When I told Yuan Zheng on the phone that the matter of Kaiqu Coal Mine was almost done, he couldn't contain his excitement as if he had just finished his work. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

I said coldly, "Let's find a place to meet." ”

"Come to my office now!"

"No, find another place."

"Starbucks under Shin Kong Place?"

"Okay, see you in half an hour."

Yuan Zheng's hair was a little messy, he didn't take care of it, and his spirit was very different from before.

He asked me what I was drinking, I said no, there were still things, and I left after a few words.

Seeing my gloomy face, he had already guessed three points: "What happened to this coal mine?" ”

I wanted him to spit it out on his own, so I said, "What do you know about this coal mine?" ”

"I ...... I just heard a friend talk about it, and I thought there was something in the news, so I ...... I'll tell you, how do I know this. His tone became sneaky, not like the usual swaggering Beijing recalcitrant.

"Why are you so concerned about this open coal mine this time, and why? There have been many public crises before, and I haven't seen you Yuan Zheng pay attention to the weakness at the bottom of society, what is going on with you this time? Well? ”

"My friend is doing environmental welfare, I just want to help him." The more he talked, the more unconfident he became.

"How many years have we all known each other? I don't know your character, but if it had nothing to do with your personal interests, you would be so attentive to it? I came to you today, not for answers, but for attitudes. ”

He lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

I said to the waiter two glasses of lemonade.

Yuan Zheng picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, which was not at all like his style, obviously, he was a little out of control.

"Good! I'm telling you, you're a smart man, and I can't hide it from you. This matter should start with the Rough Stone Group. In the past few years, my dad wanted to make the company bigger and expand rapidly. In the past two years, there have been more and more unfinished buildings in third- and fourth-tier cities, and off-plan developers have run away, and the real estate that could have been completed has also been unfinished because of the depletion of funds. Recently, executives of several prominent real estate companies in Beijing have resigned. More than 100 key management personnel of about 70 listed real estate companies in the A-share market have resigned. ”

"Don't talk to me about those professional things, I don't understand, let's put it simply."

"The main head of the Rough Stone Group is real estate, that is to say, in this environment, the profits of the Rough Stone Group are falling sharply in the past two years, and I was scared when I saw the annual statement. My dad spends all day worrying about the land he has hoarded, and if this continues, the Rough Stone Group will probably be finished. I know that in your mind, I am a rotten dragon who can only pick up girls, but after meeting Fu Wenxin, I began to change myself. ”

"You're not me, how do you know what you are in my mind, don't talk about this, let's get to the point."

"Sometimes, my dad didn't sleep at two or three in the morning, sitting there sighing, I was always rebellious and willful as a child, and I never thought about him. Working overtime that day, I saw that the old man's gray hair was getting deeper and deeper, and suddenly something hit my heart, and I wanted to do something for him. Rough Stone is bidding for a piece of gold land in the East Third Ring Road, and for more than a year, the whole company has been busy with this matter, up and down, you know, if you can get this land, the Rough Stone Group can take the opportunity to be reborn, if you can't get it, the future will be hanging. Among so many real estate companies, the only one that can compete with the Rough Stone Group this time is Wang's Real Estate, you should know that this company is a subsidiary of Wang's Chemical. To put it bluntly, Wang Yi and his father relied on power to support it. In terms of strength, they are rising stars, not as good as the Rough Stone Group, but ......"

"I know, you are afraid that Wang's Real Estate will take this piece of land by unspoken rules, so you have an in-depth understanding of the various backgrounds of Wang's Real Estate and Wang's Chemical, and found the clues of Wang's Chemical's indiscriminate discharge of chemical wastewater, you think this is an opportunity to knock down Wang's Group with one punch, so you found me."

"Xiaoyu, please, I will agree to whatever you want, you know that I have never begged anyone. I went to several media reporters before, and when they checked, they all flinched, I really don't know what to do, I can only look for you. This time I want to save my dad and do something worthwhile for him, he really can't afford to lose this land. I know your character, and if I tell the truth, you will definitely think that I am using you, and you will not look into it. ”

"Aren't you using me if you don't tell me the truth?!" As I had expected, I couldn't accept that a friend I really wanted to do such a trick on my head.

I couldn't suppress my tone, and the people at the coffee shop immediately turned their attention to us.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide that." He kept his head down and didn't look at me.

This is the first time that Yuan Zheng has been so yang. The state of impotence was presented to me.

