After coming out of Zhao Tianren's office, Bai Zhe did not go back to the office. Instead, he walked directly out of the government compound, turned left and walked into this small park facing the road.
It was almost noon, and the warm sunshine shining on my face was very pleasant.
Bai Zhe found a bench and sat down, took out his mobile phone and looked up Qi Chao's phone number that he had received at Lishui Hotel a few days ago.
The four 8's at the end of the number are particularly easy to remember. At first glance, it looks like the number used by someone who is particularly obsessed with money.
It’s not that most people don’t want to burn money, but they don’t have money. This number alone can sell for at least tens of thousands of yuan.
People who work in government units, especially those who hold important positions, are actually very low-key, for fear of leaving evidence and being reported, so Qi Chao is an exception.
He was a captain in the county transportation bureau, and he was very domineering in the bureau. Not to mention the semi-trailers he met on the road, he was able to use his authority to the fullest. The drivers he touched were worried. Not a blade of grass grows on the ground.
Bai Zhe had heard the details about him from other people's voices when he was at Lishui Hotel. Now he was making this call just to see what he thought of him, and then follow the trend to see if he could use him to get closer to Qi Guomin.
After clarifying all this in his mind, Bai Zhe pressed the answer button.
"Hey, who is it?"
Surprisingly, the phone was answered as soon as it rang.
"Captain Qi, do you still know me?"
"Who are you? If you don't tell me, how can I know if I know you?"
An evil smile appeared on Bai Zhe's lips: "I am Bai Zhe..."
"Bai Zhe? Which Bai Zhe?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, you are the Bai Zhe who was with Secretary Qin that day, right?"
Obviously, after being beaten by his father, he probably had a long memory.
"You, what do you want from me?"
Without waiting for Bai Zhe to answer, he confirmed Bai Zhe's identity, because it was Bai Zhe who gave him the taste of the belt.
That feeling is indeed unpleasant.
"I wanted to ask if you have time? Should we sit down?"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Qi Chao said quickly without saying a word: "Where are you? I'll drive to pick you up."
"I'm in the park next to the Lishui Town Government. Come on. Remember, we don't need to bring anyone else with us."
"Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes."
Bai Zhe hung up the phone.
He knew that Qi Chao was still on the national highway in the county. If he sent the team members back and then turned back, it would take at least half an hour. If he could arrive in twenty minutes, he would probably have to leave them halfway and drive directly. come over.
It is not difficult to tell from his tone that he is indeed eager to make Bai Zhe a friend.
For no other reason than to tell Qin Shuya to listen to Bai Zhe, and Qin Shuya only needs a look, and her father will whip her with a belt.
If he doesn't actively make friends who can take away the power of life and death from him, he will not be worthy of being called the eldest son of the Qi family.
Sure enough, just twenty minutes later, a Jetta that was attached to the highway for law enforcement drove up in front of Bai Zhe.
The car window rolled down, revealing Qi Chao's young face: "Brother Zhe, get in the car!"
Bai Zhe smiled, tilted his neck, and got into the passenger seat.
The car then turned around and drove towards the main street of Lishui Town with a kick of the accelerator.
"It's rare for Brother Zhe to appreciate it. Just tell me. Wherever we go, I'll pay for it."
This kid was familiar with himself and spoke very directly. Bai Zhe knew what he was thinking without having to bother to listen to his thoughts.
"Since you're the one paying the bill, it's up to you to decide. I just want to talk to you about something."
Qi Chao was stunned, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's easy to say, then just sit down."
As he spoke, Bai Zhe gave Bai Zhe a sly smile. Seeing that something was wrong, Bai Zhe quickly put on his seat belt and grabbed the armrest of the car.
"Whew!" The car roared past, sending up a cloud of smoke and dust.
A broken Jetta gave him the feeling of driving an AE86.
In less than five minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of a foot bath shop.
Before getting off the car, Bai Zhe couldn't help but ask: "Are you just stopping like this? Are you not afraid of someone taking a photo of you or something?"
Qi Chao didn't take it seriously: "I'm afraid of his eggs, so I'll shoot them if they like."
"You go first, Brother Zhe."
Entering the lobby, Qi Chao felt as if he had arrived at his own home. He casually called the manager and said, "This is my brother Zhe. Go and arrange the most beautiful technician for me."
The lobby manager bent down repeatedly: "Okay, Brother Chao, please invite us to the private room upstairs."
The two walked up the stairs. Qi Chao turned around and ordered again: "Two bowls of beef noodles, plus a pound of beef, and bring up the wine I saved last time."
"Okay, here's the arrangement."
The manager kept nodding and bowing [Oh my god, great customer, you must not dare to neglect me. 】
Bai Zhe couldn't help but slow down his steps. He was still unfamiliar with this kind of situation, and he was even a little unaccustomed to it. However, for the sake of the rest of the conversation, he had no choice but to follow his arrangements.
As soon as the two people entered the box, the manager was heard urging from downstairs: "Hurry up, I want the best girl in box 8. You all cheer up, I will make Brother Chao unhappy, and be careful about this month's bonus..." …”
The door of the box was also closed by Bai Zhe.
"Qi Chao, I have a project I want to talk to you about."
Qi Chao said while taking off his uniform: "Okay, Brother Zhe, if there is any project, just ask me, if you can help me as a brother, I will definitely help. If you have money, let's make money together."
"Ai, don't just stand there. Change your clothes quickly. Let's eat and talk later."
"good."
Bai Zhe also imitated Qi Chao and put on the big pants and undershirt from the store.
It was very warm in the private room, and he didn't feel cold even if he put on short sleeves. As soon as Bai Zhe changed his clothes, a clerk knocked on the door and came in, bringing steaming beef noodles, wine, vegetables, melon and fruit snacks.
The two of them sat on the massage table and ate facing each other.
"Do you know about this Lishui Development Zone project?"
"Yeah. I know."
Qi Chao might be hungry because he didn't have breakfast, so he ate noodles and soup very loudly.
"What? Brother Zhe, do you have an idea?"
While eating, Qi Chao thought to himself: [This trivial matter is not a big deal at all. All I need from my dad is that the project must be mine and no one can steal it. 】
"Well, I was thinking that the demolition will probably start soon. Then I would like to help you and find some work for a relative of mine."
Qi Chao let out a sigh of joy, put down his bowl and said, "Brother Zhe, you can definitely enlarge the situation a little bit. Are you going to do it yourself to find work for your relatives?"
"What? Is there a better way?"
Qi Chao put down his chopsticks, unscrewed the wine bottle, poured half a glass for each of them, and said, "After the project is over, what's your business?"
Bai Zhe nodded: "That's probably for sure, but I am a small assistant department, and my role is very limited."
Qi Chao raised his hand: "Don't worry about this, I'm just asking you, do you want to make money?"
Bai Zhe looked at him and immediately understood what he meant.
So he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, don't get me wrong. I only helped my relatives get a construction quota. As for making money myself, I really haven't thought about it."
Qi Chao slapped Bai Zhe on the leg and said with a bitter smile: "My brother Zhe, what age are we in, don't you want to make money?"
Bai Zhe smiled [It's not that I don't want to make money, but I see that you are too careless in doing things, and I'm afraid that you will be dragged into the water, and I won't be able to find a place to cry when the time comes. 】
