Chapter 41: Director Luo of the Beijing Office

  That woman was naturally Xiao Xingya, the boss of Haitian Real Estate.

  Xiao Xingya was explaining to the police officer with all her might, without noticing Chen Gong. Chen Gong saw that it was an old acquaintance and it wasn't suitable to reveal his identity, so he told Huang Haibo that he had something to do and left "Jin Bi Hui Huang" first.

  On the second day, Chen Gong went shopping alone to see if there was anything valuable and returned to Fu Hai to send two gifts to Wei Shuqin and Song Huiyun.

  Rings, necklaces, watches... Chen Gong thought as he walked, still couldn't think of anything suitable. Forget it, I'll think about it after lunch, Chen Gong happened to pass by a Western restaurant and walked in.

  "Waiter, I'll have a steak, black pepper, seven-tenths done." Having said that, Chen Gong found a seat and sat down.

  Chen Gong propped up his neck with his hand, still thinking about the gift, "Chen Gong, is that you? How did you end up in Beijing?" Chen Gong turned his head around, what a coincidence, it was Xiao Xingya. The beauty really was a feast for the eyes, Chen Gong didn't even want to move his neck anymore.

  "Xiao Jie, you're also here! I came to Beijing to follow up on a project and it's all done now. I'll be heading back in two days." Chen Gong said with a smile to Xiao Xingya.

  "Come, let's play a game, anyway there aren't many people, with you it makes three." Chen Gong couldn't refuse Xiao Xingya's invitation, walked to Xiao Xingya's table, "Waiter, I want my steak sent over here." After finishing speaking, Chen Gong sat down beside Xiao Xingya. Actually, there was a seat across from them, but the man sitting on the outside seat didn't move, so Xiao Xingya sat inside on this side, and Chen Gong also sat on the same side as Xiao Xingya. Today, Xiao Xingya wore a white dress that made her look nothing like a domineering female boss.

  "Xiao Xing, this is..." Chen Gong said with an official tone that was already familiar with the ways of the court.

  "Deputy Director Luo of the Southern Provincial Office in Beijing, Luo Hui Cai, was originally the director of the Fuhai Municipal Office in Beijing. Later, it was said that there were too many offices in Beijing, so they were all dismantled and only those at the provincial level were retained. Director Luo, you know about Xinqiao District in Fuhai, this is a new political star in Xinqiao District, who became the town head at a young age and also serves on the management committee of the newly established Fuhai Industrial Park."

  Director Luo, being a bit chubby, stood up and pushed his stool far away, only then did he shake hands with Chen Gong.

  Chen Gong is very polite and would rather have one more friend than one more enemy, "Director Luo will be transferred to the southern province as a high-ranking official in the future, you must take care of your little brother."

  Everyone likes to hear flattering words, Luo Hui Cai was delighted, he dreams of returning to the south as a real leader, there is oil and water here, but also made a lot of money, people always want to return to their roots, "Mayor Chen joked, you are General Manager Xiao's friend, if I can help, just speak up."

  Several people chatted for a few sentences, and then Chen Gong asked about Xiao Xingya's purpose in coming to Beijing. Of course, he didn't mention seeing her at the entrance of "Jin Bi Hui Huang" last night.

  Listening to Xiangya's narrative, Chen Gong understood that Hai Tian Real Estate had a "Golden Splendor" song city in the capital, but recently the Municipal Public Security Bureau was conducting a thorough investigation of yellow, gambling and drug-related activities, and her song city was also found to have problems. This thing, if you say it's serious then it's serious, if you say it's not serious then it's not serious, it just depends on what the leaders say.

  Luo Hui Cai interjected, "If handled properly, at most it will be a half-year suspension and a fine of tens of thousands of yuan. The circumstances were not severe to begin with; if handled improperly, it may be shut down directly and fined hundreds of thousands of yuan. I also specifically arranged for the director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau's Social Order Management Division to come today. If he minimizes the issue, it will be easy."

  Chen Gong was dissatisfied, "Minimize? Even if handled well, we still have to suspend business for half a year? The loss is too great, who can find someone to avoid closing and fines?"

  Luo Hui was displeased with Chen Gong, thinking he was a country bumpkin. "This is already the lightest punishment, otherwise it would be a complete disaster. There are some things you don't understand. Do you think this is a trivial matter? Do you think the head of the Beijing Public Security Bureau has time to come out and see you for no reason at all? The head of the Public Security Bureau and at least one deputy minister from the Ministry of Public Security coming forward might be able to resolve it, but can we reach that level? You'll understand once you've seen more."

  Chen Gong let out a sigh and stopped talking, thinking to himself that this could be considered helping Xiao Jie. It seems like he needs to think of a way to help Xiao Jie. Deep down, Chen Gong couldn't bear the thought of beautiful women having troubles, especially someone like Xiao Xingya. He secretly glanced at her worried eyes, and his heart was "shattered" with sympathy.

  Chen Gong asked while forking his steak, "Xiao Jie, when and where did you guys plan to meet? Can I go take a look?"

  Lu Huicai was just about to get Chen Gong out of the way, but Xiao Xingya spoke up first, "Alright, let's go to the teahouse across the street and wait there after we finish eating."

  Along the way, Chen Gong wanted to know why Xiao Xingya was interested in coming to Beijing to do Song City. Xiao Xingya's explanation was that this is under the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he wants to first set up a song city here, then the whole hotel, and make friends with some real dignitaries of Huaxia Country. But it turns out that everyone who comes to this song city are just small-time henchmen, and the real dignitaries don't know what they like to play with. Now isn't it good? Not only did he fail to make connections with the dignitaries, but also got involved in a seizure case, truly not worth it.

