In the Name of People
Episode 33
Our province is flatland!
Besides, not all good officials,
must be promoted to big officials!
When comrade Shaoqi spoke with nightman Shi Chuanxiang, (Liu Shaoqi, one of PRC's founding fathers)
he said: I'm the prime minister, you empty privies.
We both serve the people!
I disagree with that!
Me too, secretary Gao!
Stop using high-flown words!
I'm not finished.
I kindly ask you two:
what kind of official was comrade Lei Feng?
What rank?
He was just a PLA soldier, corporal of truck squad.
But the entire party and country look up to him!
Even until today,
he's our model citizen, isn't he?
Secretary Yuliang, I think you pulled a straw-man!
We are discussing the problems in our staff appointment,
what lessons we must learn.
Not who gets the medal of Lei Feng,
or the title of model citizen!
That's right, big professors are good at pettifogging!
You demand Yi Xuexi to be a selfless Lei Feng,
but your student Qi Tongwei,
you keep recommending him to us as deputy-governor!
Who do you try to convince?
This Qi Tongwei comrade,
have strong reactions from the people.
Besides, the opinions on him are mixed.
Therefore,
I don't think he can become a deputy-provincial official!
But Yi Xuexi with ample regional leadership experience,
should've been promoted long ago!
Gao Yuliang finally realized,
he turned dialectic into sophism,
and angered the crowd.
What's wrong today?
But as he thinks again, he doesn't feel it's his fault,
instead, it's "power effect".
Because he's not 1st-in-command, his power,
is not big enough!
Comrade Yuliang, you got a good point,
but when used at the wrong place, you can't convince people!
Let's all speak up,
and dissect this question completely!
That bridge-loan,
was lobbied by Gao Xiaoqin's finance manager, Liu Qingzhu.
The money was from Handon Oil & Gas Group.
This oil company is too rich!
With billions parked in the bank for years,
They just have to make some bridge-loans,
to make millions of profit!
So you mean this deal is good for everybody?
Sure, triple win!
You see, if I use bridge-loan to get bank loan,
I skip the points-back for bank loans!
Ouyang Jing and her bank,
they took a small share of the bridge-interest.
The Oil & Gas Group took most of the bridge-interest!
It's a triple-win deal!
It doesn't hurt the country! - You really think so?
The City Bank cut your loan,
and entrapped Handong Oil & Gas!
They set the trap themselves!
The oil company's money is Shanshui Group's money!
Just as we expected!
Another organized crime, landslide corruption!
Aside from City Bank,
Handong Oil & Gas can't possibly be clean!
Chief Hou,
already sent division 2 to station at the City Bank!
I think Handong Oil & Gas has serious issues,
I authorize an investigation!
Proc. director, this way...
we will be understaffed!
The procuratorate will help!
Get some people from the municipal procuratorates!
I find all your inputs inspiring!
Regarding staff appointment,
we've always had strict rules and regulations.
But for a long time, they haven't been followed.
Why?
Because during certain periods in Handong,
the organization commission was no longer the party's.
In fact,
or to some extent,
it became the organization commission of a 1st-in-command!
The words of Sha Ruijin are heavy.
They also have a clear direction.
He's almost about to mention Zhao Lichun's name.
Zhao Lichun,
has spent almost 20 years as provincial governor and chief.
Isn't it exactly that "for a long time"?
What else could be "certain periods"?
We can't equate the party to any individual!
We are the party's officials,
not somebody's house servant!
Do such house servants exist?
I think they do!
Some officials believe in social circles,
they keep pondering,
about finding connections and backdoors.
Who works for who, who promoted who?
Who must I approach and build connections with?
Comrades...
At this rate, bad things will happen someday!
Some cases take down a chain of officials!
When the carrot gets pulled up, the dirt follows!
The primary reason is:
in reality, personal dependences have been established!
Today,
the organization and disciplinary commissions,
followed the party's criteria for selecting officials.
