Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 281 In the Name of People 13

Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin never expected that this district chief who had been suppressed by Ding Yizhen in the past would be so ungrateful. To put it bluntly, this dinner was to use the background of Hou Liangping and Chen Hai to drag him into trouble. But this man didn't even accept the superficial compliments. He was obviously very happy when Gao Xiaoqin said that just now. Who knew that he would be so stubborn.

"Director Sun, to be honest, I asked you to come here today just to find out when our company will enter the site. I hope you can give me some advice if there's anything we're not doing well. Seeing that other companies' construction sites are going at a brisk pace, I'm worried!" Gao Xiaoqin's true intentions were finally revealed.

"Mr. Gao, I'm an old man and will retire in four or five years. It's not appropriate for you to call yourself that in front of me! Let's talk about the Dafeng Factory. It's not that I don't agree. It's Secretary Li who disagrees. He insisted on resolving the resettlement of the Dafeng Factory employees and the equity transaction issues first." Yu Xian's words were full of sadness and helplessness.

When Ding Yizhen was around, Li Dakang had to endure Ding Yizhen's anger. Now that Ding Yizhen has run away, Li Dakang has personally taken action. Didn't Ding Yizhen's trip go in vain?

"That's right! I am the chief commander of the Guangming Peak project now. Secretary Li blames me for failing to complete the task!" Yu Xian said as he picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all.

"District Chief Sun, I don't think so. I think Secretary Li wants to demolish it as soon as possible, but he said something in front of everyone that day and it's hard to go back on his word. If District Chief Sun can help him accomplish this, it is possible to go further. After Ding Yizhen fled, his position has been vacant." Although Qi Tongwei despised this man's cowardly appearance, the demolition project still depended on him and he could only continue to flatter him.

"Really? Director Chen? Director Hou? What do you think?" Yu Xian felt that it was too tiring to perform alone, so he pulled the two spectators over to join him.

"This... We have no friendship with Secretary Li, so we don't know." Chen Hai shook his head.

"Just tear it down! Maybe Secretary Li will really recommend you to the provincial party committee!" Hou Liangping's words seemed to come out of his nose.

"District Chief Sun, in addition to Secretary Li, there is also Secretary Gao. Everyone in Handong knows that he is my teacher, and I will definitely persuade my teacher to speak for you." Qi Tongwei saw that this man was somewhat moved and wanted to add fuel to the fire.

"Thank you Director Qi for your kindness. I, Sun, have come this far by relying on the word prudent. I dare not gamble on things like people's hearts." Yu Xian's eyes suddenly darkened.

"Director Sun, do you have any concerns?" Gao Xiaoqin was a little anxious.

"I have no concerns, I just think I still have to listen to Secretary Li." Yu Xian shook his head.

Having said that, there was no point in continuing the conversation, so Gao Xiaoqin had to change the subject. The atmosphere became lively again until after ten o'clock, when Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin arranged a designated driver for the drinking Chen Hai and Hou Liangping and sent the three of them out of the manor.

"District Chief Sun, would you like to come together? You can't get a taxi here. Taxis won't come." Chen Hai stopped his private car in front of Yu Xian, rolled down the window and greeted him.

"Thank you, Director Chen. Just take me to a place where I can get a taxi." Yu Xian didn't want to walk, so he opened the car door and got in.

Chen Hai had many questions to ask, such as how the family members were doing now, whether he had received any threatening messages later, whether Gao Xiaoqin had invited him here today for the same reason as everyone thought, etc. But the designated driver in the car was from Gao Xiaoqin's Shanshui Manor, so he could only wait for an opportunity to talk about it.

At Shanshui Manor, Qi Tongwei smashed several cups before he felt a little relieved. He and Gao Xiaoqin leaned on the sofa in the room. At this moment, he thought about how he had been playing tricks on him since he got involved with the Liang family and rose to prominence.

What kind of person is this Sun Liancheng! He is just a loser who was bullied by Ding Yizhen, but today he dares to use Li Dakang's name to get rid of me.

"Tongwei, are we really going to withdraw from the Guangming Peak project? I won't accept this!" Gao Xiaoqin leaned in Qi Tongwei's arms, her voice soft and gentle but her expression was full of cruelty as if she wanted to tear everything in front of her to pieces.

"Don't worry, this ungrateful guy won't block our way. Li Dakang won't tolerate him for too long!" Qi Tongwei comforted.

"But he just said that it was Li Dakang's idea not to enter the venue." Gao Xiaoqin didn't understand.

