Wang Chong took down notes very quickly, and the notes in the book were all strange combinations of symbols and numbers. Even if the book was lost and someone else found it, it would be impossible to tell what was recorded. Only Xu Yougang and the others knew the pattern of these symbols.
The two cars followed Liu Haojun's car all the way into the Sanshan District.
Liu Haojun's car drove directly into the provincial capital's courtyard. No matter how resourceful Xu Yougang and the others were, it was impossible for them to follow Liu Haojun into the heavily guarded courtyard. They found a relatively secluded spot not far away where they could still see the provincial capital's main gate and parked their car.
Wang Chong had recorded the time Liu Haojun entered the courtyard, but he didn't know who he was meeting with.
… …
Half an hour later, Liu Haojun walked down from his office, feeling refreshed.
He had gained a lot from this trip to the provincial capital. Although that 'Uncle Fan', out of professional habit, hadn't given him any guarantees, he had provided a very reliable solution. At the very least, in Liu Haojun's view, the Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory project was still very promising.
At this moment, Liu Haojun had buried his hatred for Xia Ruofei deep in his heart. He wanted to settle the matter of the project first. Once the Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory was settled in Changping, it would be very easy for him to control Xia Ruofei.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he let Xia Ruofei off for the time being and allowed the Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory branch to be built smoothly, he wouldn't suffer any losses. On the contrary, the more prosperous Xia Ruofei's pharmaceutical factory became, the greater the political rewards he would receive. This was equivalent to saying that every cent that Xia Ruofei's pharmaceutical factory earned was a political achievement for him.
It could be said that as long as the pharmaceutical factory was settled in Changping, Liu Haojun would be in an invincible position.
The driver drove the car to the building. After Liu Haojun got in, he let out a long sigh, as if venting all the depression he had accumulated over the past few days.
"Secretary, where to next?" The driver asked respectfully.
"Back to Changping!" Liu Haojun said.
"Yes!"
The car started slowly and drove out of the courtyard.
Liu Haojun leaned against the soft chair and closed his eyes to rest. Wu Liqian's figure appeared in his mind from time to time.
Men were sometimes like this. The more they couldn't get something, the more they wanted it.
Wu Liqian's resistance to him made him feel like his heart was being scratched. On this matter, his mentality had developed in the direction of a serious imbalance.
Wu Liqian was far away from the capital. For the time being, Liu Haojun would not be able to "attack" Wu Liqian. Because of this, his irritation did not lessen much because of his meeting with Uncle Fan today.
On the contrary, he felt a ball of fire burning in his heart. If this ball of evil fire was not released, he felt that he would be suffocated to death.
Liu Haojun furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "Lao Zhou, we're not going back to Changping. Take me to the West Lake Residence!"
"Yes, Secretary!" the driver, Lao Zhou, said.
Lao Zhou was brought over from the capital by Liu Haojun. He had worked for Family Liu for a long time and was loyal to the Family Liu. Liu Haojun did not hide many things from him.
In reality, Lao Zhou was still receiving his salary from Family Liu. In Changping County, he was only responsible for driving Liu Haojun. Normally, his management was not under the jurisdiction of the government's motorcade. He was basically Liu Haojun's personal chauffeur.
Of course, this did not comply with the regulations. However, for such a small matter, everyone turned a blind eye. They would not nitpick and ask Liu Haojun to rectify it.
Although he had only been in Southeast Province for a few months, Lao Zhou was still very familiar with the places Liu Haojun frequented.
The West Lake Residence was a place Liu Haojun frequented. After Lao Zhou drove away from the provincial government compound, he made a left turn with ease and drove in the direction of the West Lake Residence.
The West Lake Residence was the name of a high-end real estate in Sanshan City. It was located next to the West Lake Park in the center of Sanshan City. The price of the second-hand real estate in this real estate far exceeded the price of new real estate in the same area. Whether it was the location or the natural environment, it was impeccable. Even the zoning was very good. It was a direct subordinate of Sanshan City and had always been one of the top three primary schools in the city.
When the average price of real estate in Sanshan City was around ten thousand, the average price of this real estate was close to twenty thousand. After a few years of crazy growth, the price of real estate in Sanshan City was around thirty thousand. The price of the second-hand real estate in the West Lake Residence was around fifty thousand per square meter. It was definitely a high-end real estate.
Xia Ruofei's inference was also very accurate. People like Liu Haojun could not live an ascetic life no matter where they went. A dog could not change its habit of eating sh * t.
