The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain - Chapter 70

[Chapter 40 Officials]

Jiang Hai is a businessman who started from scratch. Some time ago, he tried his best and used various methods to finally establish a relationship with a powerful figure in the municipal government. Being able to cooperate with the Jade Municipal Government on a project is a sure way to make money. A no-loss deal. But who knew that there was a lot of turmoil in the officialdom during this period, and all the acquaintances who were originally responsible for his project disappeared.

But Jiang Hai had already invested his entire net worth of more than 10 million, and even mortgaged his house and car to the bank. Now that the person in charge is gone, the remaining people are playing ball with each other, but no one is willing to take over Jiang Hai’s mess. In one week, Jiang Haiji lost a lot of his hair.

On this day, Jiang Hai took his brother-in-law Cai Zhun to the government office building again. They had been waiting at the gate at eight o’clock in the morning and waited until 11 o’clock at noon, eating only a few bites of steamed buns.

Finally, a luxury car drove in from outside. Jiang Hai saw it and hurriedly followed it. A fat man got out of the car, looked at Jiang Hai and said, “Mr. Jiang, why are you sitting at the door?” Jiang Hai cursed secretly

: I’ve been looking for you for almost a week. If I hadn’t found a little star you care for yesterday and bought him a bag worth more than 80,000 yuan, I might not have been able to see you. ‘

But when facing the fat man, he still had a smile on his face: “Isn’t it because I’m waiting for you, Minister Qian?”

For the sake of his own project, Jiang Hai could only endure the secret fire in his heart and become his grandson. He no longer expects to continue working on this project. These guys who eat people without spitting out their bones will be satisfied as long as they can get back half of the money they invested.

Minister Qian looked at his watch and said helplessly: “Sorry, Mr. Jiang, there is a meeting in the city, why don’t you wait for me to meet.” “Okay, okay, we don’t have anything

big to do, you are busy with your work, we will wait.” That’s it.”

After another few hours of waiting, under the scorching sun, Jiang Hai and Cai Zhun pressed their chests against their backs, but Minister Qian still didn’t come out.

Cai Zhun couldn’t help but complained: “Brother-in-law, do you think there is any use in waiting? I think that Qian is treating us like monkeys.” “As long as I can get the

project money back, I won’t even call him grandpa. Problem.” Jiang Hai sighed: “Except for the 300,000 payment in the card, I have invested everything else in this project. If I can’t get it back…” Jiang Hai didn’t dare to imagine this situation.

Just as he was talking, Minister Qian finally came out of the building. Jiang Hai hurriedly ran all the way, hoping that he could say a few words before the other party got in the car.

Seeing Minister Qian waving to him, Jiang Hai ran over with a smile. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to say a few words, he saw Minister Qian take out his ringing mobile phone and start chatting with people all the way. , the more he talked, the happier he became, and he didn’t even look at Jiang Hai until he reached the parking lot. After finally watching the other party get into the car, Jiang Hai felt cold in his heart.

‘Another day of waiting was in vain. ‘

Who would have thought that the car had just driven a few steps when it suddenly stopped again, the window was lowered, and Minister Qian turned to Jiang Hai and said, “Mr. Jiang, do you know Paragon?” Jiang Hai nodded quickly and said, “We know each other.” He knew

. It was a high-end club, and I heard it was a place frequented by high-ranking officials or wealthy people.

“Okay, where are you going to find me? I’ll leave first.”

So Jiang Hai took Cai Zhun and quickly took a taxi to Paragon. Along the way, Jiang Hai raised some more money and spent more than five hundred to buy some good cigarettes. Looking at the cigarette in his hand and thinking that he hadn’t eaten anything all day, he felt really bad.

When they arrived at Paragon, Jiang Hai left Cai Zhun alone and went in to find Minister Qian. Unexpectedly, he came out again within a few minutes. The cigarettes were given, but few words were said.

After coming out, he and Cai Zhun were sitting on the steps. Suddenly they punched the cement floor and cursed: “A bunch of bastards.” Then they collapsed on the steps like deflated rubber balls.

They waited like this for another five or six hours. At one o’clock in the night, a staff member called Jiang Hai and Cai Zhun, who were sleeping hazily, and asked them to settle the account.

When they saw the bill, they were both shocked. It cost 220,000 yuan. The two looked at each other, but neither said anything.

At this time, Minister Qian walked out drunkenly, patted Jiang Hai on the shoulder and said with a smile: “Xiao Jiang, thank you for your hard work today.”

