Chapter 32 5. "The Great Demolition"

Shi Cunshan and Ding Nengtong found a small restaurant called "Badazui Killing Pig Cai", ordered two random dishes, and ordered two bottles of Dongzhou Daqu, preparing to get drunk.  Shi Cunshan was involved in cases during this time, and he hadn't had a good drink for a long time. Both of them couldn't help themselves, and after three glasses of wine, they started talking.  "Nengtong, what's the matter with you and Yixue?" Shi Cunshan asked in a tone of exasperation.  "Yixue didn't tell you?" "Tell us what? Every time Yixue calls Yimei, she cries like tears. Why, do you want to be Chen Shimei?" Shi Cunshan asked sarcastically. 

"I know that I have always been Chen Shimei in the eyes of you and Yimei, unlike you who are always a hero!" Ding Nengtong said to himself.  "When did we treat you as Chen Shimei? I was asking you such a good daughter-in-law to say no to it, so what happened?" Shi Cunshan asked forcefully after drinking a glass of wine.  "Don't ask, Cunshan, even if I'm sorry for Yixue." "What do you mean by forgetting? You have been sorry for my mother and son. You left her and her mother in a foreign country all the way. You spend your days and nights and make Yixue a widow all day. If I would give Yixue to you Wearing a green hat is not allowed!"

It was good that Shi Cunshan didn't mention the green hat, but when he mentioned the green hat, Ding Nengtong immediately became angry: "Shi Cunshan, I have worn the green hat a long time ago, and it is a foreign green hat. Are you satisfied now?"  After Shi Cunshan listened, he opened his eyes wide as if he couldn't believe his ears, "Could it be that Yixue will get out of the wall?" Shi Cunshan murmured.  Ding Nengtong took up the wine glass in pain and drank two consecutive glasses. Shi Cunshan relieved his breath, patted Ding Nengtong's hand lightly, and then took out a cigarette and handed Ding Nengtong a cigarette. The two lit each other and did not speak for a long time. 

"It works. Since the incident happened, I would like to open it. I heard that Luo Xiaomei is still pestering you. Let me remind you, this woman is in deep water, so be careful not to drown yourself!" Shi Cunshan took a deep puff of cigarette Say.  "Cunshan, you seem to know something?" Ding Nengtong asked alertly.  "Anyway, you have to be more careful, there is a knife on Die Zi's head, you are alone now, be careful not to fall into the well of tenderness and drown!" "Is it so serious?" "Just wait and see, sooner or later the fox's tail will be revealed!"

"Cunshan, let me also remind you that Lin Dake, the executive deputy mayor, and Zhendong He, the deputy mayor, both served as parents' officials in Huangxian County. If you don't have evidence, don't mess with suspects, or you might ruin your hard-earned future! "Ding Nengtong reminded calmly.  "It works, and I didn't scare it too much. I wasn't afraid when Xiao Honglin and Jia Chaoxuan were rampant back then. They fell into my hands anyway. Why? We are doing well!"  "Cunshan, let me remind you that Lin Dake and He Zhendong are two kinds of people, and they walk in different paths."

"I agree with this. Lin Dake's driver and Du Xinhai are comrades-in-arms. Mayor Lin's son is studying in a university in a neighboring province. Once, Mayor Lin went from Dongzhou to a neighboring province for a meeting. His son, who was on vacation at home, wanted to hitch a ride there. After school, I got into the car. As soon as Mayor Lin got on the car and saw his son sitting in the car, he mercilessly shooed the child out of the car. Her daughter-in-law is far away from work, and she doesn’t know how to ride a bicycle, so she crowds the public every day Car, Mayor Lin has never used a bus to send his wife to and from get off work."

The two were talking enthusiastically when Ding Nengtong's cell phone rang, and he answered the call only to realize that it was Gu Huaiyuan calling. Gu Huaiyuan told Ding Nengtong that Jin Ranran's novel publishing house was very optimistic and agreed to publish it. Ding Nengtong was very happy to hear it.  "Huaiyuan, I'm back in Dongzhou, and I'm having a drink with Shi Cunshan. Come here, I really want to hear what you, a great writer, have to say." "I saw you on TV, well, where are you?"  Ding Nengtong gave the address, and Gu Huaiyuan said he would be there in a while. 

