Chapter 604 [Pay the Price] (Part 1)

The Nancy Municipal Government unilaterally suspended its cooperation with Xingyue Group and caught Xingyue Group off guard. When this happened, Xingyue’s president Fan Siqi and Lin Peipei were traveling in the capital for a short period of time. After learning about this, she immediately interrupted her trip and hurried back to Nancy. The first person Fan Siqi went to meet was the person in charge of the Deepwater Port Project and Deputy Mayor Gong Qiwei.

Gong Qiwei did not avoid meeting her and received her in his office. Fan Siqi's face looked very bad. After being blocked on the old stadium plot, her attitude began to soften. She actively expressed to the Nancy Municipal Government that she was willing to restart the investment plan unconditionally. The second phase of investment was all in place before the New Year. Gong Qiwei also agreed at that time, but who would have thought that he would suddenly change his mind? Fan Siqi knew that if Xingyue was kicked out of the construction of the deep water port, then their losses would be immeasurable.

Fan Siqi still maintained quite rationality and restraint. Although she was full of resentment towards Gong Qiwei, she knew that this was not the time for an attack, and she was not qualified to get angry in front of Gong Qiwei. Even if she got angry, it would not be able to solve the problem. Fan Siqi said: "Mayor Gong, I would like to ask me an explanation, why did Nancy unilaterally terminate the contract with us?"

Gong Qiwei smiled indifferently and said, "Ms. Fan, we have already made this clear in the statement. As a successful businessman and a director of a multinational company, you should understand the binding force of the contract. Your breach of contract is the first. We only safeguard Nancy's interests in accordance with the provisions of the contract. This is an indisputable fact."

Fan Siqi said: "I have explained to Mayor Gong before, and we have reached an understanding between us. Our company's finances have encountered some problems. I have tried my best. Before the New Year, we were able to complete the second phase of investment funds. We have always been sincere in the construction of the Deepwater Port."

Gong Qiwei said: "Ms. Fan should understand what I mean. Our Nancy Municipal Government has no violations or deliberately targets your company. In fact, you have repeatedly violated the contract provisions. The delay in investment has caused great losses to the Deepwater Port. According to the contract, we have the right to hold you accountable for compensation."

Fan Siqi said: "Mayor Gong, I think the real reason for this is not this!"

Gong Qiwei smiled and said, "What does Miss Fan mean?"

Fan Siqi said: "I heard that if the Lanshan Municipal Government officially develops the Deepwater Port, Nancy must no longer lack funds. Our Xingyue investment will become optional. The contract is just an excuse. Replacing our investment with state-owned investment is the truth." Fan Siqi saw the problem very clearly. When she said this, she felt a pain. She had to admit that it was wrong to use investment to threaten the Nancy Municipal Government. Now she has received a heavy price. The Nancy Municipal Government is telling her in this way that Nancy's right to speak is in whose hands, they can give you the opportunity to make money, and they can also take away this opportunity. Fan Siqi didn't even dare to think carefully about how much the losses they suffered in the Deepwater Port project.

Gong Qiwei said: "Ms. Fan, I hope you will learn from this. At the same time, I hereby solemnly declare to you that we do not mean to your company. The Nancy Municipal Government's attitude towards investors is as always. We welcome all foreign investments that will help both parties develop, but please remember that our premise is mutual benefit, and it is definitely not the kind of interests that are harmed by one party. If you want to succeed in cooperation, both parties must show integrity."

Fan Siqi's eyes turned cold: "Mayor Gong, do you think our Xingyue Group will still invest in Nancy after this incident? How can a government that has lost its integrity gain our trust? I will tell you clearly that we Xingyue will not invest a penny for Nancy!" After confirming that Xingyue is destined to be kicked out, Fan Siqi could no longer control the anger in her heart.

Gong Qiwei smiled and said, "I'm sorry to hear you say this."

Fan Siqi stood up angrily, and her hands and feet were trembling with anger. In fact, she was not angry with Gong Qiwei, nor was she angry with anyone. She was angry with herself. It was her decision-making mistake that led to today's passive situation. Fan Siqi bit her lip and said to Gong Qiwei: "You will regret it, you will definitely regret it."

Gong Qiwei still maintained a humble gentlemanly demeanor: "Ms. Fan, I will not understand your words as a threat, go well!"

Fan Siqi turned around and walked out the door, maybe because she was too disappointed, or because she was so angry that she even forgot to see the situation ahead when she walked, and she bumped into a man coming towards her. The other party was also a woman, oh! She screamed and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the man next to her held her in time. The man said angrily: "How did you walk?"

Fan Siqi was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. She opened her eyes wide and wanted to argue with the other party, but found that the middle-aged beautiful woman she hit was Madame Heather. She had met Madame Heather. When she thought about it carefully, it was because of Xu Jiayong that Madame Heather knew him. It is said that Madame Heather had helped him in the United States.

Mrs. Heather also recognized Fan Siqi and said in surprise: "Madam Xu, how could he meet you here?"

Fan Siqi felt very unfamiliar with the name of Mrs. Xu. No one has called her like this for a long time, and she doesn't like others to call her like this. However, the fundamental reason why Mrs. Heather called her like this is because when she saw her last time, her identity was Xu Jiayong's wife. Fan Siqi sighed and said, "I am no longer a lady Xu. Jiayong has passed away for a long time."

A hint of sentiment appeared in Madame Heather's eyes, and she apologized: "I'm sorry!"

Fan Siqi smiled indifferently and said, "Nothing, Madame Heather, why did you come here?"

Mrs. Heather said: "For the sake of the auction of the stadium plot, I intend to auction the development rights of the Nancy Stadium plot, so I came to the Nancy Municipal Government. However, I just learned that the city has given full rights to the Sports Commission the auction of the stadium plot to the Sports Commission. It seems that I have been in vain."

