Chapter 29 5. Open Sesame

Doing the capital verification report is the most important test for Javert, and he really handed over the one million invoice to me.Qian Gang's wife runs an accounting firm, and the capital verification report went smoothly.After all the formalities were completed, I handed it over to Qian Gang, and I waited for the good news from Qian Gang.In the past few days, the director in charge has been on a business trip for a meeting, so he has to wait. The next step is to choose a high-level fashion designer. Javert suggested that I go to Dongzhou Academy of Fine Arts to look for it.Dongzhou Academy of Fine Arts has a fashion design department. It would be the best to hire a fashion designer from here. I suffer from the fact that Dongzhou Academy of Fine Arts has no acquaintances.

One day when I was strolling around at noon, I happened to walk near the Dongzhou Academy of Fine Arts, and found a banner with red background and yellow characters hanging in front of a window on the third floor of a residential building facing the street: Lan Ling Painting Class for Graduate Students teaches painting and fashion design.I was overjoyed and dialed the phone number on the banner. After I introduced myself, Lan Ling said, "Mr. Lei, I'm walking back from the college. Please wait for me at the entrance of the building." The residential buildings near Dongzhou Academy of Fine Arts have become students’ dormitories and studios. It was almost noon, and male and female students in twos and threes were talking and laughing as they walked towards their respective residential buildings. The various small restaurants on the first floor were full of students. Some students bought some snacks such as Malatang from a stall on the side of the road and took them back to the dormitory to eat. At this time, a handsome man of medium build and a beautiful girl came over together.

"Is that Mr. Lei?" the man asked. "Exactly, are you Lan Ling?" "Yes, I'm Lan Ling. Mr. Lei, please go upstairs and talk." In this way, we went upstairs. The room is two rooms, without a hall, we came to the largest room, the walls are covered with sketches, paintings, and a large self-made painting table. "Mr. Lei, please sit down!" Lan Ling said politely. "Lan Ling, you guys are talking, I'm going to the bedroom for dinner." said the girl who came in together. Lan Ling nodded to the girl, and then said to me: "My girlfriend is also from Dongzhou Academy of Fine Arts."

"Lan Ling, since we are both scholars, I won't go around the bush. I just opened a clothing company and am looking for a fashion designer at Dongzhou Academy of Fine Arts. I wonder if you are interested?" I said straight to the point. "I think that Mr. Lei has an extraordinary temperament. At first glance, he is a person who does great things. I opened this painting class with a friend. He is mainly responsible for teaching fashion design, but there are too few students in this field, so this class now only teaches Painting. My friend is Luo Wen. He is a master and lecturer in the Fashion Design Department of Dongzhou Academy of Fine Arts. He won the third prize in the National Fashion Design Competition. I will give you the phone number and you can talk about it yourself.” Lan Ling Very sincerely.

"Great." I wrote down Luo Wen's cell phone number, fearing that it would not be safe, Lan Ling also gave me the cell phone number of Luo Wen's girlfriend Liu Hui. "In fact, Liu Hui and I are classmates, and I met Luo Wen through Liu Hui. These two people are inseparable. If you find one, you will find them both." Lan Ling said enthusiastically. I didn't expect to make a random phone call so rewarding, so I got up and said goodbye: "Lan Ling, after I get in touch with Luo Wen, let's get together. I'm easy to make friends." It can be seen that Lan Ling Since Ling has not entered the society, she is very simple. We shook hands warmly, as if we have known each other for many years.

On the way back, I passed Fuxing Garden, which brought back my memories of the past.Among the cadres above the deputy city level in Dongzhou, only Zhang Guochang lives in a residential area, and the house is also very ordinary.Li Guofan and his like lived in a garden villa near the river as soon as they arrived in Dongzhou, and there were armed police soldiers on guard.It's not that Zhang Guochang is simple and doesn't pursue luxury houses, but that moving is not easy.Anyone who has given gifts to Zhang Guochang’s house knows that Mayor Zhang’s house is only 130 square meters, and the decoration is very ordinary. Unlike Li Guofan’s house, the curtains are worth more than 70,000 yuan. On the golden plaque of "for the public", on the shelf in the living room, a dinosaur fossil egg is worth more than 600,000 yuan.

