Chapter 2833 We must make a scene at the provincial level.

That afternoon, Yang Zhijie was leisurely playing golf on the golf course on the hill behind the Lixin Hotel.

This is the only golf course in the entire sandbar. When the Lixin International Hotel was first built, there was no plan for this golf course. It was built temporarily after Yang Zhijie took over the Lixin Group. The reason is simple: Yang Zhijie learned about the sport of golf during his years abroad.

Whether Yang Zhijie truly likes golf is unknown, but he felt it was a high-end sport that suited his persona, so he built this golf course.

Building a golf course in a place like a sandbar requires a huge investment, and the regular maintenance costs are also considerable. Most importantly, there are hardly any people in the entire sandbar who know how to play golf, let alone spend a fortune to come here to play.

So after the golf course was built, it practically became Yang Zhijie's private course, and no one else came except him.

Even so, Yang Zhijie himself rarely comes here more than a few times a year.

Today is a rare sunny day after the first snow of early winter, so Yang Zhijie made a special trip to play golf. However, unlike others who play golf in short sleeves and sun hats, Yang Zhijie is playing golf in a down jacket.

Yang Zhijie was playing when Ding Haiyang arrived on the court's electric cart and got off next to Yang Zhijie.

"The weather is great today. It's rare to have sunshine and no wind, perfect for playing ball. After today, we might not have such good weather again all year," Ding Haiyang said with a smile.

“Play a few rounds with me. I can’t find many golf partners in the whole of Shazhou besides you. Shazhou is too small. If our Lixin Group wants to develop, we still need to go to big cities, at least to Xidu.” Yang Zhijie finished speaking and swung the club to hit a ball.

At this moment, a staff member brought over a golf club and handed it to Ding Haiyang.

“It’s not the right time yet. We should wait until Lixin Group has completely cleaned up its act before taking this step. In the current situation, Lixin Group is the safest in Shazhou.” Ding Haiyang also hit a shot.

"I can only sigh. It's easier said than done for Lixin Group to completely clean up its name." Yang Zhijie sighed and got on the electric scooter with Ding Haiyang, heading towards the next hitting spot.

Today, Yang Zhijie invited Ding Haiyang over to play ball with him.

"How are the preparations going over there?" Yang Zhijie asked.

"Everything is basically arranged." Ding Haiyang hit another ball.

“All five projects have been at a standstill. This week, Sun Yuanwei has been communicating intensively with the people working on these five projects, hoping they would resume construction immediately, but it has been in vain. We have given them instructions, and no one dares to disobey.”

"However, to my surprise, Sun Yuanwei's attitude was also very firm. He gave these projects a few days' deadline, saying that if construction didn't resume by Sunday, which is today, the government would forcibly remove these construction companies tomorrow and replace them with new contractors." Ding Haiyang reported, standing next to Yang Zhijie.

"Change the construction company? Has Sun Yuanwei lost his mind or Qin Feng lost his mind? Who would dare to take over the project in Shazhou without my permission? And who would dare to come into Shazhou from outside without my permission?" Yang Zhijie laughed loudly.

"I reckon this is Qin Feng's idea. With Sun Yuanwei's shrewdness, he couldn't possibly not see this. Putting aside whether anyone dares to take it on, even if someone does, how long will it take to complete the procedures? Plus, if we let the construction company cause a scene, this matter won't be finished in less than two or three years."

“If they really take this step tomorrow, it will be very beneficial to us. Then we can let the construction company take the migrant workers to the provincial government to petition in a legitimate way.” Ding Haiyang also smiled.

"What about public opinion? Are they ready?" Yang Zhijie asked again.

"We're fully prepared. As soon as we start, we can guarantee to ignite a massive online frenzy..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhijie put down his cue stick and lit a cigarette while standing still.

"Since Qin Feng is going to liquidate these projects tomorrow, let's start this process tomorrow. We'll incite the migrant workers to riot tomorrow. There are a few key points to keep in mind. First, the rioters must claim to be migrant workers. Even if they are all our people, we must make sure that a few are genuine migrant workers so that they are representative."

"Secondly, this matter must be brought up to the provincial level, and it would be best if a few more people died."

"Thirdly, public opinion must keep up, and its influence should not be limited to Shazhou, but should at least cover the entire Gansu-Liangzhou province."

"Only if this matter is made very serious and reaches the provincial level, can the person in the province take it seriously and make Qin Feng get out of Shazhou."

"This is what my father-in-law wants, do you understand?" Yang Zhijie said earnestly to Ding Haiyang.

Ding Haiyang nodded.

"Why did the planned suicide attempt due to lung cancer suddenly fall through? What exactly happened?" Yang Zhijie continued to ask.

“I don’t know which link went wrong. I wasn’t involved much in this matter. It was arranged by Shao Hongli. I sent a few people to organize it. Those involved were all from Lao San’s side. Overnight, everyone involved was arrested, and several people from Lao San’s side were also implicated. Several of Shao Hongli’s subordinates were also implicated and were taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission.”

“I suspect that someone leaked the information in advance. Otherwise, how could the police have set up such a meticulous surveillance operation, as if they knew our every move beforehand? We were caught completely off guard and they wiped us out,” Ding Haiyang replied.

“Let’s put this matter aside for now; now is not the time to pursue it. We’ll investigate these matters thoroughly after Qin Feng is driven out of Shazhou, and see who the mole really is,” Yang Zhijie said.

“There’s something else. Shao Hongli came to see me again last night. He still wants to see you. I told him you wouldn’t see him, and he said if you don’t see him again, he’ll have to go see the old man,” Ding Haiyang said.

"Hmph...Do you think he can just see the old man whenever he wants?" Yang Zhijie sneered.

“I just received news that he did go to the Yang family’s old residence today. I got the news on my way here that the old man met with him, and they should be meeting now,” Ding Haiyang said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhijie frowned.

"What does the old man mean by this?" Yang Zhijie looked at Ding Haiyang with a mixture of anger and confusion.

"The fact that the old man saw Shao Hongli means that he doesn't intend to give up on Shao Hongli. This is just telling you to give Shao Hongli a warning and know when to stop," Ding Haiyang analyzed.

“President Yang, Shao Hongli’s act of meeting with Jiang Longjun privately without your consent to try to reach an agreement with Qin Feng is indeed despicable, but a warning is enough. Whether now or in the future, we need a handle to control the Shazhou Municipal Government, and Shao Hongli is more suitable to use than to cultivate a new one,” Ding Haiyang continued to persuade Yang Zhijie.
