Chapter 115: Hush money
After a short time, the wine and food were ready, Shao Xiaoya picked up the wine glass and said:
"I have some things to deal with on my side, so I won't accompany them; However, this wine still has to be toasted, with a limit of three glasses, one more glass and no drink, and one less glass not to put down. He took a sip and drank it clean.
Shao Qianran shouted hello and drank it cleanly.
Wang Xiaotong knew that XO was a strong wine, but he couldn't disturb the master's Yaxing, so he had to draw a scoop according to the gourd and drink it with it.
Shao Xiaoya concocted it in the same way and toasted again and again. Shao Qianran did not show weakness, and also toasted again and again. Wang Xiaotong was still worried at first, and after a glass of wine, he felt that it was nothing more than that, so he let go of his courage and drank two more glasses.
Shao Xiaoya sighed: "I really want to drink with you all night!" I was so entangled in trivial matters that I had to wait for the next time. After speaking, he got up and said goodbye to the two.
After Shao Xiaoya left, Wang Xiaotong immediately turned against the guest, raised his glass and said:
"Qianqian, being able to make a friend like you must be the fate of your previous life. My sister will borrow flowers and offer Buddha, and I will also give you three cups! ”
"Yo! Let's eat some food first, don't waste this big table! ”
"What's that? If you can't eat it, it's packed. It's still important to drink! ”
"Good! Listen to my sister and sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman! ”
The two of you went back and forth, raising their glasses frequently, and the more they drank, the more excited they became, and in less than half an hour, they had already drunk the bottle of XO with the bottom up.
"Qianqian, are we best friends?" Taking advantage of the wine, Wang Xiaotong opened the usual rare chatterbox.
"Of course! In H City, except for my cousin, I am just a friend like you who can make friends. ”
"Good friends should talk about everything, right?"
"Of course!"
"Can you tell me your secret?"
"Where?"
"I heard that you will soon become President Li's daughter-in-law, but is there such a thing?"
"Yes! However, it needs to be kept secret for the time being. Shao Qianran made no secret of it.
"Good! Since Qianqian is so honest, I will also reveal a secret to you! ”
"Wait! Let me guess first and see if it's sticky or not. Shao Qianran took a sip of sobering tea, pursed her lips and said:
"It's a matter of work, right?"
"Not bad!" Wang Xiaotong was a little surprised.
"It's about keeping an account, right?"
"Not bad!" Wang Xiaotong's eyes widened in surprise.
"Ahem!" Shao Qianran sighed, "Zheng Qingyu is not bad, but he is too suspicious." In Luoshan, country M, I once saved his life, and it can be regarded as a shared adversity, but I still have a back hand. In fact, many enterprises have set up two sets of accounts, one for official inspection and one for internal accounting, which is no secret. ”
Wang Xiaotong said, "Qianqian, look at the trend, Mr. Zheng intends to let you be his successor, but you didn't say it, you have won the trust of the company; Especially in the hearts of young employees, they almost worship you as a god. However, we should not be overly optimistic. The pressure on the company is still relatively large, and there are many uncertainties in all aspects. Let's put it directly, Tianyuan Company is not as glamorous as it looks, and there are many unpleasant things inside! ”
"So serious?" Shao Qianran frowned, and her face became solemn.
"It's not a short time since I joined Tianyuan Company, and I naturally know a lot of things. When I first arrived, I heard some news that a coal mine opened by the company in K County had an accident and many people died, most of them migrant workers from other places, and a few were local villagers. In order to conceal the accident, the company's senior management privately dealt with it, and the non-local migrant workers were compensated 50,000 yuan each, and the local villagers were compensated 100,000 yuan each. ”
"So much money can cost a life?" Shao Qianran was shocked.
"This money is actually hush money, if anyone leaks the news, the thugs hired by the company will oppose him, and even destroy his house!"
"It's too lawless!" Shao Qianran slammed the table.
