Wu Changfeng had an impulse to go up and give President Li a good beating.
This is outrageous!
You've already accepted the goods, why are you still making excuses?
The head office must have already sent the money.
Wu Changfeng looked at President Li, wondering if this guy had too big an appetite.
Are you still full?
Wu Changfeng said, "President Li, is the money really on its way? Or is there something I haven't done well enough? Please speak freely."
"I'll get everything I can do done for you."
President Li sipped his tea: "I've already told you the truth. Would I hold you hostage? It's not worth it."
Wu Changfeng squinted: "Then I'll urge them on your behalf?"
"What do you mean?" President Li asked sternly.
"Of course, we should call the provincial head office to ask whether the money has been disbursed, when it was disbursed, and why it hasn't arrived yet."
Wu Changfeng continued, "Since President Li doesn't care, I naturally have to take it to heart."
President Li snorted: "Sure, you can ask me. I didn't receive it, so I didn't receive it."
"And what's the point of asking? I'm still the one who gives you the loan, aren't I?"
This is already a threat.
The implication was clear: even if the money arrives, it's me who will lend it to you.
Those who know what's good for them should go home and wait.
Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble, Wu Changfeng! We'll strangle you!
Don't expect to get your money back for at least a year or two!
Wu Changfeng gritted his teeth; he was certain that President Li knew about the money's origins and destination.
There's simply no way of knowing where the money went.
President Li continued, "We're all in Jiangcheng, so let's not ruin our relationship. Don't worry, I'll call you to come and collect the money as soon as it arrives."
"Look, I've accepted the gifts, so how could I not do things for you?"
"Go back now. Once the money arrives, I'll definitely open a fast track so you can get the loan as quickly as possible."
Wu Changfeng said somewhat angrily, "But I can't wait."
"Just overcome the difficulties," President Li said. "Look, I've put it this way, what else are you worried about?"
"How about this?" President Li's eyes darted around. "I'll personally give you a few thousand dollars to tide you over for now, how about that?"
Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?
All I want is my own money!
Wu Changfeng glared at him and said, "Forget it then, I don't need a few thousand yuan."
After saying that, Wu Changfeng turned and left.
As Wu Changfeng walked to the door, President Li said, "Getting a loan isn't that easy. It's common for people to wait a month or two."
"You're still too impatient."
Wu Changfeng paused, turned his head and glanced at it: "Really? So there's this rule."
President Li shook his head: "It's not a rule, it's a procedure."
Wu Changfeng ignored him and walked straight out of the office.
Back in the car, Wu Changfeng stroked his chin and began to stare blankly.
Liu Xuelan continued eating her flatbread, took a sip of cold water, and said after rinsing it down, "Boss, I don't think this President Li is a good person."
"Is it because our gift wasn't generous enough? Are they still giving us a hard time?"
Wu Changfeng asked instead, "Is it really that difficult to get a loan approved?"
Wu Changfeng was not very clear about the current loan situation.
In later generations, banks were very efficient, approving applications and sometimes disbursing loans on the same day.
It will be a matter of three to five days at the latest.
Although communication is not as convenient as it will be in later generations.
But the head office is treating this as a major event, so the process will definitely be very fast.
It can't be that the money hasn't arrived yet.
Liu Xuelan said, "My local business loans used to be much slower. I used to get my monthly salaries paid through loans, and the banks weren't this slow."
"knew."
Wu Changfeng started the car.
Where are we going?
"I'd like to pay a visit to Mayor Cui."
Liu Xuelan exclaimed in surprise, "Mayor Cui? We can't go empty-handed!"
Wu Changfeng laughed and said, "Taking things is a mistake."
"That's not good either?"
"very good."
Liu Xuelan shrugged and didn't say anything.
Wu Changfeng handed the mobile phone to Liu Xuelan, saying, "Call the provincial capital and inquire about where the money went."
This phone call was very difficult to make.
People in the provincial capital thought Liu Xuelan was a robber.
Who would specifically ask about the route and destination of the money?
I almost called the police.
Finally, the call reached President Lü, and the misunderstanding was cleared up.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xuelan said, "President Lü checked and the money was already sent out the day after you left."
Wu Changfeng scratched his head: "That's strange. They should have arrived in Jiangcheng by now, after so many days."
"President Lü said that the money would definitely not be lost, and that the escorts had all undergone strict political vetting."
"It might be a bit slow. It's possible that it has already arrived in Jiangcheng and is going through the procedures."
Wu Changfeng snorted: "That's not what President Li said."
We arrived at the Jiangcheng Municipal Government.
Wu Changfeng had just gotten out of the car when his phone rang.
It was a call from Director Lü: "Comrade Changfeng, I called and asked, the money has already arrived at Jiangcheng Credit Union."
"President Li just said he hadn't arrived yet!"
"It just arrived. You can go and complete the formalities to pick it up."
Wu Changfeng sighed, "Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xuelan asked, "Are we still going to Mayor Cui's place?"
"Since we're already here..."
Wu Changfeng joined the government.
After searching for a while, they finally found Mayor Cui in an office without a sign.
