In the mid-80s, the officers and soldiers of the department were transferred to the Haidong Provincial Handover Office, and then transferred to the management of the Working Committee of Large Enterprises. Lu Zhongji, chairman of the board of directors of the company, first served as the head of the regiment in the engineering corps, and later handed over to the local area, as the general manager, after two restructurings, Lu Zhongji became the company's largest shareholder, five years ago, the company played the brand of the Chinese Science Group. After 40 years of development, the company has become a first-class enterprise of highway construction general contracting with comprehensive strength of highways, bridges, tunnel engineering, traffic engineering, earthwork mechanization engineering, mechanical equipment manufacturing, transportation, etc., with an annual comprehensive construction capacity of more than 1.5 billion yuan. Among several super-large highway construction enterprises in Haidong Province, Zhongke is not the most famous, but its strength will never lose to any party.

Pu Tiancheng has not dealt with this company too much, although he has heard of Lu Zhongji for a long time, but because he has no business relationship, he has no opportunity to get to know him. The first time I met Lu Zhongji, it was when Song Hanlin was governor, about the second year of Song Hanlin's tenure as governor, and Zhongke was planning the first restructuring to complete the transition from state-owned to private. One day, Song Hanlin asked Pu Tiancheng to accompany the guests to dinner, saying that there were several distinguished guests from Beijing. I went to find out that it was several leaders of the army who came, and the two Pu Tiancheng knew each other, and the others were all unfamiliar faces. However, they are no strangers to Pu Tiancheng, because he is the son of Pu Kequn, and those chiefs are polite to him, which makes Song Hanlin very face-saving. The treat that day was naturally Lu Zhongji, the two met for the first time, Lu Zhongji was decent, and under the introduction of Song Hanlin, he respectfully toasted three glasses of wine, and drank three glasses himself. In Pu Tiancheng's impression, Lu Zhongji at that time still maintained a military style, neat, crisp, and unambiguous, and even the toast was bold. The discussion at the dinner table that day was naturally about the restructuring of the Chinese science and technology, and the relevant plan had already been submitted to the province, but because it involved many sensitive issues, the province has not been able to express its position. In particular, the transfer of equity and the replacement of employee identities were also very sensitive in the province at that time, and some enterprises failed to carry out restructuring, causing many social problems. However, at the banquet that day, Song Hanlin had a resolute attitude and expressed his resolute support for the reform of the Chinese Science and Technology Corporation. Pu Tiancheng thought that this might be related to the attitude of several leaders, and the leaders did not hide it, and clearly supported Lu Zhongji, hoping that through the restructuring, he could loosen his bonds, let him travel lightly, and build this military industrial enterprise better. Tao Zhe was the only female guest at the table that day, she was still wearing a military uniform at that time, and she was a dancer of a song and dance troupe of a political department. Pu Tiancheng faintly felt that Tao Zhe seemed to have an unusual relationship with one of the chiefs, although Tao Zhe always called the chief's uncle, but women's eyes often leaked, the more secret the relationship, the more difficult it is for women to hide, and they may never be able to compare to men. But this kind of guessing is dangerous and extremely immoral, and if you get it wrong, it is not just your own mind. Pu Tiancheng just flashed in his mind, and he expelled that muddy thought. However, Tao Zhe still had a profound impact on him that day. When I saw Lu Zhongji again, Song Hanlin had already arrived at the Provincial Party Committee, and Pu Tiancheng had also become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Lu Zhonggene had a conflict with the local government for the construction of the expressway, and he couldn't coordinate it for a long time, so he found Song Hanlin here. Song Hanlin called Pu Tiancheng to go, because the disputed lot was in Jidong, Song Hanlin asked Pu Tiancheng to do work for Jidong, saying that he would give up some steps, all for the sake of development, and then say that the border high-speed repair, the biggest beneficiary is still Jidong. Pu Tiancheng accompanied Lu Zhongji to the scene, after two days of negotiation, Zhongke and Jidong reached an agreement, Jidong made a big concession, the three construction channels cut off by the farmers were reopened, Zhongke also made a compromise, in addition to increasing the compensation for the local farmers' land occupation, all the construction of raw materials, mortar, cement and stones, etc., can be purchased from the local as much as possible with the local area, so that the farmers have increased their income. But Pu Tiancheng knows in his heart that the real beneficiary is Zhongke, which has made a profit of at least 20 million yuan in this mediation, not including the benefits brought by eliminating interference and speeding up the construction period.

