Chapter 132 [Anger]

Zhang Yang sighed and said, "Forget it, let's go back!" Care is a mess. In fact, his mentality is normal now.

That night, they did not return to Jiali International, but came to Gu Jiatong's villa on the shore of Qiuxia Lake. The two sat in front of the fireplace and looked at the burning flames in the fireplace. Gu Jiatong changed into a pink nightgown and curled up beside Zhang Yang. Usually, she had to pretend to be a strong woman in front of the public. Only by Zhang Yang's side can she completely put down everything she deliberately managed and become a real woman.

Zhang Yang gently stroked her hair and smiled and said, "I have handed over the work from the Beijing Office. From now on, my focus will be shifted to the Jiangcheng Tourism Bureau."

Gu Jiatong smiled and said, "The leisurely unit of the Tourism Bureau is not suitable for your temperament. I really don't know why Li Changyu arranged a seat like that for you."

Zhang Yang said: "I have just arrived at the Tourism Bureau and am not familiar with the situation yet. But they said that the focus of Jiangcheng's reform in the future is to build a first-class tourist city in the country, and the Tourism Bureau will become a key functional department." He has just arrived at the Tourism Bureau to work now, but he is actually very confused about what he wants to do in the future and what he can do, and has not sorted out a complete idea.

Gu Jiatong hugged Zhang Yang's waist and whispered: "The political situation in Jiangcheng has been very chaotic recently. I heard that former mayor Li Guozheng was arrested. There are many officials involved, and many people have already dismounted."

Zhang Yang was still very concerned about what happened around him. He whispered: "Is there any latest progress in this matter? What is the province planning to deal with it?"

"I don't know, my dad rarely talks about business at home. Anyway, Jiangcheng is shocked a lot this time. According to me, a large number of cadres at the deputy division level and above will come down. It may be a good opportunity for you."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I'm not greedy. I've just been promoted to the full-time department. I can't give me a deputy immediately. If that's true, the entire Jiangcheng cadre team will be jealous of me." Although this guy really wanted to go further, he also understood that it was unrealistic to get promoted again in a short period of time.

Gu Jiatong looked disbelief. Zhang Yang had always been straightforward when he had considered other people's feelings. Not to mention giving him a deputy director, even if he was the mayor, he would be at ease.

Zhang Yang said: "By the way, I came to Jiangcheng this time and brought some local specialties for your father!"

Gu Jiatong understood what he meant and whispered: "I'll take it here for you. He has been very busy recently and has no time to stay at home all day. If you go, he has no time to pay attention to you."

Zhang Yang nodded: "How are you preparing for tomorrow's bid shortlist?"

Gu Jiatong said: "What else can it be done? It's just a form. No matter how many shortlisted, they will still have to compete among the three companies. One is Liang Chenglong's Fengyu Group, the other is Fang Wennan's Shengshi Group, and the other is Wang Xuehai. He just found a new partner."

Zhang Yang hugged Gu Jiatong's shoulder and said, "What's the chance of winning?"

"The final bid will be held at the end of the month, and now I dare not say I am fully confident."

Xu Changde took the initiative to find the provincial party secretary Gu Yunzhi. He first sincerely reviewed his knowledge of the Zhangwulou mining accident and did not report it. Then he expressed shame for his unawareness of Li Guozheng's serious corruption violation case during his tenure in Jiangcheng. He was trying to restore the impact of this incident to the greatest extent. Instead of waiting for others to blame him, it is better to do a self-examination first, so that he can block others' mouths first.

Gu Yunzhi's attitude was very kind, which was somewhat beyond Xu Changde's expectations. He thought Gu Yunzhi would be furious because of what happened in Jiangcheng and then take the opportunity to attack him.

Gu Yunzhi said calmly: "It is better to expose problems than to cover them up forever. Since we can discover problems, we have the ability to solve them. Comrade Changde, Jiangcheng's affairs do not only exist in Jiangcheng, but also in individual cadres. This incident has sounded a wake-up call for our vast number of party members and our cadre team. We must recognize the problems in our cadre management through this incident and realize that solving problems is our ultimate goal!"

Xu Changde clearly felt that Gu Yunzhi's words were empty, empty and insignificant, and there was no sense of any accusation he had against him, as if he had no intention of holding his leader accountable. However, Xu Changde had a considerable understanding of Gu Yunzhi's temperament. He dared to conclude that Gu Yunzhi would never miss this opportunity to deal with him. This Pinghai boss did not take action easily, and he would hit him with one blow.

