Chapter 440: Unprepared
After dinner, Mr. Shan was leaving. Li Chao wanted to keep him for one night. Zixi quietly said to him: "The old man is worried about the flowers and plants in the house, and you can't keep him."
Li Chao did not force him to keep it anymore. He took out the two jars of blue and white wine in the cellar of his home and gave it to the old manor for the old manor. He invited him and said, "My grandpa, I prepared too much today and didn't make you happy. Next time you will have a time to make an appointment with everyone at my sister's restaurant. I will cook a few special dishes so that you can have a good time. OK?"
Old Shan replied happily when he heard this, "It's easy to say, so let's just say it, then we'll make up for it." After that, he laughed generously.
Because Chu Yan had to be on duty at night, she also said goodbye to Shangguan and his wife and everyone, and walked with her husband to accompany the old couple. Shangguan Zhongxuan and Yu Niang helped Mr. Fu and sent them out of the gate with everyone, watching them leave and then returned to the house.
Wanru wanted to take Lele away too, but Lele was reluctant to leave. She raised her hands to stare at her mother with her belly and said, "I won't leave. Grandma Yu is more lively here. I don't want to cut back. It's cold and roaring at home. I want to live with my uncle tonight. Mom, please leave quickly. You can pick me up and my mother-in-law in a few days."
Yu Niang couldn't bear to leave her fat grandson and said to Wanru: "Don't leave either. No one is allowed to leave, and it's not that we can't stay. We have fun together for two days, what's wrong with it?"
Everyone knew that Yu Niang loved to be lively, but she was fine anyway, so she did not disobey her.
Wanru thought that she had not been with her adoptive father and mother for a while, so she agreed to stay.
...
The day after the summer solstice, Li Chao was discussing the Zixia Waterfall project with Ruosi in the office. At this time, Li Chao's cell phone rang, which was called by Zheng Jun. Li Chao answered the phone and smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that I'm working with President Liu to study the Zixia Waterfall, and your phone call came in. Haha, Grand Governor, if you have any instructions, please give me instructions." Li Chao was very excited and said with a haha.
But Zheng Jun on the phone did not respond to him and said in a low voice: "Li Chao, are you in the company? I want to come over and talk to you, let's meet and talk."
Li Chao clearly felt that Zheng Jun was not in high spirits, and he felt a little frightened. He had a bad premonition, but he still pretended to be nothing and said: "Okay, Grand Governor, Mr. Liu and I are here, we are waiting for you in the company."
After putting down the phone, Li Chao glanced at Ruo Si, frowned and said, "Why did I hear Zheng Jun's bad tone? It seems that something is wrong."
Ruosi asked him what was wrong, and Li Chao shook his head and said, "I don't know, I hope I'm over-concerned. Let's wait until Zheng Jun arrives before talking."
After a while, Zheng Jun arrived at the company and brought a very bad news - the development project of Zixia Waterfall Scenic Area. The Naba Prefecture Government and the China Merchants Bureau had officially signed a development contract with other developers yesterday. The agreement signed with Linyun Group was brought back by the State Government. After Zheng Jun said this, the meaning was very clear, which means that the Naba Prefecture Government officially announced that the agreement to jointly develop the Zixia Waterfall Scenic Area project with Linyun Group has been invalidated!
This news is like a bolt from the blue for Li Chao and Liu Ruosi.
Ruosi couldn't calm down when she heard this. She reported this matter to the chairman and Hong Lin some time ago. After researching it, they agreed to the investment project and asked her to actively follow up and report the progress of the project at any time. Ruosi knew that Mr. Hong had already prepared the special funds for the project. At this time, the Bazhou government suddenly came out like this, which was obviously teasing people.
Ruosi stood up and asked, "Prince Zheng, what's going on? Both of us signed the agreement. Although you haven't stamped it yet, this has legal effect. Breach of contract will also be responsible for legal responsibility."