  Chen Gong was somewhat perplexed, and took the opportunity to ask everything at once. He asked why Xiang Xingya had to come alone to "open up the market" when she could have gotten to know officials in the capital through high-ranking officials in the southern province. Xiang Xingya stretched out her ten fingers: "Chen Gong, truly getting to know the nobles of the capital and having a deep connection with them, belonging to the orthodox faction, is no more than this number in the southern province. Do you think all the nobles are people in the same circle? They are each on their own side, and even if I were lucky enough to enter that circle, not everything can be handled, after all, there are still many potential 'enemies'".

  Xiao Xingya is indeed a clever woman, able to make such an analysis without even reaching the higher levels.

  The three of them waited in the private room for over an hour, until Chen Gong stretched his waist and said, "I should have just called Director Hao myself to get him to handle it. Now we've wasted so much time here, and I still haven't even gone to choose a gift."

  "What a captain, the frame is not generally big!" Chen Gong's words made Luo Deputy Director spit out tea water, and Xiao Xingya also looked at Chen Gong, thinking, yes, just a captain, but he is an official in the capital, put outside may not be worse than those mayors, bear with it.

  Deputy Director Luo was very unhappy, "It's already good that we can invite him to come, waiting a little longer won't hurt, if you have something urgent, go ahead and take care of it first."

  Xiao Xingya had a good impression of Chen Gong, and since he might be the son-in-law of the mayor of Fuhai City, she naturally came out to make some small talk. "This captain is also like that, I still like punctual people. The three of us are all from the southern province, as long as we handle things well, it's fine." At this time, the three of them fell into silence again.

  Deputy Director Luo's phone rang, Deputy Director Luo's eyes lit up, "It's here, you wait, I'll go downstairs to meet him." After finishing the call, "Captain Wu, have you arrived? Yes, yes, I'll come down right away to pick you up, uh-huh, that's it."

  Chen Gong looked at Luo Hui as they left the private room, "Xiao Jie, what kind of official is the deputy director of the Beijing Office?"

  Xiao Xingya said to Chen Gong, "Take Luo Deputy Director as an example. If he were in the southern province, he would probably be a department head. In Fuhai City, he might be at the bureau level. Their Beijing office is mainly responsible for liaison and coordination between the southern province and Beijing, and to fight for more information and resources for the southern province."

  Two people were chatting when they heard Luo Hui Cai's voice guiding the way, "Slow down, Captain Wu, it's just ahead in the left-hand private room, come on."

  The door opened and walking behind Luo Hui was a middle-aged man who looked very sturdy, with dark skin, not looking like a policeman at all, but rather a thug.

  "Director Xiao, this is Wu Dadao, the captain of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. Captain Wu, this is Director Xiao from Haitian Real Estate in Southern Province. 'Jinbi Huang' is one of her properties. And this is... uh, a township official from Southern Province who we met while on business in Beijing." Luo Huicai introduced everyone one by one.

  Xiao Xingya stretched out her right hand to shake hands with Wu Dadao, who was also surprised by Xiao Xingya's appearance and forgot to let go of her hand for a long time. He probably still wanted to use his other hand to touch Xiao Xingya's white skin, which made Xiao Xingya exert some effort to pull her hand back. "Quickly sit down, Wu Dadao, let's talk about the main matter."

  "Wu Team Leader also came back to his senses, "Alright, alright. That Xiao Zong or whatever, the matter of your Song City, I asked our Deputy Team Leader about it this morning and found out there were scenes of drug use and prostitution, the problem is very serious." As he spoke, he let out a sigh, as if he was at a loss for how to handle it."

  Chen Gong saw it with his own eyes, and Xiao Xingya naturally understood even more clearly that Wu Dui's attitude was a negotiating chip for the time being, and the price would definitely not be low.

  Xiao Xingya continued to persuade Captain Wu, her enchanting big eyes staring at him as she said that Captain Wu would definitely have a way to solve it, and praised him for a while.

  "Actually, this matter has gotten serious. If Song Cheng is directly killed, it's not a good solution." Wu Daqidu thought for a moment, putting on a thoughtful expression.

  Xiao Xingya slowly took out a package from beside her, wrapped in newspaper, and placed it on the table. Xiao Xingya opened the top of the newspaper to reveal 100,000 yuan in cash. "Captain Wu, this is our first meeting, just a small token of appreciation. I'm entrusting you with the matter at Song City. If everything goes smoothly, consider this just a gift for our first meeting. You can be sure that I'll thank you again later."

  Commander Wu counted the bundles of money and didn't put them directly into his bag. He moved his chair a bit, bumping it against Xiao Xingya's chair.

  Captain Wu was very direct, pulling Xiao Xingya's hand onto his lap, staring straight at Xiao Xingya's chest. "Alright, alright, since President Xiao is so sincere, I, Wu, will definitely do my best to help. Let's see if we can get everything in order and reopen within half a year. As for the fine, we'll try to keep it to the minimum standard." As he spoke, he rubbed Xingya's hand against his leg.

  Xiao Xingya endured for a few seconds, but couldn't bear it anymore. She thought to herself that even in Fuhai, she was someone who could shake the ground with just one step. This policeman was just a deadbeat, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

  Wu Da Dui Zhang's expression was slightly awkward, and he continued to probe Xiao Xing Ya's bottom line. His hand reached out towards Xiao Xing Ya's thigh, just touching the tender skin when Chen Gong stood up.
