After entering the downtown area, Anzhe continued to look out the window, then pointed outside: "Stop the car."
Qiao Liang looked outside and saw a high-end teahouse on the roadside.
Zhao Qiang stopped the car and Anzhe opened the door: "Let's have some tea in the teahouse and take a rest."
Qiao Liang and An Zhe got off the car and entered the teahouse, went up to the second floor, found a seat by the window separated by a screen, and ordered a pot of black tea.
Anzhe drank and looked out the window with a thoughtful expression.
Qiao Liang sat quietly opposite Anzhe, refilling his water from time to time.
At this time, two men in their 30s went upstairs, walked directly to the screen partition seats next to them and sat down. One man shouted: "Boss, please have a pot of Tieguanyin."
"Okay, wait a minute."
Soon, the waiter brought them a pot of tea, and they drank and chatted.
Qiao Liang didn't pay attention to these two people. Because they were blocked by a screen and An Zhe and Qiao Liang didn't talk, they didn't seem to notice anyone next door.
"Boss Wang, has your bathing center been doing well recently?" a man asked.
"It's okay so far." Boss Wang said calmly.
"Boss Wang, your bath center is located in the Bihai Hotel. The guests there are all people who are willing to spend money. They will definitely make a lot of money in the future." The man said flatteringly.
Qiao Liang knew that Bihai Hotel was a newly opened five-star hotel in Shizhong District, and its scale and quality were considered first-class in Jiangzhou.
"Hey, brother, if you don't worry about the long term, you will have to worry about the immediate future." Boss Wang sighed.
"What's wrong? Boss Wang." The man asked in confusion.
"I believe your brother also understands that if there is no special service in my bathing center these days, customers will not come. But since there is special service, the police will be on the radar. If they come to sweep every day,
Then I won’t be far from closing the door.”
"I stopped taking care of the security in the area for you some time ago. Why are you still worried about this?"
"Brother, you don't understand what I mean. The people you're dealing with are all minions. They usually take care of them, but if you really want to focus on cracking down on pornography, it's still not safe."
"Boss Wang means..."
"I mean completely worry-free."
"Completely worry-free? How do you want to operate it?"
"Get rid of the boss directly." Boss Wang said simply.
"Oh, you want to get rid of the director?"
"Yes, I heard that there is a new director named Ning Hailong in the branch. If he can be dealt with, he can go on to great things."
Hearing Boss Wang mention Ning Hailong, Qiao Liang's heart moved and he looked at An Zhe, he was also listening.
"Boss Wang's idea is not bad. I have a little brother who I have a good relationship with who drives with Director Ning..."
"That's right. I know that your brother has many connections in Jiangzhou. It seems that I have found the right person today." Boss Wang interrupted the man.
"Haha..." The man smiled triumphantly and continued, "Boss Wang, I want to deal with Director Ning, but it will involve bleeding. I wonder how far Boss Wang can go?"
"This brother can rest assured. As long as Director Ning is willing to help, I guarantee that he will be satisfied, and I will not treat him or the driver who works for Director Ning badly." Boss Wang said happily.
"Boss Wang, can you be more specific? I can send you a message."
Boss Wang lowered his voice: "Brother, I can give 30% of the shares of the bathing center to Director Ning for free. Of course, if Director Ning feels that it is not appropriate to have it in his name, it can be in the name of his family members."
"Boss Wang is really grand in what he does." The man clapped his hands.
Boss Wang continued: "I'll leave this matter to my brother. When it's done, I'll give you 1 million as a hard-earned fee. As for how you share the 1 million with your little brother, I don't care."
The man was overjoyed: "Okay, since Boss Wang is so generous, I will send a message today, and you just wait to hear the good news."
"Haha, thank you very much, brother. Come on, go to my bathing center and have a good time. I will find two young girls who are so tender that they can take care of you. After you are done, you can go do some work."
"Hey, hey, good." The man was overjoyed.
The two of them then paid and left.
After they left, An Zhe frowned and looked at Qiao Liang: "Do you know this director named Ning Hailong?"
Qiao Liang nodded: "I know, he turned out to be the deputy captain of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment, and he just took office as the deputy district chief of Shizhong District and the director of the Public Security Bureau."
"What is this person's quality and style like?" An Zhe asked next.
Qiao Liang's mind raced: "I haven't had much direct contact with him, so I don't know much about this aspect. However, when he was in the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment, Director Lu of the Municipal Public Security Bureau was in charge of criminal investigation, and I had a lot of dealings with him."
"Oh, Lu Qian was in charge of him." An Zhe nodded and thought for a moment, "Do you know Ning Hailong's family situation?"
An Zhe suddenly asked about this. Qiao Liang didn't know if it was related to An Zhe hearing the conversation between the two people just now. Boss Wang said that the shares given to Ning Hailong would be listed in the name of his family.
Qiao Liang thought for a moment: "His father is Ning Zixuan, the retired director of the Municipal Party Committee Research Office, and his ex-wife is Ye Xinyi. He is single now."
"Ye Xinyi is Ning Hailong's ex-wife?" An Zhe was slightly surprised.
"Yes, we just got divorced not long ago."
"Why the divorce? Who asked for the divorce?" An Zhe asked next.
"As far as I know, it was because of Ning Hailong's marital affair and domestic violence against Minister Ye, which led to Minister Ye's pregnancy and miscarriage. Minister Ye insisted on a divorce, but Ning Hailong refused to agree, but just before the city reorganized division-level cadres,
He suddenly agreed to divorce Minister Ye."
"What you mean seems to be that the divorce between Ning Hailong and Ye Xinyi is related to his promotion?"
"I don't know that either."
"So, have you heard who helped Ning Hailong get this promotion?" With many years of officialdom experience, An Zhe was keenly aware that there should be some truth to this.
"Speak directly if you have something to say, don't be long-winded." An Zhe said impatiently.
"Listen, I heard it's Secretary Tang." Qiao Liang said.
"Tang Shusen?"
Qiao Liang nodded: "Secretary Tang was the organization director of the municipal party committee at that time."
An Zhe nodded, and then asked, "Has the relationship between Tang Shusen and Xu Honggang always been bad?"
Qiao Liang was secretly surprised. An Zhe knew a lot. He didn't know how he knew it.
Since An Zhe asked this question, as someone who was once close to Xu Honggang, he was obviously lying if he said he didn't know.
So Qiao Liang nodded.
An Zhe pondered, Ye Xinyi was the person Xu Honggang relied on, and the person Ning Hailong relied on was Tang Shusen. Therefore, their divorce might have something to do with the discord between Tang Shusen and Xu Honggang.
I have long heard that Tang Shusen has cultivated many subordinates in Jiangzhou officialdom over the years. I met Ding Lei in Sanjiang a few days ago, and now there is Ning Hailong, and I don't know what else there are.
While An Zhe was deep in thought, Qiao Liang's cell phone rang. When he saw the call, it was Fang Xiaoya.
Qiao Liang hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should answer Fang Xiaoya's call in front of An Zhe.
An Zhe raised his eyelids and saw Fang Xiaoya's name on the caller ID: "Chairman Fang of Chint Group, answer the call."
