Chapter 387
"Secretary Wentao, this contains a full 20 yuan in cash! All freshly withdrawn from the bank. This is a small token of appreciation from the many entrepreneurs in Bengang City. Please don't refuse; this is an unwritten rule in Bengang City!"
Sun Shugang's fat face was filled with a flattering smile, making him look like a pug.
He racked his brains to come up with this idea, and it was also approved by Mayor Sun Yiguo.
Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t love money?
That’s a full 20 yuan, almost equivalent to the salary of the municipal party committee secretary for ten years!
Anyone who sees such a large sum of money would feel dizzy, right?
Besides, what's the point of everyone fighting so hard for power and wealth? Isn't it just to sit on the top spot and make more money?
Moreover, he had already made preparations and recorded the serial numbers of every banknote of the 20 cash in detail, and even secretly brought a recorder with him.
As long as Wentao dares to accept the money, Mayor Sun Yiguo will no longer have to worry all day long.
Thinking of this, Sun Shugang was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
However, facing the huge box of red banknotes in front of him, Wen Tao just sneered and said, "Mr. Sun, this is the first time I've seen so much money in my life! But as the saying goes, there's no reward without merit. I dare not accept it casually!"
His sharp eyes stared at Sun Shugang, as if he wanted to see through the other's inner thoughts.
"Secretary Wentao, you are so polite! You should know that as the secretary of the Bengang Municipal Party Committee, you are not just a leader, but also the parent official of the people of our city! We who are in business are eagerly looking forward to getting your guidance and support, and please give us some good ideas! Besides, with a young and promising leader like you, our Bengang City will surely develop better and better in the future under your leadership, and the future is limitless! I always feel that with the hard work and efforts you have put in, your salary and benefits are really too low! Look, this little money is just a small thought from all of us!" Sun Shugang said with a smile on his face and a mouth as sweet as honey.
"Bribery is a serious crime. Mr. Sun, aren't you deliberately putting me in an unjust position?" Wen Tao said half-jokingly.
Seeing this, Sun Shugang hurriedly explained with a smile, "Hey, Secretary Wentao, don't worry! This matter is known only to heaven and earth, and only to you and me. Just accept it with peace of mind! Besides, my Yinshengyuan Real Estate Company's annual output value is hundreds of millions. If I really wanted to bribe, how could I only come up with a mere 200,000 yuan! It's nothing to me!"
As he spoke, Sun Shugang pushed the briefcase forward again.
In fact, Sun Shugang knew very well that although Wentao spoke righteously, it could be seen from his flickering eyes that he was still very eager to accept the money.
However, due to his status and reputation, he didn't dare to reach out easily. Sun Shugang thought to himself that Wentao was the typical type of person who "had the intention but not the courage to do it". If he kept persuading him, he might succeed.
"Since Mr. Sun is so sincere, I will accept the money with pleasure!" Wen Tao said slowly with a smile on his face.
"Haha, that's right, Secretary Wen! Now that you've come to Bengang City, we're family. In the future, I, Sun, will need your care in many areas of Bengang City! Now that things have been settled, my mission today has been successfully accomplished. Farewell, Secretary Wen!"
Sun Shugang was secretly delighted, but his face was full of enthusiasm. He thought to himself: My prediction was right!
How many people in this world can resist the temptation of money?
As long as Wentao accepts this generous gift, he will definitely gain more benefits from me in the future.
In this way, wouldn't it be easy to control this mayor of a city? When the time is right, toppling this municipal party secretary will be a piece of cake.
After Wen Tao personally sent Sun Shugang downstairs, he turned around and returned to the office.
Gently unzipping the briefcase, he took a closer look and saw twenty stacks of brand new hundred-yuan bills neatly arranged inside. Seeing this, Wentao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Humph, are you using this to test leading cadres?
Which cadre cannot withstand such a test?
While muttering to himself, he carefully closed the briefcase again, found a piece of paper, and wrote in a flamboyant style the words "Delivered by Sun Shugang on December 3rd", and stuck it on the briefcase as a so-called "seal".
After completing all the operations, he carefully placed the slightly old but still exquisite briefcase into the drawer of his desk and carefully locked it. The whole movement was smooth and natural, as if everything he had just done was just an illusion, leaving no trace.
Then, he walked towards the lush bonsai behind him with steady steps.
The flowers in the bonsai were vying for beauty, and the green leaves swayed in the breeze, but his gaze fell directly on an inconspicuous corner next to one of the leaves. There was a tiny camera hidden there, almost unnoticeable unless one was looking for it.
He stretched out his fingers, precisely grasped the camera, and slowly pulled it out. At that moment, his mind began to replay the conversation he had just had with Sun Shugang. Every word, every expression was vivid, and this small camera had recorded the entire process.
At the same time, Sun Shugang had also returned to his car.
He couldn't wait to press the play button on the recorder, and the conversation he had just recorded instantly echoed in the small compartment.
When Sun Shugang heard Wen Tao say, "I gladly accept this money," a smug smile appeared on his face. It was restrained at first, but soon it overflowed like a flood, unable to be suppressed any longer.
"Hehe, with this recording, let's see how arrogant you, Wentao, can still be! This time I will make you suffer and surrender obediently." Sun Shugang thought to himself as he listened to the recording.
He seemed to have seen Wentao panicking and unable to refute the evidence, and a sense of pleasure welled up in his heart.
With this recording, he believed that the mayor of a country could easily take down Wen Tao without any major fuss!
