misfortune
After Zhou Wei and Zhao Rui parted ways, they returned to the Marriott Hotel where they stayed.
Although this hotel is only a four-star hotel, it is already the most upscale hotel in a small city like East Lake.
When he returned to the room, his assistant Liu Lei was already waiting in the room. Seeing him coming in, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, that person was your classmate just now?"
Zhou Wei was so happy because he met Zhao Rui, drank two more glasses, was slightly drunk, lay down on the bed, and said with emotion: "Yeah, that's an iron buddy who lives in a dormitory and wears a pair of underpants. Ah! I didn't expect to meet here after being separated for nearly a year, what a surprise, a surprise."
After murmuring a few words, he suddenly remembered something and jumped up from the bed: "Oh, I made an appointment with Section Chief Lin for afternoon tea this afternoon, and I almost missed it."
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly washed his face, led Liu Lei, and walked outside.
Section Chief Lin is an official of the East Lake Municipal Construction Office, and he is an old acquaintance with Zhou Wei's father. It is because of this relationship that Zhou Wei knows that East Lake is planning to build a leisure plaza, and their company may also be able to Get a piece of this huge project.
Hurrying to the appointed teahouse, Zhou Wei and Liu Lei sat in a box by the window, waiting for Section Chief Lin to arrive.
However, waiting left and right, and the agreed time was almost more than half an hour, but Section Chief Lin still disappeared.
what happened
Zhou Wei frowned, a little impatient in his heart. He was young after all, and he hadn't reached the point where he could wait for a few hours and still be calm.
Just as he was about to call and ask, his cell phone rang suddenly, and he took it out to check the number. It was Chief Lin calling.
He quickly picked it up, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a warm smile: "Ah! Section Chief Lin, hello, hello. I have arrived at Fuyue Tea House now... waiting for you... ah? Are you coming? ... The child is sick? Does it matter? ... Okay, okay, go to the hospital quickly and leave us alone. It's the same when we see you in two days."
After speaking, I hung up the phone. .
"Chief Lin's child is sick? He's not coming?" Liu Lei looked at Zhou Wei's face and asked tentatively, "Then should we go to the hospital?"
Zhou Wei pondered for a while, and suddenly showed a sneer: "It's so cruel, even dare to curse his own child. He didn't tell me which hospital, how to visit? It's just dodging!"
"Ah? But he also provided the information about this business!" Liu Lei was a little surprised.
"Things always change quickly!" Zhou Wei sighed, frowning, thinking about what went wrong.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the waiter turned sideways to let a person in.
As soon as the stranger saw the two of them, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry to keep the two bosses waiting for so long."
Zhou Wei and Liu Lei looked at each other, and then Zhou Wei asked: "We don't know you at all. You probably have the wrong person."
The stranger was slightly taken aback, exited to look at the house number of the box, then came in again and said with a smile: "That's right, that's right, it's here, who is Zhou Weizhou's boss?"
"I am." There was a hint of surprise in Zhou Wei's eyes.
The man nodded, said to sit down like the master, and then sat down in a grandiose manner, made himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "I was entrusted by someone, specially I came to see you two, and at the same time, I wanted to pass on a message for others."
Zhou Wei looked at this person carefully, and found that although he looked gentle, but there was a stern look in his eyes, he didn't look like a kind person, so he said, "Okay, let's listen carefully."
The man stared at Zhou Wei and Liu Lei for a moment, and said: "We met by chance, and I was also entrusted by others. It took several layers to entrust me here. I don't know who started the matter. I am only responsible for bringing the word to you. I don’t know anything else, so don’t ask me. Let me ask first, are you here to do business at East Lake?”
Zhou Wei nodded.
"Can you not do this business?"
"Why?" Zhou Wei asked lightly.
"This is good for everyone. There are so many businesses in the world, how can we finish them? Businesses can be found everywhere, and you don't have to go to Donghu Lake to do it. It doesn't matter if you don't do one business, the important thing is that you can't lose the business. capital." The stranger said kindly.
"Are you referring to the Leisure Plaza? I don't know which uncle we blocked the way?"
