Boss Chen was really everywhere. Jiang Feng gave Chen Quanqing a sarcastic look. It was hard for Jiang Feng not to associate the abnormalities that happened today with Chen Quanqing. Only Chen Quanqing himself knew what he did after they left last night. It was conceivable that if it wasn't for Chen Quanqing, these villagers would not have behaved so strangely today.
I sincerely want to treat Miss Jiang and the others to a meal. Chen Quanqing's attitude was very sincere.
There were no real decent hotels in the town. Chen Quanqing went to a restaurant he usually went to, which was already the best restaurant in Dawu Town. It was a five-story building. Chen Quanqing paid attention to Jiang Feng all the time and said with a smile. This place couldn't be compared with the provincial capital. Miss Jiang and the others had to laugh at him.
Boss Chen was too polite. Just find a place to eat. There was no need to spend so much money. Jiang Feng said indifferently. She had accepted Chen Quanqing's invitation because she wanted to see what tricks Chen Quanqing had up his sleeves. The villagers they met today all avoided them as if they had seen a ghost. If this continued, there was no way they could continue the interview.
The small private room was decorated quite stylishly. Chen Quanqing sat opposite Jiang Feng, casually flipped through the menu, and waved his hand. "Give me one of the most expensive dishes in your restaurant."
Jiang Feng opened her mouth and swallowed her words. Chen Quanqing was full of pride, but in her eyes, he was full of the image of a rich man, and she despised him more from the bottom of her heart.
There was nothing to show in this small place, but several wild animals were hunted down from the mountain, which was worth a try. Miss Chen and the others could have a try later. Chen Quanqing said with a smile.
"Oh, it turns out that Boss Chen is here. Why didn't you inform me in advance? I would have prepared all the banquet for you." A middle-aged man walked straight in without knocking on the door. He seemed to be very familiar with Chen Quanqing. While speaking, he glanced at Jiang Feng and the others, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"President Deng is so busy. How can I bother you?" Chen Quanqing smiled.
"No matter how busy I am, I can't neglect you, Boss Chen. Boss Chen, you are such a distinguished guest." The middle-aged man smiled disapprovingly. "Boss Chen, who are the distinguished guests you invited today? They seem to be a little unfamiliar."
Haha, these esteemed guests from the provincial capital are all big reporters from the provincial newspaper. Chen Quanqing smiled.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was relieved. It turned out to be a reporter from the provincial capital. Just now, he was still wondering who these young people were and how they could make Chen Quanqing treat them with such great fanfare. Just now, he heard from the waiter that Chen Quanqing was going to serve all the most expensive dishes in the restaurant, so he specially came over to take a look. At first, when he saw that Jiang Feng and the others were so young, he felt strange in his heart. Previously, Chen Quanqing had always treated people to meals in his restaurant, but those officials had never been so young.
Jiang Feng and the others were not familiar with the middle-aged man, so naturally, they had nothing to say. Chen Quanqing briefly introduced the middle-aged man, and the three of them learned that he was the owner of the restaurant. Originally, they thought that the owner of the restaurant just saw Chen Quanqing coming to eat in the restaurant, so they came to say hello. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man sat down after exchanging greetings with Chen Quanqing and the others. He also talked and laughed with Jiang Feng and the others.
"Boss Chen is a famous industrialist and philanthropist in Dawu Town. You may not know, but last year, Boss Chen donated money to build a primary school in the mountain village and let the students move into new classrooms. The people praised him. The county and the town praised his deeds. Boss Chen is a well-known figure in Dawu Town and has a great reputation among the people." No one knew whether it was intentional or not, but the middle-aged man said such words casually.
"Mr. Deng, you must be joking. I'm not like what you said. I'm just doing what I should do within my ability. Seeing that the students in the mountain village don't even have a decent teaching building, I really feel bad if I don't do something for them." Chen Quanqing said emotionally, but in his heart, he was very happy. Today, he invited Jiang Feng and the others to dinner to solve a private matter, so he did not inform the owner of the restaurant. If it were in the past, he would have called in advance and asked the restaurant to prepare the banquet before coming over. Therefore, he was already familiar with the owner of the restaurant. Because it was a private matter, Chen Quanqing did not want to be disturbed.
Chen Quanqing did not want anyone to disturb him. When the owner of the restaurant came over earlier, Chen Quanqing had hoped that the other party would quickly leave after greeting him. The other party sitting down was completely out of Chen Quanqing's expectations, and Chen Quanqing had no way to signal the other party to leave. Chen Quanqing was already a little unhappy. At this moment, the other party was helping him advertise a good deed, and Chen Quanqing was instantly happy. He glanced at Jiang Feng and the others, and that faintly discernible sense of pride was needless to say. Look, he had done a good deed, and at least he was much better than those corrupt officials.
