Although Xia Ruofei's words weren't pleasant to hear and his tone was unyielding, Wu Liqian couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in her heart. She knew very well that Xia Ruofei's anger was entirely because of her.
Otherwise, from the perspective of the Taoyuan Company, it didn't matter whether Changping County contacted her, the Deputy County Head, or Liu Haojun, the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, as long as the preferential policies were in place.
It was like going to a restaurant to eat. As long as the food was to their taste, it was fine. As for whether the restaurant changed the chef, the customer wouldn't care!
But Xia Ruofei, this' customer ', not only did he care about it, but he also reacted so fiercely and in such a tough manner. There could only be one reason for this, and that was that he was fighting for justice for Wu Liqian, the' chef '.
At that moment, Wu Liqian thought of all the injustices she had suffered after Liu Haojun took office. She suddenly had the urge to cry. She forced herself to hold back the tears that were about to rush out of her eyes. She took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions.
"Ruofei, listen to me …" Wu Liqian tried her best to remain calm. "I'm very grateful that you're fighting for justice for me, but this is related to the development of Changping County. From the perspective of your company, it's not good for you to have such a bad relationship with the local government …"
Xia Ruofei didn't care. "Sister Qian, I've said before that our company's focus isn't in Changping County. There's only one farm here. To be honest, as long as we have the core technology, I can open another farm like this anytime. It won't cost much. So, your reason isn't valid!"
"Ruofei …"
"Listen to me first!" Xia Ruofei interrupted Wu Liqian. "As for the development of Changping County, I'm sorry, but I don't have the obligation to help Changping County develop. If I'm poor, I'll take care of myself. If I'm rich, I'll take care of the world. I haven't reached the level where I can take care of the world. Plus, I can't even take care of my friends. How can I take care of the world? "
At this point, Xia Ruofei spoke with a firm tone: "So, don't try to persuade me about this matter. I know how to deal with it! As for that Liu Haojun, don't think too highly of him. In Beijing's circle, he's just a plaything that can't be brought to the table! I'm not so weak that I can't even defeat a hedonistic son of a rich family! "
After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Wu Liqian was silent for a few seconds and then said softly, "Okay … Ruofei, thank you!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Sister Qian, you don't have to be so polite with me. We are friends!"
Wu Liqian's tears almost flowed out of her eyes again. She gently bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth and resisted the urge to sob. With tears in her eyes, she revealed a smile and said, "En! It's good to have a friend like you … "
When Xia Ruofei heard Wu Liqian's soft voice, his heart suddenly moved slightly.
He thought of the information about Liu Haojun that Zhao Yongjun had revealed to him. The reason why Liu Haojun had been "sent away" from Beijing in advance had caught Xia Ruofei's attention.
At that time, Liu Haojun had been sent away because of his lifestyle problems. He couldn't stay in Beijing any longer, so his family had arranged for him to be sent away in advance. More importantly, Liu Haojun had taken advantage of his subordinates in his own department. After taking advantage of them, he didn't want to take responsibility. That was why the matter had become so big.
Xia Ruofei immediately thought of Wu Liqian. After all, Wu Liqian was a standard beauty! And in her early thirties, she was most attractive. For people of the same age, needless to say, those slightly older people would definitely be attracted by a young woman like Wu Liqian. In the eyes of young people in their teens and twenties, how could those girls of the same age be a match for a mature woman like Wu Liqian?
Therefore, Wu Liqian was at the stage of being attractive to people of any age. In addition, she was single. It was hard to guarantee that Liu Haojun wouldn't have any bad thoughts.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei asked, "Sister Qian, besides jumping out to compete with you for political achievements, did Liu Haojun do anything else out of line?"
Wu Liqian hesitated for a moment. Naturally, she was full of grievances and wanted to pour out her grievances. However, when she thought about how the project had already made Xia Ruofei so impulsive, if she told him what Liu Haojun had done during this period of time, wouldn't Xia Ruofei rush to the county committee's courtyard to teach Liu Haojun a lesson?
Just as Wu Liqian was in a dilemma, Xia Ruofei continued to say, "Sister Qian, don't try to hide anything. I think if Liu Haojun really did something, it wouldn't be difficult for me to find out … "
"You …" Wu Liqian was slightly uncomfortable with Xia Ruofei's forcefulness, but she had to admit that Xia Ruofei's words made sense.
