Wen Huaiming stood in the living room, frowning, looking at Wen Liang with a somewhat strange look in his eyes. Wen Liang really had no way to defend himself. When the nanny came upstairs and knocked on the door, he was really talking about ideals with Xu Yao, and he didn't even touch her little hand.
"I didn't see you when I came out. If I hadn't sent someone to look for you upstairs, I would have thought you ran away. Secretary Xu is waiting, let's go." Wen Huaiming waited for him to come to his side, and then walked to the study first. Wen Liang walked side by side with him and whispered, "Is everyone gone?"
The reason why he had tricked Xu Yao into going upstairs was to avoid the other people who were gathered in Courtyard No. 1 tonight. Although Wen Liang had been in school, he knew that the news of Yuan Dazhu being taken away could be concealed for only one afternoon at most, and it would spread throughout the Qingzhou officialdom immediately. Within three days, rumors in the market would become more and more intense.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that starting from this afternoon, Qingzhou has officially entered a turbulent period of either this or that. Starting from this afternoon, countless cold eyes are hiding in the dark, looking for any opportunity to take advantage of the situation and deal a fatal blow to the political enemy. With the uneasiness of the camp, no one can be calm in the face of a gamble where winning means life and losing means death; without the hesitation of the camp, it is impossible to get out of the dispute and pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time, unlike in the past. The officialdom is like a coin, with only words and flowers. Being neutral means being out of the game. Without even a chance to gamble, you will lose your future in officialdom.
The curtain has been raised. Tonight will be the time for all those who are qualified to enter to take the stage and perform. Some will rise to the top, while others will fall into hell forever.
When he entered the courtyard just now, Wen Liang saw two or three cars parked in the corner, and Liu Tianlai's police car was also there. These people who were attached to Xu Fuyan's wings were no longer shy at this time. Every person who appeared here would put double the pressure on Zhou Yuanting, especially when the four standing committee members in charge of party affairs, Feng Wenxue, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Niu Guiqing, secretary of the discipline inspection committee, Yang Guangsheng, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Liu Hongjian, head of the organization department, appeared in the No. 1 courtyard of Chunxi Road. Even the dumbest person knew that the secretary who was alone and airborne in Qingzhou had taken over all the political assets left by Zuo Jing, and actually got five votes out of the eleven standing committee members. Except for the vote of the military sub-district political commissar who always abstained, Xu Fuyan could already compete with Zhou Yuanting.
Tonight, Qingzhou is sleepless!
Wen Huaiming kept walking. It took quite a while for Wen Liang to come downstairs. In Qingzhou today, no one dared to keep Xu Fuyan waiting too long. He said hurriedly, "Several members of the Standing Committee left before six o'clock. Just now, two district leaders came to report on their work and left less than ten minutes ago. It's almost the same as we expected. Everyone who should come has come. We just need to wait for Yuan Dazhu to give in. Then we can turn the situation in Qingzhou around immediately."
Wen Liang nodded, with a slightly sarcastic smile on his face: "Don't worry about Yuan Dazhu. With the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission here, it's not difficult to find out how many times he gets up at night, not to mention Ji Zheng, the insider who knows everything about the Qinghua Factory."
Wen Huaiming sighed in his heart. If Wen Liang hadn't pulled Ji Zheng over and keenly found the Qinghua Factory as a breakthrough point, even if Xu Fuyan could join forces with Zuo Jing, it would still be difficult to bring down Zhou Yuanting in one fell swoop. He looked at Wen Liang's disdainful smile, his face suddenly darkened, and he lowered his voice very low, saying: "Be careful with your words later, don't be ostentatious, don't talk too much. Although Xu Fuyan admires you very much, he is first and foremost the secretary of the Qingzhou Municipal Party Committee, do you understand?"
Wen Liang discovered a fatal flaw of Xu Fuyan after only two brief encounters: he was indecisive and gloomy. This was strange, originally two contradictory personalities, but they were perfectly integrated in Xu Fuyan. Taken separately, these two are just shortcomings but not fatal. Indecision can be understood as carefulness and meticulousness, and gloomy temperament can be seen as power without anger. However, as a superior, Xu Fuyan has both, which is a headache for subordinates - you may need to use more arguments and more effort to persuade him to make a decision, which has been reflected in the alliance between Xu and Zuo. But the final result is that you may be appreciated by him and have enough rewards, but you may also be disgusted and lose everything you have, which is entirely determined by his gloomy personality.
So Xu Fuyan is a good collaborator at the current stage, but not the best follower in the future. Wen Huaiming can get everything he never dared to imagine before under Xu Fuyan's command, but when Wen Huaiming gets enough qualifications in Qingzhou, if he wants to jump out of the Qingzhou circle and achieve greater achievements, relying solely on Xu Fuyan is far from enough.
There was a gleam of wisdom in Wen Liang's deep eyes. Perhaps after this matter was settled, he should go visit Zuo Jing.
Watching Wen Huaiming clumsily expressing the love of a father in this era, Wen Liang held his father's hand, the feeling of blood connection between father and son filled his heart, and he said quietly: "Don't worry, I understand!"
