Rebirth of the Flying Era

Du Fei scratched it with his fingernail, leaving a faint mark on the armrest.

Such a large red sandalwood material is used as stair handrails, what a luxury!

Du Fei thought to himself as he came to the second floor.

He glanced to the left of the corridor.

Just now in the mail room at the entrance of the compound, the guard said that the office of County Magistrate Chu is on the left side of the stairs.

Du Fei just took a look, but 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 forties. There were always several such aunts in various government agencies.

Du Fei chuckled and said, "Hello, eldest sister, I'm looking for County Magistrate Chu Mingchu."

When the aunt heard that she was looking for County Magistrate Chu, she immediately came over with a smile: "Look for County Magistrate Chu! I will take you there..."

After saying that, he took a few steps and ran in front of Du Fei.

It was obvious that the young man in front of him was not looking for trouble. He also had a northern accent and must be a relative of the county magistrate.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the woman knocked on the door and shouted: "County Magistrate Chu, someone is looking for you!"

"Come in" came from the office.

The woman then opened the door, smiled and nodded, then let Du Fei in, and then exited in a sensible manner.

However, he saw the usually calm County Magistrate Chu immediately stood up and came out to greet him.

The woman couldn't help but wonder where this young man came from.

She originally thought he was County Magistrate Chu's younger brother or something, but now it seems he's not!

Otherwise, Chu Ming would not be treated with such courtesy.

She was thinking this in her heart, but she didn't close the door slowly at all. After taking two steps outside, she suddenly turned back, walked inside the building, and entered the secretary's office...

At the same time, in Chu Ming’s office.

Du Fei shook hands with Chu Ming warmly and called "Brother Da Ming".

Chu Mingze said with a smile: "Xiao Fei, I've been waiting for you! Sit down, sit down!"

With that said, Du Fei was moved to the sofa made of rattan in the office.

Because the weather is hot and humid, 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's Xiaoting? Didn't you tell me that you two came here together?"

Du Fei said: "She went to the unit to go through the formalities first. The situation is quite urgent."

Chu Ming nodded. No one knew better than him how tense the situation over there was now.

It's an understatement to say it's on the verge of breaking out.

Chu Ming simply ended the greetings and went straight to the point: "I heard that Uncle Zhu gave you the power to make arbitrary decisions when the situation arises, and even Lin Tiansheng became your deputy?"

Du Fei nodded and said seriously: "Yes! It's a great responsibility! I originally thought I was the one who helped Lin Tiansheng, but I didn't expect..."

Chu Ming gave a noncommittal "hmm" and did not dwell on the issue.

In his opinion, there is no essential difference between Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng.

The most important thing now is to determine the next direction, whether it will be conservative or radical, and to what extent.

In the past two days, the Hou family from Xinj has sent people over more than once to inquire.

Chu Ming was unable to give a clear answer, which made the other party very angry.

He even directly questioned his sincerity.

After Chu Ming explained the situation, Du Fei smiled: "The New Territories Hou family...Brother Daming, they are just bluffing. Even if we are really not sincere, do they have any other choice?"

As he spoke, 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 impact."

Du Fei smiled and could feel that Chu Ming was obviously much more experienced in the year he came out than before.

What I said just now is only 40% true and 60% false.

In this day and age, what qualifications does the Shangshui Hou family have to glare at Chu Ming?

Chu Ming said this, still testing Du Fei's attitude.

Although Du Fei was sent by Father Zhu this time, and the Zhu family and the Chu family were allies, because of the participation 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 enough, and the two soon 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 not optimistic. Since the Chinese New Year this year, the other side has started provoking provocations and testing. There have been three confrontations. 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 labor-capital conflict in Xiangjiang has become increasingly acute.

Du Fei nodded. Father Zhu had mentioned this before. Although he didn't elaborate, he did not deny that this was a deliberate test by the enemy.

The purpose is also very simple, just to see how much mobilization capacity China still retains.

Once something happens, how many levels of skills can be used, and do you still have the explosive power of 1962 that can swallow thousands of miles like a tiger?

As to why they do this.

From the current perspective, it is quite confusing and confusing.

But from Du Fei's point of view, it is not difficult to understand that the British are actually the pawns of Berry.

Moreover, the labor-capital conflict in Xiangjiang has already reached an irreconcilable point...

After hearing what Chu Ming said, Du Fei had a more intuitive impression of the current situation, and asked again: "Where are the Chinese investors over there? What's their attitude?"

