It took a full two hours to finalize all the details.
"Chairman Gu, I wonder if you have ti tonight, I would like to invite you to a simple al on behalf of myself."
Xue Lin knew that the Gu Bai in front of him was the CEO of a billion-dollar company. If he could persuade Gu Bai to establish part of his business in Xuyong County, it would undoubtedly give a significant boost to the local economy. Feeling sowhat embarrassed, he decided to speak up, knowing that Gu Bai was several years younger than his own son.
"Thank you for your kind invitation, County Magistrate Xue, but a batch of supplies will be arriving here tonight, and I need to be there to receive it. How about another ti?"
Gu Bai understood Xue Lin’s intentions but still directly declined.
There was no other reason. Although Black Swan Group was involved in many industries, they were primarily in the entertainnt and internet sectors and had no physical industries. There was no way to help Xue Lin in this regard, so it was better to decline outright rather than engage in superficial pleasantries over dinner.
Xue Lin felt a bit disappointed but said nothing more.
"However, County Magistrate Xue, there is sothing else I would like to ask you about."
"Please go ahead, Chairman Gu."
"Here’s the issue: Recently, our foundation allocated 50 million here, intending to use Xuyong County as a starting point to extend educational charity throughout Celestial Province. However, this money was blocked and, without our foundation’s knowledge, more than 2 million was misappropriated. Are you aware of this matter?"
Shi Haishui’s fat body trembled; what was ant to co has arrived.
Upon hearing this, Xue Lin imdiately furrowed his brows and turned to his secretary, asking, "Did this happen?"
The secretary shook his head, "No similar work report has been received."
Seeing Gu Bai’s sowhat mocking expression, Xue Lin knew that his subordinates probably did sothing behind his back. His face turned ashen.
million in funds, and as the county magistrate, he wasn’t even aware, especially as it was charitable funding. It had to be said, the audacity of these people was enormous.
"Rest assured, Chairman Gu, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation!"
The Gu Bai in front of him was the savior of Xuyong County’s education; his importance was undoubtedly top-tier. If a satisfactory explanation wasn’t given, what if he decided to leave for sowhere else?
Where couldn’t charity be done?
"Since County Magistrate Xue is unaware, then it’s fine. I have already instructed our legal team to draft a letter to Chairman Shi and invited the Celestial Province’s Charity General Association to assist in the investigation. I just wanted to inquire from you."
Upon hearing Gu Bai’s words, Shi Haishui’s fat body slid directly from his chair.
Seeing Shi Haishui’s state, the seasoned Xue Lin understood a bit of the situation.
"Rest assured, Chairman Gu, our local governnt will also fully cooperate and will not be a shield for any parasites!"
Gu Bai smiled and shook hands with Xue Lin upon hearing this.
"I certainly believe in County Magistrate Xue. I will have our foundation trustee Zhuang Kexin keep following up on this. Compared to our 2 billion in funds, 2 million is nothing, but I want every penny of it to be used for the people who truly need help."
After bidding farewell to Xue Lin, Gu Bai left the eting room directly.
Yi Jiahui and others quickly followed in Gu Bai’s footsteps.
As for Shi Haishui, akin to a puddle of mud, Gu Bai didn’t spare him a second glance.
He had long said that people of this caliber didn’t even require his direct attention; he only had to move his lips, and there would be plenty willing to help send them into a state of irreparable ruin.
