Chapter 449 Rushing to Beijing, Soft Landing Arrangements

"Once you retire, do you think others won't be tempted to take a bite out of such a lucrative piece of meat as Tianlong Group?"

Chen Luo's words left Secretary Qin speechless.

"Comrade Chen Luo, you see things very clearly."

"Secretary Qin, it's not that I see things clearly, but rather that you see things perfectly well, and you see them even more clearly than I do."

They considered things more comprehensively, but it was like cutting themselves with a knife; along with the pain, there was some reluctance.

"So... you're bringing this up just so you don't owe me a favor?"

Secretary Qin wasn't stupid; he could tell that Chen Luodong was avoiding the issue of personal favors in his every sentence.

"Ahem... Um... Elder Qin..."

"I don't care, it's because of your suggestion that the higher-ups have been calling me one after another. If Tianlong Group takes on this burden, it will lose at least hundreds of billions. You'll owe them this favor whether you like it or not!"

"Since you've put it that way... then I guess I'll just have to accept it, sigh!"

"Go away, don't look so wronged. Others would love to owe you this favor, but you're the one who got the benefit and is still acting innocent."

How is the working group's investigation into Wu Qiguang's case progressing?

When Wu Qiguang was mentioned, Chen Luo shook his head.

"I'm not entirely sure, but I imagine they all eventually couldn't withstand the interrogation."

"Well, it doesn't really matter. I did make some mistakes at work in the past few years, and I admit that."

Being overly family-oriented, he turned a blind eye to sycophants like Wu Qiguang.

Looking back now, I feel ashamed!

"Old Qin, it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. In the end, it's still money no matter who makes it. The auditing department has verified the financial situation of Tianlong Group, and there is no tax evasion."

Now they're able to step up and take over the mess that Hengda University is making.

In a way, isn't this all accumulating experience for today?

"You're quite good at comforting people. Sigh, the future ultimately belongs to you young people. You're very good, Comrade Chen Luo."

Most people who reach this position at your age, without being arrogant or self-important, are like a newly tempered sword, gleaming with a dazzling light.

But you're different. You come with your own scabbard, you can draw and sheathe it at will. The higher-ups want to continue training you, but I think it's completely unnecessary.

But you're still young, so there's no rush to move forward.

"Mr. Qin, you flatter me!"

"I don't usually compliment people. Okay, it's getting late, let's stop here. Remember, you owe me a favor."

After saying that, Secretary Qin hung up the phone.

Putting down his phone, Chen Luo sighed. It was clear that the pressure exerted on the Qin family from above was considerable.

After a good night's sleep, Chen Luo had just gotten up the next morning and hadn't even had breakfast when he received a call from Secretary Aimin. The call consisted of only one sentence, four words.

Head to Beijing immediately!

At 8:20, Chen Luo arrived at the airport, and Secretary Aimin stood quietly in front of the private plane watching Chen Luo's arrival.

After getting off the bus, Chen Luo jogged forward.

"Secretary Aimin! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Secretary Aimin waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "I'm only about ten minutes ahead of you. Let's get on the plane first."

Nodding, they boarded the plane, which only contained the flight crew, their secretaries, and accompanying staff.

Chen Luo and Secretary Aimin sat at the front, one on the left and one on the right. From the moment they boarded the plane, Secretary Aimin had been scrutinizing Chen Luo with a complicated look in his eyes.

“Secretary Aimin, do I have words on my face? Why are you staring at me like that? By the way, you said you urgently summoned me from above, is something wrong?”

Secretary Aimin remained silent, only gently rubbing his temples with his fingertips, before calmly saying, "Last night, Comrade Qin Guangyuan from Chongqing gave a statement to the higher authorities."

They are also willing to have Tianlong Group take over part of the mess left by Hengda Group.

Importantly, Comrade Guangyuan specifically mentioned that you were the one who facilitated this, and at the same time, he hoped that you would be in charge of this work.

I'm curious, what did you and Comrade Guangyuan talk about? You even got him to cut off his own flesh and still put in a good word for you.

Chen Luo paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Secretary Aimin, I..."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Aimin raised his hand, signaling Chen Luo not to continue.

"I'm curious about the process, but I don't want to pry. You need to pay attention to the soft landing of the real estate industry!"

"understand!"

The two then stopped talking until the plane arrived.

After getting off the plane and getting into the car, this was Chen Luo's third time visiting the core area of ​​power. Unlike the previous two times, this time there was not only one Grand Secretary present, but also the other six.

Besides the Grand Secretary, there are more than a dozen other cabinet members.

Chen Luo was the lowest-ranking, yet the conversations mostly revolved around him.

The entire process lasted about three hours. In short, the real estate industry can only achieve a soft landing.

Inside the car, the scenery outside kept rushing past, while the atmosphere inside was rather quiet.

