Provincial Party Committee Building, Administrative Building.

The Standing Committee had just adjourned and all the Standing Committee members left one after another. Fang Tianhua was about to leave with his cup of tea when he was stopped by Xue Yuanshan.

"Governor Tianhua, I heard that the provincial government has organized a government inspection team and is leaving tomorrow." Xue Yuanshan asked calmly while sitting in his seat. It was not clear whether he was happy or unhappy on his face.

"Yes, Secretary Yuanshan. This time I went to Haojiang to inspect the SAR government's experience in government affairs coordination and efficiency transfer. Neighboring provinces have already organized an inspection, and it is said that the results have been good, so I am going to lead the team myself this time." Fang Tianhua replied with a smile.

"Okay, it's rare that Governor Tianhua can practice it personally. When he comes back, he can arrange an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee to jointly learn from the advanced experience of the SAR government." Xue Yuanshan said.

"Okay, Secretary Yuanshan." After saying this, Fang Tianhua nodded slightly and left the conference room.

After leaving the provincial party committee compound, Fang Tianhua sat silently in his car. Since Xue Yuanshan's parachute landing, there have been almost no private exchanges between the two. All they have been is the flash of swords in meetings, and the competition between the two has become almost public and intense. Fang Tianhua knew very well that Xue Yuanshan was parachuted in for at least three years and at most five years. Fang Tianhua had already been in office for five years. He thought he could take over the position of No. [-] smoothly, but he did not expect that Xue Yuanshan would show up halfway. Fang Tianhua, who was a little depressed, had no choice but to find another way out, or go to work in a neighboring province to get a promotion.

But no matter which province I go to from the largest province in China, even if I am the top leader, I feel like I am rising and falling.

Then there is only the second way, to go directly to the central ministries and commissions with the aura of being the first province in China. With the business experience of the province with the largest economic volume, Fang Tianhua will be more than enough to serve as the top leader of the economic department. This is what Fang Tianhua has just faced. The reason for being tough on Xue Yuanshan.

Fang Tianhua has basically decided to be transferred to a central ministry in the capital in the second half of the year, so on the one hand, he is transferring assets, and on the other hand, he is arranging his subordinates to avoid Xue Yuanshan's bloodbath after he leaves.

Although he had already predicted that his former subordinates would be bloodbathed, now he could only count them one by one.

At this time, Xue Yuanshan was standing in front of the window of his office of the Provincial Party Committee, looking at Fang Tianhua's leaving figure in the car. A rare smile appeared on his lips, and he heard Xue Yuanshan murmur, "Fang Tianhua, have a good trip!"

Two planes took off from Baiyun Airport the next day, one was Ye Fang's private plane and the other was a chartered plane. Fang Tianhua, Gong Yimin, He Wenqiang, Lang Wenyao, and Zhou Guanglong were on Ye Fang's private plane, and the other one was full of other members of the tour group. It only took a blink of an eye from Baiyun Airport to Haojiang Airport, and soon the two planes landed at Haojiang International Airport.

Feng Liping brought fifteen Rolls-Royces and lined them up on the tarmac with an astonishing momentum. Fang Tianhua got off the plane and said it was too showy, but the corners of his mouth were already raised to the sky.

"Liping, what's going on in the casino now?" Ye Fang called Feng Liping over and asked.

"The first phase of the casino project has been completed and can be put into use now. I have prepared the opening work, but it can only be used for business now. The accommodation and entertainment venues are in the second and third phases of the project, so this time Boss Fang They arranged it in Lisboa and booked an entire floor according to your instructions." Feng Liping reported in a low voice while watching everyone on the plane get on the bus.

"Okay, I understand. Arrange these people. I have something to talk to you alone." Ye Fang said.

"Also, Miss He is here and waiting for you in that car." Feng Liping pointed to a black Mercedes-Benz not far away.

"Why is she here?" Ye Fang was a little surprised, and turned to ask Feng Liping, "Did you tell her?"

"Miss He knows every move I make." Feng Liping said with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead. If Fang Tianhua asks about me, tell me if you know something, but don't tell me if you don't know. You go and accompany him for me." Ye Fang said solemnly.

"I know how to do it, boss." Feng Liping said and went straight to Fang Tianhua's Rolls-Royce.

Ye Fang shook his head and walked towards the Mercedes-Benz business car. Now Ye Fang really doesn't want to involve He Chaoqiong. After all, he will be doomed if he makes one wrong step. He has hidden all his weaknesses, leaving only He Chaoqiong. .

