Chapter Ninety-Eight: Cornered
In the evening, the eldest brother-in-law Zhao Chongming rushed to the house, and the sleeve of his shirt was torn, and his image was a little embarrassed.
Xin Andong knew from her eldest sister that it was probably her in-law's side that blocked it, and they didn't agree with Zhao Chongming to help the Xin family touch the stone with the big man behind him.
However, the eldest brother-in-law can come, obviously because he has a heart for the Xin family, and for this, Xin Andong is sincerely grateful to him.
Zhao Chongming said ashamedly, "Little brother, my brother-in-law probably won't be able to help you this time." ”
"I understand, I don't blame my brother-in-law, it's just that there are some things that I don't understand thoroughly, and I ask my brother-in-law to tell me what he knows. ”
Zhao Chongming's expression was complicated, he used to like this small but extremely smart brother-in-law, when he married An Chun, he also knew that this brother-in-law had saved such a big family business behind him, and he was even more generous, he was low-key and rarely sensible, as long as his daughter-in-law's family didn't blame him, Zhao Chongming breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know much, and our director of the bureau also knows a little bit about the news, and it is said that he has a deep friendship with City B. ”
This is also the reason why Zhao Chongming was suspended.
In order to investigate this matter, he stretched his hand too long, and the leaders above were in a dilemma, and he didn't dare to offend that person, so he could only take a small role like Zhao Chongming.
This can also be regarded as a kind of affirmation, Qingshui County is on the other side.
It's really better than people.
Xin Andong didn't expect the situation to have developed so seriously, it seems that tomorrow's meeting is his trust, he rubbed his eyebrows, and smiled bitterly, "That big man sent someone to get my Xin family's secret recipe, and it was painstaking to go around such a big circle." ”
As for why a small place like Qingshui County will also be noticed by the big people in City B, Xin Andong lowered his eyes and thought with a slight mockery, I am afraid that the secret recipe of the spicy crayfish is fake, and what he really wants is probably the seafood hot pot recipe in his Xin Andong's hand.
Some time ago, Uncle Yue mentioned that someone was inquiring about him, but he didn't expect people to come so quickly.
I have to say that Xin Andong's keen intuition is correct.
When we met in the store at ten o'clock the next day, the other party sent a middle-aged man, who was a lawyer, and directly took out a transfer agreement to Xin Andong to sign, all the seafood hot pot restaurants under his name, as well as the lobster restaurant, the most important recipe, the other party was very greedy.
And it is blatant and fearless, I really feel that there is no need to negotiate with a small shrimp like Xin Andong, so I go straight to the point and proceed to the last step.
"This contract is the biggest concession that can be given to us, according to Mr. Xu's request, there is an additional agreement added to the contract, the Xin family is not allowed to use the sold formula in any form to make a profit, once found that the breach of contract, Mr. Xu will appeal directly. ”
The contract in black and white, the provocative gaze in the lawyer's eyes, are pushing the Xin family to a desperate situation step by step.
"100,000 yuan, buyout?" Xin Andong nodded noncommittally, and shook his head when the lawyer was sure that he didn't dare to resist and thought that the contract was signed, "I'm sorry, I'm not satisfied with the price given by Mr. Xu, please tell him, no matter whether it's my store or the formula I hold in my hand, I won't sell these." ”
The middle-aged lawyer stood up, his face was ugly, and threatened, "Mr. Xin, you are still young, maybe you don't know the meaning of your words today, 100,000 yuan is a lot, don't be too greedy, maybe you won't even get 100,000 tomorrow!"
The implicit warning is obvious.
"Thank you for your advice, businessmen have a scale in their hearts, and they don't send it if they walk slowly. ”
After the lawyer left, Xin Andong was so angry, what kind of thing, 100,000 yuan wanted to buy out his entire net worth, and his eyes were covered with?
He took his popularity away, the other party's Mr. Xu will definitely not give up, Xin Andong can't sit still, he has called Uncle Yue in advance, asking him to help investigate what the details of that Mr. Xu are, the eldest brother-in-law has worked here for decades, and there are still a little connections, and some news can be found out after a while.
At noon, Uncle Yue called, as the person in charge of the seafood hot pot restaurant, he often dealt with some city leaders, and it was not unusual for him to know a person, and he took the path of one of them.
However, the news received is not encouraging.
That Mr. Xu's real name is Xu Gang, and his real identity was said to laugh off his big teeth, and he used to be a seller who walked the streets and alleys. But a year ago, he relied on his sister's strength to become the marketing manager of a high-end hotel in City B, which can be said to be a step to the sky.
And his powerful sister, named Xu Siyuan, her origin is the important place where the county leaders are jealous, she is the wife of a high-ranking official surnamed Jiang in City B, and her father-in-law is even more amazing, and the military merit medal is hung all over the body.
"One person attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascended to heaven. Xin Andong hung up the phone and sighed.
The eldest brother-in-law's side is not going well, almost all the roads that can be walked have been blocked by the other party, at this time, most people choose to protect themselves, and the Xin family, which is on the cusp of the storm, is like everyone thinks, it is probably coming to an end.
