However, he was also curious about the person who made the call. It was no ordinary person who could change Sha Ruijin's attitude with just one phone call.

The ensuing meeting was far less exciting than the initial one. Sha Ruijin simply read from the script and announced his next work priorities: anti-corruption.

The people present were already used to this, after all, the secretary had already let everyone know his intentions before he arrived in Handong.

Now everyone's attention is elsewhere; they're all thinking about who that person is.

After the meeting, everyone left the conference room with heavy hearts.

Li Dakang walked out of the conference room with light steps. Looking at Gao Yuliang not far away, he felt a little regretful. If it weren't for that phone call, Gao Yuliang would definitely not have the smile on his face now.

Although Gao Yuliang was very happy, his first thought was to find Qi Tongwei as soon as possible to find out who the person who ordered him to arrest Chen Qingquan was.

This person is no ordinary person; he was able to change Sha Ruijin's mind.

At that moment, an absurd idea popped into his mind.

Could it be someone from Zhao Lichun's side?

Thinking about it this way, everything seems to make sense.

You should know that Qi Tongwei is not the kind of person who listens to everyone.

In the entire Handong region, besides him, only Zhao Ruilong could give orders to Qi Tongwei.

But what if Zhao Ruilong ordered him to take action?

The moment Chen Qingquan was arrested, all the consequences were already prepared.

Then naturally they have nothing to fear.

Moreover, the timing was impeccable, precisely during a meeting. If it had been Zhao Lichun calling—no, it shouldn't have been—Sha Ruijin wouldn't have reacted that way.

Then it could only be someone under Zhao Lichun's command.

That makes sense; his men called Sha Ruijin, so Sha Ruijin's attitude was correct.

If things are really as he thinks, then things will get interesting.

Sha Ruijin is Zhao Lichun's man. From now on, won't Handong be Zhao's territory?

As a direct descendant of the Zhao family, wouldn't he have the potential to advance even further?

Thinking of this, Gao Yuliang's previously extinguished heart was once again filled with a raging fire.

This is a great opportunity! I hope everything goes as I expect.

It seems it's time to have a talk with Qi Tongwei.

Then, Gao Yuliang's steps became lighter.

His blood boiled only subsided when he got home.

Sitting on the sofa, I silently pondered Sha Ruijin's every move today.

If it really is as he thinks, then Sha Ruijingang's criticism of him is actually a warning from the Zhao family.

He was warned to work for the Zhao family.

The matter of praising Zhao Donglai is worth considering.

Perhaps this was a compromise by Sha Ruijin?

After all, he had just arrived in Handong and still needed to rely on his subordinates to get things done.

If you want people to do things, how can you expect them to do so without offering them a little something in return?

Yes, that's it. Gao Yuliang clapped his hands lightly and sighed at Sha Ruijin's actions.

As expected of Secretary Sha.

Later, Sha Ruijin wanted to criticize Qi Tongwei, perhaps thinking that he could distance himself from their relationship and observe the officialdom of Handong Province from the sidelines.

Perhaps it was all planned; otherwise, the phone call wouldn't have come at such a convenient moment, just before Qi Tongwei was about to be criticized.

It seems that all of this was just an act put on by Sha Ruijin in front of everyone.

From now on, we just need to keep it to ourselves.

Having figured everything out, Gao Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief and became even happier.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and dialed Qi Tongwei.

At this moment, Qi Tongwei was in a state of complex emotions. He arrested Chen Qingquan, severed ties with Gao Xiaoqin, and turned against Zhao Ruilong.

But all they got in return was a single sentence from Huang Feipeng.

He didn't know if Huang Feipeng was as powerful as he thought.

If Zhao Ruilong comes to Handong and causes him trouble, can he withstand it?

Qi Tongwei was both angry and regretful at this moment. He was angry that he hadn't thought more carefully and left some room for maneuver when he spoke.

What I regret is that I was intimidated by Huang Feipeng and believed whatever he said.

Just as he was feeling down, the phone rang. Irritated, he answered it casually and said irritably.

"Say something quickly."

Gao Yuliang's voice came through.

"Tongwei, what's wrong? Who upset you again?"

Qi Tongwei's anger vanished instantly, replaced by fear.

"Teacher, it's nothing, it's just... sigh..."

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

“I know you had no choice but to arrest Chen Qingquan, but there’s no need to be so discouraged. The person who asked you to arrest Chen Qingquan has a backup plan, and it won’t involve you.”

The person Gao Yuliang was referring to was naturally Zhao Ruilong. After all, their interests were deeply intertwined, and he believed that Zhao Ruilong would not do such a foolish thing.

Qi Tongwei's eyes lit up when he heard this. Yes, Huang Feipeng asked him to arrest Chen Qingquan. Could he have a backup plan?

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei felt much better.

"Yes, I understand, teacher."

Gao Yuliang nodded in satisfaction. It seems they still listened to me. That's the right thing to do.

Gao Yuliang was in a great mood and said with a smile.

"Do you have time today? Come to my house for dinner. Your teacher's wife has prepared a lot of your favorite dishes. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've eaten together."

Qi Tongwei was slightly taken aback, but nodded.

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit. I need to have a taste. Speaking of which, I've been craving my master's wife's cooking."

Gao Yuliang smiled and nodded when he heard this.

"Okay, then come quickly, I have some good news waiting for you."

Qi Tongwei hung up the phone, his mind heavy with worry and anxiety.

Even though they called it a surprise, what if it is?

However, since I've already agreed, I have to go and take a look.

At the same time, a convoy of vehicles slowly drove up to the gate of Dafeng Factory.

Since Hou Liangping's last inspection of Dafeng Factory, Huang Dinghai has sent a large number of people to follow Huang Feipeng and ensure his safety.

There was no other way; the project Huang Feipeng was currently involved in was extremely important.

It's not okay to do it without some protective measures.

The people from Dafeng Factory also poured out at this moment, and exclaimed in surprise as they watched the slowly approaching vehicle.

"Is this the chairman's uncle? He's really rich."

"Nonsense, if we didn't have money, would our Dafeng Factory have survived?"

"That's right. Old Cai is really something. If he had known he had such a rich relative, he wouldn't have needed to borrow money from Shanshui Manor in the first place."

"Hmph, knowing full well that Shanshui Manor is a trap, he still jumped in. If it weren't for his uncle, I'd like to see how he would explain himself to us."

"Alright, alright, it's all in the past now. Now let's hope that Uncle Cai Chenggong can resolve the factory's problems."
