Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 143 Comrade Lao Cao is enjoying it

The motorcycle rumbled closer and closer, and finally stopped in the yard.

Zhang Youguang, who was idling in the police station, immediately stood up and took a look outside.

Sure enough, it was Cao Weiguo who came.

It was only about seven forty, and he was the third person to arrive at the police station.

Zhang Youguang went out with a cup of tea in his hand and stood in the corridor watching Cao Weiguo get off the car. His injured leg was not as flexible as a normal person's. "Old Cao, don't ride a motorcycle! It would be better to buy a small car!"

After a pause, he added with a smile, "Your family doesn't need that money right now."

Cao Weiguo came over with a smile and said, "He wanted to buy me a small car, but I said I didn't want it because I couldn't drive it. It's not appropriate for me, a policeman at a police station, to drive a small car."

When he said this, his expression was indifferent. However, Zhang Youguang was a careful observer and a thoughtful person, so he could still see some unnaturalness in Comrade Lao Cao's indifference.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Tsk... so pretentious...

But today was different from the past. No matter how mean he was, he didn't dare to mock. He just continued to show his skills and continued to praise, "What's inappropriate about that? My son bought it for me, who can say anything?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Cao laughed again and stopped talking.

Of course no one can say anything!
The village secretary and the head used to call each other "Lao Cao", but now they all call each other "Brother Lao Cao". In the past, I would offer cigarettes to them on my own initiative, and they would not necessarily accept them. But now, whenever they meet, they will definitely offer cigarettes to me on their own initiative. If I refuse, then ten out of ten times they will say, "Okay, you are not used to my cigarettes, so I should give you a cigarette! Come on, have one!"

You see, when they ask me for cigarettes, I have to say "free".

Just a few days ago, Secretary Zheng from the county came to inspect the work and asked about me specifically. When I rushed over, Secretary Zheng shook hands with me cordially. At lunch, I, a deputy director of a small police station, actually sat at the main table - this is a treatment that even a deputy township head doesn't even have!

What's more, Zhao Xiaolan, the director of the county government office who came with her, actually called her "uncle" directly. This was really unthinkable - her father was a deputy district chief before he retired. When she just came back from the military, she worked at the police station in her father's township. Her father was already the township secretary at that time. She was considered a soldier of that old man, and her age was also there. She should call her father uncle and be her equal!
But she actually gave herself a promotion!
He is the leader of the county, not to mention the chief steward of the county government, and the most important thing is that he is a member of the Council of Elders! I am only about ten years older than her, but she calls me uncle, which means a lot of respect!

In short, with my current status and treatment, and the indescribable respect I would have never dared to think about in the past... To be honest, if my son wants to buy me a car, what's wrong with me driving it myself?
It’s true that no one would dare to fart!
However, Cao Weiguo thought about this matter carefully - it cannot be opened!

The bad influence is secondary. The main thing is that if these guys in the institute drive their own cars, what will happen? You will borrow from them today and they will borrow from you tomorrow. How will it end?
No, it can’t be opened.

The son said he wanted to buy him a car, saying that the factory was going to make a large purchase recently, mainly a batch of cars, and he wanted to buy himself a big jeep that could run on mountain roads and go off-road. Lao Cao thought about it and refused!
Just ride a motorcycle!

If it rains heavily one day and the road is bad, I can just call him and ask him to come back to pick me up - how great that would be, saving me the trouble of driving, and I can also have an excuse to call him home for a meal or something.

Otherwise, this brat wouldn’t know to go home for ten days or half a month!
"Your A Kun is really powerful now! I heard that many people in the county are cursing him after he fired this cannon! Hey... Hey, Lao Cao, why haven't you seen A Kun come over these few days? I heard that he wants to form a partnership with the Song family to open a food factory? Or an instant noodle factory?"

As he was talking, Cao Weiguo had already walked into the office. Two young men from the institute came to greet him. He responded to both of them. One of them came up to him with a grin and asked for a cigarette. Cao Weiguo smiled and opened his hand. After putting down his briefcase, he took out a cigarette and gave it to him. He then walked around the room and lit one for himself. Then he said, "I don't know. I don't understand. I won't ask. Let him do what he wants."

"Hey, you are really an old immortal!"

The young man in the institute said, "That's right! Director Cao will have endless happiness for the rest of his life!"

Cao Weiguo chuckled but still said nothing.

There has actually been quite a bit of turmoil recently. Because of his sudden firing, the county was in turmoil. He heard some discussions. Everyone said that it was Cao Yukun who wanted to take over the sock factory, but Zhang Fengxian and Feng Yanghao and their gang wanted to take it themselves, so Cao Yukun just fired the firecrackers to kill them!

