rebirth of cataclysm

The train Hu Mingchen took could not go directly to Liangcheng, but had to transfer in the south of the town.

Hu Mingchen originally wanted to buy a ticket back to Liangcheng directly when he thought of Zhennan, but he hesitated and called Song Qiaoshan to see if he was in Zhennan. If he was there, he would go and pay New Year's greetings. There was also Ding Yaoyang, who helped him last time.

Hu Mingchen is so busy that he hasn't had time to thank others. If given the chance, Hu Mingchen would be happy to go and pay New Year's greetings.

From the perspective of dealing with personal relationships, if these people, especially Ding Yaoyang, manage their relationships well, there will only be benefits and no harm in the future. His position is still very important.

Moreover, during the last dinner conversation, Hu Mingchen could also tell that Ding Yaoyang was not essentially a mediocre cadre or a corrupt official.

Although Hu Mingchen is very willing to make connections, he does not get along with everyone. If there is a bad-hearted person with no moral integrity at all, Hu Mingchen will stay away from him. As a person, you still have to have a basic bottom line, otherwise,

There is no guarantee that one day he will be implicated and the whole game will be lost.

As soon as Hu Mingchen called, Song Qiaoshan happened to be in Zhennan. He was on duty on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, and then returned to Zhennan to celebrate the New Year with his family.

"Master, I am also in Zhennan."

"Are you in Zhennan? Haven't you gone home? The training in Qiongzhou ended a few days ago."

"I went to Pengcheng and delayed for a few days before getting off the train, so I asked you if you are in Zhennan. If you are, I will go and wish you a happy New Year." Hu Mingchen said while standing at the exit of the station.

"Ah, um... come on then. It just so happens that you can eat when you're here."

Hu Mingchen heard Song Qiaoshan's hesitation, and he felt nervous: "Master, is it inconvenient for me to go?"

Hu Mingchen wanted to pay New Year's greetings to Song Qiaoshan, but he didn't want to cause trouble to Song Qiaoshan.

"No, what are you talking about? Come on, this is Yan'an Road. You take a taxi to the Crescent Hotel on Yan'an Road and I'll ask Song Qian to pick you up." Even if it was inconvenient, Song Qiaoshan could only swallow it now.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Mingchen first stored his luggage at the train station, then bought a few New Year gifts in the supermarket opposite the train station, hailed a taxi and went straight to the Crescent Hotel on Yan'an Road.

Hearing that Hu Mingchen was going to the Crescent Hotel, the master who was driving looked at Hu Mingchen curiously, as if he wanted to talk to him about something, but in the end he held back.

Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the Crescent Hotel, and Hu Mingchen paid and got off.

The Crescent Hotel looks quite ordinary, just like a three-star hotel. But as soon as Hu Mingchen got out of the car, he discovered a phenomenon. The parking lot in front of the hotel was almost all black Audis, and the people coming in and out

, either a dark suit or a dark jacket, it looks like this hotel is more like a government agency.

"Hey, are you Hu Mingchen?" Just as Hu Mingchen was curiously looking at the strange phenomenon at the door of the hotel, a crisp yet delicate voice sounded from Hu Mingchen's right side.

When he heard someone calling his name, Hu Mingchen quickly retracted his gaze and looked to the right.

What Hu Mingchen saw was a fair girl with a round face. He was wearing a thin white down jacket, jeans and brown casual leather boots. His hair was tied into a ponytail, and his hands were in his pockets. He looked into Hu Mingchen's eyes.

He looked curious and indifferent.

"Hello, I am Hu Mingchen, and you are Song Qian, right? Your father said just now that you would come to pick me up." Combined with what Song Qiaoshan said on the phone just now, and the other party could call her name, Hu Mingchen immediately thought of who she was.

.

"Well, I just want you to come with me." Song Qian nodded lightly, then turned around and left.

Hu Mingchen hurriedly followed with the gift, but Song Qian didn't deliberately look at the gift Hu Mingchen bought from beginning to end.

"What do you think? It's just like this." Hu Mingchen followed for two steps and vaguely heard Song Qian muttering disdainfully.

Hu Mingchen knew that what she said should be about him, but Hu Mingchen could not get to know Song Qian. If he argued with Song Qian because of such a small sentence, then Hu Mingchen's New Year's greeting would probably only turn off the fire, and would not achieve what he needed.

effect.

"Song Qian, why are there so many Audi cars in front of the Crescent Hotel? Those people look like government cadres, and the hotel business is so good during the New Year. Do you have anything to say?" Hu Mingchen took the initiative to find another topic, and the two of them asked

People can't just walk around so coldly.

Song Qian stopped and stared at Hu Mingchen like a fool: "You...you have never been here? You don't know where this is?"

"Haha, of course I haven't been here. If I had been, I wouldn't have asked you to pick me up. But I have been to your home in Gaoshan County. I know where this is, Zhennan." Hu Mingchen smiled honestly.

smiled.

