Chapter 45: Collusion between officials and businessmen

When Wei Chisheng came to the seaside for a vacation, he lived in Cao Pu's big villa, which was authorized by Cao Pu, and no one had any objections, and no one was suspicious of what had happened recently.

Yu Chisheng accidentally met Liang Lu, the deputy head of the district, on the beach by the sea, and there was a beautiful woman beside him, Yu Chisheng took a closer look, but it was Tao Ting.

He later learned that Tao Ting defected to Cheng Gong, and Cheng Gong was tired of playing with her...... introduced her to Liang Lu again. Liang Lu saw that Tao Ting had a bit of a look, so he agreed and did things for Cheng Gong.

Liang Lu changed his previous depth, perhaps because he was in a particularly relaxed mood during his vacation, he felt very cordial when he met Yu Chisheng here, and chattered with Wei Chisheng for two hours of nonsense.

For example, we can talk about how sinister people's hearts are, how corrupt officials are, and the various domestic and foreign crises we are currently facing. When he was about to break up at the end, Liang Lu got to the point.

I only heard Liang Lu say hypocritically: "I advise you to leave Cao Pu...... Because Cao Pu is extremely insidious, and the Cao Group has a lot of twists and turns, you still don't know much about some things, so ......"

This persuasion made Wei Chi Sheng feel a little impatient to hear in his heart, but he still showed an extremely respectful appearance.

His answer was also rigorous and meticulous, with infinite reverence for Cao Pu and great gratitude to Liang Lu, but other than that, nothing was revealed.

Liang Lu couldn't help but be secretly taken aback when he saw that Wei Chisheng was more hypocritical and cunning than him. He racked his brains and painstakingly tried to get Wei Chisheng's answer, but it seemed to be in vain.

After Liang Lu took Tao Ting away, Wei Chisheng saw Tao Ting's twisted waist like a water snake, and he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

His vanity was on full display. When he got this satisfaction, he took advantage of this excitement to call Cao Pu and tell him that Tao Ting was now Liang Lu's mistress, and asked Cao Pu to take precautions.

Yu Chisheng unexpectedly ran into Cheng Gong in the café.

Cheng Gong bluntly asked Wei Chi Sheng if he wanted to work in his company. He can pay a higher annual salary than Cao Pu - Cao Pu pays 300,000 yuan, and he is willing to pay 350,000 yuan.

Wei Chisheng bluntly said to Cheng Gong:

"I have no interest in business, my only ambition in life is to become an official, but my current knowledge is not enough to make me move towards my set goals calmly, so I have to settle down...... Waiting for the right time......"

"Being an official?" Cheng Gong asked in some surprise.

"Yes, I want to be an official...... Although you offer a higher salary, it is more tempting for me. However, I am used to working for Cao Pu...... And it is most unjust to abandon them for the sake of money. ”

It is understandable that Wei Chisheng's impeccable answer has reached a level of perfection that cannot be faulted, and even the big businessman who secretly hated him in his heart praised Wei Chisheng's eloquence in the past three days.

Later, Cheng Gong called Wei Chisheng again, repeatedly expressed his attitude of hiring him with a high salary, and asked him to have dinner together tonight.

Wei Chisheng agreed to have dinner with Cheng Gong...... He knew that his ideals and ambitions and the means he wanted to indulge in the past had produced unexpected results, and he couldn't help but smile evilly and happily.

Wei Chisheng rushed to Cheng Gong's seaside villa half an hour in advance, which could show his respect and sincerity to Cheng Gong. He entered the door and saw Cheng Gong sitting on the sofa in the living room leisurely and comfortably.

Cheng Gong's hair had become sparse but extremely neat, apparently carefully dyed and dressed. He was extremely elaborate and elegant, always wearing a dark blue designer suit, with an expensive tie and high-end leather shoes, which showed his taste and status very much.

Cheng Gong's demeanor and demeanor of all these rich people did not make Wei Chisheng respect and respect him more, but felt that he was as ridiculous and funny as a clown.

