An Changlin's words seemed to be blaming An Xin, but they were actually mixed with personal motives. He was avoiding the main issue and directly handing the case over to An Xin so that he could gain merit.
Many people were resentful. He lost his police gun, disappeared when investigating cases, but when it was time to make a meritorious contribution, he stepped in.
Having someone to rely on is great.
Anyone would be dissatisfied with this.
Meng Dehai also sensed everyone's emotions. He didn't actually like An Changlin's arrangement either, but since the other party was the second-in-command of the branch office, and the tasks had already been assigned, he couldn't change them.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Dehai stood up and said, "There have been a lot of rumors circulating in the police force recently, saying that some of us are protectors of organized crime. This time, I want to tell everyone that we will never back down in eradicating organized crime. I hope that there are no such black sheep in our police force! Alright, everyone, let's split up and get to work!"
One by one, the police officers left the conference room and began to split up to carry out their respective tasks.
An Xin was also excited, talking to Li Xiang about the details of how to capture Guo Zhen, completely unaware that the other team members were looking at him strangely.
Only Meng Dehai and An Changlin remained in the conference room.
After a moment of silence, Meng Dehai spoke first: "You went a bit too far in this matter. Other people in the police force will be upset."
An Changlin sighed and said, "Well, An Xin may have made some mistakes, but he's really good at handling cases. Putting him in charge of arresting Guo Zhen was based on his abilities. As the saying goes, you can recommend someone based on their merits, even if you're related to them. What, you seem to have a problem with this kid now?"
“I’m not targeting anyone personally, but Anxin definitely has his own problems this time,” Meng Dehai said, frowning.
"Alright, alright, I'm helping him for your own good. Think about it, given his relationship with Meng Yu, won't he be your Meng family's son-in-law sooner or later?"
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not even close to being settled yet. Besides, Meng Yu has never mentioned An Xin when she called me recently. I don't want to interfere in young people's love affairs, and you shouldn't stick to your old ideas."
After speaking, Meng Dehai got up and left the meeting room.
An Changlin paused for a moment, then rubbed his bald head and said helplessly, "You brat, this is all your Uncle An can do for you. Sigh, what a wonderful relationship, how could it just end like that?"
While An Xin and Li Xiang were busy arresting people, Tang Ping's KTV was already undergoing renovations.
The original layout of Chen Shuting's game arcade and video game center was still there, and it was even decorated very luxuriously. This saved Tang Ping a lot of trouble. He could just have the construction team do some minor renovations and purchase some equipment, and it would be ready to open for business.
Since Chen Yilong was the one who funded the sale, Tang Ping didn't need to worry.
"The lighting should be dimmed so the guests can relax. Also, the private room should have a private bathroom; that would make it seem more upscale."
While Tang Ping was directing the workers on the renovation, Lin Yuan came over and whispered, "Boss, Hu Xiandong is here. He wants to see you."
"What is he doing here?" Tang Ping frowned slightly.
Tang Ping didn't have a good impression of Hu Xiandong. He thought the man was too ruthless and violent, and difficult to control.
But since it was sent by the big boss Chen Yilong, he couldn't refuse.
In the lobby, Tang Ping saw Hu Xiandong, who had a new scar on his face, which looked like a fresh injury.
Upon meeting, Hu Xiandong made a move to kneel down, saying, "My elder brother told me to learn from you, and I should do whatever you instruct me to do. Brother Ping, I was wrong before. If you still feel aggrieved, I'll kowtow to you!"
Hu Xiandong's attitude in admitting his mistake was very good, so Tang Ping would never let him kneel. He quickly helped him up and said with a smile, "It's not that bad. We're all grown men. Let bygones be bygones. Just work hard here from now on."
"yes!"
Hu Xiandong nodded and instructed his underlings behind him, "Come here and call him Brother Ping."
"Brother Ping!"
A dozen or so henchmen, exuding an imposing aura.
Tang Ping nodded, still quite satisfied.
Chen Yilong sent Hu Xiandong not because he didn't trust him, but because this guy must have gotten into trouble and was coming to lay low.
But this is good too. I'm exactly looking for a tough guy like Hu Xiandong. There's always trouble in running a KTV. With Hu Xiandong in charge, I can save myself some trouble.
Tang Ping appointed Hu Xiandong as manager, and he was also the legal representative of the KTV.
With Hu Xiandong keeping an eye on things at the KTV, Tang Ping felt much more relaxed. In the afternoon, he made a special trip to the factory in Mang Village.
The Yuxueqing soap is now on the market and selling very well, with many orders every day. Although it is far behind big brands like Safeguard and Diaopai, Yuxueqing's focus on the female market has attracted many beauty-conscious women.
Of course, Yuxueqing is positioned as a high-end product. For example, Safeguard sells for 3.5 yuan, while Yuxueqing is priced at 6 yuan.
The price is a bit higher, but the market response has been very good.
Factory manager Li Aiguo said, "Currently, one production line can fully supply the current market orders, but I estimate that there will be many more orders in the future. I suggest that we add another production line to ensure that there will be no shortage of goods."
Tang Ping nodded and said, "Yes, Yu Xue Qing will definitely sell well, and expanding production is only a matter of time. You are the factory manager, so you are in charge of this matter. If you need money for purchasing, go to Lin Yuan."
Tang Ping's benefits for the soap factory workers were arguably the best in the entire Jinghai region. Many people wanted to get in, and they had to pull strings to get in, so the workers were very hardworking and responsible.
This isn't a state-owned factory anymore; if you don't perform well, you'll be fired.
When I got home for dinner, I had just driven to the gate of the compound when Song Lili came back carrying a stack of books.
"How are you doing at school?" Tang Ping asked.
Song Lili said with some guilt, "Fortunately, I've fallen behind on a lot of things I learned before, and now I can only slowly pick them up again."
Tang Ping smiled and said, "No rush, take your time. Focus on your studies. If you're too busy, don't go to the internet cafe. Let Li Qiang and the others take care of it."
Song Lili shook her head and said, "How can that be? My cousin spent so much money to send me to school, and I already feel bad about it. I can't sleep soundly if I don't help out."
"Alright."
Tang Ping nodded, not pressuring her, and glanced back at Lin Yuan, saying, "Stay and have dinner with us, my mom made soup today."
After getting out of the car, Lin Yuan said with a smile, "I feel really embarrassed to be eating and drinking with the boss every day."
Tang Ping said, "If you feel bad, just help me think of more ways to make money, and that will be my way of repaying you."
As the three walked and talked, Lin Yuan said, "I don't have that ability, but boss, now that you mention it, I really remembered something. The soap factory in Mang Village is currently in the break-even stage, and the internet cafe and audio-visual store are making money. Since you have some spare money, why not invest in buying a few houses? Firstly, it will improve your living conditions, and secondly, it's an investment. I've been reading a lot of news lately, and I feel that these properties will definitely appreciate in value in the future."
