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

"Cai Chenggong, I have no grudge against you, and we're even brothers who grew up together. Why did you harm me!"

Hou Liangping had only one thought in his mind.

In the interrogation room, the person who came to interrogate Hou Liangping this time was Tian Guofu, the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission. As for why he attached such importance to it, it was naturally because someone wanted Tian Guofu to convict Hou Liangping!

"Hou Liangping, now I'll ask you a question, and you answer it."

"Secretary Tian, ​​Secretary Tian! I've been wronged by Cai Chenggong!"

Hou Liangping wanted to continue protesting his innocence, but Tian Guofu's icy gaze made him stop mid-sentence.

"Currently, our provincial discipline inspection commission has received hundreds of letters reporting problems about you. In order of priority, we will first investigate the matter of Cai Chenggong bribing you."

"I'm asking you, Cai Chenggong said you were his protector, and there's ample evidence that he provided you with shares. You own 20% of the shares in the equity structure. What do you have to say about that?"

"Secretary Tian, ​​this is blatant slander!"

I admit that Cai Chenggong and I have been classmates since childhood, and we have never lost contact over the years. But I have never done any of the favors that Cai Chenggong asked me to do!

A few months ago, before I came to Handong, Cai Chenggong brought cigarettes and alcohol to my house, which I refused to accept. I genuinely don't understand why my name appeared on the shareholder list.

"Don't know? Hou Liangping, a simple 'don't know' cannot be taken as evidence. You need to understand that!"

Your name isn't something Cai Chenggong can just write on the equity structure or approve at will.

Without the identity information you provided, it has no legal effect whatsoever. Now you're saying you don't know? If every official who accepted bribes said they knew nothing, would that work? That's neither reasonable nor legal!

If you have no other evidence to prove that your name appearing on the shareholder list is a frame-up, then you know the final outcome!

"Secretary Tian, ​​I need to see Cai Chenggong! He must have been threatened to slander me! Yes! He must have been threatened!"

"We'll arrange a meeting when the prosecution is initiated, but since you're unwilling to cooperate, then forget it."

Tian Guofu then got up and left.

Judging from Hou Liangping's tone and expression just now, he probably really doesn't know why his name is on the shareholder list, but does it matter? No, it doesn't matter!

Several phone calls from Beijing made impressive promises to Tian Guofu, and their demands were simple: they wanted Tian Guofu to crush Hou Liangping with a single finger.

If the Zhong family cannot offer Tian Guofu a satisfactory deal, Tian Guofu will have no choice but to side with someone else.

As for whether Hou Liangping was truly wronged or not, to be honest, he didn't care much. Those who should care would investigate this issue.

Zhong Xiaoai had been very anxious these days, and she finally asked her father for help again after the New Year.

And what about Zhong's father?

The call was made directly to Sha Ruijin.

"Hello, Director Chung!"

In the provincial party secretary's office, Sha Ruijin's tone was noticeably calm after receiving a call from Zhong's father. This was something he had expected, even a few days later than anticipated.

"Comrade Ruijin, I would like to ask about Hou Liangping's situation. Although Hou Liangping is my son-in-law, I should theoretically avoid him, but I know his personality well."

He might be impulsive, but bribery would never happen to him. Is there some misunderstanding?

"Here it comes," Sha Ruijin replied after taking a deep breath. "Director Zhong, the evidence against him seems quite solid, and I'm willing to believe Comrade Hou Liangping, but..."

Some things are better left unsaid.

"By the way, Director Zhong, has Comrade Hou Liangping offended anyone? I heard that the Discipline Inspection Commission has received hundreds of whistleblower reports against Comrade Hou Liangping in the past few days, most of which came from Beijing. The comrades in the Discipline Inspection Commission are all shocked."

Upon hearing this, Zhong's father looked as if he had eaten shit.

After a long pause, he said in a trembling voice, "Perhaps it was because Liangping's attitude was too upright when he was working in the capital that some people misunderstood him."

"Comrade Ruijin, let's end our conversation here for now, I'm hanging up."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Zhong's expression turned grim. He really hadn't expected those guys to have such a keen sense of smell, able to pinpoint Hou Liangping's weakness even during the Chinese New Year.

"Xiao Ai, we've roughly figured out what happened. Your monkey has been reported by name in Handong, and the witness testimonies are quite convincing. Sha Ruijin can't directly get involved in this matter, especially with those people watching."

There's only one way to rescue him now.

"Dad, please tell me!"

"That means overturning all the evidence!"

"Huh? Can't you even say hello?"

Mr. Zhong rolled his eyes.

"Xiao Ai, I'm in a very high position now, and there are many other companies eyeing this position. Don't you understand?"

Zhong Xiaoai fell silent.

"Dad, I want to go to Handong!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong's father fell silent. Hou Liangping was already crippled in Handong, but what about his own daughter…?

"Dad, I want to go to Handong!"

When Zhong Xiaoai reaffirmed her decision, her father could only sigh heavily.

"Fine, you've been working in Beijing since graduation and have no experience working in other places. It will be increasingly difficult for you to move up the ranks. It's good for you to gain some experience."

But Xiao Ai, you should know.

The higher up in the oversight system, the fewer positions there are.

Whether you stick to one path or choose to switch tracks, you're still young, you still have choices, do you understand what I mean?

"Dad, I..."

Chung Hsiao-ai hesitated. Staying in the monitoring system would be easy and adaptable, but the future was truly bleak. However, to be honest, Chung Hsiao-ai lacked confidence in changing tracks.

"Take two days to think it over. There's no rush in Handong. As long as your monkey doesn't confess, it's still in the investigation stage. At most, he'll suffer a bit in the detention room, which may not be a bad thing for him."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai nodded; for now, this was the only option.

Guangming District, Jingzhou City.

The work of the district committee and government has been relatively smooth during this period. The Dafeng Factory incident has gradually subsided, and all tasks have been carried out as required. However, since the "hidden dragon" and "phoenix chick" are both in Guangming District, how can they remain depressed and subservient to others for long?

Chen Hai and Yi Xuexi, who were out conducting research, recently set their sights on a project: the renovation of the old city area!

This includes the renovation of dilapidated buildings, the improvement of infrastructure such as old lines and pipelines, as well as projects that give the city a brand-new look.

In theory, these projects should be something that the people are happy about and applaud, but the most important problem at present is that Guangming District has no money available in its finances.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is harsh. Chen Hai and Yi Xuexi are both very worried about money.

However, Zhuge Liang has his own strategies, and Feng Chu has his own tactics. Yi Xuexi's plan is to have a company take over the contract.

There are only a few companies in Jingzhou with this kind of strength. He is not familiar with the others, but he is very familiar with the Continental Group!
