Li Zhiyan nodded with satisfaction. "Thank you, Director Wang. My husband and I will come to thank you personally another day."
"Don't mention it. How could I not handle things when President Li comes in person?" Director Wang was thinking to himself, Could Sun Zhewen have cuckolded Chairman Liu? Why is this Li Zhiyan so proactive, even getting the Secretary's wife involved? Is this young man really that bold? He probably doesn't even know what 'death' means. Whatever, I've got a million in kickbacks, I don't care how the Liu family messes around.
Li Zhiyan asked with concern, "I wonder how long it will take, Director Wang?"
Director Wang pondered for a moment, then replied, "Well, if the Secretary agrees, it can be done within a week. But regarding the Women's Federation, you'll have to handle that yourselves. I don't get along with Liu Ruyue."
Li Zhiyan nodded, a confident smile on her face. "Then we'll trouble you, Director Wang. We'll take care of the Women's Federation."
Li Zhiyan narrowed her eyes slightly, secretly pleased. A cold smile played on her lips. Heh, I didn't expect him to be afraid of a woman. She sneered inwardly.
Everyone in Jiang City knew that at a dinner, Director Wang got a bit tipsy. The alcohol went to his head, and he started getting handsy with Liu Ruyue. As a result, Liu Ruyue gave him a resounding slap, silencing the entire private room. Director Wang's face instantly turned ashen, but what was even more embarrassing was that the incident reached the higher-ups. The next day, he was severely reprimanded by his superiors and nearly removed from his position. This matter spread like wildfire in Jiang City County, and that's how the rumor started that Liu Ruyue had powerful connections.
"President Li, please don't make fun of me anymore. I'll definitely handle your matter beautifully," Director Wang said awkwardly, the smile on his face a little stiff.
Li Zhiyan put away her sneer, speaking with a feigned casualness, "Alright, I'll wait for your good news then. I'll have my sister go to the Women's Federation to get the person."
"Okay." Director Wang nodded, breathing a sigh of relief. He quickly escorted the "god of wealth" out of his office before turning back and returning to his desk to pick up his phone and start dialing.
Li Zhiyan returned to her car, her mood pleasant as she called Chen Qingyan. "Director Wang has handled it. He's transferring the deputy director to the County Bureau. You go to the Women's Federation to get the person. By the way, how did things go with Liu Qunqi?"
On the other end of the line, Chen Qingyan's voice was a little hesitant. "I've already spoken to him, but if we do this, I'm afraid Zhewen's future promotions will face even more difficulties. After all, this transfer to the Police Station is not legitimate."
Li Zhiyan frowned slightly, her tone resolute. "Cousin, there's really no time. How about I come pick you up and we go to the Women's Federation? I'll tell you something on the way."
"Alright, come over then." Chen Qingyan agreed.
Li Zhiyan drove the car to the outside of the town government and sent Chen Qingyan a message: "I'm here, at the gate."
Before long, Chen Qingyan walked out, a trace of fatigue on her face, and got into the car. Seeing this, Li Zhiyan asked with concern, "Cousin, have you been too tired lately?"
Chen Qingyan sighed, rubbing her temples. "Yes, there's been too much going on lately. I'm really exhausted."
After Li Zhiyan drove the car away from the area, she pulled over to the side of the road and turned to Chen Qingyan, a hint of mystery in her eyes. "Cousin, do you know why I wanted Zhewen to go to the Police Station?"
Chen Qingyan felt a pang, as if pricked by a needle, when she heard Li Zhiyan also call Sun Zhewen "Zhewen." A mixture of sourness and discomfort welled up within her. She struggled to control her emotions, took a deep breath, and said in as calm a tone as possible, "Just tell me."
Li Zhiyan looked around, making sure no one else was eavesdropping, then lowered her voice. "What I heard today made me even more certain of this decision. This morning, I overheard a conversation between Liu Qingfeng and Liu Lin. Liu Jing ordered Liu Heizi to kill that holdout family in the current demolition, and she also said that if the child in my belly wasn't his, she would get rid of me. Sis, how can I not be anxious? We don't have a single person we can rely on right now. If something really happens, who will help us?"
Chen Qingyan's heart skipped a beat, her eyes widening in disbelief. "They really dare to kill someone?"
Li Zhiyan nodded, her expression serious. "This is definitely true, Sis. Don't forget, where is this holdout family's house? Where is this demolition taking place?"
Chen Qingyan frowned, thinking for a moment, then suddenly understood, "Urban Village demolition."
"Yes, so his family will definitely come and make a scene later. Although their demands are unreasonable, it's not a reason to take a life," Li Zhiyan sighed helplessly.
Chen Qingyan nervously bit her lip, secretly relieved. "It's a good thing you told me. I received a letter of complaint today."
Li Zhiyan said urgently, "Sister, even if Zhewen is transferred here, you still have to support him and get him a leadership position in the Police Station. Otherwise, we'll be really passive."
Chen Qingyan nodded, thought for a moment, and finally made up her mind, "Alright."
Seeing her sister soften, Li Zhiyan continued to persuade, "Sister, put aside your serious theories for now. You can talk about them when you have a say."
Chen Qingyan frowned, her tone firm. "Enough, I'll handle this. Don't worry about it. I won't sink to their level."
Li Zhiyan shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Sister, forget it, I won't say anything. Let's go to the Women's Federation."
\n\n
Arriving in front of the Women's Federation building, Li Zhiyan stood at the door, the gentle breeze blowing through her long hair. She didn't go in with Chen Qingyan, choosing to wait outside. Chen Qingyan, on the other hand, looked composed and walked into the building with confident steps.
\n\n
The corridor was quiet, only the crisp sound of Chen Qingyan's high heels echoing on the floor. She went straight to Sun Zhewen's office. Through the glass window, Sun Zhewen was buried in paperwork. When he saw Chen Qingyan, he looked up, a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes. Chen Qingyan smiled slightly at him, as if saying, "We'll talk later." Then she continued on, heading directly for the chairman's office.
She stopped in front of the door and gently knocked. "Come in," Liu Ruyue's gentle voice responded from inside.
Chen Qingyan pushed the door open, a smile on her face. "Chairwoman Liu, we meet again."
Liu Ruyue looked up and, seeing Chen Qingyan, a hint of surprise flashed across her face. "Oh, Secretary Chen, you're a busy woman these days. You still have time to visit us, your old subordinates?"
Chen Qingyan smiled and shook her head. "Yes, but I came specifically to see you today."
Liu Ruyue raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "You came to see me? What's on your mind?"
Chen Qingyan sat down, still smiling. "It's like this, I want to ask you for someone."
The smile on Liu Ruyue's face became more meaningful. "It's Sun Zhewen, isn't it?"
Chen Qingyan was slightly taken aback, clearly surprised. "How did you know?"
