"In the Name of People"
Episode 8
What nice people uncle Chen and auntie Wang are!
Kind and just, full of passion!
At that time, people were really honest with one another!
So many years passed.
My heart still feels warm as I think about it.
Yesterday, uncle Chen told me over the phone.
Chen Hai's son Little Leather Ball
asked Chen Hai to buy our Ranran a toy gun.
Alright then.
Stop talking.
You can go back.
Back to Handong.
Find justice for Chen Hai!
And find uncle Chen and auntie Wang an explanation!
I know my wife will never drag me down!
Chief Qin didn't believe me!
I really want to!
But I can't!
Coming!
Mister Zheng! - Little Lei!
Cai Chenggong is not at my place, it's true!
Mister Zheng,
I'm not looking for Cai Chenggong or you.
I'm looking for "the crying caterpillar".
Caterpillar, someone's looking for you.
Please sit, I go wash dishes.
Who? - Me!
Haven't seen you for a while! I kinda miss you and should come visit.
Brother Lei.
The crying caterpillar makes false online rumors!
It's time for you to cry!
Your alleged arson image from 1/16,
got reposted 365 times.
The rumor of police shooting to kill, got reposted 120 times.
Your post to slander a provincial leader, got reposted 106 times.
Altogether, you got more than 500 reposts.
Wait a sec brother Lei, when did I ever slander a provincial leader?
Which leader? - Caterpillar, let me remind you.
This leader's family name is Gao.
You mean secretary Gao Yuliang?
I didn't make it up! Everyone says that Gao Xiaoqin is his daughter!
Rumors also claim you are the nephew of secretary Gao!
That's great! Please ask secretary Gao if he accepts me! I'm OK!
Officer Lei, shall I pack up for this boss Zheng?
No hurry, let me talk to him first.
Mister Du Fu, why do you pour oil on the fire?
Are you my real dad or not?
People ask for trouble like sky ask for rain. (Chinese proverb)
You asked for it! Keep it up!
Brothe Lei, you see we are old acquaintances.
We often meet, right?
You know the law, as do I, right?
Besides, you are a law-enforcing police,
while I'm a law-abiding citizen, right?
No!
You broke the law! I won't be here if you didn't!
Impossible!
I, Zheng Shengli, am a person with principles!
I always walk above the redline of law!
But you sometimes happen to fall below the line!
It's called "slip and fall into the water"! (Chinese idiom)
Even if he slipped, it's still illegal.
Are you two performing "xiang sheng" or what? (Chinese "crosstalk" performance)
You are back!
Is Hai-zi waking up?
Same as before.
Where are all these birds and plants from?
The lower-level officials sent them! To visit Hai-zi they said.
Visit Hai-zi? Hai-zi is on the hospital bed, unmovable.
How could he play with these?
Are they for me? I already upset the officials!
Who could like me so much?
You flatter yourself. As I see it,
they visit neither Hai-zi nor you.
They are eager to please little Jin-zi!
This time you are right!
If Sha Ruijin didn't come here to be our party chief,
no minions would come visit!
Fine, brother Lei.
Even if I broke some petty laws, it's still not crime!
It is! You got more than 500 reposts!
Brother Lei,
I have to remind you of the common legal knowledge.
If one false rumor got reposted over 500 times, then it breaks the law.
But I need 3 posts together to reach 500.
Therefore brother Lei, please have some water!
Let me ask you something else.
What's up with "cleanse all harmful bugs"?
What's up? She also got 500 reposts?
It can't be! She also has principles and redlines!
Is "cleanse all harmful bugs" from Beijing?
No idea.
Really?
Really!
BTW boss Zheng,
how about you tell brother Lei about you running a school?
But... What are you planning again?
Brother Lei you see, doing business is getting difficult!
Therefore I wanna switch to the education sector!
You? Education sector?
So what? Education is being commercialized.
Even education is commercialized?
How come I don't know?
There's a lot you don't know!
The commercialization of education is something serious!
