Early the next morning.

Hai N Province, SanY City.

As the morning sun rises, in a construction site under construction, workers have walked out of the shed, began to perform their duties, put into their respective jobs, and then all kinds of large machinery also began to start, for a while, the roar of the machine is endless.

On the nineteenth floor of a certain building, Yang Peng was wearing a hard hat and holding a wrench in his hand, standing in front of a flawed scaffolding, clanging and beating.

"Supervisor Yang, Mr. Ji has explained several times, saying that you won't be allowed to do this kind of dangerous work, why did you come up again?" After a small package foreman recognized Yang Peng, he walked to Yang Peng's side and handed over a cigarette.

"It's okay, people from the Safety Supervision Bureau are going to come to the construction site to inspect today, so I will make preparations in advance. Yang Peng grinned, turned around, and continued to mend the loose screws with his not very flexible fingers.

"I'm really convinced, you said that you are a financial supervisor, you don't sit in the office and drink tea, but run the construction site all day long, and specialize in doing this kind of dirty and tiring work, what are you trying to do?" the contractor sighed, looking helpless.

"Hehe, since the boss can trust me, I have to do a good job. Yang Peng smiled very honestly: "I promised him that when I came here, I would definitely not drop the chain for him!"

"On this construction site, there are at least four or five real relatives in the boss's family, and to be honest, I feel that several of them are tied together, and none of them are as concerned about the construction site as you are. The foreman looked at Yang Peng's sweat-soaked hurdle vest and praised it from the bottom of his heart.

Half an hour later, Yang Peng walked around the construction site, and after confirming that there were no potential safety hazards, he took the elevator downstairs, returned to the office, and dialed Yang Dong's phone.

......

On the other side, Yang Dong, who had just arrived in front of the garden planning office of L Shunkou District, saw Yang Peng's phone calling, and pressed the answer button easily: "Brother!"

"Eh!" Yang Peng heard his brother's voice, and a warm smile bloomed on his face: "I just arrived at the construction site recently, and I didn't have time to call you, how are you, are you good?"

"Well, it's good, I closed the fast food restaurant, and now I'm partnering with Luohan and Tianchi to do a little business together. Yang Dong responded with a smile and didn't say much about the project.

"If I hadn't gambled back then, you'd probably have graduated from college and become a doctor by now. Yang Peng heard that Yang Dong had started a small business by himself, and his eyes were slightly red: "Xiaodong, my brother is not promising, and you have been wronged." ”

"Brother, you tell me this, see the outside, as far as I am concerned, as long as you can settle down, I am happier than graduating from college. Yang Dong smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, even if I don't become a doctor, I can live well." ”

"Well, I'm sure you have the ability. As Yang Peng spoke, his eyes glanced out at random, and he found that the car of the Safety Supervision Bureau had already driven into the construction site: "Okay, I have something here, I won't tell you first!"

"Okay, then you pay attention to your body!"

"Don't worry!"

"Duh... Toot ......"

After the two finished talking, Yang Dong hung up the phone and walked side by side with Lin Tianchi to the office building of the garden department.

......

Landscape Division, Planning Division, office.

"Section Chief Meng, hello, I'm Yang Dong of Sanhe Greening, we talked on the phone before!" Yang Dong took the initiative to introduce himself after meeting Section Chief Meng, who was in charge of the greening project.

"Lin Tianchi!" After Lin Tianchi next to him finished saying his name, he handed over the black plastic bag in his hand, revealing the Chinese cigarettes inside: "Section Chief Meng, we are new to here, and I am sorry for you to take care of it!"

"yes, I see. Section Chief Meng sat behind the desk, nodded his head without being salty, reached out and found a document on the table, and pushed it forward: "You take a look, if there is no objection, sign it." ”

"Well, thank you!" Yang Dong picked up the planning book on the table, and after a few cursory glances, he suddenly frowned: "Section Chief Meng, did you make a mistake in this document?"

"Mistaken, what?" "Section Chief Meng glanced at Yang Dong and asked in a stiff tone.

"Before that, we took a look at the nearby construction site and found that all the greening trees were ginkgo biloba and kapok of the arbor genus, but what is written in our document is the pine tree?"

"That's right, it's pine. Section Chief Meng nodded: "According to the requirements of the superiors, this time the greening of street trees needs to have more than three types of trees, in addition to ginkgo biloba and kapok, a batch of pine trees must be planted, and the project taken over by Xinfan greening has not started for a long time, so this third type of tree will naturally fall on your heads." ”

"But in this way, our project cost will inevitably increase. Although he doesn't know the specific value of a pine tree, it is definitely more expensive than a tree like ginkgo.

"When the tender was first introduced, it was already written in the tender that the tree species for the additional street trees were designated by the garden department, you don't know. Section Chief Meng frowned and choked Yang Dong, and continued: "As of today, it is the last day of the signing of the winning bidder, you seize the time to ponder, if you feel that your company can do this job, you will sign it, if you can't do it, count you as a failed bidder, and we will reassign it." ”

Yang Dong was instinctively stunned when he saw Section Chief Meng's attitude and tone, and knew in his heart that the change in the contract in his hand must have been caused by someone behind his back.

"Can you sign it! You can say something happy!" Seeing that Yang Dong had been hesitating in place, Section Chief Meng scolded him.