The fact that Liu Haojun had been pestering her was no secret in the system of Changping County. It might even have been spread throughout the officialdom of the three mountains. With Xia Ruofei's connections in the three mountains, he could ask anyone and everything would be clear.
Therefore, as long as Xia Ruofei was determined to investigate, Wu Liqian really didn't have much meaning in hiding it.
Thinking of this, Wu Liqian sighed and said, "Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you my grievances! These days, I've been really suffocating … But you have to promise me that after you hear it, you can't be impulsive, and you can't use any extreme methods. Otherwise, even if you're in the right, you'll become unreasonable … "
Xia Ruofei said without hesitation, "Don't worry! I promise you … "
Wu Liqian secretly let out a sigh of relief. She didn't expect Xia Ruofei to immediately say, "I definitely won't cripple him!"
Wu Liqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said coquettishly, "Ruofei, if you continue to be like this, I won't say anything!"
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said, "I'm just joking with you! Why did you take it so seriously? Don't worry about it! I'm a law-abiding citizen, so I definitely won't do anything that violates the law! "
"Then you have to remember what you said!" Wu Liqian said.
"Remember, remember! I'll definitely remember! "Xia Ruofei promised casually.
Only then did Wu Liqian tell Xia Ruofei about how Liu Haojun had been pestering her ever since he took office. She had clearly rejected him many times and even spoke harshly to him in front of the members of the Standing Committee. Then, she told Xia Ruofei about how Liu Haojun had tried to exclude and isolate her at work.
As Xia Ruofei listened, he slowly clenched his fists, and his face became very ugly.
Fortunately, there was no one around him at the moment. Otherwise, they would definitely feel that the temperature of the air around him seemed to have dropped a lot. He was like a sharp sword that had been unsheathed, making people shudder.
"This grandson is really despicable!" Xia Ruofei said, "He's already been kicked out of Beijing, and he still doesn't know how to behave himself. It seems that he's really a pile of mud that can't be supported! I don't know what kind of sin Elder Liu has committed, but his descendants are all so disappointing … "
After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Wu Liqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Because Xia Ruofei's tone sounded like an elder, as if he was Liu Haojun's elder. However, even though she felt a little awkward, she also felt that her anger had been vented.
Maybe it was because she had poured out all her troubles, or maybe it was because of Xia Ruofei's words, but Wu Liqian felt that her depressed mood had been lifted a lot.
Wu Liqian asked curiously, "Elder Liu? Which Elder Liu? "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You don't know? He's Liu Haojun's grandfather! He's the old chief with a thunderous name! "
After that, Xia Ruofei lowered his voice and said a name.
He clearly heard Wu Liqian take a deep breath on the other end of the phone. She couldn't help but laugh and say, "Sister Qian, I thought you already knew! There's a 'paratrooper' in the team, and you didn't even know his family background clearly? There's something wrong with your intelligence work! "
Wu Liqian wasn't in the mood to joke. She said hurriedly, "Ruofei, why don't we just let this go? You can take a step back and contact Changping normally. Even if you don't want to invest in this project in Changping, don't offend them too much … "
Xia Ruofei sneered and said, "Why should I?"
Wu Liqian said resentfully, "I only knew that Liu Haojun was a cadre from Beijing, and that his family might have some background, but I didn't expect him to be … that person's grandson. You don't have to make such a big enemy for me …"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Sister Qian, you're too late. I've already offended Family Liu, and it has nothing to do with Liu Haojun!"
"Ah?" Wu Liqian was stunned.
"I'm not lying to you!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "If you don't believe me, you can find a chance to call Auntie Tian and find out more about her! My relationship with Family Liu shouldn't be a secret in Beijing's social circle … "
"It's not that I don't believe you, but how could you … how could you …"
"How could I go against Family Liu?" Xia Ruofei said with a relaxed smile. "It's because I have a strong sense of justice! I can't stand people who use their family's power to do whatever they want, and when I see injustice, I want to do something about it! "
"I can't believe you can still laugh …" Wu Liqian said helplessly.
