Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System Chapter 286 - 201: The President Steps In (Part 2)

Li Yaohua noticed his difficulty and knew he couldn’t make a decision on this matter, so he said directly, "Let’s do this, since your Ministry of Mining can’t make the call, could you help arrange a eting with the Vice President? I’ll talk to him personally."

Upon hearing this, Bogus felt relieved. He couldn’t afford to offend Li Yaohua, but neither did he want to offend the Vice President. Being able to extricate himself from this situation was the best outco.

He quickly nodded in agreent, "Alright, please wait a mont, I’ll contact him now."

Saying this, he hurried to the desk, picked up the phone, and made a call.

A few minutes later, Bogus returned to the sofa, smiling, and said, "Mr. Li, I have inford the Vice President about this matter, but he is currently attending a eting in Morocco and cannot discuss matters with you in detail."

"Do you think you could wait a few days until the Vice President returns? I’ll inform you as soon as possible."

Li Yaohua sneered upon hearing this, "No need, I don’t have ti to waste here with you."

Saying this, he took out his phone from his pocket, stood up, and walked to the window.

He had only t the Vice President twice and wasn’t familiar with him. Since the Vice President was avoiding him, he decided to contact his superior directly.

The call was quickly connected.

Li Yaohua said while holding the phone, "I am Li Yaohua from the Fu Group, please help schedule a eting with the President."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun was once again shocked by the power of the Fu Family.

Being able to directly contact the South African President with one phone call was incredibly intimidating.

Ye Hanwen, however, showed no surprise, as if he was expecting this.

"Yes, I am in South Africa now and hope to et with the President as soon as possible."

"..."

After the call ended, Li Yaohua walked over to Qi Yun and said, "Mr. Qi, let’s go. Since Minister Bogus cannot provide assistance, let’s go et the President."

His words had a very obvious undertone, and Bogus broke into a cold sweat.

Not to ntion the expansive business the Fu Family has in Africa, their connections alone are terrifying enough. If he displeased them, it would be difficult for him to keep his position.

Thinking of this, Bogus quickly stood to apologize, "Mr. Li, I’m sorry for this matter. I..."

Li Yaohua interrupted him with a wave of his hand before he could finish, "Minister Bogus, I understand your difficulty, I will resolve this myself, but I hope Mr. Qi’s mining site won’t have any issues in the future, I’d appreciate it if you could take care of things."

Having said this, he patted Bogus on the shoulder and turned away.

After hearing this, Bogus breathed a sigh of relief, quickly caught up, and said, "Mr. Li, rest assured, I will make sure the people below understand clearly, and Mr. Qi’s mining site will certainly not face any trouble in the future."

...

After leaving the Ministry of Mining, Qi Yun and his party drove to the President’s Mansion.

Once the car was parked, Li Yaohua smiled at Qi Yun and said, "Would Mr. Qi like to accompany to et the President?"

Qi Yun shook his head slightly, "No need, it’s better if Mr. Li goes alone, having a stranger in your conversation wouldn’t be convenient."

Qi Yun understood that the invitation was only out of courtesy, and if it were truly convenient to bring him along, they wouldn’t have made a redundant offer.

"Alright, then please wait for a mont." After saying this, Li Yaohua opened the car door and headed towards the President’s Mansion.

Qi Yun sat in the car and looked through the iron fence of the President’s Mansion. He saw Li Yaohua exchange a few simple words with the guard before being respectfully let in.

Twenty minutes later, Li Yaohua returned to the car and handed over a docunt, explaining, "This is the approval docunt from the President’s office; the mining site recovery plan will be suspended."

Qi Yun took the docunt and directly handed it to Ye Hanwen, then said with a hint of gratitude to Li Yaohua, "Thank you for your imnse support, Mr. Li."

Li Yaohua smiled and waved his hand, "Mr. Qi, no need to be polite, I was simply following instructions from the boss."

Although he said this, Qi Yun still felt it was right to express his gratitude.

