284: Chapter 275 Chapter 272: Running into the Gun Barrel 284: Chapter 275 Chapter 272: Running into the Gun Barrel Upon hearing this, everyone imdiately understood the implications of Jiang Zhonggen’s words and began to take their leave one by one.
In the blink of an eye, only Jiang Zhonggen, Yan Bu’er, and Secretary Zhao were left in the conference room.
Jiang Zhonggen sat down in the main seat, and Yan Bu’er sat next to him.
Jiang Zhonggen asked his wife to serve tea to the two, then smiled and asked, “I wonder what brings Mr.
Yan here today?”
“Hehe, I ca today to present a gift to Secretary Jiang!” Yan Bu’er hurriedly laughed.
“Stop…” Jiang Zhonggen quickly waved his hand and said, “This is a critical period.
After a while, I plan to collaborate with the Disciplinary Inspection Committee to strictly investigate this issue.
Giving a gift at this ti, isn’t that making a target?”
“How could that be?
It’s just so small items, of no real use.
It’s the thought that counts!” Yan Bu’er hurriedly waved to his assistant.
Assistant Zhao quickly nodded, then took sothing down from his back, opened the box, and inside was a scroll, containing Tang Yin’s “Hundred Birds Painting”!
Jiang Zhonggen was stunned.
Seeing that Assistant Zhao had opened the scroll, his eyes imdiately lit up, shit, this was an authentic Tang Yin painting!
He estimated the price to be in the millions.
Jiang Zhonggen instantly beca envious and quickly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then chuckled, “Mr.
Yan, you are being too polite!”
“Not at all!” Yan Bu’er hurriedly waved his hand, then winked at the assistant, and said, “Secretary Jiang, I present this painting to you, as a modest gift.
I hope you will accept it!”
“Haha…” Jiang Zhonggen looked around, then waved at his wife.
Mrs.
Jiang imdiately stepped forward, took the painting, and imdiately turned and left the room.
After chatting for a while, Yan Bu’er finally spoke about the purpose of his visit: “Secretary Jiang, I specifically ca to ask for a favor this ti!”
“What is it?” Jiang Zhonggen asked curiously.
“It’s about… the relocation of the City Governnt!”
Yan Bu’er sneakily glanced at Jiang Zhonggen, but seeing that he showed no strong emotion, continued, “I hope the City Governnt doesn’t move closer to the Northern City District but rather near the Eastern City District!”
Yan Bu’er’s words imdiately made Jiang Zhonggen raise his eyebrows.
Such a big change wasn’t sothing he could decide alone, of course.
Although, if he really insisted on doing it, it wasn’t impossible, considering that key positions in the official spheres were currently filled by his people.
The key question was, was it really worth changing these arrangents for Yan Bu’er?
Currently, Jiang Zhonggen had beco much more cautious after experiencing an investigation by the Disciplinary Inspection Committee.
He had started laying out plans for his future and wouldn’t deliberately involve himself unless absolutely necessary.
“Why do you want to do this?” Jiang Zhonggen feigned confusion as he looked at Yan Bu’er.
“Hehe, as you know, I’ve purchased a plot of land in the Eastern City District, and naturally, I hope that the Eastern City District can be developed!” Yan Bu’er casually watched Jiang Zhonggen.
Then finally smiled and said, “Besides, according to urban planning, it should be closer to the less-developed Eastern City District.
That way, it can boost the overall developnt of Jianghuai, right?”
Jiang Zhonggen looked at Yan Bu’er, realizing this man ca prepared.
He thought for a mont, originally planning to move towards the Northern City District, but if they suddenly changed course, whose interests would it actually harm?
As he thought this, a lightning bolt suddenly struck Jiang Zhonggen’s mind; the projects in the Northern City District were so important, how could he have forgotten?
If the City Governnt suddenly changed its strategy, Tianya Group might be dood, and that would inevitably involve Ye Chen, who had once helped him.
Moreover, his son had also been following Ye Chen recently.
Upon reflecting, Jiang Zhonggen made a decision.
“This… probably requires the City Construction Bureau to make a planning decision, then submit it to the City Governnt for approval!” Jiang Zhonggen didn’t reject Yan Bu’er’s suggestion outright but didn’t approve it either.
This made Yan Bu’er even more embarrassed but since Jiang Zhonggen had made such a verdict, Yan Bu’er couldn’t refute it.
Knowing that Jiang Zhonggen wouldn’t agree yet still pestering him was taboo in official circles.
Soon, Yan Bu’er imdiately took his leave.
Jiang Zhonggen escorted Yan Bu’er to the door.
After descending the stairs, Yan Bu’er’s expression was very somber, with Assistant Zhao hurriedly asking, “Mr.
Yan, have we just wasted a painting?”
“I didn’t expect that after Jiang Zhonggen enters the palace once, he could still be so rampant; it seems he really does have soone backing him!” Yan Bu’er gritted his teeth and bitterly said, “Soday, I’ll claim all of these back.
Let’s get in the car, we’re heading back!”
