Chapter 674: Director Liang Has His Ways of Making Money!

Director Qiao Lin of the County Government Office was currently eating with Liang Yuan.

The two chatted about the new Executive Deputy County Magistrate, and Liang Yuan took the opportunity to bring up wanting to find a chance to pay a visit to Tang Ye.

And so.

Qiao Lin was happy to see it happen, helped Liang Yuan make the connection, and directly requested an audience with Tang Ye.

Although the Coal Bureau was not under Tang Ye's direct jurisdiction, Tang Ye, as Executive Deputy County Magistrate, held real power in his hands, especially the management rights over the two crucial departments: the Finance Bureau and the Tax Bureau.

The Finance Bureau was responsible for coordinating the budget, while the Tax Bureau controlled the collection and supervision of corporate taxes.

If these two departments intended to set up obstacles for you, life would not be easy.

"What is the new County Magistrate Tang's temper like? Does he have any preferences?" Liang Yuan asked Qiao Lin with a smile.

Qiao Lin replied: "He looks quite amiable, but he is very cautious in his conduct and exceptionally earnest in his work."

Liang Yuan, however, said dismissively: "New officials always put on a show when they take office. Once he gets familiar with the environment, he will naturally mingle with everyone. County Magistrate Tang came to work in a foreign place all by himself without bringing his family; his life must be exceptionally dull and boring. As subordinates, we should have been helping the leader solve his problems. Director Qiao, you haven't done your part here!"

Qiao Lin gave Liang Yuan a look of annoyance: "How do you know I didn't do the work? I was just offering a warm face to a cold butt; I tried to butter him up and ended up kicking the horse's leg!"

"Our county purchased a few Audi cars last year. I originally thought about assigning one for his use, but he didn't appreciate it at all and even criticized me severely."

Liang Yuan burst into laughter after hearing this: "No wonder you frown whenever the new County Magistrate is mentioned. Don't worry, no matter how firm a person's willpower is, they always have a weak spot. Besides, he is due to be transferred in two years anyway."

Qiao Lin picked up his wine glass, took a sullen sip, and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, how is that matter with Lu Guiping being handled now? A few days ago, the Deputy Minister of the Municipal Organization Department sent Tang Ye to take office and happened to run into that scene. Secretary Ou was furious at the time; you must take this matter to heart."

Liang Yuan sighed helplessly: "Lu Guiping is too greedy. He thinks that mine was developed by his own hand and insists on hogging it all for himself. I previously specifically had someone hint to him that he needs to understand the principle of 'everyone makes money together,' but this guy simply doesn't understand the ways of the world. Look at Boss Gao now; he is so sensible."

Qiao Lin felt there were too many eyes and ears at the dining table, so he used his eyes to stop Liang Yuan from continuing, only whispering a warning: "No matter what method you use, you must make him recognize reality."

Liang Yuan nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, isn't dealing with him simple? I just thought he couldn't amount to anything and didn't want to waste energy on him."

Just then, Liang Yuan's cell phone rang, and a girl's voice came from the other end.

He answered the phone: "Sanni, Dad is entertaining right now, eating with your Uncle Qiao. Is something the matter?"

"I dropped my phone today and the screen shattered; I want to get a new one. I have my eye on a Samsung flip phone; it's only a little over five thousand."

"Didn't you just buy your phone last year? Why do you want to change it again? You're already working, why are you still reaching out to me for money?"

"Dad, stop playing dumb! You secretly just bought a new apartment in the city for my younger brother... I ask you for a phone, and you're this reluctant?" The daughter was immediately unhappy, her tone full of grievance.

"Alright, alright, I must have done something wicked in my past life for you all to come and collect debts from me." Liang Yuan hung up the phone helplessly.

Seeing this, Qiao Lin teased: "Old Liang, that was your third daughter calling, right?"

Liang Yuan sighed helplessly: "Among all the children, the third one is the most troublesome."

Qiao Lin smiled and comforted him: "That just shows that the third one is closest to you, otherwise she wouldn't dare to act so spoiled with you."

Liang Yuan lamented: "I still envy you; having too many children is really not a good thing."

Qiao Lin and Liang Yuan had known each other for many years and knew each other inside and out.

According to national regulations, civil servants were supposed to follow the one-child policy, but Liang Yuan had played some edge-ball tactics and exploited loopholes in the policy.

He had a disabled younger brother who never married or had children, so he had his second daughter adopted by his brother;

Afterward, he divorced twice, and just like that, he cleverly utilized policy loopholes to give birth to four children and successfully avoided accountability.

After the dinner ended, Liang Yuan had just returned home when he received another text message bombardment from his third daughter.

He helplessly dialed Boss Gao's number: "Old Gao, are you busy now? Those two bottles of Fen liquor you gave me last time were quite good. I was hosting Director Qiao from the County Government Office today, and he also couldn't stop praising the wine. Do you have any channels to help me get two cases?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Gao understood that Liang Yuan was short on money.

"Director Liang, are you at home now? I happen to have a few cases in stock at home; shall I send them over to you right now?"

"That would be great, sorry to trouble you for the trip." Liang Yuan was secretly delighted, feeling that Boss Gao was indeed sensible; he didn't need to spell things out, just a slight hint and he knew what to do.

A person like this deserves to make a fortune.

Twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Boss Gao carried two cases of Fen liquor upstairs, panting with exhaustion.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead while smiling and greeting him.

In fact, moving wine was something that could be left to subordinates, but he insisted on doing it himself just to leave a good impression on Liang Yuan.

"Old Gao, sorry to trouble you to make a trip late at night."

Because Boss Gao hadn't exercised in a long time, he was a bit out of breath when he spoke: "Director Liang usually takes such good care of me; it's rare that you have a need, so I definitely have to get things done properly."

Liang Yuan patted Boss Gao on the shoulder: "Come in and sit for a while, and have a cup of tea while you're at it."

Boss Gao followed Liang Yuan into the living room, took the teacup, and gulped down a large mouthful before he caught his breath.

At this moment, Liang Yuan's expression suddenly became serious: "Old Gao, I ate with Director Qiao today, and that meal had to do with you."

Boss Gao immediately showed a look of surprise: "Director Liang, what exactly is going on?"

Liang Yuan sighed: "Isn't it because of that mine you just won? Lu Guiping keeps harping on it. A few days ago, he went to the County Government to petition and happened to be run into by the leaders from the city."

Upon hearing this, Boss Gao gritted his teeth and said: "That Lu Guiping! If it weren't for someone stopping me, I would have wanted to deal with him long ago!"

Liang Yuan solemnly instructed: "This matter must be handled cleanly, otherwise it will lead to big problems sooner or later."

Boss Gao guaranteed with full confidence: "Please rest assured, Director Liang, I will definitely handle it well and never let you worry. By the way, the first bottle in the first case is the oldest and tastes the best; it can be used for collection."

After Boss Gao left, Liang Yuan opened the wine case and took out one of the wine boxes.

Opening it, he saw it was stuffed with bundles of cash, and a look of satisfaction immediately appeared in his eyes.

He then sent a message to his third daughter: "I'll wire the money to you tomorrow morning; don't bother me all the time in the future!"

Soon, the phone received a reply: "Thank you, dearest Dad, I love you the most!"

"What a debt-collecting ghost!" Liang Yuan said this, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a smile.

None of these children were easy to worry about, but occasionally they could bring him some joy.

The next morning.

Around ten o'clock.

Liang Yuan arrived at the County Government to pay a visit to Tang Ye's faction...
