Chen Xing arrived at the hospital in the evening after receiving Li Qing's call. When he saw Zhang Ruoming's condition, Chen Xing's face darkened. What did the doctor say?
It's nothing serious, just a head injury. The doctor suggested that he stay in the hospital for observation. Otherwise, he could have left long ago. Zhang Ruoming shrugged with a smile, feigning casualness.
It's fine as long as he's fine. Chen Xing's expression softened. Seeing that Li Qing was silent on the side and the atmosphere was a little tense, Chen Xing half-joked. You were fine when I saw you at noon. Who would've thought that after just half a day, you'd have a dumpling wrapped around your head?
Luckily, it was only a dumpling wrapped around your head. It would've been terrible if your entire body was wrapped in dumplings. Zhang Ruoming laughed heartily.
Seeing that her husband was still in the mood to joke around with Chen Xing, Li Qing rolled her eyes in anger. Perhaps it was due to the laughter, but her mood improved a lot. She didn't seem as gloomy as before. She turned to Chen Xing and said, Mayor Chen, that Wang Huachuan really went too far this time. It's fine that he's been suppressing our Ruoming in the unit, but this time, he even made a move. I've never seen a leader like that before.
Don't worry, evil people will get what they deserve. Chen Xing nodded at Li Qing, comforting her. These words carried a lot of weight coming from the mouth of a mayor. After witnessing Wang Huachuan's actions at noon, Chen Xing also had a bad impression of him.
Ever since our Ruo Ming was sent to the hospital, aside from a few colleagues from his department, not a single leader from the bureau came to see him. Let alone the bureau chief and deputy bureau chief, not even a single middle-level official came. No matter what, Ruo Ming had worked diligently for several years. Even after something like this happened, not a single leader from the bureau came to offer his condolences. It was truly disappointing. Li Qing felt injustice for her husband.
Why didn't a single leader from the bureau come? Chen Xing furrowed his brows. He had only arrived in the evening. As for whether any leader from Zhang Ruoming's department came to visit, he didn't know.
No, not even a shadow was seen. Li Qing said angrily.
When Chen Xing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. After such a thing happened, the leader of the unit should at least come to express his condolences. Even if it was just for show, he should at least send a representative over. This was really surprising.
Everyone knew that the conflict between me and Wang Huachuan was irreconcilable. In order to curry favor with Wang Bo, it was normal that no one came. Zhang Ruoming, on the other hand, looked relieved.
Your colleagues from your department have all come to visit you. Why can't the higher-ups from the bureau come? Li Qing replied angrily.
The colleagues who came to see me were like me in the unit. They were all small characters. It didn't matter if they came. Wang Bo was also a bureau chief, so he wouldn't make things difficult for ordinary staff members. However, if the middle and upper level cadres came, they would inevitably worry that Wang Bo would secretly mark them down. This was the officialdom. It was very realistic and very cruel. Zhang Ruoming shook his head with a smile.
With such a director, it was no wonder that his son was so domineering. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Wang Huachuan probably didn't even think that he would be lucky enough to appear in the mayor's mouth. At this moment, he was with a few friends from the afternoon, drinking and showing off his achievements in the afternoon. The reason why Wang Huachuan would act out of line in the unit again was because of the instigation of a few of his best friends. After leaving the hotel at noon, they went to find a place to eat. It was inevitable that they would eat and drink to their heart's content. During that time, Wang Huachuan was brought up again. No matter what, he was the number one son of the statistics bureau, but he couldn't even control a staff member under him. This son of a bureau chief was such a failure.
Wang Huachuan was goaded by a few people, and he drank quite a bit. When he passed by Zhang Ruoming's office in the afternoon, he was so enraged that he charged into Zhang Ruoming's office and started beating people up. That was how the scene from earlier in the afternoon happened.
