Just after coming down the mountain, the beautiful CEO took me to register

Chapter 556: The More the Better

The chief secretary watched all this from the side and was secretly surprised - except for Lin Fan, he hadn't seen the mayor treat others with such courtesy for a long time.

As for Lu Zhen and the so-called Lu family, they were nothing in front of Lin Fan.

"Xiao Liu, you can go out first." Ju Gong said.

"No one is allowed to come in and disturb me without my permission."

"Yes, Mayor." The chief secretary replied and stepped back.

After Ju Gong saw the chief secretary leave, he smiled and asked Lin Fan, "Brother, why did you have time to come to see me?"

"For a small matter." Lin Fan answered briefly, took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Ju Gong.

"This is a special supply. Even I have a hard time getting it."

Ju Gong took the cigarette, a hint of envy in his eyes. He knew that he had to make further progress to be eligible for such treatment.

"Here, bro."

Lin Fan took out a cigarette and handed it over: "This is given by Elder Gu."

"Haha, thank you very much. I won't refuse."

Ju Gong accepted it with a smile, knowing that anyone else would never accept it. But he felt a special trust in Lin Fan. As for how Lin Fan got these cigarettes, given his position, he knew a little bit.

"Why should we be polite to each other?"

Lin Fan smiled as he smoked a cigarette and sipped his tea. "Next time I go to the capital, I'll get some more from Old Gu and give you a few. Smoking is bad for that old man, so let's help him share some of the burden."

"Hahaha." Ju Gong smiled without saying anything. He understood Lin Fan's last words but didn't dare to respond.

The two of them puffed away and chatted casually. After a cigarette, Lin Fan got to the point: "I came here for Lu Zhen."

"Lu Zhen? Oh, is that the young man from the Lu family?"

Ju Gong recalled: "Brother Zhou knows him? He should be outside now, right?"

"More than just knowing each other, we even have some grudges against each other." Lin Fan said bluntly.

"Have a grudge? I see. I'll ask Xiao Liu to send him away." Ju Gong reacted immediately.

"is not what it means."

Lin Fan quickly waved his hands: "Although he and I have a conflict, I won't come to you to make things difficult for him just because of this."

"Well, this is not Brother Zhou's style."

Ju Gong nodded in understanding: "Then you have other intentions?"

"Indeed. Lu Zhen brought back a lot of foreign investment this time."

Lin Fan handed over another cigarette: "Several Western forces are involved behind this, and he is working for them."

"Working for Western forces?" Ju Gong's expression became serious.

"That's right, otherwise where would he get so much money? Obviously this isn't the Lu family's money."

Lin Fan explained, "Those Western forces appear to be investing, but in reality they may have ulterior motives, and Lu Zhen is their spokesperson or agent."

"So that's how it is." Ju Gong frowned and thought, if this is true, then Lu Zhen's investment project does need to be re-examined.

Eventually, the truth will surely be revealed.

Since this matter is related to him, then he is naturally involved. Thinking of this, Ju Gong's face became serious. This young man from the Lu family actually had his eyes on him?

"I'm here just to remind Brother Ju that you have to be careful about this matter." Lin Fan said to Ju Gong.

"This kid is really bold." Ju Gong snorted coldly.

"Why don't we arrest him and investigate?" someone suggested.

"Haha, wouldn't that alert the enemy? Besides, the money hasn't been received yet."

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "When it comes to money, the more the better, right?"

Ju Gong's heart moved, and he seemed to understand something: "What do you mean?"

"Haha, who has a grudge against money? Young Master Lu is sincere and wants to invest and serve the country, so of course we should welcome him."

"As for other matters, it's not too late to discuss them after the money arrives." Lin Fan added with a smile.

After thinking for a moment, Ju Gong also smiled knowingly. "Brother Zhou is really smart. This trick is really great."

"In the early stages, we have to give Young Master Lu the green light. In other words, let the money come in first, and then stabilize the situation. Once the money arrives, how to deal with him will depend entirely on Brother Jing's opinion."

Lin Fan said while smoking a cigarette.

"By then, the evidence will be irrefutable, and the Lu family will be powerless to save him even if they want to. If they want to save him, they'll have to pay the price."

"Not only that, maybe the Lu family is also involved."

Ju Gong shook his head and said with a smile: "Such a big thing cannot be done by Lu Zhen alone. The Lu family cannot be uninvolved."

"People in official circles are really cruel."

Lin Fan thought to himself that he had originally only intended to deal with Lu Zhen and extort money from the Lu family. Unexpectedly, Ju Gong had set his sights on the entire Lu family.

"At least we have to make the Lu family bleed!" Lin Fan responded with a smile on his face.

"With this funding, as long as it does not affect national interests, it will be a good thing for Brother Jing." Ju Gong said with satisfaction.

"If this succeeds, I have to thank Brother Zhou for his advice." Ju Gong picked up the teacup with a smile on his face.

"If Brother Zhou hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have realized this kid had such big ambitions!"

"Haha, how could I let Brother Ju fall into the trap?" Lin Fan laughed.

"Come, let's have tea instead of wine and toast Brother Zhou." The two men clinked their glasses, drank the hot tea, and smiled at each other.

"By the way, Brother Gu called just now. Did he mention the dragon head?" Lin Fan asked, putting down his teacup.

"Dragon head? It's never mentioned." Ju Gong asked in confusion.

"What is a dragon head?" Lin Fan looked at the other party in confusion.

"I am holding the dragon head of the Chinese zodiac in my hand now." Lin Fan said softly.

He then looked at Ju Gong and said with a hint of invitation: "I plan to donate it to the country and hope that you can preside over the ceremony. Are you free?"

"Dragon head?"

Ju Gong opened his eyes wide in surprise, then looked at Lin Fan intently: "Brother, this gift is a heavy token of friendship."

He knew what it meant to be chosen as the host of such an important moment.

This is not only a matter of personal honor, but also an opportunity to leave a mark in history.

"Don't be so outspoken."

Lin Fan smiled and replied, "Then it's settled. We'll hold a donation ceremony in Ancheng, and you'll be the host."

"Okay." Ju Gong replied, feeling secretly grateful in his heart.

Today's conversation with Lin Fan had made him feel like he owed a significant debt of gratitude. No wonder Boss Gu had urged him to spend more time with Lin Fan.

"Maybe I'll go to the capital in a while."

Lin Fan sipped his tea and said, "Someone over there has been wanting to see me for a long time. I've already mentioned it to Elder Gu many times. This time, I just can't avoid it."

Upon hearing this, Ju Gong, who was drinking tea, almost dropped the cup, his heart in turmoil.

The person wanted to meet someone—that was an honor many people dreamed of! But Lin Fan seemed unconcerned, even declining to meet him several times.
