Chapter 526: Chapter 373: Driven to Desperation!
For example.
Transform a village into a city!
It’s very difficult to rely on an individual because, after all, you don’t have money or talent.
But what if an entrepreneur intervened? They spend money on transformation, spend money on construction, and in such a case, the lives of your villagers improve rapidly, and the village starts to become prosperous!
And on your resume, you can write that you led the village out of poverty.
This behavior can also be called...
’Attract investment!’
Of course, collaboration between ordinary large enterprises and the government is inherently beneficial to the people.
Dong Tianbao was one such example.
Every additional commercial plaza in Qingshi City brings immeasurable value to the authorities!
And the Dong Group happened to be able to bear the cost of building the plaza.
This project was proposed at the beginning of the year and is currently in its initial stages, requiring ongoing exchanges of various contracts to reach an agreement.
But....
"It’s not just this matter, is it?"
The old man looked at the contract, swept it up and down, then looked at Dong Tianbao and suddenly smiled.
This contract is a minor issue, not needing him at all, or even Dong Tianbao to handle personally.
Since that’s the case, why come to see me....
"It’s like this."
Dong Tianbao didn’t hesitate, his old face blushed, and he said:
"You know my child too, he’s a source of endless worry, and it seems he’s made a mistake recently, offended someone...."
"Now he’s detained in the holding room."
Saying this, Dong Tianbao paused, then immediately said:
"Of course, if he’s wrong, he should admit it! He deserves punishment!"
"It’s just... I still don’t know what this brat did, you see...."
Dong Tianbao didn’t continue, but his meaning was plain and clear.
"Is that it?" The old man was taken aback.
Dong Tianbao added: "Of course, I inquired a bit... it seems related to Minister Lin, but Minister Lin is always busy, and I can’t make an appointment...."
"Lin Fuqiang?"
The old man furrowed his brow, not knowing what was going on.
"What is Lin Fuqiang doing now!?"
"You sit on the sofa for a while, I’ll personally contact Lin Fuqiang to get to the bottom of this."
With that.
Dong Tianbao smiled, got up, and walked to the adjoining reception room.
The old man took out his private phone and started dialing Lin Fuqiang’s contact.
The voice wasn’t loud.
It couldn’t be heard from the reception room.
Dong Tianbao waited silently, and only after hearing the phone hang up did he walk over.
But upon going over, he found....
The old man’s demeanor was distinctly different from before, looking at Dong Tianbao with a very displeased expression.
Dong Tianbao froze, instinctively asking, "You...."
But before he could finish speaking.
The old man immediately exploded, throwing the contract onto him, and shouted:
"Get out!!!"
Dong Tianbao paused, confused as to what happened, his face turning red and blue in alternation, ultimately only able to clutch the contract and walk out.
What was this about?
Just during the time of a phone call....
"Bang!"
The office door slammed shut.
Dong Tianbao left with a dark face, his assistant hurriedly following, his lips moved but it wasn’t the right time to ask anything.
And the other party didn’t stop, directly heading for the car.
Along the way, with each step he took.
Dong Tianbao’s heart sank deeper into the abyss.
Just one phone call, and the attitude shifted a complete 180 degrees...
’Who exactly did Feiyu offend!?’
’I read the shooting case used by the prosecutor to arrest him, but it was clearly just an ordinary civilian, as ordinary as it gets, without any background or family....’
Dong Tianbao racked his brains thinking.
He couldn’t understand.
Completely couldn’t understand what had happened.
Even after the driver took him back to Dong Manor, Dong Tianbao still hadn’t figured it out.
These past two days, the atmosphere at Dong Manor was rather oppressive.
But after the events of the afternoon, Dong Tianbao didn’t gather people to network anymore.
It’s all futile....
’Lin Fuqiang... Lin Fuqiang issued a deadly order.... ’
’Director Liu followed orders, the province’s attitude also reversed, and they didn’t even mention the commercial plaza.... ’
After dinner.
Dong Tianbao lay on the bed, tossing and turning, his face extremely haggard, with no trace of sleep in his eyes.
