Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Wei Nong waited for Sun Liancheng to return before learning the whole story.

"Is this person from Lvteng City?" Wei Nong quickly noticed something suspicious and asked Sun Liancheng.

“That’s right, this person comes from an ordinary rural family in the suburbs of Green Vine City. He has parents, wife, and a five-year-old son!” Sun Liancheng said.

The information that followed came from Sun Liancheng making a special phone call to Green Vine City. Although he was just an official in Handong, it was still easy for him to ask for help in finding out about someone. That's why Sun Liancheng returned a little later.

“Green Vine City, haha, I know who it is without even having to guess!” Wei Nong said with a smile.

"Secretary, you guessed it?" Sun Liancheng asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, he's an old buddy. This matter is also related to the top official in our province," Wei Nong said with a smile.

"Is he Secretary Zhao Lichun's younger brother?" Sun Liancheng asked curiously.

"Oh? You know all this?" Wei Nong asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, some well-informed people have been spreading rumors about you and Zhao Lichun’s younger brother, Zhao Lidong, before. And because of that incident, Secretary Zhao even suffered a loss. Could this Zhao Lidong be the mastermind behind this incident?” Sun Liancheng said.

"Haha, Little Sun, you're really something! You even know about this kind of news! Although there's no concrete evidence yet, Zhao Lidong is working in Green Vine City, and he's even the district head!" Wei Nong knew exactly how well Zhao Lidong lived in Green Vine City.

When Zhao Lidong left Jinghai, Wei Nong got a team of people from his elder sister Wei Hong to monitor Zhao Lidong.

Although Zhao Lichun agreed to put the conflict between the two families aside at the time, he did not trust Zhao Lidong's character. He thought Zhao Lidong was petty, selfish, and might cause trouble again someday.

Therefore, Wei Nong had heard about some of Zhao Lidong's activities in Lvteng City over the years, including his numerous acts of embezzlement and bribery.

However, this time the team did not report the incident, which means either the matter was not handled by Zhao Lidong, or the team was negligent.

However, Wei Nong felt that this matter was probably not done by Zhao Lidong himself, but rather indirectly through someone else. And that person was very likely Gao Mingyuan, a new friend Zhao Lidong had made in Green Vine City.

According to Wei Nong's investigation, Gao Mingyuan has several protectors behind him, and Zhao Lidong is just one of them.

However, since the two had not taken any action against him before, Wei Nong did not bother with their mess.

But now that they dare to reach out to their own projects, Wei Nong doesn't need to be polite anymore.

"Alright, Xiao Sun, that's enough for today. You should go home too! I'm packing up some things and heading home as well!" Wei Nong said with a smile.

"Okay, Secretary!" Sun Liancheng knew that the secretary had some personal business to attend to, so he sensibly went home first.

After Sun Liancheng left, Wei Nong immediately called the people in Lvteng City.

"Has there been any unusual activity with Zhao Lidong, whom you've been monitoring recently?" Wei Nong asked.

"Young Master, Zhao Lidong shows no abnormalities, and the listening devices we installed in his house haven't received any useful information." A hoarse voice came from the satellite phone.

"What about Gao Mingyuan? Has he shown any unusual behavior?" Wei Nong asked.

"No, we just heard that it's the same every day, except that Gao Mingyuan brought a child from somewhere and claims he's his son," the person on the other end said.

"I'm going to XX village to investigate a man named Wang Hui and see if he has any connection with Gao Mingyuan. Call me after you find out!" Wei Nong said.

"Yes, young master, I'll go right away!" came the reply from the other side.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Nong rubbed his temples, thinking that Zhao Lidong was really petty, making such a fuss over such a small matter for so long!

You can tell from Zhao Lidong's personality that the Zhao family is not a kind family!

However, Wei Nong really didn't have any good way to deal with Zhao Lidong. He couldn't just kill him to vent his anger, could he?

Besides this, there's only one other way: reporting him is a good option. Since you, Zhao Lidong, are playing dirty tricks, why don't you play your own tricks? You always think you can mess with me.

The news of the accident at the construction site spread throughout the officialdom of Jingzhou the next day.

Everyone felt that the person who made the move was somewhat out of touch with reality.

The complex is related to the interests and achievements of a large part of the people in Jingzhou and even Handong Province. Who has the guts to do this?

Soon, news spread from who-knows-where that the injured person was likely trying to commit suicide and that he was from Green Vine City.

Meanwhile, Zhao Lidong, far away in Green Vine City, also found himself in trouble.

Someone delivered a huge pile of whistleblower materials to the desks of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government!

Now, let alone Zhao Lidong, a mere community head, even the mayor would need to be investigated to make sense.

