Shen Ji and Chen Rong parked their cars in the underground garage of Dongsheng Building and took the elevator to Ding Zhaoqiang's office on the 28th floor.
Compared with the luxurious and spacious office environment of Dongsheng's major departments, Ding Zhaoqiang's personal office is much simpler. In the large room facing the Lilac Citizen Park, two rows of Ming and Qing style boxwood bookshelves stand against the wall, with the office in the middle and close to the wall. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a small reception area in the corner.
The secretary knocked on the door, and Chen Rong and Shen Ji saw that Ding Zhaoqiang and Dong Chengpeng were sitting with Lu Jianchao in the reception area, chatting. Xu Xin was also standing aside, but saw that Ding Zhaoqiang was wearing reading glasses and was holding a document in his hand to read carefully. , Xu Xingang should have brought some document from the CEO to Ding Zhaoqiang to sign.
Shen Ji was not surprised when he saw Lu Jianchao sitting here.
Even if Lu Yan is not the only male of this generation of the Lu family, it is impossible for the Lu family to exchange him for the role of Zhou Han.
Although "Dui Zi" was a little more cruel, Cao Mo was right. The Lu family had been a justice of the peace over the years, and using such cruel methods was no longer as good as Cao Mo, who didn't have too many scruples. Cao Mo was in a more... Struggling to rise from the chaotic, dark mire.
Besides, Lu Yan was imprisoned in Kanem for a long time, and the domestic media captured the situation, which will inevitably have an unpredictable impact on the listed company Taihua Group.
Now the Lu family wanted to ask for peace, but they couldn't bear to go directly to Cao Mo for talks, so they had no choice but to come over and act as a middleman.
"Taihua will find a way to withdraw the case in the next few days, but from Kanem, we need a guarantee..." Lu Jianchao looked at Shen Ji, and Chen Rong walked in and said straight to the point.
Chen Rong stood leaning against the desk with her hands folded, not wanting to talk to Lu Jianchao.
"Shen Ji, give Cao Mo a call." Ding Zhaoqiang gave the command to Shen Ji.
Shen Ji could not rebel against Ding Zhaoqiang's authority.
Of course, he could only serve as a sounding board in this matter and couldn't help persuade him, so he didn't step aside and took out his cell phone. He also pressed the speakerphone button to call Cao Mo:
"Cao Mo, Mr. Chen and I just arrived at Dongsheng Building. Mr. Lu is here. I pressed the speaker phone on my phone. Everyone can hear what you say. Taihua will find a way to withdraw the case in the next few days, but I hope Lu Yan is stuck. In Naim’s case, can you give a guarantee..."
"What guarantee can I give? Are the laws and regulations of Kanem just toys that I play with at will? Shen Ji, tell this to Mr. Lu who always wants to cover up the sky with one hand. What guarantee does he want? I There is nothing I can do, I am not as lawless as he imagined!" Cao Mo's cold voice came from the phone.
Lu Jianchao worked hard mentally, but when he heard Cao Mo's words, he still couldn't help but feel his forehead beating "quickly", and his heart was also anxious for a while. After a while, he was able to say calmly:
"I don't need your guarantee that the Longta police will withdraw the case, but as long as you promise not to intervene in Lu Yan's case, I will arrange for Taihua to withdraw the report to the city's Criminal Investigation Corps..."
Ding Zhaoqiang lowered the document in his hand and glanced at Dong Chengpeng, but in the end he did not express any opinion.
Xu Xin just took the documents
I came to sign for Ding Zhaoqiang. I had no idea what happened today. Listening to Cao Mo's strong smell of gunpowder on the phone, I opened my beautiful eyes and looked at everyone in the office.
"Mr. Lu, are you kidding? When did I intervene in Lu Yan's case? He was playing with an underage Yoruba girl, and I forced him into his bed? Mr. Lu, tell me, I am Cao Mo. What behavior has violated Kanem's laws and policies over the years? What makes you suspect that I framed Lu Yan? But it is true that you framed Zhou Han. Mr. Lu, how dare you shoot me in front of Mr. Ding? Are you bragging that Taihua did not forge any witnesses or physical evidence when reporting the case to the police? Or do you really think that if Taihua does not withdraw the case, the Xinhai police and Chinese laws will really be left to you people to play with?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Jianchao gritted his teeth and asked.
"It's up to you whether to withdraw the case or not. I can't interfere with you, but Mr. Lu, please don't try to interfere with me! Didn't I make my words clear enough?"
"There's nothing to talk about?" Lu Jianchao asked with a gloomy face.
"When Mr. Lu held the Hongmen Banquet and invited a large group of prominent people from Xinhai to watch my show, did he ever think about whether we would have to talk about it?" Cao Mo said stiffly.
Shen Ji thought that Cao Mo would give up after the Lu family showed weakness, but he did not expect that Cao Mo's attitude would be tougher than he imagined.
And since both he and Chen Rong were surprised, we can see what Lu Jianchao's surprise would be like.
Lu Jianchao was sitting at the table. Although he did not try his best to suppress his inner irritation, he could not help but expand his nose, twitching his nose, revealing his true inner emotions.
Ding Zhaoqiang continued to read the documents in his hand as if it had nothing to do with him.
