#367 - Chapter 367 I Really Give You Face

At that moment, Niu Xingwang explained the project again.

Gong Kaiming fell into deep thought after listening, without immediately expressing his stance.

In this regard, his performance was far inferior to the mayors of Jingmen and Luzhou.

Back and forth, he was just calculating his own petty interests.

"Mayor Gong, do you have any concerns?" Niu Xingwang asked.

"Chairman Niu, as the old saying goes, 'Never raise a mouth that only knows how to ask.' To be honest, the risks of breeding are simply too great. Meilin's situation has finally shown some improvement, and I'm unwilling to take any risks," Gong Kaiming said.

Was this a rejection?

Not really.

He just wanted more benefits or more favorable conditions.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Niu Xingwang still felt very uncomfortable seeing his performance now.

This was his 'father and mother official'.

This was Meilin, which had repeatedly obtained huge benefits from the Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, he recalled a saying that Dongfang Chen had once said: If it is a pure exchange of interests, don't mix emotions into it. Because this will make the interests look dirty, and it will hurt the person who invests emotions.

It was a very blunt statement, yet so true.

"Mayor Gong, I only left you a spot because we are all Binjiang natives. I might as well tell you, the mayors of Jingmen and Luzhou have already signed contracts. Originally, this third spot was planned for Yujing, do you understand what I mean?" Since things had reached this point, Niu Xingwang saw no need to spare his feelings.

"Oh? Don't mention it, I think it would definitely be more suitable for Yujing to do it," Gong Kaiming retorted.

He was sure that Niu Xingwang would definitely want Meilin to do it, which was why he was so fearless.

This approach was no different from dancing on the tip of a knife.

At this moment, Niu Xingwang couldn't resist the urge to overturn the table.

"Alright, let's talk about this matter later. Oh, right, there's another thing. The Chamber of Commerce is holding training internally during this period, so the Meilin branch of the Chamber of Commerce is estimated to be temporarily closed for a period of time. But Mayor Gong, don't worry, it will resume business after the training is over," Niu Xingwang changed the subject.

The shutdown was fake, giving Gong Kaiming a warning was real.

This kind of person should not be given any more respect.

If you give them too much respect, they will think of themselves as someone important.

"Is that so? When will it start?" Gong Kaiming's face looked a little unsightly.

At this time, he realized that he had miscalculated. This matter must not be indispensable to him, otherwise Niu Xingwang would not be so tough.

"The specific time has not yet been determined. Once it is confirmed, I will notify you in advance."

After speaking, Niu Xingwang stood up.

"Then that's it for today. Since Mayor Gong has concerns, I won't force it. If there is an opportunity in the future, let's cooperate again," he prepared to leave.

If he let him go at this time, he would really be in trouble.

Seeing that Gong Kaiming was not cooperating, Niu Xingwang lost the desire to argue with him.

Let's get tough!

"Gong Kaiming, I'm really giving you face!" Niu Xingwang's face suddenly turned cold.

"Chairman Niu... what is this...?" Gong Kaiming hadn't reacted yet, standing there blankly, at a loss.

"Let me ask you, are you being a cheapskate?" Niu Xingwang stared at him coldly and asked.

"Niu Xingwang, what do you mean by this?" Gong Kaiming also realized that something was wrong.

"You're the type who doesn't appreciate kindness! I'm telling you, me coming to talk to you is giving you face, do you understand? Just cooperate properly, why do you have to be so shameless? Do you think the Huatong Chamber of Commerce can't function without you, Gong Kaiming?" Niu Xingwang scolded very bluntly, no longer giving him any face.

"You you you..." Gong Kaiming was immediately furious, pointing at him with a trembling finger, unable to say a word.

"I'm telling you, ever since I helped you build the resettlement housing and didn't get a single cent, you've been nothing to me. I'm just asking you, what qualifications do you have to bargain with me?" Niu Xingwang stared at him and continued to scold.

"Didn't you say..." Gong Kaiming couldn't open his mouth.

"I said I wouldn't hold it against you, right? That's right, I did say that. But that's my business, what does it have to do with you?" Niu Xingwang glanced at him sideways.

"Whether you can be the person in charge of this Meilin resettlement housing, you can only do it if I let you, if I don't let you, you can't do it even if you want to, do you believe it?" Niu Xingwang continued to threaten.

"I... you..." Gong Kaiming hadn't calmed down yet.

No one had ever been so arrogant in front of him.

"Enough nonsense, I'll just ask you one question, can you do this or not? And I'll only ask once, think carefully before you answer," Niu Xingwang asked, half-warningly, narrowing his eyes.

"I..." Gong Kaiming covered his chest, trying to calm his emotions.

He didn't dare to lash out, and he didn't dare to fall out with him.

"I... I'll do it!" After stabilizing for a minute, Gong Kaiming finally said the two words as if he had deflated.

"Remember my words. Cooperate properly, and you can still stay in this position. Otherwise, go stay wherever it's cool!" Niu Xingwang's tone softened.
