Seeing Chen Mingyuan's expression of disbelief, Xiao Sun whispered again: "There are rumors outside that he got tired of playing with women in his early years, and then developed this hobby. I didn't believe it at first, but I think he is right

Manager He has always behaved himself and seems not very interested in beautiful women, and then he looked at you like that just now..."

Xiao Sun spoke softer and quieter, his face turned red, and he was too embarrassed to look at the other person.

Chen Mingyuan suddenly felt nauseous, especially when he thought of the way Yao Guangle looked at him just now. At first, he thought he was malicious towards him, but he didn't expect...

He shook his head, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and said: "What kind of business relationship does He Li have with him?"

"Yes, yes..."

Xiao Sun hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head and said: "Mr. Chen, please don't embarrass me. Manager He won't let me talk... and she realized that Mr. Yao's affairs were too dark and she no longer wanted to have anything to do with him, so

I just wanted to leave in a hurry."

Chen Mingyuan didn't ask any more questions. He Li must have wanted to use this inside story as a final talisman.

"On the edge of the Qinhuai River..."

Xiao Sun suddenly said something without beginning or end, "Where is his business..."

After saying that, she seemed to be afraid of being discovered, so she sent people to the door and turned around to leave without even bothering to say goodbye.

Looking at her back, Chen Mingyuan vaguely guessed a clue, but he didn't want to think too much when a greeting suddenly came from behind.

"Hello."

A young man in a suit and leather shoes came quickly and raised his hand to signal to the car on the roadside: "Mayor Chen is already in the car, please follow me."

Chen Mingyuan took advantage of the situation and looked around. The car window was pulled down, revealing the face of his third uncle Chen Guoliang.

Jinling Hotel is located in the city center and has a history of more than 60 years. It was designed by the famous architect Mr. Yang Tingbao. It was called the "International Party Club" at the time and was later named "Jinling Hotel" by Mr. Guo Moruo.

The hotel is located in a busy city, with convenient transportation, elegant environment, lush flowers and trees, and green grass. It is known as a "garden hotel".

With such an extraordinary history and reputation, it is naturally the preferred banquet venue for many wealthy businessmen in Jinling.

In the VIP room of the hotel, when the waiter brought dishes of exquisite and delicious dishes to the table, Chen Guoliang said with a smile: "I still remember when I went to Qiantang, you treated me to local specialties. Today in Jinling,

Let me do the work."

"Although Jinling and Qiantang are only separated by the Yangtze River, their food flavors are not very similar. They mainly serve Huaiyang cuisine, which pays attention to fine knife skills, such as salted duck, soft pocket long fish, and braised lion's head.

Let’s try our signature dishes first.”

Chen Mingyuan didn't move his chopsticks and said: "Third uncle, do you know that since the last meal, every time you and I eat alone, I feel extremely stressed."

"Can I still bring pressure to you?" Chen Guoliang laughed: "You can even manipulate ordinary department and bureau-level officials. Officials like me at the provincial and ministerial levels are probably not enough for you to consider, right?

?”

Chen Mingyuan knew that he had probably learned all about the turmoil he had caused in Qiantang in the past two years, so he said: "You are my elder and cannot be confused with others."

Chen Guoliang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid my words won't work with you anymore."

Chen Mingyuan was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Grandpa and the others...are they still angry?"

After rejecting the Mu family's marriage proposal last year, although there were not many calls from the family, I had failed to live up to my grandfather's expectations and the kindness of the supreme leader. How could I pretend that nothing happened.

"I'm angry, but you are his grandson after all, and you are such an old man. Even if I am scolded, will you be able to listen?"

Chen Guoliang sighed: "Besides, it's been so long, so there's no need to discuss it anymore. Besides, everyone understands and can understand your difficulties. Don't put any psychological burden on you."

Even though he said this, Chen Mingyuan could clearly see some regret on his face.

Presumably, for rejecting this marriage, the person in the family who regrets it the most, apart from my grandfather, is my third uncle.

Among them, in addition to regretting that I had lost an opportunity to achieve success in one step, I also regretted that my family had lost a potentially powerful ally.

As Mu Tianyu said at the beginning, the Mu family has deep roots in Chinese politics and stands out among the traditional aristocratic families. If a political marriage can be achieved with the Mu family, it will be of great benefit to the development of the family.

Moreover, it is rumored that the Mu family has a huge power in Jianghuai Province, with members of the direct line all over the place. Shang Wenbin, for example, came all the way from Jianghuai Province. The third uncle is now performing his duties in Jinling, the provincial capital. With the support of the Zhonghai family, if he can get another

The support of the Mu family is undoubtedly even more powerful.

Perhaps, the reason why Third Uncle chose to parachute here from the Central Government in the first place was because he hoped that his marriage to the Mu family would create a favorable environment for him.

Unfortunately, he disappointed everyone.

As if he could see his nephew's thoughts, Chen Guoliang said comfortingly: "Don't take the responsibility on yourself. I think I am not very capable, but I am not so depraved that I need to use my nephew's marriage as a stepping stone.

