Chapter 146: The Little Swindler (1/2)

Twenty thousand yuan was definitely not a small amount in 2001.

Zhang Dekai was not a saint, and the sight of money could move his heart.

But.

He did not want to take the money now.

Apart from the chairman’s repeated instructions not to accept bribes, he also wanted to show his direct superior, Zhao Qingfeng, his determination.

So.

Not only did he not take it, but he also planned to tell Zhao Qingfeng about it after strongly refusing.

Seeing the red envelope in his hand.

Old Zhang immediately frowned.

With a look of disappointment, he looked at Shen Kuo, threw the red envelope on the ground, and said in a lecturing tone, “Old Shen, I originally thought you and Old Wang had something that could change my attitude. For example, besides owning property, it included plans you had made.”

“But I didn’t expect.”

“That the two of you would resort to this!”

“I find it despicable.”

“There’s no point in discussing further.”

“However, considering your genuine desire to do business, I’ll pretend this never happened. You should go to Liu Li as planned, and from now on, let’s not have any direct contact!”

With that.

Zhang Dekai turned and walked away.

Seeing him about to leave, Old Shen was desperately worried and hurried forward to hold him back.

“Manager Zhang!”

“Wait a moment!”

“Give us another chance, will you?”

“You mentioned a business plan, right? We have it!”

“We discussed it all day yesterday, and the plan is all in our heads. Give us half an hour, and I’ll have it written down immediately!”

They were truly clueless.

Seeing Old Shen and Old Wang as anxious as ants on a hot pan, going on about doing it for their daughters and families, Zhang Dekai ultimately couldn’t bring himself to leave.

He checked his watch, “Half an hour, okay, then I’ll wait for you for half an hour.”

Half an hour was just to appease them, the business plan was useless.

Having said that.

He went out to use the restroom.

The office building had communal bathrooms, and Wang Tieshan volunteered to lead him there, while Shen Kuo didn’t go but stood at the door watching, afraid Old Zhang would make a run for it.

Just as Zhang Dekai entered the restroom.

Zhao Qingfeng’s door opened.

Sister Lan led the landlord out in front, while Zhao Qingfeng and Little Kun followed behind, discussing how to deal with Cheng Ming.

As they walked, Little Kun stated, “Little Feng, I’ve figured out how to handle the task you gave me. That kid is greedy and lustful by nature, this time I’ll definitely trick him into a dumb dog!”

Trick?

Shen Kuo heard it clearly.

He knew there were many shell companies in the building that specialized in scams.

After hearing this.

He immediately looked over out of curiosity.

Had he not looked.

He would not have seen Zhao Qingfeng, dressed in a suit and all smiles!

“Little Feng?”

Shen Kuo instantly widened his eyes.

“Uncle Shen?”

Zhao Qingfeng was also startled.

“What are you doing here!”

Shen Kuo’s expression changed, remembering Shen Lingyao’s words and connecting it to Little Kun’s mention of “tricking”, his heart immediately tightened.

Trouble!

Was the godson he had always cared for really learning bad habits?

Wasn’t he in the provincial city fixing computers, why was he here?

He understood!

The woman who left with the landlord earlier, constantly talking about renting the place for a big project.

Look at their joyous vibe.

This must be a criminal gang!

“Zhao Qingfeng!”

Thinking this, Shen Kuo was suddenly filled with rage.

Without a word, he pushed Little Kun aside, grabbed Zhao Qingfeng’s arm, and gave him a fierce kick.

“How could you, engaging in illegal and criminal activities! Come home with me right now, confess everything you’ve done, list the names and addresses of the victims, I’ll clean up this mess for you!”

Angry as he was, scolding as he did.

Old Shen truly did not want Zhao Qingfeng to be arrested by the police.

He thought to himself.

If it could be solved with money, then solve it with money. At this moment, he was more anxious than ants on a hot pan.
