As soon as the call was connected, Wang Hai asked in a very dissatisfied tone: "Mayor Wang, when did you get on the line with Secretary Lu? Why didn't I know about it?"
Wang Xiuguang was shocked and hurriedly argued: "Secretary-General Wang, what are you talking about? I haven't met Secretary Lu yet. The last time he came to K City for investigation, he clearly instructed that he only needed Secretary Qing to accompany him, and he did not I stayed in K city, so I didn’t see him at that time, and I didn’t have any friends who could get in touch with Secretary Lu. Please believe me on this,”
It turned out that Wang Xiuguang was promoted by Wang Hai and could be regarded as a direct descendant of Wang Hai. He knew that Wang Hai, provincial governor Qin Ge, and provincial party committee organization director Xie Hongda were "local powerful factions" in the provincial party committee and had been working with Secretary Lu and others. They were fighting openly and secretly, so when he heard Wang Hai say that he was on Secretary Lu's side, he was afraid of causing him to misunderstand, so he quickly defended himself.
Wang Hai felt aggrieved when he heard his words. It seemed that he had never had any contact with Secretary Lu. Then he softened his tone and said, "Xiao Wang, you are a talent that I value highly and favor. To be fair, I respect you." There are also promotions and opportunities, don’t you deny this?”
Wang Xiuguang said hurriedly: "Secretary-General Wang, I will always bear in mind your kindness to me, and I dare not forget it for a moment. You can rest assured that no matter what the situation, I will always be your most trustworthy subordinate and will never Wrong team, wrong person,"
Wang Hai said "hmm" with satisfaction and said: "Xiao Wang, the reason why I asked you this just now is because just ten minutes ago, Secretary Lu suddenly called me to his office and asked me about your situation. He asked about your work ability, main achievements, work history, etc., because I don’t understand the purpose of his asking, so I’m going to ask you,”
When Wang Xiuguang heard that Secretary Lu was asking Wang Hai about his situation, he couldn't help being surprised and happy: Could it be that he had a certain aspect of work that attracted Secretary Lu's attention, or that there was someone he didn't know about yet? He recommended himself to Secretary Lu. If this is the case, that would be great. What he dreams of is how to get close to the new provincial party secretary. Even if he offends Wang Hai for this, he will not hesitate to do so, because he is very good at it. It’s clear: No matter how powerful Wang Hai and the others are, and no matter how united they are, Secretary Lu is the leader after all, has the authority of his word, and has the advantage of making the final decision. If you have him as your backer, then you don’t have to be afraid of anything...
Just when he was fantasizing, Wang Hai spoke again: "Xiao Wang, why are you silent? I'm asking you something."
Wang Xiuguang then replied as if he was waking up from a dream: "I'm sorry, Secretary-General Wang, I was just thinking about why Secretary Lu suddenly asked me, so I was distracted, but after thinking about it, I really don't know. Know what's going on,"
Wang Hai hummed and hung up the phone without saying anything else.
At a little after four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Xiuguang had just chaired a mayor's office meeting. Before he left the conference room, he suddenly received another call from Wang Hai on his mobile phone.
Wang Xiuguang had just pressed the answer button on his mobile phone when he heard Wang Hai asking anxiously: "Wang Xiuguang, what kind of illegal and disciplinary activities have you done in the past two days? At the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, you were criticized by name just now. He asked me about you without saying anything specific, which made us all confused. No wonder he suddenly asked me about you at noon. It turned out that he was planning to make you a target for criticism. Please tell me, what is going on? Lu has been in Tianjiang for several months, but he has never criticized anyone by name at the Standing Committee meeting. How did you offend him?"
Wang Xiuguang suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole, and he trembled all over. He stammered: "Secretary-General Wang, I can't figure out what's going on. Secretary Lu and I have never had any contact. How could I offend him? Besides, I didn't make any mistakes at work. Someone must have accused me behind my back. I was hit in the back. Secretary Wang, you have to help me. I really don’t understand what’s going on. Could you please explain it to me at Secretary Lu’s place?”
Wang Hai snorted and said: "How can I explain it to you? He just criticized you on two points: first, your work style is superficial and serious bureaucratic habits; second, you have a weak concept of party spirit and put personal affairs above official affairs. He is suspected of forming a small group for personal gain and corruption. The two points he mentioned are obviously referring to something. As the secretary of the provincial party committee, he cannot easily draw such a conclusion for you without grasping the exact facts. Think about it for yourself, what have you done these days to make him come to such a conclusion,"
After saying this, Wang Hai ignored him and quickly hung up the phone.
Wang Xiuguang held the phone in his hand, sat down in the chair in the conference room, waved the service staff who were preparing to clean up the conference room to go out, then covered his face with his hands, and began to think hard: What is going on? , this bolt from the blue, where did the evil wind blow up? Could it be that Secretary Lu already knew that he was from Wang Hai's camp, so he started to beat himself up now.
Just when he was thinking so hard but still had no results, the cell phone in his hand beeped sharply again, startling him.
He raised his cell phone and looked at the caller ID. It was from his old classmate Kang Wenxiang, vice president of the Intermediate People's Court.
Kang Wenxiang was heard saying in panic on the phone: "Mayor Wang, something big happened here. You have to save me, old classmate."
Wang Xiuguang was startled by his words again and asked quickly: "Wen Xiang, what happened to you? Don't be impatient. Speak slowly."
"Mayor Wang, a friend from the Provincial High Court just called me secretly and told me: Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee got the news from somewhere that my treacherous son shot and injured a local tax cadre. He was very angry and made a phone call to our High Court at noon. Director Liu of the hospital gave him a scolding and ordered him to immediately send disciplinary inspectors down to investigate the new problems between Kang Gen and me... Mayor Wang, you know: My traitor had a criminal record a few years ago. , also shot and injured someone. I asked you to come forward and finally settled the matter. Now, if the Provincial High Court sends an investigation team down to pursue the issue of Kang Genxin holding a gun to resist taxes, he will definitely pull out the gun. "Bring Carrot out of the mud and implicate him in the shooting case a few years ago. In that case, not only will my treacherous son be unable to escape the blame, but I'm afraid that you and I will be involved, and we may be sentenced to jail."
As soon as Wang Xiuguang listened to Kang Wenxiang's words, he thought of the problem that he had just been puzzled about, and suddenly realized: It turns out that the root cause of Secretary Lu's criticism of himself at the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee was this matter.
