Waiting for the Rabbit...
Chapter 810 The Fourth Stands and Waits...
It looks calm now, but in fact, there are undercurrents hidden under the water. There are some things that neither Zhao Chuxi nor Tan Hongru can control. All they can do is follow the trend and prevent problems before they happen. After all, things are beyond their place Just like Hu Yujia reminded Zhao Chuxi, for things that are out of your control, you don't know what price you have to pay to get the reward you deserve.
Therefore, Zhao Chuxi did not blindly go to Liu Xueshi and Deputy Governor Lin. These two were already big officials in the frontier, and Liu Xueshi might go further, so they would not lose more than they gained for certain things.
Zhao Chuxi stayed in Mianyang for two days. Although he did not contact the municipal leaders in private, he still had conversations with several officials in power on many occasions, especially the brief conversation with the head of the municipal government. , is not a native of Mianyang, so he does not have much involvement with the local forces in Mianyang. He only needs to stay here for a few years and leave when he has enough political achievements. Therefore, the two sides maintain a due tacit understanding. The commonality of officials working in different places is that they only seek stability and not quick success.Unlike the deputy mayor, half of them rose up from the local area step by step, and had an unclear relationship with more complicated local forces, just like the fallen Qian Rushen.
Zhao Chuxi seemingly inadvertently asked about recent events in Mianyang. From the meaning of that person's words, it can be heard that he didn't want the matter to make too much trouble. This is not a good thing for him, and it will make people doubt his ability. influence him in the future.However, if the situation develops further, he may not be able to control it. Perhaps he will use this force to suppress local forces.
As for the leaders from outside, some things have nothing to do with me, and I don’t think they will be involved, especially those who came from the province, but those who came from the local area made it very clear what they meant, and told Zhao Chuxi that many of them were rumors and the matter was over up.
Zhao Chuxi knew that the water in Mianyang was not as deep as usual, so it was really difficult for him to make a fuss here. In the evening, he had dinner with a standing committee member who was closer to the Hu family and who had just arrived in Mianyang last year. Zhao Chuxi understood some things more clearly.
It was already late when we got back to the hotel, Zhang Chao was too drunk to rest, Zhao Chuxi and Xu Lin sat in the room to discuss things, Xu Lin said in a deep voice, "Xishu Group wants to expand in Mianyang, there shouldn't be much resistance , but if you want to build a good relationship with the city government, there will be no progress for a while. The leaders below are all local officials, and local officials in any place will be more xenophobic. Tan Hongru has a strong foundation there."
"I didn't expect to gain anything. I just wanted to see what the situation was. I guess Tan Hongru already knew that I was in Mianyang, so he had already said hello to me." Zhao Chuxi said with a very serious expression. Sure enough, there was nothing here. It is difficult for forces to do things, unlike other places, at least they can open the door.
Xu Lin asked, "Then what are you going to do next? It's impossible to waste here, maybe this time is not a good opportunity"
"I don't know if it's an opportunity. Let's go to Deyang tomorrow. We'll talk about it when we get in touch with Deyang." Zhao Chuxi's brain was spinning. Deyang is Tan Hongru's base camp. He doesn't know how Tan Hongru will treat him when he goes to Deyang. Remember Last time, I almost couldn't come back.
Xu Lin pointed at Zhao Chuxi and said with a smile, "Then let's take a trip to Longtan and Tiger's Den."
The next morning, Zhao Chuxi, Xu Lin and others set off. It took less than an hour from Mianyang to Deyang, so Zhao Chuxi was already having lunch on the street in Deyang. Zhou Yi and Ma Chengcai were walking on thin ice. After all, this was Tan Hongru In the base camp, there was no guarantee that Tan Hongru, who was in a panic, would do something retaliatory. Whoever let Zhao Chuxi in front of him in southern Sichuan made him lose face.
This restaurant is located on Zhujiang East Road, very close to the Pacific International Hotel where they stayed. I heard that Tan Hongru and Wu Ye often live in this hotel, and they are frequent customers here. They are all Deyang local specialties, such as Guanghan silk-wrapped rabbit and Luojiang bean chicken. Zhao Chuxi likes to try the specialties everywhere he goes. He only came here after asking the hotel staff. It seems that the staff is also a foodie.
"What are you worried about? Although this is Deyang, Tan Hongru in broad daylight can still do anything to me. If he dares to touch me, the end result is that both sides will suffer. It's okay, just eat." Zhao Chuxi saw Ma Chengcai's cautious look, Said angrily.
Zhang Chao was also a little worried. It was rare to go out with Zhao Chuxi, and he had to be afraid of accidents. This job was really not easy. He shook his head and said, "I have made an appointment to see the leaders of Deyang City, the leaders of the municipal party committee at two o'clock, and the leaders of the city government at four o'clock. The dinner is arranged by the city government, who will attend has not been determined.”
"Some people will definitely avoid suspicion and not participate. From this, you can see who is close to Tan Hongru and who has little relationship with Tan Hongru. This is not a way." Xu Lin's thinking is very divergent, and bad things can always be thought of as good things , These people seemed to be jealous of Tan Hongru, and then they didn't give Zhao Chuxi face, but they were actually helping Zhao Chuxi.
Zhao Chuxi said cheerfully, "What Old Xu said, we are here not only to talk about some serious business, but also to test the waters. I didn't expect to gain much. Let's just come out and relax."
"This Guanghan silk-wrapped rabbit is pretty good, everyone should try it." Xu Lin said with a smile, and then whispered, "It seems that someone is watching us outside."
Zhao Chuxi held the vegetables between his hands and looked outside calmly from the corner of his eye. Someone was secretly staring at them. Zhao Chuxi shook his head and said, "It's okay, just eat. They don't dare to mess around."
