Chapter 364 Status Quo

When friends get together, wine is indispensable, which is also part of the culture.

Zhao Tianhao asked the cook from the mine to come over to help, and prepared a large table of delicious dishes, including seafood and game, which can be described as quite sumptuous.

The wine is Moutai, the smoke is soft, this hospitality belongs to the highest standard.

Sitting together are family and friends, Shi Youfu and his two sons, two brothers Zhao Tianhao and Cheng Jianhui, and Zhang Xiaobaiuer.

Zhang Xiaobai didn't introduce Niu Er too much to others, he only said that he was a friend.

The atmosphere was quite lively, except for Niu Er who didn't drink, everyone else brought wine glasses. After Shi Youfu raised three glasses as the host, everyone took turns to toast in circles.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Not drunk, but also drunk a lot, a little drunk.

Cheng Jianhui said: "Xiaobai, make a statement in front of Brother Hao today, are you willing to come back? As long as you come back, I will definitely give you shares!"

Shi Lei sat next to Zhang Xiaobai, and said, "Xiaobai, come back, it's better to be a lord here than to be someone else's horse outside, the mine will always reserve a place for you, and Wolong Village will always be your home!"

Sitting on the other side of Shi Lei was his older brother Shi Chuan, who had a poor capacity for alcohol, but when he saw Moutai, he drank more and became even more drunk.

He raised his eyebrows, coughed dryly, and said, "Xiao Lei, everyone has their own ambitions, we can't force Xiao Bai, he is a college student!"

Shi Lei argued: "What's wrong with college students? There are also college students in our mine, they are part-time workers! It's different when Xiaobai comes, he will be the boss directly!"

Hearing this, Ishikawa's face sank, and he said: "If you want to give him shares, you can give him shares. Anyway, I can't lose any shares!"

The atmosphere was suddenly awkward. I don't know if Ishikawa made a slip of the tongue after drinking, or did it on purpose.

As the younger brother, Shi Lei and his elder brother have never been subdued since they were young, and he snorted coldly and said: "Put your heart in your stomach, your shares are indispensable, Xiaobai is not rare!"

Shi Chuan pouted, "That's the best!"

Cheng Jianhui grinned and licked his lower lip, stared at Shi Chuan and said, "Brother, are you too drunk?"

Saying this on this occasion obviously didn't give Brother Hao face. People in the Jianghu value face the most, and Cheng Jianhui couldn't be more angry.

Shi Youfu stepped on his son's foot. Seeing Cheng Jianhui's expression, Shi Chuan was startled and said apologetically, "Brother Hui, Xiaolei and I were just playing around!"

Zhao Tianhao smiled slightly, raised his glass, "Drink, don't talk about business!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

After being made such a fuss by Ishi Chuan, the drinking was completely over, and it didn't take long for the drinking party to end.

Shi Lei wanted to take Zhang Xiaobai somewhere, so Niu Er followed Zhao Tianhao and Cheng Jianhui to the mine.

A three-story building was built at the east end of the village, with a large yard and high walls, obviously a wealthy family.

Shi Lei stood in front of the gate and said, "Xiaobai, our wish has come true!"

Zhang Xiaobai frowned, but didn't understand what it meant.

He took out the key and opened the door, and the two walked in.

The yard is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and big happy characters are pasted on the door.

Zhang Xiaobai asked with a smile: "Wedding room?"

Shi Lei nodded, and opened the door inside again. Inside the room, ribbons were hung and wedding photos were hung on the walls.

In the photo, Shi Lei and Xiu Xiu smiled brightly.

Zhang Xiaobai looked at the photo and raised his thumb, "Handsome! Beautiful!"

Shi Lei lit a cigarette and said, "Do you still remember what the three of us, Xiuxiu, said under the big willow tree in your house that summer vacation?"

Zhang Xiaobai nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I remember, at that time I really thought this was an impossible dream!"

Shi Lei said seriously: "Xiaobai, our dream has come true!"

As he said that, he took Zhang Xiaobai to the third floor, where there was a karaoke room, a gym, a chess and card room, and several bedrooms.

Walking to a bedroom, the two pushed the door out, it was very big, comparable to Shi Lei and Xiuxiu's bedroom.

Shi Lei said: "Xiaobai, this is your bedroom, I won't let anyone live in it, the whole villa is built according to your design!"

Zhang Xiaobai's eyes were red, and he punched Shi Lei's chest, "I was moved to tears by him!"

Shi Lei laughed out loud.

When they came to the yard, the two sat on the platform and smoked.

Zhang Xiaobai asked: "What's the situation now? What happened to Li Pingyuan and Liu Zhi? And that big bald head?"

Shi Lei smoked a cigarette, and said slowly: "Li Pingyuan's mine is called Pingyuan Stone Mine. In the past two years, the situation has been good. It went smoothly and made a lot of money. Liu Zhi has been working in the mine. This kid is still very capable. Now I am the second in command of Pingyuan Stone Mine! But..."

Shi Lei smiled slightly, and said proudly: "But it's still incomparable to me!"

Zhang Xiaobai frowned and asked, "Why can't you compare?"

Shi Lei explained: "Our family's mine is called Tianyu Mining. Brother Hao named it. Our family owns 40% of the shares through the mine. Brother Hao replaced Wei Qianshan and holds 60% of the shares."

"Although Liu Zhi is the second in command of Pingyuan Stone Mine, he has no shares in his hands. How does he compare with me?"

Zhang Xiaobai said with a smile: "That's really incomparable. He only earns some extra money from his salary. Maybe there will be a little bonus at the end of the year, which can't compare with your bonus!"

Shi Lei said earnestly: "Actually, Liu Zhi earns quite a lot. He has rights in the mine, and now he is the secretary of Wolong Village. Li Pingyuan is giving him face..."

Zhang Xiaobai interrupted him and asked, "Is he the secretary now? Where's his father?"

Shi Lei said: "Two years ago, his father tricked others to choose him as the secretary, and then Liu Zhong retired to the second line. Liu Zhi is indeed capable, and he used the money from the mine to maintain a lot of relationships. The town and county are not bad! "

Zhang Xiaobai thought for a while and said, "Then who is the village chief now?"

Shi Lei smiled and said: "Who else can it be? My dad! It turns out that my family is on par with his family. Now that Liu Zhi is the secretary, my family must be the village head, otherwise Wolong Village belongs to his Liu family. Well, my dad being the village head is also helpful to our mine, but..."

Shi Lei sighed, and continued: "It's just that my dad's ability to make relationships is far worse than Liu Zhi's. Basically, he can't help much outside the field. It's Brother Hao Hui who comes forward to operate!"

Zhang Xiaobai suddenly thought of the scene at lunch, and asked, "You don't get along with your brother?"

Shi Lei said angrily: "You also know that we have been at odds since we were young, and I can give in to other things, but he dares to point fingers at your affairs. He is a white-eyed wolf. How could my family make so much money without you? He doesn't want to give you shares, give him face!"

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Don't quarrel with your brother because of me, at least for now, it's impossible for me to come back! As for the shares, even if I come back, I won't want them, you know me!"

Shi Lei hesitated to speak, then shook his head, he really understood what he was like.

Zhang Xiaobai asked again: "Is the competition between Pingyuan Quarry and Tianyu Mining fierce?"

The two mines have been separated for so long, so there will naturally be competition, but Zhang Xiaobai expected that with Zhao Tianhao's ability, he would not be at a disadvantage.

Shi Lei smiled and said, "How can there be any competition?"

Zhang Xiaobai is a little confused!
