Su Lin said: "There is something strange about Zhicheng's life experience!"
Su Mo smiled and said, "I understand. He is not the eldest brother's son, but the eldest sister's son."
Su Lin was slightly startled, and said with a wry smile: "Things are not as simple as you think..."
After Su Lin explained the situation clearly, Su Mo looked solemn and reminded: "This matter is only between you and me. You must not tell anyone else, even your wife. Keep it a secret."
Su Lin took a deep breath and said, "Of course I know the seriousness of the matter. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret. Now I finally know why the old man concealed it so deeply and why he was so heartless..."
Su Mo's mind was also blank and he sighed.

A red domestic Volkswagen slowly stopped in front of the "Hongda Commercial Plaza", the main project of the integration of Qionghan. A woman who looked to be in her thirties stepped out of the driver's seat, then went to the back seat and opened the door. A middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties got out of the car. These two people were Qi Yun and Wen Jinglong who rushed to Hanzhou from Qiongjin.
Wen Jinglong did not even bring his secretary today. He and Qi Yun visited many places, mainly focusing on the Qiong-Han integration project, and also observed people's livelihood. As Qi Yun expected, Wen Jinglong must have felt a lot when he was able to observe the region he governed from the perspective of an ordinary person.
"The construction of the main project in Hanzhou is progressing better than that in Qiongjin." Wen Jinglong stood outside the construction site, took a quick look and whispered.
Qi Yun explained: "Because Hanzhou has a more urgent need for the project, the sooner the Qiong-Han integration project can take shape, the sooner it can bring actual benefits to the local area. Of course, there is another reason..."
Wen Jinglong glanced at Qi Yun, waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to explain, I can probably guess what you mean."
Qi Yun smiled and said, "Don't you think so?"
Wen Jinglong nodded and said, "The project in Qiongjin is basically at a standstill, mainly because the local city office has interfered many times. The Hanzhou government has not interfered too much with the project progress, so the main project here is being implemented as planned without any problems."
Seeing that Wen Jinglong had figured out the problem, Qi Yun smiled and said, "Secretary Wen, you are smarter than anyone else."
Wen Jinglong glanced at Qi Yun and said, "You are a very good lobbyist. You convinced me with facts. After I go back, I will ask the General Office to issue a document to give Hongda Group and other companies more freedom to operate."
Seeing Wen Jinglong's determination, Qi Yun said, "Let the capital market take over. Driven by their own interests, they will create more value than if the government took the lead."
Wen Jinglong nodded and smiled: "It's a very interesting sentence."
Qi Yun shook her head and laughed, "This is not my original creation!"
Wen Jinglong looked at Qi Yun deeply and said, "Isn't that what your old partner said?"
Qi Yun seemed to have been seen through by Wen Jinglong, and replied in a panic: "I don't know who said that."
Wen Jinglong smiled faintly, and he would not really argue with Qi Yun about this issue. After all, everyone has their own private life. As a leader, he values Qi Yun's personal ability more. Although Qi Yun has a strong Li Siyuan color, it was Li Siyuan who transferred her to the Provincial Party Committee Office. However, abandoning factional prejudices, Wen Jinglong saw many shining points in Qi Yun. After several detailed observations, he concluded that this was a female subordinate worth cultivating.
However, Wen Jinglong attaches great importance to Qi Yun, which is not a good thing, because now some people can spread that Qi Yun seduced Wen Jinglong with her beauty, and the officialdom is always a place of right and wrong.
Chapter 0577: Wen Jinglong's Secret Visit
Wen Jinglong had no other thoughts about Qi Yun. He truly appreciated Qi Yun's abilities. In a patriarchal society, especially in officialdom, female officials who possessed the qualities and abilities of Qi Yun were rare.
Wen Jinglong was over 60 years old, and he looked at Qi Yun like an elder looking at a younger generation. He didn't know about the rumors about him and Qi Yun in the provincial party committee compound, otherwise he would probably keep a certain distance from Qi Yun, not to maintain his own reputation, but to better protect Qi Yun, because once a female official is involved in a scandal, it will inevitably affect her personal image, which is different from male officials, who are too tolerant of society.
"Shall we go in and take a look?" Qi Yun took the lead and walked in front. Wen Jinglong put his hands behind his back with a solemn look on his face. Judging from the on-site construction situation, it was relatively standardized. The workers all wore safety helmets and the main building was wrapped in a green protective net. The noise was quite loud and it hurt their ears.
Qi Yun and Wen Jinglong were about to go deeper when someone spotted them. A middle-aged man asked in a local accent, "Where are you from? This is a construction site. It's very dangerous. You can't just come in and out."
Wen Jinglong smiled and said, "We were just passing by. We heard that a large square will be built here in the future, so we came to take a look in advance."
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "It's still unclear what's going on, so you should leave first."
Wen Jinglong knew that if he continued to pester, it would affect other people's work, so he and Qi Yun withdrew. Just as he was about to get in the car, a black car drove into the construction site, and then someone ran around and shouted orders, asking the workers to stop their work.
When Wen Jinglong saw Qi Yun preparing to start the car, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let's take a look, there seems to be something wrong."
Qi Yun nodded and said, "I guess someone came to inspect."
Wen Jinglong glanced at Qi Yun sideways, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Just as Qi Yun guessed, not long after, two black vehicles with Qiongjin license plates drove into the construction site, and then seven or eight people got out of the cars. Someone from the construction site ran over to greet them.
Wen Jinglong sighed and said, "Who are those people?"
Qi Yun analyzed: "Judging from the license plate, it should be issued in the same city. I have written down the number. I will verify it after I return."
Wen Jinglong showed a solemn expression on his face and said, "Let's not leave in a hurry for now. Let's see how long they stay and what they can find out."
Qi Yun was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Wen, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that half of the day will be spent on inspection work, and the construction site may not be able to operate normally this morning. At the same time, tomorrow, the construction site will make rectifications according to the instructions of the inspection team, and the progress of the project will slow down in the next two days."
Wen Jinglong's face flashed with anger, and he asked, "How often do you do this kind of inspections?"
Qi Yun sighed and said, "In Qiongjin, it's two to three times a week. In Hanzhou, it's less frequent, but on average it's still twice a week, and they're all surprise inspections."
Wen Jinglong made a secret visit to the site and witnessed with his own eyes why the efficiency of the intra-city project was so low. He showed a worried look on his face and said with emotion: "Qi Yun, you are thoughtful. If you hadn't found a way to bring me to this construction site, I'm afraid it would be hard for me to believe that the emergence of the intra-city office not only failed to improve the efficiency of the project, but also brought so many troubles to the intra-city project."
Qi Yun was slightly startled, and continued, "The key issue is not work efficiency. The city office is holding its purse very tightly. As long as the organizer does not complete the specified tasks according to their requirements, the support funds will be delayed or even deducted. Therefore, the organizer has no choice but to carry out the construction according to the requirements of the city office."
Wen Jinglong glanced at Qi Yun with a complicated look and said, "I finally understand what you mean. Just as you said, if the current unreasonable model is not rectified in time, I'm afraid the same-city project may really be fruitless."
The two sat in the car and waited for a long time before the inspection staff slowly came out. The leader of the group made a phone call to report on their work, saying, "Director Jin, according to your request, we have put forward nearly ten rectification requirements to Hanzhou today. We will also urge them to actively rectify them later."
