Although there was no formal appointment, in fact, it was not Liu Haiqing that Li Hu beat in front of Zheng Shanao and three others, but the special representative of Lixing Society in Tianjin.
But Li Hu didn't know this, and when he realized something was wrong, Liu Haiqing had already returned to the courtyard next door.
In the room, Qian Jin had just left through the back door, and Teng Jie was listening to his subordinate's report: "When Liu Haiqing came out from the next door, his face was covered in blood, but he cleaned it up before entering the door, probably because he was afraid that you would see it."
"Did Li Hu beat him?" Tengjie asked.
"Yes, but I don't know why I hit him. It's just that Li Hu was so angry that I could hear it even standing at the door." His subordinates reported.
"It's really interesting..." Tengjie's lips curled up, "Who do you think this Liu Haiqing is?"
"I don't dare to speak nonsense," the subordinate said.
Tengjie smiled: "Before entering the door, he knew how to cover up the blood stains and did not deliberately make himself miserable. It shows that this person is not a villain at least. Let him come in."
"yes!"
After a while, Liu Haiqing came in. He deliberately stood in the shadow of the dim light, stood at attention and said loudly: "Liu Haiqing, a low-ranking official, please see the president!"
Tengjie said: "Li Hu asked you to come over. What's the matter?"
"Reporting to the president, Director Li asked Bei Zhi to ask about the foot business," Liu Haiqing said respectfully, "Bi Zhi misunderstood Director Li's meaning, so there was a two-part dispute."
"Tell me more details," Tengjie said.
"Yes!" Liu Haiqing took a deep breath.
"Since the establishment of the Zhongyi Society, 30% of the profits have been made from monopoly. Such a size has reached the critical point that all parties in Tianjin can accept. If we go further, I am afraid it will cause a backlash, and it is not suitable to expand further." Liu Haiqing said, "
I'm worried about official duties despite my humble position, but I can't violate Director Li's orders, so when I did this, I made some private opinions..."
"In my humble position, I hired a relatively trustworthy local snake to work for Director Li. After the agreement was completed, we would get 40% of the shares. But these gangs have nothing to do with our Zhongyi Society. We are related to various people on the streets of Jinmen.
The balance between forces will not be broken..."
"It's very safe. Does Li Hu blame you for taking the initiative, or does he think the 40% profit is less?" Teng Jie asked calmly.
"I'm afraid there are both." Liu Haiqing smiled bitterly.
"You, who are working for him, know how to take care of the overall situation, but he, the director, is only interested in personal gain and greedy!" Tengjie said coldly, "Liu Haiqing, step forward!"
Liu Haiqing was silent for a moment before walking forward.
Tengjie looked at Liu Haiqing's red and swollen face and asked calmly: "Why were you beaten?"
"For the public, I have a clear conscience, but for private purposes, I still feel guilty..." Liu Haiqing said, "It's a good fight. After these few blows, I feel better."
"You bitch!" Tengjie cursed and looked at Liu Haiqing with even more admiration, "Didn't you mention me to him?"
Liu Haiqing was silent. When Tengjie frowned, he said in a low voice: "I mentioned it."
Tengjie's face immediately turned cold.
"You are representing Lixingshe now. Not everyone is qualified to fight." Tengjie said slowly.
Just as he was talking, the guard at the door reported: "President, Li Hu is here."
"Let him in." Tengjie said, then turned to Liu Haiqing and said: "You have done your best to him. I don't want to hear you speak for him later. Do you understand?"
Before Liu Haiqing could answer, Li Hu came in.
When he came in, he didn't even look at Liu Haiqing. After giving Tengjie a military salute, he said loudly: "For this humble position, please see the president!"
"What's the matter?" Tengjie asked expressionlessly.
Li Hu said: "It's about the issue of whereabouts caused by the clues about Wang Yaqiao's escape. I wanted to wait until the incident is over before giving you a unified report..."
After saying this, he paused and then looked at Liu Haiqing: "Liu Haiqing, have you told the president about this?"
"I told you a few things." Liu Haiqing replied honestly.
A flash of anger flashed in Li Hu's eyes, and he felt secretly resentful.
The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He always felt that Liu Haiqing was acting strangely. In addition, this guy ran to the next door after being beaten. He was probably here to accuse him of being cunning.
Now when I asked, it turned out to be true!
"You are really impatient..." Li Hu said with a half-smile, "Before the matter is finished, you haven't even reported the situation to me, your direct boss, and you have already reported it to the president without telling me? You can
You really know the rules!”
