Fine, I will believe you for the time being. If I find out that you have lied to me in the future, you should know the consequences. Chen Xing glanced at Zhang Feng and believed his words. He waved his hand at Chen Zhongwei, indicating that he could let Zhang Feng go.
After receiving Chen Xing's permission, Chen Zhongwei ordered the two men behind him to untie Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng regained his freedom. His hands had been tied behind his back for almost a night. Now that he suddenly let go of them, it was as if he didn't feel anything. Both of his hands were completely numb. Zhang Feng didn't even have the strength to lift his hands. Looking at the two men beside him who were sitting like devils, Zhang Feng wanted to cry but had no tears. Looking at Chen Xing who was sitting in the passenger seat, Zhang Feng smiled bitterly. Director Chen, you promised me last night. Do you still keep your promise?
What promise? Chen Xing was stunned. He didn't know what Zhang Feng was talking about. It was not until he saw Zhang Feng glance at Chen Zhongwei that Chen Xing realized that Zhang Feng was referring to the tens of millions of usury.
Glancing at Chen Zhongwei, Chen Xing said calmly, "Zhongwei, how much does Zhang Feng owe you?
Director Chen, it's already 15 million yuan including the principal and interest. " Chen Zhongwei replied to Chen Xing with a smile.
When Chen Xing heard the amount, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Chen Zhongwei's swindling usury was even faster than robbing money from the bank. The interest was compounded. Chen Xing didn't know how much money he could make in a day. He coughed softly and heard Chen Xing say, "Zhongwei, can you do me a favor and cancel the money Zhang Feng owes you?"
"Of course, I can't do that to you, Director Chen." Chen Zhongwei nodded and bowed with a smile. Chen Xing's words made him proud. Chen Zhongwei naturally cooperated with him. Even if Chen Xing asked him to spit out the millions of yuan he had earned, Chen Zhongwei would do it no matter how painful it was.
"Fine, I'll let it go. Zhongwei, don't trouble Zhang Feng anymore. The money he owes you will be written off." Chen Xing nodded. After that, he turned to look at Zhang Feng and said, "I've done what I promised you. You can leave now."
Zhang Feng opened his mouth and wanted to say what should he do with the millions of yuan he had lost. However, when he saw Chen Zhongwei's fierce eyes, Zhang Feng shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything. In addition, Chen Xing had asked him to leave. Zhang Feng could only complain in his heart. He knew that it was Chen Xing and Chen Zhongwei who set him up to jump into the trap. However, at this moment, he had to pretend to be grateful to Chen Xing for canceling the loan of more than 10 million yuan.
Zhang Feng got off the car and left. Zhang Feng didn't even want to call the police after what happened tonight. He knew that it was already illegal for him and his sister to let Chen Xing jump into the trap. If he really called the police, he and his sister might not be able to escape the punishment of the law. On the contrary, Chen Xing might be safe. Zhang Feng had seen Chen Xing walking with the director of the Public Security Bureau, so he didn't have the guts to call the police. In this day and age, officials and officials protected each other. Zhang Feng didn't think that he could defeat Chen Xing. Now, even the CD taken by Chen Xing that night was taken away by Zhang Feng.
In the car, Chen Xing glanced at the two subordinates of Chen Zhongwei and finally fixed his eyes on Chen Zhongwei. His face was serious, which was rare. "Zhongwei, I don't want anyone else to know what happened tonight.
Director Chen, don't worry. I promise you with my head that my subordinates know what to do. I will remind them again later to keep their mouths shut. Humph, if anyone dares to talk about it outside, don't blame me for being impolite. " The first half of Chen Zhongwei's sentence was to express his loyalty to Chen Xing, while the second half was to his two subordinates who were sitting behind him and involved in the whole thing. His face was full of ruthlessness. Although he was very respectful in front of Chen Xing, in their circle, everyone knew that Chen Zhongwei was ruthless. If he didn't have some tricks up his sleeves, he wouldn't dare to do anything to his subordinates. Since Chen Zhongwei worked in this industry, if he was soft-hearted, he wouldn't be able to control his subordinates.
