"Hmph, there's a nest of snakes and rats, and he couldn't resist going!" Liu Quanyou kept a low profile when he visited Hong Tao in the New Seventh District. On Chuqiu's desk.
For this meeting, Chu Qiu was a little excited, even more nervous than Ran Di and Lu Ye Jiangnan went to visit Hong Tao.Even though Liu Quanyou is just an ordinary director and has no bullshit power in his hands, as a political enemy, the former second in command of the Revival Alliance has always been a big threat.
Back then, if Sun Jianshe hadn't been persuaded by himself to take the lead in making a statement, and even Jiao Qiao had raised his hand, it would have been a question of whether he would be able to take the position of chairman.The two biggest rivals met, and it was unreasonable not to pay attention to it.
"This is also expected. Liu Quanyou will not be able to play any role for the time being. The biggest trouble we face is the public trial. How about I go to see him again and see if I can use Niu Dafu's matter as a bargaining chip to let He no longer insists on a public trial.
It's really impossible to give up on Niu Dafu. Speaking of it, I blame this guy for being too impulsive. If I could have given the news in advance, I wouldn't have made things like this. It's really stupid! "
Seeing Chu Qiu's unfriendly expression, Gao Tian stood up from the sofa in the corner, walked over, picked up the report, flipped through it, gently put it back on the table, pondered for a while, and then put forward his own suggestion.
After a battle in court last time, he once again realized Hong Tao's difficulty and influence, and had to choose to avoid his edge under comprehensive balance.Once the public trial is really held according to the rules, the reformists will not only lose a fortune.
Although after the lid was lifted, it wasn't just the filth of the reformists that was exposed, the royalists were also not much clean.But if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. If the loss of strength is too great, the neutral faction represented by Ran Di, Lin Na, and Jiao Qiao will obviously become the biggest winner.
Instead of making the situation more complicated and uncontrollable, it's better to take a small step back first, let go of Hong Tao's big shit-stirring stick, and slowly figure out how to deal with it after everything has stabilized.Anyway, the reformists still have the upper hand at present, and there is no need to rush into an all-out confrontation because of the gains and losses of one city and one place.
"You still haven't figured out his nature. I used to be his tenant. Except for a few who had earlier feuds, the neighbors in the neighborhood were unwilling to offend him unless they had to.
It's not because he can fight, and it's not because he has a strong relationship. Once he wants to deal with someone, he will definitely use more than one move.If anyone falls into his rhythm, unless he is really able to see the sky, it will be difficult to get out no matter whether it is black or white.
This time he suddenly brought up the inheritance relationship and basic rules of the alliance, obviously not on a temporary basis.Since we lost the first game, we will face another round of combos later on, and we must get out of his routine to win! "
Not only Gao Tianyi is examining himself, Chu Qiu has not been idle these days.She was able to hold the position of the chairman of the alliance for two terms. In addition to her special status and very old qualifications, the necessary political acumen and skills are not too bad.
Especially when meeting such an opponent as Hong Tao, who is both familiar and unfamiliar, I understand the opponent's temperament better than anyone else, and the countermeasures formulated on this basis should be more reliable.
"Get out of the routine...you already have an idea?" Gao Tianyi didn't expect Chu Qiu to figure this out, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed an idea.
"Amnesty! It's not enough to rely on Niu Dafu as a bargaining chip. He has said more than once that no one in this world is worth his life. The reason why he put on a desperate posture is because he is worried that if he is found guilty, he will be punished." If the hozen scatter and lose their protective umbrella, they will definitely die in the labor camp.
I also figured it out. After all, he is the founder of the alliance and he has saved many lives. As long as he doesn’t dictate to us, he should be allowed to die.
He is right in saying that it is best not to involve your life in a political struggle. In this way, it seems more thorough in the short term, but in fact it is tantamount to forcing the opponent to fight to the end every time, and the gain outweighs the loss. "
What I have to say is that the officialdom really trains people. After ten years in politics, Chu Qiu has gradually transformed from an ignorant political rookie to a qualified politician. Some personal grievances.
"Amnesty... This is really a good way! Aqiu, you are getting more and more mature." Hearing this way, Gao Tian immediately petrified on the spot. Holding Chu Qiu's hand, I offered my heartfelt praise.
