Chapter 278 Arrogant Zhang Jingyang
Chapter 278 Arrogant Zhang Jingyang
Lu Zhenting chose the hotel's reception hall as the venue for the welcome party for the supervision team, which is the hotel's most upscale banquet box.
Before the banquet started, Lu Zhenting found Lu An and Niu Jun as agreed, and took them to a room that had been prepared earlier, where piles of gift boxes were neatly stacked.
"These are the local specialties prepared for the comrades in the supervision team."
Lu Zhenting introduced them to Lu An and even picked up one and opened it. It was filled with hundred-dollar bills.
Niu Jun’s eyes widened.
As a child of a wealthy family, Niu Jun had seen the world, but a room full of cash was beyond his imagination.
He swallowed hard and said in disbelief, "These...local specialties are all like this?"
Lu Zhenting smiled and was quite satisfied with Niu Jun's shocked reaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
But preparing so many "local specialties" still made him feel painful.
Holding back the pain, Lu Zhenting said proudly that these were the local specialties he had carefully prepared to express his respect and support for the supervision team.
At the same time, Lu Zhenting also emphasized that he had prepared more abundant local specialties for the two commissioners.
Lu An waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. Just pile them together here. Commissioner Niu and I will distribute them later."
Lu Zhenting nodded and agreed. He handed the key to Lu An and told Lu An that he had booked the box and no one could enter without the key.
Lu An raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Lu, thank you for your concern."
After locking the door and leaving the room filled with local specialties, Niu Jun could no longer hold back and said, "I was just suspicious before, but now I can be completely sure that this old guy Lu Zhenting is definitely involved in the case!"
Are you kidding? In this era when the average salary is around 100 yuan and people with an annual salary of 10,000 yuan can be commended, this room full of local specialties is worth at least several million yuan. If you say that there is nothing wrong with Lu Zhenting, I would never believe it even if you beat me.
Lu An smiled and said, "So this is a clue, isn't it?"
Niu Jun suddenly realized: "Boss Lu, you are stinging!"
"I guess so." Lu An said casually.
Lu An knew about the two key figures, Yang Shifeng and Lu Zhenting, from the very beginning, but some things have to have an end, and he couldn't just come here and arrest them directly, that would be too unreasonable.
Niu Jun then asked when the people would be arrested, but he shook his head to reject the suggestion.
"It's not possible now. We don't have any evidence and we can't alert the enemy easily. Besides, we still haven't dealt with Zhang Jingyang and those little bastards." Niu Jun said.
Lu An held the key tightly and told him to relax. Since he dared to do this, he must have made a plan.
"From now on, just be patient and wait and see!" Lu An said.
Lu An brought Niu Jun to the banquet box of the guesthouse. When they arrived there, all the members of the supervision team including Zhao Hu, Zhang Long and Zhang Jingyang were already waiting there.
It’s just that Zhao Hu, Zhang Long and other people from the Jianghuai Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission sat on one side, while Zhang Jingyang and other people from the compound sat on the other side, which was quite clear.
Seeing Lu An and Niu Jun coming in, Zhang Jingyang stood up and asked first: "Brother Jun is here, I wonder where you plan to sit?"
This question was quite hurtful. As the eldest of the children from the compound and also their supervisory commissioner, where else could Niu Jun sit?
It was obvious that Zhang Jingyang asked this question deliberately in order to label Niu Jun as a reactionary.
Niu Jun glared and was about to lose his temper, but Lu An spoke first, "Commissioner Niu, you go over first."
Lu An and Niu Jun then sat down in their respective areas.
As soon as Lu An sat down, he turned around and asked Zhao Hu what had happened just now.
Zhao Hu didn't want to say it at first, but after Lu An's repeated questioning, Zhao Hu explained that it was just that Zhang Jingyang and the kids from the big courtyard spoke a little rudely, and there was no other problem.
"After all, they are all from big courtyards, not on the same level as us, so it's normal for them to have some temper."
Zhao Hu did not dwell on this topic for long, and immediately asked how Lu An and Niu Jun talked, "Can Commissioner Niu convince the children of the compound?"
Lu An did not answer this question.
In fact, there was no need to answer, because the answer was quickly given by the next table not far away.
Snapped!
Niu Jun slammed the table and stood up, angrily scolding: "Zhang Jingyang, don't go too far, did I give you face?"
Zhang Jingyang stood up and responded without fear: "Isn't what I said the truth?"
"Brother Jun, I still say the same thing. If you can stand on the side of the brothers, think about the brothers, and help the brothers take the lead, the brothers will certainly obey you."
"But look at you now, you're actually hanging out with Jiang Huai's group? How can your brothers obey you?"
Damn it!
Niu Jun then looked around at the others and said, "So you all stand on Zhang Jingyang's side too. Are you all going to rebel against me?"
Faced with Niu Jun's question, the young men in the compound lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look Niu Jun in the eye.
No one answered, but the answer was already obvious.
Even Lu An was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this kid named Zhang Jingyang was so capable. He squeezed out Niu Jun, the boss of the compound and the supervisor, in such a short time.
At this time, the door of the box was suddenly opened, and Lu Zhenting led a group of people into the box.
What happened?
Lu Zhenting was obviously a little surprised when he saw the situation in the box where arrows were drawn and crossbows were drawn.
Only then did the young men from the compound stand up to smooth things over, saying that it was just a trivial matter among their brothers and they could talk about the details after dinner so as not to hurt the harmony.
Then he pulled Niu Jun and Zhang Jingyang to sit down separately.
Lu Zhenting led his men to toast Lu An and Niu Jun, and introduced that the people he brought were all big bosses doing foreign trade in Wushan, as well as comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission and Customs, all of whom came to welcome the comrades from the supervision group.
Then these people raised their glasses one by one, complimented Lu An and his team for their hard work, and promised to cooperate with the supervision team's work.
The entire welcoming banquet was filled with harmony and joy.
Although they were all young people, in the officialdom, everyone understood what this dinner was about, so they were able to control themselves well.
"Finally, I wish the leaders of the supervision team all the best, hope that the case can be solved as soon as possible, and that Wushan Economic and Trade Zone can have a bright future!"
The dinner ended with Lu Zhenting's final passionate speech.
Lu Zhenting then said that he had booked a private room in the nightclub, but this time Lu An reminded them of their identity as the supervisory group. They could have meals, but not other entertainment activities.
Only then did Lu Zhenting react and took his men away.
Originally, after Lu Zhenting and the others left, the dinner should have ended, but Lu An and Niu Jun pulled Zhang Jingyang aside together.
"Friend, do you dare to come over and talk with us?" Lu An asked directly.
Zhang Jingyang raised his chin and said, "Go ahead. Am I afraid of you?"
But even though he said that, he turned around and shouted to the others: "I'm going to have a chat with the two commissioners!"
This little cowardly thought made Lu An laugh: "Okay, we are supervisors, not some gangsters, we won't take your life."
"Even if it's me, I'm not afraid of you!"
Zhang Jingyang said it very confidently, but when he knew what he was going to face, he regretted going on the pirate ship...
