official career

"Thank you, Secretary." Wang Bingrong sat down respectfully.

"How much is the wheelchair?" Qin Feng asked straight to the point.

"What wheelchair?" Wang Bingrong played dumb.

"It's pointless to play dumb." Qin Feng leaned back in his chair.

"Secretary, this wheelchair is really not worth much. It's just a small token of my appreciation to my sister-in-law..."

"How much?" Qin Feng interrupted Wang Bingrong's explanation.

"Secretary, this is just a small amount of money. It is definitely not related to any violation of rules or disciplines. We ordinary people also have the etiquette of courtesy and social etiquette, not to mention you, the leaders..."

"Let me ask you how much this wheelchair costs?" Qin Feng asked again.

Seeing that Qin Feng was very serious, Wang Bingrong had to give a number: "Three thousand yuan."

"Do you take me for a fool? You can buy a wheelchair like this for 3,000 yuan?"

"I didn't lie to you, it was really three thousand yuan. A friend of mine is the general agent, and he gave it to me according to the factory price. It was really three thousand yuan. Secretary, three thousand yuan is not illegal or against discipline, right?" Wang Bingrong insisted.

"I asked someone to check online. The official selling price is over 70,000. If you say it's cheaper, I'll believe you. But do you believe it's over 3,000?"

"Give me your bank account number and I will transfer the money to you according to the official price. Then you write me a receipt stating that I asked you to buy the wheelchair on your behalf." Qin Feng took out a piece of paper and a pen and placed them in front of Wang Bingrong.

"Secretary, it's really not necessary. It's just a matter of two or three thousand yuan. You have helped me so much, isn't this what I should do..." Wang Bingrong was anxious.

"First, this is not about money. This is my principle. You know this from the first day."

"Secondly, this is not a small amount of money. This amount of money is enough to send me to jail."

"Third, I know exactly what you want me to do to please you. I can tell you clearly that there is no room for negotiation."

"Di Xi, I don't trust you. Today I took your wheelchair, and the next day you sold me out. How can I explain it? It's childish to suffer a loss once, but if you suffer the same loss twice, you'd be a fool and a stupid person." Qin Feng said coldly to Wang Bingrong.

Qin Feng's last sentence immediately made Wang Bingrong shut up. He couldn't refute this. He did betray Qin Feng last time, and he did it very resolutely.

Wang Bingrong felt very bitter. He could not blame others but himself for not persisting.

If he had persisted at the beginning, with Qin Feng's current power in Yi'an, what could Wang Bingrong not accomplish? What money could he not make?

Wang Bingrong silently picked up the paper and pen on the table and began to write a receipt. He stated on the receipt that Qin Feng had asked him to buy a wheelchair for him, and then wrote that Qin Feng had transferred money to his bank card, but the amount was still three thousand yuan.

"Wang Bingrong, my patience is limited, and I am also busy. I don't have time to continue playing with you here." Seeing that Wang Bingrong still wrote three thousand, Qin Feng suddenly became angry.

Wang Bingrong took out a shopping receipt from his pocket and handed it to Qin Feng.

"Secretary, I didn't lie to you. This wheelchair really only cost 3,280 yuan. I understand your thoughts. What I did was inappropriate. Please transfer 3,280 yuan to my card first." Wang Bingrong said.

Qin Feng looked at the shopping invoice carefully, and after a long while he looked up at Wang Bingrong: "You've already thought about it, and you've even prepared the amount on the invoice, right?"

"Secretary, it really only cost me over 3,200 yuan. I don't know how much it sold for online. I only know that my friend sold it to me for only 3,280 yuan."

"I still say the same thing. I understand that you don't trust me, so I will take whatever you give me no matter how much you spend. But I can't ask for more money from you, not even a penny more." Wang Bingrong looked at Qin Feng and said.

"Wang Bingrong, don't challenge my bottom line." Qin Feng was completely furious.

"Secretary, I can't help you if you want to blame me. I can't charge you more money. In addition, if you don't trust me, in addition to this invoice and receipt, I can also write you another document to guarantee this matter. Moreover, you can also report this matter to the Discipline Inspection Commission first."

"We have receipts and invoices, and they can withstand inspection." Wang Bingrong said to Qin Feng very firmly.

"You..." Qin Feng was very angry, and felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a dead fly. He didn't want to take any benefit from Wang Bingrong, and didn't want to owe Wang Bingrong any favor. But now it seems that he has to accept this favor whether he wants to or not.

Hong Yue likes this wheelchair, which is what Qin Feng finds most helpless.

"Wang Bingrong, even if I accept your wheelchair today, I can't open any opening for you on the land along the riverside scenic belt."

"That piece of land must be developed together, and you don't have the ability to do so." Qin Feng made his words very clear.

"Secretary, I have never told you about this. I do want to develop that land, but I will never trouble you because of it." Wang Bingrong said.

Qin Feng looked at Wang Bingrong and he couldn't help but sigh that Wang Bingrong was indeed a master in the ways of the world. At least this time, he, Qin Feng, lost.

PS: I recommend a book by a friend, "The King of Folk Gamblers" (Yu Ruijun). I think it is very good. Friends who are interested can go and have a look.
