Chapter 215: Mr. Lu’s image has collapsed…right
The strategist stared at the departing car in a daze.
King Tongtuo said, "Is Mr. Lu out of his mind? Is he confused? I think I heard him say he wants to take down Skynet?"
The strategist shook his head: "Mr. Lu has never been confused, he's serious."
King Jintuo felt like he would die: "But... we... how!? We're just a branch in Xuecheng... now we're just thugs working for a rich man. Are we going to take down Skynet? Isn't this a joke?"
The strategist looked at them: "Don't look at me, I don't understand either."
The strategist thought it was too outrageous. The organization was so powerful, and no one dared to say that their goal was to take down Skynet.
There are only a few of us under your command, and we don't even have a master of the Upper Four Sects,... how can you do it?
Seeing that his subordinates were still in a dream, the strategist arranged the work: "Don't think about it, let's deal with the matter here first."
He looked at the empty road in the early morning.
Take down Skynet?
Mr. Lu is serious.
Just now when he said this, his eyes were steadfast.
The energy in this man's heart is too terrifying.
Mr. Lu... who are you!?
…
In the mayor's office.
Mayor Zhao was on the phone: "Leader, this is against the rules! And our government must be trustworthy! Dasheng Group helped us in times of crisis, and now we're kicking them out and letting Dongfang Group take over, this is not a good look! The business community in Xuecheng will be chilled!"
"I know this is a matter of national economy and people's livelihood, and we should focus on the well-being of the people, but Dasheng Group has done a good job, everyone can see that! They have put all their wealth on the line to help us complete this big project!"
"I will cooperate with the macro layout of the superior leaders, but this matter..."
"Okay, I will do my best within my authority."
Mayor Zhao hung up the phone, Hu Lai was sitting in front of him.
Hu Lai stood up: "Oh, Mr. Mayor, there is no need to worry about this matter! We all know who Lu Chengwen is, he is just a profiteer, so there is no need to feel guilty about him. Besides, this kind of thing is between him and Huo Wendong, we don't need to intervene at all, they agree, we stamp it, and it's over!"
Mayor Zhao looked at this guy, feeling extremely annoyed.
He didn't know when, but this guy had become very close to the provincial leaders, and now he was making trouble for him everywhere.
Now he is obviously on the same side as Huo Wendong, relying on the support of the provincial leaders.
Secretary Wu pushed the door open: "Mayor Zhao, it's time for the morning meeting."
"Has Mr. Lu arrived?"
"I just called, he said he's downstairs."
"Okay, get ready for the meeting."
A provincial leader had also arrived upstairs, and when he saw Mayor Zhao, the two shook hands and exchanged greetings.
"Old Zhao, I'm here to ask you for help this time, whether the water and soil in Xuecheng can support me, an old man, depends on your words!"
Mayor Zhao smiled wryly: "Xuecheng always welcomes leaders to come and inspect and guide, but please understand the difficulties of Xuecheng. Millions of people in Xuecheng are looking forward to the leadership."
"I heard that this Lu Chengwen has already agreed to sign the contract?" The leader didn't waste time, and went straight to the point, with a smile on his face, but a knife hidden in his smile.
"I haven't communicated with him yet, I don't know for now."
"Oh! Lu Chengwen, I've heard of his reputation in the province, this kind of person takes on such an important project, Old Zhao, your choice is a bit reckless!"
"Leader, let's not talk about Lu Chengwen's character for now. I begged my grandpa and grandma for this project, went to the province several times, and attended hundreds of meetings, big and small, but no one from the chaebols in the province liked it. The local businessmen in Xuecheng avoided this project like the plague!"
Mayor Zhao sighed: "I think that if I can't handle this matter while I'm in office, I will be ashamed of the millions of people in Xuecheng, and I will be ashamed of the trust of the superior leaders, I can't even die in peace!"
"At a critical moment, Lu Chengwen stood up, without any nonsense, without talking about conditions, without asking for a lion's share, he took it all in and even pulled the other three big families into the game. You said... how can we be ashamed to let him down?"
The leader laughed and patted Mayor Zhao on the back: "That's how things are done. The rich should suffer a little more than for the common people to suffer, right? I heard that Huo Wendong from Dongfang Group is a good person and does things steadily. The key is that his family has a solid foundation, you and I don't know if Lu Chengwen can hold on to the end! Besides, his character... can you trust him?"
"There is no problem with Lu Chengwen's character!" Mayor Zhao said earnestly: "He is really sincere in doing practical things for the people of Xuecheng! Would ordinary people dare to risk their family fortune to do projects for the government? And many rumors cannot be trusted, I have been in contact with him, I know him. He is always in a suit, speaks calmly and competently, works steadily and steadily, and his character is humble, cautious, gentle, and elegant..."
"Is he that good?"
Mayor Zhao said: "I guarantee it with my personality..."
At this time, Lu Chengwen had already walked over.
How impressive!
Just a bathrobe!
Shorts! And slippers!
The quality of the bathrobe is very high, the wind blows his belly, and his thighs are exposed, including his boxer shorts.
The slippers are limited edition, 32,000 a pair, but they look similar to the 9.9 ones on Taobao.
He was biting a cigar, followed by Zhao Gang.
An office worker hurriedly greeted: "Hello, Mr. Lu!"
