Chapter 139 Hurry back to Qiong Island

  Li Sanping told Nelson about the matter over the phone, and Nelson didn't have any objections to it. This thing was related to his income, so he naturally hoped that Li Sanping could handle it as soon as possible.

  Earlier he proposed a new company with Liang Sanping, but Liang did not respond. Nelson also cleverly knew that this was Liang leaving himself an exit.

  Some things are better left unsaid, as it would make everyone's relationship extremely awkward. It's better to selectively forget about them, which is beneficial for both parties. Liang Sanping handled it this way, and Nelson understood the implication.

  The next morning, a car came to take Liang Sanping to the pass. This was arranged by Nelson, and Liang Sanping had already packed his luggage the night before.

  The car soon arrived at the pass. The return trip was very smooth, but Liang Sanping was surrounded and watched again, just like when he came. Others were trying every means to sneak into Xiangjiang, but Liang Sanping had gone there and come back.

  Not only were the warriors on the border surprised, but even the British soldiers guarding them were also surprised. After checking their documents and finding no problems, they could only let them pass.

  Just as he was about to leave the gate, Liang Sanping saw Ye Jianwen smiling and waiting for him at the entrance. Seeing this kid, Liang Sanping couldn't help but smile wryly.

  This guy shows up here, which means his hope of returning to Qiong Island as soon as possible has been dashed. If this scoundrel doesn't have a big drink with me, he will absolutely not let me go.

  "Let's go!" However, Ye Jianwen smiled and opened the car door, saying: "I know why you're going back to Qiong Island, but don't worry! The situation over there has stabilized, and nothing will happen for the time being. Brother is treating you, just for a day."

  "Honestly, let's just have a drink together, don't think about running away." Ye Jianwen looked at Liang Sanping with a smile and said: "After we finish this drink, I'll let you go. And I can even help you find a ride back!"

  The words have been said to this extent, what else can Liang Sanping say? He could only smile bitterly and get on Ye Jianwen's car, then watch him drive with a pleased expression, taking himself to his residence.

  At his residence, Lan Bin was already smiling and preparing to eat. This meal, they didn't want to publicize it, so Lan Bin took the lead in going out to buy a pile of vegetables and bringing them back to Ye Jianwen's place to cook by the stove.

  They were having a hot pot, but in the northern part of Guangdong, they call it "da bian lu". Looking at the full table of dishes and a box of Wuliangye liquor placed on the edge of the table, Liang Sanping knew that tonight was going to be a night of unrelenting drinking.

  "What else can I say?! Let's get started!" Since he already knew, Liang Sanping simply let go. He put down his luggage and directly opened a bottle of Wuliangye, pouring it into the wine bowl.

  Ye Jianwen and Lan Bin, seeing the situation, directly gave Liang Sanping a thumbs up! Enough of being a man, enough of being bold. Knowing they couldn't hide anymore, they went all out and fought to the end.

  Wine has gone through three rounds. Dishes have gone through five flavors. Drinking with sweat all over their bodies, the three of them took off their shirts completely. They were eating hot pot with gusto and laughing loudly. Their relationship had become so close that they could ignore formalities.

  "Lao Lan, how's Uncle Mu Shan doing now?!" Liang Sanping put down his wine cup and asked Lan Bin directly. The latter shook his head with a bitter smile: "Not good, many things have been done, but there are also many disputes."

  "Not long ago, there were still people discussing his affairs in the newspapers. The spearhead was pointing at him. Now we are in a difficult situation. It's not that doing something is not right, nor is not doing something not right... We're suffering from both sides."

  Ye Jianwen heard this and put down his chopsticks, saying: "Let them say what they want. Can they really come to bother Uncle Moshan? They're just showing off their tongues, the old masters in the imperial capital are all clear mirrors in their hearts. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

  Ye Jianwen's words made Lan Bin nod repeatedly: "If it weren't for the support of the old men upstairs, I reckon my uncle would have been unable to continue a long time ago. Now there are too many voices, it's chaotic!"

