46: Chapter 46 He who refuses a toast will have to suffer the consequences
The fate of Pi Xiangyang had actually always been a warning light for Sun Ning.
Even before Sun Ning witnessed his downfall.
Pi Xiangyang brought him more than just hatred and harm; there was also a mix of envy and jealousy.
As well as the strong vision of "a real man should be like this" and "he can be replaced."
In his previous life, Sun Ning was just an ordinary person.
He had desires; he longed to be a person above others, and he wanted to live a life of luxury.
He preferred the days of "waking up to hold the power of the world and sleeping on the knees of beauties."
He had fantasized about it, and actively pursued it during college.
But after graduation, he was hit hard by society.
He was trapped in that small township, unable to develop.
Without constraints, in order to let the leadership see his achievements, he worked desperately, climbing up step by step.
However, due to age and educational factors, he could never leave Mishui Township.
Later, his health collapsed, and his life ended.
After Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi was investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission during his tenure as District Head of Chengguan, Pi Xiangyang was also imprisoned.
A few years after his rebirth, he learned that Pi Xiangyang had been released from prison, and he went to see him specifically.
Sun Ning thought he would be excited to see Pi Xiangyang.
But he was not excited; instead, he felt a sense of relief from a great awakening.
He felt that his life was not a complete failure; at the very least, he had walked upright and stood tall.
And this awakening would make him maintain a sense of awe in this life.
Sun Ning looked at the young face in front of him and said indifferently: "I don't know which deity Young Master Pi is? To make me afraid to speak to someone who broke into my office without greeting."
"Hehe, Township Head Sun, right? The last person who dared to speak to me like that is still guarding the reservoir! I admire your courage, and I also appreciate those of you who work selflessly for the public."
Speaking of this, Pi Xiangyang sneered.
It was unclear whether he disdained Sun Ning's overestimation of his own abilities, or if he recalled the fate of the person who did not collude with him.
He didn't let Sun Ning speak again, and took out five stacks of cash from his bag.
He placed it in front of Sun Ning with an arrogant air.
He continued to put on airs: "Township Head Sun, I won't talk nonsense with you. I have taken a fancy to the project in your industrial park. This is the deposit! After it's done, I'll give you another 100,000!"
"Are you trying to bribe me?"
Sun Ning felt that he had never thought highly of Pi Xiangyang.
But now he found him stupidly cute.
The key is that for a multi-million project, 150,000 was trying to dismiss him.
Was this treating him like a beggar?
"You don't need to be so high-sounding. You also know my identity. I'm just looking to make friends with you. If you take this money, we are friends."
"And if I don't take the money? Let me go to guard the reservoir? I don't have the habit of making friends with a businessman. Young Master Pi, please go back!"
"You are presumptuous! You, a fledgling from the countryside, want me to beg you again and again? I'll put it here today: that project can only be mine. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
Pi Xiangyang felt offended.
He was instantly furious.
Although he, Young Master Pi, was not as valuable as Young Master Wang, he was still one of the top three young masters in Gongfan County.
Today, he treated a small Township Head nicely.
He never expected to be rejected and ridiculed repeatedly.
How could he, Young Master Pi, take this kind of anger? Therefore, he threatened Sun Ning.
Actually, Pi Xiangyang's visit this time was an impulse. After the card game ended yesterday, he felt he should meet Sun Ning in person.
If he could win him over, his gains would be greater.
The fact was that Li Jincai was just a rotten stump, an incapable person who couldn't be helped!
He didn't want to reuse Li Jincai.
And Sun Ning had just arrived not long ago, and had already stirred up some waves in Mishui Township.
Such money-making methods made him admire him endlessly.
After thinking it over, he decided to run over in person, acting as a lord, to "visit the thatched cottage three times."
He believed that with his reputation as Young Master Pi, Sun Ning would swarm around him like a pug.
Just like all the family slaves in his house.
But he was rejected and ridiculed time and time again.
Sun Ning heard these words as if he heard air.
A character of Pi Xiangyang's level was not worth him making a big fuss.
To kill a snake, you must hit it seven inches. If you want to deal with Pi Xiangyang, you must first take down Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi.
Only by pulling such a person from the sky to the mortal world would he be more uncomfortable.
He picked up the phone on the table and looked through the address book of all important people in Gongfan County.
Soon, he found the work phone number of Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi in the ninth position.
"Hello, Secretary Qin? I am Sun Ning from Mishui Township. I would like to speak to Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi."
At this time, Pi Xiangyang opposite Sun Ning widened his eyes, as if a swear word was about to blurt out.
Perhaps out of fear, he did not dare to say it.
There was only one voice in his heart: How could he dare to do this? How could he be so brave?
Calling and directly asking for Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi.
Is he lacking emotional intelligence? Isn't he afraid of others messing with him?
No wonder his own father didn't have good things to say about him at home.
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone.
Sun Ning sneered and continued: "Tell Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi that a businessman who calls himself Young Master Pi is currently bribing me. Ask him if he cares. If he doesn't care, I will let the County Commission for Discipline Inspection handle it."
After saying this, Sun Ning hung up the phone.
You are blatantly grabbing my political achievements, and you still want me to politely follow the unspoken rules of the officialdom and wait for you to hang up?
Pi Xiangyang had never seen such a scene: a Township Head calling a County Mayor to report his son, and even wanting to involve the Discipline Inspection Commission.
Although he had various reasons to avoid the charge of bribery, it would still be a mess if he really went to drink tea.
He thought of the wooden stick at home, and then thought of his father's coldness in the past.
Involuntarily, his legs softened, and he wanted to collapse on the ground.
Raising his head and seeing Sun Ning's face, he was a little scared. He picked up the 50,000 yuan on the table and fled directly from this place.
Watching Pi Xiangyang flee in a panic, Sun Ning couldn't help but find it funny.
Where is this the majestic Young Master Pi? He is simply a dog of a prodigal son who is fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.
After Sun Ning asked Liaison Xiao Yuan to send the report to Secretary Xue Hongtao, he dialed another phone number.
"Secretary Li, are you busy?"
Five minutes later, Sun Ning hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Just as he had expected, Comrade Old Pi, who was originally high-spirited, was furious after being whispered to by his secretary.
And the scene of the signing ceremony was also exceptionally lively.
Pi Yingjie, like Secretary Wang Shengli, both hoped to treat this investment promotion as a major political achievement.
By coincidence, they partnered to invite all kinds of newspapers in Zhongzhou, big and small.
Including but not limited to the Daily Newspaper, Economic News, Evening News, and other media.
And on the Zhongzhou side, in addition to Gao Feng attending the signing ceremony.
There was also the Vice Mayor in charge of investment promotion and the Deputy Secretary-General and Office Director of the Municipal Government accompanying him.
Not surprisingly to Sun Ning, County Party Committee Secretary Vice Mayor Wang Pingan also attended the signing ceremony.
The scene was filled with so many media outlets, presumably this person had a hand in it.
It seems everyone wants to cut some benefits from this.
