  The car entered the parking lot, and Li Chongfeng walked quickly to this side of the fountain pool with a low-key bag. He saw the second ancestor in the car.

  "What's wrong with you? You've just been in Jiangling for a few days!"

  Li Chongfeng had complaints in his mouth, and the expression on his face wasn't very good-looking either. He really didn't put the second ancestor at ease, even though Tang Sheng's words last time were quite irritating to him. But Li Chongfeng didn't take it seriously in his heart. In his opinion, Tang Sheng was just a little kid, what could he do to himself?

  So today he still put on 'Uncle Li's' face for Tang Sheng to see.

  Tang Sheng didn't get up, looked at him and smiled, "What? Did I interrupt your gambling?"

  He was most familiar with Li Chongfeng's lifestyle. On the surface, he was dignified and upright, but in reality, he was a compulsive gambler and a womanizer. His wife lived far away in Nanfeng, while he kept a mistress in Jiangling. These were all top-secret matters, but Tang Sheng had 'memories' of them.

  Li Chongfeng's face changed, "Huh? How can playing mahjong be considered gambling?" He also wondered how this kid knew about it.

  In fact, mahjong is a form of bribery in the officialdom. Li Zhongfeng doesn't love gambling, but he loves this way of receiving bribes. Many people want to find him to say a good word for them in front of Tang Secretary, and the reason is that they invite him to play mahjong and then only lose without winning.

  It was like this when I was in the provincial capital, and it's even more so after coming to Jiangling. After all, Tang Secretary is number one in Jiangling, which means Li Chongfeng's value has also increased, just like during normal nights or weekends, after a few rounds of mahjong, Li Chongfeng would always have tens of thousands of yuan in his account.

  His love of gambling was just such a habit, and Tang Sheng knew this in his heart, so he directly poked at his weak spot.

  "What nonsense are you talking about? How did I gamble? Don't dare to spout nonsense in front of your dad......" Li Chongfeng wasn't afraid, but he was nervous inside. Even if these things couldn't be hidden from Secretary Tang's eyes, he wouldn't pursue it aggressively, as long as it was handled properly.

  "You know what Secretary Li likes, I'm still quite clear about that... I came to find you to discuss something, not to listen to your lectures."

  Li Chongfeng's face was a bit awkward, and he was afraid that this kid would really say something bad about himself, so he endured it for now. "Okay, okay, you speak, I'll listen, what's going on?" His tone was somewhat impatient, and even his eyebrows were furrowed.

  "It's nothing serious, why did you have to rush over... The Municipal Education Bureau has a Deputy Director Ma, you can deal with him..."

  Li Chongfeng rolled his eyes and couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, I'm telling you, young master, who do you think I am? Who did I wrong?"

  Tang Sheng rolled his eyes, "Secretary Li, let me tell you a true story. Once my mom and dad told me: being a secretary requires knowing how to handle things, whether it's official or private business. Giving people an excuse is the most basic skill for a secretary. Do you think this makes sense? In my opinion, sometimes leaders need to save face and don't want to give explicit instructions. What role does a secretary play in such cases? It's to find a 'legitimate reason' that allows the leader to ignore various considerations of face, best if it can be used to promote the party's positive image."

  Li Chongfeng was a bit stunned, didn't I underestimate this second-generation ancestor? How did he know all this?

  "Tang Sheng, can you tell me specifically what happened? What did Deputy Director Ma do to offend you?"

  "We've definitely offended them, you don't need to know the specifics, just let someone with the surname Ma go and 'investigate'."

  "You see... Tang Sheng, no matter what, there's always a cause and effect, right? You have to give me a reason, don't you?"

  Tang got up and patted his butt, looking elsewhere and said: "Some people have a wife and also keep a mistress, do you need to ask for a reason?"

  Li Chongfeng's heart felt like it had been smashed by a thousand-pound hammer, his face turned slightly green. He struggled to calm himself down and stood firm again, but his gaze towards Tang Sheng had completely changed. How did he know about this too? Wasn't what I did secretive enough?

