The thriving business of the mining farm has made our fortune more prosperous.

Success almost made us feel a little flustered.

The target of 1 million by the end of the year was also brought forward a few months later.

It is conceivable that two poor scholars are in a state of ecstasy after turning over in an instant after experiencing various life blows and emotional setbacks.

The pursuit of wealth has become the ultimate goal of the two of us for a while.

Every day, I expect more cars to come and more goods to be full.

In order to pull a few more truckloads of goods, we can even go on for a few nights without sleeping.

Selling a few more truckloads of material will be more exciting than giving us chicken blood!

Gradually, we felt that a piece of equipment was too slow, running 24 hours a day, and it couldn't meet our huge thirst for production.

Under these circumstances, I began to compromise on Daishi's opinion on expanding the size of the mining farm.

In view of the huge temptation of the market, combined with the actual situation of on-site environmental governance, coupled with the active advocacy of Dazhi, we have fully demonstrated, according to his idea through the administrative approval, added a set of equipment, expanded the production capacity, in this way, the business of the mining farm has become busier, I and he have to squat in the factory every day, deal with all kinds of problems, every day to watch the number of public accounts of the "great country ambition" company continues to grow, busy and happy.

The environment in the mining site is harsh, with roaring machines and dust.

Sometimes I stay at the construction site for an hour or two, and when I come back, I will be covered in dust, my face will become like a cat, and my nostrils, ears, eyes, and eyebrows will be covered with dust, as if a person is rolling in the dirt.

Although Dazhi and I have taken various measures to control dust, the effect is not ideal, and the environment around the mining site has also been affected to a certain extent, which is also something I have been worried about, but fortunately, we have all paid attention to this problem and actively responded to it, so that the situation has not been further deteriorated.

With abundant funds, our living conditions have been well improved, we have purchased office belongings, built beautiful staff dormitories, and have all kinds of living facilities.

Lying in the stuffy and humid tin room, bitten by mosquitoes, the days of being hungry but not even having a bowl of instant noodles are completely over.

However, the days at the mining site were quite boring, there was no entertainment, no internet, and Dazhi and I were isolated from the world every day, completely disconnected from city life.

Fortunately, we are very busy every day, so it feels like time flies, and in a flash, a few months have passed.

The book data of the Great Power Ambition Company reached 3 million.

We paid off the bank loan as planned, and Dazhi and I became veritable millionaires.

In order to facilitate the contact business, Dazhi and I purchased a Passat sedan in the name of the company.

In terms of the scope of the whole town, we are also a small boss on the rich side, and we often go to the county to do business, so in the whole county, when it comes to the big country ambition company, people will immediately mention the big country and the big ambition, and we have become a celebrity in the small county.

The most direct benefit that money can bring is that everything in the material world can be easily obtained.

This is the most immediate feeling.

The county seat is very small, and the consumption is not high, and every time Dazhi and I enter the city, we will receive special attention.

There are a few high-spending places in the small town, and we are all invited to sit at the table.

During that period of time, Dazhi and I felt that our aura had become different, and money seemed to have brought us an invisible power.

In the blink of an eye, due to the rainy season, the production in the mining farm has slowed down, and Dazhi and I have a lot of leisure.

It was a midsummer afternoon, and the weather was a little muggy.

There was a puff of water vapor in the air, and based on the experience of previous weather conditions, it seemed that a storm was coming.

Dazhi came back from the scene and found me, looking worried.

"Looks like it's going to rain again." After living in the mountains for such a long time, he is already familiar with the climate in the mountains.

"That's right, I guess the rain won't be light." I looked into the distance, watching the black clouds that kept gathering in the sky, slowly drifting from far and near.

"Holiday, huh?" , Dazhi glanced at me and asked for my opinion.

"I've been working overtime lately, and it's time for the equipment to stop, take a break."

"That's what I mean, let's rest for half a day." I'm thinking about it, and I'm really tired during this time.

"Okay, I'll inform the team."

Dazhi left in a hurry.

