The smug smile on Li Yuanyuan's face was almost overflowing with joy.
Her entire demeanor changed; she was no longer the weak waitress in the restaurant, but exuded a natural sense of control that came with holding power.
"Not long ago, the county launched a crackdown."
"Many of the chamber of commerce members' factories have been visited by environmental protection and industry and commerce authorities, who have ordered them to suspend operations for rectification."
Li Yuanyuan parted her red lips slightly, her voice carrying a hint of lazy magnetism: "For example, the light bulb factory, the Environmental Protection Bureau demanded that they immediately upgrade their sewage treatment equipment, which is an impossible task at present. Yu Nianyue was so anxious that he almost got into a fight with the director."
"It's pretty much the same at the glass factory."
Her eyes sparkled, and she glanced at Zhang Cheng with a seductive look.
"However, at the meeting, Secretary Liu personally praised our clothing store by name, saying that we are a benchmark for compliant operation."
"So, overnight, all those factory managers and bosses who were in a terrible state of chaos flocked to me."
Li Yuanyuan leaned forward slightly, and a sweet fragrance wafted over. She lowered her voice, but her tone was full of boastfulness.
"Now, as the president of the Yuancheng Chamber of Commerce, I am very popular in Funing County."
"My word carries more weight than any official document from the city's department leaders."
"sharp."
Zhang Cheng gave a heartfelt thumbs up.
"You only realize how amazing I am now?"
Li Yuanyuan proudly raised her snow-white chin, exuding charm, "Didn't you want to open a nightclub? I've inquired for you. If you want to open a high-end one, you can't get away with less than several hundred thousand. I heard that in Shenzhen, a crystal chandelier imported from Hong Kong Island costs over ten thousand."
“Wenzhou goods, a few thousand yuan will do.” Zhang Cheng grinned.
"You're so pathetic." Li Yuanyuan glared at him. "If you're going to do something, do the biggest and most luxurious one in the whole province. If you don't have enough money, I'll figure something out."
"Now, all I have to do is ask, and the business owners in the chamber of commerce will give me mountains of money."
Zhang Cheng shook his head and said calmly, "I don't like doing business with partners."
"Tch, so concerned about saving face." Li Yuanyuan curled her lip, her eyes darting around, "Then... if I invest 500,000 yuan in you in the name of Yuancheng Chamber of Commerce, in exchange for 10% of your future nightclub's shares, would you do it?"
"Dry!"
Zhang Cheng blurted it out without thinking.
Li Yuanyuan was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, didn't you just say you wouldn't do business in partnership?"
"It's because you gave me too much."
Zhang Cheng couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed.
"By the way, how's that kid Li Yuanchao doing?" Zhang Cheng asked casually.
Li Yuanyuan shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalantly, "I can eat and drink, I won't die. The doctor said I'll be fine after lying in bed for a month or two."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of urgent bangings sounded on the door, and Old Liu's anxious shouts came from outside: "Boss Zhang! Boss Zhang! Something terrible has happened!"
Zhang Jianhao immediately went to open the door.
Old Liu rushed in, sweating profusely. Upon seeing Zhang Cheng, he grasped at a straw and cried out urgently, "Boss Zhang, it's over! The police just shut down the treasury bond recycling center! They said we were speculating and profiteering, and all those 300,000 yuan worth of treasury bonds are going to be confiscated!"
The smile on Zhang Cheng's face vanished instantly.
He suddenly stood up.
"Old Liu, don't rush." Zhang Cheng's voice was steady, but his eyes had sharpened. "Does President Jiang know about this?"
"Understood! President Jiang told me to come to you immediately to find a solution!"
Zhang Cheng's lips twitched slightly.
Jiang Yuhong is treating him like a god.
When the police want to confiscate something, especially during a crackdown, who would dare to steal it?
Zhao Daming is the deputy director, but this kind of thing is playing with his brother's political future.
"What's the reason? The police have to give an explanation, right?" Zhang Cheng asked in a deep voice.
"It's just speculation and profiteering!" Old Liu said with a mournful face. "I went to the bureau, and Deputy Director Long talked to me personally. He said that if it weren't for General Manager Jiang's sake, my behavior during the crackdown could have resulted in my execution! He told me to stop thinking about the 300,000 yuan and that I should be lucky to save my life."
Old Liu's eyes were filled with despair and pleading: "Boss Zhang, what... what should we do?"
"Disaster."
Zhang Cheng uttered a single word, his brows furrowed.
at the same time.
The Phoenix Hotel in Shanghai, a thousand miles away.
Inside the VIP box, Jiang Yuhong, dressed in a sharp imported suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and with his hair slicked back, exuded an extraordinary air.
Beside him sat Liu Miaomiao, who was wearing a floral dress and looked even more beautiful and charming.
At the head of the table, a glamorous woman sat with her legs crossed, a cigarette between her slender fingers. She was the owner of the hotel, known as Sister Phoenix.
"Mr. Jiang, could you do me the favor of letting Boss Nian's shoes be sold in your department store as a consignment? You can decide the commission." Sister Phoenix said with a smile, but her tone was tentative.
Jiang Yuhong smiled and glanced at Sister Phoenix.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through the soft flesh of his waist, and the smile on his face instantly froze.
Liu Miaomiao still smiled charmingly, but her right hand, which was behind her back, twisted it mercilessly.
"Ahem!" Jiang Yuhong coughed lightly, regaining his composure, and said calmly, "Phoenix, I've seen Boss Nian's batch of goods. The price is cheap, but the quality... is ruining my reputation. You wouldn't want to make things difficult for me, would you?"
Sister Phoenix's smile remained unchanged as she gently exhaled a smoke ring, adopting a very humble posture: "President Jiang, I know this is difficult for you. But Boss Nian did help me, and I owe him a favor. How about this, I'll repay this favor to you."
