The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 137: Everyone comes to beg for money, and the kidney-cutting female demon is about to appear

The newly appointed official of Sijiu City and several of his colleagues and friends from the same faction gathered together in a relatively private and harmonious atmosphere, enjoying tea and chatting leisurely. The topic naturally involved the currently popular Yongchang Grain Store. Yongchang Grain Store was in full swing in the large-scale construction of the staff dormitory area. With the huge amount of money coming in, the whole Sijiu City began to boil, and the air seemed to be filled with a lively atmosphere.

Whenever they talked about this, several officials would feel an indescribable envy and greed. They secretly planned how to get a share of this feast, even if it was just a little bit of benefit.

This mentality was not an isolated case within the Nationalist government, but a fairly common phenomenon. Simply removing one or two people involved in the case cannot fundamentally solve this problem. This is actually a problem at the political decision-making level, reflecting the corruption of the officialdom at the time and the endless emergence of corrupt officials due to system loopholes.

"It would be a shame not to take a bite of this fat sheep."

A commissioner named Zheng Xing said, "Recently, Yongchang Grain Store has been buying some grain to build a factory. It's a big move. Do you have any ideas?"

Someone interrupted, "It's useless! Who wouldn't be jealous? We're afraid they'll do something naughty again and make us feel uncomfortable! You won't forget the food shortage incident a while ago, right?"

Another person added, "Yes! Now the city of Sijiu cannot do without Yongchang Grain Store. Without them, we can't buy such cheap food. Without their food, the price will at least double. At that time, those big soldiers will not agree. Isn't it because of this that Wu Youren was taken down."

One person said, "The grain store in Yongchang is not as obedient as before. Without a grain book, you can't buy cheap grain. The grain supplied to the government army is sometimes available and sometimes not. It's not like before when you could get as much as you want and buy and sell as long as you have money. Ever since the common people bought a batch of grain on credit from Yongchang, the grain prices in the shops on the street have risen a lot. The prices of dishes in restaurants have skyrocketed."

Another person said, "Yes! There is no way to get something from the grain. Fortunately, we can still make some moves on the construction site. But we can't be too high-profile, otherwise if it collapses, everyone can't afford the losses."

Several people gathered together and started talking. Their words revealed their covetousness and calculations for the wealth of Yongchang Grain Store.

"By the way, doesn't he want to buy land? Buying land certainly requires transferring ownership, and we can completely prevent him from getting it done. Just say that it's undergoing rectification and they need to wait. Then they will understand what's going on."

"Also, we can transfer a group of soldiers to the land he just bought and make it a military management area. This will prevent him from starting construction for the time being and make him anxious."

"As long as the money is in place, we will give him the green light in everything. If he doesn't fall for it, we'll just give him some time to get it. I heard that they have already started recruiting a lot of employees, purchasing equipment and other preparatory work, just waiting for the land to be acquired."

Everyone contributed their opinions, and every aspect was taken into consideration. How to communicate with subordinates and how to deal with difficulties were all planned out.

After carefully reviewing the current progress of the matter, the newly appointed receiving official felt that a substantial tacit agreement had been reached. He was cautious and reminded in a high-sounding manner:

"In the following operations, we must remember one thing, that is, we must not actively mention the price issue, which can easily put us in a passive situation. We should cleverly let them take the initiative to make a quotation, and then we can make a reasonable and decent response based on our own interests and long-term planning. This not only ensures that we can obtain the benefits we deserve, but also cleverly makes them owe us a favor, which is extremely beneficial for our future work and interpersonal relationship maintenance. Therefore, we must follow this strategy, take steady steps, and ensure that every action can bring the maximum positive effect."

He made a greedy calculation sound fair and just. He is a man of talent, no wonder he became a senior official. It would be impossible without some tricks.

Several colleagues and subordinates flattered the receiving official in unison, praising his outstanding ability and wisdom. They praised the official's decision and actions, saying that he was able to grasp the essence of the problem in one stroke, and his wisdom was admirable.

Not only these people, but also the KMT's spy chief Liu Ruyan, also set his sights on Yongchang Grain Store, hoping to tear off a piece of fat meat from them in order to solve the financial constraints.

As a financial specialist in the spy organization, she plays a crucial role, mainly responsible for fund application and expenditure management.

Under strict control of confidentiality and security measures, she rigorously controls the flow of every fund to ensure that every penny is accurately invested in the necessary work links.

She is fully aware of the importance of funding to the operation of an organization. Therefore, before approving any expenditure, she will conduct a detailed review and evaluation to ensure that every penny can be used to the maximum effect.

Despite her young age, being a top beauty doesn’t always have it easy. Although her job is busy and challenging, she is also plagued by harassment.

Her beauty is of the level that can bring disaster.

"Goddess", "Little Fairy", "Sister Chang'e"

No matter who sees her, the first impression they have is these words.

Faced with various temptations and interruptions from the outside world, she not only needs to keep a clear head to deal with complex financial affairs, but also has to have enough wisdom and courage to deal with those distractions that may affect her work or even endanger her safety.

Fortunately, she has a large number of loyal suitors as her strong backing. They not only provide the necessary protection, but also give great support and assistance in her work, so that she can have enough confidence to stick to her principles when facing all kinds of pressure and still remain virgin.

I don’t know when I can end this kind of life.

Ever since she was targeted by the eldest son of a privileged family, her father had no choice but to use his connections to get her into such a department to avoid risks.

Considering the special nature and security needs of espionage work, it was a helpless move to ask important businesses such as Yongchang Grain Store to pay a certain amount of protection fees.

This is not only a safeguard for one's own safety, but also an important economic foundation for maintaining the normal operation of the organization and effectively executing tasks.

If she fails to do well and loses this identity, that lustful ghost will immediately pounce on her and eat her.

"Other big merchants have already paid their dues. It would be a little inappropriate for Yongchang Grain Company not to pay some, right?"

She ordered her subordinates to conduct a follow-up investigation on the young master of Yongchang Grain Store. The reason why she did not look for Zhang Dalong was that although this shopkeeper was smart and capable, in her opinion, his status and authority were limited after all, and he might not be able to fully meet the needs of this mission.

She knew very well that the quickest and most efficient way to truly solve the problem was to communicate directly with the employer.

If you only deal with shopkeepers like Zhang Dalong every time, you may not only miss the opportunity to establish direct contact with the boss, but also cause information to be untimely or misunderstandings due to too many levels.

Therefore, she decided to contact the employer directly so that she could communicate better, solve the problem as soon as possible, and avoid unnecessary trouble and duplication of work.

Hou Jie had no idea.

The witch who cut his kidney, Liu Ruyan, was already on her way.

There is still one day left until contact.

In his later life, because of her appearance, Hou Jie's mentality collapsed again and again.

Anyway, I'm stuck and I can't get rid of it no matter how hard I try.
