They all lived in the same compound. Chu Zhongqi and An Tongjiang arrived at Luan Fangren's house in just a few minutes.

Even though they live not far away, they seldom move around and have zero contact in their spare time.

There is a subtle logic here.

The bigger the official becomes, the more attention should be paid to the impact.

Luan Pang Nhan, Chu Zhongqi and An Dongjiang are the top three bosses in An Giang Province. If they move around a lot, it will give the impression of a close relationship.

The higher-ups must think that there is suspicion of running a clique.

What? You want to turn An Giang Province into a monolith that cannot be blown by wind or splashed by water?

If that really happens, the existing team will inevitably be dismantled.

Remove one or both of them.

Sometimes, the existence of contradiction is often a manifestation of balance.

Only by restricting and supervising each other can we develop and progress better.

Therefore, they can make phone calls in private, but basically avoid contact with each other, and rarely take the initiative to visit.

Tonight, the three big bosses gathered together at Luan Fangren's home for the first time since Luan Fangren took office as secretary.

Especially him and Chu Zhongqi.

The first and second-in-commands have always been at odds with each other, but this discord is not a lack of cooperation and has a bottom line.

As long as you grasp this bottom line, don't cross it, and don't have major conflicts, you'll be fine.

It was rare that the three of them were sitting on the sofa, and all of them had those photos of Li Yuanlang's love affairs in their hands.

An Tongjiang was the first to express his opinion. He said: "I have read it and learned about some of the situation, but it's actually nothing. Let's just talk about the first picture of Liao Jingjing spending the night in Li Yuanlang's room."

"Li Yuanlang met Liao Benxiang by chance. As we all know, Li Yuanlang came forward to help Liao Jingjing end the review. He thanked him and invited him to have a drink. It is human nature and beyond reproach."

"Li Yuanlang was so drunk that he fell unconscious. In order to take care of him, Liao Jingjing stayed in the room all night long and didn't leave until Li Yuanlang woke up the next day."

"Maybe he left in a hurry and didn't tidy up, which gave people a misunderstanding."

An Tongjiang picked up several other photos and continued to explain: "This is the last time Liao Jingjing went to Deping to discuss cooperation matters with the Deping Municipal Government."

"Li Yuanlang accompanied her for a walk. The wind blew her eyes away, and Li Yuanlang kindly helped her blow them away. Apparently, the photographer deliberately adjusted the angle to give people the illusion that Li Yuanlang and Liao Jingjing were kissing."

"You see, when male and female couples behave like this, they usually hug each other. And Li Yuanlang's hands are hanging down, which means that he is not holding Liao Jingjing, but more like helping her blow her eyes as he confessed."

Listening to An Tongjiang's narration, Luan Fangren and Chu Zhongqi picked up the photos one after another and looked at them carefully.

After a long while, Chu Zhongqi sighed and shook his head: "It's a pity, it's really a pity."

An Tongjiang frowned and asked in confusion: "What's such a pity?"

"I mean, the content of this set of photos is not necessarily as simple as what Li Yuanlang himself explained."

"Comrade Tongjiang, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Li Yuanlang is fine, so why does such a photo appear? Everything has its essence. When Li Yuanlang went abroad, on the plane, he and Liao Jingjing had a close relationship and had a great conversation.

.”

"While abroad, for the sake of Liao Jingjing's personal affairs, he was willing to take risks and participate in a shootout with local gangs. All these factors gave Li Yuanlang the inducement to have a relationship with Liao Jingjing."

"That night, they were in the same room in the hotel room and spent the night together. Did nothing really happen as Li Yuanlang said?"

"Most people have experienced being drunk. How can you stay drunk all night long? You usually wake up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth and always look for some water to quench your thirst."

"Then the story is here. Can something happen between a man and a woman who eats and drinks? I guess only God knows and the two of them know."

"Also, what you just said is that Liao Jingjing went to Deping City specifically to invest. This is very interesting."

"Huajiang Group is well-known in our province, but even going to Deping, a remote city, is still an insignificant investment in a supermarket in the eyes of their group. This speaks volumes."