Why do I say this? Because... - OK fine.
If it's serious, you do it and I won't stop you.
How did you and that "bug" know each other?
Online of course!
Online? Have you met her then?
No. How can I if it's online?
What to do about this?
Hello, provincial discipline and inspection office please.
Guofu,
I'm Chen Yanshi. I gotta tell you something.
You know my son had an accident,
lots of officials sent me plants and birds.
So I check them out, they are all quite expensive! (Tian Guofu, provincial discipline and inspection secretary)
These are gifts!
I can't stand them.
You send someone over and take them. I turn them in!
Master Chen, you don't have to turn them in.
The provincial discipline office is not pet shop!
What do we do then? I can't keep them forever!
How about this,
I give them to the new party chief Sha Ruijin,
so he can open a pet shop!
How about you let the seniors at the retirement home take them?
This is actually a nice solution! Our retirement home can take them!
BTW you must record this matter!
Relax, this phone can record conversations!
Good!
Go get manager Qian, so he can take away these plants and birds!
Otherwise we can't sleep at night!
On my way! I also don't like this.
Mister Du Fu,
the 20,000 you need for ISBN is no more.
My company decided to no longer sponsor your poem collection.
Talking about boss Niu's crooked neck! So what?
Did he choose to be crooked? Isn't it caused by accident?
Not only his neck, his mind is also crooked!
He bribes the police and the gangs, you know?
Why do you care? He got money!
And you'd better serve with pen and ink ready!
Otherwise your excellent poem collection won't come out!
I give up on publishing, OK?
(The Supreme People's Procuratorate of PRC)
Come in!
Chief Qin, you were looking for me?
Liangping,
I realize that you are one lucky guy!
Found a good wife!
Make people jealous!
What's going on? - Your wife Xiao-Ai called me.
She said no matter what the bureau decides, she will support us.
I asked her if there is something at home the bureau can assist with.
Guess what she said?
Which family doesn't need assistance? But she will do fine!
Like I told you before!
My wife is wonderful both at home and at work!
But, she's worried about your safety.
I assured her the bureau will take care of it.
Women you know, aren't as brave.
She really believes Handong is the heaven of those corrupt officials!
In the worst case, even if it is their heaven,
Once I arrive, I'll bust a hole on their sky and make it fall on them!
Good!
Liangping,
What we need now is exactly your spirit!
Yes sir!
Let me ask you mister Du Fu,
Did you ever try to use my money for your book?
You are noble and honest, I'm not nobel, dishonest.
Don't use my dirty money then!
Boss Zheng, let me repeat once again,
I don't need your money for my poem collection!
Dad, don't you need to have a conscience?
My conscience? What do you mean?
Did you try to send me to jail with your conscience?
I reposted stuff online to spread the words of Dafeng workers!
That's why the police came!
I see.
I... I was wrong about you. So wrong.
So even the great poet Zheng could be wrong sometimes?
Listen to yourself! Anybody could be wrong sometimes!
Shengli... - Stop calling me "Shengli".
Today I formally announce: from now on, I'm no longer Zheng Shengli!
I wanna change my name.
My name is "Zheng Qian" (sounds like "make money")
What?
Zheng Qian. ("Make money")
What a vulgar name, "make money"!
Even if that's what you want, you shouldn't say it like this.
It's not discreet enough!
Discreet? Like you?
The poet is Su Dongpo, you are Zheng Xipo.
You even changed your family name!
Were you discreet about "modern Du Fu"?
Fine. Stop talking about me.
Call yourself "make money" then.
You don't have to approve.
I do like you and change my last name too, to "Qiang Qian" (means "rob money")
That won't do! To rob money is illegal!
Isn't that what you want? Letting the cops put me in jail.
So you have good reason to visit me in the jail!
Bringing that up again... Dad already apologized!
Fine. I'm not gonna clutch onto your mistakes.
You also had a good point. Although I'm not the son of Su Dongpo,
I'm the son of Zheng Xipo, a poet. I need some discretion.