After extensive inspection,
they discovered,
Yi Xuexi and other officials with both ability and integrity!
My old Liu left in the afternoon.
That evening, he died in the Dishui cave of Mt. Yantai!
I was also perplexed, but I didn't dare to tell!
I also didn't dare to ask!
Just because Gao Xiaoqin is secretary Gao's niece?
Gao Xiaoqin even visited me on behalf of secretary Gao!
Secretary Gao doesn't have a niece like Gao Xiaoqin!
But... my old Liu saw it himself,
secretary Gao Yuliang playing golf at Shanshui Manor!
He also saw secretary Gao and Gao Xiaoqin,
singing Beijing opera, "Shajiabang" together!
Does this prove Gao Xiaoqin is secretary Gao's niece?
Right, why can't secretary Gao sing and play golf?
But Gao Xiaoqin really visited me on behalf of secretary Gao!
BTW, Shanshui Group also has,
a photo of Gao Xiaoqin and secretary Gao together!
it's hanged in their office building!
A common trick of businessmen!
I'm afraid it's not that common!
What do you think, between Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Yuliang,
how are they really related?
Mentor Gao doesn't have a niece called Gao Xiaoqin!
This I know for sure!
You sure? Have you investigated?
I have!
If they are not relatives...
Could there be something else?
That I don't know!
After setting the agenda,
officials are the decisive factors.
What kind of officials we use,
decide what outcome we get.
If you only use your own and form factions,
or use corrupt officials,
then the outcome won't be good!
The people will curse at you,
and the government too!
Therefore regarding staff appointment,
we must perform strict controls!
Comrade Chunlin and Guofu,
a few days ago, they both recommended Yi Xuexi to me.
It caught my attention.
During this inspection in Luezhou, I specifically visited Yi Xuexi!
I visited his home,
talked to his wife.
His wife is still a homemaker!
The tea we drink today,
is picked by his wife from the mountains.
If you like it,
you can buy some and help her.
After talking and seeing, I felt assured.
Using officials like him, I can feel safe!
Chief Ruijin has a rigorous work style,
he set us a good example!
Comrade Yi Xuexi is lucky, having met his "Bo Le"! (Chinese idiom for getting recognition)
Comrade Dakang,
why don't you become his "Bo Le"?
Yi Xuexi was your team leader once.
He took the fall for you too.
You must know him very well!
But why didn't you actively recommend him?
Chief Sha, ever since that time...
I didn't have any professional overlap with Yi Xuexi!
But...
You've been a standing prov. committee member for 4 years!
Have you never recommended him? - Yes...
It won't help even if he did!
18 years ago, when I was munic. secretary of Lincheng,
I already recommended Yi Xuexi as deputy mayor!
But Zhao Lichun handily rejected us!
Old Qian,
with comrade Ruijin here, it's different now!
Therefore secretary Dakang...
Chief Ruijin brought up something that deserves your reflection!
Comrade Dakang,
your issue is:
you value your political feathers too much!
Protecting yourself is fine,
but if it comes at the price of abandoning principles,
then you're being irresponsible to your comrades!
Chief Sha,
I heartily accept your criticism!
Wei Caixia,
I can be clear about this:
we suspect that because of Liu Qingzhu made these calls,
he got silenced and murdered!
Do you know that account book he mentioned?
I don't know about any book...
But I know he was very afraid, even crazy!
Crazy?
When was this?
After that mayor who oversaw infrastructure ran away!
By that mayor, you mean Ding Yizhen?
Yeah, that's him, Ding Yizhen!
After Ding escaped...
My old Liu acted like he got possessed!
He kept staring all day, and mumbled:
Gao Xiaoqin's Shanshui Group will end up badly someday!
That's right!
Ding Yizhen's escape lighted the fuse!
Liu Qingzhu even suspect that Ding was silenced by Shanshui!
What does this mean?
It means Gao Xiaoqin's Shanshui Group...
is very evil!
