After Nianqing discussed the specific plan, Li Qiang ordered Gu Yue to deal with the accident, and at the same time, Tang Hu secretly investigated the truth of the matter.

At the same time, Li Qiang asked Vice Governor Liu to call from Chen Gang.

In Nianqing's words, if Chen Gang is openly used to talk about this matter, it will be a failure.

Even if those government officials sell Chen Yanwang’s face, they are still a little dissatisfied. After all, with Chen Gang’s arrogant personality, if he goes to those government officials, he will never talk in a low voice. On the contrary, Chen Gang will say in an orderly tone, Liu Tuzi, my brother-in-law is in some trouble, please hurry up and deal with it!

If Li Qiang comes to talk to Vice Governor Liu, the effect will be much better. First of all, Li Qiang will not talk in an orderly tone like Chen Gang. In this way, Vice Governor Liu will feel better and will willingly sell the face of Chen Yanwang.

As Nianqing expected, Li Qiang just made a call, and Vice Governor Liu agreed to Li Qiang to deal with the accident in the shortest time.

However, just a few minutes after the call ended, Vice Governor Liu called again and told Li Qiang that there was a very bad news: Wu Zhisen was unwilling to do so.

Although Vice Governor Liu has a higher official position than Wu Zhisen, Wu Zhisen is still the top leader in the South China Sea. If Wu Zhisen is unwilling, it would be in vain to find other government officials.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qiang seemed extremely depressed. He thought the plan would go smoothly, but he didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to emerge halfway.

"What's wrong?" Nian Qing saw that Li Qiang looked ugly. She couldn't help but stand up, put her hands on Li Qiang's shoulders, and gently twisted them. Although her massage movements were very unfamiliar, there were probably only two men in the world who could let her massage them by herself.

However, at this time, Li Qiang was not in the mood to experience this treatment that was enough to make any man jealous. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Wu Zhisen will not agree."

"Won't Wu Zhisen sell the Chen family's face?" Nian Qing was stunned at first, then frowned and asked, "Did the Lin family come forward to buy Wu Zhisen?"

Li Qiang almost didn't think about it when he heard Nian Qing's words. He shook his head and denied this possibility. Although he did not deal with Wu Zhisen many times, he could see that Wu Zhisen was not the kind of person who could be bought with money.

"Why should I come forward to talk to him?" Nianqing suggested.

Li Qiang understood that if Nian Qing took action personally, it would be not difficult to ask Wu Zhisen to agree to this matter. However, he still shook his head and rejected Nian Qing's kindness. He said, "I'll go in person."

After hearing Li Qiang make the decision, Nianqing did not ask why Li Qiang did this, but just nodded slightly.

After letting out a deep breath, Li Qiang called Wu Tingdi.

The phone was quickly connected. Wu Ting's familiar voice came from the receiver: "Xiaoqiang?"

"It's me, Tingting." Li Qiang said in a relaxed tone: "How are you doing recently?"

"You! I said Xiaoqiang, is the sun coming out from the west today? Why are you using this space today? I remembered to ask me how I was doing?" On the other end of the phone, Tingting had already walked out of the office and came to the stairs with a happy expression on her face.

Even though he knew that Wu Ting was telling a joke, Li Qiang was still a little sad. Wu Ting has always regarded him as a friend, but he has hidden Wu Ting's true identity and has never contacted Wu Ting on his own initiative.

"Tingting, I have to hide some things from you, so I have no choice but to understand them." Li Qiang thought for a while and said.

When Li Qiang said this, Wu Ting felt a little embarrassed: "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore, I'm joking. I'm still the same as before recently. What about you? You should be very busy, right?"

"Yeah, I'm quite busy lately." Li Qiang laughed and said, "I have time to treat you to dinner another day."

"No, no, no. There are so many beauties around you, treat me to dinner? They will swallow them to death when they see it." Wu Ting laughed.

"We are a normal relationship between men and women, and it is normal for friends to have a meal!" Perhaps it was because Wu Ting's tone that made Li Qiang relax, and his mood also became a little relaxed.

"Since you are so enthusiastic, I don't need to pour cold water on you." Wu Ting smiled and said, "Speak up, Boss Li, what are you asking me for help?"

"It's nothing. I want to ask you for your father's phone number." Li Qiang felt a burst of sweat in his heart. Although it was not as serious as Wu Ting said, he was a little embarrassed.

"You have something to do with my father?" Wu Ting was stunned when she heard Li Qiang ask for Wu Zhisen's call.

Li Qiang first made a strife, then smiled and said, "Well, I have something to talk to him about."

Ting answered absent-mindedly, and then told Li Qiang the phone number.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qiang called Wu Zhisen's office. The person who answered the phone was Wu Zhisen's secretary. When he learned about Li Qiang's identity, Wu Zhisen told Li Qiang that if he wanted to find Wu Zhisen to Wu Zhisen's office.