Li Chao was still stable. He sat on the sofa and asked calmly: "Prince Zheng, what are you singing about? Don't tease me, I can't help but tease me."
Zheng Jun was full of guilt. He avoided Li Chao's bright eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and told Li Chao and Ruo Si that the whole thing that happened was completely changed.
It turned out that on the second day after Zheng Jun and his team signed the development agreement with Linyun Group, a company came to the door and said that they would invest huge amounts of money to develop Zixia Waterfall Scenic Area with the state government. Rimai Mouxi and Zheng Jun immediately refused them, but out of politeness, they still asked several leaders from the Tourism Bureau and the China Merchants Scenic Area to accompany them for a meal. However, after half of the meal, Director Fan of the China Merchants Scenic Area Director hurriedly found the secretary and Zheng Jun, took out a note signed by a senior official of Xichuan Province, and asked the local government to receive the company well and discuss the development of the Zixia Waterfall Scenic Area tourism project.
The secretary and Zheng Jun felt that the other party was not very good. After they had dinner, they arranged for them to meet with them in the afternoon. Rimai Mouxi was very polite to their group, but he told them very regretfully that the state had signed a cooperation agreement with Linyun Group in Jindu, and it was impossible to cooperate with other companies and companies. He also made suggestions to them. If they really want to participate in the development project of Zixia Waterfall Scenic Area, they can go to Linyun Group for negotiation. If Linyun Group agrees, the state government will definitely warmly welcome it.
But the other party knew the details of this matter and the progress of the project. They said that the development agreement had not been officially signed yet, so if the project was to be done, their group had to be fully developed and constructed. Moreover, the conditions offered were more generous than Linyun Group, and they looked like they were determined to win.
Soon, Rimaimuxi received a call from the secretary of the provincial senior official, saying that this was a development project that Secretary Zhou was personally inquiring about, and he was required to follow the instructions of Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee!
Rimai Mouxi was stunned for a moment. He called Zheng Jun to discuss the emergencies in the room next door. Zheng Jun of course insisted that the development project of Zixia Waterfall Scenic Area must be developed by Linyun Group. He even reminded Rimai Mouxi that the introduction of this project is the younger brother of a senior executive of Xichuan Province, and the strength of their entire family cannot be underestimated, so the secretary must withstand the pressure no matter what.
Rimai Mouxi said with a sad face: "There are great gods on both sides. Who can I afford to offend a small state official?"
Two days later, the other party invited the secretary and the governor to conduct an on-site inspection in Jindu. Zheng Jun took the excuse to refuse. Rimai Mouxi had to bite the bullet and lead the team to conduct an inspection in Jindu, and immediately signed a contract with the other party.
Zheng Jun was furious when he learned about it and found Rimai Mouxi to start a riot. Rimai Mouxi said dejectedly: "My Grand Governor, I really have no choice! Do you think I am willing to cooperate with this company? I didn't know them before and did not get along with me. Moreover, Linyun Group is so strong, Mr. Shangguan is generous and easy-going, and Li Chao is also generous and easy-going. I was forced to do so. The other party asked the secretary of the provincial high-ranking official and his son to suppress me, and asked me to sign the development agreement on the spot. I had no choice but to sign and stamp it. I had to sign the letter against my will and stamp it. But I felt so uncomfortable, like eating rotten porridge overnight, disgusting and nauseating."...
But now that things have come to this point, the situation has been completed. Zheng Jun was so angry that he had no choice but to consider how to explain this to Linyun Group.
Rimai Mouxi asked Zheng Jun to help him, so that he would first communicate with Li Chao, explain the matter clearly, and understand that he was indeed forced, against his will. He also said that he would never let Linyun Group suffer a loss like this. He said that he would hand over the copper mine to Linyun Group for exclusive mining, with very generous conditions.
At first, Zheng Jun was unwilling to come to Jindu to see Li Chao untied the knot. Later, he could not withstand the swaying of Rimai Mouxi, so he asked Zheng Jun to help him and overcome this hurdle.