  Liang Sanping sighed, when is it not chaotic?! Even if it's his time, it's still a mess. The internet says whatever, a bunch of people hiding behind computers and networks spouting nonsense and pointing fingers at the world.

  "They do their thing, we do ours. Life is like that. Can everything go as one wishes? Just be free from self-reproach." One sentence made Lan Bin and Ye Jianwen nod in agreement repeatedly.

  It's indeed the case. But it's easy to talk, and when you encounter someone, you'll feel a bit annoyed. When you don't do something, but instead stand by and point fingers, it's quite energetic. Several times, Lan Bin wanted to rush in front of those reporters and ask them how they could write such nonsense?!

  Lan Bin didn't know, and some later journalists were even more outrageous. In order to attract eyeballs, they can speculate, intentionally exaggerate headlines, make false reports... and even fabricate rumors.

  "Nowadays, the investment promotion activities in Jiangkou are going on quite well, both in Xiangjiang and Yizhou. Many factories have relocated here, and some investments are also being explored..."

  After drinking for a while, Lan Bin began to introduce the current situation in Jiangkou. During this period, under the efforts of people like Mu Shan, Jiangkou was indeed developing at a visible speed.

  However, Liang Sanping knew that after a while, the construction speed of Jiangkou would be even more crazy.

  "This year we implemented the country's first engineering bidding, and now it is the only one in the country! Lan Bin also seemed proud of his achievement: "The speed of 25 days for a floor was accelerated to 8 days by us! Haha... It's the only one in the country!"

  "What's wrong with what Laozi has done?! Ye Jianwen was clearly dissatisfied with Lan Bin's show-off, but saw him shouting: "Now in the whole Jiangkou, 90% of the villages in the city have established a joint defense team."

  "There are over 4,000 people who have settled down. To say the least, Old Liang, your joint defense team plan is really good! The crime rate has clearly decreased, I've compared it with the Imperial Capital and other cities. The public security situation in Jiangkou has improved significantly!"

  Sighing, Ye Jianwen said: "It's not possible to go out of the pass, it seems I still need to put in more effort. First train people and then send them out step by step."

  "Training must be done well, and the system must also be implemented." Liang Sanping listened to Ye Jianwen's words and couldn't help but put down his wine cup, saying: "If the system is not implemented well, it's easy to breed a bunch of useless people. I don't want you to be scolded by others in the future."

  Ye Jianwen nodded in agreement with Liang Sanping's solemn words: "That's right, I've found someone from the past to take charge of this side. It must be well managed. Otherwise, if there's a problem, I won't be able to explain it!"

  "Hmm... I think, since our country is currently in a period of construction. Can't some engineering troops just be converted locally? Directly establish a construction company, with their skills, wouldn't they still be able to find food in this big city under construction?"

  Ye Jianwen thought for a moment, and indeed! Now Jiangkou has gathered a large number of engineering troops, and the projects here seem to be increasing. There is no need to worry about their work and livelihood issues at all.

  The bonus from the last reward has already ignited a strong desire among those engineers. To create even greater achievements, if they become professional company employees, I estimate that there won't be much obstruction.

  As long as the livelihood is guaranteed and the work is done, everything will be fine. The obedience of the troops is still very good now. Ye Jianwen was very confident in persuading them.

  As for Liang Sanping's suggestion, Lan Bin also expressed a warm welcome. If they turn their profession into a professional construction company, they will naturally need to pay taxes. At the same time, they live in Jiangkou and will also consume here.

  This will greatly boost related industries and also promote the development of Jiangkou.

  Three people finished half a box of Wuliangye, and Liang Sanping fell asleep after getting drunk. Ye Jianwen, who was also drunk, pulled Lan Bin, who was stumbling around, but continued to drink happily.

  The next morning, Liang Sanping woke up with a splitting headache. Ye Jianwen and Lan Bin had already gotten up to go to work. They even had time to take a shower and change their clothes.

