Chapter 908 Interpretation And Action

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Number three of the Heavenly Duke's Mansion.

When Lin Shuimo parked her Audi TT in the parking space and got off the car with an umbrella, several middle-aged men with great might walked out of the villa accompanied by Lin Congzheng with smiles on their faces.

Ever since Lin Congzheng was elected as the director of the Development Committee, the situation in his family had been like this. Every day, there were countless rich and powerful officials visiting his house. It could be said that there were no real contacts between them. Throughout the empire, the only person who could have such a lively family was Lin Congzheng.

Lin Shuimo knew why.

This was not because his father was more popular than others, but most of the big shots, There's a general rule at home, Not everyone can come, In a high position, having too much entertainment would naturally make them feel disgusted. Therefore, most of the time, some high-ranking officials rarely entertained guests in their homes. Moreover, they wanted to visit such people in private occasions like their own homes. It was not enough to have status. Those who could visit were confidants. Even if most people had such thoughts, they would probably be blocked before they came to the door.

But ever since he took office, Lin was the complete opposite of those high-ranking officials.

Indeed, the Director of the Development Committee, as a central minister of the Cabinet, It could even be said that he was the number one official. The power in his hands could be ranked at the forefront among all the high-ranking officials at the Governor-General level. There was a saying circulating throughout the place, that is, when he arrived at the Development Committee, there would be a chair for him. That was the treatment of the Imperial Central Committee Member and even the members of the Policy-making Bureau.

This may seem exaggerated, but in fact, there is not much water.

Lin has been transferred to the Development Committee for almost a year, Lin Shuimo had been to the Development Committee Building, In front of the main entrance of the Development Committee and in the office building, she had seen more than one cadre at the level of deputy governor carefully entertaining an ordinary director of the Development Committee with an apologetic smile on his face. She had also seen a deputy secretary of a certain province sit for three to four hours in a small maza, but in the end, she was backed off by a deputy director and still dared not speak out.

Ordinary section deputy offices were still like this. As the head of the Development Committee, it was easy to imagine how much power Lin had in politics.

Normally speaking, the rules of Lin Congzheng's family should be much more than those of the others. But in fact, since Lin Congzheng took office, as long as he could get on the stage, Lin Congzheng would not refuse any high-ranking officials or wealthy people who wanted to visit him at home, causing the influx of dignitaries here every day.

In fact, when Lin first took office in politics, The empire had given Director Lin a few places to choose, There was a courtyard on Dongshou Road, There are several other Governor-General-level deputies living there, There was also a villa to choose from in Myriad Lake Park. There were a few deputy directors of the Development Committee living in that area. They were also relatively close to the Development Committee building. However, Lin Congzheng did not go anywhere. Instead, he continued to live at the third Heavenly Duke's Mansion. To some extent, this could be considered as a signal to the outside world.

Sure enough, when the first group of people who had the courage to ask to see Director Lin was not rejected, the place became more and more lively. Furthermore, judging from this posture, it seemed that the current situation was far from reaching its peak.

Lin Shuimo understood his father's mentality. He even understood his grandfather's mentality. The bitter days of the past had been too long and suppressed for too long. Now that he had suddenly gained great authority, his father would naturally want to show it. Therefore, he also liked to be lively and liked this kind of scene.

Lin Shuimo had never said anything.

But when she saw the visitor today, she couldn't help but frown.

In the past, she didn't care much about current politics, but fortunately, she had made up for it during this period of time. It was because she instinctively felt that the middle-aged man walking beside Lin Congzheng looked familiar. After careful consideration, she finally confirmed that he was the Governor of a province in the northwest of the empire.

As for that province, it was usually considered to be one of the main camps of the southwest faction, and the Lin Clan in the southwest also had a large amount of investment there.

Lin Shuimo felt even more unhappy in his heart, but in front of the guests, he didn't say anything else. He just walked over and called for his father.

Lin Congzheng smiled and nodded to his daughter. Looking at the umbrella in Lin Shuimo's hand, his pupils shrank slightly.

The middle-aged man beside Lin Congzheng also looked at the black umbrella in Lin Shuimo's hand at the same time. His originally enthusiastic smile faded slightly.

Behind the middle-aged man, a relatively young fatty was still staring at Lin Shuimo. Although she was dressed heavily in winter, her entire body was drenched. Her curves were much more seductive than usual, but the moment she saw the black umbrella, the lustful light in the fatty's eyes immediately disappeared and he lowered his head subconsciously.

A black umbrella was nothing.

But what made people awe-inspiring was the pattern on the black umbrella.

Patterns of the heavens and the sea.

Right now, in the entire Divine Continent Empire, before the imperial family returned, the black umbrella carved with the patterns of heaven and sea could only come from the War God Palace.

This meant that Lin Shuimo had just left the War God Palace.

Who knew what kind of relationship she had with the War God King?

"Director Lin, how about this first? Tomorrow, I'll bring President Hong up and hand over the specific materials for you to take a look. From my personal point of view, I hope that this project can be established for the benefit of the country and the people. Of course, I will fully respect the opinions of the Development Committee."

The middle-aged man beside Lin Congzheng smiled and said, extending his hand.

Lin Congzheng reached out and shook his hand. He nodded and smiled, "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. I have time. When that time comes, Governor Yang will come to my office to discuss in detail."

Governor Yang smiled as he nodded and left politely.

