In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

After making a dozen or so phone calls, Qi Tongwei was exhausted. He made these calls to tell his relatives that they could no longer stay in the public security system.

"Ugh!"

Leaning back on the sofa, Qi Tongwei sighed heavily.

Seeing this, Gao Xiaoqin's expression was complicated, but she quickly composed herself and asked softly, "Director, is the situation that serious now? Your relatives..."

Qi Tongwei nodded silently.

"Xiaoqin, how high do you think an official position has to be to be considered high-ranking?"

Secretary Chen is right. Some things, once you do them, will leave a trace. It's not that others don't know, it's just a matter of when they need to.

There's something I also need to tell you.

"Yes, Director, please go ahead."

Gao Xiaoqin had a bad feeling, and sure enough!

"Xiaoqin, let's remove all the illegal items from the manor recently."

"what?!"

Gao Xiaoqin was visibly shocked.

"Director, is it really necessary? Isn't it enough that you're keeping an eye on things?"

Furthermore... I don't have the authority to decide this matter either, if Young Master Zhao disagrees..."

Upon hearing this explanation, Qi Tongwei gave Gao Xiaoqin a deep look, then chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I almost forgot, you listen to Zhao Ruilong..."

After saying that, Qi Tongwei took out his phone and dialed Zhao Ruilong's number directly.

"Hey, Director Qi, it's only been a short while, why are you calling me again so late at night? What's up this time?"

Upon hearing Zhao Ruilong's voice, Qi Tongwei calmly said, "Ruilong, some of the group's color projects need to be stopped now."

"What! Impossible!"

Zhao Ruilong refused without even thinking.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the color project alone earns tens of millions a year. Without this project to attract people, who among those businessmen and officials would be willing to simply consume?

Taking a deep breath, Qi Tongwei explained, "This is not my meaning; these are Secretary Chen's exact words!"

"Secretary Chen? That newly appointed Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission?"

It's him again. If it weren't for him last time, Ding Yizhen would have already slipped out of the country. And now he's back again?

"Handong cannot tolerate such an awesome person!"

As Qi Tongwei listened to Zhao Ruilong's outburst, he was already inwardly criticizing it as nothing more than impotent rage.

Sure enough, after a long while, Zhao Ruilong calmly said, "Director Qi, is there really no room for compromise?"

"Secretary Chen's attitude is very firm!"

"Okay, I understand..."

Chapter 20 Are there really such amazing people in Handong?

Hong Kong Island.

Zhao Ruilong was extremely frustrated after hanging up the phone.

Even the girl in my arms doesn't seem so appealing anymore.

Sitting up straight, Zhao Ruilong dialed his second sister's number.

"Hey, second sister, are you asleep yet?"

In Beijing, Zhao Xiaohui was receiving a skin care treatment at a beauty salon after receiving a call from her younger brother.

"Not yet, Ruilong, what's up?"

"Second sister, how much do you know about Chen Luo, the newly appointed official in Handong?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaohui immediately ripped off her face mask.

"Ruilong, did you have a conflict with Chen Luo?"

Hearing his second sister's anxious tone on the other end of the phone, Zhao Ruilong frowned.

"No, Second Sister. It was Secretary Chen who made Qi Tongwei shut down some of my company's businesses. I want to ask Second Sister if you know who this Chen Luo is. Even Qi Tongwei, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, has to bow down to him."

Zhao Xiaohui visibly breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the answer.

At the same time, his tone became stern.

"Ruilong, about this Chen Luo!"

You absolutely must not get into a conflict with them!

His background is quite extraordinary. He became a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission at the age of thirty-eight. This is inseparable from his background at Peking University, and the fact that his current superior, Mr. Xu, is his former leader. In short, even Dad doesn't want to provoke this faction.

Don't do anything foolish!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong felt a chill run down his spine.

After all, he has a father who works in Beijing, and he knows all too well the importance of a 38-year-old provincial party committee member to Peking University!

That's Beijing University, not Han University!

Even the relationship between Chen Luo and his former boss, Old Xu, which was only on the surface, was too much for the Zhao family to handle.