Although Zhao Lidong's second brother, Zhao Ligen, holds a position in Zhongjiang Province, his power is not significant, and Zhao Ligen is also very disappointed in Zhao Lidong.

He had a conflict with Zhao Weinong before, and spread rumors about him and tripped him up, which already made Zhao Ligen very disgusted. Now that it has come to Lvteng City, he still can't stop.

Clearly, Zhao Ligen knew that this report against Zhao Lidong was 100% the result of retaliation from the other side. As for why? Of course, it was because Zhao Lichun had already called him.

"The matter of Lidong is definitely not over yet. Since he dared to send people all the way to Handong to cause trouble, no one can say anything if he retaliates! If you can help, then help; if you can't, then let him fend for himself! Maybe letting him go into business would be better than what he is now!"

Recalling the tone of his older brother's voice when he called, Zhao Ligen wanted to rush to Zhao Lidong's side right now and give him a good scolding!

Unfortunately, Zhao Lidong has already been summoned for questioning by the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Zhao Ligen can only keep his thoughts to himself.

As for Zhao Lichun, when he heard that the deceased in the accident came from Lvteng City, he knew that his fourth brother was up to his old tricks again, so he called his second brother Zhao Ligen and told him not to worry about that troublemaker.

The first thing Zhao Lichun needs to do now is to clear himself of any involvement in this incident.

Although many people did not know anything special about the deceased being from Lvteng City, there were quite a few who understood, and soon some people realized that this matter was likely related to Zhao Lidong, who had previously had a grudge against Secretary Wei Nong.

If everyone finds out, how will people view Zhao Lichun? Will some people think that Zhao Lichun was also involved in this?

If that happens, even if his subordinates don't cause a major upheaval, they'll still harbor resentment, and such a team will be difficult to manage! Zhao Lichun has to be wary!

"Secretary, was it really Zhao Lidong who did this?" Gao Qiqiang was hosting a dinner party at his home in Jingzhou City.

Of course, the only participants were Wei Nong, Sun Liancheng, Gao Qiqiang, the Tang brothers, and Gao Jin.

As for Bao Zong? He has already gone to Beiping with Wen Huixin to discuss the land in Wei Qing's hands with Dai Qian.

“Whether Zhao Lidong did it or not doesn’t matter. As long as this person comes from Lvteng City, even if he didn’t do it, people will still think he did it! Especially after my conflict with him spread in the Jingzhou officialdom, everyone thinks so even more.” Wei Nong took a bite of food and said with a smile.

"Secretary, should we get revenge on him? This is infuriating! I heard from Green Vine City that the man who died was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer! He already had less than a year left to live. And now he's made a fortune off of us!" Tang Xiaolong said, his face full of resentment.

“A person dies, no matter how they died. It happened on our construction site, so it’s only right that we pay some compensation. As long as the problem is solved, that’s fine. It’s just a small amount of money. Think long-term!” Wei Nong said.

"Gao Jin, see if you can transfer some professional security personnel from Mingzhu to work for Xiao Gao's company. This construction site is your top priority, and you must prevent anyone from sabotaging it! It's safer to use your own people!" Wei Nong turned to Gao Jin and said.

“I understand, sir!” Gao Jin understood Wei Nong’s meaning: selecting some elite personnel to work in the mainland would solve some problems and at least deter those with ulterior motives.

“We must learn from this incident, Xiao Gao. We need to strengthen the management of the construction site and not let it go unchecked!” Wei Nong said.

"Secretary, don't worry, we will definitely strengthen management!" Gao Qiqiang said.

While everyone was clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, back at Zhao Lichun's house, no one had any appetite, simply because a middle-aged man with an unpleasant expression was sitting at the table.

"Brother, I didn't want this either! Who would have thought Gao Mingyuan's men would be so stupid? They actually called the police before anything even happened!" Zhao Lidong said with a bitter expression.

As for why he was here, it was because Zhao Ligen vouched for him.

In addition, Zhao Lidong's activities were relatively secretive, and those who were caught were only involved in small amounts of money. So, Gen and Zhao Lichun found someone and brought Zhao Lidong back.

"Tomorrow you'll go to the company with Ruilong to learn how to run a company! Don't go to Green Vine City either, I've had Ligen arrange for you to take a leave of absence without pay!" Zhao Lichun pointed at Zhao Lidong's nose and said loudly.

"Brother, I was a district head! And I was just dismissed like that?" Zhao Lidong asked, his face flushed.

"Don't even mention you being just a neighborhood head. Even if you were a deputy mayor or a city official, you'd all have to get out of the car! Forget about it. You'd better learn how to do business from Ruilong from now on!" Zhao Lichun said helplessly.

"I'm not reconciled! Why should I?" Zhao Lidong said, feeling wronged.
