Fujiki Company could only ask the legal department to sit down with the villagers to negotiate, and the villagers put forward a new demand, which was to compensate each household directly affected by 1 million, and each household not directly affected to pay 300,000 yuan, a one-time compensation. A year and a half later, the company stopped mining, and the villagers had financial security.

According to the calculation, 50 households need to be compensated 50 million, and another 150 families need to be compensated 45 million, and the total compensation amount is as high as nearly 100 million. If they didn't agree, the villagers legally broke down the car, making the company miserable.

Fujiki Company approached Ling Hulan to discuss the matter to see if there was a legal solution to it. Although the rattan company is in accordance with the law, it is clearly not in line with local justice. Reputation is secondary, Ling Hulan doesn't have time to go to such a remote place to deal with and mediate this matter, and judging from the attitude, this is probably not something that can be handled in three or five days.

Cao Yun said with a smile: "When you go here to do errands, it seems that you have to bring your own tent and food." ”

Ling Hulan nodded: "According to the people of Fujiki Company, it is not impossible. ”

"Huh?"

"It is said that the villagers are united and do not sell anything to the people of the Fujiki Company. The village committee, which has signed a mining agreement with the company, says it is neutral. For them, the rattan company has already given the full mining fee, and they will not want to offend the villagers. Ling Hulan said: "The case-handling environment is relatively bad, and this is secondary." The main thing is how to convince the villagers that Fujiki does not want to take the matter to court. ”

Cao Yun said: "There is only one way, and that is to divide them." ”

"That's right, that's what I thought, too. But to differentiate them, you need to understand them, and it takes a lot of time. Ling Hulan said: "Fujiki Company privately stated to me that it can pay up to 5 million compensation on the basis of the original compensation agreement. Your lawyer's fee is 5 million, and if the villagers give more, you will get less. ”

Cao Yun continued to smile bitterly: "It's not profitable." "It's impossible to post money, and you won't be so stupid. But five million is simply not enough. There is no way, the interests of the two sides are unequal. The Fujiki Company only has one and a half years of mining rights, and the loss to him if he gives up this year and a half is only tens of millions, so the Fujiki Company will never agree to the villagers' new agreement.

Ling Hulan said: "Considering the grace of Fujiki Company, I took the case. So no matter how well you handle this case or not, I will personally give you 300,000 lawyer fees. ”

If you change someone else, you have to resign, what's so embarrassing......

As far as Cao Yun knows, there is nothing to be embarrassed, Ling Hulan is because the rattan wood company has been an old customer for more than ten years, so she is willing to pay for Cao Yun to run.

Cao Yun nodded: "Okay, I heard that the name is Tangduo Lake, which is suitable for fishing." Since I'm blocked and Apricot is busy, I'll just give myself a vacation. ”

Ling Hulan said: "It's good. I'm serious about saying that you don't have to fix this. My purpose is to be able to explain my past to Fujiki. You have this reputation, and Fujiki Company also recognizes it, and it is normal that this kind of case cannot be handled. ”

Cao Yun said: "For the sake of my reputation, I should be positive. ”

Ling Hulan shook her head: "Even if you win, it is estimated that you won't add many points." This kind of case can't be in the news at all, and even if it is, you are standing on the side of unscrupulous enterprises and are unpopular with the people. Unless you can handle the case beautifully, at least it is a plus in the industry. So relax and take your girlfriend on a trip. It is said that the environment is still quite good. ”

Girlfriend? Cao Yun had a headache when he thought of having dinner with Lin Luo's father tomorrow night, Cao Yun said: "I'll understand the situation from the side and set off the day after tomorrow." ”

"Then I'm bothering you. ”

……

Seeing parents is a very serious matter, and logically speaking, it should be developed for a period of time, and it is more appropriate to meet parents after having a certain solid emotional foundation. However, since the elders in turn ask the juniors, there is definitely no reason to refuse.

Compared with Cao Yun's neat dress as if he went to the criminal court, Lin Luo was very casual, and he didn't even dress up and change his clothes. Lin Luo hadn't bought a car yet, so Cao Yun naturally became a driver. Along the way, Lin Luo found that Cao Yun's driving skills were quite good, which meant that Cao Yun drove very steadily. Looking at this second-hand car again, Lin Luo couldn't help but say: "I will take you to the hospital to measure your bone age another day, I always think you should be thirty-five years old." Honestly, are you misrepresenting your age?"

Cao Yun smiled and asked, "What's the matter, you dislike me?"

