Chapter 76 Rumors Kill People

Zhou Shui thought for a while and said, "Just let me donate to the museum. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to sign, approve, authenticate, and apply for funds. It may have to wait until the year of the monkey."

When Secretary Gao heard this, his face beamed with joy, and he turned to Deputy Secretary Yan and said, "This Xiao Zhou has some political literacy. By the way, I heard that Xiao Zhou is our Xiao Jin's last fiancé?"

Deputy Secretary Yan nodded and said, "Yes."

Secretary Gao made a gesture of envy: "A good daughter, a good son-in-law who does what he wants. Man, what more can I ask for?" This made Zhou Shui happy.Immediately, his favor for Secretary Gao increased a lot.

After chatting casually for a few more words, Secretary Gao and his party left.Zhang Kejian stayed for a while longer, pulled Zhou Shui aside, and whispered to Zhou Shui, "Xiao Shu...I want to give up."

Zhou Shui was silent for a while, and said: "Xiao Shu is your true wife, it is because of cause and effect, there is nothing wrong with it." Zhang Kejian sighed softly, but still firmly shook Zhou Shui's hand.

After seeing off Secretary Gao and his party, the second unexpected guest came—Lu Tong and his son.The two seemed to be deliberately avoiding Secretary Gao and the others.Sister Ma didn't show up just now, unlike before, Sister Ma still has a very accurate grasp of her role.

When Zhou Shui saw Mr. Lu Zhe, he immediately thought of Sister Ma in his mind.I said in my heart: We will meet in a while, if Sister Ma blows up, it will be troublesome.Even Zhang Kejian kept secret about what happened last time. The father and son are not something that Sister Ma can handle.

What Zhou Shui never expected was that Sister Ma ran over chattering all the way.Running in front of Lu Zhe, he fell into the old habit of patting his shoulder again. While patting, he said, "Old Lu, you old guy, why are you living younger and younger? With your black hair, people will believe you are my son." .”

Sister Ma's words startled Zhou Shui.In front of Lu Tong, these words made this father's step down.At first, Lu Zhe was a little embarrassed.But seeing Sister Ma's happy face, Lu Zhe let go.Said: "Little Ma, Xiao Ma, your son is as old as me, so you will become an old witch?"

Sister Ma laughed, pointed at Lu Tong and asked, "Is our son?"

Lu Zhe deliberately stood in front of Lu Tong: "No, let me tell you, my son."

Sister Ma curled her lips: "You're stingy, and I won't steal from you."

Lu Zhe looked at Sister Ma with a smile: "Why? There is a small flower on the chest, isn't it a dog's tail flower?"

Sister Ma said with a smile: "It depends on who you are welcoming, and you are also matched with a dog's tail flower."

These few conversations made Zhou Shui completely relieved, but another idea came up again: Is Lu Zhe the culprit of Sister Ma's bankruptcy? .

At this time, it was Zhou Shui's turn to speak: "Uncle Lu, has this trivial matter bothered you?"

Lu Zhe said, "I really didn't come here for you this time."

Sister Ma took up the conversation and introduced to Zhou Shui: "Our old friend, would he dare to come for such a big event? Believe it or not, I dare to go to Hanhua to bring this old boy here."

Lu Zhe said again: "Sister, don't mind, half and half are cheering for you."

Sister Ma was also a little surprised: "Is there anything else?"

Lu Zhe nodded and sighed.At this moment, Lu Tong winked at Zhou Shui from behind his father.Zhou Shui said to Sister Ma: "You can accompany Uncle Lu to sit in the room for a while, I have something to do, I want to trouble Lu Tong."

Lu Tong pulled Zhou Shui all the way to the small parking lot at the entrance of the alley.Today, Lu Tong drove an Audi. Lu Tong helped Zhou Shui open the door, and Zhou Shui sat in the back seat.Lu Tong went around from the rear of the car and also sat in the back seat.

Lu Tong's first sentence said: "Brother Zhou, I'm finished, I'm really finished, you must save my little brother."

Zhou Shui was taken aback: "What's going on? Don't worry, speak slowly."

Lu Tong let out a long sigh and said, "My dad is crazy, completely crazy."

Zhou Shui was even more surprised: "No way, when I saw your father just now, my face was in an uproar. Especially when I had a conversation with Sister Ma, I was quick in thinking and answered well. Are you crazy? Absolutely impossible."

Lu Tong smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhou, that's not what I said. Do you know? A few days ago, the old man issued a statement in Qinyang Daily, saying that Hanhua Company would donate an iron bridge to the society, cable-stayed, two-way, four-lane , with an estimated investment of 8000 million."

Zhou Shui nodded: "I know, but..."

Lu Tong waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Shui: "Listen to me first, the fourth phase of Hanhua Mansion needs a lot of money. There was a reserve land by the sea, so I had no choice but to sell it to Sister Ma. The total amount is one [-] million, this money can barely complete the fourth phase of development of Hanhua Mansion.”

When Lu Tong said this, Zhou Shui was taken aback.He interrupted Lu Tong and said, "Wait, you have no choice but to sell the land by the sea to Sister Ma? Before, you didn't know that a military port was going to be built nearby?"

Lu Tong's face was uglier than crying, and he said, "My dear brother, do you believe in such rumors? Rumors kill people."

Zhou Shui thought for a while and asked again: "In this case, why did you give such a small amount of money to Sister Ma?"

Lu Tong replied: "Now the government is trying its best to suppress housing prices, and the land was bid in the form of a holiday apartment a few years ago. I had no experience at that time. Building a high-rise on pure sandy land, the cost of the foundation alone has reached unacceptable To the point. Another breakwater needs to be built to complete the green area. Let’s put it this way, after this project is completed, not to mention making money, even saving capital is an extravagant hope.”

Zhou Shui completely understood now - Lu Tong and his son did not deceive Sister Ma maliciously, even if they did, they were controlled above the moral bottom line.This is not the fault of the Lu family's shrewdness, but the fault of Sister Ma's ignorance.Thinking of this, Zhou Shui became more fond of the Lu family and his son.

Lu Tong added: "8000 million can win that bridge? No one would believe it. I took people on site to investigate, and conservatively speaking, the budget would be [-] million."

Zhou Shui looked at Lu Tong and said, "The wind has already let out, so don't worry about building or not."

Lu Tong sighed: "It's too late to say anything, I'm afraid this bridge is a bottomless pit. Hanhua, who was directly tired, fell into the quagmire."

Zhou Shui imagined in his mind: If Hanhua Company can pay 8000 million yuan, the remaining part can apply for government investment.There are three reasons: First, after the completion of this bridge, there will be three bridges on the Qin River, and the three main roads in Qinyang City will have bridges leading directly to neighboring cities, which will greatly divert the capacity of the two old bridges. Alleviate the congestion of vehicles crossing the river.The second is that Secretary Gao has just taken office and urgently needs to show some political achievements. Building bridges is the best choice, and there is no political risk at all.The third is that the voice of Hanhua investing 8000 million yuan in the construction of the bridge has already been shouted out.If you think about it deeply, you have already kidnapped the Qinyang government—everyone from Hanhua has come out, and the government doesn't even have the sincerity to take a small leader, so Secretary Gao basically lost Qin Yang's popular support.

Zhou Shui told Lu Tong his thoughts, and Lu Tong thought about it, and he also thought that this method is the best solution so far.

In fact, Zhou Shui has been working hard to get rid of "political participation".Although some interventions took place at Zhou Shui's extreme reluctance, things often backfired.For example, the conversation between him and Lu Tong now.
