Chapter 177 End of Cooperation
The next day, Chen Feng went straight to the department, opened the door of the department director's office, picked up the phone and called Luo Zhongli.
"Hello, is this Luo Zhongli?" Chen Feng asked in a straightforward tone.
Luo Zhongli seemed to have not expected it to be Chen Feng. He was slightly stunned. "Ah, Chen Feng, what's wrong?"
"I want to ask you something. Have you told anyone about my situation?" Chen Feng's tone was serious.
"No, how could I tell others casually?" Luo Zhongli answered quickly.
"Then how did Boss Deng know about this?" Chen Feng asked with a frown. "He came to me yesterday and wanted to give his new partner an apartment. He also said that you told him about it."
Luo Zhongli sensed the pressure in Chen Feng's words and began to explain nervously, "Chen Feng, listen to me. The last time you came to me, I didn't know much about the Special Administrative Region, so I consulted with the dormitory leader. But after that, I really didn't mention it to anyone else."
Chen Feng was silent for a moment. "Okay, Lao Luo, I trust you this time. Although we didn't have much friendship before, now that we're doing business together and we're college classmates, I don't want to fall out with you over this. But from now on, you must keep everything about me a secret."
"Don't worry, Chen Feng, I will never mention you to anyone else again." Luo Zhongli quickly assured.
"Then your restaurant will give me the last share this month, and I will no longer participate after that. I will also withdraw from the shares. I hope your business will prosper in the future." Chen Feng said lightly.
Luo Zhongli was stunned. He understood that Chen Feng wanted to break up with him.
"Then...then I'll give up my side of Mr. Wang's newly registered company. You can arrange new financial and management personnel to take over." He sighed.
"Okay." Chen Feng nodded and hung up the phone.
He knew in his heart that the real estate business involved too many complicated things.
This incident made him realize that his cooperation with Luo Zhongli could no longer continue.
He decided to focus on pure financial investment in the future and no longer participate in specific business operations.
After all, it is not difficult to make money in this market, and he does not want to get involved in those dirty means and things.
Lao Wang is a different person. The real estate industry is an industry that has deep dealings with both the black and white worlds. The fact that he has never gotten into trouble shows that he has a clear mind and knows exactly how to make money.
Such people are trustworthy partners.
Although Luo Zhongli was his college roommate, it now seems that he is not a good partner.
Instead of this, it is better to cut the Gordian knot.
Breaking up after the entanglement has deepened will only hurt the relationship more. At that time, it is possible that both parties will become enemies. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the business world!
Luo Zhongli's matter was dealt with quickly, and I wonder if it reached Deng Yongliang's ears.
Anyway, Deng Yongliang never looked for him about this matter again.
And it is impossible for Chen Feng to go to school to speak for Teacher Lu.
He was only responsible for building the building and did not participate in the school's allocation, otherwise Principal Shang and others would have opinions about him.
In addition, Teacher Lu has a bad reputation, and speaking for her in school can easily bring trouble to oneself.
Chen Feng is not the kind of person who likes to be a pushover. Even if Boss Deng comes to him again, he will refuse. But it is even better that he doesn't come to him.
The first Standing Committee meeting of Dongjiang Province after the Spring Festival was finally held.
Everyone knew the highlight of this event was deciding the mayor of Ninghai City. Several rounds of negotiations had already taken place, and this time, a conclusion was crucial.
Secretary Peng, Governor Ning, and Deputy Secretary Yu were all in the office, as were all the standing committee members of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Organization Department, and Propaganda Department.
Secretary Peng took a quick look and saw that everyone was present. He spoke directly, "Now that everyone is here, let's start discussing this."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became serious.
Everyone knew this was no small matter. The position of Ninghai mayor was a hot topic.
First, the name of Executive Vice Mayor Li Minghui was mentioned.
Secretary Zou of the Discipline Inspection Commission nodded and said calmly, "Li Minghui's work in Ninghai is truly impressive. The urban infrastructure project he led last year was not only completed on time and to quality, but also achieved significant budget savings. This steady and capable attitude is exactly what we need."
"That's true," Minister Yang of the Propaganda Department immediately agreed. "I've also noticed that Comrade Li Minghui has a very thorough understanding of policy advocacy. First of all, he needs to understand the policy in order to do a good job of advocacy. I think, from this perspective, we need a cadre who understands the policy and can implement it."
Secretary-General Zheng of the Provincial Party Committee expressed his views more directly: "Secretary Peng, Governor Ning, I personally strongly favor Li Minghui. He has worked in Ninghai for many years and is familiar with the local customs, economic and social development. This profound background and rich experience are undoubtedly important advantages for him to be qualified for the position of mayor."
However, at this moment, Minister Qian of the United Front Work Department spoke up: "Comrade Li Minghui is indeed an experienced comrade, and I have no objection to that. But we should also consider all aspects, such as Changshan Mayor Zhang Weijie. His achievements in Changshan in recent years are obvious to all. He has successfully introduced many major projects and effectively promoted Changshan's economic development. In this regard, I think Ninghai is still not doing enough. It needs to take bigger steps and find a more decisive cadre to take the lead!"
Secretary Liu of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Comrade Zhang Weijie's abilities should not be underestimated. His work in Changshan, especially in maintaining social stability and promoting the rule of law, has achieved remarkable results. These achievements are tangible and visible to everyone."
This made the atmosphere in the meeting room even more tense.
Li Minghui and Zhang Weijie were both strong candidates, each with their own advantages. Secretary Peng and Governor Ning exchanged glances, remaining silent.
The discussion continued, and everyone expressed their opinions. But in the end, it all came down to what Secretary Peng and Governor Ning thought.
The winner and loser of this game will soon be revealed.
Secretary Peng pondered for a moment before finally speaking, "I've listened to everyone's opinions. Indeed, Li Minghui and Zhang Weijie are both excellent talents. But for the position of mayor, we need to consider all factors. I think we should discuss it further and ensure that we select the most suitable candidate."
Then he looked at Ning Hezhong and Yu Wenqing, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.
"He Zhong, comrades have almost finished speaking. Tell us your opinion. After you finish speaking, I will talk to Lao Yu, and finally let Lao Gao from the Organization Department make a summary speech. This matter is about to be decided. Any further delay will delay the work."