"It can work. I admire Gu Huaiyuan. He can get out of the mud without getting dirty, and he can live without being in the officialdom. It's not easy. There are many officials in the officialdom. No, leaving the officialdom and letting him support himself, he is not even as good as a laid-off worker." "Cunshan, what you said is too extreme, Zheng Weiguo will be the general manager of Lin Juanjuan's Lin Group." "Zheng Weiguo served as Xiao Honglin's secretary. Although Xiao Honglin is corrupt, he is a capable person. If you, Ding Nengtong, serve as Xiao Honglin's secretary, you may not be so successful!"

Shi Cunshan is a person who hates evil like a vengeful, and he is used to beating and killing people all day long, and Ding Nengtong doesn't pick his reason.  "I can't compare with Huaiyuan. Huaiyuan is recognized as a great talent in the city government office. He not only writes well, but also has a political mind. If he didn't follow the wrong person, he must be a political star." While Ding Nengtong was talking, Gu Huaiyuan opened the door and walked in. Shi Cunshan said, "Tell Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Huaiyuan, here it is!"  Gu Huaiyuan walked over with a wave of his hand. 

"You two brothers are so elegant!" Gu Huaiyuan shook hands with Ding Nengtong and Shi Cunshan and said.  The three sat down again, and Ding Nengtong ordered food and drinks again.  "Huaiyuan, I didn't expect Ran Ran's novel to be published. I would like to thank you for Ran Ran and offer you a toast!" After the two drank it down, Shi Cunshan asked, "Who is Ran Ran if you can communicate?" "A friend who worked as a nanny at Secretary Zhou's house is now a graduate student at the National People's University." Ding Nengtong said lightly. 