After all, Zheng Jun made a match for this matter, so he couldn't just let go, so he reluctantly came to Linyun Group to sing this white face and mix with this.
Telling the whole story, Zheng Jun took out a six-copy of the mining development agreement from his briefcase and asked Li Chao and Liu Ruosi to take a look. He explained: "The terms in the agreement are quite preferential, just pretend that we apologize to Linyun Group. The China Merchants and the government have stamped new seals. You can take a look first, and you can also go to the mining area for inspection. I will put the agreement on your company. When do you want to do it? The agreement will officially take effect."
At this time, Li Chao was mixed in his heart. He looked at the agreement aside and put it aside. He looked at Zheng Jun and said with a smile: "Prince Zheng, let's put the mine development matter first. This is completely different from the Zixia Waterfall Scenic Area project. Don't confuse it. The reason why our group wants to develop Zixia Waterfall Scenic Area is first introduced by Zeyu, and the other is that you, Governor Zheng, are all trying to make this happen, so I asked my old man to come forward to investigate. He is so old, the mountains are far away, and the road is far away, and he will work hard. Finally, he finally agreed to invest in and develop, and the agreement was signed, and you came to us to urge the sign. Your Governor and Secretary Rimai Mouxi signed. We didn't force you, the old man agreed to you and did the matter. Suddenly, Governor Zheng, came here to us.
So, after doing this, I said that this project is gone, you have signed a contract with others. Haha, it’s really a joke to marry one woman and two. Although I don’t agree with Mr. Liu’s statement that breach of contract must be held legally responsible, our group has a strict management system for all agreements and contracts, and will follow the normal procedures. As for what measures will be taken in the end, I don’t know, and I can’t reply you now, but to be honest, we really want to cooperate with you sincerely, supporting the economic construction of poor mountainous areas, driving local villagers out of poverty and becoming rich, and expanding the diversification of our group’s business and all-round development, and killing multiple things. So I would rather believe that what you said just now is joking, telling jokes and making everyone happy. Now we are under great pressure to do things, and no one can live easily."
Zheng Jun pondered for a while after hearing this, and said with a serious expression: "General Manager Shangguan, to be honest, I have been pushing for this matter from beginning to end, from beginning to end, and I firmly oppose cooperation with other companies in our state. Zeyu and my family may have heard Zeyu mention that your company is highly recommended, and it is beneficial to the economic construction and development of our Bazhou. As the governor of Bazhou, I also want to make it strongly. But Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and raised the banner of the provincial high-ranking officials. We are in the officialdom, and we have many indescribable difficulties and difficulties, but even so, I made up my mind to withstand the pressure and protect the group. At that time, I even wanted to ask Zeyu's elder brother, Hou, to mediate, but I didn't know that the other party took action so quickly. I asked the secretary of the provincial high-ranking official and his son to come to suppress Rimaimuxi, forcing him to sign and stamp the development contract, which caught me off guard..."
Hearing this, Li Chao's heart was trembling, and his mind flashed. He suddenly guessed who his opponent was. Otherwise, no one or company in the Jindu area would publicly come to oppose Linyun Group. Moreover, this practice completely violated business rules. He went to compete with Linyun Group for this immature tourism development project regardless of costs. Only they would do this.
In order to prove that his guess is not false, Li Chao interrupted Zheng Jun and asked: "Governor Zheng, if it is convenient, can you tell me who is the developer who forced you to sign the contract?"
Zheng Jun pondered for a while before saying, "It was originally a commercial secret in the state, but now the situation is special and there is a temporary opportunity. It is okay to tell you that the other party is Wen's Group. The company is large in scale and strong in strength. You should know them all, and the group headquarters are all in Jindu."
