Chapter 1501 The Fuse

The fuse of the matter, if we really have to investigate it seriously, it can really be counted on Ye Tiannan.

After Ye Tiannan arrived in Lu City, he lived in the provincial party committee guesthouse and was in a long-term residence. He didn't know what he planned. As a Sanwu idle man without an official, no position or a legitimate job, he did not have the awareness of idle man's wry smile at all, but instead seemed to be proud again in Lu City.

It is spring in Lu City now, and Ye Tiannan seems to be trying to use the spring breeze of Lu City to dispel his downfall and loss when he retreats to the end.

First, I met Zhou Hongji.

But overall, Ye Tiannan's itinerary in Lu City was relatively hidden, and he deliberately kept a low profile, as if he was a taboo to make Xia want to know his arrival. But there is no airtight wall in the world, and his every move still fell into the eyes of those who are interested.

Moreover, for some reason, this intriguing person carefully and patiently informed Xia Xiang of all the whereabouts of Ye Tiannan through anonymous phone calls.

Of course, those who are interested only know one thing, not the other, only know the movements of Ye Tiannan on the surface, not know what Ye Tiannan said or did.

Through his eyes, Ye Tiannan's activities were conveyed to Xia Xiang's ears truthfully. In Xia Xiang's mind, he clearly outlined what Ye Tiannan did in Lu City. He observed his actions and understood his intentions. Xia Xiang had a scheming in his mind what Ye Tiannan wanted to achieve in Lu City.

Ye Tiannan is indeed a military advisor, not a tourist.

...

Ye Tiannan could also guess that Xia Xiang must have known his arrival. Lu City said that it is big and small, and he is a celebrity after all, so it is impossible to hide it from everyone's eyes. Therefore, his intention to live in the provincial party committee guesthouse is also very obvious, and what he wants is the effect of half-covering and half-exposed.

To be honest, he was not worried that Xia wanted to know, because since he dared to come, he would definitely not be afraid of meeting Xia Xiang face to face... Of course, it would be better not to meet without meeting.

Here comes to Shandong City, Ye Tiannan has taken on a major mission and is entrusted by others to come and kill the possible situations in the bud.

That's right, there's only a little bit of a turbulent salt industry incident.

It would be okay if it was someone else, but it was precisely because Xia Xiangren was in Qisheng and had the intention of interfering in the inside story of the salt industry that he immediately made the people behind the scenes nervous and immediately instructed Ye Tiannan to come to Shandong City to deal with it, and must keep the situation within a controllable range.

The meeting between Ye Tiannan and Zhou Hongji and Sun Ximin is the first step, and the second step is that he has a more important mission.

Of course, the mission of the second step depends on the results of the first step.

The meeting with Zhou Hongji was quite smooth. Ye Tiannan and Zhou Hongji had known each other for a long time. Although they were not like-minded, they were somewhat intimate because of their common interests.

Ye Tiannan appreciates Zhou Hongji, and Zhou Hongji admires Ye Tiannan very much.

Zhou Hongji is arrogant, but he is not arrogant. Some people are also amazing people in his eyes, such as Xia Xiang and Ye Tiannan.

Zhou Hongji held a banquet at Hairun International to entertain Ye Tiannan.

There is a big show, but not many people, only Zhou Hongji and Ye Tiannan. After all, today's talk involves private content, so outsiders should not be present.

Ye Tiannan is used to eating Hunan cuisine and is not used to Shandong cuisine that likes to put on green onions and garlic. He only took a few bites and stopped chopsticks. Anyway, the focus is not on eating, but on conversation.

"Hongji, how is the first impression of Xia Xiang?" Ye Tiannan still didn't call Zhou Hongji's position in private to show his affection, but in fact he felt a little disappointed.

Zhou Hongji smiled and said, "Young, it's good to be young." He wiped his hands and put down his chopsticks. "The taste of Shandong cuisine is a bit heavy. Personally, I feel that it's not as delicious as that of Beijing cuisine."

"One place of water and soil nourishes the other people. Shandong cuisine has more salt, green onions, and many garlics. Otherwise, why do people with Qishuang have a bad temper? It turns out that they eat too much garlic." Ye Tiannan actually did not comment on Qishuang people, but took advantage of the issue.

"I don't think Qi Sheng people have a bad temper, they just think they have a straightforward temper. It is probably because of the climate, the temperate continental monsoon climate is very different from the climate in the capital." Zhou Hongji knew Ye Tiannan's purpose, and he and Ye Tiannan were the same people, but to be fair, although they were the same, they were not completely the same.

It's not a faction after all.

"The Prime Minister is very concerned about the situation in Qisheng and your growth." Ye Tiannan knew that there was no need to go around, Zhou Hongji was a smart person. "The Prime Minister does not want Xia Xiang to make trouble in Qisheng again. Some time ago, in the capital, the Prime Minister specially met Xia Xiang and expressed his sincere hope for him. Unfortunately, Xia Xiang was young and did not keep the Prime Minister's words in his heart."

The meeting Ye Tiannan refers to was an unexpected encounter with Xia Xiang in Lao Gu's house. Of course, that meeting did not leave a deep impression on Xia Xiang.

"Thank you for your concern for me." The necessary respectful attitude must be revealed. Zhou Hongji smiled, "Xia Xiang has only been in Qi Province for two days, and Brother Tiannan has arrived in a hurry. Is it a bit of a big deal?"

