Chapter 181 Undercurrent
Wang Yan is very likable.
Especially Chen Yitang.
Elegant women all like quirky and clever young girls.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiu Zhanyu saw us to the door.
Goodbye, sister.
Goodbye, come visit again sometime.
On the way back.
I was quite surprised to see Wang Yan like this. She seems lively, but she's really good at getting down to business.
The etiquette was impeccable.
It covers a wide range of knowledge.
She has a sweet tongue and is very sensible.
Even in conversation, they know when to advance and when to retreat.
Who says that the children of big families are all good-for-nothings?
Currently, Chen Hangtian, Wang Yan, Qiu Zhanyu and his wife, and Zhou Minyi all appear to be performing significantly better than the average person.
He rose through the ranks due to his privileged background and worked hard.
How can we catch up?
"Yan Yan, you look especially beautiful today!"
"Is that so?"
"Are you full?"
"No."
"Haha, let's go, I don't have any either, I'll treat you to some barbecue skewers."
"OK."
I know how much my little girl eats when we eat together, since she's still growing. She was a bit reserved today, so it's certain she didn't eat enough.
Night market stalls.
I called Xu Jingyan on the way, and sure enough, she was still working overtime so late. This ice cube is a workaholic, especially when it comes to financial planning. She's basically obsessive-compulsive and has to be very organized.
"I sent you my location; I'll treat you to some barbecue skewers."
"Didn't you have dinner with Yan Yan?"
"I'm still hungry, so I'll ask you for some more food. After we finish eating, you can take Yan Yan home."
"OK."
Xu Jingyan has a special role; she comes from the RY Group. I don't believe she's just a finance manager. Every time we go out to eat, Yan Yan and Xu Jingyan are almost always together.
Although Wang Wei trusts me
But it also keeps me at bay.
After all, no matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family. Even if you handle your assets properly, what if your daughter gets kidnapped? Then all your efforts will have been in vain!
Another month has passed.
News came from Liancheng that a new municipal party secretary had been parachuted in, transferred from Shanghai.
Shanghai?
Later I learned that the country was going to vigorously develop the inland economy and carry out the "East-to-West Production Transfer Plan"!
When the reform and opening up began, coastal cities were designated as special economic zones, allowing some people to get rich first, and then those who got rich first would help those who got rich later.
Now, it's time to make it happen.
This allows industries from economically developed regions to set up factories in less developed areas, increasing local employment, attracting population return, and generating tax revenue, thus enabling people to earn and spend money locally.
A stroke of genius!
Just then, my phone received a WeChat message, and my expression turned strange.
fate?
luck.
Is the world really that small?
Sun Ce's WeChat message: "Yang Xiaotong, the Party Secretary of Pudong District in Shanghai, has been transferred to serve as the Party Secretary of Liancheng City."
For a moment I had a doubt that this Party Secretary wasn't the old man's daughter, nor was she Sister Tong.
But, they're both in Shanghai...
Furthermore, when Wang Wei saw Yang Xiaotong at RY while he was working there, his attitude at the time was...
It's pretty much a done deal.
I'm torn.
Should we contact them?
Do you want to contact me?
It was just a matter of gratitude for being saved; I was the one who was saved by the old man.
Sun Ce called.
"President Shen, Secretary Hao would like to meet with you."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
The work in the provincial capital ZG is proceeding normally. If there are no surprises, the company will acquire the listed company and go public through a backdoor listing after National Day this year.
I have no control over the Series C funding rounds; at least three companies are involved: Zhou, Chen, and Qiu.
Lotus City.
I had been communicating with Hao Nian'an, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Liancheng City, for half a year before we finally met in person.
The Discipline Inspection Commission office building.
Sun Ce was waiting for me at the door.
"President Shen, how does this first visit to the Municipal Party Committee go?"
"To be honest, maybe because I'm not part of the system, I don't have the same feelings as when I went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
Sun Ce was speechless.
But what I said wasn't entirely unreasonable!
"A new municipal party secretary has arrived in Liancheng, and Secretary Hao attaches great importance to it. The authority to resume the 14 key municipal projects that were originally suspended is no longer in Secretary Hao's hands, and NP may be among them."
I paused, a little confused: "What happened? Before the work stoppage, it was all agreed that a three-month suspension would be enough, and NP had nothing to do with Zeng Hong!"
Sun Ce: "This is also why Secretary Hao called you back. He didn't expect Liancheng to parachute in the top leader so quickly. Originally, he planned for a gap of at least six months to a year, but now everything has gone wrong!"
office.
"Secretary Hao."
"Hello, Mr. Shen."
Sun Ce consciously left and closed the door behind him.
