Chapter Fifty-Seven Before Departure

  Many people present have already quietly settled their accounts with the boss and left, it seems that Uncle Knife Scar's reputation is well-known.

  Chen Gong and Xiao Xingya exchanged a smile, it seemed that this group of people was not well-informed, their big brother had already gone in but didn't know, Chen Gong thought to himself, I've called the police for a while now, why haven't they arrived yet.

  Several "little brothers" glared at the boss with a fierce and sinister look, knowing that the boss was already afraid of them. One of them had already kicked out, causing the boss to drop the kitchen knife in his hand, while the other two stepped forward and pinned down the boss's hands.

  Chen Gong knew he wasn't a match for him, but still had to calm him down first. "Hold on, Knife Scar's men are getting more and more out of line."

  Baldy heard Chen Gong's words and wondered if he was a kindred spirit. He took a look at Xiao Xingya beside Chen Gong, such a beautiful girl, it seemed that this guy wasn't an ordinary person. "I don't know which circle this brother is from?"

  Chen Gong knew that Baldy was probing his background, "Don't ask where I'm from, I'm not a local, just met Scarface Uncle two days ago. Scarface Uncle's temper is really fiery." Chen Gong then described the appearance and characteristics of Scarface Uncle.

  Baldy didn't know what to do now, and couldn't understand Chen Gong's idea. "Originally familiar with our boss, brother has something to say, just say it, you don't have to pay for that dish, let's just consider this a black shop."

  Chen Gong saw that he had a bit of a relationship with the bald man, so he spoke directly, "Brother, I think this is a small matter. It's not easy for others to open a store and do business. You all seem like people with heads and faces, why bother about those few dollars."

  Although what Chen Gong said made Baldy feel a little excited, who doesn't want to be a respectable person, but the fact is that he ran out of money after singing K today, otherwise he wouldn't have used such a dirty trick. "You just don't care about this brother, in short, I will host justice for everyone, this store is a black shop."

  Xiao Xingya was making a phone call to the police on the side, and was told that a team of nearby police were rushing over here and might appear at any time. She walked up to the bald man and said, "I guess this big brother probably didn't have enough money to pay the bill." Then she hehe laughed.

  This suddenly stimulated several thugs, each of whom rolled up their sleeves and got into a fighting stance, waiting for Bald Brother's order.

  Baldy didn't understand the situation and said to Chen Gong, "I'm saying, brother, your girlfriend is intentionally picking a fight, right?"

  Chen Gong didn't mince words either, "What's with you bunch of scum!"

  Baldy picked up an empty wine bottle and slammed it onto the table, whereupon the bottle split in two. The part that remained in his hand had a jagged edge, looking as if he was about to stab Chen Gong with it.

  "Don't move, we are the police!" As soon as the voice fell, four policemen rushed over like the wind, quickly pinning the bald man to the ground. The several small hooligans had not yet reacted when they were scared into not daring to move. To prevent them from escaping in all directions, the police immediately put handcuffs on the hands of the several people who were connected hand in hand.

  Chen Gong stood up with a sense of justice, "Police comrades, I can testify that these hooligans didn't pay for their meal and threatened the boss, planning to smash the store. Moreover, they just tried to assault someone, you all saw it, they should be severely punished!"

  As the boss and his wife stood up to expose the truth, the crowd around them became witnesses, and the situation changed instantly.

  Although the bald head had his hands cuffed, his mouth was not honest. "You few little police officers would do well to let me go, do you know who I'm mixed up with? Scarface Uncle, humph, are you scared? Release me immediately, your public security bureau leaders will all have to toast our Scarface Uncle."

  The bald man finished speaking with great satisfaction. Several police officers exchanged a glance, and the lead officer said, "Baldy, are you new to Jianghe City?"

  "Bald head was straightforward and confident, 'Yeah, I brought my few younger brothers back from the neighboring city, it was Knife Scar Uncle who arranged for us to go, collect some debts, take some money to spend, now can you let us go?'"

  The leading policeman patted the bald man's shoulder, "Brother, go back to the police station and recount the details of the debt collection just now. We might deal with you more leniently if you cooperate. Oh, before you leave, settle the bill with the boss, if you don't have money, leave something valuable behind."

  Several bald men were taken to the police car, but one of them was still shouting, "You're wrong, I'm a man of Scarface Uncle, I'm a man of Scarface Uncle. Are you new here and don't know the rules?"

  One of the police officers said, "Stop yelling, I know you're a subordinate of Scarface. Scarface is also locked up in the station right now, and I reckon he won't be getting out this lifetime. You're one of his underlings, so it's convenient to take care of some other things at the same time."

  Xiao Xingya saw that the matter had been settled, so she asked Chen Gong if he wanted to continue drinking. Chen Gong didn't want to drink anymore either. What's the point of competing with a woman in drinking? "You win, Sister Xiao. I can't outdrink you. Let's go back and rest together."

  Xiao Xingya punched Chen Gong, "Whoever rests with you will rest together when we get back."

  Chen Gong made a helpless expression and thought to himself, what's the difference anyway.

  ……

  The boss of Youyou Company is more timid compared to Xia Zong of Ouya. When meeting Chen Gong and Xiao Xingya, he specifically chose a remote tea house, saying that being seen by local government officials would have a bad influence. In fact, the reason was simple: he was afraid of being seen, and later on, it wouldn't be easy to discuss compensation for relocation expenses.

