As it stands now, Brother Li knows everything has been exposed.
Without any sense of luck, he said, "Soone paid to teach him a lesson."
This matter isn't too complicated. Even without asking, Qiao Er knew roughly the situation.
But really hearing those words from his mouth, Qiao Er's inner anger was still hard to contain and surged.
"Who is that person?"
"I don't know."
"Don't know?" This ti, it was Song Guanchao speaking.
He laughed lightly, "Does Brother Xiong know who I am?"
Li Xiong slightly raised his head, "Yes, Director Song from the City Governnt office."
Song Guanchao said, "You know who I am yet you took this job."
Li Xiong was stunned for half a second, suddenly feeling so anger; Song Guanchao was baiting him!
Qiao Er also caught the crux of the matter.
If he didn't know Song Guanchao's identity, then this matter would mostly just be taking money to do a task.
Even though Li Xiong was Qiao Er's man, if soone offered money for help, he mostly wouldn't refuse.
But now, it's different.
Li Xiong acted knowing Song Guanchao's identity.
However, Song Guanchao didn't dwell on this aspect.
Specifically how to handle Li Xiong, that's Qiao Er's own business; he's not bothered, just reminding on Chairman Su's behalf to avoid being tricked by this kid.
"Speak up, Brother Xiong, who exactly told you to take action against ?"
"I told you, I don't know." Li Xiong shook his head, "On matters like this, I have no reason to hide."
"Is that so?"
Suddenly, Song Guanchao asked, "How much did they pay you?"
Li Xiong's eyes showed obvious hesitation; after waiting two seconds, he finally said a number, "100,000."
Song Guanchao looked at Qiao Er, "President Qiao, the amount Brother Xiong gets every year shouldn't be small, right?"
Qiao Er looked at Li Xiong with eyes full of disappointnt.
He knew why Song Guanchao would suddenly ask these things, and Li Xiong's answer confird certain matters.
"Five to six million a year." Qiao Er said.
Song Guanchao smiled and nodded, "President Qiao, you should take the man away."
Qiao Er took a deep breath but didn't imdiately take him away.
He looked at Li Xiong, "Ah Xiong, how long have you been with ?"
Li Xiong didn't have the confidence to et his gaze, lowered his head, "Nine years."
"These nine years, how have I treated you?"
"Brother Qiao..."
"Speak! How have I treated you?"
"Like a brother."
"Then do you admit that I'm still your boss?"
"I admit!" Li Xiong said through clenched teeth.
"Since you admit, I still see you as my brother. Now, reveal that person's identity, and I'll beg Chairman Su for a chance, to protect you one last ti."
From when Song Guanchao asked him how much he collected, asking how much he earned a year, Qiao Er knew Li Xiong was lying.
Li Xiong knew that person's identity.
Moreover, Li Xiong and that person weren't eting for the first ti.
That person might have already bought Li Xiong off long ago!
Usually, there's no problem.
Once there's trouble, Li Xiong is a ticking ti bomb!
Truth be told, he should really thank Song Guanchao.
If it wasn't for tonight's events, Li Xiong wouldn't have been exposed.
Li Xiong closed his eyes, his heart very unsettled, his chest heaving intensely.
Qiao Er didn't rush him.
After about ten seconds, Li Xiong opened his eyes and said, "His na is Xu Chengcheng."
Indeed, it's him.
Song Guanchao first thought of him, now confird.
"Xu Chengcheng?" Nearby, Qi Xuan suddenly uttered a soft sound.
Song Guanchao asked, "Does Brother Xuan know him?"
Qi Xuan nodded, "I've heard of him."
"This Xu Chengcheng has quite the background."
"Oh? What kind of background?"
"It's said he cos from Beijing, used to have an uncle who was a City Secretary in Jiangzhou. And this person has many ways to make money; as far as I know, quite a few big brothers on the street really tout him, hoping to get so support from him."
What he knew was only superficial; as for who exactly is behind Xu Chengcheng, he did not know.
But from his description, it does show a certain second generation style.
However, this second generation is sowhat lacking in stature.
The real second generation wouldn't rub shoulders with the likes of Li Xiong.
Simply put, his identity isn't strong enough.
"Director Song, thank you for tonight."
Qiao Er suddenly ca over and gave a very solemn thank you to Song Guanchao, then grabbed a bottle of wine on the table and drank half of it in one go.
"Each matter has its due place, I should thank President Qiao for tonight too."
Song Guanchao picked up a wine glass and drank it all down.
Qiao Er said no more and turned to leave; Li Xiong followed with bowed head.
And those five young n, still kneeling on the ground shivering, dared not move.
Song Guanchao lifted his eyelids, "Leave."
The five didn't react for a mont, eventually incredulously pointed at themselves?
Song Guanchao smiled and nodded.
The five were like receiving amnesty, kowtowing and thanking, then left the room sniffling.
After they left, Qi Xuan asked in a bit of puzzlent, "Director Song just let Li Xiong go?"
"Otherwise?" Song Guanchao said, "Where possible, be lenient; I'm not one of those from the street. Severing things too completely, what good does that do ?"
Moreover, with Li Xiong's big issue, Chairman Su certainly won't continue using him.
Even if Qiao Er begged for rcy, he'd be driven out.
He stood up and said, "Thank you for tonight, Brother Xuan."
"Director Song is too kind."
Qi Xuan stood up as well, and as they left the room, Song Guanchao suddenly asked, "Is President Tan in?"
"I'm not too sure."
Song Guanchao nodded and left the club, then got in the car and called Tan Xiang.
"Thank you, President Tan, for tonight."
When the call was connected, Song Guanchao expressed his gratitude.
"You're welco," Tan Xiang's tone was hard as rock.
Truth be told, the relationship between the two wasn't particularly good.
At first, Tan Xiang tried to drug him but ended up being entrapped by Song Guanchao.
Later, because of the undercover issue, they nearly fell out.
The current situation isn't the best result, but both sides are quite satisfied.
Each minding their own business, yet occasionally cooperating, even quite decent.
"There's sothing I'd like to ask President Tan."
"What is it?"
"Does President Tan know Xu Chengcheng?"
"I do."
"How's your relationship?"
"What are you asking?" Tan Xiang was clearly impatient.
Song Guanchao chuckled, "I want to trouble Chairman Tan to help arrange for Xu Chengcheng to et for a chat."
"Just a chat?"
"Yes, just a chat," Song Guanchao said, "Also, when President Tan invites him, don't say that I'm coming too. I have so conflicts with Mr. Xu; if he knows I'm going, he might not agree to et."
"When?"
"No ti like the present; how about tonight."
"Alright."
Tan Xiang hung up, and Song Guanchao just sat in the car waiting.
He didn't have to wait long, just about five minutes later, Tan Xiang sent a location.
Song Guanchao was quite surprised.
It seed her relationship with Xu Chengcheng wasn't as ordinary as she stated.
However, Song Guanchao wasn't concerned about these details.
