Chapter 53: Empty city

Director Jiang first asked the driver to drive to Wang to return to the nearby government office before driving to take them to dinner.
Zhang Siyi used to eat the food of a retail chain in Haicheng, and his mouth was rather awkward. This kind of Tujia and farmhouse dishes were the most appetizing for him. The sand tea that Gu Yu asked him to eat last time is also a thing that can make him remember.
Director Jiang took them to the restaurant and ordered a table of dishes, in addition to the few dishes he had previously reported, as well as the famous casserole head and white shell shrimp.
A bowl of steaming fish soup, the tiredness of Zhang Siyi and Lu Qiao swept away, I feel that this is all worth it.
During the meeting, Director Jiang chatted with them for a while. Unlike Wang’s official speech, this director was very intimate. He asked them where the two were, and the architectural design industry was busy. When did you start your annual leave...
Zhang Siyi and Lu Qiao stayed with him for a while, and they all had a good impression on him.
After eating, Director Jiang drove them to take a turn around the city. On the road, he introduced some local customs and cultures. He also pointed to the road sections when the car passed by to tell them which plots were newly developed and what to do. The current situation, Zhang Siyi passed the paper pen and recorded it.
C city is not big, the central city is less than an hour to drive around, then Director Jiang asked them what plans they have next, do not send them to the bus station.
Zhang Siyi just sat in the car and saw a few commercials in the relatively busy business district. He suddenly remembered that when Gu Yu took him to live in the old city of Z City and went to the night market together at night, he said to Director Jiang: "Time is still Early, or else we will go shopping again, Director Jiang, you are busy with you, we know the location of the station, and then take a taxi to the station."
Director Jiang only when they were young and playful, they nodded and said: "Alright, then you go shopping yourself. Anyway, Xiao Zhang has my phone number. I have any questions despite contacting me."
Zhang Siyi and Lu Qiao thanked him for his hospitality, said goodbye and got off the train.
I saw Zhang Siyi's relatively mature side of dealing with others. Lu Qiaogang did not easily question the other party's decision in the car. After getting off the bus, he asked: "Isn't the base finished, what else to visit?"
Zhang Siyi: "Since all come, let's go shopping. Let's do a good job in this place's landmark government office building. It's not a city. It might be inspirational and rewarding."
Lu Qiao understood, nodded with approval, and said: "You are really good enough. I am going to have a New Year. I want to do whatever I want. I have to change it and wait until the end of the year. You are moving up... haha, let's go."
Zhang Siyi sneered a little and used his dad to count his words and said: "I am three minutes of heat, the first project, it is inevitable to be serious."
Lu Qiao bowed and followed him for a while, and suddenly asked: "Four, your home is dry?"
Zhang Siyi stunned, remembering his father's jealousy, smirking and pretending to be stupid: "How come this suddenly? My parents are ordinary office workers."
Lu Qiao grinned, an unbelievable look: "Ordinary office workers can go to the UK to study abroad? Can rent a 12,000 second-class apartment for the first year? Can you buy a cup of coffee for thirty or forty dollars?... Well, you can say that many ordinary people can do it now, but I just listened to what kind of director Wang Secretary and Secretary Jiang said. To be honest, if you are not here today, I am sure I’m going to die, I don’t know how to say that kind of official.

Zhang Siyi is also a bit strange, he said that he was so surprised to Lu Qiao? Also - "What is the big official? The director of the planning bureau in the city is a departmental level. It is estimated that the director of the king is still a deputy. The general bureau rarely comes out to see us like this." Not to be afraid, he is just an office. Do you think others are not very good at talking."
He had comforted Lu Qiao casually, but when he finished speaking, he saw Lu Qiao’s eyes widened.
When Zhang Siyi thought about it, he realized that he
understood
a bit more. He smacked his mouth and quickly replied:
Hey, anyway, the officials are serving the people. You treat him as an ordinary person. Of course, you are a junior, and you can respect a little bit in your tone."
Lu Qiao looked at Zhang Siyi for two seconds, his eyes turned, suddenly approached him, hooked the other's shoulder, covered his mouth with his palm and mysteriously said: "You tell me, I promise not to go out!"
"..." Zhang Siyi shrank his neck. "It's really not a big man, it's a civil servant, um, civil servant."
Seeing Zhang Siyi’s slumbering words, Lu Qiao’s hands were even harder. He was short, and it was difficult to get stuck in Zhang Siyi’s neck. He squinted and said:
You should not be a Prince. Was it put down to the folks to exercise?"
