Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 477 Tang Zhisheng's Desire for Progress! Zhao Lichun's Gratitude!

Jingzhou International Airport.

Beside the covered bridge, outside the cordon.

Two black Audis were idling in place with their engines running.

Sitting in the warm car, Tang Zhisheng quietly waited for the plane to land.

Logically speaking, as the third-in-command of Handong, he shouldn't need to come to pick them up at the airport.

But these days are different.

Zhao Lichun, the top leader, stepped forward with his head held high, and Liu Zhendong, the second-in-command, took over in turn.

As a provincial third-level student, I still don't have a clear plan for the next step.

He certainly hoped that he could succeed Liu Zhendong as the governor of Handong Province.

Because this step is absolutely crucial and extremely important.

I'm not young anymore.

If we cannot take this step, we will inevitably be relegated to the second line.

Once you make progress, you still have the possibility of rising further.

Moreover, he can go from deputy ministerial level to full ministerial level and officially become a true ministerial-level bigwig!

however……

This small step, however, felt like an insurmountable chasm.

Many people have tried their hardest and failed miserably to achieve this leap.

Ever since.

Tang Zhisheng then placed his hopes on Zhao Lichun.

He thought that Zhao Lichun, who was about to become the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Department, was the one who had entered the Secretariat.

He's already halfway into the decision-making level; if he wants to help himself, he definitely can.

Moreover, he was certain that Zhao Lichun had no reason not to help him improve.

When Zhong Zhengguo was about to leave office, Zhao Lichun and Liang Qunfeng competed for the position.

At a crucial moment, he chose to side with Zhao Lichun.

After Zhao Lichun took office, he did not follow Zhong Zhengguo's instructions to closely monitor and supervise Zhao Lichun.

Later, when he became the Deputy Secretary of the Handong Secretariat and concurrently the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Secretariat, he fully cooperated with Zhao Lichun.

It is precisely because of their cooperation that the transformation of grassroots work style, optimization of the business environment, deepening of institutional reforms, and improvement of the local legal system have been accomplished so smoothly.

Without these concrete and practical measures, Handong's high-quality economic development and military-civilian integration development strategy would not have been successful, and it would not have become the leading economic province.

Since Handong has achieved remarkable results in reform and development, allowing Zhao Lichun to make great strides and Liu Zhendong to take over, how could I, as a third-ranked provincial student, not want to share in the victory and go even further?

Therefore, as soon as Tang Zhisheng heard that Zhao Lichun had returned, he could no longer remain calm.

"Tang Shuji, the plane carrying Zhao Shuji is about to land!"

"it is good!"

Tang Zhisheng couldn't wait and immediately opened the door and got out of the car.

A gust of cold wind swept over him, instantly making him even more energetic.

Following his secretary's directions, Tang Zhisheng looked up at the sky.

A plane with flashing red and green navigation lights on its left and right sides and headlights on its underside was seen descending and approaching the airport.

A short while later, the plane landed and began to taxi.

The roar of the thrusters echoed through the airport like muffled thunder.

After slowing down and taxiing for a distance, the plane slowly drove off the runway.

It taxis towards the terminal via connecting taxiways and taxiways.

Tang Zhisheng's Adam's apple bobbed as he craned his neck in anticipation.

Although the plane's taxiing speed was not slow.

But in his eyes, it was as slow as a snail crawling!

I waited and waited for quite a while.

Following the guidance of the ground crew, the plane came to a smooth stop at the parking position.

After the boarding bridge connected to the cabin door, another minute or two passed before Liu Xinjian and Zhao Lichun came down one after the other.

Tang Zhisheng walked quickly with small steps and stepped forward.

Even when we were still two or three meters apart, I extended my right hand.

"Zhao Shuji, you must be tired from your journey!"

Zhao Lichun grasped Tang Zhisheng's hand.

"Why did you come to the airport to pick me up in this freezing weather?!"

"It's the weekend today, so I'm just lazing around at home anyway."

Tang Zhisheng is quite good at finding excuses for himself.

They're all old foxes, who doesn't understand?

The two smiled at each other, got into the car, and set off.

There was a driver and secretary in the front row, and the two of them tacitly only talked about work.

Tang Zhisheng, as the clerk of the political and legal affairs department, certainly needed to give a proper report.

Why, after two or three years of cracking down on social order and carrying out a vigorous campaign to ban guns, is there still a drug dealer named Guo Jianxiang in Jingzhou, the provincial capital?

If this case hadn't involved Huilong Group, Tang Zhisheng wouldn't have needed to report it. But since it involves Chairman Du Bozhong, he has no choice but to talk about it.

Moreover, although Du Bozhong was caught red-handed, Guo Jianxiang, who ran a disco, sold drugs, and even dared to shoot at the police during his escape, has yet to be found alive or dead.

So where did he get his guns and drugs?

Why wasn't he caught selling drugs at the Jingzhou Yuese Disco in time?

Is there still any gun and drug trafficking in Jingzhou City or even the entire Handong Province?

Although the case was not reported by the media and did not cause any serious social impact, tens of millions of people in Handong were unaware that this major case had occurred.

Many people believe that the recent increase in inspections of entertainment venues, train stations, hotels, and other places is because it is almost the end of the year and the authorities are trying to prevent crime and fire accidents.

However, as the legal clerk of Handong, Tang Zhisheng naturally had to report the case clearly.

After listening, Zhao Lichun said with a serious expression:

"Without sufficient evidence to prove that Guo Jianxiang has jumped into the river and died, I believe we cannot give up the investigation and pursuit of him."

"We will thoroughly investigate these heinous criminals involved in gun and drug offenses, which will also serve as a strong deterrent to other potential criminals!"