I stood up and said, "This investigation report has been published in the public, but I am not doing all this for you, but for the old women and children who are struggling under the canal mine and have no way to ask for help." And you guys, just a bunch of sitting in fancy offices and playing with money. Son, I never felt how noble you were, the you ate and drank and the urine were all blood squeezed from below, and what you chewed was the life at the bottom. You are no different from that Wang Yi's father and son, so you can do it yourself! ”

Yuan Zheng was speechless and continued to lower his head.

Walking out of the café, my chest was like a wire wrapped around it, extremely depressed.

What would I do if I were Yuan Zheng and faced with the situation he was in? People are sometimes not so great and selfless, looking at the world and thinking about problems from the position of others everywhere.

At that time, I only remembered that he had deceived me, which undermined my understanding of the word "friend", and I thought that this person had entered his own blacklist.

Over the years, although we have had a lot of good memories together, maybe those memories are destined to belong to the innocence of the ignorant era, once it melts into the reality of entanglement of interests, the so-called innocent chicken flies eggs, and only chicken feathers are left.

After the publication of the Kaiqu Coal Mine Wastewater Discharge Incident, New Speech quickly became the focus of heated discussions on the Internet, and public opinion intervened, attracting the attention of the authorities.

Half a month later, Wang Yi's father, Wang Kun, was "shuanggui" and handed over to justice. Wang Yi was also investigated. Wang's Chemical is facing restructuring and transfer.

The Rough Stone Group got its wish and got the golden land in the East Third Ring Road.

The wastewater from the open canal coal mine was pumped out for chemical treatment, the coal mine was completely sealed, and the dilapidated buildings in the mine area were blasted and demolished.

A team of scientists travels to the village below the mine to test the quality of the soil, while the local government prepares a plan for the relocation of the villagers.

Lu Zehuan and I came to the village again, and the old man who had left the money for him recognized us, and he was grateful, and said to the villagers that these two are our great benefactors, come and thank our great benefactors.

They took out local products such as black dates and asked us to take them. We only grabbed a few and told them to put it away.

Lu Zehuan looked at these simple people in front of him, tears rolling in his eyes.

It seems that everything has been settled, but I can't be happy, because not every dirty thing can be exposed and attract the attention of public opinion.

How many people are still drinking carcinogenic sewage and breathing filthy air in the here and now, and who cares about them.

Kundera's reason for not signing is also related to this sense of powerlessness.

When I went home, I passed by a family, this family only has two sisters and brothers, the elder sister is 15 years old, the younger brother is 9 years old, my mother died of illness in the early years, and my father died of lung cancer two years ago.

I understood that my obligation was to go back and write a follow-up report on the waste water discharge incident in the Kaiqu Coal Mine, and then describe the tragic life of the two sisters in the article emotionally, which attracted public attention.

And then what?

And then there was no then.

In this era, people are prone to compassion for concrete things, but they are never willing to delve into the root cause of this tragedy.

Without in-depth inquiry, such mercy becomes cheap.

Lu Zehuan and I left all the money on our bodies to them, and when we walked to the station, we found my mother. It's over, this time I'm excited to give all the cash on my body, and I didn't leave the fare home.

I can't go back and say to the two sisters, "I'm sorry, little friend, can you give back a little bit of the love we just gave to my uncle?"

They will surely think silently: two strange horses.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally found a fifty or sixty-year-old rosacea man in a commissary, and Lu Zehuan whispered to me: "He doesn't look like Chen Dagun from the commissary in Qiaobian Town." ”

I really look like it.

The rosacea man knew that the two of us were investigating the Kaiqu Coal Mine, and said with a smile: "You two are really good, we have been making trouble for so long, and you will solve the problem as soon as you come." Nice lad! ”

We told the rosacea man about the fact that there was no fare, said that the network transferred money to him, and then took some cash from him and took the bus to the station.

He thought for a while and said, "Yes, but you have to give me a little labor fee, don't you say, it's not easy for me to do a small business, everyone understands each other, hehehe." ”

He smiled, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, why was that face so hateful.

In the end, I transferred 250 yuan to him, and he gave us 200 yuan in cash. There's no way, just treat the 50 yuan as a waste.

When we left, he smiled happily and said, "Slow down, little brother, don't give it away." "If Lao Tzu sits on the ground and earns 50 yuan for nothing, I will laugh very happily.

His yellow teeth stink.

On the way home, Lu Zejun and I were both silent, maybe he was also thinking about the choice between Kundera and Javier, and Gustav? The unceremonious book written by Le Pen - "The Rabble".
