Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

What Wang Xiaohua needed Zhang Sheng and Niu Chunsheng to do was very simple: when the time came, if the Discipline Inspection Commission investigated that fundraising matter from back then, everyone who had donated money had to unify their story and alter the donation amounts; in short, the total sum donated by everyone in the end would be 1.3 million, of which 1 million was used to establish the Student Aid Foundation, and the remaining 300,000 was directly rewarded to Wang Xiaohua.

As long as everyone unified their story, even if the Discipline Inspection Commission investigated, they wouldn't find anything.

Because this did not involve the government's internal financial accounts, and the various pieces of evidence from back then also proved that 300,000 was indeed given to Wang Xiaohua, and another 1 million established the Wang Xiaohua Scholarship Fund; as long as the figures could match the accounts, and the donors had no objections, and Wang Xiaohua who accepted the donations also had no objections, then even if the Discipline Inspection Commission clearly knew there was something fishy inside, it would be very difficult to find substantive evidence.

However, this merely dismantled Liu Xinwen's offensive; it was a defensive move.

To defeat Liu Xinwen, just this bit of maneuvering was far from enough.

So how to defeat Liu Xinwen?

Liu Xinwen's interest connections in the county town were deeply entrenched; if one wanted to uproot him completely, it was obviously unrealistic.

Because if the move was too big, even if Liu Xinwen didn't counterattack, those vested interests connected to him would actively step forward to protect him.

So attacking Liu Xinwen required targeting the one weak point related to himself, without dragging too many people into it.

And the weak point involving only Liu Xinwen was obviously his daughter Liu Yumeng!

The various operations by which Liu Yumeng entered this circle were obviously suspected of violations.

Moreover, these violations were very obvious, unlike Wang Xiaohua's exceptional promotion which had sound reasoning and evidence.

So as long as this point about Liu Yumeng was grasped, Liu Xinwen would definitely fall into a passive position.

As for how to grasp it?

Still needed to wait for an opportunity.

And at this time, the other side.

The Liu Family.

Liu Xinwen was in the study writing calligraphy.

Liu Lianqiang stood respectfully before him.

"Fourth Uncle, I really don't understand. That project in Shangang Town, although not very big and not very lucrative, it was meat delivered to your lips, yet you insist on making me spit it out. Just what is the reason for this?"

Liu Xinwen concentrated on writing calligraphy, not even lifting his head:

"Some meat, whether it's poisonous or not, big or small, fat or lean, has not the slightest relation. In short, don't you go touching that Shangang Town real estate project. That is a backup move I'm keeping for myself, just afraid that when this backup move is played out, it will drag you into it."

"What backup move?" Liu Lianqiang froze, utterly puzzled.

Liu Xinwen, however, didn't explain directly, just seriously finished writing the last character on the Choose paper, then set down the brush:

"You are outside the system. Some things you shouldn't know, it's best not to go inquiring about randomly. Knowing too much is instead of no benefit to you. In short, just one sentence: your Fourth Uncle I could never harm you. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have supported you from behind the scenes, and your Lianqiang Building Materials wouldn't have been able to monopolize the county town's building materials business."

Liu Lianqiang hurriedly said:

"Fourth Uncle, you're right. That I have today, thanks to Fourth Uncle, thanks to the family's support behind the scenes."

Liu Xinwen then said:

"Recently, the undercurrents are quite strong. Whether in how you conduct yourself or handle affairs outside, you must keep a low profile for me. Don't go creating any messy situations for me, otherwise we won't be able to help you clean them up easily. Understand?"

Liu Lianqiang nodded like pounding garlic:

"Understood, understood. I'll keep a low profile in conduct, keep a low profile in affairs. Even if I suffer a loss, I won't quibble over so much!"

Liu Xinwen waved his hand:

"Go on down. Nothing more to say to you."

Liu Lianqiang said his farewells and left.

Liu Xinwen's expression was heavy, deep in thought.

In two more days, the Discipline Inspection Commission would be coming over. Just didn't know what Wang Xiaohua would do?

If he doesn't play this move, then sorry, Liu Xinwen would have someone else help him play this move.

In short, reporting Xiao Xueqing — this matter absolutely must be done. Not only must it be done, but it must be done with great fanfare.

Because power struggles, once started, can only advance, not retreat. There's no other choice.

Additionally, Liu Xinwen had already guessed that Xiao Xueqing would likely take countermeasures.

As for what Xiao Xueqing's countermeasures would be?

Liu Xinwen thought for a long time, and concluded that Xiao Xueqing would very likely use his nephew Liu Lianqiang to make a fuss. After all, Liu Lianqiang's Lianqiang Building Materials had monopolized almost the entire county town's building materials business. This kind of thing, as long as the Discipline Inspection Commission investigated seriously, would absolutely be able to dig up something bad.

This was also the important reason why Liu Xinwen reminded Liu Lianqiang to keep a low profile in conduct and affairs recently.

Additionally, he secretly resolved that if Liu Lianqiang really was investigated, he would probably have to sacrifice a limb to save the body — swiftly cut ties with Liu Lianqiang and mobilize the family's power to suppress this matter.

He believed the Liu Family would definitely protect him, Liu Xinwen, the county's Finance Bureau Chief, rather than protect Liu Lianqiang, this building materials businessman in the gray zone.

"Dad, you're writing calligraphy again?"

At this moment Liu Yumeng walked in, picked up the work Liu Xinwen had just written to look at it:

"Rarely confused, suffering a loss is a blessing!"

"Dad, do you really think suffering a loss is a good thing?"

Liu Yumeng asked this one sentence.

Liu Xinwen then said:

"Suffering a loss is of course not a good thing, but displaying the appearance of 'suffering a loss is a blessing' in front of outsiders — that absolutely is a good thing, and moreover requires great wisdom."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Yumeng was completely baffled, didn't understand at all.

Liu Xinwen then said:

"Just like 'rarely confused' — if you're truly confused, you'll become a laughing stock, but if your mind is clear as a mirror yet you're good at pretending to be confused, then others not only won't dare laugh at you, they'll even look at you with newfound respect, feeling your realm is very high."

Liu Yumeng suddenly realized:

"Dad, I understand, this is actually the way of being an official, right?"

Liu Yumeng truly lived up to her natural intelligence, realizing so fast.

Liu Xinwen was very satisfied with this:

"Yumeng, whether our branch can walk out of the County Town in the future, and fight for a big breath of pride in the clan, all depends on you."

"What about you?"

"Me, I've already reached the top, this life's ceiling stops here, in the future I'll use all my resources to prop you up, letting you take a small step every three years, a big step every five years, go to the City, even go to the Province, you must not disappoint my expectations for you!"

Liu Yumeng was very confident, laughing as she said:

"Dad, you can rest assured! I definitely won't disappoint your expectations, in the future I'll certainly surpass Xiao Hua, become a very very big official!"

Liu Xinwen laughed even more satisfied, but also reminded Liu Yumeng:

"Speaking of Xiao Hua, don't look at how he seems harmless on the surface, but actually he's not any kind of easy target, so you must guard against him a bit, don't end up falling into his hands."

Liu Yumeng didn't take it to heart, laughing as she answered:

"Rest easy, only I have the part of playing Xiao Hua, where would there be Xiao Hua playing me?"
