Chapter 652 Don't hold grudges, but don't forgive.
Among the Lu family in the capital, the Xu family in Zhonghai, and the four major groups of Hong Kong Guangdong Media, Shijia Fund, Chenghua Group, and Xianghe Holdings who were willing to be their backs and charged into the battle, the person responsible for knowing many secrets about the Wantong Express incident
People were all surprised as to why people from the Xiao family appeared at the financing signing ceremony suddenly announced by Wantong Express, and were angry that when it was obvious that the Xiao family had turned back and stood against them, they did not know that Wantong
The shareholders on the express side were also uneasy and wondering about the important officials of the Xiao family who were not invited at all and should not have known the news. Even if they knew, they should not come, especially the important officials of the Xiao family who have retired from high positions in the capital but still
How could the influential Xiao Jingjing and Yuzhou Province Governor Xiao Yuanshan suddenly appear at the signing ceremony and sincerely express their congratulations? Later, they also attended the banquet held by Wantong Express to celebrate the successful financing.
In fact, when the signing ceremony was about to begin, the officials of the Xiao family walked into the headquarters building of Wantong Logistics Group almost following the media reporters who had just learned the news and rushed over - obviously, they were
I had learned this secret news in advance and came prepared.
Because the contract had not been officially signed at that time, Chairman Su Cheng, General Manager Chen Yufang, and several other shareholders were almost startled, thinking with trepidation about the senior officials of the Xiao family who had obviously stood against Wantong Logistics.
, suddenly at the signing ceremony today, what will they do?
Although it seems to be strong, in fact, after experiencing this period of crisis, Wantong Logistics Group and Wantong Express cannot withstand the blow!
Pei Chengci, chairman of Tianhai Group, and Yang Shubin, chairman of Huateng Group, also showed nervousness. They originally knew that the Xiao family played a disgraceful role in the commercial crackdown and persecution of Wantong Express, so at this time Xiao
A line of senior officials from Yuzhou Province showed up, and God knows what they were going to do.
On the contrary, Lin Yan, the president of Yaohuang Technology Group, and Lu Fukun, the chairman of Fukun Coal Group, who did not know the situation of the Xiao family, were all surprised, especially Lu Fukun, a bumpkin from Xishan County, Pingyang City who made his fortune by relying on coal resources.
I was so excited that I blinked my eyes and shamelessly stepped forward to talk to Governor Xiao and those who often appeared.
The senior officials on TV shook hands and introduced themselves, and I was so moved that I almost cried: "Damn it, Gong Daxian sincerely didn't deceive me. The fact that the Tie Gua Immortal in Jinzhou County became blind is indeed the Tie Gua magic foretelling. I invested in Wantong Express."
, you will be rewarded so quickly...it’s nothing but money, and getting to know Governor Xiao and these senior officials, isn’t it just a matter of making a lot of money?”
Because he shook hands with the governor and several senior officials, and Governor Xiao and those senior officials were particularly enthusiastic towards him, Lu Fukun immediately took a chance and called his secretary: "Go to the finance department right now and let me know."
They took out two million in cash, sent one million to Gong Daxian, and sent one million to Tie Guaxian in Jinzhou County... I don’t know who it is? Damn it, you can ask Mr. Yu for anything.
knew."
At this time, Chairman Su's hanging heart was a little relieved. Because after Xiao Yuanshan shook hands with him in public and said words of encouragement and appreciation, he deliberately held his hand to avoid everyone's sight, and whispered in private
: "Xiao Zhen is still young and thinks about things superficially. He doesn't handle some things very well, so I ask for Chairman Su's understanding."
Su Cheng didn't know what happened to the Xiao family and why they suddenly changed their attitude and stance, but at least he understood that the Xiao family's position had returned to the side of Wantong Logistics Group.
This is another major victory for Wantong Logistics Group and Wantong Express after their successful financing!
Beijing.
It's past eleven o'clock in the morning.
In a Western restaurant near the Beijing University campus, Su Chunfeng and Xiao Qian were sitting opposite each other by the window.
