Did He Really Say That?
"Tell me, how did this matter involve him?" He didn't care about the wine and roast goose anymore.
Mr. Zhang frowned.
"Some time ago, Xu Guangqing and his son had the same birthday, so they had a private dinner. Not many people were there, just Xu Guangqing and his wife, his secretary, Qiu Liancheng from the district committee, and Xu Guangqing's son. They invited a few brats from Jingshan, including Ye Chen. It was said that at the dinner, Ye Chen helped him read his face and saw that he had a disaster. After careful analysis, he concluded that the disaster was likely to be caused by the Guangming Peak project. This attracted his attention and forced him to find someone to thoroughly investigate the Hong Kong investors of the Guangming Peak project!
"The investigation revealed that the investor's headquarters in Hong Kong had become a shell company on the verge of bankruptcy, and that the investor was secretly trying to use the Bright Peak Resort project to obtain a mortgage loan from a bank. Fortunately, the other party had not yet completed the mortgage loan process with the bank, so we intervened in time to stop it!"
Yan Huaili explained with a serious frown.
Bang!!!
Little did he know that after hearing what Yan Huaili said.
Mr. Zhang slammed the coffee table in anger.
"Ridiculous, this is simply too ridiculous! How stupid is Xu Guangqing to be fooled by the investors! The other party not only treats him as a fool, but also treats the entire Jiangzhou government as a fool. If Ye Chen was not there this time, would the other party really succeed and use the Guangming Peak project as collateral to get money and leave?"
Yan Huaili didn't say anything, but silence was undoubtedly the best answer.
"Didn't I tell you about Xu Guangqing last time? I was afraid that he was unreliable. I didn't expect that I would be right!" Old Master Zhang said angrily.
"After I talked to you, my old leader, last time, I called him personally the next day. He repeatedly patted his chest and assured me on the phone that nothing would go wrong. I didn't expect that my repeated warnings to him could not make him stay cautious. Instead, it was Ye Chen's inference after reading his fortune that made him dare not underestimate or neglect it. Think about it, this is really ironic!" Yan Huaili sneered and said self-deprecatingly.
"Humph, I've heard before that in order to have their fortunes told, Xu Guangqing and his wife traveled thousands of miles to another province and visited those fortune tellers in person. It's just that this matter has not spread in society, otherwise, I don't know how the public opinion impact would end!" Old Master Zhang snorted.
"What? There is such a thing?" Yan Huaili couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
"This happened last year or the year before last, so let's not talk about it now! By the way, did he confess to you himself about asking Ye Chen to read his fortune?" Old Master Zhang seemed to have thought of something and asked immediately.
"Well, he confessed it himself! But at the beginning he didn't dare to confess that Ye Chen was fortune-telling. Later, I asked him to confess everything, and then he spoke. He also mentioned that the reason he asked Ye Chen to help him with fortune-telling was because he heard that Ye Chen had attainments in this area, and that I had also asked Ye Chen to read my fortune. I almost got furious at the time. I guess that brat Jingshan let the matter slip again! After all, last time at Nanguo Villa, when I jokingly asked Ye Chen to help me with fortune-telling, only Jingshan and Xingguo were there!" Yan Huaili said.
Hearing this.
Mr. Zhang's eyebrows trembled violently for a moment.
For a moment I didn't know what to say.
"Old leader, what do you think of this kid Ye Chen? Does he really have the attainments in fortune-telling or is he just playing tricks? If he is playing tricks, how did he know that there was a problem with the Hong Kong investor of the Guangming Peak Resort project?" Yan Huaili said.
Mr. Zhang narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a moment. Finally, he chose to avoid the question.
Because this is also the question he has been thinking about.
Although Ye Chen had used his "fortune-telling" to help Zhang Jingshan and Zhang Xingguo avoid a disaster, and even heard from Zhang Jingshan about Ye Chen's many "semi-immortal" abilities.
But Mr. Zhang was always skeptical about Ye Chen's fortune-telling. Even though Ye Chen had personally explained to him that he had followed an old gentleman before and had some knowledge of numerology, feng shui and physiognomy, Mr. Zhang still could not connect those things with Ye Chen.
Even when it came to Zhang Xingguo, he still chose to believe Ye Chen's judgment of Kong Liqun, the trusted general who had laid the groundwork for Zhang Xingguo's shoddy project. He would rather believe it than not believe it, and he leaned towards Ye Chen's judgment of the other party's face. This made Zhang Xingguo escape the disaster that almost doomed the entire Zhang family.
However, no matter what, to make him believe that a young man under 30 years old really has the ability of a semi-immortal fortune teller, after living for most of his life and with the earth already buried up to his neck, he still thinks it is nonsense!
But in response to Yan Huaili's words.
He answered the question out of curiosity, "You just said he helped you read your fortune. What did he say?"
When Yan Huaili repeated Ye Chen's original words with a wry smile.
Mr. Zhang's eyebrows twitched in shock, "Did he really say that?"
"Yes, it's a good thing I stopped him, otherwise I don't know what crazy words he would say!" Yan Huaili shook his head helplessly.
However, Mr. Zhang fell into deep thought upon hearing the voice.
Yan Huaili was shocked by what he saw.
"Old leader, you don't really believe him, do you?"
"Haha, if it's really like what he said, that would be great!" After a loud laugh.
Mr. Zhang put away his smile and said, "Okay, let's get back to the point. What are you going to do about Xu Guangqing?"
"Let's follow the procedure. Those who should be held accountable should be held accountable, and those who should be punished should be punished. As for the Guangming Peak Resort project, a working group has now been set up to re-involve!" Yan Huaili said in a serious voice.
"He is on your line. If he is held accountable and punished, I guess you will also be caught by the people with ulterior motives!" said Mr. Zhang.
"So what? If nothing happened and they just criticized me at the meeting, that would be the biggest irony. In addition, if the final characterization of this matter is just criticism at an internal meeting, then wouldn't the braids be caught even harder?" Yan Huaili didn't care. Old Master Zhang nodded, "That's right!"
"But from what I know about Xu Guangqing, if he thinks that I have a good personal relationship with Ye Chen, I'm worried that he will ask Ye Chen to come and plead for him..."
Yan Huaili hadn't finished speaking.
Old Master Zhang waved his hand to interrupt, "Don't worry about this. Let's not talk about whether Ye Chen and Xu Guangqing have such a close relationship. As far as this matter is concerned, Ye Chen will never ask you for mercy. If he doesn't even have this taboo bottom line, then I can only say that I misjudged him. After all, if he has any sensitivity, he won't interfere in such matters!"
"That makes sense, haha, I didn't think it through!"
