Chapter 48: The Storm Comes

The magnificent three-story villa, azure swimming pool, soft and green lawns, and the dazzling night view of Victoria Bay can be seen in the distance.

Only by being in it can you understand why luxury houses in Hong Kong are so popular among the rich, and have almost become a watershed between the upper class and ordinary rich people.

In the small banquet living room with dazzling variety of utensils, Zhu Wentong hosted a banquet to entertain Wang Husheng, Lu Zheng and Gao Yanyan.

The dishes are all home-cooked in Shanghai, which shows the chef's skills. A simple garlic paste lettuce, the heat of the paste and the texture of the lettuce, you can clearly feel the difference from the restaurant outside when you put it in your mouth.

Zhu Wen and the three wives were all there, which made Gao Yanyan secretly amazed her tongue.

Hong Kong only began to implement the Marriage (Amendment) Ordinance 1970 in 1971, ending the era when Hong Kong men took concubines and divorced wives in accordance with the Qing Regulations, abolished the concubine system and changed to monogamy.

However, the concubines before 71 years still recognized their legal status as wives according to the 70 Marriage Ordinance.

These three wives of Zhu Wentong are all legal wives of Zhu Wentong who are protected by Hong Kong laws.

The three wives are half old, but they still have charm. They make every move and talk lightly, and can vaguely appreciate their charm back then.

When it was time to eat, the second wife and the third wife avoided it and left the eldest wife to accompany the guests to have a meal. I thought that when I came to socialize, they had certain rules. If it weren't for Zhu Wen and his childhood friends today, the three wives wouldn't have appeared at the same time. In fact, in recent years, it has been difficult for the outside world to see the three wives together.

Lu Zheng didn't speak much, just listened to Zhu Wentong and Wang Husheng recalling the glorious years of the past.

However, Gao Yanyan interrupted from time to time and led the topic to the development of Wushan. Fortunately, Zhu Wentong didn't seem disgusted, but asked about the situation in Wushan with interesting interest.

Gao Yanyan naturally showed off her verbalism and blew the prospects of Wushan High-tech Development Zone. The wisdom flashed in Zhu Wentong's eyes made Lu Zheng know that Gao Yanyan's little thoughts would definitely be invisible in Zhu Wentong's eyes.

But Zhu Wentong just smiled and listened, and was not dissatisfied with this yellow-haired girl showing off her skills in front of her.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Zhu Wentong is so well-educated and so cunning.

Speaking of which, in the shopping mall in the previous life, Lu Zheng fought with the Zhu family. The main target was the representative sent by the Zhu family to explore the mainland market, Zhu Mingze, the eldest son of the Zhu family.

The result was self-evident. Lu Zheng, who exuded a dark aura from his bones in his previous life, almost swallowed Zhu Mingze alive with his home advantage.

Even Lu Zheng possessed Zhu Mingze's third-level star mistress just to satisfy the glory of completely defeating the eldest son of the Zhu family.

Zhu Mingze is actually a very kind person. Now that I think about it, I really feel sorry for him.

In my previous life, I was harmed by others, but in the same way, I also harmed many people.

So now if you live again, if you don’t have to, you don’t have to avenge the hatred of your previous life. After all, these deep hatreds have not happened in this life.

To avoid the tragedy between yourself and your family happening again, and to work hard to do your best to the rise of your family is what you should do most now.

So, whether it is Gao Zhikai or Yang Chaoyang, although he hates them from the bottom of his heart, he never regards them as the target of revenge.

But as time goes by, it seems that the hatred between me and them is really a ninth lifetime of grudges. It is destined to be able to resolve even if you live again. Perhaps sooner or later, it will be a life-and-death result.

So, what about Zhu Mingze? Will he still become his opponent in this life?

I hope there will be some change? I have already caused him miserable in my previous life. In this life, I am afraid that he will have no chance of winning. It is really meaningless to bully such an honest person.

"Mr. Lu, why have you been silent?" Zhu Wentong's eyes suddenly bet on Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Today I came, I brought a pair of ears and eyes. The chairman's words of great significance will surely inspire me. In front of you, I should hide my weakness and speak less."

Zhu Wentong looked at Lu Zheng deeply, but couldn't see what the young man was thinking. For some reason, he always felt that this young man seemed to be an opponent of a considerable size, rather than a young official from the mainland who came to visit him.

Zhu Wentong shook his head, wondering, could he be really old? There are really more and more hallucinations recently.

...

When I returned from the Zhu family's mansion in the middle of the mountain at about 10 o'clock in the evening. Along the way, Gao Yanyan, who was sitting in the Lincoln car, was extremely excited, talking about the luxury of the Zhu family.

A woman is still a woman no matter what position she reaches.

Wang Husheng was still immersed in the nostalgia of the past, touching a yellowed photo and muttering something. This photo was given to him by Zhu Wentong, a group photo of a bunch of children of all sizes in the Shanghai alley, one of which was Wang Husheng.

Lu Zheng responded to Gao Yanyan's excited chatter with a smile, so that she would not be too bored.

Gao Yanyan had enough reason to be excited, because at the table, Zhu Wentong agreed to come to Wushan to invest, and his eldest son Zhu Mingze will also go to Wushan for inspection and market evaluation soon. At the same time, Zhu Wentong verbally promised to invest in the construction of a highway between Beijing and Wushan. As for the specific details, it must be coordinated with relevant central departments.

Lu Zheng thought about Zhu Wentong. It seemed that the banquet for Wang Husheng was not just about reminiscing about the friendship that year, but mainly about preparing for Yellow River Industry's entry into the mainland market and making noises to see how the mainland regime would respond to him.