  At this moment, Tang Sheng's sharp eyes turned to him, and he said with a serious tone: "Secretary Li, if you want to keep it from others, don't do anything. I don't want to ask about your business, but my affairs, if you're not careful, will be hard to explain..."

  This is a threat from Chi Guo Guo. Li Chongfeng's face swelled up like a pig's liver. From today on, he had no dignity in front of him.

  "That... Tang Sheng, actually some things are not like that, okay, okay, don't mention it. As for the situation of Vice Director Ma, I have a plan in mind. Give me a few days, next week the Municipal Discipline Inspection Committee has an anti-corruption and rectification meeting, I will attend..."

  Tang Sheng smiled and said, "I believe Secretary Li is capable, nothing else, you can go back..."

  Li Chongfeng's mood was very heavy, and he felt suffocated. Before getting on the car, he turned his head to take a look at Tang Sheng. This kid is getting more and more transparent! How come I didn't notice how formidable he was when we were in the provincial city? It seems that I need to change my attitude towards him from now on. Sigh!

  Tang Yu personally rushed to the Second Hospital, he is now extremely concerned about Tang Sheng, he is convinced that Tang Sheng is acting as a 'messenger' for his father, which means he has directly gained the opportunity to communicate with Secretary Tang, this is good, being able to carry out Secretary Tang's will is a good thing.

  The director of the second hospital, Tang Ling, is also a member of the "Jiangling Tang" clan. His father's generation lived in Old Tang Alley, but he managed to climb out and make something of himself over the years. He also had the help of Tang Yu, which allowed him to become the director.

  So Tang Yu made a phone call and he kept nodding continuously. Finally, he went downstairs to the lobby to welcome Tang Yimwan's arrival.

  They can be considered as relatives of the royal family, and Tang Ling is not as great as Tang Yu, but he also fears his younger brother.

  "What wind blew you here today, big brother?"

  Tang Ling enthusiastically pulled Tang Yimwan's hand, his face beaming with a smile. Many people in the lobby saw the director come down personally and hurriedly adjusted their working attitude, then stole glances to see who the director was receiving, and upon seeing it was Tang Yimwan, they were all shocked.

  In Jiangling, Tang Yu was a man who was too famous for his own good. He often went in and out of some places where no one did not know him.

  Tang Yu arrived later and didn't see Tang Sheng by the fountain. He first went up to the second floor with Captain Tang, chatted for a few sentences, then entered the principal's office and took out his phone to call Tang Sheng, asking where he was. He said he had already arrived at the Second Hospital and was waiting for him in the principal's office.

  In the few minutes while waiting for Tang Sheng to come up, Tang Yu whispered a few words to Tang Ling, who listened seriously...

  "Oh... so this young fellow is the one who smashed your Mercedes-Benz a while back?"

  Tang Yu smiled wryly and nodded, "Mm, as long as you know in your heart, it's fine. Pretend to be ignorant, just listen to whatever he says."

  "Brother, what's this kid's background? Don't you trust me? Tell me about it, I'll guarantee..."

  Tang Yu shook his head and pointed upwards with his hand, "I didn't say anything, you didn't hear anything, got it?"

  This gesture is very revealing, Tang Ling also knows that his brother Tang Yu and the new Tang Secretary have some kind of relationship. People in the city with a head and face are all talking about it behind their backs. Now he's pointing upwards, which means he's referring to that person. Thinking about it, if it weren't for that person's relationship, would Tang Yu tolerate a little kid smashing his Mercedes-Benz? At this time, Tang Ling's expression also changed.

  When Tang Sheng came in, Tang Yu and Tang Ling both stood up, as if it was a very formal meeting, and they even shook hands.

  Tang Ling couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. He had really returned to the right place, and yet they were giving such a grand welcome to a high school student. Alas!

  "Hey, Brother Sheng, this is Tang Ling, the director of Tang Institute. He's also from old Tang alley. Didn't he come out later? What do you want to do?"

  Tang Sheng nodded towards the Tang Mausoleum: "There's a wounded person named Tang Wei in the green channel ward, with a head injury. My intention is to exaggerate his injuries a bit, whether it's for fighting or coping, actually it's not a big deal. Eldest Uncle, you can go back first, as long as Director Tang is here."
