At the table, Wu An poured a glass of wine for Chen Xing with a smile on his face. The light but million-dollar check was still placed in front of Chen Xing. Chen Xing didn't move, but Wu An was more and more confident. "If he didn't refuse it, he must be tempted." Wu An thought. A million-dollar check. Wu An didn't believe that Chen Xing could refuse such a temptation.
"County Magistrate Chen, let me propose a toast to you." Wu An smiled and raised his glass.
Chen Xing didn't move. He glanced at the Maotai on the table with a slightly sarcastic look. "Boss Wu, you are really rich. This 15-year-old bottle of Maotai is worth at least 7,000 yuan in the market. I can't afford such an expensive wine. Boss Wu, keep it for yourself."
After saying that, Chen Xing stood up. Before leaving, he said, "Boss Wu, keep this million-dollar check for yourself. I'm afraid that if I accept it today, I'll be invited by the Commission for Discipline Inspection someday. If Boss Wu really has too much money to spend, it's better to consider donating some money to the Hope Project and do some good deeds for the future generations."
After saying that, Chen Xing left the hotel without looking back, leaving Wu An sitting there in a daze. Looking at the million-dollar check on the table, Wu An couldn't come back to his senses for a while. Chen Xing just refused a million-dollar cash check like that? When Wu An realized the meaning of Chen Xing's last sentence, he was so angry that his face turned livid. Not only did Chen Xing not give him face, but he also didn't forget to mock him. Wu An's face turned livid. Chen Xing had gone too far.
Not long after Chen Xing left, Wu An received a call from Chu Rong. In the phone, Chu Rong said that Wu An had just called him and wanted to contract a part of the Hope Project to her as an apology for what happened last night. Chu Rong didn't dare to agree. He gave an ambiguous answer and said that he would think about it. He would contact Chen Xing later. Last night, Chen Xing said that he would teach Wu An a lesson. Naturally, Chu Rong dared not to make peace with Wu An easily. It was inevitable that he would ask for Chen Xing's opinion again.
"Refuse." Chen Xing said faintly. Just now, he had severely humiliated Wu An. Wu An immediately contacted Chu Rong and wanted to bribe Chu Rong with the Hope Project. If Chu Rong agreed, it meant that he had indirectly given in to what had happened last night. If Chen Xing still didn't want to let it go, he would be acting without a good reason. Since the party concerned didn't want to pursue it, why did he, an outsider, cause so much trouble?
Chen Xing, from last night until this morning, I've been thinking that Wu An is rich and powerful, and he has strong connections in the officialdom. I'm afraid that it won't be good for us to fight against him. Anyway, Xiao Li and I didn't suffer any losses. Moreover, if he is forced to do something crazy, I'm afraid that he will do something crazy. You have a bright future. If you are affected by this matter, it won't be worth it. Xiao Li and I don't want to see that result. " Chu Rong told me his thoughts. I was thinking, why don't we agree with him and give each other a way out?
Really? Chen Xing furrowed his brows. Although Chu Rong's words showed that he was concerned about his future, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. It seemed that Chu Rong was reluctant to give up the Hope Project.
Chen Xing, don't misunderstand me. I'm not tempted by the Hope Project. I've already done that with you. To be honest, with you taking care of me in the future, I won't be afraid of not getting the project. Now, a Hope Project is nothing to me. I'm just afraid that you will be affected. After all, Wu An isn't easy to deal with. Chu Rong had been in the business world for a long time. How could she not notice the stiffness and doubt in Chen Xing's voice? She hurried to explain.
Chu Rong didn't know that Chen Xing had just received a phone call at noon. Her way of investigating Wu An from the Local Taxation Bureau had been blocked. However, in the morning, she and a few of her business friends had inquired about Wu An. The answer they got was that Wu An was very resourceful. He was able to call the leaders of the city his brother. He wasn't a simple man. The more Chu Rong knew about Wu An, the more worried she became. Chen Xing was still young and had a bright future ahead of him. He didn't need to take risks for this kind of thing.
Hehe, Sister Chu, don't worry. A mere Wu An won't affect my future. As long as you're not interested in the city-level project, it'll be fine. If that's the case, then I'll be the one blocking your path to wealth. Chen Xing smiled and said in a much gentler tone. Chen Xing was a little touched that Chu Rong was so considerate of him.
"Chen Xing, if you say that again, I'll be angry. No matter how big the way to make money is, it can't be more important than you." Chu Rong pretended to be angry. When she said this, Chu Rong's face on the other end of the phone was a little red. Perhaps this could be regarded as the words of love between them.
