Chapter 2919: Words Don't Agree

The old guy sensed that Zhao Desan realized that the purpose of his inviting him to dinner was not this, so he smiled awkwardly, smacked his lips, laughed, and said: "Director Liu is worthy of being so young and promising, really smart. Since Director Liu knows that I didn't come to you for this, then I won't beat around the bush. Let's be direct. Director Liu, can you... can you delete those things?"

Zhao Desan also laughed, then with a cunning smile on the corner of his mouth, said: "Boss Lin, it was your beautiful daughter-in-law Zhang Hui who told you about this, right?" In Zhao Desan's view, this old fox could know about this so quickly only because that bitchy young woman Zhang Hui told him. But that's fine, since he came to his door, it saved him from looking for this old guy himself.

Lin Dafa smiled extremely awkwardly, which meant Zhao Desan was right. He was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Director Liu, here is one million. If you think it's less, you can name a price, and we can discuss it further." As he spoke, he pushed the black leather bag full of money toward Zhao Desan again.

Zhao Desan asked this old fox back with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Boss Lin, do you think money can buy me off and make me give up the basic principles that a person needs to adhere to? You can give me so much money, Boss Ren seems to be able to do it too, right? Who do you think I will choose?" For Zhao Desan, he was now alone and had no worries. Moreover, as the head of the unit, if he wanted to make some money, wasn't it as simple as one? He was no longer the Zhao Desan who entered the Coal Bureau back then, and he couldn't be bought off by a little money.

Lin Dafa could hear Zhao Desan's meaning; it seemed that money had no effect on him. He lowered his eyebrows for a few seconds, raised his eyelids, looked at Zhao Desan with those triangular eyes, and said with a treacherous smile and a gentle tone: "Director Liu, aren't you an official for promotion and wealth? Right? We can be friends, why bother me? As long as you are willing to name a number, I, Lin Dafa, will definitely satisfy you. If you are willing to let me go, I guarantee that you, Director Liu, will enjoy glory and wealth for the rest of your life, and have endless money. Everyone is for making money, right? Even your Provincial Construction Committee's Director Zheng, isn't he also for making money? Let's let go of our previous suspicions and be friends, how about it?"

Zhao Desan gave a 'hehe' laugh, picked up the teacup, took a sip, moistened his lips, and said with a dry laugh: "I, Zhao Desan, am different from others. I want to be an honest official..."

"Haha, Director Liu, you are really joking. Where are there any honest officials among officials now? They are all for promotion and wealth. Maybe you are young now and think so, but after two years, you won't think so. Besides, Director Liu, you have also been in the officialdom for so long, you should know what the officialdom is like. Everyone is an official for money, and you want to be an honest official, you want to be unsoiled from the mud? Haha, impossible... impossible..." Lin Dafa followed Zhao Desan's words, laughing with a mocking tone. In Lin Dafa's eyes, he had been dealing with the officialdom for more than 20 years. Whether from the grassroots to the high level, any leader or cadre he knew had never been a Bao Qingtian who was clean and selfless. Instead, from bottom to top, one appetite was bigger than the other. Basically, whatever they did, according to the difficulty, it was almost clearly marked. Today, hearing Zhao Desan actually say he wanted to be an honest official, Lin Dafa felt how funny it was in his heart.

Seeing Lin Dafa find his words funny, Zhao Desan gave a 'hehe' laugh and said: "Boss Lin, don't you believe it?"

Lin Dafa still shook his head and said: "I don't believe it. Director Liu, I have been dealing with your officialdom for more than 20 years. To be honest, I have never met an honest official who is clean and dedicated to the people. You chose to be an official, the original intention may be good, but the officialdom is a big dyeing vat. You say everyone is a person who uses the power in their hands to obtain benefits, and you live in such an environment, do you dare to guarantee that you will not be affected? You can't get together with other leaders, don't give benefits to the leaders above, even if your work ability is strong, can you still go up? I am afraid it is impossible, right? Hehe... Director Liu, as long as you are willing to let me go, I guarantee that I will use my connections to let you go very far. In short, as long as you, Director Liu, name a condition, I, Lin Dafa, will definitely satisfy you." Lin Dafa used all his strength to win over Zhao Desan.

Zhao Desan asked with a lukewarm smile: "Is it that no matter what condition I propose, Boss Lin will agree?"

"Director Liu, just say it. Whether it is money or women, I will agree to all of you." Lin Dafa put on a posture of agreeing to any submission of Zhao Desan, nodded with a treacherous smile.

Zhao Desan sneered, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took a puff leisurely, and then said unhurriedly: "My condition is that you, Boss Lin, give up that land, withdraw from the competition, and those videos and pictures, I will keep them secret for you until you are old. How about it? I don't know if Boss Lin is willing to agree to this condition or not?"

Seeing Zhao Desan finally change his face, Lin Dafa gritted his teeth in anger, his cheeks bulging, and those triangular eyes almost emitted flames. Not only was he angry for a while, but the old guy still held the attitude of settling things, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Xiao Zhao, you know this land, I have... have poured a lot of effort into it, and spent a lot of effort for this. To let me give it up, I am afraid... I am afraid it is impossible."

Zhao Desan gave two dry laughs and said: "That's it. People have selfish desires. You came to me today to persuade me and buy me off, and we are different, so we don't conspire. You are not able to agree to any condition for me. Besides, I am a person who keeps his word. Since I promised to help Boss Ren, I will definitely not break my promise. If I don't interfere, wouldn't I be too unkind? Right? On the contrary, I hope Boss Lin will give me face and give up this land. How about it?"

"Director Liu, I, Lin Dafa, can agree to any condition for you, but I cannot agree to the land matter." Lin Dafa said stubbornly with a smile. Although his face was still smiling, it was obviously not so friendly anymore, and those triangular eyes revealed a chill.

"Boss Lin, we are really alike. I am the same as you. Everything can be discussed, but the land matter has no room for retreat. Hehe." Zhao Desan said with a lukewarm smile. He knew that wanting Lin Dafa to give up that land was harder than cutting off a piece of meat from his body. But since the words had been made clear, Zhao Desan could be considered to have 'carried a gun with a mouse'—stuck with him!

Lin Dafa put away the smile on his face and asked: "Director Liu, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? Boss Lin, don't you know yet? Then I will repeat it again. I want you, Boss Lin, to give up this land." Zhao Desan repeated his idea unhurriedly, looking at Lin Dafa with a look of certainty.

Lin Dafa sneered and said: "Impossible! There is nothing to discuss about this matter. But in order not to embarrass Director Liu, I have a way. Director Liu, you can pass a word to Boss Ren. As long as he is willing to give up this land, I, Lin Dafa, can give her some necessary compensation." ===== CHAPTER 2920 =====