Zhang Ruoming was sent to the hospital, but Wang Huachuan wasn't worried at all. He even used it as a source of pride to show off in front of his friends, trying to redeem the face he lost in the afternoon.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Wang Huachuan went to the bath center to relax for a bit before returning home. Wang Bo also had a social engagement in the evening, so he came back a bit earlier than Wang Huachuan. Wang Bo had lectured his son in front of everyone in the afternoon, but that was only for show. It was obvious that he was a cold person by nature, judging from the fact that he didn't even go to the hospital for a symbolic visit. At home, Wang Bo's tone wasn't as strict as it was in the afternoon. He only looked at his son and said, "You're getting more and more out of line in the unit. Even if you have a huge conflict with Zhang Ruoming, do you have to resort to violence in the unit?
Dad, I told you in the morning that I'll be either him or him. You decide for yourself. Should we have a party meeting tomorrow to discuss his dismissal? " Wang Huachuan lay down on the sofa with his limbs spread out.
What nonsense. Do you think firing someone is a casual matter? Zhang Ruoming is an administrative establishment, not a temporary or contract worker hired by the bureau. How can he be fired just like that? Wang Bo looked at his son with disappointment.
So what if he's an administrative establishment? There's a way, there's a way. Dad, you're the director. You have the final say in the bureau. If you want to fire him, no one in the bureau would dare to object. Wang Huachuan curled his lips. I don't think you're really going to fire him. Anyway, I've said it. If he doesn't get lost, I won't be able to stay in the bureau anymore.
You … Are you trying to piss me off? Wang Bo glared at him. I worked so hard to get you into the unit, helped you solve the establishment, and promoted you to deputy director despite the rumors. Some people can't sit in your current position for a lifetime. There are countless people outside who fight for an administrative establishment, but you don't know how lucky you are.
That's because they don't have a director as their father. Now it's an era of relying on one's father. Those who have a father don't have to fight, but those who don't have a father have to fight. Look at those children of high-ranking officials. They don't even want to work for them. Who cares about such a small director? Wang Huachuan said disapprovingly. Dad, let me tell you the truth. I really don't want to work in the unit. If you didn't force me to go in, I would have gone to do business with my brothers. Maybe I would have made a fortune by now. You can even bask in my glory.
With your conduct, you still want to do business and make a fortune. You don't even know that you were sold and still helped the person earn money. You still want to make a fortune. Wang Bo said with a cold face. As a father, he was the clearest about his son's capabilities. His son was not cut out at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't want his son to have a position in the unit. At least, he wouldn't have to worry about living in the future. After all, he would grow old one day. He could take care of his son for a while, but not for a lifetime.
I haven't even done it yet. How do you know I can't do it? Dad, I say, is there a father like you who always attacks his son? Even if I am a piece of unpolished jade, I will be broken by you. Wang Huachuan looked unhappy.
You have the nerve to say that. Why didn't I find out before that besides eating, drinking, and having fun, you are also shameless. Wang Bo was so angry that he laughed. If you have the ability, go and do business. I don't have high requirements for you. You can make millions of yuan a year and show me. I won't stop you. Even if you work in the unit now, you can still invest and do business with your friends. If you want me to look at you in a different light, you have to speak with facts. Whether you are a donkey or a horse, I will know when you show it.
I wanted to, but you didn't give me any start-up capital. I told you to give me 500,000 yuan to invest with my friends, but you refused. What else can I do? Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. How am I going to do business empty-handed? How am I going to do business empty-handed? Speaking of this, Wang Huachuan was also full of resentment towards his father.
People who are really capable start from scratch. Look at those who are really successful in business. How many of them rely on their father's money to do business? They all rely on their own efforts. How dare you say that you can do a big business? Just because of this sentence, I don't have any hope for you. Wang Bo's attack on his son was merciless. In the end, you still don't have this ability. So, you should stay in the unit honestly and don't have unrealistic ideas all day long.
Dad, what era was it before and what era is it now? If I were born 30 or 40 years earlier, I would have been a celebrity on the rich list. It's just that I was born in the wrong era. If I were you and caught up with the era of reform and opening up, I would never work for the government. I would definitely resign and go into business without hesitation. I wouldn't be like now, where I am now, a director of a small government office, and I don't have much prospects. Wang Huachuan was lying straight on the sofa, full of pride.