"If Li Dakang wants to achieve results in the near future, he must speed up the progress of the Guangming Peak project. However, Sun Liancheng and Li Dakang are not the same kind of people. In fact, he has no intention of taking sides. Naturally, he will not obey Li Dakang's will. Sooner or later, he will be expelled from the decision-making level of the Guangming Peak project by Li Dakang." Qi Tongwei firmly believes in his judgment.

"But sooner or later, how sooner or later?" Gao Xiaoqin was not confident about this outcome.

"Don't worry, it will be fine soon. We have come through so many ups and downs. This Sun Liancheng is just a small character. Don't take him to heart." Qi Tongwei said softly.

"Yeah!" Gao Xiaoqin responded softly.

……

One night later, Yu Xian had just come out of the district government cafeteria after breakfast when he saw Lin Huahua and Zhou Zheng standing in front of him, showing their credentials and summoning him to the provincial procuratorate. Yu Xian asked Xiao Wang to change the schedule and notify all units, and then followed them to the parking lot to get a car.

When we arrived at the place, we saw that Chen Hai's eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he had been working overtime.

"Director Sun, I'm sorry. We have to ask you to come here in this way to conceal our tracks." Chen Hai also knew that it would have a bad impact if two prosecutors blocked the door with their credentials and called people over.

"Director Chen, do you want to take a break and wash up first?" Yu Xian felt itchy in the face when he looked at his messy hair.

"I'll go wash my face first to wake myself up. Or, pour a glass of water for District Chief Sun." Seeing himself in this state, Chen Hai had no choice but to clean up first.

Watching Chen Hai leave in a hurry, Lu Yike placed a cup of warm water in front of Yu Xian.

"District Chief Sun, our Director Chen wants to know about the banquet you attended at Shanshui Manor last night." Lu Yike, who was sitting opposite, signaled to his deputy that he could start recording.

"Director Chen was present throughout this matter, he knows everything!" Yu Xian replied after taking a sip of water.

"Why did Gao Xiaoqin, the boss of Shanshui Group, invite you?" Lu Yike could only change the question.

"Why else? She wanted to demolish the Dafeng Factory as soon as possible. But when Secretary Li was inspecting, I suspected that there was a problem with the equity transaction of Dafeng Factory, so I brought it up on the spot. She wanted to find an opportunity to clear up this misunderstanding, including saying so when she called me to invite me for dinner." Yu Xian opened his phone with a recording app and handed it over.

"Do you think this is a misunderstanding?" Lu Yike asked.

"Director Lu, I don't think this is a misunderstanding, but a trap." Yu Xian shook his head.

"I'd like to hear the details!" Lu Yike raised his eyebrows.

"The Guangming Peak project was planned from project approval to the final announcement of the development and investment plan to the public in the third year of Secretary Li's tenure, when Ding Yizhen was the deputy mayor of Jingzhou City and secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee. It took more than three years from the formal feasibility study bidding to the official implementation of the project." Yu Xian recounted the past and present of the Guangming Peak project.

"During this period, Ding Yizhen would have used his full control over the development plan to trade information with businessmen or even personally participate in the investment of this project by acquiring shares. Shanshui Group is just a special one among Ding Yizhen's partners. When obtaining the government development plan from Ding Yizhen, Shanshui Group would have certainly set its sights on this area and looked for a suitable target."

"Cai Chenggong's Dafeng Factory has been declining due to its outdated business philosophy. At the same time, his other businesses have also run into problems. He is insolvent. In this case, if we cut off one link of Cai Chenggong's capital operation, and then Shanshui Group will come forward, it will be easy to acquire Dafeng Factory."

"Do you have any evidence for what you said?" Lu Yike asked.

"Unfortunately, I have no evidence. If I were a businessman, under the current circumstances in Handong, this would be the minimum price I could pay to acquire the land in Guangming District." Yu Xian shook his head.

"Then why did I invite you to dinner last night?" Lu Yike asked.

"In order to demolish the Dafeng Factory as soon as possible and create a fait accompli. For this purpose, I specially introduced Director Chen from the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Procuratorate and Director Hou from Beijing to me to prove my innocence." Yu Xian said without blinking.

"Oh, to prove your innocence? Whose innocence?" Lu Yike said with a smile.

"Shanshui Group's innocence. They are implying to me that with such close ties with people in the national prosecutorial system, how could they do such a thing of plundering and robbery?" Yu Xian said helplessly.
