Watanabe nodded, Wen Peishi's side was naturally fine.

When Lu Chengzhou told Huang Xiaoan that Watanabe agreed to the electricity price increase plan, Huang Xiaoan was ecstatic.

Although he is not from the tram company, he can also make a huge profit as long as the tram price increases.

"Mr. Lu, it's almost noon, how about I call Bi Guolin over and have a meal together?" Huang Xiao'an said happily.

"There's no need to eat, Mayor Wen, do you need me to go again?" Lu Chengzhou asked.

He really wanted to visit Wen Peishi, since Wen Peishi officially became mayor, Lu Chengzhou had not met him.

"If Mr. Lu is willing, of course it would be great." Huang Xiao'an said happily.

When Wen Peishi saw Wen Peishi, he was very enthusiastic, and deliberately ended a meeting in advance to entertain Lu Chengzhou.

"Mr. Lu, you must give Wen a chance at noon, please have a good meal." Wen Peishi took Lu Chengzhou's hand and said enthusiastically.

Chen Xigen was killed, and Wen Peishi was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

If he hadn't arrived at the Municipal Office in advance, I'm afraid he would have been Chen Xigen's fate.

Originally, Wen Peishi was very grateful to Lu Chengzhou, but after Chen Xigen was killed, he felt that Lu Chengzhou was his protector.

If it weren't for Lu Chengzhou's protection, even if he didn't die in the hands of Jia Shaoming in the British Concession, he would have died in the hands of the anti-Japanese elements.

Lu Chengzhou was very enthusiastic, and accompanied Wen Peishi to Yuhuatai, which is a more famous hotel in Haigu.

There is a Yuhuatai restaurant in Beiping, and the Yuhuatai restaurant in Haigu is also very famous, mainly based on Huai cuisine.

The interior decoration of the restaurant highlights the characteristics of the south of the Yangtze River, and the decoration style is based on the style of Yangzhou, with one scene on the first floor, one hall and one grid to build the charm and style of the south of the Yangtze River.

And a few of the main dishes here are really good, such as shark fin in original sauce, stewed crab roe lion head, squirrel osmanthus fish, crystal shrimp cakes, etc., so that Lu Chengzhou almost swallowed his tongue.

"I've only heard that it's good before, but I don't know what's good. When I came today, I realized that not only is the environment beautiful, but the dishes are excellent. Lu Chengzhou put down chopsticks like flying, and he felt that he must eat a few times in the future.

Although the consumption here is very expensive, with Lu Chengzhou's income, no matter how expensive it is, it will not be heartbroken.

"Come often in the future, and when the time comes, tell the account office, and hang it on my account." Wen Peishi saw that Lu Chengzhou was very satisfied with this, and he was also very happy.

As long as the guests like his hospitality, he has satisfaction.

"What's so embarrassing about that." Lu Chengzhou said that he accepted Wen Peishi's gold bars, and then came to eat and drink for nothing, and he always felt embarrassed.

"You're my savior, and as long as I want to be mayor for a day, you can come and eat at any time. The accounts here are finally settled by the municipal office. Wen Peishi waved his hand, and he would not be heartbroken.

"Then I will be ashamed of it." Lu Chengzhou responded, since it is paid by the government, if you don't eat for nothing, you won't eat.

Although Wen Peishi kept talking about it, he thanked Lu Chengzhou for his protection in the British Concession.

But Lu Chengzhou didn't want to talk more about this, Wen Peishi is now the mayor, the other party can say it, but he can't mention it.

During the banquet, Lu Chengzhou told Wen Peishi about the Bishang Tram Company.

At the same time, he also presented a check for 30,000 yuan that Huang Xiao'an entrusted him to transfer.

Wen Peishi did not refuse this check, and even carefully checked the check in front of Lu Chengzhou, and then solemnly put the check into his purse.

"It looks like the tram company is very profitable." Wen Peishi patted the bag and said with emotion.

As the mayor of Haigu, his monthly salary is 800 yuan, 2,000 yuan each for office expenses and entertainment, and 10,000 yuan for confidential expenses.

It is said that his income is already very high, but when he saw that Bi Guolin sold 30,000 yuan, he suddenly felt that his monthly money was nothing.

In fact, when Wen Peishi was a superintendent in the customs, he had a deep study of fraud and corruption.

After becoming the mayor, he is ready to do a lot of work.

It's just that Wen Peishi is currently consolidating his position first.

And to consolidate the position, in addition to arranging one's own people in the city office, more importantly, it is necessary to shoot the Japanese on the back.

Since becoming mayor, his home has become a special banquet.

As long as it is useful to him and can invite people, he will be a guest at home.

His mayor's residence is brightly lit all day long, full of guests, and the banquet continues.

For example, Masaharu Honma, commander of the Japanese Defense Forces, Yuguan Xun, a special service of the Japanese Haigu Army, the captain of the military police, an adviser and assistant officer of the city office, the Japanese consul general in Haigu, and the head of the Japanese Resident Corps, were invited in turn.

"It should be very profitable." Lu Cheng was stunned, Huang Xiao'an's money came from Bi Guolin, and he and Watanabe, as well as Wen Peishi, spent forty-five thousand.

If you add Huang Xiaoan's share, the cost of Guolin is already more than 50,000 yuan.

And how much money can a tram company make in a year? I'm afraid it won't be 50,000, but ten, or even dozens, hundreds of 50,000.

Wen Peishi didn't mention it, Lu Chengzhou really didn't notice this.

It wasn't until soon after, when Haigu also established a tram company, that Lu Chengzhou understood the intention of Wen Peishi's words.

After the establishment of the tram company in Haigu, Wen Peishi directly served as the chairman.

He doesn't have to pay a penny, but he can pay a lot of dividends from the tram company every year, and he, the mayor, is really good at making money.

Although Lu Chengzhou also received 10,000 yuan from Huang Xiao'an, he also completed this matter.

Lu Chengzhou collected the money and did the work, but he didn't want the tram fare increase to be implemented.

The best means to crack down on Wen Peishi is, naturally, public opinion.

After Lu Chengzhou returned, he wrote a manuscript, in the tone of a reporter, and reasonably suspected that there was a behind-the-scenes deal with the price increase of the commercial tram company.

Moreover, it is inferred that the amount of bribes accepted by Wen Peishi is also set at 10,000 yuan.

After the Municipal Office approved the price increase of the Bishang Tram Company, some reporters who heard the news kept asking Bi Guolin questions and asked him to reveal the news behind the scenes.

Although Bi Guolin strenuously denied it, it was still published in the newspaper.

Although the article is a bit of a catch, and the amount is not right, the reporter's conclusion is correct, the reason why the price increase is because Wen Peishi accepted bribes.

This incident made Wen Peishi very embarrassed, however, he had no way at all.

Besides, when he decided to be a traitor, he was ready to be drowned in the spit of others.

After another period of time, Huang Xiao'an found Lu Chengzhou again, and the water company was ready to raise prices.

The tram is only for those who take the tram every day, but the tap water is used by most households.

The increase in the price of tap water has caused the public to boil with anger.
