Chapter 423 I have to work for the leader again
A Vice President followed behind Lu Chengwen: "Boss Lu, brilliant!"
Jiang Shihan was also very excited: "So cool, I totally didn't expect it!"
"Now these media outlets look stupid, right?" The Vice President said excitedly: "No explanation! Why explain shit to them? Touch the thigh, deliberately let them know. Hey! I'm impressed, how did Boss Lu come up with this idea?"
Another VP said: "It's simply a domineering announcement! I, Lu Chengwen, am back. Those previous false reports, I simply have no time to read, nor do I disdain to respond. I'll just keep touching thighs, making big money... Silence is louder than words!"
"All the rumors instantly shattered, Boss Lu!"
"Leaving them with a domineering, unrestrained back view, only the words 'I'm back', so damn cool! Dasheng Group is just that awesome!"
The Publicity Director was very embarrassed. Her thigh was touched; normally, this would be considered workplace harassment.
But if it was Lu Chengwen, it was like being favored by the emperor. Maybe, hehe.
The Publicity Director seized the opportunity, sticking closely beside Lu Chengwen, cheeks flushed red, occasionally stealing glances at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen looked straight ahead: "Is the car ready?"
Jiang Shihan was very excited: "Ready."
Lu Chengwen walked to his back door and turned around: "Why are you all still following me? Work!"
"Yes!"
Everyone scattered.
Got in the car.
Jiang Shihan was still very excited: "Boss Lu, how did you think of it? Your appearance just now was exactly like Iron Man in the movies, haha, unrestrained, roguish, four words settled everything!"
Lu Chengwen pulled her into his arms: "I really didn't notice the microphone switch, just touched the thigh, then felt a bit embarrassed, didn't know how to tell the media, so I got up and left."
"Ah? Like that?"
"Otherwise?"
"Oh. Then... that director..."
"I was joking. Just let her work properly."
"Yes."
...
Huo Wendong sat in the large living room, watching the news of the press conference.
Lu Chengwen spread his hands unrestrainedly, confidently saying: "I'm back."
Then smiled slightly, got up and left, decisively.
Huo Wendong spread one hand: "That's it? That works too?"
Bang Daomang said: "The news has spread everywhere. Dasheng Group's stock price is rebounding, and the momentum is strong. The entire financial street is celebrating; Lu Chengwen arguably saved their lives. Those who haven't jumped off buildings yet can wait a bit longer."
Huo Wendong laughed: "This kid, he just knows how to pull this shit! What's the big deal? Others don't know, but don't I know?"
"The key is that others don't know! Him showing off like this, most people will think Lu Chengwen is back at full health, nothing happened, still lustful, still greedy... nothing delayed."
"Those small businesses counting on Dasheng Group to make money only gain confidence when they see Lu Chengwen."
Huo Wendong said: "Help me make an appointment with him. The drug effect seems to have worn off. These past few days, I've been feeling a bit lacking again... Ask him if he has any stock left."
"Already asked. Said Lu Chengwen's schedule for the whole day is full, can't squeeze it in. He's been missing for so long, it's conceivable he's definitely busy as hell today."
Huo Wendong sighed: "Just a bit short, just that little bit! If he hadn't appeared for another three days, I would have definitely crushed Dasheng Group, acquired them all!"
Bang Daomang also stamped his foot: "It's all that damn woman Leng Qingqiu! Without her, forget Dasheng Group, those three families would have to bring gifts to your door begging you for a way out."
Huo Wendong shook his head: "Lu Chengwen, Lu Chengwen, Lu Chengwen... damn it, shaky, but somehow can't be killed, really damn..."
"We've taken quite a bit of money back and forth, shouldn't we ask Long Aotian?"
"Right! Find him! Damn Xu Xuejiao is actually helping too, whose side is she on? Tried to connect with her, take advantage of Lu Chengwen's disappearance to take down Dasheng together, she damn well pushed back left and right... I really suspect she's just living with Lu Chengwen, playing us and Long Aotian."
"We also need to ask Long Aotian about this matter. He proposed this plan, Xu Xuejiao is also his person. Now that tens of billions have been taken, she hasn't done a single thing. Isn't this playing people?"
Huo Wendong stood up abruptly: "Find Long Aotian!"
...
Municipal Building.
As soon as Lu Chengwen's team entered, Jiang Shihan received a call. After a couple of "uh-huhs," she whispered to Lu Chengwen: "Mayor Zhao wants to see you, in his office."
Led by Secretary Wu, Lu Chengwen arrived at Mayor Zhao's office.
Mayor Zhao was very enthusiastic, stood up, and shook hands with Lu Chengwen: "Chengwen, where have you been these days?"
"Hey, don't mention it, it's a long story."
"Nothing happened, right?"
Lu Chengwen knew Mayor Zhao's biggest concern was definitely not his health, but the Chengwen District project.
Mayor Zhao had absolutely gained prestige in his official career thanks to the Chengwen District project.
Originally a dilapidated shantytown project, just filling the holes and building the houses owed to the common people would have been cause for thanks.
But with Lu Chengwen's efforts, the four major families all got involved.
Not to mention the incredibly exciting new business district plan, even skyscrapers, land reclamation projects, seaside resorts, coastal terminals... magnificent plans previously unimaginable were about to be rolled out.
The shantytown would not only become Chengwen District but even become Xuecheng's newest center for population, economy, politics, tourism, culture...