Lin Luo smiled: "Now the uncle is popular, and the cream is the dish of the housewives." ”

Cao Yun said: "My feeling is the opposite of you, I think I am stable on the outside and hot on the inside, what about you, how can I say it...... I'm usually quite lively, but I always feel like you have something on your mind. At one point I suspected it had something to do with your new boss, the Sith. ”

Lin Luo asked curiously, "Why is it related to the Sith?"

"What you just said, Uncle is popular. In his thirties, young and promising, steady, handsome, and talkative. Even a dead wife should be given extra points. ”

Lin Luo: "Doesn't sound like a suspicion...... How can I say it? During college, because it was the same mentor relationship, the Sith worked under the mentor, and there was more daily contact. The Sith took good care of me, but only in the relationship of ordinary friends, and we didn't even eat together. ”

"By the way, you haven't answered my question yet. ”

"What's the problem?"

Cao Yundao: "The last question I asked, when was the first time you fell in love, and how many times have you been in love?"

Lin Luo asked rhetorically, "Do you care about these very much?"

Cao Yun said: "I just want to know more about your situation. ”

Lin Luo shook his head: "No, you just care." You think you're at a loss. ”

Cao Yun said: "I didn't mean that. ”

Lin Luo said: "I don't know if it means this. The last time you sent me home to kiss me, you actually asked, how many boys have kissed me like this, which makes me so embarrassed and uncomfortable. ”

Cao Yun said: "I'm sorry. I just think you have a blank slate, that's why I ask. ”

"Blank?"

Cao Yundao: "That's right, you traveled in Europe to learn fashion design. But I found out that your network was only in your mentor's fashion design studio. Look at me, I haven't been in Dongtang for a long time, even if I don't have any special communication, I know a lot of people. ”

Lin Luo asked rhetorically again: "Is this a turning of the corner to find out my information? I have always believed that everyone should have their own privacy." Since I don't want to say it, I don't want to mention it, please don't ask again in the future. Lin Luo's tone was not kind.

"Okay. ”

After the two were quiet for a few minutes, Lin Luo asked, "Do you doubt me?"

"What do you suspect?"

"I don't know what you suspect about me?" Lin Luo asked, "I doubt that my love life is complicated, right?"

Cao Yun replied: "No." ”

Lin Luo didn't say anything, and was silent for a few minutes, each thinking about his own business, Lin Luo spoke again: "Since you didn't, why did you ask Hanzi to follow me and the Sith?"

If Cao Yun hadn't been in love with Lin Luo, the first question he thought of was: Why did you and Sith find out that Hanzi was following you?

It's just if, in fact, Cao Yun was surprised and asked, "Hanzi is following you and the Sith?"

Lin Luo regretted it as soon as she said it, but she was very dissatisfied with it, and she had some worries about her identity, so she should have held back, but because the atmosphere in the car was not good, she couldn't help but talk about it.

Lin Luo replied: "It seems so." ”

Cao Yun asked, "Is it to follow you, or to track the Sith, or to follow you?"

When Lin Luo heard this, he was very unhappy and asked: "What do you mean by this? You suspect that I have something to do with the Sith, I understand, and even I am very happy." But what do you mean by letting Hanko follow us?"

Cao Yun didn't want to answer, he originally meant to ask for details, and then contact Hanzi to ask about the situation. Lin Luo's rhetorical question showed great hostility, and Cao Yun was unhappy in his heart, and said, "It's not interesting, why are you so sensitive?"

"Am I sensitive or are you sensitive?"

"Stop, I don't want to fight. Cao Yun said.

"I don't want to. ”

Silence, continued silence, and the two of them each thought about their own business. Cao Yun is steady, but his heart is still very young, and he doesn't have much experience in love, this can be said to be the first time he has had a conflict with his girlfriend, which makes him very depressed in his heart. He even thought, even if Hanzi is stalking, don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Could it be that Lin Luo and Sith really have a story?

In Lin Luo's view, Cao Yun didn't trust her, not only digging up her past around the corner, but also suspecting that she had a relationship with the Sith. Just ask, and let people follow and investigate themselves, which is too much. How is it possible to develop a relationship if there is no basic trust between boyfriend and girlfriend?

The car arrived at the hotel, the two got out of the car, and Cao Yun gave the 20 yuan tip and car keys to the greeter. Although the car is not good, Cao Yun's income is not low, and it is quite worthwhile to exchange a very small cost for a politeness. If Cao Yun earns 5,000 a month, it is impossible for Cao Yun to tip.