Although Gu Yunzhi's eyes were calm and peaceful, Xu Changde felt the murderous intent hidden behind this calm and peacefulness. Xu Changde felt a hint of sadness in his heart. He once thought that Jiangcheng had become an independent political fortress in the north of Pinghai under his management, which was his political foundation. For many years, Gu Yunzhi had not shown hostility to him. But when he got promoted as he wished and became the governor of Pinghai Province, he discovered that Gu Yunzhi was always sharpening his knife silently. It was not that he did not want to use this knife, but that he had been choosing the opportunity to swing the knife. The highest level of the killer was to hide the murderous aura and return to peace, and the highest level of political cultivation was also restrained and peaceful. The peace that Gu Yunzhi showed now was because he was still choosing the angle of the last wave of the knife, and where should this knife fall on Xu Changde.

The sadness in Xu Changde's heart gradually turned into anger and resentment. He was always in a passive state of being beaten when he came to Dongjiang. Gu Yunzhi regarded himself as a weak person with no ability to fight back. Xu Changde shouted silently in his heart, "I won't fall down just now."

After Gu Yunzhi's peace, there was indeed deep sadness and anger. If Xu Changde concealed the mine's misfortune just to whitewash the peace and fear that it would affect his career, it would be understandable. If Xu Changde was involved like Li Guozheng, then the corruption of Jiangcheng's political arena had reached an outrageous point. Li Guo was a breakthrough, and more and more cadres were involved. This was Jiangcheng's misfortune and Jiangcheng's sorrow. Gu Yunzhi was waiting for the truth to be revealed, and he wanted to settle all this with Xu Changde.

The moment he walked out of Gu Yunzhi's office, Xu Changde paused slightly, then straightened his back and took a big step. When people feel scared, they often cannot see their future and destiny clearly. Xu Changde has already seen the worst possible outcome of this matter. Instead, he is no longer afraid. In Jiangcheng, he is a cadre who can turn the tide. In the past, he is still the case. After coming to Dongjiang, he has always kept his eyes closed, but his forbearance has become a kind of retreat in Gu Yunzhi's eyes, but it has become a kind of cowardice. He will not surrender, and he wants to reverse the predicament in front of him.

There are four shortlisted players in the final bidding for the textile department store plot, in addition to Liang Chenglong of Fengyu Group and Fang Wennan of Shengshi Group, and Pinghai Dongning Construction Group, which is a bid-accompanied brand, and the last one is Wang Xuehai's Tengzhong Group, which is a Hong Kong-funded company. The result of the matter is reasonable and not beyond anyone's expectations. After the lengthy speeches of leaders from all aspects, a sponsor issued bids to the four finalists, which means that the competition among the four companies will enter the final sprint stage from today.

The four leaders of the bidding company sat very close. Liang Chenglong sat between Fang Wennan and Wang Xuehai. He smiled and reached out to the two of them, shook politely and said, "From today on, we will become competitors." In Liang Chenglong's view, only Wang Xuehai is qualified to be his opponent, but that is also the past. Since Gu Jiatong clearly stated that she would withdraw from the bidding and no longer continue to join forces with Wang Xuehai, Wang Xuehai's combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced in his heart. Now Wang Xuehai's competitiveness is not even as good as Shengshi Group, which is also a local enterprise in Pinghai.

Wang Xuehai smiled and said: "China's market is becoming more and more mature, and the market needs healthy competition. We are opponents, but not enemies. Through this bidding, we hope we will become friends."

Liang Chenglong smiled and said, "It's not a Raptor but a general. Mr. Wang came to Dongjiang. This is to steal the jobs of our local enterprises!"

Wang Xuehai said calmly: "The strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, not to mention that Mr. Liang's Fengyu Group has turned into a dragon. This time I actually want to seize food from a tiger's mouth. It's very difficult and very big!"

Liang Chenglong glanced at Fang Wennan and said, "This time I am not the only local snake."

Fang Wennan smiled and said, "The reason why our Shengshi Group participated in this time is mainly to adapt to the competition model of modern society with the purpose of visiting and learning. Although success is gratifying, there is no regret for failure."

Wang Xuehai said meaningfully: "Mr. Fang is really so open-minded?"

Fang Wennan sighed and said, "Whoever sees the big cake at the door of his house will be moved. No one wants to pick it up by others. I feel very conflicted, very conflicted!"

The three of them laughed loudly in unison.

After the meeting, Wang Xuehai drove to the Pangdu VIP Club in the Mililan Hotel. In the room called Yuyuan, a VIP guest had already arrived here before him.

Wang Xuehai walked into the room, took off his windbreaker with the help of a beautiful woman in red dress, and walked over with a smile: "Mr. An, don't be fine!"

Andheng slowly walked towards Wang Xuehai and gave him a warm hug. The two sat down opposite the coffee table. Andheng smiled and said, "What's the result?"

Wang Xuehai picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "It was expected, but I still can't figure out Fang Wennan's foundation!"

