After hearing the girl's thrust, Wu Hao's face turned blue and white, but he lowered his head and didn't say anything, just pretending that Chen Huai's accident appeared, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

The pretty short-haired girl sitting opposite Wu Hao resented her dissatisfiedly at the wavy girl, "Sister, can you say a few less words?"

"I didn't say anything. I was talking about it and treating guests to dinner, but I came to such a place. Isn't it okay to say a few words?"

"Wu Hao and I made an appointment to meet here, but you didn't say you wanted to come here. What else can you do if you have come here? Let's change places to have dinner in the evening, will it be done?" The pretty short-haired girl was so angry that she almost cried when she saw Wu Hao. She begged her sister to say less.

"Just he, what place can he change? Donghua Wenhua or Shangxi Garden? Or Huaihai Ying Hotel?" The girl with a look of disdain, "I didn't mean to him. I didn't say that I wanted to come at the beginning, and I didn't say anything. Just look at how he acted, see if he deserved you. He acted so well! It's also a blessing that you really praised him for being smart and know how to do things..."

Chen Huai was very innocent. Just because the girl in the wave curl accidentally mentioned Shangxiyuan, Cheng Yi stepped on him on the table.

Shangxiyuan Yiyuan Store has been open for more than half a year and has paid great attention to the placement of designated advertisements. I didn’t expect that it has formed a certain reputation in Xucheng’s high-end catering industry.

Chen Huai looked up at the wave curling girl, and saw that she was only twenty-two or three years old. However, her hair made her look vulgar and mature, and she looked like she was more beautiful than her actual age. Her face was just a beautiful one, but her big eyes showed a coquettish and contemptuous look. No matter how you look at it, she was not a good person.

Seeing that her mouth was as fast as a knife, and she didn't feel restrained because of their appearance. Chen Huai thought that she was so storming and tearing her face, probably to humiliate and anger Wu Hao so that she could completely destroy the relationship between Wu Hao and the pretty short-haired girl?

Thinking of Yang Lin's brother-in-law's wife's performance yesterday, Chen Huai couldn't help but sigh: It's really hard for everyone to have relatives to serve. No wonder Wu Hao pretended not to see them just now. It turned out that he didn't want this unbearable scene to let him see it.

Chen Huai hesitated to change the table and have this meal quietly with Cheng Yi.

Wu Hao is just an ordinary young teacher in the Provincial Party School. He is the life teacher in the further training class of Chen Huai and others. To put it bluntly, he is the life manager.

When studying at the Party School, some students would discuss it perfunctorily in order to stay away or other conveniences; once they graduated and left the Party School, few people would remember that there was such a person in the Party School.

Seeing that Wu Hao was trying hard to control himself and walked away without falling away, and also cherishing his relationship with a short-haired girl, Chen Huai sighed softly in his heart.

Looking at the short-haired girl, she should be sisters with the wavy girl, with a face and a naive and pure temperament. She is really a pretty girl, more beautiful than her sister. Chen Huai thought that even if she cherishes her relationship with Wu Hao at this time, how long can she last with the long-term indoctrination of her family and the continuous impact of material-first society?

Someone left at the next table after dinner, and Chen Huai wanted to change the table with Cheng Yi without mixing with other people's private affairs.

The girl pulled her sister a few clothes before she was a little restrained. But looking at the bun in front of her, she picked up the disposable bamboo chopsticks and couldn't help saying, "Your brother-in-law takes me to eat Western food every day, and I don't know how to use chopsticks..."

Hearing this, Chen Huai directly reached over with chopsticks, picked up a small bun, handed it to the girl's mouth of the wave-curling girl, and said, "I feel so touched when you say that: I drive every day and can't even walk. Don't be polite to me, I'll help you pick it up..."

Cheng Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing and almost poured a mouthful of noodles on Huai's face.

The girl choked Chen Huai for a moment, her pretty face turned blue with anger, and she glanced at Chen Huai hard. She picked up the chopsticks and wanted to open the small bun handed over by Chen Huai. Chen Huai shrank his chopsticks when he saw the opportunity and stuffed the small bun into his mouth, which was a good advantage.

A guest at the next table left after eating. Chen Huai looked at Wu Hao's unbearable appearance and couldn't bear to see him in such a mess anymore. He patted his shoulder and said, "I won't disturb you for dinner. Cheng Yi and I will sit over..." Then he held the noodle bowl and moved to the next table with Cheng Yi.

"You are too immoral," Cheng Yi couldn't help laughing, leaned over and whispered to Chen Huai, looked back at Wu Hao's back, and asked Chen Huai, "How could this happen? I see that Mr. Wu is also a handsome man. He went to the Party School as a teacher at such a young age. He is also a highly educated talent. He wouldn't be so disgusted, right?"

Chen Huai shrugged. The present is just a vulgar world. The situation like Wu Hao encountered is the real normal state of society. It is no different from the social essence that Cheng Yi has been in contact since childhood.

Chen Huai was about to say something to Cheng Yi when the cell phone in the girl's bag rang.

He looked over with Cheng Yi and saw the girl who took out an Ericsson cell phone from her bag. She glanced at this side contemptuously before answering the phone. She shouted at the other end of the phone: "Where have you been? Why are you replying to my phone now? I've been bullied to death, and Xiaoli couldn't listen to my advice. I'm going to be so angry that you're happy, right? I don't care about you, you have to come and pick me up if you feel bad..."

