Chapter 956: Haibin Has Set His Sights on the Copper Mine!
In Tang Ye's view, this small episode would not affect the overall situation.
On the contrary, it could allow their relationship to progress further.
Between people, sometimes experiencing misunderstandings and resolving them can deepen mutual understanding.
And investigating the cause of Zhong Leng's death might perhaps become a breakthrough point for breaking the ice in his relationship with Shi Yao.
Tang Ye warned himself!
Haste makes waste!
Handling a case requires making it an ironclad case; one must absolutely not rush the process!
Even if there is pressure, one must remain patient!
Move step by step.
Just at this moment, the telephone on the desk suddenly rang.
Tang Ye picked up the receiver to answer.
Li Na's serious voice came through the earpiece.
"Secretary Tang, I am reporting something to you. After the Spring Festival, there have always been idlers coming to the copper mine to stir up trouble."
Tang Ye's brows locked tightly in an instant, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is the background of these idlers?"
Li Na replied, "They didn't reveal their true identities, but I suspect it must have something to do with Jinjun Company."
Tang Ye pressed, "Why do you say that?"
Li Na explained, "Before the year ended, people from Jinjun Company took the initiative to find me and proposed buying a portion of the copper mine's shares, which I rejected on the spot. The other party left behind harsh words, saying that to do business in Yanzhou, one must understand the rules and not try to hog everything for oneself. Whoever breaks the rules must accept the consequences!"
Tang Ye looked surprised: "Why are you only telling me now?"
Li Na gave a bitter smile: "I initially thought the other party was just making empty threats, and didn't expect they would really use such underhanded tactics. But don't worry, Hongling Group has been established in Yanzhou for so many years, and we aren't someone anyone can just push around. The first time they did catch us off guard, but the next two times they came to stir up trouble, they didn't get any advantage."
Hongling Group has a Mine Protection Team under its banner.
He urged: "You must make full preparations; they likely have other methods in store. I will immediately coordinate with the public security system to intervene in this matter."
Li Na quickly replied: "Alright, then I will trouble you."
Tang Ye's complexion grew increasingly gloomy, and his mood became extremely heavy.
He never imagined that just as the copper mine showed a little bit of activity, Haibin would be like a fly, following the scent and setting his sights on this piece of cake.
Although he had no shares in the copper mine, this copper mine was a project he had strongly urged Sun Hai and Li Na to invest in.
It concerned not only collective benefits but also involved personal feelings.
"We are recently preparing to conduct further surveys on several other exploration targets." Li Na spoke to Tang Ye without reservation.
"Mm, strive to keep up the good work!" Tang Ye encouraged.
Wanting to explore a new mine is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
However, with the success of the copper mine extraction as a foundation, Li Na is now full of drive!
Inside the villa.
Haibin organized a private party.
Those who could attend the party were all notable young masters in the province.
Liu Cheng drank too much without realizing it, teased a girlfriend brought by one of the young masters, and while speaking filth, a fight broke out.
Haibin was long used to hearing such news; he hurried downstairs and persuaded Liu Cheng to leave.
"Damn it, turning against me for a woman, what a piece of work! That woman doesn't know how many times she's been played with, she's dirtier than the shoes in my shoe cabinet, I don't even care for her!" Liu Cheng cursed drunkenly.
Haibin cursed "idiot" in his heart, but his face still wore a smile, "I'll introduce you to a good one, you're guaranteed to like her."
Liu Cheng's anger subsided a little, "For your sake, I won't lower myself to his level. Where is she?"
Haibin pursed his lips toward a woman alone in the corner, "There, a dancer from the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe, I guarantee you'll like her."
Liu Cheng saw Yin Hong in the corner, knowing this woman had come for Haibin, and smiled as he nudged Haibin, "I had my eye on her long ago, but I thought she was your woman, so I didn't hit on her."
Haibin could not stop thinking about Li Youyou, and Yin Hong's initiative made him feel guarded and repulsed.
He understood women like Yin Hong very well.
This was a woman impatient to climb the social ladder; Li Youyou was harder to get than her, but could bring a greater sense of conquest.
Liu Cheng walked toward Yin Hong.
"Hey, Teacher Yin, why are you alone?"
"It's my first time here, I don't have any acquaintances."
"Am I not your acquaintance? Come, let me toast you."
Yin Hong knew Liu Cheng's drinking habits were poor, but she wanted to integrate into this circle, so she had to be duplicitous.
Thus, she picked up her wine glass and drank a cup.
Not far away, Haibin saw Liu Cheng and Yin Hong talking closely, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Yin Hong, this woman, has ambition; she belongs to the category of pawns that can be put to good use.
At this time, Bao Wenlong entered from outside and came to Haibin's side, "Boss, a word in private."
Haibin and Bao Wenlong went to a quiet room on the third floor.
"Baozi, is there something the matter?"
Bao Wenlong's tone was heavy, "That copper mine in Dayu County is very tricky. The brothers suffered a big loss this time; we didn't expect them to be prepared."
Haibin looked at Bao Wenlong in surprise, "Baozi, you can't even handle this small matter?"
Bao Wenlong gave a bitter smile, "Hongling Group's Mine Protection Team, that bunch of people don't fear death when they fight. We prepared guns, but they were useless; the other side played with explosives."
Haibin was speechless for a moment, "Damn, you really are fucking useless!"
Bao Wenlong asked weakly, "What should we do next?"
Haibin said in a deep voice, "What else can we do? We have to just let it go."
Bao Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief and asked for instructions, "Several brothers were seriously injured this time."
Haibin waved his hand impatiently, "Just report the medical expenses to the finance department. To be honest, compared to Leng Zi, you are still lacking."
Bao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile, "Boss, Brother Leng was very loyal, but everyone has been curious about why he suddenly died."
Haibin raised his eyes and stared at Bao Wenlong, "What do you mean by that?"
Bao Wenlong took a deep breath, "I don't mean anything! Brother Leng followed you for so many years and was loyal to you, but the brothers have complaints about how he was handled!"
Haibin slammed the table in anger, "What are you trying to say with that sarcastic tone? If you don't want to work, then get out!"
Bao Wenlong gave Haibin a cold look, "I really don't want to work here anymore."
Having said that, Bao Wenlong left resolutely.
Haibin watched Bao Wenlong's back, furious and burning with rage!
He suddenly missed Zhong Leng.
When Zhong Leng was alive, no one dared to talk to him like that.
However, Zhong Leng's prestige was too high.
Sometimes the people below would only listen to Zhong Leng.
Therefore, his achievements overshadowed his master!
Haibin had become wary of Zhong Leng.
In fact, he still regretted it quite a bit.
Regarding the way Zhong Leng was handled, he had indeed been a bit heartless.
Zhong Leng died under unclear circumstances.
Nowadays, someone is spreading a Hidden Plot internally, shaking his own prestige.
……
Around ten o'clock the next day, Haibin was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
He answered the call.
A man's voice came from the other end.
"Boss Hai, this is Tang Ye!"
……
End of Chapter
