Chapter 2995

In this bidding, the Huafu Real Estate Development Company had won two bid sections. If they turned around and subcontracted them, they could earn at least tens of millions, so Cheng Kaibin spoke with the air of someone wealthy and influential.

Zheng Wu-ping shook his head and said, "This money might not be accepted. Do you know that the Yantai Textile Group case that year was audited by this very accounting firm? The then-Governor Lu went to prison because of this case."

Only then did Cheng Kaibin's expression become solemn. He was, of course, aware of the Yantai Textile Group case that year. Governor Lu going to prison had actually benefited his father; his father entering the Standing Committee was thanks to that case.

If this accounting firm was the one that audited that case, then this matter was truly troublesome, because that accounting firm had been invited by Su Xinghui.

Cheng Kaibin gritted his teeth and said, "It's Su Xinghui again."

Zheng Wu-ping said, "Yes, this matter is related to Mayor Su again. Therefore, I estimate that accounting firm won't take the money."

Old Han nodded and said, "Old Zheng is right. This matter is a bit troublesome. I suspect they are targeting our Huafu."

Cheng Kaibin said, "What will be the consequences of this matter?"

Zheng Wu-ping said, "If they really audit some problems, a large group of people will be in trouble. Your bidding deposit will definitely be gone, and you won't be able to participate in bidding in the future. The bidding agency will have its agency qualification revoked and will have to pay compensation. I estimate I will also be out of a job. So, Young Master Cheng, you must find a way to settle this matter; the consequences are too serious."

Cheng Kaibin said, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Cheng Kaibin felt the seriousness of the situation. He didn't care about the life or death of the bidding agency or Zheng Wu-ping, but if their Huafu Company's bidding deposit was confiscated and they couldn't participate in bidding in the future, what would they rely on to make money?

Huafu Company's qualifications were not easily obtained; they had spent a great deal of effort to get them initially. If they suffered such a penalty, the loss would be truly significant.

Zheng Wu-ping said, "The only way now is to ask the old man to speak up."

The old man Zheng Wu-ping referred to was, of course, Cheng Kaibin's father, Cheng Huangong. If Xin Jing and Su Xinghui wanted to deal with him, it would be too easy. But now, no leader in Baozhou dared to provoke Su Xinghui. After thinking it over, he felt only Cheng Huangong could step in to settle this.

Cheng Kaibin frowned and said, "It wouldn't be good to disturb the old man with this, would it?"

Cheng Kaibin was usually somewhat afraid of his father; his father was always very stern in front of him.

Zheng Wu-ping said, "If the old man doesn't speak up, this matter will be hard to settle."

Old Han also nodded and said, "Yes, the only way now is to let the old man speak up."

Cheng Kaibin hesitated for a long time, then nodded and said, "Fine, then I'll call my dad."

Although Cheng Huangong was always very stern in front of Cheng Kaibin, he was, after all, Cheng Kaibin's father. Moreover, Huafu Company was very important to Cheng Huangong; it was the Cheng family's most important source of wealth. So, if he knew about this, he would have to speak up.

Cheng Kaibin went into a small room inside, closed the door, and made the call. This small room was a place where guests could go to handle business when they were having fun with the hostesses, so the soundproofing was excellent, making it perfect for a phone call. He couldn't let others hear him talking to his father.

When Cheng Kaibin's call went through, Cheng Huangong was in a room at the provincial government guesthouse, lying comfortably on a bed while Ling Shanshan massaged him.

Cheng Huangong had just had a round with Ling Shanshan. Although he was physically robust, he was over fifty, so the frenzy just now had left him somewhat tired, and he needed Ling Shanshan to massage him to recover.

Ling Shanshan was only draped in a bath towel. She lay on Cheng Huangong, massaging him diligently, which made Cheng Huangong hum with comfort. His hands were not behaving, stroking Ling Shanshan's body, which made her giggle.

Just then, Cheng Huangong's mobile phone rang. Only his family knew the number, so as soon as Cheng Huangong heard it, he knew it must be from his family.

Ling Shanshan obediently took the phone from the table, handed it to Cheng Huangong, and continued to massage him silently.

Cheng Huangong sat up to answer the phone because he couldn't talk properly while lying down. Ling Shanshan also changed her position, sitting cross-legged behind Cheng Huangong, massaging the tense muscles on his shoulders and back.

Cheng Huangong said, "Kaibin, what do you need me for?"

Upon hearing the name Kaibin, Ling Shanshan's expression changed instantly. Fortunately, she was behind Cheng Huangong, so he couldn't see her expression.

Ling Shanshan had not told Cheng Huangong about the day Cheng Kaibin got her drunk and tried to rape her.

Although Cheng Huangong doted on her very much now, Ling Shanshan knew it was better not to tell him such things. After all, she had no status, and as the saying goes, "blood is thicker than water." Cheng Kaibin was, after all, Cheng Huangong's son. It would be absolutely unwise for her to speak ill of Cheng Kaibin in front of Cheng Huangong.

Several days had passed since that day, but Ling Shanshan still felt very uncomfortable whenever she heard Cheng Kaibin's name.

Ling Shanshan was very troubled now; she didn't know how to continue her path forward.

Ling Shanshan had climbed the big tree that was Cheng Huangong, and it could be said that she could basically have whatever she wanted in Yantai Province from now on. However, she was still unhappy; she had originally thought she would be happy.

Although Cheng Huangong doted on her, it was only because it was still fresh. Once he got tired of her, he might discard Ling Shanshan like a worn-out shoe. Moreover, this was always an immoral relationship.

Among all this, the matter with Cheng Kaibin also stimulated Ling Shanshan, making her feel disgusted. She had a deep hatred for both father and son of the Cheng family.

Of course, she also had a deep hatred for herself; she hated herself for being so vain and becoming Cheng Huangong's mistress.

Ling Shanshan was considered a cultured woman with aspirations. She had never imagined she would become like this. In her youth, she once fantasized about true love, but now, everything was ruined.

Thinking of this, Ling Shanshan gritted her teeth at Wen Juncheng; it was this bastard who ruined her whole life.

Ling Shanshan, who was gritting her teeth, suddenly heard the name "Su Xinghui" on the phone. She immediately pricked up her ears and listened carefully, but her hands didn't stop moving; Ling Shanshan was very attentive to such details.

Since Ling Shanshan was sitting behind Cheng Huangong, very close to the phone, she could hear Cheng Kaibin's voice on the other end.

Thus, Ling Shanshan heard the details of the matter. Su Xinghui's blow to Cheng Kaibin made Ling Shanshan very happy, but she also heard Cheng Kaibin gritting his teeth at Su Xinghui, which made her very worried for Su Xinghui again.

Cheng Huangong listened to the phone with an expressionless face, occasionally saying "Hmm." After Cheng Kaibin finished speaking, Cheng Huangong said, "Alright, I know. I will look into this matter. Don't act rashly. I will settle that account with him sooner or later."

Listening to Cheng Huangong's murderous words, Ling Shanshan became even more worried. Although she knew Su Xinghui's background was also quite strong, Cheng Huangong was, after all, a Standing Committee member and Vice Governor, and his background was equally deep.

Cheng Huangong hung up the phone and lay down comfortably again. He was very satisfied with Ling Shanshan's massage; her technique was quite professional. After massaging for a while, Cheng Huangong felt much less tired.
