After drinking a bottle of wine, Shen Tong's face turned slightly red, while Li Mingming's face remained calm as if nothing was wrong, and he moved inside with the strength of the wine.
Shen Tong took a bite of food and asked, "Xiaoyi, I heard from Li Mingming that you are now a lawyer in a law firm in Longnan City?"
Yang Xiaoyi took a sip of soda and said: "Well, I worked in this law firm when I was an intern in college. After graduating from college, the director asked me to come back again. I also liked this job, so I stayed. Already."
"Hello, lawyer. Speaking of which, we are still one family. Although I am at the grassroots police station, we are all in the political and legal system. We will have to deal with each other for a long time in the future." Li Mingming interjected, looking at Yang Xiaoyi intently.
Yang Xiaoyi also felt Li Mingming's eyes. She deliberately avoided it and said to Shen Tong: "What about you?"
Shen Tong talked about his situation lightly, but Li Mingming obviously had some unfinished thoughts and said: "Zongzi is not easy now. Working in the county committee office has a bright future. Maybe he can become a leader in the future."
Shen Tong was polite and said: "Then why are you coming back this time?"
When it comes to work, Yang Xiaoyi immediately got into work mode. Instead of a sweet smile, he looked like a fighting figure and said: "Dongsheng Coal Mine, you know? This time I was entrusted by Zhao Xiaosheng, the director of Dongsheng Coal Mine, to resolve some disputes in the company. Without legal support, it’s difficult for businesses now.”
As mentioned earlier, Zhao Xiaosheng is a well-known entrepreneur in the county and has a certain status in Dongquan. Everyone who mentions this person knows about him. Yang Xiaoyi did not point out any aspects. She did not say, Shen Tong didn't pursue the case. After studying these days, Shen Tong basically has a good grasp of the situation of Dongsheng Coal Mine. This collective enterprise is heavily in debt, especially affected by the financial crisis. It is unable to make ends meet. There are complaints from employees and the leadership is helpless. .
"Compared to another large coal mine in Dongquan, this collective enterprise mechanism is inflexible and is still stuck in the planned economy era. I think it will be restructured in the near future." Yang Xiaoyi added.
The other large coal mine that Yang Xiaoyi pointed to is the largest private coal mine among the 12 coal mines in the county, with an annual output of 2 million tons. It is well-known in the city and even the province. The owner of the mine, He Yunchang, is wealthy and has quite the aura of a local tycoon. There are too many folk versions of his stories, but most of them are anecdotes, which will be mentioned later.
Through these days of understanding, Shen Tong also has a deep understanding that Dongquan's economic development is extremely unbalanced. From a geographical point of view, the east is rich and the west is poor; from an industrial structure perspective, industry is heavy and agriculture is light, and the development of the tertiary industry is minimal. From the perspective of per capita income, it just reached 1,500 yuan per year last year, and the real gap between rich and poor is very large; from the perspective of fiscal revenue, it exceeded the 80 million yuan mark last year, ranking in the city, and Dongquan County ranked third from the bottom.
As a resource-rich county, its fiscal revenue is far less than that of its purely agricultural neighboring counties. As mentioned before, the land is full of gold but full of funnels. I really don’t know how the county magistrate Ding Qingxiang has been doing economic development in these years.
Such a heavy topic is not something that a small person like Shen Tong can comment on. He sighed and deliberately returned to Yang Xiaoyi. Shen Tong asked curiously: "Xiaoyi, you work in a law firm and your salary should be good. Bar?"
Yang Xiaoyi pursed her lips and smiled, nodded, and said casually: "It's okay."
Li Mingming couldn't wait to ask: "How much is it okay?"
Facing an old friend, Yang Xiaoyi did not want to hide anything, and did not directly tell the specific number, saying: "How do you put it, for example, today's legal consultation requires this number." After speaking, Yang Xiaoyi raised a finger.
Shen Tong blurted out: "100 yuan?"
Yang Xiaoyi shook his head.
"1,000 yuan?"
"Yeah." Yang Xiaoyi replied sheepishly.
Shen Tong couldn't believe his ears. His salary for a month of hard work was only a little more than 600 yuan, but Yang Xiaoyi actually made 1,000 yuan for this trip, which was equivalent to two months' salary. If According to her, if she receives 10 consultations or lawsuits like this in a month, she can exceed 10,000 yuan in a month, my God!
"Ah? Rich woman." Li Mingming said in disbelief.
Shen Tong didn't ask further, picked up a bottle of wine, touched it with Li Mingming, and drank it in one breath.
Seeing that he was the worst among the "Iron Triangle", Shen Tong felt inexplicably sad and could not help but feel a little jealous and envious.
Yang Xiaoyi also noticed the change in Shen Tong's facial expression, picked up the soda apologetically, and said: "Come, let's drink together, for friendship, for a better future!"
The memories of the past were almost gone, and work was interrupted due to the income gap. Li Mingming intended to provide emotional guidance. At this moment, two men and a woman rushed in from the dusty outside. Shen Tong looked up and found that two of the three people knew each other. One is Cai Fei, a high school classmate, and the other is Xiang Pengfei, the son of Deputy County Magistrate Xiang Jie.
I saw Cai Fei hugging the scantily clad woman and pinching her waist from time to time. The woman pretended to be angry, but there was still a smile on her face. Xiang Pengfei shook his shoulders in an airy manner and leaned against the bar. , tapped the bar with his fingers, shook his legs and said: "Four people, please move to a place." After saying that, he looked around with arrogant eyes, and he happened to meet Shen Tong's eyes.
Shen Tong was quite surprised that Cai Fei and Xiang Pengfei got together. What surprised him even more was that the woman next to Cai Fei was not Lan Yue's best friend when they first met, Li Min from China Merchants Group. Cai Fei was Shen Tong I am a high school classmate and have a good relationship with each other, but after the last time we met, I always felt that the relationship between the two could never go back to the past, not even as good as the Li Mingming in front of me.
Let's talk about Xiang Pengfei. He shamelessly pestered Lan Yue because of his superior family. There was a physical conflict last time. Xiang Pengfei was defeated by Shen Tong three times and five times. When he left, he was a little aggrieved and threatened to let Shen Tong. Wait.
After Xiang Pengfei saw Shen Tong, he stopped ordering. He circled the car key in the air with his fingers, his triangular eyes were filled with coldness, and he walked over slowly with a corner of his mouth raised.
Cai Fei on the side also looked in the direction of Pengfei and found that it was Shen Tong. He quickly took his hand from the woman's shoulder and followed her.
"Oh! Isn't this Brother Ming?" Xiang Pengfei wanted to find a reason to retaliate against the ignorant Shen Tong, but then he realized that Li Mingming was sitting next to him and immediately lowered his attitude and said. Obviously, Xiang Pengfei was a little timid towards Li Mingming.
Li Mingming saw Xiang Pengfei, commonly known as the "No. 1 Young Master of Dongquan", and looked at him with disdain and said, "Brother Peng, are you here to eat?" Then he looked past Xiang Pengfei and saw Cai Fei, nodded and said, "Brother Fei is here too. Already?"
Cai Fei nodded slightly, glanced at Yang Xiaoyi, and then asked doubtfully: "What are you..."
