The Era of Hard Work

Provincial University, early in the morning, Lu Dong came to a dormitory building, met Li Wenyue, entered a small pavilion next to him, sat on a stone stool, and watched the door of the dormitory building where people entered and exited tens of meters away.

"I heard that there are several leaders in the college who are very optimistic about Yang Guoqiang." Li Wenyue briefly stated what he knew: "Later, something happened to Yang Guoqiang's family, and some leaders took the initiative to distance themselves, but there were two who were close to him. , I want to persuade him to stay in school."

Lu Dong nodded his head slightly, he can get a relatively good position in the student union, and he can behave in the world. In this society, especially in the public sector, it is often better to be a person than to be a good person.

Li Wenyue continued: "Yang Guoqiang refused, and he wanted to go abroad wholeheartedly, saying that he was going to study abroad."

Lu Dong smiled: "Going abroad is also very good."

Li Wen was more curious: "Didn't you say that the United States is in chaos?"

"Wen Yue." Lu Dong joked, "If you want to study in the United States, I'll give you two bulletproof vests."

Li Wenyue shook his head: "If I don't go, I will work after graduation. I have to reduce the burden on my family."

Lu Dong didn't speak any more. He saw a black Santana car driving up and parked in front of the dormitory building. A middle-aged man wearing glasses got out of the car and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Soon, the well-dressed Yang Guoqiang came out of the dormitory building with a suitcase, and several people came out to see him off, probably roommates or something.

Lu Dong and Li Wenyue looked over there.

Yang Guoqiang put his luggage away, hugged and said goodbye to his classmates one by one, opened the passenger door to get in the car, lowered the window glass and waved to his classmates.

Originally, he was one of the rich second generations in Qingzhao County, but now he can only leave sadly.

"Uncle Ming." Yang Guoqiang held back the tears that wanted to flow out: "Let's go."

The middle-aged man started the car, and the black Santana drove away slowly.

The dormitory building, library, teaching building, administrative building, and the familiar buildings retreated backwards, as if they were reflections of more than 20 years of life.

Yang Guoqiang's urge to cry gradually dissipated, and he was as calm as a veteran cadre, sitting in the co-pilot, watching the scenery outside the window, without saying a word.

It wasn't until Santana drove out of the school gate that he said slowly, "Goodbye, Provincial University. Goodbye, Taidong."

This time, may not come back.

Santana went out and turned west. Yang Guoqiang turned his head and seemed to want to take another look at the school through the rear window of the car.

The middle-aged man said: "Come back after you finish your studies."

Yang Guoqiang managed to squeeze out a smile: "Uncle Ming, I probably won't be coming back, the United States is very good."

The middle-aged man didn't persuade him any more, and said, "Be careful when you go there. It's hard to go out after a thousand days at home. You have to rely on yourself for everything."

Yang Guoqiang responded and stopped talking.

…………

On the provincial university campus, Lu Dong saw that Santana had disappeared, so he got up and prepared to leave.

"I won't see you off." Li Wenyue followed him out of the small pavilion: "I have to go back to class."

Lu Dong said, "Okay, call me if you need anything."

Li Wenyue carried the bag of books, walked towards the teaching building, and went to class safely.

Just entered the Hetang classroom, Yuan Jing, who was in class together today, greeted him: "Wen Yue, come here."

Originally, when they were in high school, the two had known each other at best, but they got a lot closer after arriving at the Provincial University, especially recently they set up the Qingzhao No. 1 High School Alumni Association together.

Came to the empty seat next to Yuan Jing and sat down, Yuan Jing asked, "Why are you here so late?"

Li Wenyue said: "Dongzi came over, I had a conversation with him."

Yuan Jing asked curiously: "I heard news from home that Mr. Yang, the boss of Hailong Company in the county seat, went in, and it was Lu Dong who did it."

Li Wenyue had a general understanding, but he didn't want to cause trouble for Fa Xiao, so he said, "It's nothing but rumors."

Yuan Jing stared at him: "What is nonsense, my dad said, can it be worse?"

Li Wenyue didn't ask Yuan Jing's family what to do specifically, but he generally knew that her father was an official in the county.

"Do you believe everything Lu Dong says?" Yuan Jing reminded, "Wen Yue, do you know that when you were in high school, many people said that you were Lu Kuisheng's number one."

Li Wenyue said directly: "The number one dog leg?"

Yuan Jing smiled embarrassedly: "Almost."

"You don't know, Dongzi has fought with people since he was a child, and many times it was because someone bullied me." Li Wenyue raised his thin arm like a bamboo pole: "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and many people like to bully me. It's not Dongzi who helped me. In the early days, I was not sure how I would be bullied since I was a child."

Yuan Jing didn't speak, but she had heard some things from Qingzhao No. 1 Middle School in high school and Ningxiu Central Middle School in junior high school.

Li Wenyue is a master of learning, but he is not the kind who only reads sage books: "Yuan Jing, you don't know many things. For example, when there was a flood last summer, I kept vigil at Qingzhao River. If Dongzi didn't find out that I was guarding If there is a problem, maybe the embankment will collapse, I was dozing on the embankment, it’s scary to think about it now.”

Yuan Jing heard this for the first time: "Hey..."

Li Wenyue said: "Everything else is just a fleeting moment, a matter of a good brother's life."

Yuan Jing had nothing to say, so she just opened the book and read.

…………

Leaving the Provincial University, Lu Dong returned to the intersection, and soon received a call from Team Zhang, and rode his motorcycle to the county seat.

