The resplendent three-storey villa, the azure swimming pool, the soft green lawn, and the dazzling night view of Victoria Bay can be seen faintly in the distance.

Only by being in the middle of it can you understand that in Hong Kong, the luxury houses in the mid-levels of Weishenme are so sought after by the rich, and they have almost become a watershed between the upper class and the ordinary rich.

In the small banquet hall with dazzling utensils, Zhu Wentong set up a banquet to entertain Wang Husheng, Lu Zheng and Gao Yanyan.

The dishes are all Shanghai home-cooked dishes, so that the chef's skills are more shown, a simple garlic lettuce, the heat of the garlic paste, the texture of the lettuce, as soon as you put it in your mouth, you can clearly feel the difference from the restaurants outside.

Zhu Wen and the three ladies were all there, which made Gao Yanyan smack her tongue secretly.

The Marriage (Amendment) Ordinance 1970 was only introduced in Hong Kong in 1971, ending the era of Hong Kong men taking concubinage and repudiating wives in accordance with the Qing Dynasty Statutes, abolishing the concubinage system and replacing it with monogamy.

But before 71 years ago, concubines still recognized their legal wife status according to the 70 Marriage Ordinance.

Zhu Wentong's three wives are all the legal wives of Zhu Wentong, who are protected by Hong Kong law.

The three ladies are half-old, but the charm is still there, gestures, and slow talk, and you can vaguely appreciate their demeanor back then.

When it was time to eat, the second lady and the third lady avoided it, leaving the eldest lady to accompany the guests to dine. If it weren't for the visit of Zhu Wen and his childhood friend today, the three ladies would not have appeared at the same time, in fact, in the past few years. In the outside world, it is already difficult to see the scene of the three ladies together.

Lu Zheng didn't talk much, just listened to Zhu Wentong and Wang Husheng reminiscing about the past eventful years.

However, Gao Yanyan interjected from time to time and led the topic to the development of Wushan, fortunately, Zhu Wentong did not seem disgusted, but asked about the situation of Wushan with interest.

Gao Yanyan naturally flirted with her tongue and blew the prospect of the Wushan High-tech Jishu Development Zone into a daze. The light of wisdom flashing in Zhu Wentong's eyes made Lu Zheng know that Gao Yanyan's careful thinking must have nothing to hide in Zhu Wentong's eyes.

But Zhu Wentong just smiled and listened, and he didn't feel the slightest dissatisfaction because this yellow-haired girl was getting an axe in front of him.

Lu Zheng couldn't help sighing in his heart, Zhu Wentong is really a good culture, and he is a good city.

Speaking of which, in the shopping mall in his previous life, Lu Zheng fought with the Zhu family, and the main object of the fight was the representative sent by the Zhu family to open up the mainland market, Zhu Mingze, the eldest son of the Zhu family.

The result is self-evident, Lu Zheng, who exuded a dark aura from his bones in his previous life, almost devoured Zhu Mingze alive by virtue of the advantage of his home field.

Even, Lu Zheng also possessed Zhu Mingze's third-level star mistress, just to satisfy the sense of glory of completely defeating the eldest young master of the Zhu family.

Zhu Mingze is actually a very kind person, and now that I think about it, I am really sorry for him.

In my previous life, I was harmed by others, but in the same way, I also harmed many people.

Therefore, if it is not necessary to live again, it is not necessary to repay the hatred of the previous life, after all, these deep hatreds have not happened in this life.

To avoid the tragedy of yourself and your family from happening again, and to do your best for the rise of your family, is what you should do now.

Therefore, whether it is Gao Zhikai or Yang Chaoyang, although they hate them from the bottom of their hearts, they never regard them as objects of revenge.

It's just that with the passage of time, it seems that the hatred between himself and them is really the enmity of the ninth generation, and it is destined to live again, and it can't be resolved, perhaps, sooner or later, it will be a life-and-death result.

So, what about Zhu Mingze? Will you still be your opponent in this life?

Hopefully, something will change, right? In his previous life, he had already hurt him badly, but in this life, I am afraid that he has no chance of winning, and it is really meaningless to bully such an honest person.

"Mr. Lu, why haven't you spoken?" Zhu Wentong's eyes suddenly fell on Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "Today, I will bring a pair of ears and eyes, the chairman will be able to enlighten me, in front of you, I should hide it and talk less." ”

Zhu Wentong glanced at Lu Zheng deeply, but he couldn't see what this young man was thinking, and he didn't know Weishenme, he always felt that this young man seemed to be an opponent of equal weight, not some young official from the mainland who came to visit him.

Zhu Wentong shook his head, wondering in his heart, could it be that he is really old? Lately, hallucinations have been getting more and more.

……

When I came back from the Zhu family's mansion in the middle of the mountain, it was about ten o'clock in the evening, and along the way, Gao Yanyan, who was sitting in the Lincoln car, was extremely excited, talking about the luxury of the Zhu family's wealthy family.

A woman, no matter what status she reaches, is still a woman.

Wang Husheng was still immersed in the nostalgia of the old days, touching a yellowed photo and muttering something in his mouth, this photo was given to him by Zhu Wentong, a group photo of a bunch of children of all sizes in the Shanghai alley, one of them was Wang Husheng.

Lu Zheng responded to Gao Yanyan's excited chatter with a smile, lest she be too boring.

Gao Yanyan had enough reason to be excited, because at the banquet, Zhu Wentong promised that he would come to Osan to invest, and his eldest son Zhu Mingze would soon go to Osan to inspect and evaluate the market. At the same time, Zhu Wentong verbally promised to invest in the construction of a highway between Beijing and Wushan, and the details would be coordinated with the relevant central authorities.

