Chapter 327: Is 100 catties of gold also a lot?
Regarding whether Zhu Xianhua lacks wisdom in the five elements, this matter is really hard to say.
One thing is certain: he now lacks calcium in his five elements, with no suspense at all! Because his legs are already trembling, he can't even stand steady.
"What are you shaking for? You have a golden chair as a backrest, be tough, straighten your waist." Tang Xia slapped Zhu Xianhua on the back.
Zhu Xianhua's waist trembled, still couldn't straighten up.
He lowered his head nervously and confessed: "How would I know he was a martial world swindler? If I had known he was so unreliable, I would have kicked him to Africa to be a native."
"So you think the mistake isn't yours, but that martial world godman?" Lin Dongfan looked at Zhu Xianhua in surprise.
The boundless night could not shroud Zhu Xianhua's nervous feelings.
Zhu Xianhua kept his head down: "Also... also not what I meant... I... I definitely am also wrong, my faith has gone astray..."
"How much gold was used in total for this golden chair?" Lin Dongfan asked.
Zhu Xianhua replied without hesitation: "100 kilograms."
"Damn!"
This time not only did Lin Dongfan exclaim in shock with a vulgarity, but Tang Xia, Jian Si Ning, and others also were stunned speechless; really unexpected, they actually used 100 kilograms of gold.
According to recent market prices.
270 yuan per gram, the total value of 100 kilograms of gold reaches 27 million!
That's enough to buy over a dozen Range Rovers.
Lin Dongfan curiously asked: "Where did you get so much gold?"
Zhu Xianhua curled his lips disdainfully: "Is 100 kilograms a lot? Please don't act like you've never seen the world, okay? This makes me embarrassed."
"Hmm, indeed not much. I once dug up a golden coffin, which was several times more than this."
At this moment, Lin Dongfan was truly shocked by these corrupt officials' worldviews, his worldview shattered completely! Damn! One hundred kilograms of gold, in the eyes of these scumbags, is actually not worth mentioning.
Lin Dongfan wondered: "You've embezzled so much, didn't you ever think this day would come?"
"I have."
Zhu Xianhua shook his head regretfully.
Lin Dongfan scorned: "Since you thought about it, why did you still embezzle?"
Zhu Xianhua shook his head and sighed: "He who walks by the river often gets his shoes wet; I thought there might be a day I'd be investigated, but I didn't expect you would cut my chair with a knife."
Upon hearing that, Lin Dongfan was speechless.
This heaven-defying lucky mentality seems to have no flaw at all.
Zhu Xianhua also said: "Actually, at first I was also a principled person, I didn't intend to embezzle greatly, but there was no way; if I didn't embezzle, I couldn't get by..."
"How do you mean that? Speak, I love to hear."
Lin Dongfan couldn't immediately understand Zhu Xianhua's corrupt logic.
Zhu Xianhua sighed with many feelings: "For example, when I worked at the Provincial Broadcasting Bureau, I was suppressed by the division leader to the point that even breathing was a bit difficult; offending him once meant lifelong suppression! What could I do? I could only seek another way. To seek another way I had to go through the back door, and going through the back door meant sending money. If I didn't embezzle, what would I have to send?"
"Old Zhu, you're corrupt to the bone, impossible to wash clean." Lin Dongfan said: "Speak up, whose back door are you running?"
"This..."
Zhu Xianhua hesitated a bit.
Lin Dongfan urged impatiently: "Now you're like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river—you can't even protect yourself, yet you're still hesitating over nothing. Hurry up and speak, don't delay me going home to be with my wife and kids. Mali Gobi, it's because of you corrupt officials that I have to work overtime every day."
"Section Chief Lin, I seem to have heard you swearing, saying Mali Gobi."
Suddenly, Zhu Xianhua seemed to have grabbed Lin Dongfan's tail, actually showing a hint of a smug smile.
Lin Dongfan directly shone the flashlight on Zhu Xianhua's face: "So, are you trying to complain about me? You can go ahead and try, Mali Gobi! Heaven being made to work overtime every day by you dogs isn't enough, you also want me to take the blame, and I can't even have a little emotion?"
"Well..." Zhu Xianhua gave an embarrassed laugh: "I didn't say I wanted to complain about you."
Lin Dongfan urged: "Then don't stand here babbling, hurry up and speak! Whose back door did you actually go through, damn it? Did you step in with your left foot first or your right foot first?"
"Sun Zhiqing, a 2 million yuan door‑knocker."
Things have come to this, Zhu Xianhua no longer hides anything.
He clearly knew that Lin Dongfan just wanted to retaliate against the Zou family behind the Sun family! If he didn't make things clear today, he would surely suffer the consequences.
Zhu Xianhua steadied himself.
He continued: "Sun Zhiqing's Qingguo Media is the largest company in the Jianglan entertainment circle. At that time I promised Sun Zhiqing that if I became deputy station chief, her artists could freely appear on Jianglan Satellite TV's variety shows. Moreover, I still have connections at the Provincial Broadcasting Bureau. For those project approvals, I could guarantee her a smooth green light, exempt from review."
"This bit of power, you've figured it out completely." Lin Dongfan remarked with a smile: "I just wonder, you're giving up everything you have to curry favor with her—what's the difference between that and being her dog?"
"I am just a lapdog, and I never denied it."
Zhu Xianhua furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment.
He continued: "Back then, Sun Zhiqing's father was the provincial 003, her husband was the Capital Circle Prince; who wouldn't want to be her lapdog? Many people wanted to fawn over her but lacked the qualifications."
That's actually a true statement.
Given Sun Zhiqing's illustrious family background, ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to approach her, let alone be her lapdog.
Moreover, Sun Zhiqing herself is not simple.
Like now, her husband Zou Feiyun was arrested by the Provincial Department, and she has never made a public appearance, not even attempting to gather news; she is a very composed person.
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth from childhood.
Graduated from Berklee College of Music, after returning to China she entered the entertainment circle as a singer, debuting at the peak! Later she quit the circle, married into the Jingcheng Zou family, and transformed into the CEO of Qingguo Media.
In Sun Zhiqing's life, every milestone stands at a height ordinary people cannot reach.
Reincarnation really is a technical skill.
Lin Dongfan asked Zhu Xianhua: "Do you have confidence in getting Sun Zhiqing to come out?"
"Well..." Zhu Xianhua looked embarrassed: "Under normal circumstances, when I invite her to discuss work, she comes in person. But now that I'm in trouble, she definitely won't come."
"She still doesn't know you've been arrested." Lin Dongfan said: "Call her right away and invite her to the TV station."
"Alright, I'll give it a try."
Just as Zhu Xianhua's words fell, Jian Sining handed over his phone.
When Zhu Xianhua pressed the call button and turned on the speakerphone.
The surrounding air grew much tenser; Lin Dongfan and the others all eagerly awaited the other party to pick up the phone! If we could get Sun Zhiqing to come out tonight, capturing her afterward would be a piece of cake.
The phone rang for a while, and finally connected.
Zhu Xianhua also dared not play any tricks; as usual, he spoke respectfully: "Hello, President Sun, we plan to adjust this current variety show; some details need to be discussed face‑to‑face with you. Could you spare the time to come over?"
"Give the phone to Lin Dongfan."
A cold voice came from the phone, and the scene instantly fell into dead silence.
After all, we still underestimated Sun Zhiqing.
The arrest operation tonight didn't alarm anyone; unexpectedly, we still couldn't escape Sun Zhiqing's notice, and Lin Dongfan reluctantly took the phone.
He opened his mouth and said: "President Sun, will you come over to surrender yourself, or must I personally come arrest you?"