"It's not forced... This matter still needs to trouble you to go and talk to him privately. It's best not to spread the news before the public trial. That way both parties will be very passive. He should understand!"
Chu Qiu already had basic immunity to ordinary compliments, but she was heartily relieved when Gao Tianyi said it.However, this is not the time to celebrate the completion of the work. Negotiating with Hong Tao is a very worrying thing. I must not be able to come forward, so I can only leave it to Gao Tianyi.
"Husband and wife for one day, one hundred days of grace... Huh, don't worry, let's wait and see!" Gao Tianyi hurriedly left Chuqiu's office, a little irritable, took off his coat, and still didn't feel cool in just a T-shirt.
As the saying goes, a calm mind cools the mind. Although the weather in Beijing in early June has risen to [-] degrees, it is not hot after the sun goes down.He has a fire in his heart, jealous fire!
Marrying Chuqiu was only the first step for him to return to the leadership of the alliance. If it wasn't for power, who would want a yellow-faced woman in her early forties with a disability.How do you feel when you wake up in the middle of the night and suddenly find an iron hand next to you?
But Gao Tianyi's performance just now made Gao Tianyi alert.At this time, Chuqiu is no longer the isolated and helpless new chairman of the board of directors a few years ago, and she is also growing continuously. It is obviously not easy to get power by marriage.
What's more troublesome is that this woman didn't completely give up on Hong Tao, or she didn't hate Hong Tao to the bone, which was even more troublesome.Once that guy is allowed to return to the core of the alliance, even if he doesn't have a job, just relying on his mouth will probably cause a lot of uncertainty.
This is not a wild guess, no matter in the rescue team or the revival alliance, Hong Tao's female popularity must be recognized as the top, and he himself suffered from it. Even Zhou Yuan was bewitched to defect and became a political rival.
But this matter has to be done, and the most reliable way right now is amnesty.According to the rules of the alliance, those who have been pardoned will never be able to take up public or military positions again. Chu Qiu's move not only solved the trouble of public trials, but also cleared obstacles for the future.
"Go and call Ah Jing back immediately, and ask her to arrange for Jiang to go to the pasture in the north of the city immediately, and I'll wait there!" Thinking of this, Gao Tian walked quickly to his carriage, and whispered something to the driver.
Chapter 972 The Enemy in the Darkness
Jiang Songting had a very difficult time during this period. First, something happened to Chen Yaozu inexplicably. Not only did he die naked on the bed with a famous rabbit, he was also involved in the murder of the vice minister of the alliance.
Although Chen Yaozu was also a victim, the name of Antong Machinery Company was once again on the blacklist of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. For this reason, it was often investigated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then Ah Jing scolded him.It should be said that the people behind Ah Jing were very dissatisfied, she was just a messenger.
After finally waiting for the rumors to pass, the suppression troops going south were surrounded by zombies again.Originally, the suppression operation had nothing to do with Antong Machinery Company, but this time they were actually connected.
As the group of Frankensteins in the basement left with a large square wooden box, Ah Jing also brought new instructions. Antong Machinery Company's key projects were suspended, and all personnel were not allowed to leave waiting for further orders.
What is a key project?It's not the group of white coats in the basement who experimented on living people.With them, my group of bodyguards and handymen can make money and have privileges.They paused and the money and power were gone.
Just when she was bored, Ah Jing brought bad news again. The case of Ohai Farm was solved, and the cause of Chen Yaozu's death was found out.It's a pity that the investigation is also a white investigation, because the murderer is Hong Tao, the founder and former chairman of the alliance.
This legendary capable man who had been missing for nearly ten years due to a plane crash did not know why he suddenly appeared in the collection team. As for why Chen Yaozu was killed, who would have time to ask?Ah Jing also said that Hong Tao might have been responsible for the murder in Jinmen Port.
It was originally thought that the suspension of the project was only because the researchers went to the front line and resumed after returning.But now it has to stop. If Hong Tao knows where those children are going, maybe he will pursue this matter.Before his return is finalized, no one dares to restart the project.
