Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 758 Lin Gangjian's Surprise

In the evening, Lin Gangjian walked out of the hotel and got into a luxury car.

The car passed through the festive Chang'an Avenue and drove towards the suburbs. Along the way, it passed Hanwang Mountain, which is known for its unique view of the Han River and mountains, and finally stopped at a secluded and quiet mountain villa.

The tires made a slight sound as they rubbed against the ground. Before the car door was fully opened, a group of well-dressed people came over like a tide, smiling and welcoming Lin Gangjian.

The leader was a man in his forties, wearing a pair of glasses with dark frames. His eyes behind the lenses occasionally revealed a gloomy and flickering light, which made people feel that he was extremely cunning.

This person is named Liu Qizhizi, chairman of Hanjiang Lianxiang Group, a very influential figure in Hanjiang business community.

The few people following closely behind Liu Qizhizi are also well-known big bosses from all over Hanjiang, and each of them is worth a lot of money.

These people, headed by Liu Qizhi, formed a huge business alliance that called the shots in Hanjiang and even other places. In recent years, it has even extended to the political arena. Lin Gangjian is the product of their extension.

Lin Gangjian joined the group seven years ago.

Seven years ago, it was his sixth year as a member of the Standing Committee of the Beishan Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the HK Municipal Party Committee. At that time, Beishan City was in the midst of a new round of leadership changes, and he wanted to take a step up.

Unfortunately, his leader has retired for many years and there is basically no hope of supporting him. Based on the above conversation, he may be transferred to the position of Minister of Organization.

This position is a small step forward, or it can be said that there is no progress at all.

Given his age, if he continues to gain experience in other Standing Committee positions, his chances of making a breakthrough will basically be gone.

At the age of 52, if he works hard, it is not impossible for him to retire as a vice-provincial level official. If he stays at this level, it is hard to say whether he can even become a director-general.

With this distress and vision, he finally found his old leader who had retired for many years.

When his old leader learned of his idea, he recommended Liu Qizhi, a popular entrepreneur who had just emerged in Hanjiang, to him. At the other party's invitation, he joined the group.

At that time, he still felt that his old leader was confused. What could a businessman do to help him?

But what was unexpected was that Liu Qizhizi was really omnipotent. As a private entrepreneur, he helped him complete the transformation from a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the HK Municipal Party Committee, to Deputy Secretary of the Beishan Municipal Party Committee.

Of course, this help is not free.

Later, Lin Gangjian returned the favor and used the power in his hands to repay the alliance with many benefits. He made a significant contribution to the development of Lianxiang Group.

However, deep down, he has a strong sense of rejection towards this alliance and group.

Perhaps it is because this is not a glorious history for him.

Or maybe it was Mr. Liu's development history that made him feel disgusted.

On the surface, this is a pioneer who is lucky enough to stand at the forefront of the reform.

In fact, the information he investigated showed that the development history of this private entrepreneur was very disgraceful.

The other party was originally a civil servant and a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise with great development prospects.

However, the state-owned enterprise suddenly declined and eventually went bankrupt in his leadership. When it reappeared in the public eye, it had completed the transformation from state-owned assets to social capital. The only thing that remained unchanged was that the actual controller was still Mr. Liu.

To put it bluntly, the other party exploited legal loopholes and embezzled state-owned assets.

"Secretary Lin, you're a little late." Liu Qizhiz politely extended his hand and shook hands with Lin Gangjian.

Lin Gangjian explained, "I visited a lot of leaders today and attended a few drinking parties. I was very busy, but soon these days will be gone forever. From now on, Mr. Liu won't have to come out to greet me in this cold weather."

Liu Qizhi heard the sigh in the other party's words and said with a smile: "Look at you, what are you talking about? Our Chamber of Commerce is not such a snobbish person.

Don’t even think about you stepping down. Even if you do, we will still respect you as much as before and as much as now.”

Lin Gangjian waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Our fate ends here. This is also the last time I will come here. From now on, I will just sit back at home, drink tea and read the newspaper, and enjoy my retirement."

"Secretary Lin, you're only sixty, how can you say you're old?" Liu Qizhi pointed to the sky, "Look at those people, who aren't in their sixties or seventies, still in their prime?

Besides, even if our political life is over, we can still develop our economic life.

What matters in life is experience. I experienced the officialdom back then, and finally found that a person cannot just work on paperwork, but also has to be a trendsetter and experience the romance, the bright lights and the women.

How about this? After you retire, you can come to my company and be a senior consultant. You can set your salary."

Lin Gangjian smiled faintly, not wanting to continue tangling with these people, so he perfunctorily said, "We'll talk about it later." He then glanced at the few people on the outskirts of the crowd, "You came quite early."

The people included Zhang Jiadong, secretary of the HK Municipal Party Committee, He Qingsong, the former mayor, and two members of the municipal standing committee, all of whom were promoted by him.

Several people stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Gangjian one by one. Zhang Jiadong explained: "Originally, I wanted to go to the city to wish you a happy new year, but thinking that you might come here, we agreed to wait for you here."

Lin Gangjian opened his mouth to scold, but after thinking for a moment, he held back and reminded him, "You should stay in the city at this time."

He Anxia approved the decision of the investigation team to move in at the Standing Committee, and the investigation team moved in while he was speaking.

This investigation team is different from previous ones. It is led by the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and has a very high level. It can even investigate the leadership team of HK.

You are still running around at this time. Aren't you afraid of arousing the suspicion of the investigation team?

Zhang Jiadong knew what Lin Gangjian was worried about and explained, "Don't worry, I asked for leave from the Municipal Party Committee and said I was going back to the provincial capital to reunite with my family. I bought a house there a few years ago and moved my family here. The Municipal Party Committee is aware of this, and the other comrades also have legitimate reasons, so it won't arouse suspicion."

Lin Gangjian nodded, unwilling to say anything more. He withdrew immediately and would no longer be able to control this group of people. He could no longer control what path they took or how they walked.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they walked into the villa.

Lin Gangjian thought he was the protagonist present, but he didn't expect that there were quite a few people inside the house.

Many of them were old acquaintances, and their status was not lower than his, and he suddenly felt very uneasy.

What on earth does this Mr. Liu want to do? He has united so many officials!

"Haha, hello, old secretary." A fat man came over.

"Hu Youde? Why are you here? Didn't you go to Heji City?" Lin Gangjian was a little surprised.

On the third day after Vice Governor Qu Zhengping arrived, the investigation into Hu Youde also came to an end, and the punishment was handed down: a serious warning and dismissal from office, but the person was finally brought to justice.

A few days after being dismissed, the Provincial Grain Department issued a transfer order to transfer him to Heji City.

Lin Gangjian didn't expect that he would have the chance to see this person again.
