Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Yang Jianguo was displeased, but on the surface he remained calm and discussed the scenery along the way with the other party.

"The changes in the capital in recent years have been rapid and dramatic, far surpassing those in Handong."

"The capital city has its advantages, and Handong has its own unique characteristics." Yang Jianguo paused, then praised, "Secretary Zhao has cultivated Handong for many years, which has led to the current situation in Handong. His contribution is indispensable!"

"Hahaha~"

Hearing the other party mention his hard work, Zhao Lichun felt gratified, and he gently let go of the previous minor unpleasantness.

Just consider it a favor to Minister Yang, since he's just a driver.

This person is quite sensible.

Before coming here, I heard a lot of rumors about him, saying that he was autocratic, hypocritical, didn't know how to unite his comrades, and lacked respect for other comrades.

It now seems that the rumors were indeed unreliable.

Isn't this great!

Amidst laughter and conversation, the car arrived at the inner city gate. As usual, it underwent a check. Before being allowed to pass, the captain suddenly said, "Vice-General Zhao, your resting place has been arranged. Please move to that car, and our people will take you there."

"Minister Yang, the elder urgently needs your assistance; the situation is urgent."

"understood."

The two exchanged a glance and parted ways in front of the inner city gate. The moment the car started moving again, Yang Jianguo was finally free from the pretense.

"This person is really annoying."

Upon hearing his boss's honest complaint, Xiao Li's lips curled up slightly, and he focused on driving to the designated location.

Park the car and watch the leader leave.

He opened the trunk, took out cleaning tools, and wiped every part of the car's interior.

Then, a colorless and odorless cleaning and brightening agent was carefully applied to the seats and footrests.

Only after there was no smell inside the car did Xiao Li close the car door and walk around the front of the car to stretch his muscles.

Based on past experience, the leader probably won't stay long.

Sure enough, after he had done a set of radio calisthenics, he saw the leader emerge from the arched bridge.

I opened the door to warm up the car, then looked inside and out again, checking the four wheels and the undercarriage.

This habit was instilled in him by Lao Li: no matter when or whether he is near the car, he must check all four wheels and the underside of the car before leaving.

Yang Jianguo arrived as well, saying, "Leader."

"Go to the ministry."

Seeing that the leader's expression was normal and there was nothing unusual, Xiao Li's mood also improved.

Peace is good; peaceful days are so comfortable.

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology

Yang Jianguo went straight to the archives. As soon as he entered, he saw the guard reading a book titled "One Night Angel".

Judging from the cover, it's probably not a serious book.

Sure enough, when he saw someone coming to guard him, he almost jumped up and threw the book away.

Upon recognizing Yang Jianguo, she was utterly devastated, "Minister Yang, I..."

"I'll look for information, you go about your business."

Yang Jianguo interrupted the other party and moved forward to the fourth group, the third column, the fifth row, the eighth from the right.

"Ok?"

Yang Jianguo frowned when he didn't find the information he wanted.

It shouldn’t be!

Based on his memory, it's absolutely impossible for him to have misremembered the location.

The materials here are also prohibited from being lent out.

Could it be that the administrator was careless and only focused on reading romance novels, resulting in the wrong sorting?

My gaze swept across the entire row of bookshelves, down and up.

No! ! !

Yang Jianguo withdrew his gaze, his hands behind his back, and his face darkened.

This is going to be a big problem.

Chapter 851 Zhao Xiaohui's Despair, An Investigation Begins

Inner city, South China Sea.

Zhao Lichun is having a late-night talk with his daughter, Zhao Xiaohui, by candlelight.

“Yang Jianguo may seem humble, but he is actually very proud. You shouldn’t have provoked him before.”

"I provoked him, what should I say?"

Zhao Xiaohui was already used to her husband's obvious questions.

He's actually quite childlike in private, which is completely different from the rumors circulating outside.

Therefore, no matter what outsiders say, to the Zhao family's children, Zhao Lichun is definitely a qualified father and patriarch.

“Dad, your trip to the capital to assume your post may seem glamorous, but it is actually fraught with danger. Our most important task now is to take back the power and hold it firmly in our hands. Everything else can wait.”

"I know, I know. You, a young lady, are more talkative than an old man like me. I've already said this at home."

"But we still have to talk about it." Zhao Xiaohui's face tightened, and she said in a deep voice, "Don't you feel that the atmosphere is a bit off this time?"

At this point, Zhao Lichun finally couldn't keep his composure any longer.

It's not just not quite right, it's downright wrong. It's practically like they're saying to him outright, "You, Zhao Lichun, are in big trouble this time."