In fact, what the project researches and whether it is illegal is not what Jiang Songting cares about at all.But without the program, there is no funding and no privileges.He and his brothers lost the high-level protection and could not gain a foothold in the southern safety zone at all. They offended too many people in the past few years.
It is said that changing the place to remain anonymous is the best way out.Over the years, he has more or less accumulated some capital, recruited a few capable subordinates, as long as he leaves the capital, he will not have a low starting point to go anywhere.
But Ah Jing said again that no one is allowed to leave the company building for half a step until the trial is over.Not only that, since that day, the surroundings of the building have been monitored by unknown people, and even when they go shopping, they are followed every step of the way.
Jiang Songting also heard the news of the trial, and was a little secretly happy at first.Although he had never met Hong Tao or worked with him, so he couldn't talk about personal grievances, but he didn't want the founder to return to the alliance management from the bottom of his heart.
The reason is very simple, as long as you think carefully about what Hong Tao has done, it is not difficult to guess part of the founder's temper.He is really not a qualified politician, he has a strong quack atmosphere, and he still has relatively simple likes and dislikes about people and things.
Letting such a person sit in a high position is of no benefit to groups like Antong Machinery Company who specialize in doing dirty work for big shots.
When I was a refugee, I saw even the deputy minister doing a lot of evil, so I dared to kill him without saying a word. After I have power in my hand, will I still care about the life and death of a group of small reptiles?The best way is to prevent this kind of person from gaining power. Using trial and conviction as an excuse is indeed a brilliant move!
But soon the joy disappeared, and the trial suddenly became a public trial.On the surface, it seems that the level has increased and the importance has increased, but the news from the alliance officials who can be contacted is basically not very favorable.
Those guys who are usually arrogant and powerful have started to feel guilty and restless. They often sigh, complain, accuse, curse, fear, and all kinds of negative emotions are vividly expressed when they talk about the approaching public trial.It was as if it was not Hong Tao who was being tried, but themselves.
Why this happened, Jiang Songting knew very well.These people's buttocks are not very clean. They are afraid that they will be exposed during the public trial, and they will not be able to cover them up. They will eventually become scapegoats for something.
From a class standpoint, Jiang Songting would support Hong Tao in exposing the ugly faces of those guys mercilessly in court.In the final analysis, he is also a refugee, no matter how good he is, he is still a refugee, and he has never been seen as a human being by those high-ranking big shots.
However, from a personal point of view, Jiang Songting hoped that Hong Tao would be sentenced quickly, preferably to death, and executed immediately.The reason why I and my brothers get along well and have a little privilege is nothing more than the meat and bones thrown by the master to the hound.
When the behavior is good, the owner will eat and drink when he is happy. Once the performance is not good, or if he makes any mistakes, he will become a dead dog on the side of the road.If Hong Tao revealed the matter of Jinmen Port during the public trial, he would be able to understand the fate of people like himself if he thought about it with his big toe.
The owners will definitely not take responsibility for a few dogs. At that time, all the blame will be pinned on their own heads, and there will be no hesitation at all.
So whether to support or oppose it, Jiang Songting easily chose the latter.He has never been a person with beliefs, ideals and pursuits, let alone any likes and dislikes.
In his world view, whoever can feed and drink himself, and who can benefit himself is the master.As for whether it should be done, right, good or not, fuck it all, and just live well, it doesn't matter so much.
"Hey... Isn't this shit a dog?" But following this line of thinking, there is really not much difference between myself and a dog.The only difference is that a dog has a bottom line, but a dog-like person has no bottom line at all, and is worse than a dog.
"Being a dog is better than being a leek and being slaughtered by others! These days, bridges and roads are built without corpses, and people kill people and set fire to the golden belt. It's not good!" After thinking about it all morning, Jiang Songting still felt that there was nothing wrong with his outlook on life. At this step, there is no chance to turn back, so I can only go to the dark one by one.
After letting go of his worries for a while, he realized that the back of his shirt was soaked.This year's summer was extremely hot early. In mid-June, the temperature had climbed to [-] degrees.Open the window, and the sun will come in immediately, making people feel restless.Close the windows, and the room will be stuffy again, making people restless.