Our achievements today have the blood of the old generations,
and the tears of the revolutionaries!
Don't let the honest ones always suffer,
don't let them both bleed and weep!
Therefore,
I recommend comrade Yi Xuexi,
as the 1st district official to receive provincial commendation!
After that, I suggest we promote him,
to become Luezhou deputy munic. secretary and acting mayor!
But of course,
the local congress must discuss and approve,
before public announcement!
During that time, did Liu Qingzhu...
mention anything, or anybody?
He spoke about making transactions.
He said he made them personally,
there was no middleman.
He paid to the high-ranked officials.
Including that escaped Ding Yizhen!
The sums were huge, therefore he got afraid.
He also said at this rate,
he'd either end up in jail, or silenced!
Liu Qingzhu is dead now.
During a trip!
Don't you think it's also one way to get silenced?
I do!
When I first heard about it, I thought it was so!
Then why didn't you inform us ASAP?
Like I told you, I was afraid!
Shanshui Group is supported by secretary Gao Yuliang,
the children of former provincial Zhao Lichun also have stocks!
Wait, what did you say?
Zhao Lichun's children have stocks there?
Yeah, they get money every year!
Old Liu transferred the money himself!
You just said,
Gao Xiaoqin visited you for consolation,
how did she do it?
Have you received their money too?
Tell the truth!
Gao Xiaoqin paid me 2 millions!
She told me to not tell anyone!
Ask her,
for how long had Liu Qingzhu been paying money like this?
For how long had Liu Qingzhu been paying officials like this?
Old Liu told me, about 8 to 9 years.
For how long had he worked at Shanshui Group?
13 years!
He joined since it was Shanshui Trading Company!
OK Cai Chenggong, that's all for today.
When you are back,
recollect details of the bridge-loans with Handong Oil & Gas.
But... don't leave me!
I don't wanna go back!
You tell Hou Liangping to save me!
I'm in real danger!
You can tell him, I have important stuff to tell him!
Why must it be Hou Liangping, you can tell us!
Fine, forget it.
Sentence me already, I'll accept anything!
We also wanna sentence you ASAP.
But we can't, the police still got work to do!
Then ask the police for me!
Sentence me ASAP!
I just wanna go to a real jail to serve this sentence!
I really don't wanna return to the detention center!
For real!
I get scared when I think about it!
Zhou Zheng,
go to our procuratorate office afterwards,
ask our comrades, is Cai really under threat?
You must beware of his safety!
Yes, proc. director Ji.
Procurator Zhou, I beg you!
Do me this small favor, OK?
I accept any sentence!
Try sleep between those two!
It's creepy, I tell you!
My stomach is full of secrets, if I get killed, it's your loss!
Tell Hou Liangping for me!
That's all for today's meeting.
Dismissed!
Comrade Dakang, comrade Yuliang,
you two stay.
You did well in today's meeting!
You two both set good examples!
Thank you both!
Chief Sha, there's no need to thank us!
You made the meeting's atmosphere lively!
Chief Sha, it's you who controlled things well!
You showed both authority and democracy,
you brought back the good traditions of the party!
Comrade Yuliang,
such upfront praises are not good!
Now I feel shy.
When comrade Guofu praised me during the meeting,
I felt bad enough, I didn't know if I must tell him to stop.
Don't do this in the future! - Alright!
After all, the party tradition is democratic centralism.
Chief Sha, the reason we two stay is...
It's like this.
I've been to Handong for 3 months now.
I never hosted any democratic life meeting. (internal party meeting for self-critique)
Let's have one, per central regulations.
Let's show our hands, sweep some sweat,
ring the bell and feel the wind!
Yes, I think we should!
But I'm busy lately.
Yes chief Sha, we are all busy lately.
Can we perhaps wait a bit, before having this meeting?
Comrades, it can't get delayed any further!
Think about it, before I arrived,
for how long have you not had this meeting?