Entering the elevator, Cao Yun said: "Tomorrow I am going to Mingtang on a business trip, it will take some time." ”

"Yes. ”

Cao Yun didn't want to say it, he wanted to explain that the time of his trip was uncertain, and he also wanted to explain the reason why he went to Mingtang. As soon as he heard Lin Luo's unconcerned response, he held back what he wanted to say.

No, she just expressed her dissatisfaction to Cao Yun, hoping that Cao Yun could correct her mistakes. But looking at Cao Yun's attitude, there is no sincerity.

Even though there was an awkward quarrel, the two still had a more tacit and harmonious relationship to welcome this dinner.

……

Lin Luo's father is named Bai Chen, and he is Bai Su's second son. Bai Chen met Lin Luo's mother during his early years of studying in Europe and the United States, and successfully proposed marriage in the romantic capital of France. After returning to the Eastern Tang Dynasty after marriage, Lin Luo's mother did not give Bai Su much face, she received Western education since she was a child, and she did not take the requirements of traditional women seriously. She is only polite and polite to Bai Su on the surface, and she will fight back tactfully against Bai Su's criticism, and even directly and decisively.

Less than a month after returning to Dongtang, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very tense. Under the mediation of the fourth son, the husband and wife moved out of the Bai family compound to live alone, and went back to the Bai family for a meal every month. Distance produces beauty, and in any case, there will be no major contradictions in the next few years. Until Lin Luo's mother gave birth to a daughter continuously.

Judging from the ancient thinking of the Chinese, this must be very wrong. Many people have said that the tradition of the ancestors must have his truth, men are inferior to women, and three wives and four concubines belong to the traditions of the ancestors. It's just that now people talk about tradition when they are in need, and stand on the moral high ground to criticize others. When one's own needs and traditions are violated, they ignore traditions and call them bad habits.

In the case of the country where the Eastern Tang Dynasty was located, because the end of World War II was not long ago, the proportion of men and women was unbalanced, and the status of women was still relatively low when Lin Luo's mother got married. Even now, even though it is a well-developed country, it still ranks more than 100 in the global ranking of women's status, and Gaoyan City is more than 90. There are also certain objective reasons why Gao Yan can rank more, such as the statement of 'ignorant girl', which forcibly increases the number of female politicians. From a legal point of view, the welfare and protection of women in the Eastern Tang Dynasty is much better than that of Gao Yan, which in turn confirms that the status of women in the Eastern Tang Dynasty is inferior to that of Gao Yan women.

The biggest reason for the divorce of Lin Luo's parents is because of Lin Luo's mother's health, and Lin Luo will be Lin Luo's mother's last child. Lin Luo's sister died in an accident at the age of twenty, and in fact, Lin Luo should be regarded as the eldest daughter of this family. After Lin Luo's father divorced, he married another girl and gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

There was no topic of conversation between father and daughter, and they didn't even have a serious conversation once. After Cao Yun politely greeted and sat down, he became the conductor between the two.

Bai Chen was like a qualified parent at the dinner, asking Cao Yun about his work, his family, and his mother's physical condition. Cao Yun answered them one by one.

Half of the dishes were eaten, and the father and daughter didn't talk a few words, but Cao Yun thought hard about the topic in order to relieve the embarrassment at the dinner table. However, Cao Yun didn't mention Bai Shuiyi, because Cao Yun didn't want Lin Luo to know that he was banned by the Bai family, which would deepen the conflict between father and daughter.

At the end, Lin Luo put forward the topic first: "Does today's dinner have anything to do with Bai Shuiyi?" Her words were very flat, not enthusiastic, not vicious. She has no feelings for the man in front of her. Her mother often talks about the golden time of love and marriage, in Lin Luo's mother's opinion, although her parents are divorced, Bai Chen is always Lin Luo's father, she did not arrange and slander Bai Chen, and even said good things for Bai Chen to a certain extent.

Lin Luo's mother went to Dongtang after the divorce, and with her conditions, there were many suitors, but there was no one who made her tempted, and she has been single until now.

Bai Chen nodded slowly: "Your grandmother is over seventy years old this year, it is impossible not to think about the future of the Bai family." Bai Shuiyi was supposed to be at the helm of the Bai family, but now he is dead. Death has to face the reality, the Bai family has two ideas, the first idea is to choose a successor from me and your uncle and uncle, due to the limited ability of our four brothers, and with our age, it is very difficult to study again. ”

Bai Chen: "The second idea is to have a comprehensive observation and understanding of the third generation of the Bai family. There is no general in Shu, Liao Hua is the vanguard, do you understand what I mean?"
