A seventy-year-old man helping an eighty-year-old cross the road could scare passing drivers so much they'd die on the spot.
Of course, this is just a general idea. Mr. Dong is a pragmatist. Since his beloved granddaughter has pointed out the way for him to do more good deeds and get published in the newspaper, he will think outside the box and find different ways to do things and get published in the newspaper to build his reputation.
He dared not dream of the Grand Bauhinia Medal, but he thought that if he performed well, he would be received by a few junior leaders when he went to the mainland in the future. After all, his ancestral home was on the mainland, and he might have the opportunity to return to his hometown to visit relatives in the future.
So, instead of taking a nap, Mr. Dong immediately summoned his strategist, Weng Hua, to advise him. They were preparing to launch a major charity project in Kowloon and do some good deeds to be reported in the newspapers.
And this time he's determined to overshadow Master Er and steal his thunder.
Back to Chen Rou, she didn't get a nap either. She had just hung up the phone when someone knocked on the door.
She opened the door and saw Song Yuanchao, who had taken off his sunglasses. He said, "I've found out everything."
Chen Rou reached out her hand and said, "Come in and let's talk."
Song Yuanchao not only didn't advance, but instead took a step back and said, "Let's talk here."
Chen Rou had already grasped most of the information he mentioned at the dinner table, but he also had new information, which Song Yuanchao had obtained through Wang, the secretary of the United Front Work Department.
He said, "Guo Fuzheng's father has taken on all the relocation projects of the municipal government, but they feel that is far from enough. We also have two landmark projects in the city center that are about to start construction. Since they involve import and export, it is better to use raw materials from the mainland. Guo Fuzheng's uncle just took office at Shenzhen No. 1 Construction Company last month. No. 1 Construction Company wants to contract all our construction projects, but Liang Lisheng is very strict in checking the qualifications and has been unwilling to agree."
He added, "Liang Lisheng won't budge, so the construction company can't get any projects. It's a real headache, so I'm trying to find a way to get through to Vice Chairman Liang."
Guo Xiaobai and Guo Xiaoliang—who would have thought they would be such remarkable figures?
However, from foreign trade to construction to government, they are practically a trinity, almost able to control everything.
The Nie family started out in real estate, and they mainly built super high-rise buildings. If the building materials and construction were substandard and resulted in a dangerous building, the Nie family's reputation would be ruined, their credibility would be lost, and they would be unable to continue doing real estate business.
That's why Nie Zhao only trusted Liang Lisheng to come to the mainland.
That old man was a rare find; he enjoyed doing things, and he did them seriously, without acting recklessly.
Moreover, he's quite old and riddled with illnesses, so he can't even indulge in women anymore. He's not cunning, making him a difficult target. But if they can't win him over, the Guo brothers won't be able to secure the skyscraper project built by the Nie family. What can they do?
Chen Rou roughly understood that the Guo brothers saw Liang Lisheng as an obstacle and were determined to eliminate him as soon as possible.
Of course, if they can do it, they could easily amass tens or even hundreds of billions of yuan in illicit funds within a few years by embezzling relocation compensation, manipulating raw materials, construction materials, and migrant workers' wages.
She let out a soft sigh and asked, "What did Secretary Wang say? What does Minister Guo want you to do?"
Song Yuanchao sighed softly before saying, "Secretary Wang is a demobilized military officer."
Chen Rou frowned: "So?"
Song Yuanchao felt quite distressed. He said, "His relationship with Minister Guo seems to be quite good. Miss Chen, I don't know if you understand what I mean, but... he has also been corrupted by money and is using the interests of the country and the people to seek personal gain and make small money."
At the meeting, he was able to meet two military veterans. One was Minister Xue, who looked thin and bony and didn't seem to have much influence. He also didn't have many connections and had been diligently doing his job. The other was Secretary Wang, whose large belly told Song Yuanchao that he must have eaten a lot of good food and drunk a lot of alcohol. Moreover, he had also talked with Minister Guo.
If it were about camaraderie forged in battle, Song Yuanchao would not hesitate to approach Minister Xue, have a good chat with him, and enjoy a drink together.
But if he wanted to inquire about corruption, he would have to talk to Secretary Wang.
You can tell from the belly that it's already corrupted.
He obtained valuable information, but he was deeply saddened that Secretary Wang had lost his faith and beliefs.
Perhaps it's something in her genes, but many of Chen Rou's behaviors are actually very similar to Dong Ye's.
She raised her hand, clenched her fist, and said, "Then let's seize on the weaknesses of those corrupt elements, uproot them, and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
This is a comrade with whom you can resonate on a soul level. Song Yuanchao didn't say anything, but he smiled as he raised the corners of his lips.
