In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

"Do we really have to endure this suffocating situation?"

Li Jiachen was frantically questioning herself internally.

What can we do if we don't accept it? If we really anger them, we can forget about doing business in mainland China, and even our business in Hong Kong will be severely impacted.

Li Jiachen clenched his right fist, a cigar between his left and right hands, a voice in his mind constantly tempting him.

Humans fight for pride, even ghosts fight for a stick of incense. If we back down this time, what if there's a next time? And the time after that?

After smoking three cigars in a row, Li Jiachen slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "Damn it, are you all bullying me?"

"Since I'm not planning to stay in China anyway, why should I be afraid of you guys? I, Li, have never been inferior to anyone in my life. Am I going to put up with this kind of humiliation in my old age?"

Even so, Li Jiachen remained seated, smoking a cigar, without making any further movement...

At the same time, Secretary Aimin also reported the situation to his superiors: a debt of about two trillion yuan.

As one of the leading companies in the real estate industry.

If Hengda were to collapse, it would be a devastating blow to the entire real estate market.

Upon receiving the message, an emergency meeting was convened to discuss it, just as Chen Luo had anticipated.

The path of official support for Hengda University is simply not feasible. Saving one Hengda University is easy, but saving thousands upon thousands of Hengda universities is a disaster.

At the same time, we can't just stand by and watch it explode...

How can we solve this problem?

For the time being, there really wasn't a good solution.

The next morning, Chen Luo had just arrived at the provincial government and sat down to look at some documents when the phone started ringing incessantly.

Upon closer inspection, I realized it was my senior from university.

Good morning, senior!

"Tsk, you sound like you're in a good mood?"

Chen Luo smiled and nodded, saying, "With excellent health and a great appetite, I'm naturally in a better mood."

"I thought you'd be so worried about Hengda Group that you couldn't eat or sleep, but you're the opposite. After you brought up the problem, you don't seem to care at all."

Hearing this, Chen Luo leaned back and said simply, "Why should I care? Hengda's debt has nothing to do with me, it's not my responsibility. I discovered the problem in advance and reported it, so I should be credited."

As for how to solve it... if the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up. You seniors are all experienced; pooling your wisdom and ideas is far better than me just brooding over it all by myself.

"Sophistry... Let's not talk about that. Hengda's problem is indeed a headache. Official support is impossible, otherwise others will just follow suit."

However, ignoring the situation is also not an option. The higher authorities have stated that even if the real estate industry's future potential is exhausted and it is destined to decline, it cannot descend steeply; a smooth transition must be ensured.

"Senior, that makes sense, but... avoiding a disaster is incredibly difficult!"

"Uh...you really have no other choice?"

The sudden question startled Chen Luo.

Minister Xu noticed it immediately.

"Well, you're hiding your ideas. Opportunities are rare and hard to come by."

Chen Luo understood this principle, but his solution was not yet mature.

"Senior, my idea is a bit too bold, and I'm not sure if it will work... therefore..."

"Hey, you go first!"

Having said all that, Chen Luo had no choice but to reveal all his thoughts.

"You know the senior from Tianlong Group, right?"

"The one with Secretary Qin's son?"

"ah?!"

Chen Luo was shocked.

"Why are you making such a fuss? For us, understanding each other's situation is a basic skill. As long as it's not too outrageous, we all turn a blind eye."

"Uh... senior, what I meant was that Tianlong Group has the resources to take over Hengda's real estate business, which should be enough to help the people. As for those greedy guys..."

"Let them live or die on their own."

"This is a bit of a problem. Who would be willing to cut off their own flesh?"

"That's why I said it's not very mature..."

"Alright, it is indeed a bit troublesome. We will discuss a solution in the next few days. Just wait for our notification."

"Okay, goodbye, senior!"

"See you again? I didn't call you about this. You've been working in Guangdong for almost half a year now, and you've already accumulated enough local experience. If you could transition to a ministry, your future perspective would be more comprehensive."

"But I've only been here for less than six months..."

"The higher-ups don't intend for you to stay in Guangdi long-term. The Ye family is quite sensible, and the higher-ups are very satisfied. If nothing unexpected happens, your term will only last about two years."

"Two years isn't a short time, is it?"

"You don't know anything. The number of important full-time positions in ministries can be counted on one hand. If you don't keep an eye on them in advance, even a cooked duck will fly away."

"I've got my eye on one for you. I'll ask you first and see if you're interested. It was someone from above who told me to ask you."

"Senior, please speak!"

"Well, the director of the Cyberspace Administration of China will be retiring in less than two years. You will serve as the director of the Cyberspace Administration of China for two years, concurrently serving as the director of the State Internet Information Office, and also as the deputy minister in charge of the daily work of the Central Propaganda Department."

Do you think this is okay?

"Senior, I'm not picky..."

"It is indeed a bit of a hardship, but the higher-ups said that you weren't brought here to just coast along."

Instead, we need to drastically correct societal attitudes, and the crackdown on online chaos must be tackled. Various departments and localities will cooperate with us.

"I obey the organization's decision!"

"Okay, let's settle it first. It won't be long, just about two years. There will be more vacant positions when the leadership changes."

"Thank you so much, senior!"

"No need for thanks. We all know you have no ulterior motives, so no one will deliberately stop you."

Don't feel wronged. Logically speaking, if the top official in Guangzhou were to be reassigned, the worst outcome would be a position as secretary in another province. Even your two predecessors, Qin and Ma, have entered the cabinet. But you have to understand, you are too young...

Like a piece of raw jade, others may not have the time to carefully carve it, but you can polish and refine it from all sides. Others may only become decent gems, but you have a chance to rival the legendary He Shi Bi jade!

"Senior, I understand!"

After ending the call, Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The current work isn't finished yet, and they're already scheduling other tasks... Are they treating me like a donkey?"

Chen Luo joked, but he was secretly delighted.

The fact that the higher-ups are frequently transferring him shows that they are really working hard to cultivate him; who wouldn't be happy about that?

Chen Luo was happy, but Hengda's problems still couldn't be solved. The higher-ups weren't stupid either; if the government couldn't step in to provide support, then they would turn their attention to private enterprises.

After much deliberation, Tianlong Group was the most suitable.

The pressure was directly applied to Tianlong Group, which can be considered a silent understanding!
