  Chapter 41 The Old Fox and the Little Hunter

   Under the guidance of a government employee, Chen Jiakang walked towards the guest house in a personable manner.

   From time to time, he also used that weird Hong Kong-style Mandarin to exchange a few words with the leaders of Bishui County who accompanied him, or laughed a few times.

  Following Chen Jiakang was a tall, young and beautiful female secretary, wearing a short skirt with hips that is rarely seen in the mainland, and her high heels were so high that they rattled when they stepped on the stone road.

   It provoked the accompanying staff, who wanted to see it but felt embarrassed, worried about being impolite, but felt itchy in their hearts, and couldn't help but want to see it.

  Chen Jiakang stepped into the restaurant, and an enthusiastic voice came from the front of him: "Wow, Hou Gouleng root bean paste!"

  The leaders of Bishui County who accompanied them were all taken aback: Could it be that another Hong Kong businessman came?

  Even Chen Jiakang was blindfolded, and when he saw the open arms on the opposite side, he gave him a warm hug first, and greeted him in Cantonese.

   Zheng Hongqi was the most shocked, because he recognized that the other party was the boy who left a deep impression on him: Liu Qingshan!

  Hearing the proficient Cantonese spoken by the young man, Zheng Hongqi was overjoyed: Isn't this the translation delivered to your door?

  Language barrier is the biggest problem when dealing with Hong Kong businessmen and foreign businessmen. Many things are inconvenient to communicate. It’s like a chicken talking to a duck.

  That’s right, Zheng Hongqi already regards Liu Qingshan as one of his own.

   This is not because of forming gangs, but because Liu Qingshan is from Bishui County. In this era, nostalgia is the most important.

  If someone in his hometown is developed, he will definitely take care of the folks more or less.

  Seeing that Liu Qingshan was chatting enthusiastically with Hong Kong businessmen, Zheng Hongqi quietly called on the secretary and the county magistrate, signaling that he had something to say.

  The secretary's surname is Gao, in his fifties, he has worked from the grassroots level and is practical and capable; the county magistrate, surnamed Wang, is also a local cadre in Bishui.

  These two were blindfolded, and a Cheng Yaojin came out of nowhere, and Zheng Hongqi whispered to them: "That young man is from our place, and it will be much more convenient to communicate now."

  Secretary Gao's dark face seemed to be a little darker: "We from Bishui County, how can we speak the language of Hong Kong Island?"

   "It is indeed from our county. They can not only speak Cantonese, but also English. It is the Liu Qingshan who was published in the newspaper last time."

   Zheng Hongqi continued to introduce in a low voice, even, he felt that his face was bright.

  The county magistrate next to him uttered an ooh: "Good thing, good thing, we were a little uneasy at first, but now we have our own people, so we feel more at ease."

   As a result, Secretary Gao gave him a cross-eyed look: "There is nothing to worry about. The Hong Kong businessmen can still cheat us so much. If we take out this little money, they will not look down on them at all."

   County Magistrate Wang and Zheng Hongqi could only smile sarcastically, and then saw Liu Qingshan who had finished greeting the Hong Kong businessman, walking towards them:

   "Hi, leaders, I came here uninvited and became an uninvited guest. Please criticize me."

  As soon as he heard his accent, he was familiar and friendly. Secretary Gao immediately waved his big rough hand with a smile: "What are you criticizing? You can take the initiative to contribute to the county, and you can't praise it enough."

   While speaking, he also patted Liu Qingshan's small shoulders a few times with his palm after waving, well, it's quite solid.

   "Thank you for your trust."

  Liu Qingshan responded, and then Zheng Hongqi introduced: "Qingshan, this is our secretary Gao, and this is our county magistrate Wang."

  After Liu Qingshan said hello to each other, the county magistrate Wang said softly: "Comrade Liu, just accompany Mr. Chen to dinner. Remember, you must accompany the Hong Kong businessman."

  Secretary Gao also added: "Yes, when Hong Kong businessmen come to us, it is equivalent to a visitor (qiě) from our own home. They must eat and drink well."

   Soon, everyone was seated at a big round table, Chen Jiakang was naturally given the main seat, his secretary was on the left, and the new guest Liu Qingshan was on the right.

  Other leaders sit in order according to their positions. There is no need to arrange this at all, and they know which seat they should sit in.

  Liu Qingshan didn't see any outsiders at all. He talked happily with Chen Jiakang, and explained a few words to the leaders present here from time to time, taking care of him very comprehensively.