Fortunately, He Chaoqiong was behind because of He's family background, so Ye Fang was less worried about her safety. He opened the door and Ye Fang jumped into the car.

As soon as he sat down, a gust of fragrance rushed into his arms. Ye Fang smiled and touched He Chaoqiong's hair and said, "Be careful with your belly. Don't forget that you are an advanced maternal age now."

"Are you reminding me that I am very old?" He Chaoqiong sat up from Ye Fang's arms and asked.

Ye Fang waved his hand to let him drive, and then said helplessly, "Miss, I care about you, okay! You have to understand me head-on." As he spoke, he touched He Chaoqiong's slightly bulging belly and said, "I can't go this time. I’m visiting the old man, please tell him.”

"What, do you have something to do?" He Chaoqiong was very sensitive and immediately guessed that Ye Fang had something important to do, and asked, "Is it related to those people?"

"Well, if you free up two floors of hotel rooms for me, I will be of use." Ye Fang said.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, I will tell Shen Congwen." He Chaoqiong said.

"Okay, I won't look for you during this period, and you shouldn't look for me yet. I'll look for you again after I finish the things I'm doing." Ye Fang said casually.

Hearing what Ye Fang said, He Chaoqiong's expression changed, and she immediately asked with a tearful tone, "Are you going to break up with me? You heartless person."

"No...no, I didn't mean that." Ye Fang knew that this was the estrogen in the pregnant woman's body causing trouble, making He Chaoqiong's emotions extremely sensitive.

"Then what do you mean?" He Chaoqiong said reluctantly, with the attitude of a little woman.

Ye Fang spent almost all the time coaxing He Chaoqiong to coax him. After the two lingered for a while, the business car slowly stopped at the door of the Lisboa Hotel.

"Will you go to the gambling license bidding announcement meeting in two days?" He Chaoqiong asked.

"Of course I will go. Although I am not the protagonist, I have to participate after all." Ye Fang said.

"I heard that the eldest lady of the Lu family is here this time. You have to stay away from her, do you hear me? You have to know that you are about to be a father now." He Chaoqiong pulled Ye Fang's ear and seemed to instruct. .

"Okay, I understand, Miss." Ye Fang forcefully broke free from He Chaoqiong's hands and got out of the car. At this time, the Rolls-Royce motorcade had just stopped at the gate.

Fang Tianhua got out of the car accompanied by Feng Liping. Fang Tianhua asked, "Xiao Feng, who are Mr. Ye's friends in that car?"

"Boss Fang, what kind of friends does Mr. Ye have in Haojiang? How do I, a small employee, know about it?" Feng Liping said with a smile.

Fang Tianhua nodded and did not answer. He watched Ye Fang walking over from a distance. After a few words of greeting, the two walked into the Lisboa Casino together. As soon as he entered the casino, he saw Shen Congwen leading a group of people to greet him. In fact, Shen Congwen had seen Ye Fang's motorcade a long time ago, but he didn't go down to greet him. In fact, he deliberately wanted to show off Ye Fang.

"Mr. Ye, hello, hello! I just had an impromptu meeting. I'm really sorry that I didn't come to pick you up. Don't mind."

Shen Congwen's attitude was very low, and Ye Fang didn't point it out and didn't care. He exchanged a few words with Shen Congwen and then took Fang Tianhua to the hotel to rest. Shen Congwen originally hoped that Ye Fang could introduce people like Fang Tianhua, but Ye Fang directly bypassed this link, which made Shen Congwen feel a little dissatisfied. However, considering that the people Ye Fang brought with him had to spend money in Lisboa, he temporarily tolerated it.

Shen Congwen visually inspected the people brought by Ye Fang and murmured, "With these few people, one floor of the hotel is enough. Why do we need another floor? Are there still guests coming?"

Shen Congwen reached out to greet a service staff, said a few words seriously, then turned and left.

The next day, Fang Tianhua took Gong Yimin and He Wenqiang to attend the simple opening ceremony of Ye Fangxin Casino, which was not far from Lisboa. It turned out to be an underground casino, which had been idle since it was banned by the government. Later, Ye Fang bought it, renovated it, and annexed several surrounding properties to transform it into a new casino paradise. The foundation of the casino is very good. Feng Liping can open it directly after renovation. Since the gambling license of the casino has not been released yet, it cannot be open to the public now, so it only entertains people like Fang Tianhua and Zhou Guanglong.