That night, Xin Andong was lying on the bed tossing and turning, he was thinking, how to keep the Xin family, he even thought that he had accumulated these wealth, maybe he could buy the store and get a sum of money, and transfer this egg-laying hen to a bigger man than Xu Gang's backstage, he didn't believe that no one wanted his own seafood hot pot restaurant that was so profitable.
But thinking about it, he is still unwilling, and the taste of compromising with reality, or the taste of compromising with power, is too uncomfortable.
I ran with my eldest brother-in-law for two days, during this period, the lobster restaurant was closed, but there were still thugs who came to harass him every day, that Xu Gang's character was really dirty, but Xin Andong didn't expect him to be even dirtier, and the moment he received a call from Uncle Yue, he understood the feeling of exhaustion.
"Uncle Yue, don't worry, let me think of a way, and then give me some time. Xin Andong bit his lip and hung up the call.
He was standing at the door of the county magistrate of Qingshui County at this time, and he had been waiting for people here since yesterday, but without exception, he had not waited. This county magistrate, who has a good reputation and is very loved by the people of Qingshui County, is said to be a fair official, diligent and loves the people, Xin Andong hopes that the other party can help him.
In the afternoon when the sun was shining, his cheeks were slightly red, and beads of sweat on his forehead continued to flow down his chin.
The vermilion door opened, and a middle-aged aunt walked out in embarrassment with an apron, "Young man, go back, you can't wait." ”
If you can't wait, no one wants to see him.
Xin Andong laughed at himself, licked his chapped lips, and bowed his chin, "I know, thank you, auntie." "By now, there are some things that don't need to be explained.
When he turned around, he staggered a little, rubbed his knees, slightly distressed, he must have stood for a long time, and his legs were numb.
Is it true that he can't sue the province? Because he seems to be desperate now, he can only choose this stupid method that takes a long time and produces slow results.
Physically and mentally exhausted when he returned home, Xin Andong looked up, saw someone coming, his eyes suddenly widened, his heart skipped a beat, and blurted out in surprise, "Brother Zong?"
"Y-Why are you here?"
For a while, he thought a lot, especially the eldest brother-in-law who was standing on the side with a complicated face, he frowned, could it be that the eldest brother-in-law told Brother Zong?
Jiang Xuanzong's face was very ugly.
"If I don't come, you'll never tell me?"
It was true that he didn't want to tell Brother Zong before, after all, Xin Andong subconsciously didn't want to delay his future because of this matter, he was already at a loss in his heart, so he was willing to drag him into the water.
But the current situation seems that as long as he nods, Brother Zong can be angry with him alive.
Xin Andong's face was scornful, and he smiled hard, "No, I want to tell you." ”
Who believes him such nonsense, Jiang Xuanzong snorted coldly, his sharp gaze swept over his face, and the anger in his heart was extinguished when he saw his emaciated appearance now.
"How did you get this picture?" Jiang Xuanzong's eyes flashed with distress, and the question he said softened a lot.
Xin Andong lowered his head for a moment, only to find that the hem of the khaki slacks had been splashed with black mud at some point.
His face suddenly showed embarrassment, "I'll go change my clothes." ”
It's a little green now, it must be that he hasn't slept well because of that recently, the child who was spoiled by him in the early years was dyed exhausted in a few days, and his face looked even paler, Jiang Xuanzong only felt a pain in his chest, and he was even more disgusted with Xu Siyuan, the culprit who was far away in City B.
He reached out and rubbed the back of the child's head, and said softly, "Don't worry, some things haven't reached that point yet." ”
Xin Andong blinked, what do you mean?
Jiang Xuanzong chuckled, "Do you really think your sect brother is so useless?"
His eyes lit up suddenly, Xin Andong understood the meaning of Jiang Xuanzong's words, but he couldn't believe it, Brother Zong is very powerful, and he is also one of the best in the city, but City B, a big man in the center of the capital of China, he still doesn't dare to think about it.
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest of the matter, you have a good rest tonight, get a good night's sleep," Jiang Xuanzong rubbed his fingertips under his eyes with pity, and softened his voice, "Obedient, go." ”
With a gentle push on his back, Xin Andong faced his mother's relieved face, and his cheeks were red and a little ashamed.
Xin Wenfang only felt that the relationship between her youngest son and Secretary Jiang was as close as ever, worthy of being her Xin Wenfang's son, she bent down and nodded at Jiang Xuanzong gratefully, "It's really troublesome for you, Dongzi has always had to be taken care of by you, you bother with this matter in our family, my mother and I will be a cow and a horse for you in the next life!"
"It's not that serious, auntie," Jiang Xuanzong loves Wu and Wu, and is also very kind to Xin Wenfang, and said to her, "It's a matter of effort, not to mention the relationship between our two families, An Dong was raised by me, and I can definitely help with family affairs." ”
What's more, this time the Xin family is considered a disaster, Xu Siyuan bullied people and instigated her younger brother to do such a dirty thing, Jiang Xuanzong thought that he hadn't called Jiang's father this month, perhaps, he should say something tonight.
Xin Wenfang nodded gratefully, "Thank you, thank you!"
