Chapter 230: Two Cups of Poison, Pick One



Finally, Xiao Yao could only tell Mr. He that he would go back and discuss it.

Finally, he raised his glass as a token of his gratitude to Mr. He for notifying him tonight.

He turned away with a pale face. On the table behind him, the pot of fragrant hotpot rabbit was shining with red oil.

The car drove directly back to the family compound. The two of them went upstairs in silence and closed the door. Huo Qianli quietly made a cup of tea and placed it in front of Xiao Yao. He sat on the sofa and said in a gentle voice, "As I said before, if something cannot be done, find another way. Don't dwell on useless regrets."

After hearing this, Xiao Yao silently lit a cigarette, collapsed on the sofa exhaustedly, turned his head to look at Huo Qianli, then sat up again and said excitedly: "Old Huo, I just can't accept it! We just want to do something, why is it so difficult? Don't those people really care about the people's livelihood?"

Huo Qianli knew that Xiao Yao was not talking about these business owners, but the person or people behind Tan Baoming.

He understood the motives of those people, but sometimes he couldn't figure out their psychology. Was it really that serious? Huo Qianli was in Qianfu Town, he just wanted to do his job well, he didn't want to cause trouble to anyone!

Moreover, he has always done things based on the idea of mutual benefit and win-win. As long as it is not illegal, everyone can cooperate. In the past, so many people in Hushan Village and Qianfu Town turned hostility into friendship with him. Why must he do something so harmful to others and not beneficial to himself?

What good will it do for them if the Hushan Village Industrial Park is ruined and Huo Qianli is unable to achieve results!

So, he pursed his lips and said, "Perhaps for them, the calculations in their hearts are the most important."

He looked at Xiao Yao, "What are the conditions proposed by the other party?"

After Xiao Yao finished speaking, Huo Qianli scratched his head and said, "Why don't you give me a cigarette too?"

Xiao Yao looked at him, "Really?"

"I'm just kidding." Huo Qianli let out a long sigh, "Let's have a meeting tomorrow to discuss how to deal with the aftermath."

Although Xiao Yao had been preparing himself mentally along the way, he still hesitated when faced with the decision. "Old Huo, how about we compromise first?"

Huo Qianli looked at him, and Xiao Yao explained: "To put it nicely, it's four companies, but to put it another way, the number of companies in the industrial park has suddenly decreased by one third!"

Four and one third, the same thing, different descriptions, that will result in completely different effects.

At this time, Xiao Yao had to succumb to reality, because if such a situation really happened, it would likely cast a huge shadow on the future of many of them.

Simply put, the reality is that when there are two cups of poison in front of you, you have to choose which one to drink.

Huo Qianli certainly knew the seriousness of the problem, but he still insisted: "The other party is determined to poach us, and this will obviously undermine the development of our industrial park. Since they want to leave, let them go, and we will find a way to replace them."

"What if they are asking for an exorbitant price and wait for us to pay them back when we land?"

"We can only afford three or five dollars, and they want one thousand. How can we reach an agreement?"

"It took Hushan Village five years to introduce twelve companies. How can we find one in two months?"

"Everything depends on human efforts!" Huo Qianli sighed. "We were caught off guard this time, but we really can't compromise. After the meeting tomorrow, I will go to the county and report to Secretary Haoran and County Magistrate Sun to gain more support!"

Xiao Yao looked at Huo Qianli's determined expression and had no choice but to nod.

After seeing Xiao Yao off, Huo Qianli closed the door, sat quietly on the sofa, picked up his cell phone, and wanted to dial out several times, but finally put it down and let out a sigh in the night.

......

The next day, Sunday.

Huo Qianli once again convened an emergency meeting. As was the case before, not all members attended this time, but the main leaders were present.

At the meeting, Huo Qianli threw out the news he received last night and announced his decision. It was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone at the meeting.

The departure of Xingzhong Pharmaceutical Company was already hard to accept, and now four of them are leaving at once, who can bear it?

But Huo Qianli's attitude was clear, Xiao Yao also stood firmly on his side, and Cao Qingfeng did not express any opposition after a long silence, so the matter was settled for the time being.

The meeting had just ended when Cao Qingfeng found Huo Qianli, "Secretary Huo..."

Huo Qianli said, "Comrade Qingfeng, I will go to the county first to report to Secretary Guo and County Magistrate Sun. I will communicate with you as soon as I come back to make the final decision. Before that, please implement the decision of the meeting, okay?"

Cao Qingfeng looked at Huo Qianli's tired expression and dark circles under his eyes, and nodded.

The car sped along the road. Huo Qianli sat in the back seat with a notebook spread out on his knees. He held a pen in his hand and quickly sketched his ideas on the paper.

If you want to make a report, you must be fully prepared, consider the various questions that the leader may ask, and provide well-reasoned arguments for each point to support your decision.

A phone call interrupted his thoughts. Huo Qianli took out his cell phone and looked at it, his brows immediately frowned.

"Hello, Secretary Guo."

"Comrade Qianli, how could this happen?"

"Secretary Guo, I'm on my way to Dongjiang County now." Huo Qianli turned his head and glanced out the window. "It will take about half an hour to get there."

Guo Haoran was silent for a few seconds, "Okay, then come directly to the office."

The driver remained silent and quietly stepped on the accelerator.