Then, Cheng Gong introduced him to his wife. This woman was dressed in wealth and wealth, and the smell of copper exuded was worse than that of Cheng Gong. When she led Wei Chisheng to visit this villa, she reported to him the prices of interior decoration furniture and other items one after another.

These introductions not only did not arouse Wei Chisheng's jealousy and envy, but made him feel disgusted, and he felt that the house was full of copper and a little thief's smell.

He even thought that these expensive things were deceived or robbed by Cheng Gong from the meat of consumers or from other businessmen, and he was not ashamed but proud and shamelessly showed off to him.

"What is there to show off? Who doesn't know where his money comes from? ”

Just as he was thinking about it, several other guests, including Liang Lu and Tao Ting, also arrived.

Cheng Gong warmly invited the guests to sit down for dinner.

Not long after, I saw several beggars begging for food. Cheng Gong glared at the waiter next to him, and the waiter walked out, and after a while, he couldn't see the beggar.

At this time, Wei Chisheng asked, "Mr. Cheng, did you ask someone to drive the beggar away?"

"yes!" Cheng Gong replied, "When I saw those beggars, I was a little disappointed. Don't you think? ”

"How pitiful the beggar is, he has no sympathy at all." Wei Chisheng thought in his heart, "How can this person be so cruel? ”

Thinking, thinking, a teardrop couldn't help but slip down his face, and he hurriedly raised the glass in front of his eyes to cover it.

At this time, everyone toasted each other, and no one was aware of Wei Chisheng's excited and abnormal emotions at this time. Wei Chisheng couldn't help but feel secretly happy, and at the same time felt sad alone.

"That's the difference between the poor and the rich...... When the rich feast, they can take it from the poor poor; When the rich want to eat meat quietly, they don't even give a little soup to the poor. ”

"What kind of society is this, and how inhumane it is!"

Although Wei Chisheng is not used to seeing this kind of scene, he is very good at expressing himself appropriately, especially in the face of this group of noble guests, he behaves very appropriately.

Before you know it, the banquet is over. Wei Chisheng took his leave, and he stepped out of the gate of Cheng Gong's villa. At this moment, he almost felt like he was squeezed into the ranks of high society.

In the past, he had always felt that when he worked as a driver for Cao Pu, some people were superficially respectful to him, but in the depths of this politeness there was a contempt that hid contempt, which greatly hurt his self-esteem.

And now, he felt that he really felt that these rich people admired and admired him in their hearts, and he was unconsciously happy.

However, when he thought of Cheng Gong's expression when he was showing off in front of him, Yu Chisheng couldn't help but feel disgusted and disgusted.

"Cheng Gong is so rich, where does his money come from? Isn't it just opportunistic tricks! He thought, "He wants to hire me, but I don't want to." I fear that sooner or later, I will lose control of my emotions and speak out about my contempt for them. ”

However, according to Murong Lian's prior plan, he would often go in and out of such high-end social occasions to contact all kinds of celebrities or rich people, so that Cao Pu would not dare to dismiss him easily.

It seems that his goal is about to be accomplished.

Now, some people are paying attention to who wins and who loses in this battle for the talent of Wei Chisheng, is it Cao Pu or Cheng Gong?

What makes people even more concerned is that Cao Pu and Cheng Gong, two big businessmen, have formed a tug-of-war with Liang Lu respectively, Cao Pu uses money, and Cheng Gong uses women...... This went on for several years.

Cao Pu made his fortune by working hard - his journey from a small carpenter to a big businessman is unimaginable.

Although some people are jealous and resentful, no one dares to touch him.

Of course, Cheng Gong is different, most of his wealth is obtained by deception, and he can have today's status because of his deceptive tricks, and his vanity is extremely strong, so he is crazy to show off his wealth to others.

One morning, when Wei Chisheng was still lying in bed dreaming, he suddenly felt two soft little hands covering his eyes. He woke up suddenly.

When I looked up, it was Murong Lian. She also came to this villa.

It turned out that Cao Pu discussed with her to come to the seaside villa together. She brought Cao Jing in advance, and Cao Pu will come later after dealing with some things.

