Official excuse: I was sent to work at the grassroots level for training, and Hou Liangping arrested

Gao Mingyuan's desire to buy the food court was an unexpected bonus.

He was initially worried that the food court wouldn't be able to find buyers in a short time.

After all, while Luzhou Food City is profitable, it's also a hot potato.

Many people know that this is Zhao Ruilong's business.

Now that Gao Mingyuan is willing to take over, it couldn't be better.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ruilong stood up and began packing his things.

He planned to travel to Green Vine City that afternoon to meet with Gao Mingyuan.

. . . . . .

In the afternoon, Zhao Ruilong arrived in Lvteng City, Handong Province, by jeep. This was the headquarters of Changteng Capital.

He went directly to Gao Mingyuan's company and was led into the meeting room by the secretary.

A short while later, Gao Mingyuan walked in.

He was dressed in a sharp suit and tie, looking every bit the successful person.

Zhao Ruilong stood up, smiled, and extended his hand: "President Gao, I've long admired your name."

Gao Mingyuan smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with Zhao Ruilong: "Chairman Zhao, you're too kind. Please have a seat."

After the two sat down, Gao Mingyuan got straight to the point: "Chairman Zhao, I heard you want to sell Luzhou Food City?"

Zhao Ruilong nodded: "That's right, I'm planning to expand into other industries. So, I intend to sell the food court."

Gao Mingyuan was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had originally thought that Zhao Ruilong would ask for an exorbitant amount.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruilong agreed so readily.

He pondered for a moment and then said, "Chairman Zhao, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

Zhao Ruilong held up one finger: "At least one hundred million."

After considering it in his mind, Gao Mingyuan felt that the price was reasonable.

So he nodded: "Okay, one hundred million it is. I'll buy it."

Both parties were very satisfied and signed the share transfer agreement.

Changteng Capital invested 100 million yuan to acquire 100% of the shares of Luzhou Food City under Huilong Group.

Zhao Donglai has been extremely busy these days.

The reason is simple: Liu Xinjian's family members come to the Municipal Bureau every day to cause trouble, and even put up banners.

Zhao Donglai felt extremely aggrieved. The disappearance of a state-owned enterprise executive could have been handed over to the branch office for investigation.

He even specifically looked into Liu Xinjian's disappearance case. Although a case had already been filed.

However, his predecessor, Lin Yunfei, deliberately delayed for 48 hours, neither sending anyone to look for him nor filing a case.

Of course, according to Political Commissar Luo, Lin Yunfei said that it should be done according to procedure.

This approach doesn't seem wrong.

When a family reports a missing person, a case can only be filed after 48 hours.

Based on his years of experience in criminal investigation, Zhao Donglai judged that Liu Xinjian had probably met with misfortune.

Because of this case, twenty-five days have passed since the incident occurred.

The people at the Municipal Bureau seemed to be outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards their former director.

Not to mention, there are even more pressing issues now.

Qi Tongwei called, urging, "Zhao Donglai, come over quickly. Ding Yizhen's manhunt is about to begin."

"The Interpol Red Notice has been officially issued."

Zhao Donglai was inwardly distressed, but smiled broadly: "Yes, yes. Director Qi, I'm halfway there now. I'll be at the provincial department in ten minutes."

When Zhao Donglai arrived at the provincial department for the meeting, he saw Lin Yunfei, dressed in the uniform of a second-level police superintendent, sitting next to Qi Tongwei, looking at him expressionlessly.

Qi Tongwei chuckled and teased, "Oh, isn't this our Director Zhao? You've been making us all wait for you."

Lin Yunfei suddenly made a sarcastic remark: "Yes, Director Zhao is riding high right now, he's Secretary Sha's right-hand man."

Swah——

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei's expression immediately changed.

He knew perfectly well that Lin Yunfei's background was absolutely impenetrable. His wife, Zhao Lan, was the First Political Commissar of the Handong Military Region, a powerful Major General.

Lin Yunfei's words directly told Qi Tongwei that Zhao Donglai had now joined Sha Ruijin's camp.

Last time, Hou Liangping acted rashly and impulsively, and arrested Zhao Lan.

This matter caused quite a stir and was practically an open secret in the entire officialdom of Handong.

However, less than a week later, Zhao Lan was acquitted, and Sha Ruijin suffered a complete defeat at the provincial party committee standing committee meeting.