It was also after that time that Lu Zhongji gave Pu Tiancheng a problem. Not long after Pu Tiancheng returned to the province, Jin Yan suddenly called and said that someone had sent her a large sum of money and a suite. At that time, Jin Yan was still in Jidong, and it was later to send her to the Northeast. Pu Tiancheng was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly asked who the giver was, Jin Yan said that it was a man and a woman, and the woman's name was Tao Zhe, who claimed to be an old friend of Secretary Hanlin. As soon as he heard Tao Zhe, Pu Tiancheng became more and more nervous, and rushed to Jidong that night, and saw Jin Yan, Jin Yan couldn't tell what the man's name was, Pu Tiancheng described Lu Zhongji's appearance several times, Jin Yan said no, only that the man was straight, very handsome, and extremely tall, looking like a bodyguard. It's definitely not Lu Zhongji, Lu Zhongji is not yet universal, but who will it be? Asked the amount of money sent, Pu Tiancheng was really panicked, Tao Zhe actually gave Jin Yan two million at one time, a total of four cards, 500,000 on each card!

That money was difficult for Pu Tiancheng, and it was said that he would never be able to collect it, and he had to return it. It's not just that the amount is too big, the key is that Pu Tiancheng is afraid of Lu Zhongji. But those who have too deep roots, when dealing with them, they must pay more attention, this is the experience that Pu Tiancheng has summed up for many years, and the more people with deep backgrounds, the more they can not have financial exchanges, you can do things for him, do anything, but never take anything in return. Take it, and your hands will never be your own, but become a rake for others to hold money!

What if you don't take it, return it, to whom? Tao Zhe is very mysterious, and disappeared without a trace after sending it, and said that Jin Yan didn't know where she went, and even Pu Tiancheng was difficult to know her whereabouts. knew that this money was related to Lu Zhongji, but they didn't come forward at all, can Pu Tiancheng return it to Lu Zhongji? Later, when I thought about it again, the money became more and more irreversible, why did Lu Zhongji ask Tao Zhe to send it, and why did Tao Zhe tell Jin Yan clearly that she was a friend of Secretary Hanlin? Besides, how did Tao Zhe know about his relationship with Jin Yan, isn't there a Song Hanlin hidden in it?

Pu Tiancheng finally received the money!

This money has always been pressed on his heart, but fortunately, after that time, Lu Zhongji never looked for him again. As for Tao Zhe, Pu Tiancheng first heard some secrets about her and Song Hanlin, and then heard some statements from the army, it seems that someone is secretly accusing Song Hanlin, which means that Secretary Hanlin's hand is stretched out for a long time, and he is always moving cheese that should not be moved. Tao Zhe is no longer in the army, the chief who turned out to be very helpful to her died of cancer two years ago, Tao Zhe felt that staying in the army any longer, there was not much benefit, so he resolutely went into business. The rumors between her and Song Hanlin began to spread at that time. Once when he went to Beijing, Liu Jianying asked tactfully, and he was so frightened that Pu Tiancheng broke out in a cold sweat. However, Liu Jianying asked and asked, and did not delve into it, in fact, this kind of thing cannot be investigated, and the result is more terrible than no result, presumably Liu Jianying also knows this reason. Tao Zhe is not currently under Lu Zhongji, and has set up an import and export company by himself, and I heard that he is doing a good job.

Pu Tiancheng's previous attitude towards these rumors was that he would rather believe them than believe them. Now it is different, now it is better to believe in what it has than to believe in what it does not have. Because someone has already set their sights on Tao Zhe.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Zhongji came to the hotel, greeted Pu Tiancheng in a decent manner, and sat down. Pu Tiancheng asked Cao Xiaoan to pour water for the guests, and Lu Zhongji's assistant served them first. The assistant is in his thirties, and at first glance he is the kind of professional manager who is very literate. After pouring the tea, the assistant glanced at Cao Xiaoan, Cao Xiaoan got up with understanding, and went to his room with the assistant, leaving Pu Tiancheng and Lu Zhongji here.

"The governor came suddenly, is there something urgent?" Lu Zhongji does not dodge, he knows Pu Tiancheng, and he knows how to talk to Pu Tiancheng. In his mind, Pu Tiancheng is the best person to deal with, but also the most difficult person to deal with.