Li Chao and Ruo Si looked at each other and understood everything in their hearts. Then we can't blame Zheng Jun for this, or even Rimai Muxi. This matter is definitely because Wen Jiarui's plague was deliberately trying to use tricks and do something bad. But what shocked Li Chao was that this bastard had such great ability to move out of the provincial high-ranking officials at will and let the secretary's son hold him up. How much energy does this require, and how much profit distribution is involved... Thinking of this, Li Chao felt a chill on his back, and calmed down. He spoke much more politely to Zheng Jun. He asked him some details of the matter, and then said to Zheng Jun: "Old Zheng, everyone is friends. We have a bad attitude towards you just now, so you should forgive me! But this matter is very important, and I have to ask Xiaofei and Zeyu to discuss it together. When they come, you should tell the truth and tell them the whole story of the matter. OK?"
Zheng Jun said this was taken for granted, and then he said to Li Chao and Liu Ruosi seriously: "Since Li Chao has a large number of people and still regard me as a friend, I can't be a hypocrite, just treat it as a real villain. The original agreement between us cannot be returned to your group. Their investment promotion agency has been destroyed. I really want you to forgive this matter. In addition, after Mr. Shangguan's donation, after the funds for this project are in place, we will find a way to return the money to your company through other channels."
Liu Ruosi was furious when she heard this, and stood up and pointed at Zheng Jun and said, "You..."
Li Chao hurriedly grabbed her and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Liu, forget it, no wonder Lao Zheng, they also have to protect themselves!"
Li Chao thought to himself that he destroyed the original agreement, and it was useless to say more. Now that there is no original agreement, it is useless to say anything without it. If you are forced to force him to do it, he can say that this has never happened before, so what do you take to sue him? As for donations, it was originally a donation, and we have no reason to force him to retreat. Zheng Jun is a handsome man when he is doing things. He has his own opinions and dares to take responsibility and is calm in the face of danger. No wonder the Hou family wants to cultivate him vigorously. Unlike Mai Mouxi that day, when he is about to come, he is a turtle and pushes Zheng Jun to the front to block the thunder for him. Alas, this person is more...
Xiaofei and Zeyu rushed over quickly after receiving Li Chao's call. After listening to Zheng Jun's story, Xiaofei's reaction was very calm. Although he was optimistic about this project, he was just doing it with a playful mentality. If he could do it, he would forget it. What he couldn't do was just like playing mahjong, he was already trying to get a card, but he was robbed by someone. He was definitely unhappy, that's all.
But Zeyu was furious. For him, this matter was not just a matter of being robbed, but was slapped in front of everyone. It was a great humiliation. At least he thought so. So he jumped and scolded Wen Jiarui for not knowing that it was the only one who was exposed in the untied trouser's trouser. Zhou Sanmao, the son of Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee, was a shameless thing with sores on his head and pussy on his feet. He showed his dandy habits. After he cursed, he felt unrestrained and exhaled his anger on Zheng Jun. He said, "Old Zheng, what did you do? The deal you negotiated was pried out, and the cooked ducks flew away. How did you act like a governor?" Zeyu's expression and tone were like scolding one of his subordinates.
Zheng Jun was a little embarrassed and his face became ugly.
Li Chao couldn't stand it. He thought: "Although Zheng Jun received the care and cultivation of your Hou family, they had to rely on their own strength to get ahead. Taking a step back, no matter what others do, they are the governor of the autonomous prefecture officially appointed by the Organization Department. They are not a retainer of your Hou family. And it can be seen that Zheng Jun is also a bloody man. Li Chao was afraid that Zheng Jun would not be able to resist the attack. Things have already happened and have not yet fought back against the opponent. His own people started to have internal conflicts first. Isn't that a joke?
