Chapter 2003: Digging Out the Cancer

The first thing Tang Shaoying must do is to eliminate his own hidden dangers, and his biggest hidden danger at the moment is Hai Changchun in Chaojiang area.

As for Hai Changchun, Liu Fusheng will find a way to make him perform some actions that do not meet Tang Shaoying's expectations, so as to push Tang Shaoying to take a more extreme path.

……

On a rainy night, an ordinary car stopped where Liu Fusheng lived.

Hong Chengli, the village chief of Hong Village, pushed the door and got out of the car. Holding an umbrella, he trotted all the way to meet Liu Fusheng.

Liu Fusheng didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "I am very satisfied with the recent behavior of Village Chief Hong. Hong Village is the largest clan in Jiangtou City and even in the entire Chaojiang area. Village Chief Hong's initiative to support clan reform has played a huge role in the relevant work of our government."

Hong Chengli smiled respectfully and said, "Secretary Liu, what you said is a bit awkward. I have always supported your policies unconditionally because I believe in your character, ability and political ambition. You care about the grassroots people. If I have the opportunity to serve you, I must take the lead."

Liu Fusheng smiled slightly. He knew that Hong Chengli supported the Xie family instead of him.

For other things, such as plundering lithography machines, the Hong family would be willing to take risks for themselves, but clan reform is the Hong family's Achilles' heel. Last time, Liu Fusheng just mentioned the matter of modifying the clan rules, and Hong Chengli's face changed drastically, showing great resistance.

This time he took the initiative to find Sun Hai and become a pioneer in clan reform. It was obvious that the Xie family wanted to talk to him.

Only when the Xie family expresses its stance will Hong Chengli realize that the Hong family cannot stop the tide of history.

Seeing Liu Fusheng's smile, Hong Chengli's face also turned red. He said awkwardly: "Secretary Liu, I have something else to talk to you about."

Liu Fusheng asked: "What's the matter?"

Hong Chengli smiled flatteringly and said, "After Hong Village abandoned the clan rules and stopped interfering in the private affairs of the clan members, then there is no difference between us and other villages. There should be no need to... dismember us, right?"

This was what Hong Chengli had in mind. He had always been worried that Liu Fusheng would divide Hong Village or the Hong Family into several natural villages.

In that case, without the support of powerful clan members, the Hong family will decline rapidly and will no longer be the number one in Chaojiang. Then, Hong Chengli will become a sinner and a shame to his ancestors.

Clan reform is imperative at present. Hong Chengli is well aware that his resistance is futile, so after weighing the pros and cons, he took the initiative to volunteer and set an example in order to ask Liu Fusheng to show leniency and let them off the hook in the matter of dismembering Hong Village.

Hong Chengli is indeed a model of respecting heaven and following ancestors.

Liu Fusheng looked at him deeply and said, "Clan reform is the only way for Chaojiang to develop. Do you still want to bargain with me on this matter?"

Hong Chengli was so scared that he quickly waved his hands: "You misunderstood, I have no intention of bargaining, I just want to ask Secretary Liu to show leniency to Hongcun and give us a way out."

Liu Fusheng sighed, "I promised at the beginning that I would seriously consider the historical issues left over from Hong Village. Now that Village Chief Hong has made outstanding contributions to the stability of the Chaojiang area, I will definitely not break my promise and take advantage of it."

Upon hearing this, Hong Chengli asked with a delighted look on his face, "Do you agree not to dismember Hong Village anymore?"

Liu Fusheng said: "From my personal perspective, I don't want to turn one village into several villages and increase management costs. After all, Hongcun has not encountered any major problems under your management."

Hong Chengli said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the residents of our Hong Village are all law-abiding and good people. I can assure you that as long as the Hong family is still there, Hong Village will definitely be a civilized village and a model village, and will never cause any trouble to the government."

Liu Fusheng nodded. What he conveyed to Hong Chengli was that there are some things that I can give you, but you can't ask for them yourself.

Hong Chengli had understood what Liu Fusheng meant. He stopped talking about the problem in Hong Village and asked tentatively, "Secretary Liu, you asked me to come here. What do you want me to do?"

Liu Fusheng asked, "Has Hai Changchun from Sino-Ocean International contacted you recently?"

Hong Chengli said: "Yes, we have been in close contact. He hinted to me that there will be big business for us to do. However, after he heard that I was very close to Secretary Sun and became the vanguard of clan reform, he never took the initiative to contact me."

Hong Chengli's initiative to volunteer would give people the impression that he was joining Liu Fusheng and Sun Hai.

Hai Changchun is not a fool. It would be very risky to do business with Hong Chengli at this time.

Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "You took the initiative to find Sun Hai, also to sever your relationship with Hai Changchun?"

"This one……"

Upon hearing this, Hong Chengli seemed a little at a loss, because this was exactly what he was thinking.

To him, Hongcun is more important than his life. He knows that Hai Changchun is going to be dealt with, so naturally he doesn't want to have too much contact with him.

However, this man is very vicious, and he cannot take the initiative to provoke him. After much thought, the way to avoid offending both sides is to let Hai Changchun stay away from him.

This time, Hong Chengli took the initiative to apply to be a pilot village for clan reform. This was a plan that killed two birds with one stone. It could show his loyalty to the Xie family, satisfy Liu Fusheng, and get rid of the trouble of Hai Changchun. He thought he was really smart, but he didn't expect that Liu Fusheng would see through him at a glance.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I understand your thoughts, but Hai Changchun and Sino-Ocean International are the biggest cancers in Chaojiang area. The government must eradicate them. Village Chief Hong cannot be immune to this matter."

Hong Chengli forced a smile and said, "Whatever you need me to do, just tell me. I will definitely help you complete the tasks."

Liu Fusheng said: "It's not a difficult task, I just hope you can bring some words to Hai Changchun."

Liu Fusheng slowly told Hong Chengli his plan. Hong Chengli's expression changed slightly at first, but then his eyes lit up.

"You, you will soon remove this cancer, right?"

Hong Chengli asked excitedly.

If the government is preparing to take action against Sino-Ocean International, Hong Chengli does not have to worry too much. What he is worried about is that Liu Fusheng and Sun Hai are playing a protracted war, and that he has been in contact with Hai Changchun too frequently, and he will inevitably do something that violates the law.

Liu Fusheng nodded. He knew that Hong Chengli was a smart man. "Are you willing to help?"

Hong Chengli nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter for you properly."

Liu Fusheng poured him a cup of tea and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Village Chief Hong."

Serving tea means seeing off guests. Hong Chengli knew that after the discussion, it was time for him to leave.

……

On this rainy night, Tang Shaoying also quietly came to Jiangtou City.

The person he wanted to meet was the courtesan of Mingyue Tower - Yoshizawa Minglu.