  The leaders of Bishui County who were present were also amazed: This young man, if they didn't know the basics, knew that he was a farmer;

  The trousers are still patched, don’t call it a joke for the Hong Kong businessmen, and get a uniform later, after all, it represents the face of our county.

   Soon, the dishes were served on the table, Liu Qingshan took a look, good guy, the table is full of delicacies, today is considered a blessing.

  It seems that the county has also put their heart into it, knowing that this Hong Kong businessman wants to invest in the mountain products business, so they bought all the mountain treasures they could.

   It was Moutai who poured the wine. This time, Liu Qingshan still had nothing to do but look at it greedily. He was treated the same as the female secretary, drinking only the mountain wine produced by the winery in the county.

  Secretary Gao was in a good mood, introducing dishes from time to time, and Liu Qingshan was in charge of relaying to Chen Jiakang:

   "Mr. Chen, this is the lip that is produced in the mountains. The lip is the big lip of the moose. It is a rare delicacy because it eats grass all the year round."

  Well, in fact, the truth is similar to that of a pig.

"And this is roe deer meat, which is what we call silly roe deer locally. This kind of animal is very curious and wants to study everything. For example, if you hold a shotgun, the silly roe deer will think about it. If you hold a fire Stick, gesture something at me, and then bang, the gun goes off."

  Hearing Liu Qingshan's funny words, the female secretary giggled: "This silly roe deer is really interesting."

  Liu Qingshan also laughed along, but his heart was full of contempt: You came to our Bishui County, didn't you treat us like fools to fool you?

  It's a pity that you have miscalculated, and the stupid roe deer will get kicked if they are in a hurry.

   When a large plate of bear's paws was served, even Liu Qingshan was stunned. In other words, he really had never eaten this stuff.

   In a few years, the Wildlife Protection Law will be promulgated, and it will be difficult to eat this food.

   Then why not be polite, try it.

  Picked a trembling bear paw, full of soup inside, put it in the mouth, soft and rotten, but still very firm, with a mellow honey fragrance, much more delicious than eating pig's claws.

  The chef who delivered the food introduced the cooking method of bear paw, which is very complicated.

  Liu Qingshan suddenly realized: Don't talk about bear's paws, even if you get a few big pig's feet and cook them in the same way, the taste will definitely not be bad.

  That Chen Jiakang was also full of praise: "It's really a good thing. If it is shipped to Hong Kong Island, it will definitely sell for a good price."

   "Yes, yes, yes, wish us a happy cooperation."

   County Magistrate Wang also took the opportunity to toast with a wine glass.

  Secretary Gao was more impatient: "If there is no problem, we will sign the contract this afternoon. Don't worry, Mr. Chen, our Gada's mountain products used to be specially paid tribute to the palace, and the quality is not to mention."

  Chen Jiakang was also worried about nights and dreams, and hoped to sign the contract quickly. If the other party sent the money, he would run away.

   Originally, I wanted to stay here for a few more days, but unexpectedly a half-child who can speak Cantonese came. Who knows if there will be any changes in the future?

  Although he was anxious, he couldn't show it on the surface. Chen Jiakang wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin: "No hurry, no hurry, let's wait for my lawyer team to come over."

  Secretary Gao waved his big hand: "Why is it so troublesome, let's make a deal, and then sign and it's over."

  Chen Jiakang reluctantly agreed, and the atmosphere at the wine table became even more enthusiastic.

  Liu Qingshan had to translate back and forth for them, and put food into his mouth at the same time, he was too busy.

   When he was almost finished eating, he took a sip of the wine. Not to mention, the wine made from wild mountain grapes tastes no worse than those foreign wines, the main reason is that it is not well-known.

Chen Jiakang also drank a lot of wine and began to run the train with his mouth full. In short, he just wanted to show off how prominent he is on Hong Kong Island. He is the Governor's guest. He played golf with Mr. Huo and Mr. Li every day. The star went to his mansion to open a party ladder or something.

  Hearing the **** in his eyes, their eyes straightened.

  Liu Qingshan looked on coldly, only thought it was funny, so he said something to Chen Jiakang in English suddenly.

Chen Jiakang was taken aback for a moment, and the female secretary next to him hurriedly whispered a few words in his ear, and this guy said haha: "I'm sorry, I'm happy today, I drank a little too much, I didn't hear Liu clearly. Sir speaks English."

