Official Career Storm

Chapter 1781: Chapter 1781

Faced with Song Guanchao’s request, Yang Wan did not make any response.

Song Guanchao didn’t know what Lin Jingsheng had said to him, but one could glimpse a hint from his expression.

His inner self was wavering, hesitating between retreating and not retreating.

It seemed likely that Lin Jingsheng had intimidated and threatened him.

In this situation, just a little more effort could completely break down his inner defenses.

Song Guanchao said, "Director Huang has already admitted to the issue. He has handed over the 30 million in encrypted currency you bribed him with."

"Such a huge amount of bribery carries a serious charge."

"However, I can give Mr. Yang a chance for redemption. If you return the money, I will pretend this never happened."

Yang Wan’s lips moved slightly, but before he could speak, Song Guanchao continued, "The projects of closing down and restructuring are being used as examples by the City Committee and Municipal Government. Tampering with this project is very risky."

"Moreover, Mr. Yang, you don’t really need to take this risk."

"Closing and restructuring does not mean the assets go to zero. Yanghe Petrochemical is still your company, and your shares will not disappear. The quality assets within the company, once you find a willing buyer, minus the liabilities, will still belong to you."

"It’s just that there won’t be as much as now. Is Mr. Yang truly willing to sit in jail for a few years for this much money?"

Song Guanchao earnestly persuaded, laying out the pros and cons.

He wasn’t a qualified lobbyist; persuading someone to give up already acquired wealth wasn’t an easy task.

But Song Guanchao believed that Yang Wan would return it.

Sitting in prison doesn’t necessarily guarantee keeping the money.

While obtaining freedom, taking a little less money.

It’s a very simple choice question; no intelligent adult would choose wrongly.

Song Guanchao said everything that needed to be said and left the room. Yang Wan didn’t stop him, remaining deep in thought.

"Secretary Tan, I’m heading back now. I’ll update you by phone."

"Okay."

He and Lin Jingsheng walked outside, leaving the hotel. Lin Jingsheng said, "Director Song, how about a cup of tea?"

"Let’s have tea at my office." He knew Lin Jingsheng wanted to discuss the project with him.

Returning to the City Government, as they got out of the car, Song Guanchao noticed Lin Jingsheng had an extra briefcase in his hand.

He figured, inside the bag, there was probably the latest proposal.

They arrived at the office, and Song Guanchao made two cups of tea, sitting down to look at Lin Jingsheng.

As expected, Lin Jingsheng took out a document from the briefcase.

"Director Song, please take a look."

Song Guanchao flipped through the document, scanning it quickly yet carefully.

Ten minutes later, he put the document down, showing a hint of surprise and doubt on his face.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this document was the best proposal for closing down and restructuring at present.

The Lin Family was willing to pay to buy the quality assets and the loss-making departments of the polluting enterprises, even willing to compensate the laid-off employees and compensate the citizens affected by the pollution.

The proposal was comprehensive, especially in terms of fund issues, all clearly spelled out in black and white.

However, because the proposal was so perfect, Song Guanchao instead felt unreal and wondered if there were some other motives hidden.

Or maybe, did he read too quickly to notice some hidden traps in the contract?

He put down the document, not hiding his doubts about the proposal: "The proposal is great, but I have a question."

"Director Song, please ask."

"What’s the Lin Family after?"

If this proposal were executed, even if there were still profits, for a large family like the Lin Family, it would still be a labor-intensive and unprofitable endeavor.

He really couldn’t understand why the Lin Family would want to do such a troublesome thing.

As if anticipating his question, Lin Jingsheng shook his head and said, "For specific reasons, I’m not at liberty to say. Director Song just needs to trust that the Lin Family will execute strictly according to the plan."

"Director Song, how do you find our Lin Family’s sincerity?"

Song Guanchao didn’t probe further, just like he said, they just needed to stick to the plan.

As for the Lin Family’s real intention, he couldn’t be bothered to care.

"The proposal has no major issues. However, before the Lin Family got in touch, two companies already approached me, expressing their interest in participating."

Lin Jingsheng said, "They can invest, but they cannot be involved in the company’s operation."

He understood what Song Guanchao meant by saying this now.

Those two companies were most likely his people.

"We’ll have a meeting on Monday. I’ll have them all come over for a face-to-face discussion," said Song Guanchao.

"Okay." Lin Jingsheng got up to say goodbye.

Song Guanchao grabbed the document and went to find Wu Qiangwei.

Shu Xue brought in the tea and closed the door. As soon as she did, Song Guanchao noticed a little unease on Wu Qiangwei’s face.

The two had naturally crossed the final step, and Wu Qiangwei temporarily couldn’t clearly separate personal and professional matters.

Plus, the wonderful and exquisite experience of last night had Wu Qiangwei, experiencing her first time, inevitably getting distracted reminiscing.

And in front of Song Guanchao, who possessed her body, Wu Qiangwei was even a bit shy to face him directly.

"Not feeling well?" Song Guanchao deliberately teased her.

Wu Qiangwei looked up confused: "What?"

Song Guanchao pointed at her face: "Your face is so red. Are you having a fever?"

Realizing it, Wu Qiangwei angrily glared at him: "Speak if you have something; if not, leave!"

"Hehe."

Song Guanchao pushed the document over: "This is the Lin Family’s latest proposal on closing down and restructuring. Take a look."

He deliberately slowed down a beat, and as Wu Qiangwei reached out for the document, he pretended to accidentally brush her hand.

Wu Qiangwei’s body trembled, her face, which had just calmed down, flushed a shade of red again. Her eyes glared at him with a mix of shyness and annoyance.

She bit her lip and chose not to speak to him.

She knew Song Guanchao too well, scolding him now would only make him happier.

Seeing she managed not to curse, Song Guanchao felt a bit regretful.

As she read the document, he amused himself playing on his phone.

A quarter of an hour later, Wu Qiangwei made a soft sound, and Song Guanchao put away his phone, looking up: "Finished reading?"

Wu Qiangwei said, "This is the Lin Family’s proposal?"

"Yes."

"What does the Lin Family mean by this?" She was also a bit puzzled.

Song Guanchao shook his head: "I asked, but he didn’t say. I believe the Lin Family is serious."

He wasn’t afraid of the Lin Family playing tricks. The proposal wasn’t something he and Wu Qiangwei could decide alone; it had to go to the Standing Committee, to special meetings, and multiple departments would jointly review it. Only after confirming there were no issues could it be finalized.

If there were hidden traps in the proposal, they would be discovered during the review process.

This was why Song Guanchao hadn’t pressed Lin Jingsheng for more answers.

Wu Qiangwei said: "If this is the proposal, then there’s no problem!"

In the proposal, the Lin Family had listed all the requirements raised by Song Guanchao and provided solutions.

A pure businessman achieving this level could almost be considered as doing charity.