"Don't swallow all the benefits. Don't forget your subordinates." Chen Xing patted Chen Zhongwei's shoulder and looked at him meaningfully. Then he opened the car door and got off.
Seeing Chen Xing get off the car, Chen Zhongwei hurried to follow him. "Director Chen, it's late. Let me drive you back.
No, I'll take a taxi. Remember what I said. " Chen Xing said.
"Director Chen, don't worry. If I'm a person who eats all the benefits alone, my subordinates won't follow me wholeheartedly." Chen Zhongwei laughed dryly. He understood what Chen Xing meant. He had earned a few million from Zhang Feng, and it was only right for him to share some of the benefits with his subordinates. If he wanted to shut the mouths of others, it was not enough to just rely on ruthlessness. If there were benefits, everyone would benefit. Only by sharing the benefits would he be able to truly win over the hearts of the people.
Chen Xing soon stopped a taxi. Seeing that Chen Xing was determined to take a taxi back, Chen Zhongwei had to give up. He turned around and got in the car. This matter came to an end. Chen Zhongwei also knew in his heart that after this matter, his relationship with Chen Xing had improved. From Chen Xing's words and deeds, it could be seen that Chen Xing now regarded him as one of his own. This was what Chen Zhongwei was happy to see. If he wanted to survive in the capital without any backing, he would be eaten up by others sooner or later. His biggest backer was a deputy director of the sub-bureau. But last time he offended Chen Xing, a deputy director was not enough at all. His life was in the hands of Sun Zhangsheng. If Chen Xing did not let him go, Sun Zhangsheng could deal with him in a word. Now that he had the backing of Chen Xing, Chen Zhongwei was more confident.
"Did you hear what I said just now? No one is allowed to say a word about what happened tonight." After Chen Zhongwei got in the car, he looked at his two subordinates and said sternly.
"Brother Chen, don't worry. We all know what to say and what not to say." The two men in the back seat answered Chen Zhongwei's words with a smile.
"Well, the money we earned from Zhang Feng this time, each of us will get 100,000 yuan." Chen Zhongwei nodded with satisfaction and said generously. He had more than 20 subordinates. It was generous of him to take out this amount of money. He earned about six million yuan from Zhang Feng. As for the rest of the money, Chen Zhongwei did not intend to keep it all to himself. Although Chen Xing was not interested in money, Chen Zhongwei did not dare to completely ignore Chen Xing. He was still thinking about how to please Chen Xing.
When Chen Xing arrived home, it was already 12 o 'clock. Tonight was quite a torment. However, for Chen Xing, everything he did tonight was worth it. Although the means he used were not honorable, at least he solved one of his worries. Extraordinary things must be done in extraordinary ways. Chen Xing was never a rigid person who would do harm to himself. Chen Xing did not mind using some black-bellied means. As long as he did not bully the common people, Chen Xing would not feel guilty about it.
He used all his strength to break the CD into many pieces. When it was completely unusable, Chen Xing took out a lighter and found an iron plate to lay on the ground to burn the CD completely. After doing all this, Chen Xing was relieved. Time passed quietly. Day after day, the project initiated by Chen Xing was already in preparation.
As Li Huaiyuan said to Chen Xing in a half-joking manner, the Ministry had always strongly supported the project, whether it was a private or official project, but only in terms of policy. It was almost impossible for a private project to get any funding from the Ministry. Even if it was an official project, the Ministry would only get very little funding from the Ministry. The main source of funding was to call on the public to donate money, which was the main source of funding. Li Huaiyuan said to Chen Xing half-jokingly that the Ministry had the will to kill the thief, but it was powerless to do so. Whether it was a private project or an official project, the Ministry had always strongly supported it, but only in terms of policy. It was almost impossible for a private project to get any funding from the Ministry. Even if it was an official project, the Ministry would only get very little funding.
Therefore, when Chen Xing wanted to start a national project, Li Huaiyuan also supported it. Because of his special care for Chen Xing, Li Huaiyuan specially approved 50 million yuan as a start-up fund, which was the biggest support Li Huaiyuan could give to Chen Xing. If Li Huaiyuan was not the first deputy minister of the Ministry and assisted Minister Jiang Jinshi to take charge of the daily affairs of the Ministry, he might not even be able to approve 50 million yuan. Minister Jiang Jinshi would retire next year. Li Huaiyuan was the most powerful competitor for the position of minister, so the other deputy ministers would not say anything about Li Huaiyuan's way of doing things.