After chatting for a while, Chen Xing hung up the phone and went back to the office. Chen Xing pondered for a while. If he wanted to deal with Wu An, he had to find his weakness first. Otherwise, there would be nothing to talk about. The way of the Local Taxation Bureau was blocked. He couldn't think of any other way at the moment. At this moment, Chen Xing suddenly felt that his power was a little small. If he was not the county magistrate but the mayor, he could deal with Wu An with just one sentence. He wouldn't have to spend so much effort. Now, he could only think of other ways.
Chen Xing was worried about Wu An. In the office of Wang Dongchen, the Secretary of the County Party Committee, Wang Dongchen looked at his eldest son, Wang Ming, who was sitting opposite him. Wang Ming had been in Shanghai for a long time and only came back during the Spring Festival. This time, he came back in a hurry because of Jinyu Entertainment City. Baldy Li had died in a car accident, but Wang Ming was reluctant to give up the industry of Jinyu Entertainment City, so he came back secretly to take over it. At that time, a lot of money had been spent on the renovation of Jinyu Entertainment City. The interior decoration of Jinyu Entertainment City would not be worse than that of some high-end hotels. The whole building, including the land, was worth at least tens of millions of yuan. Naturally, Wang Ming was unwilling to give it up.
Entertainment City is a hot potato. You still want to take over it now? Are you hoping that something bad will happen to me? Wang Dongchen looked at his eldest son with disappointment. He had three children and only one son. His two daughters had been married for many years. He had poured all his efforts into his son, who was the only child of the Wang family to carry on the family line. His son was disappointing. After getting married and having children, he still did not have a proper job and was idle all day long. If it were not for him providing food and drink, he would have starved to death in a place like Shanghai. At that time, Baldy Li said that Wang Ming had a promising future in Shanghai and bought two houses in a lump sum, but it was nothing more than a mockery of Wang Dongchen.
Dad, the industry of Entertainment City is worth a lot of money. It would be a pity to give it up like this. At that time, we secretly signed an equity agreement with Baldy Li. We are still the controlling shareholder. If we give up the Entertainment City like this, it would be a pity. At least the Entertainment City can be sold for 20 to 30 million yuan. Wang Ming looked at his father, holding the agreement signed with Baldy Li in his hand.
Even if you have money, it depends on whether you have a life to spend it. Do you also want to stay in the police station for a few years? What's more, Baldy Li is now dead. Do you think the agreement we signed with him is still meaningful? On the surface, Baldy Li is the controlling shareholder of Entertainment City. Do you think this agreement is legally binding? Wang Dongchen shook his head. He did not intend to keep the industry of Entertainment City. Otherwise, he would not have killed Baldy Li.
Dad, I have to say that you are too timid. You could have just written me as the owner of the Entertainment City's shares. Why did you have to write it as Baldy Li? Then, you signed an agreement with Baldy Li in private. Now, Baldy Li is dead, and the agreement we signed with him has no proof. Wang Ming was very unwilling. In the end, he was still reluctant to give up the industry of Entertainment City. Otherwise, he would not have rushed back from Shanghai.
What do you know? It is better to be safe than sorry. If you are the owner of Entertainment City's equity, if someone investigates, can I still sit in this position with peace of mind? Wang Dongchen said snappily. You don't lack food or clothes. Do you have to nail your eyes on Entertainment City? Just go back to Shanghai and stay.
Dad, who doesn't want to live with money these days? I still want to sell the Entertainment City, and I can earn at least 20 million yuan. I like a popular store in Shanghai, and I want to buy it. I can't buy it without a few million yuan, and I'm short of money. Wang Ming curled his lips. He wanted to directly use the agreement he signed with Baldy Li to take Entertainment City as his own and then sell it.
When Wang Dongchen heard his son's plan, he almost jumped out of his chair. Don't even think about this matter. Once Li baldy died, Qi Xiong had already confessed to the provincial police and pushed all the blame onto Li baldy. Li baldy was suspected of drug trafficking and all kinds of illegal businesses were investigated one by one. The county has already studied how to take over the entertainment city and then publicly auction it. The proceeds will be used to invest in the construction of the city's infrastructure. You should give up on this idea as soon as possible.
Dad, it can't be. Then we really can't get any benefits? Wang Ming glared anxiously. Dad, you are the secretary of the County Party Committee. You can decide all the matters in Ximen County with just a word. If the Entertainment City is to be taken back by the county, you can stop it. If you speak up, who would dare to do anything? Anyway, I don't care. Entertainment City belongs to our Wang Family. This time I came back with a big boss in Shanghai. I told him about Entertainment City and just took him to have a look. He likes it very much and wants to buy it. The price can be negotiated. If you do this, I won't be able to face others. The key is that the money will be gone. At least 20 million. Dad, not 2 million. You have to think clearly.