Naturally, there were Tan Hongru's people outside. Ever since they learned that Zhao Chuxi was going to Mianyang, they had been watching Zhao Chuxi all the time. When they returned to Deyang in Chengdu, they thought that Zhao Chuxi would return to Chengdu after going to Mianyang, but he didn't expect that Zhao Chuxi would dare to come to Deyang.
After lunch, Zhao Chuxi and the others went back to the hotel to rest, preparing to meet with the leaders of Deyang City in the afternoon...
In the past two days, not only Tan Hongru has been in Deyang, but Qu Wende has also returned to Deyang. Since Tan Hongru has been involved in this incident, as the Qu family who has a lot of business in Demian and Miancheng, it is naturally involved, so Qu Wende had to Come back and take care of things.
As for Zhao Chuxi's movement, he has been paying attention to it all the time. Based on his understanding of Zhao Chuxi, he knows that Zhao Chuxi will not let go of such an opportunity, so it is not surprising to hear that Zhao Chuxi is going to Mianyang. From Mianyang to Deyang, Qu Wende couldn't help admiring him, he dared to enter the tiger's den, he was courageous.
Finally, he no longer stays in the old house all day. The fifth master is in a good mood recently. He wanders around the city of Deyang every day, meeting those old guys who have known him for many years, drinking tea and reminiscing about the old days, but not much chatting For other things, Fifth Master knew that he was dying, and it was up to God to live for a few more years, so it was rare for these old friends to see each other.
In the evening, after having dinner and drinking tea with the two old guys, Master Wu went back to the old house by car. Because there were juniors there, Qu Wende also accompanied him. After all, Qu Wende had been in this circle for many years.
"Father, Zhao Chuxi is in Deyang right now, and he is probably socializing with the city leaders at the moment." On the way back, Qu Wende finally said, because he was afraid of outsiders, he didn't dare to mention this, the driver was Yao Muren, so Qu Wende had nothing to worry about .
Fifth Master opened his half-closed eyes, and said unexpectedly, "When did he come, he dared to come to Deyang, this young man is quite courageous."
"I went to Mianyang two days ago, and I arrived in Deyang at noon today. I think he has other intentions. He probably wants to take advantage of this incident to suppress Tan Hongru." Qu Wende understood it very well, so he said it very straightforwardly.
Fifth Lord rubbed the jade ring finger in his hand. This piece of jade ring finger was bought from a tomb robber when he was young. It is said that it came from the tomb of the prince of the Han Dynasty. No matter who has worn it, it is undeniable that this A piece of jade finger ring brought him good luck. Since then, his life has changed, and he has skyrocketed [-] miles to the position he is today.
"This incident has nothing to do with him. Naturally, he can target Tan Hongru without any scruples, but you have to be clear that our foundation is also in the two cities of Demian and Mian. It is very likely that we will be injured by mistake. After all, the intricate relationship, Not everyone can figure it out," Fifth Lord reminded, in case Qu Wende was too happy and forgot about it.
How could Qu Wende not understand the meaning, and said in a deep voice, "Then father means, let me talk to Zhao Chuxi, and don't make a big fuss about this matter."
"Go and meet him first, see what he wants to do, and figure out what he means." Fifth Master said in a low voice, the old voice really made people think that this old man, who was dying, might collapse at any time.
Qu Wende nodded and said, "Well, after he returns to Chengdu, I will find another opportunity to meet him. Now that he is in Deyang, Tan Hongru must have sent someone to keep an eye on them."
"By the way, father, Zhao Chuxi and Situ Nan's men have already started to enter the suburbs below, but there is no big movement yet, what should we do?" Qu Wende almost forgot about this, and said quickly, most of his things I have to discuss it with the old man, after all, the old man is more experienced.
The old man shook his head and said, "Let them make trouble, don't care about these things, you have been staring at Mianyang recently, don't let the muddy water fall on us, I don't want to get old and run around for you"
"Don't worry, father, I think Tan Hongru is more anxious than we are. Xu Shouwang has been running to Chengdu, Mianyang." Qu Wende said disapprovingly. He didn't seem to think that they would have a big problem. He just smiled and watched Tan Hongru toss.
The old man said angrily, "You'd better keep an eye on it"
"Yes, yes, I know," Qu Wende said perfunctorily.
In Shangshui Mountain Villa, it was completely dark outside. Tan Hongru was enjoying the shade outside. Xu Shouwang hadn't come back yet. He had already called everyone who needed to be greeted and contacted everyone who needed to be contacted. Tan Hongru wanted to see Zhao Chuxi What can be tossed out.
After nine o'clock, Xu Shouwang finally came back. Tan Hongru asked anxiously after seeing him, "How is it, what's the situation?"
"It's about the same as what we thought. He must have been frustrated this time. During the day, he met many leaders of the municipal party committee and government, but at night, only the three deputy mayors attended the dinner in the city. Everything else was shirked." Xu Shouwang said in a low voice.
Tan Hongru was very satisfied and said, "It seems that everyone is still giving me Tan Hongru face. After all, we have known each other for so many years. If Zhao Chuxi wants to turn upside down in Deyang, he must have this ability."
"This time he should understand that this trick is not feasible," Xu Shouwang said in a rare mood.
Tan Hongru asked with great interest, "Where does he live?"
"Pacific International Hotel," Xu Shouwang replied.
Tan Hongru sneered and said, "Let's go, let's sit and wait..."
It looks calm now, but in fact, there are undercurrents hidden under the water. There are some things that neither Zhao Chuxi nor Tan Hongru can control. All they can do is follow the trend and prevent problems before they happen.
