Chapter 757: Chapter 658: 5 Billion Dollars (Please Subscribe!)_1 November 21. Monday. The Qingyan City Party Committee officially passed the resolution. They officially appointed Qin Yugang as the acting District Chief of Qingyan City’s Economic Development Zone. This result was like pulling the rug out from under too many people, leaving them completely befuddled. You see, Qin Yugang has always worked in the Public Security System and has no working experience in other departments. It’s difficult for him to pass the organizational department’s assessment. For a position like District Chief, at least having previous experience as a first or second in command at the township level would suffice. If Qin Yugang were appointed as the Director of Public Security, they would not be surprised. But for him to jump out from the public security system and take on the District Chief’s role is unbelievable — the leap is just too big, ascending three levels at once. Deputy District Chief. Executive Deputy District Chief. District Chief. He skipped the first two and secured the role in one go. Qin Yugang began his unusual rise last year, He quickly overcame various thresholds and landed in this position. Except for a few insiders, no one else could figure it out. Even given that case, Qin Yugang’s promotion happened at an astonishing speed. And just now, Some people are indeed dissatisfied. In the office of Zeng Quan. He was currently receiving a person who came to lament. "Uncle, why didn’t you push me up this time? Such a good opportunity, you gave the position of County Party Secretary to the Secretary, the District Chief nomination was sure to pass. Why would you give it to an outsider? I’ve fulfilled my term as a Deputy County Head." Yes, this person was Zeng Quan’s relative. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to speak with him in such a tone. About this matter, he had called Zeng Quan previously, but Zeng Quan was evasive. He thought Zeng Quan would consider their relationship and promote him. But now, his hopes were definitely dashed. It’s one thing to lose to someone else, as there are many senior officials in Qingyan City, but losing to Qin Yugang didn’t sit well with him. So he went to find Zeng Quan directly. Zeng Quan was sipping his tea quietly, his expression calm as he looked at his relative in front of him. "Rong Wen, just because you’ve served a full term does that mean you should be promoted? Where are your results?" Zeng Quan said indifferently. He found it most annoying when people came asking for official roles, even relatives. When faced with the bigger picture, they also had to yield. Rong Wen’s face turned red as he stuttered: "I... isn’t that lack of opportunity? Attracting investment is so difficult. Our county is nestled in the mountainous area. What can I do?" His county, a poverty-stricken county located in the mountains, suffers from inconvenient transportation. It’s indeed a bit hard done by. Many investors lose interest halfway and would not consider investing there. "Humph, exactly, you have no results. How can I recommend you? Even if I did, it wouldn’t be approved. So many people are eyeing this position. With your performance, being an Executive Deputy County Head is already quite good. You want to jump to the position of Office Director, do you think that’s possible?" Zeng Quan gave Rong Wen a ’why do you always think good things will happen to you’ look. "With you here, I think it’s certainly possible." Rong Wen thickened his skin and smiled. Before Zeng Quan came to Qingyan City, he didn’t have any options. But now that he’d been transferred to Qingyan City, things were different. "Alright, you should think about how to achieve your work results, step by step. Otherwise, you’ll really think human resources appointments are child’s play." Zeng Quan glared at him severely. Rong Wen replied discontentedly: "I still can’t accept it. I admit I don’t have any achievements, but what achievements does a regular Deputy Director of Public Security like him have? I simply don’t believe it." "You, don’t underestimate Qin Yugang." Zeng Quan shook his head and sighed. "Does he have a substantial background?" Rong Wen asked curiously. Zeng Quan shook his head: "I can’t really say he has some background, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been promoted just now. But if we talk about influence, he’s even more influential than me. It wouldn’t be strange to me even if he gets to my position, or surpasses me within the next ten years." If Tang Qing maintains his relations with the Chai family and the Cui family and promotes Qin Yugang, it’s not too difficult, because Tang Qing is wealthy and can make Qin Yugang’s CV look very impressive. Rong Wen was surprised: "What? Surpass you? That’s impossible, right? What’s his background?" Zeng Quan’s face turned stern as he said in a low voice: "Don’t inquire what you shouldn’t. Just know that there’s a reason I do this. Would I casually promote someone? If you encounter him in the future, get along well with him. He might just move his mouth and get your county’s investment task done." "Really? His background is in business?" Rong Wen asked confusedly. Zeng Quan said in a low voice: "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. Remember, this person you can’t afford to offend has a background that even I find a bit hard to deal with, understand?" "Understood." Rong Wen’s eyes darted about, and he already had an idea in his mind. That was to make an active visit to leave an impression, so that next time it wouldn’t be so abrupt. Obviously, Zeng Quan didn’t plan to say anything more. That night, At Qin Yugang’s home. Guests filled his home. Although he hadn’t officially taken office, many people had already come to visit, making Qin Yugang quite downcast. But there was no way around it. When you’re in the "Jianghu", you can’t act as you please. So he had to entertain them nicely. However, knowing that Qin Yugang was busy, they all sat for a bit and then left. By the time Rong Wen arrived, Qin Yugang had just seen off a group of guests. "You are?" Qin Yugang asked somewhat confused. Rong Wen quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "District Chief Qin, I am the Deputy County Head from the Kaigu County below. My name is Rong Wen." "County Head Rong, you are..." Qin Yugang’s meaning was clear: we don’t have any overlap, why are you here? Rong Wen quickly explained, "Mayor Zeng is my uncle. He instructed me to learn more from District Chief Qin. So, I’m here to familiarize myself. We should interact more in the future. I hope I’m not bothering you." "You’re not disturbing, come in and let’s chat." Qin Yugang couldn’t snub Zeng Quan’s relative although they had no connections. "Okay." Half an hour later. Rong Wen left satisfied. Although he didn’t get any information, he did get to know Qin Yugang. In the future, he would try to find out from his uncle what was so special about Qin Yugang to warrant his uncle’s vehement push for his promotion. The previous case was obviously not enough to propel Qin Yugang to a position equivalent to his uncle’s within ten years. His heart was itching. ... After Rong Wen left. Finally, there was some peace in Qin Yugang’s house. "What’s this all about? As soon as the appointment was approved, and before I’ve even taken office, so many people have come bringing this and that." Auntie complained as she cleaned the house, and Qin Yugang hurried to help her. As for Qin Shiqi and her sister, they had been doing their homework in one of the rooms all this time. "Can’t help it, it’s just the way of the world." Qin Yugang let out a sigh. Auntie asked puzzledly, "Why do you think Mayor Zeng recommended you for the development zone?" "What do you think?" Qin Yugang chuckled. "Could it really be because of Tangtang?" Auntie found this incredible. "It’s highly likely, alas..." Qin Yugang sighed again, feeling that he had been forced into his position this year, in which Tang Qing had played a major role. It was not because he himself had been recognized for his capabilities. "What are you sighing about? You’re benefiting from your own nephew, what’s there to sigh about? We’re all family." Auntie encouraged hastily. "That’s true. I’ll have a chat with that brat later." "You should call him now, Tangtang will probably be going to sleep soon." "Alright." Puting down his work. And taking out his phone. Qin Yugang dialed Tang Qing’s number. "Uncle, congratulations." Tang Qing’s playful voice came through the speaker. "What’s there to congratulate? You’re the one pulling strings behind the scenes, aren’t you?" Qin Yugang sounded annoyed. Tang Qing immediately denied, "What do you mean ’pulling strings’? I swear, I didn’t do anything there. It’s likely that Mayor Zeng wants our Sheng Tang Group to increase investment in the development zone. In fact, he’s the one benefiting." Qin Yugang was speechless. This situation had ended up benefiting Zeng Quan. Well, he accepted it. Qin Yugang said solemnly, "That’s good. Remember, do not meddle in Huaxia’s official circles. You’re a businessman, you must not cross the line and never get yourself involved, understood?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶 Over the years, businessmen interfering in appointments of officials would not end well unless they had massive backing. Tang Qing was clearly not someone with such big backing, his last three generations were all farmers. Tang Qing promised immediately, "Yes, yes, I understand. Why would I bother to interfere in this? Mayor Zeng proposed it himself." Even if he interfered, he would not step into the ring himself. He still had a sense of propriety. "Good, be careful not to give others a handle over you, that would be troublesome." Qin Yugang reiterated. "Yes, my dear Uncle District Governor." Tang Qing teased. "You little bugger, hang up now and get some rest." Qin Yugang almost laughed. "Alright, you too Uncle." After hanging up the phone. "So, did Tangtang help you out?" Auntie asked anxiously. Qin Yugang shook his head, "No, he said he didn’t pull any strings. It was Mayor Zeng’s own decision." "That’s good. By the way, how much money does Tangtang have now? He’s with Shengtang Group and Tianyan Group." Auntie sighed in relief. "A lot, a lot. No matter what, he won’t have to worry about food and clothing in this lifetime." Qin Yugang didn’t exactly know either, but he knew it was at least 1.5 billion, or even more than 2 billion RMB, an astronomical number anyway. Auntie proudly said, "Hehe, our Tangtang is really brilliant. From a young age I always thought he was extraordinary and would achieve a lot. I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly." "..." Qin Yugang shook his head and chuckled. Many people had a sleepless night that night. Including Tang Qing, who had just ended the call. There was an unexpected situation on the American side. "Jiaxue, there’s a lot going on at the company today. You go to bed first, I’ll come to bed later." Tang Qing said to Lin Jiaxue who had just had her shower. "Alright then, come to bed soon." "Alright." After that. Lin Jiaxue went back to bed, lying in bed without Tang Qing, she felt a bit of insomnia, she couldn’t sleep for a while. It was a strange conditioned reflex, she used to have a workout routine at night. Thinking about this. Lin Jiaxue started daydreaming in her bed. ... In the living room. Tang Qing was staring at the image on his laptop screen. There was a hint of a smirk at the corner of his mouth. The third Pixiu Plan had been launched since the beginning of November. Everything had been going smoothly. Unfortunately, the saying goes, "If you always walk by the river, your shoes will inevitably get wet." This time Tang Qing had set a limit of 50 billion US dollars, not too much, for fear of scaring the casino bosses. So far, 43 billion US dollars had been reached. However, even with a foolproof plan, there would still be many human factors interfering. After winning a large amount of cash and leaving, the executing fighter was targeted, and directly ambushed in the hotel room where the fighter was staying. A face-off was underway in the hotel room. The opponents thought they had the situation under control with their superior numbers, treating the fighter like a lamb to be slaughtered. Unfortunately, they expected too much.
