Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

Liang Cheng immediately understood his father's concerns.

He leaned forward, his expression turning serious.

"Dad, this matter must be kept absolutely secret."

"Neither Zhong Heping's side nor Gao Yuliang himself can let the slightest word slip out."

Liang Cheng's tone was resolute.

"If Chung Heping knew our trump card beforehand, he would definitely try every means to sabotage Gao Yuliang at the Standing Committee meeting."

"If Gao Yuliang had known beforehand, he would definitely have been distracted from his work at the Public Security Bureau."

Liang Cheng said, emphasizing each word.

"This trump card must not be revealed until the very last moment."

Liang Qunfeng looked at his son with admiration.

"Don't worry, I have that much political awareness."

"That's what Secretary Lu meant too."

Liang Qunfeng picked up his teacup and drank the rest of the cold tea in one gulp.

"In the next few days, I will continue to conduct investigations throughout the province."

"Let's see if we can find a few suitable candidates and put together a complete list."

"If all else fails, we'll use Gao Yuliang as a bargaining chip."

Liang Cheng and his son completed the highest-level power arrangement in Handong Province in the living room.

at the same time.

The night outside the window grew darker and darker.

On the streets of Jingzhou, huge posters for Crescent Lake mineral water stand out prominently under the streetlights.

……

the other side.

The Provincial Party Committee compound.

Zhong Heping's villa.

A black sedan slowly pulled up in front of the villa.

The car door opened.

Zhong Xiaoai stepped out of the car wearing a business suit and high heels.

She had just finished working overtime at her company, and her expression showed a hint of fatigue.

Push open the heavy gate of the villa.

The living room was brightly lit.

Chung Heping, wearing a loose-fitting knit sweater, was sitting on the sofa reading documents.

Hearing the door open, Zhong Heping looked up and took off his reading glasses.

"You're back?"

Zhong Heping put down the documents in his hand and rubbed his slightly sore eyes.

"Yeah, there was some paperwork to finish at work today, so I worked overtime for a bit."

Zhong Xiaoai changed into slippers, hung her bag on the coat hanger, and sat down on the sofa.

She picked up the kettle on the coffee table and poured herself a glass of warm water.

"Brother, you're back pretty early today."

Zhong Xiaoai took a sip of water and asked casually.

"Things at the provincial government have just started to get a little sorted out."

Zhong Heping leaned back on the sofa, his voice sounding somewhat tired.

"Yi Xuexi reported to the Jingzhou Municipal Government today. Chen Jianguo is probably having a hard time."

Zhong Heping sneered, seemingly looking forward to Yi Xuexi's performance.

Zhong Xiaoai wasn't particularly interested in these intricacies of officialdom.

She put down her water glass and her gaze fell on a copy of the Handong Evening News on the coffee table.

The front page of the newspaper.

That huge blue droplet was blinding.

"Brother, do you think Liang Cheng has gone mad?"

Zhong Xiaoai picked up the newspaper, pointed to the "GG" on it, and looked completely puzzled.

"He made so much money from Speedata New City, why didn't he do something else with it?"

"Go into real estate, go into logistics, go into beverages—aren't any of those more profitable than selling water?"

Zhong Xiaoai threw the newspaper back onto the coffee table.

"A bottle of mineral water only sells for one yuan. After deducting packaging, transportation, and labor costs, how much profit is left?"

"He spent so much money on GG, how many bottles of water would he have to sell to break even?"

Zhong Xiaoai measured this project entirely by pure commercial profit.

In her opinion.

Liang Cheng's move was utterly foolish.

Zhong Heping's expression gradually became serious as he looked at his sister's nonchalant attitude.

He sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the blue water droplets on the newspaper.

"Xiao Ai, you're underestimating Liang Cheng."

Zhong Heping's voice was low and deep, revealing a profound sense of apprehension.

"This young man is extraordinary."

Zhong Heping pointed at the newspaper.

"You only see that bottled water doesn't make money."

"But you haven't seen through it at all; he's not selling water at all!"

Zhong Xiaoai was stunned.

She looked at her brother with a puzzled expression, completely unable to understand the meaning of his words.

Zhong Heping took a deep breath, his eyes sharpening.

He suddenly stood up.

He paced back and forth in the spacious living room, his leather shoes making a dull thud on the floor.

Take a closer look at the words on this "GG"!

Zhong Heping pointed to the newspaper on the coffee table, raising his voice an octave.

"Crescent Lake Mineral Water!"

Why did he choose the name Crescent Lake?

Zhong Xiaoai was completely confused.

"Crescent Lake is in Lüzhou, and the water quality is indeed good. Is there anything wrong with using this name?"

Zhong Heping stopped and looked coldly at his sister.

"Completely wrong!"

"He wants to force the name 'Crescent Lake' into the minds of every person in the entire Handong Province!"

Zhong Heping walked to the sofa, placed his hands on the coffee table, and exuded a terrifying aura.

"Just imagine, what if this mineral water really becomes famous?"

"People throughout the province and even the whole country are drinking the water from Crescent Lake."

"How much recognition will this bring to Lüzhou and Jinshan County?"

Zhong Heping spoke slowly and deliberately, as if each word weighed a ton.

"This is more than just a business project."

"This is a super engine that can drive the economic development and cultural tourism of the entire Lüzhou!"

Zhong Xiaoai was completely stunned.

He opened his mouth wide, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

She originally thought Liang Cheng was just making a losing deal.

Now, after listening to my brother's analysis...

She suddenly realized that such a huge political and economic conspiracy was hidden behind this.

"For the officials of Luzhou, this is a tremendous achievement that fell from the sky!"

Zhong Ping straightened up, his eyes gloomy.

"Liang Cheng built the factory in Jinshan County, which solved the local employment problem and boosted the GDP."

"He made Crescent Lake famous and boosted the local tourism industry."

"How do you think the officials in Luzhou will view Liang Cheng?"

Zhong Heping gave a cold laugh, his smile bitter.

"They'll treat Liang Cheng like a god of wealth, like a living Buddha!"

"Anyone who dares to touch Liang Cheng's property is jeopardizing the livelihoods of the officials in Luzhou, and ruining their careers!"

Zhong Xiaoai gasped sharply.

She finally understood why her brother was so wary of a young man in his early twenties.

"This...this is even more terrifying than Suda New City."

Zhong Xiaoai stammered.

Zhong Heping walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the dark night outside.

"Suda New City is only focusing its efforts in Jingzhou."

"But this Crescent Lake mineral water project has directly extended its reach to Lüzhou, and even radiates throughout the entire province."

"In my opinion, this project's influence is second only to Suda New Town!"

Zhong Heping turned around, his face turning ugly.

His worst fears have finally come true.
