Chapter 259; Can you bear it?
During the Spring Festival, Taiwan is not inferior to mainland China. Every family is decorated with lights and fireworks lit up the entire starry sky at night. The 2014 Spring Festival is also the most lively Spring Festival Lin Dong has ever lived in his life.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Dong had just woken up and set out on the way to Taipei. During the New Year, no one can stay at home honestly. Visiting each other is inevitable. No one will come to visit him in Taitung. In Taiwan, who is honest, although he is powerful, he is still a junior and an outsider after all. He is the only one who visits others during the first Spring Festival.
‘Oh, what a coincidence.’ Lin Dong walked to the door of a villa and met an old acquaintance.
Chen Weige held the gift and looked at Lin Dong awkwardly. His home was in Taipei. He left Taitung on New Year's Eve. After a New Year's Eve at home, he chose to go out to visit his leader early in the morning when there were too few people. Unexpectedly, he could meet acquaintances, and it was the one he least wanted to see.
Lin Dong was secretly amused in his heart. Mayor Taitung could not help but ease the relationship, but he would not think that Chen Weige would stab the knife in the back. He believed Chen Weige's character, let alone even if he wanted to get off the pirate ship, he would still want him to get off. Isn't the thief who got off the pirate ship, he would be a thief?
‘That, Lin Dong.’
Lin Dong waved his hand quickly and said, "Okay, okay, meeting is fate, let's go together. I can't stay in Taipei for a few days, so hurry up and worship all the great gods. I have other things to do."
After Lin Dong finished speaking, Chen Weige, who was planning to retreat and prepare to come again another day, rang the doorbell directly.
Before Lin Dongduo waited, the door opened immediately. A middle-aged woman looked at the two uninvited guests at the door with a cold expression. As the first lady in Taiwan, she has seen many people paying New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, but she has never seen anyone who came to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning and before nine o'clock, she instantly designated Lin Dong and the others as ignorant.
Seeing that the other party opened the door so fast, Chen Weige couldn't even leave this time, so he could only grit his teeth and said politely, "Madam, Happy New Year."
The middle-aged woman saw that Chen Weige looked familiar and seemed to be a high-ranking official, but she couldn't remember what the other party called, but she had come to the door, so she couldn't rush the other party away, so she had to let the door open and invite Lin Dong and the others in.
After Lin Dong walked into the yard, he looked at the flowers and plants around him and there were many tools to water flowers, and he couldn't help but say in surprise, "Oh, sister-in-law, do you get up early in the morning to water the flowers? It's so elegant."
Ma Yijiu's wife frowned and thought to herself that the person in front of her was too rude. Others called her wife. She had never seen such a frivolous man in front of her. Her impression of Lin Dong instantly became negative.
At this moment, Ma Yijiu walked out of the villa in pajamas. He had not seen anyone come to pay New Year's greetings so early for so long. Although he had the habit of getting up early, he was a little surprised when he saw Lin Dong and Chen Weige standing in the garden.
When Chen Weige saw Ma Yijiu appear, he hurried forward and stretched out his hand and said respectfully, "Happy New Year, Chairman."
Although Ma Yijiu didn't like this person, his magnanimity as a leader still had to be reflected. He held the other party's hand and smiled, "Happy New Year, Mayor Weige."
When Ma Yijiu's woman heard that the young and polite person turned out to be a mayor, her attitude was a little better, but she still looked at Lin Dong with disgust.
Lin Dong didn't pay attention to the look of this woman, and even if he noticed it, he wouldn't take it seriously.
After letting go of Chen Weige's hand, Ma Yijiu looked up behind Chen Weige and joked, "Oh, what gust of wind is blowing you, a busy man?"
Lin Dong walked up to Ma Yijiu, shook hands, and joked, "It won't be a cold wind anyway. I'm going to be the first to come to see you during the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect that there were still people earlier than me."
Hearing this, Ma Yijiu couldn't help but look at Chen Weige. Seeing that the other party was a little embarrassed, Lin Dong would definitely not tell lies on it. His face improved a lot. Recently, Chen Weige ran very hard in Taipei. He saw Lian Heng and Song Chuyu again, which made him very unhappy. He also gave Chen Weige a lot of trouble. If Chen Weige came alone today, he might feel a little relieved, but seeing the other party and Lin Dong came together, he felt a little unhappy. This felt like he was carrying Lin Dong out to support him. However, after Lin Dong said this, he believed that this was a coincidence.
Ma Yijiu's wife looked at the young man who was chatting and laughing easily with her husband in surprise, and couldn't help but curious. She didn't expect that this young man, who was very bad in her impression, would have such a great face and make her husband so polite. The two of them were like old friends meeting.
Ma Yijiu also saw the strange color in his wife's eyes and introduced with a smile, "Madam, let me introduce you to you. This is the mayor of Taitung, Chen Weige, he is young and promising. As for this, he is the pride of our Taiwan and Chinese, and Lin Dong, chairman of Hurricane Engineering Group."
