“No way! I want to report him! I want everyone to know what a nasty person Zhang Fu is!” Xiang Chen said agitatedly.
“What reason do you have to report him? In the end, he’s still following the rules and regulations. There’s nothing wrong with what he’s doing at all. Even if you report him, you won’t be able to do anything to him,” Qiao Mei said.
The team had encountered a difficult situation. Zhang Fu was definitely a
corrupt official, but the people who bribed him were definitely all on his side. After all, they still needed Zhang Fu to be their protector. These people would never show the evidence to Qiao Mei and the rest.
“l have an idea!” Wu Duo said.
“Quick, tell us what you have in mind?” Qiao Mei asked.
“I need our two new colleagues to help with this matter though. The rest of us have been in Shen City for too long and everyone can recognize us, so it’s not convenient for us to do anything. It’s better if the two of you can take on the task,” Wu Duo said to Li Xin and Liu Guang.
“No problem! We can do anything as long as it’s not illegal!” Li Xin said.
The few of them gathered together to discuss the plan. Xiang Chen went off to pester Zhang Fu again. In Shen City, it was a known fact that Xiang Chen was
Xia Jun’s grandson. If a person with such a background was to plead with
Zhang Fu for help, one could imagine how flattered Zhang Fu would feel!
Xiang Chen needed to fan the situation so that Zhang Fu would feel a sense of superiority. Zhang Fu would only slip up if he became too full of himself.
Early the next morning, Li Xin and Liu Guang changed into their suits and looked very professional. The two of them went through a lot of trouble to get to Zhang Fu r s office door. Zhang Fu was in a meeting and they could only go in after the meeting ended.
The two of them waited outside the door for an entire day but Zhang Fu did not ask to see them. It was only when the workday was almost over that he called for the two of them.
“I’m so sorry. I have too many meetings today. I’m really too busy,” Zhang Fu said with a grin.
“It’s fine, it’s fine! We know that Director Zhang is a very busy person! It’s not a problem for idle people like us to wait for Director Zhang,” Li Xin said.
“I wonder why you’re here?” Zhang Fu asked.
“We hear that Director Zhang is in charge of the land in the industrial area. The two of us are in the garment business and want to buy a piece of land there, but Boss Qiao has also taken a fancy to the same piece of land. We’re here to ask if we have any chance of getting it. We hope that Director Zhang can help us,” Li Xin whispered.
Zhang Fu fiddled with his clothes awkwardly and said tactfully, “Well… it’s not impossible for me to help. Let me think about it. I’m not very hungry today.
Let’s talk about it another day.”
When Liu Guang heard what Zhang Fu said, he did not understand what it meant. Li Xin, on the other hand, immediately put down his business card and said with a smile, “Thank you, Director Zhang! This is my business card. We’ll make an appointment for tomorrow! ”
After saying that, Li Xin pulled Liu Guang out from Zhang Fu r s office. Along the way, he hummed a tune with a look of victory on his face.
“Why did you say that just now?” Liu Guang asked in confusion.
“What Zhang Fu said just now was telling us to treat him to dinner tomorrow night! And also to send him some gifts. It’s not convenient for him to say it out directly in the office just now,” Li Xin explained.
“What a crook! He’s so cunning! Yet he looks like an honest official!” Liu Guang said disdainfully.
“If he’s an honest official, then pigs will fly! Let’s go back and tell Wu Duo about this. We’ll have to work together to get the task done,” Li Xin said.
After they got back, Li Xin quickly gave Zhang Fu a call and made an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow night at the most luxurious and decadent restaurant in Shen City. One meal there would cost at least 1,000 dollars! That was the same amount as the annual salary of an ordinary person. It was said that Zhang Fu was a regular here and would come here whenever he had any personal meetings.
Time passed quickly and it was finally the appointment time. Li Xin and Liu Guang stood at the door of the restaurant to wait for Zhang Fu. When Zhang Fu arrived, he was dressed casually and in all black, looking completely different from how he looked at work. He was also wearing a mask.
“Director Zhang, you’re finally here! Are you feeling unwell? Why are you wearing a mask?” Liu Guang asked.
“I have asthma, so I will usually wear a mask,” Director Zhang explained..
