The country entrusted me to buy an aircraft carrier, Hou Liangping, do you dare to investigate?

Gao Yuliang sighed, then said calmly.

"I was wondering the same thing when Zhao Ruilong called me just now, but you should deal with any illegal or disorderly conduct as it is."

"But we should let go of some minor details; the current situation can't withstand any major storms."

Qi Tongwei sighed silently upon hearing Gao Yuliang's words.

“Teacher, I’m afraid this is not a trivial matter. This matter cannot be left unresolved. By the way, teacher, I have also withdrawn my shares in Shanshui Manor.”

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang was taken aback. This was the first time Qi Tongwei had rejected him so directly.

But the next moment, his brows furrowed even more. Although he had mentioned the shares of Shanshui Manor to Qi Tongwei before, he did not expect him to actually do it.

So he said with a smile.

"Okay, it seems you've taken my words to heart. At this stage, the most important thing for you is to stay calm, do your job well, and not think about other things."

"However, I must remind you of something: it's not worth losing someone's face over a small matter."

"Tongwei, you should really think this over carefully."

Qi Tongwei fell silent upon hearing this, but did not speak.

Upon receiving news of Qi Tongwei, Gao Yuliang sighed and gently hung up the phone.

Looking at the scattered stars outside, Gao Yuliang's mind was in complete chaos. Qi Tongwei's actions were making the already chaotic situation even more complicated.

Has he suddenly come to his senses? Is he going to listen to me?

It's possible, but unlikely.

Based on his understanding of Qi Tongwei, he couldn't possibly do such a thing.

You should know that Chen Qingquan knows quite a bit about him. If Chen Qingquan lets something slip, Qi Tongwei will also be implicated.

So, the fact that he made such a decision means that the potential benefits far outweighed the risks.

Did he manage to curry favor with Sha Ruijin?

This is the only possibility.

That's not right either. From their last meeting, Sha Ruijin clearly showed that he didn't like Qi Tongwei.

If Sha Ruijin were so easy to curry favor with, he would have already gathered a large number of people, and there would be no need for Qi Tongwei.

Then there's only one possibility: Qi Tongwei wanted to use this as a pledge of loyalty to curry favor with Sha Ruijin.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuliang sighed. Does Qi Tongwei have no brains?

You're just flirting with a blind man; it'll only backfire.

……

On the other side, Qi Tongwei let out a sigh of relief. This was perhaps the best outcome. With a sigh, Qi Tongwei called Huang Feipeng.

"Hey, Master, Chen Qingquan has been arrested. I've followed your instructions and severed ties with Gao Xiaoqin, but..."

Huang Feipeng smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"Is that so? Very well, it seems you've taken my words to heart."

"Just what? Speak your mind. What kind of talk is this, hesitating like this?"

Qi Tongwei sighed and said respectfully.

"Yes, Zhao Ruilong just called. I've really offended him this time. Master, you have to save me. You're the only person I can rely on right now."

Upon hearing this, Huang Feipeng's lips curled into a smile.

"Don't worry, it's just Zhao Ruilong. With me here, he can't touch you."

"Alright, just focus on your business. I have something to do, so I'll hang up now."

Huang Feipeng hung up the phone and shook his head slightly. It seemed it was time to call Sha Ruijin, otherwise, some people might not be able to stay calm.

However, Huang Feipeng glanced at the time and dismissed the idea, deciding to wait until tomorrow.

That night, the situation in Handong Province became increasingly turbulent, and those with ulterior motives pondered the key to it repeatedly. After all, in the coming period, if one did not choose the right side, there was always the possibility of being purged.

The next day, early in the morning.

The leadership of Handong Province was notified that the newly appointed provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin, would be holding his first meeting.

Upon receiving this news, everyone dared not be careless and hurried to the provincial party committee compound.

This is the first meeting, and what is expressed here contains certain attitudes of the newcomer, so it should be taken seriously.

Everyone gathered in the office, their expressions serious as they stared at the seat not far away.

The seats were empty at the moment.

The next moment, the conference room door was pushed open, and Sha Ruijin walked in with a big smile on his face.

Everyone present stood up.

Sha Ruijin walked to his seat, sat down, and then gently waved his hand.

"Please sit down, please sit down. This is our first meeting. I have heard a lot about all of you here."

The people present tensed up; was this a warning to them?

Should we still conduct a thorough investigation?

It seems this new leader is going to make a big splash.

The group exchanged glances, silently lowered their heads, and listened attentively to Sha Ruijin's words.

Sha Ruijin looked at the actions of the crowd below and smiled faintly.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. This is just the first meeting, and I'm hoping to get to know everyone properly."

"Only then can we cooperate well and advance the work."

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang immediately burst into laughter.

"You are the leader. With your arrival, we have a backbone. We believe that under your leadership, Handong Province will definitely get better and better."

Gao Yuliang scoffed when he saw Li Dakang's statement; only he could do something like that.

Looking at the two men's different reactions, Sha Ruijin made a decision in his mind, and then smiled faintly.

"I originally planned to catch up with everyone, but things didn't go as planned. A lot of things have happened in Jingzhou these past few days."

Upon hearing this, the crowd below also became serious, it seemed that the important part was about to begin.

Everyone stared intently at Sha Ruijin, not missing a single expression.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Sha Ruijin spoke calmly.

"Everyone knows about what happened at Dafeng Factory, right? Some of our staff members have serious problems with their methods. They abused their power and clashed with the workers, almost causing a bloody conflict."

Upon hearing this, the crowd below also became serious, and many of them secretly glanced at Gao Yuliang's expression, knowing that this court was under Gao Yuliang's jurisdiction.

Does Sha Ruijin mean to criticize Gao Yuliang by saying this?

However, the next moment, Sha Ruijin said calmly.

"We should be vigilant, and the relevant personnel should be thoroughly investigated. Such a thing must never happen again."

“Secretary Yuliang, the court is within your jurisdiction, so I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Gao Yuliang nodded calmly.

"Understood, Secretary Sha."

Although Gao Yuliang appeared calm, his heart was in turmoil.
