Boss Nie had three things to worry about in his life: fire prevention, theft prevention, and Song Zai prevention.
Although he didn't come, his presence was felt everywhere. So, while Song Yuanchao was whispering and plotting something important with the landlady, the boss called. Of course, he hung up and continued his secret conversation with the landlady.
Because he's a good person, he oversimplified things.
He said, "Secretary Wang's idea is that since our old man is going to stay for three days, he will definitely go out incognito for a stroll. I will let him know so that they can arrange for Minister Guo's brother to have a chance encounter with the old man."
He added, "I could tell he just wanted to put on a show and curry favor with our old man, so I turned it down."
But Chen Rou said, "No, we can't push it away, and you have to give them a heads-up."
Song Yuanchao thought for a moment and understood: "You want to turn the tables on them and teach them a lesson, right?"
But then he immediately added, "I suggest you don't. These past few days, all the major media outlets in Hong Kong have been stationed in Shenzhen. You know Director Zhao of the Public Security Bureau; he's already been working for three days straight and has to work for another three. His eyes are bloodshot. Minister Xue of the Armed Forces Department is also working around the clock to maintain order, so that the media from Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea can see a Shenzhen that is not only thriving but also safe. If we cause trouble, it will not only alarm the old man, but the reporters' photos will also become a black mark on his record."
Chen Rou understands this best, because she will be working here in the future. Whenever there are various meetings, she will work through the night for several days, for fear that theft or robbery might occur and cause a bad impression, affecting the city's reputation.
Although this meeting was small, it was of great significance, and the pressure on the military and police systems was immense.
Police, firefighters, and armed police have all canceled their off-duty hours and are on high alert 24 hours a day.
It would be utterly inhumane for her to cause further trouble and create accidents for the seniors; she herself couldn't bear to do it.
However, if Chen Rou doesn't take advantage of Nie Ronglai's visit to deal with Minister Guo, she's afraid she won't be able to get rid of him later.
Because people like Minister Guo are particularly good at cultivating relationships.
They want to take on projects, but they won't use the money on the projects themselves. Instead, they'll use it to bribe all sorts of people, like Song Yuanchao, a bodyguard. They'll give him 100,000 yuan in one go. What about other people?
This would certainly have its advantages. If Song Yuanchao were greedy, he would notify Nie Rong in advance when he wanted to travel incognito, and they would wait on the road Nie Rong was bound to take, and then put on a good show to win Nie Rong's favor.
Nie Rong, unaware that he had been betrayed, was merely watching a show. Instead, he would use this opportunity to get to know and value the brothers, and promote them. Of course, with just a word from him, Liang Lisheng would also assign projects to the brothers.
Neither of them could have imagined that someone had set them up.
In this way, the Guo brothers would also bribe all sorts of people. Where did that money come from?
Of course, it will be deducted from the project payment, since the cost will ultimately come from the consumer.
But if they use all the project funds to build relationships, how can the quality of the project be guaranteed, and how can they make money?
There's only one answer: they cheated ordinary people and the government, and they built shoddy construction projects.
But that's not the worst part. What's truly frightening is that in recent years, several Hong Kong real estate developers have become notorious for cutting corners by building shoddy projects with sea sand, using sea sand to construct dozens of stories high-rises that turned into dangerous buildings.
Because his reputation was ruined, his property was unsold, and he was sued by the government, he had no choice but to jump off a building.
Among them were several of Liang Lisheng's friends. He saw what was happening and was terrified, fearing that there would be problems with the sand used for building construction. That's why he arranged for his son, Liang Sihan, to personally oversee the sand washing plant.
What would happen if the Guo brothers and the Nie family started cooperating, with one side wanting to produce substandard products but the other side not allowing it?
There is only one answer: get rid of Liang Lisheng and replace him with someone they can corrupt.
But of the few old men she met after arriving in Hong Kong, apart from Nie Rong, she didn't want anything to happen to the others.
Therefore, Chen Rou must win over Minister Guo within these three days.
Since martial arts won't work, let's try civil tactics.
But she's a special forces soldier who comes from a fighting background and isn't good at underhanded tactics. What to do?
If Chen Rou had to describe Boss Nie in just one word, she would say an idiom that fits perfectly: treacherous and cunning.
He was also annoying because even though Li Xia was her mother, Chen Rou couldn't talk to her on the phone every day, because she was the kind of person who only liked to make phone calls when discussing serious matters.
But Nie Zhao was different. He especially liked making phone calls, and he always talked about meaningless nonsense. For example, he would talk about what he had for lunch, who he had made an appointment with in the afternoon, what business they were going to discuss, or ask Chen Rou what she had for lunch and dinner, whether she had a good appetite, and whether she was happy.
For Yu Chenrou, eating is just a means to survive. Unless it's for work, she never remembers what she ate for her last meal. That's why she usually doesn't answer those meaningless phone calls from Boss Nie.
But he was calling Song Yuanchao just now, and he hung up. Only five minutes later, he started calling Chen Rou again.
However, this time she had to give him face and answer the phone, because she needed Boss Nie to come up with a rather insidious plan to pull the Guo brothers out of various important departments and preferably send them to jail.
She knew that, just as water that is too clear has no fish, corruption can never be completely eradicated.
But like Song Yuanchao, she has eyes that cannot tolerate injustice and a heart full of righteousness. When she sees injustice, she must take action; otherwise, she fears she will betray her conscience and the stars that once graced her shoulders.
