Chapter 352: Chapter 352: The Second Meeting with Father-in-Law (10)

Xu Zhilin’s eyes glued on the magazine she was holding, which he certainly remembered. Previously, following Minister Meng’s orders, he and Qiu Wenduo had searched Fang Yongxing’s office and found piles of similar magazines.

These were all the things Fang Yongxing would buy for amusement while on business trips outside, including quite a few of an entertaining nature that were utterly meaningless.

"Hand it over to me. The minister has ordered that after you leave, you must not take away anything from here. Everything here belongs to the Investment Promotion Department," Xu Zhilin said, extending his hand to Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan seemed to hesitate for a moment, and when she handed over the magazine, the corner of her mouth lifted slightly. "I didn’t expect the minister to have such a bad taste. What about you, classmate Xu?"

A shadow crossed Xu Zhilin’s face suddenly.

Gu Nuan swept past him, murmuring softly, "Isn’t it tiring to follow them? Why not change your master?"

Xu Zhilin turned around and glared at her back fiercely but couldn’t catch any expression on her face.

This deaf person?!

When Qiu Wenduo and Tang Qingzhong came back, they saw two newcomers very focused on reviewing documents and nothing seemed amiss. Tang Qingzhong wiped his forehead with his sleeve.

Gu Nuan nodded at him.

After that, they left with the document boxes transferred from the Investment Promotion Department.

Once they were gone, Qiu Wenduo immediately asked Xu Zhilin, "How did it go?"

Xu Zhilin shook his head: Nothing at all.

Qiu Wenduo frowned slightly but was helpless and could only say, "It seems that Fang Yongxing trusts no one. We can only wait for him to return."

Xu Zhilin locked the magazine that Gu Nuan had handed him into his own drawer.

After Xiao Jianming returned to his office, Uncle Tang had just closed the door when he turned around to see Xiao Jianming standing motionless beside his desk, startling him. He ran over, exclaiming, "Chairman?!"

"It’s nothing, get the medicine out, I need to take one," Xiao Jianming said, breathing slightly heavily.

Uncle Tang nodded, immediately took the key, and opened the drawer of the desk, pulling out a bottle of pills. He poured out the last pill, got a cup of water, and helped Xiao Jianming take it, whispering, "The medicine is gone, should I find—"

"No need, didn’t we get two bottles last time? Let’s finish them all before we discuss it further," Xiao Jianming said after taking the pill, his taut face relaxing somewhat.

Uncle Tang nodded, helped him lie down on the couch at the side, and covered him with a coat. Then he stepped out. Before leaving, he cautioned the person guarding the door, "The chairman does not want anyone disturbing him."

"Yes."

Having given instructions, Uncle Tang took the Rolls-Royce car keys, entered the elevator, and hurried down to the underground parking. Looking around to see no one was there, he went to the chairman’s private parking spot, opened the door, and entered.

Using the key, he opened the car door to Xiao Jianming’s private back seat. In the car was a safe with a combination lock. After entering the correct code, the safe opened, and Uncle Tang saw the white bottle of pills, took it out and slipped it into his pocket before relocking the safe.

As he closed the car door, he suddenly heard someone calling out at the entrance, "Dad—"

Uncle Tang turned and saw his son, Tang Shaohong, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Tang Shaohong, Uncle Tang’s son, had, just as Uncle Tang told Xiao Jianming before, utilized Uncle Tang’s connections to join Changda as a driver for the Changda driving team.

With Tang Shaohong’s qualifications, he was still not qualified to be Xiao Jianming’s chauffeur.

"I finished refueling the leader’s car and saw it looked like dad might be here, so I came to check," Tang Shaohong explained, then asked, "Did the chairman leave something in the car?"

"Yes," Uncle Tang hastily took his son away from the parking spot with the remote controller to close the door, and said, "I’m heading back up, concentrate on your work."

"Don’t worry, dad," Tang Shaohong responded loudly.

Once Uncle Tang was gone, he took out his phone from his pocket, pressed on someone’s number. After a few tones, the call was answered, and Tang Shaohong spoke softly to the other side, covering his mouth, "Director Kong, my dad just went into the chairman’s car, and I saw something round in his pocket, possibly a bottle of pills."
