Of course, the goddess of luck was just a joke. Wen Liang was actually a little scared. He thought that Gu Shitong would be at peace for a while after suffering such a big loss last time, but he really underestimated his vengeful character. He would run to the toilet as soon as he lost his job without wasting even a second.
But now that he was on guard, he had lost his ability to surprise the enemy and hide. If Gu Shitong wanted to imitate the poisonous snake and make a fatal attack unexpectedly, he would be stepped on by Wen Liang instead, and he would be unable to move forward or backward!
After seeing Li Shengli off, Wen Liang stood there and thought for a while, then took out his cell phone and called Zuo Yuxi. Fortunately, the call went through immediately this time. Hearing the sweet voice coming from the other end of the receiver, he snorted, "My husband is checking up on me!"
I could vaguely hear Zuo Yuxi chuckle, but there was a lot of noise around her, and it was obvious that there were outsiders present, so it was not convenient to talk. She said, "Well, I know. I'm still in Yunshui. Let's talk about it when we get back..."
Yesterday, I heard Ye Yuting say that she went to the countryside. It turned out that she went to Yunshui. Wen Liang's grandmother's home is in Yunshui, which is one of his hometowns. I wanted to make a joke, but in just a short while, Zuo Yuxi had covered the microphone twice. She was really busy. She walked to a quiet place and apologized: "I will go back in the afternoon and call you then. There is a little trouble here that needs to be solved..."
"Okay, Yuxi, I missed you!"
Zuo Yuxi was stunned for a moment. Even though they knew each other well, Wen Liang rarely showed his emotions. His heart beat violently and he whispered, "I miss you, too. I miss you very much..."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang's mind could still emerge the expression on her face when she said "I miss you" with a red face behind her subordinates. Is there anything that could make him feel more accomplished than making Zuo Yuxi, the most cold and beautiful woman in Qingzhou officialdom, act like a little girl
But it was a bit troublesome that Yuxi was not at home. Wen Liang touched his chin. It was not impossible to go to the Municipal Party Committee to find his father, but it would cause a lot of noise. After thinking about it, he finally called Liu Tianlai. The two agreed to meet at a place. Wen Liang arrived first. After waiting for a few minutes, Liu Tianlai walked in hurriedly.
"Mr. Wen, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Wen Liang poured him a glass of water and said, "Drink some water first to calm down. Why are you sweating so much? Where did you come from?"
I didn't ask in detail on the phone just now, so I'd better not delay the important work. Liu Tianlai picked up the water and drank it all. The water drops flowed down his mouth and all over his clothes. He smiled and said, "I just led the team to go out on a police call, and it turned out to be a false alarm. My body is really not as good as before. I feel tired after running a few steps."
Wen Liang was surprised and asked, "What case requires you, the chief, to lead the team personally?"
Liu Tianlai lowered his voice and said, "The Provincial Public Security Department issued a document a few days ago, launching a province-wide investigation, focusing on people with criminal records, overseas connections, and unidentified outsiders. Yesterday, there was a clue that there were several suspicious people doing something in a rental house in Beihuan. They rested during the day and went out at night. There was also one person who spoke with a clear accent from the other side of the Taiwan Strait. How could I dare to neglect it... But I just found out that they were a few drug addicts after arresting them, especially the guy with the accent from the other side of the Taiwan Strait. He was so skinny that he couldn't squeeze out a single ounce of oil. It's impossible that he was that... Well, Master Wen, you understand..."
Wen Liang nodded. The second Taiwan Strait crisis broke out in March. It was only a few days away. The situation was tense during this period. Everyone was almost nervous. It was reasonable to carry out a secret investigation. However, this was a great thing for him. Without this Taiwan Strait crisis, there would not be the huge waves set off by "China Can Say No" in the previous life. As the saying goes, good winds can help me soar to the sky. Wen Liang was able to go from nothing to this point. In the final analysis, it was still relying on the general trend!
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Do you have any acquaintances at the Water Conservancy Bureau?"
"Director Lao Feng and I have had a drink together and we have a say. Young Master Wen, just give me instructions. Besides, even if we don't know anyone in Qingzhou now, isn't it easy for us to find someone we know?"
Wen Liang pointed at him and said with a smile: "You, you really better keep your mouth shut. If Xu Fuyan hears what you said and takes off your hat, don't come to me to cry and complain!"
Liu Tianlai chuckled and said, "Secretary Xu is the sky, but if Young Master Wen hadn't led us to hold it up, the sky would have collapsed."
"Stop, stop!" Wen Liang stopped laughing and said, "Don't drag me into this. My feelings for Xu Fuyan are as clear as the sun and the moon. You can't compare to me..."
In the whole Qingzhou, the three words Xu Fuyan have only been heard from you. You have never even called me Secretary Xu. Your heart is really blinding even the sun and the moon. However, Liu Tianlai knows the relationship between Xu Yao and Wen Liang, and he can't compare with them. He deliberately complained: "Mr. Wen, I have been the thickest-skinned person in Qingzhou for a long time. Please don't compete with me, okay?"
Wen Liang laughed loudly and turned the topic around again, saying, "Don't look for Director Feng. Find a deputy and call him to ask if the Linzhuang Reservoir is under contract."
"Linzhuang Reservoir? Why did you contract that, Mr. Wen?"
