Chapter 907: People from the Weixin Mansion Get Out
Two days later, Chen Junyan prepared to leave Tianjin for Beijing.
Wang Zhulin insisted on holding a grand farewell ceremony for him, and personally sent someone to send a letter to Chen Junyan, inviting him to visit the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce Building. At that time, celebrities from all walks of life in Tianjin will come together to see Deputy Minister Chen off.
When he received the post, Chen Junyan had just visited several banks and was resting in a restaurant.
He hugged his beloved Sakura girl, holding the post in his hand and boasting, "See? When I come to Tianjin, they will welcome me, and when I leave Tianjin, they will see me off. Apart from anything else, each of them will give me a gift of 100 yuan, which is a considerable sum when added up."
Sakura girl swayed on him and said in a soft voice: "That house that person has taken a fancy to..."
The appetite was so big that even Chen Junyan was shocked.
It is said that this Japanese girl was of Chinese descent, but later her family fell into poverty and she came to Tianjin. This restaurant is by no means comparable to an ordinary brothel, and it is said to have a deep background and great power.
This kid has obviously seen the world. Chen Junyan initially thought that spending eight or one thousand dollars was a big deal, but he didn't expect that the other party would not even look at it and would just give him a Ford car and a foreign-style house in the concession.
The key is that if you don't agree to her, she will just tease you but won't say anything.
Under the various tricks and carefully trained pulling techniques, even the smartest and calmest man would fall into the arms of tenderness. Chen Junyan felt like he had found his second spring and almost responded to every request of the girl.
Of course, his wallet couldn't bear it. Last night, he drank too much and opened ten bottles of champagne at the girl's instigation. When he saw the bill of more than 6,000 yuan this morning, Chen Junyan almost had a heart attack!
Wow, with more than 6,000 yuan, you can buy half a house in the concession!
So when Wang Zhulin sent him the invitation, he was very happy, because there was usually money to be made for this kind of farewell ceremony!
In the evening, Chen Junyan took a bath to wash off the smell of powder on his body. This time he did not wear a suit, but chose a long gown and jacket, and put on a top hat, looking like a justice of the peace.
When he arrived at the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce building, everyone was waiting to greet him at the door. Wang Zhulin even opened the car door for him personally, giving him enough face.
Chen Junyan's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he couldn't help but look around with pride. Even Lu Chenghua, who followed him, became a little autistic.
Lu Chenghua thought, when I first came to Tianjin, you all ignored me, but now that Deputy Minister Chen has taken over, you are so attentive to me. Am I really that unpopular?!
The ceremony was held as usual, starting with Wang Zhulin's speech, praising Chen Junyan.
Then Chen Junyan gave a speech, saying, "Brother, I have been in Jiangnan for a long time and rarely come to North China. Thank you for your care."
Normally, after this routine speech, people should hold their glasses of wine, eat and drink, socialize, give red envelopes to those who deserve them, and give big gold watches to those who deserve them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Junyan finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from below.
"Deputy Minister Chen! There have been rumors lately that the Nanjing Reform Government intends to issue government bonds in North China, and that they'll be in the form of apportionments. Is this true?"
Chen Junyan was shocked!
I immediately looked down and saw that the person speaking was a young man whom I was not familiar with before.
At this time, several reporters appeared from nowhere, some holding small notebooks and some holding micro-lenses.
Chen Junyan was sweating. He couldn't respond to this matter. If he admitted it, it would cause a public outcry. If he didn't admit it and really did it in the future, wouldn't that be breaking his promise and getting rich?
People can be shameless, but they cannot be shameless in public, especially in this era. Even if one becomes a traitor, the consequences of being shameless in public are very serious.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the people below started talking.
"Bonds, what bonds?"
"Haven't you heard yet? The Jinling Reform Government is desperately short of money, so they're targeting us. In all of North China, Tianjin is the most prosperous place for commerce. If they really impose a levy, we'll be the ones who suffer!"
"Damn it! We treated this guy named Chen to delicious food and drinks, but he ended up playing with us! This guy looks like a decent guy, but I didn't expect him to have such a dirty heart!"
"Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. This isn't just about cutting off their financial resources; this is about putting us to death! My cousin does business in the south. I heard the Weixin government is implementing levies. If you hand over money, they'll arrest you, beat you, and even kill you in prison. How is this any different from open robbery?"
"How many days of good life have we just had? If it weren't for Master Lin, we wouldn't be where we are today. But now that we seem to be on the verge of success, another bastard comes to take advantage. What are the tricks of the Jinling Reform House? They can hide it from others, but not from us!"
When Chen Junyan saw that the situation was about to get chaotic, he wanted to escape.
Many people think that if someone is really capable, he should be able to turn the tide at the chaotic scene. If an official encounters such a situation, he should make a live report with a loudspeaker to directly impress the masses.
Practical experience tells us that when encountering this situation, the best way is to escape.
Just like now, even if Chen Junyan tried to explain, the more he explained, the more vague and confusing it would become. It would be better to say nothing.
But some of the people below were arranged to be from the Coordination Bureau, so there was no way they would let him go. The space on both sides of the stage was blocked tightly.
Chen Junyan had no choice but to look to Wang Zhulin for help.
Wang Zhulin squeezed onto the stage, waved his hands vigorously to push them down, and shouted, "Quiet, everyone, be quiet!"
It seemed that everyone still gave him face as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and finally things calmed down.
Just when Chen Junyan thought he was saved, Wang Zhulin said, "To be honest, I've heard some rumors these past few days. Everyone knows that the Jinling Reform Government issued construction bonds and revival bonds, all of which were levied on merchants from Jinling, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and other places. Some small and medium-sized merchants even went bankrupt because of this. Since everyone has this question, then why don't you answer it directly, Deputy Minister Chen? As the Deputy Minister of Finance of the Reform Government, you are in charge of the bond issue. Tell me, does the Reform Government really want to issue bonds in North China? What exactly brought you north this time?"
"That's right! Answer us directly!"
"What on earth are you doing here?!"
"Get out of Tianjin!"
"People from the Weixin government, get out of North China!"
Chen Junyan was dumbfounded!
I fell into this old man's trap!
But how did he know about the government debt?
In the audience, Lu Chenghua was also stunned.
Looking at the miserable Chen Junyan, Lu Chenghua felt secretly happy. So you have come to this day!
As for whether the job is done wrong or not, it has nothing to do with me. With the deputy minister in charge, the blame will never fall on him.
The reporters in the audience put in their best efforts and used photos to capture the scene of Chen Junyan being questioned by everyone.