After covering up a few words, he put on a righteous and strict posture: "You asked me what my English name is, and to tell you the truth, although I was born on Hong Kong Island, I am very patriotic and I am determined not to take an English name. !"

it is good!

  The leaders headed by Secretary Gao all clapped their hands. This is definitely not flattery, but respect from the heart.

  But Liu Qingshan will not let him go easily, and he no longer speaks English, but said in Hong Kong-style Mandarin that everyone can understand: "Mr. Chen, is Mr. Xia Dingji, the Governor, in good health?"

  Chen Jiakang did not doubt that he was there, and nodded with a red face: "Very good, very good, Mr. Governor is very hospitable, and we often taste delicious brandy together."

  Under the table, the female secretary stomped on Chen Jiakang with her heel in a subtle manner. The guy immediately picked up the wine glass and used drinking to cover up, thinking: Did I say the wrong thing again?

  Actually, he is just a Cantonese, and he has little knowledge of the situation on Hong Kong Island.

  The female secretary is from Hong Kong Island, and she is also the hidden leader of their duo.

  She first smiled charmingly, and then said: "Chairman Chen had a very happy drink today, and his words were a bit sloppy."

   "Mr. Xia Dingji only served as the acting governor for a few days last May. The current governor is Sir Youde, and we often attend the receptions organized by him."

  Chen Jiakang realized where he was showing his timidity, looked through the lens, glanced at Liu Qingshan, and cursed in his heart: You are a dead servant.

   For a while, there was a slight silence at the wine table, and even Secretary Gao felt that this Hong Kong businessman was too bragging.

  The county magistrate Wang became suspicious, and asked Liu Qingshan: "Xiao Liu, what is the term for acting governor?"

  Even if he didn’t ask, Liu Qingshan would still have to explain: “It’s the temporary agent selected during the short period when the original governor resigned and the new governor hasn’t taken office yet.”

Understood.

  Magistrate Wang nodded, looking at the Hong Kong businessman with a different look from before.

  Liu Qingshan continued to chat with Hong Kong businessmen calmly: "Mr. Chen, you like to invite those actresses to your parties. Is your villa also in the Pingdingshan area?"

   "Of course, my villa is in Pingdingshan, and I'm the neighbor of Mr. Li."

  Chen Jiakang climbed up the pole, but he didn't know that this was Liu Qingshan setting him up again.

  This time, even Secretary Gao could tell something was wrong: "What is Pingdingshan?

   "It's Mount Taiping, Mount Taiping."

  The female secretary hurriedly covered up, and stepped on her heel again.

  That Chen Jiakang didn't know whether it was pain or anxiety, his forehead slapped, cold sweat broke out, and he woke up from the wine he drank just now.

  He glared at Liu Qingshan's youthful face, and felt that the other party was like an old hunter, setting traps for this old fox everywhere, but he fell into it again and again.

  Liu Qingshan also showed a look of sudden realization, and exaggeratedly slapped himself on the forehead: "Oh, I made a mistake, I made a mistake, I recorded Taiping Mountain as Pingdingshan, and I will punish myself with a cup."

  Chen Jiakang's heart was about to smoke, his teeth were itching: Are you still emphasizing that this is interesting!

   Several leaders in the county also seemed to be aware of something, and inadvertently communicated with each other with their eyes. The originally lively dinner party suddenly became deserted.

   Seeing that the heat was about the same, Liu Qingshan smiled and confessed that he had to go to the bathroom.

  Just strolling to the bathroom, Zheng Hongqi immediately followed behind him. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate Wang also followed.

  The three of them should go to the toilet, and those who should wash their hands. County Magistrate Wang asked Liu Qingshan seemingly unintentionally: "Little Comrade Liu, what do you think of this Mr. Chen?"

  Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "It seems that I, a farmer in Bishui County, are more familiar with Hong Kong Island than he is. I really don't know, who is the Hong Kong businessman?"

   Zheng Hongqi was more direct: "Qingshan, do you suspect that Hong Kong companies have problems?"

  Liu Qingshan was still smiling, and blinked at him: "Mayor Zheng, you are the one who suspected it, okay? I'm just a temporary guest translator."

   "Little translator, I think you look like a seasoned old hunter."

  Zheng Hongqi grumbled, then exchanged glances with County Mayor Wang, and the two nodded in tacit understanding. It seemed that some kind of decision had been made in their hearts.
