Chapter 60: Making Trouble

  Qin turned east and picked up his teacup, taking a sip before speaking in a light tone: "Qin Hao, have you been using my name to scheme against the Ding Sheng Group of Lan Zhou recently?"

  Qin Hao was startled and glanced at Qin Shenghan diagonally across from him.

  Qin Sheng Han silently puffed on his cigarette, his face expressionless.

  Qin Hao licked his lips: "Uncle, it's actually like this..."

  "Is this really true?" Qin Xiangdong's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "Yes." Qin Hao lowered his head.

  "You're quite bold, aren't you? Daring to use my name to act recklessly!" Qin Xiangdong sneered.

  Qin Hao's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, his face turned deathly pale, and he didn't dare say a word.

  "Say, why go after Jing Sheng Group." Qin Xiangdong asked in a low voice.

  Qin Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stuttered: "It's because of Gu Changfeng, the chairman of Ding Sheng Group's daughter..." Qin Hao spent a few minutes telling the whole story.

  "Hmph!" Qin Xiangdong glared at Qin Hao: "A woman is also worth your trouble!"

  Qin Hao lowered his head, avoiding Qin Xiangdong's piercing gaze, his body slightly trembling, revealing the tension in his heart.

  "Brother, don't be angry, young people are like that, they're a bit impulsive when doing things." At this time, Qin Shenghan came out to mediate.

  "It's all because of your doing as a father, Qin Hao is now simply a second-generation ancestor." Qin Xiangdong scolded, not giving Qin Shenghan any face at all.

  Qin Sheng's old face turned slightly red as he awkwardly said, "Big brother, don't get angry, I'll immediately tell Xiao Hao to stop scheming against Ding Sheng Group..."

  Qin Xiangdong waved his hand, interrupting Qin Shenghan's speech, and said slowly after a moment of contemplation: "Since we've already taken action, there's no need to stop now. A merchant's daughter dares to bully my nephew? She should be taught a lesson." Qin Xiangdong was also somewhat biased towards his nephew because he had no children of his own, so he treated Qin Hao as if he were his own son and loved him dearly. Moreover, in Qin Xiangdong's eyes, a merchant, no matter how wealthy, was nothing compared to an official. The gap between merchants and officials was enormous.

  "Big Uncle, you..." Hearing Qin Xiangdong's words, Qin Hao was suddenly delighted.

  "Now that you've decided to make a move on Ding Sheng Group, take bold action and speed up your pace." Qin Xiangdong took a puff of his cigarette: "Of course, we also need to pay attention to the impact, don't make too much noise."

  Qin Xiangdong's statement made Qin Hao feel a sense of relief.

  "Thank you, Uncle," Qin Xiangdong said gratefully. Originally, Qin Hao thought he would be severely scolded by Qin Xiangdong, but unexpectedly, Qin Xiangdong supported him in taking down the Ding Sheng Group, which was really beyond his expectations.

  "Ding dong ding!" The clock in the living room struck midnight.

  "Big brother, I heard rumors that Governor Zhang is going to be transferred?" Qin Shenghan said suddenly.

  "Yes, transferred to another province as provincial party secretary." Qin Xiangdong did not hide it and directly confirmed the news.

  Qin Hao sat on one side, busily peeling apples for his father and uncle, looking very honest.

  "Is your hope big or small?" Qin Sheng Han hesitated for a moment, and still said what he thought in his heart. Qin Sheng Han's meaning was very simple: now that Zhang Province has been transferred away, can the vacant provincial position be taken over by Qin Xiangdong?

  Qin Xiangdong shook his head, then nodded: "It's hard to say, the current situation in the province is a bit complicated, many people are eyeing the position of provincial governor......" In fact, Qin Xiangdong also wanted to take it further, to succeed as provincial governor and become the number one person in the government. Unfortunately, there were too many competitors, making it very difficult. However, Qin Xiangdong did not give up, actively striving for it. Qin Xiangdong's advantage was his seniority, having served as vice-governor for 10 years, with a network of old subordinates spread throughout the province, and being a local power figure.

  "If there's anything I can help with, just let me know." Qin Shenghan said sincerely.

  Qin nodded: "This matter needs to be planned slowly, it can't be rushed...... Alright, it's getting late, let's rest." As he spoke, he extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the ashtray, then stood up and went upstairs. Qin had a dedicated bedroom in this villa.

  Qin Sheng Han was also somewhat tired, and after instructing Qin Hao with a couple of sentences, he went upstairs to rest as well.

  Dingsheng Group welcomed a big shot today, Luo Chengfeng, Deputy Secretary of Lanzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Director of the Supervision Office.

  Luo Chengfeng is a legendary figure in the officialdom of Lanzhou City. From an unknown office clerk, he used 10 years to climb to the position of Deputy Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and this year he is only 35 years old, it can be said that his future prospects are boundless.

  Gu Changfeng personally came out to greet him.

  "Vice Secretary Luo, welcome to Ding Sheng Group to guide our work." Gu Changfeng warmly greeted.

  Luo Chengfeng nodded slightly: "Director Gu, hello, I'm here today to investigate a case."

  "What case?" Gu Changfeng was taken aback:

  Luochengfeng took out an anonymous letter from his bag and handed it to Guchangfeng: "Someone has anonymously reported that you spent a huge amount of money bribing some government officials, using illegal means for business activities. Now please come with us to the Discipline Inspection Commission to make a statement."