"Mr. Xu, please ask whatever you want."

Chen Luo was the first to break the silence.

"I have nothing to ask. As you gradually rise in rank, you will eventually be involved in such high-level decision-making. Just don't change your original intention."

My time is almost up; I plan to retire after the New Year.

Chen Luo found these words somewhat complicated.

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, you've served two terms in this position, and I've gone from a mayor at the level of a department director to where I am now."

"Well, don't be sad. Everyone has to step down one day. People say that holding power is a very enjoyable thing, and that's true."

Without exaggeration, if I really wanted to promote someone, as long as that person wasn't stupid, greedy, or corrupt, I was confident I could push them to the same level as you are now.

You're the same; once you're determined to cultivate someone, there's absolutely no obstacle to raising them to the level of a vice-provincial level.

The power in one's hands is very tempting and glamorous, but Chen Luo, people are often prone to problems when they seem to have great power, and lose their ideals and beliefs.

I hope that no matter how high you rise in the future, you will never forget your original aspiration to serve the people.

Chen Luo nodded emphatically upon hearing this.

"Senior leader, I've learned a lot!"

"Well, let's not talk about work for now. Since you've come all this way, have dinner and a couple of drinks with me tonight."

After all, if you come again next time, I'll probably have already left.

"Okay, old boss, I'll do as you say!"

The next morning, Chen Luo packed his things and boarded a plane back to Guangzhou.

After getting off the plane, Chen Luo did not return to the provincial government, but went straight to the Tianlong Group headquarters building.

Everything went very smoothly. When they met Pei Yun again, he was unusually enthusiastic and didn't hold back at all, putting all the funds that Tianlong Group could mobilize on the table.

Five hundred billion!

This is all the profit surplus of Tianlong Group over the years. It can be used to take over the unfinished building project of Hengda Group without any problem, but losses are also inevitable.

(The plot transitioned too quickly, I dare not write anymore, I'm afraid of being punished, so I'll just jump to the internet...)

Chapter 450 Two years later, transferred to a new position

As Tianlong Group took over the Hengda Real Estate project, the actions taken against the Li family in various cities and prefectures were also coming to an end.

The land currently held by the Li family has been found to be illegal, with the transfer fees being refunded and the land being reclaimed. The Li family can only watch helplessly as the fat meat that was about to be in their mouths is spat out bit by bit.

The key issue is that neighboring provinces followed suit when they saw this.

Other provinces have also started to exploit the land that the Li family acquired but has not developed for a long time.

In their words, sacrificing a deputy director of the Land and Resources Bureau could bring in billions of yuan in land revenue; anyone who didn't switch would be an idiot...

A year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye, and a lot has changed in that time.

First, there's Chen Luo's family. Last year, Chen Zhengshu took the college entrance examination at the age of 16 and achieved the highest score in the physics category at Guangdong University of Geosciences with a total score of 731. He then chose to go to the capital city to study economics.

Chen Zhengxi was also chasing after him...

However, he did not have the same talent as Chen Zhengshu. Although he took the college entrance examination a year early, he only scored 658 in history and went to the Capital Normal University.

Chen Luo and Zhang Nian haven't changed much, except that they've gotten a bit older; Chen Luo is already forty-six years old.

In addition, there are changes in officialdom.

Of the people Chen Luo brought, Jia Renli had already been transferred two months earlier to serve as the deputy secretary of the Ducheng Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, while Zhao Donglai was promoted to vice governor a year ago and can only stay in Guangdong Province to preside over public security work for the time being.

The most interesting one is Hou Liangping. I don't know who he pulled some strings for, but he was transferred to the capital six months ahead of schedule to serve as the head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's disciplinary inspection team stationed at the Central Propaganda Department.

He left in a rather mysterious manner, but Chen Luo didn't ask him whose connections he had. He understood that even generals don't dismount, and everyone goes their own way.

After all, Secretary Aimin retired a year ago. Although the new secretary is polite to Chen Luoke on the surface, he is a cabinet member after all, and his desire for control is much stronger than that of Secretary Aimin.

Chen Luo had no interest in arguing with the other party. After all, he was about to leave, so why bother with all this?

In Chen Luo's office at the provincial government, Chen Luo was packing his belongings. Minister Xu had called him just yesterday.

The meeting to appoint him has already concluded, and the official appointment notice should be issued in the next few days.

I was tidying up when there was a knock on the door.

"Governor, Secretary Tang and Vice Governor Qiu want to see you!"

Hearing Xu Yang's words, Chen Luo slowly stopped tidying up and then replied, "Let them in."

Two minutes later, Tang Ning and Qiu Kai pushed open the door and entered. Without any formalities, the two went straight to the sofa opposite Chen Luo and sat down.

"Provincial Governor Chen, what's wrong with you...?"