  "Up already?! Come, come, come... these phoenix claws and also this pork ribs! Not bad!" Ye Jianwen had already arranged everything for the morning. He even packed a breakfast to bring back to Liang Sanping.

  "You little rascal, I don't know if your skills have improved over the years, but your drinking capacity has definitely increased!... " Liang Sanping rubbed his slightly aching head and smiled wryly: "I could still keep up with you back then, now I'm completely outdone by you!"

  "Kidding! You think I'm staying here for nothing?!" Ye Jianwen laughed and said: "We're all men from the army, we can fight and drink. I've beaten them in both aspects, that's why they'll admit defeat."

  As he spoke, Ye Jianwen urged Liang Sanping to hurry up and wash. After finishing breakfast, he would send him to catch the bus, which had already been arranged. Even the ticket was bought. There were also a lot of snacks.

  The car is going straight to the port, after crossing the sea, Liang Sanping has to find a ride by himself at Qiongzhou Port and return to Bao Ting. No choice, transportation in this era is not developed. Otherwise, Liang Sanping can fly directly from Xiangjiang back to Lucheng.

  Then take a ride for an hour and I'll be back in Bao Ting. Why bother with all this fuss?!

  "After going back, I'd like to suggest building an airport in Lucheng." Liang Sanping said through gritted teeth to Ye Jianwen after washing up: "It's better to go out and take care of things, it's more convenient when you come back. Otherwise, running around like this, not many people can withstand it..."

  Ye Jianwen burst out laughing and urged Liang Sanping to hurry up and eat. Then he sent him to the station, helped him carry all his luggage onto the train, and only then left the platform.

  The train swayed gently as it headed towards Yangcheng. Although the train had sped up, it was still not very fast. Liang Sanping could only open his backpack and take out some snacks that Ye Jianwen had sold to him to eat a bit before closing his eyes to rest.

  The car didn't know how long it had been wandering, and finally arrived at the port. In the crowded crowd, Liang Sanping carried his luggage to buy a ticket. He touched the introduction letter and national grain tickets on him, then looked for money.

  Liang Sanping had just squeezed to the ticket window and bought a ticket. The small boat swayed back and forth, taking more than two hours to arrive at Qiongzhou Port. After getting on the bus, they rushed to the bus station but it was already evening.

  Liang Sanping could only rest for a night at the farm's reception house, then borrowed a phone to inform Xia Zhendong that he had already returned to Qiongzhoukou. He would be able to rush back to Baoting tomorrow.

  Xia Zhendong repeatedly reminded Liang Sanping to pay attention to safety on the phone before hanging up. After returning to Qiong Island, Liang Sanping's tense spirit was finally able to relax a bit.

  Li Sanping washed up and had dinner, then went to rest.

  At this time, however, Peng Lao San in the detention center couldn't sleep. He had been in the detention center for several days and had made all sorts of written records, but he still showed no signs of being released.

  Rubbing the wound on his face, Old Peng couldn't help but sigh. This time it was really an unexpected disaster, he had only gone to mediate and ended up getting beaten. Now he was even squatting in jail.

  Look at your own little brother, mumbling to himself, now the scene is saying all sorts of things. There are also those who say they have become a traitor in the scene, selling out their brothers. Some even say they will be sentenced and estimate that they will be sent to the northwest or something.

  But Peng Lao San was not worried about these things. He knew that his big brother was already on the way back. He would take care of everything for him, what he was worried about now was his old mother.

  The pressure that family members are currently bearing is definitely huge. Especially when outsiders have all sorts of opinions, saying whatever they want. Peng Lao San was afraid that his own family members would also be criticized and wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure.

  "Third brother, don't think so much. Things are like this now, we can only wait. What else can we do?!" A younger brother who came in with him comforted Peng Lao San: "San Ping Ge has already come back, he will help us deal with it."

  "Alas... what's the point of all this?! Sanping is working hard outside, and we can't even handle a small matter at home. I'm too ashamed to face him..."

  Peng Lao San is indeed very ashamed now. People's hearts are made of flesh, and Liang San Ping can feel how he treats himself. He didn't favor Liu Er Dangzi over himself just because he came from an ordinary working-class family.

