The company has over 300,000 yuan in cash, and I have over 100,000 yuan in cash at home, totaling 500,000 yuan, which I can withdraw at any time.
Li Xiuyuan was taken aback by Wang Yonghua's words and didn't immediately understand what Wang Yonghua meant.
But Wang Yonghua immediately added, "Li Zhen, if the money isn't enough, I can make more. If you need any help with bribing connections or smoothing things over, just ask. I can't help with other things, but I still have the money."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan finally understood what Wang Yonghua meant. He then looked at Wang Yonghua and asked, "President Wang, although the second phase of the project has a budget of six million, the profit margin is not very high."
When it comes to your share, it'll be even less. You might not even earn 500,000 after completing this project. What are you hoping to gain by taking out 500,000?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yonghua shook his head: "Li Zhen, I will remember your kindness in thinking of me and being willing to take me under your wing. I will follow you from now on. It doesn't matter whether this project makes money or not. Even if we lose money, I am willing to work with you."
Looking into Wang Yonghua's eyes, Li Xiuyuan sensed the sincerity and passion in them. He believed that Wang Yonghua was thinking the same thing and speaking with genuine sincerity.
Li Xiuyuan handed Wang Yonghua a cigarette. After Wang Yonghua lit it for him, Li Xiuyuan took a deep drag, slowly exhaled the smoke, and looked at Wang Yonghua, saying, "Yonghua, sometimes money can't solve things. The deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, who is in charge of personnel, can't be supported by money alone."
"Moreover, we can't do things this way. We're trying to be fair and just, but if we have to use money to smooth things over, what's the point of fairness and justice? It also gives others something to hold against us."
“But, Li Zhen…” Wang Yonghua was about to say something more.
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand to interrupt: "Yonghua, I understand your intentions. Don't worry, I'll call you if needed. I'll handle this matter."
Wang Yonghua nodded: "Okay, Li Zhen, I'll do whatever you say."
"Okay, go back and rest early. I'm here." Li Xiuyuan got up and saw Wang Yonghua to the door. Watching Wang Yonghua drive away and disappear into the night, the gentle expression on Li Xiuyuan's face vanished without a trace.
Li Xiuyuan hadn't expected that Deputy Director Chang would personally step in to smooth things over for Zheng Qian's shell company.
However, things have already come to this point, so whether we kick Wang Yonghua out or not doesn't really matter much. On the contrary, keeping Wang Yonghua would be much more useful.
Of course, the reason why Li Xiuyuan kept Wang Yonghua around was definitely not because of the good quality of his engineering work, as Li Xiuyuan and Wang Yonghua said.
It was for Hou Peng's sake. Hou Peng had gone back on his word this time. He had promised so readily, but at the last minute, he betrayed Li Xiuyuan without even saying goodbye. Li Xiuyuan could understand, but he would not forgive.
Li Xiuyuan certainly wouldn't believe that Wang Yonghua had no dirt on Hou Peng after all these years together.
However, he could tell that even though Wang Yonghua had been kicked away by Hou Peng, he was unwilling to use those things to threaten others, since using many of them would lead to a lose-lose situation.
Li Xiuyuan certainly wouldn't ask Wang Yonghua to hand over the evidence right away; that's unrealistic. However, he could use this incident to win Wang Yonghua over.
