After a conversation, the two deepened their understanding and had a very pleasant chat. After get off work, Chen Weidong invited him to have a drink together, and Li Rui agreed happily.

Just in the tavern arranged by Jiang Liansheng last time, the 15-year-old Maotai and farm-style local dishes had a unique flavor. After drinking three glasses of wine, Chen Weidong smiled and said, "Director Li, did you have any misunderstandings about me some time ago?"

"Misunderstanding? Maybe it's a bit, but this matter has passed." Li Rui picked up the wine glass and touched Shen Weidong for a while, and said with a smile.

"It's not Xiaohong saying something about me, right?" Chen Weidong smiled, but there seemed to be something else in his smile.

"Xiaohong? I almost forgot this person if you didn't mention it. She didn't say anything. By the way, I asked her to leave last time, so don't make things difficult for others." Li Rui said.

"Ah? You really didn't..." Chen Weidong said in surprise when he heard this.

"No! You don't make any arrangements for such things in the future."

"No, I have never seen her again since that day. I thought you gave her..." Chen Weidong quickly explained.

"I've kept it up, right? No, I let her go that day." Li Rui smiled and thought about it and added: "By the way, why did she say her mother is sick and she wants to make money to see her mother. I guess she's going home?"

"So that's the case, no wonder?" Chen Weidong nodded, then said with regret: "Director Li, it's such a pity. Xiaohong is really good. I also specifically asked the owner of the restaurant. Xiaohong is there and he is never published. It is said that it is still the original bud, so you don't..."

"If you have it, don't talk about all these useless things." It's fake to say that you don't regret it, especially now sitting with Shen Weidong. It seems that he didn't have any bad things that day, just to please him. If he had known this, he would have been there that day.

Li Rui waved the chopsticks in his hand and said impatiently: "You have a lot of money, and you have to pay 10,000 yuan to get a woman. Is this interesting? If you really have a lot of money, it's better to build a bridge, build a road, and help a few poor students do more good deeds."

"Hahaha, Director Li was joking. What's my little money? I'm afraid it's not as good as Gou Fugui." Chen Weidong said with a smile.

Li Rui felt aroused and asked, "How much money does that dog god have? You should know after all, are you a colleague?"

Chen Weidong pondered and stretched out a slap and gestured, "This number!"

Li Rui couldn't help but gasp: "Fifty million?" Damn, Zhang Zhuoyang had such a big background, and had only earned more than one billion yuan after working for several years. Zhao Wenlong was also the first group of people who became rich in reform and opening up. He was also very active, with only 30 to 40 million yuan. This Gou Fugui actually had so much money, and coal was indeed black gold!

Chen Weidong nodded, sighed again, with an obvious envy and jealousy on his face, and said, "It's almost the same."

"No wonder this dog-good guy is called the richest man in Nanqiao, and he is indeed rich." Li Rui sighed.

"Great wealth? Humph, it's not a collusion between officials and businessmen." Chen Weidong snorted coldly.

Li Rui looked at him and smiled and said, "You can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, right?"

Chen Weidong's face turned slightly red and he said unconvincedly: "Director Li, I'll tell you that it's fake to say that it's not envious to Gou Fugui's relationship network is fake. If it's related to this day, you can do things easily. But as long as you do things on the way, others will not say anything even if you envy them. But look at the things Gou Fugui does, is this still a matter? Let's not talk about the matter of Changshan Coal Mine, just talk about tax payment. Just hearing that he is the richest man in Nanqiao, I guess you have never heard of tax payments. He is the number one in Nanqiao County? The combined taxes of several coal mines are not as much as half of my Pingtian Coal Mine. Think about how much he paid less for so many years? I'm afraid it's already one-third of his total net worth. Isn't this digging a corner of the country?"

"Hey, you said he has several mines? What else is there except Chengdong Coal Mine and Changshan Coal Mine?" Li Rui asked in surprise. According to the registration of the Coal Management Bureau, Gou Fugui turned out to have only Chengdong Coal Mine and Changshan Coal Mine that had just been auctioned off.

Chen Weidong said mysteriously: "He has at least three or four small coal mines. He used other people's names when registering. Most of them were obtained through improper means, so he did not dare to use his own name."

"There is still this? Could it be that Gou Fugui is still involved in gangs?"

Chen Weidong shook his head and said, "It's not enough to be involved in gangs. He mainly walks with Bai Dao. Sometimes Bai Dao's methods are more ruthless than **, forcing you to transfer the mine to him."

Li Rui nodded and smiled, "No wonder you are all very enthusiastic about dealing with the leader."

