Fate is impermanent, and all kinds of changes.

As the saying goes, a few families are happy and a few are sad.

During the period when Liu Baolong dealt with the aftermath of the Ming father and son, Yang Dong had stayed in the urban area of L Shunkou for a few days, and under the guidance of Bi Fang, Yang Dong came into contact with many people, and most of them were engaged in the greening industry, but when Bi Fang introduced these people to Yang Dong, he only said that everyone should make friends, but did not mention the project.

L Shunkou, in a hotel room.

"Dongzi, in the past few days, we have spent almost 50,000 yuan just on the money for the settlement, but the project has not made any progress at all, and it is not a way to go on like this. Lin Tianchi sat opposite Yang Dong, full of sadness, Sanhe Company's current business, there is only one flood bay project, in order to save expenses, Yang Dong did not hire redundant employees, and the financial and accounting matters are also in charge of Lin Tianchi, at this time, seeing that the matter has not been done, so much money has been spent, Lin Tianchi is really distressed.

"Hehe, you can't be in a hurry about this kind of thing, when Bi Fang introduced those people to us, he introduced them as friends, you said, if we don't put the relationship in place, can people help us do things. Yang Dong drank tea and responded with a smile.

"I don't object to you making friends, but you also have to make some useful people, such as that Hao Fatzi, you said that we are doing greening, he is a sand opener, the two sides have no intersection at all, you are so close to him, what is the meaning?"

"By the way, if you don't talk about Hao Fatzi, I forgot. Yang Dong heard the person mentioned by Lin Tianchi, and grinned: "Today is Hao Fatzi's birthday, and you asked Zhang Ao to take two thousand yuan in the evening and go over to write a gift." ”

"Just a birthday, give two thousand?" Lin Tianchi heard this number, and felt that his distressed basket was about to twitch.

"How can there be no incense to worship ghosts and gods, send it, this kind of money can't be saved. Yang Dong nodded decisively: "Since we know each other, let's strike while the iron is hot and deal with the relationship, now we are just starting out, the circle of friends itself is narrow, at this stage, it doesn't matter if you make less money, but if you have fewer friends, we won't go far in the future." ”

"Okay, I'll let Huang Doudou and the two of them go together. Lin Tianchi took out his mobile phone with a little distress.

"Write a ceremony, what are you going to do with the two of you?" Yang Dong asked casually.

", you let Huang Doudou be at home by himself, then he buys a boxed lunch, won't it cost ten more yuan, I'll let him eat with Zhang Ao, and then when the game is over, pick up some good leftovers, pack a few and take them back, you can save a little is a little." When Lin Tianchi spoke, he had already finished telling Zhang Ao about this matter on WeChat.

"You're really going to be able to do it. Yang Dong was speechless when he heard this.

"A red thread and two flowers, industrious and thrifty do not divide the family, you, just don't know the price of firewood and rice, don't look at our company now there are few people, but this day people eat horses to feed, which is not money, I tell you, now every penny spent by the company, I feel like a needle in the basket. Lin Tianchi gave a very vivid analogy.

"Then if I continue to spend a little more money, it will be equivalent to stuffing a hedgehog in your trouser pocket. Yang Dong grinned.

"If you want to say that, I really won't fight with you!" Lin Tianchi nodded seriously.

"Tonight, you make an appointment with Erqing again, let's have a meal together, and I'll talk to him about the tree. "Yang Dong said that this Erqing is a tree dealer, and he was also introduced by Bi Fang, and after a few days of contact, Yang Dong and the others are not bad.

"Oh, you're finally doing something serious!" Lin Tianchi finally smiled when he heard this, rummaging through Erqing's phone number in the phone book.

......

In the evening, Yang Dong and Lin Tianchi changed into clean clothes, drove a broken van, and rushed to the Sichuan restaurant that had made an appointment with Erqing.

Twenty minutes later, we met in the private room of the People's Hotel.

Erqing is about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, sitting at the table at the moment, looking at Yang Dong and Lin Tianchi with a smile: "I found that you two are really quite warriors, it's been a week, you don't drink every day, you are confused three times a day, and you are stunned that there is nothing wrong." ”

Lin Tianchi grinned: "Brother Qing, you can really pull calves, we are not beaten with iron, don't you vomit when you drink too much, but when you vomit, I didn't let you see it." ”

"Well, if you want to say that, I really don't fight with you, you drank too much the night before yesterday, and I still remember the matter of picking up the waiter's pants in the song hall. Erqing grinned: "That little wine made you drink, so you had to drag the waiter to the corridor, saying why you want to scare him, and the children were scared to cry." ”

"I really drank too much that day, and I looked like the girl who accompanied me, but after picking up my pants, I found that he was older than me, and I was scared at that time. Lin Tianchi grinned and responded without shame.

"Hehe, what do you mean today, it's a life and death situation again?" Erqing looked at the empty seat next to him, and smiled: "Are you going to fill me with one of them, and let me go out to pick up my pants once?"

"Brother Qing, I came out of you today, not just to drink, but to ask you for something. Yang Dong took advantage of the cooking and chatted with Erqing.

"Is there a shortage of trees on the construction site?" Erqing asked bluntly.

"How do you know?" Lin Tianchi was surprised.

"As I said, you are a greener, I am a tree seller, since you have something to ask me, then I can't help you except trees. Erqing finished his words and looked at Yang Dong: "What kind of trees are missing?"

"Pinus tabuliformis. "Because of the identity of Erqing's tree dealer, so recently, Yang Dong has always been in a relationship with Erqing, intentionally or unintentionally, and when he saw Erqing's questioning at this moment, he directly told the matter.

"How many Pinus tabuliformis trees are there?"

