Chapter 659: Mediation

The news I heard at the Municipal Public Security Bureau made me secretly proud, although I had a more direct shortcut to get the news, but I didn't want to use it. Minister Huang Shan is my father-in-law. If I often appear in his office, it will inevitably lead to unnecessary gossip.

Especially now, everything is in a state of being neither this nor that. The mayor didn't announce it, and there must be his reason. I just need patience. One of the most basic ways to test people is to see people's patience.

Now is the time to compete for patience.

As if the dust had settled, I suddenly felt a lot easier. The depression that had been pressing in my heart for days vanished after hearing the good news.

Taking office as the director of the Hengyue City Industrial Park Management Committee, I am not worse than any classmate in the Party School. I am a late bloomer! I chuckled, driving the car aimlessly and turning around on the streets of Hengyue City.

Hengyue is a big city, the largest prefecture-level city besides the provincial capital. The so-called big is not just big land, and not just many people, but these hardware need to be measured by how much fiscal revenue. Thinking back then, Hengyue City was once the founding capital of someone. If there was no extraordinary place, how could the ancients casually set the capital here?

In the previous dynasty, it was the imperial capital, so one can imagine that whether it is politics, economy, military, or culture, it has developed vigorously and has been fresh for a long time.

Last time I came back, I met Pan Xiaoqin wanting to buy shares in Qian Youyu's company. Although I dragged it over, I promised Pan Xiaoqin at that time that once I had time, I would definitely preside over justice for her.

Now it happens to be free. Brother Lao Bi didn't call to notify me, and the city's appointment document was held and not issued. The Petition Bureau had already handled the procedures before I left last time. In other words, my current status is nothing, and I don't need to manage anything, or even think about it.

I decided to go to Suxi Town.

As soon as I think of Suxi Town, my heart aches. The main reason for my pain is Yue Bai. I don't know her situation at all now. I only know that she was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission. Whether she returned safely like Wan Xiao, I don't know.

Yue Bai will not be as simple and carefree as Wan Xiao. Her case is an economic problem, and Wan Xiao involves an administrative problem. There is a world of difference between the two.

If Yue Bai has something to do, I don't even want to look at the sky of Suxi. Although this piece of land has exhausted my efforts and sprinkled my youth, the passion Yue Bai gave me is irreplaceable by anything.

Suxi has become a city, possessing all the noise and prosperity that a city should have. A new town, echoing a resort villa with international colors, the brilliance that Suxi radiates is the result that many old towns cannot hope for.

I sighed that time passed so fast, everything was like yesterday.

Just out of the city, I called Zhu Hua Yu and wanted to take her back to Suxi together.

Going back to Suxi this time, I am not just mediating Pan Xiaoqin and Qian Youyu, I also want to visit my old leader, old secretary Liu Quan, and Zhu Hua Yu's father, Zhu Shizhen.

They all retired, and none of them wanted to live in the city, all returned to the countryside, living a leisurely and self-satisfied rural life. The housing in the city that they dreamed of in the past is now empty and uninhabited.

There is a story here. Zhu Hua Yu's brother, Zhu Sheng, smashed the propaganda column in the county party committee compound years ago. Because he was afraid of trouble from the county, he ran to Shenzhen quietly alone.

Zhu Sheng is now a representative of Hengyue-born entrepreneurs, opening a factory with more than 3,000 people, specializing in manufacturing electronic components for large enterprises. The classmate Zhu Sheng went to rely on back then also opened a toy factory with more than 5,000 people. These materials, I had already mastered.

This is also why I must pull Zhu Hua Yu to the industrial park. Of course, whether it is the information I have mastered or arranging Zhu Hua Yu to enter the park, I have not revealed my true thoughts to anyone.

Zhu Hua Yu was happy when she heard that I was going to Suxi Town, saying that she would buy something when she went home, and then said she didn't want to go back.

I asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Hua Yu hesitated and said, "It's not a holiday now. If my dad sees me going back, he won't scold me to death!"

I comforted her, "Rest assured, I guarantee you will be fine. Your dad will always give me some face."

After talking for a long time, Zhu Hua Yu finally agreed to go back to Suxi Town with me. She asked me to buy some gifts like fruit, and she would catch up later.

I had to get out of the car, buy some fruit at the roadside fruit stall, and my eyes swept to the wine on the shelf, and my heart moved, and I asked the shop owner to get me four bottles of the most expensive wine.

Just as I brought the things to the car, Zhu Hua Yu took a taxi over.

I have arranged for her to stay at the Hengyan Hotel for these few days, and I haven't been there once myself.

Zhu Hua Yu got out of the car and got into the car without looking at me. As soon as I got into the car, she shouted angrily, "Finally remembered me today? Didn't you throw me in the hotel and disappear?"

I chuckled, "There are many people in the Hengyan Hotel who know me. If I go to a girl's room for no reason, what is it?"

"Are you also afraid of gossip?" Zhu Hua Yu tilted her head and looked at me coldly.

I sighed, "As long as it is a person, everyone is afraid."

"Since you are afraid, why were you bold in the beginning?" Zhu Hua Yu questioned me aggressively. Her tone made me a little unhappy. I have never bowed my head in front of any woman. Even a woman of national beauty and heavenly fragrance cannot shake the strong male spirit in my heart.

I hummed coldly and was too lazy to answer Zhu Hua Yu's questioning.

Zhu Hua Yu seemed to feel my unhappiness. She was silent for a while and said softly, "I don't have any other meaning, and I know you are difficult. But you have to know, I, Zhu Hua Yu, didn't ask for anything from you, including you. I know you won't belong to me, and I never had any extravagant hopes. I just thought, since you brought me back, I can understand not meeting, but you should at least give me a call so that I know where you are and feel at ease, right?"

