Chen Tinghan left school and got into the special car that the Lin family had gotten for him. Since the last feedback, the luxury car had become an ordinary commercial vehicle, and Old Lu was the driver on weekdays.
But today there were some surprises. Because of the order given by the black-hearted boss, Secretary Yu, who was busy all day long, actually came to drive the car himself.
It looks like he should be able to accomplish what Chen Tinghan asked him to do before.
As expected, without Chen Tinghan even asking, Secretary Yu pulled out a file bag and took the initiative to speak, "The survey of motorcycle taxi drivers you instructed last time is almost complete. This is the detailed report. Pages one to seven are the background investigation reports of these people, and page eight is the contact information of some of them. However, I have already completed the recruitment of these people.
I suggest that if you need them, you should mobilize them through me."
Chen Tinghan flipped through the report and couldn't help but say, "It's all done in just a few days?"
"The targets are all motorcycle taxi drivers. The workload is heavy, but the difficulty isn't too great," Secretary Yu said. "I've eliminated some who had dirty hands in their past, or who simply have criminal records. Strangely, Wang Kai isn't even on the list. The few who have ties to the Wang Group were all sentenced years ago and released to resume their old jobs."
Chen Tinghan raised his eyebrows and asked, "No hidden stakes?"
"Even if there are, they won't be a big deal." Secretary Yu started the car and said as he drove forward, "Look, that row of convoys over there all obey us. In addition, each area has such a convoy."
Chen Tinghan said in surprise: "It must cost a lot of money to support so many people, right?"
Secretary Yu smiled and said, "It didn't cost much, actually. After all, they aren't professionally trained. As you said, we can just let them walk around the streets and get some information, but we can't expect them to do anything big.
Actually, they're more like mercenaries. They listen to us, but not completely. Aside from a small number of people I consider capable, I sign contracts and pay them directly. Most of the others' main job is still drivers, but when we need them, we'll assign them the next mission. Anyone who's free, who wants to make some extra money, or who provides us with the information we need can take the job and get paid."
"Professional," Chen Tinghan gave a thumbs up and said, "I was really worried that you would have to pay them all properly."
"That's not possible. This is not the way to spend a lot of money." Secretary Yu said with a smile.
Chen Tinghan nodded. Nothing could go wrong if he handed this matter over to Secretary Yu. He then asked, "And what about the thing you told me in the text message?"
"I was just about to say that." Secretary Yu said, "Pei Ziming, the man you asked me to keep an eye on, flew away from Wanghai some time ago. It took me a while to track down his whereabouts, but I only found out later where he went."
Chen Tinghan cooperated and asked, "Where did he go?"
"It doesn't matter where he went. What matters is that he came back yesterday, and he brought someone with him." Secretary Yu's expression suddenly became serious, and his voice was low: "That person's name is Liu Junlan."
Chen Tinghan pondered for a moment, searching his mind for clues about this name. After a while without any results, he asked, "Should I know this person named Liu Junlan?"
"Her husband is Lai Hongyi, the journalist who wrote the Puzhen report."
Chen Tinghan's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Secretary Yu said: "Since you and Wang Kai are enemies, you must be familiar with the name of reporter Lai. Pei Ziming has been investigating what happened in Pu Town. I don't know where he got the basis and confidence, but it seems that he has traced it back to reporter Lai.
He even flew off the island to bring back the widow of reporter Lai. He must have ulterior motives."
Chen Tinghan whispered, "Help me find out where Liu Junlan is now."
"No need to check. He brought the person back with him and had no intention of hiding him. He's right here in Reporter Lai's old house in Wanghai."
Chen Tinghan immediately said: "How many people have noticed this situation?"
"The person landed at Wanghai Airport last night. I was deliberately following and investigating, so I learned the news the fastest. If anyone else is also paying attention to this kind of news, they should have known it right away."
Chen Tinghan said decisively: "Drive, we will pay a visit."
"You're going there yourself?"
Secretary Yu's well-controlled hesitation reminded Chen Tinghan just right, making him realize that this decision was a bit abrupt and impulsive, and he fell into deep thought.
After a while, Chen Tinghan raised his head, his eyes full of determination, and dialed Wang Jinling's number. The phone rang once before the other end picked up the call, and the girl's cold voice came out: "Hello?"
"I have a new cooperation, do you want to take it?"
......
......
In 2004, Pu Town.
Anyone who sees Pu Town today will praise it as a well-deserved sea-viewing weather vane. In just two years, from site selection, project establishment to bidding and construction, muddy roads have been replaced by reliable and solid roads, and the town’s original old houses have been preserved without hindering development. At the same time, a large number of new buildings have sprung up, and various parties have moved in to ensure the town’s quality of life.
Perhaps within a few years, a tourist destination with an island style unique to Wanghai will shine before the world.
Many people think so, and Lai Hongyi is no exception.
In fact, if you look closely, he was suspected of taking money to do the job. After all, he was invited and came all the way from Wanghai City to write a few flattering articles, mainly about a person who is grateful for what he has received.
However, Lai Hongyi didn't care. After all, traveling at public expense, with a special car to pick up and drop off, and all-inclusive food and accommodation, such favorable conditions are hard to find anywhere in this day and age. If he can't get a salary of less than a thousand yuan a month, he might as well ask for some benefits for himself sincerely.
After getting out of the car, he tilted his bag over to protect the important filming equipment inside. Looking at the thriving scene, the shallow guilt in his heart disappeared instantly.
Originally he was a little worried that if this place was too bad, he would have to go against his conscience and the meal would be unpleasant. But now he doesn't have such worries anymore. At least this new tourist destination is worth visiting just looking at the town.
Most importantly, the person specially assigned to lead the way was a girl in her twenties, very pretty, with a hot body. He immediately went over to greet her, saying, "Hello, pretty girl, what's your name?"
The pretty girl was quite individual. She tossed her hair and said, "My last name is You."
"You, what a rare surname. Your name must be very meaningful."
"You're surprised by what you've seen." Miss You rolled her eyes and said, "Reporter Lai, you're a family man, so respect yourself."
Lai Hongyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed foolishly and said, "Yes, yes, work is the most important thing. How about you, pretty girl, introduce me to this place?"
She said stiffly, "I'm not a full-time tour guide. I'm just here to take you along. Just look where I point you. Don't ask any nonsense questions. Do you understand?"
So this is what a special car is, a special ride... Lai Hongyi smiled and nodded, replying, "No problem."
