Chapter 2080: Substitution and Follow-up

Yang Shan smiled and said, "I am an expert at drilling holes and climbing over walls. I often visited the neighbors when I was a kid. I know a secret passage. It's behind the big tree in the northeast corner of our house."

After Yang Shan finished speaking, he led Liu Fusheng to the vicinity of the big tree. Looking carefully, they found that there was indeed a small hole in the wall in the corner.

This place is deep in the garden and is usually covered with green plants. With Yang Shan's careful concealment, no one else has discovered it.

Commander Yang looked at the hole in the wall, shook his head and said, "The guards were too careless."

Yang Shan scratched his head and said, "Grandpa, you can't blame the guards for this. After all, the other side of the cave is also very safe. It doesn't lead to the outside of the wall. The security level of our two families is the same. When I was a child, the guards and the aunties in the kitchen liked me. When they saw me running around, they wouldn't really stop me...hahaha."

The outsides of the two families' compounds are heavily guarded, and it is impossible for strangers to get in, so it is understandable that they are a little more lax inside.

Unexpectedly, this hole helped Liu Fusheng a lot. This time he completely avoided the risk of being caught by surveillance cameras while climbing over the wall.

At this time, in the Zhou family's living room.

After dinner, Zhou Guohua said to his wife, "I'm worried that Lao Yang doesn't understand what you said."

Sister Xie smiled and said, "Brother Yang is a man of great intelligence. He will definitely understand what I mean. Otherwise, with his temper, he would probably stay at our house tonight."

Zhou Guohua sighed and said, "Didn't you say at the beginning that you would never have any contact with your family until you died?"

Sister Xie shook her head and said, "I did think so at the time, but decades later, I think there are some things we have to take responsibility for."

"Old Zhou, you are no longer the pure economist you once were. You must take a clear stand in your position and can't always be a good guy..."

Zhou Guohua sighed again: "We have analyzed those things, how many people will believe it?"

Sister Xie said: "I really want to know why my second uncle asked Liu Fusheng to come to me. If he has made a judgment, it is also an opportunity for us."

Zhou Guohua said: "Okay, you have always been the one making the decision on this matter. You make the choice and I support it... Others think that I am a pushover. In fact, we intellectuals who have returned from overseas have a more reserved, deeper, and more resolute love for our country and nation."

Sister Xie held her husband's hand and said, "I understand. This is why I resolutely chose to marry you. You have never let me down in your life."

As the two were talking, the guard at the door suddenly shouted, "Who is it? Don't move, put your hands up!"

Then someone laughed and said, "Comrade, don't get me wrong, I'm just visiting from next door."

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you know where this is? Come on, arrest him!"

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Guohua in the room smiled at each other.

Then, Zhou Guohua walked to the window, opened it and asked, "What's going on?"

A guard ran over, saluted and reported: "Report to the commander, a suspicious person suddenly appeared in our yard. We have controlled him and are preparing to strictly interrogate him."

Zhou Guohua said: "Bring him here, he is my guest."

The guard was slightly stunned, but did not dare to disobey the leader's order. After saluting, he immediately ran out.

A moment later, Liu Fusheng, with some mud on his body, walked into the living room surrounded by two guards.

Zhou Guohua and Sister Xie looked at him calmly.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Director Zhou, Sister Xie, hello, I am Liu Fusheng, from Chaojiang City, Guangdong Province."

Zhou Guohua nodded and signaled the guard to go down.

Sister Xie looked Liu Fusheng up and down, and then said: "Secretary Liu is indeed young and promising. He can even climb over such a high wall!"

Liu Fusheng chuckled: "Sister Xie, you misunderstood. I didn't climb over the wall, I came in through a hole."

"Drill a hole?" Sister Xie was slightly stunned.

Liu Fusheng was about to speak when Zhou Guohua waved his hand and said, "Secretary Liu, please sit down first. We can talk slowly."

Liu Fusheng didn't hesitate to sit on the sofa and start chatting with the couple naturally, as if all the previous avoidance and stern rejection had disappeared.

This is the pattern of how big people do things. There is no need to pay too much attention to what has happened. What is happening now and what will happen in the future are the key to the problem.

Zhou Guohua said: "The Jiyang Airport project requires a lot of funds, and the National Development and Reform Commission is also under certain pressure. After all, in terms of development and reform, we also have to consider the national finances. For projects with low return on investment, especially government loans, it seems that no bank is willing to undertake them at present?"

Liu Fusheng said: "What Director Zhou said is true, but we must look at the problem from a development perspective. The economic reform in Chaojiang area has been promoted smoothly. The Yangjiang transportation line has been completed. All industries in Jiyang City are in urgent need of adjustment and upgrading. I believe that Jiyang City will become a booming city in the future. Its potential is unlimited. Therefore, it is inevitable to build an international airport that meets the standards."

Zhou Guohua listened to Liu Fusheng talking, sometimes thinking and sometimes nodding.

Finally, he smiled and said: "Secretary Liu's ideas are very clear and his methods are very novel. I believe that this airport can play its due role and will also be of certain help to the economic development of your region."

"But my own words don't count for this matter. We still need to hold a meeting to discuss it and study its feasibility from all aspects and angles. What I can assure Secretary Liu is that whether the project is approved or not, this matter will not be delayed for too long."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Thank you Director Zhou for your understanding and support. In addition, I heard from Chief Yang that you think it is not appropriate for me to continue to follow up on this project. I have decided to respect your opinion. After we finish talking, I will return to Chaojiang and send someone capable to continue to follow up on this matter."

Hearing this, Zhou Guohua and Sister Xie both laughed.

This Liu Fusheng really knows how to do things. This statement alone proves that he has fully understood the meaning of Sister Xie's words, and is willing to pretend to have returned empty-handed and left in disgrace on the surface.

As for who to send to follow up on this matter, that’s not important.

As long as Liu Fusheng and Sister Xie get along well, these are not a problem.

After talking about work, Zhou Guohua stood up and said, "I'm a little tired today, and I'm going to rest early. Secretary Liu, please sit down first. My wife has something to say and wants to talk to you."

After saying that, Zhou Guohua turned around and went upstairs.

After watching his back disappear, Liu Fusheng turned around and looked at Sister Xie with a smile.

Sister Xie said: "I asked you to jump over the wall, but you chose to drill through a hole. Your style of doing things is really unexpected."
