The school beauty tortured me physically and mentally, and I was reborn as a licking dog and cut off

Wen Wan still took a step slower.

The detective hired by Ji Heng was Lao Jianghu. He realized that something was wrong and took advantage of a gap to escape quickly.

When Wen Wan rushed to the nursing center again, she only received a USB flash drive containing the footage captured by the camera.

In desperation, Wen Wan had no choice but to return to City C with the surveillance video, preparing to find someone to check the information about the man in the trench coat who appeared in the video.

the other side.

The frowning Sun Biao and Zhao Lehu decided to inform Ji Lengming of the government's arrangements to see what the boss planned to do next.

Ji Lengming was also quite shocked when he heard the news.

In addition to shock, there was also anger.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that the matter is not that simple.

Ji Lengming analyzed it calmly.

"First, someone is playing tricks. Whether someone is really playing tricks and who is playing tricks remains to be investigated."

"Second, they said it was just 'possible to eliminate', not necessarily that they will be eliminated. They are willing to reveal gossip to you, which means there is room for maneuver here."

"Third, since there is room for maneuver, in other words, we need to take the initiative to come to negotiate and the other party will have the dominant position."

"Whether you hang up on us, refuse to answer the phone, or be vague, it may just be a means to force us to submit."

"No matter what, we need to talk to the leading cadres of the Finance Bureau to find out."

Done.

He used his cell phone to call the Office of the Treasurer.

Unexpectedly, this time the other party did not hang up directly, nor did he push or hold back. Instead, he asked Ji Lengming to 'wait a moment'.

Within 3 minutes, a mature and experienced voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was——

"Is it Ji Lengming? Hahaha, I knew you would call. I'm busy now. We can make an appointment to meet."

A series of thoughts flashed through Ji Lengming's mind, and then he said, "Is it okay tonight? I'll have a banquet at Jinfeng Tower."

The person on the other end of the phone thought: This young man is quite good. After leaving him alone for so long, his thoughts were finally paid off.

A promise.

"Okay! But I have a lot of work on my hands, so I might be late. Do you mind if I ask you to wait for me?"

Ji Lengming's posture was still very low.

"Of course I won't mind. I'll find someone to reserve a seat. You must come tonight!"

End the call.

Ji Lengming's face was so gloomy that it dripped water. This expression shocked Sun Biao.

"Boss, what's wrong? What did the other person say?"

Ji Lengming sneered: "They did it on purpose, waiting to take advantage of us!"

After Sun Biao contacted him, he understood what his boss meant.

"This is too blatant! Isn't it said that someone is up to something? Is it the director who is causing trouble?"

Ji Lengming shook his head: "We'll find out tonight!"

-

At eight o'clock in the evening, Jinfeng Tower was magnificent.

In the center of the hall stands a maple tree carved from pure gold. Every detail, including its branches, trunk, and leaves, has completely restored the shape of the maple tree, and exudes a breathtaking light under the bright lights.

In the window box on the third floor, the cold dishes have been served, but there is no one in the box.

Ji Lengming, Zhao Lehu, and Sun Biao were all standing outside the fountain pool downstairs of Jinfeng Tower, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Director Song from the Finance Bureau.

At Ji Lengming's request, Zhao Lehu shaved his messy hair into a buzz cut and paired it with a suit, leather shoes and gold-rimmed glasses. He looked a bit like a scumbag professional elite.

He looked at his watch again.

He muttered irritably: "It's almost eight o'clock, this old guy won't let us go, right?!"

Sun Biao also waited impatiently and said disdainfully: "Officials always have to have some airs, otherwise how can they control us ordinary people!"

Ji Lengming, who was leaning on the marble statue, remained silent.

He originally wanted to go into the box and wait.

But Director Song's secretary called in advance, and the implication was that their director liked the excitement and didn't like walking up the stairs or taking the elevator alone.

In other words, as soon as Director Song gets out of the car, he will see someone greeting him.

It was late at night, and the three of them stood outside for more than an hour just because of a word from Director Song's secretary.

Seeing that his boss was not very interested, Sun Biao said, considering his young age, "Why don't Lehu and I just wait, and you go sit in the box?"