This pair of father and son was really funny. As long as they sat together, they would fight each other as they talked. Wang Bo was resentful that his son did not live up to his expectations. His attacks on his son were usually merciless, hoping that his son could know shame and be brave. However, Wang Huachuan rarely understood his father's good intentions. In the unit, he could still pretend to call him "Director Wang". When he arrived at home, he talked to his father with a tit for tat, without any intention of respecting the old.
At this time, Wang Bo was obviously really angry with his son's words. He stood up in anger. "If I didn't work for the government, do you think you can live a better life than others? With your virtue, I don't know if you should go begging on the street now."
I'm just telling the truth. Didn't Uncle Yang enter the unit with you at that time? At that time, he dared to resign and go to sea. Look, now he has a net worth of hundreds of millions. These days, the bold will starve to death, and the timid will starve to death. The opportunity is right in front of you, and it depends on whether you have the guts to go and take it. "Don't worry, I've touched your sore spot. Wang Huachuan said calmly. He was used to being scolded by his father since he was a child. Over time, Wang Huachuan was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Seeing his father get angry, Wang Huachuan was not afraid at all.
"Yes, Yang Wenfu succeeded, but let me tell you, at that time, there was another person named Lin Tao who entered the unit with your father. When he saw that Yang Wenfu went to sea to do business, he was hot-headed and also resigned. As a result, he now makes a living by riding a tricycle. His hair is white, and his wife and children are almost unable to support them. You only see those who are successful, numb yourself, and ignore those who fail. Do you think it is so simple to make a lot of money in business? If it were so easy, the streets would be full of billionaires instead of people who work for a dead wage." Wang Bo looked at his son and really wanted to give him a lesson, but whether his son could listen was still a problem. They couldn't sit down and talk calmly at all.
"Really? Why haven't I heard you mention it? Uncle Yang often comes to our house. I haven't seen the Lin Tao you mentioned. You didn't make it up to hit me, did you?" Wang Huachuan said doubtfully.
"Are you kidding me? Do I have to deliberately make up a person to hit you? If you really want to see him, go out with me tomorrow, drive to Changshou Street and wait. I will tell you which one is Lin Tao." Wang Bo sneered. He didn't make a name for himself, and he was in dire straits. Wang Bo sneered. He didn't make a name for himself and was in such dire straits. Of course, he wouldn't dare to visit our family. Society was divided into different classes. Birds of a feather flock together. Since he had fallen to this point, he and our family were in two different worlds. So what if they had a previous relationship? His current circle was with those workers. As for Yang Wenfu, he had made a name for himself, and your father was still a bureau chief. Even if it was just a small yamen, I still knew some people. Yang Wenfu naturally kept in touch with our family and visited us from time to time. Wang Bo sneered.
If you really trust me, then take out some money for me to do business. Yang Jinfu asked his father for two million, and a few of my other brothers also asked their families for money. They are preparing to invest in a high-class restaurant together. They asked me if I wanted to join them. You should at least support me. You can't let me lose face in front of my brothers. Wang Huachuan repeated the old topic. Yang Jinfu was Yang Wenfu's son. Because of their father's friendship, their relationship was also very good. When a few brothers were drinking in the evening, they mentioned this topic. Wang Huachuan's heart became active again, but he had no funds. The family's money was in his father's hands. If he wanted money, he only needed his father's permission.
Only a few of you want to open a restaurant? Have any of you been in the food and beverage industry? Have any of you understood this market? Without doing any research, you plunged into it. Do you think that you can make money by doing business casually these days? Wang Bo snorted. He also knew his son's good playmates. They were good at eating, drinking, and having fun, but they had no serious skills.
Looking at his unwilling son, Wang Bo patiently said in his heart, "Hua Chuan, if you listen to me, just stay in the unit. As long as you work a little harder, I, your dad, will use all my connections to help you get promoted. Yes, Yang Wenfu has succeeded. He has money, but so what if he has a net worth of hundreds of millions? He still has to come to our house from time to time. What is the reason?" Isn't it because he wants to maintain a relationship with me? In the beginning, he, Lin Tao, and I entered the unit together. The three of us have a good relationship. Now, you see how rich he is. Has he ever supported Lin Tao? No. Usually, when I chat with him, when I mention Lin Tao, he even slightly ridicules me. His status is different, so his mentality is different.
