Zhang Wen's name

Office of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

"Hello, Secretary Gao, I am Wang Guangming, the Executive Vice Governor of X Province. I have something to ask you."

Gao Yuliang, just by hearing his name Wang Guangming, you know what he's here for.

"Hello, Executive Director Wang, I don't recall that there's any business exchange between Handong and your X province."

"Secretary Gao, it's a personal matter I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Executive Director Wang, please speak. I'm listening."

"Secretary Gao, it's like this, my son committed a minor offense in your Handong area and was detained by your public security department. I'd like to bring him back to X province for interrogation, is that possible?"

"I'm sorry, Executive Director Wang, this case is under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau, and there's nothing I can do about it. That's all for now, I have to go."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuliang launched into a tirade, cursing, "Like father, like son! His son's involved in organized crime, and he actually says it's a small matter? Does he think everyone's going to indulge him? What a piece of trash!"

Wang Guangming, seeing that Gao Yuliang had refused, was still unwilling to give up. He immediately called Qi Tongwei, but Qi Tongwei was cunning enough to simply say that the province was taking the case very seriously.

Seeing that Qi Tongwei was unresponsive, Wang Guangming had no choice but to call Tian Guofu.

"Guofu, we're old acquaintances, you must help me."

"Guangming, your son is finished this time. Don't bother. Your son actually dared to form a criminal gang in Handong. Is he trying to rebel?"

"Guofu, I know Lingtian. He's my only son, and in my heart he's just a bit mischievous. I don't agree with the idea that he would dare to organize a criminal gang."

"Guangming, since you're someone I know, I'll give you a heads-up. Our Governor of Handong Province is taking this case very seriously." With that, Tian Guofu hung up the phone.

Wang Guangming stared into thought as Tian Guofu hung up the phone. Suddenly, a thought struck him: "If Governor Zhang agrees to let Wang Lingtian return to his hometown for trial, then we can make it happen."

"Hello, is this Governor Zhang?"

"Yes, I am Zhang Wen."

"Governor Zhang, hello, I am Wang Guangming, the Executive Vice Governor of X Province."

"Hello, Comrade Guangming, what can I do for you?"

"Governor Zhang, I do have a favor to ask of you. My son, Wang Lingtian, was detained by your Handong Public Security Bureau. I would like him to be tried in his hometown. I will definitely not bend the law for personal gain."

"Oh, so that's what this is about. Our provincial government attaches great importance to this case. We intend to treat it as a prime example of collusion between officials and businessmen."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guangming immediately became anxious and said...

"Governor Zhang, I know my son. He's always been a good boy. He often helps old ladies cross the street and wouldn't even step on the ants on the roadside. How could he possibly be involved in a criminal gang?"

"Executive Wang, we have evidence, so stop praising yourself. Your 'good boy' has over 30 criminal records. Okay, I won't grant your request. I need to get to work."

"Governor Zhang, is this how you treat a vice-ministerial level member of the Provincial Party Committee? I just made a small request, and you're so impatient. I can't believe how arrogant and domineering you are at work."

Hearing this, Zhang Wen, who thought he had a good temper, also got angry.

"Executive Wang, watch your words! Are you even referring to the cadre regulations? What do you mean I'm impatient? I've been answering your questions properly. I said no, no, can't you understand human language? People like your son, a social cancer, will definitely be dealt with severely in Handong."

"Zhang Wen, don't push your luck. I'll give the order right away. Our X province will not cooperate with your Handong province. We will immediately terminate any existing cooperation."

"Executive Wang, are you out of your mind? You're not going to cooperate with us? Are you trying to make me laugh? We're the investors! Besides, you're just an executive vice governor; you can't make decisions for your province."

"Executive Wang, I still have to remind you, as cadres appointed by Kyoto, we shouldn't act on emotion. If you stop, we in Handong will only lose some money, but your province will be in big trouble. You'd better think carefully and not attack again."
