When Jiang Zhentao came out of Liu Zhankui's office, he felt dizzy and almost fainted. He held onto the wall for a while and felt better. A staff member who passed by saw this and hurriedly went forward to help him up. "Chief Jiang, are you alright?"
Jiang Zhentao's face was pale as he weakly shook his head. "I'm fine. I forgot to take my blood pressure medicine in the morning. You can go back to your work."
The distance from one end of the corridor to the other was only about 30 meters, but it took him five to six minutes to walk. He returned to his office and sat in front of his desk to compose himself. He took out the antihypertensive medicine from the drawer and swallowed it. He then took out a piece of candy from his pocket and placed it in his mouth. His face gradually regained its rosy color. At his age, it was indeed unsuitable for him to continue working, but …
Perhaps it was because he was getting older, but Jiang Zhentao felt more and more frightened. He was anxious and uneasy every day. He kept feeling that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind, but when he turned around, there was nothing. Liu Zhankui was getting bolder and bolder. He had already chased away three County party committee secretaries. Especially when he took office, he went straight to prison. Just thinking about it made him feel scared. Obviously, he also disdained and even hated the new Secretary. If it wasn't for his interference, he would have been the Secretary of the County party committee. Following that, another storm was about to descend.
Jiang Zhentao was involved in getting rid of the previous secretary, and his contribution was indispensable. He often woke up in the middle of the night with cold sweat. He had been suffering from insomnia for more than half a year. He couldn't sleep at all, always thinking about the crimes he had committed. In order to atone for his sins, he specially invited the Buddha from Mount Wutai. Whenever he had time, he would sit in front of the Buddha and repent devoutly. He did not hope for anything else. He only hoped for a safe landing and the health of his family.
He quietly took out the Bodhi Star and Moon Bracelet from the drawer, closed his eyes, and began to chant the Heart Sutra, one by one, to purify his soul. After he calmed down, he thought of something else. He took out his phone and searched for a number for a long time before he locked the door and dialed the number.
"Hello, Old Tian, it's me. Have you been busy lately?"
"I'm not busy. Why did you call me out of the blue?"
Jiang Zhentao said with a smile, "You're in the provincial government now, how would I dare to disturb you? I might be going up soon, so let's have a meal together then. "
"Sure, it's a good time for us old classmates to get together. By the way, I heard that there is a new Secretary in Long'an? "
"Yes, I just arrived yesterday. Do you know him?"
"Lu Yiwei? I know him, but I'm not familiar with him. He was an influential figure in Jiangdong City with a strong background and was highly regarded by the leaders. Besides, he's really good at his job. "
"Oh, then do you know how he came down?"
"I'm not sure about the exact reason, but from what I understand, he originally wanted to promote Gu Wei as the district secretary, but he was pushed aside. There were also people who said that he had offended a provincial leader, which was equivalent to being sent to the border. There were also some who said that he had volunteered to go down, and so on. There were many different opinions, and no one knew which one was true. However, to be able to become the secretary of the County party committee at such a young age, his future cannot be underestimated. "
Jiang Zhentao nodded and said, "Yeah, people can't compare with each other. If you insist on comparing, it will anger people to death. How much do you know about this person? "
"I don't know much about him, but don't underestimate him just because he's young. When he was in the high-tech zone, he took down the secretary of the party committee, two deputy directors, and took care of seven or eight bureau chiefs. He even involved the city and the province. In the end, he was promoted to the deputy secretary of the municipal government without a scratch. When he came to the city, he has been following the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He's very low-key, but during the relocation of the enterprise, he was very proactive and was recognized by the higher-ups. He was promoted in the face of danger, which is enough to show his ability. "
Jiang Zhentao was a little flustered, but he tried to stay calm and said in a low voice, "Do you think he came down to make a transition?"
"That's hard to say. Maybe, maybe not."
Jiang Zhentao did not give up until he got a definite answer. "Then do you know what he likes?"
"I really don't know. But I heard from others that he used to run a coal mine in his early years, so he shouldn't be short of money. As for his lifestyle, I'm not too sure. "
"Oh, alright. Thank you for the information, brother. We must have a drink when we meet again."
After hanging up, Jiang Zhentao lit a cigarette and thought carefully. If Lu Yiwei did not come down to make a transition, with his style, he would definitely do something serious. If he followed the clues and found out about me, I will not be able to keep my integrity. No, I must stand with Liu Zhankui on this matter and kick him out as soon as possible.
With an idea in mind, he walked out of the office and went to the secretarial department. He looked around and waved at Zhang Weidong. "Weidong, come to my office."
Zhang Weidong seemed to understand something and followed him out happily.
"Weidong, after some consideration, you will follow Secretary Lu for the time being. Do you have any objections?"
Zhang Weidong could not hide his excitement and nodded. "No objections. Thank you, Chief Jiang."
As Jiang Zhentao's confidant, Zhang Weidong could not let this job fall on someone else. Moreover, he needed to place a spy around Lu Yiwei to know his movements. "Use your brain more and be smart when you follow Secretary Lu. In addition, Secretary Lu used to be a secretary. He is good at writing. It will not be easy to serve him well. Be prepared to endure hardships. "
"Yes, I know what to do."
Jiang Zhentao took out a folder from the drawer and stood up. "Let's go. I will take you to see Secretary Lu."
After entering the office, Lu Yiwei was seriously familiarizing himself with the situation in Long 'an. Jiang Zhentao carefully handed over the folder and said, "Secretary Lu, this is what you want."
"Oh, put it down first."
Seeing that he did not ask further, Jiang Zhentao said, "Secretary Lu, this is Zhang Weidong, the deputy chief of the secretarial department. He is good at writing. He will help you write the materials for the time being."
Lu Yiwei looked up and did not say anything. He had his own ideas about the secretary. "Alright, draft a detailed report on the development of Long 'an County for me. I want it tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I will write it right away."
"Chief Jiang, wait a moment."
After Zhang Weidong left, Lu Yiwei sat up and said, "From this afternoon, I will start to carry out research on all the units and departments in the county. Draft an itinerary and try to visit all of them within a month."
"Okay, do you have any specific requirements?"
"I am not familiar with the situation in Long 'an. You can arrange it."
Seeing that Lu Yiwei trusted him so much, Jiang Zhentao nodded and said, "Okay, I will implement it now."
"Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice?"
Jiang Zhentao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, tomorrow is the Winter Solstice."
Lu Yiwei had an idea and said, "How about this? Let the hotel arrange a few tables for dinner tonight. Invite the county's retired cadres, old Party members over 70 years old, and old revolutionaries who have made outstanding contributions in various fields to have dinner together. Prepare a small gift for everyone."
"Okay. Who will accompany the county leaders?"
