Chapter 815: Wealth Road (Seeking the Light of God!)
"Secretary Zhang, the matter of the Propaganda Department..." Lu Rui did not finish his words, but the meaning was obvious. What does this matter have to do with you, Zhang Dong? Was it because you were instructing the article behind the scenes that deliberately smeared the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to publish?
Zhang Dong's face changed, holding the microphone, shook his head and said, "Mayor Lu, don't misunderstand. I just learned about Renqing Daily's affairs just now. Speaking of which, the work of the Propaganda Department is indeed not done properly. How could he be so careless? Such reports can also pass the review."
He is not a fool. If he admits it, wouldn’t he tell Lu Rui that he just wants to mess with him and Huang Zhanjun?
Lu Rui smiled: "I don't think Secretary Zhang is the kind of person who ignores the overall situation. The situation in Renqing City is very complicated now. Various accidents have occurred one after another. The leaders of the provincial party committee and government are paying attention to us. At this time, our team must be united and there must be no accidents."
Since you, Zhang Dong, want to ask for love, I will put a big hat on you first. If it really has something to do with you, I am warning you to be honest. Even if it doesn’t matter, these words are still typing Zhang Dong to let him know what the situation is now. If you want to make small moves at this time, just wait for the provincial party committee to pursue the matter.
"Mayor Lu was joking, and I naturally understand this principle." Zhang Dong replied with a smile: "Actually, this is the case. Comrade Chen Jianmin from the Propaganda Department has worked with me before. Although this person is a little impatient, he is still a good comrade. There may be something wrong with doing, and he has to ask Mayor Lu to take care of it."
Lu Rui's pupils shrank, his arms holding the microphone tightened, and he said slowly: "Secretary Zhang, what do you mean?"
Zhang Dong laughed and said, "It's not interesting to me. I just want to be a peacemaker. I heard that the mayor slapped the table in the publicity department today. I also know that Lao Chen made a mistake in this matter. Do you think this will work? Let him accompany you, and you should just let it go."
His brows frowned slightly, and Lu Rui said lightly: "Secretary Zhang, what do you mean is that I think nothing has happened?"
Zhang Dong laughed: "Mayor Lu is magnanimous. Don't be as knowledgeable as a rough man. I'll discuss Secretary Huang's side, what do you think?"
Lu Rui didn't say anything, but he felt extremely dissatisfied. Zhang Dong was too arrogant and thought he was? As the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, according to the rankings of the Standing Committee, the mayor Lu Rui is the second-in-command leader of Renqing City. Now Zhang Dong, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, said to himself directly, Mayor Lu, my subordinates offended you, let's forget about this matter.
This is clearly a manifestation of not taking Lu Rui seriously.
But Lu Rui cannot turn against Zhang Dong so much. A real politician will not be so impulsive. Although Lu Rui does not have the kind of mind that can embrace all things, he can still do it if he does not show his emotions.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Rui slowly said: "Secretary Zhang, the matter of the Propaganda Department is no longer a question of whether my reputation has been damaged. Think about it, the article published in Renqing Daily directly pointed out that the main leaders of our Renqing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are inaction. Irresponsible, the impact of this matter is naturally extremely bad. Whether it is me, Lu Rui or Secretary Huang of the Municipal Party Committee, attaches great importance to this matter. And I also communicated with the reporter who posted the article. I pointed out the bias of the report, so the reporting matter is no longer important. What is important is, what role did the Renqing Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department play in this matter? Why did the newspaper be published even though I knew that this article might be inaccurate and reflect the main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government? Does it mean that some people think that Secretary Huang and I are not worthy of sitting in this position?"
This sentence made Zhang Dong stunned. Unexpectedly, Lu Rui's reaction was so intense. He just asked him to give him a face and let Chen Jianmin go. Unexpectedly, Lu Rui actually deducted him such a big hat. If Zhang Dong continues to insist on protecting Chen Jianmin, wouldn't he admit that he is the person behind it?
I called out a haha, Zhang Dongdao: "Mayor Lu is too worried. I just have a suggestion, suggestion, haha."
Lu Rui snorted and slowly hung up the phone, but the expression on his face became serious.
Zhang Dong's actions were so strange that Lu Rui had to suspect that he was the shady hand behind the entire incident.
Sitting on the chair, lit a cigarette, Lu Rui felt that the Renqing City bureau was becoming more and more complicated.
The next morning, Lu Rui called Huang Zhanjun, the secretary of the municipal party committee, and then called Wang Qingfei, the propaganda minister of the municipal party committee. Then he took Zhang Qingbin, the director of the Renqing Finance Bureau, toward the provincial capital. No matter what happened in Renqing City, he still had to continue to do what he should do. Lu Rui knew very well.
