Chapter 175, 12,000
"This cannot be done."
No matter how sincere you are, there's nothing I can do.
The incident at Baihua Hotel is secondary; if it blows up, the district government will be held accountable.
I advise you not to get your hopes up.
Let's go quickly.
Don't bother asking anyone else for help; they're not as easy to talk to as I am.
"If this gets to the ears of Baihua's senior management, you'll be in danger."
Director Zhou is leaving.
Zheng Zhiguo was so anxious that he knelt down before him.
"Director Zhou, please help me, don't go."
Listen to me, I... I'm not targeting Baihua Hotel.
It doesn't mean anything by it.
I only need a video from one mainland Chinese client.
Please help me.
That woman is from our county; we need her, and I must get her.
Don't worry, this video will absolutely not be leaked; I'm personally in charge of controlling it.
It certainly won't affect the Baihua Hotel.
If you're still worried, you can edit and trim the video.
Remove some elements related to the Baihua Hotel.
Now you can rest assured.
Upon hearing this, Director Zhou realized what was going on. As someone in officialdom, he immediately understood that they wanted to use the video to frame someone.
In this way, the impact will be minimal.
This kind of thing usually only circulates within a small circle.
Director Zhou returned to his seat, and Zheng Zhiguo got up and sat down opposite him.
Director Zhou handed over a menu from the table.
"Look, what kind of tea would you like to drink? This tea has lost its flavor, let's get a different pot."
Zheng Zhiguo just drank tea; it was clearly the first brew, and it still had flavor.
Why change the tea leaves if they were just brewed?
When I looked at the menu, I saw the prices of several teas on the front.
Conversely, the real story lies on the other side.
The back clearly states in large font that it is a membership recharge package for Fuyuan Teahouse.
The initial recharge amount is 88,000, then 188,000, 288,000, and 388,000.
The most expensive package is 388,000.
He understood; it was time to test their sincerity.
"Does Director Zhou often come here for tea?"
"right."
"Okay, then I'll become a member too, it'll be more convenient for me to visit you in the future."
"Hmm!" Director Zhou beamed, pointing to the menu in his hand: "Great! The ambiance and tea here are excellent; this membership is definitely worth it."
This is an implication to Zheng Zhiguo that he should deposit money into the account.
Later, Director Zhou and the teahouse will naturally have a profit-sharing ratio. As for how the teahouse will split the profits, Zheng Zhiguo doesn't need to know; he just needs to carry it out.
Zheng Zhiguo had heard about this before.
When you're out doing business, you can't expect to get things done without offering some "tea money" (bribes).
"Okay, then I'll top up 388,000."
This was a significant expense for Director Zheng, but fortunately Xiao Zhikai lent him 30 yuan, otherwise it wouldn't have been enough.
Director Zhou pressed the service bell on the table, and a waiter immediately brought in a plate.
There is a POS machine in the plate.
Zheng Zhiguo swiped his card for 388,000 yuan on the spot.
The waitress took the money but didn't even give me a proper receipt before leaving.
Thinking that as long as the matter could be resolved, Zheng Zhiguo didn't feel bad about the cost.
"Director Zhou, I'm entrusting everything to you."
Director Zhou looked out the window again, his gaze landing on the oversized parking spaces across the street: "Isn't your Yuanshan County a poverty-stricken county?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Even bureau chiefs in impoverished counties drive such nice cars?"
"this……"
"It seems Director Zheng has been pulling strings a lot while in this position."
"My mother-in-law gave me some money at the time, and we pooled our resources to buy it." Director Zheng didn't want to elaborate on this topic.
He wouldn't dare say he's completely clean.
Director Zhou nodded calmly, then looked on with envy: "You have a good mother-in-law."
Unlike me.
My mother-in-law only ever asks me for things.
Her son, who is also my brother-in-law, got divorced not long ago and recently found a girlfriend.
You have no idea, my mother-in-law calls me every single day.
They said my brother-in-law is getting married but doesn't even have a car, and asked me to find a way to get one for him.
Hehehe...
I'm not some kind of super-rich person.
Where am I supposed to get him a car?
dont you agree?
Why……"
Director Zhou shook his head helplessly.
Zheng Zhiguo realized that this guy wanted that Land Cruiser Prado.
He cursed inwardly.
But he has no connections in Shenzhen; he has to rely on Director Zhou.
Only Director Zhou can push this matter forward.
Since that old bastard dared to ask for it, he must be confident that he can get it done.
Otherwise, Xiao Zhikai would have to step in, since Director Zhou is Xiao Zhikai's classmate and wouldn't lie.
I don't drive this car much, I don't use it much.
It's still pretty new, only 80,000 kilometers.
If you don't mind, you can take it and give it to your brother-in-law to open.
Zheng Zhiguo took out the key and placed it on the table.
Director Zhou looked at him intently for a few seconds.
"Go back to the hotel."
Give me a few days.
I will notify you once I receive the video.
Zheng Zhiguo stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, bowed deeply, and left the teahouse without saying another word.
Immediately afterwards, Director Zhou called the head of the local police station.
The two whispered to each other for a while.
Then Director Zhou gave the car keys to the director.
"This is something my classmate asked me to do."
They were in trouble; it was a poor county, and they couldn't afford much money.
You can take this car. Just ask the traffic police to help you transfer the ownership.
"Just consider it helping out, taking care of my classmate. You'll have to suffer a little loss."
The director glanced at the car not far away, his eyes gleaming: "This, this isn't appropriate, is it?"
There's nothing wrong with it.
"How about I sell it and get the money, and we split it in half?"
Director Zhou waved his hand sternly: "No, no, no, I don't need it. That's a classmate's business. Why would I accept it? You can keep it."
"Alright, her name is Li Taoying, this is the woman in the photo, no doubt about it?"
"Yes, that's her." Director Zhou was certain, while glancing at the woman in the photo; she was indeed beautiful. "Hurry up, my classmate is in a hurry."
"clear."
The director went out and drove off in Director Zheng's car.
Actually, Zheng Zhiguo could have gone directly to the director, which might have saved him a lot of money and trouble, but the director might not have dared to accept these things.
That's what relationships are about.
In any relationship, the most crucial element is trust.
Only people you trust will accept your things.
Otherwise, people wouldn't dare accept it even if you offered it to them.
It's like walking down the street and a stunningly beautiful woman suddenly throws herself at you; you might not dare to do it.
Zheng Zhiguo returned to the hotel and received a call from Xiao Yanfang, the director of the Xiapu branch.
"Director Zheng."
The man who was arrested last time for harassing Director Wu's son won't say anything.
The mute man has been beating him for days; if he keeps going, he'll die.
The appointed time has come, so should we release them?
