I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

Hu Xiaoxiao read the letter several times and asked: "Chen Ling, what do you want to do? I know you are rich, but you don't need to give me money like this. I don't accept it."

Hu Xiaoxiao handed the things back to Chen Ling, and continued: "I don't need that much money. I can make money myself. My parents have retirement wages and insurance. We are not short of money!"

Chen Ling took the letter, folded it again, and reloaded the envelope with the small card.

"Xiaoxiao, this is not for you, this is compensation, you must collect it for your brother."

Hu Xiaoxiao was puzzled and asked: "Compensation?" When Chen Ling mentioned compensation for the first time, Hu Xiaoxiao thought that Chen Ling was a slip of the tongue and did not think about the meaning.

Chen Ling nodded and said, "Yes, it's compensation. Most of the truth about what happened at the Radisson Hotel that day has been made public, and you will know if you want to come."

"Compensation?" Hu Xiaoxiao didn't understand. When Chen Ling talked about compensation for the first time, Hu Xiaoxiao thought that Chen Ling was a slip of the tongue and did not think about the meaning of it.

Chen Ling nodded and said, "Yes, it is compensation. A compensation for the murder of your brother by the Morris family."

When mentioning the murder of his brother, Hu Xiaoxiao looked sad, and said in a deep voice: "I don't blame you for the Radisson Hotel. It is the ODF company. Whether you can't come to Mali, they will attack my brother and them. Yes. And, you have avenged my brother and them, haven't you?"

Hearing Hu Xiaoxiao personally said that he would no longer blame himself, Chen Ling relaxed in his heart and said, "Thank you, Xiaoxiao! However, this compensation must be given."

Chen Ling talked about his reasons carefully.

"Xiaoxiao, the attack on the Radisson Hotel was a single action with two targets. The ODF company that planned the action, their target was the CR company delegation where your brother worked; but, as Bill told you, Morris Someone in the family wanted to get rid of me, so a group of militants were dispatched that day, not letting go of any Chinese face in the hotel lobby."

"Xiaoxiao, because of your brother's outstanding work, which violated the interests of ODF and local forces, he suffered a scourge. And it was my family power who acted as the head of the patriarch who started the murder..."

Hu Xiaoxiao said: "So, your family compensates us for this money?"

"Yes. I have executed all those involved in the Radisson Hotel attack..."

"Did you do it yourself?" Hu Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Ling's eyes, a little weird.

Chen Ling shook his head and smiled: "No, only the one who fired the gun directly was handled by me, and the rest were done by the people below."

Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something, with a worried expression on his face, looked around and said: "With so many people dead, will the police trouble you?"

"Don't worry, this is Mali. These things are easy to handle. Anyway, this money is our family's compensation to your family. I hope you will accept it."

"Too much! The state gave 2 million yuan, but you gave 2 million US dollars, which is inappropriate." Hu Xiaoxiao still refused, with a firm expression.

Chen Ling looked at Hu Xiaoxiao's stubborn look and had to say, "You can't make decisions for your parents? You take it first, and then go back to discuss with your parents, maybe they agree?"

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't think of this, she stretched out her hand to straighten the short hair in her ear, and pursed her lips for a while, then said: "You are right, I can't call the shots for them. I will hold it first. If they disagree, I will Back to you."

Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You don't need to pay me back. If they don't agree to ask for the money, you can use it for charity, such as donating to poor students who need money, or donating to build Hope Primary School."

"You just want to ask me to accept this money, don't you?"

Chen Ling stood up and said, "I'm going to board the plane."

He opened his arms towards Hu Xiaoxiao and said: "Foreigners and others have to hug each other when they say goodbye. We go to the village and do as the customs..."

Hu Xiaoxiao also stood up, taking a short stature, and leaning against Chen Ling's arms, the two gently hugged each other.

"Xiaoxiao, the journey goes smoothly! Be sure to send me a message when you get home, either by email or QQ."

"Well. You are in Africa, you must pay special attention to safety, don't take risks in the future, stay away from those dangerous people, okay?"

"Okay, I promise you."

The ODF scandal caused a series of chain reactions. A group of senior executives from the Mali government and the Senegalese government, and a group of military officers in the two countries’ military have been implicated, demoted, or detained for investigation.

The response from the public has been great, and there are calls for independent construction of railways one after another. The media of the two countries are enthusiastically discussing the possibility of self-financing the construction and operation of railways.

At this time, the President of the Republic of Mali and the President of the Republic of Senegal issued a statement after a meeting that the two countries have jointly established a railway company to independently construct and operate the Bamako-Dakar railway, connecting important cities along the line. , Connecting the port of Dakar, laying the foundation for the economic zone along the railway.

The two heads of state announced at the same time that the railway company has raised most of the funds needed to build the railway, and will soon begin design and construction, and it is expected to be completed and opened to traffic within four years.

Immediately after the news was announced, large groups from all over the world came to Mali and Senegal, rushing to visit various relevant departments, have the strength to meet the president directly, promote their own group, and hope to participate in the construction of this 1,300-kilometer railway.

However, the replies received by these groups are almost identical. The Bamako-Dakar railway has been fully responsible for the railway company Chansrail. Interested companies can contact Chansrail directly.

CR's office in Mali is located in the city center. They followed this railway most closely, but after the Radisson Hotel incident, the company was silent for a while, and CR was rarely mentioned in media reports from various countries.

For a time, CR Company was a little left out in front of the door.

Zhou Tianming is the general manager of CR's International Department. One of his daily tasks is flying around the world, representing the company in various meetings and business negotiations, and expanding business.

This time because of the Radisson Hotel attack, he made a special trip to Mali, not only to do a good job in the aftermath, but also to continue to promote the Bamako-Dakar project.

However, due to the scandal of ODF, the government departments and companies that took the initiative to post CR company in the past have changed their faces and kept their distance from CR company to avoid trouble.

This made CR's work very difficult. As the general manager of international business, Zhou Tianming felt great pressure. Because, according to estimates at the beginning of the year, the Bamako-Dakar railway is a large project that will be held this year, and it is the basic guarantee for the performance of the entire CR company’s new international contracts.

If this project falls into his home, where can I find a project of the same scale?

On this day, Zhou Tianming was convening a meeting with He Chaoxu and others to discuss the project, and suddenly received an unfamiliar call.

Putting down the phone, Zhou Tianming said: "A Chinese, claiming to be Hu Datong's friend before his death? On behalf of MOIN, have you heard of this company?"

He Chaoxu asked the colleague next to him in a low voice: "Moyin Company? Is it a record company?" He Chaoxu obviously hadn't heard of this company.

Zhou Tianming thoughtfully said: "I always feel like I have heard of this company somewhere. This person said that he has a railway project and wants to cooperate with us, so he will visit us in a while."

He Chaoxu smiled and said, "It's not the first to say this, and it won't be the last."
