Wang Xiangjian's motorcade disappeared at the end of Tianlun Road.
Zhang Wei and Major Niu also returned to Xijing. For them, the matter at Tianlun Temple was over.
Manager Ba, Director Dou has not left yet. He smiled and looked at the passing motorcade. The content in his eyes was complicated and incomprehensible.
After this incident, they will face the same problem: how to stand in line in the future.
To be able to sit in their position, it is inevitable to have the support of their respective circles of power. Loyalty to former superiors, relatives and friends, sharing honor and disgrace, and sharing hardships are undoubtedly ideal choices.
But now, they are all in a very embarrassing situation. How to explain it is a very difficult problem.
For Mr. Ba, he took the initiative to put himself in the current situation.
He was once a confidant of the Director of Transportation, Ma Gefei. He could be regarded as the backbone and beneficiary of the Ma family's influence. Otherwise, he would not be able to achieve the position of Executive Deputy Director.
After receiving the olive branch from Wang Xiangjie, Executive Ba did not make such an important choice rashly. Wang Xiangjie is the provincial governor and is in his prime. He has impressive room for improvement. Although the Ma family is in Xijing and even in a certain circle There is great power in the country. But none of the four brothers of the Ma family has yet sat in a provincial (ministry) level position.
It is conceivable that if he continues to follow the Ma family, reaching the department level will be the end of his career; only by following Wang Xiangjie can he have the opportunity to climb to a higher peak of power.
This is a big gamble. There is nothing to explain. There is no need to explain it to anyone.
The look in Magufy's eyes just now said it all.
There was no turning back when he fired his bow. After taking this step, he could only tie himself firmly to Wang Xiangjian's chariot.
Before leaving, Wang Xiangjie specifically told him that in order to avoid detours, he would prepare relevant materials and report to him as soon as possible. If necessary, he would be prepared to invite him to give a special report at a government office meeting.
Magufy also heard what the governor said. Although his expression did not change, everyone present knew clearly: from now on, Executive Ba is no longer under the jurisdiction of him as the director. The matter of the Expressway Investment Management Company has nothing to do with the Department of Transportation. .
For Mr. Ba, such a generous return is satisfactory. This means that he can at least get the position of chairman of the Express Investment Management Company. That is also at the department level.
What's more, he can now be regarded as a model set by Wang Xiangji. The secretary will retire in two years. As long as Wang Xiangji can take over smoothly, his future will not be limited to a mere department level.
Of course, the premise is that he must put up the high-speed investment management company brand beautifully.
Director Dou was forced to do so. It could also be said that he did it half-heartedly.
She had the chance to refuse, but in the end she chose to go with the flow. Although she had a good excuse to follow the leader's instructions, everyone knew that such an excuse was untenable.
There were originally three main forces in Xijing's officialdom. The Ma family dominated many important real power departments and had considerable influence in various cities. It could be described as a huge local snake.
The party headed by the Secretary is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The former governor was also an outsider. The first thing he did after arriving was to force Ma Gequan, the backbone of the Ma family, to leave the position of executive deputy governor and work for a certain company in Beijing. Be the deputy minister of the department.
But he also paid a price. He only served as provincial governor for two years before he was forced to transfer; without the cooperation of the Ma family, he could hardly do anything.
The Secretary is an old cunning guy. He has always maintained a close relationship with the Ma family.
He played a role in the former governor's departure. It was actually an exchange of interests.
After this exchange, the Secretary promoted a group of cadres who had been suppressed by the Ma family, forming a force with him as the core. The next year, he exchanged another important figure of the Ma family, the former director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, to a certain party in the east. Omitted.
Director Dou is one of the officials promoted by the Secretary. But now, Wang Xiangzhen used a very grand reason to put her in a dilemma. Thinking about it gives her a headache...
If the trap against "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" the night before yesterday was only related to the Ma family, after the incident at Tianlun Temple, the brief cooperation between the Secretary and Wang Xiangjie came to an end.
Seeing the Ma family's misfortune, Director Dou had only one word in his heart: Refreshing. Over the years, the local conservative forces represented by the Ma family have become the main force restricting economic development. The Secretary has thought about it, and only encountered a backlash when he contacted him. He retreated when he saw the difficulty; this made Director Dou a little disappointed.
The governor borrowed the help of Executive Chairman Ba to stir up the banner of the High Speed Investment Management Company. The relationship with the Secretary seemed to be harmonious, but in fact it seemed that they were inseparable. All kinds of conflicts were inevitable, especially with the Secretary's broad mind. Once he saw Wang Xiangjie News about the "accidental encounter" between the provincial governor and Senator Lehman. Director Dou's behavior will definitely be considered a betrayal...
But why did she suddenly become obsessed with it? She didn't say hello to the Secretary in advance for such an important matter.
Director Dou glanced at Executive Ba indifferently and focused his attention on the young man named "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" again; was it because of him?
Director Dou was half of the witnesses to what happened the night before yesterday. She didn't hear anything about it beforehand, but she had abundant sources of information afterward. Although the gossips contained everything, with her IQ, she was very sensitive to it. The complex background behind this incident.
In Director Dou's opinion, although the performance of "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" was unexpected, in hindsight it was the best choice.
Afterwards, the difference between Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Liang is not the slightest. Put yourself in his shoes. Director Dou believes that if she faced this trap, 99% of her would have fallen into it.