I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that having money is good, but after all, it can't compare to having power. I won't talk to you about others, but Yang Wenfu's example is right in front of you. Why didn't I visit his house, but he came to our house? I've said so much. I believe you are not a fool. Think about it yourself.
After Wang Bo finished speaking, he looked at his son. It was normal for a father to want his son to be successful. He was his only child. Wang Bo had always placed high hopes on his son, but unfortunately, his son did not live up to his expectations.
Dad, give me some money to start my business first. I will listen to you and continue working in the unit. But just like what you said just now, I can do some business outside part-time. If you give me the money, I will perform better in the unit in the future. After a moment of silence, Wang Huachuan spat out such a sentence.
Everything I said just now was all in vain. You just didn't listen. Wang Bo said helplessly.
In the end, you are still not willing to take out the money. I don't know why you keep the money. You can't take it with you to the coffin. In the end, you still have to leave it to me. It doesn't matter if I give it now or later. Wang Huachuan muttered.
You … you, how can I have a son like you. Listening to his son's words, Wang Bo was furious.
I say, why are you two quarreling again? I can hear it even with the door closed. At this time, the door opened from the outside. Wang Bo's wife, Liu Pingping, came in from the outside. She was an official's wife, but she also had some of the wife's bad habits. She was addicted to mahjong. She went out early in the morning and often came back at night. If she didn't play mahjong for a day, Liu Pingping would feel uncomfortable all over. It was common for her to lose hundreds or thousands of yuan every day.
Look at how you raised your son. A loving mother leads to a spoiled son. If he wasn't spoiled by you when he was a child, Huachuan would not be like this now. Wang Bo, who was angry, directly vented his anger at his wife.
Liu Pingping, who had just entered the door, obviously did not expect her husband to be so angry today. She was a little dizzy after being scolded. In the past, it was common for the father and son to quarrel. Her husband often complained that he did not educate his child well in the past, but he rarely got angry at her. Liu Pingping was not a good-tempered person. I only have this son. If I don't spoil him, who should I spoil? I don't have the ability. If you have the ability, why don't you educate him well? Why are you angry at me?
I have to be busy with work. You have nothing to do at home all day. You have to take care of the child full-time. You should pay attention to the child's education. Look at yourself. Besides mahjong, it's mahjong. I think you don't need to eat grains anymore. You can just eat mahjong as a meal. Wang Bo said angrily. He was obviously talking about the early years when Wang Huachuan was still young. At that time, he was bent on currying favor and serving the leaders. It was no different from working like a cow or a horse. He left his wife to take care of the child. Now that these old things were mentioned, Wang Bo usually blamed his wife.
I want to eat mahjong as a meal, but unfortunately, I can't eat it. Liu Pingping snorted. If you really care about the child, why can't you squeeze out a little time? Besides, what's wrong with Huachuan now? What's wrong with him? I think he's better than others. It's you, as a father, who is too harsh.
Mom, I love you so much. Only you understand me. Wang Huachuan laughed and sat up from the sofa.
Don't worry about your dad. I don't know what kind of evil fire he's in tonight. Liu Pingping smiled and patted her son's hand.
Wang Bo looked at the mother and son and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This family is obviously a weirdo!
Mom, help me persuade my dad. Doesn't he look down on me for not being a business person? Ask him to give me some money to do business. When I come back, I'll make tens of millions to show him. Wang Huachuan is still thinking about his own business.
Why, are you restless again? Do you want to do business? Liu Pingping glanced at her son. At this time, she could more or less guess why the father and son were fighting again. She guessed that her son was asking her husband for money to do business again.
Looking at her husband who was sulking at the side, and then looking at her son, Liu Pingping hesitated for a moment and said. Wang Bo, since our son has always wanted to do business, then give him some money and let him try. If he fails, I believe he will give up. If he succeeds, it also shows that our son is a business person. It's not good for you to always control him. The child is already so big. As parents, we can't control him even if we want to. It's better to support our child's ideas.
Huachuan has become like this today because you, as his mother, have condoned him. Seeing that his wife's words were biased towards his son, Wang Bo immediately said angrily.
