Return to Splendid

Chapter 168 Smile

It felt a bit familiar, and when they looked at each other, they recognized it. It was Jiang Mengxin. She had tall hair and a tall figure. She was wearing a close-fitting thin velvet jacket and she still looked so beautiful.

Xing Yi spoke first: "Hello Jiang Mengxin."

"Xing Yi, it's you. I can't tell, you've changed so much." She looked at him carefully.

"Really? I've been working outside for a few years, and I've become darker and a bit thinner."

Jiang Mengxin smiled and said, "Are you being sarcastic? That was you back then, but you are completely different now."

Jiang Mengxin suddenly asked: "Old classmate, aren't you married? Your lover didn't come with you?"

Xing Yi told the truth bluntly, "I came together. I met my colleagues from the unit at the gate and said I had to work overtime, so I rushed over. Hey, where is your half?"

"My half?" He looked around deliberately, "Yes, where is he?"

In memory, Jiang Mengxin should have a partner. It seemed that he was a big boss, engaged in urban landscaping, and also liked to cultivate orchids, but later I heard...

I wanted to ask her something, but suddenly felt that the content was inappropriate, so I stopped.

"What? Do you want to ask me if I'll look for you again?"

Jiang Mengxin smiled, with particularly even and clean teeth. She had been like this in high school, and she liked to show her teeth from time to time to show off her uniqueness.

Xing Yi said: "Sorry, I shouldn't ask casually."

"It doesn't matter, you can ask, and I will answer you properly." Jiang Mengxin was still smiling, her eyes still moving on him.

Xing Yi felt that it was better not to continue talking like this. He thought of a question and said seriously: "Hey, let me ask you something, Shi Xiuzhen, she is your cousin, right?"

"Yes, she is my cousin, do you know her?"

"I know her. She is the financial director of Hongda Company."

"Cousin, she has a heavy responsibility in this job."

"I want to tell you a little thing about your cousin."

Jiang Mengxin looked confused.

"What is it?"

Xing Yi mentioned Ji Dewan. Yes, he didn't want to mention it at first, but it was Jiang Mengxin in front of him. It didn't matter, so he just said it directly. What this person did was very likely to be illegal and there would be problems one day. And her cousin, now It seems that I haven't seen through it yet, and I am still interacting with this person. Maybe I haven't discovered that this person's motives are harmonious. It is not to make friends, but to make profits and take advantage of the little power she has.

"I have no formal relationship with Hongda Company, and I don't know your cousin. I learned about this on other occasions. I think she is the cousin of an old classmate. I need to remind you. It's a bit abrupt for me to say this. please forgive me."

"It's okay. It's not rude at all. It means you haven't forgotten your old classmate yet. Thank you for caring so much about my cousin. I will tell her in time and ask her to pay attention to it."

As we talked, time passed quickly, more than ten minutes passed.

There were many people walking around, and they couldn't help but turn their heads towards them, their eyes passing over the two of them, even lingering on them.

I don't know what else she wanted to say. Anyway, Xing Yi didn't dare to say any more. As he took a step forward, he asked, "Don't you want to buy groceries too? Which way are you going?"

Jiang Mengxin raised her hand and pointed to the side: "I want to go over there and take a look."

"Well, goodbye."

Turning around a stall, she turned slightly sideways and looked back from the corner of her eyes. Jiang Mengxin was still in the same place, with her head half raised, looking at the high ceiling of the market. The bright sunshine was shining on the ceiling. When she looked at it, she was reminded of the past...

He quickened his pace and left the meat stall, forgetting about the tenderloin he wanted to buy.

After walking a few steps forward, I met another person, Lang Zijian from Xiayan Village.

Lang Zijian had seen him a long time ago. He was standing very close to a beautiful woman and talking passionately without disturbing them.

Lang Zijian brought a farm truck and two partners with him. He had already bought half a pig, five chickens, five pig trotters, five fish, and a large basket of cabbage.

Xing Yi asked: "What activities are going to be held in the village?"

"You've been a big help with the gravel pit."

"The sand and gravel field has only been started now?"

"The procedures for the sand and gravel plant were completed quickly by you, but it was very slow to find someone to take over the operation. It has only been implemented now."

"Are you looking for someone from outside? Is there anyone in the village?"

"How do you say that?"

"You can do it."

"I'm young and don't have good trust in the village."

"Then who signed the agreement with you?"

Lang Zijian said that the person who signed the contract with Xiayan Village was the city's boss Ji Dewan, and the sand and gravel yard had a name, and it was called Xiayan Wanda Sand and Gravel Material Development Company.

Xing Yi was secretly surprised.

Ji Dewan intervened everywhere this time, and he moved so quickly that he had already intervened in the village.

Next, it is one thing to monopolize, suppress, bully the market, and sell at high prices to obtain profits in the production and operation of sand and gravel materials. Barbaric production and indiscriminate mining and excavation are more serious. The ecological environment of the sand and gravel production areas is directly destroyed. County Because of this, it was notified by the province. In the following years, the county made great efforts and paid a great price to restore it.

Something has to be done. The model of producing first and then perfecting, first mounting the horse and then assembling the saddle is devastating to sand and gravel mining. The sooner it is controlled, the better.

Xing Yi decided to go there in person.

The first is to block. If you can't block it, find a way to delay it. If it doesn't work, then find a way to interfere...

Xing Yi found out the date, and it happened to be Saturday. He took a farm bus at the station at 10:30 noon, then transferred to a tram in the countryside, and arrived at Xiayan Village at [-] p.m.

Xing Yi walked to the entrance of the village and bumped into Dong Huashan.

When Dong Huashan saw him, he stopped walking forward. When he approached and said hello, he started talking about the sand and gravel yard in Shangyan Village.

"Brother, I'm afraid there's going to be a problem with what you've worked so hard to help us with."

Xing Yi stopped and asked: "Take all the effort? What's the matter?"

"As for the problem of the sand and gravel quarry, didn't you sign with our village on behalf of Hongda Company? The contract is clearly written in black and white, and the rent of the gravel quarry will be paid on an annual basis. You don't know, right? I've been there twice. It’s happened twice, and both times I came back empty-handed.”

"What's going on? Tell me first?"

"The payment time stipulated in the contract has come. After all, we are a serious company. We don't ask you to send us rent. We should at least call and inform you. But they are very arrogant and keep silent. Wait. After half a month, I went and found Deputy Manager Lao Tan. He arranged for me to have tea and waited for him to go to the finance room to ask. Once I left, I never looked back. He sent someone to inform me that Manager Tan suddenly received a call from the county office. The meeting was announced and I was asked to come back next week. Well, I went there again next week and met Deputy Manager Xiao Tan at the door. This time he mentioned you, Xiao Xing. He said there was a problem with the contract. The person who signed the contract is nothing. It is an invalid contract. Who are you, signing on behalf of the company? Let me ask a few people at random to see if you are a person in the company. I said, you are the person who signed the contract? He refused. You should recognize the official seal. But he said that further investigation was needed to determine whether the official seal was true or false. I quarreled with him, and the top manager, named Sun, came. He spoke nicely and said that the rent would be paid in full. He asked me to give him a few days, but he didn’t know whether it was because there was no money in the account or because the accountant in charge of the money had left work. Anyway, he couldn’t give it that day. It was already after get off work time, so Manager Sun took me to a restaurant for dinner. Manager Sun This person is nice, and I can see that he is a good Bodhisattva, but your kindness cannot replace money, right?"