Let's do it!
I even hope you two can take a good lead!
OK chief Sha, I got it!
I'll be the first to speak!
Good!
Comrade Yuliang, you are second!
No problem!
You guys tell her,
for the safety of her and her family,
don't tell anyone about today's discussion!
Especially people from Shanshui Group!
I know, I know!
Also, our procurators will find her,
we hope she can cooperate.
Also tell her,
the procurators will find her, ask her to cooperate!
I will totally cooperate!
I also hope these corrupt officials get caught!
OK, let's call it for the day!
Little Zhao, get a car to send her home!
At the meeting, I can start from my wife's duty crime...
No!
I must say "ex-wife"!
I should've reported this to the organization!
Comrade Dakang.
I've been waiting for you to talk to me.
But you never came, fine.
Let's discuss about it during the democratic life meeting!
Divorcing is fine, but after filing divorce,
you personally drove your crime-suspect ex-wife to the airport,
that was your fault!
At best, you lacked vigilance!
Yes...
I've had a stone heart for my entire life...
I don't know why...
After divorce, my heart softened.
I understand, you've been married for decades.
Your relationship wasn't very good.
When she asked, you couldn't reject her.
But foremost, secretary Dakang really didn't know,
that Ouyang Jing has issues.
Although it's true...
But think about it.
If Hou Liangping wasn't there, what's the consequences?
The consequences must be severe!
I would've failed both prov. committee and central government!
This Cai is going mental, he's always paranoid.
After getting hit by that demolitionist, he suspects everyone.
He just reported to me,
suspecting somebody tried to poison him.
Shall we find him a doctor?
For what, how can he possibly be sick?
He's pretending to be crazy!
OK, keep an eye on him.
Proc. director Ji said, nothing can happen to him!
OK.
We are leaving then. - OK.
And you, comrade Yuliang.
I heard you approved that gourmet city in Luezhou!
Was it your political achievement?
You're right, chief Sha.
It was for political achievement.
The economy was sliding,
comrade Lichun and prov. committee suggested,
to invest heavily in service industry!
The gourmet city was hastily launched!
I lacked awareness!
I didn't know it would cause such huge pollution!
The lesson is painful enough!
With your broad stroke of a pen,
a nobility project was launched!
The famous Crescent Lake of Luezhou,
became a sewage dump!
The price was too high!
Historical limitations!
In fact nobody expected this!
Comrade Yuliang...
That's not a good self-critique!
Unconvincing!
How come comrade Dakang didn't have historical limitations?
As mayor of Luezhou, he never approved this project!
In Lincheng, he transformed the sunken mining area,
into a nationally renowned development zone!
I've witnessed both the good and the bad examples.
It's a bit shocking!
Chief Sha,
when you said "nobility",
it's too accurate!
But...
If princeling Zhao wasn't behind the project...
secretary Yuliang would've had less limitations!
Secretary Dakang brought up a good question!
It warrants my self-reflection!
Limitations on top of serving the nobility,
I committed a historical mistake!
Don't worry chief Sha,
during the meeting I'll thoroughly dissect myself!
That's right, comrade Yuliang!
This is good self-awareness!
I can foresee that this democratic life meeting...
will have a positive effect!
Wei Caixia brought vital intel!
For so many years, Liu Qingzhu kept paying.
Which officials received the money?
Ding Yizhen is one of them.
Definitely, otherwise he won't need to escape!
But nobody planned Liu Qingzhu's escape!
Ding received money, he knows those officials.
Therefore somebody planned his escape.
But Liu Qingzhu, after many years of transaction,
he suddenly got afraid.
For his own safety, he reported to Chen Hai.
But something went wrong, he got exposed,
one died, another is in coma.
That proves the gravity of this case!
Who are those high-ranked officials?
The fog is dispersing,
the face of those bastards,
are slowly appearing!
I'm sure they can't even sleep well at nights!
Definitely!