In her opinion, the Liu family was definitely an unreachable super behemoth. One had to know that she was only a small deputy director. Not to mention the old man who had retired from the core leadership of the Liu family. When he was in power, he would appear on the news every day. Other than him, the Liu family also had countless department and bureau level cadres. They were definitely a formidable behemoth.
Therefore, Wu Liqian's first reaction was to be extremely worried. She was worried about Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Why can't I laugh? Anyway, it's not me who's at a disadvantage … Besides, Family Liu is Family Liu. How can small shrimps like Liu Haojun and Liu Haofan be equal to Family Liu? Due to some special reasons, Family Liu definitely won't dare to do anything to me. Just relying on a small character like Liu Haojun, without the support of the family, isn't it asking for humiliation if he wants to do anything to me? "
When Wu Liqian heard this, although she found it hard to believe, she had absolute trust in Xia Ruofei. Therefore, after hearing this, Wu Liqian didn't seem to be worried anymore. She was full of confidence in Xia Ruofei.
Then, Xia Ruofei comforted Wu Liqian with a few more words, and then hung up the phone.
Xia Ruofei lit a cigarette, silently smoked half of it, and then stubbed it out. He picked up the phone on the desk, found Lei Hu's number, and dialed it.
"Brother Xia! What are your orders? "Lei Hu quickly answered the phone and asked respectfully.
"If you don't have anything urgent on hand, come to my office first." Xia Ruofei said lightly.
"Okay, I'll be right there!" Lei Hu said.
Now, the security of the new headquarters was mainly handled by Lei Hu. Ye Linyun stayed more at the farm. He was more interested in making tea, so the security was gradually handed over to Lei Hu.
Two minutes later, Lei Hu appeared in Xia Ruofei's office.
Xia Ruofei gestured for Lei Hu to sit down, and then said, "Huzi, there's something I need a few brothers to help with …"
"Brother Xia, if there's anything you need, just tell us directly!" Lei Hu grinned. "Now that the security team has expanded a lot, the brothers' work is usually very relaxed. All of them feel ashamed of the high salary the company gave them!"
Xia Ruofei said seriously, "This matter … has a certain risk, so it's all voluntary. No matter what the final result is, each of the brothers who participate will get two hundred thousand! If the worst really happens, the brothers who are caught will get one million, and the company will take care of the elderly and children in their families! Of course, the possibility of this happening is not high. If there's really a problem, I can send the brothers to Australia to avoid the limelight. It just so happens that I need a few of my own people to help with my business there … "
When Lei Hu heard this, his heart trembled slightly.
He knew that what Xia Ruofei wanted them to do was definitely not simple, and it was very likely to be illegal. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so serious about it.
A trace of hesitation flashed through his heart, but Lei Hu quickly said with a firm look, "Brother Xia, since the day we joined the company, our lives have been handed over to you! Say it! What do you need us to do? We won't frown even if we have to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a pot of boiling oil! "
Xia Ruofei laughed and scolded, "Why are you saying it so solemnly? It's not as dangerous as you think. I'm just preparing for a rainy day … "
Lei Hu laughed and said, "Brother Xia, you can just give us the task! Also, you've already given the brothers a very high salary. Why do you need to give us so much extra money to do something small for you? You can just tell us directly! "
Xia Ruofei said, "Of course I have to give you the money. After all, this is not a task within the scope of work, and you have to bear a certain amount of risk. That's what you deserve!"
Lei Hu grinned and didn't say anything else.
Although he looked rough, he was actually very meticulous. He also knew that the money Xia Ruofei was going to take out was not just a reward for them, but also meant to keep their mouths shut.
Taking the money was equivalent to agreeing to this task, and no matter how things developed in the future, this matter would rot in their hearts. Even if they were unfortunately caught, this matter would definitely have nothing to do with Xia Ruofei and the Taoyuan Company.
Xia Ruofei naturally knew that Lei Hu was a smart man. There was no need to say it out loud. A little advice was enough.
He smiled and continued, "This task needs three to five people. You're one of them, and the rest of the people are up to you to decide. It's still the same sentence. Everything is voluntary, and the other people must be absolutely reliable!"
"Understood!" Lei Hu stood up and said, "I'll go and settle the matter of the people first, and then I'll come to you to accept the task!"
