Jiang Qing's eyes were sharp. When Secretary Wang handed the phone to Minister Li, he saw the caller ID at a glance. He couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh. He lowered his voice and said, "It's a call from Minister Han."
"Positive?" Xiao Zheng didn't know much about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but he also understood that Minister Li just couldn't refuse Minister Gong's plea, but the rank was there, and it seemed that Minister Li was in the right. Therefore, it was difficult to suppress Minister Li's anger by relying on Minister Gong alone.
"Yes. He is the direct leader of Minister Gong. I heard that his relationship with the central government is also very strong. "Jiang Qing was a person of the Long Formation, and he couldn't even figure out the doorways of the military system. There was no hope in the political field. Therefore, he only used hearsay and didn't dare to arbitrarily evaluate.
Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded, then pursed his lips and said, "It seems that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs attaches great importance to me."
First Minister Gong, then the top leader. This was already the highest standard of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
While Xiao was thinking this, Minister Li's heart was filled with an inexplicable rage. What the hell? When did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs become the Pacific police? You even want to meddle in my family affairs?
"Department Head Han." Department Head Li answered the phone and greeted him stiffly.
First the deputy minister, then the chief minister. Minister Li marveled at Xiao Zheng's strong connections in the officialdom, but he was also particularly annoyed.
"Old Li."
Minister Han's very kind voice came from the phone and said with a smile, "Why are you so unhappy with Mr. Xiao?"
"He came to my house to make trouble. I was also forced. "Minister Li's attitude was quite polite. The top leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had always been the direct line and confidant of the bosses. Although Minister Han was currently at the same level as him. But once his term was over, he would definitely be promoted to deputy minister. His political future was bright. But it would be very difficult for Minister Li to be promoted again.
"Mr. Xiao is an upstart in the business world. He has made a great contribution to the country's market economy. It has also greatly improved the status and image of our private enterprises in the world. If it's not a big misunderstanding, Old Li, can you give me face? "Minister Han paused and said calmly. "I'll buy you a drink another day."
This so-called drinking was basically a hint to Department Head Li.
Moreover, if Li Shikai really decided to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister Han's operation was far more powerful than Minister Gong's. The future is brighter.
It was a trade that was neither too big nor too small.
Logically speaking, since the conversation had already reached this point, Minister Li shouldn't continue to harp on it. But this time, he was truly enraged, and he had many thoughts in his mind. Therefore, even if Minister Han came forward, he did not intend to let the matter rest.
"Minister Han, this matter has already spread. If I stop now, I will lose face. But since you've spoken, I won't make things too difficult for him. "Minister Li's eyes turned cold as he pursed his lips. "But we must teach him a lesson, otherwise he will really be out of control!"
The other side of the phone was silent for a few seconds before Minister Han's indifferent voice came through. Are you really not going to give me face? "
These words sounded quite amiable, but Minister Li heard it clearly — Minister Han was going to arm-wrestle with him!
Minister Li's face darkened, and he thought to himself, Fine. In any case, he would not let Xiao Zheng off!
Click!
Minister Han hung up the phone with a slight anger. Minister Li also handed the phone to Secretary Wang and said with a straight face, "What are you waiting for? Take him down! "
Hearing this, Jiang Qing couldn't help but turn pale with fright. Minister Li didn't even give Minister Han face? Could it be that he really wanted to torture Xiao Zheng to death?
Minister Gong also smiled bitterly and thought to himself, It was originally just a family dispute, but Minister Li pushed the whole thing to the height of a political contest.
Minister Li refused Minister Han in public. Would Minister Han give up just like that? Since personal face didn't matter, Minister Han would definitely take action, and even bring out a higher-level big shot to speak.
Xiao Zheng had done the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a big favor. Whether it was Minister Gong or Minister Han, it was impossible for them to sit idly by. First, they had to repay him, and second, it was a matter of face. How could you touch a distinguished guest of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just like that?
The guards were about to make a move, but Xiao Zheng slowly put down his wine glass and stood up with a relaxed expression. Staring straight at Minister Li, he said, "Minister Li, where are you going to send me after taking me down?"
After a short pause, Xiao Zheng said in front of everyone's eyes, "Let me give you a reminder first. I am a Long Formation instructor, a field officer. Institutions with a lower level certainly don't dare to accept me. Military court? Do you think they will follow you to deal with me, or favor me? "
Minister Li's eyes were burning with anger.
He really didn't expect that dealing with Xiao Zheng would cause such a big storm. Even Minister Han came out to stop it. But now he had no way to back down. No matter how hard the bone was, he had to bite it. Otherwise, he would lose all his face.
After a short silence, he took the phone from the secretary's phone again and called one of his capable subordinates, "Hello. Old Yan. You personally go on a mission, come directly to my house — "
"Minister, this —" Old Yan stammered, obviously covering the phone to talk. "I have an emergency meeting here. It only lasted less than five minutes. I may not be able to come out for the time being."
Old Yan was the head of the district bureau and also Minister Li's confidant. Logically speaking, as long as the leader gave the order, he would be at the beck and call of the leader. But what Minister Li didn't expect was that the other party actually stammered and refused to go on a mission.
"What's the emergency meeting?" Minister Li frowned and asked angrily.
"It's an emergency meeting held by the headquarters. The leader personally presided over it, and the directors of each district are all present, "Old Yan explained in a low voice. But when he suddenly saw the leader of the headquarters on the rostrum casting a stern look at him. His scalp went numb and his heart beat like thunder.
Although the Ministry of Public Security didn't have direct management, finance and personnel were all coordinated by the local government. But at the same time, it was also under the command of the headquarters. Regardless of which was more important, since the headquarters had held an emergency meeting, Old Yan couldn't go against the leader of the headquarters and do things for Minister Li. Otherwise, even if he had the support of Minister Li and could keep his position. In the future, if he wanted to be promoted in the police system, it would be extremely difficult.
When Minister Li heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.
A meeting held by the headquarters?
In other words, Jin Shuheng definitely had a part in it?
It was even possible that this so-called emergency meeting was the doing of Jin Shuheng, the second-in-command of the headquarters. The purpose was to cut off Minister Li's escape route.
Well, I haven't done anything yet, and Jin Shuheng already made a move? Is he trying to fight me?
Minister Li's face was gloomy as he glanced at the calm and composed Xiao Zheng. He ordered the guards to keep an eye on him, then took his phone and walked to the side hall to make a call.
You, Jin Shuheng, want to play tricks with me?
Fine, then let's fight!
