I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Can Jiang Chen help?"

The two children took their friends out to play, and Pan Hui, having shed her disguise, spent the entire afternoon filled with worry.

In contrast, Fang Weiguo, sipping tea and reading the newspaper, exuded confidence: "Why not?"

"No matter how successful Jiang Chen becomes, he is ultimately an entrepreneur, not a government official."

Why do ordinary people suffer?

Not only did they lack material comforts, but they were also kind and compassionate.

"So what if they're not officials?"

Fang Weiguo remained calm and pointed out the crux of the matter: "Isn't Greenland a business too? Are their executives government officials?"

Yes.

Pan Hui suddenly understood.

"How can they just arrest people whenever they want? Is Jiang Chen any less capable than Greenland? If Greenland can do it, can't Jiang Chen do it too?"

Pan Hui nodded, "Yes, you're right. Jiang Chen's business is much bigger than Greenland's."

"Click."

The door opens.

Fang Qing walked in.

The couple turned their heads.

"What about the child?"

Pan Hui asked immediately.

"gone back."

"Go back? Where did you go?"

"Go back to his own home."

"Go home? Isn't there no one home at his house?"

"His dad picked him up."

Fang Qing explained.

"his dad?"

Pan Hui asked in surprise, "His dad came out?"

"Ah."

Fang Weiguo raised an eyebrow, clearly taken aback, but deliberately pretended to have expected it, dusting off the increasingly rare paper newspaper, "What did I just say?"

"What did Dad just say?"

Fang Qing poured herself a cup of tea.

"Look at your smug face, it's not like it was your achievement." Pan Hui laughed, then said, "Your dad said that Jiang Chen can definitely do it, and he can do anything that Greenland can do."

"You're giving Greenland too much credit."

Fang Qing calmly took a sip of water.

"what?"

Pan Hui didn't hear clearly.

Fang Weiguo put away the newspaper and asked his daughter with great interest, "How did Jiang Chen manage to get that person out?"

"It's an inspection team."

"The inspection team?"

Fang Weiguo was slightly taken aback.

"Isn't the whole country carrying out anti-corruption and anti-corruption campaigns?" Fang Qing said casually.

Yes.

What my daughter said is true.

News reports frequently mention which provinces have inspection teams stationed there, but Shacheng is just a small, insignificant place on a national scale. How could it be chosen by an inspection team, and by such a coincidence, at this critical juncture?

"The inspection team wouldn't have come to Shacheng for no reason; it must be because of Jiang Chen's connections, right?"

"I do not know."

“Your dad isn’t brainless. He knows what he can and cannot say. Only your mom would go around spreading rumors.”

"go with!"

Pan Hui ignored him, peeled a pear, and handed it to her daughter. "I was going to buy fruit for that child this afternoon... but it's alright. What children need most are their parents."

"Why don't we just arrest all those heartless bastards from Greenland Group?"

Fangwei National Road.

Fang Qing, biting into a pear, didn't reply.

"The inspection team is very particular about evidence when handling cases. They arrest people just like that. You've lived for decades, and you still don't understand such a simple principle?"

"Evidence? Evidence is easy to find. Just talk to a few homeowners, and you'll have all the evidence."

There's nothing new under the sun.

Fang Weiguo knew that some people either didn't investigate at all, or if they did, they were sure to be found guilty.

Moreover, Greenland is a notorious company with countless unethical deeds; the key question is whether or not they are truly determined to take action against it.

"Confessions are only one link in the chain of evidence. To build an ironclad case, you need a complete and rigorous chain of evidence."

Fang Qing spoke in a formulaic manner, as if discussing work, while simultaneously eating a pear.

"Mom, the pears I bought today are good, very sweet."

Fang Weiguo was both amused and exasperated. "This is home, so stop with the bureaucratic talk. The inspection team has come all this way; they can't just be going through the motions, can they? I don't believe it. They definitely have to bring back some results."

"You start giving unsolicited advice just because you read the news? Is this something ordinary people like us should be discussing?"

"What's wrong with ordinary people? Even in humble positions, they dare not forget their duty to the country. Besides, our country is a people's democratic dictatorship with the proletariat as the main body. Why can't we say anything about it?"

"Click."

Fang Qing took a bite of the pear; the juice was sweet. "Dad, if you had studied harder back then, you might not be an ordinary person now."

Pan Hui burst into laughter.

Fang Weiguo said awkwardly, "It's not that your dad doesn't care, it's just that studying is different from driving. You can't just rely on hard work; you have to have talent."

