"Brother Feng, do you think I'm destined to die?"
Li Hongling said with a smile.
"Otherwise? You're Chinese, don't you know that in China, drugs and arms are absolutely forbidden? Even immortals would die if they touched them!"
Chen Feng said sternly.
"Brother Feng, things are not what you imagine."
Li Hongling continued to say calmly.
"Not what I imagine? Hundreds of tanks were caught red-handed in a warehouse, and you tell me it's not what I imagine?"
Chen Feng didn't know what to say.
He seriously suspected that Li Hongling had gone mad.
Yes, it was very likely she had gone mad.
Suddenly making her the head of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Ming City, and as a woman, she couldn't handle it, and then she became flustered and driven crazy.
Women are quite different from men.
Men can adapt to the political arena quickly.
Most women are still meant to be housewives at heart. They just take care of children, sweep the floor, and don't need to use their brains.
When it comes to thinking, women are indeed inferior to men.
"I did buy hundreds of tanks..."
Li Hongling said calmly.
"Isn't that it? The evidence is conclusive, and it's too late to say anything."
Chen Feng interrupted emotionally.
"Brother Feng, don't get excited."
"How can I not be excited? You are my god-sister, and you have always helped me diligently. If you suddenly die, how can I not be excited? How about this, don't say anything else, I'll take you to escape now, and let's get out of the control of the Ministry of State Security first."
Chen Feng said seriously.
"Escape? Brother Feng, this won't do. This is not an ordinary case; it's a case handled by the Ministry of State Security. Once we escape, we'll have to live as fugitives for the rest of our lives."
Li Hongling felt a warmth in her heart.
They say adversity reveals true feelings.
In this test of life and death, this man chose to risk his life to save her without hesitation.
"Fugitives it is, but it's better than you dying."
Chen Feng said seriously.
"What about your political ambitions?"
Li Hongling deliberately asked again.
"Ambitions are important, of course, but life is paramount. I can't care about anything else."
Chen Feng replied without thinking.
"Brother Feng, you're wrong to think like this, really. You should know that in the political arena, one must be ruthless and loveless. Sentimentality will only make you farther and farther away from the political heights."
Li Hongling said seriously.
"Xiao Ling, I understand what you're saying. But I can't do it. If the path to the political heights requires me to sacrifice the life of the woman I love, then such political heights are not worth it."
Chen Feng replied seriously.
"Brother Feng, do you really mean that?"
Li Hongling really wanted to cry.
She never expected this man to be willing to give up his path to the political heights for a working-class woman like her.
If a novel were written like this, it would make readers feel a strong sense of unreality.
"Of course it's true! Alright, let's not talk about these irrelevant things. While the police station still trusts me, I'll quickly take you away from here."
Chen Feng said sternly.
"Brother Feng, I'm not going."
Li Hongling said with tears.
"Silly sister, if you don't leave now, you'll die. Even immortals can't save you."
Chen Feng said anxiously.
"Brother Feng, actually, I really don't need to die."
Li Hongling smiled through tears.
"Xiao Ling, why don't you understand? Smuggling hundreds of tanks of arms, let alone you being destined to die, even I would be destined to die."
"Brother Feng, don't get excited, let me explain slowly. In fact, this batch of tanks are obsolete main battle tanks, main battle tanks from fifty years ago, which were placed in a tank graveyard abroad. I bought them back in the form of scrap metal, and then resold them after dismantling them into iron. I can make a lot of money. The iron used in tanks is good iron."
Li Hongling explained.
"This is also possible?"
Chen Feng was stunned.
"Of course it is. Moreover, this batch of tanks has the signature and approval of the military. As long as the Ministry of State Security confirms that the signature is genuine, they will let me go."
Li Hongling explained.
Just as Chen Feng was about to say something, people from the Ministry of State Security suddenly came and announced that Li Hongling could leave.
With the ironclad facts before him, Chen Feng had to accept such an unbelievable reality.
At the same time, he was impressed by Li Hongling's courage and innovation.
Business is indeed about the bold getting rich and the timid starving.
"Xiao Ling, I admire you more and more now."
On the way from the police station to the hotel for dinner, Chen Feng said to Li Hongling while driving.
"Brother Feng, what do you admire about me?"
Li Hongling asked happily.
"I admire your courage, and even more your pioneering and innovation. It's amazing, you actually thought of dismantling arms and selling them as scrap metal."
Chen Feng said truthfully.
"Brother Feng, you flatter me. In fact, it was just a flash of inspiration. That day, I was browsing the internet and suddenly saw a news report about a tank graveyard, and then I thought of this scrap metal business. As for how I communicated with the military, it's thanks to the political knowledge I learned from you, Brother Feng. I have to say, Brother Feng, your political tactics are really effective!"
Li Hongling replied with a smile.
Being praised by the man she liked was sweeter than eating honey.
"Xiao Ling, you are now the head of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Ming City. You should focus your energy on the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. You can put aside the business of my companies."
Chen Feng said seriously.
"Brother Feng, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Just like this time, I only initiated the tank deal. The actual operation was done by my former subordinates. By the way, speaking of subordinates, I seem to have something to discuss with you..."
Li Hongling said seriously.
"Tell me anything you need to."
"I am not with the company now; I am with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Ming City. Most of the company's affairs are handled by subordinates, and I am only responsible for the general direction. To ensure the company continues to maintain high-speed growth, I want to adopt an incentive system. If the company maintains high-speed growth every year, with a three-year term, they will be given company shares. What do you think?"
"No."
Chen Feng pretended to be very serious and said.
"Okay, then I'll think of another way."
Li Hongling was stunned for a moment.
"A three-year term is too long; it's just drawing a big picture. Talented people who are really capable are not fooled by drawing big pictures. My intention is to give them company shares now."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Oh my, Brother Feng, you're so bad, you scared me. I thought you really didn't appreciate my plan. I said, Brother Feng, you have such a big vision, how could you not understand my plan."
Li Hongling said excitedly.
Then, the two of them talked while entering the hotel room...
After three hours, Chen Feng got dressed and took Li Hongling back to the Ming City government building.
"Chen Feng, how is your god-sister's matter?"
As soon as Chen Feng entered his office, Qin Yan rushed in nervously.
Chen Feng didn't beat around the bush and explained the origin of the hundreds of tanks to Qin Yan.
Qin Yan was both happy and disappointed.
She was happy that Chen Feng's god-sister was fine, and Chen Feng no longer had to worry about her.
She was disappointed that Li Hongling was becoming more and more capable, and Chen Feng was relying on her more and more, making her, the so-called mayor of Ming City, less and less charming.
"Chen Feng, Li Hongling, and Wang Ziwei, these two women are becoming more and more capable and can help you more and more. I feel very uncomfortable about this. No, I must do something for you, or I won't be able to sleep."
Qin Yan said seriously.
"Mayor Qin, do you really want to do something for me?"
Chen Feng's eyes burst with brilliance.
Next, there was a very important matter that required Qin Yan to handle.
"A million percent yes."
Qin Yan said firmly.
"Mayor Qin, if I wanted you to sleep with another man as the mayor, would you be willing?"
Chen Feng deliberately tested Qin Yan.
