However, this also limited her, preventing her from truly and deeply influencing the political environment of Handong.
And on the opposite side.
Zhao Lichun pondered for a moment, then said, "I know someone you might want to contact."
"This person probably needs the Zhao family's help right now."
"His current position is not high."
"But there's a lot of room for maneuver; we might even be able to get him to stir up trouble in Handong again!"
After listening to Zhao Lichun's words, Zhao Xiaohui...
He frowned.
After a moment of contemplation, a figure suddenly appeared in her mind.
He blurted out, "Dad, are you talking about Hou Liangping?!"
"But wasn't he demoted three ranks before because of a mistake, and now he's just a staff member in the anti-corruption bureau?"
Even if we bring him over...
"How would it help our Zhao family?"
Zhao Xiaohui certainly knew Hou Liangping very well.
A few months ago.
Hou Liangping was still a prominent figure in Handong, able to get whatever he wanted, which caused considerable trouble for their Huilong Group.
However, with the passing of special envoy Mu Chen...
Hou Liangping gradually became marginalized and was eventually abandoned by Sha Ruijin.
It's dropped three levels in a row!
They've completely lost their presence.
"What do you know?" Zhao Lichun's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hou Liangping's demotion!"
"But he's still a deputy director-level official!"
"He's still enjoying the benefits of a deputy director-level official!"
"As long as this is kept."
"That gives you a lot more room to maneuver!"
"Go and contact Hou Liangping now to find out what he thinks."
"Ideally, we should be able to use him for our purposes!"
Chapter 208 Zhao Xiaohui meets Hou Liangping!
Zhao Lichun's words were like a wake-up call for Zhao Xiaohui, and she immediately understood her next goal.
hang up the phone.
Zhao Xiaohui immediately drove back to her hotel owned by Huilong Group.
He took out his phone and looked at Hou Liangping's phone number.

And on the other side.
late at night.
Hou Liangping, who had returned home drunk, received a phone call that surprised him.
It was Zhao Ruilong's sister, Zhao Xiaohui, calling!
Hou Liangping couldn't understand why Zhao Xiaohui would call him, since they were not familiar with each other at all, and even if they had met, it was only once before.
Even the phone number was obtained through Zhao Ruilong.
Used to facilitate communication.
But everything changed after Hou Liangping stepped down from his position as director of the anti-corruption bureau.
His phone used to ring all day long.
but now?
He didn't make a sound all day! It was as if Hou Liangping had vanished from the world!
This is the naked reality!
It was also the cruelest and most painful blow that reality dealt him!
Hou Liangping experienced the meaning of "out of sight, out of mind" even before he retired!
Regarding Zhao Xiaohui's phone call.
Although Hou Liangping didn't know why he was being called, he answered the phone almost without thinking.
Because his relationship with Zhong Xiaoai is getting worse and worse.
Hou Liangping had completely given up on Zhong Xiaoai's ability to help him, but Zhao Xiaohui was different; she had Zhao Lichun behind her, and Zhao Lichun's current situation was not good either.
Perhaps, for Zhao Lichun now...
Hou Liangping still has value!
It's still useful!
If he can help Zhao Lichun, then Zhao Lichun will definitely help him make a comeback!
"Hey?"
"I'm Hou Liangping, what can I do for you?"
Hou Liangping answered the phone.
I asked a tentative question.
He still couldn't let go of his pride and didn't lower his guard.
This sentence sounds a bit awkward.
It was as if Hou Liangping was someone in a higher position.
But fortunately.
Zhao Xiaohui, on the other end of the line, didn't seem to care about any of that. Instead, she said, "I have something to tell you. Come to the Huilong International Hotel to find me now."
"Just give me your name at the front desk."
"If you want to deal with our common enemy, come find me."
"If you're going to swallow this insult..."
"Just pretend you didn't receive this call."
Zhao Xiaohui's words were very direct, but it was precisely these simple and clear words that struck Hou Liangping's deepest thoughts!
Of course he couldn't swallow this insult!
It was because of that person that he was demoted from the position of director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
It has fallen to where it is now!
He completely lost his dignity!
Back when he was in Beijing, he always felt inferior in front of Zhong Xiaoai, after all, Zhong Xiaoai was the director of an office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, a real leadership position!
Deputy Director-General level cadre!
Hou Liangping went to Handong and became the director of the anti-corruption bureau.
Only then did he finally become an equal to Zhong Xiaoai!
Moreover, once you've tasted that kind of power, it's hard to go back to the way it was before!
How could Hou Liangping not think about this?
"it is good!"
Hou Liangping replied almost without hesitation, "I'm coming right now!"
Say it.
Hou Liangping hung up the phone.
He turned around and walked out of the room again.
Leave your residence.
soon.
Hou Liangping hailed a taxi and arrived at Huilong International Hotel.
Under the guidance of the front desk staff.
We arrived at a private room.