"Studying depends on talent? Who said that a daughter inherited her father's superior genes?"

"Yes, yes, yes, our daughter is so smart, she must have inherited it from you, you elementary school student, okay?"

Now it was Pan Hui's turn to feel embarrassed and annoyed. "So what if you're a primary school student? Didn't you also not graduate from junior high school? Oh, just because you studied junior high school for two more years, you can look down on us primary school students?"

Fang Qing had no choice but to stop sitting on the sidelines and stop eating the pear. "Dad, Mom, you two are both people who missed out on nine years of compulsory education. Let's not make fun of each other."

The couple instantly shifted their focus, speaking in unison.

"shut up."

Fang Qing obediently shut her mouth, picked up a pear from the fruit plate, and said, "Give this to Jiang Chen."

"Wait a moment."

Fang Weiguo pretended not to see her outrageous behavior of taking even a pear out of the house.

"Will Greenland, a company that has caused harm to the local area and countless people, receive the punishment it deserves?"

The bricklayer and his son are just representatives of the countless victims.

If the real problem isn't addressed, similar tragedies will continue to occur.

“Qingqing, your dad is right. We can’t let these profit-driven companies run rampant like this.”

"Dad, Mom, you must believe that justice will prevail."

Seeing that she was still trying to dodge the question, Fang Weiguo bluntly said, "I don't believe it."

Fang Qing sighed softly and could only say, "Investigating cases takes time. To win people's hearts and minds, you have to convince them. Otherwise, what's the difference between you and Greenland Group?"

"and."

Fang Qing suddenly paused, then asked, "Have Mom and Dad ever seen a death row inmate?"

"What are you talking about? How could your father and I have ever seen a death row inmate?"

"Ah."

Seeing that her parents had never met her, Fang Qing explained to them: "What death row inmates fear most, tremble most, and suffer most from is not the moment of being shot. From the moment the bullet is fired to the moment it pierces their head, it takes less than a second; their nerves don't even have time to react. The real trial for death row inmates is the long, agonizing wait before the execution."

Fang Weiguo and his wife were lost in thought.

Fang Qing casually toyed with the pear, then turned and left.

Greenland Twin Towers.

Lu Xu arrived at the morning meeting with a band-aid on his mouth, a striking image that undoubtedly attracted the attention of all the senior executives.

Of course.

No one would ask any questions.

After the morning meeting ended, Fan Wanli specifically called Lu Xu to his office.

"What happened to your face?" "It's nothing, just a small injury."

It's indeed a minor injury.

Is it because you're worried others won't see the band-aid?
Both are band-aids, but the situation of this Greenland executive is completely different from that of Mr. Jiang.

Boss Jiang genuinely wanted to cover things up, but he only made things worse by trying to conceal the truth.

Of course.

In the brutal workplace, you can never be an honest person.

The sacrifices and contributions made for the company should be recognized!
"what happened."

When Chairman Fan asked again, Lu Xu finally spoke up, saying, "I was punched by a homeowner."

Fan Wanli remained silent, probably because he never expected that a senior executive of the company would be assaulted by a homeowner.

"Chairman, this homeowner is dissatisfied with the court's ruling. After losing the case, he has been taking to the streets every day with banners and causing trouble, severely damaging our group's reputation. I ran into him on my way to the construction site and specifically asked him to sit down and talk, hoping to communicate and mediate. However, he was unyielding and stubborn, insisting on the unreasonable demand of refunding the purchase price. After being refused, he became angry and embarrassed, which is why..."

Lu Xu acted based on facts and sought truth from facts, without any falsification or concealment, which highlighted his conscientiousness, sense of responsibility, and overall perspective.

He sacrificed his personal reputation, but preserved the group's honor and firmly established the company on the moral high ground.

How selfless and dedicated!
"and then."

Fan Wanli's expression was unreadable.

"Then I chose to call the police. I believe the police will give such thugs the punishment they deserve."

Lu Xu felt that he had done everything perfectly, and even if he didn't receive public praise from the chairman, he was sure that the chairman would remember him. But little did he know that the result was not what he expected.

"What kind of punishment is appropriate? Someone punched you, and you want them to spend the rest of their life in jail?"

Lu Xu was stunned, staring at the expressionless Chairman Fan with disbelief, guessing that his mind had gone blank.

His plan was flawless, so what was wrong with it?
"Call immediately."

Fan Wanli said, "Release the person. Then you go to their door in person to apologize."

Lu Xu was completely dumbfounded.

Let go of everything.

