1928: The Rise of Giant Merchants

Chapter 614 I Hope You Won’t Regret It Later

"How could it be flooded?!" Ye Luo slammed the table.

The staff from the capital of Shandong Province and Han Fuju's subordinates did not dare to answer.

They lowered their heads like children who had made mistakes, and they were too ashamed to look at Ye Luo.

"We dredged the river and built the Haihe River Water Conservancy Reconstruction Project. Even if the disaster was serious, it would not flood all the land!"

Ye Luo asked again, but no one could answer.

Seeing that the second young master was about to get angry, these people stammered and told the truth.

Even Xiao Aqiao, whose temper had become better and better since she married Ye Luo, was furious after hearing the reasons these people put together!

It turned out that Ye Luo had sent an engineering team to repair the water conservancy before, and later Han Fuju sent a lot of people in to make money.

After all, it was Chairman Han's territory. In order to complete the water conservancy project as soon as possible, Ye Luo turned a blind eye to the behavior of these people.

I didn't expect them to be so bold that they not only withheld wages and project funds, but also cut corners on the project privately!

Han Fuju's people made huge profits, and some employees of Ye's Construction were also influenced by him and followed suit to do these unethical things.

You work hard, but you can only take the salary given by the second young master.

I have Han Fuju's backing, so I come here to make money and enjoy myself.

Few people will not be jealous.

The bad thing is that this group of people think that the water conservancy project is just a face-saving project for Ye Luo to enter Shandong Province. In order to win the hearts and reputation of the people, they think that as long as the project is completed, it will be fine.

So what if they cut corners? Will there really be a flood?

Unexpectedly, the flood really came.

All the dirty deeds of these people were washed out!

"It's useless to say all this now. Jianqiao arranges a convoy. We will go to the capital of Shandong Province immediately to check the situation."

Ye Luo stood up and told Xiao Aqiao to quickly contact Ye's Construction and other relevant personnel. Those who should be fired should be fired, and those who should be fined should be fined.

Fearing that the flood would cause unexpected dangers, Ye Luo finally decided to let Xiao Aqiao take Kong Lingjun to continue to build a food city in Qing City.

He took his subordinates with good skills to the capital of Shandong Province.

Xiao Aqiao has been with Ye Luo for thirteen years and knows his character very well. Knowing that Ye Luo was really angry this time, she didn't say anything and just followed his instructions.

At such times, Ye Luo's "tyrant" attribute will be fully reflected, and no one can disobey him.

"I'll help the second young master drive!" Cao Fan, who followed, said excitedly. He was so bored in Shanghai.

As Ye Luo's personal driver, whenever Ye Luo travels, he basically takes Shi Jianqiao with him. Others dare not let Cao Fan be their driver. Over time, he has become the most idle person in Ye's investment.

This time when he came to Qing City, Cao Fan volunteered, and Xiao Aqiao took him with him.

Ye Luo laughed and scolded: "Driving a fart car, maybe the streets of the capital of Lu Province are flooded now, can your four wheels move?"

"Ah, is it so serious?" Cao Fan scratched his head.

"But it's better for you to go with me, maybe I can use you." Ye Luo patted his shoulder.

Cao Fan immediately stood up straight: "Okay!"

Not to mention the capital of Lu Province, even some streets in the mountain city of Qing City were flooded.

Fortunately, the water was not deep at this time, and there were still people wading through the water.

For the poor people, the disaster brought by the flood is not only the flood, but also delayed their working hours.

If the heavy rain continues, many workers in the whole city will go hungry.

Because they don't start work, their contractors won't provide food and accommodation, and there is no guarantee of basic wages and benefits.

The farmers are even worse off. They have worked in vain this year. It's not easy to bear all kinds of pressure on their shoulders. Now they have failed. No one can bear it.

The losses caused by this kind of flood start at hundreds of millions of dollars, and the total loss may be as high as tens of billions of dollars.

