Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Secretary Zhang, I'll toast to you. To be honest, I think you're the only one in the world who has the courage to do such an earth-shaking thing." Lu Xingye said with a look of admiration for Zhang Pingshu.

"Haha, I don't deserve to be called a world-shattering person, but I really don't understand why he can bully my son just by relying on his family background?" Zhang Pingshu was in a good mood. He came to Kyoto to complain, with the mentality of dying together. He didn't dare to think that even if he got a bargain in Kyoto, what would happen when he returned? With the power of the Qin family, he was afraid that he would not get any good results. But he never expected that the Lu family would extend an olive branch to him at this time and express their support for him. Even Lu Xingye, the core figure of the third generation of the Lu family, met him in person and expressed his support for him. If Zhang Pingshu was willing, he could consider transferring this person to the central government to work within the Lu family's sphere of influence. To put it bluntly, this meant protecting him.

Although he had offended the Qin family, he unexpectedly got the support of the Lu family. This was something Zhang Pingshu had never expected. Naturally, he was very happy about this.

"Secretary Zhang said it well. This is a country of the people, a socialist country. Democracy is what matters. As the saying goes, a prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as a commoner. Some people cannot feel privileged just because they are born into a good family." Lu Xingye also spoke righteously, but turned around and softened his tone. "But Secretary Zhang, are the evidences in your hands conclusive? You have to know that if you are not 100% sure of dealing with such a person, the outcome of the matter may very likely go in another direction. If that happens, it will be really bad."

"Haha, please rest assured, Young Master Lu. Since I dare to come to Kyoto to file a complaint, I have prepared everything. Don't worry." Uncle Zhang Ping said confidently. Yes, he had already made preparations for this matter. It was all his son's credit. His son was afraid of Qin Tian's revenge and prepared everything, but he didn't expect that he would still retaliate against him. Now that they have started to hurt people, it is time to bring out the evidence.

After chatting with Lu Xingye, Zhang Pingshu returned to the Shaanxi-Qin Province office in Kyoto. As soon as he entered the gate, someone came up to him and said, "You are Comrade Zhang Pingshu, right?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Seeing that he didn't know the person in front of him, Uncle Zhang Ping asked with some confusion.

"Well, someone wants to see you, please come with me." The man did not respond, but gave an order directly to Zhang Pingshu. Then four strong men appeared behind him. It was obvious that you had to go with me whether you wanted to or not.

Uncle Zhang Ping looked at the situation in front of him. He had no choice but to listen to the other party, because none of the staff of the Beijing Office saw him, which was enough to prove that the other party was very powerful. Thinking that nothing would happen in Kyoto, he nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the way."

He followed a few people out of the Beijing Office, got into an Audi car, and then turned around and came to a small alley. In a small courtyard, he met Ren Tianfang, the director of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

"Haha, Secretary Zhang is here, please come in." As soon as he saw Uncle Zhang Ping, Ren Tianfang came over with a big laugh.

"It's Director Ren. Oh, I didn't expect you would invite me here in this way." Uncle Zhang Ping agreed while not forgetting to mock Ren Tianfang.

If it were normal times, he would not dare to say such words. Ren Tianfang was one of the secretaries of the Secretariat, and his status was second only to that of the Central Political Bureau, so he was also a leader. But because he had already started to sue Qin Tian, ​​it meant that he and anyone related to the Qin family were irreconcilable, so there was no need for him to get close to the other party.

Ren Tianfang had already sensed the change in Uncle Zhang Ping, so he smiled. He felt that today's conversation with him would not be so smooth. "Come on, Secretary Zhang, please take a seat. This is an extraordinary period, and I have no choice but to invite you here. Please understand."

"I don't deserve your consideration. Director Ren, please tell me what you want to say. I'm listening attentively." Uncle Zhang Ping sat down on the chair, thinking that since it has come, he should make the best of it. Since it has come to this, it's better to listen to what the other party has to say. If it doesn't go as he wishes, he can just ignore it.

Next, Ren Tianfang also sat down, and with a wave of his hand, all the followers withdrew. When they were alone, Ren Tianfang spoke, "Secretary Zhang, now there are only two of us. See if there is anything we can't discuss. Don't worry, if you have any requests or conditions, just mention them, and I will consider them carefully."