It's not lunch time yet, there are very few customers dining, and the environment in the restaurant is elegant and peaceful. Moreover, the layout and decoration of this Western restaurant have obviously taken into account the customers' preferences when dining, so the double tables set up near the window are all half
The closed form will give every customer a good feeling that their privacy is protected, and they can talk quietly about some private topics while dining.
"Teacher Xiao, do you have anything to do with me today?" Su Chunfeng asked with a smile.
After Su Chunfeng came out of the first teaching building after class at 10:30, he did not go back to the dormitory. Instead, he went for a walk by Weiming Lake. Because he knew that today was the day for the equity restructuring and financing signing of Wantong Express, and all the secrets before
The ongoing matters will be made public on this day - it is planned that one hour before the signing ceremony begins,
Inform the reporters from the major news media in Yuzhou Province who have become acquainted with Chairman Su Cheng during this period. These news media reporters will definitely rush to the scene quickly to get first-hand news materials. After all, they have been in the midst of public speculation recently.
The news of the sudden successful financing of Wantong Express in China is really shocking and eye-catching.
Although all the plans were very detailed and confirmed to be flawless, Su Chunfeng still found it difficult to relax, so he had to wait for the call as soon as the signing was officially signed.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian called him and wanted to invite him to dinner. She was already waiting for him at the western restaurant outside.
So Su Chunfeng was invited here somewhat inexplicably.
Xiao Qian smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "Chunfeng, you know, since I left Dongwangzhuangxiang Middle School, I went to Beijing University to study for graduate school, and then stayed at the school to study for a Ph.D. and teach, until now I officially became
I am a teacher, but I rarely go home, and I never pay attention to the things in the family. I rejected all the marriages arranged by my family... Therefore, I don't care about anything that happens in the family..."
As soon as he said this, Su Chunfeng's cell phone rang, and he couldn't help but apologize.
"You answer the phone first." Xiao Qian said without any concern.
"Sorry." Su Chunfeng took out the phone, feeling a little excited, and pressed the answer button nervously: "Hey, Zhuo Yan, tell me... um, very good, eh? Oh... ok, I
Got it, it's not very convenient right now, I'll call you later, that's it for now."
After hanging up the line, Su Chunfeng showed a look of realization. He put his phone on the table and said, "Teacher Xiao invited me to dinner today. It turns out that he was entrusted by someone else."
"Chunfeng..." Xiao Qian became more and more embarrassed, and a blush appeared on her soft cheeks.
"Just now, Teacher Xiao, you also said that over the years, you have never cared about family affairs, so whether the Xiao family, um, sorry, to be precise, it should be Tianmao Group, Wantong Logistics Group, Wantong
Any unhappiness between couriers has nothing to do with the friendship between you and me, and it will not affect or damage the relationship between us." Su Chunfeng said sincerely: "As for other issues,
I feel that there is no need for you to say tactful words to me at all, because our family, as well as Wantong Logistics Group and Wantong Express, are not qualified to negotiate terms with the Xiao family, the leading powerful family in Yuzhou Province, and the Xiao family
The Xiao family was able to unexpectedly take the initiative to express friendly goodwill this time. Naturally, we, Wantong Logistics Group and Wantong Express, will not and do not dare to refuse the Xiao family's goodwill."
Xiao Qian was startled for a moment, then shook her head with a wry smile and said: "Chunfeng, I really don't know what happened. I invited you to dinner this time because I was entrusted by my cousin Xiao Zhen to apologize to you on his behalf.
, I hope to get your forgiveness. Although he also mentioned that some things in our family may not be done well, I didn't expect that from your words, it seemed that the matter was serious... Chunfeng, can you tell me what happened?
Is something wrong?"
"Well, is this what Mr. Xiao means?" Su Chunfeng waved his hand and said: "Since I asked you to come forward, I still have to give you this face. Tell Mr. Xiao that I will not bear any grudge against him, let alone hold a grudge.
Xiao family, because every family has difficult to recite sutras, I can still understand that they can't help themselves. As for what happened during this period, I am not in a position to tell you. You'd better ask Mr. Xiao.
."
"Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask." Xiao Qian sighed softly and said, "But I think that just because you say you don't hold grudges doesn't mean you forgive him or our family, right?"