Andhn said: "His career focuses on Jiangcheng, why should he participate in this bid?"

Wang Xuehai shook his head, then leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes and said thoughtfully: "Everyone knows that Liang Chenglong's backstage is Liang Tianzheng, secretary of the Dongjiang Municipal Party Committee. Those who dare to participate in this bid must not only have a strong economic foundation, but also have a strong political background. At least the figures behind him are no less than Liang Tianzheng."

Andhn said: "You haven't found out his background?"

Wang Xuehai said: "I have worked with Fang Wennan. This person is not simple. He is calm and has a strong overall view. As far as I can tell, he has a good relationship with Hong Weiji, secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee. However, Hong Weiji should not have a head-on confrontation with Liang Tianzheng for him. Besides, the land of the textile department store is located in Dongjiang, and Liang Tianzheng will not give him face." Wang Xuehai would not believe that Fang Wennan only has the purpose of visiting and studying. The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Fang Wennan is an excellent businessman. He must have seen the future development prospects of this land, so he intervened.

And Heng whispered: "I went to Chunyang for the New Year a few days ago and found that Fang Wennan and Zhang Yang have a good relationship."

A casual sentence shocked Wang Xuehai, and his face changed slightly: "What?" If Fang Wennan and Zhang Yang had a good relationship, and Zhang Yang and Gu Jiatong had that kind of ambiguous relationship, then Fang Wennan might have joined Gu Jiatong through Zhang Yang's bridge. Could it be that Gu Jiatong gave up on him to cooperate with Fang Wennan? Fang Wennan had the backer of the Gu family so he dared to participate in the competition. A series of speculations made Wang Xuehai extremely depressed and angry, and he felt like he was being fooled.

Andhn said: "Zhang Yang is not simple!"

Wang Xuehai sneered: "What's not simple? It's just relying on Gu Jiatong's nepotism..." He suddenly remembered Luo Huining again, Zhang Yang also had a godmother who was the wife of the Vice Premier. This kid's foundation is indeed extraordinary.

And Heng said: "I have always been very surprised. Why did your cooperation with Miss Gu suddenly interrupt?"

Wang Xuehai sighed and said, "It's not because of the sudden blood splashing incident that Gu Jiatong has become very wary of me since that incident!"

"Have Mr. Wang done it?"

Wang Xuehai smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I would be so stupid? He splashed her blood and then made this series of clumsy performances, making her believe that it was Liang Chenglong who did it, and making her hate Liang Chenglong, so that she will stand on my side more firmly?"

And Deheng didn't speak. In his opinion, Wang Xuehai's method of doing things could not be ruled out.

Wang Xuehai said: "I suspect that this was done by Liang Chenglong. He wants to disrupt my alliance with Gu Jiatong!"

Andeheng smiled and said, "Doing things in the mainland is much more complicated than in Hong Kong. All relationships need to be taken care of. What is the competition in business is not about strength, but about background!"

Wang Xuehai did not agree with Andeheng's statement: "In fact, background is the embodiment of strength. Now everything is about comprehensive strength. It doesn't matter if there is no background. On this land of China, you can't move at all."

Andheng took a sip of tea ceremony: "Mr. Wang, what I can guarantee is funds. I feel a headache when I think of these complicated relationships, so you should deal with them!"

Wang Xuehai burst into laughter, but his heart was not as happy as he showed. If Fang Wennan really joined forces with Gu Jiatong, then he would undoubtedly become the most weaker party in this bidding. The reason why he fell into the current dilemma is undoubtedly Gu Jiatong. If Gu Jiatong abandons himself and Fang Wennan, it would be treason, which Wang Xuehai cannot tolerate.

Gu Jiatong handed over all the superficial work to And Heng. She and Zhang Yang stayed in the villa in Qiuxia Lake until noon the next day. It was rare for them to enjoy such leisure time. At noon, Fang Wennan called Gu Jiatong and informed her of the specific situation of the morning meeting. Gu Jiatong talked with him for nearly twenty minutes before hanging up the phone and returning to Zhang Yang's side, smiling: "Wang Xuehai still has not given up on bidding. It seems that the competition for the plot this time is unprecedentedly fierce."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's not easy to deal with him. You ask Fang Wennan to sort out Wang Xuehai's past business information and send it to the supervisory unit to see if such people who have bad land speculation are qualified to participate in the bidding." His method is direct and simple.

Gu Jiatong said: "It's not the time yet. With him in it, at least part of Liang Chenglong's energy can be involved." She put her mobile phone on the glass coffee table: "These people are all human geniuses. It won't take too long to find out that Fang Wennan and I joined forces."