After a while, the equipment in the entire yard came to a complete halt and became quiet, and the drivers withdrew.

The execution of Dazhi is indeed extraordinary.

After dismissing the drivers of the equipment group, he immediately returned to my office.

"Big country boss, let's go too, shall we?" He leaned against the door, made a joke, and looked at me with a grin.

"Where are you going?" , I asked, sorting through the information at hand and looking up at him.

"Take a bath first, then go around the county town and ask the leaders to have a meal together."

"What leader?"

"From the county environmental protection department?"

A few days ago, I talked to him, and recently I want to take the time to invite the environmental protection leaders to have a meal together, and the environmental protection of the mining farm has always been my heart problem.

Dazhi is in charge of outreach, and every arrangement he makes is inseparable from the business of our mining farm.

So I'm guessing he must have made an appointment with the head of the EPA.

"You guessed it." , Dazhi is a little proud.

"A few days ago, I made a few turns through a friend, and finally made an appointment with a deputy director of the county environmental protection bureau, who is in charge of the production of our factory and mine."

"Okay, brother, it's important to communicate with the Environmental Protection Bureau, and we must have a good relationship with the Environmental Protection Department about the current situation of our mining farm." I fully agree with and appreciate the efficiency of Dazhi's work.

"Then what's the grind, let's go quickly, let's go now, to the county seat, it's just time for dinner, I have made an appointment with the director, the first time to eat, the two of us can't be late."

Great ambition urged me to go.

Sometimes, external liaison is very important.

Dazhi and I came to such a remote place to do things, and if we hadn't maintained a good relationship with the local area, we probably would have been driven away a long time ago.

We arranged and told the personnel left behind in the mining site to pay attention to rain prevention measures and pay attention to the equipment. I was ready to set off, and when I started the car, black clouds from far and near had drifted overhead, and the raindrops the size of beans began to fall like broken pearls.

Dazhi and I glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

It seems that the hero sees the same thing, and a storm is coming.

"The heavy rain is coming soon, we don't have to wash the car, and we save 20 oceans!" , I sat in the car and quipped.

"The car doesn't need to be washed, our brothers can be neat, it is said that the director we want to see at night is still a beautiful woman." Dazhi grimaced at me, started the car, and said to me mysteriously.

"If we go to the leaders of the Environmental Protection Bureau in dust like we did when we were working, it is estimated that our mining farm will be closed tomorrow."

"Haha, that makes sense, we first have to make sure that we are clean and environmentally friendly."

Dazhi's words made me laugh.

Yes, he has a point, the ancients said, "See who says what he says"! Very philosophical.

When you see the leader of the Environmental Protection Bureau, you must be clean and neat, otherwise, when you meet with others, the leader sees that the boss of a mining company is so sloppy, and the company's environmental governance will definitely not be much better, not to mention that the female leader who is about to meet is still the most women themselves have a habit of cleanliness.

When we arrived in the county, the rain became lighter, and it was just the time when the government office got off work.

We parked our car outside the gate of the county environmental protection bureau, and Dazhi began to call the leaders who had made the appointment.

After a while, Dazhi received a phone call, and he got out of the car and walked to the courtyard to pick up someone.

I sat in the car and waited for him.

After a while, Dazhi and a woman in red were talking and laughing, and walked out of the compound of the Environmental Protection Bureau with an umbrella.

The woman in red looks so familiar!

As she got closer, I couldn't help but go from astonishment to heartbeat, and finally almost stopped breathing.

"Ah Hong!"

"The deputy director of the county environmental protection bureau turned out to be Ah Hong!"

......

The moment she opened the car door, I felt petrified, stiff, and I didn't know where to put my hands and feet.

"You!? ......", seeing me sitting in the back seat of the car, Ah Hong didn't seem to expect it, and she was stunned all of a sudden.

"Oh, Director, let me introduce you, this is the director of our Great Power Ambition Company, Comrade Great Power." Dazhi didn't notice our abnormality, and he politely introduced me to Ah Hong.

Ah Hong reacted immediately, and it seemed that in an instant, her attitude had changed a hundred and eight degrees, and her face changed from surprise to coldness.