When Fan Siqi heard the stadium plot, she frowned. The reason why Xingyue was eventually kicked out of the Deep Water Port project was because of this land. If Fan Siqi had not been greedy, she would not have ended today.

Mrs. Heather said: "I heard that Miss Fan is also interested in this land. Did you come here for this matter?" She indeed changed her name to Fan Siqi.

Fan Siqi forced a smile and said, "It's all in the past, I won't participate in the auction." She didn't want to continue talking with Mrs. Heather and was about to say goodbye.

Mrs. Heather said, "Miss Fan, are you free? I want to talk to you for a while. Let's go to the cafe opposite."

Fan Siqi nodded.

The two of them came to Landu Cafe and sat down in the elegant seat on the third floor. Through the window next to them, they could clearly see the full view of the office building of the Nancy Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Mrs. Haysse called a latte and Fan Siqi called a black coffee without sugar. She liked the bitter taste of black coffee, especially at this time, her heart was extremely bitter. Drinking some black coffee can dilute the frustration and pain in her heart.

Mrs. Heather said: "I remember the last time we met, Jiayong was still alive. At that time, he was busy planning to invest in the Deepwater Port."

Fan Siqi took a sip of black coffee silently, and the bitter taste spread from her lips to her throat. In her heart, "The Deep Water Port has nothing to do with our Xingyue. If he knows it in the spring, he should be very unhappy."

Mrs. Heather sighed. She had heard about this before. Xingyue was kicked out of the Deepwater Port project. It was explosive news in Nancy. Investors were a little uneasy because of this. Mrs. Heather said: "Things are unpredictable, and it is not easy to do business with the government."

Fan Siqi didn't say anything.

Mrs. Heather said again: "It is especially difficult for a woman."

Fan Siqi said: "We cannot foresee too many things in this world."

Mrs. Heather said: "Just like Jiayong's death, I remember when he first went to the United States, he was still a ignorant student. I was entrusted by his father to help him. Jiayong values ​​friendship and knows how to repay kindness. Once again, I suddenly wanted to eat Chinese food, but unfortunately it snowed again. He drove through the city and bought it for me. Such an excellent young man, fate is too unfair to treat him." Mrs. Heather's face was filled with sentimentality.

Fan Siqi didn't know why Madame Heather mentioned Xu Jiayong in front of her. She regretted coming here and sighed softly, "I don't want to mention him again. Madame Heather, please forgive me, I'll leave in advance!"

Mrs. Heather nodded, Fan Siqi stood up and walked a few steps, but Mrs. Heather said, "Miss Fan, before Jiayong died, he handed me a document and asked me to keep it on his behalf. I don't think I have the right to open it, should I hand it over to you?"

Fan Siqi's steps stopped, and her heart was beating wildly. Although she turned her back to Madame Heather, Madame Heather still saw her nervousness from her straight back. Fan Siqi finally did not turn her head and whispered: "Forget it, I don't want to see it. Seeing things and thinking about people is just a little sad. Help me burn the documents!" After saying that, Fan Siqi left in a hurry, and her heart was shrouded in a thick shadow. She thought that everything was over after Xu Jiayong's death, but she couldn't imagine that he was still gloomy. Fan Siqi didn't know what the documents were mentioned in Madame Heather's mouth? If Xu Jiayong really left something, then... Fan Siqi almost dared not think about it anymore.

Mrs. Heather looked at Fan Siqi's back as she was leaving coldly, and her eyes were filled with unforgettable hatred. She did not leave immediately. She finished the latte gracefully and turned to the man who was with her and said, "Longgui, do you think she is wrong?"

The man said, "She is very panicked and very scared!"

Mrs. Heather slowly stood up and whispered: "If you don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, this world will be retribution. No matter how perfect you do things, no matter whether you leave any evidence, as long as you have done it, you will be known."

Long Gui said: "Madam suspects that Mr. Xu's death is related to her?"

Mrs. Heather said calmly: "I don't like to waste time on suspicion. I am not young anymore and don't have much time to leave me with suspicion and analysis."

Long Gui whispered: "Madam, I understand what to do!"

Mrs. Heather walked out of the cafe and looked up at the cloudy sky: "Human feelings cannot be hidden. Jiayong is very sad. He married a woman who doesn't love him at all." After saying that, she turned to Long Gui and said, "Everyone has to pay the price for his actions, don't you?"

Fan Siqi returned to her car, Lin Peipei was waiting for her in the car. When she saw her coming back, she said with concern: "What? What exactly do they say?"

Fan Siqi shook her head and said, "It's useless. The Nancy Municipal Government has decided to kick us out of the Deepwater Port project, and no one can change it."

Lin Peipei said angrily: "It's all because of that gamble. If he hadn't caused trouble, how could Nancy do this?"

Fan Siqi smiled bitterly and said, "Pepe, what does this matter have to do with him? The reason why Nancy City wants to kick us out of the deep water port is because they have found a better investor. The Lanshan government has invested, and their interests are the same. They are taking advantage of this opportunity to adjust the investment structure. No one blames this. If you want to blame, you can only blame myself. You have evaluated our strength too high and thought that using the capital problem can force them to make concessions and let them hand over the new stadium plot, but they did not expect to backfire. This time, it was really a waste of watermelon and picked up sesame seeds..." Speaking of this, Fan Siqi suddenly realized that she had not even picked up sesame seeds, and she was preparing to give up the Nancy stadium plot.

Lin Peipei said: "Don't you just forget it? You took so much verbal talk before convinced the board of directors that the Deepwater Port project has been completed, and all your previous efforts have been silenced! I feel wronged for you!"