This "Qian" of mine is not the character for "money",
It's the "Qian" of "Qian Kun" (meaning "fate")
Fate? Good! This name sounds magnificent!
Shengli... - Zheng Qian!
Well, Zheng Qian...
As you see, anyone could be wrong sometimes.
I tell you, don't make up false online rumors!
This "forced demolition by arson" didn't happen!
Your dad went there, there was no such thing!
Why would I make up rumors? I didn't write that post.
I only reposted! So I'm just a spreader of false rumors!
OK master Chen, we turn the eastern courtyard into a bird garden.
For the seniors to enjoy.
But...
But what?
I give you for free. So what else do you want?
Master Chen, you see all these birds, the cost to feed them...
What do you mean?
Are you saying I should also pay for their meal?
No, let the officials who gifted them pay.
How about this master Chen?
If more people come with birds, you tell them:
don't send birds anymore, but more bird fodder!
How come I didn't think of this idea?
This way I'll get tons of money for bird fodder and I become rich!
After that I move out of here and buy a villa! Then I get arrested!
I don't mean that. As the former procurator, I know you won't do that.
I tell you, if you don't keep them, I send them to provincial discipline commission.
You get me a car and I pay the transportation!
Don't master Chen! I was just talking. Let me handle it! Please!
Manager Qian, please don't mind him.
Ever since Chen Hai got hit, he's in a bad mood.
He makes strange comments, don't take him seriously!
I know auntie Wang, I know.
Dad,
you see me jumping around like a chicken picking rice.
How hard it is to make money!
Can't you look at me with microscope and find my strengths?
At least I'm not burdening the society.
Instead of exploiting parents, I help mine!
The 20,000 you need for publication for example,
I may get impulsive and pay for you!
OK OK.
I can publish my book without your money.
I also don't need you to pay my pension.
Just be a good person and avoid trouble!
Don't upset people all day and make the police come to us!
I always get worried!
Dad, what's there to fear with police visiting?
This is a society of law, the police and the people are one family!
Besides, didn't you visit the police a few days ago to file a report?
Let's talk about your stuff.
Now that you mention it, I remember something. I gotta go.
Dad, where are you going? I'm not finished talking!
Visiting the injured workers! Cai Chenggong gave me some money.
Cai gave you money?
How much?
He gave me a card with 100 thousand in it.
Dad are you alright?
Dad,
how do you think about my name-change?
I changed to "make money" and the money is here!
Dad, this time you win!
What do I win?
Little Jin-zi hasn't even visited us,
those low-level officials already found an excuse.
"Checking on Hai-zi" they say.
They come to us in droves like revolving lamps!
I've never seen them like this before!
When do you think little Jin-zi will come visit?
He just assumed office with lots to do. He can't just come!
Besides, the 1/16 incident is well-known both domestic and abroad.
He must deal with it. - There's also the matter of our Hai-zi.
When little Jin-zi gets here, I'll talk with him.
Somebody definitely plotted against Hai-zi!
But... you say it's a plot, they say it's an accident.
Can you get evidence to show it's a plot?
You don't think finding evidence is easy? It's very easy!
Little Jin-zi is the provincial party chief, let him order an investigation!
The corrupt officials that Hai-zi took down, check them again!
The bad guy who hit him must be among them!
Don't! I tell you!
He's not our personal provincial party chief!
Could this be little Jin-zi?
Master Chen! Auntie Wang!
The great chief Qi! You are a rare sight!
Please don't call me that auntie Wang!
Master Chen, I'm here to visit!
Get back!
Master Chen, these days, I had much to do at work.
Please don't criticize me for not visiting sooner!
Didn't you come to the hospital yesterday? That's good enough.
Just do your job!
No worries, it's fine. I'm just here to visit you today!
Let me help you. I help you to wipe the courtyard, OK?
No please don't! What are you doing? Don't!
Don't worry auntie Wang, please sit down!
