Chapter 43: Lin Xue'er
The actual commercial negotiations with Xiaowei in the mining site are not very meaningful, and I am very clear about that.
Xiaowei is indeed the boss of the "good brothers", there is no doubt about it.
I also overestimated our childhood friendship, it is clear that Xiaowei in front of me is just a businessman, unscrupulous in order to achieve his ends, as far as the mining farm business is concerned, he is just the same as our original idea of quitting his job and going to the mountain, nothing more than to invest and make money, so that his wealth can increase slightly.
Listening to the meaning of his words, his backers can effortlessly make the Dazhifu company go up in smoke, and if we are willing to sell the company, it is the wisest choice.
Dazhi and I also had to seriously consider his proposal, because we know very well that with our current strength, we can't stop all the current behaviors of the "good brothers" company, the background is not as strong as the other party, the funds are not as strong as the other party, and the equipment is not as advanced as others, these are all facts.
Even when the brothers will open, we are powerless to stop it, as Xiaowei said, the brothers and sisters are fully licensed, reasonable and legal.
Although the negotiations broke up unhappily, we were able to understand each other's real thoughts.
Xiaowei wants to dominate the mine and eat us.
Da Zhifu wants to stop the brothers, at least limit the scale of his mining.
Our mining farm is still in a state of closure for rectification, so the most urgent thing at the moment is to coordinate with the relevant business departments in the county to resume production as soon as possible.
If you want to survive, endure humiliation, and reopen at all costs is the most important choice at the moment.
Dazhi arranged the affairs of the mining field, and I hurried to the county seat again.
When I arrived at the county seat, it was already early afternoon.
"Shall we split up?" , I proposed.
"You go to the safety supervisor and the homeland, and I'll go to the environmental protection bureau."
I knew in my heart that the problem between me and Ah Hong had not been solved by the Environmental Protection Bureau, and it would not be effective if Dazhi went.
Under the current circumstances, I can't explain to him the grievances and grievances between myself and Ah Hong.
Dazhi agreed very happily.
It seems that after the frustration of the last banquet for Ah Hong, he himself is more afraid of dealing with Ah Hong.
He threw me in front of the EPA building and drove away.
After getting out of the car, I looked up at the location of the environmental protection building and Ah Hong's office, and I felt a little cringe and resistance in my heart.
In fact, why don't I, like Dazhi, avoid meeting with people who dislike me as much as possible?
However, everything always has to be faced, and blindly avoiding it is not the way.
"Don't ask about the glory at the beginning, and you will know it by looking at your face."
Ah Hong's parting teeth and claws in the office last time are still vivid, and it seems that it should be difficult to talk to her calmly.
I cautiously walked to her door, thinking to myself, "What will Hong's face be when she sees me?" There are thousands of possibilities.
"Ignore it?"
"Furious?"
"Contempt?"
"It doesn't matter?"
......
Anything is possible!
So, I came forward and knocked on the door in a nervous mood.
It's strange that after knocking for a long time, no one responded.
At this time, staff from other offices passed by and kindly reminded me, "Director A Hong didn't come to work today. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know whether to be happy or worried, the joy is that today I can escape the embarrassment of meeting again that I originally resisted in my heart, and I am worried that I don't know how long the problem I want to solve will drag on before I can have a clear answer.
In any case, not being able to see each other for a while still allowed me to temporarily release my psychological pressure.
I went downstairs in a relaxed way and sent a message to Dazhi, telling him that I was looking for a leader in the Environmental Protection Bureau, and that I could only wait for the director to come back.
It's still early to walk out of the environmental protection building.
My mind moved, remembering the incident of being framed by a strange person, this incident for me personally, like eating a fly, extremely disgusting, and I urgently need an answer to prove my innocence, besides, after I and Dazhi jointly analyzed, the whole incident is not isolated.
Since the incident is related to the mining field, and I have free time at the moment, it is necessary to start immediately and dig up the story behind the scenes.
However, where does the investigation begin?
After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered what the male police officer in the interrogation room had said to me.
Since I claimed to be Lin Xue'er's voluntary confession, I found her through the iron head in the county, and finally reached a deal at the cost of 10,000 yuan, no matter the time and place, the whole incident is related to the iron head, I should go to the county to find the iron head, maybe I can gain something."
So I took a taxi and went straight to the old county.
I arrived just in time for the training school to end in the evening, and the students walked out of the school gate in twos and threes.
There are a few small stalls at the entrance of the school, and the male policeman of the county public security bureau is right, Tietou is indeed in the ranks of stalls at the gate of the old county.
