Chapter 356 The sins of parents should not be visited upon them.
You've got some nerve, kid. You've got quite the nerve.
What reason do you want, kid?
Damn, the boss really turns on me in an instant. Sooner or later, I'll be discarded like a used tool.
Qi Tongwei smiled ingratiatingly, "Director Ye, let me explain slowly."
Ye Xingguo's face darkened. "If you don't explain yourself clearly, I won't be polite."
"Stingy boss," Qi Tongwei took a deep breath. "Director Ye, Fuxing herbal tea is a famous brand in eastern Guangdong. This brand was created by Wan Hongda. Now, just sending them to prison for no reason, is that reasonable?"
"When Wan Hongda was there, Fuxing herbal tea was thriving, getting better every day. Workers had high wages and benefits, ultimately benefiting the whole society."
"Look at what's happened now. In less than two years, they've completely ruined a thriving company. And now it's even more outrageous—they've gone six months without paying salaries."
"After the reform and opening up, various foreign brands rushed in and forcefully squeezed out the market share of domestic brands. In a few years, the entire domestic market will be dominated by foreign brands. Are we going to work for foreigners for the rest of our lives?"
"Wan Hongda's practice of allowing workers to hold shares and share in the company's wealth is a true example of the wealthy helping the less fortunate. We cannot let such genuine entrepreneurs feel disheartened."
"Cao Wenxuan is a typical example of someone who tries to get something for nothing. How could he possibly build a real national brand? I think at most he'll just use the Fuxing herbal tea brand to make a fortune on the stock market, play the financial game, and use money to make more money to get rich quick. He has no intention of working hard to build a real business."
"To put it bluntly, some intellectuals and elites in our society are now blindly worshipping foreign things, and this unhealthy trend is definitely not a good thing for the country."
Ye Xingguo went from anger to surprise, and slowly began to think about what Qi Tongwei had said. The fact that he admired foreign things and fawned on foreigners could not be denied. Some of those who went abroad on government scholarships did not come back to build the motherland.
People strive for higher positions and water flows downhill, which seems reasonable. However, for a country, the ultimate competition is for talent. If we cannot retain talent, how can we talk about reviving the great glory of our ancestors?
These words make a lot of sense, but Ye Xingguo alone can't change anything. The wheels of time keep rolling forward, and he believes that the giant ship of the nation can eventually adjust to the right direction after some mistakes.
"Let me look into Wan Hongda's case. Without my orders, you absolutely cannot do anything rash, understand?"
Qi Tongwei also understood that the leader's considerations were not as simple as the truth; in fact, they were all for the sake of the struggle.
"Yes, Director Ye."
Ye Xingguo knew that young people were impatient and wanted to correct their mistakes immediately. Passion was a good thing, but one could not succeed in officialdom on passion alone. Compromise and waiting were also a kind of wisdom.
After seeing Ye Xingguo off, Qi Tongwei continued to interrogate Chen Wenru, but Chen Wenru was now discouraged and felt drowsy and wanted to sleep.
Since that was the case, Qi Tongwei didn't force her. He lit a desk lamp to keep Chen Wenru company while she stayed up late, while he himself slept soundly in his office.
Chenjiazhai.
The Chen brothers gathered at Chen Wenxiong's house to discuss how to exonerate their sister, Chen Wenru. Their faces were filled with barely concealed anger, all because of the harm caused to them by that bastard Qi Tongwei.
Chen Wenxiong spoke to the provincial leaders, and if it weren't for Ye Xingguo behind Qi Tongwei, this matter wouldn't have been a problem at all.
"Third brother, what do you say?"
Chen Wenjie was furious. It was unbelievable that a mayor like him could be openly contradicted by a lowly policeman.
"Brother, this matter is very troublesome. In my opinion, we should let the provincial procuratorate get involved in advance; otherwise, we will be in a very passive position."
The provincial leaders also said that the matter was about group drug use and group sex, and it was not so easy to handle, especially since Ye Xingguo had been relentlessly pursuing the case.
"Fourth brother, what's your opinion?"
Chen Wenbo used to think his procuratorate was so powerful, but now that bastard Qi Tongwei said the provincial and municipal procuratorates couldn't handle it, he immediately shut up. He was so angry that a few strands of his hair turned white.
"Big brother, I agree with third brother's opinion, but we don't need to worry too much. Once the case reaches the procuratorate, we can send it back to that bastard Qi Tongwei for further investigation again and again. If all else fails, we can just keep dragging it out."
"Regarding the confession, we can counter-accuse that bastard of framing us, using torture to extract a confession—anything to muddy the waters."
The Chen brothers haven't met Chen Wenru yet, and they don't know that bastard Qi Tongwei took the photos. Qi Tongwei deliberately concealed this information, waiting to be proven wrong. They might accidentally outsmart themselves.
Chen Wenxiong agreed with Chen Wenbo's approach, saying that once the storm has passed, there will be more and more room for maneuver.
Everyone has weaknesses, and Ye Xingguo is certainly no exception. It's not impossible that they might compromise at that point.
"The fourth brother's opinion can be considered as an alternative; the fifth brother should also speak up."
Chen Wensheng had long been unable to hold back. The culprit was that bastard Qi Tongwei. He had just killed his nephew and now he had captured his sister. Shouldn't he be skinned alive and tortured?
"Big brother, all I want to know right now is when we can kill that bastard."
Chen Wenxiong dreamed of killing Qi Tongwei, but that bastard was too difficult to kill.
"Fifth brother, let's not create any unnecessary trouble at this critical juncture."
Chen Wensheng couldn't swallow this insult. "Brother, I've already sent men to that bastard's hometown. Damn it, I refuse to believe he sprang from a rock!"
If we can really capture Qi Tongwei's parents, siblings, and brothers and sisters, and force him to comply and leave eastern Guangdong, that would be a good move.
"Fifth brother, I hope you won't kill anyone lightly. Killing your parents would be a very serious matter."
Chen Wenjie was very cautious. In his opinion, killing was something only desperate people did, and he would never use this method in political struggles. After all, if he failed, he would face the death penalty. Even if he failed in a political struggle, he would at most go to jail, and he would never exterminate his descendants.
It's best to leave yourself an out, so you can meet again in the future.
Chen Wensheng would not let Qi Tongwei off so easily. His nephew was killed by that bastard, so he should at least exchange two lives for one.
"Third Brother, you're too merciful. Zhihu's body is still lying in the basement, barely cold. What's the point of threatening that bastard? I'll make him taste the pain of losing a loved one."
If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm. A man has to be tough on himself.
Chen Wenxiong agreed with Chen Wensheng's approach. If that bastard Qi Tongwei lost a family member, he would definitely back down. What fairness and justice, what serving the people, no matter how nice the words are, are not as good as letting your own family member live, because when a person dies, everything is gone.
Even if Qi Tongwei became a high-ranking official, without his parents' blessings, it would still be an endless regret in his life.
For Li Tang, Qi Tongwei's parents didn't seem that important, and of course, he didn't want Bo Ren to die because of him, even if he didn't kill Bo Ren.
"Fifth brother, don't kill indiscriminately. Let that bastard lose his father or mother as a warning, but make sure it's done cleanly."
