Li Xiuyuan looked at Wang Yonghua, who was complaining beside him. Li Xiuyuan knew what Wang Yonghua was thinking, but he wondered if he was being too nice to Wang Yonghua.
Originally, they were supposed to give Wang Yonghua a warning when they first met at the Xiaokang Hotel, but because Zhang Juncai came over and Wang Yonghua behaved well, this step was skipped.
It turns out that skipping any step really doesn't work.
The project had only been going on for less than a month, and they already dared to ask me for money.
“Mr. Wang, what you said makes a lot of sense. It’s not easy for the company to put up so much money.” Li Xiuyuan nodded in agreement as he looked at Wang Yonghua.
Wang Yonghua was secretly delighted; this meant Li Xiuyuan was going to give him the money.
"Yes, yes, Mayor Li really thinks of us. It's our good fortune to have a leader like you." Wang Yonghua's old face beamed with joy.
“Yes, we definitely need to consider your needs. The construction project in Meilin Village is a long-term project. After the initial phase is completed, there will be mid-to-late phases. We can’t let you keep paying upfront and bear such a heavy burden. So let’s settle the accounts for you. What do you think?” Li Xiuyuan said with a smile to Wang Yonghua.
"That's great, thank you so much," Wang Yonghua said with a smile.
“Okay, Director Lei, here’s what we’ll do. Now, prepare the people and money, and have Mr. Wang calculate the cost of the construction machinery that the village has verified.” Li Xiuyuan said directly.
At this point, Wang Yonghua sensed something was amiss. Li Xiuyuan wanted to settle accounts with him, but it didn't have to be today; tomorrow would have been fine too. Just as he was thinking this, he heard Lei Yi say something from the side.
"Mayor Li, the bank is almost closing time today, how about tomorrow..."
"What do you mean tomorrow? Talk to the bank today and tell them to work overtime if they're off work. Call their bank manager and tell them what I said: no matter what the reason, the money must be withdrawn tonight. Otherwise, the money for the project will not go through their bank in the future."
"I don't have the final say on the township's finances, but I do have the final say on the Meilin Village project. At the very least, the project funds won't go through their bank. The money must be withdrawn today, and by midnight tonight, no matter what you do, you must settle all the money for Mr. Wang's construction machinery."
Li Xiuyuan got angry, and Wang Yonghua finally realized something was wrong. Li Xiuyuan wasn't trying to settle the payment for him at all; he was trying to force him to withdraw and stop using his construction machinery.
“Li Zhen…I…” Wang Yonghua immediately became anxious, his forehead covered in sweat as he tried to explain to Li Xiuyuan, but Li Xiuyuan interrupted him as soon as he finished speaking.
"President Wang, don't worry, we definitely can't let you advance the funds. You've been here for almost twenty days. It's normal that you can't handle such a big project. Before, it was my oversight that made this decision."
Li Xiuyuan threw down a sentence, walked down the Blackwater River embankment, and headed towards the village brigade headquarters.
Wang Yonghua's face was almost in tears as he looked at Lei Yi: "Director Lei, I..."
"President Wang," Lei Yi sighed, looking utterly disappointed, "what can I say to you? Such a big project, with the county attaching so much importance to it, how could you be so short-sighted?"
"Director Lei, I...it was my fault, I'm so upset..." Wang Yonghua was already in a panic. If they paid him now, their machinery would probably be removed from the site tomorrow, and there would be no point in talking about contracts anymore.
So what if there's a contract? The contract was already quite broad at the time. Besides, even if the town government breached the contract, where can you sue them? The only thing Li Xiuyuan needs to do is explain himself to Hou Peng.
