Chapter 85 Getting more timid with age?
Zhou Xiangzhang's eyes darted around, then he waved his hand: "Unlikely."
Chen Dawei had only been in office for a few days and hadn't mentioned the company's pollution issues, so he had no conflict with Lao Jiang.
Moreover…moreover, without explicit instructions, Jiang Xiong would not act rashly.
Chen Tiecai lowered his eyes and pondered, his face growing increasingly grim: "I don't care who it is, someone has to pay the price for this."
Cai Zhengjie just spoke with me about the problems in Yuanshan County, subtly and overtly pointing me out.
Well, this happened in the blink of an eye.
How am I supposed to explain this to Tsai Cheng-chieh?
A higher-ranking official can crush you.
Cai Zhengjie was the municipal party secretary, so Chen Tiecai couldn't do anything about it.
Zhou Xiangzhang had no choice but to accept his bad luck and promised to thoroughly investigate the matter.
"Remember, don't touch Chen Dawei. If you can't control your men, you should resign," Chen Tiecai coldly ordered.
Zhou Xiangzhang felt immense pressure and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Chen Tiecai was still worried and sighed again, "Xiangzhang, I've said all the right things."
If you still don't listen, there's nothing I can do. If anything happens, don't come looking for me.
In a few more years, I will also retire.
Don't let this affect my safe landing. Let's not ruin this brotherly bond.
Zhou Xiangzhang stood up, bowed slightly, and said humbly, "I will remember, leader."
After going downstairs, they ran into Chen Tiecai's son, Chen Wei, who was also the actual controller behind Wansheng Group.
"Uncle Zhou is here."
"Awei, you're back." Zhou Xiangzhang forced a smile, nodded repeatedly at him, and walked towards her Audi.
"Uncle Zhou, wait a minute." Chen Wei called out to him, "It's still early. Let's go get some drinks later. There are some dance students at Meishi Academy with good figures. I'll make arrangements."
Zhou Xiangzhang glanced back at the window of the study upstairs and sighed softly, "Let's do it another day. I have a lot of things to do. I just got a good scolding from your dad, so I'm not in the mood."
Chen Wei said indifferently, "Why do you care about him? What else can he do besides scolding people all day? Wait for me, I'll change my clothes and come out right away."
Zhou Xiangzhang grabbed Chen Wei's hand and shook her head in distress: "This time is different. He's really angry. Let's meet again next time. Goodbye. I really have to go. I have a lot of things to do in the county."
Seeing Zhou Xiangzhang's anxious look, Chen Wei realized that something was amiss. He went upstairs to the study and entered without knocking.
Chen Tiecai, who was looking at text messages on his phone in his study, immediately curled his lip and angrily slammed the phone down on the table.
"What's wrong with you? How many times have I told you to knock before entering?"
Chen Wei sat casually in the chair in front of the desk, one leg propped up on the armrest, his belt loosened, looking utterly uncouth: "What's Uncle Zhou doing here? Did you scold him again?"
He didn't take Chen Tiecai's criticism seriously at all.
Chen Tiecai held his forehead with one hand, rubbing his brow with his fingers, his eyes full of distress. He knew that the man in front of him was his only son and had a bad reputation outside.
Like Zhou Xiangzhang, he was also completely helpless against this纨绔 (playboy).
"Awei, I think you should hurry up and get rid of the properties in Yuanshan County."
Your uncle owns a farm in Southeast Asia.
For now, you can work for him. Later, when a better opportunity arises, you can switch jobs.
Chen Tiecai had already sensed the crisis, and sending Chen Wei away in advance was the best choice.
"I'm not going. That place is unbearably hot, and I don't like the food. You go if you want."
"Listen to me, Dad is doing this for your own good."
Chen Wei leaned to one side and clasped his hands in a fist salute to him: "Please, don't do this for my own good."
Every time you say that, you're actually trying to make things difficult for me.
When I was in high school, you said it was for my own good and brought me from my hometown to Meihua City. As soon as I transferred schools, my grades plummeted.
After I got married, you said it was for my own good and told me to marry that woman I didn't like. Now we argue every day.
I started my business in Foshan, opening a building materials factory. You said it was for my own good, telling me to change careers, or find an agent for me to hide behind the scenes. This caused me to give away 20% of the profits to those agents on the surface, which led many people to say that I was a good-for-nothing and a playboy.
"You want me to go to Southeast Asia again?"
Chen Tiecai was so angry that his blood boiled, his face turned red and his neck bulged, and he wanted nothing more than to slap him across the face.
"Awei, what kind of father would harm his son?"
If Dad isn't doing this for your own good, would he be trying to harm you?
You don't understand the ways of officialdom; it's too dangerous.
"You're always hanging out with Zhou Dongliang and Jiang Xiong here; you're bound to get into trouble sooner or later."
Chen Wei scoffed dismissively: "You've been saying that for years, and I'm still perfectly fine."
Seeing that the old man was about to speak again, Chen Wei stood up and interrupted, "Alright, stop talking."
Isn't it just a new guy, Chen Dawei?
What is it?
If you push me too far, I'll have someone take care of him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a ruthless glint flashed between his brows.
Chen Tiecai was so shocked that his mouth dropped open, and he slammed his hand on the table: "I think you've got a death wish!"
Chen Wei pouted impatiently: "Dad, I just don't understand."
A county magistrate scared you like this? Is it really true, as they say, that people get more timid as they get older?
Where has your former heroism and courage gone?!
Chen Tiecai stood up, his blood pressure spiked, and he felt dizzy. He had to hold onto the table to steady himself.
"This Chen Dawei is no ordinary person."
Minister Xu from the province personally saw him off to his new post, and he was promoted directly from section chief to division chief.
A powerful figure stands behind him!
Anyone who rushes in to confront him now will not have a good ending; it's possible that the higher-ups are using Chen Dawei as bait.
Look at how quickly things have changed in just a few days. Xie Changhe, Qiu Yuanzhang, and Lin Wangyou have all been arrested one after another.
Be more mindful and listen to what I say.
"You're a father now."
Every word came from the heart, and the words were earnest and profound.
Chen Wei waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, alright, I know."
He turned and walked out of the study, not taking his father's words to heart.
Chen Wei's journey has been incredibly smooth.
Such favorable circumstances can lead people astray.
Surrounded by people he fawns over, he becomes somewhat carried away.
He felt like he was a powerful figure who could turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist, and he even looked down on his own father.
Back in the room, I saw my wife putting on makeup in front of the mirror.
"What are you doing putting on makeup so late?" Chen Wei asked, sounding quite displeased.
His wife pursed her red lips in front of the mirror: "Didn't we agree not to interfere with each other?"
You do your thing, I'll do mine.
I'm leaving.
The woman picked up her delicate little handbag and swayed as she went downstairs.
Chen Wei was definitely unhappy. As a man, he could have his fun, but his wife couldn't.
But since his father-in-law was a provincial official, Chen Wei had no choice but to tolerate his complaints.
Besides, he was in the wrong first. He was caught having an affair, and that's why his wife turned out this way.
