Chapter 1457: Dong Yujun Has Led Me Astray

Jingcheng!

Wei Hongwen, Party Secretary and Chairman of the Daguang Group, was smoking in his office.

Because of the high-end residential project in Chaoyang District, the Daguang Group had suffered a loss of 40 million.

He had seized this opportunity to finally bring down his mortal enemy, Dong Yujun.

Although the final disciplinary result for Dong Yujun had not yet been released, he had already been expelled, and it was inevitable that he would be sent inside for five, seven, or eight years.

Now, the Daguang Group was Wei Hongwen's world; there were no more obstacles.

Logically speaking, this was the time for him to be in high spirits and show off his skills, but he was not happy.

Especially since the New Year was almost here, and all the people of China were filled with joy.

Wei Hongwen's face, however, was always gloomy, which caused the air pressure in the entire Daguang Group to drop.

"Damn it."

Wei Hongwen slapped the table in anger, cursed, and stood up abruptly.

Then, with a cigarette in one hand and the other behind his back, he paced back and forth in the office.

He had indeed brought Dong Yujun down, but he had to clean up the mess Dong Yujun had left behind.

The first was to recover that 40 million, but this money had already become illicit funds and had been confiscated.

It would be easier said than done for him to get it back; he estimated that even if the Minister stepped in to speak, it wouldn't be effective.

Because every department was short of money now, so poor their eyes were turning blue.

With such a large sum of funds, and money that had been reasonably fined and confiscated, how could they possibly give it to him?

In fact, he had known from the beginning that this money definitely couldn't be recovered.

Therefore, he contacted Jia Hongbin at the first opportunity.

In his mind, if he lowered his posture, Jia Hongbin would have to give him this face and unfreeze the project.

But he never expected that Jia Hongbin wouldn't even answer his phone calls.

For the next few days, he went to the district repeatedly, but still couldn't see the man.

At this point, he understood that Jia Hongbin was avoiding him.

This caused his heart to sink to the bottom; even if he had a thousand abilities, he couldn't display them if he couldn't see the person.

With no other choice, he could only run to the Ministry to find his old leader.

Since his own face was small, he would let the old leader step in; that should work, right?

Once again, he never expected that even if the old leader stepped in, it wouldn't be effective.

Jia Hongbin was either conducting research below or in a meeting; in any case, he just wouldn't answer the phone.

Wei Hongwen was worried; if this couldn't be resolved, he wouldn't be able to sit firmly in this Chairman's seat.

Unless he could find a project to earn back the 40 million loss.

In fact, doing so had another benefit: it could prove his ability.

It could make the leaders above value him more and give the employees below confidence in him.

But what business could earn 40 million all at once, and also be a guaranteed profit without loss?

Because once there was a loss, the effect would be the opposite; the leaders would be very disappointed in him, and the employees would definitely look down on him.

So, this method was even more difficult than recovering the 40 million and having Jia Hongbin unfreeze the project.

Irritability—this was Wei Hongwen's state at this time, and the employees were also walking on eggshells every day.

Because no one knew when they would be inexplicably scolded by Wei Hongwen.

Wei Hongwen stood in front of the window, watching the snowflakes still drifting outside, not knowing what his next step should be.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The office door was knocked, and Wei Hongwen shouted without turning his head.

"Come in!"

The door was gently pushed open, and Mao Hongfang walked in cautiously with a smile on his face.

"Chairman!"

For the current Wei Hongwen, only by hearing the people below call him Chairman could his mood improve slightly.

"What is it?"

Mao Hongfang walked to Wei Hongwen's side with light steps: "I know you have been worrying about the mess Dong Yujun left behind."

Wei Hongwen turned his head and glanced at Mao Hongfang this time: "Do you have a way to solve it?"

Mao Hongfang bent his waist slightly: "The 40 million definitely cannot be recovered; now we can only let Chaoyang unfreeze the project."

"Does this damn thing still need you to say it?" Wei Hongwen cursed: "Now I can't even see Jia Hongbin's person; what should I do?"

Mao Hongfang smiled: "If you can't find him in the district, go block him at home. If you can't block him, his wife must be at home, right?"

It wasn't that Wei Hongwen hadn't thought about going to Jia Hongbin's home, but this was different from going to the district government.

Going to the district was official business; being rejected dozens or hundreds of times was no problem.

But if he went to his home, that belonged to a private visit; actually, there was nothing wrong with that either.

The key point was that the two had never had any friendship before.

He was also a dignified department-level cadre; if he went there rashly and was rejected at the door again,

he would have nowhere to put his face, and the matter would no longer have any room for maneuver.

Mao Hongfang also knew Wei Hongwen's concerns: "I will go to Jia Hongbin's home to block him. If I can't see him, it doesn't matter; you and he still have room for maneuver.

If I see him, it proves that he also wants to talk to us. Whether it's good or bad, we can always know his thoughts, unlike now where we are completely in the dark."

A smile appeared on Wei Hongwen's face; this was the first time he had smiled in recent times.

"Xiao Mao, I have always believed that you are a person with ideas and ability. I really didn't misjudge you."

Mao Hongfang's spirit lifted: "I have some ideas, and some ability, but not much. If I want to grow further, I must be under the Chairman's leadership."

"Hahaha..."

Wei Hongwen laughed loudly and patted Mao Hongfang on the shoulder: "Go do it. As long as you handle this matter well, there will be a position for you as Vice Chairman."

Mao Hongfang's body trembled, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Chairman, for your cultivation. I will definitely handle this matter well. It's just that there is one point I'm not sure about, which is why I came to find you."

"Oh?" Wei Hongwen asked suspiciously: "What are you not sure about?"

"Going to Jia Hongbin's home, I can't go empty-handed, right?" Mao Hongfang said: "I'm not sure what to send."

Wei Hongwen suddenly realized: "I haven't had contact with Jia Hongbin either. Just buy some fruit and some pastries; the value shouldn't exceed 200."

Mao Hongfang was stunned: "Just... just that little?"

"Right!" Wei Hongwen smiled: "If he doesn't want to talk to us, you won't be able to see him even if you bring a mountain of gold and silver. If he wants to talk to us, a gift worth 200 is enough.

If he agrees to our request and keeps these fruits and pastries, it won't be too late for us to send some good things after the project is unfrozen."

"High, truly high." Mao Hongfang gave a thumbs up and flattered: "Being able to be by the Chairman's side is the luckiest thing in my life."

After speaking, this guy sighed: "That bastard Dong Yujun has led me astray. I followed him for so many years and learned nothing, and I was almost harmed by him."

Wei Hongwen laughed again. Outside, two employees were passing by the door on tiptoe, very afraid of disturbing him and getting scolded.

Suddenly hearing Wei Hongwen's laughter, the two were startled, followed by expressions of surprise.

Listening to the volume of the laughter, Old Wei's mood should be quite good. Could it be that the dark clouds hanging over the group were about to disperse?

This damn thing was a good thing. For this period of time, they had been terrified of being scolded all day long.

The two straightened their backs, no longer walking on tiptoe, and left quickly.

They had to pass this good news down and let everyone be happy. ===== CHAPTER 1458 =====
