Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Going Home with You
Li Changhong smiled and said very conceitedly, "I'm not bragging. In Shu County, there is nothing I can't give you. No matter which house you like, which hilltop you want, or which store you like, I can bring it to you."
Shu Niannian's hand holding the spoon suddenly stopped. She looked at Li Changhong in disbelief and thought that Li Changhong was so bold!
Isn't it common practice for bribery to say half is kept and the other half is given as a test, with both parties giving and receiving the other half?
Do both parties leave room for themselves and each other to advance or retreat?
So red! bare! It's all laid out in the open. How big a reliance does Li Changhong have to dare to confront Ye Jinhong so blatantly at the dinner table?
When Li Changhong met Shu Niannian's gaze, he just nodded symbolically without dodging at all.
Ye Jinhong glanced at Li Changhong indifferently and said in a cold voice, "You probably don't know that I came to Shu County mainly to standardize the economic development regulations. You are blatantly offering bribes. Isn't this a slap in my face?"
Although Ye Jinhong had a faint smile on his face, he was actually very angry. However, Li Changhong did not care. "Since the reform and opening up, people have come down to investigate every year, but it is just a formality. They want us to honor them. In order to save our time, we'd better talk about this matter openly. I know you are a higher official than them. Don't worry, this is definitely what I will honor you with."
Li Changhong raised his thumb and gave a thumbs up.
Ye Jinhong laughed angrily.
Li Changhong continued, "Instead of trying again and again and finally having to rely on benefits to solve the problem, it would be better to put the benefits on the table from the beginning. What do you think, Captain Ye?"
Li Changhong and Li Zhiqiang's eyes fell on Ye Jinhong at the same time. Li Zhiqiang wanted to see how Ye Jinhong would react.
He has fallen in love with such a girl for so many years, but Shu Niannian rejected him and chose Ye Jinhong. When he learned that Li Changhong was going to invite Ye Jinhong to dinner, he followed her specially, just to see how the person Shu Niannian chose was better than him?
Seeing that Shu Niannian had almost finished eating, Ye Jinhong handed her a tissue to wipe her mouth. After taking good care of Shu Niannian, he looked at Li Changhong and his son quietly, "I don't know who the people who came before were, or what their main purpose was, but I came from Haicheng to clean up the economic development environment and try to prevent things like today from happening again in the future."
Hearing Ye Jinhong say this, Li Changhong sneered. He thought to himself, young people are too idealistic when looking at things. "Since you have reached this position, you should make a good profit. It will benefit you, me and everyone else. After all, this position cannot be held by one person forever. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever."
He just didn't believe that anyone could resist the temptation of greater unity.
Ye Jinhong pulled Shu Niannian to stand up and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hospitality today. If there is nothing else, we will leave first."
Li Changhong was stunned. After Ye Jinhong left, Li Zhiqiang looked at Li Changhong and said, "What should we do? He doesn't seem to be buying it."
Li Changhong snorted and laughed, "Don't worry, he's just trying to get more benefits. It's not a big deal! Wait a few days, I'll prepare some more hard goods and go to him. When he has gotten enough, the cooperation will be concluded naturally."
He has a lot of experience with this kind of thing.
Seeing that Li Changhong was full of confidence, Li Zhiqiang stopped asking questions. He was in a bad mood because his beloved girl chose another man.
Ye Jinhong sent Shu Niannian back to school. On the way, Shu Niannian couldn't help but ask Ye Jinhong, "Is Li Changhong so arrogant? He doesn't hide it at all. Isn't he just being a target?"
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Li Changhong's behavior cannot be said to be that of a bird sticking its head out. He is directly blocking the gun!
Ye Jinhong put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked beside Shu Niannian. "That's because he can no longer hide it. The machinery factory is the economic pillar of Shu County. Li Changhong is naturally within the scope of my investigation. Do you know how much assets he has?"
Shu Niannian blinked, "How much?"
"It's shocking to tell you this. In Shu County alone, Li Changhong has two three-story villas, three shops, and two hilltops. In addition, I just found out this morning that Li Changhong has a three-bedroom, one-living-room suite in Haicheng. These are only visible assets. We don't know how many invisible assets he has yet. Although Li Changhong has been the director of a machinery factory for ten years, his monthly salary plus bonus is only a few hundred yuan. Where do all these assets come from?"
Shu Niannian was stunned. "He actually made so much money? But the machinery factory is a state-owned enterprise. Every income and expenditure is recorded in the account. Moreover, every quarter, there will be an audit. How can Li Changhong still make money?"
Shu Niannian found it unbelievable. Ye Jinhong patted Shu Niannian's head gently and said earnestly, "So you see, it's just a small Shu County, but the economic loophole is already so big, let alone the entire Haicheng?"
Shu Niannian had never thought about these things. If she had not been dating Ye Jinhong in this life, she would never have been able to reach such a deep level.
"Then how do you plan to deal with Li Changhong? My father and my second brother are still working in the machinery factory."
Ye Jinhong pondered, "Li Changhong will not touch them. Li Changhong will probably come to me again. He has already made the matter known. Next, he will try every means to win me over until he drags me down with them."
Shu Niannian smiled, "Then he must have hit a wall this time."
Ye Jinhong, how could he accept bribes?
Since he was able to reach that position in his previous life, his political review must have passed, if nothing else.
When the two said goodbye at the school gate, Ye Jinhong whispered in Shu Niannian's ear, "I'll take you home tonight."
Shu Niannian shook her head. "No, just do your thing. My brother will come to pick me up."
Ye Jinhong looked at Shu Niannian steadily and coaxed her softly, "I'll have someone tell Wenhui to not come over tonight."
"Give me a chance. I want to walk with you for a while."
"Let me take you home."