Don’t even think about air-conditioning. Electricity is simply not enough these days. Even the offices of the top leaders of the Alliance can only install electric fans. The only places with air-conditioning equipment are hospitals and a few scientific research and manufacturing units.
But it's not impossible to cool off, and the bathing center in the Third Ring Entertainment City is a good place to go.Although there is no air-conditioning in there, soaking in hot water, drinking two pots of hot tea in the hall with fans, and sweating can also play a role in cooling down.
"Bang Dang...Brother!" Just as he was about to get up and go, the door of the office was pushed open from the outside, and Ah Liang rushed in, sweat beaded all over his head and face, panting heavily as if he had just Carried half a ton of cargo.
"Remember to knock on the door first next time... What did you do to make yourself like this?" Jiang Songting frowned, feeling more stuffy, wanting to soak in the bathtub even more.
"Damn it, a dog's eyes see people as inferior! I just came back from the Three Rings Entertainment City, and I didn't have enough money with me, so I said I would pay on credit first. But the surname Yang refuses to die. …Brother, how long do we have to wait? If we don’t show off our power, those guys will ride on our heads!”
Coincidentally, Ah Liang had just returned from the Three Rings Entertainment City, and the reason why he was in such a mess was because Yang Shuo, the director of the bathing center, was angry.In the past, Antong Machinery Company was a high-end customer of the entertainment city, and they could pay on credit for meals and baths, and settled once a week.
But this time, Ah Liang hit a soft nail when he went there. What does it mean?It shows that Shen Nan has lowered the grade of Antong Machinery Company and no longer treats it as a high-quality customer. He would rather have fewer customers than increase losses.
"Hey, I don't care about Yang Shuo, I forgot to settle the money, and it happened to be settled in one go."
Should I blame others for being snobby?Jiang Songting knew very well that it had been half a month since he had paid the entertainment city. Such an abnormal behavior would definitely attract the attention of many people.Especially those with a smooth ear like Shen Nan, should have heard some gossip.
Chapter 973 Secret Enemy 2
"Forget it, I'm done...Brother, it's not a problem to go on like this. The funds have not been allocated for a long time, and we are not allowed to do other business, just waiting to sit and eat!"
Ah Liang is not a fool, he must have listened to Yang Shuo's strange words going around in circles, and he understands the current situation of the company better. Before, he could resist asking, but today he can't bear it anymore.
"Did you see Ah Jing these days?" Not only Ah Liang couldn't bear it, Jiang Songting was also a little anxious.
The project can be stopped for as long as it takes, and he is not very happy to do the work of dumping the children.But even the business of smuggling weapons and medicines with Southeast Asian businessmen was stopped, which is a bit too much.
After these years of painstaking efforts, I have some wealth in my hands, but that can't hold back the light.In addition, the consumption of the brothers has all increased over the years, and the monthly expenditure is also a considerable amount. If this continues, it will definitely hurt the muscles and bones.
"I didn't see it! If you want me to say that there's no need to listen to her in everything, you can still do business without a pass. I ran into Sun Changzhong a few days ago. We had a meal together and chatted for a while.
His transportation company is not having a good time now. Since Ping An Transportation Company has been established, the business in the safety zone in the south of the city is basically out of reach.This time I went to the south to participate in the clearance operation and lost the two brothers. Not only did I have no strength to enter the south of the city, but I was almost unable to hold the territory in the east of the city.
I faintly tested it, and he seemed to be interested.As long as you come forward to have a formal chat with him, the two partners will set up a warehouse in the east of the city, we will provide the source of goods, their carriages will bring in the goods, and then a reliable driver will distribute them, the prospects should be very good.
In this way, we can keep the supply of goods without having to send too many people. They can increase their strength, and when they have money, there will be people. The site in the east safety zone can also be kept, which benefits both sides. "
As soon as A Jing was mentioned, A Liang's forehead was full of black lines.In addition to staring at the actions of people like herself like a watchdog, this woman will report every detail to her superiors.Not to mention not showing up for a few days, it's better never to stop coming.
