Chapter 731: Pang Longhai's Awkward Situation
"Boss, please get in the car first!" Zhang Shun said, fulfilling his duty by prioritizing the protection of his boss.
Chen Fan didn't get in the car, instead he took out his phone to make a call.
Initially, he wanted to call Feng Pojun to get some security guards from the club.
But remembering that Old Feng had already gone to Shudu, he thought about calling Guo Shuai to bring some people over.
However, after considering it, Chen Fan abandoned this idea.
Because he thought of a more suitable person.
...
In a very ordinary residential building.
Pang Longhai, dressed in casual clothes, was sitting on the sofa smoking and staring into space.
Recently, Pang Longhai's work hadn't been going well.
This had caused him to be in a bad mood for several consecutive days.
His wife came out of the kitchen carrying dishes, looked at her husband who was still smoking, and couldn't help but remind him.
"Stop smoking, do you still want your health?"
"Let's eat first."
Pang Longhai didn't look up, and said in a muffled voice, "You eat first. I'm not hungry."
Seeing this, his wife put down the bowls and chopsticks, walked over and looked at her husband. Seeing Pang Longhai's exhausted face, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"Is the situation very troublesome?"
Pang Longhai sighed and shook his head without saying anything.
His wife sat down on the sofa dejectedly, "It was supposed to be a good thing, but it turned out like this, what kind of situation is this?"
"It would have been better if you had remained the deputy chief of the Liunan branch."
Pang Longhai frowned and glared at his wife.
"Woman, what do you know!"
"How can the deputy chief of the Liunan branch be compared to the deputy chief of the Development Zone?"
Yes, Pang Longhai had been promoted again.
This actually had something to do with Chen Fan.
Last year, when Chen Fan had an irreconcilable conflict with the Zhao family, on the night he made a move against the Zhao family, Chen Fan had called Pang Longhai out with one phone call.
As a result, Pang Longhai caught Zhao Longqi, who had overdosed on drugs and eventually died.
Plus, with the subsequent thorough investigation of the Zhao family by the investigation team, Pang Longhai inadvertently made a significant achievement.
Affected by the Zhao family incident, many leaders were investigated by the investigation team.
Once the investigation team left, so many positions suddenly became vacant, and Pang Longhai was directly promoted to the deputy chief of the Development Zone police station based on his previous merits.
Within 2 years, from a ordinary police squad leader, he had jumped several levels to become the deputy chief of the Development Zone police station.
Pang Longhai's career path could be described as magical. He became the envy of many people.
However, Pang Longhai's happiness didn't even last 2 months before changes came.
The original chief of the police station was taken away for investigation, and the deputy chief fell seriously ill and was bedridden.
After investigation, the province sent a new chief from the provincial level.
Then, because the deputy chief had been bedridden for a long time and seemed unlikely to recover, they simply promoted the young and vigorous Pang Longhai.
This appointment finally came through this year.
Pang Longhai thus leaped to work at the Development Zone police station, achieving a career breakthrough.
However, the happiness didn't last for even 2 months before the original deputy chief suddenly woke up, and after recovering from his serious illness, he resumed his position.
This created a problem.
Suddenly there was an extra deputy chief.
According to the higher-ups, the two would temporarily manage the bureau's work together, and appropriate adjustments would be made later.
The original deputy chief had deep-rooted relationships and strong influence in the bureau.
In addition, Pang Longhai was young and had no connections, so the old deputy chief felt this kid had come to snatch his position, naturally having a bad impression of him.
This led to Pang Longhai's work in the bureau being restricted everywhere, with no one listening to his arrangements.
He sat in the office as a lone commander, this job made him cautious and timid, not as free as when he worked at the Liunan branch before.
Pang Longhai had filed a report, saying that since the old deputy chief had resumed work, he was willing to be transferred back to his original work unit.
But the higher-ups replied telling him not to be anxious and to wait a while longer.
This made Pang Longhai suffer.
Every day in the bureau he was like an outsider, and usually when he issued orders, his subordinates had to go and consult the old deputy chief again before they could act.
This made Pang Longhai quite depressed.
Understanding her husband's pain, his wife sighed.
"Old Pang, if it really doesn't work out, let's go back to the original unit."
"I don't expect you to be a big official, as long as we can live our good life, that's enough."
Pang Longhai glanced at his wife, "You think it's that easy?"
"More than 2 months have passed, the original position has long been taken by another deputy chief."
These popular positions were all one radish per pit, now his original pit had been occupied by someone else, and the original owner of his current pit was unwilling to give it up.
The key was that Pang Longhai couldn't voice his grievances. The other person was senior, an old predecessor. If he dared to resist, he would first be labeled as disrespecting senior leaders, without even a chance to explain.
"Besides, I've finally been promoted. Something that many people couldn't achieve in 10 or even several decades, if I go back to the original unit, would you be content?"
Naturally, she wouldn't be content.
His wife looked at the ashtray already full of cigarette butts, and couldn't help but mutter.
"But you can't ruin your health either."
"We can't just sit and wait for doom, we need to think of other ways."
Pang Longhai glared at her: "What other ways could there be? If there were ways, do you think I wouldn't want to try them?"
His wife thought for a moment and suddenly spoke up: "Right. Aren't you on good terms with that Mr. Chen from Ruofan Group?"
"Even the car you're driving now was given by him."
"Why don't you ask him to think of a way?"
Pang Longhai stared at his wife speechlessly.
"What are you thinking? This is an internal system matter, Chen Fan is a businessman, do you think he can solve this kind of problem?"
His wife felt a bit wronged and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you say last time that he has good connections in the province?"
Pang Longhai's hand trembled.
This was indeed true.
Not just good connections.
Chen Fan was now a big shot in the city.
It was said that he had recently become an honored guest of Mayor Tong Haoran, and the new district renovation plan, such a huge project, was directly given to Chen Fan's company to do.
This wouldn't be possible if he wasn't a highly trusted person.
Pang Longhai's eyes turned.
Chen Fan had a good relationship with the mayor and also had connections in the province.
Maybe he really could help solve this trouble.
But...
Pang Longhai was somewhat hesitant.
"What's wrong?"
His wife immediately noticed the hesitation in Pang Longhai's eyes.
"I... I actually haven't been in contact with him for almost half a year."
"To be honest, I had a good relationship with him before because he hadn't made it big yet, and he needed me for some things."
"Now Chen Fan has long since made it, the people he associates with are all big shots like mayors and provincial governors. He probably... might not take me seriously anymore."
His wife quickly asked, "You haven't contacted him during this time?"
Pang Longhai shook his head: "I contacted him once before the New Year, I said I wanted to treat him to a meal, but he said he was very busy and declined."
His wife was a bit helpless: "How foolish, how could you not maintain such a relationship well?"
