Steel Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 30: Meet Meixi Town Again

Meixi Bridge is a cement bridge built in the middle of 60 years. After nearly 30 years of ups and downs, the bridge deck is full of potholes, the exposed steel bars on the bridge piles are also rusted and mottled, the railings are incomplete, and the narrow bridge deck makes it difficult for two vehicles. Large trucks must be careful when they meet on the bridge…

The Meixi Bridge, which has been serving the people on both sides of the lower reaches of the Meixi River for nearly 30 years, seems a little overwhelmed at this time.

Shen Huai pushed his bicycle and stood on the Meixi Bridge.

The land on the west side of the bridge belongs to Tangzha District, and there is a spacious asphalt road funded by the municipal finance; on the east side of the bridge is Meixi Town, and the gravel road is dusty.

Relying on the convenient and cheap river transportation of the Meixi River, there are many river docks on both sides of the river from the bridge, and there are some sand and stone shops, timber shops and transportation stations.

It’s just that Qiaodong belongs to the area of Meixi Town. Since the hardware facilities and management have not kept up, from the east bank of the river to both sides of the gravel road, it looks messy, and domestic garbage can be seen everywhere.

No matter how far behind Meixi Town’s development is, no matter how messy it looks, every time he sets foot on this land, Shen Huai also feels cordial from his heart. The young girls who urinated reminded Shen Huai’s soul that he belonged to this land.

No matter how shabby and lagging she looks at this time, no matter how good, upright, evil, greedy, industrious, lazy, and progressive people live above her, he must love her.

“Secretary Shen!”

Shen Huai’s reverie was interrupted by a soft whisper, and turned to look. A bus was driving onto the bridge from the west end of the bridge, and it made a wrong turn. Chen Dan sat in the bus by the window and looked at him quite unexpectedly.

Although the Meixi River is no longer clear, the water is muddy and yellow, but every time Chen Dan crosses the bridge, he still likes to see the sparkling water. At this time, the setting sun was sloping, and the river was shining with golden light. When the bus got on the bridge, Chen Dan was staring at the wide river in the distance. Shen Huai was standing on the bridge with his bicycle in a daze, and suddenly broke into Her vision gave her the surprise of a sudden encounter. That coquettish cry came out almost subconsciously.

However, after thinking about the situation when Shen Huai was parked in front of that kind of shop that day, I thought that he was a greedy person, even if he didn’t have any crooked thoughts about himself, he should stay away from him again. Regret to say hello to him out loud.

How could Shen Huai know the careful thoughts that Chen Dan was thinking, seeing that kind and penetrating fair face, as well as the bright dodging eyes, made his heart flutter slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched. With a responsive and clear smile, he stepped into the car, followed behind the bus, and headed for Meixi Town.

Shen Huai went to Meixi Town to see Xiao Li several times before, but they were far away and did not dare to disturb the peace of their lives, so Chen Dan had never seen Shen Huai in Meixi Town before.

Chen Dan turned his head and pressed his face against the window glass, watching Shen Huai ride a broken bicycle and follow him into Meixi Town. She didn’t know that Shen Huai was going to work in Meixi Town, and she didn’t know about the accidental death of Vice Mayor Chen Mingde. These things were always far away from her. When she saw Shen Huai riding a broken bicycle to Meixi Town, what would happen? Can you make her feel weird?

At the same time, Chen Dan felt that his smile just now was extraordinarily cordial, as if old friends who had not seen each other for a long time met and smiled. It was so natural and unforgettable; how could he feel this way?

Chen Dan had the intention to ignore Shen Huai, but when he thought of the help of others and ignored him, he was a little too unreasonable. Seeing the bus entering the station, he got off and waited for Shen Huai to come over, wanting to say hello .

Chen Dan was wearing tight jeans under a rose red thin woolen coat, her legs looked slender and straight, standing on the platform with a standing figure, she simply tied her crow-colored hair behind her shoulders, and in the gradually sinking sunset light. Under the light, there was an indescribable softness on her fair face, which made her have the temperament of an unusually beautiful woman.

Shen Huai saw Chen Dan standing on the bus stop from a distance, but a truck behind him honked impatiently, so he rushed to the bus stop before letting the truck pass.

At this time, he was almost next to Chen Dan, and when he looked up, he saw her eyelashes, trembling slightly in the sunset light, long and dense, and the shadows falling down made her eyes extraordinarily deep and deep for a while. Huai looked a little lost.

Shen Huai lost his mind for a moment, causing Chen Dan to feel a little uncontrollable pride and disappointment. He put the bag in front of him, and asked softly in embarrassment, “Why did Secretary Shen come to Meixi Town?”

“Oh, I’m bored in the afternoon. I wandered around on a bicycle, and I crossed the bridge without realizing it.” Shen Huai tried to cover up a nonsense reason and asked again, “Do you live near here?”

“I have to go all the way, but it’s not too far, just turn around in front. When I saw Secretary Shen, I thought of Haiwen’s compensation, and I haven’t thanked Secretary Shen well…” Pulling off the topic, Chen Dan fell down and got up.

“Really?” Shen Huai could probably understand Chen Dan’s complicated feelings that he didn’t want to be rude and didn’t want to get too close, so he just smiled at Chen Dan’s lie and said, “I have to go to town, then Don’t delay…”

“Secretary Shen is well, I have to say thank you again for the Haiwen matter. I happen to have something to do today, and I will invite Secretary Shen to my house another day.” Chen Dan smiled sweetly, thinking that he would send Shen Huai away, and bowed his body slightly Watch him ride away.