It is related to your lifelong happiness. If you arrange it so hastily, it will be a dereliction of duty as an uncle on my part. I will not have the shame to visit your father's grave in the future."

"When you say that, I feel even more embarrassed."

"Uncle and nephew, why are you out here?"

The two looked at each other, smiled, and dropped the topic.

Chen Guoliang seemed to know that his nephew had not completely emerged from the shadows, and he did not mention the matter of starting a family and starting a business during the dinner, but mainly paid attention to his work.

"Third Uncle, does the Municipal Public Security Bureau have a director named Yao?"

Chen Mingyuan suddenly remembered what happened to He Li. He didn't know much about the situation in Jinling City and didn't feel comfortable asking, so he tentatively mentioned it first.

Chen Guoliang said without hesitation: "You are referring to Vice Mayor Yao Ansheng, right?"

Chen Mingyuan was startled. Hearing this title, he was afraid that Xiao Sun didn't explain clearly just now. Yao Guangle's father's position should be the deputy mayor of the government and the director of the Public Security Bureau.

If this is the case, then it seems that the Yao family is indeed quite powerful in Jinling. No wonder He Li is afraid of becoming like that.

Chen Guoliang asked: "How do you know him?"

Chen Mingyuan sorted out his words and replied: "It's a friend of mine, a businessman from Qiantang. He recently came to Jinling to develop. He seems to have some disputes over interests with Mayor Yao's child, Yao Guangle. She just had a car accident the day before yesterday. It seems that someone

It was deliberately instigated by Yao Guangle who went to the hospital just now to cause trouble for her."

"oh?"

Chen Guoliang put down his chopsticks, obviously very interested in this information: "Tell me the details of your friend."

Listening to the third uncle's tone, Chen Mingyuan vaguely noticed that there seemed to be a gap between him and Yao Ansheng. At least the relationship was not close. Maybe the third uncle could not fully control the city government after coming to Jinling. As He Li said, here

People like to stick together and bully others. Looking at Yao Guangle's domineering energy, you can roughly imagine how strong his father Yao Ansheng is.

He understood that the news might be of use to Third Uncle, so he did not hide anything and told the truth about the details he knew. Finally, he asked: "Third Uncle, can you help me take care of my friend first? I'm worried that Yao Guangle will

Be ruthless."

"I've heard that the kid from the Yao family is a demon king. It's true."

Chen Guoliang smiled, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, and said, "Let's do this. I'll send someone to the hospital to keep an eye on her first, at least to make sure she's not in personal danger. As for the next arrangements... we'll make a long-term decision."

Bar."

Chen Mingyuan frowned slightly. Listening to what his third uncle said, he planned to wait and see what happened.

Thinking about it, he really wanted to take this opportunity to influence the Yao family to increase his influence in Jinling City, but due to his fledgling status, he did not want to directly engage in conflict over this matter.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the ringtone of his cell phone. Chen Mingyuan took it out and saw that it was Qiantang's number. It must be a call from He Li or Xiao Sun.

Just as he was about to answer the call, Chen Guoliang pressed down with his palm and said, "Stop answering."

Chen Mingyuan looked up at him, and immediately understood that the third uncle wanted this matter to become more serious.

But when I think of Yao Guangle's sinister nature, he has already murdered He Li once, but he still keeps asking for trouble, which shows that the entanglement between the two is not simple. He just sits back and ignores it, not knowing what harm He Li will get.

The ringing kept ringing, and Chen Mingyuan felt it was a bit harsh, but he still chose to put it back in his pocket. I hope this woman has learned this lesson and will not go astray again.

"A little impatience will ruin a big plan."

Chen Guoliang smiled with emotion: "I have already asked for a room upstairs. You can go up and have a rest after dinner. It happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. There is a market near the Qinhuai River, which is very lively. I will let Xiao Lin show you around.

Come and have a good two days in Jinling."

Xiao Lin is the man in suit who just greeted him to get in the car, the secretary of his third uncle.

Chen Mingyuan nodded silently, and suddenly thought of the matter involving Mu Dazhuang's sister. Just as he was about to entrust it, the box door was suddenly pushed open, and secretary Xiao Lin hurried in. It seemed that he had something important to report, but he glanced at Chen Mingyuan with scruples.

Chen Guoliang nodded and said: "He is my nephew, just say so."

Xiao Lin nodded hurriedly and said: "Mayor, Secretary Yue is here too. I heard that you are eating here and you are walking this way."

"Who else?"

"And his wife, I heard that she was hosting a banquet to entertain a distinguished guest."

Chen Guoliang raised his eyebrows in surprise, pondered for a moment, then stood up and asked Xiao Lin to open the door to greet the guests.

Almost as soon as the door opened, the sound of footsteps came in, and then there was a burst of laughter: "What a coincidence, Mayor Chen."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes strode in. He had a straight figure, good facial features, a bold nose, and a full head. He looked like an old handsome guy. Although he looked a bit late, judging from his sharp facial contours,

Come on, you must have been a handsome and outstanding person when you were young.