Dad, what's wrong with what Mom said? I'm already so old, but you're still controlling me. You said that you're thinking for me, arranging everything for me and letting me do as you want. Why don't you think about my feelings? My life has just begun, and you've already planned my whole life. What's the point of living here? Besides, if I make money from my business, you two can also enjoy it. When the time comes, our whole family will emigrate to enjoy it. "Dad, Mom, Dad, Mom, you're right. Wang Huachuan vowed solemnly.
Hmph, enjoy it with you. As long as you don't squander all of our family's assets, I'll ask Buddha to bless me. Wang Bo sneered. Perhaps he was touched by his son's words just now. Wang Bo seemed to have made a major decision. You're determined to do business, right? Well, I'll bet with you. I'll give you one million. I'm not asking for much. As long as you can bring me one million this time next year, I won't care about you in the future.
Really? Wang Huachuan seemed to wake up all at once. He bounced up from the sofa and stared straight at his father, for fear that he had heard wrong.
Of course it was true. Wang Bo raised his eyebrows.
Ha, Dad, you've finally thought it through. Don't worry, you'll be proud of your wise decision today in the future. But you underestimate me too much. Listening to your words, it seems that as long as I don't lose money, I'm great. Hmph, you underestimate me too much. Next year, I'll make this one million become two million. Wang Huachuan said in high spirits.
When you have two million next year, come and show off in front of me. Wang Bo's face darkened.
Seeing that his father was willing to take out the money, Wang Huachuan was in a good mood. He rolled his eyes and sat next to his father in a flattering manner. Dad, it seems that our family still has some assets. Can you tell me how much money our family has?
Your father is just a dead salary. How much money can I have? This one million is all the assets of our family, my lifetime savings. Wang Bo rolled his eyes.
Humph, I don't believe it. Dad, I know you well. If you only have one million, it would be strange if you could take it out. Wang Huachuan's face was full of doubt. Even if there was no one in the statistics bureau, his father was still a director. Wang Huachuan didn't believe that his father hadn't accumulated some wealth over the years. He had never known how much money his family had, so he rarely asked. At this moment, seeing his father's face darkened again, he quickly shut his mouth, for fear that one million would fly away.
Chen Xing came out of the hospital at seven o 'clock in the evening. Zhang Ruoming was fine. He stayed in the hospital for one night and could be discharged normally tomorrow. From the hospital to his dormitory in the Municipal Party Committee Compound, Chen Xing was thinking about Deputy Mayor Shao Huadong. These days, Chen Xing had seriously studied several deputies of the Municipal Government. It was true that Nanzhou City was still dominated by local cadres. Several deputies of the Municipal Government, except for one who was transferred from other places, were all local cadres. The two deputy mayors of the Standing Committee, Li Haocheng and Shao Huadong, had a strong local color. They were all born and raised in Nanzhou.
"Xiao Li, how much do you know about Deputy Mayor Shao?" Chen Xing suddenly asked the driver Li Yong who was driving in the front.
"Mayor, this … I really don't know much." Li Yong obviously didn't expect Chen Xing to ask him this question. For a moment, he couldn't answer. He was just a driver, so he didn't know much about the city's leaders.
"Then tell me what you know. Just say it casually. Just treat it as a chat." Chen Xing smiled.
Seeing that Chen Xing seemed to care about this matter, Li Yong thought about it seriously. He had been a driver in the Municipal Government for a couple of years. In a place like the Machinery Compound, where gossip was most likely to breed, Li Yong had heard a lot of gossip about the leaders. Of course, as for whether it was true or not, Li Yong had no way of knowing. But after thinking about it carefully, Li Yong suddenly realized that he had heard the least about Shao Huadong. The other leaders all had some gossip, but Shao Huadong didn't seem to have any.
"Mayor, it seems like Mayor Shao is usually very low-key. I haven't heard any rumors about him." Li Yong smiled bitterly.
"Really, that's rare." Chen Xing was surprised. Shao Huadong surprised him again. It wasn't easy to have no rumors in a place like the Machinery Compound, where rumors and quarrels could easily breed.
