Chapter 2068: Bribery
....Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Director Zhang, let’s go in. I’ve already reserved a table! And ordered all your favorite dishes!” Li Xin said fawningly.
Director Zhang looked at the table in front of him and seemed very dissatisfied. He was used to eating in the private room at this restaurant. He did not expect Li Xin to have reserved a table in the main hall!
“I’m so sorry, Director Zhang. We’re here because this is your favorite restaurant, but there’s a wedding dinner upstairs today and all the private rooms are booked up,” Li Xin said apologetically.
“It’s fine. It’s good to be in the main hall. The view is better,” Zhang Fu said.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Li Xin kept talking about the reason why they wanted to get that plot of land. He talked about all his plans for the future and stressed that his company’s future prospects were very bright.
Zhang Fu did not know anything about doing business. He only cared about money and he was satisfied as long as he was given enough benefits. As for who the owners of the plots of land were in the end, he was not interested at all.
“In this part of Shen City, there’s no one who hasn’t heard of Director Zhangs reputation! Please help us out.” Li Xin took out a stack of money from his bag and continued, “Here’s 5,000 dollars. It’s a gift from us. Once the matter is done, there’s another 5,000 dollars for you. Please put in a good word for us and help us out.”
Zhang Fu immediately became alert and looked around. Fortunately, there were not many customers today and everyone was all seated far away from them. In the past, he had never received any bribe which exceeded 1,000 dollars. This was the first time he was receiving such a substantial “gift”. If he rejected Li Xin, he probably would not be able to sleep well for the next month.
“In that case, I’ll help you out. There won’t be a next time though,” Zhang Fu said as he put the money into his pocket quietly.
“Thank you so much, Director Zhang! Come, here’s a toast to you!” Li Xin said happily.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Fu was a little tipsy. He called for the chauffeur to come and send him home. Before he left, he even patted Li Xin’s shoulder and promised repeatedly that he would help with Li Xin’s request and told Li Xin to relax and wait for the news.
The two men watched as Zhang Fu r s car disappeared into the night before they returned to the restaurant. Wu Duo, who had been sitting in the corner, raised up the small video recorder in his hand and said, “Thank you for your hard work.’
“Did you manage to film everything? Are our faces in the frame? Don’t let anyone see that it’s the two of us who bribed him. We still want to continue working in Shen City!” Li Xin said.
“Don’t worry, the equipment provided by Sister Qiao Mei has the most advanced technology from overseas. It’s definitely reliable! Did you manage to record your conversation?” Wu Duo asked.
Just having video footage alone was not enough. Although they had used the small video recorder to record the scene of Zhang Fu taking the bribe, Zhang Fu could always say that he was only borrowing money from Li Xin and Liu Guangz They needed both the video and the voice recording to prove that Zhang Fu had taken the bribe.
The three of them drove home immediately. Wu Duo took out the evidence confidently and said, “The mission is successful! That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Zhang Fu really took the bait!”
“l thought that since we were not in the private room, he wouldn’t dare to accept the money 1 gave him! When he looked at me, I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat!” Li Xin said.
“l was scared too. If our plan is exposed, our business will be completely ruined!” Liu Guang patted his chest and said fearfully.
“Zhang Fu is a greedy person at heart. He will never be able to let go of so much money,” Qiao Mei said.
“Cousin-in-law, what should we do next?” Xiang Chen asked.
“We’re going to report him of course! And we’re going to take him down! He won’t have a good life after this!” Qiao Mei said firmly.
Li Xin and Liu Guang were taken aback by Qiao Mei’s ruthlessness. Xiang Chen and Wu Duo recalled the fates of those people who bullied Qiao Mei in the past. All those people came to miserable ends and some of them were even sent to jail.
Only Luo Yu knew that not only did Qiao Mei dare to take revenge on the people who made her angry, but she even dared to kill them! He was the only one who knew how miserably it ended for Zhang Cheng and Liang Jin in Country M.
“Alright, everyone should get a good rest. We still have a tough battle in front of us tomorrow,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
After everyone was done with their work, they returned to their rooms. As soon as it was dawn, Xiang Chen brought the evidence to look for the mayor of Shen City, to report Zhang Fu for corruption and bribery..
