Chapter 256 The martial world is a place of human relationships and worldly wisdom! Who dares to tou
Chapter 256 The martial world is a place of human relationships and social customs! Who dares to touch me, Zhao Ruilong?
The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.
Chen Yang nestled languidly and listlessly in Zhao Ruilong's arms.
By the dim light of the bedside lamp, she gazed at Zhao Ruilong, who was smoking, with eyes full of longing.
"Don't you know that smoking is even more harmful to your health after strenuous exercise?"
Zhao Ruilong lifted Chen Yang's chin.
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'A cigarette after sex is better than being a god'?"
"Is there still such a thing?"
Chen Yang stared wide-eyed and asked with a smile, "So you're really more comfortable than a living god right now?"
"more or less!"
Zhao Ruilong smiled slightly and tilted his head back to exhale a long puff of smoke.
It's quite comfortable.
Every time she met with Chen Yang, she couldn't help but think of Qi Tongwei.
He was shocked to realize that Chen Yang, the goddess he had longed for during his time at Handong University but never dared to confess to, had actually become his woman.
Thinking that Qi Tongwei didn't know Chen Yang, who appeared virtuous, quiet, and pure on the surface, was actually incredibly passionate and charming in private.
She also recalled that Qi Tongwei had been shot three times and became a drug-fighting hero in order to be transferred to Yanjing so that he could be with Chen Yang, but he never got his wish.
Furthermore, considering that he was forced by reality and, in order to change his career fate, ultimately had to abandon Chen Yang and kneel down to propose to Liang Lu in front of everyone on the playground...
Although he knew very well that Chen Yang and Qi Tongwei had long since given up on each other.
This wasn't stealing, nor was it taking someone else's love. Even if Qi Tongwei found out, it wouldn't matter.
But the thought of these things still gave Zhao Ruilong a strange thrill and an indescribable sense of conquest.
"The white moonlight that Qi Tongwei could not have has become my little lover who is completely obedient to me..."
Zhao Ruilong had just put the cigarette to his lips, but hadn't even taken a puff yet.
Then I suddenly realized a serious problem.
"Oh right, Chen Hai is getting married on Sunday. Did he invite Qi Tongwei?"
Upon hearing the name Qi Tongwei, Chen Yang's expression immediately turned sour.
Why did you bring him up out of the blue?
"Are you angry?"
Zhao Ruilong asked with a light laugh.
"no!"
Chen Yang said no, but immediately sat up.
With her left hand, she pulled the blanket up to cover herself, and with her right hand, she grabbed her pajamas and quickly put them on.
"If you don't even want to hear his name, then it proves that you still have feelings for him."
Zhao Ruilong took a drag on his cigarette and asked with a wicked smile:
"Not saying anything? Looks like I was right!"
Chen Yang glanced at Zhao Ruilong with a resentful look in his eyes.
"What did you mean?"
"If I still had feelings for him, would I be lying here with you?"
"If I still can't forget him, and I know he married Liang Lu, why would I stay in Yanjing?"
"His kneeling on the playground that year severed our fate, leaving no possibility of anything more."
Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "But your Chen family did him a favor!"
“Once I went to the home of Gao Yuliang, a scholar in Luzhou, for dinner. He was there too, and I heard him mention it after we had some drinks.”
“He said his family used to be very poor, and when he was in college, your family gave him a lot of financial help.”
"The meal tickets he used were bought with your money. He played basketball wearing Chen Hai's jersey. His first pair of Warrior basketball shoes were bought for him with your savings."
"Even if we can't be family, we can still be friends. Chen Hai's wedding is such a joyous occasion. If he received an invitation, he should come and congratulate him, right?"
Chen Yang snorted dismissively.
"But do you think Chen Haiming would still invite me if he knew I would come back for the wedding?"
"Aren't you afraid that if I meet Qi Tongwei, it will make everyone feel awkward on this joyous occasion?"
"Besides, do you think Qi Tongwei is a person who values loyalty and gratitude?"
This question took Zhao Ruilong by surprise.
"You have nothing to say?"
Chen Yang sighed softly, leaned back against the headboard, and said leisurely:
"Qi Tongwei, despite his humble origins, has ambitions that are higher than the sky."
"His family was so poor that he was terrified of poverty, so when he was studying, he studied diligently, even resorting to extreme measures like hanging his head from the rafters and pricking his thigh with an awl."
"After graduating from university, he realized that hard work could not change his fate, so he could abandon his dignity without hesitation."
"He is a very ambitious person who is willing to pay a huge price for his future, even sacrificing everything."
Chen Yang mentioned the word "sacrifice".
Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but recall that Qi Tongwei had chatted with Gao Yuliang in the original drama.
Qi Tongwei believes that Chen Hai is an inflexible and incompetent person.
To avoid implicating him in Chen Hai's investigation of Ding Yizhen's case, he took immediate action.
The so-called emergency response involved having a drunk driver drive a truck into Chen Hai, causing a car accident. If Chen Hai hadn't been lucky, he would have died on the spot.
When Gao Yuliang heard this, he was so shocked that he immediately stood up.
His eyes widened in shock and barely concealed disappointment as he questioned Qi Tongwei.
What were you thinking when you targeted Chen Hai?
Aren't you ashamed? Doesn't your heart tremble?
The Chen family has given him so much financial help, is this how he repays them?
Except this thing.
Zhao Ruilong also recalled that Qi Tongwei, in order to be promoted to the vice-provincial level, knowingly sided with Li Dakang and Gao Yuliang despite the conflict between them, and wholeheartedly helped Li Dakang in the Ding Yizhen escape incident.
During the Dafeng Factory incident, when Qi Tongwei heard that Chen Yanshi called Sha Ruijin "Little Jinzi", his attitude immediately changed. The dignified Director Qi did not attend to official business, but instead went to hoe the garden of Chen Yanshi, working up a sweat.
of course.
