Merchants were merchants, and their shrewdness could not be surpassed.
Guo Hongcheng somehow learned about Li Jinbiao's political background, so he attached great importance to Du Bin and his party. That night, he gathered the bosses of several of the country's largest high-end furniture manufacturers and several larger wood export enterprises to discuss while drinking.
At midnight, the bosses agreed to go to Chang Hai City for inspection and investment. Du Bin knew that besides the huge investment potential of Changhai City, they also valued the political background of Li Jinbiao and Gao Shouchen. During the banquet, Gao Shouchen had unnaturally revealed his identity as the son-in-law of the vice governor to everyone.
Guo Hongcheng wanted to take everyone out for supper. Du Bin understood that the supper he was talking about was something like going to a spa or a nightclub. He was not interested in these entertainment projects in the first place. In addition, he was worried about Lu Hui, who was detained at the Tailing City Discipline Inspection Committee. He was a little depressed and faintly hurt. Du Bin said that you guys should go for supper. I was a little tired, so I went back to the hotel. Li Jinbiao and Gao Shouchen were really a pair of good-for-nothings. They had the same bad taste. They were happy that Du Bin wasn't by their side. Without restrictions, they were free and carefree. They followed Guo Hongcheng to have fun.
Besides, Ma Deliang saw that Du Bin was stubborn and misunderstood Lu Hui. Although he was very angry, he understood his old classmate's feelings. After Du Bin went to the south, he went to find an acquaintance to ask for help and handed over 150,000 yuan to the Tailing City Discipline Inspection Committee for Du Bin.
Actually, it was not that he could not afford the 150,000 yuan.
His family had a total of 160,000 yuan in savings. It should be enough to pay Lu Hui's 150,000 yuan for Du Bin. However, her daughter, Ma Xiaoyuan, had only scored 415 points in the college entrance examination a few days ago. She couldn't get into any formal university. She had to rely on Ping Tiemin's connections to be admitted to Tailing University, but she had to pay a tuition fee of 75,000 yuan. Ma Deliang's family's money was managed by his wife. He tried to ask his wife for money to pay for Du Bin first, but his wife insisted on setting aside her daughter's tuition and living expenses, saying that she could only give Ma Deliang 60,000 yuan at most.
He had no other choice, so he shamelessly went to find that acquaintance and asked him to help solve the remaining funds.
Because it was only an hour or two away from Macau, Li Jinbiao proposed to go to the Macau casino to play. Du Bin had yet to express his opinion, but Gao Shouchen agreed with him. Guo Hongcheng was also happy to accompany him. Du Bin did not want to dampen their spirits, so he said,""You guys go ahead. I'll go to another city with a concentrated wood industry. However, Shouchen, we don't care how big Li Jinbiao's stakes are. He's the boss of a private enterprise and can gamble however he wants. You can't, understand?”Gao Shouchen agreed readily.
Guo Hongcheng sent a female vice president to accompany Du Bin to another wood processing center. The two of them looked around aimlessly. At noon, they ate local snacks at a street stall. His phone rang. Du Bin saw that it was Yu Min's number.
" Du is quite handsome." Yu Min, the tomboy, said sarcastically," He runs to the south every two or three days. Does he have a lover there?" Did he lose his soul over there? Perhaps, the beauty is accompanying you right now?”
Du Bin glanced at the female vice president and said,""Don't spout nonsense. If you have something to say, say it quickly. This is a long distance!”
"Du Bin, you're not a man enough!”Yu Min's tone turned sharply and started to insult Du Bin. Du Bin covered the microphone and whispered to the female vice president,"I'm sorry, I'll take a call outside.”The female vice president guessed that it was a woman calling, so she smiled charmingly at Du Bin and nodded.
Du Bin walked a little further away and said," Stupid girl, when did I offend you? Why am I not a man?"”
" Stop pretending, Du Bin," Yu Min said angrily." I didn't expect you to be such a person. You disappoint me!"”