Shen Huai is also self-aware. Chen Dan is from Hetang, Linzhen. She married to Meixi. She also works in the town guest house. There are many people who know her in the town. If she walks side by side with a ‘strange” man on the street, and then invites her to her house as a guest, she doesn’t know what rumors will spread the next day.

Shen Huai rode forward for a while, stopped at the entrance of a hardware store, and saw that Chen Dan really turned south into a small fork.

Shen Huai was so familiar with Meixi Town that he could walk around with his eyes closed. He knew that the small fork that Chen Dan was walking on could turn into the old street of Meixi Town, cross the town from the old street, and go to the east end of the town.

Shen Huai was not angry that Chen Dan lied to him, but just thought it was a little funny, thinking that since she was so defensive, why did she get off the bus early to go two more stops? Now avoid going on the same road as yourself, and go around the old street.

Shen Huai was originally going to turn to the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant in the south, but now he was afraid that he would be embarrassed by meeting Chen Dan in the old street, so he turned north at the cross street in the center of the town, pushing his bicycle in the sunset, while walking. Voila.

As a native of Meixi, Shen Huai is familiar with every plant and tree in the town; at this time, when he walked into Meixi Town again, perhaps his vision or perspective of observation had changed. The people and things are clearly presented in front of you one by one.

Going north all the way to the health center, thinking that Chen Dan should have gone back, and would not be embarrassed by bumping into people in the town, Shen Huai turned back and headed south. Passing through the old street, to the head of Zhennan is the Meixi Iron and Steel Factory. It used to be the leading collective enterprise in the subordinate towns of Donghua City. In recent years, just like the city steel mill, it has declined rapidly, and the situation is even worse than that of the city steel mill.

Just before he reached the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, Shen Huai saw a large group of people surrounding the intersection of Xuetang Street and Old Street from a distance, vaguely watching someone pushing and fighting inside.

Shen Huai walked over to join in the fun, and saw three or five strong men pushing a young man with a shaved head to the ground. Chen Dan squeezed desperately in, trying to protect the young man who fell to the ground. He asked others to punch and kick him, and shouted: “If you want to be fined, you will be fined, and you can confiscate the things. How can you beat people?”

There were scattered pieces of merchandise on the curbs, and sheets of plastic sheeting rolled into a ball.

Shen Huai was all too familiar with the situation in Meixi. The situation in front of him must be that the town joint defense team violently cleaned up the roadside stalls. It may be that the young man hit the muzzle of the gun and was cleaned up by the joint defense team on the street.

Although Chen Dan wanted to squeeze in to protect the young man, he was too weak to push him out. He sat on the ground with his buttocks full, and couldn’t struggle for a long time. The young man who was beaten on the ground saw that Chen Dan was being bullied, he stood up with a roar, hugged the man who pushed Chen Dan, and fell to the ground. The man punched his fist.

At this time, Shen Huai discovered that the young man was actually Chen Dan’s younger brother Chen Tong, who had been in the army for many years: Is this kid coming back from the army? Retirees should have employment, why set up stalls on the side of the road and conflict with the people on the town defense team?

“Stop!” Shen Huai squeezed in, and saw that someone took out a short stick and was going to slap Chen Tong’s head, grabbed it, pulled it out, and asked, “What are you doing? Beat people to death, beat them to death. Dead people, who can afford it?”

“Who is your mother, Meixi Lun got your chicken rake to meddle in business?” The person who grabbed the short stick for Shen Huai saw that his companion pressed Chen Tong to beat him, and his eyes were red. The man stood up to take care of himself, and grabbed Shen Huai’s collar with his free hand, his eyes widened, and he could not wait to punch him in the face the next moment.

“This is my work permit. I don’t want to care about your business, but you are so ruthless that you will kill people. Who of you can take the responsibility?” When the time comes, take the work card in your hand and shine it in front of the person’s fist in time.

The man was stunned for a moment, and took Shen Huai’s work permit.

“Who is your mother?” There was a short young man in the crowd, who was obviously in charge. When he saw the nosy people stand up, he first ordered the joint defense team to pull Chen Tong away and push him to the ground, and save his own people first. When he came out, he walked over with his hands in his pockets and squinted at Shen Huai, “The joint defense team enforces the law and rectifies the city. This kid knows the law and breaks the law. Even if we beat him to death, it’s also our self-defense. Who are you, dare to take charge of Meixi’s site?”

Shen Huai recognized this person, called Wang Gang, who was a gangster in the town when he was a child. Because his face was short and small, he looked like a cat, and his complexion was yellow all year round. He was nicknamed “Yellow-faced Cat”. His mother is a woman and a cadre in the town. For some reason, she got into bed with Du Jian, the secretary of the town party committee, a few years ago. From then on, Wang Gang put on a grass-green security uniform and became the deputy captain of the town’s joint defense team, and even more and more he became the little overlord of Meixi Town.

From the hands of his subordinates, Wang Gang grabbed Shen Huai’s work card and threw it under his feet. He stood in the crowd just now and saw Shen Huai pushing his bicycle over, but he didn’t look down on this little white face in his heart, and said sternly: ” What the **** are you, dare to come to Meixi Town to be the boss?”

“Who are you asking me?” Shen Huai smiled, “I’m no one, I just passed by this way. But if you kill people, I’m afraid it’s not easy to explain?”

“It’s none of your business, today you’ll be able to lift it up, or else you’ll be caught,” Wang Gang glared at the piercing head in front of him, turning back to point at Chen Tong, who had been pinned to the ground, and instructed his team members, “Tie him up, take him to the team, lock him up for two days, clean up and see if he can learn to be honest…”