Chen Weidong said frankly: "Actually, although we have made some money over the years, what we fear most is the government. If someone in the government cares about your property, you will probably become a pauper soon, and maybe there will be a prison. Why is Gou Fugui desperately engaged in relationships? On the one hand, he can get benefits, and on the other hand, he is also afraid that someone will think about it. Alas! In real cases, everyone understands what's going on. Businessmen and government are nothing more than just protecting wealth, making profits, and getting what they need, and having fair trades. This is the open rule of the game."

Li Rui had to admit that what Chen Weidong said made sense, and then deliberately brought the topic to the nude photo incident not long ago, and smiled and said, "What do you think about Gou Fugui being photographed last time?"

"You offend someone! But this matter cannot hurt Gou Fugui's vitality. At most, it is a little bit of reputation. However, his reputation has long been a bit stinking on the streets, and everyone knows it. Even Du Jinsong is unlucky! It is also possible that they went together. Their brother-in-law in pairs of shorts and together have done a lot of bad things. Maybe it was done by some coal boss who was cheated by them."

Chen Weidong drank two more drinks today and said a lot more than usual. After having a drink with Li Rui, he then took the initiative to say, "By the way, Director Li, last time you asked me about the Changshan Coal Mine, it was not that I deliberately refused to answer, but mainly because it involved some secrets that cannot be told. Please forgive me."

Li Rui had long realized that when he went to Pingtian Coal Mine to inspect that day, he asked about the situation of Changshan Coal Mine. Chen Weidong deliberately changed the topic and looked at him with a smile and said, "It's all here, what else can you say?"

Chen Weidong smiled and said, "Today I treat you as a friend and I have said everything. Don't use the secrets in this industry to make things difficult for me in the future?"

Li Rui smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I have always regarded you as a friend."

Chen Weidong Road: "Actually, it's nothing. As long as you stay in the Coal Management Bureau for a long time, you will naturally know. If we have more than 80 coal mines of all sizes in Nanqiao County, according to the mining reserves approved by our superiors, at least half of them are closed now. Why are everyone still alive?"

Li Rui understood a little and asked, "So you are all mining across the border?"

Chen Weidong smiled but didn't answer, and the answer was obviously that's it.

Li Rui then asked: "Is Changshan Coal Mine also able to explore new veins?"

Chen Weidong took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth while chewing it, saying, "Actually, there is no need to explore. There is a small coal mine behind the mountain, which is Gou Fugui. He knew very well that it would take time to open a new work surface."

"Oh!" Li Rui suddenly understood: the deputy mine manager stopped him and refused to let him go to the mine. It was not a bullshit safety issue, but a fear that he would find out the tricks.

Li Rui then asked: "The bureau has inspections every year, and the superiors often check in random inspections. Can't they find it?"

"Hahaha..." Chen Weidong laughed, "Every time you come down and notify me a few days in advance, the mine owners have made arrangements long ago. Those who are familiar with the inside story are old friends. Everyone is tacit understanding each other, it's just this..." His index finger and thumb twisted.

Li Rui knew at a glance that it was meant to use money to bribe. It was paralyzed. This is the so-called industry rules! He really couldn't move. As long as he moved, everyone below had to rebel.

Chen Weidong continued: "This is an open secret of the coal industry. It is like this everywhere. Everyone is just working together to make money."

One afternoon, we exchanged with Shen Weidong. The knowledge of Zhente's mother, even the guy who usually said that Chen Weidong told him about what he really wanted to call him a friend. After a lot of interest, the two killed the two bottles of fifteen-year-old Moutai that Chen Weidong took out from the car. Chen Weidong was obviously a little overdose, and Li Rui quickly called his driver and helped them into the car. The tavern was on a small street at the corner of Tuanjie Road, not far from the old house. Li Rui refused Chen Weidong's advice to send it, and walked slowly back along Xiangyang Road alone.

In addition to the street lights of Renmin Road and Bayi Road, Nanqiao County also has this Tuanjie Road, because the county party committee family compound is located on this road. Under the dim street lights, Li Rui walked slowly by himself, drinking a bottle of white wine. Even though the temperature is only seven or eight degrees, Li Rui still felt a heat on his body. This week, Gao Jie accompanied the Mining Bureau's inspection team to inspect the developed areas of the southeast coast. It is said that he had to go around Hong Kong and Macau for two weeks. Thinking that he had to fight against Japan for ten days, Li Rui cursed in his heart: It's paralyzed, the Mining Bureau said it was just mining coal, and there was no coal in the southeast coast. What's the point of investigation? Hong Kong and Macau are just public tourism.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the Li Family Courtyard Hutong, a bicycle passed by him. A young girl drifted in the wind with a unique body fragrance of the girl. Li Rui couldn't help but take a deep breath. The smell was so intoxicating!

"Huh!" The girl riding a bicycle suddenly stopped, turned around and carefully identified by the light of the street light. She couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother, it turns out that it's really you!"
