Chu Yao smiled playfully, "Who asked you to protect me... I want to show them that even though my dad has gone in, the Chu family is still standing! Those who have received benefits from my dad, don't even think about staying out of this!"

"Oh?" Zhai Yuhan looked at Chu Yao with interest and smiled, "Does your father have any trump cards left for you?"

Chu Yao said proudly, "It's evidence that they violated the law. My dad said that with this evidence, they will be as obedient as dogs!"

"Interesting!" Zhai Yuhan laughed, "Sure enough, I knew that Uncle Chu had been a provincial leader for so many years, it is impossible for him not to leave a way out. I am getting more and more curious about this matter. I really want to see what expressions these officials in Hanjiang have when they face the evidence of their violations!"

Chu Yao laughed contemptuously, "Humph...their expressions must be uglier than those of a dead person!"

As she spoke, she took out a black leather book from the safe and opened the first page. It read, "Tu Ming...accepted valuable calligraphy and paintings from his subordinates, concealed his real estate, maintained an improper relationship with his female subordinates for a long time, and kept a mistress...Cheng Jingxuan, a provincial party committee general office official, accepted bribes on a large scale..."

It is recorded very clearly what each person has done and how much money each person has received from whom. As long as this black book is taken out, no matter what position the other party holds, he will surrender!

However, if these people knew the existence of this book, Chu Yao's life would be threatened. So Chu Guoan left this book to save Chu Yao's life, not to use it to seek improper benefits.

Zhai Yuhan roughly flipped through it and was secretly shocked. This small black leather book actually recorded the illegal and disciplinary violations of dozens of high-ranking officials... Whoever owns this book can definitely call the shots in Han River!

He couldn't help but look up at Chu Yao who had a calm face, and thought, maybe it was because of the existence of this notebook that Chu Yao was not influenced by Chu Guoan?

It's just a pity... Most officials are too low-ranking to help much. Only Deputy Secretary Tu Ming has a say among this group of people. Haha... But this is enough. As long as Tu Ming puts pressure on Pingyang, the chances of winning the project will increase by at least 20%!

...

The first confrontation between Xu Yilong and Zhai Yuhan came unexpectedly so soon.

The next morning, in the conference room on the third floor of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee.

Guo Xuecai presided over the ancient city project promotion meeting.

Xu Yilong and Zhai Yuhan were invited to participate as the main bidding companies.

At the meeting, both of them behaved very restrainedly.

They just disliked each other, but there was no conflict.

After the meeting.

Xu Yilong and Li Lin instinctively kept their distance.

This gave Zhai Yuhan an opportunity.

He took the initiative and acted very close to Li Lin in front of Xu Yilong.

"County Mayor Li... Oh, now I should call you Secretary Li... Congratulations, you are the youngest county party secretary in Hanjiang's history!"

Zhai Yuhan smiled and complimented Li Lin.

Li Lin was not smiling, and even asked seriously, "Are you Zhao Chengyi's boss behind the scenes?"

Zhai Yuhan obviously didn't expect Li Lin to ask this question. He smiled awkwardly and said, "To be precise, Zhao Chengyi and I are partners, not superiors and subordinates. I don't know what he did in Shannan..."

Li Lin smiled coldly and said, "You have done a good job of clearing yourself of all charges. So, the Pingyang corruption case has nothing to do with you? The people who bribed were all your subordinates. How could you, as a boss, be totally unaware of this?"

Zhai Yuhan said, "I trust my employees. Once I have chosen someone, I will give them a lot of power. I will pay them whatever money they want. As long as they can get the job done, I don't ask how they did it. But I didn't instruct them to do anything illegal... Of course, as the boss, I have responsibilities, but they are only responsible for not exercising strict discipline..."

Not strict enough discipline?

Haha, you really are good at making excuses for yourself!

Li Lin smiled disdainfully, "What's wrong with you stopping me?"

Zhai Yuhan said, "I just want to make friends with you...I hope you can take good care of me during the project bidding process!"

Li Lin said, "I'm sorry, everything is handled in an open and transparent manner, there is no favoritism."

Zhai Yuhan said, "So, you have never taken care of eLong?"

Li Lin frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhai Yuhan laughed and said, "Others may not know, but I know very well that you are Xu Yilong's brother-in-law... Am I right? As the chief commander of the project, didn't you reveal the news to Xu Yilong in private? Haha, I don't believe it!"

It turned out that Zhai Yuhan came to confront Li Lin.

Exposing the relationship between Li Lin and Xu Yilong in person seemed to be a threat to Li Lin to make their relationship public.

Fortunately, Li Lin had a backup plan to prevent some people from making a fuss about his relationship with Xu Yilong.

Li Lin said frankly, "You just found out about our relationship now? The comrades from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have known about it for a long time. Even if I have violated the rules, it is not your turn to say anything in front of me, right? You are just one of the many bidding companies... Who do you think you are?"

Um?

One of many bidding companies?

Zhai Yuhan was stunned and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by many companies? Aren't there just two companies, mine and Xu Yilong's?"

Li Lin smiled and said, "Sorry, no comment!"

Just now, Li Lin suddenly thought of a way to counter Zhai Yuhan.

Since Zhai Yuhan can muddy the waters and change the situation... Li Lin can do the same!

If Zhai Yuhan and Xu Yilong's companies compete, the chances of winning are 50-50.