I reached out to touch the cigarette. She saw it and stopped my hand. She took the cigarette case from the front of the windshield, pulled out a cigarette, lit it on her lips, and stuffed it to my lips, saying, "Smoke less, it's really bad for your health."

I turned my head and smiled at her, and she gave a shy smile in return.

"Hua Yu!" I called her earnestly, "Your task now is not to be sentimental, you have to clear your thoughts and go to the coastal areas to attract investment at any time."

Zhu Hua Yu acted like a spoiled child, "I won't!"

"It's not up to you!" I smiled lightly, "You are an arrow of mine now, the bow is fully drawn, can you still put it down?"

"I just won't!" Zhu Hua Yu said sadly, "I don't know how long I will be able to see you when I go this time. If I don't see you, I have no bottom in my heart. Don't talk about attracting investment, others will sell me and I won't know."

"Don't be afraid! As long as you go, you will have surprises!" I said, took a few puffs, threw the cigarette out of the car, closed the window, and prepared to go to the Suxi highway.

Zhu Hua Yu's little emotions disintegrated after my few words, and her bright face was filled with the brilliance of youth. She started to sing!

I suddenly appeared in front of Qian Youyu at the Suxi Hotel, scaring Qian Youyu to jump up from the chair.

"Stop!" I shouted.

Qian Youyu really wanted to slip away, but after being shouted at by me, he hesitated and stood still, smiling and asking me, "Why are you here?"

"Not welcome?" I asked with a smile.

"Welcome! Must welcome!" Qian Youyu said exaggeratedly, "Leader Chen is here, dare I not welcome?"

I heard the sourness in his words. In the past, as long as he saw me, he would call me "brother" affectionately. But today when he saw me, he called me Leader Chen!

"You go back first, wait for the phone notification." Qian Youyu waved his hand to let the people in his office leave.

After the people were gone, I asked him, "Who are these people?"

Qian Youyu smiled awkwardly, "Talking about cooperation."

"Cooperation? What cooperation? What good project do you have?" I asked strangely.

"Small things!" Qian Youyu laughed, "Let's ignore them. Leader Chen is here, I have to find some game to accompany you to drink."

I stopped him, "You don't have to be busy. I'll eat at Little Zhu's house, it's already agreed."

Zhu Hua Yu on the side hurriedly intervened, "Yes, yes, Boss Qian, my dad is waiting for Director Chen at home."

Qian Youyu stood still, scratched the back of his head and said, "Not even eating at my place?"

I laughed, "If I want to eat your meal, can't I eat it anytime? I came here today, not to eat."

"I know what you mean by coming here," Qian Youyu glanced at me secretly and said, "Don't blame me for not giving you face, this matter, she had better not get involved."

"Why?" I asked bluntly, "Do you have unspeakable difficulties?"

Qian Youyu looked at Zhu Hua Yu, wanting to say something but stopping.

I waved my hand, "Own people, it's okay. You just say it."

Qian Youyu opened his mouth several times, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

I understood that he would definitely not say a word in front of Zhu Hua Yu. So I asked Zhu Hua Yu to go out for a walk and call Pan Xiaoqin for me by the way.

After Zhu Hua Yu left, Qian Youyu's face turned pale and said, "Did you know it long ago?"

I nodded and said, "Lao Qian, you are doing this, it is very dangerous."

Qian Youyu sighed and said, "I have no choice. I have already reached a dead end and can't turn back."

"Heaven has no dead end!" I comforted him, "Lao Qian, if you still recognize me as a brother, you stop now and think of a way to handle the previous things."

Qian Youyu's eyes were wet, he looked around and said, "Can I still go back?"

"Of course you can go back!" I said, "You listen to me, okay?"

Qian Youyu nodded hesitantly, looked at me several times without believing, and smiled bitterly, "Actually, I have already prepared. Look, I let Xuelai go through the divorce procedures with me, and I also broke off the father-son relationship with my son. Now I, Qian Youyu, am a lonely person, death is death, and if I don't die, I will have another year!"

"This is not your personality!" I said, "Lao Qian, fortunately you haven't gone far. Tell me, how much have you collected?"

Qian Youyu extended a finger and shook it, "Still half short."

"Give it all back to me," I said decisively.

"Give it back?" Qian Youyu muttered, "If I give it back, what do I use to pay the interest, what do I use to pay the bank loan?"

"This is a bottomless pit!" I almost roared, "Tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, one day there will be no wall to tear down. By then, will you really go to die?"

"But if I don't pay the bank interest now, I have to die immediately."

"The bank's money will not force you to a dead end. You don't think about it, do they really dare to accuse you of fraud? Banks have their own risk prevention mechanisms. If their loans have problems, they can't push them all to the customers."

"They said, the principal can be slowed down, the interest must be paid on time. I have also thought about it. When I can't pay it back, it is when I go to report to the King of Hell," Qian Youyu said dejectedly.

"Don't worry about anything else. Stop the things in your hands first. This matter, if it is big, it is illegal fundraising, and you will lose your head. If it is small, it is also fraud, and it is no problem to sentence you to life imprisonment."

I saw Qian Youyu's body tremble a few times, then calmed down, and said indifferently, "I have to thank the leader for his kindness, I will handle it well."

Just as I was talking, Zhu Hua Yu and Pan Xiaoqin walked in together. Pan Xiaoqin first called brother, then stared at Qian Youyu and laughed gloatingly, "Boss Qian, are you afraid?" ===== CHAPTER 660 =====
