Chapter 3138 Rumors

It was already 2:30 in the afternoon when Ji Feng and Zhang Lei boarded the plane. At this time, half a day had passed since they left the Shen's house.

"Ding dong!"

Zhang Lei's cell phone rang suddenly, he took it out to look at it, then shook his head slightly, and put the cell phone back.

"Whose text message?" Ji Feng asked.

"Jingyi sent it, saying she will go back in a few days." Zhang Lei said.

Ji Feng frowned and said: "Don't be awkward with Jingyi, this matter has nothing to do with her from the beginning to the end."

He didn't want Zhang Lei to have conflicts with the Shen family because of the matter of borrowing martial arts. As he said before, whether Shen Jiucheng wanted to borrow martial arts or not, that was his freedom. Besides, Ji Feng knew very well that it was so rash To borrow martial arts to learn mental methods, if it were him, I'm afraid he would hesitate.

Although Shen Jiucheng's actions made him a little helpless, it was not enough to make him angry.

Zhang Lei said: "Of course I know, lunatic, don't ask about this matter. Since Jingyi's father is unwilling to borrow it, then pretend that this matter has never happened, and you can think of other ways."

Ji Feng nodded and smiled, "That's right."

But he didn't know that Zhang Lei had actually been let out in private.

...

Shen family.

Because Zhang Lei and Ji Feng had already left, they just ate some for lunch. Originally, the nanny at home planned to cook a large table of dishes as before, but Shen's mother was not in the mood.

This made Shen Jiucheng feel a little unhappy. It was fine for his daughter to have a childish tantrum, and even his wife didn't understand him. He casually picked up half a bowl of rice and planned to go to the company.

"Clang..."

Just when Shen Jiucheng was about to leave, his mobile phone rang suddenly. The call was from the secretary. As soon as he answered the phone, he heard the secretary's anxious voice: "Chairman, it's not good. The bidding office came to notice that our bid was unqualified and we needed to do it again.”

"Tender?"

Shen Jiucheng was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "You mean the land in Xiwan?"

The secretary said, "Yes, Chairman."

"The bid failed?!"

Shen Jiucheng's brows immediately frowned, how could this be possible, when the tender was made, it was strictly in accordance with the prescribed format, and it was made by specialized personnel, why was it unqualified?

He immediately asked, "Did they say what was unqualified?"

The secretary said: "No. I also asked, but the person who called to notify only said that he was unqualified."

Shen Jiucheng pondered for a moment, then said: "I see, I will handle this matter."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jiucheng immediately dialed a phone number, and the call was connected after a while, and he immediately said with a smile: "Director Huang, I'm Shen Jiucheng, I have something I want to consult with you."

"So it's Mr. Shen, please tell me." A man's voice came from the phone.

Shen Jiucheng was stunned for a moment. The tone of Director Huang's speech was not right. You know, he and Director Huang of the bidding office are acquaintances. We have been together many times just drinking and eating. Jiu Chengcheng didn't need to go out to socialize in person anymore. If there was any problem with the bidding, Director Huang would take the initiative to call or send someone over to explain the situation.

But what does it sound like now? Director Huang seems to know that it was him who called after hearing what he said. Could it be that Director Huang didn't save his phone number in his mobile phone?

This is absolutely impossible!

Shen Jiucheng shook his head, a trace of doubts flashed through his mind, and then he smiled and said: "Director Huang, it's like this, just now I received a call from the secretary, saying that our Shen Group is in Xiwan. The bid for the land was unqualified, what's going on?"

Director Huang said: "Oh? Is that so? I don't know much about this matter. The specific tasks are all handled by a special person. Let me ask for you, okay?"

Shen Jiucheng smiled and said, "Okay, then I will trouble you."

"good."

Director Huang said something, and then hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Shen Jiucheng couldn't help frowning, "This old Huang..."

He said politely, but he didn't expect Director Huang to accept it calmly. And there was nothing extra to say, just said a good word, and hung up the phone.

But Shen Jiucheng didn't take it to heart, just sat on the sofa and waited, and picked up a copy of today's newspaper and read it.

However, Shen Jiucheng originally thought that there would be news soon, but he turned out to be second-class. After more than half an hour, he didn't even get a call from Director Huang.

He frowned, picked up the phone again, and called Director Huang, "Director Huang, have you asked what's going on?"

"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, but I'm busy with the work at hand. How about this? I'll ask you before I get off work." Director Huang said.

"Director Huang, I know you are busy with work, but the bidding will start next week. If you don't find out what's wrong as soon as possible, it may affect our group's bidding next week." Shen Jiucheng was a little unhappy, But he still said with a smile, "So, can I trouble you to ask about the situation as soon as possible?"