Although Li Qiang was very unhappy about this, he didn't say anything. After hurriedly explaining his intentions to Nianqing, he drove to the municipal party committee compound alone.

this

It was noon, and the streets were full of cars. The thirty-minute journey took a total of fifty minutes.

The municipal party committee courtyard is much more majestic than Li Qiang imagined. There is a building with more than ten floors standing in the courtyard. The greening in the courtyard is very good, the lawn is very flat, and various trees also reveal a little new green, full of spring.

At the door, two armed police officers on duty, fully armed. When they saw Li Qiang's car driving to the door, they habitually stopped him.

Li Qiang opened the car window and briefly explained his purpose to the two armed police. Perhaps he saw that Li Qiang was well-dressed and drove a million-dollar luxury car, so the two armed police did not deliberately stop him, but let him go directly.

Parked the car in front of the government building, Li Qiang got out and walked into the municipal party committee building.

Since many people went to have dinner at noon, the building was very quiet.

Li Qiang was a little worried about this. He was afraid that Wu Zhisen would leave early because he went to have a meal. He wanted to call to confirm it, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up the idea.

At the door of Wu Zhisen's office, Li Qiang saw Wu Zhisen's assistant, and seemed to be waiting for him there.

"Mr. Li, please wait a moment. Mayor Wu is having a meal?" Wu Zhisen's secretary saw Li Qiang approaching and greeted him with a slightly dissatisfied expression.

Li Qiang was already dissatisfied with Wu Zhisen's interference. Now, when he heard Wu Zhisen's assistant's words, his face changed and he sneered: "When will Mayor Wu finish the meal?"

"Xiao Zhang. Let him come in." At this time, Wu Zhisen's familiar voice came from the office.

When Li Qiang heard Wu Zhisen's voice, he was stunned at first, then glared at Wu Zhisen's secretary. Then he walked into Wu Zhisen's office.

In Li Qiang's imagination, as the mayor of Nanhai City, Wu Zhisen's office should be very luxurious.

However, what Li Qiang did not expect was that Wu Zhisen's office was not luxurious. On the contrary, Wu Zhisen's office was very simple, so simple that even Chen Lin's office was not as good as Chen Lin's office.

The simple and clean office is simply divided into two partitions. When the first one is a small living room. Apart from the two old sofas and a small coffee table, nearly half of the walls are visible. Bookcases filled with various books, and on the other wall are several calligraphy and paintings. One of them has four large characters inscribed: "Reign for the people." The thick ink and heavy pen is quite eye-catching.

Zhisen picked up the toilet paper on the table, wiped the oil and water from his mouth, and pointed to the sofa.

Hearing Wu Zhisen's words, Li Qiang did not sit on the sofa immediately, but was still shocked!

If Li Qiang was surprised by the office of Jianpudi, then Wu Zhisen’s lunch was enough to shock Li Qiang!

It is often circulated on TV and the Internet that some officials are corrupt, spend tens of thousands of yuan to eat a meal, travel with public funds, etc.

As the top leader in South China, Wu Zhisen’s lunch is a box of lunch boxes, and the cheapest lunch box for ten yuan!

Li Qiang is not unfamiliar with lunch boxes. During the time when he moved out, the single Li Qiang bought lunch boxes a lot.

In Li Qiang's opinion, those food-carrying rice sold in takeout are not as delicious as the boxed lunches on the train. They are in a 50-step and a hundred-step smile. Li Qiang even thinks that they are not as delicious as instant noodles.

However, as the top leader of Nanhai City, Wu Zhisen's lunch is not big fish and meat, nor is it delicacies, it is just the cheapest lunch box. It is conceivable how shocked Li Qiang was.

Moreover, Li Qiang clearly saw that there was no left of rice in the lunch box, and even the soup was completely drunk by Wu Zhisen.

As if he noticed Li Qiang's loss of composure, Wu Zhisen smiled indifferently and said, "No more rich than you, I can only eat this at noon." Although he said this, judging from Wu Zhisen's expression, he was not embarrassed at all. It seemed that in his opinion, eating a boxed lunch was normal.

Wu Zhisen's words made Li Qiang come back to his senses from the shock. He glanced at Wu Zhisen with a complicated expression, and then sat on the sofa.

"Vice Governor Liu has called me to tell you about your affairs." After Wu Zhisen's assistant packed the lunch box in front of Wu Zhisen, Wu Zhisen took out a five-dollar box and lit it, saying, "I believe, you already know my attitude."

Hearing Wu Zhisen's words, Li Qiang nodded helplessly and said, "Governor Liu has told me your decision. I came to you just to discuss with you whether the accident cycle can be shortened. Because the project is about to be completed, the developer called and said that if the completion cannot be expected, all the responsibilities will be borne by my company."