Jiang Hai quickly took the opportunity to ask: “Minister Qian, how is my project going?”

“Yours?” The problem is more complicated. The person in charge was transferred away, and now there is no proof. People from several departments need to cooperate. You wait for us to notify you.” Minister Qian went back to his room, and Jiang Hai could only bite the bullet and settle the account

. Cai Zhun on the side cursed as soon as he went out: “What a stupid thing, what are they playing with? More than 200,000 yuan was just gone without even a sound.” “What else can we do after spending the night? What are they playing with?

” It’s already considered cheap. If it were some second- or third-rate models, it would probably be more than this.” Jiang Hai smiled bitterly and said: “And I’m giving you face by letting you come to check out. I don’t know if I have enough money left. “

Brother-in-law, are you going to wait any longer?” Cai Zhun said angrily, “If we keep waiting like this, we will lose even the coffin.”

Jiang Hai shook his head and sat silently on the stairs.

At around ten o’clock the next morning, Minister Qian and five other well-dressed men walked out of the Paragon. Jiang Hai hurriedly greeted them, but he was stopped by Minister Qian before he said a word.

“Okay, Mr. Jiang, thank you for your hard work. Come to my office to find me later.”

After hearing this, Jiang Hai was shocked. After sending a few people to the car, he and Cai Zhun took a taxi and came to the office again. building. This time, Minister Qian ordered him to register directly at the door, and then he went in.

Jiang Hai was careful along the way and finally arrived at Minister Qian’s office and knocked gently on the door.

“Please come in.”

After Jiang Hai entered, he found that Minister Qian looked up at him, and then continued to approve documents.

So he could only stand aside with his head bowed, not saying anything, and just waiting. For a moment, the whole office was filled with the sound of turning pages.

It wasn’t until more than half an hour later that Minister Qian stretched himself and saw that Jiang Hai was still standing, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. He knew that in fact, Jiang Hai had suffered a disaster this time, and he himself had not made any mistakes.

After all, not just anyone could entertain him. If Jiang Hai hadn’t been so smart, he wouldn’t have even seen him.

For example, a few days ago, a small business owner also had his payment for goods stolen. He asked for it several times but did not get it back, so he went to petition directly. As a result, he is still being detained and will be sent back to his hometown in a few days.

Minister Qian coughed dryly and saw Jiang Hai raising his head to look at him and said, “Mr. Jiang, your matter is more complicated. I think you are an honest person, so I will tell you straight, you don’t want this kind of money.” Back.”

Jiang Hai was shocked. Could it be that the money was really wasted?

Minister Qian continued: “This involves several departments. They are at the same level as me. I can’t help you on my own.” Seeing Jiang Hai’s despair, Minister Qian added : “But if this matter can alert the boss, maybe there will be a turn for the better.”

Jiang Hai looked at Minister Qian expectantly, but found that the other party stopped talking and stared at him with a smile on his face. Jiang Hai’s heart moved. , immediately took out the bank card from his wallet. Counting the money spent yesterday, there are still 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in it. I’m afraid it still can’t satisfy Minister Qian’s appetite, but he only has this little money left. He gritted his teeth and immediately handed everything over to Minister Qian.

Minister Qian nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, “Okay, you go out first and wait for me to give you the news.”

Jiang Hai walked out of the office building with a heavy heart. I am afraid that there is little hope of getting the project funds back. If all your belongings are lost like this, half your life’s hard work will be ruined.

More than that, Jiang Hai felt sad when he thought about his wife, his son who had just entered high school, and his parents who had been farmers all their lives.

“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law.” When Cai Zhun saw Jiang Hai coming out, he quickly ran up and asked, “Brother-in-law, how is it? Is the money coming back?” “

Money?” Jiang Hai suddenly felt a pain in his heart when he heard this. I couldn’t help but shed tears, and I couldn’t help but feel the grievances and anger I had felt over the past few days. He looked back at the office building. He really wanted to rush in and beat up all those vampires and make them spit out their money.

Who knew that when he looked back, he saw something strange. Jiang Hai pointed to the roof of the tenth floor of the office building and said stupidly: “What is that?” “

What?” Cai Zhun also looked at the roof. After all, he was younger than Jiang Hai and had much better eyesight. He looked at Jiang Hai’s fingers. direction, a trace of disbelief seemed to flash across his face, and after a few seconds he said hesitantly: “That’s… Minister Qian?”

On the roof of the office building, Minister Qian’s face was pale, sweating profusely, and his two feet They were all suspended outside the building, with one man holding his collar with one hand to prevent him from falling.
