Qi Tongwei is a shrewd and calculating person, while Hou Liangping is a dedicated and devoted person

Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Chen Yanshi’s office.

"Uncle Chen, what do you think about Zhao Lichun's matter?"

"Tongwei, this is also the question I want to ask you," said Chen Yanshi.

"No matter how you look at it, I have always believed that Zhao Lichun's punishment was too lenient. Fifty thousand yuan in cash, plus a bunch of gifts, this is enough to be sentenced, but he only gave a serious warning. Don't you think it's too lenient?"

"Uncle Chen, you're not asking me what I think of Zhao Lichun, you're asking me what I think of Secretary Shen?"

"Uncle Chen is not beating around the bush with you. What Shen Guodong did was wrong. Even in front of him, I still have this attitude!"

Qi Tongwei smiled knowingly.

This was the answer he wanted.

It seems that this time Zhao Lichun has touched Chen Yanshi's reverse scale.

His determination to bring down Zhao Lichun is unshakable.

This is easy to deal with. After all, what happened in the Food City is definitely not a trivial matter.

All related investment and development of this project must go through Chen Yanshi's hands.

When the time comes, I will remind myself.

Chen Yanshi will definitely try his best to find the loopholes in the Food City.

By then, even Shen Guodong no longer wants to make it big.

It is also difficult to control the situation.

If at that time, Hou Liangping, who was in the Discipline Inspection Commission, found some evidence.

Then connect it with Chen Yanshi's attitude.

All evidence of Zhao Lichun’s crime will be confirmed.

But judging from Zhao Lichun's performance.

We cannot rule out the possibility that the desperate man will put all the blame on Zhao Ruilong.

Because he knew that Zhao Lichun would not be that stupid.

The second time, the method of severing ties was used.

Although it caused Shen Guodong's disgust.

But this can also be considered a life-saving measure at critical moments.

Even the legal effect is questionable.

But it allowed Shen Guodong to take advantage of the situation and let Zhao Lichun off easily.

No matter what Zhao Lichun chooses.

Zhao Ruilong is definitely useless.

Under this situation, we can only investigate as much as possible on Zhao Lichun.

Even if Zhao Lichun was not sent to prison, the Zhao family would be seriously damaged.

It will be much easier to find another opportunity.

After all, Zhao Lichun has a lot of things going on.

A key role now is Ji Changming.

It depends on whether he can withstand the pressure from Zhao Lichun.

This largely determines the direction of events.

If Ji Changming approved the food city project, the evidence against the Zhao family would be complete.

But it will result in more people participating.

There is an old saying that the law cannot be blamed for everyone.

Things are actually difficult to investigate.

If it had not been approved, the evidence of the Zhao family’s guilt would not be so solid.

After all, the fact that it caused serious consequences and impacts is enough to give a lenient punishment.

But then things become easier.

This will make it much easier for Shen Guodong to handle the situation.

Qi Tongwei knew that given Ji Changming's personality, he would most likely choose to report to his superiors.

This is a contradiction.

Be sure to contact Ji Changming.

Try to find a compromise.

Sure enough, after a few days.

Ji Changming found Chen Yanshi with a thick stack of materials.

Of course, Chen Yanshi also called Qi Tongwei to join the consultation.

"Director Yanshi, the matter of the Food City is of great importance, so I still want you to take charge of it!" Ji Changming said modestly.

"Secretary Changming, you are the top leader of Luzhou. You can make the final decision on this matter, right? Besides, shouldn't you report to the Construction Committee?" Chen Yanshi tested Ji Changming according to the lines that Qi Tongwei had taught him before.

"Director Yanshi, the initial construction of the Food City alone costs 300 million yuan. Of course you have to supervise a project of this size," Ji Changming continued to keep a low profile.

"Haven't you all gone through the preliminary preparation?" Chen Yanshi continued to beat around the bush.

"Yes, yes, but this was the decision made by the previous team. But after I took over, didn't we issue a document on environmental protection? So I still have to report to you."

"We just need to implement it according to the document!"

Ji Changming sensed Chen Yanshi's intention.

This is not a deliberate attempt to pass on the blame.

Given Chen Yanshi's personality, he would definitely get involved in such matters as long as they were even remotely related to people's livelihood.

But today I suddenly want to hide.

There must be an ulterior motive.

This shows that he is testing himself.

Ji Changming now needs to change his strategy.

I can't talk to Chen Yanshi in this way anymore.

If this goes on, I will get nothing.

"Director Yanshi, what you said is right. The requirements in the document are very specific. However, in addition to environmental issues, there is another matter that I must report to you. It involves major financial risks. Is this within the scope of your jurisdiction?" Ji Changming asked.

Chen Yanshi was stunned when he heard these words.

This is not the line designed by Qi Tongwei.

He looked at Qi Tongwei out of habit.

Son-in-law, come and save the situation!

"Secretary Changming, can you be more specific?" Qi Tongwei took over the conversation.

"Tongwei, you are a smart person. You can understand a lot of things as soon as you hear them. In a nutshell, Zhao Ruilong has sold the Food City, and those who want to buy shops have given their money to Zhao Ruilong. This should be illegal fundraising, right?"

"Wrong! It's a fundraising fraud!" Qi Tongwei blurted out.

"Fraud?"

"Yes! Fraud!"

"If the food city thing succeeds, it may be considered illegal fundraising, but if it fails, it will be fundraising fraud, because there is no such thing as a food city!"

Ji Changming came from the procuratorate, so of course he understood these legal issues.

So Qi Tongwei naturally knew it.

Ji Changming is not here to report risks.

I am here to report my attitude.

He didn't want the food city to succeed at all.

Because he saw the risks of this matter early on.

From the release of the implementation opinions on strengthening environmental protection, Ji Changming felt that there was something wrong.

So they were testing each other from the beginning.

Of course, Chen Yanshi was too tight-lipped and said almost nothing.

So I can only speak for myself first.

This basically meets Qi Tongwei's expectations.

Ji Changming himself definitely doesn't want to get involved.

Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility that Zhao Lichun has already contacted Ji Changming.

But he knew that if he didn't participate, he would offend Zhao Lichun.

Come and report to Chen Yanshi.

This is undoubtedly an act of taking sides.

Even Chen Yanshi didn't object.

This is also difficult to pass in Ji Changming's Food City.

"Secretary Changming, has Zhao Lichun come to see you?" Qi Tongwei asked directly.

Ji Changming's body trembled slightly.

He was obviously confused by this question.

This is indeed the pressure I face.

But Qi Tongwei is too awesome.

How can I infer that Zhao Lichun has already contacted me?

"Secretary Changming, if Zhao Lichun hadn't approached you, why did you come here? You could have refused this matter yourself, right?"

This sentence hit Ji Changming's soft spot.

Indeed, Zhao Lichun has been looking for him several times in the past few days because of this matter.

I didn't even dare to answer.

It was only after seeing Zhao Lichun being punished that he mustered the courage to join Chen Yanshi.

Now that everything has been seen through, just be clear.

"Tongwei, you are right. Zhao Lichun has come to me many times and asked many people to say hello to me. Tonight, he even specially arranged a dinner party for me. There are former colleagues from the Procuratorate and leaders of the Construction Committee."

"Do you agree?" Qi Tongwei asked.

"There's no other way. I've asked you several times, but I can turn it down!" Ji Changming said firmly.

"No! I have to go! I have to go!"

Qi Tongwei has a new idea.
