By the time Bao, the owner of Gujiang Winery, figured out what had happened, it was already close to 11 noon. He was sitting in the car, looking at the winery through the window, holding his mobile phone in one hand.
"Hello, Director Liu? I'm Xiaobao, from Gujiang Winery."
"Mr. Bao, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"People from your health bureau have been here before. In fact, my winery was framed and a lot of bugs were released. I..."
"Wait! Apart from this matter, we can talk about other things."
"Director Liu, please help me this time. Once I..."
"Can't help!"
"Director Liu! Director Liu!" Mr. Bao shouted a few words even though he heard that the other party had hung up the phone.
"Damn it!" Mr. Bao cursed in a low voice and called Deputy Director Zhang of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
"Ju Zhang, it's me, Xiaobao from Gujiang Winery."
"Bao always comes to me about the winery?"
"yes, I……"
Mr. Bao's voice stopped suddenly. He didn't expect that the other party would hang up directly.
Mr. Bao was so angry that his whole body was shaking, but thinking about the crisis in the winery, he still gritted his teeth and continued to call, this time to friends from the public security fire department.
I called four people, but one person refused to answer. I called three times in a row, and all three times they hung up and refused to answer. As for the other three people, no matter how I called, they all said they were on the phone. Mr. Bao quickly understood that his mobile phone number had been pulled by them.
Enter the blacklist.
Mr. Bao never thought that he, a multi-millionaire, would be what he is today. His face turned red with anger, he slapped the steering wheel, and cursed. After cursing for three minutes, Mr. Bao called his friends at the newspaper and the TV station. But...
Except for one person who asked for help, everyone responded in a perfunctory manner.
The more Mr. Bao thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, but he did not give up. He called seven close and well-connected friends one after another. They all offered help and asked him to wait for the call.
Mr. Bao breathed a sigh of relief. He had good friendships with these seven people. One of them was worth more than one billion, and one was the deputy director of the municipal government. The other was an old classmate who had already gone to college. This old classmate had hope.
He was promoted to major general because his father-in-law was a lieutenant general.
Ten minutes later, the deputy director called.
"Brother Qiu, how are you?" Mr. Bao asked hurriedly.
"Alas!" A long sigh came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother Qiu, don't scare me."
"Old Bao, you should know who I am. If you believe me, just listen to me, pack your things and run away immediately. The further away, the better. As long as you leave Dongjiang, you can make a comeback."
Mr. Bao was frightened. Deputy Director Qiu’s rank was the same as Deputy Director Wu Hao who led the team to the winery today. He was very aware of Deputy Director Qiu’s energy. Back then, a friend offended a relative of the deputy mayor. As a result,
Deputy Director Qiu intervened and resolved the grievances between the two people.
Mr. Bao originally thought that even if this matter was difficult, Deputy Director Qiu would say that there was nothing he could do at most, but what Deputy Director Qiu said made Mr. Bao terrified.
"Brother Qiu, can you explain it in detail? I really understand."
"I really can't say it. If I say it, I will die in an unknown situation. If I call you now, I have risked my position. I have really done my best."
"Master Fang is really that domineering? Yes, I have heard rumors about him recently, but isn't he relying on the He family? Besides, it is impossible for him to do what happened to the Xiang family on his own. He obviously did it with the help of others. Some people say
He may be just like Pang Jingzhou, a white glove of a certain family."
"Backed by who's family? That's an old rumor."
"What's the new rumor?"
"The He family relies on him. As No. 4 in Namyuan Province, He Changling does not follow the formal procedures and comes to Dongjiang on weekends. How many people will gossip about this? Is this the kind of treatment that white gloves can get? Alas, I dare not
There’s more to say, Master Fang’s magical power is so powerful, he might already know our conversation. Some people say that if you praise Master Fang, he may not know, but if you criticize Master Fang, he will definitely know!”
"No, it's impossible. If he is so powerful, why didn't I know?"
"I don't want to hurt you, but you're really not qualified to know. Okay, I'm done. It's up to you whether you want to or not. I have something else to do, let's talk about it later."
Mr. Bao held his cell phone for a long time before slowly putting it down.
Mr. Bao felt strong regret in his heart. He suddenly remembered the incident of framed Fang Tianfeng and the water plant yesterday. At that time, he also ridiculed Fang Tianfeng for being too young and too ignorant of the cruelty of society. But now he realized that he did not understand Master Fang.
"Is Master Fang more cruel than society?"
Mr. Bao sat quietly. He still had hope in his heart. Even if Deputy Director Qiu couldn't solve the problem, there would always be friends who could get in touch with Master Fang.
When the cell phone rang, Mr. Bao jumped up like a preying snake and quickly picked up the phone to answer it.
"I am here."
"Old Bao, you have hurt me!"
"Ah? What's going on?" Mr. Bao had a bad feeling in his heart. The person who called him this time was his friend worth over one billion.
"I inquired about it and learned that it was related to Master Fang. I have heard of this person. He is a new celebrity who has emerged in Dongjiang recently. I have a friend in Jiayuan Real Estate who knows him. Then I contacted my friend and asked him about it.
Master, can you let me go? But that friend didn’t ask the reason at all, and taught me a lesson, which made me feel wronged. I won’t repeat what he said. I will only repeat one sentence. He said, let’s talk about the entire Jiayuan Group and them.
