Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Gao Hongda used to hate meetings the most, but this time he is an exception. As the boss of the company, attending such a meeting feels so glorious in his heart. Everyone here, no matter their age or their previous position, must surrender today. I have never enjoyed this kind of proud feeling in front of myself. No wonder those officials like to attend meetings. Sitting on the podium represents power and glory.

At the dinner party, he no longer drank heavily. Even if he just licked the wine glass, he gave enough face to the people below. No one dared to question him face to face: "Do you raise fish?"

In the past, when I saw leaders in meetings, I always wanted to curse a few words in my heart, and I felt disgusted by the few words that the leaders repeated over and over again. Now that I think about it, I really can’t eat sour grapes.

He was in a beautiful mood, so naturally he wanted to find someone to share it with. He first called Xia Sisi and chatted with her happily for nearly an hour. After hanging up the phone, I immediately sent another text message to my little netizen. He talked a lot today. After all, he was in a high mood.

When he was lying on the bed, he suddenly realized a problem: Whether he was on the phone with Xia Sisi or sending messages to his little netizens, he felt an itch in his heart. Could it be that this is what it feels like to be in love? What a wonderful experience! Can’t stop from now on! Now that I have money, I can afford to have thirty or fifty girlfriends, let alone these two.

Suddenly I started to worry about Xia Sisi again, but please don't marry the old man! Uncle, please don’t forget about the business. You must keep an eye on the affairs of her restaurant.

In the middle of the night, Yan Gaoliang, who was looking at houses in the capital, called him and told him excitedly that Brother Han Fei had found a courtyard with three entrances. It was near the front door and within the second ring road. The location was excellent and the layout of the house was quite domineering. , the price is not expensive, but none of this is important. The most important thing is that they have invited Mr. Zhang to have a drink in the courtyard tomorrow.

Gao Hongda naturally understood that making friends with Mr. Zhang was part of Brother Liang’s revenge plan, and he himself did not want to participate in such a high-end dispute. Brother Liang seemed to sense his negativity and launched another big move. According to reliable sources, of course it was Brother Han Fei revealed that Mr. Zhang has a very big project in his hands, and if the relationship is good, it is not impossible to get a share of the pie.

Gao Hongda immediately agreed: If you say this, I won't be sleepy anymore!

Early the next morning, Gao Hongda drove to the address provided by Liang Ge, which was a set of courtyard houses near Qianmen Street. The courtyard houses on this street had been renovated by relevant departments and were neatly arranged, with clean walls and a sense of historical vicissitudes. When it was empty, it didn't look as gray as in the old photos. Instead, it looked like a very bright old street with blue bricks and glazed tiles, simple and elegant. There was a hotel sign hanging at the door of the courtyard that Han Fei found. It seemed that the previous owner had transformed this courtyard into a bed and breakfast. The stone lions at the door were lifelike. When you stepped into the red lacquer door, you were greeted by a tall brick screen. There are neatly laid stone bricks at your feet. You go around the screen to see the courtyard as you enter. The side rooms of the main house are all decorated with carved beams and painted beams. The eaves are painted with exquisite patterns of auspicious clouds. The carved window lattice is equipped with glass. It is simple yet modern. From the left The door can be used to enter the second and third courtyards in sequence. The previous owner built a small pavilion on the open space in the yard. The road leading to the small pavilion is winding and winding. There is a wooden grape trellis above the head. The grape leaves are in full bloom at this moment. when.

Brother Liang set the dining table in the pavilion, while the others were lying on the bamboo loungers nearby and reading newspapers leisurely. When they heard the footsteps, they quickly got up and greeted Gao Hongda.

Gao Hongda said with emotion: "Second brother, you feel so comfortable. All you have to do now is hang a bird cage on your head and hold two walnuts in your hand. You look so leisurely like an old man from Beijing."

Yan Gaoliang laughed loudly and didn't talk nonsense. He quickly dragged him to visit every room. After all, it was once run as a hotel. The rooms were very clean, with ready-made beds, air conditioning and heating. You could check in directly with your bags.

Gao Hongda asked: "How much does it cost?"

Brother Liang made the sign of eight and said: "Eight million! Brother Han Fei has already paid the money, but the transfer procedure is a bit troublesome."

Gao Hongda was also pleasantly surprised. Such a big yard only cost eight million. Isn't it like picking it up for free?

However, what surprised him even more was that Brother Liang opened a side door and actually revealed a downward step. Go down the step. Below is a basement with a large area. It has been transformed into a KTV private room. Although The equipment is a bit old, but the room is beautifully decorated. Even if you sing in there, you won't be able to hear your voice outside.

Brother Liang explained: "According to Han Fei, the original landlord liked gambling and did not run the hotel well. As a result, he lost everything and was heavily in debt. He was forced by debt collectors to have no choice but to sell the yard urgently. , after paying off the gambling debt, I can still have half left to do some business."

Gao Hongda didn't care about this and asked curiously: "Where did Boss Han Fei get the money to advance? He and his wife will not be able to earn so much money in three lifetimes!"

Brother Liang curled his lips and said: "You can pull him down. He is a department-level cadre in the capital and has a bright future. As long as he wants money, the person who sends the money will have to line up from here to Tiananmen. For his official position, he will be given a hundred million yuan. Don’t change it. Even if a billionaire wants to treat him to a meal, it still depends on his mood! How can he not be able to get [-] million from the efforts of three generations? Let’s not show off our money in front of others in the future. In people’s eyes, it doesn’t even count!”

After hearing this, Gao Hongda wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the pride in his heart suddenly disappeared. What Brother Liang said makes sense. Money really doesn't count in the face of power.

The two of them summed it up by saying: Don't talk about money in front of officials! Otherwise it would be a disgrace to oneself.

The two of them fell into another dilemma: Do they want this yard or not? If you want it, it's like robbing Han Fei. If you don't want it, you'll be at a loss. This yard is really good.

In the end, the two of them made up their minds. They would rather lose their house than their relationship. It is difficult to find such a cheap brother. How many rich bosses have to queue up if they want to ask someone out for a cup of tea. Neither black nor white would dare to offend such a high-ranking official with a family background. It was the two of them who took advantage of being able to make friends with people from such a family background.

What's more, this eldest brother is a very down-to-earth person. Drinking with the two younger brothers is also very relaxing. It can be described as a kindred spirit. This kind of friendship cannot be tainted by money.

Gao Hongda slapped his forehead and remembered something: Secretary Zheng had previously told him to take Han Fei with him when drinking together. I wonder if it would be rude to inform him at this time.

I didn't have time to think too much, so I quickly took out my phone and called Zheng Shaoqiu. Sure enough, Secretary Zheng was yelling on the phone: "It's almost time to eat and you think of me! It's obviously not sincere! We must break off our friendship! I don't care about my brother, It’s not like I can’t afford to eat!”

No matter how Gao Hongda tried to quibble, the other party still sounded extremely annoyed, and in the end the call was simply hung up.

Gao Hongda let out a long sigh: "It's over, it's over, I've completely offended Lao Zheng now!"

Yan Gaoliang smiled easily and explained: "If Secretary Zheng's tone is calm, it means he is really angry! The more fierce he screams, the more nonsense he says! I dare to bet you that you can send him your address now." Go over there and he will come right away!"
