Chapter 98: The Trump Card in Hand

  Seeing Hu Yanliang's restless appearance, Han Qin knew that his days were not going well either! Han Qin smiled and said: "Brother Hu, we two are also about to go our separate ways! I went to the bureau earlier and was told by the old cadres' office to return to the general office for ranking, which clearly means they want me to retire! It doesn't matter if I go back, it's just that this reputation isn't good to hear!"

  Hu Yanliang shook his head helplessly, feeling a bit apologetic. Han Qin was recommended by himself and now he's being returned in such a sorry state, it's really not glorious! Hu Yanliang sighed: "Brother, look at how things have turned out! Mayor Yan is seriously ill at this critical moment, we can't even ask for his help. As the vice president of the university, I'm also struggling to protect myself..."

  Han Qin knew that Hu Yanliang was indeed powerless in this matter, and smiled calmly: "Brother Hu, don't blame yourself. Without your recommendation, I wouldn't be sitting in this position either. I'm truly grateful to you from the bottom of my heart! Mayor Yan can help us for a while, but not forever! The rest of the road still depends on ourselves!"

  Hu Yanliang nodded repeatedly, Han Qin had only been at the old university for half a year, but his work ability was indeed impressive and would not be overlooked wherever he went! Seeing that Han Qin didn't seem to care about this matter, Hu Yanliang knew that this young man's abilities should not be underestimated, so he guessed whether Han Qin had found another backer!

  Han Qin sat down on the sofa, and Han Yanliang poured him a cup of tea, smiling: "Brother, I think you seem to have an ace up your sleeve. Is there still a trump card in your hand? By the way, also pull your brother along!"

  Ace? At Hu Yanliang's question, Han Qin smiled ambiguously! Indeed, Han Qin had the biggest card in his hand, which was Zheng Tongxin, the secretary of the municipal party committee. In the past six months, Han Qin had fully integrated into Zheng's private life circle, even making Wu Xiaofan, Zheng's secretary, feel envious. To ordinary people, this matter seemed as difficult as climbing a high mountain, but to Zheng Tongxin, it was easy as turning over his hand. As long as he arranged for his secretary to make a phone call, Wei Jianmin would obediently follow suit!

  Han Qin smiled and said, "Brother Hu overestimates me! I'm not a trump card, but I still have some connections in the city. I'll go and make some arrangements to get them to give you a heads up. If possible, I won't forget about Brother Hu!"

  Hu Yanliang was overjoyed, knowing that Han Qin was not a person who would boast or show off without being certain. Han Qin stood up and pulled out a bank card from his leather bag, handed it to Hu Yanliang, and said with a smile: "Brother, I've been in the official circle for so many years, but at critical moments, no one can say a word for me, it's really embarrassing! This matter is entrusted to you, brother! Here's a card, when asking someone to do something, you can't just rely on words, eating and entertaining also cost money!"

  Look at that brand new card, Han Qin put it back on the table and smiled: "Brother Hu, at critical moments, this thing is not very useful. You and I are also considered to be through thick and thin brothers, so let's not be polite! Treating friends to a meal, singing songs, I still have this ability!"

  Hu Yan looked at Han Qin with a mixture of emotions and said excitedly: "Since brother has spoken, I won't be hypocritical. From now on, just watch how big brother does it!"

  After taking a sip of tea, Han Qin thought for a moment and asked: "Hu Ge, you've been in the old cadres' bureau for quite some time now, what do you think of Wei Jianmin?"

  As soon as Wei Jianmin was mentioned, Hu Yanliang's expression became very complicated. After a moment of thought, he said: "This is an old fox! He has some skills to climb from a township nursing home partner to this position! I also heard from people in the bureau that Wei Jianmin once spoke the truth after drinking, saying that if you want to be an official, you must have roots under your feet and a hat on your head! Wei Jianmin is very overbearing in the old cadres' bureau, basically it's just his word!"

  Han Qin said in dismay, "Strictly speaking, Mayor Yan and Wei Jianmin have some connections. Now that Mayor Yan is seriously ill, Wei Jianmin has turned against us brothers. Isn't this too unscrupulous?"