You know how close I am with Chen Hai and Chen Yang, right?
Chen Hai is in the hospital. Chen Yang is not here.
Please treat me like Chen Hai, and order me around just like you did to him! I don't mind!
Al... alright, if you don't mind then I don't mind!
Once you've clean here, also clean over there.
When you are done, go do your stuff. Your work is busy!
Master Chen, actually I wanna report to you about my work today.
On the night of 1/16, if you didn't step up with your ample political experience,
then both me and secretary Dakang,
would've embarrassed ourselves and made political mistakes!
Now you understand?
I'm not talking big and boasting my seniority.
As an official, you need to have the people in your heart!
You can't use the name of the people as a farce! That's not OK!
Master Chen, I come today because I wanna hear your guidance!
After the incident that night,
secretary Yuliang criticized me harshly.
Dad you see, you hold 23,000 stocks at Dafeng,
every stock is worth 4.5 to 5.0. Isn't it 100 thousand exactly?
You take this money as your withdrawal from the company!
Aren't you winning now?
Don't interrupt me, let me finish.
You see I just changed my name into "make money",
and money fell from the sky!
Don't you think it's fate?
Don't you?
No!
This money is what Cai gives to the all those 38 burned workers.
This sum is already too little, I can't embezzle!
My dear daddy!
How is it embezzlement?
This money is yours! Your company share!
Even so, I still can't do it.
Cai Chenggong gave me this 100 thousand because he trusts me.
I can't betray his trust.
What is "trust" good for?
You trust him today, he still rip you off tomorrow!
By then you won't get your 100 thousand back!
Then I'll just pretend it never existed.
But being human, we must act like human!
We can't just have money in our sight!
You see all the ghosts roaming the streets, why must we be human?
I refuse to believe! How many ghosts are out there?
We gotta be human!
Be a proper human,
a human with humanity!
Why can't you understand?
Master Chen, you called secretary Yuliang that night.
You told him:
"I'm getting arrested, come save me"!
You don't know how scared I was, full of cold sweat!
I can't help.
I know you don't fear anybody in Handong, except your mentor Gao Yuliang!
Isn't Chen Hai also his student?
To be frank with you master Chen,
deep down in my heart, I fear you the most!
Secretary Yuliang is the mentor of Chen Hai and me.
You are the old superior of secretary Yuliang!
I heard you called our new provincial party chief,
comrade Sha Ruijin as "little Jin-zi"?
Of course he's "little Jin-zi", we watched him growing up!
I tell you back then... - Enough!
Stop bringing up the old days!
Chief Qi is the provincial head of public security, he's a busy man!
Just go do your stuff!
Master Chen, there was one thing you said that night,
that had a huge cautionary effect on me!
You said we must understand:
Who am I? Where am I from and where do I go?
I've been contemplating over this the last two days.
Actually every official must carefully think about this question!
Good! Then remember it well, don't treat it as passing wind!
I'm here my wife! You can leave it to me!
Leave what? Pack your stuff and get to Handong ASAP!
How could a deputy chief act emotionally?
Please give me a chance to take care of my dear wife!
Crack some eggs, we cook them some crab with scrambled eggs.
They like it when you cook it. - Great!
Dad, also bruised oarfish!
OK! Daddy makes you an upgraded version today!
Chief Qi, it's enough, take a break!
No worries, let me do it!
I thank you on behalf of the retirement home!
It's fine really, auntie Wang!
Just let me do it.
BTW, I prefer you call me "little Qi" like before! I feel good hearing it!
You also call chief Sha Ruijin "little Jin-zi", right?
That's different!
Let him do it if he wants.
Little Jin-zi is really here!
Little Jin-zi! - I'm back!
Sorry that I didn't visit you sooner! - Get inside!
We were just talking about you, come inside and sit!
Let me inspect your room here!
The bed is huge! - You see!
You see, old Chen's calligraphy!
Come on.
Let's all pour some wine and celebrate properly!
For me, becoming bureau chief Hou!
