168: Chapter 168 Director Qi?

Zhao Yang remembered that in the plot, Song Siming was semi-coercive towards Haizao.

He certainly did not want this situation to happen to Chen Shuting; that would be too unfair to his brother-in-law.

Chen Shuting curled her lips, quite confidently: "Boss, don't worry. If Song Siming really dares to play dirty, he will be the only one who suffers."

Thinking of Chen Shuting's background, Zhao Yang also smiled—if Song Siming really dared to overstep, he might just be strangled to death by Chen Shuting with a tie.

He nodded: "Maybe I'm just worrying unnecessarily. But it would be good if Old Huang doesn't get jealous."

"Pfft." Chen Shuting suddenly laughed, then held her stomach and couldn't stop laughing.

Zhao Yang and Guan Zhizhi were both stunned.

"Sister Shuting, what are you laughing at?" Guan Zhizhi asked with a puzzled expression.

Chen Shuting took a deep breath, tried to suppress the corners of her mouth, and said: "Boss, I'm sorry. You mentioned Zhenhua, and I really can't help it... I laugh as soon as I think of him."

"Seeing how smug you were laughing just now, does Old Huang have some glorious history?" Zhao Yang asked.

Chen Shuting took a sip of tea and said: "I usually show my face in public and care a lot about Zhenhua's feelings. But Zhenhua told me not to be so cautious; he won't get angry. He especially enjoys that—that look of others having bad intentions towards his wife, but being helpless and only able to be envious, jealous, and hateful."

Zhao Yang covered his forehead: "Impressive."

This guy Huang Zhenhua is truly worthy of being the Big Sister's man.

He glanced at Guan Zhizhi: "Alright Zhizhi, don't hold it in when you're with me; if you want to laugh, just laugh."

"Hahahaha." Guan Zhizhi finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, "So Huang Zhenhua, who looks so serious, is actually such a closet freak, hahaha."

The atmosphere became lively.

Chen Shuting suddenly said: "Zhizhi, is your matter with Li Xiang settled? If it's settled, tell the Boss quickly so he can arrange his time."

Zhao Yang was stunned for a moment, then realized, and smiled: "Li Xiang is a good man; Zhizhi has good taste."

Guan Zhizhi blushed: "We're waiting for the Spring Festival holiday to hold it, in Jinghai. My parents also bought a house in Jinghai, and they will live there in the future. Li Xiang's dad will live with us in the future, and the two families are not far apart."

"Good, remember to send me an invitation." Zhao Yang smiled, then his expression became serious, "Are you clear about that Shikumen project?"

"I investigated it." Chen Shuting said, "Judging from my experience, there are big problems with the project. The city government's goal is urban renovation and public parks, but the real estate developers below are eyeing that fat piece of meat. I can be sure that they are all planning on real estate development. The land that actually falls into urban renovation and parks will definitely be some scraps, and other places will have their land use changed."

In the show, Manager Chen Sifu got the demolition project from Song Siming. To complete the task earlier, he used forced demolition methods, which resulted in the death of resident Grandma Li. This incident also became the fuse for Song Siming's downfall.

Zhao Yang originally thought that after giving Haizao another choice, the collusion between Manager Chen Sifu and Song Siming would not be so fast. But it might be that Manager Chen Sifu paid more real money, which can be seen from this Golf game, that the relationship between these two is already quite deep, so the demolition work of the Shikumen project will likely still fall into the hands of Manager Chen Sifu.

"Shuting, that's not what I wanted to ask." Zhao Yang asked, "Have you checked the situation of the area to be demolished?"

"That area has a very high population density and is an old shanty town." Chen Shuting said, "The cost of demolition here is relatively high. If it's in Jinghai, such city government projects will have funds tilted towards them, and the participating developers can make a profit, but it's not a windfall."

"Jinghai's shanty towns are different from Shanghai's shanty towns." Zhao Yang said, "There is an old lady in that area whose ancestors were Hanlin, and the whole alley used to be her family's ancestral property. Later, there was a prodigal son who smoked opium and gambled away half of it, and later, due to historical reasons, other houses were divided by relatives and friends and have never been returned to her."

Chen Shuting frowned: "Then the ownership of the house is also a problem, which makes it even more troublesome. In this situation, the government needs to organize a special working group to coordinate."

Zhao Yang couldn't help but laugh: "You still haven't understood the main point."

Guan Zhizhi whispered a reminder: "Sister Shuting, the Boss means that that place is the ancestral property of a Hanlin, and the houses are probably all cultural relics."

Chen Shuting finally realized, and smiled bitterly, tapping her forehead: "Boss, Zhizhi, I've embarrassed myself in front of you. Only you people who have stayed in the ancient capital can have this awareness. Then how can such a place be easily developed? They are all cultural relics."

"Yeah, you say this matter... does Mayor Zhang know?" Zhao Yang asked with deep meaning.

Chen Shuting was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Boss, I understand. I will find an opportunity to mention this to Mayor Zhang. I guess Mayor Zhang probably doesn't know; Shanghai is so big, he can't know everything."

Suddenly, she realized something and asked cautiously: "Boss, you and Secretary Song are not friends, right?"

Zhao Yang smiled: "I'm from the Procuratorate, I wouldn't dare to climb high to be friends with the Mayor's secretary."

Chen Shuting and Guan Zhizhi both covered their mouths and laughed, mourning for Song Siming for three minutes in their hearts.

...

On the third day, Song Siming bridged the connection and arranged for Mayor Zhang and Chen Shuting to meet. The two talked happily, not only chatting for nearly an hour but also having lunch together in the city government canteen.

That afternoon, the news spread in the Shanghai real estate circle—Jinghai Construction Group is about to officially enter the Shanghai real estate market. So some small real estate developers began to worry about their own safety, while large real estate developers pondered whether there was a possibility of cooperation with the Construction Group.

However, Zhao Yang couldn't care about these for the time being.

The day before, he was called back to the "Joint Laboratory of Intelligent Investigation" in the imperial capital by a phone call, responsible for conducting a one-week training for the police elites across the country. The content was to use the "Cross-Regional Crime Identification and Early Warning System" more proficiently and correctly, making technical preparations for the upcoming nationwide action to clear backlog criminal cases.

Although Zhao Yang left the public security sector, as the creator of this System, he was still appointed as the chief training instructor.

Zhao Yang sat in the office, looking at the sign-in record, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. There were some familiar names in it.

Qiu Bing—one of the main characters in the "Captain of the Criminal Police" world, a police flower.

Zhou Xun—one of the important characters in the "Day and Night" world. Originally, the list also included the detective Guan Hongfeng, but he had a major temporary task and did not attend.

Zhu Wei—one of the main characters in the "the silent truth" world. In the original show, he also contributed greatly to clearing the name of Hou Guiping and paid the price of being imprisoned for a few years. Of course, in this time and space, he no longer needs to pay such a high price.

...

However, among these names, one almost attracted all of Zhao Yang's attention.

Qi Tongwei—a main character in "In the Name of the People", Deputy Director of the Handong Province Provincial Public Security Department.
