Chapter 532: Director of the Public Security Bureau
It turns out that in the eyes of many provincial agencies and city and state leaders, Xu Lizhong is the representative of Secretary Lu. Moreover, because Xu Lizhong is extremely strict in self-discipline and adheres to secretarial discipline, he does not easily interact with these provincial agencies except for necessary work contacts. Therefore, many officials regard drinking tea and eating with Xu Lizhong as a rare honor, and use this to measure the quality of the official's relationship with Secretary Lu.
Because of this, when Guo Guangwei received the call from Xu Lizhong, he couldn't help but feel a little flattered. Subconsciously, he felt the pleasure of winning Secretary Lu's favor. Therefore, he quickly proposed to go out to meet him. The purpose was to pass The way of drinking tea and chatting deepened the personal relationship between himself and Xu Lizhong in one fell swoop.
Xu Lizhong didn't want to go directly to the family area of the Public Security Department to find Guo Guangwei. When he invited him to sit outside, he readily agreed.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Secretary Lu was convening an important Standing Committee meeting to study and deploy the issue of carrying out citizen moral education throughout the province. It was estimated that it would not be completed until the early morning. Moreover, Secretary Lu also told him, He was asked to rest by himself without waiting for him to finish the meeting, so Xu Lizhong walked out of the provincial party committee gate, stopped by the road, called Guo Guangwei and asked where he wanted to have tea, and said he could call him right away.
When Guo Guangwei heard that he was going to take a taxi, he was a little surprised and said: "Director Xu, you are too strict with yourself. You are the deputy director of the Second Secretary Division of the Provincial Party Committee General Office, and you directly serve Secretary Lu. Yes, don’t you need a car to travel? Let’s do this: you wait at the door of the Provincial Party Committee, and I will drive to pick you up myself,”
Ten minutes later, Guo Guangwei drove an Audi car and picked up Xu Lizhong at the gate of the Provincial Party Committee. He took him to a clean and elegant teahouse in Tongsheng Lane, Huafu Road, and found a small box with a root-carved tea set. , asked the waiter to make a pot of Kung Fu tea, waved her out, and then slowly tasted Tieguanyin with Xu Lizhong and chatted wordlessly for several minutes.
Guo Guangwei knew that Xu Lizhong had something to do with him today, so after chatting for a while, he inquired: "Director Xu, I know that you are a busy person, and it is rare for you to come out and sit for a while. Judging from your age, I want to call you brother. If anything happens to me, please just say so. As long as I can do it within the scope of my responsibilities, I will do my best to handle it."
Xu Lizhong smiled and said calmly: "Director Guo, you are too polite. I am visiting you today and I really want to trouble you with something. However, this matter is a bit sensitive and I am embarrassed to speak."
Guo Guangwei hurriedly said: "Director Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it. I don't dare to speak loudly about anything else. But if it is something within our system, I have worked in the provincial department for more than 20 years and served as the deputy director. For ten years, as long as it wasn’t a big deal that broke the sky, I could basically speak.”
Xu Lizhong nodded, picked up the exquisite Kung Fu tea cup, took a small sip, and then said: "This is it: I have a very close friend who is from Xinlang County, K City. He and A businessman named Gong in Xinlang County played very well. It is said that they are still brothers. Just now, my friend suddenly called me for help, saying that the businessman named Gong and several of his subordinates suddenly disappeared. At the same time, Also missing are their family members. They estimate that these missing people were probably secretly arrested by the public security organs. The reason for arrest is probably because his subordinates usually bully the market and violate regulations. question.
"After this incident came out, the businessman surnamed Gong was very worried: because he was a well-known figure in Xinlang County, the so-called big brother in society, and because of some illegal and criminal acts, he was also He once entered the detention center, but in recent years, he has changed his ways and focused on making money in business. He has been very successful. He runs several companies and is a large local taxpayer.
"According to my friend, this businessman surnamed Gong not only makes money, but also has a good character. He is not the kind of gangster boss who just bullies good people on the street by killing, but he can be regarded as a He is a loyal man, but because of his disgraceful experiences in the past, and because his current subordinates also disobey him, disobey his control, and do some unethical things, he is worried. Their affairs would implicate him, so I entrusted my friend to come forward to find connections for him, find out the causes and consequences of this matter, and determine whether he would be implicated.
"I came to you today just to ask you: Is the K City Public Security Bureau taking any action specifically against the businessman named Gong and his men? If so, what is the nature of the matter and the interviews involved? How big is it? Is it a special operation to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil?"
Xu Lizhong's words were more tactful and reserved, but Guo Guangwei, who had been working in the public security system for decades, understood immediately: The businessman named Gong was probably a gangster boss, and this time K The Municipal Public Security Bureau secretly arrested several subordinates named Gong, probably in an attempt to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil, and the target was the businessman named Gong.
However, no matter who the person named Gong is, if he can get someone like Xu Lizhong to intercede for him, then he himself, or his mysterious friend who asked Xu Lizhong for help, is probably an extremely powerful character. ,,You must know that with Xu Lizhong's status and his indifferent personality, if he is willing to stand up and intercede for someone, I am afraid that there will be no two people in the entire Tianjiang Province.
Therefore, he decided: No matter what the role of the businessman named Gong was, as long as he did not commit any heinous crime, he must help Xu Lizhong, because he had already felt that the person who asked Xu Lizhong to help intercede was very He may have a big backer and background, otherwise Xu Lizhong, a provincial party committee secretary who had just been transferred from another province, would not have come forward to intercede for him in person.
So, after Xu Lizhong made a few requests, he nodded without hesitation and said: "Director Xu, I don't know anything about this matter. I will call you immediately to understand the relevant situation. However, I can make it clear. Let me tell you something: our provincial department has not arranged any special operations to combat gangs and evil in the near future. I estimate that the case in Xinlang County is an isolated case. It should have been arranged by the K City Party Committee and Municipal Government, and it may not have been arranged in advance. Report to our provincial department. I will ask about the situation first, and then call the main leaders of K City and the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. If it does not involve any particularly serious major case, your friend's matter should be no problem,"