In fact, Liu Haojun already had a woman not long after he arrived in Southeast Province. For this reason, he specially bought a penthouse apartment in the West Lake Residence. It was so that when he needed it, he could have a quiet, private, and very safe place to have fun.
Xu Yougang and the others naturally followed immediately.
In the car in front, Liu Haojun did not avoid the driver, Lao Zhou. He directly took out his phone and dialed a number. "Where are you? If there's nothing else, get off work early! I'll wait for you at the West Lake Residence! "
…
At Sanshan TV Station's City Channel, the female host, Fang Chenchen, had just finished recording an episode and was removing her makeup in the dressing room. When her phone rang, she told the makeup artist to stop and then took the phone to the bathroom before answering the call.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Chenchen sighed. After returning to the dressing room, she said, "Sister Ling, hurry up. I have some urgent matters to attend to in a bit. I have to go first …"
"Okay!" the dressing room replied.
After removing her makeup, Fang Chenchen simply tidied up and hurriedly took the elevator downstairs with her handbag. She found her red Beetle in the underground parking lot of the TV station and quickly drove away in the direction of the West Lake Residence.
Along the way, Fang Chenchen's mood was a bit complicated. She hated herself for being vain. At the same time, she kept telling herself that her current life was something she did not even dare to think about in the past. Moreover, as long as she endured for one or two more years, she would be able to get a mansion in the West Lake Residence.
These two voices were constantly fighting in her heart.
Fang Chenchen and Liu Haojun's meeting was both accidental and inevitable.
A few months ago, Fang Chenchen was still a reporter for the TV station. Every day, she was busy rushing to various news sites and often had to work overtime to write manuscripts. Her life was very hard.
Not long after Liu Haojun took office, Fang Chenchen came to Changping County to interview for an event. It was also the first time she met Liu Haojun, who represented the county at the event.
Her beautiful face and attractive body made Liu Haojun's eyes light up. Because of this, she became the object of envy of many reporters. After the event, she got the opportunity to interview Liu Haojun.
This meeting completely changed the trajectory of Fang Chenchen's life.
The two exchanged contact information. From that day on, Liu Haojun also frequently contacted Fang Chenchen.
At first, Fang Chenchen did not think much of it. Although she knew that Liu Haojun definitely had feelings for her, she did not show any rejection. Even though she already had a family and a four-year-old child, deep in her heart, she still longed to change her life.
Of course, Fang Chenchen did not have the idea of betraying her husband and family from the beginning. She wanted to maintain this ambiguous relationship and use Liu Haojun's power to change her current situation.
However, if Liu Haojun took a fancy to her, how could Fang Chenchen escape from his grasp?
Fang Chenchen did not even dare to imagine that Liu Haojun would do anything to achieve his goal.
She took the first step after a dinner party three months ago.
That day, Liu Haojun organized a dinner party. Other than Fang Chenchen, the people who attended the dinner party were people from some departments with real power in the city and province. There was even a young director who came down from a ministry in Beijing on a business trip.
That was also the first time that Fang Chenchen saw Liu Haojun's power. During the dinner party, those leaders who were higher in rank than Liu Haojun, including the director of the ministry in Beijing, were very enthusiastic about Liu Haojun. They did not call him "Secretary Liu" but "Young Master Liu". They all faintly felt that Liu Haojun was the center of attention.
From the conversation of those people, Fang Chenchen vaguely guessed that Liu Haojun should be from a big family in Beijing, which was the legendary "XX Party".
That night, Liu Haojun repeatedly asked the leaders to toast Fang Chenchen. Soon, she drank a little too much.
After the dinner party, Liu Haojun naturally took on the task of sending Fang Chenchen home. And he did not send Fang Chenchen home at all. Instead, he directly went to a nearby five-star hotel and booked a room.
Although Fang Chenchen drank a little too much, her mind was still relatively clear.
She knew very well what would happen next. When Liu Haojun helped her into the room, she had a trace of hesitation. But when she thought of her plain and simple life, and then recalled Liu Haojun's high-spirited appearance at the dinner party, her last trace of hesitation disappeared.
Everything happened naturally in the midst of Fang Chenchen's half-heartedness.
Liu Haojun seemed to have a special preference for Fang Chenchen, who was a married woman. That night, he performed beyond his usual standards and went at it with Fang Chenchen three times.
That was also the first time Fang Chenchen did not return home at night. But her honest husband was very easy to fool. Just as the two were going at it, her husband called to ask about it. She dismissed him with a few words. She said that there was an urgent manuscript at the desk and that she might have to work overtime until very late, so she directly slept in the office. Her husband also urged her to pay attention to rest and not tire herself out.
