Lu Wanyu tossed and turned in bed. She took out her cell phone and deleted her ex-boyfriend's number. She was depressed for a long time before she fell asleep.
In her dream, she found Fang Zhicheng holding her in his arms, kissing her and caressing her excitedly. The feeling was intoxicating...
The Yinzhou officialdom showed a three-way confrontation. The first was with the strong entry of Song Wendi; the second was the split of the Quan'an Gang, with Xia Xiang hooking up with Wang Guoyong, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee; the third was Ye Mingjing regrouping and trying to regain control of Yinzhou Heavy Machinery by injecting capital into it.
The entanglement of the three forces of Song, Xia and Ye caused a sudden change in the officialdom of Yinzhou. People were in panic, and many officials were either transferred or investigated. Long-accumulated grudges broke out in an instant. Many people secretly exclaimed that Yinzhou was about to change.
In fact, Song Wendi had long wanted to change Yinzhou. Now that Xia Xiang had completely broken with the Quan'an Gang, it was undoubtedly a good opportunity. From the various departments of the municipal government to the team members of the districts and counties, a large-scale adjustment and replacement of blood began. Many people secretly called this round of changes the "Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period" of Yinzhou's officialdom. The peace period was over, and many people had to make clear their positions and choose their camps.
What made Song Wendi unhappy was that the final result of breaking the original power and reorganizing the overall situation was not as smooth as he had originally imagined, and a large number of people still chose to follow Xia Xiang and the Ye family. After Jin Guoding, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, retired to the second line and entered the National People's Congress, the Ye family used their connections to transfer a powerful and capable general Zhang Guoxin from the neighboring city to replace him, while Liu Gangsheng, who had previously been highly favored, was disappointed.
Fang Zhicheng had the habit of cleaning his room every day. One morning, when he was tidying up the bookcase, he found that some books were less dusty. He frowned secretly because these books were bought for show. Song Wendi never had the habit of reading in the office. He took a look and found that they were "Huainan Party History" and "Yinzhou Yearbook".
Fang Zhicheng carefully took out one of the books, flipped through it but didn't find anything strange. He felt something was wrong, so he took down all the books in the bookcase.
At this time, Song Wendi walked into the office with a briefcase under his arm. Seeing Fang Zhicheng making books fly everywhere, he asked in confusion, "Xiao Fang, what are you doing?"
Fang Zhicheng turned around and clapped his hands, saying softly, "The bookcase has not been cleaned for a long time, and it is covered with dust. So today, I suddenly felt like tidying it up. Boss, please sit outside first. It will only take ten minutes to clean it up."
Song Wendi thought that Fang Zhicheng was good in every way except that he seemed to be a little bit of a germaphobe. He himself was also a person who was picky about hygiene, but Fang Zhicheng was even worse than him. Even the window glass in the office was always kept spotless.
Song Wendi took a copy of today's newspaper from the newspaper rack and turned to leave the inner room.
Fang Zhicheng searched the bookcase for a while but found nothing. He shook out all the books and found that one of the hardcover books was not right. It seemed empty and something was rolling inside. Fang Zhicheng carefully pulled out the cover and found a hole in the hardcover book and a black metal device was safely placed inside.
Fang Zhicheng frowned and looked at the metal device carefully. Although he couldn't recognize the origin of this thing, he vaguely guessed that it should be a bug.
Installing a bug in the municipal party secretary's office? This is something so audacious that it's not hard to imagine.
Fang Zhicheng prepared himself, walked quickly to the outer room, put the bug next to Song Wendi's hand, then put his finger to his mouth and hushed, suggesting that Song Wendi should not speak. Song Wendi took off his glasses, his face suddenly became serious, and looked up at Fang Zhicheng carefully.
Fang Zhicheng sent the bug to the inner room again, and then returned to the outer room. Song Wendi sighed in tacit understanding: "Is this why you were flipping through the books in the bookcase just now?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded slightly and explained, "When I was cleaning today, I found that there was much less dust on some books than on other places, so I searched carefully and found what I had found."
Song Wendi showed a grim smile on his face, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and whispered, "Don't make this public in advance, don't alert the enemy. Contact Ding Feng first and ask him to bring someone who is proficient in eavesdropping equipment to come and see what this thing is."
Fang Zhicheng nodded, took out his phone, and called Ding Feng outside the corridor. Fifteen minutes later, Ding Feng and Zhong Yang rushed to the office of the municipal party secretary. Zhong Yang was an expert. He studied the bug and quickly found the switch and turned off the power. He analyzed: "This is a bug model used exclusively by the national security department. Although it can be purchased in the underground market, it is too expensive, so the cost performance is not high. Few people will use this model."
Fang Zhicheng followed his words and reasoned, "Do you suspect that this is a wiretap trap set by someone from the national security system?"
Zhong Yang nodded and sighed: "Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out."
Song Wendi looked solemn, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "We must find the person behind the scenes. Do you have a good plan?"
Zhong Yang stared at the bug and suggested, "We know about the bug, but they are definitely not aware of it for the time being. Since we have planted this time bomb, we might as well make good use of it."