"Hello, my ass!" Lu Chengwen waved his cigar: "I want to see Mayor Zhao! I want to see Hu Lai! I want to see Zhang Tuofeng! Damn it, a bunch of bastards are playing with me, right? Do you think I'm easy to bully? Don't you know who I am, Lu Chengwen? If you piss me off, no one will have a good time!"
The leader's face darkened immediately.
"What do you guarantee with your personality?"
Mayor Zhao walked over awkwardly and reprimanded: "Lu Chengwen! What are you doing?"
As soon as Lu Chengwen saw Mayor Zhao, he immediately stuffed the cigar into Zhao Gang's hand.
"Oh, Mayor Zhao, hahaha! You are working so hard for the country and the people, getting up so early to hold a morning meeting! Have you had breakfast? You should pay attention to your health!"
Mayor Zhao thought to himself, you are really embarrassing me!
"Why are you dressed like this?"
"Don't mention it." Lu Chengwen pulled Mayor Zhao aside: "Mayor Zhao, just tell me, are you planning to kick me out and let Huo Wendong take over?"
"We are still studying this matter..."
"I understand." Lu Chengwen smiled and let go of Mayor Zhao's hand: "Now that there is a big ATM, I, the small one, will be eliminated, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Ask your assistant to come and change your clothes."
Lu Chengwen said: "Mayor Zhao, before today, I have always respected you. But today, I have seen through it, huh, maybe this is how the world is, I was naive, I was... childish. I actually still believe that there is morality, trust, justice... and so on in this world..."
Mayor Zhao is a broad-minded person, he understands that this matter is not Lu Chengwen's fault, anyone would be angry if it were them.
He grabbed Lu Chengwen's hand and said through gritted teeth:
"Listen to me! The provincial leader is here too, you left a very bad impression on him!"
"So what? I'm going to be out anyway!"
"If you continue like this, I really can't protect you anymore!"
Hearing this, Lu Chengwen immediately calmed down: "Mayor Zhao..."
Mayor Zhao said quickly in a low voice: "You know the way of the Huo family, what they want to do can be directly connected to the province. Hu Lai is messing with them, which puts a lot of pressure on me, I have been helping you!"
Lu Chengwen said excitedly: "I'm sorry, I just..."
"Stop talking nonsense! You and I both know what Huo Wendong wants to do, including what the people in their industry chain want to do! Are we going to let them make a lot of money, and then leave a barely qualified project and pat their butts and leave! Or do we do it ourselves and do a big thing for Xuecheng for the next few decades, or even hundreds of years, it's up to you!"
"Mayor Zhao, with your words, I feel relieved."
"I'm asking you, you can definitely handle it, right?"
"Don't worry, as long as you don't abandon me, I will not embarrass you."
"I was very embarrassed just now."
Lu Chengwen took out his mobile phone: "Jiang Shihan, where are you?"
Jiang Shihan panted: "I'm here."
"Five minutes." Lu Chengwen winked at Mayor Zhao.
…
In the meeting room.
The provincial leader sat at the main seat, and Mayor Zhao and Hu Lai sat on the left and right sides respectively.
Huo Wendong sat next to Hu Lai, and a seat was reserved for Lu Chengwen next to Mayor Zhao.
On this side were Mayor Zhao and Lu Chengwen, and on the other side were Hu Lai and Huo Wendong, as if they were divided into camps, confronting each other.
Other important figures were ranked in order, and the table was full of people.
Hu Lai looked at his watch: "The leader is here, and that Lu Chengwen is still dawdling? Isn't he putting on airs too much? I think it's time for someone to take care of these rich people in Xuecheng!"
Huo Wendong laughed: "My old classmate, he's used to being loose, please bear with him. Maybe, he was surrounded by beauties again last night, and he can't get up today. But it's really too much, the provincial leader is here, and you said he's still dawdling! Really."
Mayor Zhao said calmly: "It's still two minutes before the time we notified him, it's not considered late."
Hu Lai said: "He's not late, but his attitude can be seen, right? Leader, let me tell you, this Lu Chengwen has always been arrogant! He walks sideways in our municipal government! He's very domineering!"
Huo Wendong said: "Really?"
Hu Lai immediately continued: "This morning, he broke in wearing pajamas, huh, how fresh? The security guard didn't dare to stop him! He stood in the corridor and scolded everyone he saw!"
Huo Wendong nodded: "Don't tell me, it's really his style, hahaha!"
The provincial leader said with a sullen face: "Okay, I saw him this morning, I know what he's like."
Mayor Zhao was worried.
This is not easy to handle, he lost a game before he even appeared on the stage.
At this time, the door opened, Lu Chengwen walked in wearing a neat suit, a snow-white shirt, exquisite cufflinks, and a decent tie...
He walked in with a smile on his face.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Hu Lai said dissatisfiedly: "Lu Chengwen, what time did we notify you?"
Lu Chengwen said with a straight face: "Then do you know what time you notified me?"
Hu Lai patted the table: "You came to the municipal government wearing pajamas this morning, have you considered your influence?"
Lu Chengwen glared: "Who are you patting the table at? To attend this meeting, I didn't even have time to change my clothes, I rushed directly to the building, and my assistant sent me the clothes. For this meeting, I even lost face, what do you have to compare with me?!"
Hu Lai's eyes widened, thinking to himself... this, is it a merit instead!?
The provincial leader said with a sullen face: "Sit down, let's have a meeting."
Lu Chengwen secretly cheered himself up.
This battle! Must win!