"Liao Jingjing met Li Yuanlang in this name. I also know that Li Yuanlang sent away his secretary at that time, deliberately creating an opportunity for him and Liao Jingjing to be alone."

"As the mayor of a city at the departmental level, Li Yuanlang is still a married man, so he should be careful, especially when it comes to contact with the opposite sex, and not to leave any gossip."

"Perhaps he didn't expect that someone would secretly take photos, let alone that these photos would spread to the delegates in Deping City, causing a huge negative impact."

"Secretary Luan, Comrade Tongjiang, the photo incident has a bad impact. Whether it is true or false, our provincial party committee cannot just sit on the sidelines and take practical actions. We cannot say that Li Yuanlang is someone's family member, and we will treat him differently. This is unfair and also

Unjust."

When An Tongjiang heard this, Chu Zhongqi had completely opposite attitudes to him, and said in a deep voice: "I don't agree with Chu Sheng's statement. Admittedly, what you said makes sense, and I still stick to my opinion."

"Everything must be based on facts. There is no substantial evidence as to whether Li Yuanlang and Liao Jingjing had any intimate behavior."

"If I find the two of them on the same bed, or hugging each other in an intimate manner, I have nothing to say. To deny a person or his previous actions based on just a few photos that cannot explain anything is the same thing.

Extremely irresponsible behavior.”

"Besides, the earliest time these photos were taken was twenty days ago. Why not take them out earlier? Why did they scatter them among the delegates just before the voting? Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions. This is a reflection on Comrade Li Yuanlang

His revenge is to destroy his despicable ways!"

"It is not easy for us to train a cadre, especially a leading cadre at the department level. At best, Comrade Li Yuanlang was disorderly and did not pay attention to the impact. We reminded him, criticized and educated him, these are all acceptable."

"If we really beat him to death, he will never be able to recover. I would like to ask, is this fair to Comrade Li Yuanlang? Is it just?"

An Tongjiang was slightly excited and couldn't help but pat the armrest of the sofa with his fingertips.

Chu Zhongqi's eyebrows were already twisted together, his eyes were cold and frosty, and his face was very ugly.

He did not expect that An Tongjiang would be standing on the opposite side of him.

This has never happened before.

He said with a stern face: "Comrade Tongjiang, please pay attention to your emotions. We are discussing the matter and talking about our own ideas. What do you mean by slapping the sofa? What do you want to express!"

Not to be outdone, An Tongjiang counterattacked: "Sheng Chu, I have no other intention. I am just expressing my opinion. Excuse me, which section does not allow body language?"

"you……"

Chu Zhongqi was so angry that his face instantly turned pale, and the muscles on his face were trembling.

Luan Fangren didn't say a word from beginning to end, listening carefully to An Tongjiang and Chu Zhongqi's opinions.

Seeing that the two people were getting more and more excited as they talked, now they were no longer excited, but impulsive, so they quickly raised their hands to stop them.

"Sheng Chu, Comrade Tongjiang, please be patient."

Finally, the fighting between Chu Zhongqi and An Tongjiang was stopped. Luan Fangren said slowly: "Regarding these photos, I think it is better to give a comprehensive report to Comrade Linsong first and listen to his opinions. What do you two think?"

Luan Fangren's words made Chu Zhongqi and An Tongjiang suddenly realize.

They were only obsessed with the matter of Li Yuanlang and Liao Jingjing, and at the same time they ignored such an important issue.

After all, Lu Linsong was Li Yuanlang's father-in-law, and he was an old leader and comrade with enough say.

Even if he retreats, his power is still there.

Not to mention them, even Comrade Jin Feng was very respectful to Lu Linsong.

"Please wait a moment, I'll make a call." Luan Fangren stood up and slowly walked into the study with his hands behind his back.

Chu Zhongqi glanced at An Tongjiang coldly, took out his mobile phone and walked out of the living room to make a call outside.

An Tongjiang held it in for a long time, took out a cigarette and lit it, fiddled with his cell phone, looked through the phone book to find a number, and then dialed it.

Before the call, he also looked at the door of the study room and the back of Chu Zhongqi standing outside the living room.
