Parallel Lines of Rebirth

Chapter 200: The wind is rising

Views:

Ye Zhiwei and Wen Liang agreed to spend some time together, and he had many questions to ask, and then he reluctantly left. Wen Liang wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Brother Jiu, Manager Ye's hobbies are nothing special, right? Looking at that look, I shiver all over..."

An Baoqing found what he said interesting and said, "Old Ye was almost driven crazy by me recently. He stayed up until two or three in the morning every day but couldn't find a way to make Biluochun popular. After hearing what you said today, he naturally lost his composure. But I guarantee that he definitely likes women."

An Baoqing plays a smooth and versatile role in front of outsiders, but is actually quite gloomy in private. He can only tell such jokes when he is alone with Wen Liang.

This is also the charm of a gentle and gracious character, which can gather people of different personalities, identities and statuses around him and make them become one easily. Throughout the ages, those who have accomplished great things have all done this!

The two looked at each other and laughed out loud at the same time.

Wen Liang thought of his plan in Yishan County, and after a moment's hesitation, he picked up the purple clay teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for An Baoqing, and asked, "What do you think of Ye Zhiwei?"

An Baoqing's eyes flashed with surprise, not knowing why Wen Liang was suddenly interested in Ye Zhiwei, and said: "Old Ye's ability and loyalty are trustworthy. He is rigorous, careful and methodical in his work. He has been with me for almost ten years and has hardly ever let me down."

Wen Liang took a sip of tea and chuckled, "But what?"

An Baoqing also laughed and said, "But his vision is too limited to the land of Qingzhou. He instinctively rejects unfamiliar industries and lacks decisiveness and courage. For example, this time he strongly opposed the acquisition of Biluochun, thinking that tea is too risky and the rate of return is not high, and it is very likely that he will lose all his money. But he had to do it under my insistence, and he was uneasy about this for a long time. Ha..."

An Baoqing shook his head, as if lamenting the short-sightedness of his subordinates, but his eyes glanced at Wen Liang intentionally or unintentionally. Wen Liang was a cautious person, so he understood what he meant. He nodded calmly and said, "This is the fundamental difference between the eldest and the second in command. Manager Ye thinks about making money first, but you, Brother Jiu, think more deeply. With this factory, we can gain a firm foothold in Wujiang County, and then slowly develop the business, and gradually connect with the county, city, and even the province. On that day, Manager Ye will understand your foresight, Brother Jiu, haha!"

He pointed out a way for An Baoqing, but he didn't think too far ahead. He just wanted to win him over for Zuo Yuxi's sake. But for An Baoqing, it opened another door. If he handled it well, he might be able to jump out of the small circle of Qingzhou and expand his career to another field. To put it bluntly, the significance of Biluochun to An Baoqing was not making money, but more importantly, through this channel, he could go out of Qingzhou, go out of Jiangdong, and spread out another network of relationships in Suhai Province.

in the country, having connections means having everything!

By then, Jiangdong Province would have Zuo Yuxi as his support, and Suhai Province would have someone to look after him. Then, An Laojiu would be able to become an important figure spanning the two provinces. This would be a world of difference compared to being trapped in a corner of Qingzhou and being a godfather who was neither black nor white.

This kind of temptation, let alone spending two million in one go, even if it doubled, An Baoqing would not miss this opportunity! He knew in his heart that although he was considered a top figure in Qingzhou, he was far behind Gu Shitong, Fan Hengan and others.

Wen Liang was also moved by An Baoqing's genuine concern when he talked about Lin Zhen and Lian Zizhong's case just now. He wanted to give him some advice and suddenly thought of this. Otherwise, he would not have been interested in talking so much with Ye Zhiwei. And judging from the current situation, An Baoqing is loyal to Zuo Yuxi. The greater his power, the more help he will get. As long as he is cautious, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages overall! And far outweigh the disadvantages!

An Baoqing was shocked by Wen Liang again. He didn't expect that the thoughts buried deep in his heart could be seen through by the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him. Even just looking at his indifferent expression, perhaps he had already had this idea in mind since he mentioned Wujiang Biluochun when they first met.

With this thought, An Baoqing's expression became more respectful, and he said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Master Wen, so whether I can make a name for myself in Su Hai depends on your help and support..."

Wen Liang laughed loudly: "I don't deserve this! Well, I can't do big things, but if Brother Nine doesn't mind, I can do some small things like holding the horse's stirrups!"

An Baoqing said he didn't dare, and the two talked for a while. Finally, Liu Tianlai pushed the door open.

Wen Liang stood up and said with a smile: "Director Liu is late, so you have to drink three cups as punishment!"

An Baoqing understood and knew that Wen Liang and Liu Tianlai had something to discuss, so he stood up, said hello to Liu Tianlai, and went out to arrange the wine and food.

Liu Tianlai received a call from Wen Liang at about six o'clock. He had just come out of the bureau and was about to go to a friend's banquet, so he couldn't go. In order to avoid being seen, he didn't drive and took a taxi to the Great World Club. He was still a little late despite his haste.

"I'm late, I'm late. Three cups are too few. I'll punish myself with ten cups later. It's perfect. It's for good luck!"

Wen Liang clapped his hands and waited for Liu Tianlai to sit on the sofa on the other side. Without being polite, he asked directly, "Did Lin Zhen cause you any trouble?"

Speaking of Lin Zhen, Liu Tianlai's face immediately became serious, and his deep voice sounded like a buzzing sound: "Lin Zhen asked someone to look for me, but I hid and didn't see him. Qingzhou is easy to deal with. I reported the situation to Secretary Xu, and he ordered a thorough investigation. With this imperial sword, no one really dares to interfere. But..."