"It seems that you really don't know. I have only been to my home in Gaoshan County two or three times. Let me tell you, those cars are from the cities, states and counties below. Didn't you see that there are all kinds of license plates? And...

The people you are talking about are not similar, but they are leading cadres themselves. If you don’t see it, you are so stupid that you are cute." Song Qian ridiculed Hu Mingchen.

"Cars from various cities, states and counties, leading cadres... I kind of understand, your family must live in a community with some high-ranking officials... Then why don't they drive their cars into the community?

?" Hu Mingchen was not a fool, he immediately had a premonition and noticed it.

"Haha, you think people are stupid. Not every community can be accessed by car. You will know when you get to the front." Song Qian smiled scornfully at Hu Mingchen. She was too lazy to explain to Hu Mingchen.

Following Song Qian, she walked forward for more than ten meters and after bypassing a flower bed, the gate of a community appeared in front of her.

Generally, the name of a community is placed above the gate, but this community has a sign with red letters on a white background hanging next to it.

Hu Mingchen looked closely at the sign and finally understood why this community could not be driven in and out at will. It turned out that this was the family area of ​​the Langzhou Provincial Party Committee, and there was also a security post at the gate, with people wearing military green uniforms inside.

armed police soldiers standing guard.

Vehicles that have been registered can enter and exit freely, and the railings at the gate will automatically recognize and release them. However, vehicles that have not been registered will have to undergo a lot of questioning and have to wait for the residents inside to say hello before they can enter.

No wonder the Crescent Hotel outside doesn't look very high-end, but there are so many good cars parked there. If you can't drive your car in, you can only park it there, and if you don't find anyone or don't get permission, you can park your car there.

, they chose to stay at the Crescent Hotel.

"Your family...your family lives in the compound of the Provincial Party Committee?" Hu Mingchen asked, pointing at the simple but elegant gate of the community with eyes wide open.

"Now you know why there are so many good government cars parked there, they are all just like you, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year to have a relationship." Song Qian said arrogantly.

"I'm just here to pay New Year's greetings, not to make connections." Hu Mingchen felt that he had been insulted and despised, so he said with a frown.

"That's different, let's go." Victoria curled her lips and said.

Song Qian is right, those who come to seek acquaintances all use the same guise of wishing them a happy New Year. But in fact, their real purpose is not to seek acquaintances.

Hu Mingchen really wanted to argue a few words, but felt that his throat was blocked and he didn't know how to argue.

Moreover, his brother went to this place and gave Hu Mingchen a greater shock, which was beyond his expectation.

In the past, Hu Mingchen thought that Song Qiaoshan was just an ordinary cadre or worker's son. After all, Song Qiaoshan was working in Duge Township when they met. Hu Mingchen never associated him with a provincial leader.

Who knew that when I came to this place today, I would be the most powerful and powerful person in my body.

At the gate, Song Qian showed one of her ID cards to the guard, said a few words, and then asked Hu Mingchen to go inside.

During this process, some people began to pay attention to what Hu Mingchen was carrying.

Few people who enter this door during the Chinese New Year will be empty-handed. However, many people will choose to give gifts at night. Even during the day, they are rarely so open-handed. The key is that the things they give are so ordinary.

It doesn't look like it's worth much money.

Hu Mingchen was carrying wine, but it was not Maotai. He was also carrying tea, but it was not the famous West Lake Longjing or Dahongpao. The key is that Hu Mingchen also used plastic bags to twist apples and oranges. This is simply... no

What a great comment.

After Hu Mingchen followed Song Qian inside, he looked around stupidly. He wanted to take a good look at what was different about the place where the provincial officials lived.

I have to admit that the inside here is really different from the outside community. It is well greened, with lawns and towering trees everywhere, and the evergreens on the roadside are neatly trimmed and have unique shapes. There is nothing casual about the tree-lined paths.

Parking conditions exist.

My eyes penetrated everywhere, and what I saw were single-family buildings with quite a long history. Some of the buildings also had a circle of walls. Looking past the walls, I could only see the red walls and walls on the second floor of the buildings.

Wood framed glass.

It seems that this place is not as eye-catching as the newly built high-end luxury villa area, but there is an aura of elegance and nobility everywhere inside. When Hu Mingchen walked inside, he did not dare to make loud noises, for fear of disturbing anyone.

It is an extraordinary existence.

Song Qian walked in front with her waist twisted and her ponytail swaying. Although she couldn't see his face, Hu Mingchen could imagine that the girl's face must reveal a proud and arrogant smile.

In front of Hu Mingchen, Song Qian is qualified to show her sense of superiority. One is a child from a poor ravine, and the other is a child of a high-ranking official in a provincial capital. There is really no slight difference in status.

Following Song Qian, she turned left and right in the courtyard, and finally stopped in front of the gate of an independent walled courtyard.

The half-person-high wooden door was not locked. Victoria Song opened the door with a slight push. Song Qian stepped in without even greeting Hu Mingchen.