"I can get through, but I still play sloppy with Cunshan. I think it's a confidante, why don't you care so much about her affairs?" Gu Huaiyuan's words pierced the window paper.  "Nothing, nothing!" Ding Nengtong blushed and quickly explained.  "Ding Nengtong, I figured it out, you kid is not honest at all in Beijing, no wonder your marriage has come to an end..." Shi Cunshan knew that he had slipped his tongue in front of Gu Huaiyuan, so he quickly changed the subject, "Huaiyuan, what masterpiece are you writing again?" "Recently, a new novel is in the pipeline." Gu Huaiyuan said deeply.  "What name?" Ding Nengtong asked with interest.  ""The Great Demolition"." "How did you come up with this topic?" Ding Nengtong asked puzzled.  "It was inspired by the Yaowangmiao community project. You may not know that since the municipal government intends to relocate the Yaowangmiao community, the people there have been outraged. Dongzhou News reported in the evening that the city government and the Hong Kong Yellow River Group have already I signed a contract on the project of developing the Yaowangmiao community, which means that this matter is a certainty. I am worried that the people who are about to lose their homes will riot. The novel "Great Demolition" specifically reveals the ups and downs, joys, sorrows and joys of ordinary people during the demolition process." Gu Huaiyuan said solemnly.  "I'm afraid the common people will not be happy or sweet about such a thing!" Shi Cunshan said with emotion.  "You guys, it's purely unfounded worry. The city government has reached an agreement with the Hong Kong Yellow River Group to develop the Yaowangmiao community this time, and the relocated households will be fully compensated according to the surrounding market price, so that they can afford houses nearby." Ding Nengtong laughed said with a smile.  "Nengtong, you have stayed in Beijing for too long. You are receiving people from the upper class all day long, and you don't understand the sufferings of the common people at all. Eighty percent of the houses are small houses, some of which are only 30 to 50 square meters, and now don’t say that there are no new buildings built in the city center that are less than 60 to 70 square meters. I can't afford a house nearby, not to mention that in Yaowangmiao community, except for 800 employees of "Qingjiang Daily", most of them are laid-off workers. Three or four thousand households live well in the city center. What are you doing for one? The bullshit project made people move to the suburbs, so how do you compensate for the soft environment that you can enjoy in the city center?" Gu Huaiyuan's tone was a little excited, as if Ding Nengtong was the decision maker.  "Gu Huaiyuan, you have only been away from the city hall for a few days, why do you feel like you have never been in the city hall!" Ding Nengtong teased.  "I think what Huaiyuan said makes sense. For example, your children go to the best school in the city center, and it takes only ten minutes to walk there. You have relocated them, and they can only buy a house in the suburbs. It takes more than an hour for their children to go to school. The old man had a heart attack and was rescued in ten minutes to the Municipal People's Hospital. He moved to the suburbs and took a taxi for half an hour. He died. If he was abroad, the compensation for this kind of soft environment would be higher than the compensation for the house itself. "Shi Cunshan said in an injustice.  "Overseas is the rule of law, and we haven't got rid of the shackles of the rule of man! Let's talk about Germany. The German Emperor Wilhelm I built a palace in Potsdam not far from Berlin. Once, when he climbed a height and overlooked the panorama of Potsdam, The line of sight was blocked by a mill next to the palace. William I was very disappointed, but he still loved his people after all. He wanted to solve it in a fair way, so he sent people to negotiate, hoping to buy the mill. Unexpectedly, the owner of the mill claimed that the mill was passed down from his ancestors, and he refused to move it no matter what. Faced with such a stubborn household, William "Longyan" was furious and sent someone to demolish the mill. He did not make any resistance during the demolition, and the next day, he sued the head of state with a petition. After the district court accepted the case, he ruled that William I lost the case. William I must "restore the original state" to compensate for the loss. Although William I As the king of a country, you have to obey the judgment when you get it. After several rulers, the mill, as a symbol of German judicial independence, still stands like a monument on German land. In contrast Let’s not talk about the houses of ordinary people, but how many cultural relics and historic sites have been demolished?” Gu Huaiyuan talked eloquently.  "Huaiyuan is knowledgeable. Over the years, we have promulgated many laws, but implementing them is even more difficult. How many people will sue for the overlord's demolition by developers?" Shi Cunshan said angrily.  "What about the development of Dongzhou? As a citizen of Dongzhou, shouldn't we contribute to the development of Dongzhou?" Ding Nengtong asked seriously.  "It works, thanks to the fact that you are still the director of the Beijing Office, the state repeatedly prohibits large-scale demolition and construction, we must put people first and pay attention to people's livelihood, don't you understand?" Gu Huaiyuan asked rhetorically.  "Yes, I think you should infiltrate Huaiyuan's point of view with Mayor Xia. After all, Mayor Xia has not been in Dongzhou for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the situation in Dongzhou." Shi Cunshan said casually.  "It can work. What's more, this project also involves Lin's Group. The general manager of Lin's Group is Zheng Weiguo, who has a strong sense of revenge. Lin Juanjuan has an ambiguous relationship with Fang Chenggao, the former secretary of Secretary Hong. I am worried that Zheng Weiguo will be involved in this project. It won't work well, don't you know Zheng Weiguo, an ambitious adventurer who dreams of being mayor and governor, now that his political ambitions have been shattered, he may use Lin Juanjuan's Lin Group to reach his ulterior motives Human purpose." Gu Huaiyuan said seriously.  "Huaiyuan, you're a bit alarmist. Is it that serious? Weiguo's ending was a bit tragic, but it's not that stupid!" Ding Nengtong said.  "Can you do something stupid, let's ride a donkey to read the libretto, we'll see!" Gu Huaiyuan said with a wry smile helplessly.  The three of them drank until midnight, and Gu Huaiyuan's words lingered in Ding Nengtong's ears for a long time. Driven by curiosity, he took a taxi and went straight to the Yaowangmiao community.  The late summer breeze blew through the car window, making Ding Nengtong drink up. When he was approaching the Yaowangmiao community, he couldn't bear it any longer. He asked the driver to stop the car. He held onto a tree and vomited heavily. After cleansing, his head was not so dizzy, but his stomach was empty. He threw ten yuan to the taxi driver, took out a toilet paper to wipe his mouth, and walked towards the Yaowangmiao community alone like a ghost.  It was already midnight, but from a long distance, he saw groups of three or four on the road, a group of seven or eight people, and a group of more than a dozen people discussing something. He walked into the Yaowangmiao community, and the crowd in gangs was even more Too much, the common people really can't sleep, they are worried about losing their homes.  Ding Nengtong joined the crowd, wanting to hear what happened, but he didn't discuss which group of people he joined. They all looked at him with strange eyes. Makes sense. 