Ji Lengming waved his hand: "I'm not that delicate. Besides, for such a pompous person, if only you are left without me, I'm afraid he will think that we don't give him face!"

When the two of them thought about it, it was exactly this reason.

At 08:30 in the evening, Director Song and his assistant and secretary arrived belatedly.

As soon as the car door opened, a middle-aged man with slicked back hair and not very tall got out of the car.

The other party was dressed quite casually, wearing valuable soft fabrics. It looked like he didn't come down directly from the conference table. He might have gone home to change his clothes.

When he saw Ji Lengming and the others waiting, his eyes lit up.

"Are you Xiao Ji?"

As he spoke, he came over and held Ji Lengming's hand cordially.

Ji Lengming didn't like physical contact with others, but at this moment, he could only endure it.

"Good leader, hard work along the way!"

Director Song: "No hard work, no hard work."

"Oh, it's so late at night, why are you waiting for me outside? What should you do if you catch a cold? Come on, come on, come inside and drink something hot to go away the cold."

He pulled Ji Lengming and walked towards the VIP channel of Jinfeng Tower.

"Even though it's already May, it's still very cold at night. Just wait in the box. You have to come outside!"

Ji Lengming, Sun Biao, and Zhao Desong were almost unanimously thinking: You didn't ask us to wait outside, so why are you pretending to be good people now?

You can’t even pack a Qiaodou sack!

Afraid that Ji Lengming wouldn't be able to handle it alone, Sun Biao and Zhao Lehu hurriedly moved forward.

Sun Biao smiled shyly: "Hello, Director Song, I am Sun Biao. I am Mr. Ji's right-hand man and the company..."

Director Song glanced at Sun Biao and didn't even bother to open his mouth.

Director Song's secretary immediately stopped Sun Biao.

"The leader is talking to Mr. Xiao Ji. If you have anything to say, we can talk to him alone later."

After the secretary finished speaking, Director Song pointedly patted the back of Ji Lengming's hand.

He said in a serious and sincere tone: "You are really young. How can your subordinates interrupt when the leader is talking? You should pay more attention in the future and don't indulge yourself and break the rules!"

The displeasure in Ji Lengming's heart almost overflowed.

Zhao Lehu took the opportunity to wink at him and asked him to pay attention to his expression.

Ji Lengming finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I ordered some dishes because it's evening and they are all easy to digest. You can take a look at the menu later and see if there is anything else you want to order!"

Director Song let out a long sigh: "Hey! Actually, eating is the biggest headache. Today I have to order this, and tomorrow I have to order that. Tell me, how can I eat so much!"

These words are nothing more than showing that there are many people looking for him to do things, highlighting his high position and power.

Ji Lengming smiled: "You have to eat what you should eat. Only when you are full and happy will you have the strength and motivation to work!"

Director Song immediately smiled widely.

"Xiao Ji is right!"

"Actually, the most important thing when working is motivation. Without motivation, no matter how hard you work, it will be useless."

"And once a person gets motivated, Wangwu Taihang can move him away!"

Ji Lengming nodded in agreement.

The two chatted and laughed and arrived at the door of the box.

See the name of the box.

Director Song read out.

"The golden wind and jade dew meet each other. The name of this box is very good and fits the occasion."

With that said, he stepped into the house.

Ji Lengming, Sun Biao, and Zhao Lehu were about to follow, but were stopped by Director Song's bodyguards.

The secretary explained: "Don't be surprised, you three. Our director doesn't want to be disturbed while eating, so please take off your electronic devices."

"Think about it, if your phone vibrates and rings while you are eating, you won't be able to enjoy your meal, right?"

"Don't worry, after the meal, your personal belongings will be returned to you intact!"

Ji Lengming and the three of them looked at each other.

We know each other well.

Interfering with eating is just a high-sounding excuse.

I'm afraid the real reason is that I'm afraid of being secretly photographed and recorded.

Thinking about their own family affairs, the three of them endured it.

After handing over my belongings and being searched again, I was finally able to take a seat.

As soon as we sat down, the waiter came into the room and brought tea.

Director Song took the tea bowl and smelled it, and immediately said: "If you don't want this tea, take your mother tree Dahongpao."

