report submitted by Chen Jiuzheng to Great Official Zheng Honghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought this Senior Affairs Officer would seize the opportunity to make things difficult for the Chen Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a perfect chance it was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To righteously punish the Chen Family, righteously deal with Mu Beichen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as Officer Lin Ke knew, Zheng Honghu and Chen Jiutian didn’t share any affection for each other; on the contrary, due to differing opinions, they had had several minor conflicts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Officer Lin Ke’s view, even for the sake of Zheng Qinghong, Zheng Honghu wouldn’t miss the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on this matter, she had initially maintained a neutral position, settling things objectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, because of Bai Xiaosheng, her own inclinations had grown somewhat, and she was also interested in watching the excitement unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what she never expected was that Zheng Honghu actually found Chen Jiuzheng’s actions to be unobjectionable—no punishment necessary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, Officer Lin Ke frowned slightly and spoke frankly to Zheng Honghu, “Great Official Zheng Honghu, regarding this matter, I have some differing opinions from you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Affairs Department, Officer Lin Ke was recognized for her straightforwardness and her young girl appearance, which naturally made her unafraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, her relationship with Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Qi of the Greater China Region was well-known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Senior Affairs Officer would give her some leeway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Officer Lin Ke believes this matter is serious, then let’s report it to Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia.” Zheng Honghu said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he had been waiting for Officer Lin Ke to say just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So be it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officer Lin Ke was fed up with their kind of calculative scheming that plotted three steps ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded at once, expressionless, and said, “Fine, let the old man decide!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the conversation reaching this point, Zheng Honghu stood up calmly, took the report, and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officer Lin Ke followed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the office, they went straight to look for Xiahou Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Zheng Honghu’s expression was calm, but his eyes twinkled subtly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xiahou Qi was reprimanding and warning him, so it wasn’t the time to make more formidable enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the situation was also an opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lucky it was Officer Lin Ke on duty who found this report, saving me a lot of trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, I would have had to work out a way to show this document to Xiahou Qi,” Zheng Honghu mused to himself, a hint of a smile in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Senior Affairs Officer and an Affairs Officer together proceeded to Xiahou Qi’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, everyone they passed greeted the two officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the scenes, everyone’s gazes were filled with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two are seeking Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia; is there an issue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Official Zheng Honghu, Officer Lin Ke…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>both are extremely special figures!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their going together could very well mean that something big is about to happen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many speculated privately, with countless eyes following them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Honghu and Officer Lin Ke arrived outside Xiahou Qi’s office, where Zheng Honghu knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a deep voice from inside said, “Come in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Honghu and Officer Lin Ke entered one after the other; behind the desk, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia looked up to see them and immediately smiled, “Honghu, Lin Ke, what brings you here to see me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia’s attitude toward Zheng Honghu was exceedingly amiable, unlike the rumors that circulated outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was also warm, devoid of any targeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Xia, just now Officer Lin Ke brought me a report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s from Chen Jiuzheng, the head of industry for Anjiang Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have differing opinions on how to handle this report, so we came to seek your guidance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Honghu stepped forward quickly, smiling as he laid out the situation, and handed the report across to Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia’s desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Honghu, before Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Qi, behaved just like a student, his words and actions utterly respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, what report that you cannot handle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there has been a difference of opinion?” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Qi smiled, took the document, and glanced at Officer Lin Ke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The general content of this report is…” Officer Lin Ke briefly recounted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Qi put on his reading glasses, nodded slightly as he listened to Officer Lin Ke’s account, and flipped through the pages of the report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a quarter of an hour later, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Qi put down the report, took off his reading glasses, folded them, and placed them on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regarding this report, what are your opinions?” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Qi asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Honghu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suppose that this matter is too much of a coincidence, but then again, it could just be a momentary oversight by Chen Jiuzheng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The regulations for this assessment, regarding whether the person in charge of the provincial industry may intervene, indeed do not explicitly state any restriction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Chen Jiuzheng can make a report and explain, seems to represent an attitude of openness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for whether Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jiutian is aware, I can’t say…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Officer Lin Ke listened, the more she frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Honghu was plainly playing both sides, letting both positives and negatives work in his favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in the end, should they punish Chen Jiuzheng and others or not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Xia, I think we should issue a warning to Chen Jiuzheng, and deduct corresponding points from Mu Beichen!” Officer Lin Ke couldn’t help but say, “Great Official Zheng Honghu simply feels there might be a misunderstanding, and innocent parties could be wrongly punished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well then, we focus on the issue, not the individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This approach can’t be wrong, can it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officer Lin Ke’s words were forceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Honghu first chuckled, “Officer Lin, indeed young and capable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this praise, he seemed to agree with Officer Lin Ke’s approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Qi pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “Chen Jiuzheng’s report is logical, well-founded, and gives us a sufficient reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He does not mind reporting at such a moment and is not worried about damaging Mu Beichen’s assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This forthrightness is comforting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should we speculate wildly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Beichen took advantage of this opportunity, decisively employed strategy, and achieved commendable results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His decisiveness and directness are precisely what we wish to see in the leaders of provincial industries.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Qi actually expressed a positive attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Officer Lin Ke was about to argue, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Qi raised his hand to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now, Honghu mentioned you had differing opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officer Lin Ke advocates for punishment, and Honghu seems to lean towards not imposing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I will make a unified decision,” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiahou Qi said cheerfully, “How about this: you may reply that ‘the situation is acknowledged, and in light of the timely and honest report, no punishment will be administered to Chen Jiuzheng or Mu Beichen’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officer Lin Ke was stunned and speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia, though not speaking golden words, definitely made a conclusive decision on this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officer Lin Ke, unable to vocalize her thoughts, silently shot him a disapproving glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia seemed not to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since Elder Xia has made a decision, I will go and handle it,” Zheng Honghu smiled, gave Officer Lin Ke a look, and left on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once outside, Zheng Honghu returned to his own office, his gaze flickering uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems my thoughts are correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xia will not act rashly before it’s time to move against the Chen Family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In terms of cunning, patience, and scheming, this old man always commands my utmost admiration!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right now, he’s targeting me; I must be even more careful, not make a single misstep, and avoid making powerful enemies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, this is actually an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I stand together with the Chen Family, how would Elder Xia react then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Honghu whispered with a smile, “This is a risky move!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, I like it!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1332,"2026-06-05T17:42:44.445Z",1,"novelbin.me","54e54c880de483c046145aff65c356597bb9a33f03a23694ffed387e277a236e","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-778","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-776",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
