Junjie, whose full name is Liao Junjie.
He is not only one of Brother Yun’s right-hand men, but also my leader.
Before I arrived at Yunding, he had been the manager of Yunding. After I became the senior manager, I was brought to work by Brother Yun and became the vice president of the company.
He is not old, he is only thirty-eight years old this year.
From the time I met him until now, he has always had clean, round hair, a good figure, and often wears a black suit.
It looks elegant on the outside, with a pair of gold-framed decorative mirrors, which makes it feel particularly elegant.
He is relatively introverted and not very talkative.
But you would never imagine that such a person is much more ruthless than me.
For example, if it were him who handled Xing Zhiwei's matter, he would never worry about whether he would damage the person or not. He really dared to destroy Xing Zhiwei.
Not for anything else, just for Brother Yun!
If I can do my best for Brother Yun, then he can even give his life for Brother Yun.
This may be due to his early experiences.
Junjie's parents divorced when he was a child, and it was his father who brought him up.
His father had no education and was in poor health. I can't do heavy physical work, so I can only work as a cleaner sweeping the streets. The monthly income is barely enough to support the family.
Other children have had many toys since childhood and often wear new clothes, which Junjie has never experienced.
But he is very sensible. His family situation is not good, but he has never complained. On the contrary, he is very motivated and studies hard.
But hard work is hard work. The reality is that when he goes to college, his family's income will not be able to support him.
He had no choice but to rely on his family, so he had no choice but to come to X city from the county to work.
From then on, he went to Yunding and worked as a waiter.
Later, when Brother Yun heard about him, he not only donated generously to help him finish college, but also spent a lot of money to treat his father's illness.
And Brother Yun’s efforts were not in vain.
After graduating from Junjie University, he returned to Yunding again and worked conscientiously. As long as it was what Brother Yun asked, he would do it without any hesitation.
Now, Junjie has become the vice president. Many people in the company attribute his success to luck and feel that without Brother Yun's help back then, he would not have achieved what he has today.
Of course, this is understandable.
But one thing they didn't know was that not everyone could do it.
At that time, in addition to Yunding, Brother Yun also had a newly established small factory. I don't know whose cake was tampered with, so some people from the street came to cause trouble.
Although I reported J, the situation at the time was critical.
Junjie happened to be with Brother Yun that day.
Seeing that those people were threatening Brother Yun, without saying a word, he picked up a stick and rushed into the crowd.
There were more than twenty people there, and they were all strong and strong. But Junjie was not afraid at all.
According to Brother Yun's recollection: "The handsome man at that time was like a mad dog covered in blood."
If you had a subordinate like this, wouldn't you like it? Do you think it's not worth paying a small amount of money for him?
Ten minutes later, after walking out of the gate of the community, Junjie's car was already parked at the door.
"Brother Junjie."
After getting in the car, I said hello to him, but he smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Brother Junjie, where are we going?"
On the way, I handed him a cigarette. Junjie stared straight ahead and answered me with only three words: "New Town."
The new urban area is a newly developed area in X city in the past two years.
It used to be a suburb, very desolate, and almost no one went there. Later, coal mines were discovered in the surrounding area, which attracted the attention of the city. They began to focus on developing the area and changed its name to "New City".
Because it was just beginning, many wealthy people in the city wanted to make a pot of gold from here.
After driving for about ten minutes, you can see what the new city looks like. It's very different from what I remember because I haven't been to this area for several years.
Many of the buildings are newly built, and there are not many shops opened nearby.
However, compared to the old city, the roads here are very wide and well-constructed. There are a lot of cars coming and going, and it seems quite lively.
When I came here before, it was all dirt roads. How could there be so many cars? The surrounding area was almost all bungalows. There are also very few people.
I couldn't help but sigh as I looked at it.
"This is such a big change."
As soon as he finished speaking, Junjie, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"Xiaoyang, do you know what another name is for Xincheng District?"
I smiled and shook my head.
Junjie smoked a cigarette and said calmly.
"Ghost town."
Hearing these two words, I was slightly surprised.
It’s hard to imagine why such a vibrant urban area would be associated with “ghosts”.
Just listen to Junjie explain.
"You can't see anything here during the day, but at night, there are almost no cars on the streets, there are very few people, and the whole city is quiet, so many people call it a ghost town."
I looked at him with some confusion.
"Isn't the city already vigorously developing this area? I see there are a lot of people on the street. Do they all go back to the city at night?"
Junjie shook his head slightly and put out the cigarette butt in his hand.
"Most of the people you see live in the surrounding mining areas. In fact, there are very few people in the city. There are not many jobs, so how can there be so many people from the city coming."
"However, it's still very lively here at night."
I'm very surprised. This sounds like a very contradictory sentence. Since it is a "ghost town", how can it be connected with the word "lively"?
Before I could say anything, Junjie said.
"You will understand later."
Seeing that Junjie had no intention of continuing, I didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, the car drove into a small road. I am somewhat familiar with this place. Not far away there is a small temple called "Cining Temple".
The temple is not very big. It existed long ago when this place was still in the suburbs. Because it is relatively remote and it is not convenient to get here from the city, the incense here is not strong.
At this time, I was sitting in the car and could see from a distance that the walls outside had been repainted with red paint.
You can see through the wall that many of the tiles on the roof are new. They should have been repaired as a whole. I don't know when they were renovated.
But what I didn't expect was that Junjie parked his car directly at the entrance of the temple.
"Get off the car, Brother Yun is waiting for you inside."