"Um?"

Wen Liang raised his eyebrows. He had come to Liu Tianlai just to find out how much pressure he had endured in the Lian Zizhong case. Although she had downplayed it when she met Zuo Yuxi yesterday, Wen Liang couldn't really let her shoulder all the pressure.

Liu Tianlai said: "People from the Provincial Public Security Department's Police Supervision Division are coming to take over Lian Zizhong's case. It's clear from the way they are preparing to treat the accidental discharge of the gun as an internal incident. If they take the person away, at most they will give him a warning, not to mention jail time, he won't even have to take off his hat."

Provincial department

Wen Liang rubbed his brows with his fingers. Lin Zhen really couldn't swallow this humiliation. He was going to fight with him and even involved his connections in the province.

"Fortunately, Master Wen, you had already made arrangements. You started with the Discipline Inspection Commission and skipped the shooting. You charged Lian Zizhong with corruption and bribery. This is the scope of work of the Discipline Inspection Department. Although the powers of the Supervision Office overlap, they cannot be compared with the Discipline Inspection Department after all. I used this excuse to block them. I heard... I heard that after Deputy Director Lin Liwen of the Provincial Department listened to the report of the Supervision Office, he directly called Director Zhao Xinchuan and angrily accused the Qingzhou Public Security System of being disorganized and undisciplined..."

"Lin Liwen, who is Lin Zhen?"

Wen Liang keenly sensed that the two must have some kind of relationship. Liu Tianlai smiled bitterly and said, "I only found out these past two days that Lin Liwen is actually Lin Zhen's uncle and a cousin of Lin Zhen's father..."

Lin Zhen came to Qingzhou from Guanshan to get gilded, and his relationship with deputy directors like Liu Tianlai was neither hot nor cold. Although his identity and background were widely spread in the Qingzhou officialdom, few people knew the real relationship. Officialdom affairs are always shrouded in clouds and mist, like flowers in the fog, sometimes far and sometimes close. Until the last moment, you will never know what the other party's real trump card is. If this incident had not happened, and if he had not heard some inside information from Zuo Yuxi, Liu Tianlai would only know that Lin Zhen was very powerful, but he would never know how powerful he was.

Although he had heard from Zuo Yuxi, Liu Tianlai, An Baoqing and others that Lin Zhen had a strong background, Wen Liang couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked, "What did Director Zuo say?"

Liu Tianlai seemed to recall something strange and opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Wen Liang looked at him strangely and said, "Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"

"Ah, it's okay." Liu Tianlai scratched his head and said, "Director Zuo just said three words, ignore him..."

Wen Liang was stunned for a moment, and then felt both amused and annoyed, this Zuo Yuxi! However, Lian Zizhong was caught red-handed, and the nearly one million yuan of funds could not be explained as having a legal source. Let alone Lin Liwen, even if it was a certain vice governor, if he was not from the same line as Xu Zuo, it would be almost impossible to save him!

Therefore, it was not too unreliable for Zuo Yuxi to say ignore him, but Liu Tianlai was in the public security system and had offended the leaders of the provincial department, so it was understandable that he was uneasy.

Wen Liang saw that he was not in high spirits, so he smiled and said, "Lian Zizhong has been transferred to the procuratorate for handling, so don't worry about it. As for Lin Zhen," he paused, "he has been here for more than a year, and he won't stay in Qingzhou for long. It's nothing serious, so you don't have to worry. By the way, Director Zuo has already said hello to Xu Fuyan, Uncle Liu, report your work to Xu Fuyan more often, and my father will also find a chance to speak for you, understand?"

Liu Tianlai couldn't hide the joy between his eyebrows. He followed Wen Liang through life and death, waiting for this day. He sat up straight on the sofa, barely maintaining his excitement, and said, "I understand!"

After talking about the Qinghua Factory case, Liu Tianlai suddenly laughed and said, "Yesterday, Shi Daqing from Yishan County came to see me and insisted on apologizing to you in person. I gave him a lecture and sent him back. Although this guy is not a good person, he still has his own way of doing things."

"That's right. He must have his own way of flattering the superiors and bullying the subordinates." Wen Liang heard that Liu Tianlai meant to plead for Shi Daqing, and maybe he accepted his gift in private. He didn't intend to ask about these trivial matters. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. There is nothing to worry about.

When it comes to Yishan, Wen Liang naturally asks a few more questions, and casually asks about the political situation in Yishan County. Unexpectedly, Liu Tianlai actually knows more about the situation in Yishan. After hearing these words, Wen Liang couldn't help but frown. If this is the case, the prospect of acquiring the Yishan Water Plant looks quite bad.

He suddenly remembered what Zuo Yuxi said. Could it be that he really had to replace the county party secretary

Wen Liang smiled bitterly. It is extremely difficult to move a local official...

(I had too many social events during the Chinese New Year, and I was barely awake for a few days. I finally got better these few days, but my handwriting is so rusty that the things I wrote are unsightly. I changed them if I wasn’t satisfied, which delayed me for a few more days. I was too embarrassed to see my brothers, so I had to shamelessly ask for a beating and SM. Just vent your anger, don’t pity me…)

(The status needs to be found slowly, so I'll just post it like this, otherwise the Rehmannia pills will not be taken in vain!)

(Also, brother Piaopiao, you are so awesome. I can only post it before the 16th to make your conspiracy fail, haha)
