Film and Television: I, Xu Lei, won over Chen Shuting

Page 111

I felt a little disappointed.

"Just don't come back begging me, and that will be fine."

"How could I? It's impossible for me. You're overthinking it."

Xu Lei waved his hand, signaling Gao Qilan to take her away.

Gao Qilan will teach her the remaining details.

The group continued playing mahjong, and Chen Shuting said, "Should I also make a move on my side?"

"There's no need. Just wait. Zhao Dehan has been removed from his post. The department that needs a replacement, and who it will be, will be determined. Once the new person takes over, you can proceed with the rest."

"Okay, then I'll continue to improve the engineering team's work."

"kindness."

That very evening, Gao Xiaoqin silently reviewed the documents her subordinates had given her.

"Construction has started again, right?"

"Yes, or should we just ignore it?"

"Never mind, I'll make a call and ask about the situation."

The call was made.

"Xu Lei".

"Tell me what's going on."

"Is the plan ready to proceed? The workers have started working again over here."

Xu Lei thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. Tomorrow morning, just complain to Li Dakang. Remember to act well and appear weak. I'll have someone take pictures of you and make a big scene."

"Ok."

Xu Lei stretched and said, "Song Qian."

Song Qian put down her cards, turned around, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The garment factory in Jingzhou, take this job, but remember, make high-quality counterfeit clothes, understand?"

"High-quality replicas of my own clothes?"

"That's right, high-quality counterfeits are coming soon. Let's take over this sector in advance. This money is going to be earned by anyone else anyway, so why not make it ourselves? Remember to bring the money to bid."

"clear."

Xu Lei rubbed his hands together, his brows furrowed. All the plans were about to be put into action.

...................................

The next day, Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng went to find Li Dakang and began to complain.

Now that these two are Sha Ruijin's goddaughters, Li Dakang dares not slack off.

"We worked so hard to get the factory down, and everything was agreed upon, but the other side has been secretly starting construction and taking on all sorts of dangerous jobs. Leaders, Dafeng Factory, we really can't continue like this. This is bullying us."

"Sigh, these old factories have a lot of workers, they're not easy to deal with."

“We’ve already paid for this, are we going to waste our money? That’s not how it works.”

After saying that, Gao Xiaoqin started crying.

Li Dakang said with a hint of helplessness, "How about this, I'll take you to the scene and let you take a look."

Several people appeared at the scene, looking at the anti-corruption flags being held up and then at the ruins, feeling somewhat helpless.

Isn't this just creating a difficult problem for myself?

Gao Xiaoqin said, "Working secretly is impossible. I can't possibly manage the demolition work here. I gave them 50 million, you all know that."

Li Dakang said, "This piece of land is worth a billion yuan."

Gao Xiaoqin said, "I know, but I really handed over 50 million. However, many people said there was no apology. This money originally included the cost of settling these employees. Now that your employees are causing trouble for me, it's very difficult for me to handle this."

If the money is gone, then things get serious.

Gao Xiaoqin did pay the money, but where that money went needs to be investigated.

You might not have cared before, but Gao Xiaoqin is now the leader's goddaughter. Aren't you guys courting death?

Gao Xiaofeng, clinging to her sister's arm, whispered, "We've already contacted Song Qian. The garment factory still needs to produce the goods, so we can't lose these employees."

"I know, it's okay, the plan is still in place. Listen to Xu Lei, there will definitely be no problems."

Gao Xiaofeng nodded.

Li Dakang began to appease both sides. The workers hadn't received any resettlement money, while Gao Xiaoqin had indeed paid the money. Therefore, there must be something wrong with this situation.

"They promised me 50 million, and they gave me the land. To be honest, Secretary Dakang, you know me well. Shanshui Group is shrinking significantly right now, and I was forced to take this job. I even borrowed the money from Boss Xu. Although we have a good relationship, I haven't done anything right. How am I supposed to explain this to Boss Xu later?"

Li Dakang was having a terrible headache, so he called Zheng Xipo.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xipo rushed to the scene immediately to reassure the workers.

The logic is simple: the money is gone, and that money is gone.

It would have been absolutely impossible to buy this land for 50 million, but it was indeed given to the Shanshui Group.

Zhao Dehan has been arrested, so the problem still lies with him.

Where this money went needs to be investigated.

Zheng Xipo inquired about the situation and learned that the person in charge of these workers was actually Cai Chenggong. In other words, a large portion of the resettlement fees ended up in Cai Chenggong's pocket.

After the union president settled the workers, Gao Xiaoqin was invited to dinner by Li Dakang.

It's very simple. Li Dakang needs to appease Gao Xiaoqin. After all, as the Party Secretary, he cares a lot about developing such a good project.

"Anyway, I paid the money, it was real money. If I don't do the project, you have to refund it to me, right?"

Li Dakang said, "Ding Yizhen has now fled to the United States, and the trail has gone cold."

"If you cut off the money, you won't give me any more. That doesn't make sense."

