Chapter 4272

He Fusheng believed that Su Xinghui definitely knew what he was talking about; since he said it could be done within the week, it would definitely be done.

Vice Mayor Wang said, "Old He, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this project is too important. It has a huge impact on the reconstruction projects for our city and your county in the next phase. Is there really a solid foundation for this? Is that friend you mentioned reliable?"

Vice Mayor Wang had only been transferred to their city last year. He did not participate in the rescue and disaster relief during the big earthquake, so he did not know Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi, and did not know that the friend He Fusheng mentioned was Su Xinghui. Therefore, it was very normal for him to have such concerns.

Of course, He Fusheng could not let Vice Mayor Wang look down on Su Xinghui, but he also did not want to reveal Su Xinghui's name. He said, "Vice Mayor Wang, please rest assured. My friend has a lot of influence in the capital. He guaranteed to me that there would definitely be progress on this matter within this week. If there is no progress this week, I will take full responsibility."

Vice Mayor Wang smiled and patted He Fusheng on the shoulder, saying, "Old He, it's not that I don't believe you, but there are always accidents in everything. Don't speak so definitively. Even if the project doesn't go that smoothly this time, of course, I won't let you take full responsibility."

He Fusheng said solemnly, "Since I took this matter on, I dare to sign this military order."

Vice Mayor Wang said, "Old He, let's not sign any military orders. I didn't expect this project to be so hard to run either. Even if it doesn't work out, it's not your responsibility alone. But we must have some preparations. In case there is no progress this week, we have to think of other ways."

He Fusheng said, "What other ways can we think of? We can't afford that three hundred thousand."

Vice Mayor Wang said, "Actually, I have also inquired. Our project funding this time is over ten million; paying three hundred thousand is also normal market practice. Besides, we have made a friend like Division Chief Xiong, which is also good for us to run projects in the future. Our reconstruction will continue for many years; having such a friend has a hundred benefits and no harm!"

He Fusheng naturally knew Vice Mayor Wang's intentions. Paying this three hundred thousand would all be public funds, which would not cost Vice Mayor Wang a penny, but it would allow him to establish a connection with Division Chief Xiong, and even that Minister Wu. This was what Vice Mayor Wang valued most.

However, He Fusheng certainly could not let Vice Mayor Wang do this. Vice Mayor Wang might not care about this three hundred thousand, but he could not afford not to care.

He Fusheng then took out his mobile phone and said, "I will call my friend immediately to ask."

He was just about to dial, but his phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, he said with a somewhat strange expression, "Vice Mayor Wang, it's a call from Deputy Division Chief Zhang."

Volume Seven: Lin Mountain_Chapter 2006: Need to Thank Him

Deputy Division Chief Zhang was the deputy to their Division Chief Xiong. Deputy Division Chief Zhang was also a key figure in their efforts to secure funding for this project. However, without Division Chief Xiong speaking up, Deputy Division Chief Zhang naturally never expressed any stance; he was a very cautious person.

Now, Deputy Division Chief Zhang had actually taken the initiative to call He Fusheng. This was good news.

Vice Mayor Wang hurriedly signaled He Fusheng to answer the phone, and he listened with bated breath from the side.

He Fusheng answered the phone and took the initiative to press the speaker button, saying, "Division Chief Zhang, hello!"

Deputy Division Chief Zhang's tone was very polite: "Secretary He, hello!"

He Fusheng said, "Is there anything you need by calling today?"

Deputy Division Chief Zhang said, "It's like this: your project has been approved. Come over tomorrow and pick up the stamped approval document."

He Fusheng was overjoyed and said, "Division Chief Zhang, are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you?"

He Fusheng's words were actually a bit impolite, but Deputy Division Chief Zhang did not take offense at all. He said in a very polite tone, "Secretary He, how could I lie to you? You'll know when you come over tomorrow. Alright, I have other things to do, so I won't talk to you anymore. I'm hanging up now."

Vice Mayor Wang was also overjoyed. He kept gesturing to He Fusheng, and He Fusheng understood and said, "Division Chief Zhang, please don't hang up yet. Do you have time tonight? Let's have a meal together and call Division Chief Xiong as well."

Deputy Division Chief Zhang said, "Secretary He, don't be so polite. We won't have that meal. As for Division Chief Xiong, he might not be able to eat with you in the future. Alright, I'm hanging up now. Remember to come over tomorrow."

Deputy Division Chief Zhang hung up the phone. He Fusheng and Vice Mayor Wang were both lost in a fog, completely confused. Why was Deputy Division Chief Zhang suddenly so humble and polite?

Vice Mayor Wang said, "What did that sentence Deputy Division Chief Zhang just say mean? Why won't Division Chief Xiong be able to eat with us in the future?"

He Fusheng also shook his head in confusion.

Vice Mayor Wang said, "Hurry up and find out."

He Fusheng then started making calls to inquire. During this period, they had indeed gotten to know some people at the Development and Reform Commission in order to run this project.

As soon as these people heard He Fusheng asking about Division Chief Xiong, they hemmed and hawed, avoided the topic, and hung up the phone after laughing it off without saying much.

When He Fusheng and Vice Mayor Wang heard the attitude of these people, they were even more suspicious. Could it be that something happened to Division Chief Xiong?

In the end, He Fusheng found out the truth from a friend. It turned out that just this morning, Division Chief Xiong had been placed under "shuanggui" (investigation).

Upon hearing this result, He Fusheng and Vice Mayor Wang found it even more unbelievable. A look of horror appeared in Vice Mayor Wang's eyes.

He Fusheng said the project would have progress this week, and Vice Mayor Wang didn't believe it at first. But who would have thought that the project funding was indeed settled? And that wasn't all; even Division Chief Xiong had actually been placed under "shuanggui." What kind of concept was this?

Division Chief Xiong was a powerful division chief at the Development and Reform Commission, not to mention that a Minister Wu stood behind him, and behind Minister Wu was a red family. Could such a person be placed under "shuanggui" just like that?

Could this matter have been done by that friend of He Fusheng's?

This chapter is not finished, please turn the page.

If this were true, it would be truly terrifying.

What kind of background did that friend of He Fusheng's have?

A smile quickly spread across Vice Mayor Wang's face. He said to He Fusheng, "Old He, you deserve the greatest credit for securing the project funding this time! After we go back, I will definitely have the municipal government hold a celebration banquet for you!"

He Fusheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Vice Mayor Wang, there's no need for any celebration banquet. As long as the project funding is secured, I am already very satisfied. By the way, Vice Mayor Wang, now that Division Chief Xiong has been placed under 'shuanggui,' I estimate there won't be any problems with future project funding."

The reconstruction funds for the disaster area allocated by the state were at least hundreds of millions every year, so they would often come to the capital to run for project funding in the future. Now that this Division Chief Xiong had been taken down, it would surely be much easier to run for project funding in the future.

Vice Mayor Wang also thought of this level, and he nodded happily, "Yes, Old He, you are right. I estimate there won't be any problems with future project funding."

He Fusheng said, "As long as there are no problems with the project funding, our reconstruction progress will definitely get faster and faster. Just thinking about our new county town makes me happy."