On the other side, Liu Haojun could not wait to get on with her again. Fang Chenchen hurriedly dismissed her husband with a few words and hung up the phone. Otherwise, she was really worried that she would not be able to control herself and would make that kind of sound.
Early the next morning, Liu Haojun directly laid out the conditions for Fang Chenchen, saying that he would support her.
Liu Haojun's conditions were completely irresistible to Fang Chenchen. A monthly allowance of 100,000 yuan and a penthouse apartment in the West Lake Mansion worth more than 3 million yuan. Of course, this apartment was under Liu Haojun's name. He said that as long as Fang Chenchen accompanied him until he was transferred back to Beijing, he would transfer the ownership of the apartment to Fang Chenchen before he left.
Another thing that Fang Chenchen could not refuse was that Liu Haojun made it clear that as long as Fang Chenchen was with him, he would spare no effort to help her in her career.
Fang Chenchen almost did not hesitate and agreed.
Liu Haojun's promise was quickly fulfilled. In addition to the fact that the apartment was ready-made, she received a transfer of 100,000 yuan to her account on the same day.
Moreover, as soon as she returned to the station, Fang Chenchen received a notice that she had been transferred from the reporter department to a program group as a female anchor.
For Fang Chenchen, who had a broadcasting background, being a reporter had never been a job she wanted. She preferred the feeling of being on the broadcasting station.
Not long after, Fang Chenchen replaced another female anchor and became the anchor of a popular program in the city station. In a short span of a few months, she had gone from being an unknown foreign news reporter to a pillar of City TV with a "magnificent turnaround."
Now, Fang Chenchen could be said to be the "Big Sister" of the city station. The program group's budget was constantly increasing, and all kinds of publicity were given full support. There was a team of seven to eight makeup artists, designers, and so on that were dedicated to serving her. Their salaries and bonuses had also doubled.
It could be said that Fang Chenchen's life had undergone earth-shattering changes.
In such days, Fang Chenchen's vanity was greatly satisfied, especially when she saw that some anchors who did not look at her in the eye before had to respectfully call her "Sister Chenchen" when they saw her. She had an indescribable carefree feeling.
Of course, at the same time, Fang Chenchen also felt a little guilty.
Her husband was an engineer in the Zhonglou District Environmental Protection Bureau. He was just a business editor. This honest man doted on her like she was a treasure. Moreover, the two of them had a cute daughter who was already four years old and had just started kindergarten.
In particular, Liu Haojun was very domineering. When he needed her, he would call Fang Chenchen over. Just like today, he did not give Fang Chenchen any reason to refuse.
Sometimes, when Fang Chenchen was at home, or even when she was with her child, Liu Haojun would call her and she would need to make up an excuse to go out.
Fang Chenchen's husband was an honest man. In addition, after Fang Chenchen became an anchor, her work was indeed a lot busier, so she never thought much about it.
However, Fang Chenchen still felt like she was walking on thin ice.
Just as she was driving, her husband, Liu Dong, called.
Fang Chenchen felt a little guilty, but she quickly pressed the button of the Bluetooth headset and answered the phone, "What's wrong? I'm busy!"
"Chenchen, my mother said that she was a little uncomfortable these two days. I want to go and see her after work." Liu Dong said, "Can you take some time to pick up Meng Meng?"
Fang Chenchen frowned and said, "I'm too busy with work here. I can't leave at all! You go and pick up Meng Meng before going to mom's place! "
"So it's like this! Okay then … "Liu Dong said.
"Don't forget to accompany her to finish her homework!" Fang Chenchen reminded, "Today, the teacher informed us in the group!"
"Don't worry!" Liu Dong said.
All kinds of homework in the kindergarten were done by Liu Dong. Fang Chenchen basically didn't have much free time.
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. I'm busy here!" Fang Chenchen said. Then, after thinking for a while, she said, "Oh right, tonight I might have to work overtime until very late. If it's too late, I'll directly sleep in the office. You guys don't have to wait for me …"
Liu Dong said somewhat dejectedly, "So it's like this! Okay then … Oh right, do you want me to prepare some supper for you? "
Fang Chenchen hurriedly said, "Don't worry about that! Just take good care of Meng Meng! If I'm hungry, I'll order takeout myself! Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm driving now. In a while, I have to record an outtake scene! "
"Oh oh! Okay, okay! Then drive carefully! "Liu Dong hurriedly hung up the phone.
Fang Chenchen lightly sighed. She threw her phone on the front passenger seat and drove the car directly into the entrance of West Lake Residence. Her car was already equipped with the owner's card. The lift lever at the entrance was automatically recognized.
