"Oh, you don't have a job. Mengxuan is just a university teacher with a dead salary, and you come to such a good hotel to treat guests to dinner. Why do you have to suffer for the sake of face?" After Fang Tao heard this, he immediately relaxed a lot, and his words stopped talking.
Be so polite again.
He even began to feel sorry for Lu Mengxuan that such a beautiful and generous girl found such a poor boyfriend.
"We are not doing it for the sake of face, but mainly because this matter is very important, so we invited..."
"Mengxuan, don't forget that we are old classmates and we should help each other. What you do makes me think why you have changed so much and you are becoming more and more cliché."
Before Lu Mengxuan could finish speaking, Fang Tao said with an expression that was both arrogant and helpless.
"Yes, young people should focus on their work. Besides, you are still classmates. You shouldn't put on such a show. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Hearing that the two of them had nothing to do, Miao Yuancai straightened his back again, and his words revealed a disciplinary tone for the young man.
He thought to himself, one is a teacher and the other is unemployed, what big thing can the two of them ask for? It may be just a small thing, but they go to such a hotel and spend so much money just for the sake of appearance.
"Eat first, and chat while we eat." Lu Mengxuan blushed and showed embarrassment. Just as a few waiters came in with food and wine, he hurriedly changed the subject.
"Yes, let's eat first." Zhang Yang stood up and took a bottle of Moutai, opened it and filled it for the two of them.
"Well, tell me, what's going on?"
Now that the food and wine were all served, Miao Yuan became even more rude. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip before asking directly.
"I'm counting on Uncle Miao for this matter. Let me toast you first." Zhang Yang stood up and drank the wine glass in one gulp, looking particularly generous.
He put the high hat on Miao Yuancai first, and if he flattered him a bit, things might go smoother.
"Don't worry, as long as it's within the scope of Minghua District and involves urban construction, my uncle's words are still very useful." Fang Tao said with pride on his face.
Miao Yuancai smiled and said nothing, acquiescing to his nephew's words. After drinking half of the wine glass, he put it back on the table.
When a junior toasts to him, he can't finish it all in one go. Half of it is considered to be enough face. It's not that he looks down on Zhang Yang, but the so-called wine shop culture...
"Uncle Miao, Zhang Yang and I wanted to build an orphanage in our Minghua District, but halfway through the construction, the urban construction brigade issued a notice of suspension of construction and demolition, so I asked you for help. Can you let us
Keep building.”
Lu Mengxuan saw that the atmosphere was getting harmonious and Fang Tao was very confident in what he said. He couldn't wait to continue: "It's getting colder and colder now. Those children are very pitiful. They can't live without a place to live."
"As long as we are in Minghua District, it is a trivial matter to my uncle." Fang Tao said very simply as his face began to turn red after two drinks. He looked like a drinker.
After Miao Yuancai heard this, his hand that was going to hold the wine glass paused for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly and he asked, "Is it the orphanage in Wanghe Village?"
"Yes, yes, right there, Uncle Miao also knows about this?" Lu Mengxuan felt happy and saw a glimmer of hope.
"Oh, it's a good thing that you are doing this, and you should support it."
Miao Yuancai did not hold the wine glass again, but heaved a long sigh and continued with a troubled look on his face: "It only involves land use issues. The inspections by the superiors have been tight recently, not to mention the changes and approvals of land use.
It's under the control of the Land and Resources Bureau, so I think it's better to let this matter go and wait until it's over."
"Uncle, what do you do in charge of the Land and Resources Bureau? As long as you turn a blind eye and build it first, why don't they demolish it? Isn't that what they did in the past?" Fang Tao said.
He thought that his uncle's words were just a false excuse to let Lu Mengxuan and the others know that this matter was not easy to deal with, and they would be more favourable.
Isn't it like this when entrusting people to do things? First, let's talk about how difficult it is to make the other person feel that even treating guests and giving gifts may not be possible. After the meal is eaten and the gifts are accepted, things will be almost done.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This matter involves laws and regulations, how can you touch it at will?"
Miao Yuancai was so angry regardless of his status that the three of them were surprised. He turned to Lu Mengxuan and continued: "Of course you are doing good deeds for charity. You can apply to your superiors to see if they can get special approval."
His words were obviously rejected. The superiors did not say which department it was. It was just as mysterious as the relevant departments mentioned in the news...
When Zhang Yang saw him getting angry, he suddenly remembered that the gangsters had no fear of beating people, and he immediately understood that there must be a bigger leader involved here, and even he did not dare to offend him. The so-called laws and regulations were just a shield.
"But there is no time, Uncle Miao, can you be accommodating, even if you build several houses first and let these children live in them first." Lu Mengxuan was very disappointed, but unwilling to give in, and his words were full of pleading.