"You tomboy, tell me clearly. When did I disappoint you?”Du Bin was confused. After being scolded by her, he became anxious and shouted into the microphone in a low voice.
"Are you playing dumb?" Yu Min looked rather agitated. Her tone was filled with doubt and hostility as she asked," Lü Hui was arrested. Why did you leave? You didn't even ask, let alone ask someone to plead for mercy. You've been with Lu Hui for three years, and you're still a fiancée? I think she's blind!"
"Tomboy, can you not be so mean?”The two muscles on Du Bin's cheeks that kept jumping showed that he was angry.
"My words are sarcastic? If you think my words are mean, then don't do those mean things!”Yu Min was also very angry. She shouted at him," Let me tell you, Du Bin, not to mention Lu Hui sleeping with you, even if an ordinary friend was caught, you can't just leave like that, right? You can't just not care, not ask, and not help, right? I've finally seen through it. You politicians are all fucking heartless! They all f * cking jumped out from the cracks in the rocks!”
"I'm warning you, tomboy. Don't hurt people with your words!”Du Bin growled. He couldn't take it anymore. If Yu Min was by his side at this time, he would definitely give her a tight slap.
"My words hurt people? What a joke!" Yu snorted coldly and said," Lu Hui is such a good girl. She's in trouble now, and you're afraid that you'll be covered in shit and that it'll affect your career, so you chose to run away and go out to have fun. Tell me, is this what a real man should do? She was a weak and helpless girl. She had no relatives in Changhai City and Tailing City. Now that she was arrested and interrogated, she must have suffered a lot in there. Not to mention that she was wronged! In my opinion, even if she isn't tortured to death in there, she will die of grievances!”
Du Bin wanted to defend himself, but Yu Min hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone call from Yu Min, Du Bin realized that he was drenched in cold sweat.
He shivered and cursed himself in his heart as he called Ma Delang's phone. "De Liang, I'm Du Bin." Du Bin wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand." Is there any progress on Lu Hui's case?”
"Yo, my boss, it's rare for you to suddenly care about Lu Hui. Aren't you afraid that she'll stain you with feces?”Ma De Liang mocked.
"Don't waste your saliva on me!" Du Bin said," Why are you speaking in the same tone as that brat Yu Min? I'm not hiding. I was urged by Li Jinbiao to come here. I'm here to attract investment for Changhai City's Wood City.”
"Yo, yo, you're too dignified! When you come back, do you need me to mobilize the people of Changhai City to welcome you? Shall I give you a Wanmin Umbrella?" Ma De Liang didn't listen to Du Bin's explanation and continued to mock him.
"Don't be so cocky with me. Ma Deliang, let me ask you, how is Lu Hui?”Du Bin's anger rose. He shouted into the microphone, startling an old lady from the south who passed by him. The old lady quickly dodged and nagged," Amur tiger, Amur tiger!”
Ma De Liang heard that Du Bin was really anxious and said,""I've handed over the 150,000 yuan that Lu Hui borrowed from Liu Yulin for you. My friend at the Tailing City Discipline Inspection Committee said that if Lu Hui pleads guilty, she will be given a lighter sentence. He said that she will be sentenced to three years at most.”
"Not even three years!" Du Bin shouted loudly. He was really anxious and begged," Deliang, I'm begging you. Go to Tailing City now and beg your friend from the Tailing City Discipline Inspection Committee. Make some arrangements and don't sentence her, do you understand? If…if she was sentenced, Lu Hui…her life would be over…over, Deliang!”
Suddenly, a sour bitter water that he had never experienced before rushed into Du Bin's throat like boiling hot iron. The intense and stinging burning sensation forced out two drops of tears, filling Du Bin's eyes.
Facing his old classmate, Du Bin finally couldn't control his emotions. The blow and pain he had suffered for the past few days finally broke out. He choked up…
