The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chapter 1325: The Senior Activity Center Dispute


Does Wei Xingwen lack money?

As the Director of the Public Security Department, he definitely doesn't lack money.

But why does Lin Jie want to give him money?

It's very simple!

As long as he accepts the money.

He can truly help with matters.

At this moment.

Lin Xueyi and Bi Ruguo seized the opportunity, flanking him on either side, pressing their ample chests against Wei Xingwen, twisting their bodies, and said coyly, "Director Wei, Young Master Lin is so sincere, please accept it. We'll become like family, leading to many opportunities for 'exchange'."

The emphasis was on the word "exchange."

Wei Xingwen wasn't greedy for money.

But he had an eye for beauty.

These two women were naturally alluring, having long since tamed him into submission. He couldn't resist such tenderness.

After pausing, he glanced at the money in the suitcase and said, "Alright, since Young Master Lin is so gracious, it would be impolite to refuse."

Lin Jie smiled.

He knew that once Wei Xingwen was on his side, even if the inspection team came, many things couldn't proceed without the cooperation of the public security department.

With this relationship in place.

Even a formidable Chen Fang would be of no consequence to him.

Moreover, Lv Changsheng was backing him up.

"Alright, it's the weekend, plenty of time left. Miss Xueyi, Miss Bi, keep Director Wei company for a while, I won't disturb you..."

After saying this.

Lin Jie and Lv Feng turned and left.

Wei Xingwen stared at the suitcase full of money in a daze.

Then he looked at the two enticing bodies beside him, steeled his resolve, and plunged forward, pinning both women onto the bed...

In the corridor.

Lin Jie, smoking a cigarette, asked Lv Feng, "How long until the inspection team arrives?"

Lv Feng thought for a moment and said, "About another week, I guess."

Lin Jie nodded.

He said, "Pass the order down, tell our people to complete the demolition of the elderly activity center within two days, and keep a low profile to avoid causing a big scene."

"Alright, I'll go make the arrangements now."

Lv Feng nodded in agreement.

The elderly activity center Lin Jie referred to was the demolition project of the old agricultural machinery factory in Yuqing District, Zhongqing City.

Zhongqing City's agricultural machinery factory was a state-owned enterprise under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Zhongqing City.

It primarily engaged in the production of agricultural machinery equipment.

In the late 1980s and 1990s.

The factory was large, and its equipment was sold nationwide. At the time, getting a job at the machinery factory equated to securing a lifelong job.

Entering the 21st century.

Due to the leaders' lack of ambition.

The machinery factory's profitability began to decline significantly.

Until it eventually couldn't even pay wages.

Helplessly, ten years ago, the enterprise had to declare bankruptcy.

Earlier this year.

The Blue Sea Group, through internal maneuvering and illegal modification of land use, acquired the land of the machinery factory at a very low price.

They planned to develop a luxury residential complex there.

It's important to note the machinery factory's location was quite advantageous.

If this project was successfully developed.

Profits of at least three billion would be easily achievable.

However, there was a problem: the elderly activity center.

After the machinery factory's closure.

The workshops and buildings were left idle.

So a group of retired workers wanted to find a place to be used as an elderly activity center for playing cards, ping pong, etc., giving them a venue to gather and socialize.

Additionally.

The union chairman at the time, together with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission leaders, agreed to waive the owed wages and bonuses.

They provided one of the office buildings for use as an activity center.

Back then, properties weren't worth much.

The Commission thought it was a good idea, resolving the issue of unpaid wages for dozens of employees was a relief.

So they agreed.

The two parties signed an agreement.

The office building became a collective asset of the workers.

Thus.

The elderly activity center was established.

Although the machinery factory's land has been sold to Blue Sea Group.

But the seniors didn't want to sell this building, the reason being simple, the offer was too low.

The entire six-story office building was priced at just one million by Blue Sea Group.

Once divided among everyone, barely anything would remain.

So, after some discussion among themselves.

They decided not to sell.

However, not selling was not an option.

The location of this building sat right in the center of the machinery factory.

If it wasn't demolished, the entire residential complex couldn't be constructed.

Blue Sea Group appealed to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, who couldn't solve the issue, passing the buck back to the seniors, leading to a delay of four to five months. The surrounding workshop areas have been demolished, yet this building still stood in the center.

Even after Blue Sea Group cut off water and electricity to the building.

The twenty to thirty seniors refused to give in.

They took turns guarding the building, denying Blue Sea Group any chance for forced demolition.

Furthermore.

They stacked sandbags at the entrance, and the window glass was reinforced with wooden planks. Inside, there were a large number of wooden sticks and shovels, with a banner that read: "Defend the Elderly Activity Center to the Death".

Initially, Lin Jie wasn't in a rush, believing he could outlast them, but these seniors' health couldn't withstand such a standoff.

Now, it was different.

Chen Fang was about to arrive in Zhongqing City.

If he intervened, the whole project could fall apart.

Therefore, he had to resolve the situation at the elderly activity center before Chen Fang's arrival.

Jixian Road, Zhongqing City.

A 15-story building stood tall.

Atop the building were the words: "Blue Sea Group".

At this time.

On the fifteenth floor of the building.

In a large office.

A glamorous, well-dressed woman was deep in thought.

Her name was Li Yu Huan.

She was the chairman of the Blue Sea Group.

Just a minute ago, she received a call from Lv Feng.

Instructing her to resolve the issue of the machinery factory elderly activity center within two days.

Two days!

An almost impossible task.

However, Li Yu Huan knew that the inspection team was coming aggressively, and if the issue wasn't resolved quickly, the initial investment might be lost.

Thinking of this.

She pressed a button on her desk phone.

She said, "Tell the Coach to come in."

In a short time.

The office door opened.

A young man, with an upright appearance and tanned skin, sporting a crew cut, walked in.

The man was about 1.8 meters tall.

Though not bulky.

He was all muscle.

Dressed in a black shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes, he looked highly capable.

His name was Dong Yanyu, given the nickname "Coach" due to his strong build, implying he was a fitness coach.

He was Li Yu Huan's number one aide.

"Sister Consort, you were looking for me?"

Dong Yanyu asked.

Li Yu Huan nodded and said, "Find Chick and tell him to resolve the elderly activity center within two days..."
