What? A bitter and powerless smile appeared on Chen Quanqing's face again. If those reporters were so easy to bribe, he wouldn't have to stand here and worry now. The cash he carried with him had been used up. It was not convenient for him to withdraw money in this rural area. Moreover, he had a hunch that those reporters might not be bribed even with money.
Lao Chen, don't dawdle. The reporters in the provincial capital are not like the small reporters in the county. They can't be offended. You'd better find a way to deal with them quickly. If you are really targeted by these flies, you will be in trouble. Tan Ming nudged Chen Quanqing. To him, the word "reporter" was clearly not a good word. It wasn't very likable. At least, that was how Tan Ming saw it.
"Okay, I'll go back and try again." Chen Quanqing nodded, turned around and walked upstairs to the office. He could only make a desperate attempt.
Tan Ming stared at Chen Quanqing's back. He stood in the same place and pondered for a while. Then he turned around and walked out again. He guessed that Chen Quanqing was in big trouble this time. The reporters in the provincial capital were not at the same level as those in the county. Before Chen Quanqing settled the matter, Tan Ming decided to keep a little distance from Chen Quanqing. At this time, he simply pretended that he had never been to the small office building.
The drive from the county to Dawu Town took more than half an hour. When Chen Xing arrived in town, he directly contacted Tan Ming, the director of the police station. Tan Ming had already taken a car to the side of the road to pick him up. He had just left Chen Quanqing's factory when he received a call from Chen Xing, so he ran out to greet him.
"Have you found him?" Chen Xing picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time.
"County Chen hasn't been found yet, but it should be soon. As long as he is in the area of the plastic factory, I believe that he can be found." Tan Ming carefully replied to Chen Xing's words. He secretly said in his heart, "Chen Quanqing, Chen Quanqing, I have been very loyal to you. I have not let down your filial piety in the past. This time, I can only help you so much. Next, you have to pray for more luck."
"Where is the plastic factory? Go there now." Chen Xing sent a message.
Tan Ming nodded and got into his car. Chen Xing's driver led the way in front. The two cars stopped on the road next to the plastic factory. Tan Ming pointed to the office building that was still lit. That was the plastic factory. There was only one plastic factory near the town center. County Chen should be talking about this place.
Well … Chen Xing turned his head and glanced at the plastic factory. If there was only one plastic factory here, then this should be the place that Jiang Feng mentioned. However, he hadn't found Jiang Feng yet. Did something really happen? Before he came, he couldn't get through to Jiang Feng's phone. Jiang Feng's first call was also hung up quickly. Other than hearing Jiang Feng's anxious tone, he couldn't get any other information. With a slight frown, Chen Xing took out his phone and tried to call Jiang Feng again.
Eh? Chen Xing was surprised. The call went through this time. "Miss Jiang, where are you now?"
"I'm in the plastic factory, near the center of Da Wu Town. Where is County Chen now?" Jiang Feng wasn't sure if Chen Xing had arrived in Da Wu Town.
"You're next to the plastic factory. Is there a two-story white building in the plastic factory you mentioned?"
"Yes, I'm in the small building." Jiang Feng's voice was obviously a little happy. Now that Chen Xing had arrived, her heart was finally at ease. Even if she believed that the plastic factory owner in his thirties would not dare to do anything to them, it was not the same thing to be entangled with him and unable to leave. Who knew if he would do something desperate?
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Chen Xing hung up the phone and turned to look at Tan Ming. There was no need to look for him. He was inside.
In the office building, Chen Quanqing almost pricked up his ears to listen to Jiang Feng's phone conversation. When he heard Jiang Feng call out County Chen's name, Chen Quanqing's heart was in his throat. He tried hard to listen to what was said on the other end of the phone. He moved his buttocks a few places from the sofa. When he got closer to Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng had already put down the phone.
"Miss Jiang, it's really hard for us to earn money. We don't make much money all year round, and we have to show our filial piety to all kinds of people. It's really not easy to do business. You're big reporters from the provincial capital. Why do you have to make things difficult for me, a villager? I sincerely want to make friends with you. If you're willing to make friends with me, I'm willing to give you another promise, in addition to the gifts on the table. Chen Quanqing pointed at the three eye-catching red envelopes on the glass coffee table in front of the three of them and raised two fingers. When he said this, Chen Quanqing felt his heart bleeding. The red envelopes he gave out this time could be said to be bleeding. In the past, he had never spent so much money to send the people who came down for inspection. They usually gave each of them more than a thousand yuan. Chen Quanqing's heart was bleeding.
