The luxurious living room was fresh and pleasant, and the temperature was moderate, but the deputy mayor Gui Chaoran was sweating profusely, fidgeting, and looking at the direction of the stairs with a pair of bitter eyes, looking impatient and burning his buttocks. His usual glamorous appearance was gone, and his majestic demeanor was gone, replaced by a head full of panic, anxiety, and panic.

"Rare guest, rare guest, Gui Deputy Boss is here, deigning to visit, it is really a loss of welcome, a loss of welcome, I hope to forgive me, forgive me!" Wu Gongquan came downstairs and said with a haha.

"Hey President Wu, I'm really sorry to disturb me late at night, I have to ask for your bearing!" Deputy Boss Gui stood up from his chair with a sigh and replied with a smile that was more ugly than crying, "It's just that the situation is urgent, and I can't wait to disturb your dreams." Please bear with me, bear with me! ”

"You may be seated!" Wu Gongquan smiled and asked with a confused expression, "Oh? What else could make the famous Gui Vice Boss panic? Isn't that fantastical, utterly incredible? ”

"Mr. Wu smiled!" Deputy Boss Gui kept wiping the beads of sweat on his head, and said with an embarrassed expression, "You also know that the top has been strictly controlled and investigated recently, and many things are not easy to operate. Especially the 'Garden of Eden' project. Recently, those shareholders seem to have gotten some inside information, saying that Tianyu Company's funds are out of a big hole, so they gather in the city hall every day to make noise and seek death. Another sit-in, another hunger strike, and another demonstration, it was a mess. Impact, that effect is extremely bad. And the new municipal leader is young and wise, and he is completely a master who is not easy to deceive and mess with, and has already instructed the relevant departments to thoroughly investigate the matter and give justice to those damned shareholders. So...... So I'd like to ask ...... right now."

"Ask what? What's there to ask? Wu Gongquan waved his hand to interrupt Gui Chaoran's words, and replied with a gloomy face, "Didn't you tell you earlier?" This was a technical issue, with major errors in the design drawings and insufficient load-bearing structures to support the massive building system. It's not a big deal, can't you just modify it? Just a little more time! ”

"But ......," Gui Chaoran said without rubbing his hands.

Wu Gongquan waved his hand vigorously, frowned and said unhappily: "Such a trivial matter can also worry about your first mate?" What about your men? What about the power you control? Why don't you send some to rush up? A few of them were arrested and thrown into a prison cell, and then sentenced to a severe and speedy sentence for the crime of illegal assembly and disorder. Let's see who dares to take the lead in making trouble? Let's see who dares to demonstrate? ”

"It's not me criticizing you, Vice Boss Gui." Wu Gongquan softened his tone, gently patted the stunned Gui Chaoran on the shoulder, and said with a look of deep affection, "The body must be tight." The body is the capital of the revolution, and it is also the foundation of the battle. Don't overwork and cause premature aging, or it can't be worth it. Some trivial and trivial things should be left to others to deal with, and they can't run out in the middle of the night to be cold and cold. The night breeze is very cool, in case there is a headache and brain fever or something, wouldn't it be a big mistake? By the way, what happened to those two Thai ladyboys? Are you still comfortable? That villa is okay, right? Don't say it, I really envy you! The golden house is Jiaojiao, at ease, happy and happy like a fairy, and one hides two Jiao. What other man in the world is blessed like you? Cherish it, enjoy it, and don't let down their tenderness and affection! ”

"That's, that's! But I have to thank Mr. Wu for your boldness! I sent both the beauty and the villa, and gave me a hehehe...... A tranquil and elegant environment. Gui Chaoran smiled in embarrassment, salivating and thanking Wu Gongquan. After a while, he plucked up his courage again, wrung his hands and said, "I will never forget Mr. Wu's kindness, if possible, I will take care of you and protect you as always." It's just that...... That $500 million bank loan ......"

"Isn't it still due?" Wu Gongquan said with a haha, "Believe me, as soon as the deadline comes, I, Wu someone, will immediately repay the money, and I will never embarrass you." Besides, if I embarrass you, isn't it just embarrass myself? I still know this truth, please rest assured, put ten thousand hearts. ”

"But...... But your interest hasn't been paid yet, and you haven't paid a cent of tens of millions of interest! It's been more than ten months, and this is the lowest interest rate loan in our city, and it's almost for nothing to lend you money. ”

"It's only more than 9 million, and it's not worth the cost of a decent house." Wu Gongquan replied nonchalantly.

