Zou Yu smiled happily and said, "I understand. This is what they call giving someone a beating and then giving them some sweet dates?"
Sun Weiming nodded and said, "Wang Jingran has worked in the county government for many years, so he is bound to be a bit arrogant. It's a good thing for someone to give him a warning, so that he knows he needs to rely on me to move forward."
Zou Yu's eyes were a little dazed, and he thought to himself that Sun Weiming had changed a lot recently. They were lovers, and Zou Yu could be said to understand Sun Weiming well, but now he felt that he could not see clearly what he was thinking.
Zou Yu hid his doubts and smiled, "So are you going to give me a stick or a date?"
Sun Weiming was slightly startled, and stared at Zou Yu with a flickering gaze, looking him up and down, and said with a smile: "I'll give you the stick first, and as for the dates, I'll return them to you another day."
Zou Yu was obedient, looking at Sun Weiming tenderly, her eyes were like autumn water, lingering, she put her mouth close to Sun Weiming's ear and panted softly, clumsily untied the belt around Sun Weiming's waist, Sun Weiming suddenly felt that he could not control himself, and rudely reached out to hold the junction of Zou Yu's thigh and buttocks...
Sun Weiming's temples began to throb, and he suddenly realized that the woman on him seemed docile and a little difficult to control, but life often requires adventure. If everything was known in mind, wouldn't it be like plain water, boring
…
Deng Hongguo and Chen Deping were sitting together drinking tea leisurely. The situation was going well, and the two were quite pleased with themselves.
Deng Hongguo said happily: "Xing Jike must be panicking now, right?"
Chen Deping smiled calmly, "Whether we as officials can move up depends on our background and reputation. Xing Jike's reputation in Dongtai is completely ruined. If he still has self-awareness, he will definitely not stay here and add to the jokes."
Deng Hongguo nodded in agreement and said, "Even if Xing Jike is willing to stay in Dongtai, I'm afraid the city will step in to transfer Xing Jike in order to maintain the government's image. Dongtai is now a key area of the city's attention. How can we let a county head with nothing to do occupy the toilet without doing anything? There are many people eyeing this piece of fat meat in Dongtai. Once there is any disturbance, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of others. Now it's not just us who want Xing Jike to leave. There are also many people in the city or other counties who want Xing Jike to get out of Dongtai."
Chen Deping sighed and said with a wry smile, "Xing Jike is really unlucky. He got a good hand but didn't know how to play it. He ended up in such a situation. It's speechless."
Deng Hongguo glanced at Chen Deping and thought to himself that this guy was really hypocritical. He clearly wanted Xing Jike to leave more than anyone else, but he kept saying that he felt sorry for Xing Jike.
Deng Hongguo did not point it out. After all, with Sun Weiming's introduction, the relationship between the two was apparently that of an alliance, so even though Deng Hongguo looked down on Chen Deping, he would not show it on his face.
Deng Hongguo coughed lightly and said calmly: "Old Chen, do we need to discuss what we should do after Xing Jike steps down?"
Chen Deping's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile: "Old Deng, you may as well tell me what you want to achieve. I will spare no effort to support you."
Deng Hongguo whispered: "To be honest, the current division of labor among county heads is not beneficial to us at all."
Chen Deping immediately knew Deng Hongguo's intention. Deng Hongguo wanted to wait until Xing Jike left and before the new county chief took office to re-divide the work of the deputy county chiefs. Chen Deping was in charge of the public security system, and there was nothing wrong with his division of labor, but Deng Hongguo was in charge of mostly unimportant government offices, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to consolidate his position.
Chen Deping looked bitter and sighed: "Division of work for the county magistrate is not a trivial matter."
Deng Hongguo frowned slightly, knowing that Chen Deping would not give in easily, and said in a deep voice: "If Deping, you are willing to support me, I will naturally not let you go empty-handed."
Deng Hongguo also knew something about Chen Deping. In other counties, the deputy county chiefs in charge of the Public Security Bureau often directly entered the Standing Committee and became the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, responsible for the public security, procuratorial, judicial and judicial organs. After Meng Fanchao, the previous Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Dongtai County, was placed under double supervision, the current Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee was appointed from the city. Dongtai is now facing a major reshuffle. Because Zhao Heping's position is temporarily vacant, the new Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Hua Gang, is competing for the position of Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee.
If Hua Gang succeeds in competing for the position of deputy secretary of the Party Committee, then the position of secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission will be vacant, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Chen Deping. Everyone wants to move up, and Chen Deping naturally does not want to miss such a good opportunity.
Seeing Deng Hongguo mention this, Chen Deping smiled calmly and said, "The Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission ranks high in the Standing Committee. With my qualifications, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get this position."
Deng Hongguo smiled confidently and said, "Nothing is difficult if one sets his mind to it. Secretary Weiming is now in the government and relies heavily on the two of us. If we work together, Secretary Weiming will naturally give us priority consideration. Although the position of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission needs to be examined by the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, the opinion of the County Party Committee Secretary is also very important."
