Chapter 239 Using Another's Strength to Fight Back
Sha Ruijin was completely bewildered by what Old Master Ni said. He didn't understand how a perfectly good operation could be turned into a foolish move by Sha Ruijin in Old Master Ni's mouth.
On the other end of the phone, sensing Sha Ruijin's confusion, Old Master Ni could only explain further:
"Think about it, didn't the provincial party committee and government issue this document at your behest, Sha Ruijin? You're sending a message to the outside world: settle scores with the remaining forces of the Zhao family later! How will Zhao Lichun think? He finally got his son back and stopped targeting Handong, but now? You're slapping him in the face!"
Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin scoffed and said:
"Dad, you're overthinking it. You don't understand. Although Handong's economy is declining after this accounting incident, we can use this opportunity to attract new businesses! I believe the economic indicators will soon return to normal, and may even reach new highs! As for embarrassing Zhao Lichun..."
Sha Ruijin paused deliberately, then said smugly:
"His influence has been effectively withdrawn from Handong! From now on, Zhao Lichun will no longer have any way to remotely control Handong and cause us trouble..."
"Foolish, foolish! You don't understand what I mean at all. It's not that the purge shouldn't be done, but that it should be done secretly and methodically!" Old Master Ni became more and more agitated as he spoke.
"At our level, people are all about saving face. If you publicly humiliate him, won't he fight you to the death?"
Sha Ruijin still couldn't understand.
The fish died and the net was broken?
Zhao Lichun's influence in Handong has vanished.
What could he possibly use to fight to the death?
Old Master Ni is really...
As I get older, I become more and more afraid of trouble!
Old Master Ni, listening to Sha Ruijin on the other end of the phone who still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, angrily said:
"Zhao Lichun will definitely report us for our businesses in Handong! Don't forget, Liang Yuan is still in Handong, he hasn't left yet!"
Upon hearing this...
Sha Ruijin finally snapped out of his self-righteous state.
Then, I broke out in a cold sweat.
Yes.
Zhao Lichun's businesses are gone.
The Ni family's businesses still exist.
If Zhao Lichun were to report all of the Ni family's businesses...
The result would be that the roots that the Ni family had painstakingly established in Handong would also be eradicated!
Sha Ruijin finally dared not continue his arrogant behavior. He toned down his attitude and cautiously asked on the phone:
"Dad, what should we do...?"
Old Master Ni sighed and said coldly:
"I'll ask you one last time... Who came up with this plan to issue a document in the name of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, putting the clearing out of enterprises on the table, as if they wanted the whole world to know?"
Sha Ruijin lost his confidence. What he thought was a meritorious deed had now become a mistake, so he had no choice but to confess honestly:
"Yes, Xia Qing..."
Old Master Ni gasped, then murmured:
"Xia Qing, Xia Qing! I knew it was him! You idiot! He came to you with this plan, why couldn't you use your brain and think carefully about his intentions? He just wanted to provoke Zhao Lichun and make him destroy the Ni family's assets!"
Sha Ruijin panicked and told Grandpa Ni what had happened.
After listening, Mr. Ni's expression turned somber, and he seemed somewhat helpless.
After all, Sha Ruijin was trying to give the Ni family the initiative to bring in new businesses, which is why Xia Qing took the lead in the liquidation operation.
The starting point is always good.
It was just that his behavior was a bit foolish.
"You mean, he also showed you a list of assets to be liquidated, which listed the Ni family's businesses, and you circled them?"
"Old Master Ni asked."
Sha Ruijin said:
"Yes, could it be that because of this, Xia Qing has learned about the Ni family's business situation...?"
"No, Xia Qing has long since taken control of our family's businesses, and he is indeed here to test you." At this point, Old Master Ni's tone turned cold again, and he instructed:
"Let's hold back for now and see if Zhao Lichun makes any moves. If all else fails..."
Old Master Ni paused briefly, then said sternly:
"Then let Xia Qing bring in the Xia family's businesses! Once his businesses are established in Handong, we can make our own moves! We need to let him know that in Handong, if you drive others out, you won't be able to stay in peace either!"
Sha Ruijin nodded and said:
"Dad, I understand."
Old Master Ni sighed again and said:
"What a brilliant move... using someone else's strength against them."
Even after hanging up the phone, Sha Ruijin was still shaken.
too frightening.
That despicable Xia Qing.
Every step is meticulously designed, making it impossible to guard against!
……
Mr. Ni's prediction was entirely correct.
Three days later, several sets of materials containing reports about leading cadres involved in relevant enterprises in Handong were delivered to the investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on time.
The content is that these companies that were reported are businesses owned by the Ni family of Beijing in the Handong area.
Sha Ruijin, the Party Secretary of Handong Province, happens to be the son-in-law of the Ni family.
The ambiguous connection between them sparks endless imagination.
Liang Yuan took this matter very seriously and immediately organized an investigation.
At the same time, he realized what was happening.
Could it be that this is the good show Xia Qing made me stay behind to watch?
Will someone report the Ni family's businesses?
But how could Xia Qing be so certain that someone must have reported her and even asked her to stay?
Could it be related to the recent cleanup campaign promoted by the Handong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government?
According to the information we have, the five companies that were cleared out in Handong were left behind by the Zhao family.
So, because they were caught off guard by this purge, they hurriedly jumped out to report the Ni family.
That leaves only Zhao Lichun!
Liang Yuan was no ordinary person; he only took three minutes to figure out the relationship.
He sensed Xia Qing's scheming and planning abilities, which sent chills down his spine.
This was a well-planned scheme by Xia Qing, designed to make Zhao Lichun and Old Master Ni both suffer heavy losses!
in case.
Xia Qing had long planned to provoke Zhao Lichun with a large-scale purge, so that Zhao Lichun would report the Ni family's businesses.
I stayed behind so that the investigation team could intervene and conduct an investigation as soon as possible.
So, what Xia Qing wants is...
As Liang Yuan pondered, his brows relaxed more and more.
He immediately stood up, gave a few instructions to the deputy team leaders, and then anxiously went out and got into his car.
Headed straight to the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department.
When Liang Yuan arrived at Xia Qing's office, he went inside to take a look.
Xia Qing was already waiting for him, with two cups of hot tea on the table in front of her.
"Did Minister Xia know I was coming?"
Liang Yuan sat down and tested the water temperature.
It's hot.
It should be brewed within ten minutes.
So, does Xia Qing truly possess the ability to make accurate predictions, or has he planted spies everywhere to keep track of my movements?
That remains to be seen.
Regardless, in front of this Minister Xia...
Liang Yuan, in the end, felt genuine respect for him.
"Secretary Liang, what are your instructions?"
Xia Qing asked deliberately, wanting Liang Yuan to say it himself.
Liang Yuan smiled wryly and said:
"Minister Xia, I'm starting to feel a little afraid of you. Anyway, I've come to tell you something."
Liang Yuan took a sip of tea and continued:
"I can help you drive all the businesses of the Ni and Zhao families out of Handong."
