Chapter 14: Class reunions

Many businessmen like to look for network resources in various names, and class reunions are one of the good channels.

Tan Wenming is no exception to this, but he doesn't have much advantage in this regard: after dropping out of junior high school, he blends in society, so all he can do is have class reunions in elementary school and junior high school.

At noon on the first day of the lunar month, Tan Wenming set up a banquet in the largest restaurant in Tangmiao Town to entertain his primary school classmates.

It's a pity that Tan Wenming didn't achieve the expected harvest in this alumni reunion, because most of the people present either stayed in their hometown to farm, or went out to work, and then there were a few who did small business, and there were only two township clerks and a primary school teacher who had public status.

For Tan Wenming, these relationships have little value to exploit. However, today's Tan Wenming will not feel sorry for this bit of food money, and he should have fun with the people.

The junior high school reunion was held on the evening of the third day of the lunar month at a three-star hotel in Dongzhou City.

This hotel was carefully selected by Tan Wenming: first, the grade of the three-star hotel is not very high, but it is not low, so that no one will say that he deliberately shows off; Second, there are several specialties in this hotel that are really authentic, which can show his importance and sincerity to this class reunion.

Because they are distributed in Tiannan and Haibei, and they usually do not communicate diligently, only 12 people were present at this class reunion.

Among these people, Chen Molei is the only one who works in the court, and the others either work in the government or public institutions, or are bosses or high-level workers.

The crowd sat around a large round table with delicate dishes on the table.

In everyone's eyes, Tan Wenming is the golden phoenix attracted by Mayor Wei Congbing, so he is extremely enthusiastic about him.

Tan Wenming was drunk, and in the sound of compliments, he was a little carried away, he showed off to his classmates how powerful he was, and what leading cadres he had seen over the years, which attracted a look of envy.

However, Chen did not get involved, because he encountered a situation that most judges often encounter: many people seize this opportunity to always ask one kind of legal question, and the questions are often one after another, and some questions are not even asked for themselves, but for others.

By the end of the banquet, it was almost half past nine in the evening. Chen Molei finished answering the last legal question and was about to leave when he was stopped by Tan Wenming.

Chen Molei thought that Tan Wenming would also consult legal issues, but he didn't expect Tan Wenming to ask him rhetorically: "How did I behave in your court that day?" ”

"Do you mean that condolence? It's perfect. Chen Molei took out a toothpick from the toothpick box, cleaned his nails, and joked: "You have successfully stabbed our pain points with a professional speech." ”

Tan Wenming asked again: "Then, do you know why I know so much?" ”

Chen Molei smiled indifferently and said, "At first glance, your speech is indeed professional. But if you think about it, those things are not secrets, just ask a professional such as a lawyer, and you will know everything. ”

"No, that's because I also studied law." Tan Wenming said: "Of course, I am a correspondence course. Although not as professional as you, combined with the media's reports on the difficulty of implementation over the years, as long as you carefully analyze it, those things will be self-taught. ”

"Oh?" Chen Molei threw the toothpick into the trash: "I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable, it seems that I really have to be impressed by you." ”

Tan Wenming smiled slightly and said, "Do you want to be impressed, let's discuss a problem." The question is, what do you think about the law? Or do you see the law as a faith, or as a tool? ”

Chen Molei was stunned: "How did you think of this problem?" ”

Tan Wenming said: "I thought of this question when I was reading a law book, but I never discussed it with anyone. Today is a rare opportunity, I met you, the judge, why don't I discuss it with you. ”

Chen Molei thought about it, and it didn't hurt to discuss it, so he said: "If I have to choose one or the other, I choose faith." ”

Tan Wenming snorted: "At first glance, it is a standard professional background, which is also the representative view of people like you." ”

He reached out and took Chen Molei's teacup, poured it full of tea, brought it to Chen Molei, and continued: "Actually, this point of view is also understandable.

As for people like you, you have always been in school before joining the workforce, and you have not been deeply exposed to society, and when you go to university, you are basically still a blank slate. In the university classroom, how sacred, meaningful and valuable the law is, how much the teacher instills knowledge and ideas in you, you will accept it, and this concept is formed.

After graduating from university, the next step is to assign jobs, and you bring this concept to your work, so when you participate in the work, you are often motivated, hoping to realize the value of the law and maintain social justice through your own efforts.

However, did you later realize that the real world is very different from the imaginary world? Have you ever thought that, in fact, your legal concept is more like a ...... Wishful thinking obsession! ”

Chen Molei was stunned: "I've worked for so many years, and it's the first time I've heard of your opinion." ”

Tan Wenming asked, "Then do you want to hear my understanding of the law?" ”

Chen Molei said politely: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Tan Wenming said: "After more than 20 years of experience in society, I realized the usefulness of the law, and then I remembered to learn how to use the law.

I'm a more practical person, and I've learned a little bit of legal theory, but I pay more attention to specific clauses, and if it's useful, I'll learn it thoroughly. Through my experiences and feelings over the years, I am more inclined to regard the law as a tool, a tool to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters.

Do you think my point of view is reasonable? ”

"Yes, of course." Chen Molei was a little impatient when he heard this, looked at his watch, and said, "However, it's not too early, I'll listen to your high arguments another day." ”

Seeing off Chen Molei, Tan Wenming sat alone in the private room without saying a word.

After a short while, a young man in a suit walked in.

Tan Wenming glanced at him and asked, "Did you hear what he said just now?" ”

The man in the suit nodded: "I've been hiding outside the door, and I can hear it clearly." ”

Tan Wenming asked again: "Then do you think this person can be wooed?" ”

The young man shook his head: "No play! When you test him with your arguments, his tone is clearly dealing with you, and there is a hint of disdain. In my opinion, this executive director is self-assured and has no possibility of being co-opted. Let's give up! ”

Tan Wenming sighed and said with emotion: "Sure enough, the nature of the country is easy to change, and the stinky and hard problem of this executive director is afraid that he will not be able to change it in this life!" ”

He picked up the teacup used by Chen Molei and looked at it with his eyes, with a hint of provocation in his eyes: "Since this is the case, then let's see, in this Dongzhou, is it a foot high or a foot high?" ”

With that, as soon as he let go of his hand, the teacup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