Lu Jianchao looked at Dong Chengpeng. Dong Chengpeng hesitated for a while, turned away from the phone slightly, and lowered his voice and said to Ding Zhaoqiang: "If things get out of hand, all Chinese-owned enterprises and traders investing in Kanem will inevitably be affected... "
Shen Ji glanced at Dong Chengpeng and saw that he was not staying out of the matter at this time. He must have an unexpected friendship with the Lu family.
Ding Zhaoqiang put the document on the table and was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about what to say. After a while of silence, he turned on the speaker phone and said, "Cao Mo, I am Ding Zhaoqiang. I want to talk to you and Tai." I don’t know much about Hua’s affairs, and I don’t seem to have the necessary understanding of what happened in Kanem and the local situation. But in any case, Dongsheng has been operating in compliance with the law over the years, and naturally hopes that its collaborators can operate in compliance with the law... …”
"Mr. Ding, don't worry. If my cooperation with Dongsheng violates the laws of the territory, I will bear full responsibility and will not shirk any grievances between me and the Lu family. It was the Lu family who broke the rules first, and they never asked me to abide by the rules. The reason for slaughter. They want to sue for peace now. Yes, I am also very reasonable, but there are two conditions: First, Taihua must explain clearly to the police what witnesses and material evidence they fabricated and forged. Rather than just vaguely saying that the case should be withdrawn; given their moral character, it is hard for me to believe that they will not go back on their word later. Second, cancel the acquisition of Beku Cement Plant and Xintaihua Grinding Station by Cornero Cement Group The pledge agreement; I know very well what the Lu family is planning this time, and since they intend to use this pledge agreement to plot something, I now request that it be revoked
This pledge agreement, I believe Mr. Lu will not say that this is my unreasonable request..."
"The pledge agreement is a guarantee for Cornero Cement Group to delay payment for its acquisition of Beku Cement Plant and Xintaihua Grinding Station. How can this be confused with this matter?" Cao Mo's tone softened after Lu Jianchao saw Ding Zhaoqiang speak, and of course He would not easily agree to all of Cao Mo's conditions.
"Mr. Lu, don't you just want a verbal guarantee and promise from me?" Cao Mo's stiff voice came over, "I now promise not to interfere in Lu Yan's case. You can find a way to get Lu Yan out. I will also
Will you stand by and watch, do you believe Mr. Lu or not? If Mr. Lu doesn’t believe it, we have nothing to talk about. Mr. Lu can’t expect me to sign this nonsense. And if Mr. Lu believes in my promise, why worry about it for two years?
Will I refuse the purchase money for Beiku Cement Plant and Xintaihua Grinding Station in the future? I still say the same thing, it was your Lu family who broke the rules first and had designs on me first. These two points are the conditions that the Lu family must fulfill. At the same time,
, I also told Mr. Lu, and asked Mr. Lu to tell Mr. Han that since I dared to stab the people sent by Mr. Han eight years ago twelve times, I ask you to pay more attention to me in the future and don’t always think that you
These low-level tricks can still work on me. Having said that, Mr. Lu, you can think about it yourself..."
Cao Mo hung up the phone first.
Ding Zhaoqiang had spoken for help, but Cao Mo's terms were non-negotiable. Whether Lu Jianchao and Lu Jiancheng would accept it was not something he had to consider.
"Thank you, Lao Ding, for this. I really worry about you today. Let's drink together some other time." Lu Jianchao stood up and said.
"It's a small matter." Ding Zhaoqiang stood up with a smile and saw Lu Jianchao off with Dong Chengpeng.
At other times, Ding Zhaoqiang would have sent the guests off in person. Shen Ji, Chen Rong and the others were present and would have accompanied them no matter what. However, the behavior of Lu Jianchao and Han Shaorong today really made them feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly. Standing beside Ding Zhaoqiang
There was no movement in the office.
Xu Xin's status in Dongsheng can only be regarded as a member of the middle and low-level management. Shen Ji and Chen Rong have not moved. Of course, she does not need to accompany Lu Jianchao to see him off.
Xu Xin and Shen Ji were of the same age, and they usually had a good relationship, but she was still a little afraid of Chen Rong. Even though she was confused and curious, she resisted asking Shen Ji what happened.
Ding Zhaoqiang personally escorted Lu Jianchao into the elevator before returning to the office with Dong Chengpeng. Seeing him and Dong Chengpeng discussing something in low voices as they walked,
"I discussed it with Cheng Peng and felt that the President's Office needs to set up a separate office to pay attention to the investment business of Hexi Fund and Dongsheng Group in West Africa and the cooperation with Tianyue," Ding Zhaoqiang sat down with Chen Rong and Shen Ji and said,
"Xu Xin has been in Draculamore for a while and is familiar with the situation on both sides. Cheng Peng recommends that Xu Xin be responsible for the daily liaison work of this office for the time being. What do you think?"
Ding Zhaoqiang did not mean to discontinue cooperation with Tianyue, but decided to withdraw power over West Africa and affairs related to Tianyue cooperation from Hexi Fund and overseas. This was not something that Shen Ji or Chen Rong could object to.
After talking indifferently for a while, Shen Ji went back to the Overseas Department, and Chen Rong also left Dongsheng Building on the pretext of having something to do.
