Chen Huai and Cheng Yi walked out of their own shopping mall with a full bag of things, took the escalator upstairs, and saw Zhu Ziqiang and the wavy girl standing in the hall looking around.

Without saying a word, Chen Huai pulled Cheng Yi and turned from the escalator to walk towards the corridor on the left.

Zhu Ziqiang guessed that Chen Huai and his girlfriend went to the Oriental Wenhua Mall for shopping. After he came over, he didn't see Chen Huai's people on the first floor, so he stared at the escalator on the second floor.

The podium of Oriental Wenhua Shopping Mall mainly creates high-end department stores, and further up there are luxury hotels and office buildings. The self-selected shopping malls on the underground floor are relatively more civilian.

Zhu Ziqiang did not expect that Chen Huai brought Cheng Yi to Oriental Wenhua just to buy some daily necessities?

Zhu Ziqiang did not block the escalator entrance, but he also saw Chen Huai turning from the escalator entrance from the first floor of the quilt to walk to the left.

Zhu Ziqiang knew that Chen Huai wanted to avoid him, and because he knew that Chen Huai didn't see him, he did not dare to say hello, nor did he dare to chase him up and pester him, for fear that he would get bored of Chen Huai and would not have any good results. He stood up and was overwhelmed by what he was even more annoyed. He glared at Sun Juan beside him and scolded: "Look at the chicken you made | Bapo! If I messed up this deal, I will see how I deal with you!"

Sun Juan felt both wronged and afraid, and she was not as fierce as she was on the second floor of Yihe. She said cowardly: "This County Mayor Chen is familiar with Wu Hao, or should I go and talk to Wu Hao?"

Zhu Ziqiang thought about it, and thought that Wu Hao, a slut, looked like he was not promising, but his bones were hard. He was asking this kid to make a turn for the situation, but Sun Juan had to do it. He nodded and said, "You go find Wu Hao, be smart, don't mess with some chickens | Ba Po's matter! This man surnamed Chen, he looks like a little white-haired person who cheated on a girl. This is a bit of a bad habit of being an official, but others are the real God of Wealth. Whoever offended him is just can't get along with money."

*********************

Chen Huai and Cheng Yi carried a bag of daily necessities back to the dormitory of the pedestrians, and then cleaned up the room.

After packing up, it was still early to go to my sister-in-law's house to have dinner at night and could not waste it in the dormitory. Chen Huai planned to drive Cheng Yi to sway around the city to get familiar with the environment of Xucheng.

They drove downstairs and were about to leave the yard of the provincial pedestrian dormitory area when they saw Wu Hao standing on the gate with his girlfriend, saying something to the guard.

"Teacher Xiao Wu has an acquaintance here?" Chen Huai stopped the car and opened the window and asked.

Wu Hao was still not thick-skinned enough, so he grinned awkwardly and said, "I saw County Magistrate Chen from afar, you entered this yard. I want to come and visit me. The guard will not let us in..."

Wu Hao has been working in the Party School. In the past two or three years, he has mainly done work such as life counselors, and he has indeed been able to follow up with party and government officials who are studying in the Party School more closely.

At first he thought it was his opportunity, and after hitting a few more nails, he realized the coldness and ruthlessness of this world.

In the county cadres of Chenhuai period, Wu Hao did not have any fantasies except maintaining normal work contact, believing that these students' enthusiasm and affection for him will continue to maintain after the further study.

Wu Hao didn't think that Yi and the second floor met, Chen Huai was really enthusiastic. He was nothing more than a nodding and greeting the person he knew; he didn't think that he would be welcomed when he came here for a special trip.

But if his relationship with Sun Li needs to be maintained, he cannot force the relationship with Sun Li's sister and Zhu Ziqiang, so he can only go there with a bit of an hour.

"Cheng Yi has just moved here today, and the guard doesn't know her very much," Chen Huai smiled and waved to Wu Hao and his girlfriend in his car, and said, "You get in the car and talk about it. Let's not block the door."

Wu Hao and his girlfriend got in the car. Chen Huai turned around and looked at them sitting in the back car: "Where are you going? I'll take you there?"

"I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I went out to have a random walk with Sun Li. When I saw you, County Mayor Chen, I thought about coming over to visit you." Wu Hao said.

"We are also idle in the afternoon," Chen Huai laughed and said, "That's it, you guys go with us..."

"At noon in Yihe, Sun Li's sister had a little temper and said some ugly words, offending you, County Mayor Chen..." Wu Hao said.

"Oh, come over for this matter. How big is it for me?" Chen Huai said with a smile. "There are many people who speak badly at me. I can still keep it in my heart. If you talk to me, there is no 'you', 'you'. We are about the same age. I'm on the 28th day of the Chinese New Year, where are you, Teacher Xiao Wu?"

"I'm twenty-eight years old." Wu Hao said.

"Okay, then let's call us Daming." Chen Huai said.

"Sun Li's brother-in-law..." Wu Hao mentioned Zhu Ziqiang, which was his main intention to come over with a tough bullet, and he had to mention it.

"That man is Sun Li's brother-in-law. He looks over forty, right?" Cheng Yi turned around and asked.

Wu Hao said awkwardly: "Sun Li's sister worked in Dacheng Media before, met Zhu Ziqiang, and then got married..."

"It's not that I look down on Zhu Ziqiang's matter. Meigang will clean up the supplier of coking coal in the near future, and Dacheng Coal Industry will clean it up. I don't want to contact him, and it's also to avoid embarrassment when meeting in the future." Chen Huai said.

