It was fine to let Li Mingming be reinstated, but the latter condition could not be agreed to in any case. Lu Haofang also lit a cigarette, sat on the desk and said: "Brother Shen, are you kidding? It was Old Wei who broke the law first, so let Zhang Hongqing’s apology would make people laugh out loud if word spread about it, so where should I, the director, put my face?”
Shen Tong flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said calmly: "Since Director Zhang would rather break than bend, and I have no way to keep my position, I'll take my leave." After saying that, he stood up and left.
Seeing this, Lu Haofang quickly grabbed Shen Tong and said, "Brother Shen, don't leave in a hurry. We'll discuss it later."
Hearing that there was a door open, Shen Tong came back, sat on the sofa, and said: "Director Lu, I, Shen Tong, do things for myself, but you have tarnished Secretary Wu's reputation. There is no room for negotiation. We must make a public decision." Apologize."
Lu Haofang paced back and forth with his hands on his hips. After thinking for a long time, he picked up the phone on his desk and said, "Let Zhang Hongqing come to my office."
Lu Haofang walked up to Shen Tong and said, "Although this matter is a bit embarrassing, as long as it can keep Zhang Hongqing's position, what's the point of apologizing? I wonder what Mr. Shen has to do?"
Seeing that Lu Hao relaxed, Shen Tong didn't make any pretense and said, "I'm going to accommodate Secretary Wu. I said that I had an argument with a gangster on the street and assisted in the investigation. But Old Wei said We arrested the wrong person. As for the fight, I believe you, Director Lu, have better tricks than me. If you fool me, it will be solved easily."
"Okay, as long as I can keep Zhang Hongqing, I can do anything." Lu Haofang made the decision on the spot.
This matter was originally intended to serve the purpose of promoting democracy. Now that the purpose has been achieved, Lu Haofang did not really want to offend Wu Jiangkai.
Shen Tong breathed a sigh of relief when the matter was resolved, which could be regarded as a reasonable explanation to Wu Jiangkai and Zhang Liwei.
Three days later, a piece of news caused a huge sensation in Dongjiang Province and debunked rumors that had been circulating before. Xu Tingyuan, the former deputy mayor of Longzhong City, was transferred to Zhaobei City as the municipal party committee secretary.
When Shen Tong saw this news in the newspaper, he did not show the strong curiosity of others, but became more calm. Shen Tong clearly remembered that the last time the investigation team formed by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection came to Shihe Town to investigate the former party committee Secretary Zhao Yitang neglected his duties and caused a fire. When the county leaders learned that Xu Tingyuan was going to be the secretary of the Longnan Municipal Party Committee, they tried their best to curry favor with his ex-girlfriend Xu Xia. Shen Tong also stole the show that time.
But now, Xu Tingyuan did not come to Longnan City, an old industrial city, to serve as secretary, as was rumored, but to Zhaobei City, a new city that emerged due to tourism. One of the reasons is not something that a grassroots cadre like Shen Tong can master, and it is personnel. Every step of transfer involves various visible or invisible interests. Looking at the personnel transfer in Dongquan County, isn't it the same?
From the perspective of Wu Jiangkai and Ding Qingxiang, they both want to promote their confidants to the Standing Committee, so that they can have a say in the Standing Committee and thus take the initiative in Dongquan County affairs. However, the higher the level, the higher the devil. Father-in-law, Wu Jiangkai also set up a secretarial office meeting on top of the Standing Committee, holding power in his own hands in disguise.
From the perspective of Deputy County Magistrate Xiang Jie, he is no longer too strong on money. What he wants is to reach a higher level so as to lay the foundation for his future leadership. A deputy position is always subordinate to a principal position, so It is a pleasure to have one person have the final say, and becoming a permanent member means taking one step closer to power.
The core of the struggle for power is interests, and the core of interests is inner demons, lust, and greed.
After Wu Jiangkai returned from the provincial capital overnight, the first call he made was not to Zhang Liwei, but to Shen Tong, which shows the importance of Shen Tong in Wu Jiangkai's heart.
Shen Tong was lying on the bed in the dormitory, looking absently at the missed calls from Xu Xia on his mobile phone. He wanted to call back several times, but gave up the idea. After receiving a call from Wu Jiangkai, he rushed to the county party committee building without stopping.
Since Wu Jiangkai made up his mind to crack down on illegal mining and illegal mining, the strange things that have happened one after another have made him realize that this pool of muddy water is not ordinary deep. There are thousands of intricate chains of interests that are intertwined with each other, and there is no telling how many things are behind it. Dark and dirty power-money transactions, and the source of everything seems to be interfering with his actions. Since he is determined to poke this hornet's nest, he will never be intimidated by the evil forces, and he will never stop here. , but instead inspired his fighting spirit even more.
Wu Jiangkai sat on the boss's chair, smoking a cigarette and looking through the notebook he carried with him. He marked everything with keywords. The advantage of this is that firstly, he will not forget it as time goes by, and secondly, he will not forget it as time goes by. Only he can understand it to prevent others around him from "stealing" his ideas.
He suddenly remembered what Jiang Weisheng, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Construction, said last time: "Do it with confidence and boldness." This sentence indeed gave him a lot of motivation, but why didn't the old leader, Vice Governor Qiu, tell me in person? Rather, he conveys his thoughts through the mouths of others. In any case, Governor Qiu still has his own eyes. For this reason, I will use a crowbar to stir up this muddy water.
Shen Tong's knock on the door interrupted his train of thought. Wu Jiangkai closed his notebook and called in a rich voice: "Come in."
After Shen Tong came in, he stood in front of Wu Jiangkai apologetically, saying nothing, waiting for Secretary Wu's severe criticism.
What Shen Tong didn't expect was that Wu Jiangkai did not criticize him, but instead asked him to sit in front of him and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?"
Shen Tongcheng was frightened and stood up and said: "Much better, Secretary Wu, this matter was caused by my lack of consideration and improper handling of this matter, which brought some bad effects to you. I was at fault."
Wu Jiangkai was not angry. He patted Shen Tong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't rush to admit your mistake. You are not wrong. Even if you are wrong, it is to protect my face and prevent some people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of me."
Seeing Wu Jiangkai's attitude, Shen Tong said sincerely: "Secretary Wu, I have a few words that I don't know whether to say or not?"
Seeing that Shen Tong had his own opinion, Wu Jiangkai said with great interest: "Okay, you say."
Shen Tong bravely said: "Secretary Wu, I hope you will not punish Zhang Hongqing, the director of Chengguan Town Police Station, but also praise him."
"Oh?" Hearing that Shen Tong had such insight, Wu Jiangkai sat up, stared at Shen Tong and continued to listen.
Shen Tong had carefully considered what he was going to say today. He said: "Wei Gang is a discerning person and anyone can tell at a glance that someone is making a fuss about it. Do Lu Haofang and Zhang Hongqing really not know the consequences of arresting Wei Gang? Quite the contrary. , they have a clear mind and are waiting for you to punish them or remove them from their posts in anger. If so, they will fall into their trap."
Wu Jiangkai still didn't understand, and his expression was much more serious than before. He picked up the cigarette on the table, threw one to Shen Tong, lit it himself and said, "Go on."
Shen Tong was a little unsure of what Wu Jiangkai would say next. He said tentatively: "Secretary Wu, what I'm about to say may involve some leaders. I hope you won't take offense if I'm wrong."
Wu Jiangkai desperately wanted to know something about his opponent, but due to the inability of his subordinates, Zhang Liwei was too cautious and rarely mentioned Ding Qingxiang in front of him. Now that Shen Tong dared to tell him that this was a good thing, he needed to That kind of people.