Zhang Yang said: "Actually, I can't figure it out. Is there any problem with that land in Dongjiang? Why not go to Qingtaishan to invest? By the way, I recently discovered a hot spring, which is really great. I will take you there to soak in another day. You spend money to build a hot spring resort center there to make sure you make money!" Since the spring breeze with Qin Qing in the hot spring, this guy has been obsessed with it.

Princess Gu Jiatong smiled and said, "You can't take it for granted when doing business. Qingtaishan has almost no development now, so who would go there for vacation."

"An Jia has made a statement and will accelerate the development process of clearing Taishan this year!"

Gu Jiatong vaguely heard the phone call, looked at her cell phone and placed it on the coffee table, turned around and looked into the villa. Zhang Yang touched her body, and then she remembered that the phone had been thrown on the bed and was not brought out. He got up and went to the villa to pick up the phone. As soon as he opened the phone, he heard an anxious voice coming from inside: "Are you Zhao Jing's brother?"

Zhang Yang was stunned: "It's me!"

"You come to the Provincial People's Hospital right away. Something happened to your sister and is being rescued!"

Zhang Yang was stunned, and walked out of the villa and rushed towards the garage.

Seeing his anxious look, Gu Jiatong immediately realized that he was in trouble and hurriedly chased after him: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Xiao Jing has entered the hospital, hurry up... Give me the car keys!"

Only then did Gu Jiatong realize that the matter must be very serious, so she hurriedly took the car keys. She was worried that Zhang Yang would make a mistake in her busy schedule, so she drove Zhang Yang to the Provincial People's Hospital in person. On the way, she called Fang Wennan again and turned down the appointment to meet in the afternoon.

Zhao Jing was beaten very hard, and was injured on many sides of her body, and her spleen ruptured. After being sent to the hospital last night, the spleen was removed by surgery and had nearly 3,000ml of blood transfusion. It was difficult to save her life. Now she has undergone surgery and sent back to the ward. According to the hospital, if she is sent to her for a while, Zhao Jing's life will not be saved.

Zhang Yang looked at her sister lying on the hospital bed and felt her legs weak and she was so weak that she could hardly move. Kong Li and Ge Yuanyuan from Zhao Jing's dormitory in the ward were accompanying her, and one was Jin Mei, a first-year counselor at Dongjiang Normal University.

Zhang Yang came to Zhao Jing's side and held her pale and cold little hand: "Xiao Jing...Xiao Jing..."

Zhao Jing was still in a coma. Zhang Yang explored her vein and found that Zhao Jing's vein was still stable and her heart was a little calm. His heart was filled with sadness and anger. Who was so cruel that he tortured a girl to this way?

Jin Mei said: "You are Zhao Jing's brother?"

Zhang Yang nodded, Jin Mei pointed outside and signaled them to go outside to speak.

Zhang Yang and Gu Jiatong followed.

When we arrived in the corridor, Jin Mei sighed: "Our school has just received a notice. The police have just arrived. The beating should have happened at around 3 o'clock last night. Near the Zero Bar, we don't know who Zhao Jing is with, but..." She paused a little hesitantly, and then said: "According to the doctor's examination, Zhao Jing should not have been sexually assaulted... This is also a blessing in disgrace!"

Zhang Yang leaned against the wall, his chest was fluctuating violently, and a trace of blood gradually emerged from his pale face. The blood spread rapidly on his face, dyeing his ears, neck and eyes red.

When Jin Mei saw Zhang Yang's bloodthirsty eyes, she was so scared that she couldn't help but shivered.

Zhang Yang nodded and walked outside without saying a word.

Gu Jiatong hurriedly chased him out and grabbed his arm: "Zhang Yang, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I know who did it!"

Gu Jiatong hugged his arm desperately and said, "Even if someone commits a crime, there will naturally be a law to punish him. Don't do anything randomly!"

Zhang Yang glared at Gu Jiatong and shouted: "It's my sister who is lying inside! If I didn't let her go out yesterday, this wouldn't have happened. It was my negligence that caused her to be so much hurt. I want to give her justice!" He threw Gu Jiatong's arm away and rushed out of the hospital gate.

Gu Jiatong had tears in her eyes. She knew that no one could stop Zhang Yang now. Zhao Jing's miserable situation had angered the lion. He wanted to take revenge, and he wanted to take revenge at any cost.

Gu Jiatong stabilized her mood. While chasing Zhang Yang from behind, she called her cousin Zhang Defang. After all, Zhang De was in the police force, and maybe he had a way to stop Zhang Yang. Hang up the phone and she contacted Fang Wennan again. Fang Wennan was shocked when he heard about this. He immediately said that he would use all his relationships to find Zhang Yang's whereabouts.

But Zhang Yang took a car when he went out, and disappeared into the endless flow of traffic in a blink of an eye.
To be continued...
