Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

Gao Yuliang took a sip of water, put down his teacup, and said, "Old Chen, Wang Wenge's case is still under investigation by the public security system."

Chen Shan is the head of the Provincial Public Security Department; contacting him directly makes communication between father and son easier.

No matter what, Gao Yuliang will not get involved in this mess.

Upon hearing Chen Shan's name, Chen Yanshi immediately shook his head. "Yuliang, I just had a fight with Chen Shan. I told him that his unfilial son wouldn't listen."

"Yuliang, tell me, who else can I turn to?"

This is also to protect Chen Shan.

No matter how much they argued or made a fuss, Chen Yanshi never intended to give up on Chen Shan, nor would he hold Chen Shan back.

Gao Yuliang leaned back. "Old Chen, you can go find Executive Vice Governor Qi Tongwei."

Forget it, I should go find Secretary Sha Ruijin.

Even if Qi Tongwei is mentioned, it seems Chen Yanshi won't go looking for Qi Tongwei; he'd only be asking for trouble.

Xiao Jinzi is Chen Yanshi's adopted son.

Instead of seeking an adopted son, I'll look for myself, the third-ranked student in the province.

Ha ha!

Gao Yuliang was too lazy to care.

With those words, he directly passed the buck, refusing to get involved in any pleading or intercession.

After listening, Chen Yanshi knew in his heart that Gao Yuliang was determined not to help, and any further argument would be a waste of breath.

He could only nod helplessly, "Alright, Yuliang, I understand your difficulties. I won't force you. I'll go find Xiaojinzi now."

Chen Yanshi was unsure whether it was appropriate to ask Xiao Jinzi, which was just a casual remark.

After bidding farewell to Gao Yuliang, Chen Yanshi walked out of the provincial party committee office building alone.

He hopped on the electric scooter parked downstairs, sat on the seat in a daze, and repeatedly weighed the two paths Gao Yuliang had given him.

They were afraid of causing trouble by seeking out Sha Ruijin, but they were afraid of making enemies by seeking out Chen Shan and his son.

After weighing the two options, only Qi Tongwei remains as a viable path.

The person I least want to ask is Qi Tongwei, but I have to go now.

He took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and swiped the screen again and again, but he still couldn't find Qi Tongwei's phone number saved.

There isn't even an office phone.

This put me in a real bind. I figured I might as well just go into the provincial government office building and find someone.

Chen Yanshi rode his electric bike to the gate of the provincial government compound next door.

The security guards on duty at the main gate immediately stepped forward to stop him, strictly adhering to security regulations. They inquired, "Sir, this is a restricted area of ​​the provincial government; please stop here."

Chen Yanshi felt a little annoyed. "I went into the provincial government compound to look for someone."

This was the first time in Handong that a gatekeeper had dared to stop him.

Entering the provincial party committee compound is almost like going home.

I never expected that even getting into the provincial government compound wouldn't be so smooth.

The guard had naturally heard of Chen Yanshi, a prominent figure in Handong, but he was determined not to let him off easily. "May I ask which leader you are looking for? Have you made an appointment?"

This question is reasonable, justifiable, and in accordance with the law.

Chen Yanshi straightened his back and said, "I am Chen Yanshi, former Executive Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate."

I need to speak with Executive Vice Governor Qi Tongwei about official business and important matters.

I thought that once I revealed my name, these snobbish guys would definitely let me go immediately.

To everyone's surprise, they had no intention of letting him in at all.

I've hit a wall!

Upon hearing the commotion, Han Lifeng, the head of the guard team, rushed over. Rules couldn't be broken, especially since they had all heard about the feud between Chen Yanshi, Chen Yang, and Qi Tongwei.

Looking back now, it seems that Old Chen, now retired, was just fooling around when he sought out Qi Tongwei to discuss official business.

We must not let them pass easily.

Who told Qi Tongwei to be the second-in-command of this compound, and perhaps the first-in-command in the future.

We must stand guard for our superiors.

"Mr. Chen, you need to make an appointment and register if you want to see Governor Qi. We cannot let you pass without an appointment."