Chu Ming shook his head: "I can't get into this yet."

In fact, the important reason why Chu Ming was able to contact the Hou family in Daoxin this time was that there were some Hou family members in Dongguan territory, so the two sides had a channel of communication.

In fact, the Hou family also sought medical treatment in a hurry.

It is hoped that external forces can be used to balance the oppression of Xiangjiang's top leaders and strive for more development space for local clans.

As for heading north, just shout slogans.

None of these heads of Xiangjiang's wealthy families doesn't have some wealth in their hands.

Although it is not as good as the big capitalists in Hong Kong, it is impossible for them to give up their rights and property.

This is their fundamental interest and cannot be given up from the beginning.

Therefore, Du Fei didn't have high expectations for the so-called Xiangjiang surname.

In fact, Chu Ming also understands this truth, but right now he only has the 'Hou Family' card in his hand.

No matter how the card game changes, he has to hold this card in his hand as much as possible to be qualified to speak.

Du Fei didn't say anything, and instead asked: "Brother Daming, if something really happens over there in the New Territories, how many people do you think you can pull out?"

Chu Ming thought for a while and said: "The Hou family said last time that the five families of Deng, Liao, Wen, Peng, and Hou can draw two to three thousand people, and together they can definitely have tens of thousands of people."

When Du Fei heard this, Chu Minghui misunderstood and explained: "Well... I mean, how many guns do they have?"

Chu Ming was stunned 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 it, right?"

Chu Ming's eyes narrowed and his face looked a little ugly.

Du Fei said calmly: "Brother Daming, I'm not saying this to pressure you, but these eight words represent the expectations of our young people from above. They tell us to let go and don't have any worries. No matter how serious the consequences are, they will always protect us..."

When Chu Ming heard this, his expression softened.

Du Fei continued: "If this is the case, we are still tied up, Brother Daming... what do you think they will think?"

The last sentence suddenly touched Chu Ming's heart.

yes! Putting aside specific matters, the expectations of the older generation for them are fundamental.

Especially Lin Tiansheng, who came all the way to the south just for a painless trip?

Obviously this is impossible.

Thinking of this, Chu Ming woke up.

Thinking of the five major surnames over there, he shook his head: "I don't think I can count on them in this regard. Those people..."

At this point, Chu Ming snorted: "I guess they have never thought about armed resistance. They are still fantasizing about using demonstrations to exert pressure and force the British to make concessions."

Du Fei nodded, he had already thought of this situation.

But in Dufy's view, a thing cannot be regarded as an absolute whole at any time.

Just like now, although the big surnames in Xinj have this attitude, they can only represent the powerful clan elders.

It does not represent the thoughts of the young people in their tribe.

In this era, young people no matter where they are are the most combative and energetic idealists.

But now they are bound to the clan and need an opportunity.

Du Fei did not tell Chu Ming this, but instead said: "Xiaoting and I will go to Xiangjiang the day after tomorrow. Brother Daming, please help make arrangements, and I will go see them."

Chu Ming nodded: "That's no problem. By the way, you should have met Lin Tiansheng before you came here, right?"

Du Fei said "hmm".

Chu Ming opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But when he spoke, he swallowed it back, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about it~ In short, the situation in Xiangjiang is very complicated, so be more careful."

Du Fei estimated that Chu Ming probably wanted to remind him to keep a distance from Lin Tiansheng.

I also felt that it was a bit shameful to talk behind someone's back, so I didn't say anything.

By the time Du Fei returned to Guangzhou city by car, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

Compared with Beijing, the streets in Guangzhou are more lively, and the opening hours of various restaurants are later.

Du Fei returned to the guest house, but Zhu Ting was not back yet.

Originally, Du Fei went to Dongguan and planned to pick up Chu Ming in a car and hold a meeting with Lin Tiansheng and Li Yuanchao in the evening to set the tone.

However, due to the spring floods a few days ago, floods washed away several dams.

Chu Ming, the county magistrate, must not leave his post without permission.

If it rains at night and something happens, no one can afford it.

Du Fei understood the depth and had no choice but to come back by himself.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Ting finally came back with a tired look on her face.

"Xiao Fei, you're back! That's great, give me a squeeze~"

As soon as Zhu Ting entered the room, she threw the document bag on the bed: "I'm so exhausted today! It's so troublesome to go to Xiangjiang."

Du Fei smiled and just wanted to say trouble, so he took his time.

Zhu Ting said: "It's all done. I'll pass the customs in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."