"Mr. Shen, it's not that I don't help. Although my bidding office is not big, it is in charge of the bidding work of the whole city, so I can't keep busy at all." Director Huang said, "If Mr. Shen is in a hurry, you can go directly to the service hall Go react to the situation, okay?"

"Director Huang, this is..."

"I still have work to do here, so that's it." Director Huang hung up the phone without waiting for Shen Jiucheng to finish speaking.

Shen Jiucheng's face turned dark immediately, especially when he heard the busy tone on the phone, it was so harsh now.

"bureaucracy!"

Shen Jiucheng couldn't help snorting angrily, "Well, your surname is Huang, you are not a big official, and your score is not small, yet you still put up a score in front of me! I want to see it, and the leaders of the city will personally ask about it. , can you still put on a show like this!"

After speaking, he immediately called out another phone number, which was a deputy mayor in charge of construction in the city, and he had a pretty good relationship with the Shen family.

"Mayor Niu, I'm Shen Jiucheng, don't I bother you? That's it, I want to ask you to help me with something..." Shen Jiucheng said the matter with a smile.

"This matter..."

The person on the phone pondered for a while, and said: "Mr. Shen, according to normal procedures, Director Huang's actions are not wrong, and he is also following the rules. If you have any questions, you can go to the corresponding department for inquiries. There is a meeting, we will contact you later, okay?"

Shen Jiucheng was taken aback for a moment.

"That's it first, I'll hang up first!" The phone was hung up.

"this……"

Shen Jiucheng was a little stunned. He didn't expect this result, and felt extremely weird in his heart.

It doesn't matter if the other party reacted that way when he called Director Huang. After all, his personal relationship with Director Huang is not very good. At most, he is a friend at the wine table. Director Huang is much better, but he didn't expect that Deputy Mayor Niu would have such a lukewarm reaction, completely businesslike!

"Damn it!"

Shen Jiucheng couldn't help cursing, with anger in his eyes, since Shen Jiucheng took over as the chairman of Shen Group, when has he been rejected like this? Director Huang and Deputy Mayor Niu's lukewarm attitude made him feel ashamed.

With a heavy snort, Shen Jiucheng immediately called the secretary: "You go to the bidding office in person and ask those officials what is wrong with our bid!"

After instructing the secretary, his face was still very ugly, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he picked up the phone and dialed another number: "Jiande, it's me, please help me find out if the Shen family offended Niu Wenlu and Huang Jianshe, call me back as soon as possible."

"Snapped!"

Putting the mobile phone on the coffee table, Shen Jiucheng was sullen, not in the mood to read the newspaper anymore, and sat there without saying a word.

The person he called just now was Shen Jiande, a member of the Shen family in the officialdom of Lanjiang City. Although his position was not very high, he had a promising future.

The weird attitudes of Deputy Mayor Niu and Director Huang made Shen Jiucheng feel that something was wrong, so he asked Shen Jiande to inquire about the situation.

"Clang..."

Just over ten minutes later, the phone rang suddenly, and Shen Jiucheng answered the phone immediately: "Jiande, what do you say?"

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Patriarch, I haven't found out about the situation of Deputy Mayor Niu and Director Huang you mentioned, but I have heard a rumor, and I feel something is wrong."

Shen Jiucheng immediately asked: "What rumors?!"

Shen Jiande said: "Just now I called a friend in the city government office, and he told me that there is a news circulating in the official circles of Lanjiang City that our family has nothing to do with the Tong family in Yanjing. Those news are all boasting of our family, they are putting gold on our face..."

"What?!"

Shen Jiucheng stood up abruptly, "What did you say?!"

Shen Jiande hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There are also people who say that this is simply our family pulling a tiger skin as a banner, and no one in the Tong family has heard of our family..."

"Nonsense!"

Shen Jiucheng snorted angrily, almost roaring, "Who made this rumor? It's clearly pouring sewage on my Shen's house on purpose. It's absolutely disgusting!"

Shen Jiande said cautiously: "Patriarch, I heard from that friend that this news has been spread among the high-level officials in Lanjiang City, and everyone is saying so."

"fart!"

Shen Jiucheng cursed angrily, "It's true if everyone says that? Everyone knows that Mayor Zhao is from Tongjia Online. These rumormongers, aren't they afraid that Mayor Zhao will make trouble for them?"

Shen Jiande was silent for a moment, and then said: "My friend said that a leader specifically asked Mayor Zhao whether the rumor was true or not, and Mayor Zhao..."

"What did he say?" Shen Jiucheng asked in a deep voice.

"He didn't deny it."

"What?"

Shen Jiucheng was stunned.
