No matter how strong those leaders were, they couldn't win against Tan Yang. Besides, why would they offend the branch boss for a friend they didn't have much contact with? Hence, they gave up and stopped caring about this matter.
Fang Cheng's father was not satisfied, so he went to look for the deputy secretary of the Northern District Party Committee. The two of them used to work together and had a good relationship. However, after Fang Cheng's father retired, they didn't contact each other anymore. Fang Cheng's father knew that the relationship would change once the person left, but for the sake of a huge sum of money, he didn't care about his reputation anymore and shamelessly asked for help.
Although the deputy secretary didn't want to deal with him, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Hence, he reluctantly agreed and took some time to talk to Tan Yang about it. Tan Yang and he were both deputy heads of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee. Tan Yang was also in the public security system, so he wasn't afraid of him. However, as a member of the team, he didn't want to make things difficult for him. Hence, he told him the details of Fang Cheng's death in detail. He also emphasized that the Luo family was the godfather of Li Rui, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's General Office.
When the deputy secretary heard this, he immediately said that he wouldn't interfere in this matter anymore. He even asked Tan Yang to handle this matter impartially and not be affected by the Fang family's interference.
This was what happened this morning. Tanyang felt that it was necessary to let Li Rui know about it, so he called him after work in the evening to tell him about it. In the end, he said with a smile, "This should be the most important relationship that the Fang family can rely on. Now that even the deputy secretary can't do it, the Fang family can only accept their fate. In other words, this case is considered over. Brother, you don't have to worry about it anymore. "
Li Rui said, "The Fang family is really shameless. Fang Cheng obviously brought about his own death and my sister was the victim. The old couple actually wanted to take the opportunity to extort a huge sum of money from my sister's family. I really admire them. Thank you for your help, brother. Otherwise, this matter wouldn't have been solved so easily. When I'm not busy, I'll ask my sister to treat you to a meal. "
Tan Yang laughed and said, "Brother, aren't you treating me like an outsider? Are you one of us? By the way, there's something else I need to tell you. I've already asked the traffic police to investigate Zhang Zujie, who caused Ding Zhiguo to retire early. That kid did a lot of bad things when he was the Captain of the Second Brigade's Fourth Company. Once the investigation is done and the evidence is conclusive, he will be sentenced to a few years in prison to break the law and commit crimes. "
Li Rui clicked his tongue and praised, "Aiya, brother, no matter what, I have to treat you to a drink. Let's not talk about anything else, just for this, I have to toast you a few big glasses. I have to go to the province tomorrow. When I come back, I'll treat you to a meal. Wait for my call. "
Tanyang smiled and said, "Well said, well said, we haven't gotten together in a while …"
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui was in an incomparably good mood, especially when he thought of Ding Yijing. He thought to himself that Zhang Zhong and Zhang Zujie had conspired together to deal with her father. Now that both uncle and nephew were in prison, and the Ding Family's vengeance had been avenged, she would definitely be happier than him if he told her this news. He had received her affectionate devotion and had done this little thing for her. It could be considered a small repayment, but how could he repay the kindness of a beauty?
After arriving at Shengjing Hotel, Li Rui went straight to the private room reserved by Han Zhijie. When he went in, there were only two people inside. It was Han Shui and Han Zhijie, father and son. Han Shui's wife was not there, and Han Shui's most capable subordinate, Li Bing, was also not there. From this, it seemed that Han Shui was very cautious about his first meeting with Song Chaoyang.
"Mr. Han, Mr. Han, you're early, haha!"
Li Rui smiled and walked towards the two, his right hand already extended.
Han Shui smiled and shook hands with him. Han Zhijie looked at the door behind him and frowned. "Director Li, Song Shuji didn't come?"
Li Rui said to him, "Song Shuji is a little busy now. He's still working overtime, so he'll be here in a while."
Han Zhijie said unhappily, "But didn't we already make an appointment at this time?"
Li Ruixin sneered and said calmly, "We did make an appointment, but I've already told you that Song Shuji is busy with work and may not be able to come on time. We can only make arrangements based on the time. In fact, even if he doesn't come tonight, we won't be angry. "
Han Zhijie shouted, "But …"
Han Shui waved his hand and said, "Don't say anymore. Song Shuji agreed to come, which is already giving us a lot of face. What's the big deal if he comes later? Director Li, please take a seat and have some tea. "
Li Rui looked at the father and son's performance and thought to himself, Han Shui is indeed a formidable person. He knows when to yield and when to stand tall. Han Zhijie can't be compared to him. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Director Han. Please take a seat too."
The three of them sat down, leaving the head of the table empty for Song Chaoyang. Han Shui sat on the right side of the head of the table and invited Li Rui to sit on the left side of the head of the table. It was a show of respect to the master and servant. As for Han Zhijie, he sat on the head of Han Shui.
