The next day, Ling Sheng came to the county seat from home, and he wanted to hurry up and go to the original customer who had the intention of advertising business, and finalize the contract, preferably to collect the money, so that he could have a room for turnover.

Let's go to Orange's Alice Beauty Salon first, Orange is a female netizen in the 520 group, and the beauty salon was opened by her and her sister. The day before yesterday, Orange took the initiative to call Ling Sheng and asked him about the price of doing a year-round subscription advertising page in the DM newspaper, and the new store always had to do some publicity. DM advertising is a business of Lingsheng Media Company, which is published in the DM advertising newspaper of Lingsheng agent at the expense of each intended business, and is distributed to consumers free of charge by Lingsheng after printing.

The business of oranges is also a big business for Ling Sheng in distress. So at that time, Ling Sheng wanted to promote this business, even if his company closed down next year, he could transfer the rest of the business to his peers, and there was no loss to customers anyway.

Because he was eager to achieve this deal, Ling Sheng's offer to oranges at that time was already a zero profit or even a loss. But he put an additional condition on the oranges, which must be paid in full at once. Because Juzi had actually consulted the quotations of several other companies in advance, Ling Sheng's price was indeed much lower than that of others, and everyone could be regarded as friends, so Juzi had decided the cooperation with Ling Sheng on the phone at that time, and also agreed to his request to pay the annual advertising fee in one lump sum first. Therefore, this business with Orange is almost a certainty, and Ling Sheng came today to sign a contract with Orange directly to collect money.

"Hello Orange!" When he came to Alice's beauty salon and saw that the orange happened to be inside, Ling Sheng took the initiative to say hello first.

"Oh, the Lord of the Great Flock is here. Welcome, welcome! Orange smiled. This is a relatively shrewd strong woman, several years older than Ling Sheng, with several industries in her hands, and the beauty salon is a project she has only invested in.

"Orange, I came today to go through the formalities of the cooperation we talked about the day before yesterday." Ling Sheng said as he unzipped the briefcase he was carrying and took out the contract and receipt from inside.

"Oh, that's it." Juzi poured Ling Sheng a glass of water and brought it over, smiled slightly apologetically and said, "I'm really not embarrassed, yesterday my sister told me that she had just paid the rent of the beauty salon, and now the funds in hand are relatively tight." Let's talk about advertising after the Spring Festival. After all, this beauty salon is owned by me and my sister, and I want to respect her opinion. ”

Ling Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and at this moment, he realized what it meant to cook a duck and flew away again. He knew that this was an excuse for oranges, and this little money was nothing to her at all, and the most sure business was in vain.

"Sister Orange, you're not going to do it to someone else, are you?" Although he already knew the answer in his heart, Ling Sheng still asked with regret.

"No, it's really a financial crunch. You can rest assured that you will definitely do it here. "In fact, yesterday's discussion of Ling Sheng in the 520 group made Orange suddenly have a wariness of Ling Sheng, who wants to cooperate with a liar? Besides, Orange and Ling Sheng are not very familiar, and they don't know anything about his personality.

"It's okay, as long as my sister has a business and thinks about me. Then I'll go first, and there are other customers to visit. Although he was annoyed in his heart, Ling Sheng knew that it was useless to talk about this matter now.

"Okay, I'll have time to play." Juzi's face was always full of smiles: "Next time, let the little girl in our store give you a free facial treatment, so that our big group of owners will become more handsome." ”

After leaving the beauty salon, Ling Sheng went to some old customers such as furniture city, optical stores, and decoration companies to discuss continued cooperation. But these bosses who originally intended to continue to do business seemed to have unified their voices in advance today, and they all said various reasons, and said that they would wait until after the Spring Festival. These bosses are all in the Qianhu 520 group, although they don't usually talk much in the group, but they can see the discussions in the 520 group, and those remarks have made them have a very bad conclusion about Ling Sheng's personality.

"Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, you are sending me to a dead end." After running down for most of the day, Ling Sheng found nothing, and his face was full of frustration. Although the failure of the business was doomed, Ling Sheng originally hoped that the business of these customers could barely support himself for a while, and buy himself a little time to deal with a large number of aftermath matters in advance. Now it seems that this hope is also impossible, and the remaining days are numbered.

"Young man, may I ask where your Kowloon Hotel is?" Ling Sheng sat on an electric bicycle and stopped on the side of the road, and when he didn't know where to go, an old man came up to him and asked for directions.

"It's just ahead." Ling Sheng pointed to the tall building in front of him.

"Then do you know how many Kowloon hotels there are in Qianhu?" The old man continued to ask: "Does the inspection team of the provincial party committee live in the Kowloon Hotel?" I just went to this hotel, I asked the security guard, and the security guard said that the patrol team did not live there. ”

"Qianhu is just this Kowloon Hotel, but I don't know about the inspection team of the provincial party committee." Ling Sheng paid careful attention to the old man when he spoke, he felt like he was from the countryside, he was about 70 years old, his old face was full of tiredness and doubt, it was estimated that he had walked a lot today.

With his professional sensitivity, Ling Sheng immediately judged that this old man had come to petition. But did the inspection team of the provincial party committee come to move the lake? Where do you stay when you come to Qianhu? I really haven't heard of this Ling Sheng.

"Uncle, you're here to sue, right? Who told you that the inspection team lives in the Kowloon Hotel? Found a news clue, Ling Sheng's curiosity to explore the truth of the matter was immediately mobilized, "My surname is Ling, and I used to do journalism, can you tell me anything first?" ”

"Oh, so reporter Ling, it would be great if you could help us!" The old man thought that the reporters were all engaged in the news, and he was immediately impressed by the young man in front of him: "I am a veteran party member with 40 years of party experience, and now five of our old party members have jointly reported that the former secretary of our village and the accounting partner have committed fraud and embezzled millions of land reclamation funds from the state. In the past four years since the report, we have been to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection seven times, and the provincial and municipal discipline inspection commissions have all petitioned. Today, Comrade Chen Gao told us that the provincial inspection team had arrived at Qianhu and lived in Kowloon. But I ran for a long time and couldn't find them. The old man said as he took out a copy of the petition materials that had already been printed out of his bag and handed it to Ling Sheng.

Chen Gao is the former deputy secretary of the county party committee of Qianhu County, he has met Ling Sheng a few times, he has been retired for more than 10 years, he is a relatively upright old man, and Ling Sheng still has a respect for him. Hearing that Chen Gao asked the old man to come to the inspection team of the provincial party committee, Ling Sheng couldn't help but pay more attention to this matter.

The petition materials listed in detail a number of facts about violations of discipline and law by the subject of the report, such as privately engraved villagers' seals, impersonated signatures, fabricated facts, and so on. The materials also mention a cadre named Lin Zhiqiang of the Qianhu County Commission for Discipline Inspection. The report letter said that in the process of investigating the matter, Lin Zhiqiang was suspected of being bribed by the reported person, so as to shield and protect the reported person. What shocked Ling Sheng the most was that the report letter not only indicated the names and contact numbers of five old party members, but also the seals, signatures and fingerprints of more than 200 people.
