The Era of Hard Work

When I saw Xia Dan today, Li Wenyue wanted to ask something, so let me just say it briefly.

Xia Dan came to Lujia Village with the leader several times, and Li Wenyue sometimes followed Lu Zhenlin to the county for meetings, and the two sides were familiar.

Born and raised in this land must be influenced by the overall social environment.

Even if Li Wenyue went to university, he still couldn't escape the common customs. When encountering some things, the first thing he thought of was to ask relevant acquaintances.

Zhou Xuan was always there before, and Li Wenyue couldn't say it out loud, so it was only Lu Dong who was here, so he simply said, "Sister Xia, your unit is abducting some college students for an internship during the Chinese New Year."

"That's right." Xia Dan looked at Li Wenyue: "You want to join the Propaganda Department? No one dares to accept it. Who would dare to accept Secretary Lu's call to an important person in the Propaganda Department?"

Li Wenyue knew that this was a joke, and said, "It's not me, a classmate of mine is going to do an internship."

First it was a TV station, and then transferred to the Propaganda Department. Xia Dan was young, but he was an old fritter, so he understood immediately: "Female classmate? Which one? Mao Tongtong? Or Yuan Jing?"

"The one in the back." Li Wenyue's face hadn't been practiced by Song Na like Lu Dong's, so he said vaguely before saying, "Sister Xia, she just graduated from school and doesn't know much, so please help me."

Xia Dan responded immediately: "Okay! If you two have a wedding, you can give me a special toast!"

Li Wenyue just smiled embarrassedly.

Xia Dan waved his hand at Lu Dong: "Don't give it away, thank you for today's warm hospitality, I will come to bother you again when I have time."

Lu Dong and Li Wenyue sent them to the car, and Zhou Xuan came over to shake hands with them as farewell.

"Thank you very much for the warm hospitality from Lu Family Village." He couldn't wait for a long time, and warmly invited: "When Mr. Lu and Mr. Li are free, I will hold a banquet in the county."

Lu Dong politely declined: "No need, Mr. Zhou is a guest from afar..."

Zhou Xuan quickly said: "There are comings and goings, Mr. Lu can't let me be rude, right?"

People warmly invited him, and Lu Dong couldn't refuse. He watched Xia Dan drive Zhou Xuan out of the gate of the compound.

Turning on the asphalt road in front of the brigade, it's not too cold today. In the small square to the south, there are many elderly people active, and some are singing with the erhu.

Compared with most of the villages in the county, the older people in Lujia Village can be said to be at ease.

Xia Dan glanced at the entrance of the Lujia Village branch through the rearview mirror, and took what Li Wenyue said just now to heart.

This person is a high-achieving student of the Provincial University. I heard that he was trained by Lu Zhenlin when he first entered the university. He must be like Lu Dong in the future, and he will be a capable person in Lujia Village.

Also, others may not be very clear about it, but Xia Dan is well informed and knows that among the new interns assigned by the Ministry this year, Yuan Jing is the only daughter of Vice Minister Yuan of the United Front Work Department.

To put it bluntly, people's starting point is higher than most people.

Xia Dan was a little distracted, and quickly concentrated on driving.

Zhou Xuan said on the co-pilot: "Xia Dan, please accompany me for a run."

Xia Dan knew that he was talking about inviting Lu Dong and Li Wenyue back: "Old classmate, is there any trouble? If I go to Xichuan, can you welcome me well?"

Zhou Xuan couldn't help laughing, and asked: "I heard that Lu Dong has three cousins, and they have a very good relationship. Would you like to invite them together then?"

Xia Dan knew Lu Chun, but had never dealt with Lu Xia before, and said, "You invite me to try."

On the other side, Lu Dong and Li Wenyue returned to the office and discussed about Zhou Xuan's situation.

It is of course a good thing to do import and export business and go to other places to earn foreign exchange. I don’t know how many companies want to go out.

Some even prefer to lose money.

Because it involves not only reputation and profit, but also corresponding policies.

Just like many sports clubs in China, corporate investment never expects to make profits from sports events.

Li Wenyue flipped through the materials left by Zhou Xuan, and said, "Good things are good things, but we don't know this company well. It's not too late to talk about cooperation after learning more about it."

"The person was introduced by Xia Dan, who is quite reliable in his work." Lu Dong thought of some things Xia Dan said: "But Xia Dan also said that she is true to Zhou Xuan's old classmate, but four or five years ago Gone."

He thought for a while and said, "Wen Yue, do we have distributors in Xichuan? Ask them for help."

Li Wenyue said: "Okay, but this is the Chinese New Year, and the details have to be finished."

"This kind of cooperation can't be rushed." Lu Dong said again: "Calm down. By the way, my second sister-in-law is from Xichuan. I'll ask her later."

Li Wenyue said: "It is more reliable to divide the question into two parts, and then to synthesize the situation."

Lu Dong's voice changed: "Wen Yue, I don't know why, as soon as I heard Zhou Xuan talking about foreign exchange, my heart started beating." He told Li Wenyue needless to say: "Am I suffering from foreign exchange persecution paranoia? "

Li Wenyue laughed: "In the late stage, it's hopeless!"

At five o'clock, Lu Dong first called Hu Chunlan, left the brigade, entered the village, and went to the uncle's house.

Lu Chun is on the night shift at night and is free this afternoon. He has already returned and is playing chess with Lu Xia.

Fang Yan and Hu Chunlan didn't get off work, and they probably won't be here until around six o'clock.

