Seven hundred and twentieth chapters the worst news
"I understand, let me do it. When I have time in the future, I will teach you how to fish..." Hong Tao reached out and took the fishing rod over, and then removed the line cup of the reel, going round and round.
Untie the fishing line.
"I think you have become less talkative this time. You used to talk all day long. When we first moved into your house, Irene's mother said that you are an optimistic person by nature. If I live with you, you will definitely not
You will grow old too early because you are always happy." Sam stopped fishing and began to feed the fish with the bread in his hand. There were quite a lot of fish in the water. Throwing the bread crumbs away would attract a group of small fish.
"You think if Irene and I have a child, will it be like me? Or will it be like Irene?" Hong Tao untied the fishing line, reinstalled the fishing reel, and then took a small piece of bread from Sam's hand
, knead it into a dough, hang it on the hook, and throw it out.
"It's better to look like Irene and have a temper like you. You're not good-looking at all. If I had a granddaughter who looked like you, I would have nightmares every night." Sam didn't save Hong Tao any face.
Seriously.
"I agree with your point of view. Fortunately, Irene was not like you, otherwise I would have had to sneak out on the first day they came to my house." Hong Tao could not suffer the loss in vain, so he immediately fought back.
Throughout the afternoon, Hong Tao and Sam were fishing on the small pier. They didn't catch a few fish, but they talked a lot. They talked about Irene, Katie, and their future children. The only thing they didn't say was that Hong Tao is now
Neither Sam nor Hong Tao wanted to mention that investment. Hong Tao probably understood what Sam meant. He was afraid that Hong Tao's mood would change after the investment failed, which would affect his relationship with Irene.
This problem is very common and exists in both China and the United States. After such a blow, many men's temperaments change drastically, which in turn triggers a series of chain reactions and eventually leads to the separation of their wives. Hong Tao understood Sam's mood. He also told her tactfully
With Sam, myself and Erin already
He was considering having a child, so he gave Sam a reassurance pill in disguise. Sam also understood, but it was unclear whether he really reassured Hong Tao. Anyway, the two sons-in-law and Weng had a very happy chat, and they also agreed to go to see Old Gale together sometime.
, and by the way, go to that strip club in Toronto.
While having dinner, Hong Tao's cell phone suddenly rang. Hong Tao's heart trembled when he heard that special ringtone. It was a call from China! It was usually nothing important, and no one in China would make him an overseas call.
"Sam, Laura, I have to go back to China right away. If you have any questions at the company, please contact me. Eileen, let's pack up and go directly to the airport." After answering the phone, Hong Tao felt that Sam had spent the entire afternoon helping him adjust his mood, which was considered a good thing.
It was all in vain, the molar teeth that were no longer painful began to throb and ache again.
"...I'll go upstairs first..." Erin took a deep breath and walked upstairs.
"So anxious? Is this a bad thing?" Mrs. Boggis was a little worried and asked Hong Tao in a low voice.
"It's okay, it's just a matter of contract. I am a legal person. I have to go back. Sam, we had a good chat in the afternoon. I will come back to compete at the end of the month and I will teach you how to fish. Guarding such a lake
"It would be a waste not to fish." Hong Tao calmed down and said something to Sam that others could not understand.
"Well. It's best if you bring those fishing rods of yours. I remember you have a lot of them at home, so I don't have to buy them. Where will you be competing next time? Laura and I also want to have a look." Sam patted.
His wife's shoulders signaled her not to worry.
"Lewis Smith Lake is right next to Birmingham. I'm leaving first. We'll see you in Alabama." Hong Tao stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Burgess, then high-fived Sam goodbye.
This call came from Pan. Just this morning, an inspection team from the Ministry of Water Resources suddenly came to the reservoir. They said that the contracting procedures for the reservoir were incomplete and demanded that all business activities be stopped immediately. Then they went to the Provincial Department of Water Resources to explain the situation. Hong Tao left
The person in charge at the reservoir immediately called Gao Miao. Gao Miao called Pan, and Pan called Deputy County Magistrate Qiu and Deputy Director Dou. In the end, neither of them was there. The secretary said that they were not there.
Went on a business trip.
Pan immediately felt that something was wrong. She had already bought a plane ticket and flew directly to Qinhuangdao. She called Hong Tao just before boarding the plane and told him that if he could come back, he had better come back and go back to Beijing to hear her news first before deciding to go.
If you don’t go to Shijiazhuang, the Hebei Provincial Water Resources Department is in Shijiazhuang.
Hong Tao and Irene flew from Buffalo Airport to New York that night, went to Irene's apartment to sleep for a short while, and then departed from New York early the next morning and flew directly to Beijing. After returning home, Hong Tao handed over the contract
I took out all the procedures and contract documents for the reservoir and studied them all night with Erin, Katie, Rachel and Gao Miao. Finally, I came to the conclusion that there are only two possibilities for this matter, one of which is easy to handle.