Ren Tianfang came here today with a mission. Although this private conversation was not in accordance with the procedure, Qin Tian was the son of the chief. What was wrong with him breaking the law for the chief? So Ren Tianfang came to see Zhang Pingshu in private, hoping to solve the matter in his own way.

Ren Tianfang showed his sincerity, and Zhang Pingshu could also feel it. If people had this attitude before, he would have considered it carefully, but now that he has the support of the Lu family, he naturally has a plan in mind and is not afraid of anything. In fact, this is also the cleverness of Lu Xingye. The reason why he jumped out so early was to cheer Zhang Pingshu up. He was afraid that if he showed up too late, people would lose their backbone and be subdued by the power of the Qin family. Now it seems that his appearance still played a big role.

"Oh? What does Director Ren mean? I don't understand. You asked me to put forward conditions and requirements, but what should I put forward? What does Director Ren mean by this?" Uncle Zhang Ping asked with a confused look on his face.

Ren Tianfang was able to talk to Uncle Zhang Ping, which meant that he thought he was a smart man. He originally thought that as long as he mentioned this matter, the other party would understand and then follow his words to find a way out. As long as he gave the right and sufficient chips, the problem could be solved. But he never expected that Uncle Zhang Ping would pretend to be confused with him. If that was the case, the problem would be difficult to solve. If the other party didn't take the initiative to bring it up, he couldn't just say it directly. It was not in line with the principle to do this matter by himself. How could he open his mouth again?

But Ren Tianfang couldn't just give up. For the sake of the chief's son, he still had to make some efforts. "Secretary Zhang, do you really not understand what I mean? I would like to ask you to think about it carefully. If the matter really gets out of hand, it will be bad for everyone."

"Haha, Director Ren, I've said before, I don't understand what you mean, what are you asking me to consider?" Zhang Pingshu relied on the support of the Lu family, and now he no longer took Ren Tian seriously. Of course, he knew in his heart that relying on the big tree of the Qin family was naturally better than relying on the Lu family, but the key problem was that he had already offended the son of the Qin family, so how could he be truly kind to him? For this reason, he had no choice but to choose the Lu family.

Uncle Zhang Ping looked like he didn't want to talk, which made Ren Tianfang a little helpless. "Well, since Secretary Zhang thinks there's nothing to talk about, let's stop here today. But if you think of anything, feel free to call me. I'm always here for you."

In the end, Ren Tianfang still left Uncle Zhang Ping a glimmer of hope, and it could be said that he also left a glimmer of hope for himself.

"Okay, okay." Uncle Zhang Ping nodded. Even if the Lu family was willing to support him, he didn't want to offend a big shot like Ren Tianfang. It would not do him any good.

After the unpleasant conversation with Zhang Pingshu, Ren Tianfang returned to Zhongnanhai and met with Comrade Qin Xianghua in his office. Qin Xianghua saw that Ren Tianfang was in a bad mood and his face was not very good, so he frowned and asked, "Did you talk with Comrade Zhang Pingshu?"

"Commander, how did you know?" Ren Tianfang was stunned when he heard the commander's question. How could the commander know such a thing so quickly?

"You don't have to think too much. I just felt it. I saw all my guards taken away by you, and I thought you must be going to do something, and this matter must be related to me. What else could there be except the matter of Uncle Zhang Ping?" Qin Xianghua is worthy of being the General Secretary. He can infer a lot of things from small things. It can be said that his wisdom is indeed high.

The chief had already made up his mind, so Ren Tianfang had nothing to explain. "Yes, chief, I did go there. I thought I was giving Zhang Pingshu enough face by talking to him, but I didn't expect him to not buy it at all and even pretend to be confused. It seems that he must have made up his mind to fight. Also, there must be other people in Kyoto supporting him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do it even if he had the guts."

Ren Tianfang was also a smart man, and he could figure out some things quickly. Thinking about how strong Uncle Zhang Ping's attitude was tonight, Ren Tianfang guessed that there must be someone supporting Uncle Zhang Ping, otherwise he wouldn't have the confidence to pretend to be confused.

"Well, that's enough. I know about this matter. Let's ignore it for now and see how it develops. I also want to see what other people think." Qin Xianghua expressed his opinion. Before he could see clearly what his opponent was going to do, he planned to use static to control dynamic. Only when the opponent's attitude was fully revealed could he make a move. Otherwise, any move he made during this period of confusion could be a bad move.
