Knowing that Lai Xiaohu turned out to be a person from the business capital of Henan Province, Secretary Shi immediately had a cordial feeling for Lai Xiaohu, although Secretary Shi himself was not from Henan Province, but Henan Province was the beginning and take-off place of his officialdom. From Xiao Ding, a member of the officialdom at the beginning of the year, to the feudal official when he was transferred out last year, Secretary Shi stayed in Henan Province for almost 26 years. It can be said unceremoniously that he has stayed in Yu Province for longer than he has been in his hometown, and there is no problem at all in treating Yu Province as Secretary Shi's second hometown.

In this case, Secretary Shi met a person from Henan Province here, it was like a person who saw his fellow countryman in the field, although the two people did not know each other, but when the two people knew that each other was a fellow countryman, they would have a sense of intimacy with each other for the first time.

After establishing this intimacy with Secretary Shi, Lai Xiaohu and Secretary Shi talked much more casually, and there was also a sense of cordiality in and out of the words. After chatting together for about half an hour, the two finally got to the point of today.

After pouring a cup of tea for Secretary Shi, Lai Xiaohu said, "Secretary Shi, in fact, I came to you today to ask for something. ”

"Oh?" Secretary Shi was slightly stunned, "I don't know what it is, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help when the time comes." ”

"Of course, there is no problem for Secretary Shi in this matter, and if this matter is done, it will not only be beneficial to me, but even Secretary Shi will be able to get a lot of benefits."

After listening to Lai Xiaohu's words, Secretary Shi thought that Lai Xiaohu was going to bribe himself, and his face immediately became a little unhappy. was able to be transferred from Yu Province to Guanxi Province, and was also used by the upper leaders to suppress Governor Hong, Secretary Shi had undergone a comprehensive investigation before taking office, and it can be said unceremoniously that Secretary Shi Lei Shi did not think that he had not accepted other people's small favors. However, he never accepted more valuable items, and he completely put an end to accepting bribes. Therefore, if Lai Xiaohu has any difficulties, if he does not break the law, Secretary Shi will definitely be able to help. But if this matter involves the scope of the violation, then Secretary Shi has to find a way to refuse. Just like now, after listening to Lai Xiaohu's words, Secretary Shi's first reaction was to estimate that this Lai Xiaohu was going to bribe himself, because Lai Xiaohu was introduced by Li Gan, so Shi Lei also knew that he couldn't directly refuse Lai Xiaohu. In that case, it will definitely make the relationship between the two people stiffen immediately, and then it may also affect the relationship between himself and Li Gan and even the Li family. Although Shi Lei is an honest official, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the way to be an official, otherwise he wouldn't have come to this point.

Lai Xiaohu didn't know what Shi Lei was thinking at this moment, otherwise he would definitely have to secretly scold himself for having a problem with his speech. So after saying the sentence just now, Lai Xiaohu paused. continued: "Don't hide it from Secretary Shi. Actually, I came to you this time completely for Governor Hong. ”

"What?" Lai Xiaohu's words immediately surprised Shi Lei, he didn't expect Lai Xiaohu to fly towards Hong Yun at all. Even if Lai Xiaohu asked him for contact or something to ask for, it was expected, but what he didn't expect was that Lai Xiaohu was looking for himself for Governor Hong. So when he heard Lai Xiaohu's words, Shi Lei had to be surprised, what did Lai Xiaohu want to do?

Seeing Secretary Shi's surprised look, Lai Xiaohu also knew that he had to explain it quickly. Then he said, "Here's the thing. This matter also involves a businessman named Gu Gang, Secretary Shi has been in Kansai Province for a while, I believe you must know who that Gu Gang is. ”

"Well, I still know this Gu Gang." Shi Lei nodded. After coming to Kansai Province, in addition to the colleagues he knew, the first person he heard was that Gu Gang, who is now the most successful businessman in the entire Kansai Province, and more importantly, he heard that he had a close relationship with his opponent Hong Yunfei.