"Speak if you have anything to say!" Tengjie said impatiently, "Whose bad habits did you learn from to make insinuations?"
Li Hu's face turned pale, and his heart suddenly pounded. He was even more angry with Liu Haiqing. What on earth did this guy say bad things about himself to Teng Jie, causing Teng Jie to have such a bad attitude towards him?
Could it be that the incidents at the Baihe and Dinggu docks were also spread out?
That must be the case, this damn insidious villain!
"Yes, President!" Li Hu stood at attention, "I will give you a comprehensive report right now!"
At the moment, he started from what happened at Dinggu and Baihe Wharf a month ago, portraying himself as a strategist, and told the story again.
"I have made a written report on these matters long ago. The report is locked in the safe in my office. If you don't believe me, I can get it to you now." Li Hu explained, "If my subordinates are really seeking personal gain, how could they do this?
Have you prepared a written report a long time ago? Your subordinates just thought that the 20% of the shares for two people was too small, so they thought about planning for more shares and then report to you in a unified manner. Who knows, but they were taken advantage of by the villain?
Kongzi, I misunderstood my subordinate’s heart of fist!"
Liu Haiqing stood aside expressionlessly, showing no reaction to Li Hu's words, but secretly praised this guy's caution in his heart.
He can guarantee that the written report was prepared just to deal with today's situation, and may never be used.
But once used, it can save lives.
The presence of that report shows that Li Hu was not corrupt, but that the reporting arrangement was delayed.
"What's going on with that footwear at the train station?" Tengjie asked expressionlessly, "Why is the existence of this footwear not shown on the books? You've had this footwear for more than two months, is it also you?
Do you want to report to me collectively in the future?"
Liu Haiqing, you really sold me out completely...
Li Hu was even more angry in his heart, but calmly explained on the surface: "I reported this operation to you last month. I sent my secretary Qian to Jinling to report the situation and reconcile the accounts, but because of the
Too many files..."
Li Hu explained everything clearly.
In short, his excuse is reasonable and not far-fetched, but it can also be regarded as a coincidence.
"What about the 20% of profits you withhold every month?" Tengjie still didn't say anything, but continued to ask.
Li Hu explained again and made excuses.
Although Li Hu explained it very well and made it difficult for people to catch him, Liu Haiqing, who was originally a little worried, became more and more confident.
He was originally worried that Li Hu would be able to avoid this disaster with a sly plan.
But now, Li Hu is so well prepared that Liu Haiqing is not worried anymore.
He sneered in his heart, Li Hu was so clever that his cleverness led him to dig a hole for himself!
Regarding Li Hu's corruption, could he really fool Tengjie into thinking that he was incorruptible?
Of course it's impossible, Tengjie is not a fool!
So Tengjie knew that Li Hu must be greedy.
Li Hu found so many reasons, not to explain to Tengjie, but to make Tengjie unable to do anything to him.
What happens when a boss knows that his subordinate has made a mistake, but there is nothing he can do about it?
Sure enough, as Li Hu explained more and more, he became more and more self-explanatory. Although Tengjie's expression was still calm and calm, the coldness in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
After all, Li Hu was not really stupid. He was keenly aware of Tengjie's increasingly depressed momentum and stopped talking.
"Are you finished?" Tengjie asked.
"Say, it's over." Li Hu said with some fear, "President, what I said is true."
Tengjie asked casually: "Do you want me to believe what you said?"
"President, everything I tell you is true, I will never deceive you," Li Hu said.
Liu Haiqing on the side couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
He knew that Li Hu was finished!
What Tengjie asked Li Hu just now was to give Li Hu his last chance.
In fact, Li Hu is greedy, and Tengjie may not do anything to him.
But if he told Tengjie lies with his eyes open, Tengjie would definitely not forgive him.
"You go out first." Tengjie said calmly.
Li Hu was startled, his expression a little confused.
Tengjie had no attitude at all, which made him feel a little unsure.
He hesitated and asked tentatively: "President, Liu Haiqing, he..."
"Get lost!" Tengjie's eyes were indifferent and his voice was neither soft nor serious.
However, when this sound fell into Li Hu's ears, it was no different than a thunder.
He was stunned for a long time, and then his face suddenly turned pale.
"Director Li, please!" The guard on one side stepped forward and stood in front of him with an evil look on his face.
"I..." Li Hu's lips moved.
"Please!" the guard took a step forward.
