Coffee house.
Li Dong and Chang Yuanshan slowly sipped their coffee.
Chang Yuanshan this person, Li Dong actually did not dislike him too much.
Although he had a grudge with Tanglong Group and Liu Ke was still in custody, Chang Yuanshan didn't deliberately target Li Dong and Far away because of this.
Whether it was because of fear or because he remembered it.
Before Chang Yuanshan did anything bad to Li Dong and Far away, Li Dong didn't want to fall out with him for no reason.
After all, Chang Yuanshan was a provincial official. The phrase 'to strike first' didn't apply to Chang Yuanshan.
The two drank coffee for a while and Li Dong took the initiative to start the topic, "Chang Yuanshan, I heard that the government is about to introduce an economic development plan for a strong industrial province?"
Chang Yuanshan glanced at him and chuckled, "You're quite well-informed. The government is still negotiating and you've already received the news?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "Chang Yuanshan, you sound like I'm deliberately inquiring about government secrets. This isn't news that I've inquired about. The government is implementing a new economic policy. Anyone who pays a little attention knows about it."
Chang Yuanshan smiled and didn't refute.
The government was actually a sieve. Not to mention this kind of news, even the news from the standing committee couldn't be hidden for a day or two.
Chang Yuanshan didn't dwell on this and nodded, "This document is to be introduced. This year, the goal of the Jiangbei government is to transform the economy, innovate and develop, and build an advanced manufacturing base. According to the government's current plan, by 2010, manufacturing will account for 85% of all industrial output. "
Li Dong heard this and said helplessly, "This time, the people in the manufacturing industry can be considered to have made a big profit. It's a pity that Far away. Jiangbei focuses on industry, and we in the service industry are motherless children … "
"Hahaha, General Manager Li's words are not true.
It's true that the government has introduced policies to help the industry, but it didn't say that it wouldn't pay attention to other industries.
Especially Faraway Group, as the largest group in Jiangbei and the number one private group in Jiangbei, the government won't sit back and do nothing.
Far away, the government had offered a lot of support policies over the past two years, including some tax rebates and tax reductions.
Previously, when the Distance Charitable Fund was established, the government had refunded 200 million yuan in taxes.
For this matter, both Secretary Du and Governor Qin had given instructions. Didn't this show the importance that the Jiangbei government attached to Far away?
Far away, in addition to taxes, the government has also given a lot of support policies. General Manager Li can't just go back on his word. "
Chang Yuanshan had a smile on his face as he explained a few sentences. Finally, he teased Li Dong.
When Li Dong heard this, he smiled and said, "I naturally appreciate the Jiangbei government's support for Far away. But as humans, we all have to be greedy. Looking at the government's generous support for the manufacturing industry, my heart was itching. Especially Ma Gang and Chery, in the past two years, the government has given them much more support than us. I can understand that the government has more support for state-owned enterprises, but it's really not easy for private enterprises. I hope that Governor Chang can understand my difficulties. "
Chang Yuanshan nodded and said, "Of course I understand this. I can understand the hardships of being able to bring Far away from a shop to where it is now. General Manager Li, don't worry. As a company that has gone out of Jiangbei and as a major taxpayer of Jiangbei, the province will not forget Far away. "
"Then I'll have to rely on Governor Chang's help in the future."
"It's my duty."
…
The two of them chatted for a while, talking about some general matters.
Of course, Chang Yuanshan wanted to talk to Li Dong about more than that.
After talking about policies, Chang Yuanshan thought for a moment and said, "I'll apologize to General Manager Li on behalf of Ack previously."
Li Dong hurriedly said, "What are you saying, Governor Chang? Tang Long and I had a business dispute. In the business world, it's normal to have some conflicts because of competition. If Governor Chang personally apologizes to me, I can't afford it. "
Chang Yuanshan did not follow up. Instead, he looked at Li Dong and sighed softly, "I know that Ack doesn't have much ability. There are no outsiders here today, so I won't say anything false behind closed doors. Ack is Qiqi's husband after all. Now that he has been taught a lesson, Qiqi has been washing her face with tears every day. As a public servant of the people, I shouldn't have said these words. But as a father, I ask General Manager Li to forgive my selfishness. Liu Ke is still Qiqi's husband and my son-in-law despite all his faults. As a father-in-law, I am also responsible for Liu Ke's mistakes. Therefore, apologizing to General Manager Li today is definitely from the bottom of my heart. "
Chang Yuanshan's words were filled with deep emotions, as if he was fawning over a child.
A dignified deputy minister had lowered his head and admitted his mistakes in front of Li Dong. It could be said that he had done his best.
However, Li Dong's heart tightened slightly. He knew that Chang Yuanshan was not a good person. As expected!
Chang Qiqi washed her face with tears?
Liu Ke had already been taught a lesson?
He, the executive deputy governor, personally apologized?
With a simple sentence, even though Chang Yuanshan did not say it explicitly, his meaning was clear.
Since Liu Ke had been taught a lesson, it would not be good to continue locking him up.
Because of Chang Yuanshan's family relationship with Liu Ke, it was not good for him to come forward. Otherwise, it would be easy to leave a handle.
But if Li Dong, the plaintiff, was willing to come forward, then Liu Ke's trouble would not be trouble anymore. He could probably go home and reunite with his family very soon.
If it were normal times, Li Dong would give this face.
It was just Liu Ke. Chang Yuanshan personally came forward to ask for a favor. If he did not even give this face, then he would really offend the person to death.
