official career

"It's late at night, and you're taking the trouble to be my driver." Qin Feng said to Li Jing apologetically.

"I'm free at night." Li Jing drove to Hong Yue's school.

"Is there something that made you come back suddenly this time?" Li Jing asked.

"Yes! Xiao Jianan found an old Taoist priest in Sichuan who never leaves the mountain. He is said to be half-immortal and specializes in treating various difficult and complicated diseases, and he has many successful cases. Whether it is true or not, I want Hong Yue to give it a try. If it fails, there will be no loss. But what if it succeeds? Don't you think so?" Qin Feng said.

"I met Meng Dan a few days ago, and she told me about this in great detail. Regardless of whether this old immortal is as powerful as she said, we should give it a try. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, we cannot miss it. It's just... Hong Yue is a little resistant to this matter." Li Jing said.

"Why?" Qin Feng was puzzled.

"She didn't want to see a doctor and gave many reasons, but I guess she was mentally resistant and afraid of suffering another blow after failure," Li Jing analyzed.

"I understand. She is the one who suffers the most. I came back this time specifically to persuade her. She must give it a try no matter what. This...may be her last hope in this life."

"Well, she will go if you persuade her."

"I'm going to Beijing in a couple of days to attend a course. It's a three-month full-time study, so..."

"Don't worry, you just need to persuade her, and I will arrange the rest. You don't have to worry with me here." Li Jing took over Qin Feng's words.

"There's another thing I need your help with." Qin Feng said.

"When have you ever been so polite to me? Just tell me what you want to say."

"Yu Na, you know her. The secretary general of Dongyang City is now the wife of Chen Wuning, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. She is an old friend of mine. We had dinner together before."

"Yeah, I know, what's wrong?"

"As you know, her restaurant is very successful in Dongyang. She plans to open another company in Zhongjiang and enter Zhongjiang's catering industry. She invited me to form a partnership with her, half each. She will provide the capital, management and all the personnel, and I will only be responsible for helping her resolve relationships in Zhongjiang." Qin Feng continued.

"That's a great thing, a business that's sure to make money. With her existing resources and management experience in Dongyang, she will definitely make money by going to Zhongjiang. The risk is very small. After all, the mature team and experience are here. It's just... your identity is not suitable for participation, right?" Li Jing asked.

"Yes, so I need your help. You can go and form a partnership with her to open this company on my behalf. It just so happens that you have also opened a large beauty hospital in Zhongjiang, right? You must be planning to stay in Zhongjiang for a long time in the future."

"As long as you trust me, I will definitely help you. Qin Feng, are you encountering any difficulties?" Li Jing asked.

"Why do you ask that?"

"I know your character too well. If you were not forced, you would never do such a thing. You are not interested in money. If you really want to do business and make money, I opened this beauty salon for you, but you refused to take a penny."

"So you must have encountered some difficulties and are in urgent need of money. If you consider me a friend, just tell me." Li Jing looked at Qin Feng.

"You're right. I was forced to do this." Qin Feng nodded and continued, "I do need money, but not for myself."

"You know my situation. I am penniless. Every month, I have to pay for food and drink, as well as Hong Yue's medication and my daughter's support. There is basically not much left, and sometimes it's not even enough."

"And this time, if the old Taoist priest Xiao Jianan found for Hong Yue can really cure Hong Yue, then this will cost a huge amount of money. I don't know the exact amount, but it will not be less than one million. Xiao Jianan naturally hopes that he will help me pay this money, so that I can get on his boat."

"It's not that I don't trust Xiao Jianan. Xiao Jianan is generally a trustworthy person. He is a long-term investment in me and will not do anything to let me down. This will not be good for him."

"But even so, I can't pin my future on him. Besides, this is suspected of bribery, which is not my principle."

"Also, if I really ask him to pay me to cure Hong Yue, if he pays one million, I must at least create three to five million in profits for him."

"So, no matter what, I need to return this money to Xiao Jianan."

"Of course, this is based on the premise that Hong Yue is cured. If she can't be cured, it means that Hong Yue will have to live like this for the rest of her life. In that case, I must also make plans for the rest of her life, which also includes the physical therapy, nursing care, and daily medical expenses that Hong Yue will need in the later stages of her life."

"So, no matter what the situation is, I have to start saving money. My salary is not enough for daily expenses, and I can't possibly embezzle or take bribes, so this kind of borderline business is my only choice." Qin Feng explained to Li Jing in detail what he was thinking.

Li Jing nodded after listening and asked Qin Feng: "Your idea is right. I support you this time. But, this Yu Na is like giving you such a huge bargain for free. Is it reliable?"

"Don't worry, he's very reliable. If he wasn't a reliable person, I would never agree to take this step."

"I guess there are three reasons why Yu Na wanted to partner with me. The first is naturally out of friendship with me. She wanted to help me so that we can make money together."

"Secondly, she said clearly that she would need connections in all aspects to go to Zhongjiang, but she doesn't have this. As long as I am a partner, there will be no problem in Zhongjiang. This is actually very important for a company like hers that goes to Zhongjiang from other places. If she doesn't find me as a partner, she will also need to find someone else who has influence in Zhongjiang to be a partner. It's better for me to make this money than for others to make it?"

"Of course, this alone is not worth 50% of the shares. She is willing to give up half of the shares. Naturally, she hopes to tie me to the two of them, especially Chen Wuning. In this way, Chen Wuning will directly get all my connections in the province."

"The couple has made a very careful calculation. By this calculation, they can use half of my shares to lock me in, and they will make a lot of money." Qin Feng analyzed with a smile.

Li Jing didn't quite understand the next two points Qin Feng said, but she also knew that these were not things she should understand, let alone ask, so even if she didn't understand, she didn't ask.

"But even though I know this is a trap set by the couple to trap me and tie me to them, I still have to fall into it because I really need money now." Qin Feng smiled bitterly.
