Deng Shaoqun had been pushed to the edge of a cliff. It was the first time in his life that he was so timid. He did not expect to be tricked by a young man who had just started out. It was difficult for him to accept this result, so his mentality became extremely deformed, even a little twisted.
Family is Deng Shaoqun's sensitive point. He believes that officialdom games should not involve family members. This is the most basic principle. However, Fang Zhicheng has no bottom line and broke this rule, which made him furious.
Under Yu Jinping's contact, Deng Shaoqun met Jin Feng. To avoid being discovered, Deng Shaoqun chose a seemingly ordinary teahouse in the east of Hanzhou. From the outside, this teahouse doesn't look very special, but locals know that this teahouse has been open for a long time, almost more than ten years.
Deng Shaoqun knew the owner of this teahouse. He liked to eat the soup dumplings made by this teahouse and came here to eat almost once a week. Deng Shaoqun exchanged a few words with the owner and went up to the private room on the second floor.
Compared to when he was in the sea of clouds, Jin Feng looked more energetic. Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, black trousers, and shiny brown leather shoes, he looked like a successful man.
Yu Jinping introduced: "Secretary Deng, this is Jin Feng, a famous entrepreneur from Yinzhou."
Deng Shaoqun shook hands with Jin Feng and said with a smile, "I have long heard of Mr. Jin's name."
Jin Feng smiled and said, "Secretary Deng, I have always wanted to visit you, but you are too busy at work, so I am afraid to disturb you."
Deng Shaoqun waved his hand and smiled faintly: "Boss Jin may not understand my personality very well. I welcome customers like you. Whenever you come to me, I will definitely take time to communicate and exchange ideas with you."
Jin Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone says that Secretary Deng has a hot temper. I was quite nervous. Today, I found out that those were all rumors. You are very enthusiastic."
Deng Shaoqun laughed and said, "I do have a bad temper, but that is only related to work. If the people below me are not doing their job well, I will naturally say so and scold them if necessary."
Jin Feng naturally flattered him and said, "Secretary Deng, you are indeed a very straightforward person. You speak directly without beating around the bush. This is rare in the officialdom. I admire you very much."
Deng Shaoqun waved his hands and sighed, "My personality is not suitable for surviving in the officialdom. I want to change it, but I am old and my personality has been fixed. I can't change it at all. I just let it go."
Jin Feng shook his head gently and said, "Secretary Deng, this is your personal charm, don't change it. Now both the country and the province are focusing on training some officials with personality. I think you meet the requirements."
Jin Feng's skill of flattering was really superb, but Deng Shaoqun was not a superficial person. However, because of Jin Feng's various overtures, he became closer to him and became less wary. He smiled and asked, "Boss Jin, to be honest, the reason I met with you today is that I want to ask you about someone."
Jin Feng smiled knowingly, "Fang Zhicheng?"
Deng Shaoqun thought to himself that Jin Feng was very responsive, and nodded, "Yes, I heard that you were once his colleague and you know him well?"
Jin Feng sighed and said, "It may not be appropriate to say that he is a colleague. To be honest, he is my enemy."
"Enemy?" Deng Shaoqun thought to himself that this matter had become interesting. "Why did you become an enemy of him?"
Jin Feng showed a very frustrated expression and said, "Secretary Deng, I used to be a member of the system, but he destroyed my job and I couldn't make it anymore, so I went into business. Although I have achieved good results in business in the past two years, I still lack a sense of belonging..."
Deng Shaoqun asked curiously, "How did he force you to go into the sea?"
Jin Feng's conversation with Deng Shaoqun was very skillful. He has grown very fast in the past two years, from an arrogant secretary to a cunning and smart businessman. In the past, Jin Feng was arrogant. He would not take a district party secretary, let alone a mayor at the department level, seriously. Now Jin Feng has become a shrewd person who can adapt to the situation and is good at observing people's words and expressions.
A fall does not mean that you will never be able to stand up again. Jin Feng not only stood up, but also became more mature. Jin Feng sighed and said, "When Song Wendi took office in Yinzhou, I was the secretary of Mayor Xia Xiang. In order to fight for power, Song Wendi did not hesitate to create various conspiracies, which led to Mayor Xia's eventual downfall. Because of this incident, I was completely unable to stand in the officialdom and was forced to resign and do business. Fang Zhicheng was Song Wendi's secretary at the time, and many conspiracies were Fang Zhicheng's ideas. From a certain perspective, he is the culprit!"
Deng Shaoqun could hear Jin Feng's hatred for Fang Zhicheng from his angry tone. It must be said that Jin Feng's performance was really perfect. Deng Shaoqun completely believed that Jin Feng and Fang Zhicheng were in an irreconcilable relationship.
Deng Shaoqun nodded and said, "Brother Jin, your opinion on Fang Zhicheng coincides with mine. As the top leader of Xiaguang District, I naturally hope to have a good relationship with this deputy, but after he came to Xiaguang, he kept causing trouble and made me miserable. Now, he even started planning to murder my family, which has violated my bottom line."
