My Life with Narration

Chapter 590: Chapter 581: Wen Jingqi Makes a Move (Part 2)

Wang Haipeng naturally enjoyed these circumstances. He was the biggest local construction merchant in Xining City, and if it weren’t for President Han, the outsider, he would be handling this project.

Even if there wasn’t a lot of capital, he could still team up with others to secure the project, rather than being stripped of a layer like now.

So he naturally felt discontent towards Han Wei. When Wen Jingqi called, he immediately understood why he was calling.

It was nothing more than asking him to say a word to help. For Wang Haipeng, this was a trivial matter, and besides, he could use this opportunity to badmouth Han Wei, and incidentally make local leaders pay more attention to him. After all, once he connected with the Wen Family, shouldn’t future good projects come his way?

If the effects proved favorable, he might even gain some benefits from next year’s project.

It seemed like just a simple meal, a casual remark, but in truth, it was filled with countless subtleties and hidden confrontations had already begun.

This kind of level, not apparent on the surface, if Wang Xing, that idiot, came over, his CPU would burn out.

Even with Su Qing beside him, it would feel overwhelmingly difficult.

After all, knowing is one thing, but solving it is the hardest part.

Like Han Wei now, can he not see Wang Haipeng’s motives? Of course he does, it’s just he doesn’t have a way out, since he’s in a passive position, only able to react to their moves.

As an outsider, although unfamiliar with the Wen Family’s situation, looking at the nearby leaders, he knew the opponent must be significant. For now, he had to clear things up before doing anything.

At this moment, Zhao Zhengguo was already starting to curse inside.

He didn’t expect such a small matter to make the people above so apprehensive; he just wanted to earn a little money, but didn’t expect things to be so difficult!

Faced with the gaze of these people, what could he say? Should he admit to wanting to embezzle the compensation money?

Even though Han Wei might not mind this kind of operation—giving you a million to settle the matter while you spend fifty thousand, that’s your skill, you should earn this money, but the condition is for you to resolve the situation.

If it’s unresolved and escalates, then you’re screwed.

Big leaders don’t care about how the money is spent; they only care whether the issue is resolved.

"Han... President Han, I’m not quite sure, I sent someone a few days ago to negotiate, but it didn’t seem successful. How could such things succeed on the first try, don’t you agree?

As for Wen Jingqi..."

At this, Zhao Zhengguo’s eyes widened. He remembered his subordinate came back saying something, asking if he knew Wen Jingqi. Yet, how could he know the big shot from Jiangcheng City? Besides, his level was not high enough to even have contact, let alone know them.

He continued, "I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. That day, when my guys came back, they said they encountered a young man who had a conflict with my people, seemed to be from Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau... mentioned Wen Jingqi."

At these words, everyone roughly understood, yet couldn’t believe it. It was even more troublesome that someone from the Public Security system got involved.

Don’t underestimate youth, their background looked complicated enough. A young person who knows Wen Jingqi can’t be simple; perhaps they have even bigger connections within the Public Security.

"You... humph!" Han Wei pointed at Zhao Zhengguo, immediately infuriated.

He surely guessed Zhao Zhengguo wanted to make some money, but didn’t anticipate hitting a tough spot, which exposed the matter right in front of the leaders, seeming like they wanted to touch their project.

He had no doubt that an established construction company entrenched in Jiang City could captivate several leaders’ attention with such energy.

It won’t need much effort; scrutinizing their project rigorously will cause significant issues for them.

It’s hard to build well, but picking flaws is much easier. Han Wei looked at Zhao Zhengguo with increasingly displeased eyes, achieving nothing but failure.

For a tiny profit, you caused me such trouble? What’s the use of such a person?

Seeing Han Wei’s look, Zhao Zhengguo was speechless with bitterness, wanting to plead, but before the leaders, speaking up would be asking for criticism, better to stay silent.

Han Wei suppressed his anger, looked at Wang Haipeng, and smiled, "Old Brother, what should I do? What’s Boss Wen’s stance?"

Despite sensing Wang Haipeng had intended sabotage earlier, he had to acknowledge Wang Haipeng gave him forewarning; if not, when issues erupt unexpectedly, his project might suffer significantly.

So even if dissatisfied inside, he had to accept the favor outwardly.

Hearing this, Wang Haipeng chuckled inwardly, already triumphant.

"There’s nothing special, Jingqi just mentioned his friend encountered this and asked if it involved my project, if yes, handle it, otherwise, make a decision based on the results.

After confirming it wasn’t mine, I thought since we’re working together, better solve it early to prevent future complications, right?"

Upon hearing this, no one present could ignore the weight of Wen Jingqi’s phone call, if it wasn’t a significant connection, how could someone bother calling?

Regarding waiting for results, what results are we talking about? Surely not assuming things resolve just by waiting. If unsatisfied, offending someone is inevitable, especially a renowned corporate entity from Jiang City.

Even for governmental officials, they’re usually reluctant, sometimes even forced to smile.

Han Wei took a deep breath, nodded, then looked at Zhao Zhengguo and said, "You don’t need to deal with this matter, give me the address tomorrow; I’ll handle it personally."

"Got it, President Han!"

Zhao Zhengguo answered bitterly, knowing all too well that not only did he fail to profit, but gained much trouble, possibly even severing cooperation.

Reflecting on this, he wished to call in two subordinates for a scolding, unable to deal with such trivial matters effectively, what’s the use?

Soon, the dinner concluded with everyone absent-mindedly eating, then they dispersed home.

Before leaving, several department leaders stopped Han Wei, urging him to resolve the issue carefully, warning him of the other’s significant influence within the local construction sector.

Han Wei naturally agreed, assuring them he would resolve it well, as his current project laid in their hands tightly. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

If unresolved, a minor exertion of techniques by leaders would trouble him greatly, not hindering completion but definitely wasting time.

Meanwhile, in Jiangcheng City, an argument was unfolding at Zhang Chao’s home.

A crashing glass echoed as a cup smashed onto the floor, pieces shattering. A middle-aged man sat on the sofa, breathing heavily.

Just then, the living room door swung open, Zhang Chao entered with his wife Ning Tong, witnessing his father throwing things.

"What’s wrong, Dad? Why so angry?" Zhang Chao casually asked, swaggering in with laughter.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s eyes widened, roaring, "Who the hell did you offend!"

Zhang Chao: ???
