Director Wang's gaze flicked to the envelope under the application report, knowing that Lin Qiaoxia had finally come to her senses.
A small smile formed at the corner of his mouth, and Director Wang reached out to take the envelope, weighing it in his hand several times before his expression suddenly stiffened.
With his experience, he instantly calculated that the money in the envelope didn't exceed fifty thousand, at most sixty thousand...
Director Wang's face turned quite ugly.
What did this woman Lin Qiaoxia mean?
She asked him to expedite the matter, and she just gave him a paltry fifty thousand yuan as a "hard-working fee"? What? Did she look down on him?!
Director Wang cursed inwardly, and his face darkened. He didn't even pretend to read the application report but directly threw both the report and the envelope back onto the desk and scolded loudly, "What do you mean by this, trying to bribe me? Am I that kind of person? Huh!"
Lin Qiaoxia watched as Director Wang's face turned dark in an instant, feeling somewhat baffled.
Ah? What happened to Director Wang, why did he get so angry?
Didn't Sister Chen say to give them a little gratuity, a way to smooth things over? Why did he get furious without even seeing how much money it was? Could it be that Sister Chen misunderstood him?
Director Wang had always withheld approval from her; was it actually because the paperwork was insufficient? Did it require time for review? Was he a very upright and honest person?
Lin Qiaoxia was thoroughly confused and at a loss, with no idea what to do.
After all, it was her first time trying to network, not knowing that the other party was insatiable with greed.
"Get out! Let me tell you, now you and Jinyu Group just wait and see, I will conduct a strict examination of you all!"
Director Wang scolded with an air of righteousness.
He knew that Lin Qiaoxia represented Jinyu Group, as well as the highly popular Beauty Pill.
Jinyu Group's plan to open a branch office in Jinling was received very favorably, and many preferential policies were offered by the Jinling Temples and Halls. Ordinary people were mostly afraid to offend them, for fear of being blacklisted and later unable to purchase Beauty Pill or the better medicine they claim to have in the future...
However, Director Wang, being a solitary man without a wife or daughter, naturally didn't fear being blacklisted by Jinyu Group and not being able to buy their medicine in the future.
Also, he wasn't intentionally holding up Jinyu Group's procedures; indeed, he was processing them at the normal pace.
Although it's true that for a big company like them, with all paperwork in order and inspections passed, immediate approval was typical...
However, larger groups than Jinyu Group, when their representatives came to him for procedures, were also very respectful in offering him numerous gifts. Since Jinyu Group acted so high and mighty, wasn't it alright for him to handle their case at the regular pace?
Therefore, even if he were investigated, he wouldn't have any problems.
Hearing Director Wang's righteous scolding, Lin Qiaoxia grew anxious and blurted out, "Director Wang, I really don't have any money left. How about I make it up to you next month after I get my salary?"
She started to realize, could it be that the money was too little? Was Director Wang uncomfortable, signaling her for more?!
When Director Wang heard how loud Lin Qiaoxia was speaking, his face turned even darker.
Ni Ma's, why are you shouting so loudly?
Trying to scare me, to threaten me?
"Don't play these games with me, it's not about the money. I won't take your money, your attitude has many problems. Now get out at once!"
Lin Qiaoxia was shouting so loudly, it wouldn't matter if she said she would make it up after her salary. Even if she produced one million yuan now, Director Wang wouldn't dare to accept it, to avoid giving rise to any talk.
Director Wang sternly reprimanded Lin Qiaoxia and, seeing she still refused to leave, hurriedly grabbed the phone nearby and called the security at the entrance, "Hello, come in and take this unreasonable President Lin away."
…
Mu Jinyu sat in the rear seat of the car, en route to the Jinling Temples and Halls. With nothing to do during the journey, he occasionally received messages from Xiang Mantang with decisions they were unsure about, asking him, as the Dragon King, to make the final call. He would then ponder briefly before making a decision and replying to Xiang Mantang.
"Ding."
At that moment, Su Xuezhen sent a message, asking where he was now. His test results from the hospital had come out, confirming his health had recovered, and his sperm vitality was normal again.
Mu Jinyu wasn't surprised at how Su Xuezhen got his mobile number; with his status, it would be easy to obtain his number.
He guessed Su Xuezhen knew his current location, as well as the route and destination he was headed to, but out of respect, he did not rashly go there and instead decided to ask him first.
Mu Jinyu replied, telling him there was no need to come over as he had other matters to attend to.
If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't have the confidence to continue the conversation and would obediently agree not to come, but Su Xuezhen was no ordinary person, and he sincerely wanted to express his gratitude to Mu Jinyu.
Therefore, he replied, saying that he personally needed to thank Mu Jinyu for the great favor and begged him not to refuse.
Seeing his persistence, Mu Jinyu couldn't refuse any longer, and directly sent the address of the temple he was headed to Su Xuezhen.
Su Xuezhen replied that he would be right over.
Mu Jinyu didn't reply further and simply put his phone away.
Soon, the Dragon King Hall Member drove up in front of the Jinling Temples and Halls building.
Mu Jinyu got out of the car and then walked into the building.
The security guards waiting at the entrance saw Mu Jinyu stepping out of the red flag sedan, surrounded by a group of men with an extraordinary bearing and calm faces, walking towards them with an imposing air, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly, let alone step forward to question him.
"Ah!"
Just then.
Lin Qiaoxia and her secretary, Sister Chen, were being pushed out by the security guards called over by Director Wang.
Lin Qiaoxia was pushed so hard by the guard that she stumbled and nearly fell.
Mu Jinyu, seeing this, quickly stepped forward and reached out to steady her.
Lin Qiaoxia, realizing someone had caught her, reflexively tried to push them away while apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
"Sister Qiaoxia, are you alright?" Mu Jinyu saw she was unharmed and let go of her while asking with concern.
"I'm fine... Ah?" Lin Qiaoxia replied, but then recognizing the familiar voice, she immediately turned her head in shock.
When she saw that it was Mu Jinyu who had just supported her, her eyes instantly reddened with a mix of grievance and embarrassment.
The grievance was due to the treatment she had just received, and the embarrassment was due to Mu Jinyu witnessing her ineffectiveness at handling the situation.
"Hurry up and scram, don't come back causing trouble!"
At that moment, the several security guards who had pushed Lin Qiaoxia and her secretary out scowled coldly at Mu Jinyu and the Dragon King Hall Officials behind him, and spoke harshly.
"Hmm?!" Mu Jinyu turned his head to look at the fellow who had pushed Lin Qiaoxia to the brink of falling and, with a fierce glint in his eye, said, "What is this attitude? Is this how a public servant should behave?"