I'm leaving. - OK.
Why don't you eat?
You don't look so well!
Feel uncomfortable?
No, just irritated.
This new provincial chief, is not going easy on me!
Are you antagonizing him or what?
How could I?
He is 1st-in-command,
and trusted by the central.
Good thing you know.
I tell you,
you must position yourself correctly as provincial secretary.
Carry out the orders of 1st-in-command,
even if you don't agree with him.
On the official court, you count as...
an old comrade!
You won't survive without understanding this!
Mocking the 1st-in-command,
means nothing good!
Of course I know!
You don't oppose the 1st-in-command,
but he's here to fix you!
Today, this Sha Ruijin,
started with me and Li Dakang!
During the meeting I was still confused.
After the meeting, this Sha Ruijin,
kept me and Li Dakang for a chat.
Then I understood!
The new chief is discreet when he fixes someone!
Have more meat!
See how slim you've become!
Secretary Tian.
What's your take on Gao Yuliang?
I dislike this professor!
That's not a good standard, state the facts!
OK.
If I don't care about image,
I would've rebutted him during the meeting!
Who's he trying to fool with his Lei Feng speech?
He thinks we are 3 years old?!
Secretary-general Qian rebutted him!
Therefore I told him clearly,
give up on his student Qi Tongwei's deputy governor post!
The disciplinary commission won't pass him!
With so much complaints from the people,
but Gao Yuliang,
he keeps recommending him,
hoping Qi Tongwei will become his successor!
What's going on?
He refuses to come to his senses!
I'm not being senseless.
Sometimes I can't help.
Do you think I still like this student who veers with the wind?
I know you stopped liking him long ago.
Your favorite is actually Hou Liangping.
Of course!
I must like Hou Liangping!
But sadly, I can't use him!
Therefore you'd still support Qi Tongwei!
It's an attitude.
If I back down as soon as the commissions protest,
then who would dare to follow me in the future?
They're right,
this Qi Tongwei,
has his faults and weaknesses.
Sometimes his faults are serious!
They are fully demonstrated lately!
But I can't help, I need to use someone.
If not my students, who else?
Yi Xuexi?
He's a man of the Sha-clan!
In the future,
he'll become Sha Ruijin's vanguard!
You do things despite knowing you should not!
That is politics!
Things don't change after my will.
But I tell you.
When you do these things,
never let anybody get a hold on you!
Tian Guofu and Sha Ruijin,
both have reservations about Qi Tongwei!
I figured it out now.
If I don't push Qi Tongwei upward,
they'll pull him down!
He may even lose his police chief job!
You must know,
the importance of being provincial police chief!
Ever since I became chief of the provincial PD,
we haven't had much chance to sit down and chat like this!
Yeah I was thinking,
how about you quit as police chief?
The two of us can focus on managing Shanshui Group!
Without this police chief,
could Shanshui Group even exist?
Now you don't get it!
I'm worried about you!
The new provincial chief dislikes you, you know.
Disciplinary secretary Tian Guofu is aiming at you.
I'm worried that your mentor secretary Gao Yuliang,
he can't handle it!
Don't worry, the mentor can handle it!
Who is he?
A famous politician of Handong!
I tell you, his political skills are on par with Zhao Lichun!
Besides, if central didn't airdrop this Sha Ruijin,
according to the line of succession, Gao Yuliang my mentor,
would've surely become provincial chief!
Handong has so many professors,
but how come only one is a high-ranked official?
There's much you can learn!
BTW...
There's another thing I can't figure out.
That gourmet city and lakeside garden in Luezhou,
was it only about awareness?
Was it a careless historical mistake?
It's said that comrade Gao Yuliang is usually careful!
But when it was about the prince and princess of Zhao Lichun,
why did he become careless?
Could there be something else involved?
Therefore chief Ruijin,
I'm afraid we must reconsider!
This is how I see it:
it was historical limitation, or appeasement to nobility,
or both.
