Chapter 733 The Whole Nest is Taken Down
Li Bowen was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure and said coldly, "As the person in charge of the entire project, you should have some understanding of the situation in the southwest region!"
"Without the assistance of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, you would not have succeeded!"
Just as Chen Yang was about to slam the table, a noisy sound came from outside.
"Is Liu Ran from Yang Yang Yang Company here?"
Old Zhao's voice also slowly sounded, "May I ask who you are?"
"I am a representative of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, here to sign a contract with Yang Yang Yang Company. Go and call them out."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang frowned and immediately pushed the door open to go out.
The others in the room followed suit.
After Li Bowen came out, he saw the representative of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce and immediately extended his hand, saying, "So it's Brother Xiong Xiao."
Xiong Xiao simply nodded slightly, not even extending his hand. He slightly raised his head and scanned the crowd in the courtyard, "Are you all from Yang Yang Yang Company?"
Li Bowen awkwardly withdrew his hand. Seeing that everyone remained silent, he immediately nodded, "They are all from Yang Yang Yang Company. This is President Liu Ran of Yang Yang Yang Company, and this is President Su Ya."
As for the others, Li Bowen did not recognize them, so he could only improvise.
Xiong Xiao's gaze swept over Liu Ran, Su Ya, and the others, and he chuckled, "You guys are quite ambitious, coming all the way from Qingzhou to stir up trouble in the southwest?"
As he spoke, Xiong Xiao took out a contract from his briefcase, "We have already prepared this contract. Sign it."
"We will only charge fifty percent of the profit. It has nothing to do with us how you do things, but one thing is, be clean when you leave, don't leave any traces!"
After Xiong Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Li Bowen, who was standing beside him, and said, "You can go back. The Chamber of Commerce will contact you."
Li Bowen gave a dry laugh and could only nod and leave.
But just as he was about to leave the courtyard, Chen Yang suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
A cold smile appeared on Chen Yang's face. He looked at Li Bowen and said, word by word, "You can't leave until things are clarified."
As for the contract that Xiong Xiao had produced, Chen Yang took it and crushed it into powder.
Xiong Xiao's eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Yang in disbelief. This was a contract from the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, and this bumpkin dared to tear it up!
"Are you looking for death?"
Xiong Xiao was nearly two meters tall and had a broad chest and strong back. He did not look like a businessman at all, but more like a thug.
Xiong Xiao's position in the Southwest Chamber of Commerce was indeed not for doing business.
Xiong Xiao extended his massive hand, about to grab Chen Yang, but Chen Yang firmly clasped his wrist.
As Chen Yang grabbed him, Xiong Xiao immediately felt an intense pain in his hand.
Seeing this, Meng Qingxue hurried over and said to Chen Yang, "Don't kill him!"
Chen Yang only wanted to find out what these two people were up to, so he naturally wouldn't use excessive force.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
Under Chen Yang's interrogation, everyone learned that the person behind it was the president of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, Xu Guodu. Xu Guodu had always been "seasoning" companies that came to the southwest, in other words, using money to bring them into the Southwest Chamber of Commerce.
Yang Yang Yang Company's poverty alleviation projects were something many companies had done, but they used poverty alleviation as an excuse to cheat money.
The Southwest Chamber of Commerce not only did not stop such activities but even secretly supported them.
Meng Qingxue gritted her teeth and looked at the two people on the ground, "This Southwest Chamber of Commerce is really out of control, daring to do such things. Aren't they afraid of the Southwest Prefecture finding out?"
Li Bowen hurriedly explained, "I don't know, I really don't know anything!"
Chen Yang, on the other hand, stared at Xiong Xiao and said, word by word, "Who is behind Xu Guodu?"
Xiong Xiao knew he couldn't beat this young man, but he also knew the consequences of betraying his boss, so he was terrified. He could only grit his teeth and refuse to say a word. Compared to getting hurt himself or his family getting into trouble, he would rather choose to be the one in trouble.
Seeing that Chen Yang was about to take action, Liu Ran quickly stopped him and whispered, "Why don't we find someone from the Southwest Prefecture? We're not from the southwest, so it's not convenient for us to interfere in such matters."
Su Ya also strongly agreed with Liu Ran, "We're just trying to ensure the project runs smoothly. We're not trying to cause trouble."
Chen Yang took a deep breath and directly called Zhu Wenyu.
"Do you know Xu Guodu?"
Zhu Wenyu was stunned by Chen Yang's sudden question, but after reacting, he immediately said, "The president of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, just a two-faced person. You've run into this guy?"
"If it's not a big deal, avoid him. This person is ruthless and will do anything."
Chen Yang did not expect that even Zhu Wenyu seemed unwilling to offend this person.
Zhu Wenyu represented the Zhu family, the foremost family in the southwest!
However, Chen Yang did not pay much attention to this matter. What he cared more about was that Zhu Wenyu seemed to know Xu Guodu very well.
"What? You know what this guy has been doing?"
A wry smile appeared on Zhu Wenyu's face. "I didn't know before. I thought he was as kind as he appeared. Later, I found out that he was actually colluding with a bunch of scoundrels in private, harming many people."
"The Southwest Chamber of Commerce was not his originally. He took it by force. However, he was meticulous in his work and never left any evidence. There was nothing that could be done about him. His clan was also very united. Over time, they have demarcated some boundaries, such as Nanlong and Southwest Mingcheng, where they would not cause trouble."
As he said this, Zhu Wenyu suddenly remembered something. He had already learned from Sanqian that Chen Yang was doing a poverty alleviation project.
Since it was a poverty alleviation project...
Zhu Wenyu immediately slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten this?
Since it was a poverty alleviation project, Xu Guodu would definitely get involved!
Zhu Wenyu said with some helplessness, "Did you run into him during the poverty alleviation project?"
Chen Yang sneered, "More than that. They were directly summoned by the Southwest Prefecture."
"What? Impossible! The cooperation between the Southwest Prefecture and the Southwest Chamber of Commerce has always been very cautious. How could they still help the Southwest Chamber of Commerce do things?" Zhu Wenyu found it hard to believe Chen Yang's words.
If that were true...
"Old Jiang is still at home, I'll call him over."
Jiang Luo held a significant position in the Southwest Prefecture, so he would likely know some inside stories about such matters.
"No, I think it's better to have Old Jiang come over directly!" Chen Yang did not think that such matters could be explained in a few words over the phone.
This Southwest Chamber of Commerce would likely involve a large number of people!
