"Ah? Director Zhao?" Guo Changkai quickly stood up, walked over tremblingly, and said with a smile, "Come here, what is this?"

Zhao Dewen's face was flushed with wine. He frowned, nodded and smiled, "Hey, Lao Guo is here too? I heard that the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee Office were having dinner here, so I came over to toast."

Guo Changkai knew that he did not have such a great reputation to have Zhao Dewen come to toast him. Even Wang Ke might not be qualified. Could it be that Wang Ke had other backgrounds and opportunities

Zhao Dewen held the wine glass and walked straight to Fang Zhicheng, saying with a smile: "Secretary Fang, we came here to toast you a glass of wine."

The others were stunned. Zhao Dewen actually came here specifically to toast Fang Zhicheng

No wonder Wang Ke defended Fang Zhicheng in every possible way. It turned out that Fang Zhicheng had a deep background, but Wang Ke just didn't make it public.

Guo Changkai wanted to slap himself in the face, thinking to himself that he was really too stupid. After so many years in the officialdom, he actually forgot that he must not judge people by appearance. Now that he thought about it, the main reason was that Fang Zhicheng was very low-key from beginning to end, and did not show off, so others mistakenly thought that he was just Wang Ke's subordinate.

Fang Zhicheng took the wine glass and said with a smile: "Thank you, Director Zhao. I hope you will take care of me in the future." After that, he drank the wine in one gulp.

After Zhao Dewen and his companions toasted Fang Zhicheng, they clinked glasses with everyone else one by one and then left the box, which gave Fang Zhicheng enough face.

"Old Yang, you drank too much just now. Are you sober now?" Guo Changkai pushed Yang Jilong, "You were too impulsive. You just scolded Secretary Fang. Why don't you apologize to him quickly?" After Zhao Dewen left, Guo Changkai wanted to mediate and make amends.

"No need." Fang Zhicheng stood up and said goodbye to Wang Ke, "Director Wang, I have something else to do tomorrow. Thank you for inviting me today. I'll leave first."

Wang Ke quickly stood up and said with a smile: "I'll take you there!"

After leaving the box, Wang Ke apologized in a low voice: "My old friends all have strange tempers. If my words were a little too radical today, please don't take it too seriously. I apologize on their behalf."

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled faintly: "Director Wang, you are my old leader and have helped me a lot in the past. How can I be upset about such a small matter? However, they made things difficult for me today. I think the source is still you."

Wang Ke's face changed and he said awkwardly: "I know. These two guys are jealous of me."

After seeing Fang Zhicheng off, Wang Ke returned to the private room. Guo Changkai smiled and said to Wang Ke, "Who is that Xiao Fang just now? Even our Director Zhao gave him such respect?"

Yang Jilong was also very curious. He realized that he had just offended someone. He didn't dare to say anything and stared at Wang Ke, wanting to know something.

Wang Ke was very dissatisfied with Guo Changkai, but he had a good temper and only showed a little displeasure. He said lightly: "Fang Zhicheng is the secretary of the municipal party committee secretary and the savior of the new municipal party committee organization department director. You just went too far and made things difficult for him. I was killed by you."

"Ah?" Guo Changkai suddenly realized that he had just made a mistake and lost a great opportunity. He had always wanted to find a reliable background, and Fang Zhicheng was a good platform. Although Fang Zhicheng was only a secretary, he was a favorite of the municipal party secretary. His words were worth several words from other leaders, and he also had such a special connection with the organization minister.

He rolled his eyes and asked softly, "Can you give me his contact information? I... I can apologize to him in person?"

Wang Ke sneered, thinking that Guo Changkai had gone crazy with his desire to climb a big tree. He had angered Fang Zhicheng, and yet he still wanted to get close to him with a thick face. He was really shameless.

He ignored Guo Changkai and went downstairs alone to pay the bill. The dinner ended unhappily.

After the meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, Liu Qiangdong's face turned pale. After returning to the office, he waved his hand and threw all the documents on the desk to the ground. The division of labor among the Standing Committee members at the meeting was completely beyond his expectations, and he became a spectator. Song Wendi originally proposed that Liu Qiangdong be a member of the Standing Committee and deputy mayor, but was opposed by many people led by Xia Xiang, and finally the proposal was cancelled and replaced with a new plan.

The loss in Liu Qiangdong's heart was indescribable. When he learned that Song Wendi wanted to promote him, he felt a sense of gratitude towards Song Wendi. But now he suddenly realized that Song Wendi only treated him as a pawn.