Comrade Li Dakang put it quite objectively.
If it weren't princeling Zhao who wanted the project,
Gao Yuliang won't have made this historical mistake!
Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu don't just focus on me.
I think they're focusing on Gao Yuliang too.
You see, they went to Luezhou together.
In theory, demolishing gourmet city is a minor affair.
Why would 2 big shots both attend?
Could it be because...
it involves former chief Zhao Lichun and Zhao-clan?
Although Zhao Lichun got promoted to Beijing,
he's a tiger that left the mountain while Gao Yuliang is still here!
Sha Ruijin is very calculating!
He personally went to Luezhou,
to check out the gourmet city at Crescent Lake.
Although he said he inspected Yi Xuexi,
in fact,
he inspected both me and Li Dakang!
He told me himself:
that he saw both the good and the bad results!
It was shocking!
There's one thing I never understood.
Why did you have to approve the gourmet city?
Why not Li Dakang?
Besides, why could Li Dakang refuse Zhao Ruilong,
but not you?
Back then... how do I put it?
Forget it, talking about it annoys me.
What's that good for?
This gourmet city in Luezhou...
One false step may bring eternal regret! (Chinese proverb)
I regret when I think about it!
Why did I develop Zhao Lichun as my political resource,
via his son too!
Was I foolish?
Gao Yuliang is smart!
He used the chance to give Zhao Ruilong his first gold bucket,
and clutched onto the thickest leg in Handong!
From then on, he had a smooth career and all he wanted!
Step by step, he achieved his current status!
Li Dakang, in comparison,
his political determination and vision, are leagues behind!
You call that political determination?
Building a huge lakeside gourmet city,
did he never think about pollution?
I don't like Li Dakang,
but I must say this Li Dakang is unyielding!
Unyielding? What's that good for?
I tell you,
being unyielding is useless in political dogfights nowadays!
Thanks a lot!
What transpired in Luezhou back then?
How come Zhao Lichun's former personal secretary Li Dakang,
never approved a pollution project,
but Gao Yuliang approved immediately after Li's departure?
Why did Zhao Lichun move Li Dakang away from Luezhou,
to make him the munic. secretary of Lincheng?
Luckily, comrade Li Dakang,
made some achievements in Lincheng, or else...
If Li Dakang is a lazy official,
or incompetent, or corrupt,
then the 5 million people in Lincheng would be in trouble!
There's something else you knew:
my rivalry with Li Dakang.
This man is autocratic and domineering,
it gave me headaches!
I know it.
Once he became mayor,
he completely messed up your city-planning!
Not only that.
He totally ignored me, the munic. secretary.
He embarrassed me at many public occasions!
Back then I thought:
if anybody can move away this Li Dakang,
I'm ready to pay some price.
At that moment,
Zhao Ruilong came to Luezhou,
to build a "gourmet city".
Could he have spoken to Li Dakang already?
Yes.
Li Dakang refused him!
I didn't know!
But...
you took it as a chance to approach Zhao Lichun, right?
Correct, that's what I thought.
But I also felt it was unlikely.
All the people and officials in Luezhou knew,
Li Dakang was Zhao Lichun's man!
If we kept fighting, I'd be the one to get fired!
The rumors claimed Gao Yuliang was leaving Luezhou.
Gao Yuliang also told his friends,
saying he could get fired any moment.
But in the end, everybody was surprised!
The one who got fired from Luezhou,
was actually Li Dakang!
One could draw exact 2 opposite conclusions from this.
One: comrade Zhao Lichun recognized talent,
he only use the good ones than the close ones.
He was even ready to upset his former secretary Li Dakang.
Two:
comrade Zhao Lichun used his son Zhao Ruilong,
and Gao Yuliang who was seeking connections,
to complete some kind of deal!
Therefore he exiled Li Dakang,
and promoted Gao Yuliang!
I prefer the 2nd!
Because the gourmet city and lakeside garden,
are undeniable facts!
