Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

Gao Yuliang hung up the phone and decisively unplugged the telephone line.

Chen Yanshi can look for whomever he wants, as long as he doesn't find himself again.

It's so annoying; I've always had to deal with trivial, mundane things.

Moreover, Gao Yuliang used to think he could become a high-ranking official and take Sha Ruijin's place.

He felt he had enough influence in Handong, which is why he helped Chen Yanshi without any scruples.

Besides, the trouble Chen Yanshi caused him wasn't anything too serious.

In addition, the other party was his former boss, and he also had to put on a show for the outside world.

That's why he helped Chen Yanshi again and again. Now that he's in Handong Province, he has less and less say. The arrival of two powerful regional officials has made it difficult for him to move an inch.

He was extremely cautious in everything he did. In addition, Qi Tongwei, the director of the Public Security Bureau, had turned against Zhao Xia. Although he had helped Qi Tongwei and still had some say in the matter, he was definitely not as influential as before.

Previously, she was Qi Tongwei's only one, but now she is just a teacher.

Ji Changming from the procuratorate has started to disobey his orders and is constantly siding with Hou Liangping, trying to curry favor with the Zhong family.

Gao Yuliang is in a terrible predicament. He is extremely distressed and doesn't know where to go from here. If it weren't for his old leader Zhao Lichun calling him frequently to encourage him to hold on, he would have been in a much worse situation.

Even if he does nothing, just occupying that spot is good, otherwise he...

Like Qi Tongwei, he may have already begun to defect.

Although his scholarly integrity allowed him to hold firm to his last line of defense, Zhao Xia did not come with hostility.

"What a turbulent time!"

"A storm is brewing!"

Gao Yuliang took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, looked out the window at the scenery, and became sentimental.

She fantasized about whether continuing to teach at Han University would have been a good outcome if she hadn't been handpicked by Liang Qunfeng.

"Hehe, there's nothing wrong with teaching at Han University, but this path offers me a wider world of possibilities."

Gao Yuliang chuckled softly, sat back down in his seat, and put his glasses back on.

The bewilderment and helplessness on his face vanished completely.

What changed was a pair of sharp eyes.

The path we choose is our own, and we have to bear the consequences.

This is a principle that this great professor often teaches his students, so how could he himself possibly fall into confusion?

On the other side, Chen Yanshi saw that Gao Yuliang had actually hung up the phone on him without saying a single polite word.

He was furious, mainly because he had lost face in front of the workers at Dafeng Factory. Calling Gao Yuliang, the full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the political and legal affairs committee, was completely useless.

They simply don't want to get involved, no matter how much face you give them.

Chen Yanshi looked at Qian Shengli, the vice chairman of the Dafeng Factory's labor union, whose eyes were already filled with suspicion.

He was so angry that he was burning with rage.

With a stern face, he coldly snorted, "So, Gao Yuliang, back in the day at work..."

Chen Yanshi started reminiscing about the past again, and Qian Shengli didn't dare to stop him.

He listened to Chen Yanshi talk for a full half hour. Chen Yanshi saw that Chen Shengli could continue to listen to him talk for a whole day and night.

He still managed to project an expression of admiration onto the other person's face.

Chen Yanshi really can't just ignore it.

"Don't worry, I was in charge of Dafeng Factory back then, and I will definitely see this matter through to the end." Chen Yanshi puffed out his chest and put on a glorious image again.

Qian Shengli appropriately revealed an expression of admiration.

The two, one old and one middle-aged, started acting again.

Chen Yanshi was the first to be defeated.

Qian Shengli seemed to have figured out how to use Chen Yanshi: when Chen Yanshi wanted to praise him, you just listened, watched, and complimented him.

Once you've made him feel comfortable, then you can make your request. He definitely won't refuse it, given his old face.

Chen Yanshi is a case in point.

He realized he had some influence over Sha Ruijin, but not much. If he made the call and Sha Ruijin helped him, he might have used up his own favor.

But when he called Sha Ruijin, he didn't do anything for him.

That would be telling everyone that Chen Yanshi doesn't have much influence with Xiao Jinzi at all, and that their relationship is fake, like a bubble that bursts at the slightest touch.

Then how could Chen Yanshi, by abusing his power, become a tyrant in Handong Province?

Chen Yanshi frowned, took a few deep breaths, and realized he was in a predicament he couldn't back down from.

Qian Shengli's control was so precise that he didn't give him a chance to breathe at all.

"Don't say anything. I'm calling Xiao Jinzi right now. Gao Yuliang doesn't care, but I don't believe Xiao Jinzi would disobey his adoptive father. My words are completely useless!"

Chen Yanshi gave a haughty snort.

He's already been put on a pedestal, and he should use this favor when needed. Maintaining his special status is extremely important; as long as he maintains this status, he can still wield considerable influence in Handong Province.

Of course, his power to influence the world is limited to a few foolish people.

For example, Gao Yuliang and the other members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee knew that Chen Yanshi had asked Sha Ruijin to manage the Dafeng Factory. They wanted to use their last bit of personal connections to get Sha Ruijin to help.

Then these old monsters would know that Chen Yanshi no longer had any say in Sha Ruijin's affairs.

However, some of the lesser demons still couldn't fathom the mystery behind it, and could only think that Chen Yanshi was really amazing and could actually do it, truly Xiao Jinzi's adoptive father.

Countless people eager to establish this connection will likely flock to Chen Yanshi's courtyard, making it overcrowded once again.

"Beep beep beep beep!!"

"Hello, Mr. Chen? This is Xiaobai!"

Chen Yanshi dialed Sha Ruijin's number, but Sha Ruijin's phone was always with Xiao Bai's secretary, as for his private phone.

Sha Ruijin has kept it very well, and Chen Yanshi is not yet qualified to know about it.

"It's me, Chen Yanshi. Quickly give the phone to Xiao Jinzi, I have something important to tell him." Chen Yanshi shouted, as if afraid that others wouldn't know about his relationship.

Director Bai answered the phone, hesitated for a moment, and remembered Chen Yanshi's instructions.

"Old Chen is such an important person, he must tell me immediately if anything happens."

Although this advice seems insincere.

But even if it's fake, the phone call has already reached here, and Sha Ruijin doesn't have anything else to do today.

If Chen Yanshi really has something important to report, then I'll become an outsider.

So Secretary Xiao Bai replied crisply, "Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll go find Secretary Sha right away. Please wait a moment!"

Secretary Xiaobai approached Sha Ruijin, who was working, and spoke softly.

"Secretary Sha, it's Old Chen on the phone."

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin, in order to maintain his good relationship with Chen Yanshi, decided to...

He immediately spoke up:

"Bring me Old Chen's phone number quickly!"

Sha Ruijin knew that his relationship with Chen Yanshi was extremely important now, and the other adoptive fathers all saw it.

It's essential to maintain good relationships!

"Old Chen, it's me, Little Jinzi!"
