"So what." Tian Haoyi rolled his eyes and his voice became very dissatisfied: "Why are you talking for the other party?"
Tong Haizhou didn't want to speak for anyone. He just wanted the matter to end as soon as possible. Just this morning, he heard something from one of his subordinates.
There is an old textile company in Minghai City. It has been on the verge of bankruptcy for many years. Some time ago, a clothing manufacturer from the south came to inspect. It was interested in the strong production capacity and rich industry experience of this factory and wanted to acquire it wholly.
If the acquisition is successful, the factory's bad debts and worker placement problems will all be solved. It will also create a large number of jobs for Minghai and pay huge taxes. This is a win-win situation. So with the strong promotion of the city government, the two parties negotiated Smooth sailing.
But just as the signing was about to be signed, the clothing dealer suddenly changed his face and walked away. The contract prepared in advance became a pile of waste paper. Minghai City also faced tens of millions of losses as a result.
It turned out that the clothing dealer's son belonged to the Chaoshan Gang, and the factory chief's son belonged to the Northeast Gang. In this conflict, the former was injured by the latter.
Although such a coincidence can be regarded as an individual case, it is difficult to say whether other things will come out as the matter continues to be involved. At present, the city government has exerted pressure and asked Tong Haizhou to close the case as soon as possible. It is estimated that similar news will be heard from other aspects in the near future. Opinion.
Therefore, Tong Haizhou was not angry when he heard Tian Haoyi's accusation: "I'm just telling the truth. Although the Northeast Gang suffered a lot of injuries, it also hurt a lot of people..."
"Don't talk to me about this." Tian Haoyi interrupted Tong Haizhou unceremoniously: "The Northeast Gang, the Chaoshan Gang. It has nothing to do with me. I don't care why their gangs fight or what comes out of the fight. I Now I only know that my son was injured. The one who hit my son must pay the price."
Tong Haizhou reminded him lightly: "Your son is a member of the Northeast Gang."
"I didn't know about this at first..." Tian Haoyi relaxed somewhat: "We are all engaged in law. How could we let our children join gangs? Not even in schools. Now I know. Wait. This kid has recovered from his injury. Take him home and teach him a lesson. But right now, we can’t just let it go."
"You want to teach your son a lesson. It's a matter later. At least for now, he is still a member of the Northeast Gang after all." Tong Haizhou took out a box of cigarettes and lit it for Tian Haoyi: "You want to punish the Chaoshan Gang. Likewise, Chaoshan The gang also wants to get rid of the Northeast Gang. It’s pointless to continue fighting like this. It’s better for everyone to take a step back.”
Tian Haoyi took a deep puff, letting the pungent smoke fill his lungs. Then he slowly exhaled the light smoke, which somewhat diluted the tense atmosphere in the office. Tian Haoyi's tone became more relaxed: "What if my little bastard committed something?" Deal with it how you want to deal with it. As for other people, I can't control it."
"you mean……"
"If the Chaoshan Gang wants to deal with the Northeast Gang, they can do it. It won't hinder my surnamed Tian."
"You can ignore others, but you can't ignore Zhu Wangping."
When Tian Haoyi heard this, he was shocked: "Why is he involved in this?"
"Of course. His son Zhu Hong is a key member of the Northeast Gang. This time he injured several people in the Chaoshan Gang. Now his parents are demanding strict action."
"real."
"We have talked to this point. Do you think I need to lie to you?"
Tian Haoyi finally stopped insisting: "This... seems like we really need to think about it..."
"I understand. Zhu Wangping has been having a meeting behind closed doors these days. He will fly over soon after the meeting is over." Tong Haizhou smiled slightly. Tong Haizhou continued: "I believe that when he arrives, he will tell you the same thing as me. ."
Tong Haizhou had inquired before. Zhu Wangping was Tian Haoyi's old boss. The latter was promoted by the former. Now the two are on the same level. Although they are not in the same place, the relationship still exists.
The two of them sent their sons to No. 1 Middle School together. They considered that both of them were studying abroad so they could take care of each other. They would occasionally talk about their sons' situation, but it was just casual chat. No one knew what the yamen were doing at school. What is it like? In addition, there has been no contact during this period of time, so neither of them knows that the other party is also involved in this matter.
