~3 min read 491 words

Chen Changqiao stopped, turned around, and smiled, "County Magistrate Su, this is just a small gesture. I don't mean anything else, I just want to make friends with you."

Su Xinghui said, "I do have many friends, and I do like making friends, but I don't like this way of making friends. So, please take this envelope away, otherwise, we will never have a chance to be friends in the future."

Chen Changqiao had been running a factory for so many years and had seen many hypocritical people. Therefore, he thought Su Xinghui was also that kind of hypocritical person. He smiled and said, "County Magistrate Su, don't worry, this is a cash check. If you withdraw the money, no one will know it was you, and no traces will be left, so you don't have to worry about anyone else knowing."

Su Xinghui's voice was decisive: "Boss Chen, if you don't take it away, after you go out, I will take this check to the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Chen Changqiao was stunned. From Su Xinghui's voice, he could certainly hear the determination. He knew that Su Xinghui was for real.

But precisely because Su Xinghui was for real, it made Chen Changqiao hate him even more. He didn't think Su Xinghui was a truly clean cadre. In his view, there were no truly clean cadres. Besides, he saw Su Xinghui driving a Mercedes-Benz that day, so how could he be clean?

He felt that Su Xinghui was making things difficult for him because there must be some reason he didn't know yet.

His chemical plant cost a lot, and so far, he hadn't recovered the investment. The chemical plant was profitable, but the investment was not small. In recent years, he had spent a lot to smooth things over with the cadres in Chongjin County. Originally, he would have been able to recover the investment in another year or two, and the rest would all be his profit. But now, it seemed that this goal would be very difficult to achieve.

It was basically impossible to pass the environmental inspection. His small factory couldn't afford such a huge investment, so it was basically impossible for him to resume production. Wasn't this forcing him into a dead end?

Chen Changqiao was at a loss for a moment. After a long time, he walked back to the tea table, picked up the envelope, and put it back in his bag. He asked, "County Magistrate Su, what exactly do you want?"

Su Xinghui said, "I don't want anything. I just want you to do a good job in environmental protection and labor protection. Such enterprises are the ones we welcome in Chongjin County. I hope Boss Chen, while making money, will not forget the social responsibilities that an enterprise should undertake."

Chen Changqiao said nothing. He turned and walked out, but Su Xinghui didn't see the bone-deep hatred that flashed in his eyes.
