Chapter 1845: Bonding Through Calligraphy

Liu Fusheng said: "Hai Changchun has been involved in many cases. Others can use him to attack me, and I can also use him to fight back against others."

Sun Hai nodded and said, "Okay, let's keep him alive...Did Chen Zixing find out any new information?"

Liu Fusheng said: "In fact, Chen Zixing is not Tang Shaoying's core subordinate. The information he knows is not as valuable as the information in Hai Changchun's hands."

After the two separated, Liu Fusheng came to Jiangtou City Public Security Bureau.

At Liu Fusheng's request, Chen Zixing was not sent to the detention center, but remained at the Municipal Bureau to take a statement.

After communicating with the leaders of the Public Security Bureau, Liu Fusheng came to the detention room.

Chen Zixing's mental state was not very good. He looked sloppy and dejected.

When he saw Liu Fusheng, he subconsciously stood up, bowed and saluted Liu Fusheng with a very flattering attitude.

"Secretary Liu, you are here."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Did you know I was coming?"

Chen Zixing shook his head and said, "How dare I speculate on Secretary Liu's whereabouts? I just feel that it is an honor for me that Secretary Liu can come to see me, a prisoner."

Liu Fusheng sighed. Compared with those corrupt officials who had been brought down before, Chen Zixing was the most spineless one.

This is also normal, as other people climbed up step by step with their own abilities. Chen Zixing is an exception, as he only relied on some opportunities and the ability to curry favor with the powerful.

Liu Fusheng said: "I am not interested in those conventional questions. What I want to ask is, how did you and Tang Shaoying know each other?"

Liu Fusheng deliberately avoided mentioning Tang Shaoying's position and chose to call him by his name. This hint might have made Chen Zixing think that Liu Fusheng did not take Tang Shaoying seriously at all, and also made him know that he should not expect Tang Shaoying to save him.

This psychological suggestion works very well.

After some ideological struggle, Chen Zixing finally said frankly: "Secretary Tang and I... Oh no, Tang Shaoying and I met by chance. At that time, I was a senior clerk in Jiangtou Municipal Government. When I was doing business near Mingyue Building, I had a collision with a car."

Through Chen Zixing's narration, the process of his acquaintance with Tang Shaoying gradually became clear.

The car that Chen Zixing scratched was the one that Tang Shaoying took when she went to Mingyue Tower.

At that time, Chen Zixing was very arrogant. After getting off the car, he didn't even look at who was responsible. He just started swearing, asking the other party to pay compensation and blaming the other party for not knowing how to drive.

Tang Shaoying's driver was very polite at first and even promised to make compensation.

However, Chen Zixing thought that he had met an easy target, so he asked for an astronomical sum of money. This angered Tang Shaoying's driver, and the two sides were about to start a fight.

Just when Chen Zixing was yelling about calling the police and boasting that he was a big shot in Jiangtou City and no one dared to mess with him, the rear seat window, which had been tightly covered, suddenly lowered.

Tang Shaoying in the car said something to the driver, and the driver stopped arguing with Chen Zixing and agreed to his very outrageous request.

Chen Zixing's ability to handle affairs is limited, but his eyesight and hearing are exceptionally good.

At a glance, he recognized Tang Shaoying.

Chen Zixing was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body. He trotted over, bowed and apologized, nodding and bowing, acting extremely humble.

Tang Shaoying didn't expect that a simple sentence would expose his identity. After being stunned, he asked Chen Zixing's name and sent him away.

Chen Zixing never expected that at that time, his life would be on the verge of death, and his fate would undergo a huge turn.

If he really dared to take the outrageously large amount of compensation offered by Tang Shaoying, then he would most likely disappear completely.

But he didn't take it, and things took a turn for the better. Later, Tang Shaoying sent someone to find Chen Zixing and instructed him to do some things.

According to Chen Zixing's analysis, Tang Shaoying might have just arrived in eastern Guangdong Province and was in the Chaojiang area, and he also needed a dog that was obedient enough to help him with his work.

After all, the rule of the Chaojiang clan is not to rely on anyone, not to take sides, and to insist that Chaojiang be managed by the Chaojiang people themselves.

If Tang Shaoying wanted to get involved in this special economic zone designated by the state, he had to support a spokesperson, and he chose Chen Zixing, who was humble enough, and the Chen clan, which had no strength.

After Tang Shaoying's operations, Chen Zixing first became the patriarch of the Chen family, and then rose rapidly in status, gradually becoming the top leader of Jiangtou City.

During this process, he also did many illegal and disciplinary things for Tang Shaoying. However, Tang Shaoying knew very well that Chen Zixing's character of currying favor with the powerful was unreliable. The things entrusted to him were all small and safe, and were of the nature of a token of allegiance. There was nothing overly confidential or high-end.

Chen Zixing said to Liu Fusheng, "Secretary Liu, Tang Shaoying told me many things through Hai Changchun. Compared to me, Hai Changchun is his real lackey. You should investigate this carefully."

Liu Fusheng nodded. He could understand Tang Shaoying's thoughts. People like Chen Zixing had no principles and were a very lowly type. It was indeed impossible for him to take on important tasks.

Liu Fusheng asked: "Do you know why Tang Shaoying went to Mingyue Tower?"

Chen Zixing nodded and said, "I know that Tang Shaoying went to Mingyue Tower to look for the top lady, Ms. Lu."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Jize Minglu from Nihong Country?"

Chen Zixing said, "Ah, yes, that's right, it's her. Secretary Liu, have you also been to Mingyue Tower?"

After saying this, Chen Zixing immediately showed an awkward smile, because almost all the government officials who entered Mingyue Tower were controlled by Hai Changchun.

If Liu Fusheng had been to Mingyue Tower, how could he have been so aggressive towards Hai Changchun?

Liu Fusheng smiled slightly and did not continue the topic: "Do you know this Yoshizawa Minglu?"

Chen Zixing shook his head and said, "This woman can only show us her talents. I only know that she can play the guzheng, calligraphy, Chinese painting, etc. I don't know anything else. I heard that she and Tang Shaoying also met through calligraphy."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I heard that Mayor Gu of Chaojiang City once asked you to give his calligraphy works to Tang Shaoying?"

Chen Zixing curled his lips and said, "Gu Hongcheng's calligraphy is far inferior to Tang Shaoying and Ms. Lu. Don't look at him as the vice chairman of the calligraphy association. In fact, if he didn't have the Gu family as a backing and he was the mayor of Chaojiang City, I'm afraid the calligraphy association would not accept him into the association."

Liu Fusheng nodded and did not continue the topic.

"Do you know how long Tang Shaoying and Ms. Lu knew each other?"

Chen Zixing shook his head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, they were together before I met Tang Shaoying."

Chen Zixing was just a small-time cadre back then. It must have taken a long time for Tang Shaoying to support him to become the top leader of Jiangtou City. In addition, he had been in control of Jiangtou City for several years.

By this calculation, Tang Shaoying and Yoshizawa Minglu are indeed old friends.
