Chapter 644 National Prestige and Personal Integrity
emarked thoughtfully. "Judging by the condition of these roads, Ba'an Mountain Circuit must be even more dangerous. If one were to fall off a cliff, there would be no salvation. I don't think you are...Chapter 644 National Dignity and Personal Integrity
No problem, even if I don't act, once the boss Abravich arrives, this guy won't have a good ending either. Whenever he thinks about the cruel acts his big boss has done before, Glass can’t help but shiver.
"What's happening What's going on"
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
A few middle-aged Chinese men in suits and shirts appeared at the entrance of the reception room, led by a tall Russian man.
Zhang Mingqi looked at these people with a cold expression and asked the extremely anxious little secretary standing next to him: "Jemma, didn't I tell you that when these people come into this floor they must report it to me"
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, this... This is Deputy Secretary Liu from the Beijing Municipal Government Office in charge of investment promotion. I... I couldn’t stop him." The little secretary knew she had made a mistake and was therefore stammering. Just now, those people were so intimidating that she really couldn't stop them; she could only follow along.
"General Manager Zhang has such a big ego, not only treating esteemed foreign guests this way but also being domineering at home. Today I've truly seen everything."
At this moment, a man in his late forties sneered and spoke up. He was Liu Shanlin, the vice secretary-general of the municipal government, responsible for attracting investment. He treated foreign clients even better than their own parents, wishing to kneel down and polish their shoes if necessary. However, he had achieved decent results with his investment attraction efforts over the years.
Before Glass entered the Blue Ocean Group, he had sent people to invite Liu Shanlin, adding some embellishments in the process. Upon receiving the news, Liu Shanlin immediately rushed to the Blue Ocean Group, seething with anger.
Liu Shanlin was originally eligible for a promotion. If he managed to attract the Russian Aba Group, it would undoubtedly be another major achievement that could provide him with leverage for his career advancement. He couldn't afford to let such a significant foreign investor slip away. Therefore, when he heard how the Blue Ocean Group treated foreign clients, he was immediately filled with rage.
Seeing this, Glass smiled sinisterly and pointed at Wang Zheng: "Secretary Liu, you're here just in time. Please take a look at my compatriots—one has his leg broken, and another has an earring pierced through his ear, blood flowing profusely! If China is such an investment environment, I will definitely convince our big boss to cancel all investment plans in China!"
This undoubtedly hit Liu Shanlin's weak spot. Wang Zheng hadn't actually kicked the bodyguard's leg to break it; however, with the guard unable to stand due to his muscular spasms, there was no way to verify the truth.
"How can you do this! It's outrageous! Quickly, quickly call an ambulance!" Liu Shanlin urgently shouted.
The people behind him hurriedly dialed the phone; nobody dared to take such a serious situation lightly.
Liu Shanlin’s heart was bleeding. This was the Aba Group from Russia, one of the industry giants there. Now their vice president and company were brutally beaten by Blue Ocean Group personnel until they bled. If this news spread, it would severely damage China's investment environment reputation, causing foreign investors to lose confidence in investing here!
Liu Shanlin mainly focused on attracting foreign investment, and as for completed projects like Lanhai, they had no impact on his political achievements. Therefore, in his mind, the status of Abu Group and Lanhai were completely different.
"You are treating foreigners this way and damaging our national dignity! I will report this immediately!" Liu Shanlin said angrily.
Glasse watched all this with a sneer on his face. The Chinese people always like to fight among themselves, and this suited him just fine.
"National dignity What is that" Wang Zheng stood up and scoffed: "I hate your servile attitude towards foreigners as if they were your fathers. Do you really want to give up your personal integrity for these few Russians Which one is more important, national or personal dignity"
“No matter what, openly beating foreign businessmen severely damages the international image of Beijing. The police will arrive shortly; just wait and see!" Liu Shanlin said with a fierce expression: "I'll see how long you can act this way!”
Liu Shanlin walked up to Glasse, bent slightly at the waist, and respectfully said, “Esteemed Mr. Glasse, I apologize for frightening you. Please rest assured that China is a country governed by rule of law. Such violent acts will certainly be severely punished; they definitely cannot escape legal sanctions. We also ask you and your colleagues to maintain confidence in China's investment environment. We will do our utmost to cooperate with you."
"Secretary Liu is rather warm," Glasse glanced at Wang Zheng sinisterly, then continued his intimidating tone: "Encountering such a situation upon arrival in China has made us feel somewhat disheartened. So Secretary Liu, please give us a satisfactory explanation."
“Certainly, certainly,” listening to Glasse's words, Liu Shanlin was furious at Wang Zheng’s actions; how could this unknown guy suddenly appear and disrupt things at such an important moment!
"You will pay for what you have done!" Liu Shanlin said, pointing at Wang Zheng's nose.
"Those words shouldn't come from a high-ranking government official like yourself," Wang Zheng replied coolly. "Are you really so shameless that you don’t even care about your reputation for the sake of a few foreign investment projects You didn't even bother to understand the reasons behind why this Abra Group is targeting Lanhai Group, yet here you are making accusations. Truly a man without character!"
Receiving such a rebuke, Liu Shanlin flew into a rage: "How dare you speak so rudely"
Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "Are you having trouble understanding what I'm saying I said that you lack character; in other words, you are shameless. Heh heh, it seems to me that you really have no shame."
Hearing this, Glass added fuel to the fire by saying: "Secretary Liu, it looks like your authority has been challenged."
Upon hearing those words, Liu Shanlin's face alternated between red and pale: "Beating up foreign businessmen and causing serious injury is a severely malicious criminal case! The police are coming immediately. I will make sure that you receive the full weight of the law for your shameful actions!"
With continued pressure from Glass, he said: "Moreover, Mr. Abravich, our Abra Group's big boss, is about to arrive in China. If he sees how unfairly and violently we have been treated, he will certainly cancel all investment projects planned for the capital."
Hearing this made Wang Zheng’s hatred towards Liu Shanlin even stronger; if something like that were to happen, it would be a disaster for him as the deputy secretary in charge of attracting foreign investments!ut loud, wouldn’t it mean she wanted him to eat up her tofu Too dangerous, too dangerous."What do you want me to do for you" Wang Zheng replied with a smile that was neither here nor there, thinking o...