The most classic and controversial story, which was even used by Li Dakang as a joke at the Standing Committee meeting, is the story of Qi Tongwei crying at the Zhao family's grave. Even Gao Yuliang, a master of sophistry, could not refute it.
Think about it now.
Zhao Ruilong believed that Qi Tongwei was in Lüzhou and had not yet been transferred back to Jingzhou.
If he is really transferred back, he will serve as the director of the Political Security Department, just like in the original drama.
So next year during the Qingming Festival, when I accompany my father Zhao Lichun back to our hometown to pay respects at his grave, he might just kneel down and wail loudly.
He took a deep drag on his cigarette.
Zhao Ruilong was not surprised that Qi Tongwei was too ambitious; he had long known that Qi was eager to advance his career.
Zhao Ruilong was somewhat surprised that Chen Yang, who had gone to Yanjing after graduating from university and had rarely returned to Jingzhou in recent years, had made such an accurate judgment about Qi Tongwei's character.
I know he's willing to sacrifice everything for his future.
Judging from the current situation...
It was inevitable that Qi Tongwei would rise through the ranks; he might even become Director Qi. As his power increased, it was not impossible that he would become blinded by greed.
Chen Hai, who is an upright person, is very likely to be promoted to the head of the anti-corruption bureau. Perhaps one day when the investigation into corruption will lead to Qi Tongwei.
At that time, Qi Tongwei will most likely take the same 'emergency measures' as in the original drama.
After all, in his words, this was a life-or-death struggle, and he had no other choice.
Speechless now? Speechless?
"Think about it, after my dad retired, he never visited my home again."
"With someone as calculating as him, and my brother's position not being high-ranking, why would he need to come and offer his congratulations?"
"I bet he'll just make a phone call, lie and say he's too busy to get away, and just exchange some empty pleasantries."
"It just so happens that Handong Province is currently undergoing a major campaign to change its work style, prohibiting the giving and receiving of gifts and invitations, so he can even save on the cost of gift money!"
At this point, Chen Yang suddenly changed the subject.
"By the way, how come it was Luo Shanhe who was parachuted into Handong to serve as the Supervisor of the Imperial Secretariat?"
"He's not a easy person to deal with. In Tianhai, he's known for being upright and unyielding, even a bit ruthless."
Zhao Ruilong smiled faintly.
“I never intended for my dad to recommend his own people for this position.”
"Otherwise, if four out of the five people in the group are on the same page as my dad, do you think some people can feel at ease?"
Chen Yang leaned closer, and asked with a curious smile:
"Who is it?"
Zhao Ruilong glanced at Chen Yang, who was beaming with curiosity.
"Don't ask that. Knowing too much won't do you any good."
Chen Yang pursed his lips.
"If you don't want to talk about it, fine. Anyway, I've known since I was a child that competition is everywhere in the system. Even at your father's level, there is still competition."
"Ha, isn't that obvious? Looking across the entire Dragon Kingdom, there are over thirty officials who are also regional governors like my father. Who wouldn't want to advance further?"
Zhao Ruilong reached out and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, then casually picked up a bottle of water.
"In the business world, there is competition, but even more importantly, there is the pursuit of win-win outcomes."
"But in officialdom, one must be harmonious and impartial, and everyone should contribute their share; after all, many hands make light work!"
"Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own. This world of its own is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions."
"If you blindly pursue complete victory and leave no room for maneuver, you will find it increasingly difficult to move forward as you go higher."
"Therefore, making appropriate concessions and leaving some room for maneuver, so that the benefits are shared, will prevent others from being envious and resentful of you!"
Chen Yang is a smart man; he understands things immediately.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have graduated from Handong University, entered the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and become a powerful section chief.
“I understand the logic. No province or municipality can match the rapid development momentum of Handong now. It is very likely that it will surpass Dongguang next year and become the number one economic province in our country.”
"Making appropriate concessions so that other forces can also share the benefits of development is fine, but you must be careful of Luo Shanhe and not be fooled by his refined and unhurried scholarly appearance."
Zhao Ruilong handed over a bottle of mineral water.
"Don't worry, even if he came to Handong on a mission, no matter how powerful he is, he can't deal with my dad, let alone me."
"As the saying goes, if you are upright, you have nothing to fear. My dad is only focused on making progress now, and I'm doing business legally and compliantly. How could he possibly find fault with me?"
What Zhao Ruilong really wanted to say was that it was better for Luo Shanhe to be parachuted into Handong than for Tian Guofu to come.
Compared to the truly despicable Tian Guofu, Luo Shanhe is actually a decent person.
Although we've never met or had any dealings with each other.
But before he transmigrated, he had watched the original series of "Sweeping Away Organized Crime".
I know that Luo Shanhe is a refined and gentle 'scholar-general' who speaks in a calm and unhurried manner.
In the original drama, he led a supervisory team to Luteng City, Zhongjiang Province, to carry out a campaign to crack down on organized crime.
The criminal gang led by Gao Mingyuan and backed by Dong Yao, He Yun, Wang Zheng, and others was almost completely wiped out with minimal incident.
Luo Shanhe focuses on the issue, not the person, and is dedicated to doing his job well.
And what about Tian Guofu?
He was notorious for speaking in a sarcastic and sarcastic manner and for tattling on others.
If this petty person were to become the fourth in command, I'd actually have a bit of a headache.
But Luoshanhe...
As long as you don't make mistakes, people won't cause trouble.
of course.
Chen Yang only knew that Luo Shanhe was an upright person, but he did not know that Luo Shanhe was actually better than Tian Guofu when he came to Handong.
Without any hesitation, he picked up Zhao Ruilong's water bottle and gulped down several mouthfuls.
