Episode 34: Conspiracy

The officialdom in China has always been changeable and treacherous, and people who can achieve certain achievements in the ups and downs must have an intricate network of relationships behind them. Ling Long, who is well versed in his ways, knows very well the truth of seeing people at the wine table and talking about ghosts, and the great principle of Taoguang and self-preservation does not need to be repeated, and a momentary snubbing may become a reason to calculate you after others have soared, so Ling Long has always adhered to a principle: not to look down on anyone he has come into contact with.

Ling Long, an entrepreneur who has only met twice, does not dare to despise it, although the mainstream of Chinese society is the official standard, but this person has the key to whether Ling Long can go further in the future to a certain extent. The project of 1.5 billion yuan in tax revenue that year played a pivotal role in Jiu'an, an industrial county, and it is no exaggeration to say that if this investment promotion is completely successful, it is very likely that the county of Jiu'an will sing praises to the county magistrate for a long time.

But starting construction and completing operations are two different things, and anything can happen during the four-year construction cycle, and if this big pig is not fattened carefully, any mistake may turn his government directly from a name in history to a stench for thousands of years, which is a devastating consequence that no one can bear. Therefore, it seems that he picked up a windfall when he first arrived, but in fact, Ling Long is always walking on thin ice. The three mountains of land requisition and demolition, safe production and environmental protection put him under great pressure, but also made him full of fighting spirit.

Regardless of whether it is general or irreversible, a large part of the friendship between officialdom and businessmen is based on strength, and it is drunk from the wine glass. Lin Cangxi came suddenly this time, and Ling Long only temporarily regarded him as an act to open up the joints and connect feelings, if there is a follow-up move, then improvise, a person who can control a behemoth like Cangyuan, how can his mind be so easy to guess?

In just two hours, a few bottles of Hennessy bottomed out, and everyone at the table was a little drunk. Lin Cangxi is no longer as quiet as when he first came, and his words are a little more relaxed. The rest of the people secretly pondered the thoughts of the business giant, and on the surface they still had enough of a harmonious atmosphere. Executive Deputy County Magistrate Huang Yunxin's face was already full of redness, and the gaze cast on Lin Cangxi was even more sparkling, and the charm of a mature woman was like a mountain spring. Lin Cangxi occasionally replied to a burning gaze, and continued to pat each other with the characters present.

"Lin Dong will rush back to X City in a while, I don't dare to stay for a long time, why don't you get here here today, and have a chance to get together again another day?" Ling Long shook the glass of Chinese wine, and they had already abandoned the method of adding ice cubes to dilute it, and each cup was a real # gun live ammunition.

Lin Cangxi's face turned red, and he replied with a crisp clinking glass: "Where, I've been bothering you for too long." Lin has something to do tomorrow, find a chance another day, how about I invite you to come to a small gathering in Cangyuan?"

"Of course that's good, but I hope that one day Lin Dong can take some time to come to Jiu'an again and take a good walk, I Ling Long patted his chest and promised that you Cangyuan will definitely not look away if you choose here!"

The two smiled heartily, the banquet ended here, Lin Cangxi shook hands with the various officials of Jiu'an one by one and said goodbye, when it was the turn of Huang Yunxin at the end, he secretly scratched the woman's palm with his fingertips when shaking hands, Huang Yunxin giggled, everything was silent.

Ling Long and Lin Cangxi walked side by side in the front, and the rest of the people walked a short distance from them with interest, and when the two of them were half alone, Lin Cangxi asked in a low voice: "Did County Magistrate Ling's daughter just go to Yunan University to study?"

"Oh, Lin Dong knows a lot about the little girl. Ling Long raised his eyebrows, silent.

"Coincidentally, Gui Qianjin happened to come to Cangyuan this morning, and I heard that it was because of some student activity to attract sponsorship. It's a pity that I'm not in the company in the morning, otherwise I should have treated her well. ”

"The little girl is still a child, Lin Dong doesn't have to care about her. But speaking of which, this girl hasn't called home for a long time, and I didn't know she would ask for sponsorship?"

"County Magistrate Ling, I'm going to criticize you, you don't care enough about your daughter. At this age, children want to realize their self-worth, and it is certainly beneficial to participate in more student activities, and the support and praise of the father are very important. ”

"Lin Dongke must not take care of her anything, children should explore and exercise by themselves. But this girl really doesn't know the height of the sky, and she actually went to a company of your size to ask for sponsorship!"