Gao Xiaoqin is pressing for payment, and the workers are also pressing for payment. Both sides want money, so this is a very difficult situation to handle.

Soon, Cai Chenggong was brought before Li Dakang.

Cai Chenggong knelt on the ground, crying unrestrainedly, and said, "It's not that I don't want to give resettlement fees, I've already given them to others."

The resettlement compensation was given to someone else?

Zheng Xipo was so angry he almost fainted. He said, "You gave the workers' share money to someone else?"

Cai Chenggong said, "I have no choice but to give it to him. He is Ding Yizhen. How dare I not give it to him? What can I do? If it were you, what could you do?"

Then this matter becomes very serious.

Li Dakang said, "Ding Yizhen is in America now, where are we going to find him?"

Cai Chenggong said, "The bank card is with him, not with me. He also said he would handle the resettlement of the workers and other things. I have no way to deal with it."

Li Dakang said helplessly, "Okay, I'll urge them to come up with a plan and see if we can catch them. You all just stay put for now. Cai Chenggong, talk to the workers. Gao Xiaoqin, don't worry, we'll definitely get this money back for you."

"My Shanshui Group does have some money, but we can't let the money go to waste. Thank you for your hard work."

After everyone left, Li Dakang said, "Zheng Xipo, talk to those workers a bit more and reassure them. Tell them to wait a little longer, and once Ding Yizhen is arrested, we will definitely give them an explanation."

"Okay, I'll think of a way."

Subsequently, news began to circulate wildly online.

Some people say that someone embezzled the resettlement funds at the Dafeng factory.

Meanwhile, some people are saying that everything will be fine once the person is caught, and that we should trust the government.

It was basically a discussion between the two sides, but it was precisely because of this discussion that the news' popularity started to soar.

There are both good and bad people.

Good people will spend money on Zhang Baobao so that she won't escalate the matter.

The bad guys will give money to Meng Yu so that things can continue to escalate.

Meanwhile, in the teahouse, Zhao Ruilong was drinking tea and happily watching the women dance.

After his subordinates relayed the news, Zhao Ruilong said, "Sigh, our Secretary Dakang is going to be busy. Gao Xiaoqin, Gao Xiaoqin, you are someone I taught. You don't really think that I'm out of control now that I've stepped down, do you?"

He Ruilong's idea was to sabotage Gao Xiaoqin's project, and then set up his own company to take over the contract.

The price might be a bit higher then, but you'll definitely make a profit.

　As for Li's money, it's impossible to give it to Gao Xiaoqin. Even if we calculated it, Gao Xiaoqin wouldn't get it so easily.

Every step can be blocked; that's just how officialdom is.

When you pay someone, getting things done is quite convenient.

But once the money is returned to the other side, if you want to get the money back from the government, the process can get you stuck.

By then, I estimate my new business will have already taken off.

Even if the Shanshui Group is gone, Zhao Ruilong can create a second Shanshui Group.

The phone rang.

"Zhao Ruilong, don't make things too big."

"Qi Tongwei, don't question me. I didn't get involved in this matter at all."

"Ding Yizhen taking money, wasn't it at your behest?"

Zhao Ruilong said, "I didn't give any orders. The money was right in front of him. I just accidentally told Ding Yizhen."

Qi Tongwei paused for a moment, then said, "Sure, as long as we don't find you."

"Qi Tongwei, don't think you're the smartest person in the world. I'm just too lazy to do it."

It would be unrealistic to stop the whole thing just like that.

The very next day, problems arose at the factory. Cai Chenggong was beaten, the police arrived, and the workers huddled together, refusing to disperse.

Money is a must; nothing else matters.

This money must be kept by me.

At that moment, Xu Lei was drinking tea in front of an old man and said, "Sir, you need to move around a bit."

Chen Yanshi said, "Sigh, what's going on here?"

Chen Yang stared stubbornly at Xu Lei, feeling that he was the one who orchestrated the whole thing, but she couldn't find any evidence.

"Sir, I have a gift for you. Take this person with you. Remember, no matter what happens, don't rush forward. Take your son with you, understand?"

"Um, why?"

"You'll find out when the time comes, Chen Yang, keep an eye on him."

Chen Yanshi sat in the car, while Xu Lei stood beside him, silently making plans.

Chen Yang, standing to the side, said, "Xu Lei, tell me, what exactly are you planning?"

Xu Lei said, "What could I possibly be planning? Isn't this just giving the old gentleman a gift?"

Send a Gift?

Chen Yang said, "A gift? Why do I feel like it's a threat? I think I see a threatening situation."

Threat?

Xu Lei said, "Yes, it's a threat. I won't hide it from you anymore. Over there, someone has kidnapped Cai Chenggong's daughter."

? ? ? ? ?

Chen Yanshi said, "This is nonsense, utter nonsense, who..."

"Wang Wenbei, who else could it be? He's the one who led the charge."

Chen Yanshi was quite helpless.
