Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 962

The key point is that road construction is obviously a pure money-losing business, and money is being thrown into it like a bottomless pit.

When the imperial court was issuing the tender, why was there no other chamber of commerce bidding except the Sihai Chamber of Commerce?

Because the project that the court is bidding for this time is different from the past. The last time the city wall was built, it was the court that paid for it.

The imperial court did not pay for the road construction this time. The winner of the bid had to pay for the road construction himself, so no one rushed to compete at that time.

But now, these Jiangnan gentry and nobles suddenly jumped out to ask for the road, and the problem here is worth pondering.

After thinking carefully for a while, Wei Wu suddenly thought of a possibility.

Normally, these people would not participate in a losing business unless they know that they can make money!

After coming to this conclusion, Wei Wu quickly said to Qingxia:

"Qingxia, tell me the whole story, how they came to you, and what benefits they want."

Qingxia did not dare to hesitate. She immediately sat up straight and slowly told what had happened to her.

three days ago.

At that time, the two roads from the capital to Zhenjiang Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture were completed, and Qingxia was preparing to start the next stage.

It was at this time that a local businessman from Changzhou Prefecture found her and said that someone in the city's restaurant had invited her to a banquet and asked her to attend.

At first, Qingxia didn't think much about it. She just thought someone wanted to talk to her about the sugar business, so she went straight over.

When she entered the restaurant, Qingxia realized that the place was booked out and there were only three people sitting at the table in the middle of the lobby.

The three men were dressed in fancy clothes, but it was obvious that the fat man in the middle was the one in charge.

At first Qingxia felt that the other party was quite sincere, but she dismissed the idea the next second.

Normally, when businessmen entertain guests, they will stand up to greet them when they arrive to show their sincerity.

But after she entered the room, the three men didn't even stand up, they just sat there as steady as a rock.

Seeing this, Qingxia knew that this banquet was not going to be a good one, so she didn't bother to say anything to them and prepared to leave on the spot.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she was stopped by two big men, who then forcibly "invited" her to the table.

The problem was that there were only three chairs at the table, and Qingxia's face suddenly turned dark.

"What do you mean by this? Not only did you invite people to a banquet but you didn't even provide a chair and asked me to stand during the banquet?"

As soon as Qingxia finished speaking, the fat man sitting in the middle spoke.

"I think you misunderstood. You are not my guest. I just asked you to come over to tell you something, so there is no need to ask you to sit down."

"Listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. I don't like to repeat myself, so remember it well."

Qingxia was so angry that she almost laughed when she heard this. She was about to speak, but the other party didn't give her a chance to speak.

"Regarding the court's bidding for road construction, I know your Sihai Chamber of Commerce has subcontracted a portion of the project. I can handle the other roads."

"But the line from Zhenjiang Prefecture to Songjiang Prefecture must be contracted by us. Of course, we can allow you to complete the road construction first."

"I'll draw up a contract later, and you just need to sign it. During this period, you won't encounter any troubles. You just need to continue repairing the road as usual."

Originally Qingxia wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but after hearing what the fat man said, she completely gave up this plan.

After all, who would compete with a stupid fat guy!

So after the fat man finished speaking, Qingxia just looked at him expressionlessly and said something.

"Are you done? When you're done I'll..."

Before Qingxia could finish her words, the fat man immediately raised his voice and interrupted her.

"That's unruly! Who gave you permission to interrupt me before I even finished speaking?"

Because she came to the banquet alone, Qingxia could only grit her teeth and endure the scolding from the other party.

Although she really wanted to get angry, Qingxia knew that the current situation was not in her favor, and a wise man would never suffer a loss in front of him.

There is no need to fight for a moment's anger and show off your bravery, which will only make you suffer in vain, so you can only suppress the anger in your heart.

Seeing that Qingxia could only cowardly tolerate, the fat man showed a very satisfied expression on his face.

"Good, now I'm done, you can talk."

"The imperial court's bidding is conducted by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. As for subcontracting, only the president is qualified to sign a contract with you."

Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, the fat man didn't continue to make things difficult for Qingxia.

After that, he just told her to go back and inform Huang Tianfeng to come and see him, and then let Qingxia leave.

Time returns to the present.

After listening to Qingxia's experience, Wei Wu's originally calm eyes flashed with cold light!

Although he didn't say a word, the anger emanating from him made people feel that the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.

Bullying his men is already a capital crime, not to mention that this guy actually dared to rob him.

Don’t you see who Wei Wu is? He is the ancestor of open robbery. He is the only one who robs people, and no one can rob him.

As a result, these people are now actually plotting against him, wanting to get the road without paying a penny.

And he still wants to repair the road before delivering it personally. It's simply like slapping him in the face with the sole of a shoe. It's too much!

If Zhu Yuxuan and Qingxia hadn't been there, Wei Wu, with his explosive temper, would have been unable to hold back his swearing.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Wei Wu finally let out a long breath after more than a minute, looked at Qingxia and said:

"Qingxia, you did the right thing. When the situation is out of control, it's okay to let the other party insult you a few times."

"Only by holding back your anger for a moment can you keep yourself safe. Do you understand?"

Qingxia nodded obediently. Although Wei Wu did not mention revenge, she didn't care at all.

Because she knew very well that her young master's personality was to protect his people, just like the incident with Yuemei, the prostitute in Meiyanlou.

Yuemei, who bullied her at that time, and the security guards who broke her bones, ended up with more miserable ends than each other.

Even the Meiyan Building has become a thing of the past. The once famous Qinhuai River 16th Floor has since become the 15th Floor.

This is how the young master protects his own people!

Wei Wu didn't realize that his words reminded Qingxia of the past.

Seeing that Qingxia didn't say anything, he thought she was feeling aggrieved, so he spoke to comfort her.

"Young Master knows you've been wronged. Don't worry, I'll make those who bullied you pay you back double."
