Chapter 189 Management Rights Contract
Office of the Party Secretary of Luzhou City.
Luo Jian was already waiting.
On the table lay a somewhat worn but clean and tidy contract.
"Minister Xia, this is the exclusive franchise agreement that was signed with Huilong Group back then."
Luo Jian smiled and got up to pour tea.
Xia Qing nodded and solemnly laid out the contract.
I flipped straight to the last page, the supplementary terms.
It was written clearly above.
Huilong Group enjoys all development and operation rights in the Crescent Lake area.
This right is held solely by Huilong Group.
This right may not be transferred, pledged, or sold in any form.
When there are no projects invested in by Huilong Group in Crescent Lake, this right will be automatically reclaimed!
Xia Qing, upon seeing this, suddenly realized what was happening!
It turns out that when Gao Yuliang signed the contract, he had already foreseen what might happen around it and made preparations in advance.
The moment the food court was demolished, Huilong Group's assets ceased to exist in Crescent Lake.
At that time, the franchise rights will be taken back by Luzhou.
Therefore, there is no possibility of pledging the operating rights to overseas lending institutions, thereby binding the Crescent Lake area with debt.
The eco-resort project can be launched normally!
Furthermore, they dared to accept the pledge of operating rights despite the contract.
It must be an illegal overseas lending company, or even a company controlled by the Zhao family behind the scenes.
Regardless, this contract exists.
Zhao Ruilong's scheme to plant hidden dangers in the resort project through franchising rights has been foiled!
The fact that Yi Xuexi reported Sha Ruijin's efforts to promote the resort project to the Deputy Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection can also be explained.
As for the matter of Sha Ruijin's brother-in-law Ni Fugui investing in the resort project.
At most, they'll just refund the funds and have Sha Ruijin explain the situation, and that'll be the end of it.
At this point, it's already the best possible outcome!
Xia Qing couldn't help but think of it again.
Since this supplementary agreement was signed when Gao Yuliang was in charge of Luzhou City, it means that he already knew that the pledge of management rights was untenable.
If only he had taken the initiative to ask Luo Jian to show him the contract.
Everything will fall apart on its own.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection wouldn't send anyone down, and Sha Ruijin wouldn't be suspended from his post.
Gao Yuliang remained inactive until things spiraled out of control before finally presenting the contract.
The reason behind this behavior is...
Xia Qing's eyes lit up.
Gao Yuliang intended to use this incident to teach Sha Ruijin a lesson, and then gain the initiative and the right to speak in front of this provincial party secretary.
Sha Ruijin will only know that the agreement Gao Yuliang signed back then saved his political life.
Little did they know that Gao Yuliang waited until he was suspended from his post and the matter alarmed the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection before he produced the contract.
The difference between heaven and earth was enough to make Sha Ruijin extremely grateful.
In the best-case scenario, Gao Yuliang could not only land safely, but also make clear arrangements for the Han University gang members, led by Qi Tongwei.
Moreover, Gao Yuliang exposed this person's true colors by recommending Yi Xuexi.
When Sha Ruijin returned to work, the first thing he cleaned up was Yi Xuexi.
Thus, of Sha Ruijin's two knives, one was demoted and relegated to the position of literary and art federation, while the other awaited a heavy blow from Sha Ruijin.
It's completely broken.
Gao Yuliang also retaliated by pointing out that Yi Xuexi had been focusing on the food court during his environmental inspections.
That's an amazing skill.
Xia Qing felt that she had learned a lot from Gao Yuliang since coming to Handong.
Even if you don't need to use this kind of fighting tactic, learning a few more moves can prevent someone from using similar tactics on you in the future.
Thinking of this, Xia Qing said to Luo Jian:
"Secretary Luo, has Secretary Yuliang made any other arrangements?"
"You can take this contract with you and show it to the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection," Luo Jian said with a smile.
"Just remember to return it intact."
Seeing Luo Jian's straightforwardness, Xia Qing also said:
"Okay, thank you, Secretary Luo."
Xia Qing took the contract, nodded to Luo Jian, and left the office.
Then, they went straight to the hotel where Tian Guofu's project investigation team was located.
There, Xia Qing saw members of the subsequent investigation team sent to Luzhou City to investigate the management rights.
The two investigation teams are discussing countermeasures together.
Tian Guofu sat in the middle, silent and with a somber expression.
When everyone saw Xia Qing enter, they all stood up and said:
"minister."
"Good morning, Minister."
"Old Xia, you're here?" Tian Guofu deliberately used the most affectionate form of address to distinguish himself from the others, saying:
"Did you find anything?"
Xia Qing wasn't in a hurry to announce the good news. Instead, she looked around and said meaningfully:
"Where is Deputy Team Leader Yi Xuexi? Why isn't he here?"
"Don't even mention it, that guy was too much." Tian Guofu sighed, his expression full of disdain.
"He actually told the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that returning to Handong rashly would result in retaliation, and requested to stay in Beijing until things settled down before returning..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qing chuckled and said:
"So, he was determined that his whistleblowing would earn him a major commendation from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection?"
Tian Guofu nodded, looking annoyed.
"Well, I have some good news for you all. Easy Learning's little tricks have backfired spectacularly."
Xia Qing took the contract out of her bag and placed it in front of Tian Guofu.
Tian Guofu opened the contract, and the more he looked at it, the more relaxed his brow became.
His eyes lit up when he read the last supplementary clause five or six times!
Only after confirming that the contract was genuine did Tian Guofu let out a long sigh of relief and laugh heartily.
"Haha, great, great contract! Well signed!"
Everyone around was dumbfounded, not understanding why Tian Guofu's behavior had changed so drastically.
Xia Qing smiled and said:
"Come and take a look, you'll understand once you see it."
The others gathered around, looking on with skepticism and frowning.
Without exception, upon seeing the last sentence, they all showed expressions of sudden realization followed by ecstatic joy.
Finally, cheers erupted throughout the hotel conference room.
The investigation lasted so long that it almost prevented them from returning to report.
Finally, at this moment, we are about to draw the curtain with a satisfactory conclusion.
The members of both investigation teams were relieved, and some of the female members, who usually felt a lot of pressure, even cried tears of joy.
Tian Guofu was also immersed in the jubilant atmosphere and remarked:
"Great, now we can give the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection an explanation..."
Seeing Xia Qing looking at him, Tian Guofu quickly added:
"Secretary Sha can come back! Congratulations!"
Xia Qing then turned her head away with a half-smile.
That same day, Tian Guofu led the investigation team members to draft a report.
The operating rights contract was also attached as supporting documentation.
When it was handed to Tang Fengcheng, the director of the inspection office finally smiled and patted Tian Guofu on the shoulder, saying:
"Thank you for your hard work. We should have done this sooner! It would have made it easier for you to report back and for me to fulfill my obligations."
Tian Guofu nodded in agreement, then asked:
"So, when can Yi Xuexi come back?"
"Then you guys decide," Tang Fengcheng said slyly.
"You're all eager to see this old friend, aren't you?"
