216: Chapter 216 Another Change 216: Chapter 216 Another Change Xun Liqiang was drunk, and his driver supported him back to the hotel.
Ji Yang wasn’t tipsy and after returning to his hotel room, he took a shower and then opened his laptop to read the novel he had been writing.
It had to be said that Ji Yang’s writing ability was strong and his novel had also achieved great success.
However, Ji Yang no longer felt the passion to continue writing.
For Ji Yang, writing novels used to be a ans to earn money, but now he had plenty of money, more than he could spend, he felt that writing novels had beco sowhat redundant.
If Ji Yang used to update chapters quickly, his diligence had softened, and sotis he even skipped updates.
Seeing many ssages urging him to update, Ji Yang lit a cigarette and smoked.
After so thought, Ji Yang felt that he was writing just to not disappoint his loyal readers.
Since it wasn’t for money, he decided to write as ticulously as possible and craft a high-quality novel.
Recalling the earlier content, Ji Yang felt the need to revise many parts.
Without further ado, Ji Yang wrote today’s chapter and uploaded it before starting to revise the parts he found unsatisfactory.
While he was writing, his phone rang.
It was a call from his mother.
“Mom, what’s up?”
“Are you busy right now?”
“Not busy, I’m in the hotel.”
“What’s with the money?
We have our pensions, you mustn’t be reckless.”
“I’ve told you, the money was legitimately earned, the Discipline Inspection has even confird it.”
“That’s good, even though you’ve ntioned it, I’m still not reassured, and your father is worried, so I’m calling to check again.”
“Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
“I heard there’s a major reshuffle in the province, many officials are in trouble.
It might affect you.
You don’t know, even we’ve heard a lot about it in the city.”
“Don’t worry, I’m really fine.”
“Your father is worried about the money situation.”
“I’ve told you, it’s fine.”
Ji Yang was speechless.
He had given several million to his parents, and many days had passed, yet they were still calling to ask about this.
Just as he finished the call, his phone rang again.
It was a call from Zhou Chengqian.
This guy was genuinely good-hearted, intent on repaying Ji Yang for saving him.
“Chengqian, what’s up?”
“Yang, I heard sothing today, trouble has arisen again in the county you used to work in.”
“What?”
Ji Yang was surprised.
Zhou Chengqian continued, “I’m not exactly sure of the specifics, but the Qingyuan Village you worked in had many investors, right?
It eventually beca like a little gambling city.
Once the higher-ups caught wind of it, they dispatched a secret investigative team, and after many incidents, the problem was exposed, demanding a strict investigation.
Many people got into trouble.”
Ji Yang was shocked; he had long suspected that place was heading for trouble but hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.
The situation in Qingyuan Village was serious; a few prominent families had almost turned it into a haven for illegal activities, with no one daring to investigate.
Ji Yang had warned Chu Shuyuan about it, who had also inford the Chu Family, but it was unclear if the Chu Family would be implicated.
However, from Zhou Chengqian’s words, it was clear that the problem was significant, involving many people, even affecting prominent families in the Capital City.
“What do you an?”
“A task force has been sent from the province.
The local leaders will definitely be held accountable.
You should be fine, though.
You worked there but were not involved, and you transferred out quickly.”
Ji Yang said, “I was invited to look at the place at the ti, but I wasn’t really clear on the details.”
“Right, they investigated you and confird your non-involvent, so you’re clear.
The problem now is many leaders might be implicated, creating gaps in leadership, and you’re likely to be sent back there to work.”
“That can’t be, I’m doing well here.”
“That’s not up to you.
The affair has affected several families in the Capital City, it’s out of your hands; the whole place has been thrown into chaos.”
Ji Yang wasn’t quite aware of the severity and felt a sense of dismay hearing all this.
Zhou Chengqian added, “I got word that the situation there is extrely complicated.
So many leaders are implicated that it’s hard to find people who are familiar with the local conditions.
The upper echelons don’t trust the local officials, so they’re looking to send soone familiar, and you’re their first choice since you donated a hundred million, proving your reliability.”
“So it was your grandfather’s idea?”
“Not just him, quite a few leaders think they need to send soone familiar, fearing local promotions might involve internal personnel.
No one wants to be responsible, so they plan to send officials from outside, soone familiar like you.”
Ji Yang was speechless, realizing he might indeed have to return.