Madam Ma Yijiu was shocked and then relieved that Hurricane Industrial Group's reputation is so famous in Taiwan that even her typical housewife can hear it every day, whether on the street or on TV, even her husband would talk about this company from time to time at home, and sometimes she would be so angry that she would throw her cup and scold Lin Dong's name. It can be said that she is really familiar with the name Lin Dong.
‘Lao Ma, take the guests’ room and I’ll make some breakfast for you.’
After entering the class, Ma Yijiu invited the two of them to sit on the sofa. Chen Weige sat down seriously, but Lin Dong started to visit the villa and did not treat himself as an outsider at all. Ma Yijiu was helpless about this.
In the end, Ma Yijiu had to ignore Lin Dong and gently told Chen Weige; "Mayor Weige, have all the work during the Chinese New Year been arranged?"
Chen Weige quickly replied, "Everything is arranged, I will rush back to Taitung this afternoon, so please rest assured by the Chairman."
He always called Ma Yijiu the chairman rather than the president, but it actually meant to be close. Everyone is a comrade in the party, which is quite friendly to say.
‘The work in Taitung must be coordinated well in the new year and we must go to a higher level in the past year. Your abilities are still good. I don’t worry if you are here in Taitung.” Ma Yijiu nodded.
This is a normal sentence, but Lin Dong heard it so hypocritical. This sentence obviously needs to be the opposite. If he has him in Taitung, he will not be relieved.
Seeing that Chen Weige was about to speak, Ma Yijiu couldn't help but look at Lin Dong who was still visiting. He really believed that the two of them must have not been discussed together. He felt a little more comfortable and took the initiative to speak, "In the new year, you Taitung have any difficulties now, and now I'll be busy after today."
Seeing that Ma Yijiu spoke on his own initiative, Chen Weige would certainly not miss this opportunity, and hurriedly said, "Chairman, Taitung City Finance is about to lose the blame. I have reported to the Executive Yuan several times but there is no further information. Chairman, can you say hello to the Executive Yuan?"
This is still the thing that bothered Chen Weige. He looked for Lian Heng as Lin Dong said, but the Executive Yuan never let go of this. Although Lian Heng and others put pressure on him, the Executive Yuan finally agreed under pressure, but who knows when they will pay the money? If he delays for another month, he can't even pay his salary. In desperation, he can only visit Ma Yijiu during the Chinese New Year.
‘Oh, there is this matter? Didn’t the Executive Yuan sow all the budgets in various places at the beginning of the year? Weige, don’t worry about this, I will urge the Executive Yuan.’ Ma Yijiu pretended to be unaware of it, but he had the potential to be the Golden Horse Awards.
However, everyone knew a lot of things. Of course, Chen Weige also knew that it was Ma Yijiu who wanted to teach him a lesson. However, when Ma Yijiu spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least the problem that had troubled him for several months was solved. Then he reported some work to Ma Yijiu and said goodbye to leave.
As soon as Chen Weige left, Ma Yijiu stood up and said helplessly, "Let's go, Boss Lin."
Lin Dong shrugged and followed Ma Yijiu into the study. This time, Lin Dong did not visit randomly. Before, he just gave Ma Yijiu and Chen Weige some space to talk.
Ma Yijiu had two cups of tea and handed Lin Dong a cup, saying, "Lin Dong, what are your Hurricane Industry plans for the new year?"
‘Let’s follow the steps, I will deliver the military submarine as soon as possible, don’t worry about this.’
Ma Yijiu waved his hand and said, "I'm not asking you this. The Taiwan Strait incident on the 13th is also a reminder. I hope you can be low-key. You don't understand the principle of shooting a bird with a gun. The United States will not see someone provoking their maritime overlord status. The Battle of Babuyan caused a sensation in the world. If you hit the Philippines, you will be hitting the United States in the face. They will definitely find it back. In front of the US military, we are still too small."
Ma Yijiu is now very biased towards the hurricane industry. He cannot control the hurricane industry and can only integrate it. No matter what, the hurricane industry is still in Taiwan. Although Lin Dong's private armed forces also threaten the Taiwanese authorities, from the perspective of pros and cons, it is better than being forced by the United States.
When talking about the Taiwan Strait incident, Lin Dong felt very frustrated, but he could not justify anything. He was indeed taught a lesson by the Americans, and he could not speak harshly to the little gangster, which was too naive.
'The United States has to stand up for its maritime overlordship. Although I don't want to be the first to be a leader, I can't wait for decades. If I want to make money, I have to sell weapons and equipment. Selling weapons and equipment will inevitably touch the nerves of the United States. This is inevitable. However, this time the United States did teach me a vivid lesson. I also want to keep a low profile, but I have to show my posture. You should also know the recent movements of the US fleet. This is a naked provocation of "chiluo". Even if I can tolerate it, can you tolerate it?" Lin Dong stared at Ma Yijiu with his eyes tightly.
Ma Yijiu was staring very uncomfortable. This is so bad that he really wanted to curse, "I have been tolerating Taiwan for decades, why can't I endure it anymore?"