So Li Chao hurriedly stood in front of Zheng Jun and blamed Ze Yu, "Xiaoyu, don't say this. When things have come to this point, Lao Zheng may feel more uncomfortable than us. You think, he personally matched up and handled this matter himself. He agreed to you and agreed to us. Now that things have become like this, he has been slapped in the face. He must feel wronged and cowardly. Although Lao Zheng is the governor, Bazhou is not his own. Besides, when things come out, he is willing to stand up to protect us, and he dares to inform us of this matter in person as soon as possible. Unlike others, he is a turtle who is shrunk at this time. He is loyal to his friends; he is responsible to the public and responsible; what do you want to ask him to do? "
Xiaofei also knew the relationship between Zheng Jun and the Hou family, and was afraid that they would collapse because of this matter and it was not worth it, so he advised: "Xiao Yu, I also think that Lao Zheng can't blame him for this matter. You can't just be angry and wronged the good people. This matter is a bit a bit aggrieved. Since Zhou Sanmao from the Zhou family has come forward, we must discuss it carefully and think of a solution."
The youngest son of Secretary Zhou's family was named Zhou Boxian. He was almost forty years old. Because of his thin and small hair, he was called Zhou Sanmao in the playboy circle.
After hearing Xiao Fei's words, Zeyu curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You are afraid of that Mao, I am not afraid. Not to mention him, Zhou Sanmao, I don't even care about him."
Xiaofei knew that Zeyu was not talking big. With the power and influence of their family, Sanmao really couldn't get into his eyes this week. Not to mention anything else, his brother is the youngest executive officer in the country, a rising political star, and his future is limitless.
Zeyu's mood was much calmer at this time. In fact, for him, if you can do it, you can do it, it's just a platform. A few brothers are fun together. His mentality is the same as Xiaofei. What he can't accept is that Zhou Sanmao came out halfway, snatched the flesh from his mouth, and let him lose face in front of his friends. This is the most important thing! Face is more important than anything for a playboy like him, just like those nobles in the past in the UK who always had to duel for honor and fight with their lives. But at this point, he knew that there was no room for recovery. Moreover, Li Chao and Xiaofei did not blame him, and they persuaded him like this, which was considered to save some face, but he was still panicked and scolded with resentment: "This damn Wen family dog leg, wait, sooner or later I will avenge this arrow!"
Li Chao smiled and said, "There are nine out of ten things like business, so don't take it too seriously. This time we lost Jingzhou by carelessly. We have to admit defeat. But didn't Lao Zheng give us the copper mine mining contract? Let's take a few of us to make a conclusion." Then he turned his head and said to Zheng Jun, "Governor Zheng, the matter happened suddenly, and I also want to go back to report to the old chairman, and then reply to you after discussion."
Zheng Jun said: "This is of course, but you must be quick. I'm afraid that the other party will come and rob it again after knowing it, so it will be difficult to deal with it."
After saying that, Zheng Jun wanted to say goodbye. Li Chao was reluctant to let him go, saying, "Buying is not a favor. Lao Zheng, if you still treat us as friends, why not leave after eating a meal?"
Seeing that Li Chao was sincerely trying to keep him, Zheng Jun agreed.
Li Chao called Wanru and asked her to prepare the best private room, and then asked Ruosi to ask Mr. Gu and several vice presidents below to have a meal with Zheng Jun.
During the meal, Zheng Jun toasted one by one, which was apologizing. When Ze Yu was toasting, he was chatting with Ruo Si. Li Chao hurriedly kicked Ze Yu when he saw it, and then quietly winked in the direction of Zheng Jun.
Ze Yu understood, so he picked up the wine glass openly. In fact, he felt that he had said something in his heart a little too late today. He heard Zheng Jun say, "Mr. Hou, things are not done well, I'm sorry, I'm all drunk." After saying that, he dries it.
Zheng Jun is so generous, Zeyu doesn't want to say anything: "Old Zheng, you know me. You speak without any intentions. If you have any bad things, your brother has a lot of them, don't take it to your heart."
After drinking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and there was no grudge in their hearts.
