Investigate me, Zhao Dehan? Believe me or not, I'll take down Zhong Xiaoai?

If it were someone else,

My instinctive reaction upon seeing Zhong Zhengguo was whether I was about to be placed under investigation.

"Dad, why did he say that Handong could become a new breakthrough point?"

Zhong Xiaoai was completely baffled.

To know,

Handong is the birthplace of the Chinese emperor.

In order to protect this core base,

The retired emperor insisted on letting Zhao Lichun, a famous reform general, sit in the top position there for ten years.

It's important to know that Zhao Lichun is a native of Handong.

He started from the grassroots level,

First become the top official in Jingzhou,

Then he jumped to become the top administrative official in Handong.

Finally, he became the secretary of the Handong branch again.

Based on this resume,

It's rare to see this even in our country.

Anyone with eyes can see that

Handong was extremely important to the old imperial faction.

But I don't trust leaving it to someone else.

Only Zhao Lichun, this local bigwig, put their minds at ease.

Of course,

The old imperial faction did not mistreat Zhao Lichun either.

This year, Zhao Lichun was transferred to Beijing to become one of the main leaders.

"Because Comrade Zhao Lichun left Handong."

Zhong Xiaoai was taken aback: "Dad, isn't Comrade Zhao Lichun being promoted?"

"Of course, it's a promotion."

Zhong Zhengguo said solemnly, "A promotion from the provincial level to the vice-state level is certainly a high promotion, and it is also an affirmation of Comrade Zhao Lichun by the organization!"

Zhong Xiaoai was confused.

She recalled how Zhao Dehan dared to say that she was short-sighted.

He couldn't help but ask, "Dad, then why did you say that?"

Zhong Zhengguo said meaningfully, "Comrade Zhao Lichun has stayed in Handong for far too long!"

Zhao Lichun spent nearly twenty years in just the number one and number two positions.

In addition to his previous years of work experience…

This man dedicated his entire life to fighting on the frontier of Handong!

This is also why the retired emperor wanted Zhao Lichun to continue staying in Handong.

Because as long as he is in Handong,

I'm sure I can keep things under control!

That's where the problem lies!

As the old saying goes, "Success and failure both depend on Xiao He."

Zhong Zhengguo said slowly, "Comrade Zhao Lichun has been immersed in Handong for so many years, he must be able to make decisions on his own."

This is similar to the common saying that wealth doesn't last three generations.

The first generation of entrepreneurs, along with their brothers, fought tooth and nail to build an empire.

Then, when handing over the reins to the second generation, a problem will arise.

The second generation couldn't control the old ministers in the kingdom.

Therefore, the second generation must kick out the old ministers!

Normally,

Even this small kingdom is plagued by internal strife.

This resulted in a severe depletion of their vitality!

Zhong Xiaoai finally understood.

Her voice trembled: "So, because Zhao Lichun left, Handong became vulnerable?"

Zhong Zhengguo nodded: "This is also the main reason why the position of Secretary of Handong has remained undecided for so long."

He looked at Zhong Xiaoai: "This Comrade Zhao Dehan you mentioned is quite interesting."

"I never imagined that someone as lowly as a section chief could see things so clearly?"

"It's truly a waste of his talent!"

"How did you two meet?"

27: Going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard! The Zhong family is in crisis!

The imperial city,

Deputy directors were everywhere.

A division-level official is worse off than a dog.

Zhao Dehan was absolutely imposing in front of cadres from other provinces.

But in the imperial city...

So he's just a nobody, a nobody.

Of course, Zhong Zhengguo wouldn't take it seriously.

Who would have thought that such a minor official, barely above the level of a sesame seed,

They were surprisingly able to pay attention to the situation in Handong.

And accurately pinpoint the problem.

This immediately caught Zhong Zhengguo's attention.

It's easy to find a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a good general!

To remain in power in politics,

This person is quite important.

Zhong Xiaoai quickly replied, "It's quite a coincidence."

"Old Li from my workplace, whose wife, Bai Xiaojie, is preparing to conceive, wanted to learn some techniques, so she came to me."

"Then Bai Xiaojie introduced Zhao Dehan, whose son's grades weren't very good..."

I don't think so!

Zhong Zhengguo said, "This invitation was most likely initiated by Zhao Dehan indirectly through Bai Xiaojie."

Zhong Xiaoai let out a cry of "Ah!"

Her heart was pounding.

That…that…

That day, I acted as if possessed by a ghost.

What exactly is the reason?

Were you drugged?

but,

Zhong Xiaoai thought about it carefully afterward.

I don't look like I've been drugged at all.

And there's no such opportunity.

"This comrade is very thoughtful."

Zhong Zhengguo chuckled: "He wants Liangping's current position?"

Zhong Xiaoai felt a pang of sadness: "Dad, what about Liangping?"

There's nothing we can do about it.

Zhong Zhengguo shook his head: "Young people are too impulsive; they unknowingly become someone else's weapon."

“I’ve thought it over. Once he gets out, he’ll definitely leave the capital.”

Since Zhao Dehan has come up with the idea,

Zhong Xiaoai also came over.

Zhong Zhengguo could easily rescue Hou Liangping.

but,

Just as Zhao Dehan had predicted,

Because of Hou Liangping's carelessness,

His political future has essentially come to an end.

At this time,

The only thing the Zhong family could do was to sideline him.

"Xiao Ai".

Zhong Zhengguo patiently said, "It's not that Dad is heartless."

"That's how politics is; you absolutely cannot let your guard down."

"Now that Liangping has been dealt with like this, he has become a weakness in our Zhong family."

"Releasing him out of the capital is actually a way of protecting him."

Zhong Xiaoai lowered her head: "Dad, what are Haoran and I going to do?"

"Things will work themselves out when we reach the bridge!"

After thinking it over carefully, Zhong Zhengguo said, "Say yes!"

Zhong Xiaoai was taken aback.

She then realized what was happening.

It turns out they were referring to Zhao Dehan.

"Dad? So fast?"

Zhong Zhengguo nodded slightly: "That seat in Handong has been empty for a while now. I think it's time for us to break the silence."

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light!

In fact, during this period of time,

Zhong Zhengguo is also considering the future of the Zhong family!

From the outside, the Zhong family appears to be living a life of great prestige.

In reality, only he, the current head of the family, knew that the Zhong family was on the verge of danger.

As the old saying goes,

Going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard.