Zhang Guochang is more scheming than Li Guofan in terms of not being public.At first, when the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was investigating Zhang Guochang, they went to Zhang Guochang's house, and they were really moved by the fact that the executive deputy mayor of Dongzhou City lived in such a house.After Meng Lihua was arrested, when the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau searched her home, they made a shocking discovery. It turned out that Zhang Guochang's home had a secret room of 130 square meters.The people of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau are like Alibaba finding a treasure, and they feel like "opening the door with sesame seeds".

I also knew this secret two months before Zhang Guochang's accident.That morning I went to pick up Zhang Guochang to go to work. The little nanny said that Mayor Zhang was sick and had a cold and a fever.It happened that Meng Lihua was on a business trip, so I made an exception and went to the bedroom to visit Mayor Zhang who was lying on the bed.Mayor Zhang said that he is not feeling well, so he will not go to work today.After speaking, I got up and opened the door of the big wardrobe. I thought he was going to get clothes, but unexpectedly he stepped in and came out after twenty minutes.I was stunned, and I later found out that he went to the bathroom in the secret room.In fact, Zhang Guochang was very dissatisfied with his house and never found a suitable location.He asked me to pay more attention to find a property with a good location.The leader spoke, and I drove around Dongzhou City in my free time, trying to find a satisfactory place for Mayor Zhang.

After searching many places, Zhang Guochang and Meng Lihua were not satisfied.One day when I passed Fuxing Garden, I was stunned. There are two six-story buildings in a spacious and elegant yard, surrounded by villas where provincial and general cadres live. What I didn’t expect was that these two buildings were built by It was developed by the real estate company of the municipal government office. The building in front is almost full, filled with the secretary-general and directors of the office. The building behind is too high-grade and has been vacant.Zhang Guochang and Meng Lihua were very happy to see the house.Zhang Guochang is particularly satisfied with the surrounding environment.

"Leimer, this location is well chosen. From the beginning of liberation to the present, this place has lived in high-ranking officials. Don't look at the old villas around you that are not as good as the newly developed villas, but these old villas live in provincial and ministerial level. Cadres or generals, with strong official spirit and good Fengshui, living here must have good official luck." When I was looking for a house for Zhang Guochang, I never thought about this meaning. I thought that a good location and a good house would be enough. I didn’t expect Zhang Guochang to pay more attention to the official atmosphere around the living environment.

The news that Mayor Zhang wants to buy a house in Fuxing Garden spread like wildfire.Some followers also bought houses in Fuxing Garden.Being able to be neighbors with Mayor Zhang makes it convenient for us to do everything and deepen our relationship.The two newly appointed deputy mayors also came to join in the fun, especially Teng Wei, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, originally lived in the same building as Mayor Zhang. Said that Mayor Zhang was going to move to Fuxing Garden again, so he took the lead in buying a building downstairs from Mayor Zhang's house.Teng Wei took the initiative to challenge Mayor Zhang to renovate his house.Zhang Guochang has a close relationship with Teng Wei.Because of this, Zhang Guochang couldn't hand over the decoration of the house to Teng Wei. Zhang Guochang had to choose a high-level and uninformed person to renovate the house, because Zhang Guochang didn't buy one house in Fuxing Garden but three houses. There are four units in this building, and each building is for one household. Zhang Guochang bought three buildings but they are on the same level, one unit for each building. The first building is his own home, the second is his mother-in-law’s home, and the third is a secret room. , these three houses are to be connected.Teng Wei knew too many things, how could such an important matter be entrusted to him?However, I knew about this matter, because I saw the decoration renderings designed by Yang Rubin for him on Zhang Guochang's desk.Yang Rubin's demeanor of a Confucian businessman convinced Zhang Guochang.