"I understand, Second Sister..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ruilong became withdrawn and isolated.

After a long silence, he finally laughed and said, "Handong really has a formidable newcomer!"

Despite his anger, Zhao Ruilong still called Qi Tongwei back, indicating that he would do as Chen Luo said.

Shanshui Manor.

After receiving Zhao Ruilong's reply, Qi Tongwei visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhao Ruilong was truly fearless and unwilling to do as Chen Luo said, which would only result in him, Qi Tongwei, suffering in the middle.

Fortunately, Zhao Ruilong compromised.

"Director, are you not afraid now?"

Gao Xiaoqin winked at Qi Tongwei, who was already aroused, but at the last moment, the scene of meeting Chen Luo a while ago flashed through his mind again.

The flame in my heart was as if it had been doused with cold water.

He looked calmly at Gao Xiaoqin.

"Xiaoqin, tell me honestly, are you Zhao Ruilong's man or mine?"

Qi Tongwei had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Gao Xiaoqin clearly hadn't expected Qi Tongwei to ask her such a direct question.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Xiaoqin laughed out loud.

"Qi Tongwei, do you want to hear the truth?"

"Yes!"

Gao Xiaoqin nodded and then said quietly, "I, Gao Xiaoqin, am neither your person nor Zhao Ruilong's person. I belong to myself!"

However, if I had to choose between you and Zhao Ruilong, I would choose you, and the reason... you know!

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said, "Is it because we have a child?"

Gao Xiaoqin remained silent, which clearly meant she agreed.

"Since you've said that, let me remind you of something: whether it's Zhao Ruilong or me, Qi Tongwei, we're both like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of an irreversible trend."

"I can't protect you, Zhao Ruilong can't protect you either. It's time to plan your escape route."

After saying this, Qi Tongwei got up, put on his coat, and then left Shanshui Manor with his phone in hand.

Watching Qi Tongwei leave, Gao Xiaoqin suddenly smiled.

"You're still the same Qi Tongwei who was shot three times!"

After saying this softly, Gao Xiaoqin closed her eyes and remained motionless.

............................................................

Time is merciless; it flies by in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Qi Tongwei seemed to have returned to the people's policeman who was wholeheartedly serving the people.

Under Qi Tongwei's command, the public security system in the province has undergone a major transformation. Traffic police who used to never go out on duty are now on the streets, and police arrive at the scene in ten minutes or so after receiving a report, which used to take less than an hour.

Special police officers are stationed in densely populated areas, and many incorrigible cadres in the public security system have been transferred to the discipline inspection commission.

These are all jobs that Chen Luo can see.

Office of the Provincial Party Secretary.

At that moment, Sha Ruijin was answering the phone with a serious expression.

"Hey Ruijin, how's work in Handong going lately?"

Hearing the aged voice on the phone, Sha Ruijin frowned slightly before smiling and replying, "Dad, things are going fairly well at Handong."

"Hmm, from what you've said, everything seems to be going well in Handong."

However… as far as I know, you haven't made much progress or breakthroughs in the tasks assigned to you by the organization this month since you started working in Handong. You need to pay more attention; the Zhong family is pressuring you. There's a leadership transition in a year, and if Zhao Lichun doesn't fall, the Zhong family won't continue to support you!”

Upon hearing his father-in-law's words, Sha Ruijin was silent for a moment, but quickly assured him, "Dad, I will complete the task assigned to me by the organization as soon as possible!"

After chatting for a few more minutes, Sha Ruijin hung up the phone, letting out a slight sigh of relief followed by a helpless sigh.

Originally, Sha Ruijin planned to use the Luzhou Food City to implicate Zhao Ruilong, but after Yi Xuexi, whom he had favored, became the acting mayor, it seemed that he had forgotten about the pollution of the Crescent Lake Food City.

With this in mind, Sha Ruijin had no choice but to contact Yi Xuexi directly.

The call was connected.

"Hello, this is Sha Ruijin!"

Upon hearing Sha Ruijin's voice on the phone, Yi Xuexi, from the Luzhou Municipal Government, immediately stood up.
