In Xiao Zheng's impression, Shang Yao was not only irritable during that idiot period. She has always been calm and collected. Xiao Zheng had never seen her get uncontrollably angry when talking to him on the phone.
Obviously, the merchant's eldest lady was really angry this time.
"What's the bad news?" Xiao Zheng was quite calm. After years of hard work, although he could not reach the state of stillness, he could barely maintain his calm state when faced with problems.
"Linghu Zhu and I have been to several relevant departments in the past few days. Damn it, each one is more difficult to deal with, and each one is more hostile than the last!" Shang Yao was obviously really crazy. He said in anger. "Since when did Sijiucheng suddenly change? Did I dig their ancestral graves or molest their entire family? They all have a grudge against me, Shang Yao, right?"
Xiao Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't get excited yet. If anything happens, let's discuss it slowly."
Xiao Zheng estimated that Shang Yao must have lost a lot of face with Linghu Zhu this time. You know, giving Shang Yao a 30% profit was because Linghuzhu was doing it because of his connections with the Yan family. At present, even some relevant departments cannot handle it. How could she have the nerve to take this money
It would be difficult for Shang Yao to explode in front of Linghu Zhu. This time, it all came out in front of Xiao Zheng.
"What's there to discuss? I suspect there must be someone behind the scenes!" Shang Yao shouted in a deep voice.
Xiao Zheng had no choice but to persuade Shang Yao to meet him at Longfeng Tower. Then, he called Yu Fei again. Ask him to go there with you.
Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao only had a partial understanding of official matters. There are too many doors inside, and if you are not sure, you may offend Tongtian's boss. Then the gain outweighs the loss.
With Minister Jin's backing, Yu Fei is now a popular fried chicken in Sijiu City. The future is bright. The contacts he has accumulated over the past few years can be of help even if they cannot be guaranteed. It will definitely help analyze the mystery inside.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng got in the car and went straight to Longfeng Tower.
Shang Yao was probably really anxious. He didn't even enter the door, so he stood guard at the door to block Xiao Zheng.
"Miss Shang, don't get too angry. It's not like you don't know the work style of the relevant departments. It's like a snail cart, so slow that it makes people tired of the world." Xiao Zheng smiled and said a few words of relief. "Come on, let's go have a cup of tea first and calm down the fire."
Shang Yao gave Xiao Zheng some advice, and his anger subsided a lot. The reason why she was so angry was that she was embarrassed in front of Linghu Zhu. On the other hand, she is also the darling of the Yan family. Even if he is an official representative, who will not coax her and accommodate her? Where have you ever experienced such grievance
I couldn't figure it out for a while, and naturally an evil fire rushed into my heart, which I couldn't suppress.
This time Xiao Zhengzheng persuaded her, and the fire was extinguished. He groaned and said, "Don't let my aunt get a hold of them. Then they'll all get cramped and skinned!"
Xiao Zheng couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Miss Shang, it's almost over. Let's discuss the business."
Shang Yao drank a cup of tea, exhaled heavily and said: "It's not a big deal. It's just that the leaders of several departments refused to review the documents we submitted. I have some connections, but they are more stubborn than me. I have to Follow the rules and regulations and review everything. Isn’t this just looking for trouble?”
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "This is Miss Shang, you are trusting me. I follow the rules and regulations, and I am also responsible for my work. There is no need for you to be so angry, right?"
"You don't understand." Shang Yao shook his head. "Linghuzhu and I have been waiting for those procedures for nearly a month. At the beginning, we called and said they would get it done as soon as possible. But after waiting for a month, not only did not a single call come. Even when I called, no one answered. This Didn’t you deliberately make things difficult for us? I was so angry that I left some relationships. But after the relationship ended, the other party became even more stubborn."
Obviously, the other party has received certain instructions and has greater backing.
"A group of chief and deputy department leaders, such as sesame and mung bean officials, are like this. If you have to leave a department-level senior official, I have to kneel down and beg for help?" Shang Yao gritted his teeth.
There is nothing wrong with what Shang Yao said. As a municipality directly under the Central Government, Sijiucheng is at the ministerial administrative level. Just a police station chief is also a deputy division level official. As the saying goes, if you don't go to Beijing, you won't know the official status. There are so many provincial and municipal offices in Beijing in the 49 cities. Not counting the deep residences of various State Council ministries and commissions.
As the joke goes, if you stand on the streets of Sijiu City and drop a brick, you can knock down a department-level cadre.
There is an element of ridicule, but it also reflects that there are so many officials in the Forty-Nine Cities, and their complexity is astonishing.
During the conversation, Yu Fei also hurried over.
"Mr. Xiao." Yu Fei stepped forward to shake hands warmly. Seeing that Shang Yao was there, he was even more polite.
Look, this is the attitude of a normal official when meeting Shang Yao. After all, the Yan family has lush branches and has a political background. Shang Jingtian was even able to hide in Yuchi's house to avoid the limelight.
How could a division-level official dare to offend such a huge family
Obviously, there must be someone behind it.
Yu Fei patiently listened to Shang Yao's explanation, then walked aside and made a few calls. In just five minutes, I basically figured out the ins and outs. With a solemn look on his face, he said: "Mr. Xiao, this incident is not easy to handle."
"Let's talk about it." Xiao Zheng was drinking tea, still calm.
"The news I received is that the person behind this incident is the Minister of Commerce. As for further details, I have to spend some time investigating." Yu Fei explained.
Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said, "That's enough."
Yu Fei, a department-level cadre, was already stepping on a tightrope when he reached out to the Minister of Commerce. That is to say, he has a close personal relationship with Xiao Zheng, plus Minister Jin's relationship. Otherwise, the best he can do is find clues to the higher level of the leadership concerned. Even the Minister of Commerce will not touch it.
What Yu Fei said next was just a test. If Xiao Zheng didn't stop him, he would definitely continue to investigate. But whether he can find valuable clues is beyond his control.
Of course, if Xiao Zheng really wants to force Yu Fei to continue the investigation. Then in the days to come, Yu Fei's loyalty to Xiao Zheng will definitely be greatly reduced.
This is human connection. I owe you a favor, and I will definitely try my best to repay you and do things for you if I receive favor from you. But if it touches my interests repeatedly, it may even endanger my safety. No one’s foundation was blown by the strong wind. I can't think of you and put my own bright future into it.
Xiao Zheng called stop just right, making Yu Fei even more grateful. My tense heart relaxed. There was some guilt in my heart.
This is what Lao Lin mentioned about controlling people during his Mingzhu period. Xiao Zheng can be said to be extremely proficient in playing.