Deng Hongguo's words aroused some interest in Chen Deping. Chen Deping still smiled modestly and said, "Okay, let's wait for Xing Jike to withdraw from Dongtai before making plans."
Seeing that he and Chen Deping had reached a consensus, Deng Hongguo picked up the teacup. Chen Deping also took the teacup and gently touched the teacup in Deng Hongguo's hand. The two smiled knowingly, as if they were old friends for many years.
After Deng Hongguo left, Chen Deping stood up and walked to the bedside, with a hint of depth in his eyes. He had been in the Dongtai officialdom for many years, working in the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems, and had always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile, which was completely different from other deputy county governors in charge of public security. This was related to his personal experience.
In the first year after returning from military service, he entered a grassroots police station to investigate a murder case of a young girl. Because it was his first case in life, he spent nearly two months looking for clues and sorting out the clues, and finally pointed his target to a well-known local figure. That figure used resources to put pressure on him from the upper level, but Chen Deping was a young and fearless person at the time, so he withstood the pressure and insisted on investigating the case file.
But the result was disappointing. Not only was the famous person not brought to justice, but Chen Deping was also suspended for investigation. This incident made Chen Deping realize that he should not be too high-profile in everything. Many years later, the person was eventually investigated for other incidents, and Chen Deping also gradually reached his current position, but the impact of that incident on him was extremely profound.
Chen Deping is a man who plans before he acts, and is much more rational than Deng Hongguo. Although the situation is very unfavorable to Xing Jike now, it does not mean that Xing Jike will fail miserably. He has a vague feeling of something wrong in his heart, but he does not know where it is.
At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Chen Deping walked over, picked up the phone, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, because someone he had never expected would take the initiative to call him.
Chapter 0366: Adding fuel to the fire and plotting a reversal
Xing Jike sat at his desk, nervously waiting for the call. According to Fang Zhicheng's guess, a leader from the municipal party committee would definitely call him before five o'clock at the latest. In front of him was a piece of paper with some questions and a brief outline of the answers, which were all prepared by Fang Zhicheng. At 4:48, the landline finally rang, and the voice of Mayor Zhang Guoxin came. Zhang Guoxin was the mayor of Yinzhou, and judging from the work he was in charge of, he was Xing Jike's direct superior.
Zhang Guoxin's tone was heavy as he whispered, "Comrade Jike, I'm sure you can guess why I called you today. What's your explanation for those photos and comments on the Internet?"
"When the fake is made to appear real, the real becomes fake." Xing Jike sighed helplessly according to the requirements of the outline.
Zhang Guoxin raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "So what you mean is that those news are not true?"
Xing Jike then began to excuse himself in a serious manner, saying, "Mayor Zhang, judging from the choice of photos, the wolfish ambitions of the person behind the scenes who manipulated public opinion are obvious. He started planning this conspiracy a year or two ago, which is chilling. I admit that those photos are real, but anyone who appears in public will have some inappropriate expressions or indecent photos. It is obviously too one-sided to accuse me of being a county magistrate with nothing just based on these out-of-context photos."
Zhang Guoxin nodded. What Xing Jike said made sense. From the photos widely circulated on the Internet, one could sense a conspiracy. However, the situation was getting bigger and bigger, and the provincial party committee leaders had already paid attention to it. If no action was taken, it would obviously not be enough to stifle public opinion and restore the image of the Yinzhou government.
Zhang Guoxin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Although there is a strong smell of conspiracy, we must now give the public an explanation. The city just held a party secretary meeting for this matter. At the meeting, the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Propaganda Department both proposed to deal with you."
Xing Jike's heart was beating violently. Just as he expected, the development of this matter was out of control. If it was not handled properly, it would even affect his future career. Wouldn't it ruin his future career if he was labeled as a county magistrate with nothing for the rest of his life
Xing Jike was filled with resentment. He scanned the paper in his hand and read what was written on it: "Mayor Zhang, I think this is unfair! I hope the municipal party committee can give me a channel to resolve this matter fairly, impartially and openly."
"Oh?" Zhang Guoxin looked puzzled and asked curiously, "What kind of channel do you need?"
Xing Jike said in a deep voice: "I hope the municipal party committee will come forward and hold a press conference. I will answer reporters' questions at the press conference. At the same time, I will use my voice to dispel those untrue and false rumors and restore the image of Dongtai and Yinzhou in my own way."
Zhang Guoxin did not expect Xing Jike to be so courageous. In his impression, Xing Jike was indeed a person who could not handle the heavy responsibility. Even if there was no public opinion storm, Zhang Guoxin would have thought of choosing someone to replace Xing Jike. But the conversation with Xing Jike today made Zhang Guoxin see another Xing Jike, which surprised him and touched many thoughts in his mind.