Ye Tiannan shook his head and said, "You have worked with Xia Xiang for a short time and don't understand Xia Xiang's scheming and concise side. Don't be confused by his superficial youth. Xia Xiang is a veteran in the officialdom."

Zhou Hongji didn't say anything, picked up the chopsticks again, nodding slightly while eating, as if he agreed, but seemed to be unanimous.

Ye Tiannan smiled implicitly. He saw Zhou Hongji's impatientness, but after laughing, he still felt a little regretful. Zhou Hongji was a few years older than Xia Xiang. In fact, in terms of scheming and scheming, he was still not as good as Xia Xiang. How could he compete with Xia Xiang? He still needed to mature further.

Maturity requires not only experience and wisdom, but also patience.

What Zhou Hongji lacks is patience.

"Hongji, I just said it straightforwardly. The Prime Minister is concerned about the major salt industry plan." Ye Tiannan simply pointed out that he didn't want to point it out, but it seemed that if he didn't say it, it seemed that Zhou Hongji could not fully understand his intentions, which made him very depressed. Why was it so difficult to talk to his own people? "Lu Chengliang's affairs are really a big deal."

"A little Lu Chengliang cannot cause storms, Brother Tiannan!" Zhou Hongji waved his hand with an indifferent expression on his face, "Don't worry, Qi Sheng has me and Governor Sun, even Xia Xiang can't cause storms. Adding Li Dingshan is useless."

"Qi Province, and Qiu Renli." Ye Tiannan reminded him.

"There are He Jianghai in Qi Province." Zhou Hongji immediately responded, "The Peninsula Gang headed by He Jianghai can completely restrain Qiu Renli's energy."

Ye Tiannan disagreed, but he nodded frequently to express his approval of Zhou Hongji, but he still said what he should say: "The local forces in Qi Province are not just one Peninsula Gang, and even the Peninsula Gang are not a monolithic part. You must be careful of Xia Li."

"We must not only be careful about Xia Li, but also beware of Li Rongsheng." Zhou Hongji smiled confidently, "Brother Tiannan is not simple. He is not in Qi Province. He has clearly divided the power of Qi Province."

Ming praised Ye Tiannan, but in fact he was also boasting. The meaning of the words was that he had a deep understanding of Qi Sheng, and it was not a dark look on his eyes.

Ye Tiannan knew that his crushing defeat in Hunan Province had a fatal negative impact on his image. Zhou Hongji was polite to him on the surface, but in fact, he still had a slight contempt in his words. He did not take his repeated reminders to him seriously, and he also showed confidence in everything in control.

If you underestimate the enemy so much, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later in Xia Xiang's hands.

If it weren't for the salt industry, Ye Tiannan would not be patient to deal with Zhou Hongji, but the Prime Minister's entrustment made him shoulder the heavy responsibility and he had to do his best.

Anyway, he has done everything he should do, so he will stay in Lu City for another week.

The talks with Zhou Hongji cannot be said to have nothing to do, but they have achieved little results. Zhou Hongji is extremely wise and has a high vision. Ye Tiannan will not be as knowledgeable as him. Officials who have been growing up in the capital's ministries and commissions have some shortcomings in this regard. Once they leave the capital, they realize that the capital is deep and the local area is even more like a dragon's and tiger's den.

However, the meeting with Sun Ximin also achieved the expected results.

Sun Ximin did not invite Ye Tiannan to dinner, but came to Ye Tiannan's room in person and had an in-depth conversation with him.

Sun Ximin is more stable than Zhou Hongji. He also knows that Ye Tiannan is of great significance to come to Shandong. He also knows who Ye Tiannan represents. He made three promises to Ye Tiannan. First, the annual output value of the salt-making industry in Qi Province exceeds 10 billion yuan, which is a very important industry in Qi Province. No one is allowed to affect the image of Qi Province's salt-producing province for any reason. Second, resolutely implement the spirit of the Prime Minister's instructions and effectively manage the salt industry. Third, if some individuals bring potential threats to Qi Province's salt industry, they will be dismissed from their posts and investigated, and the worst will be transferred to judicial authorities for handling. They will never tolerate them.

Sun Ximin is much more experienced than Zhou Hongji. At least he speaks very well and does not miss it. As for whether Sun Ximin can firmly implement the above three points, or whether he can say what he is in Qi Province, it is a different matter.

Despite Sun Ximin's solemn promise and Zhou Hongji's attitude was correct and agreed well, Ye Tiannan was still not relieved, so he stayed at ease and decided to wait for another week.

It really made him wait for the opportunity - Zhou Hongji only focused on Li Dingshan, and Sun Ximin only focused on Xia Xiang's eyes, but Ye Tiannan, who knew Xia Xiang's skills, always only focused his eyes on Lu Chengliang.

Three days later, he discovered something abnormal. Lu Chengliang quietly left Lu City and headed straight for Wuyue City, which is a salt-producing city in Qi Province!

It would be fine if Sun Ximin didn't notice Lu Chengliang's departure, but Zhou Hongji knew nothing, which disappointed Ye Tiannan. If it weren't for his trip to Lu Chengliang's Five Mountains, Lu Chengliang would have been able to hide his promise and succeed in one fell swoop.

I wanted to secretly inform Sun Ximin or Zhou Hongji, but later I thought, Ye Tiannan changed his strategy. If he had no means of doing the opposite, he would not be Ye Tiannan.

Ye Tiannan revealed the news to He Jianghai through a secret channel.

He Jianghai took action as soon as he received the news...