But apart from complaining, Ah Liang has not been idle these days, he is worried about the future of his brothers.Not in vain, it really made him think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
Since the day Antong Machinery Company was established, in addition to serving as a cover for secret research projects, it has also been secretly engaged in smuggling business.Using the personal connections and special passes in Jinmen Port, almost all the urgent supplies were poured out, among which firearms and medicines were the most, and as a result, several businessmen from Southeast Asia were strengthened.
Jiang Songting bought antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and special medicines that can immunize zombie viruses for a short time through scientific researchers at high prices, and then sold them to businessmen from Southeast Asia. What he got in exchange was not money, but guns and ammunition, and then bought these guns and ammunition to The refugee forces in the capital and Jinmen port.
Whether it is medicine or guns and ammunition, they are all materials strictly controlled by the alliance. Not only are the prices very firm on the black market, but they will never worry about buyers. As long as the relationship is strong enough and the network is wide enough, it is certain to make a lot of money.
But the smuggling business has been completely stopped for more than two months, and the medicines can be obtained. Those scientific researchers in the basement are not saints, and they also like to enjoy it. As long as they have enough money, it is not a problem to use the opportunity of doing experiments to skimp on some scarce medicines.
But without the transportation of refugee children, Ah Jing no longer provides special passes.Without a special pass, you will be interrogated many times by the military along the way.Other things are easy to say, as long as they are found to be carrying medicines, weapons and ammunition, the consequence is to arrest people and seize the car.
In fact, suspending the smuggling business in a short period of time will not make you poor, but the buyers in Jinmen Port will not be able to wait any longer, and they may lose contact after a long time. It cannot be restored in the short term.
If an agreement can be made with Sun Changzhong, there will be hope for the smuggling business.Although the transportation company did not have a special pass, Sun Changzhong had been in business for many years and had a good relationship with the surrounding checkpoints. Usually, he would not carefully inspect the vehicles of Changfeng and Zhongyi companies. As long as he checked Dong XZ carefully, there would be no problem.
"...Sun Changzhong doesn't have a good reputation!" Jiang Songting was a little tempted to make Ah Liang scream, but as the boss, he must think more than others and consider all aspects.
"It's because of my bad reputation that I didn't probe further. Brother, your ability to recognize people is definitely better than mine. Find an opportunity to meet and chat with him. If it's reliable, continue talking. Nothing to lose, it’s better than sitting around every day and being thrown into trouble.”
Of course, A Liang had also heard the allusion of how Sun Changzhong stabbed Sun Feihu in the back, but he believed in Jiang Songting's vision even more.For so many years, it is no problem to follow the eldest brother every step of the way.
"... That makes sense. In this way, if you see him again, make an appointment. He's still in the bathing center. I'll go to meet you!" Jiang Songting clenched his fists involuntarily at the mention of being hit by someone.
He has never been a benevolent person, and he didn't admit to being cowardly when he was besieged by many forces in the southern safety zone. Now Huluo Pingyang is being bullied by dogs, this tone is really hard to swallow.
"Don't make an appointment either. When I left, he hadn't finished washing. He said he had an appointment at night, and he would eat lunch in the bathing center and sleep in the afternoon so as not to run around. Why don't we go together? Not much, just chat in the private room of the bathing center, I will guard the door!"
Hearing that the eldest brother let go, Ah Liang slapped his palms with his fists excitedly, took two steps forward to pull Jiang Songting up, and chose the location for the secret meeting.She is quite considerate, Ah Jing's people usually don't go to the expensive private room area to follow unless necessary.
"I said, A Liang, you must change your temperament, and you must not be too rash!" Although Jiang Songting felt that it was a bit abrupt to have an interview with Sun Changzhong immediately, he couldn't stand A Liang's persistent tugging, and he knew better about the nature of these people under him, so he simply With a half push, he got up and walked towards the door.
"Change, change, change right away, I... hey, why are you here?" A Liang's ears could hear cocoons in his persuasion, and he knew that the elder brother was doing it for his own good, but Jiangshan is easy to change and his nature is hard to change. I can only continue to perfunctory with a smile.
At this time, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a woman in neat clothes and a faint fragrance came in. The smile on his face disappeared immediately, and his brows were tightly frowned.
"Mr. Jiang, where are you going?"
