Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 547 The Loan Certificate Has Been Issued

Deputy Director Liu glanced at Director Lin indifferently and said, "Whatever you do, you always talk about relationships. We've known each other for a long time, and everyone knows what's going on. Didn't your son get into fights before? If it wasn't serious, that's fine, but you're always running into each other."

But this time it definitely won't work. You either take your son back now, and that's it. Or we can investigate, find out what happened, and I'll report the village's findings to higher authorities for them to handle. It's your choice, okay?"

Director Lin said, "Director Liu, can't you really help? We've known each other for a long time. Has our neighborhood committee ever let you down when the office needs something? We've been together for so many years, can't you even show some consideration? I didn't think of anything else, but he can pay for the medical expenses, nutrition, and lost wages, right? Just help this lady out, okay? Don't worry, she knows what she's doing and won't let you down."

Deputy Director Liu said, "Director Lin, do you think I was just joking to scare you? Let me say it again, everything I said is true. Our police station can only investigate, and we have to investigate the facts. This matter needs to be handed over to the Municipal Bureau for handling. Do you understand? I'm already doing you a favor. As for what exactly happened in this statement, is it you who doesn't know, or am I?"

Director Lin sat down and let out a heavy sigh. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Director Liu, just tell me. Who did he find? What's the relationship? Even though I, Old Mrs. Lin, am old and can't do much anymore, I still know a few people. I really can't stand this nonsense."

Deputy Director Liu nodded and said, "Alright, then investigate. We need to detain your son for forty-eight hours. He has connections in the city, with high-ranking officials. Go find them. I have other things to do, so I can't keep you company any longer, okay?"

Director Lin chuckled and said, "Director Liu, just say what you want, okay? Are you trying to fool a child? That little punk hasn't even grown his hair yet, and you call him a high-ranking official? Why don't you just say mayor or party secretary? Does he even know which way the government gates face? If he really has the ability, why is he so desperate to come to this poor place and ask for this little bit of land?"

Deputy Director Liu said, "He's the boss of Brothers Industrial Group. Do you even know what a group company is? You think you know someone? Go check with the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Oh, the provincial bureau, you can't find anything there. He's a member of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference. Who do you need to contact? That's why he's so magnanimous and doesn't bother arguing with you, understand? He's not pursuing this, but you're still making a fuss."

The robust elderly woman beside him asked in surprise, "Director Liu, are you serious?"

Liu nodded and said, "You can't reach the city level, go check the district level, the district people's congress, see what they do."

The old lady glanced at Director Lin and said, "Why don't we go back first and think it over?"

Director Lin stood up abruptly and said, "Go back. There's no place in this world where you can reason with people. This is too much of a bullying." He stormed out of Deputy Director Liu's office. The old lady smiled at Deputy Director Liu, tugged at Director Lin's son who was still sitting, and the two of them left as well.

Deputy Director Liu picked up the transcript, glanced at it, then tossed it dismissively onto the table and shook his head.

Once outside, the old lady Zhuang and Director Lin's son caught up with Director Lin. The old lady Zhuang said, "Let's go back first. I'll ask around."

Director Lin said, "What's the point of asking? Liu wouldn't dare lie about this. This time he's really met his match. Damn it, with all that ability, what are you doing causing trouble in this godforsaken place? May you suffer a terrible death."

Her son asked from the side, "Mom, is that it? I took all that beating for nothing?"

Director Lin glared at his son and said, "Get out of here! I hate seeing you. You're always bragging about how capable you are, but you can't even beat someone with that small frame. You're a useless piece of trash."

When Director Lin and Old Lady Zhuang returned to the neighborhood committee, the power had already been cut off.

Director Lin, furious, pulled the switch and asked, "Why is the power out again? Did you call and ask?"

One staff member said, "I asked, and they said this area is going to be redeveloped, and the entire area will be without power for the time being. Also, the neighborhood committee called and said that the district criticized the neighborhood committee for obstructing some kind of investment, and that we need to write a report and submit it. They also said that we need to cooperate with some brother company's construction plan."

Director Lin plopped down in the chair.

……

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui returned to the Electric Power Guesthouse, parked their car, and went to the office on the second floor.

Geng Hui, Aunt Wang, and Xia Maosheng were all sitting there talking.

Chen Xiao said he had an upset stomach today and didn't come over.

Aunt Wang immediately noticed the injury on Xiaowei's face, jumped to her feet, and then saw the torn clothes on his body. She came over and asked, "What happened here? Did you get into a fight?"

Xiao Wei said, "Yeah, we got into a fight, and I couldn't control myself. It's okay, I didn't suffer any losses, just my clothes got torn."

Aunt Wang said, "She hasn't even suffered any loss, but her face is all swollen. Who was it with? Did they call the police?"

Chen Hui said, "Don't worry, Auntie, would we let him get the short end of the stick? Didn't you see how Xiao Wei beat that kid? His whole face was swollen and deformed."

Aunt Wang went to the side, rinsed a towel with hot water, handed it to Xiaowei, and asked, "What are you supporting?"

Xiao Wei took the towel and covered his face, saying, "I ran into an unreasonable person who was making a fuss and got me angry. It's okay now."

Aunt Wang asked, "What did the police station say? Should we call your uncle back?"

Chen Hui said, "No need for Auntie, my dad knows about this."

Xiao Wei said, "That's it then. Why would I ask them for money? We only had a fight, how could we possibly get him arrested? Forget it. Auntie, don't be angry. It's really nothing. I just got a stun gunshot wound to the face. It's not serious, I'll be fine tomorrow."

Aunt Wang slapped Xiaowei hard across the face and said, "You brat, you're such a worrywart. Who do you think you are now? What could possibly warrant a fight? What if something happens? When Xiaohong comes back tonight, she'll have to teach you a lesson."

Xia Maosheng said quietly from the side, "Auntie, let it go. When Xiao Hong comes back, it's hard to say who will punish whom." Geng Hui burst out laughing.

Aunt Wang laughed too, and slapped Xiao Wei again, saying, "Go, apply hot water to it so the color will fade and heal faster."

Chen Hui's phone rang, and he took it to the corridor to answer it.

After saying a few words, Chen Hui ran back excitedly and said, "Xiao Wei, it's done! The loan certificate is in! Guess how much they gave me?"

Xiao Wei said, "Judging from how excited you are, I know it can't be less. How much?"

Chen Hui said, "Yesterday I resubmitted the materials for Xingcheng Longcheng and the several plots of land here at headquarters according to your plan, plus our noodle shops and factories, and we set a price of 260 million. Isn't that amazing? My mom said she didn't even have to say anything; following the normal process, that's all we got. My mom said she thinks it's enough for us and didn't say anything more. Is it enough? If you think it's too little, I'll ask my mom to talk to you again."

Xiao Wei said, "That's enough. We can't use it all. Let's avoid owing favors if we can. We'll deal with it later if we really need more."

Chen Hui said, "That's what I thought too. By the way, ICBC asked us to send a copy of the design institute's drawings and budget for filing."
