Section 6: Leveraging External Support

Hehe, Damin, how is your allocation issue going? Is joining Factory 195 to your liking? You can be with your girlfriend again. When will you come to Beijing? I will take you out for a good stroll

Really? Lu Weimin also smiled, sensing that Cao Lang did not care much about such matters. Perhaps what is a huge issue down below is, in the eyes of some, merely trivial. It seems that my long-distance call was not in vain

Lu Weimin sighed softly. Gu Mingliang might step in to exert influence, but the presence of personnel from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection could also make him somewhat cautious. Therefore, the extent of his influence is worth considering. Moreover, some of Zhen Jingcai's lifestyle issues are unlikely to escape the notice of this old fox.

However, if there is no external intervention, Lu Weimin can be certain that history will continue along its original trajectory. Even if he were to find that person from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to disclose everything he knows, it would not change much.

Lu Weimin felt a slight stir in his heart, "Why do you say that? Is there something wrong?"

It is likely not feasible. For Gu Mingliang, whether or not Uncle Zhen has any issues and what the final outcome is will not have a significant impact on him. You must have noticed his attitude on hetushu.com, right? He is cautious and self-protective; while he speaks quite assertively, he is actually quite slippery and leaves no room for error. He manages to cover both the substance and the appearance, but what will happen to Uncle Zhen being left in that situation? Waiting idly is tantamount to waiting for death!

"Damin, tell me the truth, is my dad really unable to get through this hurdle?" After a long while, Zhen Jie, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, finally uttered this sentence softly.

Hi, my allocation has changed a bit, but it's nothing serious. By the way, I hope you can help with what I mentioned earlier and see if there's any way to address it. Lu Weimin steered the conversation back.

"It's fine, nothing too serious. With your personality, you can guarantee it; what major issue could there be? Just wait a moment, my mother is at home, I'll talk to her. Don't hang up the phone." On the other end, Cao Lang seemed to be asking the nanny who had just answered the call to fetch his mother.

What should we do now? Should we just go home and wait for the result? Zhen Jie was not aware that she had subconsciously regarded this man before her as her only support

"Damin, you must have a way." Zhenjie also did not know where this inexplicable sense of trust came from, and she said to the book, "I believe you definitely have a solution"

Zhen Jie said, until the last moment, no one can be certain. We all trust Uncle Zhen regarding the issue of bribery, but what about others?" Lu Weimin exhaled and said, "I am just afraid that some people, unable to find any incriminating evidence, will let this spread and will stop at nothing to ruin Uncle Zhen. No gold is without blemish, and no person is perfect. Uncle Zhen has worked in the factory for so many years; it is inevitable that he has made some mistakes. If someone seizes on that and magnifies it under a microscope, then it becomes difficult to say what will happen.

Cao Lang's parents firmly insisted on bringing him back to the country, and it was not until that time that Lu Weimin, who had been in contact with Cao Lang, learned that Cao Lang's mother worked at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection

However, Cao Lang has a rather rebellious personality and is quite averse to using his family background as a point of reference, which is why he chose to give up studying at a university in Beijing and specifically went to study at a university in Lingnan

Zhen Jiexin was in a state of turmoil. She certainly understood the implications of Lu Weimin's words. Usually, she was very sensitive about anyone mentioning such things in her presence; if anyone hinted at it, she would immediately lose her temper. However, now she could not afford to care much, especially since Lu Weimin's remarks were quite subtle.

However, after the 9/11 incident, Cao Lang did not hesitate to throw himself into the battlefield of Afghanistan, actively engaging in the most dangerous areas of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran.

Zhen Jie looked at Lu Weimin dialing this long-distance call with some curiosity. The area code should be for Beijing, and Lu Weimin spoke in Mandarin with a Changxi accent, even mixing in some Cantonese.

Zhen Jie, you really have confidence in me. If I had a way, would I still be sent back to my hometown in Nantang in disgrace?" Lu Weimin chuckled self-deprecatingly, "But one must at least try to find out.

During a boating outing at a reservoir, Cao Lang accidentally fell into the water. Cao Lang, who is 1.8 meters tall and weighs over 180 pounds, nearly exhausted Lu Weimin's strength as he struggled to drag him to the shore. In his panic, Cao Lang clung tightly to Lu Weimin, almost dragging him down as well

Cao Lang grew up in the north and cannot swim, but not being able to swim in Lingnan is truly a hardship. During university, it is inevitable to take advantage of Sundays to go out and have fun

I cannot quite articulate it, but it feels as though you have transformed into a different person. Recently, I noticed you seemed quite despondent, and I even asked Zhenni to comfort you and encourage you not to be disheartened by the setbacks from this graduation assignment. However, today, when I saw you in front of Uncle Gu, you appeared to be like a debater, assertive and aggressive. Did you not notice Uncle Gu's expression?" Zhenjie brushed aside her disheveled hair, "I believe Uncle Gu was quite moved by your words; perhaps he has indeed been somewhat careless.

In the face of harsh realities, it is not enough for anyone to simply utter a few grand statements to change existing rules. To alter the rules, one must rely on strength; at least, this is the case for now

The life-saving grace allowed the relationship between Cao Lang and Lu Weimin to be redefined, and only then did their relationship truly become close. It was at this point that Lu Weimin vaguely realized that Cao Lang's parents were likely working in central government ministries, and that his mother's family was probably among the founding figures of the Republic.

However, prior to that swimming incident, Cao Lang and Lu Weimin were merely in a relatively close relationship.

Lu Weimin learned that Cao Lang's mother had been working at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for many years. By that time, Cao Lang had already gone to Yugoslavia to work as a war correspondent for Xinhua News Agency. When the United States bombed the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia, Cao Lang was fortunate not to be in the embassy, but had gone to Montenegro

Take out the small notebook with the contact number, and Lu Weimin felt a moment of hesitation in his heart. And - picture - book

Will he be concerned that if he openly supports Zhen Jingcai too much, and ultimately issues related to Zhen Jingcai are brought to light, it might also affect the trust that those above him have in him

Cao Lang has always been low-key and mysterious at school, rarely interacting with classmates. Even the other two people in his dormitory maintain only a casual classmate relationship with him. Lu Weimin, known for his generous and open personality, actually shares a good rapport with Cao Lang.

After Lu Weimin detailed the situation over the phone, Cao Lang on the other end began to laugh, "Damin, you are truly fortunate. Could it be that you know my mother works at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection? What a coincidence?"

Cao Lang was my closest classmate during university, but now that we have just graduated, I am unsure if it is appropriate to trouble him.

Lu Weimin glanced at his watch; it was already noon, 12:00. He rode his bicycle with Zhen Jie out of the factory area, heading straight for the post office.

"He is not careless; he is overly confident." Lu Weimin smiled faintly. This Phoenix 28-inch bicycle was well-maintained by his father, making it quite light and smooth to ride, with a brisk wind rushing by as he pedaled.

"Damin, I feel like you've become a different person," Zhenjie couldn't help but say while sitting on the back seat of the bicycle