  Gu Changfeng glanced at the anonymous letter and frowned: "Deputy Secretary Luo, do you want to arrest me just based on an anonymous letter?"

  Luo Chengfeng shook his head: "Director Gu, you misunderstood. I didn't say we're going to arrest you. We just need your assistance in the investigation. Secretary Liu of the Municipal Party Committee has already been informed and requires our Discipline Inspection Commission to strictly investigate this matter." The Secretary Liu mentioned by Luo Chengfeng was actually Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Chengcai.

  Gu Changfeng shook his head: "Deputy Secretary Luo, I have never bribed any official. This anonymous letter is purely a frame-up."

  "Whether it's a false accusation or not, we will naturally investigate clearly. Now please follow me to the Discipline Inspection Commission for a trip, and assist us in the investigation." Luo Chengfeng waved his hand, and several staff members who followed Luo Chengfeng surrounded Gu Changfeng in the middle.

  "What do you want to do!" Gu Jialan and Lin San led a large group of security guards rushing over.

  Lin San waved his hand and a group of security guards immediately surrounded Luo Chengfeng and others in the middle.

  Luo Chengfeng glanced at the security guards around him and looked coldly at Gu Changfeng: "Chairman Gu, I hope you don't do anything stupid."

  Gu Changfeng looked deeply at Luo Chengfeng and then turned to Lin San saying: "Withdraw all the security guards."

  "The former chairman..." Lin Sang was about to say something when Gu Changfeng raised his hand and interrupted him.

  "What? Didn't you hear what I just said?" Gu Changfeng furrowed his brow.

  Lin San slightly raised the corner of his mouth and ordered the security guards around him: "All of you retreat."

  Upon hearing Lin San's order, the security guards slowly retreated to one side.

  Luo Chengfeng coldly gazed at Gu Changfeng, without saying a word.

  Gu Changfeng took a deep breath and stared straight at Luo Chengfeng: "I'll go with you."

  Luo Chengfeng smiled: "Director Guo, indeed a clever person."

  "Dad, you can't go with them." Gu Jialan shouted loudly.

  Lin San led the security guards and rushed over again.

  "Everyone stop right there!" Gu Changfeng glared at the security guards.

  Seeing Gu Zhangfeng get angry, the security guards immediately stopped in their tracks and didn't dare to take another step forward.

  Gu Changfeng turned his head and looked at Gu Jialan with a smile on his face: "Jialan, don't worry, Dad will be fine. During the time I'm away, you're in charge of the company." After finishing speaking, Gu Changfeng turned his head to look at Lin San: "Lin San, take good care of Jialan for me and don't let her suffer any grievances."

  Lin San nodded slightly: "I will."

  Gu Changfeng took a last look at Gu Jialan and followed Luo Chengfeng out of the company.

  "Dad!" Gu Jialan's eyes turned red and tears fell down.

  Lin San hastily stepped forward and comforted Gu Jialan: "Jialan, don't worry, Uncle Gu will be fine."

  Gujalan just kept shedding tears without saying a word.

  News came that day that Gu Changfeng was detained by the discipline inspection commission, saying that Gu Changfeng was suspected of bribing government officials and would be put under case investigation.

  Gu Jialan immediately pulled strings and went through the back door, hoping to rescue Gu Changfeng, but unfortunately no one was willing to help.

  Lin San hasn't gone home for the past two days, accompanying Gu Jialan all the time. Seeing Gu Jialan's increasingly haggard face, Lin San was heartbroken.

  On the third day of Gu Changfeng's detention, several people from Ding Sheng Group started making trouble.

  30th floor.

  Inside the conference room.

  Gujalan sat in the chairman's position, frowning, with a look of deep concern.

  Lin San stood beside Gu Jialan, his hands behind his back, without saying a word.

  Six middle-aged men sat on both sides of the conference table, all of whom were executives of the Ding Sheng Group.

  "Cough, cough, cough..." A stout middle-aged man broke the silence in the conference room with a loud cough: "Miss Gu, let's get straight to the point. Your respected father has been taken away by the disciplinary committee and will probably be unable to come out for the time being. The position of chairman cannot remain vacant forever. I think we should elect an interim chairman to lead the company..."

  Gujalan sneered and stared straight at the fat man: "General Manager Wang, if you want to be the chairman, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush with so many useless words."

  "Hmm..." General Manager Wang's face turned red, and he let out a cold snort: "Miss Gu, in the Ding Sheng Group, except for your father, I have the most seniority. Now that your father is in trouble, it should be me who temporarily takes over as chairman."

  "That's right, I support it."

  "I also support."

  "I have no opinion."

  Several others who understood the situation nodded in agreement one after another.

  Seeing everyone supporting General Manager Wang as acting chairman, Gu Jialan's face turned extremely ugly.

  Manager Wang smiled slightly and looked at Gu Jialan: "Miss Gu, everyone's opinions have been expressed very clearly. You shouldn't have any objections, should you?" After saying this, a hint of a triumphant smile flashed across Manager Wang's face, and he secretly sneered to himself: A little girl like her, how can she possibly compete with me? Hmph!

  "I disagree!" Gu Jialan said word by word.

  "Director Wang furrowed his brow, gazing coldly at Gu Jialan: 'What right do you have to disagree? Now there are 5 members who support me as acting chairman, you don't have the power to veto!'"

  "Hum! General Manager Wang, don't forget that my father controls 60% of the shares. My father is the largest shareholder and the master of Ding Sheng Group. No one else can be the chairman except for my father!" Gu Jialan said coldly.
