I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

"What? Zhang Lichun has been taken away for investigation?"

"hiss……"

"Did I hear it wrong?"

"No wonder they didn't attend the meeting this morning; it turns out they were all taken away for investigation last night."

"Is it an investigation team from the province?"

"My God, what's going on?"

"I do not know!"

The fact that Zhang Lichun was taken away for investigation shocked the entire city of Liuhai.

Whether inside or outside the industry.

"Rumor has it that Zhang Lichun's wife, Le Yingying, had an affair with a fitness coach who is a gambler. He threatened Le Yingying to give him money or he would expose their relationship. So Le Yingying gave the fitness coach a sum of money to keep quiet, and then the trouble started."

"My God, this is amazing?"

"It is said that this Yue Yingying is more than ten years younger than Zhang Lichun."

"Tsk tsk tsk, an old man and a young woman, it really doesn't work."

"That's true. How can an engine that's been running for decades still be driven on the road?"

"No, what you're saying sounds like you're making a suggestive joke, but I have no proof!"

"Wait a minute, I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"

"It's rumored, and this is the truth, that Zhang Lichun has received a considerable amount of money—reportedly 1.9 million yuan in cash!"

"what?"

"Fuck!"

"Actually, it's not that much."

"That's right. Others have hundreds of millions or even billions. His amount is nothing, but it's still a lot. This time, it will probably take at least twelve years."

"Of course!"

"He should be able to return most of the money within twelve years."

Just as this matter was being hotly discussed both inside and outside Liuhai City, the provincial authorities...

When Feng Shangru saw the news that Zhang Lichun had been taken away for investigation, and that it had been discovered that the other party had hidden 1.9 million yuan in cash, as well as gold bars and antiques worth tens of millions of yuan, he knew that his junior was completely finished.

It's completely hopeless!

"Oh shit!"

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!" A hint of anger appeared on Feng Shangru's face.

Zhang Lichun has been taken away for investigation; he's definitely in jail, no doubt about it.

But the vacant position is different.

Who will take on this role?

If he wants to make arrangements for his own people, Fang Yu probably won't agree so easily.

The other party definitely wants to make arrangements for their own people!

the other side.

Fang Yu was actually thinking about this problem too!

……

night.

Zhuo Wen, the full-time deputy secretary, visited Yang Wen at his home.

"You're here, why bring any gifts!" Yang Wen said with a laugh when he saw that the other party was carrying several boxes of tea and fruit.

"When we come here for tea, we can't just leave without any tea leaves, can we?" Zhuo Wen said with a smile.

"Come in."

In the study room.

The two drank tea and chatted.

Yang Wen knew very well what Zhuo Wen's thoughts and purpose were in visiting tonight.

"Secretary Yang, Zhang Lichun has been taken away for investigation and there's a high probability he won't be released. I wonder who will replace him in his position? Has the province made any statement yet?" Zhuo Wen asked Yang Wen anxiously.

"Zhang Lichun is definitely not coming out. His position is very important, so it can't be vacant for too long."

"There's been no word from the provincial authorities yet!"

“But I can recommend you to the provincial authorities later,” Yang Wen said with a smile.

During his time working with Zhuo Wen, he had a rather high opinion of the man.

First, outstanding work ability.

Secondly, I don't recall ever hearing anything about this person in my previous life.

Third, Zhuo Wen was also promoted to this position by Yang Hongqing back then, so both of them belong to Yang Hongqing's people.

However, Yang Wen was valued more by Yang Hongqing.

Zhuo Wen was probably only regarded as ordinary by Yang Hongqing.

After he returns to the capital and takes up his post, he probably won't value Zhuo Wen much anymore.

But no matter what, we were always on the same side before.

He would naturally be very happy if the other party could take over Zhang Lichun's position!

It's better than having another stranger come, right?

What if it turns out to be one of Feng Shangru's men?

Upon hearing Yang Wen's words, Zhuo Wen was overjoyed!

He hadn't expected Yang Wen to recommend him so readily!

He originally wanted to say some nice things and plead with Yang Wen properly.

I didn't expect Yang Wen to be so straightforward!

They did not let him down, as he had been wholeheartedly supporting the other party and doing his job well during this period.

"Secretary Yang, thank you so much! I will never forget your support," Zhuo Wen said sincerely.

“We’re all brothers, and we’ve all received guidance and support from Secretary Yang. We should all work together more as fellow members,” Yang Wen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, you're right! We should help each other more and work together as one," Zhuo Wen said with a smile.

"However, my recommendation is just a recommendation. Ultimately, whether you get this position depends on the provincial leaders' decision. This is very important, and I believe you are aware of that."

"My recommendation is just to give you a chance to shine. Whether it works out after that is not up to me; it is up to the people in the province to decide," Yang Wen said earnestly.

"I know!"

"But you've already been very kind of you to give me this opportunity," Zhuo Wen understood.

He knew very well that it ultimately depended on the provincial leaders.

But now he also knows that Feng Shangru is targeting him and Yang Wen.

He probably won't have a high probability of getting it by then.

But he wouldn't be willing to give up without trying, would he?

"When you have time, go and visit Fang Yu! Also, if possible, it would be best to contact our old leader, Yang Hongqing! If he can help you, things might take a turn for the better!" Yang Wen pointed out another way for Zhuo Wen.

He couldn't possibly use those two connections for Zhuo Wen's sake.

If Zhuo Wen wants to leave, then he has to leave on his own.

After all, Yang Wen didn't know what Zhuo Wen meant to Yang Hongqing.

It's not a good idea to rashly ask for help yourself.

Secondly, he didn't know whether Fang Yu recognized Zhuo Wen or not. If Fang Yu didn't, it would be counterproductive for him to take the initiative to ask for his approval!

This even aroused Fang Yu's suspicion!

"Understood! Thank you for reminding me, Secretary Yang!" Zhuo Wen nodded and thanked him.

“We don’t need to address each other by our official titles in private; we can just call each other brothers!” Yang Wen said with a smile.

"Alright, alright! Then I'll gladly accept your offer." Zhuo Wen chuckled.

They chatted for a while longer before the other said goodbye.

……

at this time.

Many people outside the public already knew that Zhang Lichun was finished.

at the same time.

Many people who have their eyes on this position have started to get their hands dirty.

They each used their own unique abilities.

They tried every possible way to get around it.

Even Meng Xiaojun and Huang Qiuli made a special trip to visit Yang Wen.

However, given their positions, they have virtually no chance.

So Yang Wen just gave him polite responses.
