Chapter 365
Heung Kong Fire Department Headquarters, in the Office of the Director of the Fire Department.
A sixty-year-old British man with 50-year-old hair and a wrinkled face was sitting at his desk, looking at the phone on the desk with his eyes focused on it, completely ignoring other things.
He has been in this state for a long time. Except for going out to use the toilet, even if his subordinates came to report work or submit applications for signature and approval, he would put them away and put them aside without any intention to deal with them.
It seemed like there was something more important on the other end of the phone.
"Ring ring ring!"
At this moment, the phone rang, and Cyril was shocked. He looked at the caller number, and it turned out to be the number of Jiuding Securities Company, which he remembered so well.
He is a loyal customer of Jiuding Securities Company and invested HKD 200,000 in Huizhong No. 1 Fund at the beginning.
After tasting the sweetness, Cyril became more confident in the strength of Jiuding Securities Company and Xia Yu, so at the second fund-raising reception, he did not hesitate to spend one million Hong Kong dollars saved over the years to invest.
Arrived in Evergreen No. 1 Fund.
Naturally, I knew the number of Jiuding Securities Company by heart.
"coming!"
Cyril secretly thought, cleared his throat immediately, smiled, and answered the phone.
The next second after the call was connected, Xia Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, is this Mr. Cyril? I'm Xia Yu!"
"Hello, Mr. Xia, I didn't expect to receive your call. I'm so happy..."
Cyril said with enthusiasm and surprise,
This attitude made Xia Yu on the other end of the phone stunned. He couldn't help but glance at the confident Kowloon Fire Brigade Captain Chen Jinping, who was there at this time, and then continued to report the situation.
"..."
Hearing what Xia Yu said on the other end of the phone, Cyril was very surprised and quickly denied it: "Mr.
Besides what relationship we have, I will never let anyone investigate your company."
"Who is leading the team...Chen Jinping? Oh, he is the captain of the Kowloon Fire Brigade. Please let him answer the phone..."
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
At Jiuding Securities Company, Xia Yu, who was holding the phone in his hand, rolled his eyes when he heard Cyril's words and thought of a lot. He smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment."
After saying that, Xia Yu looked at Chen Jinping with a playful expression, raised the microphone, raised his finger at Chen Jinping, and said calmly: "Your boss asked you to take the call."
Seeing Xia Yu's expression and hearing Xia Yu's words, Chen Jinping suddenly realized that something was wrong. He felt a little nervous and walked over to take the call.
"Sir, I am Chen Jinping..."
"What? Didn't you ask me to lead the team here for inspection? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to lead the team here... Yes!"
After hearing Cyril's order to withdraw his orders, and also saying that he was not scheduled to be on duty, Chen Jinping glanced at Xia Yu subconsciously and couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva.
He suddenly realized that he had been cheated. He wanted to argue but was interrupted by Cyril. The previous scene appeared in his mind. His boss Cyril mentioned in the office that Jardine Matheson Consortium wanted to rectify Jiuding Securities Company, and then he
So he volunteered to execute it. Cyril only agreed but did not explain anything else.
Now that I think about it, there seems to be something wrong with the attitude of my boss Cyril at that time. It’s just that he has been leaning towards Charles for a while and has never had any chance to perform. Now the opportunity has arisen. In order to make a fortune and let Charles see his role,
In order to give him a certain amount of support, the first thought in his mind was that the opportunity had come, and he did not carefully consider the attitude of his boss.
Seeing Chen Jinping's face getting more and more ugly when he answered the phone, Xia Yu could guess what Cyril said although he didn't hear it.
"It's interesting. As expected, people become better with age. Cyril is a fox, and the person in front of me is a typical idiot!"
Xia Yu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, crossed his arms, and thought to himself.
After a while, I saw Chen Jinping taking away the phone with a dark face, wanting to give the phone to Xia Yu, but he didn't know how to speak.
Xia Yu didn't say much to him and just grabbed the phone and answered it.
"...Okay, I will definitely go to your place for a cup of tea next time I have a chance!"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu turned his attention back to the dark-faced Chen Jinping.
This time, seeing Xia Yu's playful smile, Chen Jinping didn't have the same contemptuous attitude as before. Instead, he looked a little flustered, with an awkward and ugly smile on his face.
When he noticed the probing and questioning gazes of the team members around him, Chen Jinping felt even more stressed.
"Captain Chen, right? Did you understand what your boss said? Do you need to say more?"
Xia Yu said lightly, looking at Chen Jinping indifferently, but this only made Chen Jinping more stressed and worried.
This time, I really offended Xia Yu, a new tycoon. I originally thought that his boss Cyril was taking care of him, but he could complete the task and show his ability and role in front of Charles to seek more support.
Unexpectedly, his boss Cyril actually betrayed him. He did not dare to disobey orders. Otherwise, although Cyril did not have the power to directly remove him from his position, he had the means to teach him how to behave and ruin his future.