  Hu Yanliang said indignantly: "Wei Jianmin befriended Mayor Yan, just because he knew that the old man had an unusual relationship with Secretary Zheng. Mayor Yan's uncle is also the provincial governor. He wanted to ask Mayor Yan to help him get active and take the seat of vice mayor! Doesn't he think about it? You are just a director of an old cadre bureau, in the city, you are a dispensable position, but you also want to be a deputy mayor! Isn't this not knowing one's own strength, purely a toad wanting to eat swan meat?"

  He paused, and Hu Yanliang continued: "Wei Jianmin is infatuated with the officialdom, Mayor Yan must be clear about the difficulties in this matter, and he will not do something that is not guaranteed to succeed. Wei Jianmin is very dissatisfied with Mayor Yan! Now that Mayor Yan is so seriously ill, Wei Jianmin feels that he has no value left, and naturally he is looking for a new backer! I heard that he has now climbed up to Yang, the deputy secretary in charge of political work and party building. Which leader does not have relatives everywhere? Wei Jianmin's move is to clear the way for himself, to show his loyalty to his new backer!"

  Han Qin savored his tea slowly, listening to Hu Yanliang's introduction, and gradually had a general idea in his mind - whether he should choose an appropriate time to get in touch with Director Wei.

  At 7:00 pm on Saturday, Han Qin arrived at Zheng Danyan's villa as scheduled. According to the beauty and health plan previously made for Zheng Tongxin, a facial massage was required once a week.

  The old poet had already become a couple with Fan Wenjun on New Year's Day last year. At their most critical moment, Han Qin helped them out. They were very grateful to Han Qin for not forgetting the person who dug the well after drinking water.

  When Han Qin walked in, the delicate and lovely Fan Wenjun hurried over to greet him, pouring tea and offering fruit, very enthusiastic! Zheng Danyan smiled and said: "Little Han, it's almost time for your promotion, once you're promoted, you'll become a formal office director, at such a young age, you'll be a deputy department level, with boundless prospects!"

  Han Qin smiled wryly, they say people change after marriage, and this originally carefree and cynical poet is now concerned about his career! Look at Zheng Danyan, he has indeed changed a lot in the past six months! Whether it's his clothes or hairstyle, this old poet is also becoming more refined!

  The most obvious change in Zheng Danyan is still his spiritual appearance! Originally dull and wrinkled face, now turned rosy and radiant, full of energy! Outsiders all say this is the nourishing effect of love, but Zheng Danyan himself knows best, he has been basking in the glory of being the younger brother of the municipal party secretary, enjoying the most advanced beauty and health care!

  After more than ten minutes, Secretary Zheng's car drove into the small courtyard. As soon as the car stopped, Wu Xiaofan skillfully got out of the front passenger seat and saw Han Qin waiting beside him. Wu Xiaofan smiled and waved at Han Qin before going to open the door for Secretary Zheng!

  When he first started doing this beauty and health care, Zheng Tongxin was quite evasive. Every week, he would come to this small villa for a massage, not even bringing his secretary, just letting the driver take him here.

  Later, Han Qin suggested to Zheng Tongxin that this was just a normal traditional Chinese medicine health preservation and there was no need to make it so mysterious. Zheng Tongxin is such a figure, and as soon as Han Qin said this, he immediately understood the crux of the matter! This beauty and health preservation cannot be achieved overnight, at least not in less than half a year! The municipal party secretary has several hours alone every week, even his secretary doesn't know what he's doing, which will indeed leave many people with space for imagination!

  When Zheng Tongxin came again later, Wu Xiaofan naturally followed. Zheng Tongxin also solemnly introduced Han Qin and his secretary to each other, and Han Qin also casually invited Wu Xiaofan to watch the whole process of him doing health care for Zheng Tongxin!

  Those who can sit in the position of Municipal Party Committee Secretary are all clever and resourceful people. From Han Qin's conversation with the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Wu Xiaofan was convinced that this young man's relationship with Zheng Secretary was intriguing! A young man who had just graduated from college could gain the favor of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, such an opportunity was indeed enviable!