"County Magistrate Ling misunderstood, Gui Qianjin didn't come to Cangyuan Headquarters, but just went to an ordinary small company in Cangyuan Building. But don't underestimate her, this kind of courage should be encouraged, people always have to try for the first time! Anyway, when will County Magistrate Ling take some time, bring your lady and daughter, how about we have a family party to get to know each other?"

Ling Long was drunk on the surface, but his head was unusually sober, and his ability to pretend to be drunk was not as good as he had been in the officialdom for so many years. It turned out that Lin Cangxi's previous tirade was just a foreshadowing for seeing Ling Qi, although Ling Long had some doubts in his heart, he was embarrassed to refuse. But what kind of interest can he have with a female college student, Ling Long suddenly thought of Lin Cangxi's son who had never shown up: "Lin Dong's son seems to be still studying in Canada, right? ”

"That stinky boy has finished his studies and is now doing a social internship, which will end soon. In the past few years, he has finally grown a little bit and has not let me worry about it anymore, anyway, as soon as he comes back, we will find a chance to get together. If he happens to enter the civil service one day, where can he miss this good ready-made master in front of him?"

"Lin Dong has won the award, and when Lin Gongzi returns from studying abroad, various companies must rush to ask for it. If you don't stay with such a good talent, why send him into the system?"

"His temperament is not suitable for business, so he will be sent to the government to sharpen his edges and corners first, and then he will get rid of some bookishness. If you can really get under the command of County Magistrate Ling, you have to take care of it more!"

"It must be, I am waiting for the good news of Lin Gongzi!"

"So let's do it, the meeting is scheduled for the end of next month, and then we will discuss how to do it. ”

"Very good, let's just say it, Lin Dong go slowly!"

Lin Cangxi said goodbye to the officials one by one and sat in his BMW 740 with a short body. It wasn't until he watched Lin Cangxi's taillights disappear at the intersection that Ling Long dismissed the people attending the dinner, and the driver, Xiao Zhang, obediently drove the newly equipped Camry No. 2 car and parked beside him. As soon as he got into the car, Ling Long's eyes instantly became sober, and he secretly thought: Lin Cangxi should just be here to contact the relationship and pave the way for subsequent investment, but why does he seem to be particularly interested in Ah Qi, can his son who is far away in Canada still take a fancy to my daughter? This is not justified at all......

Unable to think of a reason for a while, Ling Long simply gave up the idea of resting: "Xiao Zhang, don't go back to the dormitory first, send me to the office." Xiao Zhang nodded slightly and stepped on the accelerator.

The taillights of the BMW 740 drew a psychedelic afterimage at high speed, and the driver sitting in the front seat asked in a low voice: "Brother Lin, this time I came to Jiu'an to just talk about friendship with those court eagle dogs, right?"

"Da Liu, after following me for so many years, my knowledge and IQ should also grow a little, you can talk about it. Lin Cangxi played with a cigar in his left hand, but he didn't mean to light it.

The driver known as Da Liu was silent for a few seconds, and said tentatively: "Chen Qi's intention to win over Fang Xiyuan is already known to passers-by, but he is going from the black road, let's go from the white road." ”

Lin Cangxi's right hand tapped lightly on the armrest, but he didn't answer.

"Ling Long's daughter also appeared in the 'Screen' bar that day, and the relationship between the two is still very close, Brother Lin, you should want to save the country from here, right?"

There was an appreciative affirmation from the back seat, and Da Liu said even more excitedly: "For the people on the white road, it is still the one that is more reliable." As long as the informant who is installed continues to provide direct information about the interaction between Chen Qi, Fang Xiyuan, and Ling Long's daughter, we can make a fuss from this side according to the situation, and we can always go ahead of Chen Qi. ”

"That's basically the case, but there are informants everywhere, and Chen Qi has a lot of them around me. Lin Cangxi said leisurely, Da Liu subconsciously swallowed his saliva and stopped making a sound.

"Chen Qi's conspiracy certainly has his merits, but he is used to thinking from the perspective of the underworld, which is his biggest weakness. Sometimes, letting the opponent know our next move, but can only continue to follow the arranged route, such a conspiracy can have an unexpected effect, or even one stone - three birds. And I also found that there is a very suitable candidate for Ling Long's side, and this banquet is still an unexpected gain. ”

A burst of fire flashed in the back seat, and Lin Cangxi struck a match to light the cigar, extinguishing the fire and putting a delicate matchbox in his pocket.

"Cigars really need to be tasted, and lighting them with a lighter is too wasteful. Lin Cangxi took a deep breath, his face full of enjoyment.