"That Gu Gang has a son named Gu Jianfeng, a standard gentleman. When he was in our school, he kidnapped a girl from the school, and that incident ended up implicating me. I didn't do it, of course I'll have to find out. So I worked with Li Jing, a policeman in Jincheng, to arrest Gu Jianfeng. Soon, Lai Xiaohu talked about the relationship between himself and Gu Jianfeng, Gu Gang and others, of course, focusing on how Gu Jianfeng was a gentleman, and how Gu Gang and the Director of the Martial Arts tried to suppress Li Jing. And in the end, he and Li Jing ran thousands of miles to Shensen County, Guanxi Province, and arrested Gu Jianfeng again, and also emphasized it.

"Therefore, unless Li Jing and I release that Gu Jianfeng, there will be no reconciliation between the words and Gu Gang. And Gu Gang, you can also find that he is not a good person, and he used dirty means to make profits when he was young. What's more important is that this person is as narrow-minded as his precious son, if Gu Jianfeng is really sentenced to decades by then, then it is very likely that I and the person named Li Jing will be retaliated against by Gu Gang. ”

"People who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, in order to avoid being preemptively retaliated by Gu Gang, I must pull Gu Gang before Gu Jianfeng is sentenced. Although this matter sounds a bit of a fuss, after all, it is about the comfort of myself and my family, and there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that I have to guard against it. What's more, this Gu Gang is not a good person, and if he is eliminated, he can also eliminate harm for the people by the way. ”

After Lai Xiaohu finished speaking, Secretary Shi was silent for a while, and then said: "If this matter is really what you said, although the means you have taken are a bit radical and a bit of a fuss, I can still support you." Of course, although he said so, in fact, in his heart, Shi Lei almost completely supported Lai Xiaohu, so he should be because he is also a person who loves and hates clearly. He didn't know what happened to the guy named Gu Jianfeng, but since he could be said by Lai Xiaohu to be so unbearable, and the evidence was conclusive that he was arrested because of kidnapping, it must not be much better. Shi Lei believes that there is no wind and no waves, since Gu Jianfeng is so responsible, it must be somewhat problematic. If it is not easy to say about Gu Jianfeng's affairs Shi Lei, then Gu Gang's affairs Shi Lei can be completely determined.

It's been half a year since he came to Kansai Province, of course Shi Lei won't fail to get to know Governor Hong Yunfeihong who has been suppressing him, and as Gu Gang, who has a close relationship with Governor Hong, he must also keep enough attention. What Gu Gang did is actually not a secret at all, and there are many rumors about what Gu Gang did in Kansai Province. It's just that ordinary people can't have proof. But for Shi Lei, just based on these rumors, you can know that Gu Gang is not a good person. One or two people may still be malicious framed by Gu Gang, so if millions of people say this, then Gu Gang must have a problem.

After Shi Lei finished speaking, Lai Xiaohu smiled and said: "And you also know the relationship between Gu Ganggang and Governor Hong, I have inquired about it, the reason why Gu Gang was able to gain a firm foothold from Shensen County to the provincial capital and make his business bigger and bigger is because he climbed into the relationship with Hong Yunfei, who was still the director of the Xijing City Public Security Bureau at that time. And everyone saw what happened after that. Governor Hong's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and as for Gu Gang's business, it is also getting bigger and bigger, and now in the entire Kansai Province, no one dares to say that he is the first. ”

"If I deal with Gu Gang, he will definitely ask Governor Yu Hong for help at that time, although I Lai Xiaohu thinks that I still have some ability. But I am also self-aware, and I am an outsider who wants to suppress Governor Hong in Kansai Province. That's definitely not possible. So. This is the reason why I found Secretary Shi through Mayor Li, and I hope Secretary Shi can help me as much as possible at that time. Although this matter is my own business, I think it is also beneficial to the public, and it is not a good opportunity for Secretary Shi to open up the situation in Kansai Province. ”

Since Lai Xiaohu has said it so bluntly, Shi Lei has to seriously consider Lai Xiaohu's proposal, if he refuses. That, of course, is to remain as it is. And if he helps Lai Xiaohu and succeeds, then maybe it will indeed be able to play a great role at that time. As Lai Xiaohu said, this matter is not only his own business, but also good for the public if it is done. Especially for him. He can completely pass this matter through this matter Hong Yunfei's arrogance, and then take the opportunity to open up the situation in Kansai Province.