But now, Li Dong hesitated for a moment before saying with a slight frown, "Minister Chang, logically speaking, I shouldn't be pursuing this matter."
The moment Li Dong's words came out, Chang Yuanshan's expression changed somewhat.
But Chang Yuanshan did not speak and waited for Li Dong to say the reason.
If there was no special reason, if Li Dong did not give this little bit of face, then it would mean that he did not put him in his eyes at all.
Although today's Far Away was not something that he could bring down alone, he was after all the number two in the provincial government. If he really wanted to find some trouble for Far Away, that would not be a problem.
Seeing Chang Yuanshan staring at him, Li Dong let out a breath and said, "Liu Ke spreading rumors about Far Away is not a big deal to me. Minister Chang is anxious about his daughter, I understand. I will get Far Away's legal department to withdraw the complaint. But the key thing is that the current matter is not something that I can control. Does Minister Chang know about Liu Qing being imprisoned in Sichuan? "
Chang Yuanshan frowned and nodded without saying a word.
"After Liu Qing was imprisoned, he dropped quite a number of things. In addition, there was a huge uproar on the internet back then, and some of those things were also related to Liu Ke. Now, it's not that I say that it will be fine if I don't sue Liu Ke. Minister Chang, please understand this point. Also, there's something that I don't know if I should say it … "
Chang Yuanshan narrowed his eyes and said, "General Manager Li, please speak your mind!"
"Alright, then I'll say it. In my opinion, Liu Ke is doomed this time. Also, Minister Chang has probably been deceived about some matters.
I have also paid attention to it before, and Liu Ke may still have a murder case on him.
Minister Chang has just arrived in Jiangbei, so he may not be clear about some matters.
But over at Sichuan, if Minister Chang is willing to ask, I think he can still get some information.
Liu Ke is not a good match, and he is not someone who hits a person when he is down. This kind of person is really not worthy of Qiqi.
I have also seen Qiqi a few times. The first time I saw her, I knew that Minister Chang's upbringing was not ordinary. Qiqi is just too innocent, and easily deceived … "
The meaning behind Li Dong's words was clear as day.
He was telling Chang Yuanshan that he had not established himself in Jiangbei for long, and had finally stabilized himself with great difficulty. At this time, he should abandon a pawn to protect a rook!
Liu Ke might still be implicated in a series of problems. If he wanted to protect Liu Ke at this time, he would be harming himself.
The best way was to draw a clear line between them, and let Chang Qiqi and Liu Ke divorce.
Although it sounded rather shameless, Li Dong was well aware of the nature of these politicians.
When it really came to a critical moment, what was the point of being shameless?
Chang Yuanshan had reached this step with great difficulty. Was he willing to give up his current position for a Liu Ke?
Thinking about it, he knew it was impossible. Li Dong even maliciously guessed that if it really came to a critical moment, Chang Yuanshan would place righteousness before family, and even give up his own daughter.
Politicians and politicians were different. They were two completely opposite concepts.
Perhaps it was due to the difference in intimacy. At least in Li Dong's opinion, Du Anmin could be counted as a politician, while Chang Yuanshan was at most a politician.
Of course, it might be related to status.
After Li Dong said this, both parties became silent.
Regardless whether Chang Yuanshan really did not know about Liu Ke's matter or pretended not to know, Li Dong explained the matter thoroughly.
At this time, if Chang Yuanshan still let Li Dong stand up for him, that would be finding trouble for Li Dong.
After a long time, Chang Yuanshan's face revealed a smile once more and said, "Everyone says that the onlooker sees things clearly. Maybe I was really influenced by my emotions and lost my rationality. I'll pay attention to this matter when I go back. If it's really as General Manager Li said... "
Finished talking, Chang Yuanshan's face revealed a hint of solemnity as he said, "Then I absolutely won't tolerate and nurture evil!"
Li Dong immediately had a look of admiration as he said, "Chang Yuanshan is indeed selfless! If it were me, I definitely can't do it. Honestly speaking, I've always been thinking about my family in my heart. Sacrificing my family for the greater good, I can't do this. But this doesn't hinder me from respecting these people. The people that I, Li Dong, respect are few, but Chang Yuanshan is absolutely counted as one! "
Chang Yuanshan gave him a glance and did not speak. Li Dong's words could not be any more hypocritical.
But regardless of whether it was hypocritical or not, at the very least, Li Dong's attitude was very friendly.
Mingling in the officialdom for many years, Chang Yuanshan was long used to this kind of conversation style. His face revealed a slightly bitter smile as he said, "I'm not as noble as General Manager Li said. General Manager Li's words make this face of me have no place to put it."
Li Dong hurriedly became courteous.
The two people exchanged pleasantries. Finally, Chang Yuanshan looked at the time and said, "General Manager Li, I still have a meeting to arrange in the afternoon, so I won't disturb you. When there's time next time, let's chat slowly. "
Li Dong hurriedly got up to pay the bill, then sent Chang Yuanshan out of the coffeehouse.
All the way until Chang Yuanshan got into the car did Li Dong let out a sigh and muttered, "I'm really getting more and more shameless now."
If it were a year ago, even if Li Dong rejected Chang Yuanshan, he could not say these words either.
But now, these words came out of his mouth.
A year ago, rejecting Chang Yuanshan, then today, this person was definitely offended.
But now, according to the thoughts of politicians, Li Dong was really not considered to offend people too much. Even if Chang Yuanshan had dissatisfaction in his heart, it would not be too much.
Shaking his head slightly, Li Dong could not be bothered to think anymore. Perhaps this was the so-called maturity.