The middle-aged man was completely unintentional. When he heard that Jiang Feng and the others were reporters from the provincial newspaper, he did not know what happened yesterday. He thought that Jiang Feng and the others were hired by Chen Quanqing. After all, it was not uncommon for rich bosses to hire reporters to sing their praises. Therefore, the middle-aged man thought too much of himself and helped Chen Quanqing to promote his good deed. However, he accidentally played right into Chen Quanqing's hands. Jiang Feng and the others could not help but be surprised when they heard that. They did not expect that Chen Quanqing would also do something to accumulate merit for his ancestors.
Of course, Jiang Feng did not believe that Chen Quanqing pretended to be compassionate. She was more willing to believe that Chen Quanqing was purely paying for his own reputation. This kind of thing was not uncommon to her. However, no matter what the reason was, it was a good deed to build a teaching building for a school in the mountain area.
The middle-aged man was eloquent, and Chen Quanqing was happy to be silent. From time to time, he would say a few humble words. It was not until the middle-aged man left that Chen Quanqing said with a smile, "Mr. Deng is just a little too talkative.
I did not expect Mr. Chen to be a philanthropist. I have been disrespectful. "
Tsk, would you die if you don't speak in such a tone? Listening to Jiang Feng's tone, Chen Quanqing's heart was filled with disgust. He curled his lips resentfully, but he could not get angry. He still had to ask for help, so he had to swallow his anger. He could only keep his words in his stomach, but he still had to smile and pretend that he did not hear the sarcasm in Jiang Feng's words. "I just did a small thing. I don't deserve the title of philanthropist. Miss Jiang's words make me feel ashamed."
The dishes were served one by one. Although the restaurant in a small place did not have the service of a star hotel in a big city, the dishes were really rare game. Some of them were even fresh goods that had just been hunted down from the mountains. In big cities, one could not eat such fresh food. Dawu Town was near the mountains, and some people in the mountains did not know any common sense about protecting wild animals. Many people living in the mountains were equipped with hunting guns. They caught animals and sold them directly to the restaurant to make some extra money.
Chen Quanqing invited them to eat. Jiang Feng and the other two people symbolically moved their chopsticks, but they did not really eat. Seeing their posture, Chen Quanqing knew that they were also waiting for him to get to the point. He took out three checks from a wallet in his leather bag and pushed them in front of the three people one by one. Chen Quanqing had rushed to the bank in the morning. It was too conspicuous to put tens of thousands of yuan in a red envelope. It was better to use checks to save trouble and not attract too much attention.
Jiang Feng blinked and glanced at the check on the table. It was a whole one hundred thousand yuan. With last night's experience, Jiang Feng felt a lot less shocked at the moment. Chen Quanqing had obviously rounded up the ninety thousand yuan he promised last night, which was exactly one hundred thousand yuan. Jiang Feng became more and more suspicious of Chen Quanqing. If it was only the factory discharging sewage into the river, Chen Quanqing would not be so nervous. With his local power, even if the discharge of sewage into the river was exposed by the provincial newspaper, at worst, he could just stop business and reorganize. After the storm passed, he could resume work again. With the protection of the local government, Chen Quanqing did not need to be so nervous at all. After all, there were policies and countermeasures, and the people under him never lacked the means to deceive the public.
Jiang Feng did not look at the amount of the check on the table in front of his two subordinates, but he was afraid that it would not be less than the number Chen Quanqing said last night. He did not touch the check on the table. Jiang Feng looked up at Chen Quanqing and said, "Boss Chen, it seems that you still don't know me. I did not accept this money last night, and I will not accept it today. Boss Chen, you don't have to worry about it.
I am a commoner and not cultured, but there is a saying, 'Making things convenient for others is also convenient for oneself'. Miss Jiang is a great intellectual, so you should know the meaning of this saying better than me. " Chen Quanqing's face was still full of smiles. I sincerely want to be friends with Miss Jiang, and Miss Jiang has also seen my sincerity. I hope that Miss Jiang can do me the favor and not go too far in some things. If you turn a blind eye to it, everyone will be better off. Even if this matter is reported, Miss Jiang will not get any benefits, so why do you have to be so serious?
Chen Quanqing's smile was different from before. It had a faint hint of threat. Last night, after looking for the Town Committee Secretary, Chen Tan, Chen Quanqing realized that he had misunderstood the situation. His factory's pollution was a small matter, but what he really needed to worry about was the series of incidents where he took revenge on the whistleblower. If that was dug out, he would have to go to jail. Only then did Chen Quanqing realize the seriousness of the matter.