  This time, the negotiation was also dominated by Xiao Xingya. After Chen Gong introduced the situation of Fuhai Industrial Park, Xiao Xingya kept talking about various unrelated things, in short, she managed to link some unrelated things together and said that their company's products had undergone tremendous changes in terms of market, sales volume, logistics, etc.

  After Chen Gong's observation over the past few days, the management of this Jinxiu Industrial Park is really chaotic and irresponsible to enterprises, and many shortcomings have been pointed out. In comparison, as long as it is a clear-headed person, they will choose Fuhai.

  "Because the boss of our company is under a lot of pressure, although I'm interested, I don't dare to make any promises. Thank you both for your detailed explanation today, I'm very interested in the Fuhai Industrial Park, but I still think that after we've discussed and settled on the relocation costs, I can give you an answer. Sorry again for taking up half a day of your time. I'll leave first, and I should be in touch with you both later."

  Things often go against one's wishes, and Liu Ping, deputy director of the Jinxiu Industrial Park, happened to be playing mahjong in this teahouse suite for business purposes. Due to concerns about being investigated by the discipline inspection committee, he also chose such a remote location.

  Saw the boss of a friend's company walking past the window, furrowed his brow and thought to himself: "How does this guy have time to run so far just to drink tea?"

  At the moment of doubt, Chen Gong and Xiao Xingya flashed by the window again. For Chen Gong, Liu Ping may not have any impression, after all, he had only seen him once. But for a beauty like Xiao Xingya, Comrade Liu Ping was unforgettable. At this time, Liu Ping reacted, they must have been drinking tea and discussing something together earlier, and what they were discussing was likely to be digging the corner of the wall.

  Liu Ping slammed the tile he had just drawn heavily onto the mahjong table, making the other three people somewhat unhappy. After losing money, how did his character become so poor?

  The two of them rested in the hotel for a day, briefly summarizing their gains over the past few days. Chen Gong also listed out the pros and cons of Jinxiu Industrial Park to Xiao Xingya in detail, who listened with admiration, thinking that Chen Gong was indeed diligent and studious, having put in a lot of effort over the past few days. If he could apply what he had learned to the development of Fuhai Industrial Park, then the future of Fuhai Industrial Park would surely be a thriving scene.

  At dinner time, Chen Hao, who knew that the two would fly back to Fuhai the next night, also put down his things and accompanied them for their last meal.

  Chen Hao listened to the two men's gains over the past few days and also wanted to help Chen Gong a bit. "Brother, I spoke with Father on the phone yesterday, he hasn't been in Jiangnan Province these past few days, otherwise he would have liked to meet you, this rascal, and teach you some official ways, so let me tell you, if it's not urgent, stay for another week, within seven days he will definitely return to Jianghe."

  Chen Gong also wanted to communicate with Er Shu, but Fu Hai's side really couldn't leave him, and there were many things waiting for him to deal with. Moreover, Xiao Xingya's company also had matters that required her to make decisions.

  Xiao Xingya also wanted to meet the Secretary of Jiangnan Provincial Committee, "Chen Gong, why not stay a few more days and let me also admire your second uncle's demeanor?"

  Chen Gong shook his head and said that the Huaxia Steel Group would soon start construction, and he had to follow up all the way. A high-rise building of ten thousand feet starts from the ground, if there is a problem with this project, it will be difficult for Fuhai Industrial Park to have major development in the future.

  Chen Hao had wanted to get drunk with Chen Gong again, but Chen Gong explained that he still had to go to the Jinxiu Garden District Management Committee tomorrow to make some connections and bring back some useful things.

  Chen Hao had a few drinks and started speaking more freely, "Little brother, after you go back, you have to take good care of your little sister for me. Such a beautiful woman, you must be under a lot of pressure, it's normal to have strong competition, what I'm afraid of is that there won't be any competition, right?"

  Xiao Xingya, like Song Huiyun, is older than Chen Gong, but Xiao Xingya is only two or three years older than Chen Gong. With her perfect skin tone and huge work pressure that hasn't left any marks of time on her face, she looks very similar to Chen Gong in appearance.

  While hesitating on how to answer the question, Xiao Xingya volunteered to clarify, "Huang Ge, I don't have any relationship with Chen Gong, just ordinary friends, besides......" Xiao Xingya originally wanted to say that Chen Gong already had a girlfriend, but she swallowed her words at the last minute. Saying it out loud would indeed be very sad, and what about herself then? Although the two had not confirmed any romantic relationship, their mutual affection was an unspoken understanding between them.

  Chen Gong also knew what Xiao Xingya was going to say next, and he felt a little painful in his heart, so he took over the conversation, "Let's talk about it later, my career has just started, where do I have time to fall in love? And there are so many things in Xiaoye's company, I don't want to affect her either, let's talk about it later."

  Two people's hearts were unexpectedly so painful, Xiao Xingya drank a cup by herself and thought in her heart, if Chen Gong hadn't recognized Wei Shuqin, would I have had a chance with her? Xiao Xingya's thoughts at this moment were surprisingly the same as Chen Gong's.

  Chen Hao looked at the two weirdos and shook his head, repeatedly advising the two young people to stop being stubborn, why make a fuss in bed when you can make up at the foot of the bed!
