The intention of Minister Tang's words was very clear.
No matter what Xiao Zheng wanted him to do, he would do it as long as it was within the scope of his acceptance.
But there were some things that should not be said, Minister Tang would not say a word more.
It was not stubbornness, but it would involve too many things, which would destroy his entire political career.
On the other hand, Xiao Zheng, even though he was a Major General of the Long Formation, even though he had an unimaginable background. But it was not so easy to defeat Minister Tang.
It was the lesser of two evils. Minister Tang had been an official for many years, so how could he not understand such a simple truth? How could he not know which was more important?
Xiao Zheng laughed.
He picked up the teacup and took two sips, then looked back at Minister Tang, pursed his lips and said, "So it seems that Minister Tang still looks down on me?"
Do you think that I, Xiao Zheng, can't defeat you?
In order to protect your background, you would rather offend me completely?
Of course, in Xiao Zheng's view, this was not strange.
What was Minister Tang's level?
The second-in-command of the State Council's ministries and commissions, a real vice-ministerial big shot. And at the age of fifty-five. Before his retirement, he became a member of the Central Committee and was ranked at the ministerial level. It was not completely impossible.
In that case, how strong was his backer?
Although Xiao Zheng could not figure out the real identity of the behind-the-scenes planner for the time being, his purpose was already clear.
Minister Tang shook his head. Although he was completely suppressed by Xiao Zheng, he was still very frank. "Boss Xiao, I can assure you that Young Master Linghu's project will not be delayed any longer. But I really can't say anything else. "
Xiao Zheng smiled and asked, "Minister Tang, are you afraid that your future will be in danger?"
Minister Tang heard this and frowned slightly, "Boss Xiao, I am my answer."
He gave up entangling with Xiao Zheng. From another point of view, it could be said that he had completely admitted defeat.
The dignified Executive Deputy Minister of Commerce actually lost to a young man in his early thirties. Although this young man had a quite extraordinary background. But how powerful was Minister Tang's background?
However, in the end, his lifeline was seized by Xiao Zheng, and he didn't even have the chance to use his backer. He was directly defeated by a heavy punch.
Xiao Zheng asked a few more questions to make sure that Minister Tang wouldn't say anything else. He slowly stood up and gently patted Minister Tang on the shoulder. "Minister Tang, you may feel very indignant. But what I want to tell you is that even your old comrade, Secretary Song, couldn't do anything to me back then. So, you don't have to be so sad. Didn't the ancients often say that? Victory and defeat are commonplace in a war. "
With that, Xiao Zheng pushed the door open and left the room. Minister Tang, who had a strange expression on his face, was left in the private room where the sounds of vomiting could be heard one after another.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Jiang Qing came up to him. "How did it go?"
Xiao Zheng made an OK gesture and said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble you this time."
"I'm not afraid of trouble," Jiang Qing said, but his expression changed slightly. "General Qi said that if you want people, give them people; if you want a backer, give them a backer. But in terms of money — "
"Haha. This old fox really doesn't want to take any losses. "Xiao Zheng laughed heartily. "Don't worry. For this project, I'll take 10% of the Long Formation. I might have to trouble you in the future. "
"You're also a Long Formation expert." Jiang Qing was not very satisfied with Xiao Zheng's description of Long Formation.
Xiao Zheng was startled, and then immediately laughed at himself. "I've been so focused on making money that I forgot I also have this identity."
Jiang Qing glanced at Xiao Zheng and pursed his lips. "What about those officials?"
Xiao Zheng smiled casually and said, "Let them go. It won't look good for a group of military generals to tie up a civil official. "
"Long Formation is not afraid of trouble." Jiang Qing straightened his back.
"Not afraid of trouble and not causing trouble are two different concepts." Xiao Zheng smiled. "If you can solve the problem by bluffing, try not to make a move. In this day and age, no one can guarantee that they'll be safe. "
Jiang Qing stared blankly at Xiao Zheng. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "You're becoming more and more like a businessman."
"Look at what you're saying." Xiao Zheng joked. "From the time you met me until now, when have I not been a businessman?"
Jiang Qing patted his chest in a very manly manner. "Here, you've never been."
Xiao Zheng blinked and suddenly said a particularly vulgar sentence. "Did you enjoy the slap?"
…
On the surface, Xiao Zheng had successfully averted this crisis. Shang Yao was very happy when she received the news. Linghu Zhu also spurred on and began to push forward the project. But from another perspective, Xiao Zheng was not in a good mood. On the contrary, it was unusually heavy.
This was just a difficult problem that Minister Tang had given the Iron Triangle. It was not even a matter of Minister Tang personally taking action. Such a low-level attack was enough to greatly hinder the Iron Triangle's grand plan. If the culprit behind the scenes came again fiercely and fiercely, or even made a counterattack at the critical juncture of the project development.
Could the Iron Triangle withstand it?
Therefore, in Xiao Zheng's mind, only by finding out the culprit behind the scenes could he take necessary measures to face all possible changes.
But Minister Tang did not mention a word about it. Obviously, he would rather completely offend Xiao Zheng than to reveal any information. Xiao Zheng could do nothing about it.
He could not grab Minister Tang's weakness and force him to his death, could he?
After all, he was a deputy minister. Xiao Zheng could take advantage of the situation to turn the tables, but to make him submit to him … That was impossible.
Ding ding ding.
On the way home, Xiao Zheng's mobile phone buzzed. He looked at the caller ID. It was Xiao Hu, whom he had not seen for a long time. Hu Jianjun.
Xiao Zheng smiled and answered the phone. "Brat, why do you have time to call me now?"
"I asked for a week's leave. I haven't seen you in a long time, big brother. Come out for a drink? The dinner has been arranged. You're the only one left. "Hu Jianjun's hearty voice came from the other side of the phone.
He had been a soldier for less than two years, but his voice had become a lot calmer. He had the air of a soldier.
Xiao Zheng smiled. "No problem. Give me the address. "
After hanging up, Mo Feng drove straight to the dinner.
It was a relatively secluded private club. After all, it was a place that Young Master Hu frequented, so it was definitely not low-class.
Before the car came to a complete stop, he saw Hu Jianjun running over from afar. His bronze-colored skin was particularly eye-catching. It formed a strong contrast with the snow-white Han Keren standing next to him. Overall, they looked like a perfect match.
"Big brother!"
As soon as Xiao Zheng got out of the car, Hu Jianjun gave him a warm bear hug. Then, he punched Xiao Zheng in the chest. He grinned and said, "How was it? Strong?"
"You've eaten two taels of rice." Xiao Zheng patted the dust off his chest. His pitch-black eyes swept past Han Keren. "When can I attend your wedding?"
Han Keren blushed. She bit her lip and said, "Big brother Xiao, you're teasing us again. Jianjun is not of legal age yet. "
"What's wrong with that? Boss Hu's grandson wants to get married and start a career. Which civil affairs bureau would dare to refuse? "Xiao Zheng teased.
While Xiao Zheng was teasing, five or six young men dressed very casually walked over. Suddenly hearing Xiao Zheng tease Hu Jianjun, they couldn't help but look at each other with indescribable surprise.