I saw Tietou and Na selling chestnuts, the two of them had a clear division of labor, in the flow of people coming and going, one person shouted the sales slogan, and at the same time was busy collecting money and making change, and one person was neatly weighing and packing, with tacit understanding, business looked good.
The iron head is still strong, but it has been shaved down by a few years, and the head has become shiny; Na has completely faded the youth and beauty of the county middle school, bloated, unkempt, and completely devoid of the former demeanor.
I walked up to them and said hello.
Sadly, they didn't recognize me at all.
The years are ruthless, and it seems that I have changed a lot, and the old classmates who used to get along with each other day and night don't remember me at all.
"Big brother, buy chestnuts, right? Freshly baked. Na greeted me warmly.
I nodded at her, turned to the busy iron head, and said hello again.
"Iron Head, remember me?" I looked at him with a smile.
Iron Head raised his head and stared at me a little blankly for a long time.
Eventually, he remembered me.
"Oh, this is a big country, it's a big country, right? Brother, where did you come from? ”
He stood up, wiped his hand on his body, and hurriedly reached out to shake my hand warmly.
"I've been in the county for a while." I felt the strength of his handshake, the reunion of old friends, and the key is that it is especially precious to remember each other in the end.
Suddenly, the iron head seemed to remember something again, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
I know his mind.
He must have seen me and remembered the headlines about me in the county morning newspaper, but he didn't expect that others arranged for him to frame his former classmates, and the old classmates stood in front of him so quickly and dramatically afterwards, right?
There are many things in life, and there are always surprises.
"That, brother, you went to the county, something?" Iron Head was obviously still a little embarrassed, and he gasped, trying to lighten the mood.
"It's nothing, come and see you." When I saw him, I felt a lot calmer, and it didn't matter if he inadvertently framed me.
"Okay, I haven't seen you for so many years, no matter what, let's have some drinks at night." Seeing that I showed no signs of trouble, the iron head quickly regained his former pride, and the tone of inviting me to drink was not negotiable.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'll go to your house for a drink at night." , I didn't say anything polite to him, and I agreed.
I knew in my heart that if I wanted to know anything behind the scenes about Lin Xue'er and the Lin Xue'er incident, the iron head was crucial.
"Close!" Iron Head turned to Na and said.
"Go home early today, let's go back and fry two side dishes and entertain the big brothers."
After saying that, he cleaned up the stall by himself, Na smiled at me, and began to help sort out the bottles and cans with his hands and feet.
Tietou's home is very close to the old county, a neat bungalow with a small courtyard.
Open a narrow iron gate, you can see a few clusters of red and green flowers blooming in the center of the courtyard, and a green shed is set up in the corner of the wall, on which several huge gourds are hung.
The small home was very warmly furnished, and the iron head politely led me to the hall to sit down, made a cup of tea and handed it to me.
"The family is relatively simple, which makes my brothers smile."
He has a modest attitude, but it can be seen that the satisfaction of life is beyond words.
"What a nice place, neat and warm, much better than me, I don't even have a nest now." , I looked around at the iron-headed house, and the admiration was also from the heart.
"Brother Great Power, you're laughing at me, aren't you?"
"Your big boss, can you still have a nest, you are a cunning rabbit with three holes, there are several nests, right?" , Anyway, the iron head hehehe, smiled honestly.
Na's cooking skills are very good, and after a while, a few small dishes with all colors and flavors are served.
Tietou opened a bottle of liquor, filled it for himself first, and poured me a full glass.
"We haven't seen each other for six or seven years, haven't we?"
"yes, I think about it, yes, it's been almost seven years."
The Iron Head gave me a look.
"You've changed so much that I don't even recognize you."
Na chimed in.
"Yes, the big country has grown taller and fatter, and his face has changed a lot compared to before, and I didn't recognize it at the gate of the county just now." She giggled.
I seem to be embarrassed to ask me to buy chestnuts.
"yes, isn't it more handsome than before?" , I was also amused by these two people.
"It's not just handsome, it's just a green tree in the wind." The iron head took a sip of wine, glanced at me, and said a witty word flatteringly.
"You can pull it down, that's called Yushu Linfeng." Na corrected her husband while laughing out loud.
The husband and wife sing and harmonize, which makes people feel very happy.
Before you know it, a glass of wine is gone.
The alcohol should not be low, and after two glasses of wine, I started to feel a little lightheaded.
"Iron head, I've drunk a little too much." , I curled my tongue and confessed to the iron head.
"I'm handsome, but the longer I drink, the more fucked I get, and when I'm older, I can't drink anymore."
The iron head laughed.
This is the first time I have drunk with the iron head, the iron head is there, two glasses of wine, the face does not change, and it looks like a massive.