"Ah..." Wu Hao was reluctant to give Zhu Ziqiang, but he didn't expect that this would happen when he saw Chen Huai. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Thinking that this matter had nothing to do with him. If Zhu Ziqiang really wanted to live a prosperous life, his relationship with Sun Li would only be more difficult, so he simply didn't say anything.

"The two articles you published in the Party School magazine are well written. I talked about you to Qin Dawei yesterday..." Chen Huai saw Wu Hao fall into silence, and smiled and looked for topics to talk to him.

"I rode a bicycle half a month ago and passed by Director Qin by mistake. I stopped and talked for a few words," Wu Hao said. "I was idle in the two articles in the school magazine. I found some information to copy and write them. It was far less profound than that of County Mayor Chen, your articles..."

Chen Huai said that they wanted to call each other a famous name, but Wu Hao didn't think he could call Chen Huai's famous name.

"..." Chen Huai was about to turn around and say something, but his phone rang. Seeing that it was Li Gu's phone, he took out the headphones and asked Cheng Yi to help him insert them. He plugged the headphones into his ears. He saw Wu Hao in the rearview mirror that he was signaling them to get out of the car and say goodbye. He shook his head and said to Wu Hao: "It's not a big phone call, it's okay."

Chen Huai also wondered what happened to Li Gu at this time, so he answered the phone and asked, "Why did Secretary Li think of me at this time?"

"Sun Fujing of Huaimei said that you are still in Xucheng today..." Li Gu said on the phone.

"Well, Cheng Yi came to Xucheng today to help her clean up the house." Chen Huai said shamelessly.

"Is that so? I'll treat you two to dinner that night." Li Gu said.

"There is a dinner tonight. I dare not turn it off for my sister-in-law's dinner. I won't bother you today. Secretary Li, you will spend money; let's go somewhere else." Chen Huai said.

"Then please invite you two to have afternoon tea..." Li Gu insisted.

"..." Chen Huai understood why Li Gu insisted on seeing him. He looked at Wu Hao in the rearview mirror and said to Li Gu on the other end of the phone, "I am with Xiao Wu from the Provincial Party School and Director Qin Dawei and Qin of the Provincial Foreign Trade Commission. Yes, Xiao Wu is Wu Hao. Okay, we will go there in a while..."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Huai rushed to Qin Dawei again. When he called, he smiled and said to Wu Hao: "It was Li Gu, secretary of the Provincial State-owned Enterprise Working Committee. Maybe Sun Li's brother-in-law called Sun Fujing from Huaimei and told me that I was in Xucheng. Sun Fujing and Li Gu were with Li Gu. Now Li Gu wants to ask us to have afternoon tea. Don't tell me about Director Qin's affairs..."

Provincial Party Secretary Tian Jiageng also serves as the president of the Provincial Party School. Wu Hao is naturally familiar with Tian Jiageng's secretary Li Gu, and he did not expect that Li Gu would still have an impression of him.

Sun Fujing, the president of Huaimei Group, is the deputy director-level state-owned enterprise. Li Gu is now the secretary of the working committee in charge of the party group of provincial state-owned enterprises. He is a department-level cadre, and is all prominent figures in the officialdom of Huaihai Province.

During the further study at the Party School, Chen Huai lived in the dormitory with Qin Dawei for three months and had a close relationship. He took Qin Dawei over to make a scene. Wu Hao could understand, but he didn't understand why Chen Huai included him.

Of course, Wu Hao would not refuse such an opportunity, but he was a little nervous.

After a while, Qin Dawei called and he and Yang Lin studied Xinpu refining. Without disturbing Yang Lin's ideas, Chen Huai asked Qin Dawei to take a taxi directly to the entrance of the Provincial Ying Hotel to meet.

************************

Li Gu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking at the sparse and slanted old plum trees lying across the garden to the north, sprinkling the size of rice grains.

He had been hesitating whether to meet Chen Huai alone.

In the afternoon, he met with Sun Fujing, general manager and party secretary of Huaimei Group, to discuss the problems encountered in Huaimei's current work. Sun Fujing received a call and learned that Chen Huai people were in Xucheng, so he made up his mind to contact him first.

A large coke order worth 1.6 million tons, with a total value of more than one billion, can be taken to make Huaimei Group get rid of its current operating difficulties in one fell swoop.

Of course, Meigang’s coke order cannot be signed casually.

No matter which coal company signs a long-term supply agreement with Meigang, it will have to expand its production capacity accordingly. Transportation and storage of more than one million tons of coke tons is not an easy task, and it will not be possible to prepare for it without half a year.

Xinpu Steel Plant plans to officially start production and operation in nine months. In other words, if Huaimei wants to get the order of Meigang, it has to sign a supply agreement with Meigang before March, otherwise it will be completely out of the blue.

Of course, although Huaineng Group has entered coal development, the preparations will take a long time, and there is no way to supply coke or coking coal to Meigang now.

When he returned to Xinpu last time, Chen Huai mentioned the supply issue, but Meigang did not respond at all after that. Sun Fujing received news that Meigang had close contact with several coal industries in Hebei Province, and it is very likely that the supply of coke raw materials was purchased from Hebei Province and shipped to Xinpu Port by sea.

Although Meixi Development and Investment Group, the local state-owned investment and financing platform to which Meigang belongs, participated in the transformation project of Xudong Railway, the transformation of Xudong Railway and the development of Xinpu Port, which ultimately helped Huaijia's coal materials go to sea from Xinpu Port, the entire Huaijiao East Output Project is not tied to Meigang's coke procurement.

Even if Huaimei is willing to invest in the construction of the east extension line of Xudong Railway, Meigang is not grateful and interrupts Huaimei's contact on coke procurement. Sun Fujing has no choice but to help the province to come forward to see if there is any possibility of recovery.
