Sun Yangqian's black-market enterprise is divided into three major sections.
Respectively, they are prostitution, gambling, and drugs.
These three industries are each managed by one of his top lieutenants.
First, let's talk about the prostitution industry.
In Guanghe County, there are a large number of bathhouses, hair salons, and massage parlors; these are relatively low-end places.
Here, there's no emphasis on looks or skills; as long as it's a woman, she can do the job.
Next are KTVs, nightclubs, and bars, which are relatively more high-end.
In these places, there are some requirements for looks and figure; only relatively young women can work in this industry, and of course, the prices are relatively higher.
Besides this.
There's an even more high-end place, which is the Guanghe Dance Troupe.
The Guanghe Dance Troupe is a troupe under the Guanghe County Cultural Center.
Initially, it was indeed engaged in promoting dancing and singing, but later, when the dance troupe couldn't sustain itself, it sought out the Qionglu Group. After the Qionglu Group agreed to sponsor the dance troupe, the nature of the troupe changed.
Up to the present day.
The troupe is filled with beautiful women.
But these women have also become tools for Sun Yangqian to entertain important guests.
According to Zhang Shihua, these women are not only skilled in various performing arts but are also extremely attractive. More importantly, these women have undergone various kinds of training, rivaling Cai Xiaodong's past Flower House.
Besides this.
The dance troupe also engages in illegal activities under a legal facade.
Whenever VIPs visit Guanghe County.
Sun Yangqian takes them to the dance troupe to watch performances.
On the surface, it's to enjoy the performances.
In reality, it's to select women.
Once they fancy someone.
At night, the chosen woman will be sent to their room, left at the mercy of these dignitaries.
The actual person in charge of this industry is Wang Liuqing.
Wang Liuqing, 36 years old, was initially the head of the Guanghe Dance Troupe.
She graduated from the Dance Academy in Yuanjing and was a top student.
Especially skilled in ethnic dance.
At 27, she became the troupe's head.
She caught Sun Yangqian's eye.
Became one of Sun Yangqian's many women.
At 30, she officially took over this business, becoming one of Sun Yangqian's three top generals.
Though Wang Liuqing is already in her thirties.
She is still stunning in both physique and appearance. Legend has it that she conquered Sun Yangqian with a move called "Heavenly Flying Immortal," but no one knows what kind of move that actually is.
Next, let's talk about the gambling industry.
This is also one of the most lucrative sectors under Sun Yangqian.
Apart from the chess rooms scattered all over town.
Sun Yangqian also built a hotel, the famous Qionglu International Hotel in Guanghe County.
On the surface, it's just a hotel.
But from the fifth to the fifteenth floor, it's all a casino.
Entirely modeled after foreign gaming systems.
Especially the fifteenth floor of the hotel.
It serves only the top-tier gamblers.
Many big bosses in Guanghe County have lost their fortunes at this hotel.
The person in charge of this industry is Big Eye, whose real name is Su Fuping, the man who captures Qu Hongying.
The last industry.
Is the drug industry.
However, neither Zhang Shihua nor He Meili knows its specifics. But no matter whether it's night clubs or casinos, drug abuse is rampant. Who specifically is in charge, they also don't know.
It is precisely because of these three black-market enterprises.
That Guanghe County has become a cesspool.
Many families have been torn apart, homes shattered and lives destroyed.
In fact, many men, driven by their gambling and drug addictions, have sold even their families into prostitution.
Speaking of this.
Chen Fang thought of that family in Xinwei Village.
Zhang Shihua told Chen Fang that such occurrences are not uncommon in Guanghe County.
All of this is nothing short of horrifying and incredulous.
Chen Fang drew a sharp breath and asked, "The city doesn't do anything about this?"
"Do anything? Who dares to? Sun Yangqian regularly sends money to the city leaders; they are all bought and corrupted by him. They come to Guanghe County regularly to gamble and play with women. With such perks, who would want to get involved?"
He Meili said with a cold laugh.
Chen Fang said, "I just can't believe he's corrupted all the leaders in Xiaxiang City."
"Even if some leaders are clean, so what? They've been kept in the dark, and even if they know the truth, they prefer peace and avoid trouble. If things don't work out, they'll get themselves into trouble. Who would want to do that? Guanghe County is a place where sunlight doesn't reach; it has no morality, no law, only Sun Yangqian's atrocities. Tragedies like what happened to my father are just all too common."
Zhang Shihua said this with a tone full of bitterness and disappointment.
Before coming to this city.
He thought the only problem here was poverty.
He never imagined that this land was deeply poisoned.
As long as Sun Yangqian remains on this land.
The economy here will never develop.
The people will continue to live in dire suffering.
"Alright, I understand the general situation now. From now on, don't do anything, just follow my instructions. Totally changing Guanghe County is not something that can be done overnight."
Chen Fang said.
He stood up.
As he left Zhang Shihua's office.
Chen Fang felt very heavy-hearted.
Cai Xiaodong was quite powerful, but at least he didn't monopolize everything.
Yuan Zhenting was a tyrant in Fuguang Town, but he didn't dare to engage in prostitution, gambling, and drugs all at once.
This Sun Yangqian.
Was the biggest challenge Chen Fang has ever faced in his career.
If this challenge isn't removed.
Chen Fang wouldn't sleep peacefully at night.
As a local leader.
He should do something significant for this place.
Standing by the window of his office, Chen Fang looked at the bustling streets outside and silently made up his mind.
"Secretary Chen, are you looking for me?"
Suddenly, County Party Secretary's Office Director Ma Shizhen's voice came from behind.
Chen Fang turned around, and his serious expression became warm.
He greeted, "Director Ma, sit down, please, sit down."
"No need, Secretary Chen, what do you need me to do? Just give me the instructions."
Ma Shizhen waved his hands, declining.
"Actually, there's nothing specific. It's just the first day at work, and I thought I could learn a thing or two from Director Ma."
Chen Fang said humbly.
Ma Shizhen was flattered.
He responded nervously, "Secretary Chen, you're giving me too much credit. How would I know how to handle the responsibilities of a County Party Secretary? I'm just an assistant, here to serve you. Whatever you need me to do, I'll do."
Just like before.
Ma Shizhen was very timid, entirely lacking the presence of a County Party Secretary's Office Director.
There must be a hidden story here.
