The two of them were affectionate for a while, and since it was getting late, they left together. An Baoqing sent them all the way to the underground parking lot, which was very hidden and unlikely to be discovered. While Zuo Yuxi was getting the car, Wen Liang asked about Pan Guofei. An Baoqing whispered, "Don't worry, Young Master Wen. It has been arranged and is being processed. In two or three days, that guy will definitely sign and give up all his rights."
Wen Liang watched the Lexus slowly drive over, nodded without saying anything, opened the door and got in. The Minister of Security was very capable, and since he dared to guarantee it, there would be no omissions.
Zuo Yuxi had only used this Lexus two or three times, and few people in the city would recognize it, so he didn't hesitate to send it directly to the gate of Courtyard No. 7. Wen Liang had just jumped out of the car and was about to make a few jokes with Zuo Yuxi when he saw a Santana with a Municipal Party Committee license plate driving over from the opposite direction.
No matter who the visitor was, Zuo Yuxi didn't want to meet the other party at this time and place. She smiled at Wen Liang, turned the car around and left quickly.
The driver, Xiao Wang, was a well-known talker in the Municipal Party Committee's small car team. He said, "Eh!" and pointed at Wen Liang and said, "Director Wen, isn't that Xiao Liang? Wow, it's a Lexus, it's even more advanced than yours!"
Wen Huai knew that this guy was always outspoken, so he didn't mean to mock him. He just smiled and didn't respond. If someone else dared to speak like that, he would have been beaten up countless times and died without knowing how. But Xiao Wang was straightforward and not a bad person. He was also a distant relative of Deputy Secretary Feng, so he was able to stay in the Municipal Party Committee.
Wen Huaiming got out of the car with his briefcase under his arm. Xiao Wang hurriedly picked up two packs of Supreme Gold cigarettes from the back seat and called out, "Director Wen, your cigarettes..."
Wen Huaiming waved his hand, signaling him to take it. Xiao Wang smiled, put his hand on the passenger seat, leaned forward, and said like he saw on TV, "Thank you for the reward, boss!"
Wen Huaiming pointed at him and scolded him with a smile: "Two packs of cigarettes can't stop you from talking. I will regret it!"
Xiao Wang quickly stuffed the cigarette under the seat and said, "I'll pick you up at 7 o'clock tomorrow?"
Wen Huaiming said, "Six-thirty, I've been busy lately, so the earlier the better."
"Okay!"
The car drove away, and a gentle laugh came from behind: "There are three things that an official should do: one is to be honest, two is to be clear, and three is to be powerful. Dad, you took two packs of cigarettes, so the word honest is written wrongly. You took the bribe and let such a big mouth know about it, not to mention the word clear. The worst thing is that you smiled at him, so how can you be powerful..."
Wen Huaiming snorted coldly and said, "He is Feng Wenxue's spy. It won't take much effort to win him over. But you, whose car did you just take? Don't think you can fool him by taking the initiative. I tell you, it's useless!"
Wen Liang laughed loudly and said without hiding anything from him, "It was Zuo Yuxi..."
Wen Huaiming walked into the courtyard with a stern face, took two steps, and suddenly said: "Take some time to give Zuo Yuxi a shot of prevention, Zhou Fan and the other two may not..."
Wen Huaiming opened his mouth but didn't finish the rest of the sentence. Wen Liang naturally understood what he meant. After two lives, many endings were already expected by him. A cold light flashed in his eyes, but he smiled and said, "I understand!"
"I hope Zuo Yuxi can understand..."
Wen Huaiming quickened his pace. Wen Liang stood there and pondered for a moment. When he looked up, he saw that his father had gone far away, so he hurriedly followed him.
After dinner, Wen Liang and Ding Mei stayed in the living room to watch "The Unforgiven". This drama, which was released in 1989, caused a huge sensation as soon as it was released. During the TVB anniversary celebration, it was known as the highest-rated drama among Chinese people in the world. Although a few years have passed, the rebroadcast of the Qingzhou local TV station still caused a viewing boom. While watching, Ding Mei cursed at Ding Youkang, played by Deric Wan, and almost threw the teacup onto the TV screen several times. Wen Liang was afraid that the only high-end appliance in the house would suffer a fatal blow, so he decided to divert Ding Mei's attention and said with a smile: "Mom, I find that your worldview is very problematic!"
"Huh?" Although Ding Mei was not well educated, she knew that if there was something wrong with her worldview, it would mean that her entire life would be completely denied. She stared at her son with a very unfriendly look.
Wen Liang was experienced in dealing with mothers, and said seriously: "Why do you think Ding Youkang is bad? Because he wanted to get ahead, but he had no way, no backing, no connections, so he had to bend down and work hard to get ahead. He didn't care about his face, his mother, his brothers, and his wife, but his determination to get ahead was not shaken at all. This kind of tenacity and spirit is a necessary element for every successful person."
Ding Mei almost vomited blood after hearing this twisted logic. He grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, cursing, "Bullshit! He killed people and set fires, and he is so cruel and heartless. But he is ambitious and successful? You must have watched too much TV. How can there be such a bad guy in real life?"
Wen Liang took the pillow and held it in his arms, saying, "Everyone, please present the facts and reason with me. If you can't win, just hit me. Be careful or I'll tell grandma about your misdeeds!"
Ding Mei was at a loss as to what to do. She was not afraid of anything except being scolded by Grandma Wen Liang. She snorted coldly and temporarily gave up on using violence.