"That's a lot of money, especially for a boss like you." Gui Chaoran said in anticipation, "But you have to pay, it's better to pay late than early, at least you have to tell the bank." I don't think it's better to pay a little bit now to show your sincerity, and I'll help you be accommodating and accommodating the rest, so that they can have some more time! Otherwise, or something will go wrong. Not only can't I escape you, but even I will get in. Would you like to see such an ending? Under the new leadership's current aggressive style of building a clean and honest government? ”

"Oh, I said Gui Deputy Boss, it's not that I don't want to pay back, it's really that there is a temporary shortage of funds, and I can't turn it around all of a sudden." Wu Gongquan put on a bitter face, sighed at Gui Chaoran and poured bitter water, "Think about it, a company is so big and has so many employees, the salary alone is a large amount, not to mention maintaining the normal operation of the company?" ”

"But there are few people in your company, and you basically don't do business, how much can this cost you? How much money do you need to keep it running? ”

When Wu Gongquan heard this, he couldn't help laughing, looked at Gui Chaoran and said without hesitation: "Now the company's employees have decreased, but other expenses have not decreased, and sometimes even increased a lot." For example, the villa that was given to you cost more than 5 million yuan for decoration alone, not to mention the living expenses, clothing and makeup expenses for your two pseudo-mothers every month? Is it easy? ”

"Yes...... But how much benefit do you get from me? Have you counted? Gui Chaoran argued with a blushing face. He has been in the officialdom for many years, and he knows how to properly control his tone and demeanor, and how to express his emotional will at the top, so his attitude has hardened for a while, and the honorific title has been waived on the spot, and he directly calls the other party "you", "If you haven't calculated, then I'll help you calculate." Ten times more? That's a conscience-free algorithm, twenty times is the most conservative, and thirty times is only more than less. And all these huge benefits, the inversion of the empty glove white wolf, can you do it without me? ”

Wu Gongquan looked at the emotional Gui Chaoran in surprise, as if he hadn't known him until now.

Gui Chaoran straightened his waist, found his senses, and restored his majestic leadership appearance, hehe sneered and said to Wu Gongquan: "I know that you have a lot of gangsters, and I also know that you are the owner behind the 'Sail Trading Company', but I also have a lot of strength under my command, let alone a vegetarian, and I can also tell you clearly, if I didn't try to defend you, I think you would have become a dead bat, and you would have been allowed to jump until now?" So I want you to give you a definite answer now, what about the bank loan? How to deal with the 'Garden of Eden' project? ”

"What would happen to you if I neither repaid nor dealt with the 'Garden of Eden'?" Wu Gongquan was stunned for a long time, and finally came back to his senses. He shrugged his shoulders and said to Gui Chaoran with a sneer, "Tell me?" Or just call the police to come and arrest me? If that's the case, I promise I won't make it difficult for my subordinates, let alone stab you in the back, because you're not worth it. But even if I'm going to let you go, do you think you can still be on top and commanding? Can you still be pampered and clothed? Can you still get the tenderness and sweetness of those two pseudo-mothers? I don't think it will be, maybe from tomorrow onwards, you will have to suffer humiliation and suffering behind bars. Doing the heavy and dirty hard work, eating the pig food without oil and salt, and sleeping in the flea bunk. Sell your soul for a cigarette, dedicate your dignity to a piece of meat, gamble your life for a bite of food, and live a painful life that you don't want to die early but can't take your own life! But one thing is still good, that is, there are many men there, and there are all kinds of them. And there are all kinds of types, just to suit your taste. ”

"You ......" Gui Chaoran's face changed drastically, and he was embarrassed and angry, pointing at Wu Gongquan and saying in a trembling voice, "You...... What exactly do you want? What do you get by dragging me down? Are you trying to kick me away when you're done with the benefits? Is it that simple? Yes, yes, you must have other plans and schemes. Don't...... Could that rumor be true? You...... Do you really want to take the money and leave and escape from the ocean? ”

"How so?" Wu Gongquan laughed treacherously, looked at Gui Chaoran with pity and said, "For the sake of our many mutual benefits and close cooperation, I will tell you the truth." While it's still too late, hurry up and find a way back for yourself, whether to go, stay or turn yourself in, listen to the convenience, and stop pestering the bank and the 'Garden of Eden'! Go ahead and hurry up for these two or three days, otherwise it's too late. ”

"You...... You ......" Gui Chaoran's eyes were black and his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and he couldn't get up after struggling for a long time.