It is no wonder that Liu Tianlai was surprised. The Linzhuang Reservoir was a water conservancy project in the 1960s. With the completion of the Qinghui and Qingli reservoirs, it had long completed its historical mission and was gradually forgotten by the people of Qingzhou.
Wen Liang shook his head and said, "I don't want to take charge of this. You can find out the situation first, and then we can talk about other things."
Liu Tianlai called the Public Security Bureau office directly and asked them to check the phone number of Deng Xing, deputy director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and then dialed the number directly: "Old Deng, this is Liu Tianlai, yes, yes, I want to ask you something, I heard that Linzhuang Reservoir is going to be contracted out... Yeah, yeah, I see, okay, let's have a drink together when we have time, okay!"
Social relationships are so helpless. The time spent on business only takes up one tenth of the total time. Liu Tianlai said, "I have asked and found out that the Water Conservancy Bureau does have this plan, but it has only been announced for a few days and no one has bid yet. In fact, I think people are not stupid now. The water in your Linzhuang Reservoir is almost dry. You can't raise fish or shrimp. The location is remote. What's the point of anyone contracting it?"
It is really useless to just contract a reservoir. Forget making money. It would be good enough if you can just keep it as a pair of pants. But what if what you value is not the reservoir itself
Therefore, Wen Liang had to admire Gu Shitong's exquisiteness. In his previous life, Minghua Group used the reconstruction of the old city, relocation and Linzhuang Reservoir, three seemingly unrelated things, to launch a combination of punches. This set of punches not only knocked Fan Hengan unconscious, but also made all the people who laughed at him slap themselves in the face. (For details, please refer to Chapter 145 of Volume 3, Walking on the Waves)
Minghua should have reached the point where he wants to take the land around Linzhuang Reservoir. In fact, according to the timeline of the previous life, Minghua should have secretly taken over the reservoir and started the process of converting the agricultural land around the reservoir into construction land. But the problem is that not long ago, because Gu Shitong wanted to use Qinghe Soy Milk to attack Wen Huaiming, Xu Fuyan was furious and suspended the approval procedures for these hundreds of acres of land. It was not until Qi Shu was imprisoned that Gu Shitong increased his investment and made connections, and then restarted it in the past few days. Time was thus wasted, and there was no time to discuss the lease of the reservoir. (See Chapter 97 of Volume 4 for details)
It is true that he who does evil will suffer. If Gu Shitong had not come to trouble Wen Huaiming, Wen Liang would not have had the opportunity to trip him up. He smiled and said, "Director Liu, I'll give you a task. Find a friend who runs a company and ask him to go to the Water Conservancy Bureau tomorrow and rent the Linzhuang Reservoir. Don't worry, tell him that the cost is not a problem. In addition, you should say hello to Director Deng of the Water Conservancy Bureau and make sure this is done. If necessary, you can contact Director Feng directly... I'm afraid that others may have someone in the bureau, so you must be quick, understand?"
Wen Liang estimated that Minghua should have an insider in the Water Conservancy Bureau, and it was even possible that the leasing of the reservoir was implemented under Minghua's promotion. After all, in 1996, government departments did not have such an open business mindset, so this matter must be settled as soon as possible. Perhaps if it is delayed for a while, the 30-year contract rights of the reservoir will fall into Minghua's hands.
Wen Liang was very happy if he could make Gu Shitong unhappy, so even though this matter would harm others and not benefit himself, he had to do it in a big way and do it perfectly, so that Gu Shitong would suffer a loss and not be able to find the creditor!
In fact, when it comes to revenge, Wen Liang is even worse than Gu Shitong. Gu Shitong had just secretly established Kuai Youduo to compete with Qinghe, and Wen Liang dared to secretly snatch the contracting rights of the reservoir, causing Minghua's investment of hundreds of millions to go down the drain.
No one would believe that a sixteen-year-old boy is so cruel!
Liu Tianlai heard the seriousness in Wen Liang's words, and his attitude became serious. He didn't dare to delay for a moment and left the room to find someone to handle the matter. Wen Liang sat alone for a while, and found that he had nowhere to go. There was Ji Zheng in Guanshan, Li Si in Qinghe, Ning Xi in Zuozhuang, and Liu Tianlai in the reservoir. He became an idle person. But he suddenly remembered that when Si Yajing talked about Tutu last night, her eyes were slightly flashing with tears. He clapped his hands, turned around, went to Si Yajing's house to pick up Tutu, and then took her to the western suburbs.
Si Yajing almost shed tears when she saw Tutu. She had been guarding the construction site for the past few days. It would be a lie to say that she didn't miss her daughter, but in her heart she always put Wen Liang's trust first, and was afraid that something would go wrong at work and she would let down this trust. Therefore, hard work can make up for one's shortcomings, and her desperate spirit made Qu Rong admire her.
It was Tutu's first time to come to such a wasteland in the western suburbs. He looked at Wen Liang and Si Yajing, and decisively threw himself into Wen Liang's arms, saying, "Dad, go over there, go over there..."
Her chubby little hand pointed at the abandoned orchard in the distance. It was the hottest time of the day, and countless rays of light were projected on the withered and scattered branches, adding a bit of dazzling golden color to the vast wilderness.
"Okay, go play over there, don't need mom anymore."
Wen Liang squatted down, Tutu cheered, nimbly climbed onto his neck, and shouted, "Go!"
Si Yajing was dressed in black, looking into the distance at two figures, one big and one small, in the sunlight. There was a smile on her lips, but her vision gradually became blurred.
