When they arrived at the courtyard, the moonlight was getting denser and the dew aura was starting to rise.

Naturally, it was not appropriate to eat pastries outside. He just took a casual walk and ate some. Wang Hui no longer talked about Mu Zhengtang. He only talked about romance and snowy moons. On the other hand, Yan Jiucheng was also poetic and elegant. It seemed that the three of them were here to chant poems and have fun tonight.

Gaoleng was a wise man, so he didn’t want to talk about it and didn’t ask any more questions.

“Alright then, it’s so late. Sorry to bother you.” After drinking some tea and eating some snacks, Gaoleng stood up and said goodbye. Wang Hui still didn’t say anything. He only took a deep look at Yan Jiucheng and smiled, “Ninety percent. Send it to President Gao.”

“No, no, no. I drove. It’s too late.” Gaoleng thought that Wang Hui would casually say something and quickly declined.

“That won’t do. Your car won’t drive into the alley, will it? Ninety percent, take it all the way.” Wang Hui’s persistence made Gaoleng understand a bit. He hurriedly nodded and left the room.

What did Mu Zhengtang want Yan Jiucheng to reveal? Gaoleng thought to himself. After leaving, he looked around. It was already three o’clock in the morning. The alley was quiet. Yan Jiucheng did not follow him. It could be seen that Mu Zhengtang was telling him something.

Gaoleng waited. About a minute or two later, Yan Jiucheng walked out with a smile and a box of snacks in his hand. “I just took some snacks from Elder Rao. I’ve wasted some time. Here.”

As he spoke, the two walked side by side. Gaoleng did not speak first. Since Wang Hui had purposely asked Yan Jiucheng to send them off, Yan Jiucheng would speak up. He was afraid that he had committed a crime by asking. Just like before, Wang Hui’s expression changed the moment he finished speaking of Secretary Fang.

Gaoleng was afraid that Secretary Fang had nothing to do with Wang Hui.

Previously, because he was too blunt and talkative, he had committed a crime. This time, Gaoleng learned his lesson. He did not speak and the two of them walked quietly.

“President Gao.” Seeing Gaoleng’s calm expression, Yan Jiucheng took the lead and said, “Actually, everyone knows that Mu Zhengtang definitely doesn’t have that much corruption. He is holding a high and stepping on a low sea.”

“Yes.”

“Besides, Mu Zhengtang has been the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission for several years. There are too many people who have offended him.” Yan Jiucheng stopped and looked around before continuing, “You said that he wasn’t responsible for a few of the national projects he reported. The problem is that he was involved. There are people who want to be cleansed and detain him. There are also people who want to be cleansed.”

“Yes.” Gaoleng cherished his words like gold. It seemed that Wang Hui already knew what was going on, but he didn’t pay any attention to who it was. However, he acted as an expert and directly broke it. It was really a trick.

When Yan Jiucheng saw that Gaoleng was getting better, he nodded his head and continued, “However, I really didn’t expect you to analyze that Mu Zhengtang had at least been held hostage for 600 million yuan.” As he said that, he stopped and handed the pastry to Gaoleng. “But even if he was really detained for so many crimes, he was still corrupt. It’s just a matter of how much.”

Yan Jiucheng was right.

Mu Zhengtang was corrupt, but not that much.

“He won’t be able to salvage it.” Yan Jiucheng sighed and leaned closer to Gaoleng and whispered, “But if the 600 million yuan is really cleared and the embezzled money is handed over, there is no problem in commuting the sentence.”

Gaoleng took the pastry.

So far, Yan Jiucheng has not revealed any important information, which made Gaoleng somewhat disappointed.

“As for my teacher, he has successfully retired. Look, the Caesar Group has been taken away by the rotting meat case. He has also been assigned to a good official position in the business association. There is no need for him to get involved in this mess again.” Yan Jiucheng knew that Gaoleng was disappointed and explained, “Previously, I was thinking that Mu Zhengtang wasn’t corrupt. It was at least a friend of mine, so I helped him. Now that he is definitely corrupt, then…”

“It’s already extremely righteous of President Wang to risk calling me here while everyone is stepping on Mu Zhengtang.” Gaoleng was speaking from the bottom of his heart. He knew that Wang Hui had contributed a lot to pushing the Caesar Group out of the empire. The current position in the business association was a position that would give him peace and well-being for the rest of his life. Don’t ask about politics, you can live without worries about food and clothing.

He didn’t need to touch Mu Zhengtang’s muddy waters, but he did.

“Do you know why I call President Wang teacher?” All of a sudden, Yan Jiucheng blinked at Gaoleng.

Gaoleng became alert. What did Yan Jiucheng mean by that?

“Why?” He hurriedly asked.

“Actually, I don’t like calligraphy.” Yan Jiucheng leaned against the wall of the hutong mansion and lit a cigarette. After looking around, he took a puff and pointed in the direction of the old mansion. “But Wang Hui likes calligraphy. He likes calligraphy, but I have to like it too, right? I have to learn from him, so he’s my teacher.”

Yan Jiucheng took another puff. “It was ten years ago. I just returned to China and my father wanted me to be his teacher. What kind of treasures in the study, what kind of writing ink, paper and inkstone? I played with my teacher thoroughly. At that time, he still had a few students. Now, he has been assigned to various places to do well.”

Gaoleng stood beside Yan Jiucheng and read his words.

In the official circles, there were many relationships between teachers and students. Some of the officials who had teaching experience in colleges and universities when they did not soar, often promoted their own students. This was already the routine of the official circles. Without any college experience, he would often promote some of his alumni. Promote family and friends? If he really reached a certain level, how could there be so many relatives that could be promoted? Of all the outstanding seeds, he naturally had to promote those who were close to him.

When you’re not an alumni, a student, or any of his other relationships, how do you pull that emotional strings?

In the eyes of those who wanted to climb up, the official’s elegance was a very good bridge.

An official likes photography, okay! As long as you go out to shoot flowers and grass, I will help you with the equipment, the beautiful name: I also like photography, but I did not shoot well, then I came to learn technology.

Yes, I like photography officials. Even if he patted a pile of shit, there must be four or five disciples behind his butt.

Therefore, there would always be one or two exhibitions of photographic works in the prefecture-level cities. Their works weren’t very good, but they were exceptionally popular.

If you encounter a similar exhibition of photographs, you don’t have to guess. It must have been opened by some photography-loving official, ‘Disciple’. Of course. What’s the point of opening a photo exhibition? It was also common for teachers to get expensive and good photographic equipment and give them to play with, so that they could practice their lenses first.

This isn’t bribery. I’ve agreed. I’m just playing around. I just didn’t say how long I’ll play around.

“However, my teacher’s calligraphy is not like other people’s. He is really awesome.” Yan Jiucheng’s words were true. Wang Hui’s hard writing was indeed perfect. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have a good personal relationship with Elder Rao.

Elder Rao, a national treasure artist, was the most elegant. He didn’t like to play with ink, ink, paper, inkstone, and flashy postures. It could be seen that Wang Hui was truly capable.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Be careful on your way.” Yan Jiucheng clicked his finger and stopped talking.

Gao Leng nodded. He knew that Wang Hui had shown him the way, but he had to figure out what path he was pointing at.

Why do officials like to be vague? Protect yourself.

This could be said to be pointing the way, or it could be said to not be pointing the way. If Gaoleng really stirred up a storm in the bureaucracy, he, Wang Hui, could also say, ‘I’m not involved in this’ to protect himself.

However, what did Yan Jiucheng mean by that? Gaoleng looked at Yan Jiucheng’s back, his eyes darkened, and he lowered his hair to send a text message.
