Although he and Lin Mai broke up on bad terms yesterday, early this morning Mayor Wang reported yesterday's negotiations with Lin Mai to his superiors.
Although the superiors also wanted Lin Mai to be considerate of the light factory and the government, make concessions, and not pursue the project payment from the light factory.
But there is nothing wrong with people insisting on recovering the project money.
Since you can't stop it, you can only accept it.
After all, it would be too much of a loss to force Lin Mai away because of the project money.
It’s a typical case of picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
Provincial leaders ordered Mayor Wang to immediately ask Factory Director Hu to take out several newly built dormitories as collateral for the project funds of Wantong Real Estate.
The provincial leaders were very dissatisfied with Factory Director Hu.
We can't even pay wages, and we don't have the money to build any dormitories!
He deceived the government and took the blame.
Mayor Wang did not dare to neglect for a moment. After hanging up the phone, he called Factory Director Hu and asked him to come quickly.
Factory Director Hu immediately rushed to Mayor Wang's office in a hurry.
Mayor Wang was very upset when he saw him.
He implicitly accused Factory Director Hu of screwing him over, leaving a bad impression on him among his leaders, making it difficult for him to climb up the corporate ladder in the future.
Factory Director Hu often asks the government for money to pay wages to factory workers, and he has developed a thick skin.
When Mayor Wang scolded him, he just lowered his head and pretended to be a quail.
When Mayor Wang scolds him, it goes in his left ear and out in his right ear.
When Mayor Wang finished criticizing Factory Director Hu and asked him to take out several newly built dormitories to mortgage the project money owed to Wantong Real Estate.
Director Hu's eyes suddenly widened. He didn't expect that Mayor Wang would let him do this.
With a sad face, he told Mayor Wang affectionately that the factory had not built new buildings in the past decades and the factory workers were complaining.
If he were asked to take out a few new houses to use as collateral for Vantone Real Estate's project payments, the factory employees would definitely kill him.
Mayor Wang said with a dark face: "Your factory has not built new houses in decades. It's because you, the factory director, are incompetent. Why are you complaining to me about this?"
Although Factory Director Hu could see that Mayor Wang was dissatisfied with him, he didn't care.
Who told him to come to Mayor Wang often to ask for money to pay his salary? It’s strange that Mayor Wang has a good attitude towards him.
Director Hu said with a sad face: "All the new houses are already occupied.
Among those employees who have been allocated new houses, who is willing to vacate the new house where they can live well?
The employees refuse to move to new houses, what do you want me to do?"
He said with a scoundrel look on his face: "We just won't pay for the project, let's see what Wantong Real Estate can do to us!
Really, they are so rich, yet they won’t let us go for a few projects!”
Factory Director Wang was so angry that he said: "Why don't you say, your light factory is so poor, why do you need to build dormitories?
Even if it is built, if you don’t have money to pay for the project, you can at least leave a few buildings to mortgage the project payment, and you won’t be where you are now.
It's a good thing for you that you didn't save a single building, and gave it all to your employees!"
Director Hu laughed along and said: "The matter is now over, there is no point in bringing it up again.
Wantong is a small private enterprise, and your government is putting pressure on her, so hard that I can't believe that little girl named Lin won't give in!"
Mayor Wang was so angry that he snorted: "Is Vantone Group a small private enterprise?
Is your light factory one percent as big as others? Can you pay a penny of tax to the government?
Not to mention paying a penny in taxes, but still asking the government for money at every turn.
Vantone Group is the largest taxpayer in the province, ranking first!
If you ask our government to suppress Vantone Group, Mr. Lin will give in?
Are you still so naive at your age?
Lin Mai is going to move her company to Star City!"
When he said the last sentence, Mayor Wang slapped the table angrily.
He was anxious and worried that Lin Mai would move the company away.
Factory Director Hu was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Mai to be so ruthless and wanted to move the company.
Relocating the company will be a big hassle and the losses will be considerable.
This guy is willing to pay such a high price to recover the project money from the light factory, which is nothing to mention to her. I'm afraid it's not a serious problem in his brain.
Factory Director Hu broke the pot and said dejectedly: "I really can't evict the employees from their new houses.
If Mayor Wang has a way, Mayor Wang should go and rush for it."
Mayor Wang was so angry that Factory Director Hu did not even try to ask the employees to vacate the house, but just passed the blame to him that smoke was rising from his head.
He made up his mind that no matter whether the project payment problem could be solved satisfactorily this time, he would remove Director Hu from his position as factory director.
Director Hu has been in the position of factory director for more than ten years and has no achievements at all. He only knows how to ask for money from the government.