Ji Lengming had no idea about tea before, but following Wen Wan around him, he became more or less influenced by it.

When I heard that Director Song wanted to drink Dahongpao from the mother tree, my tongue suddenly became bitter.

This tea is not cheap.

It can be said that it is the most expensive tea in the country.

There are only six Dahongpao mother trees left, and the tea they produced once sold at an auction for a sky-high price of 208 million yuan per 20 grams.

The money that ordinary people earn throughout their lives is not even comparable to a cup of tea that others drink.

Ji Lengming knew that he would have to pay for the tea in the end, but he didn't want to pay the fee.

He stopped it with words.

"Director Song, I'm here to have a meal. Tea...is free of charge!"

Director Song was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.

The waiter also slowed down his departure because of his words.

Sun Biao sat close to Ji Lengming and kept tugging at the hem of his clothes, reminding him to pay attention to his words.

Everyone present had their eyes fixed on him.

Ji Lengming remained unmoved.

"To be honest, the money should be reserved for building factories, buying equipment, conducting research and development, and hiring talents. I seriously want to build a fab, and every penny must be calculated carefully. So...a million for a pot Dahongpao, I can’t afford it!”

"Make Director Song laugh!"

Seeing that the young man in front of him was openly disobeying his wishes, Director Song's expression changed again and again.

He hummed softly: "Xiao Ji, you have to take a longer view. There are many times when small money cannot come out and big money cannot come in. Don't focus on the three melons and two dates in the bowl. Maybe if you throw away these sesame seeds, you can get a slice. Where’s the melon field!”

Ji Lengming: "I only know that sesame seeds are in the palm of my hand, but the melon fields belong to the melon farmers, not me!"

Director Song thought that this kid was enlightened, but he didn't expect that he would still die like "no oil or salt" as described by others!

Ji Lengming is very famous in official circles.

He was once trapped in Longshan, and he attracted half the people in the city to support him, and he also asked the Standing Committee of the National Congress to draft a new bill for him. Such a person must be a person that many officials are willing to win over and befriend.

But the strange thing is that he shut out all the businessmen and politicians who wanted to get acquainted with him, and many people got a bad start from him.

It is for this reason that Ji Lengming is well-known in their circle, and everyone is guessing who can tame this fierce horse and use it for themselves.

It just so happened that Director Song saw that Ji Lengming's company was applying for special national funds, and as soon as he thought about it, he thought of "treating him".

When I saw this young man taking the initiative to invite me to dinner, I thought he was overthinking it. Unexpectedly, I was still talking to him about unrealistic 'isms'!

Director Song simply stopped acting and showed his cards right away.

"Xiao Ji, do you know that a man came to me two days ago and said that he wanted to invest in real estate in our C city and was willing to spend tens of billions in our C city."

"I thought to myself at the time, this is a good thing. It will boost our city's economy and bring benefits to the people. This is a great merit!"

"Then I heard from someone else. The other person said that investment is possible, but there is a prerequisite, and that is that your grant application cannot be approved."

He chuckled.

"On the one hand, there is tens of billions of investment, and on the other hand, there is a star figure in our city, so I have been struggling."

"Originally, I thought you were a good child, willing to listen to adults and follow the path arranged by adults. For such a well-behaved child, I will help you."

"But when I saw you tonight, it completely changed my understanding of you!"

Ji Lengming was not frightened by these remarks.

However, I also understand that there is indeed "someone causing trouble", and the other party is still investing in real estate, so the identity of the person who caused him trouble can be revealed.

The reason why Director Song did not obey Gideson's arrangement was probably because he wanted to take advantage of both sides.

Not only did he want to get Gideson's investment, but he also wanted to get Ji Lengming's dividends.

Ji Lengming couldn't let such a person take advantage of him.

I have already spent several thousand yuan to treat guests to dinner, where can I spend more money?

He poured himself a glass of water and asked, "If Director Song helps me, the real estate developer will be offended. Are you sure you can offend the real estate developer now?"

Director Song thought that the other party was shocked by what he just said.

He took the tea bowl away from Ji Lengming's hand and looked at him sideways.

"Then it depends on Mr. Ji's price, whether it is higher than others!"
