Chapter 1998: Respect for the Wise

After hearing this, Wang Xueqiang's heart trembled slightly: "It's my fault for not thinking of this. Thank you for your reminder, brother. Not long ago, I called Wang Zhiguang and scolded him. Now it seems that I am too naive."

Tang Shaoxiong said, "It's okay. Wang Zhiguang is just a small figure. After you vent your anger by scolding him, if you give him some sweet treats, he will still listen to your command. After all, you represent the Wang family of Yanjing and can bring him many conveniences in his official career."

Wang Xueqiang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll think about how to have a good chat with Wang Zhiguang and completely subdue him."

Tang Shaoxiong said: "Go ahead, I will do my best to help you get the approval of the vast majority of the Wang family. Don't forget to help me get what I want."

Wang Xueqiang said, "Don't worry, second brother. Your business is my business. Some people in the Wang family don't want me to return to the Yanjing Garrison. The reason is that they can't accept my identity... After I return to Beijing, we will help each other. Even Tang Shaoying and Tang Shaohao, and even the old man, will have to listen to your orders, second brother."

Tang Shaoxiong burst into laughter when he heard this. His expectations for Wang Xueqiang were indeed far beyond other people's imagination.

……

On the other hand, Liu Fusheng got Wang Zhiguang's consent and immediately called Fengtian Mayor Wang Bin without any hesitation.

Wang Bin said in surprise: "Secretary Liu, didn't you go to Dongrihe to participate in the military exercise? Why did you call me suddenly?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I met someone from the Wang family in winter."

Wang Bin said: "My cousin Wang Xueqiang? I know he also went to Dongrihe and watched the military exercise on behalf of our Fengliao Military Region."

Liu Fusheng: "I'm talking about Brigade Commander Wang Zhiguang."

Wang Bin thought about it for a moment and felt a little confused. He didn't know that Wang Zhiguang and Wang Xueqiang were relatives, so he naturally didn't think that Wang Zhiguang was a member of their Yanjing Wang family.

Liu Fusheng briefly told Wang Bin about Wang Zhiguang's situation.

Wang Bin immediately said, "So this Brigade Commander Wang is also related to our family? But before this, he had been in contact with Wang Xueqiang alone?"

When wise men speak, there is no need to elaborate.

Liu Fusheng had reminded Wang Bin many times to be vigilant towards Wang Xueqiang. After discovering this situation, Wang Bin had already guessed what Liu Fusheng wanted to do.

Liu Fusheng said: "The Blue Army failed, and Wang Xueqiang severely reprimanded Brigade Commander Wang for letting the enemy go, and threatened him to sever his relationship with the Wang family in Yanjing."

Wang Bin smiled and said, "Then I should be able to win over Brigade Commander Wang, right?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Yes, that's what I mean. Even if you go into politics, you can't lack the support of the military. As for how to do it specifically, it depends on your work arrangements."

Wang Bin thought for a moment and said, "I will immediately arrange the work at hand and leave later. I will try to take tonight's flight and arrive in Dongrihe tomorrow... Secretary Liu, before I go there, you must help me keep Wang Zhiguang. I want to have a good chat with him as soon as I get off the plane."

Liu Fusheng said, "Okay."

Liu Fusheng was very satisfied with Wang Bin's decision. Wang Bin had indeed matured and now had the vision and bearing of a mayor. He was also decisive in doing things and could take actions as soon as they were told to. He was also able to distinguish priorities.

Liu Fusheng told Wang Zhiguang that General Wang Kaijiang's legitimate son, Wang Bin, would immediately set out from Fengliao Province and come to see him overnight. Wang Zhiguang was immediately moved.

The next day, it was around five in the morning.

Wang Bin, who was exhausted from the journey, was led by Liu Fusheng to the guesthouse of the Dongrihe military exercise command headquarters and knocked on Wang Zhiguang's door.

Wang Zhiguang opened the door, still wearing his neat military uniform. It was obvious that he had not slept all night.

As soon as they met, Wang Bin said apologetically: "Comrade Wang, I am so sorry. I just wanted to see you earlier, but I didn't consider the time issue. It seems that you haven't rested well. I was inconsiderate."

"Comrade Wang, do you need to rest for a while? I can come over when you are well rested."

Wang Zhiguang knew Wang Bin's identity, and when he heard these words, he couldn't help but be slightly moved.

The person in front of him is the legitimate son of the Wang family in Yanjing, the mayor of Fengtian City, and a vice-provincial leader.

In any aspect, Wang Bin's status is far higher than Wang Zhiguang. Compared with Wang Xueqiang's attitude towards him, the Wang Bin in front of him is full of personal charm.

Wang Zhiguang was not stupid. He knew very well that Wang Bin's behavior was somewhat deliberate, but he was also aware of his own identity. In the eyes of the Wang family in Yanjing, he was just an insignificant existence. For example, Wang Xueqiang had never considered winning him over so deliberately.

Wang Zhiguang felt that Wang Bin, as the only son of Commander Wang Kaijiang, could achieve this, which already demonstrated his broad-mindedness and the importance he attached to himself.

He took a deep breath and said, "Mayor Wang, you came all the way from Fengliao Province to Dongrihe to see me. It is my honor. Not to mention waiting for you for one night, even if you made me wait for three days and three nights, I would not have any complaints."

Wang Bin waved his hand and said, "Comrade Wang, I'm eager to see you. How can I let you wait for me? I heard from Secretary Liu that you are also related to the Wang family. So, I should call you my cousin."

Wang Zhiguang shook his head and said, "I can't take responsibility for what you said. My relationship with the Wang family in Yanjing is very distant. Even according to seniority, I am younger than Mayor Wang. I should call you my uncle."

Liu Fusheng next to him laughed and said, "The generational relationship that Brigade Commander Wang mentioned should be discussed with Staff Officer Wang of the Fengliao Military Region, right? I think there is no need to discuss it with Mayor Wang. Since you are distant relatives, why bother to mention generational relationship? You are older than Mayor Wang, so it is only natural for him to call you cousin."

Liu Fusheng's words seemed casual, but Wang Zhiguang's heart moved slightly. He knew very well that Liu Fusheng was pointing at him.

Now that you have met Wang Bin, don't have anything to do with Wang Xueqiang anymore.

You can only choose one between Wang Xueqiang and Wang Bin. Even the seniority you got from Wang Xueqiang doesn't count in Wang Bin's case.

In fact, Wang Zhiguang thought a lot last night, including the relationship between Wang Bin and Wang Xueqiang. He could feel that there must be some conflicts between these two people.

Now that Liu Fusheng has made it clear to him, Wang Zhiguang certainly knows what choice he should make.

Not to mention the sincerity and enthusiasm shown by Wang Bin, Wang Zhiguang was extremely disgusted by what Wang Xueqiang had done and said before, and he was unwilling to associate with him.

So, he smiled and said without any hesitation: "Secretary Liu is right, I am too pedantic... This is not the place to talk, both of you come in, have a cup of tea first, and we will talk slowly."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fusheng and Wang Bin all smiled, followed Wang Zhiguang into the room, and started talking.

The three of them chatted happily until noon, when they went out together to have lunch.