Now he is even more aggressive and blaming the mayor on him.
Since he is not qualified for the position of factory director, then replace him with someone who is capable.
In fact, Factory Director Hu had no choice but to pass the blame to Mayor Wang. The house that was divided was really not coming back.
At about ten o'clock that morning, even if Mayor Wang dispatched the police, he warned the workers and their families living in the new houses of the light factory that they would be arrested if they did not vacate the houses within half a day.
However, those employees and their families who had finally been allocated houses were forced to die.
They said that as long as anyone wants to take back their house, they will die in front of anyone.
Some old ladies even swallowed rat poison in front of the police.
Fortunately, the police sent the old ladies to the hospital in time for gastric lavage, and no one died.
But Mayor Wang was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
If someone died, he would be held responsible.
Moreover, uninformed citizens would accuse him of forcing people to die.
Mayor Wang did not dare to ask the workers of the light factory who were allocated new houses to hand over their new houses.
Then we can only squeeze out money from the tight finances, pay the project money owed by the light factory to Wantong Real Estate, and calm Lin Mai so that she will not move the company.
Mayor Wang asked his secretary to contact Lin Mai. He wanted to resolve the project payment issue as soon as possible, but Shen Xiaoping told him that Lin Mai was not in Jiangcheng.
Mayor Wang suddenly panicked.
Didn't Lin Mai return to Jiangcheng during the winter vacation just to deal with the company's affairs?
Where would she go if she wasn't in Jiangcheng?
Did he secretly go to Star City to contact the local government about relocation?
The more Mayor Wang thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he asked his secretary to dig deep into the ground to find Lin Mai.
He must stop Lin Mai before she reaches an agreement with the leaders of Star City.
Little did he know that when he was in a panic, Lin Mai was holding Doudou and accompanying Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang for a walk in Simei Town.
Unable to contact Lin Mai, Mayor Wang felt regretful.
If I had known that I would have to pay Lin Mai for the project in the end, I should have agreed to her at the dinner table yesterday.
It won't be so painful now.
Mayor Wang was extremely anxious, but Lin Mai was not anxious at all.
She, Grandpa Fang and others stayed in Simei Town until noon the next day. After lunch, they set off back to Jiangcheng.
This time he can only stay in Simei Town for so long. The light factory project money has not yet been received, so Lin Mai has to go back to Jiangcheng to ask for the project money.
This time she brought Grandpa Fang and others to visit the countryside, firstly to satisfy Grandpa Fang and his wife's longing for their hometown, and secondly to keep Mayor Wang in the dark.
Now that it's almost done drying, it's time to go back and close the net.
You can't get a taxi in a small place like Simei Town.
With Grandpa Fang's character, it was impossible for the mayor of Simei Town to send a car to take them back to Jiangcheng, so the only option was to take the train back.
The whole family walked towards the train station carrying various agricultural products sent by the villagers on their hands and shoulders.
Many villagers saw this and ran over to help them get their things and put them on the train.
When they arrived at Hankou Station, Lin Mai secretly gave two male stewards five yuan each and asked them to help take the things off the train.
Just taking the things off the train will earn you five yuan.
The two male stewards were happy to help and moved everything off the train.
A colleague saw them and asked them curiously: "Who are you moving things for?"
One of the male flight attendants pointed at another male flight attendant and said, "I'm carrying things for his relatives."
I fooled my colleagues away with just one sentence.
Lin Mai asked Grandpa Fang and his wife to take Doudou to guard the pile of things.
She went to get two poles outside the train station and finally got those things back to the villa.
After this operation, Lin Mai was almost exhausted, and Mayor Wang was about to explode.
The more unable to contact Lin Mai, the more frightened he became.
Lin Mai and his family did not return to the villa until after two o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as she put down her things, Shen Xiaoping's phone call came in.
Tell Lin Mai that Mayor Wang is looking for her all over the world.
Lin Mai said: "Tell Mayor Wang that I will go to his office at four o'clock in the afternoon."
Mayor Wang is in a hurry now, but she is not in a hurry, so let Mayor Wang be in a hurry for a while longer.
Lin Mai hung up the phone and was about to get a glass of water when Ke Ziqing suddenly called and told Lin Mai that she and Chen Feng had returned to Jiangcheng from Hong Kong and asked her to go to her house to play.
Lin Mai was so pleasantly surprised that he took half of the strawberries Fu Qiang gave him, and carried a few old hens and a small basket of eggs to Ke Ziqing's house.
Ke Ziqing and his wife stood at the entrance of the courtyard to greet her.
