What's wrong with this lawyer?!

The heavy rain in Xiping City gradually stopped, but in the eyes of some, there was still a sense of an impending storm.

The relevant departments had already started their investigation. On one hand, because the report was particularly detailed, and on the other, because of the unique whistleblower.

Hanxi Province, arguably, was the place outside of Lintang that Old Tang had the most influence.

A few more days passed. Hanxi Construction, on Tan Lidong's side, was already preparing to start a new project.

Some departments and some state-owned enterprises could be described in one phrase: they have oily pants even when they fart.

The profits were truly abundant, and anyone in power would think of siphoning some off.

It was joked that recently at their unit, no leader had made a safe landing...

Even the retired leaders from before were directly taken away for education.

Since the Eighteenth National Congress, there is certainly no rule that retirement means a safe landing.

Anyway, Tan Lidong thought the past had passed, Tang Fangjing asked for money, and it was given, all through legal channels, so there was no responsibility to bear.

The rest was nothing more than some reports being a bit troublesome, but just a bit troublesome, that's all.

Just while thinking about this, his phone rang. Seeing it was one of his leaders, Tan Lidong quickly answered.

"Hello, Old Tan, you're not busy right now, are you?"

When a leader asks if you're busy, even if you're on fire, you're not busy.

"No problem, do you have any instructions, leader?"

The voice on the phone spoke again: "You have a project manager named Pan Qingshan at your unit, right?"

Pan Qingshan... Tan Lidong thought carefully and immediately replied: "Yes, leader, he's working on a project right now, what's wrong with him?"

The leader said: "He's in trouble, the relevant department is prepared to detain him. Have him come back, prepare for an education warning conference. Yes, comrades from the relevant department will also attend, and he'll be taken away during the meeting."

"You prepare well for this, those comrades are expected to contact you these days."

Upon hearing this, Tan Lidong promptly replied: "Okay, leader, there will definitely be no problem on my end."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Lidong thought for a moment and then decided to pause the project first.

If there's trouble with a project manager in the company, it will certainly be under scrutiny afterward; he needs to be cautious.

These people never seem to know restraint, causing him daily trouble!

However, he didn't need to worry about calling back all the personnel for the education warning conference; others could handle that.

Others would also notify Pan Qingshan.

Though a project manager can be quite commanding on a project, in the office, in front of General Manager Tan, it's nothing.

The next day came, and preparations for the education warning conference were made, and Tan Lidong went to pick people up first.

The disciplinary inspection department had several staff attending. Upon meeting them, Tan Lidong expressed "apologies":

"Pan Qingshan got into trouble, and as the boss, I have a responsibility. I didn't lead the team well or manage the people."

One of the leaders chuckled: "General Manager Tan, that's why we're holding this education warning conference, to take him away in front of everyone, achieving the best educational warning effect."

"Don't you agree?"

Tan Lidong nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement: "We should hold more such conferences so that some won't forget who they are just because they're officials."

With that, he returned to the company with a group from the disciplinary inspection department, and the conference officially began.

As usual, Tan Lidong was supposed to make the opening remarks for the meeting.

In an education warning conference, naturally, he talked about anti-corruption and honesty education topics.

Tan Lidong had delivered this speech countless times before, so this time it was quite effective.

Finally, after finishing, he introduced some colleagues from the disciplinary department before letting them deliver their speech.

An older colleague looked around the venue before speaking: "According to the decision of... Hanxi Construction Group Company Chairman and General Manager Tan Lidong is suspected of serious disciplinary violations and is under organizational review!"

As the words fell, the staff, who were a bit drowsy from Tan Lidong's repeated themes, suddenly awakened.

Looking at Tan Lidong, then at the people from the disciplinary department, what was going on?

This kind of conference might involve taking someone away, someone could have guessed that.

But no one expected that the person being taken away would be none other than Tan Lidong, who was just then discussing education warnings!

However, no one stepped forward to question anything.

They simply watched quietly.

Tan Lidong's face, which had been normal, instantly turned as pale as death as the older colleague's words fell... Paler than Old Tang's face.

He collapsed into the chair.

He opened his mouth to speak but couldn't utter a word, just staring blankly.

The leading officer approached him, holding out the detention order: "Tan Lidong, let's go. You know the organizational discipline, don't make it ugly!"

However, with weak legs, he couldn't stand, and two young men helped him up, resulting in him collapsing to his knees with a thud.

His mind was actually blank now, with no thoughts at all, because everything happened so fast.

A few minutes ago, he was still pondering how to speak after taking Pan Qingshan away, and how to conclude the education warning conference successfully.

In the end, the one being taken away turned out to be him!