"Dad, what projects did he ask you to approve?"

Lin Shuimo waited until Governor Yang's group completely disappeared before putting away his umbrella and asking in a calm tone.

"For the steel project, Governor Yang intends to build a ten million ton steel group in Yuhua City with an investment of nearly thirty billion yuan."

Lin Congzheng didn't hide anything from Lin Shuimo. He understood her temperament. There were some things that she wouldn't tell her even if she told her.

"Steel?"

Lin Shuimo frowned. No matter how much she didn't care about politics, Her father was the director of the Development Committee. Every day, he would watch the news broadcast. Recently, she had heard several speeches from Chen Hualou, a member of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau and the Deputy Prime Minister of the Empire, on different occasions. All sorts of signs indicated that the new round of macro-control policies of the Empire was about to come out, and the steel industry was also one of the industries being regulated.

"You agree?"

Lin Shuimo asked in a serious tone. Chen Hualou was emphasizing the need for macroeconomic control. If his father gave the green light, wouldn't it be against Chen Hualou's Deputy Prime Minister?

"I didn 't even see that plan, Let's talk about it tomorrow, I know what you're worried about, but macroeconomic regulation and control is to grasp small enlargement, Tens of millions of tons, The empire will still give some support, However, the traffic in Yuhua is ordinary, There seems to be no prerequisite for the construction of tens of millions of tons of steel groups, At least there's no advantage, And beyond words, Chief Hong didn't seem to have much money, Judging from what he meant, It was said to be an investment of 30 billion yuan, "It's good that he can contribute 10 billion yuan. Most of the rest will be settled by the Household Registry and their provincial finance department. The rest will probably be financed. I'm afraid that it will be a government achievement project. If that's the case, the disadvantages will outweigh the benefits. I can't approve it. Old Yang is a little anxious. He's crazy about getting points for big projects."

Lin Congzheng couldn't help but shake his head. His tone wasn't optimistic about the steel project.

Lin Shuimo was thoughtful.

She had also heard a little about the southwest faction during the recent gathering of friends. The people in the southwest faction were very impetuous now. It was said that it was because Lin Qingtian had made a major concession to the past during this plenary session.

Right now, Ye Nianlun hadn't completely succeeded him, but the imperial clan's momentum had already suppressed the southwest faction. Many high-ranking officials of the southwest faction weren't optimistic about the situation after a year or so later, so many people were planning to take over early, afraid that they would lose the environment and opportunity to take over after the great change.

Governor Yang is just a miniature of the southwest faction.

He wanted to increase his points in the higher-ups in the big projects, and planned to become the secretary before the big change. The other high-ranking officials of the southwest faction would probably not be too comfortable either.

Moving meant changing. This was also an opportunity for the royal family.

After a moment of silence, Lin Shuimo said again, "Dad, I hope you don't approve this project. Even if this project can really be approved, it can't be approved."

"What's the reason?"

Lin Congzheng said calmly, "It can't be because Governor Yang is from the southwest faction, right? This is a national matter."

"Governor Yang doesn't seem to be old, Logically speaking, there was still plenty of room for his ascension, At least until retirement, Ao also managed to get to the position of provincial party secretary, He was so anxious, He probably wanted more than a provincial party secretary from a poor province, "He has a higher goal. In the future, this person is likely to become the biggest opponent of the royal family. Father, I know that this is a national matter, but you also said that the location of their project is not good. Since that's the case, why don't you give him a card? You just took over, be careful and no one can say anything else."

Lin Shuimo hesitated for a moment. He gritted his teeth and continued, "Furthermore, if you want to obtain more support so that you can be elected as a State Councilor next spring, or even become a Deputy Prime Minister or even a Standing Committee Deputy Prime Minister in the future, you can't approve this project. You should understand who is in charge of our family's destiny now, not President Chen or President Ye."

"It's the War God King."

Lin Congzheng said calmly, "You just went to the palace? Did you see him?"

"No."

Lin Shuimo shook his head and looked at his father's seemingly disappointed expression. He whispered, "But he asked me to bring you a sentence."

"What?!"

Lin Congzheng subconsciously raised his voice, and his tone unconsciously became a little anxious.

"He said that he is very disappointed in you. If you don't want to retire early, you should have some idea."

Lin Shuimo hesitated for a moment and did not choose to express Lin Xuanyuan's original words. He only gave a rough idea of what he meant. Although it was still very ugly, it was much more pleasant to hear than the original words.

Lin Congzheng's face suddenly turned red. Looking at his daughter's embarrassed gaze, he knew that Lin Xuanyuan's words would definitely be even more unpleasant to hear. But at this moment, apart from being embarrassed, he was more afraid.

Lin Xuanyuan's words weren't exaggerated at all. On the contrary, he knew that Lin Xuanyuan's words were true.

If he continued to disappoint him in the following period of time, he would not be elected State Councilor at the National Convention next spring. Instead, he would be transferred to a leisurely post that could no longer be leisurely used for retirement.

This was something he absolutely could not accept.

"Prepare the car. I'll go to the War God Palace and explain to His Highness."

Lin Congzheng took a deep breath and said resolutely.

"Why?"

Lin Shuimo shook his head and looked at his father seriously, "Your Highness said that you don't need to go. Furthermore, Dad, I also feel that you don't need to go. An empty explanation is far less important than actual action. And do you think your Highness will have the patience to listen to your explanation with his temperament?"
