On the surface, Wang Guofa claimed to be hands-off, but in reality, he wouldn't stand idly by. Once back in his study, he picked up the phone immediately, dialed his secretary's number, and as soon as the call connected, Wang Guofa began, "Zhi Yong, there's something you need to help me with tomorrow. Hui took out a three million yuan loan at the Agricultural Bank in the city. Go find Wu Yousheng and alter the loan period—make it one year."
In such matters, Wang Guofa would not show the lack of foresight seen in his son, Wang Hui. It's true that he was the Municipal Party Secretary, but Jiang Jingu was now connected to Governor Nie. Whether Jiang would comply was uncertain. One should never fight a battle without assurance—this was one of his life's principles.
On this particular issue, Wang Guofa would naturally leave himself an out, and extending the loan's period was naturally the first step.