Wang Xiaotong sighed, "When I first heard the news, I didn't believe anything, but then I saw the list of family members who received compensation, which was clearly recorded, so I had to believe it." ”
With the smell of wine, Shao Qianran's eyes radiated a cold light, as if she could kill an elephant. Her nose was fluttering, her lips were trembling, and her breathing was getting shorter and shorter, "Sister Xiaotong, these people are too domineering and inhumane, right?" Is there no one who does justice? ”
Wang Xiaotong said, "Cough, it's not nothing, it's just that the little arms can't reach the thighs." At that time, there was a person named Shao Changhe, who was resolutely opposed to this. ”
"Shao Changhe?" Shao Qianran's eyes widened, and the blood in her body boiled!
"Yes, his name is Shao Changhe, and I heard that he and our Mr. Zheng used to be comrades-in-arms, and he was deeply appreciated by Mr. Zheng."
"And then?" Shao Qianran pressed the burning chest and asked urgently.
Wang Xiaotong sighed, "You should know Mr. Zheng's temperament, everything he recognizes, you have to go all the way to the dark." The two broke up and refused to give in to each other, like fire and water. Shao Changhe is a tough guy, and in a fit of rage, he went to the city government and broke into the office of the mayor in charge. ”
"Sue the mayor? And then? ”
"Ahem," Wang Xiaotong sighed, "Outsiders don't know what Shao Changhe and the mayor said, just that night, Shao Changhe was locked up in a small dark room by several security guards of the company, saying that his head was swollen and he needed to calm down." Shao Changhe was so angry that he had a stroke and was bedridden ever since. ”
Shao Qianran gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and secretly brewed her next move.
The spring is cold. Yang Xiaoxue, who was dressed in disguise, took a few companions who were also disguised, and took two off-road jeeps into the mountain road to K County.
It's March, and the snow in the city has long been gone, and even if some snowflakes still fall, they will immediately turn into water droplets on the roads and on the faces and necks of pedestrians, just like rain. However, the mountainous areas of K County, especially those high peaks, are still stubbornly hung with snow, as if to tell passers-by: don't be too happy, this is still the kingdom of winter!
Passing through the winding mountain road and through the cold skyscraper, a desolate village with only a few dozen families appeared.
"Sister Yang, that's the Lishugou we're going to." Sun Xiaoyan, who was dressed a little bloated, temporarily assumed the role of a guide. In fact, she has never been to that poor place where rabbits don't, but just according to the map. Fortunately, she is a native of K County, and she has developed a unique shuttling ability in the mountains, as long as she wants to find a place, even if it is a horn, she can't escape her hunter-like eyes.
"When I entered the village, I went directly to see Yang Shihong's wife, Liu Chunhua." Yang Xiaoxue was like the commander of a small detachment that went into the mountains to suppress bandits, and resolutely issued a combat order.
Yang Xiaoxue and his entourage were greeted by a big dog with a chain and black body. It roared wildly, the chains rattling.
The door opened, and a small gray-faced head poked out, and asked:
"Looking for whom?"
Sun Xiaoyan glanced at the fierce and vicious big black dog, and was about to step forward to talk, but was grabbed by Qian Liang behind him, and shouted to the child:
"Keep an eye on your dog!"
"Looking for whom?" The gray-headed little head ignored Qian Liang and continued to ask.
There was no way, Qian Liang was patient and asked the child:
"Is this Liu Chunhua's house?"
"It's not."
"Isn't it?"
"It's not."
Sun Xiaoyan saw that it was not the head, and she couldn't take care of the fierce and vicious big black dog, so she stepped forward and asked:
"Kid, whose child are you?"
"The Yang family."
"And what's your name?"
"Yang Feipeng."
"What a name!" Sun Xiaoyan sincerely appreciated it and asked:
"Little friend, who are you Yang Shihong?"
"Grandpa."
"What's Grandma's name?"
"Grandma is called grandma, there is no name!" The gray-faced little head got impatient and slammed the door shut.
"His grandmother's!" Qian Liang shook his head.
Yang Xiaoxue was not angry, but felt very funny, and was about to speak, when the door creaked and opened again. This time it was a kind old lady who poked out. The old lady was not old, about sixty years old, and she was wrapped in a big, fat jacket of earthy yellow. She looked carefully at these handsome faces, as well as the two dazzling jeeps parked behind them, and couldn't help but feel a lot of chills in her heart.
