Chapter 1896: Chapter 1896

Ji Dengke stared at Han Zhenhua, observing his expression, worried that he might impulsively report it to the police.

"Report it to the police!" Han Zhenhua was furious. Those bastards, they actually drugged me and set me up.

"Chairman Han, don’t be impulsive." Ji Dengke appeased him.

"They drugged me; this matter isn’t over!"

"Chairman Han, reporting to the police requires evidence. No one can prove it was them who drugged you, and they won’t admit it. Besides, what you took was probably Viagra, which isn’t an illegal substance. Although I heard their conversation in the restroom, there were no recordings, so we have no evidence to prove anything."

He explained clearly and finally sighed, "We have no evidence."

Hearing this, Han Zhenhua became even angrier. Suffering a loss and having to swallow it down.

He had never endured such humiliation.

"Chairman Han, this isn’t Gusu, it’s Jinling," Ji Dengke reminded again, "They say officials protect each other, and without evidence, even if you report it, the police won’t bother with us. At worst, we just won’t cooperate with them in the future."

"Bastards!" Han Zhenhua cursed in frustration.

Ji Dengke lit a cigarette for him, and after he finished smoking, his mood slightly calmed down.

"Chairman Han, let’s head back."

This time, Han Zhenhua didn’t say anything impulsive. He took a taxi with him back to the hotel.

As Han Zhenhua swiped his card to enter the room, Ji Dengke suddenly whispered from behind, "Chairman Han, do you need any arrangements?"

The effects of the medicine he took were still strong, and he worried that Han Zhenhua might be too excited to sleep all night.

Han Zhenhua thought for a moment and said, "Arrange for two."

At their level as executives, they weren’t shy about women like ordinary men.

Spending money to solve personal issues was very commonplace for them.

"Okay."

Ji Dengke returned to his room and found a number on his phone that specialized in providing such resources.

Such people had resources nationwide.

Although the cost was a bit high, it was safe and clean.

He arranged for two for Han Zhenhua and ordered one for himself.

During the wait, he called Jiang Zhengdong, "It’s settled."

Jiang Zhengdong inquired about some details and then hung up.

A few minutes later, the call reached Song Guanchao.

Upon learning the details of the incident, Song Guanchao was very satisfied.

The plan was perfect.

With such an incident occurring, Han Zhenhua would certainly eliminate Luzhou City from his list.

Jiangzhou City’s opportunity thus became greater.

Next, he planned to increase the frequency of contact to gain Han Zhenhua’s favor.

Barring any surprises, they should soon secure Ligong Electronics.

The next day.

Han Zhenhua slept until midday. When he got out of bed, he felt completely exhausted, his legs weak and unstable.

Taking advantage of the drug’s effects last night, he became a tireless machine, performing repetitive mechanical actions.

After washing up, he changed into clean clothes and called Ji Dengke to go out for a meal together.

They went to a nearby restaurant, and while waiting for the food, Ji Dengke said, "Chairman Han, Director Song from Jiangzhou City called me again today."

"Jiangzhou..." Han Zhenhua thought, "What are their conditions?"

When they met in the private room that day, only Han Zhenhua made demands, without giving Wu Qiangwei and the others a chance to propose theirs.

So he still didn’t know what conditions Jiangzhou City offered.

"Much better than Luzhou’s conditions." Ji Dengke’s words were very skillful.

In reality, Jiangzhou’s conditions weren’t much different from other cities.

But phrasing it that way made it seem unremarkable.

Compared to Luzhou City’s conditions, the difference became evident.

Plus, Han Zhenhua’s experiences from last night made him more favorable towards Jiangzhou.

Han Zhenhua indeed followed this train of thought.

Moreover, Jiangzhou had always been his most favored city apart from Luzhou.

Observing Han Zhenhua’s reaction, Ji Dengke continued, "I specifically investigated and compared, and found that Jiangzhou City’s political climate is much better than Luzhou’s."

"Oh? How so?"

"Chairman Han surely remembers Director Song?"

"I remember."

"He’s very young," Ji Dengke said. "He’s only 29 this year. But Chairman Han, do you know his rank?"

Han Zhenhua’s eyes questioned.

Ji Dengke said, "He’s a deputy director! And in the Provincial City too! The Director of the City Government Office holds significant power!"

"And that Mayor Wu is only in his early thirties this year too."

"Jiangzhou can promote so many young cadres, showing the leadership’s inclusiveness and desire for change."

"I think, compared to Luzhou’s geographical location, the political climate is more important."

Ji Dengke seemed impartial and objective, but in reality, if you understood, other cities also had young cadres like Song Guanchao and Wu Qiangwei.

Han Zhenhua didn’t sense his ulterior motives, but instead found his analysis reasonable, absorbing every word.

"The political climate..."

"Cadre rejuvenation..."

Han Zhenhua muttered, contemplating throughout the meal.

Ji Dengke stopped there, not continuing further, as doing so would seem too deliberate.

After lunch, Han Zhenhua said, "These next two days, visit Jiangzhou for an assessment."

Ji Dengke was secretly delighted, nodding calmly, "Just Jiangzhou? What about other cities?"

Han Zhenhua shook his head, "Jiangzhou is enough."

Instantly, Ji Dengke knew that Han Zhenhua had started leaning towards Jiangzhou.

As long as he returned from the assessment confidently, their company would very likely settle in Jiangzhou directly.

Oh, wait.

Given Han Zhenhua’s personality, he would surely visit himself once more to verify what was said further.

...

"Director Song, good news. Mr. Ji just called and said Han Zhenhua wants him to go to Jiangzhou for an assessment. It seems Han Zhenhua is very keen on Jiangzhou!"

Jiang Zhengdong reported the good news to him.

Song Guanchao said, "Send me his number."

"Just a moment."

After getting the number, Song Guanchao immediately called.

"Mr. Ji, is it convenient to take the call?" Song Guanchao asked softly.

"Director Song?" Ji Dengke recognized his voice.

"It’s me." Song Guanchao said with a smile, "I heard from Mr. Jiang that you’re coming to Jiangzhou for an assessment?"

"Tomorrow."

"Then I’ll arrange someone to connect with you."

"No need," Ji Dengke said, "I won’t be contacting local leaders in Jiangzhou. Chairman Han wants the real situation of Jiangzhou City. In this respect, I won’t fake it. After all, this concerns our company’s development. I hope Director Song understands."

"Completely understood," replied Song Guanchao. "Save my number, and if you need any help while in Jiangzhou City, feel free to contact me."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Song Guanchao immediately called Wu Qiangwei to share the good news with her.
