BXBX NOVEL Chapter 325 Chapter 325 You Won't Have the Chance to Buy Us Drinks
"Of course it\'s true, I would never frame anyone," Jiang Guohao said.
"What about you? Did you rig bids?" Mr. Wu asked.
"Of course not, we are participating in a normal bidding process!" Jiang Guohao said.
"Alright, wait for me. I\'ll have someone take care of it," Mr. Wu said.
"Mr. Wu, it has to be fast. Catch them off guard. Don\'t wait for them to finish making arrangements before you arrest them. Otherwise, they can still pull strings from the inside through their lawyers, and that will affect our bid for the old city district redevelopment project," Jiang Guohao said.
"I know what to do," Mr. Wu hung up the phone.
Jiang Guohao put down his cell phone, a smile on his face.
If Mr. Wu had promised to do it, then it was basically a done deal.
The other party was known for his decisive actions, and since he had been urged to act quickly, there was no reason it couldn\'t be done.
Once, he had gotten the other party to do something similar.
It was to arrest someone, and the other party had someone brought to the station within an hour.
...
Mr. Wu\'s office.
It was a medium-sized office.
Mr. Wu sat in his office, put down his phone, and his gaze fell on the wall opposite him.
On the wall hung a calligraphy piece, consisting of five characters: "Serve the people!"
He had specifically commissioned a calligrapher to write it, to hang in his office, as a constant reminder not to forget his original intentions.
After contemplating the five characters, Mr. Wu took a deep breath, withdrew his gaze, picked up the landline on his desk, and pressed a button: "Connect me to the Economic Investigation Team!"
Soon a voice came through the phone: "Mayor..."
Before the person could finish speaking, Mr. Wu interrupted, "I\'ve received a report that there\'s illegal conduct in the old city district redevelopment project, an attempt at bid-rigging. Have you noticed anything?"
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned.
They had forgotten to respond. Your journey continues on empire
Their Economic Investigation Team was extremely busy, hardly able to monitor the old city district redevelopment project.
And the reason they were so busy was that they had received many cases, all of which were directed by Mr. Wu himself.
They didn\'t understand why Mr. Wu was pulling this stunt again.
What they didn\'t know was that this was intentional by Mr. Wu., to keep them busy and unable to pay attention to Jiang Guohao sending people to intercept the experts.
Mr. Wu said angrily, "No response? It seems you don\'t know. The report has reached me, and yet you know nothing. What do you do all day? Do you even remember the oath you took when you joined?
We are to serve the people. How can you do your job if you act like this? How can the people be satisfied?"
The person immediately replied, "I\'ll arrange for someone to look into it right away!"
Mr. Wu snorted, "By the time you finish investigating, there won\'t be a need for the redevelopment of the old city. Just proceed based on what I know. One is Lan Penghua, and the other is Xu Yang. They are both shareholders of Huayang Real Estate and they are highly suspicious!"
The person immediately replied, "Yes, I will investigate them right away!"
Mr. Wu said, "If you go to investigate now, they\'ll be prepared. The redevelopment of the old city is a major concern for the entire Jiang city; immediately have someone take control of them both!"
"Take control of them first?" The person frowned, "We did as you said last time, and that caused a loss of tens of millions for the parties involved. This time..."
Before he could finish, Mr. Wu slammed the desk and shouted, "What does it matter if they lose tens of millions? We serve the people. If we proceed cautiously with every matter, how can we serve the people? How can the public be satisfied? If Xu Yang and Lan Penghua disrupt the redevelopment of the old city, we need to arrest them right away, catching them off guard, minimizing the negative impact.
Do you understand?"
The authority of those above, along with his anger, transmitted through the phone, intimidating others.
The other party was struck with a sense of solemnity and didn\'t dare to delay, "Then I\'ll arrange for someone to go make the arrest."
Mr. Wu nodded in satisfaction, "That\'s more like it, this is the attitude of serving the people, off you go."
After finishing, he put down the phone.
Looking up, he saw the painting on the wall opposite him and felt like he had done another great service for the people.
...
On Xu Yang\'s side.
Xu Yang had found some dirt on Jiang Guohao and his people and had already sent it to the relevant departments.
At this moment, Lan Penghua\'s phone rang.
Lan Penghua saw the caller ID, "It\'s Jiang Guohao calling."
Xu Yang said, "Answer it, let\'s see what he has to say."
Lan Penghua pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone.
Jiang Guohao\'s hearty laughter came through the phone.
"Director Lan, Director Xu, I\'m afraid you two won\'t have the chance to be involved in the old city renovation project, ha ha!"
Lan Penghua did not speak, looking at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang spoke up, "Jiang Guohao, are you really that confident you can stop us?"
"Of course," Jiang Guohao said confidently.
Mr. Wu had already taken action, it was a done deal that the two were caught.
Even if they were to be released eventually, the bidding would have definitely ended by then.
The two could only watch helplessly.
Jiang Guohao was very annoyed at having his scheme to bribe an expert thwarted by Xu Yang.
Now, calling up was just a way to show off a bit.
Logically speaking, a boss like him wouldn\'t do such a childish thing in front of big shots like Xu Yang and Lan Penghua.
But this time, he just felt like being capricious.
It has to be said that the feeling was extremely satisfying.
Xu Yang said, "Jiang Guohao, it\'s better not to be too confident, things always have surprises."
"Surprise?" Jiang Guohao sneered, then said proudly, "What surprises can there be with a sure thing? Rest assured, once the bidding is over and I\'ve got all the projects, I will arrange a table to have you guys over for a drink!"
Xu Yang chuckled, "I\'m afraid you won\'t have the chance to invite us for a drink."
Jiang Guohao\'s eyes narrowed, "What do you mean by that?"
Xu Yang let out a soft laugh, "Nothing much, you\'ll know soon enough."
Just then, the office door was knocked on, and Ma Yangrong pushed the door open and came in.
"Director Xu, the police are here, saying they were looking for you and Director Lan," Ma Yangrong was somewhat anxious but also confused.
The visitors were from the Economic Investigation Team, and it was unclear why they were looking for Xu Yang and Lan Penghua.
It stood to reason that Xu Yang and Lan Penghua wouldn\'t do anything illegal.
He might not know Lan Penghua well, but he did understand Xu Yang.
With such strong investments, Xu Yang had absolutely no need to engage in illegal activities.
Before the two could respond, Jiang Guohao\'s laughter came through on the phone, "The police are quite efficient, I thought it would take at least a few hours. Director Xu, Director Lan, don\'t worry, it\'s just the Economic Investigation Team. I believe with your capabilities, you won\'t spend much time inside. However, you no longer have the chance to touch the old city renovation.
Once you\'re out, I\'ll arrange a table to invite you for a drink, to celebrate, ha ha ha!"
