Chapter 149 Good Brothers, Loyalty
Mayor Zhao smiled: "Everyone, don't be nervous, sit down, all of you."
Secretary Wu explained: "Mayor Zhao heard from the comrades in the office that Mr. Lu was holding a meeting here, so he immediately put down his work and came to listen to everyone's discussion. Please continue."
The secretary pushed over a chair, and Mayor Zhao sat next to Lu Chengwen.
Mayor Zhao sighed: "Chengwen, actually, I thought of this plan before."
He shook his head: "When I thought of this plan, I was also excited. But...it was just a thought. Our finances are too tight. Unless the four big families are all like you, able to make such selfless contributions to Xue City, otherwise, relying only on the Great Saint Group, doing this is very dangerous."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "Money...in the end, it's all about money."
"Of course, even a clever wife can't cook a meal without rice! Chengwen, I've changed my opinion of you a lot recently. I used to think you were a businessman, always putting profit first. But today, the Lu Chengwen I see is a remarkable person who puts the people at heart, who puts the construction of his hometown, the future, the national economy, and people's livelihood at heart."
Mayor Zhao sighed: "If you want to push this project forward like this, I will find a way, even if I have to squeeze it out, I will squeeze out 8 billion yuan for you! Of course, that would be a drop in the bucket. But if you abandon this plan and push it forward according to the original plan, I understand. And personally, I support you taking a more cautious approach."
Lu Chengwen's eyes were sharp.
He slowly stood up, and everyone was silent, waiting for Lu Chengwen to make the final decision.
"First, I want to make it clear! The disagreement between the chief engineer and General Manager Li is professional, not a personal grudge."
"Moreover, both of their approaches and ideas have their own correct aspects and also their own wrong aspects. My decision next is not about choosing the right path, nor is it about opposing the other party's opinion! It's just a choice, a choice of one path out of two."
Everyone was nervous.
Li Meiqin clenched her fist, encouraging herself in her heart: Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive, Mr. Lu! Don't be impulsive!
Lu Chengwen said: "Start making the overall plan immediately, and immediately recruit workers nationwide. The engineering team must be of high quality and high caliber. Don't bring in any makeshift teams just because you're in a hurry."
Li Meiqin felt as if all her strength had been drained, she sat down on the chair in despair, and the light in her eyes turned into a dull disappointment.
Lu Chengwen continued: "Do a good job of internal preparations, temporary dormitories needed for employees, food supplies, temporary toilets, and living facilities should start construction immediately."
The chief engineer was excited: "Mr. Lu is wise! I am honored to work under Mr. Lu!"
Lu Chengwen asked: "What needs to be done first?"
"You have already made excellent arrangements." The chief engineer said: "Engineering department one is responsible for recruitment, personnel allocation, and the allocation of tools, equipment, and raw materials for each construction team;"
"Engineering department two immediately contacts all building material suppliers in Beiguo, and fully purchases building materials, sand, cement, steel bars, hollow bricks, composite bricks, alloy building materials...all supplies must be secured."
"Engineering department three immediately starts work, first paving several major roads to facilitate the entry of transportation and construction vehicles into various construction sites..."
Li Meiqin stood up in a daze, about to cry.
She didn't understand, why?
It would be a blessing if this project didn't lose money, now they are going to start full-scale construction, is he crazy?
This is not the kind of decision and thinking a corporate leader should have.
What is Mr. Lu thinking?
Mayor Zhao also immediately stated: "Tell all the comrades in the office! The Great Saint Group, the slum project is designated as our city's S-level key priority project! Whoever hinders the Great Saint Group on this project, I will take off his hat!"
Secretary Wu quickly said: "Yes, I will immediately have the comrades in the office draft documents and issue them today."
"Also! Anyone who has crooked ideas, wants to make a fortune from this project, wants to extort money from the various documents, permits, etc., and wants to enrich themselves through corruption, will be severely punished! No mercy will be shown!"
"Yes!"
Lu Chengwen shook hands with Mayor Zhao.
"Chengwen, you can now work on a grand scale! You, you have burned yourself to illuminate others. You are a great man! Please accept my bow!"
"Oh, oh, oh, Mayor Zhao, you're exaggerating, I'm just a humble people's hero who has put personal interests aside and made selfless contributions for the benefit of the people. You don't need to praise me so much!"
"Hmm!" Mayor Zhao held Lu Chengwen's hand: "You're too modest! I can arrange for you to be interviewed, to explain the details of this project, and to showcase your kind, upright, and courageous entrepreneurial image!"
Mayor Zhao was excited.
If this project got on the fast track...the situation for the local government would be like heaven helping!
"Look at Mr. Lu! What a righteous person! He is the most upright, purest, most selfless, most self-disciplined, excellent, great, and conscientious entrepreneur I have ever met! Let's give Mr. Lu a round of applause!"
Lu Chengwen smiled, and under the applause of the crowd, he modestly waved his hands repeatedly: "You're too kind, you're all too kind."
The more modest Lu Chengwen was, the more enthusiastic the applause was.
At this moment, Fatty Chen pushed open the door: "Chengwen! You're really here! Haha! Come in, come in, everyone come in!"