Jin Feng's eyes showed hatred, and he said angrily: "He is a sinister villain who will do anything to get what he wants. To deal with him, you can only be smarter than him and use some vicious methods."
Deng Shaoqun asked in confusion: "Oh? Do you have a way to deal with him?"
Jin Feng laughed at this time and said, "Secretary Deng, I am just an ordinary person. How can I deal with a district chief like him? If you really want to deal with him, you need someone of the same weight."
Deng Shaoqun thought to himself that Jin Feng was smart enough. He had originally thought that since Jin Feng hated Fang Zhicheng so much, he could take advantage of the situation and use him to plot against Fang Zhicheng. How could Jin Feng fall for it? With just one simple sentence, he jumped out of the trap he had set.
Deng Shaoqun sighed lightly and said, "To be honest, I have also investigated Fang Zhicheng. This person has almost no weaknesses, and it is difficult to find a way to deal with him." Deng Shaoqun glanced at Jin Feng. He decided to give the right to speak to Jin Feng. Generally speaking, doing so can better find out the other party's thoughts.
Jin Feng remained calm and laughed, "That's because you don't know Fang Zhicheng well enough. He has many weaknesses, such as unclear relationships with a group of women, and his assets are never transparent..."
Deng Shaoqun asked doubtfully: "So what do you mean?"
Jin Feng thought to himself that Deng Shaoqun was too cunning. He had already explained it so clearly, but he still pretended to be confused. Jin Feng was too lazy to continue beating around the bush with Deng Shaoqun. He took out a document from his briefcase, put it next to Deng Shaoqun's hand, and said in a deep voice: "This is the information I have accumulated over the past few years. I believe you can use it."
Deng Shaoqun took it and flipped through it. A strange smile flashed across his lips. He slowly put the information aside and sighed, "I have accepted the information, but I am afraid it is not that easy to handle. Mr. Jin must have brought a project with him when he came to Hanzhou this time. I heard from Lao Yu that the scale of the project you brought is not small. You want to take over 400 acres of land at once. You are very ambitious."
Seeing that Deng Shaoqun had changed the subject, Jin Feng stopped bothering about Fang Zhicheng and said with a smile, "Xiaguang District has great potential, especially the southwest section where Hanzhou connects Qiongjin. It will become the main battlefield for the integration of Qionghan and Hanzhou, and has great room for appreciation in the future. To be honest, I used to be a real estate agent, and later I got along well with some real estate speculation groups. Last year, I started to get involved in real estate development and successfully operated several projects. I am confident that I can get the land, but I am afraid that Secretary Deng will not give me a discount."
Deng Shaoqun waved his hand and said, "I welcome you to invest in Xiaguang. As for the preferential policies, I will definitely give you the best policies in the district now."
After chatting with Jin Feng for another hour or two, the two said goodbye. Deng Shaoqun sat in his original seat and took a sip of tea. Yu Jinping saw Jin Feng off and walked in quickly. Deng Shaoqun pointed to the seat, asked him to sit down, and asked, "What do you think of this person?"
Yu Jinping shook his head and sighed, "It's hard to see through, it's hidden, and the kung fu is very deep."
Deng Shaoqun nodded in agreement and said, "He is very perceptive. He knows that we are not on good terms with Fang Zhicheng, so he threw out the bait." After he finished speaking, he pointed at the material on the table with his finger.
Yu Jinping asked, "Will it bite the bait?"
Deng Shaoqun frowned and fell silent. He naturally realized that Jin Feng wanted to use him to take revenge on Fang Zhicheng. The information above must have been carefully prepared, and every move against Fang Zhicheng was fatal. But he had to think carefully. Since he had taken Jin Feng's information, would he be led by Jin Feng and eventually become a pawn in Jin Feng's hands
During this long silence, Deng Shaoqun's phone suddenly rang. It was Zhao Qianhe, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, who called. He said in an uneasy tone, "Boss, something is wrong. I was planning to have a good chat with the victims' families to see if we could resolve the matter privately. I didn't expect that the two victims' families had been hidden and we couldn't find them at all. I suspect someone has done something to prevent us from finding them."
Deng Shaoqun knew Zhao Qianhe's intention. The so-called talking to the family members was to coerce and induce them to change their minds and give up the idea of pursuing responsibility. In this way, Deng Shaoan would be released without guilt. But now that the family members were hidden, this way was blocked.
Deng Shaoqun slammed his palm heavily on the materials that Jin Feng gave him, and said in a deep voice: "Since you don't follow the rules at all, there is no need for me to give you any leeway, let's fight to the death!"
Yu Jinping saw anger in Deng Shaoqun's seemingly calm attitude. He felt something was wrong, but he didn't say it out loud. After all, Deng Shaoqun was in this state and it was difficult for him to listen to him.
