Nominal: Student Union? The school's Youth League Committee!

Not to mention, this Secretary Wenbo is no ordinary person, and he probably doesn't only have Secretary Yuliang as an ally.

He was unaware of the situation at the provincial government, but who knew whether Governor Wenbo was representing himself or the provincial government?

I dare not think about it, I really dare not think about it. If I follow Secretary Dakang, it won't be long before I'm thrown out to take the fall.

However, with Secretary Yu Liang in charge, well, we don't know the exact situation yet, but it's clear that Secretary Yu Liang's side has the upper hand.

Even though Lü Gang was thinking about these things, he didn't miss a single word Gao Yuliang said.

"Comrade Lü Gang!" Gao Yuliang said slowly.

"Hey, Secretary Yuliang, I'm here!" Lü Gang carefully continued.

"You were surprised to see Wenbo, weren't you?" Gao Yuliang said.

After hearing this, Lü Gang began to analyze Gao Yuliang's handwriting again. Every word a leader says can have a different meaning.

Even the same words can have completely different meanings in different contexts.

Wenbo? There was no comrade, and the governor was nowhere to be seen either. Moreover, they were sitting together. Their relationship was probably deeper than he had imagined.

Thinking about these things, Lü Gang didn't forget to reply.

"Indeed, there are some; Secretary Yuliang, you flatter me!"

"No," Gao Yuliang continued.

"What's there to be ashamed of or not?"

"It's just that nobody noticed it themselves!"

"Wenbo is my student!" Gao Yuliang said with a smile.

"But how many people actually know this?"

"Many of today's provincial standing committee members were either serving in other provinces or local positions back then!"

"Not many people know about this!"

"Even if some people still know, those who have retired are all retired!"

"Plus, Wenbo kept a low profile back then!"

"There are probably still a few people who know that Wenbo studied at Handong!"

"After all, Wenbo is famous for his financial acumen!"

"Undergraduate studies mainly focus on economics, but graduate studies combine law and economics!"

"They spent three years under my tutelage!"

"Over the years, our contact has never diminished!" Gao Yuliang said calmly.

But to Lü Gang, these words were like a thunderclap.

Is there such a connection between Secretary Yuliang and Governor Wenbo?

There had been no prior rumors, and few other people probably knew about their relationship.

"And another thing!" Gao Yuliang was about to continue.

"Wenbo's father was a friend of mine, a very good friend!"

"We went to the countryside together, worked together, and only gradually drifted apart later!"

"But Wenbo is also under my tutelage!"

"Tell me, what kind of relationship do we have?"

"Secretary Yuliang, it's me!" Lü Gang said, his lips trembling.

"Let me add something too!" Wang Wenbo smiled.

"The governor already knew about my relationship with Uncle Gao!"

There's no need to elaborate on Wang Wenbo's case; this is indeed the true situation.

Did the governor not know? Yes! Did Wang Wenbo lie? No!

However, they didn't say anything supportive. But sometimes, what's the difference between not supporting, not speaking up, and tacitly agreeing?

But to Lü Gang, it sounded completely different.

The governor knows?

There's still no news coming back, does that mean the governor is on their side too?

The governor, the executive vice governor, the standing committee vice governor, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, the secretary of the Luzhou municipal party committee—I wonder if there are any other people.

Moreover, the governor and the provincial party secretary have joined forces, so by any measure, they have the upper hand.

Even if Secretary Dakang follows Secretary Sha, what difference will it make?

What are the chances of winning? Probably not!

Secretary Yuliang's side was already more powerful than Secretary Dakang's, and their subordinates were probably about the same size.

One is from the Han University faction, and the other is from the secretary faction, but Secretary Yu Liang's own position is higher.

He's considerably taller than Secretary Dakang.

Plus, he's the provincial governor, after all; how could he possibly lack any real power?

If you calculate it that way, it seems like Secretary Dakang is at a disadvantage!

Thinking about it, Lü Gang shook his head violently.

No matter how high Secretary Yuliang's chances of winning are, he seems to have no room for maneuver!

Now that he's being made a scapegoat, does he have the right to be picky?

Now that Secretary Gao Yuliang and Governor Wenbo have told him these things, how can he possibly escape?

Even if he tells the truth now, or betrays the company, can Li Dakang really shield him from the blame?

Or, with Gao Yuliang and Wang Wenbo working together, can he still be alright?

"Secretary Yuliang, Governor Wenbo, is there anything you two can do for me?" Lu Gang resigned himself to his fate and said to Gao Yuliang.

"So, the Bright Peak project really was a disaster?" Gao Yuliang asked.

"Yes, Secretary Yuliang!" Lu Gang's face grew even more bitter as he mentioned this.

"You have no idea!"

"At first it was fine; I thought it was because Secretary Dakang was giving me an important position!"

"But when you actually start taking responsibility, you realize how big the pitfalls are!"

"All the land inside that was supposed to be sold has already been sold!"

"In fact, the land use designation for many properties was incorrect; the designation changed, and the money disappeared!"

"We want to make some changes, but the higher-ups won't allow it, saying they can't let the investors leave!"

"If we move, they might escape!"

"But we have no money. Teachers' salaries are heavily owed, and the district can't even pay them!"

"Other places are also dirt poor!"

"But a while ago, Secretary Dakang summoned me!"

"They said I should give Dafeng Factory money to pay the resettlement compensation!"

"The Guangming District is so poor they're practically selling their pants, and they still want money?"

"And that's not all, they also told me to approve land for the Guangming District!"

"So you got all the benefits?"

"The resettlement compensation has been paid, but new land still needs to be approved?"

"Don't even mention that there's no land left in the Bright District; even if there really is!"

"Ha, they're planning to spend hundreds of thousands to buy several acres, even more than ten acres of land!"

"They can't afford even one acre!"

"If we can't do it, someone will come and cause trouble—the rest of the people at Dafeng Factory, and that Old Chen!"

"Secretary Dakang didn't dare offend anyone, so he forcefully imposed the task on him!"

"Would I dare approve their application? Or would I dare give them the money?"

"If I gave it to them, I'd be finished myself!"

"You won't give it to me? Secretary Dakang says that's lazy governance and I'll be criticized!"

"They say I'm even more terrifying than corrupt officials!"

Once he started talking, Lü Gang couldn't stop. He seemed to have a lot of grievances to vent, and now that he had the chance, he wanted to pour them out.

"Secretary Yuliang, Governor Wenbo, I'll be frank with you both!"

"I'm just waiting for Secretary Dakang to deal with me!"

"Otherwise, if nothing goes wrong, all will be well. But if something does go wrong, I'll have to go in!"

"Moreover, things were better before, but now, Secretary Sha's investigation into corruption is very serious!"

"The anti-corruption situation is becoming increasingly severe across the country, and I've worked diligently my whole life!"

"I wouldn't dare say I made a huge contribution, but I don't want to end up going in so confused and clueless at the last minute!"

"Comrade Dakang did indeed do something inappropriate in this matter!" Gao Yuliang commented.

"So, Secretary Yuliang, what are your instructions?" Lü Gang asked.

"Secretary Yuliang, you are surely aware of my current situation!"

"There's nothing left to lose!" Lu Gang said, then gave himself another bitter laugh.

"Alright, since you've said so!" Wang Wenbo's expression also turned serious.

"I'm telling you to report Li Dakang!"

"What? Reporting Li Dakang?" Lu Gang was surprised that Wang Wenbo would say something like that.

He had initially thought he was being asked to gather information or find something to use against him, but he never expected that he would be asked to do this.

Should I report it directly?

This is a major taboo in their system!