Everyone was stunned.
Fatty Chen said: "Line up, line up!"
Behind him, ten beautiful women entered in a line, each one heavily made up, sexy, and enchanting.
Each one wore high heels and stockings, and they were all showing their cleavage, with wandering eyes.
They stood in a row, lifting their skirts to show off their legs, and said in unison in a sweet voice: "Mr. Lu, hello!"
Lu Chengwen's face turned green.
"Fatty Chen, what are you doing?! This is my company!"
Fatty Chen laughed: "Come on, you can't fool me. If others don't know, I do! Of these ten, I carefully selected, the best of the best! Absolutely to your taste! Brother, you understand me, right?"
Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth and reminded him in a low voice: "Right now, I am the most upright, purest, most selfless, most self-disciplined, excellent, great..."
"You can fool those little characters with that crap, but why are you pretending with me? This is a little token of my affection, as long as you help me get my sister, this kind of scene, brother, I'll arrange it for you every day!"
Lu Chengwen smiled awkwardly at Mayor Zhao: "Just kidding, my brother, he just likes to play around with me."
Mayor Zhao was also very embarrassed: "Oh, yes, yes, really...cough, humor, haha, humor."
Fatty Chen said: "Sister Li from the Century Club when she heard you were looking for girls, she was so excited. She said all the girls there miss you, they miss you so much they cry! She also said you're a heartless person, so many girls miss you so much, that they've gotten lovesick. You really need to go back and take a look sometime! Let the people below handle the work! Why should you be so busy? You don't have to do anything today, take them, let's go now!"
Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth: "Are you an idiot? Mayor Zhao is right here!"
"Huh?"
Fatty Chen looked left and right, Mayor Zhao squeezed out a smile: "You're Chen Moqun, right?"
"Oh! Mayor Zhao!"
Chen Moqun was immediately stunned, his brain stopped working.
He was the second-generation heir of the Chen family, and everyone knew that his relationship with Lu Chengwen was very close.
Once, when he came to the company, Fatty Chen had an argument with a clueless deputy manager, and Chen Moqun beat the deputy manager up in the Great Saint Group.
As a result, Lu Chengwen stepped in and fired the deputy manager.
This incident had a huge impact.
First, it chilled the hearts of many people because Lu Chengwen didn't treat his subordinates like people. Second, Fatty Chen became famous, and no one dared to mess with him in the Great Saint Group.
Now, the consequences were manifesting.
He swaggered into the conference room with ten beautiful women, and no one dared to stop him.
Chen Moqun took the initiative to shake Mayor Zhao's hand: "Sorry, Mayor Zhao, I didn't know you were discussing work."
Mayor Zhao retracted his hand, feeling like shaking hands with him was a loss of dignity.
But Chen Moqun, unfortunately, held on tight: "I really didn't know! If I had known, I wouldn't have done this! Lu Chengwen is the same, you know he messed with my sister! For years! He doesn't admit it after messing with her, now he wants to ditch her! All my sister's temper is taken out on me. You tell me, who am I provoking? I recently got a girl, a really good one! Not this kind of girl, it's that kind, a really pure type, I'm planning to marry her. But my sister doesn't agree, so I have to make Lu Chengwen mess with my sister again, no, I mean, get my sister. He messes with my sister, my sister's mood will be good, and then I can mess with that..."
Mayor Zhao's face was almost as black as an African.
Lu Chengwen pushed Fatty Chen away and pointed at his nose: "Shut up!"
Mayor Zhao said with a stern face: "Chengwen, the project is in your hands, I have another meeting, and I have to go back."
Fatty Chen was still greeting him: "Take your time, Mayor, take your time! Do you want to take five girls back?"
Lu Chengwen pulled Fatty Chen over: "Are you crazy?! You bring these women to my company, don't you care about the impact?"
"Ah? You never cared about the impact before!"
Lu Chengwen was stunned, thinking to himself, I'm really a sinner.
"Fatty Chen! I'm telling you, don't come to my company unless it's necessary! And, if you come, why do you bring a bunch of women? I, Lu Chengwen, am now a righteous gentleman, a conscientious entrepreneur, someone who can appear on television, attend high-end events, and a member of the aristocracy. Besides, these girls..."
Lu Chengwen looked back: "Huh? This one's not bad! What's the little sister's name?"
"Xueli."
"Ah, Xueli!" Lu Chengwen smiled, holding Xueli's hand: "Oh, your little hands are so smooth..."
He suddenly let go, turned his head, and shouted at Fatty Chen: "Why did I lose focus? It's all because of you, Fatty Chen, take them away, take them all away! It's people like you who lead me, a righteous man, astray!"
Fatty Chen was disappointed because his flattery failed: "Go, go, go, all of you, go."
The girls knew that these two rich second-generation sons were fighting, and with their status, they had to hold back even their farts.
They could only be dismissed obediently.
Lu Chengwen pulled Fatty Chen over: "Push Xueli to me tonight."
Fatty Chen was puzzled: "Aren't you...very righteous..."
"Am I working for free?!"
Fatty Chen laughed: "Then what about my sister..."
"Where is she now?"
"At your house."
Lu Chengwen widened his eyes: "At my house?!"
