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

Liang Qunfeng fell silent.

Although he was angry, he was, after all, a seasoned politician.

My son gave me this insight.

I calmed down instantly.

indeed.

Political struggles require careful timing and strategy.

It’s too late.

If the Zhao family is really pushed to the limit, they'll resort to desperate measures.

It wouldn't benefit Liang Qunfeng either.

"So... we're just going to leave it at that?"

Liang Qunfeng still felt somewhat resentful.

"After all that effort, it's just ending like this?"

Liang Cheng picked up his teacup and gently blew away the foam.

A cold, sharp smile curved at the corner of his lips.

"never mind?"

"Of course not."

"Dad, you've only seen the first layer."

"But they didn't see that we had already won."

"Even more than arresting Zhao Ruilong!"

Liang Qunfeng was taken aback.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Are you too busy winning?"

"Son, what do you mean by that?"

Inside the study.

The aroma of tea wafts through the air.

Liang Cheng held up one finger.

"First."

"We have broken Zhao Lichun's golden statue."

Liang Cheng's voice wasn't loud, but every word was firm and resonant.

"Over the years, in the officialdom of Handong..."

"Zhao Lichun is like heaven, an invincible myth."

"Who dares to mess with the Zhao family?"

"Who dares to touch Zhao Ruilong?"

"But today, you did it."

"In front of all the Standing Committee members, you forced Zhao Lichun to swallow the conclusion that his family had improper conduct."

"This is unprecedented in the officialdom of Handong!"

A wise light gleamed in Liang Cheng's eyes.

"After this battle..."

"Everyone can see that Zhao Ruilong is just a spoiled brat."

"Zhao Lichun's prestige has been completely destroyed!"

"Those who were originally opportunistic towards him will probably have to think twice now."

Liang Qunfeng nodded repeatedly as he listened.

The anger that had been building up in my chest eased considerably in an instant.

Yes.

face!

In officialdom, appearances can sometimes be the key to success!

Zhao Lichun has lost face this time, which means he has lost his power!

Liang Cheng raised his second finger.

"second."

"These are real, tangible benefits."

"Zhao Ruilong's Shanshui Group exists in name only."

"Who calls the shots in the logistics market of Jingzhou and even the entire Handong region now?"

"It's our express logistics!"

"Without the Zhao family causing trouble, we can quickly integrate resources."

"Completely monopolize this vital economic artery!"

"This means that we have huge cash flow and thousands or even tens of thousands of jobs."

"This is the most solid foundation of your political achievements!"

Liang Qunfeng's eyes lit up.

Compared to the intangible concept of face, these tangible political achievements are what he values ​​most.

With this base.

He speaks with even more confidence when he's in the provincial party committee!

"There's a third one."

Liang Cheng raised his third finger.

This time.

His tone became exceptionally serious, even carrying a hint of seduction.

"And that's the most important point."

"Dad, please think about it."

"Secretary Lu's attitude at this Standing Committee meeting."

Liang Qunfeng recalled for a moment.

"Secretary Lu... he seemed to be specifically praising me for being good at managing the economy."

"They also asked me to participate more in the province's economic work."

"Snapped!"

Liang Cheng snapped his fingers.

"That's right!"

"In the past, everyone thought that Zhao Lichun understood economics and was the best candidate to succeed as governor."

"You're just a discipline inspection officer; you don't understand economics."

"But what about now?"

"The Zhao family has created a mess and established a criminal gang."

"And you, you created a star enterprise and solved the problem of laid-off workers."

"One gains at the expense of the other."

"From Secretary Lu's perspective, and even from the perspective of those above him..."

"Aren't you, Liang Qunfeng, more suitable for that position than Zhao Lichun?"

boom!

These words.

Like a thunderclap, it exploded in Liang Qunfeng's mind.

He suddenly stood up.

He braced his hands on the coffee table, his breathing becoming rapid.

Governor!

That position that he originally thought was hopeless and was ready to give up on.

now.

She waved to him again!

"son......"

Liang Qunfeng's voice trembled slightly.

Looking at the young man in front of me who seemed to have mastered the art of strategy.

He felt a surge of immense joy welling up inside him.

"What...how is your brain even structured?"

"You were absolutely brilliant in this game!"

If before it was just to vent my anger...

Now.

This is the road to heaven!

At this moment, Liang Qunfeng had lost all trace of anger.

He even wanted to hum a few lines of Peking Opera!

"Sit down, Dad."

"It's not over yet."

Liang Cheng remained calm.

It was as if all this glory was nothing but fleeting smoke.

"According to my information, Zhao Lichun has already arranged for Zhao Ruilong to go to Luzhou."

"Do you think this is Zhao Lichun's delaying tactic?"

"No."

Liang Cheng turned to look out the window.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the night, looking towards that distant city.

"That was the beginning of the Zhao family's demise."

"With Zhao Lichun watching over him in Jingzhou, Zhao Ruilong is somewhat more restrained."

"But after going to Lüzhou..."

"That's because the emperor is far away."

A cruel sneer curled at the corner of Liang Cheng's mouth.

"With Zhao Ruilong's personality, he will definitely become even more greedy and reckless in his pursuit of wealth."

"At that point, the crimes he committed won't be something that a few thugs can take the blame for."

"That's a capital offense!"

Liang Cheng turned around.

Looking at his father, who was completely convinced.

He said, slowly and deliberately:

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."

What we need to do.

"I just quietly watched him perform in Luzhou."

"Then."

"At his most insane moment."

"To give him his final... send-off gift!"

Liang Qunfeng looked at his son.

I felt a chill run down my back.

But then...

It was an unprecedented surge of heroic ambition!

Having a son like this.

Why worry that great things cannot be accomplished?

"good!"

"What a brilliant 'whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad!'"

Liang Qunfeng patted his son's shoulder heavily.

"Son, you're right."

"The battlefield ahead will not be limited to Jingzhou."

"Let's see who has the last laugh!"

......

Jingzhou, the Zhao family.

The deep night, like a huge black curtain, enveloped this once arrogant mansion.

The main lights were not turned on in the study.

Only one table lamp emitted a dim, yellowish glow.

Zhao Lichun sat in a grand chair, a cigarette between his fingers, but he didn't bring it to his lips for a long time.

The cigarette ash accumulated for a long time before finally falling slumped onto the expensive carpet.

Zhao Ruilong fled to Luzhou overnight.

Although the person was saved, the Zhao family's reputation was thoroughly humiliated by the Liang family father and son.

"Dad, have some tea."

Zhao Xiaohui gently placed a cup of hot tea on the table.

Her complexion was also not good, but her eyes were much calmer than Zhao Lichun's.

"Xiao Hui."

Zhao Lichun's voice was hoarse, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

"Do you think I'm really getting old?"

"Even Liang Qunfeng, that bookworm, can now ride roughshod over me."

Zhao Xiaohui shook her head.

She sat down in the chair opposite her father, her tone frighteningly calm.

"Dad, this time we lost not because of Liang Qunfeng."

"We lost because of Liang Cheng."

"This kid's methods are too unorthodox; he doesn't play by the rules at all."

Zhao Lichun snorted coldly, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

"What can a little brat do to deserve this?"

"Wait until this storm passes..."

"dad!"

Zhao Xiaohui interrupted her father, raising her voice slightly.

"You absolutely cannot move now!"

"Liang Cheng now holds the power over employment and public opinion, and he controls public discourse."

"Although Lu Kangcheng seems to be trying to maintain a balance, his eyes are fixed on our family."

"Any action we take in retaliation will be like handing Lu Kangcheng a knife!"