Lu Zheng pondered Zhu Wentong, it seems that the banquet for Wang Husheng is not just as simple as the friendship of the past, but mainly to prepare for the Yellow River Industry to enter the mainland market, and let out the rumors to see how the mainland regime will respond to him.

Back at the hotel, the three of them broke up in the lobby, Wang Husheng and Gao Yanyan went back to the room, and Lu Zheng went to have a cup of coffee.

When Lu Zheng took the elevator to the 12th floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, he saw Chen Sanshui standing outside, pacing anxiously.

"Director, let me tell you something." Chen Sanshui hurriedly greeted him.

Lu Zheng snorted: "Say." ”

"Still, let's go back to our room." Seeing that there were figures walking around in the corridor from time to time, Chen Sanshui hesitated slightly.

Lu Zheng nodded and walked back to the room.

In room No. 5, the smell of smoke is almost gone, this is a standard room with two beds, snow-white sheets, light blue carpet, it looks very neat and elegant, Lu Zheng and Chen Sanshui live in this room.

"Just now, He Hongmei called, looking for you......" As soon as he entered the room, Chen Sanshui was a little anxious but lowered his voice, and said very mysteriously.

"What? Qingtian released? Lu Zheng asked. Before leaving Wushan, there was a letter in the city bureau, Zhang Qingtian's case was basically characterized as a false accusation, and Niu Wu was formally arrested for multiple charges.

"She didn't say this, she just asked me to tell you that the central investigation team has come down, Director Yugong has been suspended, and the central government will continue to investigate his suspected violations of law and discipline." Although Chen Sanshui retold He Hongmei's original words, when it came to the suspension of Director Yugong, he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart, this is officialdom, no matter how powerful you once are, once you are ruthlessly eliminated, the turning point of fate is only an overnight moment.

And Chen Sanshui clearly knows that Director Lu's backer is Director Yugong, and everything in the officialdom is to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and Director Yugong is down, so Director Lu is afraid that his position will be embarrassing.

Lu Zheng was stunned, "Director Yugong was suspended?" ”

Chen Sanshui nodded affirmatively, "Yes, He Hongmei said it very clearly on the phone, it can't be fake." ”

Lu Zheng frowned and said, "How can you say these things on the phone?" Security and confidentiality work white training? ”

Chen Sanshui muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, sooner or later, I will see the newspaper." ”

"Haven't you seen the newspaper yet? If He Hongmei called again, tell her, don't talk about this. Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Take a bath and sleep!" He turned around and went into the bathroom.

Chen Sanshui sighed deeply, although Director Lu seemed to be fine on the surface, he was afraid that he would be particularly troublesome this time.

But think about it, it doesn't seem to be my own business, it's just that if someone else leads me, I'm just afraid that I'm not so convinced.

……

The next day, Lu Zheng could feel the subtle changes in the attitude of some cadres in the face of him, thinking that it was not only him, but also that he should have known that Director Yugong had an accident.

Lu Zheng was silent, and he no longer chatted with other cadres as before, his identity was sensitive, so he wanted to avoid suspicion.

He just silently performed his duties as the deputy head of the delegation step by step, holding various promotion meetings and press conferences, meeting with wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong, and dealing with various media ......

However, the political situation in Osan has attracted the attention of the Hong Kong media, and first, the mainland government delegation that has carried out the propaganda in Hong Kong is from Oshan; Second, the central government of the mainland has directly intervened in the reshaping of the power structure at the municipal level, the last time in Shenzhen.

Lu Zheng learned about the changes in Oshan's political climate through the media in Hong Kong.

Duan Zhongzhong, secretary of the municipal party committee, was temporarily removed from his post for other purposes; Mayor Huang Mingtai was transferred to the deputy director of the Department of Agriculture in a remote province in the northwest.

The pattern of the troika in Osan City has completely become history.

The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee directly appointed Duan Zhongyuan, former director of the Regional Economic Development Department of the State Development Planning Commission, as a member, member of the Standing Committee, and secretary of the Wushan City CPC Committee, and nominated him as a candidate for mayor.

The Hong Kong media's interpretation of this is that the central government has placed high hopes on the development of the Osan High-tech Jishu Development Zone and Oshan, and is extremely dissatisfied with the power struggle in Oshan, and still does not want to affect the overall development of Osan in the future because of personnel dumping.

The day before the Osan economic and trade delegation left Hong Kong, the Hong Kong media reported again that the Wushan City Advisory Committee was banned by the central authorities, and it was said that the No. 1 Central Committee had expressed its stance that the existence of an advisory committee in the special economic development area would do more harm than good, and that the Wushan City Advisory Committee had been abolished. The former member of the Standing Committee of the Wushan Municipal Committee of the Municipal Committee of Concern entered the Provincial Committee of Concern as a member, and the former member of the Committee of the Former Committee of the Wushan City Committee was properly placed by the Bureau of Veteran Cadres of the Wushan Municipal Party Committee.

When he saw this news, Chen Sanshui couldn't describe his feelings, Director Yugong fell, and the Municipal Advisory Committee was banned again, which was simply the most cruel blow to Director Lu Zheng, because Director Lu Zheng was born in the Municipal Advisory Committee, and it is said that many old cadres are optimistic about him, which is also Director Lu Zheng's most valuable network of contacts, and now, everything is gone.

Even, Chen Sanshui deliberately distanced himself from Lu Zheng, not for anything else, he was afraid that he would can't help but show sympathetic glances when facing Director Lu Zheng, this kind of gaze is what Director Lu Zheng doesn't want to see now, right?