The people behind him are tied together, and they are not enough for Master Fang to slap him in the face."
"How is that possible!" Mr. Bao was horrified. He knew very well the background of Jiayuan Real Estate. More than half of the shareholders were relatives of local officials, and the rest all had extraordinary backgrounds. If any shareholder scolded Mr. Bao, Mr. Bao could only do so.
Bear it patiently and never dare to say anything back.
Even He Changxiong, the famous fourth son of the He family, dare not say that he can firmly suppress the Jiayuan Group. He at least needs his eldest brother He Changling. The only person who dares to say that Jiayuan Real Estate can be solved with one slap is the person back then.
Mr. He who served as Dongjiang No. 1 is not even the current Mr. He.
"Then, what should we do?"
"Go to Chang'an Garden to apologize. Anyway, you are not the first, nor the last. If Master Fang is happy, everyone will be happy. If Master Fang is unhappy, it will be good if you can save your life. Alas, my friend told me to stay away from you.
You are said to be a big disaster. However, after all, we have been friends for so many years. I would like to give you one final advice: whatever you would do if you offended the No. 1 in the province, you should do it now. I’m done."
Mr. Bao stayed in the car seat and offended the province's No. 1, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary? Of course he ran as far as he could. Not to mention No. 1, he couldn't even afford to offend No. 10 or No. 20.
Not long after, the classmate who was a college student called me.
"Old Bao, are you crazy? Who are you offending? How dare you offend Master Fang? Every time my father-in-law drinks on his birthday, he brags about what he did back then, but as he talks, he changes the subject and says that he is in front of Mr. He.
Not even a shit, he also said that if Mr. He hadn't saved his hometown village, he wouldn't be where he is today. Old classmate, I can help you with other things, but when it comes to the He family, I really can't help you. I listen.
Although Master Fang is ruthless, he is also a reasonable person. He did not personally deal with you this time. It means you still have hope. Tell me what you did to him."
Mr. Bao didn't dare to hide it. First he said he would help the Xiang family suppress Fang Tianfeng, and then he said he would spread rumors to destroy Fang Tianfeng's water plant.
"Do you know why the county party secretary of Yushui County resigned early?"
"Why?"
"Because his son sent people to destroy Master Fang's water plant, but it hasn't been completed yet. What you did is worse than destroying the water plant. Don't talk about me. Even if my father-in-law comes forward, I can't save you. Alas, what can you do?
It’s so confusing! You can do it yourself.”
Mr. Bao knew that not only was the winery in ruins, he was also in ruins.
"I still have one last chance!" Mr. Bao growled through gritted teeth, and then dialed an old mobile phone number that he hadn't called in a long time. It was that person who made a secret deal with him back then, one got the winery, and the other got benefits.
"Hello, I am Wei Hongtu."
"Wei, leader Wei, this is me, Xiaobao from Gujiang Winery."
"Well, what's the matter?" Wei Hongtu's voice was as calm as before, but Mr. Bao felt endless pressure.
"If I hadn't been desperate, I would never have come to you. I had dinner with your nephew that day, and he asked me to help suppress Master Fang's water plant, which I did. But now Master Fang has put a lot of bugs in my plant, and then let
People from the government went to my place to inspect and even brought reporters. Once this matter was exposed, even if someone knew that the winery was framed, no one would dare to buy my wine. Can you help suppress this news?
"I, I also spread rumors about Master Fang's water plant, saying that his water plant was contaminated." Mr. Bao didn't dare to hide it anymore.
"Let me think about it."
"It's a life-or-death situation now. The news may be broadcast in the evening. I can't wait." Mr. Bao blurted out.
"Are you not satisfied?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that. I spoke rudely because I was anxious. I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"Remember, some people may be proud for a while, but they may not be proud forever. What you did for our Wei family, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart. If you suffer a loss for a while, you may not suffer a loss for the rest of your life. I am busy with important things now, so I can't say much.
, hang up first."
Mr. Bao was about to say something, but Wei Hongtu had already hung up.
Mr. Bao slammed his fist on the steering wheel and cursed: "You villain! You bastard! You think about it, you don't want to help at all! What a temporary thing, it's just an excuse! If my factory is destroyed, no matter how big you become,
Officer, can you bring the dead back to life? Can you give me tens of millions?"
Mr. Bao's eyes were red, and he wanted to threaten Wei Hongtu about the acquisition of a state-owned enterprise, but he was not completely crazy after all. He knew that if he didn't tell him, there would be a chance of survival in the future. If he did, it would be like digging his own grave.
With a livid face, Mr. Bao thought about it for a full hour in the car before he made up his mind and drove away, heading to Chang'an Garden for the second time.
In this hour, five of the seven very good friends replied, and the answers were surprisingly consistent. They all said there was nothing they could do, but the other two never called back. However, those two people once said that their friends had nothing to do with Master Fang.
Very familiar.
Arriving at the gate of Chang'an Garden again, Mr. Bao was extremely exhausted, as if a mountain was weighing on his body and he was about to collapse at any time.
When he left yesterday, he was still as proud as an old Jianghu who was about to win, but now, he is as disgraced as a lost dog. (To be continued...)