"I've heard Xiao Xuan mention you many times. Among young people, there aren't many who can earn his constant praise."
"Hehe, I'm just a gofer."
Hao Nian'an smiled enigmatically: "A mere errand boy controls hundreds of millions of yuan, manipulating the Zhou and Chen families to their tune."
"You wouldn't dare say that, I'm a victim too."
Hao Nian'an said lazily, "Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I called you here for two things."
"Please speak."
"First, there will be an entrepreneurs' meeting hosted by the Liancheng Municipal Government and cooperating with the CPPCC the day after tomorrow. Secretary Yang will attend as an observer. You should also go. I will introduce you to each other then."
I remained expressionless, but my heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Hao Nian'an looked at me: "You're quite calm. As for the second point, as Deputy Director Sun mentioned to you, the authority to resume key municipal projects is no longer with me, so your attendance the day after tomorrow is especially important."
I was just about to open my mouth.
Hao Nian'an continued, "However, I have a condition: if other key municipal projects resume construction at the same time as NP, you must intervene and take over!"
"What do you mean?"
"On the surface. The Chen and Zhou families have shifted their focus to the provincial capital, so there's no need for them to get involved in business in Liancheng anymore."
Is this something I can hear?
Is this something I can get involved in?
I stood up to leave: "Do you know what I went through in the provincial capital? I just survived being besieged, and you want me to come back to die?"
"I am following your lead."
I stopped and turned to look at Hao Nian'an: "Are you serious?"
Do I look like I'm joking?
My instinctive thought was, why, and by what right, it was me.
Hao Nian'an: "You haven't reached my level yet. In our view, nothing is more important than the economy and development of Liancheng. It's unacceptable to take money from Liancheng and invest it elsewhere."
us?
who is it?
Which company? Which faction?
I had more doubts in my mind. Would doing this be detrimental to Sister Tong, the newly arrived municipal party secretary? However, I couldn't clarify our relationship, because I couldn't be sure if Sister Tong was denying me in this situation.
"This is really far-fetched for me, and I don't have the funds or the ability to take on such a big project."
"Your funds and strength have been accumulated little by little. You are not backed by Zhou, Zheng, Li, or Yang, but by the government. Go back now, you have two days to think it over."
Zhou family.
Li Weicheng, Zhou Ren, Feng Hong, and a few other people from within the system were discussing the matter together.
"We haven't had any channels or connections to contact the newly appointed municipal party secretary yet, which will have a significant impact on my two and a half years of waiting to become a member of the Standing Committee. It can be said that the opinions of this new municipal party secretary will play a decisive role."
Li Weicheng said with a solemn expression.
"Any news from the second son?"
"He's working on connections and making some progress, but he can't appear too hasty."
Feng Hong was very frustrated. He had already been labeled by the Discipline Inspection Commission. Although he had smoothed things over, he had paid a considerable price. He was currently in his current position without any problems, but he had indeed put the Zhou family in a somewhat passive state.
Zhou Ren glanced at Feng Hong: "Don't be discouraged. As long as the second-in-command stays in power long enough, our advantage will eventually return. The problem we need to solve now is how to get the municipal party secretary to agree to resume those key municipal projects."
"It's not advisable to act rashly; let's wait for the second brother's reply."
The Chen family.
Wu Lei, Wu Changsha, Su Hang, and some officials within the relevant system.
Wu Lei: "The appointment of a new municipal party secretary is an opportunity; Liancheng may be about to undergo a reshuffle."
Wu Changsha: "Then let the spacecraft return?"
Wu Lei glanced at him casually: "A new emperor brings a new court. The Zhou family, the Chen family, the Zheng family, and the Yang family in Liancheng are all remnants of the previous dynasty. Only the new aristocratic families are worthy of attention."
Wu Changsha's eyes lit up: "The Wu family is an option too?"
Su Hang sat below, eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought.
He can no longer come back to me. Chen Yuanyuan is keeping him under control, and Xiaoyun has become a frequent visitor to Wu Lei's house.
Wu Lei glanced at everyone present: "The Chen family is a thing of the past. They have already withdrawn from Liancheng. I'm giving you all a heads-up now. Those who want to leave can do so now."
About a minute later, no one got up.
"That's good. With the change of leadership in Liancheng, a batch will inevitably be killed, a batch promoted, and a batch replaced. It's a good time for a blood transfusion, and also a good time for everyone to make some moves. It's time to prepare."
The Zheng family and the Yang family were also holding similar meetings.
The new Party Secretary took office and made three bold moves.
Anti-corruption?
Environmental friendly?
Economic development?
Everyone is at risk.