It's not a problem that Ye Luo can solve alone or with a few people.

Several people got on the train quickly.

Worried that Ye Luo might get into trouble there, Pan Wenhua first sent a telegram to Han Fuju in the name of Liu Xiang, saying that Ye Luo was temporarily replacing Commander Liu to go to Shandong for inspection, and then arranged for Liu Fangwu's troops to leave the mountain city and follow him to Shandong Province along the way.

Liu Fangwu was also very depressed in the mountain city.

He came all the way from Jiacheng in the south. Fortunately, he fought a good battle and did not disgrace the name of the second young master and the tax police corps.

But after the work was done, a group of people didn't know what to do.

It's not right to go back now, nor is it right to stay here. It's just right that I can be the bodyguard of the second young master in Shandong Province this time. Maybe I can fight with them again.

Liu Fangwu is not afraid of war, but he is afraid of no war.

This is also the reason why he went to the battlefield in northern Myanmar later.

Arrived at the capital of Shandong Province.

Ye Luo found that the Chinese were still very tenacious in the face of disasters. Some small vendors began to set up stalls in the water, and some children regarded the flooded streets as fishing grounds, shouting and laughing while catching fish on the streets.

Gradually, we came to the streets with higher heads, and finally we could not see the traces of floods. The streets were cleaner after the heavy rain, and occasionally we could see some alluvial debris.

The group went straight to the city hall.

Han Fuju knew that Ye Luo was here to ask for punishment, so he left the capital of Shandong Province on the grounds of training troops, leaving only a few adjutants to perfunctorily deal with Ye Luo.

Ye Luo sat down with his men in a big way, and several adjutants took turns to communicate with him, but from the tone and attitude, we knew how perfunctory Han Fuju and his men were.

Anyway, the money has been lost and the water conservancy project has been ruined. It's your name, the second young master, that's the problem. What does it have to do with me?

Cao Fan, who was following him, was almost furious. He looked back at the second young master, who was still calm and composed. He couldn't help but admire him.

He is worthy of being the second young master. He can still keep his composure like this.

After drinking a few sips of tea in the city hall, Ye Luo made it clear that he wanted to hold those who were originally inserted accountable. Who was corrupt, who cut corners, and who caused the project to fail? He hoped that Han Fuju would give an explanation.

He didn't care about that little bit of reputation.

In fact, there was no negative evaluation from the people.

The water conservancy project in Shandong Province was rotten, and Han Fuju, the warlord, was rotten. This is a well-known fact.

Ye Luo came to repair the water conservancy, and everyone applauded. Now the project has collapsed. With Ye Luo's control over public opinion, naturally, the people have long spread the word that Han Fuju is not a good son.

Everyone also likes to hear this kind of drama where good intentions are ruined by villains.

To be honest, the water conservancy project gave Ye Luo a good reputation.

But Ye Luo didn't care about these things from beginning to end.

If he really cared about this, or really wanted to build a golden body for himself, there were ways.

The collapse of the water conservancy project, on the one hand, touched the bottom line of his business, and on the other hand, seeing those ordinary people who were displaced and died because of it, it was always difficult to get over the hurdle in his heart.

Even though he told himself many times that even if he was a time traveler, it would be difficult to change the general trend.

But Ye Luo still wanted to fight for it in his heart.

One less person died because of this, which was a good thing with immeasurable merits.

The people who survived might be butterfly wings, which could bring different changes to the future.

But all these were ruined by Han Fuju's malicious manipulation.

"Second Young Master, we also know your request, but you also understand that this kind of thing involves too many things and it is not easy to handle."

The bald adjutant continued to speak in an official tone.

Anyway, Han Fuju instructed that no matter what the God of Wealth said, you should say yes.

But just don't do the real thing.

"I understand. I also understand what Chairman Han meant. We'll see each other later." Ye Luo stood up and clasped his fists. "I hope Chairman Han won't regret it in the future." (End of this chapter)