The car drove forward steadily. After a short silence, Li Yong thought of something. He didn't know if it would be useful to Chen Xing, but Li Yong still said, "Oh, I seem to have heard someone mention once that Deputy Mayor Shao's wife has some kind of illness. She hasn't been in good health. I heard that Deputy Mayor Shao and his wife have a deep relationship. After work, he basically stays at home with his wife and rarely goes out to socialize."
"Oh, is that true?" "It seems that Deputy Mayor Shao is a person who values relationships." Chen Xing smiled.
When they were approaching the dormitory of the Municipal Party Committee, the car suddenly slowed down. Li Yong turned around and said, "Mayor, someone is blocking the car in front." Following Li Yong's words, Chen Xing also looked in front. There was a woman looking at his car. Seeing that his car had stopped, the woman walked to the window and looked in.
Chen Xing could see the woman gesturing at him, as if she wanted to get out of the car. He opened the car door in confusion. When Chen Xing saw the woman in front of him, he felt that she was vaguely familiar.
Mayor Chen, it's really not easy to see you. When the woman saw Chen Xing, she seemed to let out a long sigh.
You are? Chen Xing looked at the woman. Her face was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her. In the past ten days in Nanzhou City, he had attended too many events. The people he had met were like flowers on horseback. He couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
I just spoke to Mayor Chen at the tea party of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. Mayor Chen, have you forgotten so quickly? My surname is Lu, Lu Xiaojing, general manager of Jindu Hotel. The woman shook her head and smiled bitterly. She didn't wait for Chen Xing at the gate of the Municipal Government tonight. Lu Xiaojing was not satisfied. She inquired where Chen Xing lived in the dormitory of the Municipal Party Committee. Lu Xiaojing came here again to wait for him. Finally, her hard work paid off. She really waited for him. That was why she had a relieved expression just now.
I saw you at the tea party of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Chen Xing smiled and nodded. He looked at the woman with a slightly inquiring look. Miss Lu, are you looking for me?
If not, I wouldn't have waited at the Municipal Government for an hour or two and then waited at the gate of the Municipal Party Committee. Lu Xiaojing shrugged her shoulders and looked around. "Mayor Chen, can we find a place to sit for a while?"
The two found a coffee shop near the Municipal Party Committee's compound. Chen Xing didn't forget to ask his doubts. Miss Lu, if you want to see me, you can make an appointment in the office. Why do you have to wait here?
As soon as Chen Xing said this, Lu Xiaojing immediately stared at Chen Xing. Her eyes were as strange as it could be. She wanted to find something from Chen Xing's face.
Why are you staring at me like this? Chen Xing was puzzled. Was there something wrong with what I asked just now?
If Mayor Chen didn't refuse to see me, I wouldn't have waited for you in this way. Lu Xiaojing glanced at Chen Xing and wanted to show some resentment. But when she realized Chen Xing's identity and she needed his help, she could only try her best to squeeze out a smile.
Miss Lu, why did you say that? Did I refuse to see you? Now Chen Xing was even more puzzled.
In the morning, I asked someone to go to the Municipal Government in person, hoping to meet with Mayor Chen. The result was that you refused. Mayor Chen wouldn't say that there was no such thing, right? Lu Xiaojing stared at Chen Xing and said.
In the morning? Chen Xing frowned. He had been staying in the office in the morning. If there was such a thing, the office should have reported it to him in time. However, he didn't get the report. He looked at Lu Xiaojing doubtfully. Miss Lu, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? I didn't get the relevant report in the morning. As for the refusal, it is even more impossible.
How could it be wrong? The Municipal Government replied in person that you didn't have time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done this. Lu Xiaojing looked at Chen Xing in confusion. Her eyes never left Chen Xing's face. Her subconscious reaction at the moment was that Chen Xing was pretending not to know. With this idea, Lu Xiaojing couldn't help but feel a shadow in her heart. She wanted to ask Chen Xing for help, but it was even more impossible.
Lu Xiaojing was worried, but Chen Xing was thoughtful and didn't rush to answer Lu Xiaojing's words. Chen Xing could judge that Lu Xiaojing's words at the moment were not false, and the other party didn't have to lie to him about this kind of thing. Then why didn't the office report to him and said that he refused? Thinking of some possibilities, Chen Xing's face was a little gloomy.