"I really don't know, so don't ask. It's just that someone asked me to come out and say hello to you." The stranger got up and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. It is said that Boss Zhou is very popular in Dong'an, so why go all the way to this small city to compete with others for food? Please buy me some face, so I can give it to others answer."
After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Wei has helped his father manage the business for more than a year, but he has never encountered such a situation.
But a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He said coldly, "Doing business depends on one's own ability. If you want to compete, be fair and aboveboard. Don't play any useless tricks. Give in? Why should I give in?"
The man said sincerely: "Boss Zhou's words are a bit inappropriate. This is not letting others. I can only persuade one more thing, human life is at stake."
"What do you mean? Frighten me?"
The smile on the stranger's face suddenly disappeared, showing a fierce look, and said sharply: "Haven't you heard of the name of the Tiger Gang! Do you think I'm scaring you? You live in Room 715 of the Marriott! Don't If you think it’s a four-star hotel, nothing will happen to you!”
There was a dead silence in the room, so quiet that a needle could almost be heard on the ground.
In the end, Liu Lei laughed dryly and broke the suffocating silence: "Since we have reached this point, let's withdraw. Business is about the right time, place and people, and we can't force it. However, we still need a few days Time to take care of the little things at hand and say hello to friends."
"How many days?" The man tilted his head and looked sideways at Liu Lei.
Liu Lei looked at Zhou Wei, took a deep breath, and said, "Three days, give us three days first."
Hearing what he said, the man immediately put away his fierce look, and smiled again: "Then it's settled. Alright, I'm sorry to disturb you two."
After speaking, he turned and left.
After the man left, Zhou Wei looked at Liu Lei angrily and said, "Why did you agree to him like this? You are just an assistant! Who gave you such power? Do you know that it's a big deal? You can give in so easily!"
Liu Lei sighed. Although he is also a young man, he is older than Zhou Wei, and he has worked for several years, so he knows the pros and cons of it.
"Mr. Zhou, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. That person just now is definitely not a good person, and that Tiger Gang must have a lot of influence in East Lake. If we don't agree to that person's request, we may not even be able to leave this restaurant." out!"
As he said that, he pointed to a few burly men dangling outside the window and said, "They came here with that man just now, and they all have something hidden on them! That's no ordinary street gangster!"
Hearing this, Zhou Wei couldn't help but gasped, a little scared in his heart, and hurriedly followed Liu Lei and left the teahouse.
As soon as he left the teahouse, Liu Lei called and booked a ticket back to Dong'an, but Zhou Wei felt a little regretful and unwilling. He felt that it was too embarrassing for him to be scared back by a hooligan. What should I do if I can't even handle this small matter and encounter bigger troubles in the future? How will you manage the company in the future
After thinking about it for a while, he said to Liu Lei: "My dad seems to have business friends in East Lake, and there are still three days left for the ride. I'll look for it again and see if there is any other way to continue participating in the project."
Liu Lei was taken aback, and quickly stopped him: "I said three days is just a smoke screen! I booked the ticket for tonight, and we'll leave tonight! It's too dangerous to stay here. Mr. Zhou, please don't worry!" Don't go 'indiscriminately'!"
Zhou Wei didn't listen, and after making a call with his mobile phone, he took a taxi and left without Liu Lei following him. Liu Lei had no choice but to go back to the hotel first.
Liu Lei's room was on the seventh floor of the Marriott Hotel. The balcony of the room happened to face the road, and he could clearly notice the movement of people in front of the hotel gate.
As soon as he returned to the hotel, he walked up and down the room in fear, and stood on the balcony from time to time, hoping that Zhou Wei would come back soon.
Because, in case something happened to Zhou Wei, his responsibility would be too great!
After spending an hour in anxiety, he finally saw the BMW car they had rented and drove into the parking lot in front of the hotel. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Wei got out of the car without any damage.
Liu Lei let out a sigh of relief immediately, and let go of his heart that had been hanging in midair.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A few men with fierce faces, tall stature and sunglasses suddenly rushed out of a white van in the parking lot and punched Zhou Wei on the back of the head!
This punch was so powerful that Zhou Wei fell to the ground in one fell swoop, unable to get up for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, those big men took out the ropes they had prepared in advance, bundled Zhou Wei up, carried them into the van, and left without a trace.