Jiang Feng and the other two couldn't help but feel their hearts beating a few times. The boss of a plastic factory in a small town was so generous that it really surprised them. Even a well-known reporter like Jiang Feng had to admit that the temptation was big enough. After Chen Quanqing came back from a trip, he had already increased the amount of the red envelopes and promised to give each of them one more. That was equivalent to Jiang Feng sixty thousand yuan and the other two twenty thousand yuan each. Since they didn't have any cash, Chen Quanqing said that they could write a written receipt. This time, Chen Quanqing obviously didn't mean the double earlier, but if they gave out the red envelopes on the table, he would double it again. Jiang Feng ninety thousand yuan and the other two thirty thousand yuan each. This was not a small amount at all. To Jiang Feng and the others, it was completely an unexpected fortune. They came down to grab some news material and didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
What do you think, Miss Jiang? I sincerely want to make friends with you. Chen Quanqing sincerely looked at the few of them. Although he could not wait to tie them up and throw them directly into Wu Xi next to the plastic factory, he had to put on an expression. Just now when Jiang Feng received the phone call, Chen Quanqing guessed that it was Chen Xing who called, and listening to Jiang Feng's tone, it seemed that the other party had already arrived here. Chen Quanqing could not help but be anxious. The county magistrate had already come here, it could be seen that the seriousness of the matter was obvious. The leader of the three, Jiang Feng, was obviously not someone to be trifled with. Only the other party was acquainted with the county magistrate. Chen Quanqing was willing to pay such a big price, hoping that he could deal with Jiang Feng. As for the other two, he could see that they listened to Jiang Feng.
Thank you, Boss Chen, for thinking so highly of us, but this gift is a bit too hot. We really can't accept it. Jiang Feng remained unmoved. When the other two people heard Jiang Feng's words, the disappointment in their eyes was almost written on their faces. Thirty thousand yuan was equivalent to several months of salary and bonus for them. This kind of temptation was fatal to two newcomers to the news agency. However, Jiang Feng had already rejected them, so how could they dare to extend their hands?
What, does Miss Jiang think it's too little? If it's too little, we can still discuss it. Chen Quanqing's brows twitched.
To be honest, Boss Chen's generosity really surprised me. However, I couldn't accept this red packet because I had my own principles and professional ethics. Didn't Boss Chen just scold that reporters weren't good people? Usually, it wasn't rare to see reporters take advantage of the interview opportunity to take bribes. I think what Boss Chen said was reasonable. In reality, there were indeed some reporters who did that, but not all reporters were like that. At least, I wasn't like that. Today, I actually hoped that I could change Boss Chen's view of reporters. Jiang Feng looked at Chen Quanqing with a hint of sarcasm.
Chen Quanqing smiled helplessly. He wanted to slap himself. Why did he say all that? However, he didn't know that Jiang Feng had such a powerful background and was even acquainted with the county magistrate.
I was just saying it casually. Miss Jiang, you don't have to take it to heart. Chen Quanqing laughed dryly. He would rather hope that Jiang Feng was the kind of person who took bribes. At least, it would be easy to deal with him. Jiang Feng seemed to be stubborn, which would be troublesome.
When the few security guards of the plastic factory saw unfamiliar faces approaching, they wanted to stop them. However, when they saw Tan Ming following behind Chen Xing, they all shrunk back. They didn't recognize Chen Xing, but they recognized Tan Ming, the police station chief. He had just been talking to their boss, but they didn't know why he had returned with a stranger.
Chief Tan … A security guard came up to Tan Ming and tried to say a few words to him.
Uh-huh. Tan Ming coughed loudly and glared fiercely at the security guard who had spoken, afraid that he would reveal that he had been here.
Who's upstairs? Is your factory director here? Tan Ming asked the security guard with a straight face. His acting skills were top-notch.
Yes, yes, I'll bring you up now. The security guard was as silent as a cicada in winter. He had also forgotten Chen Quanqing's instructions to not let anyone in. In the eyes of the security guards, Tan Ming was not an outsider. They often saw Chen Quanqing and Tan Ming calling each other brothers.
There was a knock on the door. Tan Ming stood beside Chen Xing and twisted the door lock. The door was locked from the inside. Tan Ning reached out and knocked.
The person who opened the door was Chen Quanqing. Tan Ming glanced at Chen Quanqing and quickly spoke. Factory Director Chen, this is County Magistrate Chen of the county.
County Magistrate Chen, nice to meet you. I didn't expect County Magistrate Chen to come to a small place like mine. I'm deeply honored. Chen Quanqing seemed to have seen Tan Ming's hint. He didn't take the initiative to greet Tan Ming. The two of them pretended not to know each other.