Zhang Siyi sweats his forehead, although he is indeed being pulled out to exercise, but Lu Qiao's description seems to be a bit too much!
When Lu Qiao saw that he did not answer, he guessed himself from the ground: "Is your dad the mayor? Or the governor? Is it even more powerful?"
Zhang Siyi was afraid that the more he said the more outrageous, and quickly grabbed his mouth: "No, don't say it!"
Lu Qiao is a very curious person. His appetite has been hoisted. I don’t know if the answer is more uncomfortable than killing him. He can’t help but say:
Then it’s awkward, I’m begging you~~ Tell me soon. Let's go!"
Zhang Siyi: "..."
Zhang Siyi was helpless to Lu Qiao, who was not so fucked, and whispered: "Then you swear everyone will not say."
Lu Qiao raised the hand: "I don't say it! I swear by our revolutionary friendship. If I say that the drawing is halfway, the printer is not inked! P picture p to half of the machine room power failure! cAD did not save the computer crash! I will be in my In the journey of life, I am out of the orbit, completely out of contact with the headquarters, lost in the dark space until the energy is exhausted..."
"I have done it," Zhang Siyi sighed and said quickly. "My dad is the director of the construction department of Z."
"Oh!!!!" Lu Qiao looked at the "I know so" expression, looked up and down Zhang Siyi, and went over, curiously asked: "The construction hall is dry? Is it big? ?"
Zhang Siyi: "..." ( ̄ ̄ ̄)
Zhang Siyi gave Lu Qiaopu a little bit of official position at various levels, and returned to the topic. He said, "My dad said, the kind of people who treat them, the more you are not humble, the more generous, the more they will take you back. Things, maybe they still think that you have something to come to.... Conversely, the lower the lower the fourth, the flattering, the aunts will flatter, maybe they will look down on you, watch the dishes, or use your restrained awe and flattering feelings to make you ruin you. ""
Lu Qiao seems to understand and understand, but this "not humble, down and generous" is easier said than done. It is really difficult to do it.
Under normal circumstances, the ordinary small fart people see a bit of official-level people who are not respectful and do low? Although China has a willingness to promote equality for all, the servility of the nation’s bones after the reincarnation of the millennial feudal dynasty is difficult to be cleaned up in a short period of time. The current social status needs to reach the state of the official and the relatives of some countries in Western Europe. the process of.
Moreover, people love to listen to good words, and leadership is also true, but how to say good things is also a skill. Just like Zhang Siyi, I just said that this design is not what they do. It not only reflects his modesty, but also gives Wang Secretary a face. At the same time, he raises the status of Gu Yu. Maybe the director Wang has a phone call with Gu Yu. I will be very happy after I know it, just three arrows!
But if you change to Lu Qiao yourself, you know that you have to say something good, but you don’t know how to say it. If you don’t pay attention to the horse’s legs, you will become a "smart".
Lu Qiao sighed and looked at Zhang Siyi, envious of the family education brought by the other family.
... Fortunately, Zhang Siyi is a good person. If this person is a bit high-spirited, his envy will have to give birth to hate!
Lu Qiao remembered one thing and humbly asked for advice: "You just said that you are talking to Director Wang, why don't you give the business card to Director Jiang and not to Secretary Wang?"
Zhang Siyi is another glimpse. This small detail Lu Qiao does not mention that he forgot.
After thinking about it, he scratched his head and explained: "I didn't tell him that we are just little assistants? Although it was the care worker who called Wang, let him arrange us to see the base, but you see, the first to contact us is also Jiang. Director, it can be seen that Director Wang does not look at us. He is the boss of our class, that is, the worker. In his opinion, only the worker is qualified to call him directly. He can come in person today. Answering our questions has already given face, so even if I give him a business card, he will return to the director Jiang, then I am not as self-aware, directly to Director Jiang..."
Lu Qiao: "..."
Lying in the trough, the original business card and so many bends around? (#°Д°)
"But the director Jiang didn't already know that you had a phone call. Didn't you give him a business card?" Lu Qiao asked again.
Zhang Siyi waved his hand: "Two boxes of business cards are two hundred, I can't finish it. I can send a few outs when I send it. Anyway, I can let Director Jiang deepen my impression. I am Wang. It’s definitely not a bad thing to give him a good impression, hey!

Lu Qiao was completely convinced, silently in the heart of the cow - hey, the city is deep, he wants to go back to the countryside! T_t two people walked for an hour, saw a lot of new commercial malls, although the scale is not as big as the big city, but it is also very good.