Following this, Yan Bu’er imdiately stepped into the car, Assistant Zhao hurriedly got into the driver’s seat, and the car swiftly left the City Governnt residential compound.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, it was the opening day of Black Water Security Company.
In the morning, Jianghuai City Secretary Jiang Zhonggen personally attended with his secretary, as did Li Ruo, the CEO of Tianya Group with her secretary, and the solo presence of Jianghuai Prison Warden Dian Ling.
Leaders from other important departnts in Jianghuai City also arrived in droves to celebrate the opening.
The scene was bustling, with all the security personnel dressed in uniform camouflage, holding identical plastic sticks to maintain order.
Red carpets and red balloons pulled two banners across the walls of the security company, adorned with congratulatory banners from various business leaders and heads of governnt agencies.
Leaders, who usually weren’t seen, gathered together.
“Ye Chen, congratulations, finally beca a boss?” Jiang Zhonggen, dressed in a neat suit, shook hands with Ye Chen, smiling from ear to ear.
“Ah, what boss?
It’s all for the sake of these brothers who have nothing to eat, so I have to provide for them!” Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and said, “The security business hasn’t been doing well recently, I hope Secretary Jiang can be a bit more lenient with our Black Water Security Company!”
“Don’t worry, I will try to get so business for you,” Jiang Zhonggen said with a light smile.
However, Ye Chen didn’t take his words seriously, as nine out of ten things officials say are crap, and if you take it seriously, then you have lost.
The atmosphere at the venue was explosive, filled with festive lights and decorations like during the New Year.
The young n from the Heavenly Reversal Gang all wore security uniforms with their nas, the gang’s internal number, and rank epaulettes on their chests, with the Black Water Security Company logo—two axes and a heart in the middle embroidered on the right pocket.
Ye Chen personally designed this logo, and its aning was unclear to others.
The presence of the security guards could rival a military parade, everyone neatly lined up on both sides of the red carpet.
After a period of intense training, everyone looked spirited, and their postures had greatly improved.
At first glance, they really seed to have a bit of a soldier’s deanor.
However, when this group walked together, slapping each other’s backs, their true nature was exposed.
Ye Chen believed that after so ti, they would definitely beco an outstanding security team.
“Don’t forget your promise after setting up the company!” Li Ruo approached.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Ruo!” Ye Chen nodded and said, “Since I promised to continue with the project in the Northern City District, I will definitely see it through to the end.”
In fact, Ye Chen wasn’t the one handling the main affairs; he was just a project director controlling the overall developnt direction of the project.
There were six construction companies firing on all cylinders on-site, and the business tracking was managed by Business Group One and other business departnts of Tianya Group.
Ye Chen was completely a hands-off manager; the only tis he was needed were when the project encountered anomalies or any problems with the capital chain.
Hence, Ye Chen also carried a trendous pressure on behalf of Li Ruo.
After all, this project was crucial to the fate of Tianya Group.
“That’s great!” Li Ruo’s face burst into a radiant smile that made the flowers at the venue pale in comparison.
“Brother Chen!” Feng Zhixiao shouted from the stage, and Ye Chen turned to see her, as the ceremonial attendant brought over a tray of fiery red balloons and then shouted, “Everything’s ready, it’s ti to start the ribbon cutting!”
“Alright!” Ye Chen nodded.
Then, those invited by Ye Chen stepped onto the red carpet.
Feng Zhixiao, with a cigarette in his mouth, lit a string of loud firecrackers that crackled and popped.
Amidst the enthusiastic applause, everyone with golden scissors in hand cut through the red silk.
Following that, Ye Chen suddenly walked down the stage, cheerfully addressing everyone, “Thank you all for attending the ribbon cutting of Black Water Security Company.”
With that, he dashed and leapt into the air; as people gasped in astonishnt, Ye Chen, with his right hand, pulled down the red silk hanging from the huge plaque overhead.
His leap was easily over three ters high.
People truly recognized what it ant to be formidable—though Ye Chen pushed off the wall with his foot a bit, the difficulty was imaginable.
“Wow, truly a young hero!”
“No wonder he can run a security company.
They say there’s not much difference between a security company and the underworld; the Heavenly Reversal Gang is really going to defy the heavens!”
Onlookers eagerly discussed, and now the Heavenly Reversal Gang had beco quite extraordinary.
With the added support of the city governnt and so departnts, its future developnt would only be more swift.
Black Water Security Company was definitely a security company with an underworld background in Jianghuai City.
Other security companies were either officially run or affiliated with corporate groups or property managent companies.
Thus, the Heavenly Reversal Gang imdiately caught the attention of so other gangs in Jianghuai City.
With the opening of Black Water Security Company, various gangs ca to congratulate and brought many gifts, especially those whose territories were in the Northern City District, such as Chopper Gang, Jingwu Hall, and other notable gangs in Jianghuai City.
On the surface, it was a celebration, but in actuality, it was a way for these gangs to send a friendly ssage to the Heavenly Reversal Gang.
