Minister Xu was completely dumbfounded.
What do you mean I'm playing you?
I don't understand what you, Wu Changfeng, are saying.
Minister Xu asked, "How did I mess with you?"
Wu Changfeng said angrily, "My title is to oversee the overall situation, right? Since I came in, nobody has listened to me at all."
"Not only do you not listen to me, but you also cause me trouble."
"I don't know if it's because I'm incompetent, or if Minister Xu is just losing face?"
This remark made Minister Xu blush with embarrassment.
Is it true that Wu Changfeng is incompetent?
The Jiulin Company, which even the expert team couldn't solve, was resolved by Wu Changfeng.
Who dares to say they lack ability?
So that means I'm losing face?
As a high-ranking official at the ministerial level, who would dare to disrespect me?
But that's where the problem arises.
Wu Changfeng did not receive the respect he deserved.
That's really weird!
Wu Changfeng continued, "Actually, I don't necessarily want any payment; I'm just trying to save face for you, Minister Xu!"
Minister Xu listened to this inverted sentence.
It just sounds so awkward.
How did it become a matter of my pride?
This is……
Two lines of tears flowed silently.
Minister Xu was a little embarrassed: "Alright, alright, do whatever you want."
Wu Changfeng chuckled: "With your words, everything is settled."
Hang up the phone.
Wu Changfeng walked back with his head held high.
"I've already made the call, and you understand Minister Xu's meaning. Should I ask for compensation?"
Lu Botao nodded mechanically: "Just don't go too far."
Am I that kind of person?
Wu Changfeng rubbed his hands together and said, "I heard that the second phase of the project is about to start."
"You're still interested in this?" Lü Botao frowned. "The country attaches great importance to this project; it's even larger than the Hunshui Power Plant."
"Unqualified companies cannot undertake this project. May I ask what kind of company you are?"
Wu Changfeng thought for a moment: "The home appliance industry."
This time it was Lü Botao's turn to laugh: "Then I'm sorry, you don't meet our requirements."
"Who said..." Wu Changfeng smiled broadly, "that I'm the one who's going to do it?"
"Um?"
“In your tender documents, there’s a place called Chishui County’s First Machinery Processing Plant. You can decide what to do with it.”
"Chishui County? A township enterprise? Impossible! Even starting out requires a municipal-level local enterprise!"
"Then I'll have a good talk with them at Jiulin Company later."
"Stop right there!" Lü Botao gritted his teeth. "I give up, okay? I'll see how the allocation goes."
"What I want is fairness!"
Wu Changfeng continued, "Don't underestimate this township enterprise; this processing plant has undertaken national projects before."
"A national mission, a township enterprise? That's laughable."
"Take good care of your teeth, it's good for you."
"Then I'll have to take a closer look at this company."
Wu Changfeng smiled but didn't say anything.
A moment of silence.
Wu Changfeng continued, "I seem to have forgotten something. You need to provide sufficient electricity for the Cangxi Iron Mine. This is your responsibility."
"Don't let people point their fingers at you and yell at you!"
Lu Botao glared angrily: "You—"
"What do you mean, 'you'? Your reputation isn't good. You know perfectly well how many companies you've cut off electricity to."
Wu Changfeng continued, "Will you be able to sleep peacefully at night?"
Lu Botao thought, "You, Wu Changfeng, aren't part of the system, so what right do you have to tell me what to do about the electricity I allocate?"
That's a bit too much!
Lu Botao concluded, "Is there nothing else?"
"You think I'm greedy?" Wu Changfeng said calmly, "I just want to teach you a lesson. Don't look down on people, especially those sent down from above!"
“I can disregard my pride, but Minister Xu… hehe.”
"Who can guarantee he won't get promoted? Don't offend people carelessly in your own little world."
"You never know what tricks someone has up their sleeve for you."
"Be humble."
Wu Changfeng patted Lü Botao on the shoulder.
Lu Botao's face turned as red as a pig's liver.
It's clear they're still not convinced.
"Hehe." Wu Chang continued, "I have a piece of advice for you: don't lick boots, or you'll end up with nothing."
"You wiped out my hard work with just a few words from Jiulin Company. I'm just letting you learn your lesson."
Lü Botao remained silent.
Indeed, I got too excited and ruined most of Wu Changfeng's achievements with just one sentence.
Those compensations...
It might not be a small amount at all.
In Lü Botao's eyes, being able to repair the rotor without the government paying for it is like burning incense and praying to Buddha.
If it can be replaced with a new one for free, that would be even more desirable.
As for compensation?
I acted on impulse at the time.
They were so excited that they not only ignored it but also exempted me from the punishment!
I really regret it!
Now look at Wu Changfeng's back view.
Instead, it felt more sophisticated and high-class.
Their strength is undeniable, although the details of their negotiations with Jiulin Company are unknown.
But the result was fantastic.
Lü Botao sighed inwardly: I am ashamed of myself!
...
After resolving Lü Botao's matter, Wu Changfeng immediately instructed Jiulin Company to expedite the shipment.
Kazuo Karasawa stated: Absolutely!
Shipping by sea is quite fast; it will arrive at the Muddy Waters Power Plant in about a week and be installed.
The expert panel was surprised:
Does Wu Changfeng know magic?
