Chapter 534

After the dishes have gone through five flavors and the wine three rounds.

We need to discuss something serious.

Fortunately, Ru Meng had also eaten her fill. Xiao Shitou sat here drinking, drinking rather indiscreetly.

Ru Meng then let Xiao Shitou take her out to wander the night market outside.

Xiao Shitou and Ru Meng left.

Only I, Tian Shi, and Hou Laoban remained.

Hou Laoban said then: "Jianqiang, this time going to Sijiucheng. When you see Second Master Wen, did he say when he'd come to Zaocheng?"

I laughed and shook my head,

"Hou Laoban, you don't know, how could I know when Mr. Wen will come to Zaocheng? This time I went to Sijiucheng mainly to bring Zhao Xiaohua, so he could meet Mr. Wen."

"In the future, if Mr. Wen has anything, he can directly command him."

"What you say, Jianqiang, how can my relationship with Second Master Wen compare to yours? Second Master Wen calls you Brother Jianqiang."

"This shows your position in Second Master Wen's heart." Hou Laoban said, reeking of alcohol.

"Hou Laoban, whenever Mr. Wen comes is a minor matter. Tian Shi, today I'll speak frankly what's on my mind."

"That's right, between us we need to make things clear."

"Hou Laoban, this dish has gotten cold, have the waiter reheat it for us." Tian Shi pointed at the dish on the table and said.

Hou Laoban is a smart person; he still doesn't understand Tian Shi's meaning?

That is, I don't want a third party present in my talk with Tian Shi.

Although we're all in the same boat, the talk must not be passed to six ears.

Hou Laoban hurriedly stood up,

"Alright, Tian Shi, I'll arrange someone to reheat the dishes."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Only I and Tian Shi remained in the room.

Tian Shi glanced at me,

then took out a cigarette and tossed it to me,

"Jianqiang, now there's no outsider; say whatever you want."

Tian Shi, I want to talk about the Qi He Kuang. I took the cigarette from Tian Shi's hand.

Oh, the matter of the Qi He Kuang, you went to Sijiucheng, how did Wen Han say? Tian Shi asked directly.

Mr. Wen's meaning is that he hopes to leave the Qi He Kuang to me.

After all, I bought the Qi He Kuang with my own money; Kong Shi's taking it is robbery.

Now Kong Shi is finished; this Qi He Kuang needs to be returned to me, so I have something to hold onto. I lit the cigarette at this moment.

As long as Wen Han speaks, this matter will be easy to handle. At that time, Kong Shi temporarily shut down the Qi He Kuang on the grounds of failing the safety inspection.

And transferred the qualifications of the Qi He Kuang to the city.

Now the Qi He Kuang is in a state of suspended production.

After I arrived, I also inquired about the Qi He Kuang.

The workers only receive some living subsidies, and they have strong objections.

You know, after it came under city management, this Qi He Kuang can forget about making a profit; there are too many people for the work,

Many people only think about benefits and never about how to make money.

Jianqiang, we haven't known each other long, but we already trust each other.

I feel that the matter of the Qi He Kuang should be handed over to you to manage.

That way the enterprise can make money, support a large number of workers, and also ease the city's burden. Tian Shi said with a smile.

I took a puff of the cigarette,

Thank you, Tian Shi, for your trust,

Whether the Qi He Kuang makes money or not, I dare not guarantee it now.

Because the Qi He Kuang mainly relies on supplying high-quality coal to the Zaocheng Mining Group; if they don't want it, no matter how capable I am, it would be hard to make money.

In our cooperation with the Zaocheng Mining Group, we had just smoothed over the relationship, but then I had an accident, and the relationship was broken again.

Tian Shi, to be frank, I am not familiar with the Zaocheng Mining Group either.

After I take over the Qi He Kuang, I will also need to re-establish the relationship; that is also a troublesome matter.

Tian Shi also took a puff of the cigarette,

Jianqiang, I understand your meaning. I can help you with the relationship with the Zaocheng Mining Group.

Because their current boss and I are university classmates; just trust my word, and this matter can be resolved.

Jianqiang, between us there's no need to hide anything; I can help you.

I never expected Tian Shi would help me,

I quickly said, "Tian Shi, how can I thank you?"

If you can help me with the Qi He Kuang matter, then the Qi He Kuang will definitely be profitable in the future.

As for this profit-sharing part, Tian Shi, do you have any demands?

Tian Shi smiled,

Jianqiang, this matter, I am just lending a hand; what you said, you handle it yourself.

Sigh, some things are like that; today someone is the leader here, tomorrow who knows where they'll go to rest.

Jianqiang, all the hustle and bustle of the world comes from profit.

I am also a worldly person.

Listening to Tian Shi's exclamation,

He is right; he is in this position, and it is unclear when a change will occur.

So once you have the authority, you must promptly monetize it.

Otherwise, it will expire and become void.

But how to monetize it requires some brainwork.

Taking it directly is unsafe, could cause trouble, and would be subject to others.

Tian Shi thinks I am a reliable person, and they all rely on the Wen Family as a backing.

He helped me contact Zaocheng Mining Group.

Then as long as my Qi He Kuang makes profit,

He will also share in the benefit.

Everything falls into place.

Although Tian Shi made no request.

I already understand how to give him.

As long as the interests are bound together,

He can also help me with some matters in Zaocheng.

I raise my cup at this moment,

"Tian Shi, I will say nothing else; everything is in the wine.

When I act, you can rest assured.

Today, I won't be explicit.

Believe that once the Qi He Kuang makes money, everyone will be fine."

Tian Shi also lifts his cup,

"Jianqiang, I trust you. In fact, before coming to Zaocheng, I had already investigated you.

I know your character,

Your relationship with Zhu Sheng is solid and spot‑on.

I also have had exchanges with Zhu Sheng.

He constantly praises you.

His trust in you shows that your character is just right.

The reason Kong Shi got into trouble is that he lost you,

You are his strong pillar.

One must not be too greedy, or disaster will follow.

I have been working in the Provincial Capital.

After arriving here, I found the work to be a tangled mess.

Anything that happens here in Zaocheng, just rest assured; we will discuss it together."

I quickly clinked cups with Tian Shi.

I like Tian Shi's straightforwardness.

Tian Shi is also familiar with Zhu Sheng,

That means our relationship has taken another step.

The reason Tian Shi dares to help me and make requests is for a reason.

He trusts my character, so he dares to take.

Let me reiterate here: not all leaders act recklessly.

Only those who are insatiably greedy will take recklessly and cause trouble.

Ordinary people will take; those in this position who do not seek personal gain cannot get by.

Think about it: without taking, how can a family enjoy a good life,

With housing prices so high, how can children buy homes in big cities or study abroad.

And how to help relatives back home.

Relying on salary is a joke.

For those in this position, the proper matter is how to take safely.

Safety is fundamental.

If you take without incident, that is true skill.

Tian Shi dares to proactively help me and also makes requests; that is trust in me.

I enjoy associating with such people.

I said, "Tian Shi, does this Qi He Kuang still need any procedures? I want to handle them quickly, lest the night be long and full of dreams."

"Tomorrow then, I will hold a meeting to study it and go through all the procedures.

It may cost you some expenses. This can also shut others up." Tian Shi drained his cup in one gulp.
