This is a deal Zhao Xinchuan can't refuse!
Zhao Xinchuan has only one son, who is already the chief of a police station before he is 30 years old. His jurisdiction is in the most prosperous street in Qingzhou, a first-class place to make money. Although his age and position are nothing compared to Zuo Yuxi, Lin Zhen and others, he is still considered to be in high spirits in Qingzhou.
This was the maximum Zhao Xinchuan could do within his authority. Although 1995 was still in the initial stages of reform and the family succession of official power was not as strict as in later generations, there were certain rules and constraints after all. Being able to be promoted to the rank of section chief before the age of 30 was already a result of Zhao Xinchuan's shamelessness and desperate efforts.
In later generations, when institutional reforms were promoted, it was almost impossible to arrange immediate relatives to the department where one was the full-time employee. However, the greatest advantage of Chinese people is finding bugs. No matter it is in games or in life, they can easily find loopholes and seek personal gain for themselves. This also gave rise to another way of rent-seeking power, that is, power exchange!
Therefore, Zhao Xinchuan was lucky to be born in this era. It was much better to promote his son in the public security system than to arrange him in other departments. Wen Liang understood his mentality. For Zhao Xinchuan, his career had come to an end. The only thing he was concerned about was his son's future. If Liu Tianlai could owe him a big favor, his son would have enough to rely on in the next ten years.
Of course, Liu Tianlai alone is far from enough for this matter, so Zuo Yuxi needs to come forward. With Zuo Jing's reputation, there is no need to worry that Zhao Xinchuan will not bow his head.
Being powerful leads to submission, being rich and powerful leads to debauchery, and being poor and humble leads to death. This is the true portrayal of our time!
When Liu Tianlai pushed the door open, Wen Liang was getting water from the water dispenser. When he saw him, he stood up immediately, handed him the cup, and said with a smile, "You look pretty good. Have a drink. Director Zuo is worried that you've lost your mind because of Xu Fuyan's training. How are you? Can you still hold on?"
Liu Tianlai took it quickly, raised his head and drank it all, then wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth and laughed, "What's there to be afraid of! At worst, I can take off this police uniform and ask you, Young Master Wen, to help me come up with an idea. I, Old Liu, will go do business to avoid this wrath!"
For a moment, it was as if the rough and bold Liu Tianlai who had met him for the first time had returned. Zuo Yuxi disliked his vulgar speech, and a trace of annoyance appeared on his cold face. Wen Liang knew that Liu Tianlai was still confused, otherwise he would not be so outspoken in front of Zuo Yuxi. He smiled and asked him to sit down, saying: "If Uncle Liu does business, wouldn't it make An Laojiu have no way to make a living? You can't do such a wicked thing to steal people's jobs, so you should stay in the Public Security Bureau and continue to be a public servant of us ordinary people."
Liu Tianlai's words just now were mostly tentative, and after hearing Wen Liang's words, he finally felt relieved. Although he also believed that Wen Liang and Zuo Yuxi would not give up on him easily, the matter involved Xu Fuyan and the struggle at a higher level, and no one dared to guarantee what would happen.
He didn't show any emotion on his face. He raised his hand and slapped himself lightly on the mouth. He smiled at Zuo Yuxi and said, "I was a little dizzy after being scolded by Secretary Xu. I can't control my words. Director Zuo, don't mind it."
Zuo Yuxi shook his head and said nothing.
Liu Tianlai had no intention of ignoring this beauty of Qingzhou. After making such a big mistake, it was already good enough that he was not scolded. Thinking of Xu Fuyan's furious look just now, he felt a little sweaty.
"Mr. Wen, what should we do next?"
He decisively turned to Wen Liang. The two of them had cooperated a lot during this period. Based on his understanding of Wen Liang, when this young man encountered a problem, the first thing he thought about was how to solve the problem, rather than taking it out on his subordinates.
This is not to say that Wen Liang is more patient than Xu Fuyan. The key point is that he and Liu Tianlai and others have more of a cooperative relationship. Even if he wants to show off his power, he is not qualified.
To be honest, if his focus had not been on another level, he would really want to point at Liu Tianlai's nose and scold him!
"Xu Fuyan is willing to scold you, which means the problem is not serious." This is a simple and clear matter. Liu Tianlai nodded in understanding. "Since Xu Fuyan has no intention of taking you away by force, as long as we can find someone else to take the blame, it won't be difficult to save you."
Liu Tianlai's eyebrows were almost knitted together, and he said: "I am the deputy team leader. If I find someone from below, my weight will not be enough, and I am afraid I can't shut up some people!"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Where can I find the one above?"
"Ah?" Liu Tianlai was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react. He smiled bitterly and said, "I've been having a bad time with Zhao Xinchuan recently. He, he..."
Wen Liang looked at Zuo Yuxi, smiled and closed his mouth. Zuo Yuxi and him became closer and closer, and he understood his intentions without saying anything. He said lightly: "I will talk to him in person. Zhao Xinchuan has a son, right? I guarantee that he will be promoted to deputy director within three years."
"Director Zuo, although I know that life is sometimes just a business, could you please not say it in the tone of someone bargaining for cabbage in the vegetable market? This will make me feel full of despair about the life that has not yet begun..."
