Chapter 778 The Situation is Complicated
Du Fei scratched with his fingernails, leaving a faint mark on the armrest.
It's really extravagant to use such a big red sandalwood material as a handrail for the stairs!
While thinking in his heart, Du Fei came to the second floor.
Glanced to the left of the corridor.
Just now in the mail room at the gate of the compound, the guard said that the office of Mayor Chu is on the left upstairs.
Du Fei just glanced at it, and before he could go that way, someone came out from the other side and shouted, "Hey, comrade, who are you looking for?"
Du Fei looked back and saw that she was an aunt in her 40s. There are always several such aunts in various agencies.
Du Fei smiled and said, "Hello, big sister, I'm looking for the county magistrate Chu Mingchu."
When the aunt heard that she was looking for the county magistrate Chu, she immediately walked over with a smile: "Look for the county magistrate Chu! I'll take you there..."
As he spoke, he took a few steps and ran to the front of Du Fei.
It was obvious that the young man in front of him was not looking for trouble, and with a northern accent, he must be a relative of the county magistrate.
Once at the door, the woman knocked on the door and shouted, "Major Chu, someone is looking for you!"
"Come in" came from the office.
Only then did the woman push open the door, smiled and nodded to the inside, then let Du Fei in, and exited tactfully.
But he saw the usually calm county magistrate Chu immediately got up to greet him.
The woman couldn't help but wonder what the origin of this young man was.
She thought she was the county magistrate's younger brother or something, but now it turns out he is not!
Otherwise, Chu Ming wouldn't be treated so courteously.
Thinking this way in her heart, she closed the door without slowing down. After taking two steps outside, she suddenly turned back, walked into the building, and entered the secretary's office...
At the same time, in Chu Ming's office.
Du Fei shook hands with Chu Ming enthusiastically, and called "Brother Daming".
Chu Ming said with a smile: "Xiao Fei, I have waited for you! Sit down!"
As he said that, he let Du Fei sit on the rattan sofa in the office.
Because of the hot and humid weather, this kind of rattan sofa chair is more ventilated and comfortable to sit on.
Chu Ming poured Du Fei a cup of tea and asked, "By the way, where is Xiao Ting? Didn't you say you two came here together?"
Du Fei said: "She went to the unit to go through the formalities first, the situation is more urgent."
Chu Ming nodded, no one knows better than him how tense the situation over there is now.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as instant.
Chu Ming simply ended the greetings, and went straight to the point: "I heard that Uncle Zhu gave you the right to act arbitrarily, even Lin Tiansheng was your deputy?"
Du Fei nodded, and said seriously: "Yes! The responsibility is heavy! I thought I was helping Lin Tiansheng, but I didn't expect..."
Chu Ming gave a noncommittal "hmm" and didn't dwell on this issue.
In his opinion, whether Du Fei or Lin Tiansheng, there is no essential difference.
The most important thing now is to determine the next direction, whether it is conservative or radical, and to what extent.
In the past two days, Xinj's Hou family has sent people over more than once to inquire.
Chu Ming couldn't give a definite answer, which annoyed them very much.
He even directly questioned his sincerity.
After Chu Ming explained the situation, Du Fei smiled: "The Hou family in the New Territories...Brother Daming, they are just bluffing. Even if we really have no sincerity, do they have any other choice?"
Saying that, he looked at Chu Ming meaningfully.
Chu Ming nodded and said: "That's true, but after all, we are compatriots, so we still have to pay attention to the influence."
Du Fei smiled, and could feel that Chu Ming was obviously much more mature in the year since he came out.
What he said just now is four points true and six points false.
In this year and month, what kind of Shangshuihou family has the right to blow their beards and stare at Chu Ming?
When Chu Ming said this, he was still testing Du Fei's attitude.
Although Du Fei was sent by Zhu's father this time, and the Zhu family and the Chu family were allies, but because of the joining of Lin Tiansheng and Li Yuanchao, Chu Ming was not sure whether Du Fei could guarantee the interests of the Chu family.
But that was the end of the point, and the two quickly got down to business.
Du Fei asked, "Brother Daming, what's going on over there now?"
Chu Ming said in a deep voice: "The situation is very pessimistic. Since the end of this year, the opposite side has started provoking provocations and probing, and they have confronted each other three times. The last time was just four days ago."
Du Fei frowned.
He didn't know this situation.
In addition, Chu Ming also mentioned that since the end of last year, the conflict between labor and capital in Xiangjiang has become more and more acute.
Du Fei nodded. Father Zhu mentioned this before he came. Although he didn't elaborate, he did not deny that this was a deliberate attempt by the enemy.
The purpose is also very simple, just to see how much mobilization ability China still has.
Once something happens, he can display several levels of skill, and is there still the explosive power of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger in 1962?
As to why they do it.
Looking at it from the current point of view, it is quite confusing to see the flowers in the fog.
But from Du Fei's point of view, it's not difficult to understand at all. In fact, Yingg people are the pawns of Berry.