When they returned to the hotel, the three of them broke up in the lobby. Wang Husheng and Gao Yanyan returned to their room, while Lu Zheng went to have a cup of coffee.

When Lu Zheng took the elevator to the 12th floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, he saw Chen Sanshui standing outside, pacing anxiously.

"Director, I'll tell you something." Chen Sanshui came up hurriedly.

Lu Zheng nodded: "Say."

"Okay, let's go back to the room." Chen Sanshui hesitated a little as he watched people walking around in the corridor from time to time.

Lu Zheng nodded and stepped back to the room.

In Room No. 5, the smoke smell was almost dissipated. This was a standard room with two beds. The snow-white sheets and light blue carpets looked very neat and elegant. Lu Zheng and Chen Sanshui lived in this room together.

"Just just now, He Hongmei called to you, looking for you..." As soon as she entered the room, Chen Sanshui was a little anxious but lowered her voice and said mysteriously.

"What? Qingtian released it?" Lu Zheng asked. Before leaving Wushan, the municipal bureau had a letter. Zhang Qingtian's case was basically classified as a false accusation, and Niu Wu was formally arrested for multiple charges.

"She didn't say this. She just asked me to tell you that the Central Investigation Team has come down. Director Yu Gong has been suspended. The Central Committee will continue to investigate his suspected illegal and disorderly investigation." Although Chen Sanshui retelled He Hongmei's original words, he still couldn't help but tremble when Director Yu Gong was suspended. This is the officialdom. No matter how powerful you were, once you were ruthlessly eliminated, the turning point of your fate would only be in the evening.

Moreover, Chen Sanshui knew clearly that Director Lu’s backer was Director Yu Gong. In the officialdom, he pulled out the radish and brought out the mud. Director Yu Gong fell down, so Director Lu was afraid that his status would be embarrassing.

Lu Zheng was stunned, "Director Yu Gong was suspended?"

Chen Sanshui nodded with certainty, "Yes, He Hongmei said it clearly on the phone, it can't be fake."

Lu Zheng frowned and said, "How can you say these things on the phone? The training for security and confidentiality is useless?"

Chen Sanshui murmured in a low voice: "Anyways, I will be reported sooner or later."

"Hasn't you been reported yet? If He Hongmei calls again, tell her not to tell you this." Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Take a bath and go to bed!" He turned around and entered the bathroom.

Chen Sanshui sighed deeply. Although Director Lu seemed to have nothing to do on the surface, he was afraid that he would be particularly troublesome this time.

But thinking about it, it seems that it is not your own business. It’s just that if someone else comes to lead him, I’m afraid I won’t be so convinced.

...

The next day, Lu Zheng could feel the subtle changes in his attitude when facing him. I think it was not just him, but he should have known that something happened to Director Yu Gong.

Lu Zheng was silent and no longer chatted with other cadres like before. He was sensitive to his identity and wanted to avoid suspicion.

He just silently performed the duties of the deputy head of the delegation step by step, held various promotion meetings, press conferences, met with wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong, and dealt with various media...

However, Wushan's political situation attracted the attention of Hong Kong media. First, the mainland government delegation that was promoting the huge momentum in Hong Kong was from Wushan; second, the mainland central government directly intervened in the reshaping of the city-level power structure, and last time it appeared in Shenzhen.

Lu Zheng learned about the changes in Wushan’s political climate through Hong Kong media.

Municipal Party Secretary Duan Zhongcheng was temporarily dismissed, and other uses; Mayor Huang Mingtai was transferred to the deputy director of the Department of Agriculture in a remote province in the northwest.

The pattern of the three troikas in Wushan City has completely become history.

The Central Organization Department directly appointed Duan Zhongyuan, former director of the Regional Economic Development Department of the State Planning Commission, as a member, standing member and secretary of the Wushan Municipal Party Committee, and nominated as a candidate for mayor.

The Hong Kong media interprets this as the central government has high hopes for the development of Wushan High-tech Development Zone and Wushan, and is extremely dissatisfied with the power struggle of Wushan, and does not want to influence the overall development of Wushan in the future due to personnel intensive work. This is to learn from the Shenzhen political model a few years ago, appoint a cadre with outstanding capabilities to take charge, and use absolute power to straighten out various relationships for Wushan's development and lay a foundation for pioneering.

The day before the Wushan Economic and Trade Delegation left Hong Kong, Hong Kong media reported again that the Wushan City Advisory Committee was banned by the central government. It is said that it was because the Central Committee No. 1 stated that it believed that the Advisory Committee in areas with special economic development was more harmful than good, so the Wushan City Advisory Committee was abolished. The former member of the Wushan City Advisory Committee was appointed as a member of the Provincial Advisory Committee, and the former member of the Wushan City Advisory Committee was properly resettled by the Wushan Municipal Party Committee Old Cadre Bureau.

When Chen Sanshui saw this news, he could not describe his mood. Director Yu Gong fell down and the Municipal Advisory Committee was banned again. This was the most cruel blow to Director Lu Zheng, because Director Lu Zheng was born in the Municipal Advisory Committee. It is said that many veteran cadres are optimistic about him. This is also Director Lu Zheng’s most valuable network of contacts. Now, everything is gone.

Even Chen Sanshui deliberately alienated Lu Zheng, which was nothing else. He was afraid that he would not help but show sympathetic gaze when facing Director Lu Zheng. This kind of gaze was what Director Lu Zheng was most reluctant to see now?
