"Hey, I don't dare to accept Mr. Du's words."
"Jewelry from the Du family in the capital is hard to come by. They are snapped up at every auction. Even my family has not bought a few good items."
"In my opinion, Mr. Du has the highest reputation in China. Anyone who meets him should give him half a face."
After Chen Mao finished speaking in a strange tone, Du Zhonglin's face turned the color of pig liver.
He knew that the other party was trying to put on airs on his own. Normally, he might have just smiled and let it pass, at least to give Chen Mao some face.
Moreover, he is still waiting to hug Chen Mao's lap after moving the Du family to the capital, so naturally he will not choke with him.
But today is different from the past. Du Zhonglin doesn't want to think about anything else at the moment, he just wants to find the murderer of his son, so his tone of voice is a little anxious.
"General Chen is flattering me by saying this."
"As long as you take action, those snobbish people in Jiangzhou who flatter others and flatter others will definitely bow their heads."
"I don't have any other demands. I just want the murderer to be brought to justice and my son to pay for it with his life!"
Du Zhonglin said fiercely, and the next second, he approached Chen Mao and whispered: "General Chen is a generous man and will definitely help a small company like mine."
"To express my gratitude, I specially prepared some small gifts for you."
He was minding his own business and grabbed a handful of gems from the backpack he carried with him, spread them out on the coffee table and let Chen Mao look at them.
"These are the best products mined by our company in the first half of the year. If you are interested in them, take some away."
Normally, these top quality products produced by Eucommia ulmoides are indeed hard to find on the market.
Just one or two would be snapped up by many aristocratic families.
Even if you don't keep it for yourself, it will be very grand to give it to others.
But now, Chen Mao didn't even think of taking a look.
"Take the things back with you."
"Our family is all men and we are not interested in jewelry."
Du Zhonglin, who was originally full of confidence, was immediately stunned and did not understand what was going on.
Obviously, the Chen family had communicated with him warmly before, even discussing the details of the company's relocation to the capital.
After a while, Chen Mao's attitude seemed to be that of a new person.
Du Zhonglin was puzzled, but he did not dare to ask openly, so he could only secretly say: "I wonder what else General Chen is interested in? Our company is preparing to expand its business..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Mao waved his hand and said without even looking at him: "Don't be so troublesome. No matter what happens to you, I won't care."
This vaguely superior look almost instantly angered Du Zhonglin.
But he was still thinking about finding an opportunity to avenge his son, so he didn't fall out on the spot, but the smile on his face faded.
"I don't quite understand what General Chen means."
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire living room suddenly became strange, and no one spoke for a long time.
"It's very simple. If something happens to your son in Jiangzhou, you go to the leaders of Jiangzhou. If you are not satisfied with the result, contact the senior officials directly under the jurisdiction of Guangyu Province."
"Guangyu Province is now under the name of the Xuanwu Legion. How do you think I can intervene?"
Chen Mao glanced at Du Zhonglin lightly.
In fact, only he knows that these are just excuses.
The real reason is that Chen Mao noticed the complexity of the case, especially the reaction of the local leaders in Jiangzhou and the Xuanwu Legion, which made Chen Mao feel heavy in his heart.
He had a very bad guess.
Maybe the thoughts he had in mind all along were wrong...
Chen Mao's sudden silence made the atmosphere in the living room even more tense.
Du Zhonglin was stunned by his question, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that these words came from Chen Mao's mouth.
When the two first got in touch, Chen Mao didn't have this attitude.
He was confused and confused, but there were some things he couldn't say out loud.
As a result, the awkward atmosphere spread, and even Chen Xingzhou was a little at a loss.
"Chen, General Chen, my son died unjustly. As a father, I can't really let him go to the ground and die with his eyes open, right?"
"I know what you are saying, but Jiangzhou is doing nothing and the Xuanwu Legion is helping Jiangzhou. I really have no choice!"
Du Zhonglin was crying when he spoke, which showed that he was really anxious.
It was his words that brought Chen Mao back to his senses.
"What did you just say? Xu Qingsong is in cahoots with Jiangzhou Municipal Government?"
Chen Mao suddenly raised his head and looked over like a hawk, which startled Du Zhonglin.
"Huh? Yes, yes."
"The newly appointed Director Du in Jiangzhou speaks arrogantly and even warned me not to cause trouble."
"I originally thought that local forces were colluding with each other, but I didn't expect that when I returned to Guangyu, Xu Guangwei would say similar things."
"I think the Xu family is ruined. People are beating him on the head, and they are allowing other provincial and municipal governments to bully us."
Du Zhonglin was like pouring beans, talking a lot.
Basically, they suffered losses from Jiangzhou and Xu Guangwei.
Finally taking a chance to take a breath, Chen Mao was caught off guard and asked: "You mean, you didn't talk to Xu Qingsong directly, and it was his grandson who answered your call?"
"That's right, it's Xu Guangwei. That guy is quite arrogant and speaks in a condescending manner."
"It's like owing him money."
Du Zhonglin seized the opportunity and complained, but Chen Mao's focus was not here.
"Okay, I can't help you with this matter. If you don't care about things directly under the military region, most other places won't care about you, so give up."
Chen Mao pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and waved to Du Zhonglin, telling people to get out.
"General Chen! You can't do this! My son died unjustly. As long as you are willing to take action across the city... no, a search across China will definitely find the murderer!"
"As long as you help me this time, I am willing to give 30% of the Du family's revenue to the Chen family in the future!"
Seeing that Chen Mao was indifferent, Du Zhonglin gritted his teeth and said loudly: "50%! I'll give you half of it. Even if you want to annex the Du family, I won't say anything!"
"My son died tragically. I can't let him be killed like this without even the murderer being traced!"
However, no matter how he tried to persuade him, Chen Mao still refused.
Question, the cross-regional service process is troublesome.
At this moment, Du Zhonglin felt that his sky was about to collapse.
"Xingzhou, see you off."
Chen Mao waved his hands impatiently.
He was also hungry and aching, but he didn't feel comfortable because he didn't understand some things.
At this time, he didn't know that in a few hours, all the advantages of Du Zhonglin would disappear one by one.
The capital has also changed quietly.
Often the higher you climb, the higher you fall.
Du Zhonglin shouted loudly and was asked to leave by the security. Chen Xingzhou frowned and returned to Chen Mao, puzzled: "Dad, why don't you agree?"
"Isn't it a pity that we finally got on the line with the Du family?"
"Du Zhonglin is willing to be annexed by us..."