When Murong Lian took advantage of her son Cao Jing to go out to play, she wanted to enjoy the sweetness when she was alone with Yu Chisheng. It's just that this kind of tenderness and sweetness is too short-lived-because Cao Jing came in after playing for a while.

Cao Jing's body has not fully recovered, and he also recounted his emotions of missing Yu Chisheng.

Yu Chisheng was deeply moved, and his eyes were full of endless tears. He picked Cao Jing up and put him on his knee and kept kissing him on the cheek.

Seeing this kind of scene, Murong Lian was also very moved.

The next day, Cao Pu also came.

When Cao Pu also saw this kind of warm scene, his heart instantly petrified, mixed with a trace of anger and unhappiness...... Because he was not there, the atmosphere in the house was so harmonious and like a family was that it was a hurt and insult to him as the head of the family.

It's not really hurtful, it's extremely insulting.

Therefore, when Murong Lian praised Wei Chisheng to him, he thought indignantly: "I knew that he must have hooked up with her."

Murong Lian no longer wasted time and effort thinking about the reason why her husband was unhappy, but concentrated on thinking about how to spend this time happily with Wei Chisheng. She wanted to go shopping and eat at a tavern outside. No matter how her husband objected, he would not change her mind and original intention.

When Cao Pu accompanied Murong Lian shopping in desperation, when Murong Lian had just stepped into the first store, Cao Pu left her to meet her old friend. However, when Cao Pu returned, the expression on his face became more serious.

Because everyone was asking him, whether Wei Chisheng would stay in the Cao Group to receive an annual salary of 300,000 yuan, or go to the Cheng Group to accept an annual salary of 350,000 yuan? This once again deeply hurt his vanity.

Cheng Gong met Cao Pu on a social occasion...... However, Cheng Gong's attitude was extremely cold.

Truth be told, it's not hard to understand this approach. Because Cheng Gong is an invincible businessman in the eyes of most people, he is beastly, rude by nature, cunning, and despicable.

Cheng Gong and Cao Pu are both members of the Real Estate Association, Cheng Gong is the vice president, and Cao Pu is the president. Cheng Gong was more active and power-grabbing than Cao Pu, not only meddling in all the affairs of the real estate industry association, but also constantly uniting and lobbying other businessmen to deal with Cao Pu.

Cao Pu was very angry with Cheng Gong, but Cheng Gong didn't care, because he was used to being shameless. Even if someone exposed his lies on the spot, he would not feel a blush and heartbeat.

Although Cheng Gong doesn't care about face, in order to consolidate his position, he also needs to take some tough measures to suppress others' doubts about him. Some people were unhappy with him and often reported him, which also led to an investigation by government agencies.

This made Cheng Gong feel scared and frightened, so he wanted to find a backer, step up the dredging relationship, and personally went to the provincial capital to find some relevant leaders again and again, bringing with him many local specialties such as grapefruit, fruit, wine, tea, etc.

Cheng Gong expected that there would inevitably be a quarrel or even a fierce fight between himself and his former ally Cao Pu, who would inevitably speak out against him or fight him, but he didn't care about it.

What really scares Cheng Gong, though, is that Cao Pu may fight back and retaliate until his business perishes.

So, he thought of enlisting Liang Lu to deal with Cao Pu together.

It was for this reason that he introduced Tao Ting to Liang Lu as his mistress, and invited them to have a dinner with Yu Chisheng and others, which was to ask Yu Chisheng to convey a message to Cao Pu that he had a close relationship with Liang Lu.

Cheng Gong's thoughts, when Wei Chisheng talked about them in front of Murong Lian, he was seen through by Murong Lian at a glance. When she was wandering around the street with Wei Chisheng's arm on her shoulder, she explained all these inside stories to Yu Chisheng.

The two talked and laughed all the way without any scruples, and unconsciously came to a private room in a teahouse. They spent hours there in peace and glue...... The quietness and gentleness made them feel as if they had gone back to the past.