"There is an emergency, Jin Yan is dead." Pu Tiancheng is more straightforward. After speaking, his eyes darkened.

Lu Zhongji seemed to be stunned for a moment, a coldness slipped across his face, and he was silent for a long time, he said: "It turned out to be true, I thought I heard it wrong." He scolded again, "Bastard! "Fist slammed down on the couch.

"Someone asked him to know about the two million, as well as Tao Zhe." Pu Tiancheng followed and said, and after speaking, his eyes were fixed on Lu Zhongji's face.

"What two million?" Lu Zhongji seemed to be surprised.

Pu Tiancheng did not shy away: "Tao Zhe gave Jin Yan a sum of money back then, and there is a suite. ”

"The governor must have made a mistake, I never heard of this, it must be Jin Yan joking, how could Tao Zhe send her money, isn't that harming her? It's possible to send a few good clothes. ”

"Really mistaken?"

"Don't believe this kind of thing, the governor, there is no shadow. Tao Zhe himself is short of money to spend, how can he have spare money to give to others, and he borrowed millions from me some time ago, saying that it is a turnover. ”

"Oh." Pu Tiancheng moved his body, this dumb riddle made him reassured, the two million will no longer exist from now on, and will float away like the wind. These are the rules, and only by understanding these rules can you make your career bigger. Lu Zhongji can make Zhongke so far, almost no bidding every year, and he can get so many projects quietly, and the rules in his heart are definitely not limited to this.

But this is not the purpose of his coming, he came to Nanhuai, by no means to clear himself, no! The two million, even if they are found out in the future, they can't do anything to him, and this point is still grasped. Besides, now that Jin Yan is dead, who will have trouble with a dead person? Thinking of this, Pu Tiancheng's heart hurts, but it is also very hard, and sometimes, people rely on this kind of hardness to tide over difficulties. Officialdom teaches many things, and one of the most important is that when you should be ruthless, you must be ruthless. is so ruthless that even he feels cruel to be able to put many things right.

Pu Tiancheng is here to find the answer to the mystery, although Jin Yan is gone, he still doesn't believe that someone is looking for Jin Yan, just to get the handle of him and Song Hanlin, this is too simple, not like the game played by the other party, there must be other tricks in it.

"They've looked for me, too." Lu Zhongji said suddenly.

"What?" Pu Tiancheng was shocked by Lu Zhongji's words, and the other party looked for Lu Zhongji, which was incredible. Do they think that Lu Zhongji will defect?

"The vicious accident in the Dengjiashan Tunnel made some people restless, and you happened to go to the scene again, Governor."

"Dengjiashan Tunnel?" Pu Tiancheng was surprised again, why didn't he connect the two?

Lu Zhongji got up, walked a few steps in the room, and turned to face Pu Tiancheng: "Don't worry, the governor has nothing to do here, not now, and not in the future." It's the Dengjiashan Tunnel, I hope the governor will pay more attention, since some people are afraid, it proves that there must be a lot of famous halls inside, but unfortunately the strength of the base is limited, and it can't help the governor find out the inside story. However, what needs to be done in the base, the governor only instructs, and the center will definitely go all out. Zhongke has developed to the present, and I am most grateful to you the governor and the old secretary of Hanlin, without you, Zhongke would not be able to go today. I, Lu Zhongji, am by no means the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, let alone betrays his promise. ”

Pu Tiancheng stared at Lu Zhongji in distraction, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly laughed and said: "Zhongji, I didn't come in vain this trip, thank you!" ”

"The governor is too polite, it should be Zhongji thank you, don't worry, Zhongji and Zhongke will only put gold on your face, and will never become a burden to the governor." As he spoke, he handed over a card, "This time Zhongji can't entertain the governor, please understand, next time, next time Zhongji will give you a happy banquet for the governor." ”

"Okay, waiting for your happy feast." Pu Tiancheng said, resolutely pushing the card towards Lu Zhongji.

Lu Zhongji said: "The governor is more attentive again, this card is the same as me, and he won't talk nonsense." Take out the things and let Zhongji take them back, and Zhongji won't want to do anything again in the future. Seeing Pu Tiancheng hesitate, he lowered his voice and said, "I don't mean anything else, I'm sad about Xiao Yan, I'm really sad, I can't show anything to her, this little bit of affection, please transfer it to Xiao Yan's family, how can I say that she is also for me......" Lu Zhongji choked his throat, couldn't say it anymore, and real tears flowed from his eyes.

