Vol V Chapter 38
Huang Bonan seemed to have deliberately shifted his gaze to Mo Zihan. His gaze made Mo Zihan feel a little uncomfortable.
She sat there quietly. She was wearing a fat school uniform. She had small cheeks, big eyes, and long black hair tied into a ponytail.
She was only fourteen years old, and she looked thin and small. She was very inconspicuous. If she did not speak or look at others, she looked like a little punching bag who grew up in the slums.
She lowered her head as if she did not dare to look up.
Mo Junbao did not know what to say and praised," That's right. This child has been quiet since he was young. Who would have thought that he would save his third uncle's life at a critical moment! Haha."
Chief Bai only glanced at him casually and ignored Mo Junbao. He only looked at Huang Bonan and smiled." Mr. Huang, I took the liberty to ask you out today because I actually have something to discuss with you."”
Huang Bonan was taken aback. He didn't expect that Chief Bai would still mention this matter with outsiders around. He immediately smiled and said," My treat, my treat! It is a great honor for me to have a meal with you! We won't talk about business today. When Chief Bai is free, I'll find a place to sit with you alone.”
When Chief Bai heard this, although he was still smiling, his eyes had already darkened.
Bai Zizhen was the mayor of a city at the age of 30. Although it was only a county-level city, it was clear that he had a powerful background.
Huang Bonan was not stupid. Ever since Bai Zizhen came to Lan City, he had been focusing on the economy. He had monopolized the entire passenger transport industry in Lan City. Bai Zizhen had no good intentions and was bent on acquiring his passenger transport group under the government's name.
"Mr. Huang, I'm sure you know why I'm here. If there's anything I want to say, I'll be straightforward. Nowadays, in many large and medium-sized cities, the passenger transport industry was controlled by the government. The passenger transport was not a small matter. It was related to the livelihood and security of the entire city. It was better to let the government manage it so that it could be easier to supervise. However, Mr. Huang is a businessman after all, and the government will not treat you badly. When the passenger transport group becomes a state-owned enterprise, you will have shares in it and will still be the chairman. In terms of title, you will enjoy the same level of treatment as a cadre.”
No one, including Huang Bonan, had expected Chief Bai to openly state his purpose for coming here, not caring whether Huang Bonan had intentionally delayed or interrupted him.
Mo Junbao was still alright. He was not very cultured and could not understand what the other party was saying. However, he could hear that Chief Bai wanted to represent the government to acquire the passenger transport group. These things had nothing to do with the common people, and he couldn't smell anything else. He only felt that the treatment given by Chief Bai was not bad, and it was very fair.
Wang Fengying understood what he meant, but she didn't know much about it. As for the old lady, she just ignored him and continued eating.
Mo Zihan sat at the side and looked at Huang Bonan's stiff expression. His heart instantly became much clearer.
If Third Uncle Mo Junyi was Chief Bai's man, he probably met Huang Bonan on Chief Bai's request. Regardless of whether the person who assassinated Mo Junyi that day was Huang Bonan's man, Mo Zihan had an outline of the matter in his heart. What puzzled her was that Mo Junyi was actually so highly regarded by Chief Bai.
She had guessed that Mo Junyi was Chief Bai's man, not just because of the gossip at home, but because of Huang Bonan's words just now. If Chief Bai had nothing to do with Mo Junyi, then why would Huang Bonan mention Mo Junyi's assassination in front of Chief Bai and introduce Mo Zihan as his niece?
As for Huang Bonan, he was holding a pair of chopsticks and was about to pick up some food, but he froze. His expression changed before he laughed and put away his chopsticks." You're joking, Bai shi. You're joking."”
"I never joke." Chief Bai seemed to be a hothead. He could not understand the other party's expression at all. It was obvious that the other party was unhappy, but he still said so.
Therefore, he was either a hothead. Otherwise, he had nothing to fear and didn't think Huang Bonan was a threat at all. Having dinner with him today was already giving him a lot of face.
Bai Shi's expression at this moment also showed that he was the second point.
The pitiful Huang Bonan was still playing dumb, but in the face of absolute power and the other party's absolute contempt, it was not worth mentioning at all.
Mo Zihan then sized up Bai Zizhen in surprise. If he was an ordinary official, he would have used his official tone and started practicing Zen in a daze. However, she admired Bai Zizhen's clean and neat attitude.
Of course, admiration was only possible if the other party was already able to control the situation. Otherwise, it would become meaningless bravado and stubbornness.
"Chief Bai." Huang Bonan also stopped smiling and said in a low voice," Please forgive me for not appreciating your kindness. After all, I don't only own the shares of the group. Whether this matter can be passed or not, I still need to hold a meeting with the chairman. Besides, I spent more than ten years to build this passenger transport group. It's not appropriate for you to buy it just like that.”
Although agreeing to Bai Zizhen's request was the wisest choice, the other party's offer was indeed not bad. The passenger transport group being acquired by the government might also be the trend in the future.
However, Huang Bonan had worked so hard to build up his business. If he let go of it, he would slowly be taken over. Besides, he was living a carefree life now. He was willing to be associated with the government, but he did not want to be controlled.
"That's all I have to say. I hope Mister Huang will think about it.”Bai Zizhen smiled as he finished speaking. He then stood up and looked at his arm." I still have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave first.”
After saying that, she did not look at the people in the room. She walked out of the private room with her long, slender legs and steady steps.
At this moment, the waiter brought the Moutai into the private room, but the room was already filled with gloom.
Mo Junbao rubbed his hands and smiled a little cautiously." Mr. Huang, I think Chief Bai has good intentions. Don't be angry. Let's drink!"”
Huang Bonan's suppressed anger was on the verge of exploding. What status did he have in Lan City? This Bai Zizhen actually dared to give him a hard time. How was this a negotiation? This was clearly coercion!
"Drinking? Are you worthy of drinking this kind of wine?!" Huang Bonan sneered. In his heart, he could naturally give Mo Junbao's family face when he was happy, but when he was unhappy, they were nothing!
Suppressing his anger, Huang Bonan stood up and walked out.
Even after he left the room, Mo Junbao was still sitting there in a daze. His fingers had yet to touch the bottle of Maotai.
Mo Zihan sighed softly, feeling an inexplicable sadness in her heart. People with power and status could really trample on the dignity of others.
Chief Bai had trampled on Huang Bonan's dignity, so Huang Bonan was going to trample on the dignity of these commoners.