Chen Huai and Cheng Yi ate noodles on their own. In less than five minutes, a man in a green trench coat and nearly forty years old came upstairs to the side, holding his cell phone in his right hand and a car key ring with his left hand. His face was dark and he was not good-looking. His hair was combed backwards. He walked to Wu Hao and his other table and dragged a chair to sit down.

The man knew Wu Hao. He looked at the pastry on the table with disgust and said, "Wu Hao, why did you bring Xiaoli to such a place for dinner? Didn't you lose the airs of your provincial party school? Besides, Xiaoli is such a beautiful girl, are you really willing to bring her to such a messy place for dinner?"

Seeing that the man came over, he was about to tread Wu Hao under his feet. Chen Huai thought that he would be very worthy of the wave roll. Chen Huai and Cheng Yi had eaten almost the same food, and he didn't even intend to watch others as a slander. However, this kind of relationship between men and women was not something he could interfere with, so he stood up and said goodbye to Wu Hao: "Teacher Wu, let's go first..."

Chen Huai helped Cheng Yi get his bag and stood up to leave. When the man saw Chen Huai's face, he was startled. He jumped up from the chair like a pug that was stepping on his tail and said hello: "County Magistrate Chen, why are you eating here too?"

Chen Huai glanced at the man with a slight face and didn't know him. He saw that he was wearing a high-end suit in his windbreaker, but the collar of his shirt was open, and he wanted to hang the gold necklace on his neck outside the collar. He asked in confusion: "I know you?"

"I am Zhu Ziqiang from Dacheng Coal Industry. Zhaopu Iron Smelting Plant was reorganized. I should have visited County Mayor Chen, but you were busy in Yushan at that time and didn't dare to disturb you. Last time, I went to Xinpu with Mr. Sun from Huai Coal. I met County Mayor Chen, and I have to take more care of County Mayor Chen in the future..." The man hurriedly took out his business card from his pocket and handed it over respectfully.

Chen Huai had some impression of Dacheng Coal Industry. It was a private coal trading company and was once a supplier of the Shopu Iron Smelting Plant. However, after the restructuring of the Shopu Iron Smelting Plant, Meigang carried out rectification of the supply chain. Dacheng Coal Industry only became one of the coking coal suppliers of the Shopu Iron Smelting Plant, but it was not eliminated.

Although the coal industry is generally sluggish and there are few state-owned coal companies in Huaixi that can make profits, many coal traders live a good life. Judging from Zhu Ziqiang's style, they are probably one of them. This situation is very similar to the Donghua Steel Group back then.

The inefficiency and heavy burden of state-owned coal enterprises is an important factor that makes it difficult for coal enterprises to make profits. The more critical factor is that in order to protect large power generation enterprises and industrial enterprises, the domestic market is actually strictly a dual-track system for coal prices.

Coal companies implement planned prices for coal supplying coal to Huadian, Huaineng and other state-owned large and medium-sized thermal power companies, as well as large state-owned coal-consuming enterprises, commonly known as "planned coal". In addition, coal companies supply coal to the market and implement market prices, commonly known as market coal.

There is a huge price gap between planned coal and market coal. If you can get the indicators of planned coal and resell them in the market, you can make a lot of profits without any merchandise, which also makes the Huaihai coal trading market have a large number of coal traders of this kind of rent-seeking nature.

In addition to planned coal, state-owned coal companies could have made a profit by supplying them to the market. However, due to the proliferation of rent-seeking behavior, a considerable amount of coal resources fell into the hands of these traders with the indicator of planned coal, and these traders were supplied to the market. The final profit was naturally intercepted. How could state-owned coal companies not lose money?

Before the completion of Xinpu Steel Plant, Meigang consumed less than tens of thousands of tons of coking coal every year, and it was mainly purchased from traders on the market. However, after the completion of Xinpu Steel Plant, the annual total consumption of coking coal and coke of Meigang will surge to 1.67 million tons, which requires a long-term supply contract to be signed directly with large coal companies. Therefore, Shenhuai does not pay much attention to coal traders on the market.

"Oh, it turns out that you are Zhu Ziqiang, okay, I understand," Chen Huai said, and handed the business card back to Zhu Ziqiang, patted Wu Hao's shoulder, and said, "We will contact you another day when you have time. Cheng Yi and I have to go shopping in the mall..." As he said that, he went downstairs with Cheng Yi first.

After Chen Huai made a light statement, he handed over the business card. Logically speaking, this is a very rude behavior, but what qualifications does Zhu Ziqiang have to care about this with Chen Huai?

Zhu Ziqiang was hitting this stick here, and the meaning of Chen Huai's simple action was clear: You, Zhu Ziqiang, can't even get into my Chen Huai's eyes, I, Chen Huai, don't want to have anything to do with you, Zhu Ziqiang.

If Chen Huai was an ordinary county magistrate, Zhu Ziqiang could not afford to offend him, but he could still afford to hide.

However, Zhu Ziqiang sells tens of thousands of tons of coking coal to Meigang every year, so of course he knows who the real controller behind Meigang is. If he throws Meigang's order, it will be a profit of hundreds of thousands of yuan for him. Why don't he be anxious?

More importantly, Zhu Ziqiang knew how attractive and influence the large order of 1.5 million tons of coking coal after the completion of Xinpu Steel Plant will have on Huai Coal Group.