Especially the land reclamation project. If the gap was really opened and a new terminal added, the annual transport of millions of tons of goods wouldn't need to take a huge detour. Just the cost saved on transportation alone was enough to make people extremely excited.
Each of these projects was a luxurious configuration with merit for the present and benefits for millennia.
Take the terminal project for example. What was saved from the land reclamation project wasn't freighter fuel money, it was cost!
Lower costs mean competitiveness, competitiveness means an active market, an active market means... money blows in like the wind, right?
But! The initial investment for each item was incredibly huge!
So large that ordinary people couldn't afford it at all. Counting on ten or eight tycoons to do it, don't even think about it.
Only people like Lu Chengwen and Huo Wendong could afford to play.
And Mayor Zhao didn't admire Lu Chengwen so much that he was indispensable, but rather he really disliked Huo Wendong.
Huo Wendong demanded too much.
Lu Chengwen was very reliable. His subordinates were troublesome, but Lu Chengwen had been surprisingly easy to talk to recently.
Sometimes when his subordinates really couldn't squeeze out any oil, and mentioned it to Lu Chengwen with a few nice words, he would wave his hand grandly and donate!
Elementary school, donated!
Middle school, also donated!
Junior high, donated together!
Nursing home, donated!
Park, donated!
Also things like bus stops, the municipal government building, donated!
Later, even Mayor Zhao himself felt embarrassed.
Felt like he was shearing one sheep to death, it wasn't right.
Therefore, Lu Chengwen couldn't have anything happen to him. If something happened, this whole big mess would be hard to handle.
Leng Qingqiu hadn't married in after all. Supporting for a while was fine, but supporting long-term, from legal, contractual... various angles, wasn't proper or justifiable.
Being able to hold on for so long already made Mayor Zhao look at her with new eyes.
Lu Chengwen smiled calmly at this moment: "What could happen to me? Just went playing in the mountains, ended up falling, had no choice but to stay in the mountains for over half a month."
Mayor Zhao sighed in relief: "Chengwen ah, in the future, you must go to safe places, at least places with signal! Such a big mess here, as long as you're here, even if you do nothing, just responsible for breathing and chasing girls, it's fine. You disappeared, and everyone below panicked."
"Didn't I come back? What's the theme of today's meeting? What do you need me to do?"
Mayor Zhao was very happy.
Truly Chengwen, sensible!
Cut straight to the chase, asking what he could do.
"You ah, always give me difficult problems."
Mayor Zhao's rhetoric was advanced. Seemingly a very close attitude, blaming like an old friend, but actually pointing out from the start, you caused the trouble, you have to take responsibility.
"You spent half a month looking at beautiful scenery in the mountains, I lost a big handful of hair here. Those dozens of investors started making trouble again. The project sequence is wrong, the construction of several road sections was delayed. Once they stopped, the following transport teams couldn't keep up, delaying the schedule of several subsequent construction sites."
"This formed a chain reaction. The east complained about the west, the west complained about the south... all parties' schedules began to stagnate."
"Are there construction drawings?"
Lu Chengwen only glanced: "Which company is responsible for this section of road? It should have been completed half a month ago!"
"Du Hui's Chaofan Group." Secretary Wu said: "Their funds ran into problems. The engineers and construction captains led people to protest. He couldn't pay salaries. Those people looted the material warehouse, then all ran off. Now Du Hui can't be contacted either."
Lu Chengwen said: "Delayed by half a month?!"
"President Leng reacted quickly. Our side also gave special approval. She directly pulled out the team originally building villas here. This section of road is almost repaired now. However, many accounts started getting messy."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "That's for sure. The material warehouse was looted, didn't you manage it?"
"Ai, caught a few people, all accomplices. Frankly, they just followed the chaos, didn't get any benefit and still have to go to jail. The main culprits all vanished without a trace."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "What else? Tell me all at once, I'll help you sort them out."
Mayor Zhao laughed heartily: "There are nine more problems. Secretary Wu, you explain the details to Chengwen."
Lu Chengwen looked at Mayor Zhao: "Nine... nine?"
Mayor Zhao patted his shoulder: "Leng Qingqiu handled many for you already, just be content. But don't say, not just others, even I am the same, hehe, seeing you standing here safe and sound, my heart feels grounded."
Lu Chengwen thought, just keep putting a high hat on me (flattering me). This is giving me a few nice words to send me onto the battlefield to offend people.
Well, to wear the crown, one must have a head, and also have a crown.
The door to the conference room opened, and Mayor Zhao walked in first.
Lu Chengwen stood behind, feeling as soon as the door opened, it was as if there were over ten thousand flies inside, buzzing into chaos.
Mayor Zhao walked in: "Everyone please quiet down, Boss Lu is also attending the meeting today."
Lu Chengwen walked in smiling, followed by Jiang Shihan, Li Meiqin, and others.
Lu Chengwen walked towards his seat. People he passed stood up one after another to shake his hand and exchange greetings.
Lu Chengwen glanced at the already seated Leng Qingqiu; the two nodded at each other.
At this moment, a young man stood up: "Boss Lu, is there an end to this? It's useless even if you're here, we've suffered huge losses recently! Don't think you can fool us with just the four words 'I'm back'. We are not ignorant common people! Our losses, how will you compensate!?"
Lu Chengwen looked at him: "I'll compensate your ancestors!"
The man's eyes widened, barely able to believe what he had heard.