In addition, the situation just now was so obvious, and if he wanted to ask other ordinary firefighters to continue the investigation now, they would probably all run away, so he couldn't play the trick of "will not be exempted from military orders abroad".
But now that the matter has not been completed, there is no way to make a good impression and take credit. Instead, it will leave a bad impression. This is nothing more than offending the big boss Xia Yu.
Every time he went in and out, he suffered a huge loss, and his heart was filled with regret.
"Sorry for disturbing you!"
Chen Jinping squeezed out a reluctant apology and said sarcastically.
"Let's withdraw!"
Then, he left without looking back. The other firefighters immediately followed him and left, walking very fast, as if they wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Seeing a group of firefighters leaving in despair, Wang Qi and others looked confused, wondering what the fuss was about.
Of course, a possibility vaguely emerged in Wang Qi's mind, that is, there was chaos within the fire department.
"Boss, you are so awesome!"
Gao Peng praised with admiration on his face.
"hehe!"
Xia Yu smiled and said no more. Instead, he looked at the firefighters who were walking away and shook his head slightly.
"A brainless idiot who is still too young and was taught how to be a human being by Cyril."
"Compared with Cyril, he is still too young!"
Xia Yu thought to himself, his impression of Chen Jinping plummeting.
"but!"
"Although Cyril has plotted against me a little, he has already expressed it. It is obvious that between the Jardine Consortium and me, he is on my side. Interests are really touching! Interests are the strongest bond!"
…
Let’s talk about the Office of the Director of the Xiangjiang Fire Headquarters.
After Cyril hung up the phone, he leaned back on the armchair with a smile on his face, obviously in a very happy mood.
"Chen Jinping, don't think that because you hugged Charles Keswick's thigh, you can ignore me. I am still your boss now!"
Cyril sneered and said to himself.
Cyril is approaching the age of retirement. He has given up the idea of climbing up the political ladder. Instead, he is focused on making money and just wants to live quietly until he retires.
Seeing that he would not be able to stay for long, the subordinates below could start to get active. Among them, Chen Jinping seemed to have hugged the lap of Charles Keswick of the Keswick family and danced very happily.
And it seemed that because he hugged his thigh, he didn't have much respect for his superior. Although Cyril didn't say it, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
It is said that officials are most afraid of people leaving. He has not even retired yet, and the people below treat him as if he is nothing. Naturally, Cyril feels very uncomfortable.
Just because I haven't been able to find an opportunity, I can only continue to observe.
This time, I just took this opportunity to trick him and make Chen Jinping realize who is the boss. Don't ignore him just because you have him in your lap!
For the giant Jardine Matheson Group, if he could hold it in his lap when he was young, Cyril would definitely not hesitate.
But the Jardine Consortium looks down upon him!
The Xiangjiang Fire Department is actually a small department. After a few years of organizational reform, it will directly become a department under the Xiangjiang Police Department and become the Xiangjiang Fire Brigade. It is conceivable that the status and strength will be the same.
Naturally, such a person would not be taken seriously by the Jardine Consortium, so there was usually no communication. Cyril only wanted to retire and make money, and did not seek help from the Jardine He Consortium.
As the saying goes, no desire leads to strength. Even if the Jardine Consortium is very powerful, it only contacts him when he can be used now, and cannot give him tangible benefits. If he offends him, he will be offended.
And although it was said to be a contact, the tone was actually a bit condescending, and he also suggested that Chen Jinping should exercise more. Cyril was of course not happy that he stretched his hands so long.
Of course, in order not to offend the Jardine Consortium, Cyril asked his subordinates to go out again, and then called him back. At least he left for the show, and the Jardine Consortium had nothing to say.
All I can say is that from beginning to end, Chen Jinping was a fool!
…
After the fire fighters retreated, Xia Yu just stretched his body when he received a call from Yan Wenhan, saying that the fire fighters from Jiuding Newspaper Company and its printing factory had also come to investigate, but their attitude was very polite and they left after just a few steps.
Just going through the motions.
Xia Yu directly said I understand, asked him to feel at ease and pay more attention, and then hung up the phone.
"It seems that this is the work of the Jardine Consortium. They want to divert my energy and cause me trouble!"
"It's a pity that I didn't know the person well and found an uncooperative Cyril, haha!"
Thinking of Cyril who was pretending to be stupid, Xia Yu smiled instead. He didn't know whether he was laughing at the idiot Chen Jinping or at the Yihe Consortium.
After laughing, Xia Yu's smile faded and his eyes became as deep as ink.
"But you can tell by looking at the spots that the Jardine Consortium can't do what it does. Now it plans to play dirty. In addition to firefighting, there must be other conspiracies and tricks. You must be careful!"
"After all, not everyone is like Cyril, who has no intention of climbing the ladder, but is obsessed with money!"
"I won't be so lucky next time. I happen to meet a client of my fund!"
"The Jardine Consortium..."
Chapter completed!
