"Isn't this an unreasonable disaster? Who do you think I have offended?" Hong Tao's head was almost spinning, and he couldn't think of anyone he had offended. This kind of hatred is not a small hatred. Who has such hatred against him? Hong Tao got busy the next day, making phone calls one after another. He asked all the buddies with whom he usually had a good relationship, just one sentence: Think about it for me, who have I offended? And he got a variety of answers, and most of them said: You have offended me! As a result, after talking for a day, I still couldn't come to a conclusion, even if I narrowed down the scope, I didn't succeed. "Oh I made a bad friend I didn't even say a serious word at the critical moment!" Hong Tao has already called almost all the numbers on his mobile phone. There are only two people he has not dialed yet, one is Zhou Xiaoli and the other is Liu Xiaomei. . "Liu Xiaomei!!!" Hong Tao looked at the phone number and suddenly thought of something in his mind. He seemed to have heard someone say that Liu Xiaomei's husband worked in a major ministry, and he was not a young official. Could it be him! ? "Uncle Liu, I want to ask you something" Hong Tao thought about it for a long time and decided to call Boss Liu to ask. This is not a trivial matter. "Oh, didn't I tell you just now? You offended me. I have to scold you three times every night before I can sleep. Oh, by the way, you said you were going to the United States to participate in a fishing competition. Why don't you come to Toronto by the way? Well, your fat uncle and I invite you to watch a strip show. We found a good one" Boss Liu's voice was very noisy, and it seemed that the old man was not idle either. "Uncle Liu, another day, another day, another day I will invite you to visit the Netherlands. I want to ask you, in which unit does Xiaomei's husband work?" Hong Tao couldn't talk around boss Liu in this situation, so he had to tell the truth. . "Xiaomei's husband? Why are you asking him?" The drunkenness in Boss Liu's tone immediately disappeared. "Oh, I want to ask him to do something for me, a small thing. A small thing!" Hong Tao made up a lie. "It's a trivial matter! You even lied to your Uncle Liu, right? It's such a trivial matter that you can think of asking for Xiaomei's husband. Do you think I'm a fool? Either you tell me the truth, or I hang up the phone. "Boss Liu obviously didn't let Hong Tao fool him. "Hey, don't, don't, don't! I'm having some trouble at the reservoir. I want to find someone I know at the Ministry of Water Resources to see if they can help me solve it." Hong Tao still didn't tell the whole truth. There's no way to tell the truth. I can't. Say I suspect your daughter is working with her husband to hack me! "Xiaomei's husband is indeed from the Ministry of Water Resources. I remember I told you that he is a junior director. But tell me your trouble first. Your reservoir will soon be awarded a certificate of environmental protection pacesetter. Why don't you send someone to test whether it's contamination? What trouble can Mr. Pan help you solve? "Boss Liu still didn't believe Hong Tao's words and insisted on asking. clear. "Don't worry about it. I have Xiaomei's phone number myself. I'll go ask her. It's nothing serious. It's just a matter of procedure. You and Uncle Fatty can have a good time. I'll hang up first!" Hong Tao When he saw that his secret was about to be exposed, he quickly hung up the phone. After Hong Tao hung up the phone, he hesitated for a long time and finally dialed Liu Xiaomei's number. He didn't want Liu Xiaomei to do this. But he had a feeling that Liu Xiaomei might have done this. Her character and conditions met, and he had indeed offended her. It's quite offending. "Hellowho is that!?" The call was connected, and the moment Liu Xiaomei's voice came out of the phone, Hong Tao's heart sank. He understood from Liu Xiaomei's knowing tone. He could hear a feeling of elation. He didn't believe that he had just left his phone number again a few months ago and then she deleted it. She knew that he would definitely call her and was waiting for him to beg her. Well, as for whether the problem can be solved by asking for mercy, Hong Tao is not very sure. This woman is not small-minded, and her thinking is different from ordinary people. "Oh, I'm Hong Tao, I want to ask you something." Hong Tao tried to speak calmly. "I'm busy right now. If you have anything, please call Hua Miao and make an appointment with her to meet and chat at Alice's house. 