Chapter 2882 This matter is not worth it
On the other side, Shao Hongli was in a particularly good mood today because he had confronted Qin Feng head-on at the meeting and regained the feeling of being on equal footing with Qin Feng, or even being the only one who mattered.
Shao Hongli was an extremely arrogant and domineering person. In the past, in Shazhou City, especially in the municipal government, who dared to disobey him? Back then, he was like an emperor.
But everything changed after Qin Feng arrived, especially recently. He was overwhelmed by Qin Feng, who gradually eliminated his power and eroded his influence and prestige in the municipal government. He was no match for Qin Feng and eventually lost the right to even speak a harsh word to him.
In particular, he went to Qin Feng's office twice recently to "beg for mercy," but Qin Feng ignored him both times. This was a great humiliation for Shao Hongli, and he has been holding a grudge about it ever since.
Today, he has finally achieved a complete triumph.
Shao Hongli clenched his fists. What he wanted now was not just to gradually regain the status, power, and influence that originally belonged to him, but also to do everything he could to trample Qin Feng underfoot, and preferably to kill Qin Feng completely.
Because of the humiliation he had suffered, he now hated Qin Feng to the core.
Shao Hongli is currently sitting there pondering how to use Huayang Group as a starting point to gradually drag Qin Feng into the mess.
Shao Hongli knew very well that Jiang Longjun protected him this time so that he could counterbalance Qin Feng, and one of the reasons Yang Guoqiang saved him was also because he needed him to deal with Qin Feng from within. Therefore, if he wanted to gain the support of Jiang Longjun and Yang Guoqiang, he had to act like a mad dog and keep chasing and biting Qin Feng. That was his value.
Shao Hongli was completely unaware that Ding Wenbo had disappeared. Currently, only Yang Guoqiang and Qin Feng in the entire Shazhou knew about this, and there was absolutely no way that Yang Guoqiang would tell Shao Hongli this news.
That evening, Yang Zhijie was suddenly called home by Yang Guoqiang for dinner.
When Yang Zhijie heard the news, he thought he had misheard. This was a treatment he hadn't received in many years.
Yang Zhijie has been in a bad mood these past two days. Yang Guoqiang's offer to stop interfering with the relocation of the No. 1 Middle School in exchange for Jiang Longjun's protection of Shao Hongli has greatly displeased Yang Zhijie, as the relocation of the No. 1 Middle School is too important for the entire Lixin Group.
Yang Zhijie couldn't understand why Yang Guoqiang would do this. In Yang Zhijie's view, it was a very bad deal. In the past, Yang Zhijie might have had some value in the exchange, but now Shao Hongli was completely suppressed by Qin Feng and was useless. In Yang Zhijie's view, exchanging ten Shao Hongli for the relocation of the No. 1 Middle School would be a loss.
Although Yang Zhijie was very dissatisfied, he dared not express any dissatisfaction with Yang Guoqiang's decision, or at least not show any dissatisfaction.
For the first time ever, Yang Guoqiang invited him to come home for dinner. Yang Zhijie didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest and drove back to the Yang family's old house before it got dark.
Yang Zhijie was very surprised to find that he did not see Yin Da when he returned to the Yang family's old house.
In Yang Zhijie's memory, Yin Da had never left the Yang family's old house.
"You're back? Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Yang Guoqiang came downstairs.
Yang Guoqiang didn't come from the Buddhist temple today, which surprised Yang Zhijie.
After washing his hands, Yang Zhijie walked into the dining room, where Yang Guoqiang was already sitting at the table. There were three dishes and a soup on the table, but without exception, all three dishes and the soup were vegetarian.
For Yang Zhijie, coming back for meals was torture. Not only did he have to endure not having any meat, but he also had to pretend that he really enjoyed the vegetarian food.
The servants had already served the meal. After Yang Zhijie sat down, he ate while asking Yang Guoqiang, "Where's Uncle Yin? Why didn't he come to eat?"
“He went out to run some errands for me,” Yang Guoqiang said calmly.
Yang Zhijie was stunned. If Yin Da went out on business, it must be something important. What important thing has happened to the Yang family recently?
Yang Zhijie really wanted to ask, but knowing Yang Guoqiang's personality, he swallowed his question.
"Have you been in contact with Shao Hongli recently?" Yang Guoqiang asked while eating, without looking up, as if it were a casual conversation.
Yang Zhijie didn't know why Yang Guoqiang suddenly asked about Shao Hongli.
“No, I haven’t been in contact with him for a while. He’s a useless piece of trash now, completely suppressed by Qin Feng, and can’t play any role at all,” Yang Zhijie said.
"What? You have a problem with my decision to protect Shao Hongli at the No. 1 Middle School in the city?" Yang Guoqiang raised his head slightly. How could he not hear the emotion in Yang Zhijie's words?
"No, I just think it's not worth using the No. 1 Middle School of the city to save that good-for-nothing Shao Hongli," Yang Zhijie replied, but his answer only proved that he had a problem with it.
"Have you considered that if we don't save Shao Hongli, he will definitely die this time?"
"Let him die if he wants to. He was just a dog we raised. Now that he's no longer of any use, let him fend for himself. It's not worth spending a lot of money to save him." Yang Zhijie used an analogy. In his eyes, Shao Hongli had always been a dog, only he used to be a useful dog, but now he had become a worthless dog.
Yang Guoqiang did not respond to Yang Zhijie's words, but instead asked, "You have had a close relationship with Shao Hongli over the years. Tell me the truth today, how much of your business has Shao Hongli been involved in?"
"Dad, what do you mean by asking this?" Yang Zhijie didn't understand Yang Guoqiang's meaning.
"Let me put it more bluntly, how much does Shao Hongli know about you? And to what extent is he involved? If Shao Hongli is arrested, will it implicate you? Will it implicate Lixin Group or our Yang family?" Yang Guoqiang continued to ask.
"Dad, you didn't decide to save Shao Hongli because of this, did you?" Yang Zhijie asked after a moment of surprise.
"Now it's my turn to ask you, so give me a definite answer." Yang Guoqiang suddenly glared angrily at Yang Zhijie.
Yang Zhijie was startled, then said, "Shao Hongli is our spokesperson in the Shazhou officialdom. He handles almost everything that requires official intervention, and he is involved in many things."
"In other words, if he gets arrested, it will implicate you and our Yang family, right?" Yang Guoqiang asked again.
“Yes, that’s true, but Dad, you don’t need to be nervous. Even if Shao Hongli is sent to the Discipline Inspection Commission by Qin Feng this time, it’s the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission. With that person there, what’s there to be afraid of? How could it possibly implicate us? Dad, we’ve encountered similar situations in previous years, and they were all resolved at the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, weren’t they?” Yang Zhijie suddenly felt that Yang Guoqiang had aged, not only was he less courageous than before, but his mind was also failing.