Little uncle, this time you are no longer brackets, but really "bureau chief Hou"!
Right! I'm finally catching up to your little auntie!
Like a salted fish rolling over! (Chinese idiom)
Dad, give me a glass too! I wanna get wasted!
Kids don't drink alcohol! Drink juice!
I pour you this.
Let's raise our glasses!
Bureau chief Hou may depart for Handong tomorrow!
Why Handong? Because my job needs it!
Dad, I wanna follow you to Handong! My job also needs it!
What needs do you have?
I'm becoming the pupil who needs extra help! I need a new school!
What did you say?
You really managed to make yourself a pupil of extra needs, right?
Mom, it's unexpected!
With your attitude in school, I find it very expected!
But let's not talk about it today.
Why not today?
We must talk about it today!
Ranran,
once dad goes to Handong, you become the only guy in this family.
If you act like this how could dad trust you?
Therefore you must study well and become a real man,
and take good care of the two ladies at home! Understand?
Let's eat now!
You are done talking?
Yeah?
Why are you bringing a military water bottle?
Old Chen always bring it!
For my liquor!
For liquor? - Yes!
You take a sip sometimes? - Yeah...
Chief Sha!
Hello!
Just go back when you are done, it's dinner time!
Interesting. A chief of police acting as your gardener!
I tell you,
chief Qi is very smart!
It's because of you coming here as provincial party chief!
Why would he otherwise?
So what auntie means is chief Qi is putting up an act for me?
Of course!
Not just him,
once they heard you arrived,
you ask him,
our retirement home quickly became lively!
Right. Therefore, I also commit faults with them.
What faults?
I tell you, the official conducts aren't good nowadays.
I can't help.
Therefore I received bribes.
How much?
35 birds! 43 pots of plants! 16 pots of penjing!
I wanna hand over to discipline commission, they don't accept.
They told me to donate to the retirement home, guess what they said?
Asking me to pay the bird fodder!
This bribe is bad business! - Yet you are laughing!
If you didn't become the party chief, this wouldn't have happened!
But relax little Jin-zi,
I wrote down their names and gifts on my small booklet!
He asked me to take notes!
You can show me later, and I'll study it!
You hear that?
It's right here.
This house used to belong to the former provincial party chief Zhao Lichun!
Yes.
I'm living here temporarily.
You've been here before?
How's that possible?
Would Zhao Lichun ever let me and old Chen into his house? Impossible!
Little Jin-zi, to say something impolite,
the officials of Handong were corrupted exactly by Zhao Lichun!
Alright, let's say something positive! Let's not...
What? You mean I can't talk?
But... If they had the guts to do, why can't I even talk about it?
Can we talk about it today? - Yes of course!
I wanted to invite you over for some time,
But I had no proper home, and traveled around to inspect places.
Today I'm available,
I asked our chef to cook a few dishes, come and have a taste!
Actually, little Jin-zi, it's fine whatever we eat!
We feel heartily warm for you having the intention.
Come in and have a seat!
Wait for my signal!
Xiao-Ai!
Take a break for now, put it down first. - What?
Sit down and take a break!
What's that for? I'm not done!
I know you are tired, take a break and let me massage for you!
Come here and sit. - What's up?
Sit down and close your eyes.
Why closing my eyes?
Just close them!
How childish!
What's that?
Patience!
Now open!
How come you bought it?
I saw it lying in your online shopping cart for a month,
are you waiting for a discount?
I know these situations!
Right! Aren't you being dumb or what?
It goes on sale in a few days!
Happy now with half of your monthly private savings gone?
No worries. Being slightly expensive is fine.
As long as my wife likes it, this dress is priceless!
Right, Shanshan?
Right, little auntie!
Little uncle has good fashion sense! Try it on and let's have a look!
How is it his fashion sense? It's mine. He just stole the information.
And me! The heroic intelligence officer!
Try it!
Not so much wine!
I tell you today...
Have a seat!
A little less please.
Me too.
OK!