However, Zhang Siyi found a strange phenomenon -
Their location is already in the center of the city. They just didn't feel much in the car. When they came down, they found that the city was sparsely populated, most of the malls were empty, and many shops in the shops were not rented. Going out, the shop in the business is also lack of interest. The clerk stood bored by the door, or sat in the store to doze off, and saw that the people did not come forward to greet the passion.
"It’s so cold..." Zhang Siyi said with a feeling.

Is it a workday relationship?
Lu Qiao guessed.
Zhang Siyi frowned. "It shouldn't be. It's going to be a New Year. Young people are going to work, and there are always old people coming out to buy."
Lu Qiao quickly thought of the reason for this: "That is over-developed."
Yes, a few years ago, driven by rising commodity prices and rapid credit growth, many small and medium-sized cities built buildings, shopping centers and office buildings, which led to oversupply in the market.
Just in the car, Director Jiang only introduced the circle symbolically. He was also very proud of the local construction and development. However, they actually saw it in the first place and found that the name was not true. Although the commercial building was built, it was both stagnation and stagnation. - It seems that the city of C is a typical example of over-development.
Regardless of whether the local government is doing this in order to pursue political achievements or unrealistic gDp growth or something else, this circle looks down. Zhang Siyi’s heart has been very upset about the director Wang, and whispered: "All this is still developing new The plot, what landmark office building to build, is not afraid to build more and more poor."
Lu Qiao also followed the appendix: "I also think that such a large piece of land, directly let the office building, do not make a plan first, you say that this Wang Secretary is not sprinkling?!"
Zhang Siyi paused and said: "That's not the case. I don't think he doesn't understand the problem, but he looks at the strength of the workmanship. He knows that the workmanship will not be designed. Although he wants the office building, we I will definitely do some plot planning beforehand. In the end, he used the design fee of an office building and got the idea of ​​plot planning. It is simply buying one get one free, sinister and insidious!"
Lu Qiao touched his chin and suddenly came over. He shot his thigh and said with indignation: "I knew that I should just say what I said, just let him do something! Look at what base! Heart plug!"
Zhang Siyi: "..."
Silence for a while, both of them sighed.
Because they know that, no matter what, the design still has to be done well, just as doctors can't judge whether they treat each other because of one's good and evil. This is the basic professional quality.
This chat, I did not expect to see God at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The two quickly took a taxi to the bus station, but they accidentally bumped into a pothole taxi driver, took them around a large circle, and pitted them for more than ten yuan.
Lu Qiao was so angry with the driver that the dragon could not be overwhelmed by the local snake. What's more, Lu Qiao's small body is just a weak chicken, and it is absolutely impossible to really wave his arm.
Zhang Siyi was also anxious to die. He pulled Lu Qiaoqi to buy a bus ticket. He didn’t help Lu Qiao, but it was a small matter for him. It’s a big deal to catch up with the high-speed rail!
However, the tragedy still happened. Just a few minutes of dispute, they just missed the bus.
The two were completely shocked. They didn't have an appetite for dinner. They waited for twenty minutes in anxious manners before they waited for the next bus. They also looked straight at the time in the car. They couldn't wait for the driver to help step on the two-legged throttle.
The travel time of the long-distance bus is well controlled, not too fast or too slow - for forty-five minutes, waiting for the car to arrive at the high-speed rail station in the city, the two will rush to the high-speed rail station with a sprint speed of 100 meters. , rush in and see -
"My second time!"
Just a minute away, the car has already left!
Zhang Siyi held his knees and almost swallowed his own internal organs.
Lu Qiao began to squat on the driver: "The fairy slate of the dog day, bullying our outsiders, we are missing the car, he bought it, and the poor people out of the country..."
When he was tired, he was frustrated: "I blame me, I shouldn't argue with him." He pulled his head and couldn't do it.
"Don't blame you, if I don't propose to go shopping, we won't be too late..." Zhang Siyi comforted him, waiting for him to rise up and stare at the red word "stop checking the ticket", and said: "This is our next It's really 'not going back'."
Lu Qiao immediately remembered the lines they said together in front of the base, and they burst into tears and sneered out: "Yes, what do you do now?"
Zhang Siyi is also a bit of a without a master: "I don't know..."
At this moment, his cell phone rang, and Zhang Siyi seemed to be on the electric display. He was scared to take a chill and quickly picked it up.
Just listen to the opposite side: "Is it back?"
"We, we... don't come back." (=_=)
"..."
"No, no, we can't come back..."
"……Ok?"
Listening to the "hmm" that asked the question, Zhang Siyi instinctively softened his voice and pityly complained: "We are just working, we just missed the car." (兀_兀)
Gu Yu: "..."
