But before he could finish, Song Yong interrupted impatiently, "It is precisely to give you face that I gave him this opportunity to reform."

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly tense, Lin Ruixue gently pulled Zhou Qi's arm and whispered, "How about we leave here first?"

Song Yong sneered, "Want to leave? Unless she comes to me to admit her mistake on your behalf, don't dream on."

Lin Ruixue showed an angry look on her face and responded without showing any weakness: "As a public official, your behavior is simply despicable. We came here with sincerity to discuss cooperation, but you took advantage of your power to bully us. This is simply corrupting the atmosphere."

Song Yong still looked nonchalant. "Where's the evidence? Without evidence, everything is just empty talk. Besides, it's normal to have some minor frictions at the table. How can you blame it all on me? I can only say that you are too ignorant."

Zhou Qi raised his hand slightly and interrupted Lin Ruixue: "Those trivial matters that are not worth mentioning are not worth wasting our time on."

"What did you say?" Song Yong said coldly.

Zhou Qi ignored him and turned his gaze to Zhang Wenhui, asking calmly, "Regarding the acquisition of Pinliang Shop, what is the attitude of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission?"

Zhang Wenhui glanced at Song Yong and said slowly: "They offered a price of four million..."

These words were like a slap in the face, landing heavily on Song Yong's face.

Song Yong's face darkened instantly, and he said coldly: "Deputy Director Zhang, please be careful with your words. As the deputy director, do you know what you are talking about? Or is there some secret between you two?"

Zhang Wenhui frowned and replied, "Director Song, I think you understand the public affairs better than me. The intention of Pinliang Shop is well known. Your remarks seem a bit radical!"

"Excessive?" Song Yong sneered, "So, you are planning to stand on his side?"

"I am responsible for the entire acquisition process." Song Yong continued: "Without my consent, this matter can be delayed for several years without any problem."

"As far as I know, Deputy Director Zhang may be transferred to another position soon. I hope he won't get into any trouble then?" Song Yong said threateningly.

Zhang Wenhui's face turned pale, while Sun Zhihua remained silent, fearing that he would be involved in this turmoil.

"Although we are just a small town and not as prosperous as a big city, we are definitely not a place where you can be bullied." Zhang Wenhui responded firmly: "Aren't you being too contemptuous of me?"

Song Yong took off his glasses and wiped them carelessly: "The lens is a little dirty. I wasn't careful enough when I checked the accounts before. It seems necessary to review them again. Maybe start with all the records from the early days of the factory. This way, we can ensure that everything is transparent and correct."

Everyone knows what such a thorough review means.

Everyone has their own secrets, and once old issues are brought up, no one can guarantee that they can escape unscathed.

Song Yong put his glasses back on with a mocking smile on his face. "Does it look much clearer now? Director Sun, Deputy Director Zhang, do you think this reexamination is necessary?"

Facing Song Yong's question that almost pushed the two of them to despair, Sun Zhihua hurriedly smiled and said, "Since the establishment of the factory, every income and expenditure has been clearly stated. Repeated inspections will only increase the workload and will also be a burden to the leaders.

As for this acquisition, I think Pinliang Shop really needs to consider it more carefully. Director Zhang was just too anxious and had a little drink, so he lost his sense of proportion when he spoke. "

Song Yong had a teasing smile on his face. He turned his gaze to Zhou Qi and said slowly, "See? I'm not the only one who thinks that Pinliang is not qualified to acquire the cotton mill."

He turned his eyes and glanced at Zhang Wenhui: "Director Sun has made his position clear. Now I am waiting for your words, Deputy Director Zhang."

The whole scene seemed like a game, and Song Yong was the player who controlled everything. His purpose was simple and clear, which was to make Zhou Xiao realize that he was nothing here.

With just a few words, he can manipulate people at will. Who dares to compete with him?

Zhang Wenhui felt mixed emotions. A few days ago, it was Zhou Qi who generously donated 500,000 yuan to help him through the difficult times.

Now he has to face such a situation, which really makes it difficult for him to accept.

But Song Yong's attitude was very clear: either surrender or bear the consequences.

He gritted his teeth and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp. "Mr. Song, why do you sound like you have something against me?"

Zhang Wenhui narrowed his eyes and stared at the other party, unwillingly saying: "Boss Song, if you are so unreasonable, then let's have some fun. Don't think you can manipulate me easily. Even if we fight to the end, I will make you pay the price."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wenhui stood up and grabbed Zhou Qi's arm, "Brother, I didn't handle today's matter properly. Let's leave here first. No matter what happens, I will take care of it and it won't get you involved."

Zhou Qi was deeply moved by this persistence. Faced with interests and loyalty, Zhang Wenhui chose the latter, which is not something that everyone can do.

Just as the two were about to leave, there was a knock on the box door.

As Dezi led a few strong men into the room, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Seeing the reinforcements coming, Song Yong showed a smug smile on his face, and said to the two people who were trying to leave: "Want to leave? I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Dezi waved his hand and his men immediately blocked the exit.

Song Yong crossed his legs leisurely, squinted at Zhou Qi, and said provocatively: "Since you are here, don't be in a hurry to leave. Let's chat and see how you can prevent me from going back to Chun City."

Zhang Wenhui stepped forward and stood in front of Dezi and his group, trying to ease the tense atmosphere: "Brother, it's just a small misunderstanding, there's no need to take it seriously."

Before he could finish his words, he was rudely pulled aside by his men.

This sudden change made Zhang Wenhui's face suddenly pale.

Seeing this, Sun Zhihua hurriedly moved to the side of the table, fearing that the ensuing conflict would get him covered in blood.

However, at this critical moment, Lin Ruixue appeared unusually calm because she recognized the visitor.

Years ago, it was Dezi, one of this group of people, who visited her home with Erpao and others, and gave gifts to her husband Zhou Qi.

"Stop." Zhou Qi frowned slightly, his face full of majesty.

Upon hearing the sound, Dezi and his companions immediately stopped what they were doing, as if they were frozen, and then let go of Zhang Wenhui.

Song Yong saw this scene clearly and was shocked. Although he was not stupid, he could not figure out the situation at the moment.

What happened next made Song Yong even more dumbfounded. He saw Dezi respectfully half-bowed to Zhou Qi and respectfully called him "Master Qi".
