When a national investigation team comes, local leaders host a banquet to welcome them, and local economic pillars accompany them. This has become a rule in the Chinese officialdom.

Of course, some people have jobs to do, so they can eat or not eat the first meal, which is not unusual, especially for newcomers, who usually decline the first time.

Even if you want to accomplish something, to achieve some merit, you have to integrate with the locals. Otherwise, no one will cooperate, and even if Congress comes in person, it will be useless. You can skip the first meal; it's just a matter of attitude, after all. But Qin Shi's behavior left Mayor Gu, who was in charge of the reception, somewhat puzzled.

You can refuse to eat, you can keep people away from you, but Qin Shi actually asked who the person was from Hengtai first, and only chose to refuse after learning that it was the general manager. What does this mean?

Is it because Mr. Qian’s status is not high enough, or is it because his status is too high and a bit conspicuous?

"Team Leader Qin, I saw the Congressional document a while ago. What kind of investigation are you here to conduct this time? Is it real estate? We should be prepared!"

"We'll investigate everything, not just real estate, but many other related matters. Some of the information can only be collected in Shanghai. Can we do it bit by bit?"

"Yes, yes, in that case, let's hold our welcoming banquet together with the celebration banquet in the future. With Team Leader Qin in charge, we will definitely give the country a satisfactory answer!"

"Okay, by the way, Mayor Gu, ask that General Manager Qian to come to our investigation team tomorrow morning for some tea. We need his cooperation on some of our work!"

"Oh? Mr. Qian? That Team Leader Qin, what kind of cooperation does he need? I can ask him to prepare in advance!" He didn't even have the welcoming banquet, and now he wants people to come over for tea. Could it be that Team Leader Qin came for Mr. Qian?

"No need to prepare anything, it's just a routine investigation, all you need to do is notify me!"

"well!"

Mayor Gu left the investigation team and always felt something was wrong, so he got into his own car and told the driver directly.

"Xiao Li, go to the headquarters of Hengtai Group!"

The car was driving, and Mayor Gu directly called General Manager Qian of Hengtai Group.

"That's right, this is the whole story. You can't eat anymore. You should think carefully about whether you have committed any crime against Team Leader Qin in any way."

"Whether you remember or not, come on time tomorrow. Remember, be careful with your words. This time, Team Leader Qin seems to have a very deep background. Don't make him unhappy. If anything really happens, you have to sacrifice your money to save your life. Don't force it!"

"I'm only telling you this for Chairman Xu's sake. You can handle it yourself!"

After hanging up the phone with Mr. Qian, Mayor Gu made another call. Although the other party had not answered the call, Mayor Gu had already started smiling and looked very flattering. After a while, someone on the other end of the phone answered.

"Director Lu, I'm Gu Hengqiu from the Magic City. I hope my second aunt is doing well!"

"Well, the congressional investigation team has come to the Magic City, and I want to ask about Qin Shi!"

"No, no, isn't this the leader coming? I was just thinking about entertaining him!"

"What? Even you don't know what to do? What? Minister Tie doesn't know?"

"Don't worry, my butt is absolutely clean, you can rest assured about that!"

"I understand. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you!"

Gu Hengqiu put down the phone, but his face looked a little ugly. He had just called his uncle and realized what kind of person Qin Shi was. He was a big shot that even the Minister of Iron and Steel had to give him some respect. And no one knew what was going to happen this time.

But Mayor Gu knew that the action this time must be very strict, otherwise Director Lu would not have reminded him, fearing that he would cause trouble for him.

"Xiao Li, turn around and go back to the office!"

"Leader, aren't we going to Hengtai?"

"No, it may not be a good place!"

Mayor Gu left, but Qin Shi and others were not idle. They sorted out many clues and prepared a lot of information locally. People from relevant departments also reported to Qin Shi one after another. If anyone had any doubts or excuses in cooperation, Qin Shi would directly let them go to the nearby Duty Crime Investigation Section for tea.

After only being here for half a day, they had already caused unrest in Shanghai. Leaders of many departments tried to inquire about the intentions of the investigation team through their connections, but without exception, they received no response.

The people at the top knew what Qin Shi was going to do, but no one wanted to be involved in such matters, let alone such a small matter as cooperating with the work. Even if Qin Shi turned the Demon City upside down, the higher-ups would not say a word against it.

The next morning, two luxury imported cars stopped at the gate of the investigation team's temporary office. A middle-aged man in a suit and tie came to the investigation team surrounded by his entourage.

"Stop! This is a military-controlled area. No outsiders are allowed to enter. If you need work, please register nearby!"

"Humph, what a grand ceremony!"

The middle-aged man was none other than Qian Zhiqiu, the general manager of Hengtai Group. He was allowed to pass only after his identity was confirmed and he registered.

"The investigation team has instructed that only the registrants need to go in by themselves, and the rest of you can drive away!"

The soldiers standing guard were all armed with real guns and ammunition. Although they looked unhappy, they could only let Qian Zhiqiu in.

"You must be Qian Zhiqiu from Hengtai Group, right? Come with me to the conference room. Team Leader Qin is waiting for you!"

All the members of the team have come, as well as many external investigators. Although it is just an investigation team, security is tight and no one dares to discuss the team's mission privately.

Qian Zhiqiu was taken to the conference room. At this time, Qin Shi and Wan Li were busy organizing materials in the conference room. Seeing someone coming, Qin Shi stood up and greeted them.
