At this point, Tian Cheng paused and continued, "Sister-in-law, it was Zhu Yan who introduced Zhu Qin to the southern businessman."
Zhou Xiang frowned, "Is this Zhu family also from Zhuwa Village?"
Tian Cheng nodded. "Yes, Grandpa Zhu Qin is from Zhuwa Village. He married into the town. When his father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away, he changed his youngest son's surname back to his, which means he is Zhu Qin's father."
"What's the man's background?"
"I'm from a rural area on the outskirts of Yangcheng. After my family's land was taken away, I received some compensation. So I followed the example of Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen and headed inland to invest. After searching for a while in Zhucheng, I came to Huai County."
“Where did he invest?”
"At first, I wanted to invest in a real estate company, but Manager Song refused to accept my investment. Later, he also planned to set up a company or contract construction, but he always backed out at the last minute. I don't know if it was because he lacked the courage, the funds, or he was afraid that the deposit would not be returned. In short, I never saw him actually spend a lot of money.
Recently, he heard that someone from Zhejiang Province came to Huai County to invest and develop, and he planned to contract an area from them.
People from Zhejiang Province came to Huai County to develop it? Zhou Xiang dropped the tomato she was chewing. She had actually forgotten about this important matter.
"Sister-in-law?" Tian Cheng was shocked. What did he say wrong?
Zhou Xiang coughed lightly and said, "It's okay, I just lost my concentration. Please continue."
Tian Cheng was relieved to see that she looked normal. "I called the businessman's family, but they said it didn't matter, as long as he knew to go home."
"Then arrange for two people to discuss this matter quietly, and let the gossips in town eavesdrop."
"yes."
After Tian Cheng left, Zhou wanted to take out her cell phone and dial 114. She couldn't remember Song Yunqing's office phone number. Tian Cheng had just mentioned Manager Song, and he should still be in the real estate company.
After asking for the real estate company's office phone number, a female voice answered the phone. When Zhou heard that he wanted to find Manager Song, she sneered arrogantly and said that not everyone could find Manager Song.
"I'm Zhou Xiang."
Feeling that the other party might hang up, Zhou Xiang quickly gave his name.
The sound of a microphone hitting the table came from the other side. Zhou wanted to move the phone away from her ear, as it almost deafened her ears. She turned on the speaker and placed her phone on the table.
"You, you, who do you say you are?" The voice on the other end trembled a little.
"My name is Zhou Xiang. I don't remember Manager Song's office phone number."
"Please wait a moment, wait a moment, I'll ask Manager Song to answer the phone for you."
"It's the same if you give me your number."
"No, no, no, wait a minute. I'll go call Manager Song. His office phone number has been canceled, and I don't know his cell phone number."
"All right!"
After waiting for several minutes, I heard someone pick up the phone. "Hello? Zhou Xiang?"
"It's me! I have something very important to tell you. Can you come to the market town?"
"I'm in a meeting with investors right now! Can you spare some time to go there tomorrow morning?"
"A businessman from Zhejiang Province?"
"Yes."
"Stop the meeting. It's not too late to hold another meeting after you hear what I have to say."
Song Yunqing had never heard Zhou Xiang speak so seriously before. After a pause, he agreed, "Alright, this isn't something that can be decided in a day or two. I'm going to disband the meeting now."
“Is there anyone from the county government?”
"Deputy County Magistrate, and the Director of the Merchants Bureau."
"Call these two over too!"
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiang called Ling Ran. Ling Ran was very happy. "Wife, do you miss me?"
"I thought about it." After comforting her man first, Zhou Xiang said seriously, "I have something important to do. Is it convenient for you to talk?"
"That's convenient. I'm here with Senior Jiang!"
"Do you still remember the Huai County investment promotion incident?"
"I have no impression! Did something big happen?"
Zhou Xiang didn't expect Ling Ran didn't know about it. That's right, he was still fighting hard in the team at that time!
"When the Zhejiang businessman's house in Huai County was demolished and in disarray, he absconded with the money when the advance payment in his hands reached over 600 million yuan."
"Huh? Now that you mention it, I seem to have some impression. Wasn't the main street of the county town demolished for the past two or three years?"
"Yes, all the money was quietly transferred away, and the investors disappeared, exacerbating the government's already deficit. However, the people's back-up payments had all been made, so the government had no choice but to slowly build the houses themselves, following the designs and drawings left by the investors, and slowly return the houses to the people."
"Replacement payment?"
"Yes, alas~ I even asked Manager Song to bring the deputy county magistrate and the director of the investment promotion bureau, but why do I feel reluctant to tell them now?"
Ling Ran smiled, "Go ahead and tell me! After you've finished telling me, whether they believe it or not or not, it has nothing to do with you. As long as you can live with your conscience, that's all that matters."
"Okay! When will you be back?"
"We'll be heading back tomorrow morning and will be home by evening."
"See you tomorrow then."
"Yeah! See you tomorrow."
Manager Song came with three men, two middle-aged men and one young man. Zhou Xiang recognized one of the middle-aged men. She had met him when she arrested Yang Li's father. He was the man in the Zhongshan suit who said he was very familiar with her name.
Manager Song introduced them. The man in the Zhongshan suit was the deputy county magistrate, the other middle-aged man was the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, and the young man was the investor.
Zhou Xiang frowned. With the investors following her, what else could she say?
Seeing Zhou Xiang frown, Manager Song smiled and said, "I'm taking Xiao Shen to the park. I heard that the park is yours. This is my first time here!"
"Okay, the greatest pleasure in the park is fishing. I have a fishing rod at home. Do you need it?"
"That's the best."
My father goes fishing with Uncle Zhou every day. The two remaining fishing rods are not very useful, so it would be nice to fool them and buy time.
After Zhou Xiang took out the two fishing rods, Song Yunqing took that Xiao Shen and left Zhou's house.
The deputy county magistrate looked at Zhou Xiang and said, "Zhou Xiang, we meet again."
"Yes! Sit down and talk!"
Zhou Xiang went into the kitchen and poured two cups of boiled water, placing them in front of the two people who were already sitting at the dining table. "Boiled water. If you want hot tea, I'll boil some water and make some."
The deputy county magistrate waved his hand, "No, no, boiled water is fine. Sit down and talk!"
"OK."
Zhou Xiang chose to sit across from the two of them. She got straight to the point, "Deputy County Magistrate, this investor is not trustworthy."
Upon hearing this, the director of the Merchants Group immediately said, "Zhou Xiang, right? I don't care how famous you are or how great your achievements are, you can't deny our efforts outright."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, Director. I'm just giving you a suggestion. It's up to you whether you accept it or not."
The deputy county magistrate looked solemn, "Zhou Xiang, since you said so, then tell me the reason!"
"What stage has your meeting reached? Or, in other words, how did you negotiate with the investor?"
The deputy county magistrate shook his head, "It hasn't been negotiated yet. Xiao Shen is not in a hurry at all. It's our people who are anxious." The deputy county magistrate looked at the director beside him.
The director lowered his eyelids and said nothing.