Shi Lei is a capable person, but Hong Yunfei has been operating in Kansai Province for too long, and he has long been made into an iron bucket here, and even when the previous secretary was in office, he only barely maintained a peaceful situation with Hong Yunfei. And when he came to himself, he also knew that he had snatched the position that Hong Yunfei valued, and the two of them had no possibility of even barely maintaining the peace situation. Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. In order to open up the situation in Kansai Province as soon as possible, Shi Lei gritted his teeth and said directly to Lai Xiaohu: "Okay." I said yes. ”

"Then I'll thank Secretary Shi for his support here, and then wish us a victory." After receiving Shi Lei's affirmative reply, Lai Xiaohu was overjoyed, and with Shi Lei's help, he had almost succeeded by one-third.

After that, the two talked together again and then left, Shi Lei couldn't leave the office for too long, so he had to go back after almost that. However, on the way back, Shi Lei was obviously much more relaxed than a while ago. Today's events were a complete surprise for him. I thought it would be a nuisance, but I didn't expect it to turn out to be a good thing. Thinking of the possible retraction after the success of this matter, Shi Lei laughed directly, although this matter has not yet started to operate, but Shi Lei has enough confidence in Lai Xiaohu. Of course, this confidence is not generated for Lai Xiaohu, but for Li Gan behind Lai Xiaohu, and it should be said that he has enough confidence in Li Gan and the Li family. With the relationship between Lai Xiaohu and Li Gan, if Lai Xiaohu asks for help at that time, it will be absolutely impossible for Li Gan or the Li family to sit idly by. And once the Li family intervened, Hong Yunfei would have little chance of winning against them.

What's more, in the end, what he discussed with Lai Xiaohu was not to pull Hong Yunfei down from the position of governor, because then it would threaten Hong Yunfei's fundamental interests. At that time, if Hong Yunfei does something that kills the fish and breaks the net, it will be troublesome. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, the two of them wanted to take Hong Yunfei's handle, and then threaten him to remain silent in Gu Gang's affairs, or give up some of their interests. In this way, when Lai Xiaohu came forward to bring down Gu Gang and the Gu family, Shi Lei was responsible for containing Hong Yunfei and receiving the benefits that Hong Yunfei had conceded.

This situation is equivalent to a compromise between the two sides, and as long as Hong Yunfei is in his right mind, there is a high possibility that he will choose this solution. Of course, if Hong Yunfei really doesn't compromise, then the two of them will be ready to fight a tough battle at that time.

Leaving the teahouse, Lai Xiaohu walked around outside. It was noon again, and this time Lai Xiaohu didn't go to Tang Gaoqiang. The main reason is that Lai Xiaohu is worried that he is looking for Tang Gaoqiang outside and will be easily discovered by his colleagues or others, and it will not be good if Gu Gang learns about it, not only will he startle the snake, but also may implicate Tang Gaoqiang and his family, especially the latter is something that Lai Xiaohu definitely does not want to see.

found a small restaurant casually, after Lai Xiaohu ate a bowl of noodles and a side dish, he drove to the Guanxi Provincial Government and got Secretary Shi, Lai Xiaohu's next plan was to monitor Hong Yunfei and them. On the one hand, it is necessary to find out the pattern of their actions, and on the other hand, to see if we can find some tricks about them.