You pour a full glass! - Not me! I'll just have a little.
OK all the dishes are here, let's start.
A toast first, we haven't dined together for a while.
Alright. Let's see how this wine tastes.
Uncle Chen,
auntie Wang,
There's something I gotta tell you.
Before coming to Handong, comrade Zhao Lichun called me,
asking me to apologize to you on behalf of the organization.
He said he didn't know uncle Chen changed his age.
Therefore he didn't let uncle Chen receive the minister-level benefits.
He's sorry about that.
Sorry for what?
Getting the benefits of ministers or not, I don't care.
Did he mean it?
Failing old Chen is small matter,
but failing the party and the people is not!
Let him examine himself, did he not fail the party and the people?
Auntie Wang, aren't you being too harsh?
How did he fail the party and the people?
Little Jin-zi, other things aside,
just look at the men he promoted,
they become corrupt one after another!
And fell in droves! It hurts to watch!
Right.
The severe corruptions of Handong began with Zhao Lichun.
Uncle Chen, auntie Wang,
the issue about corruption must be viewed objectively.
The 1st-in-command is responsible, sometimes even mainly responsible.
But we can't blame all problems on the 1st-in-command.
Take me for example.
Less than 1 month after coming here, a deputy mayor escaped.
You mean Ding Yizhen? - Yeah.
How is it connected to you?
He escaped after I came to Handong as provincial party chief!
The central government will call me out!
No... - Yes, he's the 1st-in-command.
Who else do they call out, if not him?
Jin-zi,
Chairman Mao once said:
"the serious problem is educating the peasants".
I think the serious problem now is educating the officials!
These officials need some serious lessons!
If you don't do it now, our party will be finished!
And the nation destroyed!
Uncle Chen, my tenure in Handong,
is to follow the central government's directive.
To educate with "people first" and clean up our official ranks!
I've been thinking these years.
You see our economic reform is a huge success,
the living standard of common people improved hugely,
but the people still have this much dissatisfaction.
Why?
It all boils down to corruption among our official ranks!
Where did this supermodel come from?
Little auntie, wearing this, you can't look any prettier!
You gotta reimburse my little uncle!
No no, don't reimburse!
Dad, I want a photo with my mom!
You get over there, I take photo!
I can take a photo of you three together.
Sounds good, here!
Jin-zi,
In the mid 1980s,
I was the deputy mayor of Jingzhou and the commissioner of the police.
Zhao Lichun was the mayor.
The two of us were a team.
I tell you,
ever since then, he started to detach from the people.
It was hot in the summers,
and the office rooms had no AC.
He ran to the provincial guesthouse,
found himself a room with AC to work in.
But, you think nobody but you feel the heat?
Do you agree this is detachment from the people and exploiting privilege?
Old Chen was very mad.
He chased Zhao to the guesthouse and criticized him harshly,
forced him to write an apology letter, and examine himself, for real!
Did Zhao Lichun examine himself? - He did!
At the party meeting.
His attitude was somewhat sincere.
Sincere? Your standard is too low! You call that sincere?
If he were, he won't gone that far to bully you afterwards!
Payback, you know! - Look at yourself!
Doing self-critique is good enough, seriously...
Jin-zi, to tell you the truth,
I sometimes miss those years.
You see how our party officials were clean and honest.
I remember we had a secretary who received an AC.
He was fired from both the party and his official post.
Nowadays,
not just one AC, even if you receive three,
the people still regard you as an honest official.
They receive cash or cards now!
Yes. The people nowadays regard all of the officials as corrupt.
If you don't scrape the poison off the bone and oppose corruption,
the image of our party and government will be completely destroyed!
Don't waste your money from now on,
such an expensive dress, I have no chance to wear it.
You do, honey.
We must catch the little tail of youth!
What? Catching the little tail of youth? You think I'm old?
I don't mean that!
You on the other hand, when in Handong,
don't save your money when you need to spend, understood?
If you need something taken care off,
you can find someone to take good care of you!
