Back in the hotel lobby, Ning Xi asked, "What happened?"
Wen Liang's face was gloomy, and he was obviously very annoyed. He didn't know what was going on, but his intuition told him that it should be very bad. Although he was busy running between Beijing and Qingzhou during this period and rarely met Ji Zheng, this person has always occupied a relatively important position in Wen Liang's plan. Not to mention that the reform of Qinghua Factory is related to Wen Huaiming's career path, the acquisition of Xinxing Factory alone requires Ji Zheng's strong cooperation in the future. Unexpectedly, the link that should have been the least worrying actually failed at the critical moment. It is true that even a wise man can make mistakes!
"Ji Zheng from Qinghua Plant must have gotten into some trouble! Hua Zhitiao is about to complete the acquisition of Xinxing Plant. If something goes wrong at Qinghua Plant, we might miss the opportunity to manage the entire Huaihe River basin this year..."
Ning Xi looked at his face and knew that he was in a bad mood, or rather, she had rarely seen Wen Liang angry after knowing him for so long. She said softly, "Is it difficult? Tell me if you have anything to ask. You don't have to be polite to me now, right?"
Even though Wen Liang was in a bad mood, he could not help but force a smile because of the kindness of the beauty. He said, "It's not that difficult. Don't worry, I can handle it. If I really can't solve it, I'll ask you for help! It's getting late. You go back to Jingu Garden first. Drive the car outside and tell Lei Fang and Zhu Zixuan that I won't come over during the day. I'll go to the airport to see you off when you leave in the evening!"
Ning Xi nodded, pulled his hand, and said, "Don't worry, some things can be delayed. In fact, I have always been worried that you are developing too fast, which may not be a good thing."
Wen Liang stood up, his expression slowly regained its composure, and he sighed softly, "Time is running out. There are so many things I want to do, but so little time. If I don't lay a solid foundation in these two years, I will probably be delayed step by step, and many of my dreams may only become dreams..."
He turned his head to look at Ning Xi, and seeing that she looked a little worried, he smiled and said, "It's okay, I just have intermittent irritability syndrome, it will be fine after a while! You still have to focus your energy on Shangning Hi-Tech. The trader that Lei Fang found may not be reliable, so keep an eye on him after you return to Beijing."
"I understand. But with me here, Lei Fang won't dare to play any tricks. But are you sure you don't want me to transfer some people from the army? It's no big deal. It just so happens that the army is in winter training. More than half of the barracks are empty. I can just randomly transfer 40 or 50 people. No one can find out. It's okay."
Because all traders have to be dispersed across the country, once the plan is implemented, each trader's communication tools will be confiscated. At the same time, another person will be required to monitor them closely and be responsible for external liaison. These two people will be inseparable during the entire implementation of the plan, and even eat, sleep, and go to the toilet together. So Lei Fang is asked to return to Beijing to find the traders, while Wen Liang is looking for monitoring personnel in Jiangdong Province. The goal is that they do not know each other and are not subordinate to each other, so as to facilitate control and management.
Ning Xi had suggested transferring some people from the Guanshan Military Sub-district or the Armed Police Force. They were trustworthy, disciplined, and able to execute orders resolutely and in place. They were indeed the best candidates. However, Wen Liang considered it and rejected it. After all, it was a personal business behavior. Although this was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning given the Ning family's influence in the military, Wen Liang did not want to give others a handle. He did not expect that she would bring up the old matter again today.
"No need. Let's keep a low profile and be cautious. Besides, I already have an idea of these candidates. I can get them in a few days."
The two discussed some details, and Ning Xi drove away in the BMW. The accident scene over there had been cordoned off. The police were questioning the people around and taking statements. Medical staff were busy rescuing the wounded. Everything was proceeding in a chaotic yet orderly manner. Wen Liang stood far away, with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
A few minutes later, the cell phone rang.
"Master Wen, I..."
Ji Zhenglue's panicked voice came from the microphone. Wen Liang interrupted him directly and said coldly: "I don't have time to listen to your explanation. Go to the Public Security Bureau now and report. I will arrange for someone to pick you up! Remember, tell me whatever problems you have, don't hide anything!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for his reply. Wen Liang called Liu Tianlai again, said a few words to him, and then turned around and left.
At the gate of the municipal party committee compound, Wen Huaiming came out and saw Wen Liang standing in front of a newsstand not far away. He walked over and asked in confusion, "Why don't you go in and talk?"
Wen Liang bought a copy of today's China Youth Daily, took Wen Huaiming to a deserted tree, and said, "Ji Zheng is in trouble!"
Wen Huaiming frowned and asked, "Is it serious?"
"Liu Tianlai is investigating the details. I estimate that he will report to the municipal party committee in a while. But I was nearby when the accident happened. There were explosives at the scene, a Jetta was destroyed, one person died, and one was seriously injured. Ji Zheng is lucky, so he should be fine except for a little shock!"
Wen Huaiming was shocked. He didn't expect it to be this serious. He asked, "Revenge? Is it a private matter or a public one?"