But even if he knew, what could he do? The higher-ups had made a firm decision and swiftly broke the situation in Handong.

Then, they threw Qi Tongwei, that stinking rock, back at him, leaving him unable to move even if he wanted to, and the people below were even more miserable.

I thought that the incident in Fengtian would really set Yang Jianguo and Qi Tongwei off.

Unexpectedly, it was easily dismissed by the authorities.

Yang Jianguo could understand, but Qi Tongwei—

He really went to great lengths for himself!

"Since we've already found ourselves in a passive position, we can't afford to make any rash moves that would give them more ammunition against us."

At this point, Zhao Xiaohui paused abruptly, her expression both disgusted and complicated as she changed the subject: "Dad, how about we let Ruilong go abroad for a while? With him around, some things are difficult to handle."

"It's really come to this." Zhao Lichun understood what his daughter meant.

Sending their only son abroad was both to prevent him from causing trouble and to leave the Zhao family a way out.

If he himself doesn't make it through this ordeal, Zhao Ruilong, who remains abroad, can also escape unscathed and continue the Zhao family line.

You arrange it!

“I’m afraid he won’t listen to me.”

Speaking of this younger brother, the only son of the Zhao family, their precious darling, Zhao Xiaohui felt both heartache and anger.

They said he was immature, but he didn't cause any major trouble.

He's considered sensible, yet he goes against me every day, and all my advice goes in one ear and out the other.

If he continues like this at this crucial juncture...

The Zhao family is really about to experience an earthquake.

“Call him, I’ll talk to him in person.”

Twenty minutes later, Zhao Xiaohui looked helplessly at the old man who had been coaxed into a good mood by her younger brother.

Zhao Lichun is known for his domineering, tough, and autocratic style in public.

There was a day when I was coaxed like a child.

Zhao Ruilong must be God's nemesis!

I only hope that this nemesis comes to bring prosperity to the Zhao family, rather than to lead it to destruction.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaohui felt utterly desolate.

The outlook is bleak, and the situation is far from optimistic.

Unfortunately, the person in charge of the family has lost the shrewd judgment they used to have.

How should we fight in such a disadvantageous situation?

*

More than sixty inspectors from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stormed into the building.

The neat uniforms, serious expressions, and name tags hanging on their chests all inspire awe.

"What's going on here?"

When they saw them break into the building, they immediately began arresting people and sealing boxes without saying a word. Some people were dissatisfied and stepped forward to try to stop them.

"I sent them."

Yang Jianguo appeared at the back of the group, causing the deputy minister who had stepped forward to stop.

"Minister Yang, what's going on?"

This scene was truly too sudden.

Why are you making such a serious scene? Something big must have happened.

“Important project design concepts have been stolen from the database, so please cooperate with the inspectors.” Yang Jianguo stood with his hands behind his back, his face unusually cold and solemn.

The staff members who heard this were filled with dread. 'The design concept for such an important project had been stolen, and from their database no less!'

This matter is likely to shake the entire city of Beijing.

Not only that, the database administrator will probably never have a chance to rise in the future.

Regardless of whether he was involved or not, he cannot escape the fact that he was seriously negligent in his duties.

Their gazes swept around discreetly, and everyone secretly wondered who had done it.

It's hard to believe that there wasn't an insider involved in something like this.

Yang Jianguo's attitude also indicates that there were insiders colluding to smuggle the information out.

Now, it all depends on the progress of the investigation and the extent of its spread.

'The New Year is just around the corner, and my bonus and benefits are about to arrive, how could this happen?'

The seasoned veteran secretly groaned; if the survey results were unsatisfactory, it could very well affect the year-end bonuses of the entire unit.

If the top leader is unhappy, it's possible that it will be canceled.

How could anyone who had been waiting all year be happy?

At this moment, he had already begun to curse the traitor in his heart.

'Of all things to do, why did you have to become a traitor? Just don't let me find out who it is.'

When it comes to personal interests, everyone's enthusiasm is mobilized.

I began to recall all the details of the past few days: who was acting suspiciously, whether there were any abnormalities, who had the right to access the database, and who was worth suspecting.

Most of the colleagues in my workplace are people I know well and have known for many years.

Anyone who seems a little off is immediately noticeable.

Upon careful recollection, many people did recall some suspicious points.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which was on high alert, was thrown into brief chaos. Inspectors took away 37 people in one go, including 25 administrative staff, 8 technical staff, and 4 logistics staff.

Subsequently, the office area returned to a state of apparent calm.

In his office, Yang Jianguo met with several key leaders and then called Xiang Shaodong over to inquire about the project's progress.
