Chapter 337 - Win-Win!
Chapter 337 of "Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I'll Take Them Down!" commences with: Jiang Fengnian began.“The Tianhu Commerce Alliance is an established business organization in the provincial city,... Don’t miss the next part!
Jiang Fengnian began.
“The Tianhu Commerce Alliance is an established business organization in the provincial city, where they’ve been entrenched for several decades now, possessing quite extraordinary strength.”
“However, according to the information held by the Martial Cabinet, this Tianhu Commerce Alliance doesn’t seem to have any state government background.
They shouldn’t have the power to mobilize key personnel within the state government, let alone dare to harm state officials.”
Zhou Yu looked puzzled.
“What does a commerce alliance do?”
“It’s essentially a business organization, formed by an association of many enterprises, something like banding together for warmth.
Their influence is generally limited to the commercial sphere,”
Jiang Fengnian explained.
“However, if it really was their doing, then this Tianhu Commerce Alliance must not be as simple as it appears on the surface.”
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.
“Deputy Director Jiang, could you please look into this Tianhu Commerce Alliance?”
“No problem, I’ll have someone check it right away and inform you as soon as there’s any news,” Jiang Fengnian promised.
Zhou Yu nodded.
Following that, he asked:
“Mr.
Zhao, is there any way to get back the project for Metro Line 10?”
This project was one that the Lin Family had been eagerly anticipating, especially Lin Luoluo, who had been working overtime day and night for the past six months, just to ensure that this project could start smoothly.
Zhou Yu didn’t want to let them down.
Zhao Jianfeng gave a wry smile:
“I’m already retired, and Heng has been transferred from his post at the Urban Renewal Committee.
I’m afraid there’s no hope.”
Zhou Yu suddenly asked, “Mr.
Zhao, Qi Guochang should be able to solve this, right?”
“Qi…”
Zhao Jianfeng looked shocked.
“Are you talking about Governor Qi Guochang?”
Zhou Yu nodded.
“You know the governor?”
“Yes, I helped him out once.”
At this, both Zhao Jianfeng and Jiang Fengnian were stunned.
Qi Guochang was the highest-ranking official in the territory of Qinzhou, and even a minister of the Martial Cabinet officially had to heed the governor’s commands.
Not to mention the Zhao Family.
Even at the height of Zhao Jianfeng’s career, there was at least a three-grade difference between him and the governor.
“If the governor speaks, then of course there should be no problem, but…”
Zhao Jianfeng hesitated.
“But what?” Zhou Yu asked, puzzled.
“But for such a trivial matter, would the governor agree to intervene?”
Zhou Yu was unconcerned.
He directly dialed Qi Guochang’s phone number and explained the matter.
Qi Guochang’s face turned stern.
“I’ll immediately reinstate Zhao Heng to his former position.
My state government’s personnel movements should not be tampered with by commercial forces.”
“As for the project, rest assured, I’ll have my secretary handle it.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu received a changed look from Zhao Jianfeng and Jiang Fengnian.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu really could contact Qi Guochang, and moreover, Qi Guochang was so easily persuaded.
Clearly, their relationship was closer than they had imagined.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Maozong, who was having tea beside him, asked with a laugh,
“What’s up?
Old Qi, did Zhou Yu ask you for a favor?”
Qi Guochang nodded gloomily.
“Yes.”
“Why the long face?
Is the matter too big to handle?”
“I wish it were a big issue.
The problem is that it’s such a trivial matter; it makes me feel rather displeased.”
Yan Maozong laughed heartily.
“Old Qi, all the years I’ve known you, you’ve always been like that, unable to hide your benevolence.”
“Don’t worry, that kid Zhou Yu has lots of troubles behind him.
In the future, you’ll have plenty of headaches.”
Qi Guochang revealed an inscrutable expression.
“Why fear a headache?
If they truly give me headaches, it means those lurking in the shadows are emerging—which would be a good thing, wouldn’t it?”
“What I fear is that they won’t emerge and keep tripping us from the dark.
If this continues, before long, I might end up like Guoqiang Bao of Wucheng.”
“This must not be allowed to happen.”
Yan Maozong was taken aback.
“Are you planning to use Zhou Yu as bait?”
“That’s not how I’d put it.
By helping Zhou Yu out of trouble, I can also clear out the forces hidden in the dark.
It’s a win-win!”
Yan Maozong gave a thumbs up.
“You old fox!
You’ve always been deeply calculative.”
“If I didn’t think ahead, would I be standing here talking to you now?
I’d probably have met King Yan already.”
As they were joking, the secretary knocked on the door and came in with a telephone.
“Governor, someone from the Tianhu Commerce Alliance is looking for you, about the Metro Line 10 project.”
“Hmm?”
Qi Guochang took the phone.
“This is Qi Guochang.”
“Hello Governor Qi, I am the person in charge of the Tianhu Commerce Alliance, Bei Yong.”
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s like this, our Tianhu Commerce Alliance has also been diligent for many years in the provincial city, contributing a lot to the development of the city.
We’ve had no issues with tax contributions and have even created job opportunities for more than a hundred thousand…”
“Enough, I’m aware of your alliance’s contributions.
Just get to the point,” said Qi Guochang calmly.
Bei Yong quickly said:
“Governor Qi, then I’ll get straight to the point.
We at the Tianhu Commerce Alliance are interested in undertaking the Metro Line 10 project, and we ask that you do us the favor.”
“Rest assured, all the appropriate courtesies have been prepared.
They’ve already been delivered to the underground parking lot, and you can let your secretary check them out now.
I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”