Wen Liang immediately pressed the issue, saying, "There are many people with his personality in real life. Some people may just be shameless, some don't want family affection, and some don't want love. The TV show just concentrates all the shortcomings on one person to create dramatic tension. In the final analysis, Ding Youkang, who is so bad, is just a reflection of the real society!"
There seemed to be some truth in these words, but Ding Mei still felt that her son's thoughts had gone astray. She couldn't find any words to refute, so she slammed the table and shouted, "Old Wen, come out and do ideological work..."
Wen Huaiming's voice came from the study: "Admit your mistake to your mother!"
Well, the words were concise and clear. Wen Liang curled his lips and said, "Okay, I was wrong!"
Ding Mei hugged her son with a smile and asked, "Is Ding Youkang a bad guy?"
"bad!"
"good!"
Wen Liang naturally did not agree with Ding Youkang's world view, and these words were mostly meant to tease Ding Mei. But although TV dramas are all about telling stories, there is truth hidden in the stories!
Good guys and bad guys have never been so clear-cut!
Wen Liang turned his head and saw Maggie Shiu saying to Deric Wan: When I was a kid, I had a very silly idea that every time I saw
My own shadow on the ground, I always want to jump over it, but every time I can't jump over it, the shadow is always in front of me, but then I finally understand, I think of how to jump over it, do you know how to jump? (She smiled, jumped and turned around) Look, the shadow is behind me, many things should not only think about the past, but also think about the future.
By jumping over your own shadow, you can walk out of the darkness and into the light. Unfortunately, some people cannot do it in their entire life, so Ding Youkang died in the end.
Since his rebirth, what Wen Liang has done, is doing, and will do is nothing more than trying to jump out of his own shadow, even if this shadow is separated by a time and space.
Just like the theme song goes, what do I want in life? I can never see through the confusion. I didn't expect that what I lost was everything I had.
When Ding Mei yawned and went back to her room to sleep, Wen Liang knocked on the study door and walked in. Wen Huaiming was bending over the desk sorting out documents, and without raising his head, he asked, "Is your mother asleep?"
"Well, what are you busy with?"
"There are some minor issues that need to be discussed at tomorrow's office meeting. I need to review them again."
Wen Liang looked at his father under the light. His black hair reflected the silver light, as if it had turned white in an instant. He sighed inwardly and asked, "When will your appointment come down?"
Wen Huaiming paused and said, "It's only been these few days, but it seems that someone in the province has said something, and Secretary Xu has some resistance... But it's no big deal, don't worry!"
Wen Liang didn't really know about this incident, nor had he heard Zuo Yuxi mention it. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Lin Zhen?"
Wen Huaiming leaned back on the chair, pressed his brows with his fingers, and said, "It should not be just him... In fact, it doesn't matter who it is. Secretary Yu Peidong knows my name, and that's enough!"
That's true. With the in-depth study of the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, Wen Huaiming's name has spread throughout Jiangdong. It's not surprising that some people are jealous and do some small things.
However, the difference between Wen Liang and Wen Huaiming is that it is also very important to find out who it is!
He suppressed his worries and said, "I'm going to call Liu Tianlai back today, and the case in Shunyi should be settled..."
Wen Liang explained the cause and arrangements in detail. Wen Huaiming couldn't suppress his surprise and walked back and forth in the study. This habit was very similar to Wen Liang.
"Okay, it would be a good idea to start with He Kuan. However, we don't have enough evidence, so it's inappropriate to involve the police. Let the Discipline Inspection Commission step in first and say that someone has reported that Tang Gonghong has work style and economic problems. They will be locked up for investigation, and then Yang Xiaohong and He Ying will be interrogated suddenly, and their homes will be searched... Well, we have to keep it confidential and cut off any contact between them and the outside world, so that we can make it work in one go... This should be done as soon as possible, I will report to Secretary Xu immediately!"
Wen Liang's original intention was to let Liu Tianlai arrange people to conduct reconnaissance on the periphery first, and then take action after having some evidence. However, he did not expect Wen Huaiming to be so decisive as to act first and report later.
"This... Xu Fuyan may not agree..."
Wen Huaiming had already walked to the door, turned around and smiled: "You, times have changed, Xu Fuyan is no longer the secretary who raised his hand. As long as there is a 30% possibility, it is worth taking action. Besides, if the Discipline Inspection Commission comes forward and really can't find any problems, everyone will have a way out..."
Wen Liang also laughed and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to use this step..."
He was confident that this time, he would not fail by taking the opponent by surprise!
The next morning, he received calls from Wen Huaiming, Zuo Yuxi and Liu Tianlai, all talking about the same thing: last night's raid was perfect. Yang Xiaohong admitted that she had an improper relationship with Tang Gonghe, and that she had three properties and a savings book of 200,000 yuan, which did not match her actual income. When He Ying heard that Tang Gonghe had spent so much money on this woman, she immediately went crazy and cursed, revealing a lot of information. Liu Tianlai then led people to seize a large amount of cash, jewelry and gold watches in the walls of their residence, which were of great value. Tang Gonghe was just a small director after all, and had never seen such a battle. In the face of evidence, he immediately turned against them and pushed all the blame on his father-in-law He Kuan.
Wen Liang hung up the phone, let out a long sigh, changed his clothes and went out.
Teacher Si, you have calmed down for these few days. I wonder if you are still willing to stand by my side!
