Chapter Summary
Liu Ning wanted to refuse this task, but the city lord didn't give him a chance. If you still refuse, then I don't know what you're thinking." After the city lord said these words, Zhao Wudi was speechless. You'll definitely get the credit in the end, don't worry." Liu Ning was very open-minded about these things; he knew there was no point in taking them for himself.
Liu Ning lamented his bad luck. Did everyone think there was nothing going on here? Absolutely not. He still had to prepare to go to the Central Base City, and there were all sorts of things to do before that. If he didn't finish them, he'd be in big trouble. Liu Ning wanted to refuse this task, but the city lord didn't give him a chance. After speaking, the lord left the room. No matter what you think, this task was forced upon you. To be honest, Liu Ning also hated the people in the garrison. If they hadn't given him the green light, how could the Fusang Martial Arts School have developed so powerfully? So, if this matter were handed over to someone else to investigate, Liu Ning would probably be quite reluctant. Who knows what they're thinking? If they manage to get away with it again, someone else will suffer.
Zhao Wudi also wanted to say something on Liu Ning's behalf, but unfortunately, he couldn't say anything at the moment. He could only wait until after the meeting to go to the city lord's office. The city lord could refuse others entry, but he couldn't refuse Zhao Wudi entry. The city lord had already heard the news that Zhao Wudi would become the new city lord after this term, and he himself might go to the central base to retire. It was precisely for this reason that the city lord couldn't offend Zhao Wudi. After arriving at the central base, he wouldn't have as many connections. If he wanted to get anything done, his best connection would probably be with Zhao Wudi. Because of this, the city lord had nothing to say. Some things were difficult to explain, so he could only leave it at that.
"I know what you're trying to say, you just feel like your little brother got the short end of the stick. But in this matter, no matter what he's thinking, I have to let him complete this task. You know very well what's going on with the people below. This isn't for my own benefit. I only have a few days left. I'll soon be retiring somewhere. If nothing goes wrong, this important task will be handed over to you. What he's doing isn't for me, it's for you. If you're still not happy about it, then I'll have my youngest son join this investigation. That should be fine, right? It'll be a good thing for both of us. If you still refuse, then I don't know what you're thinking."
After the city lord said these words, Zhao Wudi was speechless. Indeed, as the city lord said, what was the other party seeking in this matter? Was the other party the biggest beneficiary? Of course not. The other party wouldn't be staying here for long. The biggest beneficiary was definitely Zhao Wudi, and Zhao Wudi was very clear about this. Therefore, he could only listen obediently. If he didn't act this way, the situation would be unpredictable. Zhao Wudi understood very well how to proceed. If it was said that the other party was abusing their power for personal gain, then who would abuse their power like that when they even pushed their own son into it? However, Zhao Wudi also knew what the old man was thinking. After he left, his son would have to stay here, and he was trying to find a powerful backer for his son.
The city lord is cunning and shrewd. If he leaves this city, his remaining connections won't be as strong. People fawn over you when you're here, but if you're not, don't expect them to recognize you anymore. It's precisely for this reason that he has to push his son up. He's worked his whole life in this city, building up countless connections and numerous sources of income. He can't let all of that go to waste, so he needs a leader. And this leader needs a powerful backer. When he's not the city lord, he can't provide that backer for his son. Liu Ning, at such a young age, has such abilities and is definitely an excellent candidate. That's why he pushed his son into the position.
Liu Ning was also extremely frustrated. He had only come here to report on the situation, and since they didn't know what was going on, he honestly gave them a report, which was a great help. Who knew that instead of being grateful, they dug a pit for him to fall into? Who would want to do this? If he did it well, there would be no credit, but if he did it poorly, things would get out of hand. So, Liu Ning was extremely reluctant to leave his office when he saw Zhu Tianhua waiting at the door. Zhu Tianhua had received the news very quickly. He had previously worked for Liu Ning, and now that the two of them were cooperating, they were old acquaintances. It's always better to do things with acquaintances than strangers, as everyone knows.
“Brother Liu, I never thought we brothers would cooperate so well. I’ll do whatever you say from now on. You tell me where to start the investigation, and that’s where we’ll start. Leave the errands to me. You just need to say a few words, and we’ll get to the bottom of this. This matter has blown up so much, someone has to step up and take responsibility. Nobody can get away with it, right, Brother Liu?”
Zhu Tianhua is quite adept at handling people. He met with Liu Ning just once and immediately defined the situation. Zhu Tianhua knew very well that this could be the end of the world for those people because the inspector was Liu Ning, who would never pull strings. When Zhu Tianhua came here to investigate, his father had already made it clear to him: get rid of all your crooked ways. If you want to work for Liu Ning in the future, if you want to develop your career with Liu Ning, you must handle problems according to Liu Ning's methods. If you don't even understand this, then you can't work with someone like Liu Ning. This is something everyone understands. It all depends on how you handle it.
"Your old man's planning is spot on. He left all the troublesome tasks to me, and you had to be included as well. You're quite capable, kid. Let's prepare some tea. You'll definitely get the credit in the end, don't worry."
Liu Ning was very open-minded about these things; he knew there was no point in taking them for himself.
