"Hello, Mayor Wu." Qin Lang didn't expect to meet Wu Wenxiang here.
"Qin Lang, what a coincidence. Why? Do you know Director Song?" Wu Wenxiang looked at Qin Lang meaningfully and asked Qin Lang to go in and have a pot of tea with him.
"I know her. She's just a classmate's parent." Qin Lang said lightly.
Wu Wenxiang didn't continue to ask and changed the topic, "Qin Lang, your business is doing well recently. Your security company's performance should be booming, right? "
"I heard it's doing well." Qin Lang said, "I'm just an investor in the company. I don't ask about the specific operations. Anyway, my requirements for them are very simple: do legal things and make money with a conscience. "
"Little Qin, I didn't say that you did anything illegal." Wu Wenxiang smiled, but his smile couldn't hide his worry. It seemed that he had encountered some trouble.
"Mayor Wu, my company's performance is good, but your political achievements are also shining. These few days, I often see you in the newspapers and on TV." Qin Lang said with a smile.
"Heh … don't the newspapers and TV exist for this?" Wu Wenxiang said lightly, "Recently, the public security incidents in Summer Yang City have decreased a lot. This makes me very happy."
"This means that Mayor Wu's action against the underworld is effective." Qin Lang smiled. He thought that most of the people in the underworld in Summer Yang City had become employees of the company. The black had turned white. Of course, the action against the underworld was effective.
Wu Wenxiang also smiled. He obviously understood the meaning behind Qin Lang's words. However, Wu Wenxiang didn't fully agree with Qin Lang's words, "Little Qin, you still think of political struggles too simply. If you think that the news reports on the newspapers and TV are all singing my praises, then you are very wrong. Yes, as an official, we also need publicity to highlight our political achievements. However, our publicity is limited to the point. It's enough to let the higher-ups know what we have done. There's no need to publicize and blow our own trumpets. Everything is as bad as nothing. So, the overwhelming publicity that you see now is not a good thing for me. "
"There's such a saying?" Qin Lang didn't expect political struggles to be so complicated.
If it were other people, Wu Wenxiang wouldn't reveal his true thoughts to them. However, Qin Lang was different. Qin Lang was Wu Wenxiang's family doctor. Moreover, Wu Wenxiang's mother, Old Lady Yan, liked him. In addition, Qin Lang was just a student. There was no conflict of interest. Therefore, Wu Wenxiang could tell Qin Lang things that he rarely revealed to others.
"The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Have you heard of this saying? There's also a saying that the higher you are praised, the harder you fall. Praising someone to death is also a common means of struggle in the officialdom. If you see all the media praising a person, it is very likely that his political opponent has already sounded the horn of struggle. Because when all eyes are focused on you, your shining points are obvious, but your flaws are also illuminated by the spotlight. Everyone has flaws. Once your opponent grasps onto your flaws, it will be magnified infinitely through the spotlight. Then, bad luck will begin to descend on your head. "
Wu Wenxiang's words seemed to be talking about someone else, but it also sounded like he was talking about himself.
The duck knows when the spring water is warm. Could it be that Wu Wenxiang sensed some unfavorable news for him?
Therefore, Qin Lang couldn't help but ask, "Mayor Wu, why do you sound like you're speaking from your heart? Could it be that you've encountered something that doesn't go your way? "
"Matters in the officialdom are most likely difficult to get their way!" Wu Wenxiang sighed. "The big boss of Summer Yang City won't be coming out for a while. However, I heard that the higher-ups have the intention to send someone down. In addition, although the anti-crime operation is going smoothly, I heard that it has affected the interests of some higher-ups. So, the future is not optimistic. "
Qin Lang understood what Wu Wenxiang was worried about. For an official who was eager to improve, not being able to be promoted was the biggest disappointment. However, Qin Lang still comforted him. "Mayor Wu, if you need my help, just let me know."
Wu Wenxiang nodded, but in his heart, he thought that Qin Lang was only a little better at medicine. As a mayor, he couldn't solve the problem. What could Qin Lang do?
At this moment, Wu Wenxiang's cell phone rang. He got up and walked to the window to answer the call. Then, he suddenly shouted angrily, "What's wrong with Zhao Zhiwei? Why did he have to have a problem at this time!"
From Wu Wenxiang's expression, he must have received some bad news.
Sure enough, Wu Wenxiang walked over. Qin Lang said, "Little Qin, something happened. I'm afraid I don't have time to drink tea with you today. I have to go."
Wu Wenxiang turned around and walked to the door. He suddenly turned back and sat down again. "Little Qin, I want to ask you a question."
"Go ahead."
"Just now, the gang members in Nan Ping County were fighting on the streets. They mistakenly killed a Qiang Tribe member. This incident has a very bad influence! However, I feel that this was not a coincidence. It's very likely that someone planned this deliberately. "
"When the spotlight was focused on you, you just happened to create this mess, right?"
"That's right." Wu Wenxiang was very satisfied with Qin Lang's quick thinking. He continued, "If it were you, how would you solve this so that the impact of this incident can be minimized?"
A gang fight wasn't a big deal, but the key was that a Qiang Tribe member had been killed. Moreover, it happened at a time when Wu Wenxiang's achievements in combating crime were being touted. This incident had become a huge irony. If it wasn't handled properly, not only would Wu Wenxiang's achievements be erased, he might even be held accountable by his superiors.
"Suppressing them isn't a good idea. Although the police can arrest some people, they definitely won't be able to catch all of them. Soon, these people will rise again. Moreover, if there are officials secretly supporting them, the effect of suppressing them will be even worse because the gang members will definitely get the news in advance. So, if it were me, I would basically obliterate these troublemaking gang members. That way, those political enemies who want to deal with you won't have any pawns to use, "Qin Lang analyzed.
"That's a good idea!" Wu Wenxiang chuckled, sweeping away the worry on his face. "Then I'll leave this matter to you."
"How … how can I do that?" Qin Lang purposely declined. Actually, he was thinking about how to take over the Green Ring Gang's business. Now that Wu Wenxiang mentioned it, it was exactly what Qin Lang wanted.
"You definitely have a way!" Wu Wenxiang said with certainty. "Aren't the gang members in Summer City content with their place now? If you can do this without causing a big commotion, then dealing with the gangs in a few districts shouldn't be a problem, right? Don't worry, as long as you don't cause a big commotion, I'll take care of everything for you! "