But "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" did not. He was actually able to make accurate judgments in such a short period of time. He turned the conflict into friendship and had a good time with Xiao Ma.
In Xijing, who doesn't know that Brother Ma is a difficult bastard. Although he has rarely taken the initiative to cause trouble recently, but if "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" is not a bit of a loser, just because of Mr. Lan's teasing of Xin Yun. It's enough to make Brother Ma do crazy things.
Mr. Qin Keqiang is said to be a very good friend of "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang". But after receiving the news that he was suspected of being the suspect who killed Xiao Ma, "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang"'s performance was once again surprising. He did not do anything Anything. But he left Xijing immediately.
This was the first time Director Dou had met such a smart and intelligent young man. It was undeniable that she was attracted by "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang".
Compared with the two of them, Zhu Tong only has many more lawsuits in his head.
Tianlun Temple has been taken down. Qin Keqiang's case has also come to light. Zhang Wei said that the necessary procedures will be completed tomorrow morning at the latest. At that time, Qin Keqiang will be free.
Snow Kuang Monk suddenly turned into Kongxue Living Buddha of Tianlun Temple. It should have been a great and gratifying thing. But when he thought that the director behind it was Jiang Xiaoyu, Zhu Tong could not relax.
There is also the third-grade blue stone that is even more troublesome. Now is the best opportunity to solve the problems left by history. Lan Yu will be arriving soon. But Zhu Tong has not yet figured out how to show off his cards with the opponent.
"You two, how should we arrange lunch?" Zhu Tong smiled and recovered his thoughts. He looked at his watch. It was almost twelve o'clock.
Senator Lehman and his entourage were still playing in Tianlun Temple with Wanjia Shengtuk. Like Kongxue Living Buddha, they were considered unwell and appeared in the procession to see off the provincial governor.
Time in the west is later than in the east. The locals are used to having lunch around two o'clock. But Mr. Lehman and his party are not locals like Wanjia Shengfo. They are still used to having lunch at twelve o'clock.
"I heard that the environment of Manna Spring is good and the food is very special." Director Dou is a professional. He has great experience in reception work and has a relatively good grasp of information.
Manager Ba was in a happy mood. He added: "It's good. I've eaten there. There are several signature dishes in the restaurant that are worth trying. For example, there is no trace of walking on the snow, and the soft intestines are full of joy. The taste is quite good. Drinks... use Tianlun Jade Liquid brewed from nectar spring water will do."
"What is Tuxue Wuhen?" Director Dou asked; "It shouldn't be troublesome to prepare."
"Treading the snow without a trace is like honey-glazed camel paws;" Manager Ba replied with a smile; "Director Dou should know that this dish takes some time. One hour is enough. I am very proud. It will take at least two hours."
"I know. To be so proud is to roast a whole lamb, right?" Director Dou heard the string and understood the elegant meaning; "That tender intestine must be red sheep fat sausage. It's quite interesting. Let's see. Since Mr. Ba has been there .This lunch will be arranged by you. There are five of you. There are fifteen of us here...Mr. Li, four rooms should be enough. The account will be taken care of by me."
"Where can Director Dou spend the money? The provincial governor is here to inspect Tianlun Road. It is our Department of Communications' responsibility to pay for this meal."
Executive Ba and Director Dou settled the matter while chatting and joking. Executive Ba's secretary was already waiting aside. When Executive Ba nodded, he quickly ran towards the source of nectar.
Zhu Tong is a little worried. Dozens of people from Jianghu Road are also at the Source of Manna. I hope the restaurant has enough room to accommodate such a large number of people.
Seeing that Zhu Tong had no intention of entering, the two officials said hello to him and re-entered Tianlun Temple to greet their respective guests.
At this time, Zhu Tong had time to take out his phone and send an invitation to Master Kong Ji, Master Yu Xuan, and Mr. Mei Ye. He asked them to rush to Xijing within two days to attend the first temporary meeting of the Jianghu Council since its establishment.
As soon as I put down the phone, Jiang Xiaoyu appeared.
He had just put on a high hat. At this time, he was holding the high hat in his hand and waving it like a fan. He came to Zhu Tong and said: "Mag Fei is nothing. What you should pay attention to is the fourth son of the Ma family. Ma Ge is a talented person." He is a hateful character. The main thing is that Boss Ma gives the order. Killing and arson are not a problem."
"Ma Jiajie is the son of the eldest son of the Ma family, right?" Zhu Tong asked with a trace of smile on his lips.
"Hehe." Jiang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly and waved his hat and said, "Anyway, I would like to remind Ba, please pay attention to things in the near future. The Ma family hates traitors the most."
Zhu Tong smiled noncommittally. He was almost robbed by this guy. If he took the USB flash drive and used its contents to deal with Ma Jiajie, he would be the one who needs to pay more attention.
"Master Kong Xue wants to see you." Jiang Xiaoyu said again; "He is waiting for you in the Red Hall."
"I'm sorry. I'm waiting for someone. I don't have time at the moment." Zhu Tong looked at Tianlun Road and refused lightly.
Before Master Kongji arrives, he will no longer be involved in anything at Tianlun Temple.
Fortunately, two black RVs appeared at the right time, which saved Jiang Xiaoyu some embarrassment.