  To them, Liang Sanping has always been impartial. Even secretly, he has invested more in his own cultivation than in Liu Er's. But unexpectedly, this time when he let himself fly solo, such a problem arose.

  This made Old Peng feel ashamed to face Liang Sanping. Although Xia Zhendong comforted himself, saying that this matter was not his fault. But Old Peng always felt that he had not handled it well, and that he had betrayed Liang Sanping's trust in him.

  "Third brother, don't think about it anymore. Go to bed early, didn't Zhen Dong say so? Tomorrow San Ping will be back. At that time, we'll apologize to San Ping in person..."

  Old Peng nodded, now it can only be so. Otherwise, what else could he do?

  At this time, many people in Bao Ting couldn't sleep. Liang Sanping was coming back, and many people started thinking about how to account for themselves to him. They had gotten into a fight and caused such a big disturbance.

  Even Peng Lao San, who is considered to be Liang San Ping's right-hand man, has been taken away. How can this matter be handled?! Bao Ting is anxious now, as all the projects are being run by Liang San Ping.

  Even if someone has been with you for a year, if they get angry and decide not to play with you next year, who can they go cry to?!

  The farm is also a headache. More than ten people who fought, five are still in the hospital. A group of young people from the farm were taken away. Although the local authorities cannot intervene in the farm's police station.

  But the farm and the people can't just not deal with it, right?! The past two days, the office of the farm department has been in an uproar. Some kids have been locked up in the detention center and they've been making a ruckus too.

  The leaders in the field are also headaches, and this matter should be handled. In fact, the leaders in the field also know that the reason why this thing is noisy is because of the cooperation between Antianmin Company and local authorities.

  Many people find it unacceptable. The farm is not in a position to do these things now, and many of the farm's children are also idle. There are only so many worker quotas, what can you ask them to do?

  Many people naturally have a sense of discontent. This discontent, from the words and deeds of parents, was passed on to the hearts of their children.

  In the end, it naturally evolved into a conflict. Everyone knew what was going on, but it was not easy to handle. Antianmin was directly connected with the province, and the farm couldn't control him at all.

  But this time, Liang Sanping really had a hard time explaining himself to the cadres at the farm. Indeed, it was the farm's own people who caused the trouble. Once they started making a fuss, they were in the wrong.

  So, they are also worried about how to comfort Liang Sanping. At the same time, they are also worried about how to comfort those old workers who have been making trouble in the department for a long time. These old workers all have very senior qualifications.

  Even some of them are older than the leaders on the scene, and can't be scolded or blamed. In such cases, many times the people in the scene can only smile bitterly and helplessly.

  Among everyone's anxiety, Liang Sanping returned to Bao Ting by car on the second afternoon. This time, Liang Sanping did not disturb the people of Qiongzhoukou Farm, but quietly returned to Bao Ting.

  "Three Pings, you've finally come back..." Xia Zhendong looked at Liang Sanping with a bitter smile: "Now the farm and the local area are in a mess. It's all chaotic, if you hadn't come back, who knows what kind of situation it would have become..."

  Liang Sanping got off the dilapidated minibus and smiled at Xia Zhendong, saying: "Since I'm back, things will be settled. What are you worried about? Come on, let's go see Old Peng first."

  Xia Zhendong nodded and immediately introduced the current situation of Bao Ting in the car. At that time, when making the phone call, he was at Ge Tai's place, and many things Xia Zhendong didn't find convenient to say.

  Liang Sanping is back now, and he can tell everything about the farm. Including the current situation of those old workers, the difficulties of the leaders in the field, as well as the problems on the side of Bao Ting and some ideas.

  Liang Sanping listened to Xia Zhendong's introduction all the way, without saying a word. From time to time, he would ask a few questions, such as how the injured were doing and whether the teachers and students of the two academies who were responsible for teaching technology had been affected.

  Only by fully understanding the situation can we make a good disposal method.
