Chapter 248 Intricacies
Chapter 248 Intricacies
In an office in Jianghuai Hotel, Zhong Weidong came over to make a phone call.
"Secretary, I have already done what you asked me to do. I have invited Secretary Zhao Guoyang and Director Zhou Hailin to the box."
"And I'm lucky today. I happened to meet the New Huai Group here. Lu An has set up a private paging station, and the New Huai Group wants to acquire it."
"I also suspect that Lu An deliberately arranged today to use the power of Ji An's nephew to scare the New Huai Group."
"But it doesn't matter. I can just tell Secretary Zhao about the paging station incident. You know he cares most about party rules and regulations."
"The final result is very good. Lu An is a very smart kid. I believe he will understand what you mean."
"Okay, Secretary. You're too kind. I'm just following your instructions. No matter whether it's Secretary Zhao or Director Zhou Hailin, I wouldn't be able to save face if you didn't say hello to me."
"No, no, no, I really don't need anything. I also have high hopes for Yan Ji'an. He calls me uncle, so I have to do something to live up to this title!"
Zhong Weidong then complimented him a few times before hanging up the phone, and finally left with a satisfied smile on his face.
And the person on the other end of the phone was exactly as Lu An had expected, Yan Chengguang, the mastermind behind today's dinner.
But compared to Zhong Weidong's contentment, Yan Chengguang frowned as he held the phone.
The reason was very simple. He had originally prepared several thank-you gifts for Zhong Weidong, but he refused to accept any of them, and he didn't even mention any reward.
Everything was his own instructions and his own face; since Yan Ji'an called him uncle, he had to do it.
The old fox Yan Chengguang didn't believe these things, and the more generous and indifferent Zhong Weidong was, the more it proved that he wanted more.
After taking a few deep breaths, Yan Chengguang decided not to think about it anymore. After all, what he had done had already been done, and Zhong Weidong was the person he wanted to win over and promote, so it wouldn't be a big deal to owe him a favor.
He rubbed his temple helplessly.
Yan Chengguang thought once again that if Yan Ji'an could have half the scheming of Zhong Weidong, or even half the political vision of Lu An, it would be much easier for him to train him.
Thinking of Lu An, Yan Chengguang couldn't help but recall the content of Zhong Weidong's report.
"He actually dared to use Yan Ji'an's power to help him negotiate?"
"He knew Yan Ji'an was looking for someone to back him up and scare him, but he dared to use it in return?"
"He set up a private paging station, and it's gaining momentum. If the Post and Telecommunications Bureau wasn't a public institution, would he be able to become the number one in Jianghuai?"
"Lu An... As expected of a little guy who can cause so many troubles, it's quite interesting..."
Yan Chengguang kept tapping the table, a smile on his face.
……
On the other side, Zhou Hailin returned to his original box.
If Lu An could follow Zhou Hailin here, he would definitely find that everyone here is an old acquaintance, including Ye Xianggao, director of the Third Supervisory Office, and Zhao Yuedong, director of the office.
Seeing Zhou Hailin coming back, Ye Xianggao and Zhao Yuedong immediately stood up and invited him in, and then asked him how things were going.
Zhou Hailin was deliberately angry at first, thinking that neither of them cared about him as the secretary.
Ye Xianggao and Zhao Yuedong rolled their eyes at the same time, telling him to stop talking nonsense.
Zhou Hailin slapped his thigh angrily, wondering how he could have two friends like them.
It was not until Ye Xianggao agreed to find a way to get him two taels of tea that Zhou Hailin smiled happily, repeatedly saying that Old Ye was too polite and that it was just a small favor.
Zhao Yuedong repeatedly scolded him for becoming more shameless after becoming the secretary.
Zhou Hailin got back to the point and told Ye Xianggao and Zhao Yuedong not to worry, as things were not going in a bad direction.
Zhou Hailin then gave Ye Xianggao and Zhao Yuedong a general account of what happened at the dinner.
Ye Xianggao and Zhao Yuedong stared blankly with their eyes open, feeling as if they were listening to a fairy tale.
"Hai Lin, you are not kidding us, are you? You said Lu An has made an appointment with someone else. Is he trying to use Yan Ji'an's influence to support him?"
"Lu An has set up a large and profitable private paging station, and today he wants to sell it."
"Secretary Zhao was very impressed by Lu An's initiative to sell the paging station, and he took the initiative to support him?"
Even though Zhou Hailin had just said this himself, Zhao Yuedong still had a look of distrust on his face.
Zhou Hailin did not answer directly, but said: "To be honest, I think Lu An is a very smart kid, and your worry about him is unnecessary."
In addition to Yan Chengguang's arrangements today, Ye Xianggao also had arrangements, especially when they heard that Yan Chengguang had actually greeted Zhou Hailin privately.
They instinctively thought there was a conspiracy.
So Ye Xianggao and Zhao Yuedong found Zhou Hailin together, and in order to avoid any uncontrollable situation, they followed him. However, they never expected that this would be the result.
My goodness! The Xinhuai Group wanted to scare him, Yan Ji'an wanted to scare him, Yan Chengguang wanted to plot against him behind his back, and even in the end, old Secretary Zhao hated him for running a business in secret.
Who knew that this kid was not afraid at all, but on the contrary took advantage of the situation to make himself the biggest winner.
It was indeed a waste of worry!
Ye Xianggao thought of another point: "Hai Lin, you were in the box at the time. Do you think that Secretary Zhao was sincere in protecting Lu An?"
If there was only one thing that still worried him, it was the fact that Zhao Guoyang had publicly protected Lu An at the end.
Although Zhao Guoyang was indeed upright and had a strong belief in party spirit, he was, after all, a former secretary. Even if he had not asked to stay, he would have had the opportunity to make further progress.
How many people who can reach that position are good people?
Just like Ye Xianggao, he is also upright to the outside world, but he also has the necessary skills and understands the ins and outs of officialdom.
After all, the officialdom is a Shura field full of ferocious beasts that eat people without leaving any bones, and a real little white rabbit cannot survive there.
Zhou Hailin thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head in giving up: "That's Secretary Zhao, Xiang Gao, you think too highly of me!"
Ye Xianggao thought about it for a moment and felt that this was indeed the case.
Zhou Hailin then told Ye Xianggao not to worry: "At least Secretary Zhao has made his position clear. The relationships within the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection are complicated. Secretary Yan will definitely not dare to act rashly for the time being."
It is true. You know, even this dinner party can involve so many lines. Who knows how complicated the context is behind Zhao Guoyang, an old secretary.
For a young man who has just started working, entering such a confusing situation alone is a shame, unless your head is stuck in the door.
It seems that we can rest assured for the time being.
Ye Xianggao nodded and raised his glass: "Anyway, I want to thank you, Hailin, for this time."
Zhou Hailin also raised his glass: "Just don't forget two taels of tea."
Ye Xianggao: Fuck you!
