Lu Yiwei pondered for a long time. "This is a serious matter, and I need to consult with Secretary Shao of the Municipal Party Committee."
The staff looked at his watch. "Hurry up. We'll be waiting."
Lu Yiwei took out his phone and pondered for a long time. He felt that it's not appropriate to consult over the phone, and they should talk face to face. It's already 10 p.m., and it'll be 12 p.m. when they reach the city. Shao Zhongjie is already asleep, and he still needs to report back home. But the situation is urgent, and there's no room for carelessness. He must see Shao Zhongjie no matter how late he is. After all, Shao Zhongjie is a member of the Municipal Administration, and it'll be hard for him to explain without his approval.
"Comrade, I'm going to the city to meet Secretary Shao now. You guys stay in the hotel and wait for my return."
The staff replied solemnly, "Secretary Lu, we're here on behalf of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and we're here to consult with you. In fact, we don't have to go through you and take him away. If Zhang Tengfei is alerted because of your complicated procedures, I'm afraid no one can bear the responsibility. "
Lu Yiwei nodded. "I know your procedures, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to take him away without Secretary Shao's approval. Don't worry, we've been monitoring him 24/7. I'll take full responsibility if anything happens. "
The other party's attitude was firm, and Lu Yiwei didn't give in. In his heart, he wanted to take Zhang Tengfei away, but it doesn't make sense to bypass Shao Zhongjie. After several rounds of negotiation, the other party finally compromised. "Then we'll consult both sides. You consult Secretary Shao, and I'll consult Secretary Feng."
"Which Secretary Feng?"
The other party didn't answer, but Lu Yiwei already guessed who it was. "Alright, I'll set off now."
He went downstairs and instructed Guo Jiajun, "Keep an eye on them. Don't act without my order. Also, inform Fu Jiangwei to monitor Zhang Tengfei closely. Nothing must go wrong. "
"Alright."
Lu Yiwei was on his way to the city, while Zhang Tengfei, Deng Zhongyuan, Wen Jianghe, and Liang Haiping were in a hotel.
As the person involved, Zhang Tengfei already knew that someone was secretly investigating him. He had never thought that Lu Yiwei would target him. Ever since the other party arrived, the two of them did not have much conflict of interest. At most, they would raise objections during the Standing Committee, but this was not a reason to keep an eye on him. This meant that there was an expert controlling them from behind.
"Mayor Deng, Lu Yiwei had turned the Finance Department upside down. Everyone is panicking, and 4 people have been arrested. Will it be my turn next? If we let him go on like this, Long'an is going to change. "
Liang Haiping was also having a hard time these few days. Although he was dismissed from his job and had to stay at home, he was anxious to see his colleagues being arrested by the Commission for Discipline Inspection one after another. Many things were done by him. Although it looked like they were arresting small fries, they were actually targeting him and Liu Zhankui.
Ever since he left, the higher-ups did not appoint another Mayor, and Lu Yiwei took control of Long'an in a short period. This was not a friendly signal.
Deng Zhongyuan was not an idiot, and he could see through it. But without a pillar like Liu Zhankui, he was like a headless fly, and he did not know where to start. "Isn't it all because of you?" he said distractedly. What can I do now that I've been caught? "
Liang Haiping's eyes widened, but there was nothing he could do. "Mayor Deng, you're not only the Standing Committee, but also the Executive Deputy Mayor. You're our spokesperson. You can't just watch us being bullied by a foreigner, right? To put it bluntly, if I'm being investigated, it means that Lu Yiwei has a lot of evidence on me. Not only Mayor Liu, but you too. "
Wen Jianghe, who had been silent, was startled. "What does it have to do with me? I've only been a Deputy Mayor for a year."
Seeing his attitude, Liang Haiping said disdainfully, "Mayor Wen, you can't say that. It's as if you've never received money from me."
Wen Jianghe's expression changed. He jumped up and pointed at Liang Haiping. "Liang Haiping, a good dog doesn't bite. If you dare to bite me, I won't let you off easily."
Liang Haiping was not afraid of the Deputy Mayor. He slammed the table and retorted, "Who are you calling a dog? Yes, I'm a dog. If anything happens to me, I'll bite you out."
"How dare you? I'll kill you, believe it or not …"
Deng Zhongyuan slammed the table and said angrily, "Look at you. Do you think you can achieve anything like this? They haven't even investigated you, and you're already scared out of your wits. That's it. I don't care anymore. Do whatever you want. "
As soon as he spoke, everyone quieted down.
"Old Wen, you go back first. Remember what I told you, and get it done as soon as possible."
Wen Jianghe looked unhappy. He flicked his sleeves and left.
As soon as he left, Liang Haiping angrily said, "Mayor Deng, did you see that? Wen Jianghe gave up at the crucial moment. This kind of person is too despicable."
Deng Zhongyuan did not interrupt and turned to Zhang Tengfei. "Tengfei, tell me, what should we do next?"
Zhang Tengfei woke up from his thoughts and said absent-mindedly, "What do you mean what should we do? It's all Old Liang's fault. He can't even do the most basic things. Who can we blame?"
Liang Haiping dared to challenge Wen Jianghe, but he did not dare to go against Zhang Tengfei. He said bitterly, "Secretary Zhang, you don't know how complicated the situation is without your position. It's already not bad that I can do this. For example, the poverty alleviation fund. That's a special fund that can't be erased. I have a headache during the annual inspection, and I have to pay a huge price to get it done. This year, the three ministries will be jointly inspecting the poverty alleviation fund for the past five years. Not to mention that I've been dismissed. Who knows if Li Xuhong can get it done? Judging from the current situation, it won't be easy. "
Zhang Tengfei trembled as if he was facing a great enemy. That was because a lot of poverty alleviation funds had been taken from him.
Liang Haiping continued, "In 2006, the country allocated 150 million for poverty alleviation. 100 million was given to Wang Zhiquan, and the remaining 50 million was used to build the County party committee building. No matter how capable I am, I can't handle such a large amount. That amount is against the rules. Even if it's the County party committee building, it's not justifiable for it to be given to Wang Zhiquan … "
"Enough!"
Deng Zhongyuan interrupted in annoyance, "Old Liang, don't shirk your responsibility at this time. You have to base your words on facts. Did I sign it? If I didn't, then it's your responsibility. "
Liang Haiping was speechless. He choked on his words. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with flying away in the face of disaster.
