487: Chapter 487 I'll give you one word: Get lost!

Inside the office.

Qin Chuan had brewed a cup of hot tea and was reading a professional book on economics, looking very serious and focused.

His Super Learning Ability was truly extraordinary.

Not only did he have a near-photographic memory, but his comprehension was also incredibly strong. He could understand even the most obscure and difficult concepts after a single reading, and by the second read, he would already have his own insights and understanding.

Because of this, Qin Chuan had become obsessed with learning.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The sound of knocking at the door pulled Qin Chuan out of his deep state of reading. He closed the book and said in a clear, resonant voice, "Come in."

He had initially thought it was a subordinate coming to report on work or get a signature, but it wasn't. To his surprise, the person who pushed open the door was General Manager Meng Qingqiu.

Upon seeing her, Qin Chuan basically understood what was going on.

Today's General Manager Meng Qingqiu no longer had her former arrogance. She kept her head slightly lowered, looking cautious and wary.

"Secretary Qin, I've come to apologize to you. I was wrong, truly wrong."

Qin Chuan gave a cold smile. "General Manager Meng, how could a big executive like you be wrong? It's always others who are wrong, while you are always right."

General Manager Meng Qingqiu's face burned with shame. "Secretary Qin, I was immature before. Now I finally understand. I was really wrong. I beg you to give me a break."

Qin Chuan looked solemn. "We are all adults. Since you've made a mistake, you must have the courage and responsibility to face the consequences."

"No, no." General Manager Meng Qingqiu waved her hands hurriedly. "Secretary Qin, I beg you to give me a break. Please put in a word with the relevant departments for me. Don't let them investigate me. I really don't want to go to prison. A fine—how about a fine instead?"

As long as it could be solved with money, she could accept anything.

Worried that Qin Chuan wouldn't agree, General Manager Meng Qingqiu followed up immediately, "As long as you help me with this, there will definitely be no shortage of benefit fees. Here is five million. If I get through this crisis, there will be another five million for you."

With that, General Manager Meng Qingqiu placed a bank card on Qin Chuan's large desk. "Secretary Qin, the PIN is six zeros. Please, help me. I was really wrong."

If it were anyone else, they might have agreed immediately for the sake of so much money, but Qin Chuan did not.

Was he short of money? He wasn't short of it at all.

In the world of officialdom, Qin Chuan had only one philosophy: either don't make enemies, or once you do, you must crush them completely without the slightest mercy.

With someone like General Manager Meng Qingqiu, if you let her off today, she might secretly strike back even harder after licking her wounds. That would put him in a passive position.

There was absolutely no need to leave such a hidden danger for himself. General Manager Meng Qingqiu had to be sent to prison. With the things she had done, she wouldn't be coming out for eight or ten years.

Heh.

Qin Chuan sneered. "Meng Qingqiu, I'll give you one word: scram! Get as far away from me as possible!"

What!

He wasn't even tempted by five million.

General Manager Meng Qingqiu was a bit surprised. After hearing the word "scram," her expression changed slightly. "Secretary Qin, are you really not going to show any mercy? Must you be so heartless?"

Qin Chuan waved his hand. "Will you scram yourself, or should I call someone to drag you out?"

General Manager Meng Qingqiu picked up the bank card and looked at Qin Chuan. she really wanted to say something threatening, but thinking of the other's terrifying background, she forced herself to swallow those words back down.

After leaving Qin Chuan's office, the first thing General Manager Meng Qingqiu thought of was running away. She had to leave quickly. Before the people from the relevant departments found her, she would leave Jiangnan Province and go abroad as fast as possible. As long as she reached another country, everything would be safe.

Before running, the first person she thought of was Takahashi Taro.

She called him again, but it still wouldn't go through. She thought to herself, surely he hasn't come out of the Public Security Bureau yet? That shouldn't be the case.

What General Manager Meng Qingqiu didn't realize was that Takahashi Taro had already been taken away by National Security, and it was impossible for him to ever come out again.

She moved quickly, but the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Supervisory Commission were not slow either. As she dragged her suitcase out of the villa, preparing to get into her car for the airport, she was blocked and caught. She was then taken away for investigation, where one illegal crime after another was uncovered.

A few days later, Vice Minister Meng Zhengguo's formal arrest was approved. General Manager Meng Qingqiu followed shortly after. The father and daughter could now reunite in a prison cell.

At this point, Vice Minister Meng Zhengguo felt a bit of regret.

How had he been so blinded by anger? How could he have been so foolish as to go after Jiangnan University? That was a top C9 League school. Targeting an institution is completely different from targeting an individual.

If he hadn't gone after Jiangnan University but had instead seized the opportunity to target Qin Chuan personally, maybe things wouldn't have ended up like this.

He never would have guessed that targeting Qin Chuan personally would have had equally serious consequences. He simply shouldn't have offended Qin Chuan; behind the man was the colossal Qin Family.

Up until his arrest, Vice Minister Meng Zhengguo still hadn't truly figured out Qin Chuan's background. Perhaps it was because he believed his own background wasn't bad either; he thought that if Qin Chuan had a background, it would be at most similar to his own, so why be afraid? He never dared to imagine that Qin Chuan was the third generation of the Qin Family.

Qin Chuan didn't pay any special attention to the situation of the Meng father and daughter, but someone still reported the situation to him. After hearing it, he was in a pretty good mood.

Today was the weekend.

In the afternoon, Qin Chuan and Zhu Qingxi walked hand in hand through the campus. Without realizing it, they walked out of the school gates and arrived outside the main entrance.

It was very lively outside the school gate. The area was quite spacious, featuring a small plaza surrounded by many shops. Commercial activity was very developed here.

Since it was a weekend afternoon, the foot traffic was heavy.

Not long after the two of them came out, intending to browse nearby, Qin Chuan noticed a crowd gathered not far ahead. It seemed that something had happened.

"Come, let's go take a look."

As the Party Committee Secretary of the school, if something happened at the school's main entrance, he definitely had to go check it out immediately.

Most of the people gathered here were students from Jiangnan University, with a few curious locals and nearby shopkeepers.

Several Urban Management Officers were dealing with a young girl. From the look of it, the girl was likely a student at Jiangnan University.

The young girl looked quite poor; her pants were washed until they were faded white, and her shoes were a bit worn, but they were very clean.

She was holding a large bunch of balloons, crying and pleading.

"I beg you, please stop stomping on them, please stop."

"I won't sell them anymore. I'll leave right now."

"Sob, sob..."

The Urban Management Officers were very rough and barbaric. They completely ignored the young girl's tearful pleas, snatched the balloons away, and stomped on them one by one on the ground.

If it weren't for the pressures of life, where even the money for food was an issue, Xia Ziqing wouldn't have come to the school gate to sell balloons.

She had spent the only hundred or so yuan she had to buy these balloons as stock, thinking she could earn a little money for food by selling them. She never expected that before she could even make a sale, she would be targeted by these Urban Management Officers.

She was terrified; she had never encountered such a brutal situation.

This scene also filled many people with righteous indignation. Young students are always full of hot blood, unlike ordinary citizens whose edges have long been smoothed over by society.

One male student couldn't stand it and said loudly, "You guys are going too far! She already begged for mercy and said she'd stop selling and leave immediately, yet you're still stomping on her balloons!"

"Exactly, exactly! This is just too much!"

"These people are acting just like bandits!"