Until....
Deep into the night, Dong Tianbao suddenly opened his eyes, having made up his mind.
’I must meet Lin Fuqiang!’
....
September 25th.
Six days until the second trial.
After taking some medicine, Dong Tianbao slept for a short while and then at 1:30 PM, he drove to the provincial administration building again.
Meeting Lin Fuqiang wasn’t easy.
The other party’s status was too high, there were countless people trying to make appointments, without a certain status you couldn’t even qualify for an appointment!
In the morning, Dong Tianbao tried to find someone to schedule a meeting.
Unfortunately, as soon as they heard it was Dong Tianbao, the call was immediately hung up.
Until finally....
Using the pretext of donating equipment worth hundreds of millions to Lanshan Province’s police headquarters, Lin Fuqiang relented and agreed to meet with him!
...
PM.
"Knock knock knock~!"
With a heavy heart, Dong Tianbao knocked on an office door.
Soon, a majestic voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Dong Tianbao opened the door.
The next second....
A slightly overweight man in a police uniform appeared in front of Dong Tianbao, with a square face and a very serious expression. Upon seeing that it was Dong Tianbao coming in...
Lin Fuqiang capped the pen in his hand, his face revealing a fake smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
"Mr. Dong, thank you for your contribution to the public security in Lanshan Province!"
"Please rest assured about the subsequent donation matter, the authorities will not treat any philanthropist unfairly. We will organize journalists to conduct a special interview with you and at the same time bring positive public opinion to the Dong Group...."
Hearing these words.
What Dong Tianbao originally planned to say got stuck in his throat.
"This... it... it’s what I should do."
Dong Tianbao could only say through gritted teeth.
He wanted to steer the conversation toward Dong Feiyu.
But in front of him, Lin Fuqiang acted as if he didn’t know about Dong Feiyu’s arrest, resolutely only discussing the donation.
This made Dong Tianbao increasingly anxious inside.
Two hundred million... two hundred million in 2005 was not a small sum, even if it wasn’t cash, it was enough to make him bleed!!!
If even this couldn’t buy an explanation...
Thinking of this, Dong Tianbao gritted his teeth, really couldn’t help it, and urgently said:
"Minister Lin! I want to ask about something unrelated, what has Feiyu really..."
But unexpectedly.
Before he could finish, Lin Fuqiang immediately interrupted.
"Mr. Dong!"
Lin Fuqiang, with an expression that had somehow turned icy cold, didn’t even bother to maintain his fake smile, his tiger-like eyes stared intently at Dong Tianbao, as if ready to tear him apart at any moment.
"If you’re willing to talk about the donation, then I’m open, but if you want to overstep, I can only say sorry."
Dong Tianbao’s lips moved for a long time, eventually, after taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and said:
"No... that’s not it."
"If Feiyu is wrong, then he must be punished, but... shouldn’t there be a clear reason for the punishment?"
Lin Fuqiang seemed to understand.
The other party wasn’t asking him to release anyone, but wanted to know what had actually happened!
Upon hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Lin Fuqiang’s face.
"Why don’t you go ask Dong Feiyu, ask him what exactly he did!?"
Ask Dong Feiyu?
Does he even know himself!?
But if he knew, why wouldn’t he say?
Dong Tianbao suddenly froze, before he could regain his senses.
He saw Lin Fuqiang continue to speak slowly:
"For four hundred and ninety years, since the Dong Clan had a scholar through the imperial examination, they entered the gentry class."
"To this day for four hundred and ninety years, Patriarch Dong, before doing anything, think carefully about the potential consequences, because if the wrong choice is made... the Dong Group’s legacy could end in your hands!"
Dong Tianbao’s breathing became slightly rapid.
It seemed this was no longer just about Dong Feiyu, but... concerned the entire Dong Group!?
’What exactly is going on!?’
Dong Tianbao’s heart sank to the bottom.
But very clearly, Lin Fuqiang wouldn’t explain, he simply waved his hand expressionlessly.
"Leave."