Tang Zhisheng nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, the task force will not be disbanded until the case is thoroughly investigated!"

Zhao Lichun continued, "In our general impression, criminals who manufacture and sell drugs usually produce and sell only one type of drug, but Guo Jianxiang was able to sell many kinds."

"What does this mean? It means that behind Guo Jianxiang, there must be a very large and hidden supply system, with multiple drug manufacturing gangs supplying him. Otherwise, where would he get so many kinds of drugs?"

Tang Zhisheng said, "During the investigation, someone reported that he often went to Dongguang. Once, while chatting with a disco employee, he said that he had a group of good brothers in Hong Kong and could kill whoever he wanted. He was very powerful."

"Therefore, the task force deduced that there must be a sizable drug manufacturing den somewhere in Dongguang. In addition, Guo Jianxiang should also have cooperation with a certain gang in Hong Kong. However, due to the cross-provincial and cross-border nature of the case, the investigation is progressing slowly at present."

Zhao Lichun said without hesitation, "In a few days, I will go to the Public Security Bureau to hand over my work. At that time, I will coordinate with various parties to assist the task force in solving the case as soon as possible!"

"that would be great!"

Tang Zhisheng couldn't stop smiling, and his eyes involuntarily revealed envy.

Because the high-ranking and powerful position of police chief is only the lowest position Zhao Lichun can hold next.

Therefore, as long as he intervenes, both East Guangdong and Hong Kong will definitely cooperate fully with the investigation.

Zhao Lichun turned back to look ahead with a deep gaze.

"The counter-terrorism and security situation in our Dragon Kingdom is still very serious!"

"There are both extremist terrorists who want to cause destruction and profit-driven criminals who take the risk!"

“Maintaining a high-pressure stance and strictly investigating, cracking down on, and punishing criminals is clearly not enough. We also need to improve the combat effectiveness of the political and legal teams in terms of reward and punishment mechanisms, personnel appointments and removals, and technological innovation.”

"In addition, we must not only intensify publicity and education efforts, but also closely unite, mobilize, and rely on the masses to jointly prevent and combat crime and create a stable and orderly social environment!"

Tang Zhisheng had already taken out his notebook and was taking notes seriously.

Not to mention that Zhao Lichun is still the top leader in Handong, whose rank is above Tang Zhisheng.

Zhao Lichun was also elected to the Secretariat and will soon officially serve as the Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director of the Public Security Bureau.

Therefore, every word Zhao Lichun says now will inevitably become a key focus of the political and legal work going forward.

How could Tang Zhisheng not take careful notes and meticulously understand the details?

Two black Audis sped along the road.

Before long, they arrived at the provincial party committee's family compound.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Tang Zhisheng opened the door and got out.

Then he walked around the rear of the car and stood smiling at the side rear.

The task of opening the door was naturally handled by Zhao Lichun's secretary, Liu Xinjian.

As Zhao Lichun bent down to get out of the car, he saw Tang Zhisheng with a smile on his face and took the initiative to invite him:

"It's too cold to play tennis. Let's have some tea instead!"

"By the way, wait for Lao Liu. His flight is an hour later than mine."

"Yeah!"

Tang Zhisheng had been eagerly waiting for this moment.

After inviting Tang Zhisheng to the tea room, Zhao Lichun went upstairs to change his clothes.

After the nanny made tea and water and left, Tang Zhisheng sat on the sofa, his heart pounding.

How should I bring up the subject?

"You can't say that you and Lao Liu have both made progress, but I've been relegated to the second line, can you?"

"It's not fair to say I've always stood by you, Zhao Lichun. You've made progress, so you should be grateful!"

After thinking it over and over, I still couldn't figure out how to bring it up.

Tang Zhisheng simply went to the restroom to avoid having to urinate at a crucial moment in their conversation.

When they returned, they found Zhao Lichun already sitting on the sofa.

"Come over and have some tea!"

"it is good!"

Tang Zhisheng sat down opposite Zhao Lichun.

While not exactly standing up straight and being extremely respectful, he did display a slightly humble demeanor.

Just then, Zhao Lichun suddenly picked up the teacup with both hands and said sincerely:

"Old Tang, I have to thank you!"

"Thank you for your understanding and support over the years!"

"I won't say much in terms of thanks. I'll offer you a toast with tea instead of wine!"

Tang Zhisheng was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Lichun stood up, holding the cup with both hands.

Startled, he quickly picked up his teacup as well, but the rim of the cup was halfway down.

"You're too kind, you're too kind. It's what I should do!"

Zhao Lichun smiled.

He lightly clinked glasses with Tang Zhisheng.

I took a sip of tea and then sat down.

Tang Zhisheng took a small sip and sat down, feeling quite pleased with himself.

At this moment, this cup of tea is worth a fortune!

Tang Zhisheng was initially worried that Zhao Lichun would be ungrateful and abandon him after using him...

But now it seems I was overthinking it.

Given Zhao Lichun's character, he's simply not that kind of person.

If he were a narrow-minded person, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today.

Tang Zhisheng took out a cigarette and quickly offered it to Tang Zhisheng.

After Zhao Lichun took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, he immediately took out a lighter and lit it for Tang Zhisheng.

Two big shots whose every stomp of their feet could make the entire Handong Province tremble.

At this moment, it's just like a casual weekend get-together for ordinary people.

Before they even started talking, they were already puffing on cigarettes.

"Didn't Ruilong also go to Yanjing? He's been gone for quite a few days, why didn't he come back with you?"

Tang Zhisheng didn't know how to start a conversation, so he simply talked about the children.