After dinner, Zheng Jun was sent away, and the guys and a few of them were having tea and chatting at Wanru. Xiaofei said: "Actually, the Zixia Waterfall project cannot be completed. I think the most uncomfortable thing is not someone else, but Zheng Jun."
Li Chao asked how he could see it?
Xiaofei smiled wickedly: "Third brother, don't tell me you didn't see it. Zheng Jun's eyes looked strange when he looked at our sister Fei?"
Ze Yu laughed and said, "Damn it, I can't tell anyone, it's too obvious. Old Zheng is still alone now. Why don't you tell Sister Fei that Zheng Jun is not bad and has a promising future. Let Sister Fei be a spare tire and be prepared for any trouble." After that, he laughed again with Xiaofei.
Li Chao cursed: "Prepare a ghost! Don't come up with these bad ideas. Feifei and Zixi are very good now. Yu Niang and the old man are also very satisfied with Zixi. They also have a spare tire and have a hair!"
Zeyu laughed and said, "Our Sister Fei has become a hot commodity now, and the rare commodity is very affordable."
Li Chao cursed again: "Can you still set up the gantry formation well? Don't beat Feifei."
Xiaofei then said seriously: "Actually, with my understanding of Zhou Sanmao and his peeing nature, he must have been pulled into bed by the Wen family's big socialite and became her guest of the curtain. This bald man was willing to put in such a hard work, and it might not be related to his old man."
Zeyu was also born in Zhongming Ding Food House, and naturally knows about the things in the circle of powerful people. He said: "Wen Jiabei's bitch is a socialite to put it nicely, but he is actually a popular lover. Bus. Anyone who is powerful and has some use to her will stick to you. Hey, Brother Chao, Bo Kuan is almost enough, and he has business dealings with her. If you are empty, ask him, how does that taste like that?"
Li Chao cursed with a smile: "Your level is enough, Mr. Hou, I want to know the taste, just try it yourself."
Xiaofei sarcastically said, "He dares. Xueer knows if she doesn't castrate him, she will be completely destroyed." Li Chao couldn't help laughing with him after hearing this.
Zeyu smiled for a while before saying, "Even if we Xueer is not strict, I will not go to such public places. I don't know if it's dirty! You know, I am a person who is mentally clean, can't show off, sweet words, and false feelings."
Xiaofei cursed: "Xiaoyu, don't show off here either. Wen Jiabei is a great beauty. I have seen it, it is full of charm, and it is the type you like the most. If you really open it in front of you, I don't believe you won't stand it!"
Zeyu laughed and said, "Then let's make a bet and let Wen Jiabei take off all his clothes in front of us. Let's see which of us stands first. If we stand up first, we lose. The super-old is a notary... "
Li Chao thought about his own thoughts and had no time to talk to them about Fengyue. He thought, "Why did you tell the old man and Yu Niang about this? The most deadly thing is how to explain and explain to Qingrou? It's really a ghost, and you've encountered such a thing!"
Kasaki thought that his heart was getting more and more confused. He stood up in dismay and interrupted them and said, "Xiaoyu, why don't we go to the boxing club to play a game."
Xiao Fei immediately objected, "Damn it, you two are just playing against each other, so let me be left aside? I said I'd better stop playing golf."
Seeing Li Chao feel a little angry and a fierce light appears in his eyes, Zeyu feels timid first. He thought to himself, "Damn, who can beat you? In a while, you have to spread all the evil fire on me, hit me with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and beat me half to death. I won't be so miserable! I'm so lucky to take on such a thing!"
So Zeyu pulled Xiaofei away and said as he walked, "Forget it, I feel uncomfortable these days, so I'd better play golf with Brother Fei."
Li Chao shouted at Zeyu's back: "Hey, Xiaoyu, damn it's not a woman, why do you feel uncomfortable on your body? Oh, who will play a boxing match with me?"
Zeyu didn't dare to take on his words. He said in his heart: "Whoever loves to accompany him, I don't dare to play with you anyway!"