The last time Lai Xiaohu came, he had mixed in with the past once, but this time in order to avoid being recognized, he didn't take the risk. Instead, he found a more private place and parked the car there, and then sat in the car alone and kept staring at the door.

To be honest, marking people is a time-consuming thing. However, Lai Xiaohu still has plenty of time now, and he has nothing else to do. So I'm just waiting here. Of course. He is not fighting alone, in addition to Father Tang promising to find out the news for him, Shi Lei, who met this morning, also promised to help Lai Xiaohu as much as possible.

After waiting at the door for a few minutes, Lai Xiaohu saw Hong Yunfei come out of the building with several people, and after getting in a car, they left the government compound and walked outside. And Lai Xiaohu saw this situation and slowly started the car. Far from behind.

But it didn't take long for them to stop in front of a hotel, and after a group of people entered the hotel, Lai Xiaohu quickly locked the car and followed.

"Sir. Are you eating or? The waitress who thought she was beautiful appeared in front of Lai Xiaohu, looked at Lai Xiaohu who was looking around in the aisle and asked.

"Oh, let's eat," Lai Xiaohu glanced at the waitress, and Lai Xiaohu solemnly pointed to a room next to the room where Hong Yunfei and they had entered just now and said, "Just arrange that room." ”

Entering the room, Lai Xiaohu got the menu and ordered a few more expensive dishes, sent the waiter out, and then quickly stood up and put his ear to the opposite wall and listened attentively. Lai Xiaohu originally planned to rely on his super hearing to see if he could hear the movement in the opposite room, but after listening, he found that he still overestimated his hearing, or that the sound insulation effect of this hotel is very good, and he can't hear anything at all.

The depressed Lai Xiaohu had to sit down and drink tea boringly, and then after the food he ordered came up, he ate a few bites from time to time.

After about an hour like this, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and Lai Xiaohu knew that the other party, Hong Yunfei, and they should have finished eating, so he quickly packed up his things and quietly opened the door to look at the movement outside.

After Hong Yunfei and the others entered the elevator, Lai Xiaohu immediately came out and took another elevator on the side, following them closely, and finally Lai Xiaohu returned to the provincial government and hid outside the door.

"Hey, it didn't work out well today." After waiting outside for a whole afternoon, Lai Xiaohu didn't see Hong Yunfei again, and when it was time to get off work, Hong Yunfei came out again, but at that time, he actually drove home directly.

Lai Xiaohu, who had found nothing, returned to Tang Gaoqiang early, Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing probably asked about Lai Xiaohu's effect, and then moved on to other topics. In the evening, the three of them did not eat at home, but went out to eat a barbecue.

Kansai Province is close to the northwest region, and the barbecue culture is also popular due to the influence of the eating habits of the ethnic minorities there. And the three of them are not taboo street food stalls, so they randomly found a barbecue stall near the community and had a beautiful dinner there.

"Hey, we haven't had a barbecue together in a long time." After eating, touching his round belly, Tang Gaoqiang said with a sigh.

As for Lai Xiaohu, he was thinking about something else, when he was eating barbecue just now, Lai Xiaohu suddenly thought that he couldn't sell meat products. Nowadays, people with wealthy families are not more affluent than before, in addition to vegetables, meat products are also a must. However, Lai Xiaohu's Lejia supermarket only provides vegetables, and there are no meat products. And tonight, he suddenly thought that he could use the energy crystal nucleus to improve vegetables, and he couldn't use the energy crystal nucleus to improve cattle and sheep and other animals.

"This one can really be tried." After going back, Lai Xiaohu thought in his heart.

The next morning, when Lai Xiaohu was going to spy on Hong Yunfei like yesterday, he suddenly received a call from Tang's father, in which Tang's father told Lai Xiaohu that he had just received the news that Governor Hong Yunfei and Hong had temporarily decided to go down to investigate today, and Tang's father was also one of the people who were asked to follow.