Zhang Qingbin naturally knew that Lu Rui's purpose of bringing him into the provincial capital was to find people in the banking system to get a loan. He simply followed Lu Rui to the provincial capital, just secretly asking the entourage of the Finance Bureau to bring valuable gifts.
But what Zhang Qingbin didn't expect was that Lu Rui didn't seem to be in a hurry to contact the banking system after the meeting. After the meeting in the morning, he actually rested in the hotel in the afternoon, and there was no movement until after 7 o'clock in the evening. This made Zhang Qingbin a little anxious. He was restless and simply found Lu Rui's secretary Zhang Haiyang.
"Director Zhang, is Mayor Lu resting?" Zhang Qingbin walked to Zhang Haiyang with a smile and asked in a low voice. Although he is higher than Zhang Haiyang in terms of level, no one dares to underestimate this secretary easily. You should know that the person who has the closest relationship with the leader is the secretary. If you offend the secretary, you may be hated by the leader. At the critical moment, the secretary's words may very likely determine a person's future.
Zhang Haiyang was reading the newspaper with a teacup on his back. He shook his head when he heard Zhang Qingbin’s question, "No, I just got up, I seemed to be on the phone."
After sighing, Zhang Qingbin didn't say anything else. After all, he was the mayor and he was two levels away from the other party. So he should just wait honestly.
At this moment, Lu Rui's room door was opened. Lu Rui walked out in neat clothes and saw Zhang Qingbin smiled slightly: "I'm going to find you. I'll clean up and go with me to meet a few friends. Well, Haiyang doesn't need to go, let Master Zhang take us over."
Zhang Haiyang nodded, knowing that Lu Rui should have something to do, so he got up and went downstairs to ask Zhang Jun to drive.
What went beyond Zhang Qingbin's surprise was that the car did not head towards the high-end community in the provincial capital as he thought, but drove directly to the door of a bar.
"Mayor Lu, we are not going to meet the bank..." Zhang Qingbin finally couldn't bear it and asked Lu Rui.
Lu Rui smiled slightly and waved his hand and said, "Just follow me, the friend I will take you to get the money for us."
Looking up at the bar sign, Zhang Qingbin sighed secretly. If you can make an appointment to meet in an unregulated place like the bar, I guess Mayor Lu’s friends would not be such a big shot. At most, they are the head of the credit department, and they are amazing. After all, in Zhang Qingbin’s impression, only those young people who love to play in the noisy places like the bar. If those leaders who are in their prime and have great power talks with others, they will either be in the private room of a luxury hotel or in the secret private room of a club. In short, they are all places with extremely luxurious and generous appearance. How could they go to small places like bars?
As expected by Zhang Qingbin, Lu Rui walked into the bar and led him directly to the private room on the third floor. After opening the door, he found a large group of people inside laughing and joking. The oldest was no more than 35 years old. A man in his thirties came up and punched Lu Rui in the chest, smiling and wondering what he said.
"Oh, it's true that he has no hair on his lips and is not doing things firmly. I shouldn't have placed my hope on Mayor Lu." He sighed secretly in his heart, and Zhang Qingbin retreated for a while, preparing to stay for an excuse to leave here.
Lu Rui said a few words to the man, the man nodded and waved his hand to everyone, "I have something to do, let's get here today."
The people nodded with a smile and agreed, and soon left the private room. Only Lu Rui and Zhang Qingbin were left in the room, plus a man in his twenties sitting with the man.
Lu Rui turned his head and introduced to several people: "This is Director Zhang of our Finance Bureau. This is Luo Yongyuan, my friend."
Luo Yongyuan waved his hand: "Okay, Brother Lu, don't bother, what's the matter?"
Zhang Qingbin's face looked a little bad. He originally wanted to stretch out his hand to shake hands with Luo Yongyuan, but he didn't expect that Luo's surname was so arrogant. He looked so arrogant and didn't take him seriously as the department-level finance director at all. This made Zhang Qingbin, who was also held in Renqing City, feel a little uncomfortable, and the expression on his face became a little unhappy.
Lu Rui took all this and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. This is the case with the young masters from these troops. No matter who you are, you can admire you and want to give you all your heart and lungs. If you say hello, you will definitely help you without any discount. But if you don't like this person, no matter whether you are a chief or a deputy, they are almost the same as a cat or a dog in their eyes. Just like Zhang Qingbin now, it is obvious that Luo Yongyuan didn't like him at all, so he simply chose to ignore him directly. As for the young man who came with Luo Yongyuan, he respectfully called Brother Lu when Luo Yongyuan introduced Lu Rui's identity, he didn't even look at Zhang Qingbin at all.
Pointing to the young man, Lu Rui said to Luo Yongyuan: "Is this?"
Luo Yongyuan smiled and said, "My cousin, I caught him and paid for it today. This kid is so rich. If I have anything to do, I will kill him."