In any case, because of Zhu Hong's concerns, Tian Haoyi had to give in and accepted the compensation proposed by Huang Jiaming's family. At the same time, he gave up the right to further pursue responsibility.
With Tian Haoyi's breakthrough, it was easy for others to overcome it. Finally, through the mediation of Tong Haizhou, the Chaoshan Gang and the Northeast Gang reached a reconciliation.
Speaking of which, the reconciliation is only temporary. These students are full of blood, and they all rely on some power in their families. They will definitely provoke each other in the future. But future matters may as well be left to the future.
In addition, Tong Haizhou and Li Wentao talked several times and found that although No. 1 Middle School was trying its best to get the students out, they would definitely have to deal with it after they returned. However, these were internal affairs of No. 1 Middle School and were beyond the scope of responsibilities. Tong Haizhou was not needed. worry.
On this day, Tong Haizhou had just explained the last thing related to this case. Tong Tong came in jumping: "Grandpa is here."
"Dad..." Tong Haizhou hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Why are you here again?"
"What do you mean 'again'?" Tong Zhengrong rolled his eyes at Tong Haizhou: "What you say is really unpleasant. I came over to see my granddaughter. Do I need your approval?"
"That's not what I meant..." Tong Haizhou smiled awkwardly: "You are also very busy at work. You just had a meeting in Minghai a few days ago. You shouldn't have other work so soon."
"I really don't have much work when I come here this time. I just gave myself a holiday. I came here to see my granddaughter." Tong Zhengrong sat on the sofa, put his arms around Tongtong and said with a smile: "How are you studying recently? Are you okay? People bully you."
Tongtong pursed his lips: "Grandpa, you ask these questions every time. Are you tired?"
"Of course you are not tired." Tong Zhengrong shook his head: "Grandpa is afraid that your grades will not be good. You must know that No. 1 Middle School is a good school. You have to study hard to be worthy of grandpa and teachers..."
"It's a good school..." Tong Haizhou said with emotion when he heard this sentence: "But there are also black sheep."
"Hey." Tong Zhengrong asked strangely, "What do you mean by that?"
"The case I handled recently was related to No. 1 Middle School."
"Weren't you always at the Handu Hotel?"
"I thought the Handu Hotel case was big enough. I didn't expect that a fight between a group of students would lead to more things..." Tong Haizhou sighed and recounted the whole incident.
After hearing this, Tong Zhengrong's eyes widened immediately: "Assholes. These students now are so outrageous. They started gangs in school at a young age. What will happen in society in the future?"
"Grandpa, these things are normal now..." Tongtong added: "It happens in every school."
"Humph. What kind of society is this? The world is in decline. People's hearts are not as old as they used to be..." Tong Zhengrong glanced at his granddaughter and asked carefully: "Wait a minute. Tong Tong, isn't he also joining this Laoshizi gang? ."
"Not at all." Tongtong shook his head: "I have joined the ancient martial arts club in school. The club often organizes activities and often gathers for dinner and singing. It is very interesting."
"That's pretty much it... By the way. What is the Ancient Martial Arts Society?"
"It's a student club for learning Chinese classical martial arts. But since the new president, the content has increased a lot. Now many activities are related to traditional culture, such as calligraphy, seal cutting, guzheng and Hanfu, as well as other entertainment. Tongtong curled his lips and said, "Our club is so good. I don't want to join any gang."
"That's pretty much it." Tong Zhengrong nodded slightly: "Tongtong, grandpa asked you to do martial arts since elementary school. It was to strengthen your body and fight against injustice. He didn't ask you to go out and fight with others."
Tong Haizhou is very busy with his daily work and rarely cares about his daughter's studies. He was attracted when he heard these words: "I thought the club in your school was just a bunch of kids from rich families hanging out together. So, your president still... Quite talented.”
"Yeah." Tongtong said casually: "His name is Ling Cang. He is a freshman in high school."
"Ling Cang." Tong Zhengrong frowned: "Is he the student you asked me to teach you last time?"
Before Tongtong could answer, Tong Zhengrong's guard came in, holding a pot of fairy fruit in his hand: "Chief, I just bought it. Try it. It's delicious."
