Every word he spoke was like a sharp knife stabbing everyone present. Xu Tingyuan was even more grief-stricken and regretful. All of this was caused by himself, but the matter was already at this point, and it was too late to say anything. Xu Tingyuan's mother Then he threw himself on Xu Xia's bed, his internal organs collapsed, and he burst into tears. Lu Wei turned his head to one side, biting his lip and kept silent.
After Xu Xia's mood calmed down a bit, Lu Wei stepped forward and said, "Xu Xia, don't worry, Shen Tong is fine there. I've asked him to hide at home for a while, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Now you're the best The main thing is to take good care of your body, and leave the rest to me."
Lu Wei used to be Xu Tingyuan's secretary. The Xu family has long regarded him as one of their own. Xu Xia usually listens to him, but he never interrupts when it comes to family matters. Tonight is really helpless. It is the first time that he does it in front of the old leader. A decision was made.
Xu Tingyuan was so heartbroken at the moment that he didn't have time to think about this. As long as his daughter could be emotionally stable and not do stupid things, he would burn incense.
Xu Xia turned her head and begged Lu Wei, saying: "Lu Weiwei, is Shen Tong really okay? I want you to promise that this matter will never affect him. I am willing to bear everything for him."
Xu Xia was like this, and he still thought about Shen Tong, which moved Lu Wei. What is love? This is love. Being able to think of the other person at critical moments, regardless of personal safety, and solving problems for the other person. Lu Wei once felt for Xu Xia in his heart His fate was unjust, but he was helpless and had to obey the decision made by the old leader. He said: "Don't worry, I will try my best to handle this matter."
Xu Xia nodded, lay down slowly, then covered her head with the quilt and sobbed softly.
Seeing this, Lu Wei pulled Xu Tingyuan and winked at Xu's mother. They quietly exited the room and discussed countermeasures in the corridor of the hospital.
Lu Wei first said: "Secretary Xu, Auntie, I already understand what happened. This is completely a misunderstanding. I believe in Shen Tong's character. It is impossible for him to break the promise he made, not to mention that he now has a girlfriend. , please also believe in him."
Although the hospital stipulates that smoking is not allowed, Xu Tingyuan couldn't hold it in and lit up a cigarette. He believed Lu Wei's words, but now, it's not about blaming Shen Tong, but how to face the Zheng family, especially Minister Zheng of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Alas, all of this was caused by Xu Tingyuan. For his own career, he used his daughter as a bargaining chip for promotion. What did he get in exchange? He was promoted, but the whole family was broken up.
Xu Tingyuan let out a long sigh and said, "Lu Wei, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Lu Wei was extremely calm at this time. He said: "Now is not the time for us to blame Xu Xia or Shen Tong, but to take a tough attitude to negotiate with the Zheng family."
Unexpectedly, Lu Wei said such words, Xu Tingyuan raised his head and said: "Oh? What kind of negotiation method can you tell me?"
Lu Wei gritted his teeth and said: "Secretary Xu, I hope you will forgive me if what I said next has offended you, but I have to say. Xu Xia has never had a good life since she married into his Zheng family. Then Zheng Weijun was living and drinking. , he took it out on Xu Xia when he came home drunk, and even did things that were worse than a beast. Today’s incident is obviously an excuse for Zheng Weijun to take advantage of it.”
"Looking at Minister Zheng's attitude again, he did not say how bad his son's behavior was, but instead accused Xu Xia of being unruly. As a leading cadre, how could he jump to conclusions without investigating and researching? It's unfair. It's obvious that he is here for you. If we are tolerant and retreat at this time, are we going to let the Zheng family bully us like this?"
What Lu Wei said was something that was deep in Xu Tingyuan's heart, but he couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it. You have to know that the opponent he faced was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Minister of Organization. How could he, a department and bureau-level cadre, fight against him? Not to mention him.
Today is entirely thanks to the Zheng family. Since the Zheng family can let him go up, they can naturally let him down. Faced with the choice between official career and daughter's happiness, Xu Tingyuan hesitated.
Xu's mother didn't care so much and asked Lu Wei: "Lu Wei, for so many years, I have basically regarded you as the son of our Xu family. Now that something has happened to your sister, you must stand up for her."
Support me. Today, you have to listen to me. As long as it is for Xu Xia, I will support you in whatever you do."
Lu Wei did not speak, but looked at Xu Tingyuan who was wandering in the corridor. Only when he spoke could he say the next words.
After a long time, Xu Tingyuan threw the cigarette butt to the ground, stamped it out and said, "Tell me what you think."
Lu Wei leaned on Xu Tingyuan's ear and said, "Only by overthrowing Minister Zheng can Xu Xia have a way out."
"Ah?" Xu Tingyuan didn't expect that Lu Wei could say such treacherous and unethical words, and it was simply a fantasy to bring down Minister Zheng. To put it bluntly, just by them, they would let the other party hit him before even applying eye drops.
On death row. Xu Tingyuan scolded Lu Wei: "How could you have such an idea? You don't want to live anymore? Let's stop this topic. Don't blame me for being rude."
Lu Wei ignored Xu Tingyuan's expression and stamped his feet: "Secretary Xu, are you just going to watch the Zheng family bully Xu Xia? If we don't fight back now, what if Xu Xia really does something outrageous?
