Official Career Storm

Chapter 1741: Chapter 1741

Sun Jiajun had a dark expression, Chairman Fang showed him no courtesy, let alone respect.

But he didn’t dare to say anything harsh to Chairman Fang, for he had taken their money.

If he pushed Chairman Fang too hard, and the matter of the money came to light, it would surely have an impact.

He calmed his mind, pondering whether he could play some role in this matter.

For example, persuading Chairman Fang and others to cooperate with the City Committee and Municipal Government.

Thinking it over, he found it too difficult.

He lacked the eloquence to persuade, and couldn’t come up with a plan that satisfied both sides.

"I should contact Mr. Lin first."

Sun Jiajun called Mr. Lin.

"What do you need from me?" Mr. Lin’s tone was gentle.

If Sun Jiajun feared anyone the most, it would certainly be Mr. Lin.

From an ordinary Vice Mayor in Xuzhou, he leaped to the Provincial City as Deputy Mayor, all due to Mr. Lin’s efforts.

Mr. Lin could elevate him, and could also leave him with nothing.

The feeling of having one’s future controlled was unpleasant, but Sun Jiajun currently had no way to counter it.

Though Mr. Lin seemed courteous to him, Sun Jiajun was well aware, his status was not equal to Mr. Lin’s.

In Mr. Lin’s eyes, he was just a tool.

Dismissing these messy thoughts, Sun Jiajun briefly explained the situation.

"Governor Yang has such an attitude..." Mr. Lin seemed slightly surprised, "Has the city really decided on closures and mergers?"

"That is the current intention, but the details still need to be discussed in a meeting."

"Who is the new candidate for the District Chief of the High-tech Zone?"

Mr. Lin changed the topic, and Sun Jiajun struggled to catch up with his thinking: "It’s still Chang Hai for now..."

"Chang Hai has been dismissed, they will certainly replace him, wasn’t this mentioned at the meeting?"

"No."

Mr. Lin was silent for a few seconds, seemingly in thought. Sun Jiajun dared not disturb him, quietly waiting for dozens of seconds before hearing him continue: "You should take over this matter."

"Huh?" Sun Jiajun didn’t understand why he should take on this trouble now.

Mr. Lin explained: "Stopping and merging doesn’t mean they cannot continue running companies, it’s just about closing or merging heavily polluting departments. The remaining quality departments should still continue operating. Reaching this point was indeed beyond my expectations, but it’s also a rare opportunity."

"You take over first, I’ll contact those bosses."

Sun Jiajun detected excitement in his voice.

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Jiajun pondered for a while, still unable to understand what Mr. Lin intended to do.

These enterprises surely had departments that continued to generate profit, but also had those that didn’t perform well.

Moreover, the pollution-related departments constituted a large portion of the entire enterprise.

Additionally, the enterprises were in debt...

After eliminating the debt and cutting some production lines, a company might not have much money left.

With limited understanding of business, even as he strained to think, he couldn’t derive useful information. Clearly, this was beyond his capability, but he forced himself to think, analyze, and consider.

His primary reason was to keep up with Mr. Lin’s pace, to show his value, so Mr. Lin would regard him more highly.

This wasn’t about preserving pride, it was purely about seeking progress.

Being a dog that follows orders is certainly easy, but once you become a dog, it’s hard to stand up as a person.

On the contrary, he wanted to be a person.

To be a leader capable of truly assuming the role of Deputy Mayor, making Mr. Lin take him seriously, to let Mr. Lin understand that he was indispensable.

Only then, could he and Mr. Lin achieve true mutual benefit, rather than the current one-sided subjugation.

Unfortunately, some things remain incomprehensible, even if you think hard about them.

After smoking two cigarettes, Sun Jiajun still couldn’t figure it out, so he sighed and went to find Wu Qiangwei once again.

Upon learning that he was to take full responsibility, Wu Qiangwei felt a tinge of apprehension.

When things are abnormal, there must be something suspicious.

Until today, Sun Jiajun’s attitude on this matter had always been the opposite of hers.

Now, not only was he cooperating, but he also proactively suggested handling it himself.

It’s hard to believe there’s nothing fishy here, and Wu Qiangwei didn’t consent.

"Let’s discuss it at the meeting," Wu Qiangwei said, sending him away, then she called for Song Guanchao.

As soon as Song Guanchao sat down, Wu Qiangwei said, "Mayor Sun just came to me, he wants to take on the closures and mergers."

"Oh?" Song Guanchao lifted an eyebrow: "This old fellow surely has no good intentions."

Their first reactions were quite consistent.

"I don’t know what he’s planning," Wu Qiangwei said.

"Soldiers will block, water will cover, if he wants to stir things up, let him,"

Song Guanchao looked at her with a smile, suddenly asking, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

The sudden change of topic surprised Wu Qiangwei, then she recalled the dinner he had planned at her place that night to celebrate.

Wu Qiangwei appeared a bit unnatural: "We’ll see tonight."

"Alright, we’ll talk about it tonight then."

Knowing she was thin-skinned, Song Guanchao refrained from teasing her, lest he upset her.

...

On Chairman Fang’s way back, he received a phone call.

Seeing the caller ID, he was surprised.

It was Lin He.

Lin He was also an entrepreneur from Jiangzhou and a member of the Jiangzhou Lin Family.

Many people have only seen the term "family dynasty" in TV dramas.

Yet, even in modern society, family dynasties still exist.

However, having assets of tens or hundreds of millions, marrying several concubines, and fathering a dozen children does not qualify as a family dynasty.

Truly, a family dynasty has not broken lineage for a hundred years, nearly monopolizes an industry, with family members holding official positions or doing business, connected with both the underworld and the legitimate society.

Only such can be called a family dynasty.

The Lin Family behind Lin He, has business spread across many provinces, and even complete operations abroad.

Over decades, they also nurtured family members in government, with the highest rank reaching Provincial.

Additionally, they maintained close ties with many ministerial officials, keeping excellent relationships.

However, the Lin Family remains low-key, with few knowing them in the public, and even the business world knows little.

Chairman Fang met Lin He at a gathering, and since their industries barely intersect, they exchanged contacts without further interaction.

Thus, receiving his call unexpectedly surprised Chairman Fang.

"There must be something related to my company,"

Chairman Fang speculated about Lin He’s purpose as he answered the call.

"It’s truly a surprise to receive your call, Chairman Lin," Chairman Fang laughed heartily.

Lin He asked, "Chairman Fang, are you available tonight for a meet-up?"

"When Chairman Lin invites, even if I had no time, I would make time."

"Chairman Fang is straightforward, see you tonight then."

They tacitly arranged a dinner meeting.

As soon as the call ended, Chairman Fang’s face turned more serious.

Lin He’s sudden involvement, he wasn’t sure if it was a blessing or a curse.