Maybe it was time to find a chance to clean up the office. Chen Xing's face was gloomy. This thing was most likely done by the people in the office. Who gave them so much courage? What did they do to him, the mayor? Did they think that he, the new mayor, was just a decoration?
What does Miss Lu want from me? Chen Xing directly changed the topic just now. No matter what the purpose of the people in the office was, it was meaningless to say this in front of Lu Xiaojing. It would only make people look down on him, the mayor. "Mayor Chen, I want to ask you to uphold justice.
Mayor Chen, I would like to ask you to uphold justice. Someone wanted to acquire our Jindu Hotel maliciously, but was rejected by our Lu family. Because of this, our Lu family offended the other party. Not only was my father beaten into a cripple by an unknown person, but our Jindu Hotel has also been subjected to unfair treatment in the past few months. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Tax Bureau, Fire Protection Bureau, and Public Security Bureau have been harassing our hotel for the past few months, which has affected the normal operation of our hotel. If this continues, our hotel will close down sooner or later. I only hope that you can uphold justice for us.
Relevant departments such as industrial and commercial, tax, and fire have the right to inspect production and business premises. Miss Lu confirmed that the relevant departments did not carry out a normal inspection, but manipulated revenge? Chen Xing looked at Lu Xiaojing and said.
I'm a hundred percent sure. If Mayor Chen doesn't believe me, you can find someone to investigate. This matter isn't a secret in Nanzhou City. Right now, the market is abuzz. It's said that our hotel has offended someone, which is why we've been repeatedly inspected. Lu Xiaojing clenched her teeth and almost swore, "If I lied to you, Mayor Chen, then I curse myself to be hit by a car when I go out."
"Miss Lu, you don't have to be like this. I didn't say I didn't believe you, but you know this kind of thing, I can't only believe your words." Chen Xing shook his head. He wouldn't believe Lu Xiaojing just based on her words, but he also wouldn't arbitrarily think that she was lying. Before understanding the matter clearly, Chen Xing was more willing to look at the problem from a neutral point of view.
It's best that Mayor Chen is willing to understand. When the time comes, you will know whether what I said is true or not. I only hope that after you understand the truth, Mayor Chen can help us uphold justice and give us law-abiding businessmen a little hope. Lu Xiaojing stared at Chen Xing. He was her last hope. She didn't know what kind of person Chen Xing was. At this moment, he promised her to understand the matter, but she could only choose to believe him. At least there was hope, it was better than no hope.
The two didn't sit for long in the cafe. After Lu Xiaojing finished talking about business, she didn't know what to say to Chen Xing. Chen Xing didn't plan to sit for long. The two only sat for less than half an hour, and then Chen Xing left.
Just as Lu Xiaojing watched Chen Xing leave and got into her car, Lu Xiaojing's phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number, and Lu Xiaojing picked it up.
"Miss Lu, how did the discussion with Mayor Chen go? Did you see that your Lu Hotel can be saved?" On the other end of the phone, a strange voice sounded.
"Who are you? Why do you have my number? " In order to wait for Chen Xing, Lu Xiaojing, who was so hungry that she almost collapsed in the seat, suddenly straightened up and listened to the voice on the other end of the phone with vigilance. "It doesn't matter who I am.
What matters is that I may be able to help you. It depends on whether you are willing to come and listen to my instructions. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't come. But I can tell you for sure that it's useless for you to talk to Mayor Chen. Even if he asks, your Lu Hotel will inevitably close down, unless your Lu Family sells the hotel at a low price. But that is probably the result you don't want to see. Otherwise, your father won't be disabled. Hey, Miss Lu, do you think I'm right? " The person on the other end of the phone smiled sinisterly.
"Who the hell are you?" Lu Xiaojing said angrily.
"It doesn't matter whether Miss Lu knows who I am or not. If you are interested in me, you can come to me. I will wait for you." The person on the other end of the phone quickly gave an address. "If Miss Lu is interested, you have to come quickly. I will wait for you until ten o 'clock. After ten o' clock, I will not be able to wait for you."