Moreover, the conflict between labor and capital in Xiangjiang has already reached the point of irreconcilability...
After hearing what Chu Ming said, Du Fei had a more intuitive impression of the current situation, and asked again: "Where are the Huazi over there? What's their attitude?"
Chu Ming shook his head: "I can't touch this yet."
In fact, the very important reason why Chu Ming was able to contact the Hou family in the New Territories this time was that there were some members of the Hou family in Dongguan territory, so the two sides had a communication channel.
On the Hou family's side, they were also in a hurry to go to the doctor.
It is hoped that with the help of external forces, it can balance the oppression of Xiangjiang's high-level officials and strive for more development space for the local clans.
As for heading north with one heart, it’s fine to shout slogans.
None of the heads of these Xiangjiang rich families have any property in their hands.
Of course, it is not comparable to those big capitalists on Xiangjiang Island, and it is impossible to give up the rights and property in their hands.
This is their fundamental interest, and it is impossible to give up from the beginning.
Therefore, Du Fei didn't have much expectations for the so-called Xiangjiang family.
In fact, Chu Ming also understands this truth, but right now he only has the 'Hou Family' card in his hand.
Regardless of how the game changes, he has to hold this card in his hand as much as possible to be eligible to speak.
Du Fei didn't say anything, and asked instead: "Brother Daming, if something really happens in the New Territories, how many people do you think you can pull out?"
Chu Ming thought for a while and said, "Last time the Hou family said that Deng, Liao, Wen, Peng, and Hou can pull out 3000 or [-] people. Together, there must be tens of thousands of people."
When Du Fei heard this, Chu Minghui misunderstood, and explained: "That... I mean, how many guns do they have?"
Chu Ming froze for a moment, frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"
Du Fei smiled: "When I arrived, my father-in-law said eight words to me, Brother Daming, you should know, right?"
Chu Ming's eyes were fixed, and his face was a little ugly.
Du Fei said in a calm manner: "Brother Daming, I'm not using these words to pressure you, but these eight characters represent the expectations of us young people from above, telling us to let go of our hands and feet, don't worry, No matter how serious the consequences are, they will cover us up..."
When Chu Ming heard this, his face softened.
Du Fei went on to say: "If this is the case, we are still tied, Brother Daming... What do you think they will think?"
The last sentence touched Chu Ming's heart at once.
Yes!Leaving aside specific matters, the expectations of the elders for them are fundamental.
Especially Lin Tiansheng, who came all the way to the south just to make a trip without pain or itching?
Obviously this is not possible.
Thinking of this, Chu Ming woke up.
Thinking of the five surnames over there, he shook his head: "In this regard, I don't think I can count on them. Those people..."
Speaking of this, Chu Ming snorted: "I guess they never thought about armed resistance, and they are still fantasizing about exerting pressure through demonstrations to force the British to make concessions."
Du Fei nodded. He had thought of this situation a long time ago.
But in Du Fei's view, one thing cannot be regarded as an absolute whole at any time.
Just like now, although the surnames in Xinj have this attitude, they can only represent the elders in power.
It does not represent the thoughts of young people in their clan.
In this era, no matter where young people are, they are the most combative and vigorous idealists.
It's just that now that they are bound in the clan, they still need an opportunity.
Du Fei didn't tell Chu Ming about this, but instead said, "Xiaoting and I will go to Xiangjiang the day after tomorrow. Brother Daming, please help arrange it. I'll meet them."
Chu Ming nodded: "That's no problem. By the way, you should have met Lin Tiansheng before you came, right?"
Du Fei let out a "huh".
Chu Ming opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But the words hit his lips, but he swallowed them back, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, let's not talk~ Anyway, the situation in Xiangjiang is very complicated, you should be more careful."
Du Fei estimated that Chu Ming was probably trying to remind him to keep a distance from Lin Tiansheng.
He also felt that it was shameful to chew people's tongue behind his back, so he didn't say it.
By the time Du Fei returned to Guangzhou by car, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.
Compared with the capital city, the streets in Guangzhou are more lively, and the opening hours of various restaurants are also later.
Du Fei returned to the guest house, but Zhu Ting hadn't come back yet.
Originally, Du Fei went to Dongguan, intending to take Chu Ming with him in one car, and hold a meeting with Lin Tiansheng and Li Yuanchao in the evening to set the tone.
But because of the spring flood a few days ago, the flood broke down several embankments.
Chu Ming, the county magistrate, must not leave his post without authorization.
If it rains at night and something happens, no one can afford it.
Du Fei understood the depth, so he had to come back by himself.
After waiting for a while, Zhu Ting finally came back with a tired face.
"Xiao Fei, you're back! That's great, give me a pinch~"
As soon as Zhu Ting entered the room, she threw the file bag on the bed: "I'm so exhausted today! It's so troublesome to go to Xiangjiang."
Du Fei smiled and took his time when he was about to say trouble.
But Zhu Ting said: "It's all done, and I will pass the customs the day after tomorrow afternoon."