Pushing it again, Putian achievements are a little unbearable. Many times the gift is received like this, in fact, the gift is sometimes a way to deepen the relationship, such as now, this unexpected card has brought him closer to Lu Zhongji's relationship.

Leaving Nanhuai, Pu Tiancheng had a clear answer in his heart, someone was looking for Jin Yan, the purpose was not only to deal with him and Song Hanlin, but more importantly, to investigate Lu Zhongji's Zhongke Group. The purpose of investigating the Zhongke Group is to find "allies" for the Dahe Group. In the construction of the expressway, Zhongke Group has also had major liability accidents and deaths, and the nature of the accident is similar to that of the Dengjiashan Tunnel. The other party did this because he wanted to use the Zhongke Group to seal his mouth!

The other party was afraid, afraid that he would make a fuss about the Dengjiashan Tunnel, and even more afraid that he would take advantage of the major accident of the Dengjiashan Tunnel to stir up something else.

Pu Tiancheng had a smile on his face. Since the other party is so afraid, it proves that the people who died in the Dengjiashan tunnel are by no means the six in the accident report, and the facts that have been concealed are by no means those in his possession. Thinking so, he took out the phone and called Huang Yong, the mayor of Jidong, directly, and asked Huang Yong to drive to the provincial capital immediately to see him on important matters.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when I met Huang Yong. After returning to the provincial capital, Pu Tiancheng first went to see Fang Nanchuan, and Fang Nanchuan called him on the way and asked him where he was and why there was no one in the office. Pu Tiancheng lied, saying that he was not feeling well and was given an injection in the hospital. Fang Nanchuan was nervous, and hurriedly asked him if it mattered. Pu Tiancheng said that there is no big problem, ** sick, and it will be fine with a hanging injection. Fang Nanchuan hesitated for a moment and said, "There is something I want to discuss with you, if you don't want to change the day, you can check it carefully." Suddenly, he remembered something, "Secretary-General Xiao An is with you, do you want to send someone over again?" Pu Tiancheng said politely: "Secretary Cao is by your side, thank you Governor." After answering the phone, Pu Tiancheng was really worried that Fang Nanchuan would send someone over again, and going to Nanhuai was originally hiding from everyone, including Fang Nanchuan, if the people in the office made a flaw, some people would be even more unstable. He asked the driver to speed up and hurried back to the province.

In addition to continuing to promote the construction of thermal power bases, and accelerating the construction of a number of 600,000 kilowatts, one million kilowatts of large-capacity, and high-parameter thermal power units centered on the three major thermal power clusters in the province, such as Jidongnan, Haizhou North, and Guanghuaixi, it is also necessary to greatly increase the proportion of units with more than 300,000 kilowatts in the installed capacity of thermal power. The province will devote its efforts to the development of combined heat and power central heating in provincial municipalities, accelerate the development of renewable energy sources such as wind energy, biomass energy, and solar energy, increase the proportion of clean and efficient electricity, and actively promote the construction of nuclear power projects, and strive to be included in the national construction plan. After Qiao Ruoxuan arrived at the power investment, she discussed it many times, refined the plan on the original basis, and discussed it with the National Development and Reform Commission many times. The first few times the plan was presented to Fang Nanchuan, Fang Nanchuan didn't express his position, Qiao Ruoxuan still complained in front of Pu Tiancheng for this, I didn't think that Fang Nanchuan was full of interest on this day, saying that this plan was very inspiring, and asked Pu Tiancheng to immediately preside over an expert meeting to demonstrate, and if the argument is passed, they will run separately, and this time it must be included in the national construction plan.

Pu Tiancheng said unnaturally: "I'm not presiding, okay, do you want to change the leader?" ”

"Why?" Fang Nanchuan asked.

"The plan was proposed by Power Investment, and my wife proposed it for her husband to approve it, and others would have opinions."

"What are you talking about, you are husband and wife at home, and when you get to work, you will perform your own duties, and I don't worry about leaving this matter to others, so you will preside over it." Fang Nanchuan said without hesitation.