It's too late for you to regret it."
Xu's mother came from a womanly family. She didn't understand politics, but she knew the cruelty of officialdom, and she advised Lu Wei to give up the idea. Lu Wei had no choice but to stop the topic.
After a while, Xu Tingyuan said: "Lu Wei, let's put it aside for the time being. How can we solve the current situation? My principle is that we can take a step back, as long as we solve it properly."
Lu Wei thought for a while and said: "Secretary Xu, now that the matter has reached this point, I think the Zheng family will definitely take certain measures. Fortunately, the child in Xu Xia's belly has been hugged. Your side is safe for the time being, and Shen Tong's
Bian, I'm probably afraid..."
Xu Tingyuan understood what Lu Wei meant and said: "If you do this, you can contact Wu Jiangkai later, and I will meet with him first. Since the other party wants to deal with Shen Tong, let's show our attitude first."
Lu Wei's heart tightened and he said cautiously: "Secretary Xu, what do you mean..."
"Yes!" Xu Tingyuan knew what Lu Wei was going to say, and said: "I will talk to Wu Jiangkai tonight, and you will handle the rest. As for the Zheng family, don't worry about it, I will handle it.
"
Lu Wei said worriedly: "Secretary Xu, if you do this, you are not afraid of Xu Xia..."
"I can't worry about so much anymore. Let's get through the current difficulties first." Xu Tingyuan waved his hand to signal Lu Wei to stop talking. Lu Wei had no choice but to step aside and call Wu Jiangkai.
Wu Jiangkai, like Ding Qingxiang, was shut out in front of Zhu Yusen. Ding Qingxiang finally had a phone call with Zhu Yusen, but Wu Jiangkai was blocked outside the door and could not be seen behind closed doors. He had to leave angrily. He had just left Longzhong.
City, he received a call from Lu Wei. He heard that Xu Tingyuan wanted to see him, which made him a little confused.
The meeting place was chosen at a hidden tea house. Lu Wei led Wu Jiangkai up to the second floor. Xu Tingyuan and Wu Jiangkai were polite for a while, and then got straight to the point. Lu Wei told the whole story, which made Wu Jiangkai relax for a long time. But God comes.
The two sides were silent for a long time, and Wu Jiangkai said: "Secretary Xu, Shen Tong is my secretary now. I believe in his character. This matter must be a misunderstanding. If it doesn't work, I will ask him to come over and explain it to you in person."
Xu Tingyuan waved his hands and said: "Now is not the time to say who is right or wrong. The key to the problem is that the other party is Minister Zheng. This is something neither you nor I can afford to offend."
Wu Jiangkai seemed to understand what Xu Tingyuan meant, and said, "What does Secretary Xu mean?"
Xu Tingyuan pointed at Lu Wei and said, "Let Lu Wei speak."
Lu Wei did not dare to look at Wu Jiangkai, lowered his head and said: "Secretary Wu, Secretary Xu is not trying to make things difficult for Shen Tong, but there is always a way to resolve the matter, and one party must make concessions. It is okay if we are so deadlocked. .You know the stakes. It is impossible for Minister Zheng to back down, right? Therefore, before Minister Zheng makes a decision, we must first show our attitude. The origin of the matter lies with Shen Tong, and he should be responsible for it. "
Wu Jiangkai understood that this was to make Shen Tong a scapegoat. Of course he refused and said, "County Magistrate Lu, what do you want me to do?"
Lu Wei glanced at Xu Tingyuan and plucked up the courage to say, "I'll give him a punishment and send him to a remote town."
Wu Jiangkai sneered and said: "County Magistrate Lu, you are the executive deputy county magistrate of Dongquan County. You should know that Shen Tong was originally in a remote town. I transferred him back. If you let him go down again, this is not asking me to do it." No face? No!"
Xu Tingyuan spoke and said: "Jiang Kai, I know this matter is very difficult for you, but you have to see the situation clearly. If Minister Zheng gets angry, it will not only affect Shen Tong, but also me, and even you."
Wu Jiangkai did not back down and said: "What does it have to do with me? I still said the same thing, let me deal with Shen Tong, it's impossible! If you really want to take him, then please do it." After saying that, he stood up and started to do it. Walk.
Seeing this, Xu Tingyuan stopped him and said, "Brother Wu, please sit down and calm down first. I haven't finished speaking yet."
In order to protect Shen Tong, Wu Jiangkai was not afraid of offending Xu Tingyuan and said: "Secretary Xu, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore. I will definitely not agree to it."
Xu Tingyuan was furious. He was a leading cadre at the department and bureau level, but you, a division-level official, didn't give any face to him. He said angrily: "Secretary Wu, is this really not possible?"
"It won't work!" Wu Jiangkai said firmly.
When the talks between the two parties collapsed, there was no need to continue the talks, so Xu Tingyuan had to end it hastily and send Wu Jiangkai away.
After Wu Jiangkai got on the bus angrily, he said to Liu Haidong: "Contact Shen Tong now and ask where he is? Tell him not to go anywhere and wait for me in the office."
Liu Haidong had never seen Wu Jiangkai lose his temper before. He didn't dare to say anything, so he took out his mobile phone and called Shen Tong.