Li Hu was shocked, turned around and walked out in despair.
It wasn't until Li Hu walked out of the room that Tengjie sighed and said, "This is a warning, understand?"
Liu Haiqing said solemnly: "Yes! I will never dare to become the second Li Hu in my humble position!"
Tengjie nodded and said: "Starting tomorrow, you will take office. I will notify the comrades in Jinmen to hold a temporary meeting. At the meeting, I will personally read out your appointment. Your first task is to investigate Li Hu's crimes.
In fact, I will let Qian Jin cooperate with you."
Liu Haiqing's heart trembled. When did Secretary Qian become Tengjie's person?
When he looked at Tengjie again, he felt a little more in awe.
On the other side, Li Hu returned to Cai Mansion in despair, full of fear.
"Virgo, Hu Desheng and the other three are still waiting for you in the living room..."
"Let them go!" Li Hu waved his hand. How could he be in the mood to see them again at this time?
Hu Desheng and the other three were kicked out by their master inexplicably, and naturally they were not in a good mood.
But as soon as they went out, they were stopped by Liu Haiqing.
"Three of you, I, Liu Haiqing, we just met before, and I was the one who was slapped and kicked by President Li." Liu Haiqing smiled and handed over to the three of them.
He exposed himself, but the three of them did not dare to neglect him.
"Mr. Liu, do you have any advice?" Zheng Shanao asked.
"I don't take it as advice. I just have some brief opinions about Pier 8 and Jiuda Pier. I would like to share it with the three of you." Liu Haiqing said.
"We have already discussed this matter with President Li." Zou Rong interjected with a look on his face, "We have also finalized the solution. We are naturally willing to listen to Mr. Liu's opinion, but Mr. Liu's opinion represents President Li's opinion.
?"
"Director Li's meaning neither represents mine nor the meaning of Zhongyi Society." Liu Haiqing said with a smile, "So I'm sorry, no matter what the three of you have agreed with Director Li, Zhongyi Society will not
Will admit it."
The three people's expressions suddenly changed.
Hu Desheng was furious: "What on earth is your Zhongyi Society doing? Can everything you said be considered fart?"
"Boss Hu can indeed regard what Li Hu said as farts." Liu Haiqing said calmly, "But you might as well listen to what Mr. Liu said. It's also my fault for being abrupt. Logically speaking, these words will be heard by me tomorrow
If I tell the three more, the weight will be different, but I’m worried that if we don’t express our position in time, the three of us will misunderstand and do something that no one wants to see..."
The three of them looked at each other.
If we talk about it tomorrow, the portion size will be different? Can Li Hu’s words be regarded as farts?
The three of them are all old foxes, so they naturally understood the implication of Liu Haiqing's words.
The faces of the three of them were now much more solemn.
"What do you think Mr. Liu has to say?" Zheng Shanao asked.
"I can't talk about high opinions." Liu Haiqing said with a smile, "I'm just speaking from my heart."
"I found out what happened to Wang Siqiang, so I have the most say in this case." Liu Haiqing said, "This case is indeed the work of Wang Siqiang personally. It has nothing to do with Tiandao Martial Arts School, and has nothing to do with martial arts or footwork.
.”
"Mr. Liu is willing to prove our innocence. I couldn't be more grateful." Zou Rong said.
"Director Zou, don't be too busy thanking me." Liu Haiqing said with a smile, "Listen to what I have to say. Although Wang Siqiang did the matter, Wang Siqiang is a member of your martial arts school and a walking person after all. Strictly speaking, Zhi Siqiang
Isn't it an exaggeration to accuse you of lax supervision and harboring filth?"
"So you can't settle this matter just by throwing out the top four." Liu Haiqing continued, "You must hand over Jiuda Wharf. This is non-negotiable. As the saying goes, if you lose money, you will avoid disaster. If you are not willing to lose money, then
Disaster will be inevitable. I will say this and let the three of you weigh it yourself."
The three people have different expressions.
"What about Pier 8?" Hu Desheng asked, "Geng Liangchen robbed two piers at one time. Does your Zhongyi Society ignore the rules of footwork?"
"I don't understand what Boss Hu is saying," Liu Haiqing said with a smile, "Didn't Geng Liangchen follow the rules of his feet when he was rushing to the dock?"
"Mr. Liu, there's no point in pretending to be confused when you think you understand!" Hu Desheng said, "It's not that Geng Liangchen doesn't abide by the rules, but that you, the Zhongyi Society, don't abide by the rules!"