Li Min and Yan Li were preparing dinner in the kitchen. When Lu Dong came to say hello, Yan Li was standing in front of the stove wearing an apron, obviously the chef for tonight.

Lu Dong went to see Lu Chun and Lu Xia playing chess.

The two of them just finished a sentence, and Lu Chun wanted to give up his seat to Lu Dong: "Would you like a hand?"

Lu Dong shook his head: "I'll just watch."

At this moment, Lu Xia set up the chess set, and asked, "The client you received today, I heard the accent, it seems to be from Xichuan?"

"It's from Xichuan." Lu Dong said briefly: "This time the county leaders went to Pengcheng to participate in the investment meeting, and many investors came back with them, and he is one of them."

Lu Xia asked again: "Why did you come to our village?"

Hearing the second brother ask this, Lu Dong was a little strange, and he still said: "Our Lu family village is famous, and attracts people to come to see if there is any opportunity for investment and cooperation... Well, he and a section chief in the county are college classmates. The chief often comes to our village with the leader and is familiar with me, so he took this road and came to me directly."

My brother and my family know each other. Lu Chun couldn't help but ask, "My second child, why do you care about these business matters? Want to change jobs and return to the village?"

Li Min just came out of the kitchen, and the words fell into his ears, and he quickly answered: "Second brother, if you can't do it, you can change jobs. Look at how well our village is developing? Come back, what can you do?"

Yan Li in the kitchen turned her gaze immediately, if Lu Xia changed jobs, in principle, she would return to her hometown for resettlement, wouldn't she have to leave her hometown?

Lu Xia said, "I can't change jobs now."

Li Min knew that he talked less, but his ideas were more upright than Lu Chun and Lu Dong's, so he couldn't speak at all, sighed, went to the yard to get a green onion, and went back to the kitchen.

The future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were chatting in the kitchen suddenly became much quieter.

Lu Chun lowered his voice: "Stop talking about changing jobs."

Lu Dong said, "Brother, no one mentioned it except you."

Lu Chun glanced at him and said, "Dongzi, your sister-in-law said that as soon as Xiao Song graduates, she will go to Xiao Song's house to say goodbye on behalf of our family. You should get married early, and then you will be urged to have a baby." , not just your sister-in-law."

"Brother, you and sister-in-law are not righteous." Lu Dong went to pour water for the two brothers and asked, "Second brother, you are not quite right today."

Lu Xia understood what Lu Dong meant, and didn't even lift her eyelids: "I'm also from Lu's Village, so can't I care about the village?"

Lu Chun answered, "When you come back next time, our village will be different again."

Lu Xia also said a few more words: "Dongzi will be a billionaire by then..."

"Now he is a billionaire." Fang Yan opened the door and came in, took off his coat and hung it on the coat hanger in the entrance: "The annual revenue is hundreds of millions."

Lu Dong didn't answer the topic: "Sister-in-law, do you leave work early today?"

Fang Yan said: "I went to the Qingzhao County Committee to hold a meeting. Starting from April, Qingzhao will do a major promotion on the City of Culture and Tourism, and plans to give our Evening News a large advertising order."

Lu Dong said: "If you are willing to invest, you will have output."

In fact, not only the Evening News, Qingzhao County also intends to go to Xisantai Taiwan to advertise, such as the Chime Bell Chime Concert that is being discussed.

But these will have to wait until the first phase of the cultural tourism plan is about to be completed.

Lu Xia asked some more about Zhou Xuan. Lu Dong was even more curious, but he held back and didn't ask any more questions.

After a short meeting, Hu Chunlan also came.

Lu Jianguo was the latest to come, and it’s almost the Chinese New Year. It’s another time of the year for project workers to settle accounts. There is no one in this line of work who doesn’t want to pay their bills. And so on, the more you want a settlement.

In the past, people in Lujia Village worked as masons outside, and they could ask for wages until the evening of New Year's Eve.

The whole family set the table and went to the restaurant for dinner. Li Min said that Lu Dong would not call Song Na. Hu Chunlan took the opportunity to say that they would go on the second day of the Lunar New Year and would call Song Na over.

During the meal, only Lu Dong and Lu Jianguo drank some wine.

Lu Xia is very self-disciplined and does not drink at all; Lu Chun has to be on duty at night and cannot drink.

At the dinner table, the main topic was the matter of Lujia Village. This year, Lujia Village has developed rapidly. Not only the subordinate companies have performed well, but the resort invested by Lao Du's family has started construction to the east, and Zhao Zhen's amusement park project is also in the early stage of construction.

The formation of a cluster effect here can also attract other projects to land.

Not to mention related policies.

After dinner, they packed up the food and beverages, and drank tea and chatted together again. Lu Dong approached Yan Li and asked about Zhou Xuan and his trading company. Help and ask.

Lu Dong didn't notice, Lu Xia, who was quiet and didn't talk much, kept listening with his ears up.

Lu Chun was on duty and left with Fang Yan first.

Lu Dong and Hu Chunlan also went home.

"You tell Xiao Song in advance that you will come over in the second year of junior high school." Hu Chunlan told Lv Dong as she walked, "Also tell her to make preparations, so it's better to stagger things with her side."

"I'll make a call right away." Lu Dong touched his pocket, but couldn't find the phone. Then he remembered that when he was packing up the meals, he left it on the window sill.

He said, "I left my mobile phone at Uncle's house, go back and get it."

Turning around and walking back, as soon as he reached the door of the uncle, Lu Xia came out with the car keys.

"Second brother, are you going out so late?" Lu Dong asked.

Lu Xia said, "I'm going to meet a friend." He changed the subject, "You left your phone at home."
