Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 420 Come on, let's fight!

There was a pause of a few seconds, then the person on the other end immediately became enthusiastic: "Oh, Chen Hui, what's up? Go ahead and say it."

Chen Hui said, "I'm in Xingcheng, doing a business deal, a one million yuan transaction. But I got ripped off. One guy is the son of an artillery brigade commander, and the other is the son of the director of a military hospital. You know where they are, right?"

Director Liu said, "I know. Chagan is just a small place. Besides, we deal with the military all the time, and I know this person well. Should I go and talk to him? Does your father know about this money?"

Chen Hui said, "I know, I definitely have to report about this money. Uncle Liu, there's no need to ask anyone for help, it's not worth it. I'm in the right, and besides, he's just a senior colonel and a major general. Uncle Liu, please do me a favor."

Director Liu paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Is it worth it?"

Chen Hui said, "It's worth it. I want to make this a big deal and see what happens. I run a legitimate business; there's nothing shameful about it. I'll talk to my dad. When can you get it done?"

Director Gao rubbed his hands together, then turned to Xiao Wei and asked, "Zhang Wei, right? What does your buddy's family do?"

Director Liu asked, "Uncle, you immediately took the lead in this matter."

Chen Hui said, "Don't worry, Uncle Liu, it's nothing serious. I know what I'm doing. Just wait a moment." He turned to Xiao Wei and asked, "Xiao Wei, how long will it be?"

Xiao Wei looked down at the cigarette in his hand and said, "Wait at the hospital."

Chen Hui said over the phone, "Never mind the hospital for now. Just find some excuse to stop operations for a week. If the brigade commander or anything like that needs to find you, let him come find me. I'll stay in Xingcheng."

Director Liu felt relieved; it was good that it wasn't the hospital. Although the power company didn't need to handle the work, the hospital was a different story, and he was under a lot of pressure. He said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. We need to prepare. Let's start the day after tomorrow." His tone was much more relaxed.

Chen Hui said, "Okay, thanks Uncle Liu. I'll come over and treat you to drinks when I'm done." After hanging up, he said to Xiao Wei, "Starting the day after tomorrow, for a week. Let's just wait here."

Xiao Wei nodded and said to Wang Gang, "Aren't you going to tell your dad?"

Director Gao said, "Look at the mess this has made, it's partly my fault. But we're all on the same side, so everything can be discussed and resolved, right? What do you say, Xiao Gang? Da Jun, say something."

Zhang Jun licked his lips but didn't say anything. Xiao Wei said, "To be honest, a million or two isn't a big deal for us. Whether we buy a house or not doesn't really affect us. You said it yourself, this place is far from Fengtian, and I can't reach it. I want to buy this building because my brother is settling down here and I want to find something for my sister-in-law to do. Whether she can make money or not doesn't matter."

But you guys have made this a bit disgusting. If we hadn't agreed on something beforehand, that would have been fine. Even if we had, we could have discussed it properly and come up with a solution. But you guys came in all high and mighty, acting like you're so capable. Fine, let's have a showdown then. I have plenty of time to play with you.

Hospitals are special places; they're for treating and saving lives. It's not worth dragging the patients into our little problem. Your artillery brigade can just stay closed for a few days, or even a month if a week isn't enough. We have plenty of reasons; I refuse to believe we can't figure it out.

Director Gao said, "Let's not talk about this out of anger. This is my fault, okay? Xiao Gang, you should say something too. Let's close the door and be a family, and both of us can take a step back, okay? I made a mistake in handling this matter, and I apologize to both of you. I'll think of a way to discuss this further, okay? Making a big fuss won't be good for anyone."

He's in a bind now. If things really escalate, everyone else will be fine, but he'll definitely be the one who gets away. Wang Gang and Li Weibing's anger will eventually be directed at him. The power industry can ignore both local and military authorities, and they can't do anything about the power industry either. But he can't. In terms of rank, he's just a colonel. Dealing with him will be too easy. What was supposed to be a favor has turned into a huge pit for him.

Wang Gang glanced at Li Weibing; both of them looked as if they were constipated.

Just like how local rich kids get rich by getting approvals.

Actually, they don't have many opportunities for large-scale business like this, mainly because their fathers aren't high-ranking enough. Not to mention, there are several lieutenant generals and generals in Chagan City alone, while this place has the configuration of a deputy military region. Which family doesn't have several children? Not to mention the real military region.

The military is different from the civilian sector. In the civilian sector, even those of slightly lower rank can still put up a fight. It's all about qualifications and authority, and personal connections play a very important role.

If people in local areas still have to go around in circles and use some insincere tactics when doing things, the military is completely straightforward and headstrong. This atmosphere has not only created two completely different styles of doing things in local areas and the military, but also created huge differences between the second-generation leaders of the two sides. In short, local areas rely on behind-the-scenes intrigue, while the military relies on direct pressure.

Director Gao kept trying to smooth things over and take the blame himself: "This is all my fault. Please calm down. I'll apologize to you, okay? We're all young people, it's not wrong to speak a little harshly. If you're angry, take it out on me. Let's sit down and talk it over, okay?"

The phone on the table rang. Director Gao glanced at it, but still got up to answer it. The caller was the director himself: "Xiao Gao?"

Gao Chang said, "The director is me."

The director asked, "What happened?"

Director Gao said in a low voice, "Dajun did talk to me about it a few days ago, and he came today. Then Wang Gang and the guards came over just now and also want some, so we're at an impasse. Director, what do you think I should do, caught in the middle?"

The director said, "Brigade Commander Wang just called, and I also called the power company to ask. Wang Gang and the guard, please have them come to my office."

Director Gao put down the phone, thought for a moment, turned back to the sofa and said, "Gangzi, Weibing, Director Wang wants you two to go to his office. Go sit for a while." Wang Gang stood up without saying a word and walked out. Li Weibing glanced at Xiao Wei and followed him.

As soon as the two stepped outside, Director Gao raised an eyebrow and let out a sigh of relief.