Qingzhou's reform will take Qinghua Plant as a model and breakthrough point. This is the consensus of the whole Qingzhou. To reform, one must offend people. Ji Zheng is at the forefront, and offending people is certain. But the question is, is it the extreme behavior of an individual, or a premeditated counterattack
Wen Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a public matter. The Qinghua Factory is now useless in the eyes of some people. In addition, the province and the city attach so much importance to it, no one is willing to commit a crime against the wind. Even if they want to put some resistance, they won't take such drastic measures... I think it's more likely to be a personal conflict!"
Wen Huaiming's usually stern face suddenly darkened, and after a long while he said in a heavy tone: "Useless!"
"Whether he is a good person or not, we have to find a way to solve the problem. Dad, do you think you can save him..."
"Impossible!" Wen Huaiming said flatly. After he finished speaking, he looked at Wen Liang and said in a slower tone, "This matter has caused too much noise and cannot be concealed. Regardless of who is right or wrong, for the sake of the overall situation, Ji Zheng is not suitable to stay in the position of director of Qinghua Factory any longer."
Although Wen Liang knew that this was an inevitable result, he still sighed and said, "We still don't know what happened. How about this, give me a day to work it out, okay? You also know that with Xu Fuyan's temper, he will definitely dismiss Ji Zheng on the spot when he hears the news. By then, it will be too late."
Wen Huaiming hesitated for a moment, but in the end he could not refuse his son's request, and said, "Okay, I will keep the Municipal Party Committee's affairs until the afternoon at most, and I must report to Secretary Xu before leaving get off work!"
As soon as he separated from Wen Huaiming, Liu Tianlai called: "Mr. Wen, Ji Zheng is here. I asked Geng Chao to accompany him first to let him take a breath. I will go and question him in person later."
"Have you figured out the basic situation?"
"We found out that the injured young man was called Qin Yong. He served in the army for two years. After he was discharged from the army, he was assigned to a small factory that was about to go bankrupt. He never went to work. Later, I don't know what relationship he had with him and he got into the security department of Qinghua Factory. Not long after, he became Ji Zheng's driver..."
Wen Liang was stunned. Isn't this the grandson of old man Qin? What's the relationship? Of course it's because of his relationship!
"Master Wen, guess who the other dead person is?"
Wen Liang was in no mood to play guessing games with him, so he said, "Just tell me now, why are you keeping me in suspense?"
Liu Tianlai lowered his voice and said, "It's He Xiaobo!"
Wen Liang suddenly understood. The last time he went to the Qinghua Factory to see Ji Zheng, he mentioned the matter of Qin Lao's grandson. It was also at that time that he found that He Xiaobo was still in his original job. At that time, he wondered how Ji Zheng could tolerate this villain who betrayed his friends and insulted his wife. But later, he was too busy and forgot about it. (See Volume 4, Chapter 14, Hurrying)
Today it seems that something happened after all!
Ji Zheng, Ji Zheng, what on earth have you done to make someone willing to die with you
Wen Liang warned, "We must strictly control the news. Not a single rumor can leak out from the Public Security Bureau! After you get Ji Zheng's confession, let him leave immediately. Don't stay in the bureau any longer. Do you understand?"
Liu Tianlai responded and hung up the phone.
Ji Su's home is in Tonghai District. Wen Liang has been there several times and is familiar with the place. He knocked on the door, but the person who opened the door was Ji Su in casual clothes. Wen Liang was startled and asked, "Why are you at home? Don't you have class today?"
Ji Su didn't expect Wen Liang to come. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He asked almost at the same time, "Why are you here? Didn't you skip class today?"
There was nothing wrong with their words when heard separately, but when put together, they immediately produced a different kind of humor. Wen Liang smiled and said, "It is precisely because I skipped classes that I have time to come here."
Ji Su's eyes were filled with joy, and he said, "I thought you had other things to do... Oh, my mother caught a cold, so I took a day off today to stay at home with her!"
"Are you here to look for me? Oh," Ji Su lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm so stupid. You didn't know I was at home. Are you looking for my dad? But he went to work and won't be back until the evening."
Seeing Ji Su happy and joyful at this moment, Wen Liang couldn't bear to imagine what would happen when she knew what happened in the morning, and said, "Aren't you going to invite me in? Standing at the door is not the right way to entertain guests!"
"What's wrong with me today? My brain is about to break down," Ji Su patted his delicate forehead, stepped aside, and said, "Please come in, welcome!"
Wen Liang walked into the living room and whispered, "I'm actually here to look for your mother. Is she asleep?"
Ji Su was a little confused, but he didn't think too much about it. He led Wen Liang to the bedroom and said, "She just took some medicine, so she shouldn't be asleep yet. What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Wen Liang forced a smile and said, "Nothing, I haven't seen you for a long time, so it's only natural for me to come and see Aunt Su."
Ji Su had her back to Wen Liang, but her face was a little hot. Wen Liang's words made her think a lot. What kind of relationship would make him come to see his mother
Her heart suddenly beat faster!
