After saying that, Fang Zhicheng leaned close to Zhong Yang's ear and whispered a few words.

Zhong Yang grinned and sighed: "You are really brave and you are not afraid of small things!"

"If the matter is small, how can it attract attention?" Fang Zhicheng frowned slightly, "Let's just make it big this time, and then completely eliminate the cancer."

After the two discussed the countermeasures in detail, Zhong Yang suddenly mentioned Xu Peng, "He was planning to treat me to a meal yesterday, how about asking him to pay?"

Xu Peng is now a core senior executive of Qinhuai Heavy Machinery. After Qinhuai Heavy Machinery went public, it established a large business unit. Xu Peng is now the main person in charge of this department, in charge of the overall planning and development direction of Qinhuai Heavy Machinery.

Fang Zhicheng had been in Dongtai for a long time, so he had met Xu Peng very few times. Also, because of Xu Jiao, Fang Zhicheng always felt guilty when he saw Xu Peng. He waved his hand and smiled, "He is a very busy man now. There is no need to trouble him."

Zhong Yang shook his head and smiled, "Are you feeling guilty? You are so entangled with his sister that you even disregard the brotherhood?"

Fang Zhicheng had no choice but to let Zhong Yang call Xu Peng out. Xu Peng had changed a lot. His hair was neatly combed and shiny. He was wearing a high-end black suit and pointed brown leather shoes. He looked like a successful person. However, when he saw Zhong Yang and Fang Zhicheng, he did not put on any airs. He ordered two cups of coffee, took off his coat, and whispered, "Are you going to Mengfei?"

Chapter 0309: Irreconcilable Father's Revenge

The black car slowly drove into the community, and when it reached the corner, it suddenly stopped. A man walked out from the corner, pushed the door open, and sat in the back seat. Sun Weiming glanced at the man beside him and sighed, "Zhao Heping, you are too cautious, aren't you?"

The meeting between the county party secretary and the deputy county party secretary was like a suspense plot, eerie and mysterious, which made Sun Weiming feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Heping grinned and said, "Secretary Weiming, you don't know how many eyes there are in Dongtai, watching you and me. If they find out that we are meeting privately, it will be a lot more difficult for you to completely control Dongtai."

Sun Weiming snorted, sighed, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter that makes you so anxious to find me? You and I have discussed that unless we encounter an emergency, we should not meet."

Zhao Heping looked out the window and said, "It's a critical moment now. Someone is targeting me."

Sun Weiming was slightly startled, and said in a deep voice: "You act so cautiously and low-key, who would target you?"

Zhao Heping shook his head and said sinisterly, "I don't know who it is, let alone what it is, but from the current information, it seems that someone in the city is investigating my information. I have a bad feeling..."

Sun Weiming waved his hand and calmly said, "Don't be suspicious. Maybe it's a good thing. Dongtai is in a good situation now. As the parents of the government, it is natural for us to be valued by the higher authorities. However, I know you. I'm afraid you will reject the city's kindness again, right?"

Zhao Heping smiled bitterly and said, "If it's a good thing, how could I not know it? This time it's so fierce, I'm afraid it won't end well. So I hope you can lend me a hand."

"Oh?" Sun Weiming showed a surprised look on his face. "Go ahead. After all, I owe you a favor regarding Qian Dechen. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you solve it."

Seeing Sun Weiming so straightforward, Zhao Heping said softly, "I want to go to the National People's Congress. Can you help me with the process?"

Sun Weiming did not hide his surprise, because Zhao Heping's request was too unexpected for him. Although Zhao Heping's age was already over the age limit, it would take another three or four years before he officially entered the second line. It was a bit unreasonable for him to resign now.

There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. There must be many reasons why Zhao Heping wants to retire. He must have sensed something bad. This not only made Sun Weiming curious, but also wondered what secrets Zhao Heping had.

After a moment of hesitation, Sun Weiming slowly said, "Heping, you and I have been working together for so long, and Dongtai has been rising steadily because of this. We will be able to reap the fruits of our harvest in two years at most. Don't you regret leaving the core of power now?"

Zhao Heping shook his head and said lightly: "I understand the principle of retreating at the peak of one's career. Dongtai has become a popular place now, who wouldn't want to get involved and take a piece of the pie? I'm old now, and now I just want to live a stable life and wait until I retire."

