Four days later, Longcheng was under total control.
Su Tianyu sat in his office, looking at a pile of documents and dealing with matters related to the visiting delegation.
As the day of travel drew closer, there was more and more work to prepare, which made him busy and exhausted.
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Su Tianyu shouted without even looking up: "Come in!"
Gu Baishun pushed open the door, holding a document in his hand, and walked quickly to the desk: "Director Su, this is the opinion letter sent by the court, take a look."
"Yes." Su Tianyu took the document and started to read it in his hand.
This is not an official document, but a trial recommendation for those involved in the Sanguanghui psychotropic drug case.
Su Tianyu is the most popular eunuch leader of the East Factory in the Lao Li faction. In addition, this case is related to military and politics, so the relevant work on the judicial side must also be consulted for his opinion in private.
Su Tianyu took a quick look and found that the opinion letter recommended life imprisonment for Police Chief Shang Yao. As for the main culprits such as Jiang Zheng and Lu Guangwei, they all recommended death penalty and immediate execution.
After reading it, Su Tianyu put down the document, turned to Gu Baishun and said, "There is no problem overall, but there is one more thing..."
Gu Baishun spoke first: "I know, it's that Zheng Guang, right?"
Su Tianyu nodded: "Yes, he has made meritorious contributions... However, the law cannot be evaded, and the sentence must be imposed. So, after the official verdict is made and the storm has passed, you can find a way to get him out of prison. He is a small figure and does not attract much attention."
Gu Baishun gave him a reassuring look: "Don't worry, I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Having said that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment." Su Tianyu called him.
"What's wrong?" Gu Baishun stopped and sat down again.
"I have to go to the Chinese District in the next few days." Su Tianyu instructed, "I'll leave the General Administration Bureau to you. Especially recently, there are a lot of things going on. Ming Chao and Wawa are also going to get engaged. I always feel a little uneasy. You pay attention and help me keep an eye on District 1."
Gu Baishun replied seriously: "Okay, I understand!"
This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice, and Gu Baishun has long been used to it.
After waiting for a while, Gu Baishun said, "Are you okay?"
"One more thing."
Su Tianyu bent down and took out two exquisite watch boxes from the small cabinet below.
The two watch boxes were exactly the same. He picked up one and handed it to Gu Baishun.
Gu Baishun looked at the box and was slightly startled: "Director Su, this is..."
"I asked Qiqi to find someone to customize a watch for me, two in total." Su Tianyu smiled and said, "One for each of us."
Gu Baishun held the box in his hand, his head a little confused. They had known each other for so long, but Su Tianyu had never given him any gift. This was the first time!
Surprise, joy, a little bit of uneasiness and confusion, all kinds of complex emotions surged into Gu Baishun's heart for a moment.
Thinking of this, Gu Baishun raised his head and couldn't help asking, "Haha, Director Su... why is this happening? You're making me a little panicked."
Su Tianyu reached out and patted his shoulder: "Baishun, when I come back, if I can successfully join the garrison, I may not have the energy to take charge of the General Affairs Bureau. At that time, this will be handed over to you. This watch can be regarded as an advance congratulations on your promotion."
Gu Baishun smiled and said, "You've put me under a lot of pressure. OK, then I'll thank you, boss!"
He felt a little happy in his heart. This was the satisfaction and excitement of finally getting recognition after working hard for a long time.
Su Tianyu's behavior shows that the relationship between the two people is no longer just a working relationship, but more like friends.
Over such a long period of time, the two have worked together and fought side by side, and have developed a certain level of affection and tacit understanding.
If it weren't for what happened in the past, the two might have become close friends long ago, but now, their feelings towards each other are a bit complicated.
After chatting for a few words, Gu Baishun took his watch and left the office excitedly.
…
It was around five o'clock in the afternoon, in the An family's villa.
An Qiqi was wearing comfortable home clothes, with her slender legs crossed, sitting on the big sofa in the living room, holding a laptop in her arms, as if she was busy with work.
At this moment, the door of the entrance hall was opened, and An Zecheng and his wife returned home together.
"Dad, Mom, you're back?" An Qiqi greeted them.
"Um."
The two responded at the same time, and while changing their shoes, they looked at their daughter in the living room and couldn't help but exchange glances.
An Zecheng took off his clothes and hung them on the hanger next to him. He then asked An Qiqi, "We're leaving in two days, and you're still busy with work."
An Qiqi looked at the computer and said without raising her head, "Just go, it won't delay work."
Hearing this, Mother An was speechless and couldn't help asking, "Don't you really know why Su Tianyu took you there?"
As she spoke, she pulled An Zecheng to sit next to her daughter and said earnestly, "Qiqi, this is not an ordinary social interaction. It has a very important political purpose. In a small sense, it is about the relationship between you and him. In a big sense, it is about the relationship between our An system and Lao Li's team, as well as the attitude towards the Chinese district..."
"hehe."
An Qiqi smiled when she heard this, turned the computer screen around and showed it to the two old people.
The two of them looked closer and saw that the screen was filled with information about the main politicians in the Chinese region and officials from Jiangzhou, including their resumes, files, photos, and not-so-secret hobbies.
Seeing this, An Zecheng smiled and was very proud in his heart: "Not bad, the preparations have been made. You have some political acumen...!"
Mother An also laughed. She had originally wanted to remind her daughter of many things, but now she could put them back into her stomach.
An Zecheng instructed again: "Well, before you leave, I will make some arrangements for you. I have prepared some gifts for you to take with you. You can use them when you get to the Chinese District."
An Qiqi nodded and said, "You are still thinking long-term, which saves me from having to make preparations myself."
An Zecheng paused for a moment, then asked, "When is Wawa's engagement party?"
An Qiqi replied: "Two weeks later, preparations have already begun."
An Zecheng pondered for a while and said, "You will be gone for at least one or two months. You will definitely not be able to make it to the engagement party."
An Qiqi put down the computer, poured a cup of tea for the two elderly people, and said, "It's okay, as long as we can catch up with the wedding."
An's mother immediately gave Old An a look. An Zecheng chuckled and said to his daughter, "You are not a child anymore. Find some time to get things done when you come back."
An Qiqi said with a smile: "This is not something I can decide. It must be the will of my parents and the words of the matchmaker!"
An's mother rolled her eyes and said, "You listen to us. When have you ever been able to follow your parents' orders?"
An Qiqi handed the teacup to her: "It works well, it works well. It will definitely work well in the future!"
The three of them laughed. Mr. and Mrs. An gave their daughter a few more instructions before getting up and going back to their room, letting An Qiqi continue looking at the information.
…
That evening, around seven o'clock, in the compound of the Bureau of General Affairs.
Gu Baishun was sitting in his office, wearing a brand new watch on his wrist, working overtime on the documents in his hands.
The watch dial was polished to a shine, without even a fingerprint on it.
Next to the table, there was an unfinished dinner, which was now a little cold.
“Boom boom boom.”
There was a knock on the door, interrupting Gu Baishun's work.
"Enter!"
Hou Guoyu pushed the door open and came in with a document, which he gently placed on Gu Baishun's desk: "Director Gu, take a look at this."