Song Wendi looked at Zhong Yang deeply and nodded, "This matter is only known to the four of us. Later, Xiao Fang, you can reinstall the bug in its original position, and then sort out who has the opportunity to install it in my office."
According to Song Wendi's request, Fang Zhicheng rearranged the books in the bookcase and placed the bug in the interlayer of the original hardcover book.
When he returned to the outer room, he saw Song Wendi's face was gloomy, and his usual elegant demeanor was instantly swept away. Fang Zhicheng saw that Song Wendi was very angry. Anyone who encountered such a thing would feel angry. As a municipal party secretary, how much important information was in his office every day? If all of it was eavesdropped on, what would happen
Fang Zhicheng pondered Song Wendi's thoughts and comforted her, "Boss, I have the habit of organizing things in the office every day. I can assure you that as of last night, there was no extra thing."
Song Wendi's expression eased slightly, he stood up calmly, and said lightly: "Call Minister Qiu to the office this afternoon, I have something to discuss with him."
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, and immediately realized Song Wendi's intention. He prepared to fight a counter-espionage war.
In the afternoon, Qiu Hengde stayed in the office of the municipal party secretary for more than 40 minutes, mainly discussing personnel arrangements for several key departments such as public security, industry and commerce, and taxation. Fang Zhicheng went in to serve tea several times and found that Qiu Hengde was frowning. It was obvious that Song Wendi's arrangement was beyond his expectations.
Qiu Hengde walked out of the inner room with a little depression. Fang Zhicheng quietly followed him a few steps, then leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words. Qiu Hengde showed a look of understanding on his face, gently patted Fang Zhicheng's shoulder, and then walked away with ease.
The next afternoon, the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee was held as usual. The atmosphere in the large conference room was tense and the standing committee members were whispering to each other. It was not until Song Wendi, Xia Xiang and Zhang Guoxin took their seats that the conference room suddenly became quiet.
The first topic was the plan to establish a new east campus for Yinzhou No. 1 Senior High School, the top brand of Yinzhou’s education system.
The plan was discussed for a long time, but the city government cited a lack of funds as the reason, so the plan was left undecided. The Standing Committee members were still divided into two groups. One group suggested applying for special funds from the province, and as for who should apply, they implicitly indicated that the squad leader Song Wendi should bear the main responsibility; the other group suggested seeking investment and sponsorship, using the subjective initiative of departments at all levels to "beg for alms" from enterprises in the jurisdiction.
Song Wendi cleared his throat, interrupted the discussion, and said calmly: "The above two plans have been discussed for more than a month. There is no point in continuing the discussion. Now we will split into two steps. First, as the comrades hope, I will apply for funds from the province as the main start-up capital for the project; second, Mayor Xia will take the lead and communicate with many companies in the city to see if we can get sponsorship fees. After the project is completed, the municipal party committee promises to compensate the companies with the government's publicity resources. Now many cities have put forward the slogan of school district housing and reached agreements with real estate companies. It is still feasible to use school district housing as a resource to get sponsorship fees."
"Let's move on to the next topic, which is the appointment of key officials in several key departments, including the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Land and Resources Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau."
Chapter 0076: Unexpected Counterattack
It was a small detail that almost no one could notice, but Fang Zhicheng always paid attention to the expressions of Xia Xiang and Zhang Guoxin, so he caught the moment when the two looked at each other, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. As the leader of the Ye family who was newly transferred to Yinzhou, Zhang Guoxin had to create a momentum after entering the Yinzhou officialdom, so that he could attract countless followers.
Zhang Guoxin's first move came at this critical moment. He had to fight for the right to speak at the first Standing Committee meeting after taking office.
So Zhang Guoxin opened the brown-covered notebook and turned to the second page. Several people's names were written on it. There was some information under each person. The information was extremely secretive. The Ye family had been rooted in Yinzhou for many years and had planted many spies. The gray information they had investigated was extremely explosive and could potentially implicate a group of people.
Zhang Guoxin circled the first few names, a smile appeared on his lips, and he thought to himself that Song Wendi might not know that he had already made all the preparations.
An extremely secret "super hearing" was installed in Song Wendi's office. He could quickly learn about any action Song Wendi took. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy ensures victory in every battle. Zhang Guoxin was very confident about the upcoming first round of disputes, so he exchanged a glance with Xia Xiang, suggesting that he follow his original plan and give Song Wendi a sharp blow to shake his control over the Standing Committee.
As for Xia Xiang, he was happy to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers. His previous clashes with Song Wendi had made him realize that if he competed head-on with Song Wendi, it would be a thankless task, so Xia Xiang began to change his strategy and made a dark circle in the dark, making it impossible for Song Wendi to find any handle on him while still harassing him.
Now that Zhang Guoxin has come to Yinzhou, Xia Xiang is overjoyed, because with Zhang Guoxin in the front, he can do a better job of mediating in secret, so when Zhang Guoxin sought his help, Xia Xiang had no objection. He discussed with Zhang Guoxin the candidates for positions in several key departments such as the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, the Land and Resources Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau. The two are ready to work together to snipe Song Wendi's layout in these departments.