"It's okay, drink, stay at our house after drinking." Tomorrow we'll drink again. ", he proposed.
"That's not going to work, buddy, I still have a bunch of things to do." I shook my head and came to my senses a little.
"Cousin, I'm back." , A crisp girl's voice came from outside the house, delicate and familiar.
As soon as the words fell, a beautiful figure opened the curtain and floated in.
"Lin Xue'er!" I was a little dizzy with red eyes and looking at familiar faces.
The girl should have seen me too, exclaimed, and withdrew.
In the business hotel, we used to meet each other frankly, but I didn't expect to meet again in the iron-headed hut the next day.
The iron-headed smile froze on his face, a little overwhelmed.
Na, who was standing on the side, hurriedly rushed out and hurriedly pulled the girl into another room.
"What a coincidence." , Tietou lowered his head, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was blaming himself.
"Coincidentally?" , I asked knowingly, the alcohol was completely gone, and my consciousness was completely awake.
"Big country, I'm sorry, you know what I'm talking about, yesterday's incident, I really didn't know that the things arranged by the eldest brother were aimed at you!"
"What's the matter?" , I asked quietly, and at the same time, I also solved the mystery in my heart, it seems that the design of the peach-colored trap is indeed someone else, and it is indeed not from the hand of Ah Hong.
"What happened in the newspapers, the headlines in the morning papers." The iron head seemed to feel very sorry, lowered his head, and was a little afraid to look me in the eyes.
"Oh, you mean the peachy news about me?" , I said lightly.
"Yes, brother, this has something to do with me."
"What does it have to do with you?" I shook my head, pretending not to know what was going on, completely confused.
"What happened to you in the county hotel the day before yesterday was planned by one of my eldest brothers, and he asked me to find a girl, and it just so happened that Na's cousin was tutoring in the training class of the old county middle school, and it was the girl who went out just now." , the iron head is very real, and it seems that he has not hidden it from me at all.
"Alas, it's all because of poverty and the urgent need for money."
He was a little emotional.
"Lin Xueer is about to take this year's college entrance examination, her parents are not in good health, life is very difficult, Na and I can't help much, the day before yesterday, the eldest brother found me and said a plan for you, I think this matter, the eldest brother planned well, the girl's safety is absolutely guaranteed, and she can get 10,000 yuan at once, solve her tuition problem, and discuss it with their sisters, and agreed, now it seems that I am really confused."
"Brother Big Country, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that the eldest brother was targeting you, this kind of thing, I guess it will have a bad impact on you." , Iron Head apologized to me again, and his attitude was sincere.
"My eldest brother is very good to me, and I don't dare to find other girls, for fear of messing things up, but I didn't expect it to be messed up in the end!" , his voice is getting lower and lower, on one side is morality, on the other hand is friendship, it seems that nothing can be both.
"I always thought that the eldest brother was targeting, and he must not be a good person, big country, this time the buddy did something wrong and gave you a bad name, you ..... Can you forgive me? ”
I looked at Tietou quietly, carefully recalling the whole incident, what Tietou said should be the truth, this kind of thing, only people in society will design seamlessly, even if it is acting, it is the same as the real thing, it seems that I, who is with Douzai, should be convinced.
Thinking about it, I was relieved, it was right to come to find the iron head, it was not in vain, it was a mystery after all, as for why the big brother of the society did such a thing to me, it seems that the story in this should not be simple, I took the wine in the cup and drank it all.
"Dude, it's over, and I have nothing to lose, so I don't need to mention it again." , I said to him.
Seeing him blame himself so much made me a little uneasy.
"Okay, since my brother doesn't blame me, let's stop talking about this from today on!"
The iron head seemed to be relieved to see me so open-minded.
He poured two more glasses of wine.
"Dude, in fact, I have always admired your personality and mind! Let's have another drink, brothers do it first! He raised his glass and poured a whole glass of wine into his mouth at once, without frowning, and drank cleanly.
I looked at his arrogance in drinking, as if I saw the shadow of Da Gang on him again, and I couldn't help but feel gloomy.
Yes, compared to brotherhood, even if it really caused me a stain on my life because of mutual misunderstanding, what is it?
I also picked up my glass and drank it down.
After two glasses of wine, the world in front of me immediately became colorful.
Wine is the best anesthetic, which temporarily makes me forget all the worries in front of me.
It also made me completely fall into a dream-like fantasy.
In a daze, Lin Xue'er's beautiful face appeared in front of her as if she were far away.
Vaguely, the girl's eyes were full of love and concern.
It's so ethereal and profound,
That kind of look is so familiar,
It seemed to be able to penetrate into the depths of my inner soul.
