Secretary Zhao had worked for Old Master Yang for more than ten years.
Before Old Master Yang retired, he was already very busy, dealing with various people for Old Master Yang. Now, Old Yang had come down. More and more people were asking Secretary Zhao for help.
Why?
Because when Old Yang was on the frontline, some things were not easy to say, and there were too many aspects that he had to take care of. However, now that he had retired, he had less to worry about when he spoke and did things.
Secretary Zhao originally thought that as long as he stepped forward, this matter would basically be settled. But who would have thought that the other party would be so adamant and not give him any face at all!
Even a clay figurine has three points of fire. Moreover, Secretary Zhao did not put on airs. His communication style was also very gentle and low-key. He did not say or do anything that would make the other party uncomfortable.
But even so, the other party did not relent.
This was a little unreasonable!
Secretary Zhao had worked for Old Master Yang for more than ten years, and it was always others who asked him to do things for them. When had he ever been bullied like this?
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to budge, Secretary Zhao could not be bothered to waste his breath. He called Lin Huayin directly and expressed his attitude.
I can't speak, can I?
Sure.
Then let those who can talk to you find you!
Secretary Zhao walked to the side to make a call with a gloomy face. Minister Li was also a little scared.
Of course, he knew Secretary Zhao's identity. It was impossible for him not to know who the big boss behind Secretary Zhao was.
But as soon as you came up, you told me to calm down and not make a big deal out of it.
What do you mean by that?
Xiao Zheng even came to my house to beat someone up. How could I let go of my anger just like that? Aren't you treating me like an outsider?
Even Secretary Song had made it clear that he wanted to teach Xiao Zheng a lesson. You're just a secretary, do you think you're more powerful than Secretary Song?
It wasn't that Minister Li hadn't considered this matter at all. He also knew that secretaries like Secretary Zhao, who had worked in the central government for many years, not only had a strong background, but they also had solid connections. Even if he didn't rely on the big shot behind him, the power he could use was still quite shocking.
But this matter had already been decided.
Even Secretary Song had spoken. If he released him because of the pressure from Secretary Zhao … On one hand, he couldn't take it lying down. On the other hand, he didn't know how to explain it to Secretary Song.
Secretary Song was the one who set the tone. How could he let them go just like that?
Just as Minister Gong had said before, this matter was no longer a simple conflict between Xiao Zheng and Minister Li. It had escalated into a political contest. He, Minister Li, didn't have the guts to let him go just like that.
Even if Secretary Zhao spoke up for him, he still had to hold on.
However, even though he was holding on, Minister Li was also under a lot of pressure. He also didn't know if Xiao Zheng's connection was directly through Secretary Zhao himself or the big shot behind Secretary Zhao.
Of course, although the possibility of the latter was very small, Minister Li could not completely relax.
Although the possibility was one in ten thousand, the risk was ten thousand.
"Mr Xiao. You even know Secretary Zhao? "The scene was getting more and more lively, and Department Head Gong was also showing signs of being marginalized.
It was laughable that even a deputy minister like her couldn't solve the problem. She was even marginalized. Department Head Gong really didn't expect the power behind Xiao Zheng to be so great.
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have come here to embarrass herself. It would have been better to take the phone call.
"I don't know him." Xiao Zheng took a sip of champagne and narrowed his dark eyes.
He didn't even know what Secretary Zhao did. But judging from the reactions of Minister Li and Minister Gong, this Secretary Zhao should have a very powerful background.
How powerful was he?
Xiao Zheng noticed that whether it was Minister Han or the connections that Minister Han used before, they couldn't completely subdue Department Head Li.
But now that Secretary Zhao went to make a call, Department Head Li was obviously a little restless. He didn't stay for a few seconds and also took the phone to the side hall.
"You don't know him?" Department Head Gong said in surprise. "Mr Xiao, do you really not know him or are you playing dumb with me?"
Xiao Zheng heard the slightly complaining tone in Department Head Gong's voice. Yes. He had personally come to help you coordinate. If you still hide it, it would be too rude.
"Department Head Gong, I really don't know him." Xiao Zheng said with a bitter smile. "Didn't you notice? As soon as Secretary Zhao entered the room, he went straight to Department Head Li and glanced at us. Didn't he also not recognize me? "
Hearing this, Department Head Gong also nodded, feeling that she had wronged Xiao Zheng. She couldn't help but smile and said, "I think not only did I come here for nothing, but it's also a little extra. If I had known that you had such powerful external help, Department Head Han and I wouldn't have come here to show off. "
Xiao Zheng said helplessly, "Department Head Gong, don't make fun of me. I'm just a small businessman with no money, how can I have so much power? "
Department Head Gong smiled and didn't probe further.
This matter was indeed hard to say. To make Xiao Zheng admit that he was very powerful? If he were a normal person, he wouldn't be so high-profile. But Secretary Zhao was here for him. How could he have nothing to do with him?
This matter was a competition between the higher-ups. If they weren't close to a certain extent, who would be willing to get involved?
In other words, even if Secretary Zhao didn't know Xiao Zheng, he must have a close relationship with someone who was very close to Xiao Zheng. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to plead.
This matter was really getting bigger and bigger.
On the other side, Department Head Gong was puzzled. On the other side, Department Head Li's thoughts were completely in a mess. He couldn't figure out the situation.
He just called Secretary Song again. But the only answer he got was a cold sentence: Don't do anything, I'll be there right away.
What happened to Secretary Song?
Was he as infuriated as he was?
Or was it the other way around?
Even Secretary Song couldn't bear the pressure? Was he going to personally mediate?
After hanging up the phone, Department Head Li was extremely worried. He didn't know whether to sit or stand. His face had long lost the initial confidence. All that was left was fear and trepidation.
Seeing his father like this, Li Shikai looked at Xiao Zheng again. His heart was also extremely complicated.
How could this kid be so powerful?
He hit someone in the courtyard of the Standing Committee, in the house of a senior provincial official, and it was even a guard. Even being detained for a week was so difficult?
Who on earth was he?
Just as everyone was racking their brains to figure out how this battle would end, a few figures appeared at the door of Department Head Li's house.
Every single figure shocked everyone present to the point they were dumbstruck and unable to maintain their composure …
The first person that came into view was Secretary Song, who had just hung up the phone with Department Head Li.
On the phone, he was cold and ruthless, but at this moment, his face was full of smiles. He turned his body slightly and was a little behind, chatting with the old man in casual clothes next to him.
Where was the demeanor of a leader?
It was like a student talking to a teacher!
However, the moment everyone in the living room saw the old man, their hearts immediately turned upside down!
It was actually Old Yang!?!
