Meanwhile, Chen Dahuang finally got through on the phone and said, "Brother Zhang, you finally answered! What's going on? Why did the Qinglin Police Station suddenly come to my place for a surprise inspection?"
“I’ve been getting harassing phone calls just now. I’ve asked about it. The Qinglin Police Station said someone reported that an A-level wanted criminal was hiding in your bathhouse, so they sent officers out. It was a misunderstanding, but things have gotten complicated. How could your place allow people who snort flour?”
Chen Dahuang immediately assured him, "I really don't know anything about this. Someone must be framing me. Brother Zhang, I assure you, I have absolutely never been involved in anything related to flour."
"Alright, alright, let's talk about it after their investigation is over. Your place will be temporarily closed for rectification. That's all, don't keep calling me, it's not a good thing!"
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
"Oh shit!"
Chen Dahuang gritted his teeth in anger, cursing, "What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? Why didn't you tell me not to call when you were playing around with the technicians in my place? Damn it!"
The Oriental Bathhouse has been shut down and is temporarily closed.
All the female technicians involved have been arrested; those who should be detained have been detained, and those who should be fined have been fined.
Moreover, as the boss, Chen Dahuang was also summoned for questioning regarding the flour-sucking incident. Fortunately, he wasn't involved and wouldn't be imprisoned.
But if the bathhouse can't open, his reputation will be ruined, and after this investigation, who will dare to come and spend money in the future?
Afterwards, it is said that Chen Dahuang wanted to speak on his behalf to the director of Qinglin Police Station, so he specially prepared fine tea and red envelopes, but the director refused to see him at all.
Tang Ping returned to the branch office dormitory that night. Hu Xiandong and the others had not committed any crimes, let alone participated in prostitution, so they were also released.
Old Sheng also drove over.
This time, Lao Sheng's help was indispensable in dealing with Chen Dahuang's bathhouse. Tang Ping led people in to cause trouble, while Lao Sheng was responsible for assisting from the outside. The deputy director's phone was unreachable because Lao Sheng kept the line busy, not giving Chen Dahuang a chance to remedy the situation in time.
Sitting in his office, sipping tea, Tang Ping chuckled, "Well done, Lao Sheng. You arranged those two drug addicts, didn't you?"
Old Sheng said, "How could I have such an ability? They were drug addicts to begin with. I just spent a little money to get someone to persuade them to go to the Oriental Bathhouse. Chen Dahuang's place is not clean to begin with, it's very chaotic, and there are girls who come for free, so why wouldn't they want to go?"
"You think Chen Dahuang's bathhouse is finished this time?" Hu Xiandong asked from the side.
Old Sheng shook his head and said, "It's not over yet. It'll probably just be a temporary shutdown for ten days to half a month. Chen Dahuang has very strong connections in Jianning. But this alone will be enough to make him suffer for a while."
"Only ten days or half a month? Is the punishment that lenient?"
"Of course, that's how it is in small counties. It's all about connections. Do you think this is Jinghai? Hehe, but with the bathhouse shut down, Chen Dahuang can't really exert any influence for the time being. So, we'll have a better chance of winning the bid against Chen Dacai next."
Old Sheng said.
Tang Ping sensed something was wrong, stared at Lao Sheng, and asked, "Do you have a grudge against him? You old fox, you're not using us to help you get revenge, are you?"
"There is a bit of personal grudge, but it's not about taking advantage of each other."
Old Sheng was a little embarrassed and said, "When I first came back from Jinghai to do timber business, Chen Dacai took a batch of timber raw materials from me, worth over 100,000 yuan, but the debt has been outstanding. When I went to ask for it back, Chen Dahuang and his men kicked me out, and the money became a bad debt. I haven't seen a single penny of it to this day."
"So that's why you were so eager to help me—you were actually looking for revenge for yourself," Tang Ping suddenly realized.
Old Sheng is indeed very cunning.
He appears righteous on the surface, but he is actually taking advantage of me. He has a grudge against Chen Dacai, which is why he was so enthusiastic in helping me in Chenjia Village that day.
Of course, this is only one aspect.
"Well, it's mutually beneficial, a win-win situation. If Mr. Tang is still upset, I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine as an apology!"
As Lao Sheng spoke, he picked up his teacup.
"Damn it, give me a break! You think a cup of tea will settle things? You'd better treat my brothers to a meal tomorrow at the very least!" Tang Ping glared at him.
"No problem. Come to my place tomorrow, I'll have two pigs slaughtered and we'll have a whole pig feast, plus some lamb chops!"
"That's more like it."
Setting up a branch office was easy. With the support of Jinghai Construction Company and the added appeal of collaborating with Shanshui Group on the old street project, the bid was immediately taken seriously.
The director in charge of the bidding was surnamed Wang, and he even called Tang Ping personally to ask if it was the construction company from Jinghai.
After receiving Tang Ping's affirmative answer, the other party stated that they would guarantee the bidding process would be fair, just, and transparent, and would never engage in favoritism or fraud.
Chen Shuting left Bai Xiaochen at home and also came to Jianning County.
She needs to be involved in the bidding process.
This is the most important step in bringing down the Chen family, this evil clan, and she must take action herself.
In fact, the bidding for this project in Jianning County was originally very popular.
Once the project tender was announced, many construction companies rushed to submit bids. However, after half a month, Chen Dacai persuaded several companies to withdraw and threatened several others to leave. In the end, even the few remaining capable companies were unable to compete with them.
But unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere.
This gave Chen Dacai a real headache.
Tomorrow is the day of the bidding, so tonight, Chen Dacai made a special trip home to ask his older brother for advice.
Unexpectedly, Chen Dahuang also returned.
The bathhouse was closed for rectification, so he had nothing to do and had to come back.
The three Chen brothers finally managed to get together and prepared a large table of delicious dishes.
During the drinking session, Chen Dacai spoke first, saying, "Brother, things haven't been going well lately. Is there something wrong with the feng shui of our family's ancestral graves? How about we go to the graves to pay respects to our ancestors tomorrow?"
"Wasn't your bidding going well? What happened?" Chen Dafa put down his chopsticks and asked.
Chen Dacai took a sip of baijiu, grinned, and said, "Damn it, who knew that some Tang Group construction company would suddenly appear out of nowhere? I heard they're from Jinghai, and they've even worked with the Shanshui Group from Handong Province before. Suddenly they want to participate in the bidding. I have a bad feeling about this!"
"From Jinghai? Damn, isn't the leader of the other side named Tang Ping?" Chen Dahuang hadn't paid much attention at first, but as he listened, something was definitely wrong, so he quickly asked.
"What's going on, third brother? You ran into this too?"
Chen Dahuang stared wide-eyed and said, "Damn it, my bathhouse was shut down last night, and it was this bastard who caused trouble."