Chen Yanshi felt that a tougher approach was necessary. "Young comrade, call Qi Tongwei and tell him that an old guy named Chen Yanshi is looking for him."

Han Li stood firm and refused outright, "I'm really sorry, Elder Chen, I don't have Governor Qi's phone number."

Even if I had the phone, I couldn't make the call.

"Don't you understand the rules of the provincial government compound? Whoever needs to do something has to make an appointment."

Hearing this, Chen Yanshi felt a surge of anger and resentment.

He had fought for Handong his whole life, and after retiring, he devoted himself to working for the grassroots workers. However, he was mistaken for a suspicious person by the young guard, which left him with mixed feelings.

Chen Yanshi suppressed his anger and patiently explained to the guard, "Young comrade, I am an old Party member and a veteran revolutionary cadre who participated in the revolution. I am not here to cause trouble."

"Okay, you just wait, I'll call Qi Tongwei right now."

First, move away from the main gate and get to the trees by the roadside.

After much thought, I realized that my daughter Chen Yang was Qi Tongwei's ideal woman, so she must have Qi Tongwei's phone number.

He immediately dialed Chen Yang's number.

The call connected, and Chen Yang's puzzled voice came through, "Dad?"

Back then, it was Chen Yanshi who interfered in Chen Yang and Qi Tongwei's affairs, and Chen Yang almost had a falling out with Chen Yanshi.

Over the years, Chen Yan has returned to Handong to see Chen Yanshi very few times.

Chen Yanshi cut to the chase, "Yangyang, do you have Qi Tongwei's phone number in your phone? Send it to me quickly."

Chen Yang was a little disappointed. He hadn't expected that his father would contact him to ask for Qi Tongwei's phone number.

Chen Yang felt a little better whenever people cared about his work.

Chen Yang planned to make things difficult for Chen Yanshi. "Dad, I remember someone repeatedly telling me back then that he would never talk to Qi Tongwei in his life, and that the Chen family and the Qi family would never have anything to do with each other again."

Why did you suddenly ask for his phone number today?

Chen Yanshi was unwilling to offer further explanation, saying, "Yangyang, those were those years, and now is now; we can't generalize."

I'm here today on official business. I'm representing the workers of Dafeng Factory to raise issues affecting their livelihoods and to advocate for them. This isn't about personal grudges.

Chen Yang was still worried, fearing that Chen Yanshi would cause a scene at the provincial government. "Dad, please don't act impulsively and cause a commotion, or create unnecessary trouble."

Think of your grandson, Little Ball.

Chen Yanshi, growing impatient from the questioning, urged, "Yangyang, you're just a girl, what trouble could I possibly cause?"

Don't talk nonsense, I'm just speaking up for the people.

Send me Qi Tongwei's phone number within two minutes.

Otherwise, I'll kill myself.

Crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide will definitely work.

Upon hearing that Chen Yanshi was truly enraged, Chen Yang had no choice but to compromise, "Alright, alright, you're my father, I'll issue it right away."

Less than ten seconds after hanging up the phone, a notification sound came from my phone.

I finally got Qi Tongwei's number.

Chen Yanshi strode to the guard post at the provincial government gate, held up his phone, and handed it to Han Li. "Young comrade, look, this is Governor Qi Tongwei's number. I'll call him now."

It took more than ten seconds for the call to connect.

The person who answered the phone was Cai Xiaofei, Qi Tongwei's full-time secretary.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

There's a reason why the secretary answers the call.

Han Li called Qi Tongwei's office, and Cai Xiaofei answered the phone.

Qi Tongwei thought he should just have his secretary deal with Chen Yanshi; he really didn't want to see Chen Yanshi.

Chen Yanshi spoke with great confidence, saying loudly, "I am Chen Yanshi. Secretary Gao Yuliang of the Provincial Party Committee sent me to find Qi Tongwei."

"Okay, please wait a moment." After hearing this, Cai Xiaofei didn't dare to make a decision on his own and immediately handed the phone to Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei took the phone and recognized Chen Yanshi's voice. "If it's a private matter, there's no need to come over. We don't discuss private matters during office hours. I don't have time to receive you."
