Chapter 339: The Chess Player

"What are you two whispering about?" Cheng Zhanjun looked back. "Hurry up and come in. I've been so busy I didn't even have time to eat at noon. I was planning to go home early, but then you two came."

Zhou Andong grinned, entered the office, took out all the videotapes from his bag, and lined them up neatly on the desk.

Cheng Zhanjun asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

Zhou Andong picked one up. "Find a device, and you'll know once you watch it."

Cheng Zhanjun shouted, "Zhang Yang!"

Secretary Zhang Yang came in from next door. "Leader!"

Cheng Zhanjun said, "Is there any equipment to play this kind of micro-videotape?"

Zhang Yang shook his head. "No, we have to borrow it from the TV station."

Cheng Zhanjun said, "Call the TV station and have them send the equipment over. There's a TV in the No. 3 small conference room; have them install it."

"Understood!" Zhang Yang left quickly.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Yang returned. "Leader, the equipment is installed."

"Let's go!" Cheng Zhanjun stood up and walked out.

The No. 3 conference room was at the very end of the corridor on the same floor as Cheng Zhanjun's office. Zhou Andong and Gu Bing followed Cheng Zhanjun into the conference room.

There were two TV station staff members inside. After Zhou Andong clarified how to operate it, he said, "You two go out and wait for a while."

The two staff members turned and left the conference room, closing the door behind them.

Zhou Andong put the videotape into the playback device. The TV screen was pitch black, but a noisy sound came from the speakers. After just a few seconds, the image appeared.

The camera was a bit shaky, and it was a bit dark around, clearly something was obstructing the lens, but the center image was very clear. Many figures appeared in the frame, along with various gambling tables; one could tell at a glance it was a casino.

The camera moved forward slowly, occasionally pausing in front of a certain gambling table. After more than ten minutes, the camera suddenly shook violently, then quickly stabilized, and the image became even clearer.

The previous images were all of lower bodies, but now faces could finally be seen. Many people were surrounding a gambling table—some sitting, some standing. There were men and women, fat and thin, tall and short, beautiful and ugly.

Immediately after, the image began to move slowly, and then a person's face appeared.

"Lin Guosheng!" Cheng Zhanjun exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, they heard Lin Guosheng laugh loudly, very boldly picking up two chips and stuffing them into the bra of a bunny girl beside him. Then, he pushed all the chips in front of him out.

"Bet it all on small."

Cheng Zhanjun's face changed. "Where did you get this?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile, "This time, I didn't just go to Hefei; I also went to Xiangjiang and met the head of the Qiudongfang Financial Company, who is a relative of my classmate.

The other party was very polite and took us to play in Aomen for a few days. It was just such a coincidence that we ran into Lin Guosheng, so I got a hidden filming device and followed him for a few days."

Cheng Zhanjun leaned back in his chair, his face gloomy as he pondered something.

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and lit it. "I heard that the Tong family is planning to arrange for someone to come to Jiangzhou to replace Lin Zhimin's position?"

Cheng Zhanjun came back to his senses. "Qin Changzhi has already arrived."

Zhou Andong nodded. "I don't know why your family would tolerate the Tong family installing someone here. But since he has already arrived, he certainly won't be honest and keep his head tucked in his shell.

And Lin Guosheng is a Tong family man; they will definitely collude to do something. So, keep this videotape in hand for now and don't move. When they draw their knives, throw the bomb out."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette leisurely. "At that time, hand the task of throwing the bomb to Qin Changzhi."

Zhang Yang heard this and couldn't help but say, "Lin Guosheng is also a Tong family man; will Qin Changzhi take this job?"

Zhou Andong grinned. "Drop the 'will'; he definitely will, and he won't dare not to."

Cheng Zhanjun looked at Zhou Andong, then at Gu Bing, who was looking blank and confused, listening as if in a fog. He shook his head slightly and sighed secretly.

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment, and his eyes lit up. "This chess move by Factory Director Zhou completely blocks Qin Changzhi's retreat; he has no choice but to take the move."

Gu Bing looked at Zhang Yang. "What did you understand?"

Zhang Yang said, "As long as the leader holds a meeting, lets the other leaders watch the video, and then hands it to Qin Changzhi, letting him be responsible for reporting it to the province—do you think he'll take the job?"

After all, as a child of the compound, he had been influenced since childhood. With just a slight reminder, Gu Bing understood immediately.

"If Qin Changzhi doesn't take it, that means his ideological awareness is problematic, he doesn't follow discipline, lacks a big-picture view, is too selfish, and is disloyal to the organization. Even if the higher-ups don't move against him, his career will stop there. Even with the Tong family's support behind him, it's useless.

If Qin Changzhi takes it, he will definitely be isolated. Think about it: who would dare get too close to someone who, for the sake of his own future, can draw a knife on his own people without hesitation?

Most importantly, Lin Guosheng's matter is too egregious; the higher-ups will definitely punish him severely. Even the Tong family can only watch helplessly, not daring to make any small moves.

But in doing so, it's also a huge blow to the Tong family's reputation. After all, if they can't even protect their own subordinates, what will the people below think? From now on, the team will be hard to lead."

"Not too stupid after all!" Cheng Zhanjun nodded with satisfaction. "What about the other point?"

Gu Bing was stunned. "What else is there?"

Cheng Zhanjun asked Zhang Yang, "What about you?"

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly.

Cheng Zhanjun smiled and said to Zhou Andong, "You add the rest."

"Ah? Me add? Add what?" Zhou Andong looked blank. "Leader, I only thought of this much. Can you think of a deeper level? Hurry up and tell me."

Cheng Zhanjun's face darkened immediately; he really wanted to slap this little bastard in front of him to death. "I don't need you to butter me up. If you don't want to say it, hurry up and get lost."

Zhou Andong laughed dryly. "A leader is a leader; you really see everything clearly. Nothing can be hidden from you. Many times I think, having you, old man, sitting in Jiangzhou is such a blessing for the people of Jiangzhou."

Gu Bing's lip curled to his ears, cursing in his heart. You bastard, you're really good at buttering people up. Don't you feel guilty? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?

Cheng Zhanjun's face grew even darker. Regarding Zhou Andong, he had no choice; he loved and hated him at the same time.

Seeing Cheng Zhanjun's face getting darker, Zhou Andong hurriedly sat up straight. "That, if Qin Changzhi takes this job, it can be considered a great achievement. Then we'll do a good deed and operate a bit to let him move up."

Zhou Andong took a final puff of his cigarette and pressed the butt into the ashtray. "Lin Zhimin is in, and Qin Changzhi ran over happily to take the position. This time, he personally sent Lin Guosheng away; isn't it logical to let him take Lin Guosheng's position?" ===== CHAPTER 340 =====