Sun Weiming couldn't tell whether Zhao Heping was telling the truth or lying. He sighed and said regretfully, "If you leave, the Dongtai officialdom will lose a mainstay. It will be much more difficult for me to control the team in the future."

Zhao Heping smiled calmly and said, "Xing Jike doesn't have the strength to fight back now. If I leave Dongtai, isn't this an opportunity for you?"

Sun Weiming's eyes lit up slightly, and he sighed, "I think you should file a report first. As for the Organization Department, I will help you speak a few words. If you are determined to quit, I'm sure no one will stop you."

In official circles, people are only afraid of losing power. How can anyone take the initiative to ask for instructions and voluntarily give up power

If Zhao Heping is really willing to leave his current position, it will be a good thing for Sun Weiming. After all, although Zhao Heping seems to be low-key and never interferes in the struggle between the top two leaders, he has been rooted in Dongtai for many years. Who knows when he will show his fangs

Most of Qian Dechen's report materials were collected by Zhao Heping. Who knows if he has a backup plan to deal with him? The cooperation between Sun Weiming and Zhao Heping was just a verbal agreement. If Zhao Heping turned to Xing Jike, it would be very difficult for him to deal with the two of them working together.

Because Zhao Heping had been the deputy secretary for many years and was in charge of party affairs, although he did not interfere too much in personnel relations, his influence definitely exceeded his own.

Zhao Heping has now taken the initiative to withdraw from Dongtai, which is a matter of great benefits to Sun Weiming. Although he does not know why Zhao Heping wants to withdraw from the Dongtai officialdom, Sun Weiming does not want to understand, nor does he need to understand. He just needs to go with the flow and achieve a situation that is ultimately beneficial to him.

Zhao Heping nodded and smiled: "Then I would like to thank you in advance."

Watching Sun Weiming's black car leave, Zhao Heping lowered his head, and his originally straight back suddenly slackened, like an old man who looked to be over 60 years old. Hunchback and hunched waist have become Zhao Heping's trademark. In Yinzhou officialdom, many people know that there is a Zhao Heping who does not fight with the world, because he became a deputy division-level cadre more than ten years ago, and then never took another step up.

This is not because he is not qualified enough, but because he has politely declined promotions from higher authorities many times.

After walking a few steps along the street of the community, his cell phone suddenly rang. Zhao Heping glanced at the number on the phone, a hint of tenderness appeared on the corner of his mouth. After answering the call, he said softly, "Xiao Qiao, what's the matter?"

Yang Xiaoqiao said softly on the other end of the phone: "Uncle Zhao, didn't you say you would come to Yinzhou this weekend? I want to confirm the time with you. The school has a lot of courses recently and is quite busy."

Zhao Heping smiled faintly and sighed, "Xiao Qiao, if you are too busy with your courses, forget it. I will come to see you next week when you are free."

Yang Xiaoqiao shook her head and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, you should come over. I am under a lot of pressure, and being with you can help me relieve some of the pressure."

Zhao Heping thought for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll come pick you up tonight. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you then..."

Yang Xiaoqiao seemed to cheer happily and suggested, "Then let's go eat Western food. I know a good place and I've always wanted to go there, but no one is willing to take me there."

"It's up to you." Zhao Heping replied with a smile on his face.

Zhao Heping had mixed feelings towards Yang Xiaoqiao. Every time he saw this pretty girl, he would feel an impulse in his heart. This impulse was not a love affair between a man and a woman. Zhao Heping had always been indifferent to matters between a man and a woman. Perhaps it was because he could sense a strange youthful vitality from Yang Xiaoqiao.

Of course, Zhao Heping felt a lot of apology and guilt in his heart for taking care of Yang Xiaoqiao. He used to be a good friend of Yang Xiaoqiao's father and watched Yang Xiaoqiao grow up. After his father passed away, Yang Xiaoqiao, who was originally smart and well-behaved, became much more silent. Zhao Heping believed that his feelings for Yang Xiaoqiao were more like fatherly love. He hoped that after his old friend passed away, he could take on the corresponding responsibilities.

After Yang Xiaoqiao hung up the phone, her eyes were filled with hatred. She knew that the words she had just said were so disgusting and hypocritical, but she had reasons to do so.
