Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "If you knew him, Mr. Liu, would you be generous enough to pay him back?"
Liu Kai was stifled and didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Qiao Zhenhua and saw a helpless look in his eyes. He said, "Secretary Fang, I have brought the money. How about you order some?"
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Boss Liu, I think you are wrong. You don't owe me money, but you owe money to Sister Zhang. As for the apology, you should apologize to her."
Liu Kai knew the seriousness of the matter. Just now, Xiang Xin led a team of police officers and rushed directly into the factory. Huangmao Bucktooth and others had not left yet and were sitting in their office smoking and chatting, so they were caught red-handed.
If he is charged with organizing a gang, he can be held criminally responsible.
Money is important, but freedom is more important. Liu Kai felt extremely regretful. If he were given another chance, he would definitely squeeze out the 200,000 yuan and appease Zhang Cuihua.
Zhang Cuihua took a bag from the man, which was filled with brand new banknotes that had just been taken out of the bank. Liu Kai had a smile on his face, but he felt very sad inside because he was going to use the money to make back his investment at the gambling table.
Fang Zhicheng winked at Lou Yao and asked her to help Zhang Cuihua count the money. Then he sighed and said to Liu Kai, "Boss Liu, as far as I know, you not only took the money owed to Zhang's family in the name of investment, but also the money of others. I think you still have to pay it back."
Liu Kai's face turned ugly when he heard Fang Zhicheng say that. He smiled bitterly and said, "I only paid back Zhang...her...money for Secretary Fang's sake. As for the other people's money, it was all invested in the machine. Where would I have the money?"
Fang Zhicheng said calmly: "Did you really invest in the machine? If so, please provide the account details of the investment in the machine."
Investing in equipment was just a gimmick that Liu Kai came up with. The factory did purchase new equipment, but it was a second-hand assembly line from someone else, which was not worth much. The money of those people in the factory was basically squandered by Liu Kai, who took money from Peter to pay Paul.
Liu Kai now put his bet on the card table. If he could win big, all his problems would be solved. If he was still unlucky, Liu Kai was going to take some money and go out to hide from the limelight.
Now Fang Zhicheng asked Liu Kai to change his mind in advance. According to the current trend, he had no choice but to escape. Because Zhang Cuihua had already set a precedent, other factory employees also came to ask for money. How could he afford to pay it back
Seeing that Liu Kai didn't say much, Fang Zhicheng knew what he was planning, and said in a deep voice: "From today on, the Public Security Bureau will arrange a person to follow you regularly until you return the money to the creditors, otherwise, you can't leave Hanzhou."
When Liu Kai heard this, he was surprised and panicked. He said in a deep voice: "Secretary Fang, you don't have this power, right? Do you still control my life and freedom? I'm an entrepreneur and I travel all over the country frequently!"
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Freedom? For someone like you who is heavily in debt, there is no need to talk about human rights. If you just walk away, how many families will be implicated?"
People like Liu Kai are extremely evil. They raised money from ordinary people in the name of investment and high returns. After getting the money, they squandered it wantonly and then walked away. For a family like Zhang Cuihua, the money of one or two hundred thousand yuan was earned through hard work and sweat. It was not easy.
Fang Zhicheng hated liars like Liu Kai who got something for nothing from the bottom of his heart!
Liu Kai moved his mouth, but his throat was dry and he couldn't speak. Qiao Zhenhua came over, sighed, and whispered, "Boss Liu, let's go. From today on, my brothers and I will take good care of you. Don't worry. Also, I hope you can tell us all the information about that gambling circle. In a sense, that was the key factor that caused you to this point. If you actively cooperate with our work and destroy this underground gambling circle, it will actually be a disguised revenge for you."
At this moment, Liu Kai felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was stunned and speechless.
The past ten or so hours seemed like a dream. Am I finished
Qiao Zhenhua asked Liu Kai to get in the car, glanced at Lou Yao, and said with a smile: "Little Lou, I didn't expect you to be here."
Lou Yao smiled slightly and said, "I got involved in this matter because of Secretary Fang's arrangement."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at Lou Yao and thought to himself that this woman was good at shifting the blame. It was clearly she who made him fall into this pit, and now she pushed it all onto him in just a few words.
Fang Zhicheng would not bother with Lou Yao. He gave Xiang Xin a wink, and the two of them got into Fang Zhicheng's Toyota.
Xiang Xin took out a cigarette and handed it to Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng did not refuse, but put it in his mouth, took a puff, and said, "Do you know what I want to talk to you about?"
Xiang Xin nodded and said, "It's not easy to defeat Sun Liuan."
Fang Zhicheng frowned and said, "What's so difficult about it?"
Xiang Xin sighed and said, "The main reason is that Sun Liuan has almost become a typical figure in Xiaguang's economic development in the past two years. Moreover, over the years, he has almost wiped out all the problems he caused when he started his business, so there is no handle left."
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "It's easy to find evidence. Since he has a reputation for forming cliques and abusing his power for personal gain, he must have done something out of line. If we investigate patiently, we will definitely find something."
Xiang Xin knew that Fang Zhicheng had made up his mind, and said, "I'm afraid this will make District Chief Mo unhappy."
Fang Zhicheng knew what Xiang Xin meant. This Sun Liuan was probably Mo Jin's confidant. He touched his chin and said, "We should do things with a clear conscience. Old Mo, although he has cooperated with me quite well in the past two years, he still has his own ideas in his heart. I can't trust him completely. Xiaguang District is no longer the era of Deng Shaoqun, let alone the era of Ma Zhendong. Each era has its own pursuits and standards. In addition, this is to pave the way for you."
Xiang Xin was obviously shocked when he heard the last sentence, and said, "Secretary Fang, you think very far."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at Xiang Xin and said, "I won't leave you a mess, but I also hope you'll be mentally prepared."
Xiang Xin knew what Fang Zhicheng meant. Generally, the successor would deal with many troubles left behind by the previous incumbent, but Fang Zhicheng had already helped Xiang Xin deal with some worries in advance. If Fang Zhicheng left Xiaguang, then Xiang Xin would first have to face Mo Jin, a powerful enemy.
Fang Zhicheng had already taken a step ahead to clear the way for Xiang Xin. He secretly sighed, and Xiang Xin seemed to have just realized that he still lacked a little political acumen.
In addition, after fighting the tiger, Fang Zhicheng now also intends to swat the flies in the sunset.
Chapter 0800: Do more practical things and less conspiracy
After smoking two cigarettes, the matter was explained. Fang Zhicheng knew Xiang Xin very well. He should be able to understand his good intentions after his almost direct reminder today. He will definitely put some thought into the matter of Sun Liuan, the Party Secretary of Zhaoqiao Town.
Xiang Xin flipped his wrist and said with a smile: "Boss, everything has been done, and it's noon, why don't we have lunch together."
Just now, Zhang Cuihua sincerely invited several people to stay for lunch, but Fang Zhicheng did not agree at that time. Although he helped her get back 200,000 yuan, her family situation was special, and he felt a little reluctant to have dinner at her house.
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Just be casual, I still have work to do in the afternoon."
Xiang Xin smiled and said, "Working lunch. Who in the entire Xiaguang District dares to eat and drink at noon? It's usually a working lunch, and it's as simple as possible, otherwise you will be held accountable."
After that, Xiang Xin called Qiao Zhenhua and asked him to arrange lunch. Qiao Zhenhua knew what was going on and said with a smile, "It has already been arranged. It's at the Shanyuan Restaurant in town. The place is not particularly big, but the food is good."
Xiang Xin nodded and said, "Call Lou Yao and Zhang Cuihua as well. It will be more lively with more people."