, the other one is very troublesome.
The first possibility is that you just caught up with the surprise inspection by the Ministry of Water Resources. If this is the case, please find some connections and spend some money, and you should be fine. The only problem is how much the fine will be. This has nothing to do with what you are looking for.
Whether the relationship is strong or not is directly linked to it.
The second possibility is that Hong Tao was tricked. His procedures were basically sound, but the only thing missing was an approval document from the Ministry of Water Resources. Deputy Director Dou personally promised him that this was just a formality process and there would be no problem. So Hong Tao ignored it.
, until now I just remembered that there is still a missing procedure. If the other party came here for this matter, it is definitely not an accident.
"The first possibility is very small. There are no surprise inspections in China. When the inspection team comes down, the province and city will definitely get the news, but no one told us in advance. If we talk about our relationship with the local government office
No, this makes sense, but it is not the case. The cooperation between Pan and the city has just begun, and the main funds have not yet been received. They will not do this.
This means that this inspection team came specifically for me and went directly to our reservoir. I think it is better to prepare according to the second possibility. Think about it for me, who did I offend?" Hong Tao, although
He is not a qualified businessman, and he is quite arrogant, but he has been in the society for decades in his previous life, so he can still figure this out.
"Will he be the previous contractor?" Gao Miao's brain was so good that he immediately thought of a very powerful person.
"It shouldn't be him. If his energy could go directly to the ministry, we wouldn't be able to contract the reservoir in the first place, and his background is not that deep. Even if he wants to take back the reservoir, he should talk to us first. No
Maybe just do it like this
, This is not good for him at all." Hong Tao thought about it. Although the water level in the reservoir has risen slightly now, it is not obvious. If the water level really rises, the floods from the upper reaches of the summer must come down. There is no reason for the contractor to suddenly
Be tough on yourself.
"Did you go out to eat and offend that woman? Or her husband?" Reacher raised another possibility.
"Gao Miao, please take your wife away quickly. Are you helping or stirring up trouble? When I was in Beijing, I didn't come back to stay that night! Ask Katie and Pan, I...
.Get her away quickly!" Hong Tao had just finished speaking when he remembered that Irene was still there and quickly stopped talking.
"Don't be anxious. Let's wait for Pan's call. Maybe we are all worried. It's getting late. Go to bed first. You can go to the hospital to have your teeth taken care of tomorrow." Irene made a concluding speech.
Pan was very efficient in her work. She called Hong Tao the next afternoon. She probably figured out the matter, but she didn't tell Hong Tao on the phone. She just said that she would be waiting for her at home in the evening and that he would return to Beijing overnight.
Good things never come together, and misfortunes never come alone. On the second day after Hong Tao returned to Beijing, Irene took him to the hospital for a dental appointment. The doctor said that there was a wisdom tooth under Hong Tao's molar, and if he wanted to stop the pain, he had to pull it out. Just pull it out.
Pull it out. Hong Tao is not afraid of pulling out the tooth, but this tooth grows under the molar. The doctor’s fee at Jishuitan Hospital is
After struggling for a long time, I finally used a large stainless steel chisel to break the tooth into pieces and took it out piece by piece. Hong Tao's head was stunned and tears flowed out. It was not painful at all.
, there is anesthetic, it is shocking, every time the chisel goes in, it is like hitting the brain directly.
"What's wrong with your mouth? Were you beaten by Irene?" During dinner in the evening, Pan also came back. He saw that Hong Tao's face was swollen and his lip was broken. He asked Irene with his eyes and mouth.
With Hong Tao.
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business..." Hong Tao interrupted the eye contact between the two women.
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiu didn't know about this, nor did the city. I met Deputy Director Dou, and he said that the inspection team went directly from Beijing, and the province didn't know about it either. They were informed afterward. In addition,
He asked me to bring you a message, he said this
It must have something to do with the fact that you haven't received any approval since you submitted the approval procedures. He asked you if you had offended someone. This person was not from their bureau or the provincial department, but from the Ministry of Water Resources in Beijing." Pan said to her.
Let me tell you what I have learned over the past two days.
"As I thought, who did I offend? Did Deputy Director Dou say who led this investigation team? Even if I am looking for someone, I have to know who the real owner is?" Hong Tao patted him.
Forehead, this time, I felt completely at ease. The news Pan brought back was the worst.
"He said that he is asking someone to ask for you, and he also asked you to ask around here in Beijing. If both parties act together, we should be able to get results faster." Pan served himself a bowl of rice, then sat down to eat.
