Chapter 746: No money, no talk

Zhang Shenghui leaned against the back of the chair, holding the teacup and just about to drink, when the phone on the desk rang.

He hurriedly put down the teacup and grabbed the phone: "I am Zhang Shenghui!"

"General Manager Zhang, I am Liu Zhong." Liu Zhong's tone was urgent, "Factory Director Wu and Chairman Zhou are together."

Zhang Shenghui's heart sank to the bottom. His guess was correct. Those two bastards were plotting some conspiracy behind his back.

Without thinking, he dialed the internal phone, notified the driver's class to prepare the car, and then stood up and walked out, left the office building, and got into his car.

"Go to Beijing!"

…………

Zhou Anqin walked out of the exam venue gate lightly, and Seeing Jian Qiu greeted her quickly: "How is it?"

Zhou Anqin nodded: "It feels okay."

Seeing Jian Qiu asked: "Did you write down all the answers?"

"Wrote them down." Zhou Anqin handed a white paper with answers written on it to Seeing Jian Qiu, "I only apply to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, so it's useless to estimate the score."

"Then write it down too." Seeing Jian Qiu folded the paper with the answers and put it in her bag, "Estimate the score, so you have a number in your heart."

"Where is my brother?" Zhou Anqin asked, looking around.

"In the cold drink shop opposite." Seeing Jian Qiu pulled Zhou Anqin, crossed the road, and entered the cold drink shop.

"Brother!" Zhou Anqin walked over quickly and greeted Wu Hongkang, "Uncle Wu!"

According to age, Zhou Anqin should call Wu Hongkang uncle, but with Zhou Andong there, Zhou Anqin had to call him brother.

Wu Hongkang asked with a smile: "How was the exam today?"

"It's okay!" Zhou Anqin sat down.

An Jing saw the sweat on Zhou Anqin's forehead, took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her, then called the waiter and asked for a bottle of iced black tea.

Zhou Anqin took the tissue and wiped the sweat off her face, "It's too hot today, and I don't dare to drink too much water."

The waiter brought the iced black tea. After Zhou Anqin opened it, she drank nearly half a bottle in one breath.

"So cool!"

Seeing Jian Qiu looked at the time: "Let's go, I'm a little hungry, let's go eat first."

The five people arrived at the restaurant. It was already past 2:00 PM after eating, almost 6:00 PM.

"You say, will Zhang Shenghui really come to find me tomorrow?" Wu Hongkang asked Zhou Andong uncertainly.

Zhou Andong smiled: "Don't worry, he will definitely come to find you!"

…………

July 9, 1993, the 20th day of the fifth lunar month, Friday!

Today is the last day of the college entrance exam. Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu got up early, ate breakfast, and arrived at the exam venue.

Not only An Jing, but the old An couple also came to cheer for their goddaughter.

Zhou Andong walked over quickly: "Uncle, Aunt, you are so busy, why did you come too."

An Qingnong smiled and said: "Today is the last day of the exam, I asked for leave with your aunt, and we came together to cheer for Xiao Qin."

"The door is open!" An Jing shouted, and then said to Zhou Anqin, "Did you check everything you brought?"

"I checked it several times." Zhou Anqin waved her hand, "Godfather, Godmother, I'm going in."

"Go in!" The old An couple agreed, "Don't rush, review the questions first, do the ones you know how to do first."

"Got it!" Zhou Anqin shouted without looking back and entered the door.

At this time, Zhang Shenghui's car was parked downstairs at Wu Hongkang's house.

He arrived in Beijing after 10:00 PM last night, stayed in a hotel near Wu Hongkang's house for one night, and ran over to block him as soon as the sky was bright.

Wu Hongkang stood in front of the bedroom window, looking at Zhang Shenghui downstairs, a triumphant smile appearing on his face.

Using me as a gun, not only was I cheated of five thousand yuan by that bastard Zhou Andong, but I was also cheated of several meals by him.

In short, I have to take it back from you with interest.

"Old Wu!" Wu Hongkang's wife shouted from outside, "What are you hiding in the room for? If you don't leave, I'm leaving, I'll be late for work."

"Coming!" Wu Hongkang turned and left the bedroom, picked up his briefcase, and tucked it under his arm, "Let's go!"

The couple went downstairs and saw Zhang Shenghui. Wu Hongkang looked surprised.

"Old Zhang, why are you here?"

"Sister-in-law!" Zhang Shenghui greeted Wu Hongkang's wife first, then looked at Wu Hongkang with a fake smile.

"I couldn't find you on the phone, and you didn't return the pager, so I had to come and find you personally."

"You guys talk." Wu Hongkang's wife said to Zhang Shenghui, "I'll be late for work, I'm leaving first."

"I'll drive you." Wu Hongkang shouted hurriedly.

"No need!" Wu Hongkang's wife walked away quickly, "It's not far, I'll walk there myself."

Watching his wife leave, Wu Hongkang looked for something to say: "Well, Old Zhang, have you eaten?"

"Not yet!" Zhang Shenghui forcibly pulled Wu Hongkang, "Sit in my car, find a place, and let's have a drink."

"I'll sit in my own car." Wu Hongkang struggled, but was still pulled into Zhang Shenghui's car, laughing dryly, "Drinking early in the morning is bad for your health."

Zhang Shenghui suddenly sighed: "Old Wu, I treat you as a friend, as a strategic partner. If there is anything, you are the first one I think of."

Wu Hongkang's mouth curled into a smile that was hard to detect. Act, you just act, I'll see how good your acting is.

Zhang Shenghui looked at Wu Hongkang, his appearance very painful: "But you don't treat me as a friend, which makes me very sad."

"Sigh!"

Wu Hongkang also sighed, "Old Zhang, some things I can't help myself, Zhou Andong won't let me say."

Zhang Shenghui's eyes lit up, and then he became very angry: "He won't let you say, so you don't say? What is our relationship?"

Wu Hongkang felt happy in his heart, but his face also became a bit angry: "Do you know that I was blackmailed by him for 20,000 yuan before I could dig out information from his mouth?"

"20,000?" Zhang Shenghui looked at Wu Hongkang: "He asked you for 20,000?"

"Yes!" Wu Hongkang nodded, "I asked him about the matter, but he wanted 20,000 yuan from me, saying that this is exclusive information, and he wouldn't tell me without money."

Zhang Shenghui's heart stirred: "What did he say?"

Wu Hongkang suddenly closed his mouth, just smiling at Zhang Shenghui.

Zhang Shenghui immediately understood: "Say it, I can pay half of this 20,000 yuan."

Wu Hongkang shook his head: "Take the money first, this is exclusive news, no money, no talk."

Zhang Shenghui smiled: "Old Wu, I don't want to know anymore now, okay, you get off the car, I'll go back immediately."

Wu Hongkang pushed the car door and got off without hesitation, then waved with a smile: "Goodbye!"

Zhang Shenghui just wanted to put Wu Hongkang in a checkmate, but didn't expect Wu Hongkang not to fall for it and left as soon as he got off the car.

He was suddenly anxious, followed and got off the car: "Old Wu, where are you going?"

Wu Hongkang got into his own car: "Go find Zhou Andong!"

Zhang Shenghui's eyes jumped wildly, hurriedly ran over, opened the car door, and got in.

"Hey, hey, hey?" Wu Hongkang said dissatisfied: "What are you doing in my car?" ===== CHAPTER 747 =====
