The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 476, so problematic!

So Lin Shanwen smiled and took the initiative to say: "Li Chu, I won't beat around the bush with you. In fact, today I was entrusted by the Yao Department of the Armed Forces to come here to be a lobbyist, haha."

Then, Lin Shanwen simply explained his purpose of coming, which meant that Yao Chongjun felt that there might be some misunderstanding about Yao Chenglin, so Yao Chongjun asked him to be the intermediary, hoping to ease the relationship between them.

The implication is that he hopes that Li Weiguo can raise a hand in Yao Chenglin's corruption matter and let Yao Chenglin go, and Yao Chongjun will not be stingy and will definitely give him a satisfactory expression.

Of course, if he has any requirements, he can ask for them. As long as they can be met, Yao Chongjun will find a way to satisfy them and speak with full sincerity.

After listening to Lin Shanwen's explanation, Li Weiguo couldn't help but sigh at Yao Chongjun's sophistication, and specially found Lin Shanwen, who was at the same level as him, to be his lobbyist.

If Li Weiguo had given face and agreed to his request, his goal would have been achieved, and Yao Chenglin could escape and ascend to heaven.

If you don't agree, you won't have to talk about the benefits, and you will also lose the face of Lin Shanwen, the middleman.

This seems to be a sincere and low-profile approach to ask Lin Shanwen to make peace, but in fact, it is also a disguised use of Lin Shanwen's face to force him into the palace.

If it had been someone else, maybe because of Lin Shanwen's face, he would have been exposed lightly.

After all, killing an insignificant Yao Chenglin and offending two powerful cadres at the deputy director level at the same time were not worth the gain.

Looking at Lin Shanwen, who was waiting for him to express his stance, Li Weiguo did not speak in a hurry, but smiled, put down the big teacup that Lin Shanwen had just handed him, and then picked up the teapot and took a sip.

Lin Shanwen's heart suddenly sank when he saw his action. He knew that Li Weiguo clearly refused.

But before he could continue to speak, he saw Li Weiguo take out a pack of special supplies for China from his pocket, pop out two, and give one to him.

"Come on, Lin Bu, have a cigarette."

Lin Shanwen glanced down at the Chinese cigarette handed to him, his face stiffened, he weighed it in his mind, and finally suppressed his dissatisfaction and reached out to take it.

Seeing that he was interested, Li Weiguo smiled slightly, struck a match and helped him light it, and then said softly: "Bu Lin, you have been in troubled waters regarding Yao Chenglin."

"Oh? What do you mean, Li Chu?"

Lin Shanwen's eyes flickered, puzzled.

Seeing him like this, Li Weiguo knew that Yao Chongjun must not have explained to him what the situation of Yao Chenglin's case was, so he lit up the cigarette, took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Bu Lin, you don't know something. If If you say Yao Chenglin is just a petty embezzler, I will definitely give you your face, it’s not a big deal.”

"But Yao Chenglin is involved in much more than that. Since he joined the Procurement Department for two years, he has been taking advantage of his position to engage in speculative activities. The amount involved every month is as high as three to four thousand. In the past two years, it has been seven to eighty thousand. So A big case, to put it bluntly, cannot be easily handled at our level."

"Furthermore, Secretary Li, who is in charge of logistics, personally ordered a strict investigation into this case, so you are really involved at this time."

Li Weiguo shook his head and stopped. His words were [-]% true and [-]% false. He was playing with information asymmetry.

Although he didn't care about offending Lin Shanwen, he didn't want to be led by Yao Chongjun for nothing, so he gave Yao Chongjun some eye drops.

Moreover, it was impossible for Lin Shanwen to actually go to Li Huaide to verify. Even if he asked, Li Huaide would cover him up.

Sure enough, when he heard that the case was ordered to be investigated by Li Huaide, the third-in-command in the factory, Lin Shanwen's face changed. His right hand holding the cigarette trembled, and the ashes fell on his shoes without paying attention.

He pursed his lips and asked quickly, "Li Chu, are you telling the truth?"

Li Weiguo vowed: "Of course, I don't need to lie to you. If you don't believe it, Lin, I will take you to the fourth floor to ask Secretary Li now. Do you think it's okay?"

After receiving Li Weiguo's accurate reply, Lin Shanwen was speechless. The dissatisfaction that had just arisen due to Li Weiguo's rejection disappeared instantly.

Although it was impossible for him to actually go to Deputy Secretary Li to confirm, he already believed Li Weiguo's words eighty-nine percent.

Because in his opinion, Li Weiguo and Yao Chongjun were both cadres of the same level. If the matter was not so serious that they could not be favoritistic, Li Weiguo would not have given any face to him and insisted on killing Yao Chongjun's son. This was not in line with the sophistication of the system.