"Four hundred and five. ”

"Tsk!" After listening to Yang Dong's words, Erqing sighed a little worriedly.

"Brother Qing, is there no play?" Lin Tianchi saw Erqing's expression and interjected.

"If you want trees, I have as many trees as you want, but I really don't have them in my hands. Erqing thought about it and shook his head in response.

"Brother Qing, you can help me think of a way, this batch of trees, we are really in a hurry, if we can't buy it again, the project will be delayed." Lin Tianchi insisted unwillingly.

Erqing frowned and thought for a few seconds, then raised his head: "If you really want to do this, it's not that it can't be operated, it's just that it's not easy to organize." ”

"Brother Qing, why don't I understand your words?" Yang Dong asked puzzled as he listened to Erqing's vague tone.

"......" After Erqing heard the sound, he didn't go around the bend with Yang Dong, tapped the table with his fingers, and said softly: "Dongzi, if the tree is not a good way, do you dare to ask for it?"

After listening to Erqing's words, Yang Dong sat on the chair and did not move, nor did he take the initiative to answer.

Erqing stretched out his hand and lit a cigarette, and continued: "Let me tell you the truth, in fact, more than eighty percent of the pine trees bought and sold in the market are stolen. ”

After listening to Erqing's words, Yang Dong's heart instantly cleared, and he finally understood what it meant to be not a good way.

"If you let me keep you busy, I can only contact you with such a tree, and the advantage of this kind of tree is that it is cheap, and I won't talk about the disadvantages. ”

"Brother Qing, what is the price of this kind of tree?"

"Including the freight, it's about two thousand four or five each. ”

"So cheap?" Hearing that the price given by Erqing was nearly one thousand and a half lower than the regular purchase price on the market, Lin Tianchi was thrilled.

"This kind of tree is stolen, except for the labor and equipment costs of digging the tree, it is basically a non-capital transaction, and the price is naturally low. Erqing's voice fell, and he didn't say anything else.

"Brother Qing, is this job done by you or by someone else?" Yang Dong raised his head and asked.

"That must have been done by someone else, you know, in recent years, I have made a little money because of the upside-down tree, and I am already planning to change careers, although we have a good relationship, but this kind of risky thing, I definitely can't accompany you to talk nonsense. Erqing finished his words very realistically, and continued to smile: "If you really have a heart, I can help you introduce some people." ”

"Brother Qing, what is the relationship between this person and you?" Yang Dong asked again.

"Hehe, the people who do our job basically have no friends, everyone pinched each other too much for some interests, if I didn't want to quit this circle, he might not be able to believe me. Erqing replied with a smile.

"Brother Qing, then this matter will trouble you. Yang Dong was relieved when he heard that Erqing had a general relationship with that person, and at the same time made a decision in his heart, planning to buy the stolen trees according to Erqing's statement, not only because of the low price of this kind of tree, but also because he really has no other way, but buying this kind of tree, there will definitely be risks, Yang Dong is also afraid that Erqing will introduce himself to a friend who has a good relationship with him, and when something happens, he can't explain to Erqing.

"Hehe, okay, then I'll call him now and call him over, there are a lot of people, and the drinking is also lively. Erqing took out his phone.

......

The other side.

Zhang Ao and Huang Doudou, according to Lin Tianchi's instructions, were driving another broken van of the company to the hotel where Hao Fatzi held a birthday banquet.

Inside the car.

Huang Doudou held his mobile phone, and after chatting with WeChat for a while, he poked Zhang Ao's arm: "Hey, Xiaoao, you accompany me to pick up someone." ”

"Pick up someone, who are you picking?" Zhang Ao asked casually.

"You stop. ”

"Squeak!"

Zhang Ao braked and parked the van on the side of the road: "What's wrong?"

"Fuck, I fucking said the girl I picked up was Ni Tingting, you stop doing chicken feathers. Huang Doudou glanced at the location sent on WeChat: "It's not far from here, it's in the district government." ”

"You're talking about the woman you caught crabs for her the other day. Zhang Ao reacted.

"Yes, that's her. Huang Doudou smiled: "Just now she told me on WeChat that she was in a sad mood today and wanted me to accompany her, don't you feel it, her words are full of extremely straightforward sexual temptation?"

"You can pull JB down. After hearing this, Zhang Ao put the car in gear again and continued to drive in the direction of the hotel: "You have been hooking up with her for four or five years, if you are really capable, you would have done it a long time ago, and you still have to wait until now." ”

"Oh, you're going to take me on a pick-up trip, I feel like there's a door today, and she's showing me the tattoo on the root of her thigh." Huang Doudou gestured to Zhang Aobi at the photo sent by the other party: "She also asked me, can I have some wine with her tonight, you say, like her, she is a big man, looking for me to drink at night, what does this mean?"

"Even if she can talk nonsense to you today, you can't pick her up now, what are we going to do, don't you count it in your heart?" Zhang Ao glanced at the photo that Ni Tingting sent to Huang Doudou, and felt that Huang Doudou was really not bragging.

"Isn't it because we are going to eat that I let you pick her up? Huang Doudou said very reasonably, and then took out a few dozen yuan in his pocket: "My salary hasn't been opened this month, and this amount of money is not enough to make an appointment. ”

"With a gift, go to the servants?" Zhang Ao was a little confused.

"Hao Fatzi is also a big brother in society, and if he has a birthday, he can still send us a pair of chopsticks. Huang Doudou pushed Zhang Ao's arm: "Brother Ao, you know, I have been thinking about Ni Tingting for several years, whether I can complete the dream trip tonight, it's all up to you, Brother Ao, help!"

"Oh, I'm convinced. Zhang Ao was so grinded by Huang Doudou, sighed helplessly, turned the car around, and rushed to Ni Tingting's location.
