"I really don't want to care about this matter, I just look at the friendship between the two of us for so many years, and I will help you one last time, but your expectations should not be too high. Lao Jiao pinched the empty teacup in his hand and said with a sigh.

"Lao Jiao, you say, how to deal with this matter to reduce the loss?" He Maolin tried to grasp Lao Jiao's life-saving straw.

"There are two ways, one is for you to pay the full fine, and the other is for the customs to confiscate these goods, there is really no other way. This is the best I can do for you. Otherwise, your Chenhai is only afraid that he will have to eat prison food. Smuggling, how dare he? Don't come to me again for this kind of thing in the future, I can't help it, and it's not easy for me to drag my family with me, Maolin, you understand. ”

"Is there really no better way?" He Maolin struggled for a moment. Lao Jiao didn't even think about it, and told him directly: "No, either pay the money, or deduct the goods, or the public security organs intervene, you can choose for yourself." ”

He Maolin is also a ruthless person, knowing that Lao Jiao said this part, there is really no way, if this batch of goods is gone, they will lose not only the payment, but also liquidated damages. So he said, "Okay, we'll admit the punishment." ”

Lao Jiao listened and said, "Okay, if the strong man breaks his wrist, I know that Maolin will choose this." I look at your family Chenhai, you should take him for a few more years, this kid is a little impetuous. ”

After He Maolin politely sent Lao Jiao away, he sat down in the chair and sneered: "Hehe, a strong man has broken his wrist, how easy is it to talk about? He has worked hard for so many years, and he has finally built this foundation, and this time, half of his net worth will be gone. And the payment of this large fine will inevitably affect the operation of other projects. The first thing to bear the brunt of is the project of Yishui Department Store in Yishui Commercial District, what should he do?

The cigarette in his hand had burned out, and the cigarette butt burned his fingers, so he casually threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and sat there for a long time before walking out.

Back at the company, Zhou Guisheng was already waiting in the office, he was the director of the purchasing department of a shopping mall. Twenty percent of the seized goods were ordered by him.

As soon as he saw He Maolin come back, Zhou Guisheng hurriedly closed the door. He Maolin knew what he was going to ask, it was nothing more than to inquire if he could deliver the goods on time.

Sure enough, Zhou Guisheng opened his mouth and asked, "Maolin, if you give me a letter, can this batch of goods still come out?"

Zhou Gui usually accepted the benefits of their company in his life, but now when something happened, he ran over and asked him one by one, He Maolin was very annoying, but he still had to do business in the future, as long as the surname Zhou was still in the position of the person in charge of procurement, he would have to be false and wronged with him.

So He Maolin patted him on the shoulder, made a soothing gesture, and said: "Old Zhou, don't worry, this matter has already been seen, and I will inform you as soon as the goods arrive, you, just put your heart in your stomach." ”

He Maolin is usually quite trustworthy in business, so as soon as he said this, Zhou Guisheng was slightly relieved.

He thought for a while and asked He Maolin: "Maolin, how did you solve this matter?" In his opinion, such a large batch of goods, the customs side is not vegetarian, how can He Maolin solve this matter so easily?

He Maolin stretched out his hand, motioned for Zhou Guisheng to sit down, and then handed him a cigarette, after both of them lit it, he spit out a smoke ring, and said to Zhou Guisheng calmly: "It's not a big deal, I, He Maolin, have been mixed in Yizhou for so many years, and I always know so many people." ”

He Maolin naturally couldn't tell him the truth, no matter how much money he lost, he had to swallow this bitter water by himself. If you let the other party know that your ability is limited, I am afraid that it will affect future cooperation.

Zhou Guisheng listened, believed it, and said: "I said that Maolin, your hands and eyes are all over the sky, and you will definitely be fine, you see, it is really like this." ”

He Maolin said politely: "Where is the matter, brother, you are capable, and your future business will depend on you." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Thinking of the benefits he has received in the past few years, Zhou Guisheng is naturally willing to cooperate.

He suddenly remembered something, so he asked He Maolin: "How is your Jingjing?"

"Jingjing, what's wrong with her, she's still like that, what's wrong?"

When Zhou Guisheng saw it, he guessed that he was afraid that He Jingjing didn't say anything about it when he went home that day, so he was a bit reckless in asking.

"Oh, it's okay, my girl is often with Jingjing, and sometimes she mutters a few words to me, and I just ask. ”

"Lao Zhou, do you have something to hide from me?"

"This ......" Zhou Guisheng thought about it, and had already said it, so he just said it directly, lest He Maolin know about it in the future, and thought that he was watching a joke on the side.

Therefore, he asked He Maolin: "Maolin, do you know that He Chenfeng of your family has a partner?"

But it's not good for him to say that he doesn't know, he doesn't even know if his son has a partner, and he has to let outsiders tell him, how embarrassing it is to say it?

So he said vaguely: "You know, are they young people, many things they don't like to talk to adults." ”

"Oh, yes. But do you know that Maolin? His partner seems to be at odds with Jingjing?"

He Maolin heard that there was something inside, and this time he wanted to know the reason, so it was not good to pretend to know anymore, so he asked: "What happened to Jingjing and her?" In fact, he didn't know what He Chenfeng's girlfriend's surname was, what height and appearance were all unified.

Sure enough, He Jingjing didn't say it! Zhou Guisheng said: "It was two days ago that Jingjing had dinner with her and the two of them quarreled, and my girl didn't say anything about it. ”

Why didn't his daughter say it? Obviously, her eyebrows fluttered and she learned the way He Jingjing and Yu Cailan talked, and told her family about it as a joke. At that time, his wife also said: "You deserve it, He Jingjing's mother deserves it." But Zhou Guisheng would not tell He Maolin if he was killed.

After Zhou Guisheng left, He Maolin dealt with several groups of people, all of whom asked about this batch of goods, and he was busy until more than eight o'clock in the evening before he returned home.

Wu Yulian greeted her as usual, and when He Maolin changed his shoes, he didn't see He Jingjing, nor did he hear her movement in other rooms, so he asked, "Where's Jingjing?

"Oh, she's not back yet, she should be soon. Wu Yulian has been restless these days, and she didn't even notice what time He Jingjing was leaving, and she didn't ask her where she was going, so as soon as He Maolin asked, she felt a little weak.

"Where did she go, why didn't she come back so late?" He Maolin's heart was a little uncontrollable, and he raised his voice and asked.

"I don't know where their young people went, they will be back in a while, Maolin, you are tired, rest first, and wait for her to come back. ”

He Maolin sat on the sofa tiredly: "You said that you have nothing to do at home all day, you can't take care of the child, you don't even know where she went, and you don't know when she will come back, what are you used to with that child?"

"Mao Lin, are you losing your temper with me?" asked Wu Yulian's delicate face with a look of disbelief.