After all, corruption occurs every year, not least Yao Chenglin.When he thought that he was almost tricked into getting involved in the case that Deputy Secretary Li ordered a strict investigation, Lin Shanwen couldn't help but curse Yao Chongjun in his heart.

He said something didn't feel right. Yao Chenglin had committed a crime and was caught. Yao Chongjun, the father himself, did not come to Li Weiguo to plead for mercy. Instead, he approached him as a middleman as a lobbyist. There was a bigger thunder in the relationship.

Lin Shanwen, who didn't know the truth, was fooled by Li Weiguo's truth and falsehoods, and instantly made up a lot of things in his mind.

After figuring out the joints in his mind, Lin Shanwen no longer forced it. He smiled awkwardly and said with an apologetic smile: "Chu Li, I'm sorry, this time I did something without knowing the truth and caused trouble for you. .”

Li Weiguo waved his hand and smiled and said nonchalantly: "Hey, it's nothing serious. Don't take it to heart, Bu Lin. Just treat it as just coming to drink tea and chat with me. I really hope you can come and get close to me more often when you have time." ,hehe"

With the steps handed over by Li Weiguo, Lin Shanwen's face suddenly looked much better. He didn't dwell on what had just happened, grinned, and walked down the slope.

"Yes, yes, you must get closer to me when you have time. Li Chu, you must come to our propaganda department often when you have time, hehe."

After a few polite words, Lin Shanwen didn't have the nerve to stay any longer and quickly found an excuse to leave.

After coming out of Li Weiguo's office, Lin Shanwen's face instantly darkened.

He never expected that after so many years of struggling in the system, he would actually be used as a weapon. It was really unreasonable!
Standing at the door of Li Weiguo's office, Lin Shanwen took two deep breaths. After adjusting his emotions, he quickly calmed down the anger on his face, then turned and walked towards Yao Chongjun's office next door. Although there was no expression on his face at this time, No expression, but his eyes were full of coldness.

When he reached the door of Yao Chongjun's office, Lin Shanwen didn't knock on the door and pushed the door straight in.

At this time, Yao Chongjun was also waiting for news about him in the office. Seeing that he was back, he couldn't wait to get up to greet him.

"Hey, Bu Lin, you're back. What do you mean? Is there any agreement from Li Weiguo?"

Seeing Yao Chongjun's earnest expression, Lin Shanwen was extremely bored for a moment. He did not rush to reply, but took out two special tickets from his jacket pocket and pushed them back to Yao Chongjun with an indifferent expression.

These two tickets are Phoenix [-]'s special bicycle tickets and Shanghai brand watch tickets. They were Yao Chongjun's previous thank you gifts to him as the middleman. Now that the matter has not been completed, it can be regarded as returning to the original owner and no one owes anything to anyone. .

Yao Chongjun glanced down at the two tickets on the table, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

"Uh, Lin Bu, what's wrong with you?"

It's okay if Yao Chongjun doesn't mention it, but he gets angry when he mentions Lin Shanwen.

problem?

There's something wrong with Taima!
You idiot dares to dig a hole for me, just wait for me!

Lin Shanwen spat secretly, wishing to tear him alive right away.

However, Yao Chongjun was a powerful cadre at the same level as him. On the surface, he didn't want to fall out with Yao Chongjun because of this matter, so he forced a sly smile and said perfunctorily: "Yao, there is nothing wrong." , but Li Chu said that the amount involved in your son's speculation is too large, and I am a mere deputy director-level cadre whose face is not good, so you should hire someone else."

After saying that, Lin Shanwen ignored Yao Chongjun's plea to stay, and left with a few perfunctory words. As he left, he secretly thought about how he might pay back today's debt to Yao Chongjun later.

It's unknown what Lin Shanwen was thinking about Yao Chongjun before he left, but as soon as he left, Yao Chongjun's face instantly darkened.

He went to great lengths to ask Lin Shanwen to be a lobbyist for him today, hoping to use Lin Shanwen's face to force the palace to make Li Weiguo stand up.

Now that he is in such trouble with Li Weiguo, if he goes alone, Li Weiguo will probably not give him face, but it is not necessarily the case if he changes to a cadre with the same level of power. If Li Weiguo doesn't want to offend others for no reason, he will have to give someone else's propaganda department some money. Vice Minister Lin Shanwen has no face.

But he never expected that Li Weiguo would be so stubborn and would not give Lin Shanwen face. He also specifically pointed out the problem of his son's excessive speculation.

Now there is trouble. It seems that Li Weiguo has found out something and is determined to torture his son to death.

When he thought of this, Yao Chongjun couldn't sit still at all. After gritting his teeth and pacing back and forth in the office for a few times, as if he had made up his mind, he glanced at the two special tickets on the table, snorted coldly, and grabbed them. He kneaded it directly into a ball in his hand, and his eyes were filled with a cold light.
