Chapter 3545 The Upright Gentleman Zhao Chang'an

Zhao Chang'an drove around to the side of the building where Shan Cai lived and parked the car. He felt like he was being rushed home from out of town early in the morning by a man with two helpers. It was exciting but boring, like catching someone cheating.

He rolled down the car window, lit a cigarette, and thought about the security guard he had seen earlier who looked excited and proud when he started the car. He quickly pressed the intercom three times, which was probably a signal to let him through the gate.

He just couldn't understand why these security guards were so certain that his early morning visit wasn't just for taking orders for gambling, but that his main purpose was to have an affair.

Zhao Chang'an had always believed that he had a good image in the outside world, that he was a responsible and upright gentleman who knew what to do and what not to do.

It seems that, at least when it comes to young, beautiful, and lovely women, people are not so convinced that they are innocent and pure.

Like the sparse mud splattered on the snow piled up by the roadside, although the flaws do not detract from the overall beauty, it is ultimately not beautiful.

The security guard walked over from the corner and whispered, "Mr. Shan and her driver and secretary went upstairs, but they didn't park the car in the garage or turn around. They should go around from here."

"Thanks, brother. I just came to pick someone up to go to Mingzhu, but things got complicated."

The apartment door in this stairwell can be opened remotely by the residents upstairs, but Shan Cai threw the key down without pressing the key in the hallway outside her bedroom, clearly indicating that she was still asleep. This at least proves that the relationship between this handsome man and beautiful woman is quite unusual.

Zhao Chang'an went upstairs early in the morning, while Shan Cai was sleeping in the bedroom. You can easily guess what he was upstairs to do.

Those who understand, understand; they just won't say it out loud.

"Mr. Zhao, we all understand, but Mr. Shan has a strong personality, why bother?"

The security guard said with a smile, "Mr. Shan didn't come back last night."

What he meant was that if Zhao Chang'an were blocked at the Shan family's house so early in the morning, it would be difficult for him to explain whether he had come to pick up Shan Cai that morning or had been sleeping there the night before.

At that time, CCTV surveillance was still relatively expensive and rare. It was bulky and heavy, with cameras costing tens of thousands of yuan. It also required professional computers and cables. The purpose of placing cameras outside was for security and surveillance, but their high price made them a desirable item for thieves.

This upscale residential community only had one camera at the main entrance. The community was built by Green Garden, and Green Garden also managed the property management itself. Zhao Chang'an knew that the high-definition camera and its supporting equipment at the main entrance cost over 100,000 yuan.

However, last summer, Shan Qiang complained that setting up a subsidiary property management company was too troublesome and caused too many disputes. She broke Xing Dali's previous rule and began to divest the property management department.

Currently, except for the residential area in the mountain city which is still managed by the company's property management company, the rest of the properties have been separated and taken over by a newly established property management company.

There's definitely something to it, like rent-seeking or exchanging favors, but Zhao Chang'an isn't in the mood to get involved in those things.

So even if Shan Qiang misunderstood, they couldn't possibly go to the guardhouse at the main gate to check the surveillance footage. That would be a scandal, and neither of them would go to check the footage to prove it.

Zhao Chang'an gave the security guard a second glance; he was eloquent and quick-witted. He offered him a cigarette, nodded, and drove away around the building. At the entrance to the residential area, Zhao Chang'an stopped and smiled at the two security guards. They smiled and waved excitedly, indicating it was no big deal and that they were genuinely happy that Zhao Chang'an had treated their profession with respect and equality.

In other words, at least these five security guards know about this now. Zhao Chang'an estimates that the news will spread sooner or later. However, there have been many rumors about him in recent years, some true and some false. It's hard to tell what's true and what's false. As long as he's not caught in bed with someone, he can deny everything.

Just like the rumors circulating outside about him and Tao Jiao, which were quite detailed, as well as the love-hate relationship between him and Ye Zi, in reality, he had absolutely nothing to do with either of them, especially Tao Jiao, whom he had never even held hands with.

Therefore, with the genuine and the fake mixed together, it becomes impossible to distinguish between male and female.

Zhao Chang'an parked the car by the bridge, got out, and looked at the frozen river. Some people were already crossing the river, choosing to cross by taking an unconventional route instead of using the proper bridge.

The sun has already risen in the east. Although the air is cold, the sunlight is warm and pleasant. Today is definitely going to be an eventful day.

The Green Garden Group is holding its New Year opening ceremony this morning, which will be attended by senior and middle-level employees from the head office and various branches and project departments, shareholders, and television interviewers.

OneNano will also hold a domestic work conference via GG voice at 3 PM. The middle and senior management of Mingzhu and the headquarters staff will use the auditorium of Shanghai International Studies University, while the middle and senior management staff from other places will participate using the GG voice chat room function. This is the first time OneNano has held such a large-scale online conference.

At this time, Wang Deyuan should have already arrived at the entrance of Zhong Jianguo's workplace, waiting for the person in charge of the relevant department to arrive. The series of reactions triggered by this will definitely be a significant shock to the mountain city at the beginning of the new year.

Zhao Chang'an stood there for a while, and at 7:50, Duan Fengqing called.

"Aunt."

"Mr. Liu Mingxiong contacted me last night, and it's true. How come I didn't receive any news about it?"

"It's basically certain that the normal time should be after the first month of the lunar calendar, but with this incident, it depends on how Feng Jianfei views it."

You mean he knew?

Duan Fengqing said, "I didn't sense anything when he spoke to me last night. But Feng Jianfei seemed a bit angry. I think he wanted to assess the situation first and try to downplay it. Now that Liu Mingxiong has gotten involved, it's really hard to downplay it."

"He probably doesn't know yet, but now that this has come to light, it's hard to say. I think Feng Jianfei has overstepped his bounds. This matter is purely a business transaction. As long as Shancheng handles it impartially according to the law, that's enough. The more they interfere, the more chaotic and wrong things become. Doesn't he understand that?"

Zhao Chang'an meant that Feng Jianfei and Duan Fengqing had always had serious disagreements about the positioning of Shancheng's economic development. Ultimately, after careful consideration and weighing of the situation, the higher authorities decided to support Duan Fengqing and let Shancheng take the path of green economic and sustainable development.

Now that this matter has come to light, even if Chang Xiao and Zou don't think that Feng Jianfei deliberately caused trouble to target Duan Fengqing's concept of green economy, it is a fact that the matter is indeed very related to this concept.

Given Feng Jianfei's consistent attitude and stance, they need to consider what Feng Jianfei will do this time. Obviously, there is uncertainty involved, so it would be better to let Duan Fengqing, who is more confident, handle this matter.

They should then expedite the process and have Duan Fengqing handle this matter, striving to ensure that it does not affect the concept of 'Green Mountain City, Green Economy'.