She knew that although the simple houses could be used for temporary living now, in the severe cold weather of March 9th, the house would be completely frozen, which would be difficult for adults to endure, let alone a group of people with poor health and various physical disabilities.
child?
"Yes, uncle, please help me think of a solution." If the matter fails, Fang Tao will feel embarrassed in front of this beautiful classmate, so he tries to persuade her.
"It's not that I don't help, it's just that this matter is really difficult to handle." Miao Yuancai answered helplessly.
Lu Mengxuan was completely in despair, but then he thought that the fifty thousand yuan he had brought became the only life-saving straw. He glanced sideways at Zhang Yang, and the meaning was obvious.
Zhang Yang knew what she was thinking, and immediately took out the money wrapped in newspapers and said: "Uncle Miao, we all know that this matter is difficult to handle, but if you are willing to help, go to the Land and Resources Bureau and say a word, it will definitely be better than
We are more efficient, and you also need to take care of things up and down, so you can take this little money and treat them as the cost of treating them to dinner. If it is not enough, you can contact me at any time and I will send it to you."
He had never given gifts to others, so he didn't know how to describe it. Since Miao Yuancai kept blaming it on the Land and Resources Bureau, he could only say that it was more reasonable.
"What are you doing..." Miao Yuancai obviously didn't expect that the two of them would give cash, and looked at the door in horror and said.
"We also know that you are in trouble, but the law is nothing more than human kindness. You are also doing a good deed by helping those children. I think the superiors will understand. Please, Uncle Miao." Lu Mengxuan begged directly with tears in his eyes and his words were choked.
"Uncle, you..."
"Oh, I'll tell you the truth." Miao Yuancai didn't wait for Fang Tao to finish, glanced at the three of them, sighed and continued: "You are not allowed to build an orphanage here because someone has taken a fancy to this piece of land.
."
"Who is it?" the three of them asked almost in unison.
Unexpectedly, the laws and regulations were false, and it turned out that someone was obstructing them. Of course, Zhang Yang had already vaguely considered these.
"He is Fei Ming, the boss of Haoda Industrial Co., Ltd. I heard that he is going to buy all the land nearby to build a factory."
"He can build it, so why can't we build it?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.
"Yes, we bought the land first. We have a purchase contract with the village and the money has been paid." Lu Mengxuan explained hurriedly.
"Do you know who Fei Ming is? He is the nephew of Fei Yuhua, the director of the Donghai City Public Security Bureau. It is said that both black and white are allowed. I also received a notice from the city bureau to stop the construction. It seems that he is on top
We have already found a relationship, there is nothing we can do about it."
Miao Yuan spoke, probably because he had to eat and drink, so he had to reveal some inside information so that he could shift the blame more clearly.
What's more, these so-called inside stories are not secrets in various departments. Everyone knows it but there is nothing they can do about it. Who wants to offend a powerful figure?
"Why did he build a factory in such a remote place?" Zhang Yang asked.
Upon hearing the identity of the other party, even a fool will understand that he has his own uncle who is the director of the Public Security Bureau. The gangsters are supporting him and the white gangs are protecting him.
It was a bit surprising to him that such an awesome person would build a factory in such a remote suburb.
"Building a factory is fake, but receiving state compensation is real."
Miao Yuancai shook his head with a wry smile and continued to explain: "It is said that there is news from the Provincial Department of Transportation that a north-south expressway will be built next year, and an overpass needs to be built at the location of the orphanage, so he will build a factory.
, there is no need to put it into production at all. As long as the output value is falsely reported when being expropriated, you can get up to dozens of times the compensation. Do you think people like them really start a company? They are just making dirty money in the name of the company.
"
When he said this, his face was full of excitement and dissatisfaction. After all, as a public official, he had to protect these scum of society who got something for nothing. What was the difference between him and thugs?
I work hard for a dead salary, but others can rely on my connections to earn back more money than I can spend in several lifetimes on one project. Thinking of this, these public officials who enforce the law will inevitably become psychologically unbalanced.
This may also be the root cause of corruption…
"Doesn't anyone care about these things?" Lu Mengxuan was completely desperate, his pretty face full of frustration.
"Who cares? Those above are too lazy to care, but those below dare not." Miao Yuancai said with a helpless smile.
What he said was too lazy to care. He also had an inside story, but he just didn't want to continue to tell it...
"Can the mayor handle this matter?"
Zhang Yang suddenly remembered the last time he and Feng Yanran applied for a hemostatic powder formula. Luo Wenhui's mayoral airs flashed through his mind. If he could help, he wouldn't dare not come if he called him.
"Do you know the mayor?" Miao Yuancai asked with doubt on his face. He thought to himself, if he knew the mayor, would he still need to ask me for help?
"I know Luo Wenhui, but I don't know if he can help with this." Zhang Yang told the truth. (To be continued)