The person who came was Ah Jing. She was secretly investigated by the church council for the details of Hong Tao's return these days. The complete results have not yet come out, and she was given a new mission by Gao Tianyi, so she had to return to Antong Machinery Company again.
The special inspector of the executive meeting of the council, Xu Jing, this is her true identity.This department is not included in the official establishment of the council, it is a temporary appointment, and has only one role. It replaces the executive director to visit various departments of the alliance to obtain first-hand information and provide a basis for adding, deleting, and modifying existing rules.
As the chairman of the executive meeting, Gao Tianyi naturally became the supervisor of the inspector.In fact, he did not ignore this work. Since he took the post of chairman, he has secretly trained a group of nominally temporary and secret full-time supervisors. Xu Jing is the team leader of these supervisors.
Do I need full-time personnel to visit and inspect government departments?The answer is definitely not needed.Gao Tianyi did not train these people as inspectors, but developed them in the direction of intelligence personnel.For this reason, in the safety zone in the north of the city, a farm was established as a refugee for training.
During his days as foreign minister, through the collapse of the Northwest Alliance, he suddenly realized an important issue that had been neglected before, and that was intelligence work.
If the Relief Army also had an intelligence system dedicated to inquiring into other people's family back then, and learned more about the situation of the rescue team and the Flying Tigers, Hong Tao might have failed in the end.
It is not too late to mend the situation, and the reformists really need an intelligence department to confront the royalist Zhou Yuan at this time.So with Chu Qiu's acquiescence, this small intelligence system was established in the name of an inspector, and a special fund was applied for each year for recruitment and training.
Chapter 974 Ah Jing's New Mission
But Xu Jing also has a secret identity, which no one knows except Gao Tianyi. She is Gao Yi's mother.Gao Yi, aged four, is the only son of Gao Tianyi.Although Xu Jing is not beautiful, she has a good brain and a general sense. The most important thing is that she is healthy and young.
Although it can be regarded as drunken sex, Gao Tianyi doesn't regret it.After learning that Xu Jing was pregnant, in the name of training, he secretly sent her to a ranch in the safety zone in the north of the city to wait for delivery, without telling anyone.
After the breastfeeding period, they were sent to Antong Machinery Company, so that not only could they avoid Chuqiu's dog leg, He Wanjun, but they could also visit their son more freely.
To ask whether Gao Tianyi intends to hide Chu Qiu forever, the answer is no.He had made a plan long ago, first desperately helping Chu Qiu get the power of the alliance, gradually transferring the power to himself in the name of husband and wife, and passing it on to his son when the time is right.
In this process Chuqiu is just a tool, a tool to gain power.Without this tool, it will never be possible to touch power in the current system of rules.As for which is more important, wife or son, Gao Tian didn't even have to think about it, he had to choose the latter immediately.
Generally speaking, people who are particularly passionate about power tend to be particularly concerned about inheriting their families, and they always want to pass on power from generation to generation without end.Any price can be paid for this, such as relatives, countries and people.
"Can you control it? What's the matter, we're not criminals, so we have to apply like a release!" Whenever he saw this half-smile face, Ah Liang couldn't help but want to punch him.Right now, he was about to discuss a big plan, and this woman appeared again lingeringly, which made him very annoyed.
"Mr. Jiang, it's better not to walk around at this time. If you have any needs, you can tell me. As long as it is reasonable, I will try my best to meet it." Xu Jingquan pretended not to see A Liang's attitude, and even his eyes were right. Jiang Songting spoke the truth calmly.
"Oh, Ah Jing, Ah Liang and I are just going to take a bath in the bathing center. It's too hot and there's nothing else to do, why don't you go with us too."
Jiang Songting was much deeper than Ah Liang City Mansion, knowing that Ah Jing was just a mouthpiece and an eye, and getting angry with her was of no use at all, so he explained his intention to go out in a pleasant manner, and even sent out a kind invitation.
"No, you and A Liang can go. But I have brought a new mission, Mr. Jiang had better come back soon!" Xu Jing looked at her watch when she heard this, and stepped aside to let the door out.
"...Ah Liang, you go and prepare the carriage first!" But Jiang Songting didn't take a step, twitched the corners of his mouth, pushed A Liang away first, then turned and walked to the desk.