She politely held out her hand.

"Hello, comrade of the great powers, it is a good thing to meet you."

She smiled politely at me.

"Oh, oh, hello, hello! Fortunately, fortunately. I hurriedly got up and shook her hand politely, feeling that her hand was surprisingly cold.

Dazhi closed the car door for Ah Hong, put away the umbrella, walked around the body, got into the car, and started the car, he had been busy introducing the guests and hosts, and he didn't notice my pale face and Ah Hong's rich facial expressions.

I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and Ah Hong is completely like two people compared to the period of the Yellow Mansion.

She was as cold as ice, her eyes were completely devoid of the clear innocence of her student days, her eyes became sharp, and she seemed to be able to see everything.

She is already the deputy director of the county environmental protection bureau, which shows that she is as good as ever in the workplace.

The experience of doing business in the mining farm for so long and dealing with all kinds of officials in the county has given me a deeper understanding of the style and identity background of local officials, and Ah Hong is so young that she can reach this height in just ten years, you can imagine how much price and effort she has paid.

Hong sat in the front seat, seemingly completely oblivious to me and my gaze at her.

She sat upright, completely like a leader, as if she had never seen me, and did not know me at all.

She talked to Dazhi without a match, her eyes were level with the front, her face was cold, and a hint of a professional smile appeared from time to time.

I had mixed feelings and kept silent, careful not to spoil the conversation between Dazhi and her.

Outside the car window, the rain had stopped at some point.

I turned my head to look at the street scene of the county outside the car, carefully observed each building, and felt for the first time that the county town has changed so much in the past ten years.

Through the rearview mirror of the car, I glanced at Ah Hong sitting in front of me from time to time, her face was solemn, and she could not see any joy or sorrow, like all the government officials I had come into contact with, it was completely impossible to guess what was going on.

She is not at all the Ah Hong of ten years ago.

I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and at the same time, I gradually became apprehensive.

I know very well how Ah Hong treated me in the past, but ten years later, she doesn't even want to admit that I am an old classmate, which seems to mean a lot of things.

Is it joy or sorrow?

Is it good or bad?

I couldn't even read a hint of the answer from her expression.

It seems that I, a business rookie who has lost shit luck for a while, seems to have become worthless in the eyes of her, a scheming professional elite.

For a while, the joy of gradually feeling a trace of success after making a little money in the past few months was shattered by this ruthless unexpected encounter, and even turned into a kind of sadness.

......

"In the past so long, the bits and pieces of the Yellow House between me and her should have completely faded, right?"

"She's married, so it's normal to keep your distance from me, right?"

"People's identities are different now, maybe they really don't look down on me as a bastard old friend, right?"

"Yes, when we were in the Yellow Building, we were all children after all!"

I was excited, thinking of all kinds of situations in my past interactions with Ah Hong, and at the same time looking for various reasons to comfort myself.

In my heart, I still hope that Ah Hong at this time is not Ah Hong in the Yellow Mansion period ten years ago, so that when the Yellow Mansion graduated and parted, the explanation I owed her about the love letter incident could be passed over logically.

Dazhi drove while constantly flattering Ah Hong.

I was in the back seat, and I couldn't help but blush.

......

"Director Ah Hong, you are so young and so beautiful, you are simply a star of the government!"

"Director Ah Hong, you see, under your care, our business has made a little success, and you are our food and clothing parents!"

"Director Ah Hong, you are a good official for the benefit of the party, without you, how can we ordinary people live a life?"

......

Ah Hong did not object to every praise, smiled slightly, and accepted it happily.

In the end, she still replied,

"Where, I am a local official, how can I compare with you, you are really young and promising, you see, you are so young, do such a big business, and such a high education, I am a small secondary school graduate, to have today, to be a local official, purely luck, good luck."

Listening to her understatement response, I couldn't help but feel like I was sitting on pins and needles as I sat in the back seat.

It seems that Dazhi's inadvertent game is going to become my Hongmen feast.