The southern couple who originally used Feiyang Hot Pot arrived at Qingzhao yesterday. Under Team Zhang’s ingenious reminder that the receptionist was "unintentional", the southern couple learned that Yang Fugui and Ma Yunlai who set up the trap for them back then deserved what they deserved. A catering owner named Lu Dong played a key role in taking back Feiyang Hot Pot San Restaurant.

Under the condition of not violating organizational discipline and personal principles, Team Zhang and others are also willing to help Lu Dong appropriately.

When the couple from the south learned of this situation, they immediately begged Team Zhang, hoping to meet their "benefactor".

So, this meeting happened very naturally.

Lu Dong came to the county guest house and went to the restaurant on the first floor that he had made an appointment with.

Team Zhang was waiting for him at the door of the restaurant.

Lu Dong hurried over and said, "Brother Zhang, I need to trouble you to run over for such a trivial matter."

Captain Zhang smiled: "It should. You gave the bureau and me such a great credit, we can't make you sweat and cry."

The bureau is basically set, and when there is a big adjustment next month, he will also serve as the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation.

It is not easy to cross this step.

If the case of Yang Fugui and Ma Yunlai had been suppressed by the superiors, they might have done nothing to solve the case in the end. Now they took the initiative to take the initiative to kill it, and their credit far outweighed their fault.

Lu Dong followed Team Zhang into the room, and Team Zhang said as he walked, "I've been asked, they don't want to stay in Qingzhao, and the store wants to sell as soon as possible. I'll bring the topic to this later, you yourself Look at the answer. But there is one thing I have to remind you, Lu Dong, the business must be done legally, and you can’t force people.”

"Brother Zhang, am I that kind of person?" Lu Dong said.

Team Zhang felt at ease with Lu Dong, and this was also an important reason why he was willing to help him. Lu Dong knew how to advance and retreat, and he would not act recklessly just because of his power, leading to taking the people who helped him into the ditch.

Some people, if you help him, he will take you into the ditch and dig a big hole, which will cause endless troubles later.

Who would dare to help someone like this? Who wants to help?

Lu Dong would not have such a problem.

The two entered the restaurant, and soon saw a couple in their forties. The man was very thin, and the woman was short and fat. They were well-dressed and their living conditions were not bad.

Team Zhang introduced: "You two, this is Lu Dong. He has contributed a lot to capturing Yang Fugui." He then introduced the couple: "This is Gu Yu, and this is Xi Honghong. They used to do business in Qingzhao. , the original owner of Feiyang Hot Pot. Lu Dong, they are all victims of the case of Yang Fugui and Ma Yunlai, just like you."

The thin man named Gu Yu stepped forward quickly, shook hands with Lu Dong vigorously, his face was quite excited: "I didn't expect to get back the fat sheep hotpot, thank you for your kindness!"

Xi Honghong said: "Brother, you are our benefactor!"

Lu Dong hurriedly said: "I'm also in business, and I know the feeling of asking someone to take over my family business. Yang Fugui and Ma Yunlai also want to take over my property, so I'm lucky, otherwise..."

Strictly speaking, both sides are victims of the Yang Fugui and Ma Yunlai cases, so they can feel the same way.

If Lu Dong hadn't taken every step very steadily and experienced a special experience, facing Yang Fugui and Ma Yunlai, he might end up like this couple.

Both parties were very polite, because of the relationship between Yang Fugui and Ma Yunlai, they had a good impression of each other, and they sat at a table and chatted for a while.

The topic mainly revolved around Yang Fugui and Ma Yunlai. When Lu Dong talked about the experience of being tricked, Gu Yu and his wife thought about their own experience and sighed.

"The catering industry is not easy." Gu Yu sighed, and said, "Brother, you are also in this industry, so you must have feelings."

Lu Dong said, "It's not easy."

Gu Yu glanced at Team Zhang: "Brother, you are down-to-earth when you open a shop in your hometown. Like us from other places, the rootless Zhiping and Yang Fugui also make me understand that everything is good, but it is not as good as your hometown. Wait for us to sell it. Get rid of the three restaurants of Feiyang Hot Pot, and start over again when you go back to your hometown."

Team Zhang answered at the right time: "Lao Gu, don't you want to sell those three restaurants? Lu Dong also works in catering, why don't you discuss it?"

Gu Yu asked: "Brother Lu, are you interested in Feiyang Hotpot?"

Lu Dong told the truth: "I want to open a store in the county town, but I haven't been able to find a suitable place. If you are willing to sell it, brother, I can buy it."

When it came to business, Team Zhang made a start, and it was impossible to take care of it anymore, so he offered to go out and make a phone call.

Gu Yu didn't plan to stay in Qingzhao at all, because of the relationship between the county bureau and Yang Fugui, he was more at ease with Lu Dong, and said: "The three stores, when I bought them, cost a total of 250,000. To be honest, The two of us have already earned this part of the money. Brother Lu, this house can come back thanks to you, and I will not ask you for more. There are three shops, one is 230 square meters, and the other is about 175 square meters, including everything inside. I only want 300,000."

Lu Dong roughly calculated in his mind that the average price of shops in the county is seven to eight hundred, and three hundred thousand is not only not expensive, it can even be said to be a conscience price.

"That's fine." Lu Dong said, "Brother, let's make an agreement!"

Gu Yu stood up and shook hands with Lu Dong: "I don't talk about anything else, I talk about reputation! Besides, you are our benefactor, brother."