"I don't care about the affairs of the developer and your company, and I have no right to care about it!" Wu Zhisen said without changing his expression when he heard Li Qiang say this, "However, the accident cycle cannot be shortened. Although only two people died in this accident, the economic loss exceeded 300, which is a major accident. It must be followed by formal procedures and needs to be dealt with seriously. Otherwise, if such a situation occurs in the future, I cannot explain to the citizens!"

"Please rest assured, Mayor Wu. I promise that similar situations will never happen in the future!" Li Qiang said confidently when he heard Wu Zhisen's rejection.

"You promise? You take it

"Wu Zhisen is selfless and does not sell Li Qiang's face at all.

"Mayor Wu, the reason for the accident was that the quality of the steel bars was not up to standard, and it was not the construction problem of our employees!" Li Qiang said seriously: "It was not our problem, but in the end we were asked to bear the most serious consequences. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

"The cause of the accident has not been investigated yet. If it is the reason for the quality of the steel bars, you can use legal means to recover the losses from the company that provides construction materials." Wu Zhisen said as he vomited a mouthful of thick smoke. In the hazy smoke, his brows were tightly twisted together, and his expression was very serious.

Wu Zhisen's words made Li Qiang very depressed!

Although Wu Zhisen said that the land is a fact, if the collapse accident is really caused by the failure to meet the quality of the steel bars, then Li Qiang's construction company can indeed recover the losses from that company through legal means!

However, compared with Li Qiang's loss of contract with the developer's loss of Li Qiang's company's breach of contract, it is simply a drop in the bucket and cannot be compared. Moreover, even if you have to sue and recover the loss, it will take a long time. However, the developer can let Li Qiang's company bear the losses in the shortest time! After all, major projects like this are paid only after they are completed. Moreover, Li Qiang learned from Gu Yue that in order to build the building, the construction company also paid a lot of construction materials by itself.

The atmosphere became a little awkward in an instant.

Wu Zhisen sucked cigarettes in big mouthfuls, while Li Qiang frowned with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Mayor Wu, is there really no way?" Li Qiang narrowed his eyes and stared at Wu Zhisen and asked again.

Wu Zhisen snatched out the cigarette butts, shook his head gently, and said, "Li Qiang. Maybe other officials sold the face of King Chen Yan, but I, Wu Zhisen, would not. Similarly, I, Wu Zhisen, would not sell any superiors. The country made me the mayor of Nanhai City, so I will use my best efforts to benefit the people of the South China Sea. I must be worthy of the people, the trust of the country and my own conscience!"

Wu Zhisen's words were righteous and sounded like there was no hypocritical.

After hearing Wu Zhisen's words, Li Qiang had to admit that what Wu Zhisen said was the truth.

Judging from the fact that Wu Zhisen's lunch was only a boxed lunch of ten yuan, Wu Zhisen was indeed a high-ranking official.

In history, no honest official of any dynasty would bow his head because he was afraid of certain forces.

You can say they are just or they are stupid, but the contributions they make are indelible.

"Mayor Wu, to be honest, I admire your professionalism. In today's society, there are indeed fewer and fewer officials like you." Li Qiang was not flattering, but to be honest. Speaking of this, the topic changed again and said, "But, Mayor Wu, you and I understand. This matter does not make you use public for personal gain, nor will it cause harm to society! I just shorten the accident cycle, not that the building is in great danger, and let you approve the construction. If the expert determines that the preliminary project of the building does not meet, I will never ask you to approve the project to continue."

Li Qiang's words were very sincere, and it was also true.

After saying that, he looked straight at Wu Zhisen, waiting for Li Qiang's answer.

This time, Wu Zhisen did not shake his head and said no. But after thinking about it, he shook his head gently and said, "No. Everything has rules, and there will be chaos in the world without rules. So, Li Qiang, you'd better go back!"

Wu Zhisen's refusal made Li Qiang's heart sink again.

Wu Zhisen's old-fashioned and unrestrained spirit made Li Qiang feel helpless and annoyed.

For such a person, it is usually difficult to convince them.

If you use force or other despicable means, you may have a chance.

However, Wu Zhisen is Wu Ting's father, and Wu Ting is Li Qiang's friend.

Li Qiang cannot do such a thing as asking Li Qiang to attack his friend's father.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the atmosphere in the office became extremely depressing.

suddenly--

A harsh phone ringing broke the original silence.

Wu Zhisen looked at Li Qiang apologetically, and then answered the phone.

After answering the phone, Wu Zhisen's expression began to be very calm, and then his face continued to change. At the same time, he said the words he had just explained to Li Qiang to the owner on the other end of the phone.

Ten minutes later, Wu Zhisen hung up the phone.

He frowned with a gloomy face and thought for a while, finally sighed and said, "I will ask the investigation team to deal with this accident in the shortest time, but you must ensure that there is no problem with the preliminary project. Otherwise, even if the king of heaven comes, there will be no discussion on this matter."