Ye Fang generously gave Fang Tianhua and several others 500 million chips each, and 200 million chips for the others. Everyone can play or exchange them directly for cash. The casino is fully equipped with dealers, service personnel and related service facilities, just like a normal casino. You can win as much as you want and lose as much as you want. More than half of these people are Fang Tianhua and other senior provincial and municipal officials. One million chips is a huge sum of money for them. Some of them want to exchange them directly for chips, but they are itchy after seeing other people gambling and finally give up. Unable to restrain himself, he started gambling in secret.

The entire casino has sufficient oxygen and a suitable temperature, so everyone can gamble tirelessly for three days and three nights without time.

Fang Tianhua and Zhou Guanglong were all assigned single rooms. Fang Tianhua was originally very reserved, but after he won 2000 million, he immediately showed his ugly face and began to devote selfless energy to gambling.

Some of these people won money, some lost money, and some of them quickly lost the chips given by Ye Fang, and then mobilized funds from the mainland to exchange for chips. Originally, Ye Fang was planning to throw away tens of millions, but then slowly started to make a profit.

Ye Fang stood on the second floor of the casino and looked down at the people on the first floor. He nodded with satisfaction and handed Feng Liping into a room alone.

"This place will be left to you in the next three days. All exits of the casino are blocked. If these people are tired, they can arrange temporary rooms to rest. After three days, they will be sent back to the hotel to rest." Ye Fang ordered.

"I know, boss." Feng Liping bowed and replied.

"Fang Tianhua and the others asked me where I was, and they said I went to attend the gambling license bidding announcement meeting." Ye Fang said.

"Yes, boss, I know how to deal with it." Feng Liping replied.

"Take me to those rooms to see." Ye Fang said

"Yes." Feng Liping accompanied Ye Fang to some floors of the second-phase casino hotel. He saw dozens of simply decorated rooms. The rooms were all wrapped in gray leather soft packaging. There were no windows in the whole room, and there was no sharp point. There are three single beds in the room. The cameras and recording equipment in all rooms have also been installed. There is also a monitoring center and a security center on the floor. In the security center, Ye Fang is equipped with [-] Qingtian security guards and a force stationed in Haojiang to ensure the safety of the entire hotel.

"Mr. Ye, what do you think? Is there anything else that needs to be added? There is still time." Although Feng Liping didn't know why Ye Fang prepared these weird rooms in the casino, he still did as he was told. Feng Liping even once thought that Ye Fang had some perverted habits, but he quickly rejected his idea. He vaguely felt that Ye Fang's purpose of building these rooms was prepared by the gang in the casino.

While Ye Fang was inspecting the rooms in his casino, Ke Wenbo secretly brought a team of 50 people to Haojiang and stayed at the Lisboa Hotel. Ye Fang returned to the hotel and met with Ke Wenbo and explained the progress of things here. Ke Wenbo used the last three days to train everyone again, waiting for the moment when the battle started.

The next day, the gambling license auction results meeting was held in the conference room of the SAR Government Building. The He family sent a representative, and the Lu family sent Lu Weiwei and Ye Fang, the eldest ladies of the Lu family, as well as several other bidding companies. Someone was sent to attend the meeting.

Ye Fang walked into the venue in a low-key manner, but Lu Weiwei pulled him to sit next to him in an unusually high-key manner. From the corner of his eye, Ye Fang caught a glimpse of the representative of the He family casually looking to this side, which made Ye Fang feel frightened.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Fang sat down next to Lu Weiwei, He Chaoqiong's text message came. The text message only contained three words: "Wait!"

"There is a celebration party tonight, and my father invites you to attend." Lu Weiwei sat next to Ye Fang and said calmly.

"The results haven't been announced yet, why are we preparing a celebration banquet?" Ye Fang didn't react for a moment.

"You're stupid, but you informed three companies two hours ago. Now you're just going through the motions to make news." Lu Weiwei glanced at Ye Fang and said.

When Ye Fang wanted to ask something else, the bidding results were immediately announced. In the end, SJM, the bank and Wynn won the gambling license operation rights for the next 20 years. Certificates including a group photo and video were issued as soon as possible. The entire press conference did not exceed 10 It's over in minutes.

"Can I not go?" Ye Fang accompanied Lu Weiwei out of the office building.

"You dare?!" Lu Weiwei's voice suddenly became louder and she continued, "If you dare not to go, I will ask my father to terminate cooperation with you."

"No, why don't I go? I'll go!" Ye Fang agreed.

"That's pretty much it. I'll wait for you tonight!" Lu Weiwei winked at Ye Fang and left with a smile.

Ye Fang looked at the sky and sighed deeply, shook his head helplessly and said, "Why didn't you know that I had such good luck in love before?"

Leng Chuan behind him suppressed his laughter after hearing this, and did not let Ye Fang notice.
