Name: My father Yuan Mu

Half a month passed quickly, and just when Wen Huarong thought the matter was settled, a call came from Kyoto to his office.

"Comrade Huarong, what did you do? You actually recommended such a problematic person to the government!" A slightly complaining voice sounded on the phone.

Wen Huarong was completely confused at this time, and he hurried to explain.

"Minister Song, what is going on? I don't quite understand."

"There are big problems with Li Zhaomin. Okay, I won't tell you too much. It's impossible for the superiors to agree to Li Zhaomin's nomination. You should nominate a new candidate." After that, the phone was hung up.

Wen Huarong sat in the chair blankly, still holding the receiver in his hand, his mind still processing the matter. After about a few minutes, Wen Huarong figured it out. If he still couldn't figure it out, he would have to resign as the provincial party secretary.

There must be some dark past involving Li Zhaomin that was exposed to the government by someone with ulterior motives. Who was that person? Who least wanted Li Zhaomin to be in power?

Moreover, there seem to be only a few people who have the ability and courage to go against him, and the biggest suspect among them is the new member of the Standing Committee, Yuan Mu!

He knew a lot about Yuan Mu, and he also knew the background behind him. Although he was very powerful, the forces behind him were not just there to do nothing, so he was not afraid of the forces behind Yuan Mu. Now he was stabbed in the back!

Wen Huarong suddenly felt embarrassed. As a provincial party secretary, he was actually plotted against by his subordinates. He could not tolerate this in any way, so he called his secretary.

"Go! Call Yuan Mu and ask him to come to my office!"

The secretary naturally saw that Wen Huarong was very angry. He hesitated but still spoke.

"Secretary Wen, Secretary Yuan has gone to Kyoto."

"What!" Upon hearing this, Wen Huarong stood up from his chair with an angry look on his face.

"When did he leave?"

"Three days ago."

"Three days ago! Why didn't you tell me!" Wen Huarong roared at the secretary.

"Secretary Wen, you personally approved Secretary Yuan's request for leave. He applied for family leave." The secretary lowered his head and whispered.

Wen Huarong felt his mind was confused for a moment, and he remembered that Yuan Mu seemed to have really asked him for leave, and he had approved it. Of course he knew what Yuan Mu was doing in Kyoto, he must be going to get help!

But he soon calmed down. What's the use of asking for help? If you want to be appointed as a member of the Standing Committee and a vice governor, you need a nomination from the province. As long as the Provincial Standing Committee does not approve the nomination, Zhang Shaohuai will have no chance of taking office!

Thinking of this, Wen Huarong regained his usual calmness. He lit a cigarette and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Yuan Mu! You want Zhang Shaohuai to take the position? Dream on! Even if someone parachutes in, I won't let Zhang Shaohuai take the position!"

Wen Huarong guessed correctly. Yuan Mu was actively active in Kyoto at this time. He and Zhou Xiaobai had been married for so many years, and Zhou Zhennan had introduced almost all of his resources to him, many of whom were founding fathers and leaders in various fields.

He has been running around these days, not to plead for Zhang Shaohuai, because as long as the province nominates a candidate, as long as there is no problem, the Z Organization Department will agree. This time he came to the event mainly to ensure that Zhang Shaohuai's nomination can be passed at the Standing Committee meeting.

There are so many people on the Standing Committee, and although half of them have joined Wen Huarong, that is because Wen Huarong is the provincial party secretary. However, these standing committee members all have backers, otherwise they would not be where they are today. Do you really think it is so easy to become a member of the provincial party committee standing committee?

. . . . . . . .

Wen Huarong and Tian Hongyi sat together in a private room of a hotel.

"Uncle Wen, there won't be any unexpected changes this time, right? Zhang Shaohuai must not be allowed to enter the Standing Committee, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to both you and me." Tian Hongyi frowned.

"Hongyi, don't worry. I have absolute control over the Standing Committee. But you, do you want to change places? You can't develop if you stay in Luzhou. Yuan Mu's momentum is too strong. My idea is that you should avoid his edge first." Wen Huarong shook his head.

"Uncle Wen, are you kidding me? I'm avoiding him? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He was defeated by me back then, and now I'm just temporarily defeated. I'll get everything back when I regroup!" Tian Hongyi said as if he had been greatly insulted.

Wen Huarong shook his head helplessly. In fact, Tian Hongyi said he was his nephew, but they were not blood relatives, let alone cousins. It was just that the two families were closer. Now the two families were in an alliance, but this alliance was not unbreakable. Isn't there a saying that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests?

Now Yuan Mu is their unanimous enemy. Perhaps this is not accurate. It should be said that the Zhou family is their unanimous enemy. The head of the Zhou family is about to retire, but the old men of their respective families are not much better. They are also about to retire. When that time comes, they will have to move from the front stage to behind the scenes.

From now on, the clashes between families will depend on the younger generations like them. Wen Huarong is already 58 years old this year, and he will retire after two more terms at most. But Yuan Mu and Tian Hongyi are both young. Yuan Mu is not even 40, and Tian Hongyi is just in his early 40s, which is the prime of their lives.

Wen Huarong is actually not the second generation. To be precise, he should be the first generation, but he was born later. Yuan Mu and Tian Hongyi are both the second generation.

What's more, there is a Zhou Zhenjun next door to the Zhou family. He is already a provincial and ministerial official, no worse than Wen Huarong. The Zhou family's influence is spread across the military, political and business realms. Although their family is not bad either, it is still a little worse than the Zhou family, so this led to the two families joining forces.

Wen Huarong saw that Tian Hongyi was getting a little too excited, and as his current ally, he felt it necessary to persuade him. It was not a good choice to compete with Yuan Muzhengming, who was in the limelight. A roundabout approach was a better tactic.

"Hongyi, don't be impulsive. Don't worry about the gains and losses of this city or pond. You are still young. Perhaps you can go further after you jump out of this circle."

"Yuan Mu is the boss after all. As the second-in-command, you can't suppress him no matter what. Lüzhou has almost become his one-man show. You can't achieve much. If you want to catch up with him quickly, you can only leave Lüzhou and develop elsewhere."

Tian Hongyi lit a cigarette and lowered his head in thought for a moment. He understood what Wen Huarong meant, but he was really unwilling to leave like this. As long as he left, wouldn't it prove that he was afraid of Yuan Mu?
