Chapter 126: Don’t Ask For Benefits

Mayor Shen was in a very bad mood because of Lin Shan’s nonsense. Now with Shu Xian’s greedy and straightforward demand for benefits, his expression darkened.

Mayor Shen remembered that Shu Xian had received the government order through Lin Shan’s introduction. He said in a harsh and official tone, “The government has arranged for that piece of land to be used by outstanding enterprises. It can only be allocated after a bidding process and vetting the qualifications of the enterprises.”

“We have no right to privately promise it to anyone. Mr. Shu Xian, please apply for this piece of land through proper channels.”

Shu Xian frowned. Was producing the protective apparatus not enough to give him the right to the land? He stared at Mayor Shen unhappily.

Mayor Shen pondered for a long time before reminding, “The government will be increasingly strict with the corporate governance of companies. The management of the company must abide by the law. I advise Mr. Shu Xian not to think of using nefarious methods to gain profits. Otherwise, once an investigation is carried out, we will definitely do things according to the law!”

When Shu Xian heard this, he immediately nudged Lin Shan and asked in a low voice, “Didn’t you say that if we help the government we will definitely benefit in the future?”

“They are turning against me now? What’s going on?”

Shu Xian was overwhelmed with anger and did not care that everyone at present could hear his questions. “You were the one who persuaded me to accept the order.”

“These protective gear are not profitable at all. Hurry up and think of a way to persuade them to give me that piece of land!”

At the bottom of the round table, Lin Shan gently kicked Shu Xian’s feet, wanting him to shut up.

However, Shu Xian did not react. Already drunk, he kept nagging at Lin Shan. She was so embarrassed that her face was flushed red. Her eyes flickered as she frowned.

Mayor Shen and Chief Officer Fang were both smart people. They immediately saw through Lin Shan’s plan. She actually dared to use the government’s crisis to benefit herself. Glaring at Lin Shan, they cleared their throats, attracting Shu Xian’s attention.

Chief Officer Fang clenched his fists and put them to his lips. He frowned and said, “Don’t say anymore!”

“Not only is the protective gear made by the factory ineffective, it even harmed the farmers and delayed their work…”

“As for Lin Shan, she slandered and spread rumors about government officials. I’ll keep these offences in mind for the time being. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll make you account for everything!”

Mayor Shen looked at Qiu Tong’s exceptionally calm expression and said on her behalf, “As for the locust pesticide, you don’t have to interfere anymore.”

“Miss Qiu Tong will settle it…”

When Shu Xian heard this, he raised his eyebrows in disdain. He put on a ruffian stance and picked up a piece of fatty meat with his chopsticks, stuffing it into his mouth. He glanced at Qiu Tong, not believing that she could think of a solution.

“With her status as a single mother with no backing and no business?”

“Do you think she can solve such a big problem like the locust plague? How? With that glib tongue of hers?”

Shu Xian patted his own face and smiled. He asked, “Or with her face?”

“Who will help her?”

At this moment, the sound of a helicopter came from outside the glass window of the hotel suite. Qiu Tong raised her wristwatch and calculated the time. She said calmly, “Quite punctual.” As soon as she finished speaking, Mayor Shen and Chief Officer Fang stood up in shock and disbelief. They wished they could immediately run out to take a look!

Could Qiu Tong have really gotten the helicopter to be sent over here?