A pillow was thrown over, and Liu Tianlai looked straight ahead, as if the two flirting people didn't exist at all. He said happily, "It's no problem for Director Zuo to come forward. So, when can we arrange a meeting with him?"
Zuo Yuxi stood up, her flawless figure in full view, and said coldly: "The sooner the better, the better. Call him and ask him out now."
The conversation with Zhao Xinchuan went more smoothly than expected. In the time it took to smoke a cigarette, the experienced Director Zhao made the wisest decision. Zhao Xinchuan's straightforwardness actually revealed helplessness. The current situation in Qingzhou was actually a happy ending without him. Xu Fuyan no longer had to bear the brunt of his previous double-edged sword, Zuo Yuxi no longer had to bear the grudge for his retreat, and Liu Tianlai no longer had to look at his seat with envy. It was meaningless to continue to be an official at this point. It was better to retreat and maximize the benefits. Why not
Afterwards, the matter was reported to Xu Fuyan, and there was no reason for Secretary Xu not to respond. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government immediately held a meeting and invited the special inspector sent by the Provincial Public Security Department to attend. At the meeting, Zhao Xinchuan took full responsibility. His straightforward attitude and resolute confession of guilt were a model for officials. The inspectors who had come to find fault according to the instructions of Deputy Director Lin Liwen were stunned at the meeting. They could hardly believe that there were such selfless Lei Fengs in the world, and they could not find a single thorn. Finally, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission who was accompanying him whispered: "There have been many heroes in Qingzhou since ancient times. Director Zhao dares to take responsibility, has courage and boldness, and I admire him very much."
The meeting decided to remove Zhao Xinchuan from his post as director and party secretary of the Qingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, and from his post as deputy secretary of the Qingzhou Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee. At the same time, Liu Tianlai, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, was given a serious warning within the party and ordered to make a thorough self-examination at the meeting.
The stick was raised high, but fell down lightly. According to the routine of martial arts novels, the person who was attacked by the backlash of internal force would vomit blood!
Lin Zhen almost vomited blood!
After receiving this news, his handsome face turned blue with anger, and he was even more furious after receiving a call from his uncle Lin Liwen. Lin Liwen warned him that the matter was temporarily over and he should not intervene rashly. Xu Fuyan had taken down a police chief and had already gained the upper hand in public opinion. He had forced a municipal party secretary to this point, and the bigwigs in the province were quite dissatisfied, so it was inconvenient for them to make any moves behind the scenes.
But finally there is good news. Now that Zhao Xinchuan has stepped down and Liu Tianlai has been warned, according to the Party's internal punishment regulations, party members who have been severely warned shall not be promoted within the Party or recommended to non-Party organizations for non-Party positions higher than their original positions within one year. In other words, Lin Zhen, as the executive deputy director, has essentially taken over the power of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. This was also approved at the meeting, and Lin Zhen will temporarily serve as the acting director to handle the daily affairs of the Public Security Bureau!
Because of the conflict in Yuxiangyuan, Lin Zhen had repeatedly asked Liu Tianlai to intercede but was rejected. He hated him very much. Although he failed to take this opportunity to kill Liu Tianlai, he had the upper hand after all. After a brief arrangement, he immediately decided to hold a director's office meeting to adjust Liu Tianlai's division of labor.
What Liu Tianlai holds in his hands are all lucrative jobs that make people drool!
The matter was obvious. Although Liu Tianlai had a good relationship with several other deputy directors, as long as he gave the power in his hands to others, firstly, he could divide and alienate several people and make it easier to control the situation; secondly, he could make more money before leaving, and it would be a big expense to go back to Guanshan to make connections; thirdly, even if Lin Zhen left in the future, it would not be easy for Liu Tianlai to take back what others had taken!
This is momentum. Gaining momentum or losing momentum is just a word away, but the consequences are completely different!
Wen Liang, Zuo Yuxi, and Liu Tianlai gathered in Diyuan again. This time, Wen Liang was not in a hurry. He carefully asked about the details of Guo Changsheng's death and asked, "Who does this Duan Tao belong to? Well, I want to ask who he is close to in the bureau?"
Liu Tianlai understood what he meant, his face darkened, and he said, "He is Lin Zhen's man, and it was Lin Zhen who arranged for him to join the investigation team this time..."
The two looked at each other and said nothing, but Zuo Yuxi did not shy away and said, "Lin Zhen? He shouldn't do such a thing. There is no need. The risk is not proportional to the benefit..."
Wen Liang shook his head and said, "Of course he is not the mastermind, but if someone asks him to pass on a message or to build a bridge, even if something happens in the future, it will be difficult to find evidence to implicate him. With his status, he suffered such a big loss last time, but he can endure it until now, which is already remarkable."
"But this is not the point. Even if we have evidence, we can't do anything to him." Wen Liang smiled, and there seemed to be a different flavor in his smile. Well, it was the smile when you have been threading the needle for many days and finally see the sweater is finished.
"Director Liu, you are in charge of several lucrative departments. It doesn't matter which one Lin Zhen wants, but remember one thing, the big head of the detention center must be given to him."