With the start-up fund of 50 million yuan, for Chen Xing, part of the urgent need was solved. However, it was just a drop in the bucket. Compared with the millions of poor students, 50 million yuan was not enough at all. In the most conservative estimation, if there were 10 million poor students who needed help, would 50 million yuan be enough? Five yuan per person? Not to mention that Chen Xing's project also included the content of helping poor areas to improve the teaching conditions.
A few years ago, Taiming Group donated 1 billion yuan to set up the "Thousands of Schools for Thousands of People" project, but it could only help the extremely poor areas to improve the teaching conditions. One could imagine how little the start-up fund of 50 million yuan was for Chen Xing.
Director Chen, didn't you say that you wanted to invite a star to be the image ambassador of our "Sunshine and Love" project? Everyone in the office was very active, and they were fighting to help give ideas. Everyone thought that Zhang Yang was good. She was famous, and she had a positive and healthy image. She had no negative news, which suited the theme of our project. How about inviting her to be the image ambassador? In Chen Xing's office, Lin Yupei smiled and reported to Chen Xing. Chen Xing said that he wanted to invite a public figure to be the image ambassador, and he also asked her to think about who would be suitable. When Lin Yupei returned to the office and said this, the staff in the office were also very active, and they all talked about their idol candidates. In the end, Zhang Yang got the most votes.
Zhang Yang? Chen Xing was stunned, and then he shook his head. Zhang Yang couldn't do it. She didn't fit the image of our project.
Why didn't she fit? Lin Yupei was stunned. Chen Xing's refusal was too straightforward.
Well, personally, I don't think it's suitable. I think it's better to find someone else. Chen Xing smiled calmly. He knew that his behavior just now was somewhat abnormal in the eyes of others.
Who should he find? Recently, the popular star was Zhang Yang. Besides her, he really didn't know who else to invite. Lin Yupei frowned. Although she was not a fan of Zhang Yang, she still thought that Zhang Yang was quite suitable to be the image ambassador. The fame of a star could actually drive her fans to donate, which was an invisible publicity.
There were so many celebrities, and there were many more outstanding than Zhang Yang. She wasn't the only one who was famous, right? Chen Xing smiled and said, "As for the candidate, your office will think about it carefully. When it is decided, we will invite her in the name of the Ministry.
Isn't it decided now? She was shot down by you immediately. " Lin Yupei rolled her eyes and muttered.
You can nominate another one. Next time, it will definitely be approved. Chen Xing smiled and said.
A week passed unknowingly. There was no doubt that Chen Xing was very good at creating momentum and using the media. When the student aid project officially named "Sunshine Love – Future Hope" was still in preparation, Chen Xing had already begun to use the media to create momentum. This was not the first official student aid project led by the Ministry, but it was more eye-catching than any previous one. There was no other reason. The fund management of the student aid project would be supervised by the public. They would strictly supervise the use and whereabouts of each sum of money. They must make sure that every cent of the money was really used for the needy students and put an end to any corruption.
This was the first time that an official student aid project had invited people from the public to participate in the management, and they were not just in name, but had the real right to speak. The use and whereabouts of the funds were not decided by the Ministry, but by the independent management team within the student aid project. Except for a representative sent by the Ministry, the rest of the management team were all people of virtue and prestige in the society, which meant that the Ministry had no right to decide on the use of the funds. Such a thing happened in such an official student aid project led by the Ministry of Education, which was a bold reform and innovation. Chen Xing's bold and unusual move won the praise of many critics.
When Chen Xing asked the newspaper to report this matter, he planned to act first and report later. He did not ask for the consent of the leaders of the Ministry in advance.
"Chen Xing, you really came up with a student aid project." In the office, Chen Xing received a call from Xue Dabao. Xue Dabao laughed and said, "It seems that I have to spend a lot of money. Since you initiated it, if I don't spit out tens of millions of yuan, I will be sorry to you, my old classmate."