Not so fast, secretary Tian!
Let's investigate more first!
Nobody knew Zhao Ruilong was so powerful!
The provincial chief Zhao Lichun,
actually listened to his precious son!
I just said it randomly:
if chief Zhao can move away Li Dakang,
then I'll approve both projects!
One week later,
Li Dakang was indeed transferred away!
He did it like child's play!
Zhao Ruilong actually had that capability!
Is it real?
That's what happened!
After this thing was done,
in my mind, I couldn't find any joy!
I was even afraid!
I asked myself again and again:
can you really play the game of power this way?
Is Zhao Lichun the only one who's playing,
or is everybody playing this way?
Indeed...
This way of playing is too scary!
"l’etat, c’est moi"! (Quoting Ludvig XIV: "the country is me")
Prof. Wu...
There's one more thing I haven't told you.
Zhao Ruilong offered me,
to not only move away Li Dakang,
but also make me a standing prov. committee member!
A year later,
it became reality!
Yuliang, you know how to keep secrets!
This secret...
You kept it away from me all these years!
I didn't mean it, I just didn't know how to tell you!
You'd be scared if I told you!
Ever since then...
all my dreams and ideals,
completely crumbled!
I both love and hate Zhao Lichun.
I can't explain.
This project of Zhao Ruilong...
has Zhao Lichun talked to you about it?
Not really, but in private,
he told me this:
Yuliang,
I have 2 daughters, but only 1 son.
As long as Ruilong has a good career,
I can pass away peacefully!
Could it get any more obvious?
He was deliberately dropping a hint!
Now you think about it, of course!
But now the storm of anti-corruption is raging,
Zhao Ruilong keeps sending himself to the gun point!
He brought up the old matter,
and hoped me to help him get compensation!
Isn't it outrageous?!
Yuliang, I think regarding this matter,
you still gotta report to Zhao Lichun!
Let him know what his precious son has done!
How do I tell on the phone?
Therefore I prepare to send Qi Tongwei To Beijing,
to tell him personally.
I actually understand this.
Whether you like it or not,
we are all in the same boat now!
The Zhao-clan,
your mentor secretary Yuliang,
and us!
Whoever gets caught first,
everyone gets dragged down!
Therefore I tell you,
If my mentor scolds me, it's fine.
Because for my promotion to deputy governor,
Gao Yuliang must recommend me even if he can't!
You know why? It's called "offense for defense"!
Even if I can't become deputy governor,
I must keep my police chief title!
If I lose this title,
everybody will go down!
Damn...
Who's that?
Liang Lu!
Lady first-wife! Answer her now!
Before she makes you kneel on the scrub board! (method for home punishment)
Hello?
Tongwei, where are you?
I... I'm working overtime at provincial PD!
Are you working at provincial PD or resting at Shanshui Manor?
Prof. Liang, you think it's funny?
Chief Qi, why would I joke with you?
You got visitors from hometown again!
Your brother brought two relatives,
asking you to solve that...
that gang-rape case!
They way they put it, if you don't solve it for them,
they won't leave today!
After Yi Xuexi took over in Luezhou,
how are things going?
Quite good,
the work in Luezhou is advancing on all fronts!
If we have more officials like Yi Xuexi,
heavy corruptions like princeling Zhao won't be so frequent!
It's not too late to win back the people's trust!
Comrade Ruijin...
shall we investigate the Zhaos' businesses in our province?
Get a thorough survey!
We do it, without saying it!
Let comrade Yi Xuexi,
start from that gourmet city in Luezhou!
No matter what, in the end...
we must return justice to society,
and an explanation to the people!
(Liu Xinjian, CEO and chairman of Handong Oil & Gas Group)
This is good wine, better than the one from Italian vineyard!
Of course, it costs 100k per bottle!
Seriously? - What do you think?
Nice!
Boss Liu...
have you considered,
to enter wine business in Italy?