You sound so jealous! Who would take care of a guy like me?
I'm going this time to solve Chen Hai's case!
You do need to visit his parents more.
I prepared 20,000 in cash so you can give them.
You planned carefully!
Last time, to transfer Ding's case
I personally went to Handong and feasted at Chen Hai's place.
Who would've thought it was our last meal?
This corruption is like cancer.
It slowly devours away the muscle of the society.
It inflates selfishness and kills ideal and justice.
Aside from the ones holding real power,
let's talk about the fee collectors at parking lots.
Even they ask you: do you want receipt?
What's gotten into people these days?
Even with a little bit of power, they wanna make profits.
If you don't want receipt, he pockets your money right away.
Even for things that go through official channels,
they wanna send gifts, rely on friends or go through back doors.
Especially in the last few years, how bad the social conduct has become!
I tell you,
some officials discuss in private,
saying anti-corruption makes life impossible for officials.
Isn't it bullshit? If we allow them to keep corrupting,
life won't be impossible for the officials, but the people!
The people will revolt!
Another statement claims that corruption
is the lubricant of economic development.
But what lubricant?
More like the blasting fuse of social unrest!
Other things aside, the 1/16 incident of Dafeng factory is one example!
Let me remind you again.
Once the party commission of your central bureau formalize it,
you will truly become Chief Hou of Handong anti-corruption bureau!
Chief Zhong, are you a bit jealous of me?
Jealous of you?
Yeah, I am jealous that you can whistle loud,
and that you can act on hearsay,
and you can't keep secrets in your stomach!
We are an old couple with many years of successful collaboration!
Is this how you think of me in your mind?
What do you think?
Still wanna act like the heroic investigative division director?
I tell you,
once in Handong, keep a low profile and be like one person:
Who? The heroic scout Yang Zirong? (protagonist from "Taking of Tiger Mountain")
Wrong!
Lin Daiyu! (damsel-in-distress from "Dream of the Red Chamber")
You must act like Lin Daiyu arriving to Prospect Garden.
Not saying one word too many!
Not taking one wrong step!
You must understand that you are entering an unfamiliar
and dangerous environment to work and live.
Besides you don't have me by your side.
One could say you got traps beneath your feet, above your head...
If it's really as scary as you said, I better not go.
I was just gonna consult uncle Chen on this.
What was the 1/16 incident really about?
What do you think is the crux of the problem?
It's obvious!
That's a bitter fruit yielded from corruption!
Let me tell you about this Shanshui Group.
This Shanshui Group is no ordinary company!
They have a woman called Gao Xiaoqin.
Starting from scratch, in less than 20 years,
she built a 10-billion investment enterprise!
How did she do it?
The people have different opinions.
This Gao Xiaoqin, is she related to comrade Gao Yuliang?
Not really.
Sometimes it's just rumors.
But this Gao Xiaoqin was very close with Ding Yizhen.
Without Ding, Gao Xiaoqin could never get the precious land of Dafeng factory!
120 acres, with market price of 1 billion!
She got it with 60 million!
60 million?
It must be forcible or crafty acquisition!
Nobody would disagree!
If you, Hou Liangping wanna do something, who can stop you?
Do I normally respect and obey my superiors?
You do not "obey", you are just playing with me.
Furthermore,
being the leader of an unit is different from being the leader of a bureau.
Therefore, you need to act like a leader.
Understood?
You should quit your little whistling.
OK, you want me to act with authority? But I can't!
Actually, what I wanna emphasize to you,
is still the safety issue.
Don't think I'm nagging.
If they dare to take out Chen Hai in broad daylight, they won't fear you Hou Liangping.
Don't you run over to Handong and act like some kind of lone hero.
Got it?
You must stay vigilant, everyday in Handong is in a den of wolves.
I know!
The enemy I'm facing is a powerful one,
and he takes extreme measures!
But don't worry, what they pulled off on Chen Hai won't work on me!
Why not?
They don't know me!
