Chapter 1737: Chapter 1737

Freezing the assets of companies involved in pollution must be accomplished here.

Whether the freezing succeeds or not, it must be done in front of them.

If not, once she leaves the City Committee, those entrepreneurs may transfer their assets first, making it impossible to freeze them, which would become her responsibility.

She won’t give Zhou Zheng such an opportunity.

...

The events of the expanded meeting have already reached Chairman Fang’s ears.

"The decision to shut down, merge, and transfer was unanimously approved!"

Chairman Fang’s old face was full of gloom; he never expected this outcome.

Even though he learned last Friday that the Standing Committee had changed to an expanded meeting and that Yang Gaolin attended as an advisor, he didn’t think these factors could affect the situation.

That was indeed the case; Yang Gaolin did not speak at the meeting.

The real turning point was Chang Hai!

He actually used an interview video to force everyone to vote!

"Damn bastard!" Chairman Fang lost his composure in anger.

But he understood that now was not the time to be angry.

Now that the City Committee and Municipal Government have unanimously passed this decision, there’s almost no reason for the province to interfere, making it nearly irreversible.

The plan now is to get out as quickly as possible.

Understanding the key points, Chairman Fang opted not to speak about them in the group, instead calling several main board members to explain the stakes and ask them to come to the company immediately to proceed with asset transfer procedures.

After making the calls, during the waiting period, Chairman Fang thought it over and finally decided to contact Wu Qiangwei.

Since the city has decided to address pollution issues with a thunderous approach, it’s certain they will freeze company accounts in the shortest time possible.

He’s worried that before the board members arrive, the accounts will already be frozen.

To ensure everything goes smoothly, it’s best to talk with Wu Qiangwei.

Fortunately, he still holds a chip, and perhaps there’s room for negotiation.

When calling, Wu Qiangwei was on another call; it wasn’t until the third try that the call finally went through.

"Chairman Fang?" Wu Qiangwei turned on the phone speaker and placed it on the table so Zhou Zheng and others could hear the conversation.

Upon hearing it was Chairman Fang’s call, Zhou Zheng and others listened intently.

"Mayor Wu, I heard that the city has determined a solution?" Chairman Fang asked with a smile.

Wu Qiangwei replied, "Chairman Fang is very informed."

Chairman Fang said, "I’m the only one who knows right now; the others don’t know yet."

Upon hearing this, the group of Standing Committee members seemed insightful, faintly guessing the purpose of his call.

Chairman Fang continued, "I’m on a business trip out of town; Mayor Wu, could you give me half a day, so I can hurry back to discuss the specifics face-to-face? Mayor Wu, rest assured, I wholeheartedly agree with the city’s decision. But I suspect others won’t cooperate. If they find out about this decision, they might immediately transfer the company’s assets."

"But, Mayor Wu, rest assured, as long as I keep quiet, they won’t find out anytime soon."

Wu Qiangwei understood his meaning, wanting her to spare him and buy time to transfer the assets.

If only spared him, he wouldn’t spread the information around.

Wu Qiangwei said, "What does Chairman Fang wish to discuss? Why not say it over the phone? It’s just as well Secretary Zhou and others are here, and they can listen too."

Zhou Zheng lightly coughed and said, "Chairman Fang, let’s talk more when you come back."

On the other end, Chairman Fang’s heart sank.

The meeting just ended, yet the Standing Committee members were still gathered.

There’s no need to say more; they must be discussing the details of shutting down, merging, and transferring.

I fear that the Judicial Bureau and the Court are already in contact with the banks, and there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance that freezing won’t be timely.

Thinking of this, Chairman Fang, whose thoughts had sunk to the bottom, rose with some rage, and although his words were smiling, they revealed anger: "I won’t disturb the leaders in their meeting, I’ll visit when I return to Jiangzhou."

Decisively hanging up the phone, Chairman Fang immediately called the finance department, ordering them to transfer the money from the public account immediately.

The company is too big, and even as chairman, he can’t make such major decisions alone.

The finance department tried to stall, and Chairman Fang didn’t bother to scold, hanging up and calling several board members, asking them to contact finance immediately.

He actually understood that even if he hurried on his end, he probably wouldn’t catch up, but he had to try.

After contacting several directors, he mentioned the matter in the group.

The group exploded, with a bunch of billion-dollar worth big bosses, who hadn’t been this angry in years.

But after a few curses, they immediately contacted their own respective directors and finance teams.

...

In the meeting room, Wu Qiangwei was waiting for the Judicial Bureau and the Court to return her call.

About twenty minutes later, Sun Jiajun’s phone rang.

"Hmm, alright, I understand."

Sun Jiajun put down the phone and said, "The freeze has been implemented."

Wu Qiangwei nodded slightly, then called Xiao Chenlei: "Take people to the park and seal it off to prohibit operations."

Xiao Chenlei was in high spirits.

In this matter, he was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.

Without surprise, he’s certain to occupy the district head position.

After completing the asset freeze procedures, Wu Qiangwei said, "I’ll send someone to contact the heads of companies involved in pollution to schedule a time to discuss specific details face-to-face."

Zhou Zheng replied, "If you need assistance from the City Committee, contact Secretary Guo directly."

"Okay."

...

At the guest house.

Su Rong received a message from Du Canyang, asking her to come to his room.

It was a few minutes after Du Canyang left that she went out.

As soon as she entered the room, Du Canyang hugged her, his hands wandering: "I’ve got good news."

Su Rong suppressed the aversion and disgust in her heart, cooperating with soft gasps.

Du Canyang lowered his head to kiss her, and momentarily she was beneath him, galloping.

After a dozen minutes, Du Canyang lay on the bed with her in his arms and said, "This morning Jiangzhou held a Standing Committee expanded meeting, and the outcome for dealing with companies involved in pollution has been decided."

Su Rong raised her chin, and Du Canyang said, "Shut down, merge, transfer."

"What?" Su Rong was slightly shocked: "How could it be this outcome?"

Du Canyang detailed the news to her. Su Rong’s expression grew increasingly ugly, with a feeling of being deceived.

She paid so many costs, and now she’s told that Song Guanchao is unaffected, and everything went according to his plan.

She couldn’t accept it.

"This is a good thing." Du Canyang said.

"A good thing?" Su Rong’s expression was cold and angry; if she hadn’t paid such a heavy price and didn’t want to impulsively turn against him, she would have kicked Du Canyang off the bed.

"Of course it’s a good thing." Du Canyang said, "Let me ask you, what’s the city’s first step?"

Su Rong had no mood to play money games with him; seeing her mood was bad, Du Canyang smiled and said, "The first step is to freeze the accounts of companies involved in pollution."

"But think about it—will these companies willingly accept being frozen?"

"Since the outcome of shut down, merge, transfer is inevitable, they’ll find ways to minimize the loss. This inevitably leads to conflicts with the City Committee and Municipal Government."

"Forcing a group of entrepreneurs who have grown their businesses so large to this point is very dangerous."

Su Rong’s expression softened significantly, and Du Canyang patted her backside, rolled over, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Su Rong instinctively dodged, then realized, closed her eyes, and let his tongue stir in her mouth.