Pu Tiancheng hesitated for a moment and said, "That's okay, it's best that the governor can also participate then." ”

After the work was talked, Pu Tiancheng looked at his watch, and it was already 6:20 p.m. Fang Nanchuan asked him if he would go home, and Pu Tiancheng said that he would go home alone, so it was better for me to invite the governor to have a light meal.

"Okay, it's rare for you to be so proactive." Fang Nanchuan grabbed the phone as he spoke, and notified a few people in succession, saying that Governor Pu had taken the manuscript fee and wanted to invite everyone. When he arrived at the place, Pu Tiancheng found that the people called by Fang Nanchuan were all close to him on weekdays, and of course, these people are now the backbone of Fang Nanchuan's side. At this point, Pu Tiancheng was very moved. However, Fang Nanchuan called Li Yuan, secretary general of the provincial party committee, and it still made Pu Tiancheng think about it for a while.

Li Yuan was also a little surprised, he was not very comfortable at first, but on this day Fang Nanchuan was extremely enthusiastic, without the majesty of the governor at all, as soon as he was easy-going, the atmosphere rose, Fang Nanchuan took the initiative to drink, and when it came to Haidong, he had not drunk with everyone lively, and today he broke the vow, and he took the lead in drinking. As a result, Li Yuan was drunk, and there was a vice governor who was about the same. Pu Tiancheng was worried about Huang Yong in his heart, and he didn't dare to be greedy for wine, Fang Nanchuan took the initiative to relieve him, saying that Governor Pu had just been injected with a hanging needle, so he couldn't drink more, just two glasses with each person.

When he said this, Fang Nanchuan's tone was strange, and his eyes were a little special, as if he was making fun of him. Pu Tiancheng's heart pounded a few times, is it?

Fortunately, Fang Nanchuan didn't say much, and the topic returned to wine. Pu Tiancheng's heart gradually calmed down, and he thought that Fang Nanchuan should have no reason to suspect him. However, Fang Nanchuan's performance that day still surprised him, and it seemed that he suddenly made a 180-degree turn. But when you think about it, you can see that there is a reason for this change.

Fang Nanchuan may be about to make a difference, or rather, Fang Nanchuan is going to make his voice heard in Haidong.

I hope so!

At ten o'clock in the evening, Pu Tiancheng rushed to the Guangming Building, and Huang Yong had been waiting in the building for more than three hours.

Pu Tiancheng called Huang Yonglai, of course, it was a matter of the Dengjiashan Tunnel. Huang Yong has been obsessed with this matter, and for a while he wanted to stubbornly poke this matter out, but Pu Tiancheng severely stopped him, criticizing him for being politically immature and self-willed, and he was still impulsive when he got to this position. Huang Yong had no choice but to give up and never mention the Dengjiashan Tunnel again.

didn't think that Pu Tiancheng would mention it again on this day, and he asked Huang Yong to do his best to find out the truth about the Dengjiashan No. 2 tunnel accident.

"You must pay attention to the ways and means, find the outsourcing captain named Xu Youfu, he should know the inside story best."

"I understand this, please rest assured that the task will be completed." Huang Yong seemed to have come to his strength suddenly.

"Don't say it's so easy, everything must be considered first, if this matter can be easily investigated, it will not be covered up by others." Pu Tiancheng admonished with a warning.

Huang Yong swore that "as long as it is the truth, it will not be covered up." ”

"Be cautious, you know? In addition, if you need help, you can find Comrade Lin Guofeng, the Political and Legal Committee. ”

"Him?" Huang Yong frowned.

Pu Tiancheng said heavily: "You have to believe in Comrade Guofeng and have a good relationship with him." ”

Huang Yong was stunned for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, the governor doesn't remind me, I haven't dared to talk to him." ”

Huang Yong didn't know that Lin Guofeng had brought an investigation report about the truth about the Dengjiashan No. 2 tunnel accident a week ago, which involved a lot of secrets, some of which shocked Putian Chengdu. Pu Tiancheng now suspects that the other party's sudden measures may be related to Lin Guofeng's investigation. Since the other party wants a showdown, Pu Tiancheng doesn't want to play hide and seek anymore, so everyone simply finds it clear.

But Pu Tiancheng never expected that just when he was strategizing to try to contain the other party, another terrible thing happened, Wang Jingyu, the mayor of Guanghuai, had an accident and was suddenly shuanggui by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