Su Chunfeng smiled bitterly and nodded, admitting.
"Then you won't take revenge, right?" Xiao Qian looked worried.
"How is that possible?" Su Chunfeng laughed.
Xiao Qian felt relieved, bit her red lips, and said quietly while cutting the steak: "I still remember Zhao Shanggang. My cousin asked me to tell you that this time, the Xiao family will definitely make their best efforts to protect Zhao Shanggang.
However, this may not necessarily ensure Zhao Shanggang’s acquittal.”
Su Chunfeng showed an indifferent expression and said, "That's good."
"What happened to Zhao Shanggang?"
"Underworld."
"Oh..." Xiao Qian was startled for a moment, and then said: "Since he is a gangster, why should we protect him?"
Su Chunfeng hesitated for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Although there are some bastards in this world who really deserve to be cut into pieces, in most cases, there is no absolute good or bad, good or evil.
We all know that murderers should be shot, but if the murderer kills a heinous scum, then, without considering the legal aspect, I think most people will say, well done, you
What do you think?"
"But, you said Zhao Shanggang is a gangster!" Xiao Qian said doubtfully.
Su Chunfeng didn't know how to explain it, so he could only smile and said like a rogue: "He is a friend of Mr. Xiao and I. We have to be loyal, right?"
"you……"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Su Chunfeng waved his hand.
Xiao Qian lowered her head and sighed softly.
In fact, although she didn't quite understand Su Chunfeng's explanation that Zhao Shanggang should be saved, she could understand the sentence, "But in most cases, there is no absolute distinction between good and bad, good and evil.
"Ever since she was a child, Xiao Qian has been ignorant of the political struggles and commercial struggles in her family, no matter how naive and disgusted she is. However, her living environment has determined that she knows more about the darkness hidden under the glamorous appearance than ordinary people.
Dirty.
At the same time.
Zhongzhou City, Yuzhou Province, inside the No. 1 Detention Center.
Xiao Zhen, in a suit and leather shoes, sat in an interrogation room with a sinister expression, smoking a cigarette and waiting for Zhao Shanggang's arrival - in the borders of Yuzhou Province, such a trivial violation of regulations as entering a detention center to meet a criminal suspect was not for Xiao Zhen.
For the people in the Xiao family, it is a breeze, but in most cases, in order to avoid suspicion, they don't bother to come here at all - who does the Xiao family want to protect, do they still need to go to the detention center?
But this time, Xiao Zhen had to come in person to inquire about some situations and convey some words.
It was also to make a gesture to show Su Chunfeng.
Xiao Zhen knows that with the development of the Wantong Express incident, he has become the person the Xiao family can use to take the blame at any time. Fortunately, the scapegoats he is currently replacing are nothing more than Su Cheng and his son, Wantong Logistics Group,
Wantong Express has a grudge against him. And once Wantong Express crosses this threshold forcefully and involves a higher level and stronger forces intervene, then Xiao Zhen will have to make greater sacrifices.
For the benefit of the family.
Now, it should be said that it is for the safety of the family.
The problem is that until now, the Xiao family does not know who is behind the scenes, making Tianhai Group so unafraid of the power of the Xu family and the Lu family that it blatantly helps Wantong Logistics Group and Wantong Express.
There were unhurried footsteps at the door. The handcuffed Zhao Shanggang was brought in by a policeman, and then he was startled. Obviously, Zhao Shanggang did not expect that it would be Xiao Zhen who came to see him. He thought it was another police case.
The team is about to interrogate him, or Wang Qing and the lawyer are trying their best to see him again.
The policeman and Xiao Zhen looked at each other, then walked out and closed the iron door.
"Shangang, long time no see." Xiao Zhen forced a smile.
"Long time no see. I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to come to see me. Thank you very much." Zhao Shanggang said as he walked to the unlocked interrogation chair and sat down. The long-term detention life in the detention center without seeing the light of day made him look...
A bit slovenly and unshaven, he didn't know how long he hadn't shaved. He took the cigarette from Xiao Zhen with a cold expression, lit it with the lighter in Xiao Zhen's hand, took a deep breath, and said: "Outside
What's going on?"