"Yes!" Yang Dong gritted his steel teeth, glanced at the other payments on the document, and after confirming that it was correct, he picked up the pen, signed his name on the last page, and stamped the official seal.

......

Outside the garden office.

"Our contract has been tampered with. Yang Dong stood in front of the door, looking at the endless stream of vehicles on the street, and opened his mouth with a gloomy face.

"You mean, Liu Baolong?" Lin Tianchi suddenly became transparent.

"It must be him, when he talked to me a few days ago, he said to give me a three-day period, I didn't think so at the time, I thought he would play with us, but I didn't expect him to use the official relationship. Yang Dong sighed worriedly: "In this way, we don't even have the strength to parry." ”

"Otherwise, what about looking for Lu Jianwei? He has been in the greening industry for so many years, and he must have something to do with the official position. ”

"Forget it, Lu Jianwei is an old fox, and he is also an old fox who is as timid as a mouse, at this time, it is useless for us to look for him, he will not care. Yang Dong waved his hand and interrupted Lin Tianchi's words: "We have to figure out how to deal with this matter ourselves." ”

"What can we do?" Lin Tianchi rubbed his face irritably: "I contacted a lot of tree dealers a while ago, but I have never heard of anyone selling pine trees!"

"Let's go, go to the construction site first, and then go back and study. Yang Dong finished speaking, and while walking in the direction of the van, he dialed Wang Xu's phone.

......

Flood Bay, inside a tent at the construction site.

Yang Dong, Lin Tianchi, Luo Han, and Wang Xu sat on the simple bed and discussed the project.

"Why did you sign a contract like this and come back?" Wang Xu looked at the planning book that Yang Dong got back, and felt his brain buzz.

"If you don't sign it, you can't do it, Liu Baolong has a relationship behind his back, and we have been framed. Yang Dong saw Wang Xu's expression and showed a helpless smile: "What, it's not easy to do?"

"It's not that it's hard to do, it's that it can't be done. Wang Xu looked at the terms of the contract with a sad face.

"Can't you do it? Isn't it just planting trees, what's so bad?" Luo Han asked indifferently when he heard this.

"It's much more cumbersome than you think, and the most intuitive part is first reflected in the price. Wang Xu sighed: "Pinus tabuliformis, in the soil moisture and soil moisture insufficiency, as well as poor aeration, are more difficult to grow, even if it can survive, the growth rate is relatively slow, other tree species can form a DBH in more than ten years, pine often takes thirty or forty years, or even forty or fifty years to become a tree, it is precisely because the growth cycle of the pine tree is too long, so the cost is high." ”

"How much worse can it be?" Yang Dong asked with a frown.

"It's hard to say. Wang Xu shook his head with a bitter face: "Dongzi, to tell you the truth, I have been pouring trees for five years, but I have never touched the pine tree business once." ”

"Why?"

"In our local area, I really haven't heard of any nursery, is for the cultivation of Pinus tabuliformis, this kind of tree has a long growth period, maybe a person in his thirties planted the tree, until the person is gone, the tree has not yet grown, you say, who will do this kind of loss-making business?"

"If I go to other places, can I buy this kind of tree?" Lin Tianchi asked without giving up.

"Difficult. Wang Xu said bluntly: "The growth year of the pine tree is too long, although the selling price is very high, but after careful calculation, the benefits generated are not as cost-effective as planting trees, so let me tell you, most of the pine trees on the market are illegally felled trees, and few people specifically plant them, even if there are really people who are willing to cultivate pine trees, I can't think of anyone who can provide as many as five hundred." ”

"In other words, we can't buy a tree if we want to spend money?" Luo Han finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

"That's not necessarily, if you are willing to spend money, there is still hope, but our original start date will definitely be postponed for a while. Wang Xu didn't say it to death: "If you want to buy so many trees at one time, it must be useless, and the final result must be to purchase in many places, even so, it is difficult to say whether you can make up 500 trees." ”

"Brother Wang, now that we have taken over the work, it's useless to care about anything else, so let's do it, in the past few days, you have been a little tired, help contact the tree procurement, and pull the first batch of trees over as soon as possible." Yang Dong looked at Wang Xu and said decisively: "No matter what, we have to set up the signboard first, so I can accept this first batch of trees, the price is high." ”

"Well, I did my best. Wang Xu nodded in agreement.

When everyone's words fell, Lin Tianchi looked at the neatly parked machinery outside, as well as the dozens of workers sitting at the entrance of the tent basking in the sun, with a sad face: "Dongzi, the labor on the construction site now, plus the cost of the machinery, is almost 15,000 a day, otherwise let's disperse the people first, and then call the people back when Brother Wang connects the tree?"

"No, the more times like this, the more we can't let outsiders see that we don't have a tree in our hands, otherwise Liu Baolong will take advantage of the loophole, and then I want to hire people, I'm afraid it will be even more impossible to hire, now these workers and machinery, none of them can go, even if they don't work, the wages are still open, these people, we have to grit our teeth and raise." ”

"Dongzi, since the matter is decided, then I won't stay, you are busy, I will deal with the matter of the tree, and try to help you grab some time. Wang Xu saw Yang Dong's worried look and stood up with his handbag.

"Okay, I'll send you!" Yang Dong nodded slightly, took Lin Tianchi and Luo Han, and accompanied Wang Xu to the outside of the tent.