Many people in the county were frightened. Of course, now it seems that the county acted quickly and was undoubtedly on the side of his son, so no matter how fierce the investigation was, no one dared to fart!
This is different from simply having money.

Simply because you are rich, everyone respects you a little and usually gives in to you a little, but that's the limit. Village leaders just hope that you will talk to them more when you go home and ask your son to come to our village to open a factory!

But now, it’s not just about being rich!

Everyone was talking about it privately, saying that A Kun was now rich enough and had a say with the main leaders of the county. Some people also heard from somewhere that A Kun did not need to report or ask for permission in advance to visit the offices of several senior leaders in the county, and that if he wanted to meet them, he could just push the door and walk in - we didn't know whether it was true or not, and we didn't ask that brat, to prevent him from being too proud!

But in this case, you have to admit that everyone looks at you with a little more awe!

This is the guy who can knock down the director of the county bureau with just a few attacks!

Of course, the more this happened, the more Comrade Lao Cao thought about it, and the more he decided that he should be more low-key in the future. No matter how others praised him, he must never take the initiative to brag - just let them praise him and enjoy it!
Anyway, whether I speak or not, it won’t stop them from saying good things.

"That's right! Speaking of Mr. Cao, he is definitely the richest man in our county now! I heard from my friends that it is rumored that the county is discussing with the county about investing money in our county, Mi Dao!"

At this time, seeing that Old Cao still refused to speak, Zhang Youguang did not get discouraged and continued to praise him. However, after one sentence of praise, he could not help but come back and try to tease Cao Weiguo, "I heard that the instant noodle factory needs to invest tens of millions! Hey, Old Cao, is your Boss Cao going to marry the daughter of Song Hongxing or the daughter of Xie Zhaofang?"

After a pause, seeing that Lao Cao's face had changed and seemed to be a little dark, he continued to stimulate, "I heard that he is now dating the girl from the Xie family. Many times, everyone saw him driving his big Mercedes to send the girl from the Xie family to work at the county government... But didn't you say that you wanted to marry Song Hongxing?"

Speaking of this, Comrade Lao Cao was indeed a little irritated.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled awkwardly, "I don't understand young people's affairs, let that brat do whatever he wants! He can date whoever he wants, anyway, he just needs to give birth to a baby in two years!"

Zhang Youguang pursed his lips when he heard that...his attempt to stimulate him failed again.

But there is no other way, they have to continue to praise and stimulate - the county is now investigating the case of the sock factory, and the turmoil is quite big. No one can tell whether Cao Yukun wants to buy the sock factory or to invest in an instant noodle factory in partnership with the Song family. Anyway, everyone has his own say and everyone is right. But no matter which one he chooses, Zhang Youguang suddenly sees hope!
It’s not a big deal that this kid has captured Zhang Fengxian and Feng Yanghao. The key is that now Han Shidong has also been captured. Now, the tight curse on his head is removed at once!
If that guy is willing to hire me, I can go back to the sock factory...

These days, there are so many people quitting their jobs to start their own businesses. I had been hesitant at first, but I was always thinking about the sock factory and wanted to make my way up from there!
However, as soon as I heard the news, I took the initiative to call that guy, but I didn't get the slightest bit of goodwill from him. He actually told me to "get out"!
It’s really... infuriating!
I want to give up, but I can't bear to do it!
Damn, the situation in the county is in turmoil right now, and I don’t know what that guy is doing. In short, I can hardly get any news from him later, which makes people feel uneasy...

He had no choice but to flatter his father!
That day, when he took the initiative to come to my room to get my words, who knew that he would have the power to bring down Han Shidong later! If I had known earlier, I would have approached him directly at that time!

As a result, I actually offended him that day!
He is still a young boy, happy and angry at the same time, depending on his temper, ah...

…………

While they were still talking, the police officers from the station arrived one after another.

Suddenly, the village jeep stopped in front of the police station. The secretary got out of the car and ran straight to the police station. When he walked to the corridor, he saw Cao Weiguo. As he walked in, he stretched out his hand and called out, "Brother Cao, I just received a notice that something happened this morning. Don't go out on duty! Wait in the station, or you can go to my office for some tea! The police have been called out! It's a big deal!"

Although Cao Weiguo stood up, he just agreed stupidly. Zhang Youguang was smart and asked with a smile, "What's the big deal?"

The secretary chuckled, "Our General Manager Cao and General Manager Song Hongxing are coming to the village today to look at places and build a factory! Secretary Zheng is coming here in person to accompany them, Brother Cao, you have to be here!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Youguang's heart suddenly warmed up.