Should the person who was assaulted go to the assailant's home to apologize?
Does this make sense?
At this moment, he wanted to shout, "Is there no justice? Is there no law?!"
"Did you hear me?"

Lu Xu snapped out of his daze, feeling dizzy from the gap between his imagination and reality. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Chairman, why?"

"No reason."

In front of the media cameras, Fan Wanli, who is approachable and amiable, reveals a suffocating ruthlessness and domineering presence.

"Now, make the call."

Lu Xu clenched his fists, his eyes trembling with resentment, struggle, and even a hint of grievance.

But just as his subordinates did with him, he had no right to say no to Chairman Fan.

"Director Ji, this is Lu Xu."

Standing in front of the desk, he slowly took out his phone and chose to obey orders.

"It's just a minor disagreement, no need to make a big deal out of it. Let that bricklayer go..."

"Mr. Lu..."

His tone was strange, and there seemed to be something he couldn't say on the other end of the phone; he stammered.

"Any questions?"

"This one……"

"Director Ji, please speak frankly."

"Mr. Lu, that bricklayer wasn't here with me yesterday."

The other person said in a low voice.

Lu Xu squinted, unconsciously gripping his phone tighter. "What does this mean?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I can't say."

Lu Xu's brows furrowed visibly, his mind racing.

It wasn't with me yesterday.

can not say.

Obvious.

They definitely didn't release it voluntarily.

The bricklayer was even less likely to leave on his own.

Then.

Where have people gone?

"Ji Suo..."

"Mr. Lu, I really can't say, please don't ask."

The other party didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and their tone gradually became more forceful and resolute.

"Mr. Lu, I still have work to do, I'll hang up now."

The call was quickly cut off.

Lu Xu forgot to put down his phone; his mind went blank.

"what happened?"

"The station chief said the person is no longer with them."

Upon hearing this, Fan Wanli's expression darkened slightly, but he did not say anything harsh.

"You go out first."

Lu Xu opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to ask something, but seeing the chairman's expression, all the words stuck in his throat. He put down his phone, turned around, and was about to leave.

But before he even reached the door, the office door was pushed open from the outside.

The secretary, flustered and hurried, stammered, "Chairman...they..."

Sitting in the highest chair at Greenland Group, his expression was unpredictable, and Fan Wanli subconsciously turned his head to look at him, lost in thought.

Several unfamiliar men entered with the secretary; they all had buzz cuts, wore executive jackets, and had unremarkable appearances, all with a rigid, old-fashioned look.

wrong.

more specifically.

They didn't come in with the secretary; they barged in.

Fan Wanli's seat clearly indicated his prominent status, yet this outstanding entrepreneur, philanthropist, and major taxpayer of Shacheng was blatantly ignored by this group of rude men of unknown origin.

"You must be Lu Xu?"

The leader stared at Lu Xu, who was "colliding head-on".

Lu Xu's brows, which had not yet fully relaxed, furrowed again. Looking at this group of low-key yet high-profile strangers, his heart suddenly clenched for some reason.

"What are you doing here? Who let you in?"

He reprimanded him sternly.

The other party ignored him and, after confirming Lu Xu's identity, took out a black ID.

"Take a trip with us."

The police officers would at least give a reason, such as being suspected of something, but they didn't.

Simple, direct, and unassailable.

As he watched the document flash by, Lu Xu's pupils contracted sharply, and the floor beneath his feet seemed to be pulled away, causing him to fall and sink endlessly.

The overwhelming sense of panic made his breathing quicken involuntarily, until he finally suffocated, and beads of sweat began to seep uncontrollably from his forehead.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

"take away."

The two men stepped forward, flanking the other side.

Lu Xu quickly turned his head to look at Chairman Fan, like a drowning person looking for a lifeline.

"Chairman Fan—"

Given his hard work and great achievements, the company should have offered him a helping hand, both morally and logically. However, Chairman Fan Wanli ignored his plea for help, remaining silent and indifferent.

A dazed Lu Xu was grabbed by both arms and led away from the office, his expression blank, his steps unsteady, like a walking corpse.

Throughout the entire event, the group of uninvited guests did not interact with Fan Wanli in any way, nor did they have any conflict with him; it was as if their only target was Lu Xu.

The office fell silent again.

The secretary was at a loss, "Chairman..."

"go out."

His amiable mask crumbled unconsciously. Fan Wanli's voice remained relatively calm, but his face was covered with a chilling, morgue-like aura, frighteningly gloomy. (End of Chapter)