This was just a cover. Song Wendi didn't even want Liu Qiangdong to become a member of the Standing Committee and a deputy mayor. When the proposal to make Liu Qiangdong a member of the Standing Committee and a deputy mayor was cancelled, Xia Xiang naturally left room for maneuver and approved two other proposals. The first was to have Qiu Hengde serve as the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, and Cao Hongzhang, the former head of the Organization Department, was transferred to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department as the deputy head; the second was to have Zeng Ru enter the list of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, ranking higher than Liu Qiangdong.

Of course, Song Wendi also made a lot of concessions. Jin Guoding will soon step down, and Liu Gangsheng, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, will serve as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. In this division of labor, the party affairs work in Jin Guoding's hands has been gradually transferred to Liu Gangsheng.

Song Wendi was the one who orchestrated this dazzling series of events behind the scenes. Naturally, he was the biggest winner, and Xia Xiang also took advantage of the opportunity to gain a lot of benefits.

"Revenge, I want revenge!" Liu Qiangdong swore viciously.

The Quan'an Gang was originally divided into two major camps. Because Ma Xiangnan was placed under double supervision, the power of his own camp was greatly implicated. Xia Xiang took advantage of the situation to pursue him, and several people who were originally on good terms with Liu Qiangdong all moved closer to Xia Xiang.

Liu Qiangdong wanted to take revenge not only on Song Wendi, but also on Xia Xiang. Liu Qiangdong took out a key from the drawer, then turned around and found the safe in the cupboard. After entering the password, he took out a document bag from it, and then he called Ding Nengren.

Two or three minutes later, Ding Nengren pushed the door open, sweating profusely, and said softly, "Secretary-General, what can I do for you?"

Liu Qiangdong said in a low voice: "Here are some materials. Please arrange for someone to sort them out and send them to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection anonymously."

Ding Nengren took the file bag. Seeing the photos made his face change. He asked softly, "What is this?"

Liu Qiangdong showed a cunning smile on his face and whispered, "The intimate photo of Song Wendi and Zeng Ru dancing. Zeng Ru was able to successfully become a member of the Standing Committee this time. Isn't it because of Song Wendi's support behind the scenes?"

Liu Qiangdong had originally arranged for someone to place a camera in the room, but because Song Wendi was very vigilant, no evidence was left. Although the current evidence is not enough to kill the enemy, it can affect Song Wendi's position in the minds of the provincial party committee leaders and create an image of nepotism.

Ding Nengren realized Liu Qiangdong's intention and promised: "Don't worry, Secretary-General, I will definitely get this done." After that, he hurriedly left the office.

Liu Qiangdong originally wanted to get along well with Song Wendi. If Song Wendi could trust him, Liu Qiangdong would actively cooperate with Song Wendi to attack Xia Xiang. However, judging from the current development momentum, Song Wendi has no trust in Liu Qiangdong. For the position of secretary general, not being able to gain the trust of the municipal party secretary is very fatal!

Since Song Wendi could not become his puppet, Liu Qiangdong had to kick Song Wendi out of Yinzhou and wait for the emergence of a municipal party secretary who could be controlled by him.

Liu Qiangdong is very good at disguising himself. He has his own ambitions deep down, which go beyond most people's understanding of a municipal party committee secretary.

Chapter 0033 The Zhao Family's Strong Strength

The setting sun outlined a pretty afterglow in the sky, and the sunset glow gradually disappeared into the horizon like the ink color eroded by water mist. However, the lights in a room of the No. 1 office building of the provincial party committee compound were on, appearing unusually dazzling.

"Boss, the Discipline Inspection Commission has sent over a document for you to review." Secretary Zhou Kang carefully handed the document to Li Siyuan, the provincial party secretary.

Li Siyuan put on his reading glasses, flipped through a few pages, looked at the photo for a while, and shook his head, "This Song Wendi is really too careless."

Zhou Kang continued to report: "Secretary Guo Yong reacted strongly, expressed dissatisfaction with Song Wendi, and asked the Commission for Discipline Inspection to conduct an in-depth investigation." Wang Guoyong was the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. He had previously disagreed with the arrangement of Song Wendi to serve as the top leader of Yinzhou. However, due to the insistence of Li Siyuan, the provincial party secretary, he finally compromised. Now that Song Wendi had made a mistake, he was naturally ready to give him a beating.