This guard has Tong Zhengrong's trust very much. He is like a member of the Tong family in many cases. He doesn't know anything about the Tong family. However, he doesn't know much about the Tong family and doesn't know about Tong Tong's problems.
Tong Zhengrong waved his hands hurriedly: "Take it out. Take it out. Take it out quickly."
"What's wrong?" The guard was stunned. He thought Tong Zhengrong was allergic to fairy fruit.
"It's okay..." Tongtong generously took the basin over, picked out one and tasted it: "Yeah, it's delicious. Dad, grandpa, you guys should try it too."
Tong Zhengrong and Tong Haizhou were stunned when they saw this scene. Because Tong Tong has severe object phobia.
Anything densely arranged in any place will make Tongtong feel sick. Many times, even normal life will have problems. The family has tried to send Tongtong to see a psychiatrist several times. But Tongtong always felt that it was a mental illness that should be treated. Where to go. So I refused.
Looking at Tongtong now, she looks exactly like a normal girl. She no longer screams when she sees similar things like in the past.
"Tongtong..." After a long time, Tong Zhengrong asked cautiously: "Look at these things...don't you feel sick anymore."
"Yes." Tongtong nodded while eating: "It's cured... At least it's almost cured."
"Who cured it?"
"Yes..." Tongtong hesitated for a moment before replying: "It's Ling Cang."
"How did he cure it?"
"He said just look at similar things often and gradually overcome your fear."
"then……."
"So I went to see the lotus pods every day."
"How can you bear it?" Tong Haizhou almost lost his breath when he heard this. He knew very well that Tongtong's symptoms were much stronger than ordinary people. Facing things like lotus pods for a long time would cause tremendous pain. .
"You have to endure it even if you can't bear it. Because Ling Cang said that as long as you can bear all the pain and misfortune, you can become a heroine."
"Oh...this seems to make sense..."
"By the way. Grandpa..." Tongtong glanced at Tong Haizhou and asked softly: "I asked you to teach Ling Cang a lesson last time. Didn't you send someone to do it?"
"Ah...I was just planning to send someone there..."
"Then there's no need to send anyone." Tongtong shook his head: "Actually, he's not very bad..."
In fact, even if Tong Tong didn't mention it, Tong Zhengrong still had Ling Cang in his heart. On the surface, he was on vacation, but in fact, he still had to deal with many things, including Ling Cang.
The investigation team previously sent to Daxinganling has sent back the news. After on-site visits, they found many doubtful points.
Lingcang's registered residence is in a natural village. Not one of the more than ten households is a local. They all moved to Daxinganling from other places more than ten years ago. Although this behavior is puzzling, their procedures are legal and their family backgrounds are innocent. No problem can be found.
Ling Cang, on the other hand, seemed to appear out of thin air. The investigation team reviewed all the files. From the civil affairs department to the public security department, they could not find where Ling Cang came from. And all these files were legal and reasonable. It was impossible to tell. There are some flaws. The relevant staff are only responsible for safekeeping. I can’t tell what happened back then.
Later, the investigation team found the retired director of civil affairs. This person had worked in the local area for decades and was familiar with all situations. The director thought that he had been found to have embezzled public funds and was about to be punished. He was shocked and said Everything was told.
It turns out that at that time, foreign businessmen came to the local area to inspect investment. In order to protect foreign investment, the local government mobilized all departments. No matter what requirements the foreign businessmen made, as long as they did not break the law, they all agreed.
But the foreign businessmen really didn’t understand what they were asking for. They just found the director in private and asked to arrange a child locally. To put it bluntly, they brought a child and wanted the director to have an identity in the local area. They promised a large amount of money. The benefit fee is enough for three generations of the director's descendants to enjoy endlessly. The only condition is to keep this secret for life.
It was for both public and private interests. The director agreed. So an orphan named Ling Cang was born out of thin air. All files and documents were handled by the director himself. Although the director never understood the purpose of foreign businessmen doing this .
Ling Cang grew up in that village. Those who moved there before seemed to be surrounding Ling Cang. According to the reports of surrounding residents, in the past ten years, outsiders often came and went. But nothing happened there. .So it didn’t attract the attention of the local government.
The clues stopped here. The investigation team found the natural village and found that most of the people had moved away after Lingcang left. The few remaining young people could not provide any clues at all.