88" Liu Xiaomei didn't give Hong Tao a chance to speak at all, and hung up after saying that. Telephone. Hong Tao was stunned for a while and did not call her again. It became clear that she was waiting for him to beg her a few more times. Then when he arrived at Alice's house, she might have to embarrass him in some way. After she has had enough fun, she can solve her own problem. As for whether it is appropriate to do so, whether it is worth it or not, it is not her need to consider at all. The difference between her and ordinary people's thinking is here, she is willing to do that It's a lose-lose thing, and you never tire of it. Play with her, she will torment you until you talk nonsense, it is difficult to grasp the sense of propriety, because she has noA plan is just based on my mood at the time. If you don't play with her, there will be no solution to this matter. Even if Boss Liu intervenes, she will refuse to admit it and no one can do anything to her. After all, Boss Liu is her father, and it is impossible for Hong Tao to do anything to her. , and Hong Tao couldn't produce any evidence that she was behind it, so it was impossible to ask Boss Liu to do anything. Do you want to lower your head? This is what Hong Tao needs to consider. If you lower your head, you will lose all face, but you can save millions of investments. If you don't lower your head, I'm afraid this investment will be thrown away, and not much can be recovered. It can't be subcontracted, and no one will seriously consider this matter. Unless you can find a bigger and more powerful official in the Ministry of Water Resources, you can solve this matter peacefully. But where to find it? If you ask someone to help you, you may be able to find it. If there is no particularly big benefit to competing with your colleagues, who will do it for you? Even if you are his relative, it is enough, unless you are his son. "Irene, Pan, come with me, I have something to tell you." Hong Tao smoked two cigarettes silently, then went to the front yard, called Irene and Pan back, and waited for them to enter the house. He quickly locked the door. "Why did you interrupt the door?" Irene felt that Hong Tao was a little abnormal, but Pan didn't say a word. "I want to end the investment in the reservoir, and all losses will be mine. What do you think?" Hong Tao said a word without thinking. "End the investment!? I lost a lot of money this time. Has it reached that point now? I think the responsibility for the approval procedures is not entirely yours. Both parties were at fault when the contract was signed. We can talk about it later! "Irene couldn't sit still. She didn't want to invest millions of dollars, and she didn't work hard to get it. It was difficult for her to understand what Hong Tao meant. "Do you know who is harming you?" Pan was so arrogant that she didn't ask about investment at all, but asked another question. "I'm just guessing. There is no evidence now, and I guess I won't be able to get the evidence. This is what I think. Let's make two preparations first. Irene will go through the legal procedures and try to fight for it, but I think it is unlikely. Even if we fight for it, If we come down, we will offend everyone, and we will suffer even more severe retaliation in the future. We cannot afford to deal with them. On the other hand, I was really tired of this matter. I still thought too much at the beginning. It's simple, but I don't regret it. At least I tried hard, but I just wasn't capable enough. The only thing that makes me feel guilty is that I dragged you along and suffered the same. You could have ignored it, and you were always there. Stop me. It's okay to end it now. Fortunately, the investment is not big and I can still afford it. It's not too late to end it. What do you think?" Hong Tao didn't say who was behind it, he just said his own. idea. "I have no objection to your decision, but I want to know who is harming you, and I have the right to know, because I am your wife!" Irene did not listen to Hong Tao this time. She was very insistent on matters of principle. "You know her. We hunted together in Canada." Hong Tao felt that there was nothing to hide from Irene, and she did have the right to know that there should be unconditional trust between husband and wife to avoid laying hidden dangers for the future. "Is it the Ms. Liu who came here a few months ago?" Before Irene could react, Pan already knew who it was. "You really shouldn't be a businessman. Instead, you should go to the Federal Constitutional Protection Service. You will become an excellent spy." Only now did Hong Tao realize that what Pan said was probably true. She was about to get herself thoroughly investigated. , maybe she has contact with Zhou Xiaoliu. When he went to the United States to get married, this woman had a very good relationship with Zhou Xiaoli. Hong Tao didn't believe that she didn't ask Zhou Xiaoli about her past. "Do you still know about the Constitutional Protection Bureau? Okay, let's stop joking and let's get down to business. I only investigated you out of responsibility and a little curiosity, and I have never harmed you." Pan was not embarrassed at all, and still He planned to quarrel with Hong Tao, but after seeing Hong Tao's unlucky look, he changed his mind. "Why did she want to harm you? Is it because you are not married to her? Is there something else you haven't told me?" Irene also knew who it was. She also heard Hong Tao talking to her about the relationship between Hong Tao and Liu Xiaomei. Yes, but she doesn't understand, she wants revenge just because of this? She also began to suspect that Hong Tao was hiding something from her. "I'm afraid it's because of this. Women sometimes don't think rationally. When she was in Canada, she was not a rational person." Hong Tao thought for a while, and he really didn't hide anything from Irene. What should I say? I¡¯ve said everything I should, and I¡¯ve also said what I shouldn¡¯t have said. PS: The new book "Rebirth and Into the Dream" has started to be uploaded. You can check it out.
