CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 433: HUANG WENHAI’S UNWILLINGNESS

Huang Wenhai looked at Liu Yuanzhong and shook his head, "No objections!"

At this moment, Huang Wenhai naturally couldn’t voice any objections, after all, the issues with Liu’s Real Estate Company were still unresolved!

"Mm, good, no objections. Also, to support the healthy development of local enterprises, Liu’s Real Estate Company suggested they withdraw from the Wancheng market. In this promising land of Wancheng, such enterprises are absolutely not allowed to exist. A few days ago, I heard that Liu’s Real Estate Company engaged in a price war to suppress Celestial One Pavilion, disrupting the market and causing a considerable uproar in the Wancheng real estate sector. This is something we absolutely cannot tolerate, and neither can the local real estate companies in Wancheng. Therefore, after discussing with Secretary Qi, we decided to let Liu’s Real Estate Company exit Wancheng!" Liu Yuanzhong said.

At this time, bringing down Liu’s Real Estate Company was a good opportunity. Firstly, this was in response to Lin Mu’s request, and secondly, it was beneficial for Liu Yuanzhong himself, as he sought the people’s support. The exposure of Liu’s Real Estate’s crimes had incited public outrage, and Liu Yuanzhong’s action, ostensibly fair in safeguarding the Wancheng market, would undoubtedly raise his prestige in the hearts of Wancheng’s citizens!

Prestige is intangible but extremely important to high-ranking officials, and of course, it depends on how it is publicized. When Liu Yuanzhong was about to be promoted, bringing these matters to light would greatly benefit his promotion!

Huang Wenhai looked at Liu Yuanzhong, "Mayor Liu, isn’t it somewhat inappropriate for us to make Liu’s Real Estate Company leave Wancheng? After all, Liu’s Real Estate Company is a major company that brings significant tax revenue to the city each year. Although they were at fault here, it’s not to the extent that we should completely annihilate such a large enterprise, is it? The city’s development needs diversity, and if Celestial One Pavilion monopolizes, it will lead to market chaos in the future!"

Huang Wenhai looked at Liu Yuanzhong, attempting to defend Liu’s, as he had received a lot of money from Liu’s Company, and it seemed somewhat underhanded to expel Liu’s just like that. Moreover, if Liu’s left Wancheng, he would lose a substantial income!

"The city indeed needs diversity, but it absolutely does not need troublemakers. Wancheng has thousands of enterprises; how could we allow one company to monopolize? But we do not welcome enterprises involved in crime, so Liu’s cannot continue to stay in Wancheng!" Liu Yuanzhong said firmly.

Seeing that Liu Yuanzhong was determined, Huang Wenhai had no need to argue further. In this situation, it’s already fine that Liu Yuanzhong didn’t hold him accountable, giving him some face. If he continued to defend Liu’s Company indiscreetly, the city leadership would notice he was paid off by Liu’s and defending them because he was bought.

Moreover, continuing to argue would sour relations with the leadership, which would be bad for him, especially since Liu’s Company’s criminal actions were now a burden on him. As the saying goes, a wise man adapts to circumstances, so Huang Wenhai had no choice but to nod in agreement!

"Alright, since everyone has no objections, it’s decided, adjourn the meeting!" Liu Yuanzhong said, leaving the conference room, and other subordinates in related leadership roles left in rows of three or five, chatting as they exited.

At this time, only Huang Wenhai and Prosecutor Zhang Qun were left in the conference room. The two were old friends and both knew Liu Zhenyun well!

Zhang Qun got up and handed Huang Wenhai a cigarette, advising, "Director Huang, don’t be upset. Things have come to this point, and there’s nothing else to be done. Where there’s life, there’s hope!"

Huang Wenhai lit a cigarette, his face looking very dark, "It’s easy to say, the matter seems aimed at Liu’s Company, but it’s actually indirectly blaming me. Now I, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, have no say at all!"

Thinking about how Liu Yuanzhong directly assigned the Situong Town project to Celestial One Pavilion made Huang Wenhai angry. Even if Liu’s Company couldn’t do the project, it shouldn’t be handed over to Lin Mu so easily!

"Haha, Director Huang, you’re mistaken. Although you currently have no say, after this matter blows over, you’re still the director of the Urban Construction Bureau and still manage planning matters. Later, whomever you want to deal with will be easy for you!" Zhang Qun said with a chuckle.

Huang Wenhai listened to Zhang Qun’s words, his eyes flickering. Indeed, he was still the director of the Urban Construction Bureau. Now, because of this issue, he had no confidence to argue, but after this matter was settled, dealing with Lin Mu would also be very easy. After all, he was still in charge of the project; no matter how capable Lin Mu was, he had to comply with his authority. At that time, if he was in a bad mood, he could reject things or obstruct them; Lin Mu would have to obediently act like a dog!

"Celestial One Pavilion, and Lin Mu, I definitely won’t let you have an easy time..." Huang Wenhai muttered fiercely, clenching his fist.

"Haha, Director Huang, it’s good that you’re thinking clearly. There’s no need to wreck your brains over these matters. The people below just played some petty tricks; are you, the one above, really going to turn against them?" Zhang Qun said with a laugh.

Huang Wenhai nodded and said, "Secretary Zhang, there’s one more thing I need your help with. Liu Shengyi has already been detained by the police; can you think of a way to get him out?"

"Boss Liu has already called about this matter. Rest assured, this is nothing, I’ll handle it soon!" Zhang Qun nodded, knowing as a prosecutor this was not a big problem to deal with.

The matter with Liu’s Company was thus settled, and Huang Wenhai did his best, but the result was disappointing. The issue itself wasn’t significant; it was merely hyped up by the media, turning a small issue into a big one. In fact, such matters were not uncommon in the real estate sector!

Huang Wenhai could only call Liu Zhenyun, explaining the situation over the phone and expressing that he’d done his best. However, what Liu Zhenyun felt was different. Of course, this wasn’t about Huang Wenhai but about Lin Mu!

The Liu family was a big family, and there was never a precedent of their family business being expelled from the circle. It wasn’t just a business issue; if this spread, the Liu family couldn’t bear the disgrace.

There was no room for redemption; Liu’s Company was certainly leaving Wancheng, but Liu Zhenyun had to reclaim this dignity. The government could drive away the company but not the people. Liu Zhenyun planned to make up for his dignity from Lin Mu!

Therefore, Liu Zhenyun immediately stated on the phone that he would send someone over first and would go to Wancheng to settle accounts with Lin Mu after arranging his Guangdong business. He wanted to make Lin Mu understand that the Liu Family would not be easily trampled on!