"Um?"
"Wang Qing and lawyer Wang Qing told me about Wantong Express last time. I can guess something. I hope my guess is wrong." Zhao Shanggang sneered and looked up at Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry."
"Is that really so?" Zhao Shanggang shook his head helplessly, then his eyes showed a cold light, and he said ferociously: "It seems that I, Zhao Shanggang, can't escape, but Xiao Zhen, you also know that Su Chunfeng is a
Warlock, you also know his temper, aren't you afraid that he will kill your whole family?"
"Wantong Logistics Group, Wantong Express, Chairman Su, they are all doing well now, even better than before." Xiao Zhen didn't mind Zhao Shanggang's ruthless eyes like a ferocious beast that chooses people to devour, and his terrifying eyes.
Without words, he said: "Now, all of us have to find a way to protect you. As for some misunderstandings that occurred during this period, we should wait until you go out and sit with Chunfeng and talk about it in detail..."
"Huh?" Zhao Shanggang was stunned.
Xiao Zhen walked back to the table, sat down, lit a cigarette and said slowly: "I heard that you did not admit the crime. It seems that you made detailed arrangements for the rainy day a long time ago. Those of your brothers
, they are also very loyal, no one of them will testify against you, they all try their best to shoulder the responsibility on themselves."
"Then what?" Zhao Shanggang asked with narrowed eyes. He couldn't believe Xiao Zhen now.
"No matter how your brothers and others blame themselves, you should know that since the police have arrested you and detained you for so long, there is still a lot of evidence. Therefore, an acquittal is impossible.
Our arrangement is that if you take some of the responsibility for the case at the Zhongzhou City construction site, you can say that you will
When you received a call from your subordinates, you knew there would be a conflict, but you didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, so you didn't stop them in advance from violently beating their opponents." Xiao Zhen said calmly: "As for Wantong
Those cases involving express delivery, you said they were all emergencies, events without plans or preparations."
"I'm kidding, how could you do those things without a plan or preparation? Such rhetoric..." Zhao Shanggang sneered, then frowned and asked: "My brother, someone has already confessed?"
"Yeah, but I didn't accuse you."
"Idiot!" Zhao Shanggang said angrily through gritted teeth.
"Don't worry, the cases I just mentioned, and what your brothers confessed to, are just four cases of serious injuries caused by crowd fights, and they were caused by Wantong Express branches in several places being attacked by local evil groups.
An act of self-defense when hurting someone." Xiao Zhen took out two copies of two pages full of words from his bag.
Paper, stood up, walked over, put it in front of Zhao Shanggang, and said: "These are the specific details, remember them clearly, don't let them slip... Your case will be heard in court in three months, and you may be sentenced to seven months to one year.
But by that time, plus the time you spent in the detention center, you will basically have completed your sentence by the time the sentence is pronounced."
Zhao Shanggang briefly glanced at the contents of the two pages. After thinking for a while, he determined that there were no traps in it and nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
"You're welcome. Remember to destroy it after reading it. I'll leave first." Xiao Zhen turned around and walked out.
Zhao Shanggang took the two pages and looked at them carefully.
At this moment, the policeman who had brought him here pushed open the door and saw Zhao Shanggang sitting there in handcuffs and looking at two pages of paper with a calm expression. He couldn't help frowning and scolding: "Zhao Shanggang, are you crazy?
Put it away and go back to the cell to read it...don't get us into trouble!"
"Well, I'm sorry." Zhao Shanggang smiled, crumpled the two pages into a ball, stood up and walked out.
This young police officer, who had a higher position in the detention center, led Zhao Shanggang out and whispered as he walked: "Mr. Zhao, I have wronged you during this time. We are also on official business, so there is nothing we can do..."
"It's okay." Zhao Shanggang shook his head.
"However, we all admire you very much!" The police officer, who looked to be no more than thirty years old, gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Zheng Zhigao, who is in the same cell as you, fell into disgrace within a few days after you came in.
I'll beat you until you're docile...Okay, do you know what Zheng Zhigao did before?"
"have no idea."
"cough……"
The leader of the detention center walked towards him. The police officer coughed dryly and stopped talking.