His own teacher, Gao Yuliang, and the newly appointed governor, Zhao Anbang, joined forces to secure 8 votes, more than half.

Qi Tongwei also noticed Lin Yunfei's form of address.

How to properly address a leader? This is an art in officialdom.

Name + title is the most common way to address someone. It's generally used between colleagues.

In addition, there are surname + position, full name + position, given name + comrade, and full name + comrade.

The more formal the address, the more dangerous the signal.

This proves one thing: Lin Yunfei's attitude towards Zhao Donglai, and even towards Sha Ruijin.

Qi Tongwei, from a well-off family, had worked in the political and legal system for over twenty years. He also served as the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department for eight years. He naturally understood the implications.

To put it another way, consider this: if you went to report to Sha Ruijin yourself, he simply wouldn't take you seriously or accept you.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei's face immediately darkened.

Even though she was so humble and wanted to rely on Sha Ruijin, she was not even considered.

It's because he was hoeing the ground for Chen Yanshi.

Zhao Donglai's expression immediately changed, and his mind raced: "Secretary Lin, don't joke with me. I'm just a lowly police chief."

Zhao Donglai addressed him as "Secretary Lin," not "Director Lin."

Because he knew that Lin Yunfei was not only the Executive Deputy Director of the Handong Public Security Bureau, but also the Second Deputy Secretary of the Handong Provincial State Security Bureau.

Lin Yunfei looked at Zhao Donglai with a meaningful smile: "Director Zhao, you're now Secretary Sha's favorite."

"Secretary Sha, you are a classmate of the Central Party School. I highly recommend you."

Swah——

Qi Tongwei's expression changed slightly, his face shifting between light and dark.

Listen carefully to the underlying meaning of Lin Yunfei's words; the key point is the Central Party School.

Zhao Donglai even has connections with the Central Party School.

This connection even extends to knowing Sha Ruijin.

What is Sha Ruijin's rank? He is a ministerial-level official.

Of course, it's possible. Five or six years ago, he was at the vice-ministerial level.

By putting himself in this shoes, Zhao Donglai met a deputy ministerial-level leader from the Central Party School. This person happened to know Sha Ruijin.

Zhao Donglai's expression was uncertain: "Secretary Lin, your information... is quite thorough."

Lin Yunfei smiled but remained silent.

"Alright, let's start the meeting. Today is the Ding Yizhen treason case, a rally to apprehend him."

“I will be the leader of the fugitive pursuit team, and Zhao Donglai will be the deputy leader,” Qi Tongwei said quickly, snapping out of his daze.

. . . . . .

After the meeting, Lin Yunfei hurriedly left the Provincial Public Security Department and headed to the Jingzhou Municipal Government.

Yunfei, come to my house tonight, let's have dinner together.

This is a message from Governor Zhao Anbang.

Lin Yunfei quickly replied with a message: "Okay, Uncle Zhao. I'll bring Lanlan to the Provincial Party Committee compound at 6 PM."

The Jingzhou Municipal Government, led by Mayor Wu Xiongfei, held an investment promotion conference.

"Comrades, I hope everyone will speak freely."

“Our Guangming District in Jingzhou City is currently facing a fiscal deficit. District Chief Chen Hai has come to me in desperation.”

Wu Xiongfei was wearing glasses and holding a teacup. He took a sip of green tea.

Chen Hai looked haggard and bowed to everyone: "Distinguished leaders, comrades, please lend a helping hand."

Everyone was silent.

Lin Yunfei remained silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Hai with a disdainful expression.

"Comrade Yunfei, do you have any ideas? Speak up boldly."

Wu Xiongfei spoke slowly, looking at Lin Yunfei with a smile and an encouraging tone.

Lin Yunfei slowly stood up and nodded: "Mayor Xiongfei, actually I served as the district party secretary for a period of time. Guangming District has both big and small problems."

"Most of the major units in Guangming District are labor dispatch companies, which is commonly known as outsourcing," Lin Yunfei said, making a startling statement.

Swah——

"District Chief Chen, according to my undercover investigation, the Finance Bureau, Water Resources Bureau, Agriculture Bureau, Education Bureau, Industry and Commerce Bureau, Science and Technology Bureau, Meteorological Bureau, and Organization Department of Guangming District all outsource their work."

"All the staff working at the administrative approval windows are outsourced."