The study room was the same as the last time I saw it, with no major changes, except for a small five-star red flag on the desk. Zuo Yuxi was sitting on the sofa, and when she saw Wen Liang coming in, she stood up to greet him. There was nothing to hide about their relationship here. Xu Fuyan sat behind the table, not standing up like last time, with a friendly smile on his face, and said, "Xu Yao is a little naughty, but she doesn't cause any trouble at school, right?"
"She's doing well in school. Teachers and classmates all like her. But sometimes I annoy her, and I don't need to mention the consequences..."
Xu Fuyan laughed: "Xu Yao has learned boxing from her brother for several years since she was a child. I am too busy with work and can't take care of her. It is not a good thing for a little girl to advocate violence. You should help me take care of her when you have time."
This was the first time that Xu Fuyan publicly allowed Wen Liang to interact with Xu Yao. Thinking about the last time Xu Fuyan had warned Xu Yao, Wen Liang understood that he had finally gained Xu Fuyan's initial recognition.
"Come on, everyone, take a seat. Huai Ming, please introduce the situation."
Wen Huaiming briefly described the current situation: "So far, seven people have been summoned by the investigation team, including the director of Qinghua Factory Yuan Dazhu, deputy director Wang Guangming, financial section chief Yang Hua, sales section chief Zhao Dongpeng, deputy manager of the city distribution company Zheng Xiangdong, and the section chief of the industrial section of the Municipal Planning Commission Liang Yi. There is also a deputy director Xia Zhizhong who is currently missing. He has not been found at his workplace or home. Liu Tianlai has arranged for someone to investigate, and there should be news soon."
Xu Fuyan did not comment, and motioned him to continue, "In previous years, the case was handled at the city hotel. However, since the hotel manager was promoted by Zhou Yuanting, we adopted Director Zuo's suggestion and arranged it at the West City Haomen Hotel, which has been closed and under martial law. All the files on the production, sales, and finance of the Qinghua Factory have been seized. The investigation team includes professionals from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Procuratorate, and our Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. They will conduct an audit and comparison based on the relevant materials provided by Ji Zheng..."
After Wen Huaiming finished speaking, Xu Fuyan pressed his brows twice with his fingers and said, "Zhou Yuanting and Fang Mingtang went to Guanshan, and the province will soon be under pressure. Of course, Secretary Zuo and I have already won enough support, but we can't pin our hopes entirely on this. The situation may change suddenly at any time, so we must open up the situation as soon as possible and let Yuan Dazhu speak. So, Huaiming, you will call Huang Yabing in Tonghai District and ask him to organize district cadres to gather at Qinghua Factory early tomorrow morning, notify Zhao Xinchuan to arrange police forces to maintain order, and notify Liu Sheng to hold an on-site office meeting at Qinghua Factory at 8 o'clock tomorrow. Zhou Yuanting is not here, so he will come on behalf of the government." Qinghua Factory is in Tonghai District. Huang Yabing is the top leader and one of the two district party secretaries who surrendered tonight. Liu Sheng is in charge of industry, and he can't get away from this matter. He has to come.
Zhang Fang also left with the others. He couldn't enter the core circle yet. Wen Huaiming quickly remembered these three points and repeated them again. Xu Fuyan nodded, looked at Zuo Yuxi and Wen Liang, and said, "What else do you think?"
Zuo Yuxi had discussed this with Wen Liang long ago and said, "We all know how serious Yuan Dazhu's problem is, and he will definitely not be able to get away. But the most important thing is to catch this handle and make him confess Zhou Yuanting and Fan Hengan's tricks in this bankruptcy reorganization. This must be explained thoroughly to the investigation team, and of course we must pay attention to the methods. Secondly, we are now controlling small people. If big people join the net in the future, how to maintain a smooth transition of Qingzhou during this special period, we must also have comprehensive considerations on this." Zuo Yuxi could only say this, and there was no need to care too much about Xu Fuyan's emotions and dignity.
"Not bad," Xu Fuyan pondered for a moment and praised, "You think very thoroughly and have a long-term vision. These two points are very good. I will consider them."
After some discussion, Wen Huaiming stayed to continue to deal with specific matters, while Zuo Yuxi and Wen Liang said goodbye and left. Santana drove out of Chunxi Road, and Wen Liang took Zuo Yuxi's phone and called Liu Tianlai. As expected, Liu Tianlai did not go far and was waiting outside. The three of them met at the intersection and went to Diyuan Garden one after another. A short security guard in the guard room held his chin and stared at Santana with a dazed look for a long time without saying a word. The new thin security guard asked cautiously: "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"I think of the delicious braised pig's feet."
"Pig's feet?" The thin security guard looked at the taillights of the car. This guy must not look like it, right
"It's okay, you don't understand." Ever since the tall security guard published "Paper Money", he quit his job and the short security guard felt lost.
As soon as Liu Tianlai sat down, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?"
Zuo Yuxi closed her eyes and said nothing. She was exhausted physically and mentally, and didn't want to move at all. Wen Liang drank a sip of water and smiled, "It will be smooth sailing. Uncle Liu, there are a few things you need to do. First, arrange a few police officers to protect Ji Zheng's family 24 hours a day, mainly in the community and daily activities; second, Xia Zhizhong must be found as soon as possible. Xu Fuyan did not let Zhao Xinchuan take over but let you take over. It is a trust and a test. You must do it well. Third, you should be prepared. After the special task force is established, you will be transferred in. This is a good opportunity to make meritorious service..."