The waiter in the private room poured tea for the three of them and stood outside waiting for orders.
Li Rui said, "Director Han, Song Shuji told me to accompany you two to eat and drink. Why don't we serve the dishes now?"
Han Shui frowned and said, "Oh? Song Shuji hasn't arrived yet. Isn't it inappropriate for us to start now? "
Li Rui smiled and said, "It's okay. Song Shuji will be here soon. It won't take too long. Let's serve the dishes first so that he doesn't have to wait until he arrives."
Han Shui nodded. Han Zhijie didn't wait for his orders and asked the waiter to serve the dishes.
Soon, the dishes were served one by one and piled up in a circle. The wine was imported and the dishes were all delicacies. Even Li Rui, who had tasted all kinds of delicacies, couldn't recognize the brands of the wine and the names of the dishes. It seemed that the father and son of the Han family had prepared meticulously for this banquet.
The waiter came and poured wine for the three of them and the banquet began.
The three of them ate a few mouthfuls of food, clinked glasses, and took a sip of wine. Han Shui couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Li Rui, "Did Secretary Song say what he's going to talk to me about tonight?"
Li Rui pretended to be surprised and said, "Why would Song Shuji tell me this?"
Han Shui smiled and said, "That's right. Haha. Come, Director Li, let's eat. I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet Song Shuji."
The three of them ate and drank, chatted and laughed. The atmosphere was very intimate. If someone who didn't know saw them, they would think that the three of them were good friends. Who would know that they were mortal enemies?
When it was 7: 15 pm, Song Chaoyang finally arrived. The three of them in the private room went up to greet him.
Li Rui introduced both sides. Song Chaoyang shook hands with Han Shui and his son.
Li Rui observed that Han Shui, the richest man in the city and the number one mafia boss, was cautious and fearful in front of Song Chaoyang. He was submissive like a small clerk. As for Han Zhijie, he wasn't much better. That kind of reverence and nervousness was as if he was facing God. It made people think that he would kneel down and worship Song Chaoyang at any time.
After greeting each other, Song Chaoyang was invited to the head of the table by Han Zhijie and his son. The four of them sat down and the banquet officially began.
"I didn't expect Mr. Han to be able to establish such a great enterprise at such a young age. It's really admirable. What's more, Mr. Han cares about his hometown and pays back kindness. He has invested a lot of money to support the development of the city in his hometown. This kind of selfless dedication is worth learning from all the leaders in Qingyang. Come, Mr. Han, on behalf of all the leaders in Qingyang and the six million people, I'd like to propose a toast to you. Thank you for everything you've done for your hometown! "
Just as he took a bite of the food, Song Chaoyang took the initiative to raise his glass before Han Shui could offer a toast.
Han Shui was so flattered that his face turned red. He was so excited that his lips were trembling. He was so stunned that he couldn't say a word. After a while, he stood up in a flurry and picked up the wine glass again. He stuttered, "Song Shuji, how could … how could you propose a toast to me? I … I should be the one toasting to you. Please don't do this. It's … it's a slap in my face … "
Han Zhijie felt that this was not nice to hear, so he reminded his father, "It's a slap in the face!"
Han Shui nodded repeatedly and said, "Oh, yes, yes, it's a slap in the face. It's a slap in the face … Song Shuji, please don't take it to heart. I'm an uncouth man and I don't know how to be polite. All I say is vulgar, so please don't blame me if it's not nice to hear. I … I thank you for your kindness. I'll drink, please. "After he finished speaking, he raised his head and downed the wine in his glass.
The wine in his glass was imported, but he drank it in the same way as white wine. Li Rui saw this and secretly laughed at him for being uncouth. However, many people in the country drank this way. Regardless of whether it was red wine, white wine, foreign wine, or beer, when it was time to toast, they would drink it in one gulp without considering the way they drank it.
Song Chaoyang smiled and raised his glass to take a small sip. He then put the glass down and reached out with his chopsticks to pick up some food.
After Han Shui drank this glass, he was completely moved by Song Chaoyang's "sincerity". Following that, he was extremely attentive and flattering to Song Chaoyang and served him well wholeheartedly. He did not even bother to test him and see what kind of compensation the city would give him.
In ancient times, Song Chaoyang said that "a glass of wine dispels military power". Today, Song Chaoyang used a little trick. He also made an issue with wine. He only used a glass of wine to make Han Shui, a big shot in the underworld, submit to him obediently and obediently. When Li Rui saw this, his heart was filled with admiration, but at the same time, he was also relieved. He knew that Han Shui and his son wouldn't cause any trouble for him in the near future. He would take this opportunity to set up an inescapable net when Han Shui was unprepared, making it impossible for him to escape.