"Sending off!" Wu Gongquan glanced at Gui Chaoran with disdain, stretched out his hand and gently dusted off Bi Ting's clothes, and walked briskly upstairs with his head held high.

When the two gunmen heard the sound, they vigorously lifted the distracted and paralyzed Gui Chaoran, quickly stuffed him into the special car, and shouted to the accompanying driver: "Send him back, don't be embarrassed here." ”

The driver was shocked, and he didn't know what happened to the leader, but he didn't dare to ask more casually, so he had to agree and hurriedly drove away from Cheung Chau Bay in a special car.

In the grand office building of the city hall, the dejected Gui Chaoran sent the driver away and sat alone in his luxurious and spacious office.

"How so? Why is this happening? Could it be that his bright future is over? Could it be that his luxurious life has come to an end? From now on, I no longer have the noble courtesy of the stars holding the moon and hugging each other? There is no longer a supreme majesty that is unspeakable? There is no longer a steady stream of gratifying tributes that are making money every day? There are no longer thousands of charming and amorous pseudo-mothers to appease? He sat motionless in his chair like a zombie, staring at the bustling nightscape outside the window, and asking himself over and over again. He was disheveled, his face was bloodless, and his hands, feet, and lips trembled. The shiny, unmessy hair has long since become protruding and unkempt. In just over an hour, it seems to have aged for more than ten years.

"Nope! Never! This must not be the case! After sitting stiffly for a long time, the frightened Gui Chaoran suddenly jumped up from the chair, stared at his bloodshot eyes, walked with scattered steps, shouted like a dying hungry wolf, and used his hands and feet to kick and kick wildly on the mountains of famous cigarettes, wine, gold and silver bracelets under his feet. After only a few moments, the fragrant and clean office immediately became a mess, unbearable to look at, and almost impossible to put down.

After a seizure like a wolf, he sat down on the ground again, Mu Ran grabbed a one-kilogram gold bar, held it in his hand and stroked it gently, examined it carefully, and kept muttering: "What should I do?" What now? Putting water out of the fire? With a huge amount of money to open the joints? can temporarily cram Buddha's feet and burn high incense in a hurry, but who will pay attention to you and pull you to save you? Surrender? Fight for leniency? But can the damage caused to the country over the years be straightened out? Can the merits and demerits be compensated? The ill-gotten gains of Wu Gongquan's thief alone are enough to survive the rest of his life in an iron prison! Pray? Do you expect the thief's conscience to find out, mend his ways, plug the big hole in the bank, restart the 'Garden of Eden' project, and be a good man who keeps to himself? Is it possible? With its sinister intentions and vicious methods, it is something that you don't have to dream about! So what to do? Go to jail? To atone for sins? Do you want to spend the rest of your life washing away the bad karma you have committed? To sell one's soul or body for a cigarette, a mouthful of food, a piece of flesh, or even to put one's life on the line? ”

"Nope! No way! Never go to jail! Even if you die, you won't go to jail! He opened his mouth and screamed, threw away the gold bar in his hand, kicked away the cigarettes and alcohol in the way, got up and hurried to the desk, quickly took out a police pistol from the drawer, held it in his hand for a long time, and finally kept twitching the corners of his mouth, desperate and helpless slowly put the muzzle of the gun into his mouth......

Just as he closed his eyes and wanted to pull the trigger, an incredible thought suddenly flooded into his mind, making his face solemn and solemn in an instant. So he opened his eyes, slowly put down the pistol, inserted it into the holster, and said solemnly: "Forget it, don't defile this gun!" ”

After putting away the pistol, he glanced at the valuables such as gold and silver bracelets, cordyceps ginseng, and famous cigarettes and wine all over the place, and finally gritted his teeth, with remorse, helplessness and self-blame, he staggered to the window, gently pushed the window open, closed his eyes and jumped down......
