The subordinate asked, "Brother Ping, should we inform Mr. Fan about this matter?"

Liu Zhenping immediately glared at him and said angrily, "Such a small issue, why do we need to bother my brother-in-law? Can't we handle it ourselves? Do as I say!"

"Alright, alright, I'll go right now."

The subordinate didn't dare to object.

He hurriedly scurried away.

Liu Zhenping is Fan Chongfa's brother-in-law.

In fact, Fan Chongfa looks down on Liu Zhenping quite a lot.

This fact is clearer to Liu Zhenping than anyone else.

Being made the person in charge of the Jufu Garden project was already giving his sister face.

Liu Zhenping is someone who doesn't have much skill and goes idling around without doing proper work; after last night's incident, Fan Chongfa called him and scolded him harshly, and even said if he causes trouble again, he would no longer have to work as the project lead and should go back to where he came from.

So, at this moment, Liu Zhenping was eager to prove himself.

He needed to handle this matter to show his brother-in-law that he was not useless.

No matter what, the photos from the scene must not get out.

Otherwise, the issue would definitely escalate.

By that time, his brother-in-law would suffer major losses.

Thinking of this.

Liu Zhenping pushed open the door to the project office.

At this time.

Chen Fang and Li Weiyang were already seated on the sofa.

A scantily clad female secretary was making tea for the two of them.

Liu Zhenping entered with a giggle.

Upon sitting down, he began to sincerely apologize to Chen Fang and Li Weiyang, naturally for last night's incident.

Suddenly, Chen Fang reached out his hand.

He interrupted what Liu was about to say next.

"Mr. Liu, last night's incident will be handled by the Public Security Bureau, so we don't need to discuss it. Let's talk about the construction matter."

"Alright, alright, let's talk about the construction matter. As of now, the entire project is at the sewage network management stage. The whole project completion will still require..."

Those pompous words.

Chen Fang didn't want to listen to them at all.

He reached out his hand again to interrupt.

And said sternly, "Mr. Liu, Secretary Li and I have already been here. Before you came, we have carefully inspected the site. You should know what I want to talk to you about."

Liu Zhenping pretentiously slapped his thigh.

And shouted towards the door, "Ashui, get in here!"

With that shout.

The guy wearing a white hard hat hurriedly came through the door.

Without further ado, Liu Zhenping rushed to the man with the white hard hat, stretched out his hand and slapped him several times in the face.

As if that wasn't enough.

He kicked him a few times in the stomach.

Then shouted, "Come on, explain to the two leaders what really happened?"

The man in the white hard hat, named Ashui.

Also knew what to do.

He immediately knelt on the ground with a crying face, and tearfully said, "Two leaders, it's all my fault, I Feng Deshui was delusional, I cut corners and used inferior materials, I know I was wrong, I'm willing to accept punishment..."

Both Chen Fang and Li Weiyang saw through this tactic.

They were shifting all the blame onto the subordinate.

This way, the major issue would become small and would eventually be overlooked.

After Feng Deshui finished crying and begging.

Liu Zhenping waved him away.

He, relieved, scrambled out of the office.

Next.

Liu Zhenping glanced at the female secretary.

The female secretary also obediently left the room.

He opened a cupboard under the desk.

Took out a cloth bag from inside and placed it in front of Chen Fang and Li Weiyang, saying, "Two leaders, this is my negligence in management. I'll immediately order the site to cease operations for rectification. You've worked hard, please take this for tea."

Chen Fang opened that cloth bag.

Inside, there were two stacks of money.

All unopened.

The amount should be two hundred thousand.

Liu Zhenping's intention was very simple, he wanted to bribe Chen Fang and Li Weiyang.

"Mr. Liu, isn't this a bit too little money?"

Chen Fang asked directly.

Liu Zhenping feared that Chen Fang wouldn't take the money; now that he complained it was too little, that meant there was still a chance.

He chuckled and said.

"Mayor Chen's right, this amount is indeed not much, but our construction unit doesn't have much cash. How about this, I'll treat Mayor Chen and Secretary Li to dinner tonight, and make up the difference then."

It can be seen from this.

Liu Zhenping was quite adept at handling situations.

Chen Fang smiled slightly.

He said, "Mr. Liu, let's be straightforward. Can I quote a figure?"

"Sure, go ahead, Mayor Chen, name your price!"

"Hmm... this figure..."

Chen Fang raised two fingers.

Liu Zhenping saw it and smiled, "Twenty each, sure, sure. Mayor Chen, rest assured, I'll bring it over tonight."

Chen Fang shook his head.

A hint of seriousness appeared in Liu Zhenping's expression.

"Two million?"

Isn't that a bit excessive?

Two million is no small amount, and Chen Fang dares to ask for it.

He thought, Chen Fang is the project lead; although two million is a lot, perhaps if reported to his brother-in-law, it might be agreeable.

He said, "This amount, I need to consult my brother-in-law, but it shouldn't be too much of an issue."

Unexpectedly, Chen Fang continued to shake his head.

If it were anyone else.

Liu Zhenping might have started scolding.

But now, he was still holding back.

He cautiously asked, "Mayor Chen, you don't mean twenty million, right?"

"Yes, twenty million!"

Chen Fang replied.

Liu Zhenping laughed as soon as he heard it and said, "Mayor Chen, isn't this figure a bit too outrageous? The entire project's profit is just so much, and you're asking for twenty million up front. Isn't it a bit greedy?"

"Is it? I don't think so, the Xinglin District bid is over nine million, Jufu Garden bid is over ten million, together twenty million isn't an exaggeration. Besides, this money isn't for me, it's just letting you cough it up. I think it's quite reasonable."

Chen Fang said with a carefree tone.

Cough it up?

What does that mean?

Liu Zhenping pondered for a moment.

And said with a smile, "Mayor Chen must be joking."

"I'm not joking, nor am I in the mood to joke with you. You have two choices, either rework the projects completed to meet contract standards, or your company steps aside, and I'll find another construction company."

Chen Fang said sternly.

At that moment.

Liu Zhenping shuddered.

He finally figured it out.

Chen Fang wasn't here for the money.

He was here to cause trouble.

Once he understood that.

Liu Zhenping asked, "Mayor Chen, are you planning to give us no way out? Don't you realize who granted us this project?"

"Who granted you the project, and who's backing you, that has nothing to do with me. My demands are the two I mentioned; consider them yourselves."

After he finished speaking.

Chen Fang clapped the armrest of the sofa and stood up.