That evening, a banquet was held in the city’s most upscale hotel for Li Yaohua. After the dinner, Ye Hanwen placed a briefcase on the table in front of Li Yaohua, which contained diamonds worth over three million USD.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your help this ti. It’s a small token of appreciation, and please do not decline."

These diamonds were a decision made after discussions with Mr. Bi and others. Although their assistance was instructed by the Fu Family, it was still necessary to show so gratitude.

Most importantly, even though Li Yaohua isn’t part of the Fu Family by na, in Africa, he still represents the Fu Family. Building a good relationship with him will undoubtedly benefit the company’s future developnt.

It’s unrealistic to say one can always ask Qi Yun to seek help from the Fu Family when encountering issues.

Maintaining a good relationship with Li Yaohua, coupled with Qi Yun’s connection with Fu Wentao, ans that in the future, smaller matters can be directly handled by Li Yaohua.

Li Yaohua glanced at the briefcase and then shook his head to refuse, "President Ye is too kind, I’ve received the gesture; please take back the briefcase."

Ye Hanwen felt a bit awkward and looked towards Qi Yun.

Recognizing that he needed to step in, Qi Yun lightly coughed and smiled, "Brother Li, I know you’re not concerned about these things, but since you helped us resolve such a big issue, we had to express our gratitude."

"In the future, in South Africa, our company will still rely on your support. Please consider it a gift from friends for our eting."

Upon hearing this, Li Yaohua laughed heartily, "Alright, since Brother Qi has spoken, it would seem rather ungrateful if I didn’t accept the gift."

"I will accept it for now, and I am honored to beco friends with you both. Let’s continue to help each other in the future."

Having said this, he placed the briefcase by his feet without examining its contents.

To him, it didn’t matter what was inside; given his status, the monetary value was negligible. What he truly valued was Qi Yun’s connection with Fu Wentao.

Though he held a significant role in the Fu Group, he remained just a high-level employee, unable to enter the core of the Fu Family.

Before coming to South Africa, Fu Wentao had personally called him, asking him to co and assist Qi Yun in resolving the problem, which showed their unusual relationship. Normally, tasks were rarely assigned to him directly.

So he had already decided to seize this opportunity to build a good relationship with Qi Yun, as it might help him take that crucial step in the future.

Seeing Li Yaohua accept the items, Ye Hanwen internally sighed with relief.

The resolution of the mining site crisis was completely reliant on Qi Yun’s connections, which left him feeling sowhat ashad, as his years spent in South Africa seed wasted.

With the gratitude expressed and the tokens given, the dinner was close to its conclusion.

Upon exiting the hotel, Li Yaohua shook Qi Yun’s hand and said, "Brother Qi, I have work arrangents tomorrow, so I can’t stay longer. Let’s et again when I return to the country."

Qi Yun smiled sincerely and replied, "Brother Li, you’re too polite; there will be ample opportunities for to thank you properly."

Li Yaohua waved his hand with a smile, "No need for thanks, don’t be a stranger; contact anyti if you encounter any difficulties."

"Certainly, will do."

After seeing Li Yaohua off, Qi Yun and the others returned to their accommodation.

The next day, Ye Hanwen took the President’s office docunt and revisited Bogus, whose attitude was extrely courteous, imdiately stating that he would communicate with the relevant departnts to send personnel to the mining site and resolve the private ard harassnt issues.

Though nothing was explicitly stated, Ye Hanwen understood that the matter was essentially resolved.

...

In the following days, things were quite calm. Considering the instability in South Africa, Qi Yun even heard gunfire at night, so he didn’t track information, instead waiting for the salvage company’s ship to return.

Until the 25th, Kaisen from Deep Sea Exploration called him, informing that the salvage ship would return to Cape Town’s port the next day. Qi Yun imdiately bought tickets for him and his party to head to Cape Town.

Ye Hanwen also learned from Qi Yun that they were going for deep-sea salvage, so he specially arranged for Tata to join them to assist.
