"I asked you to come here today because I have a favor to ask of you." Su Qiming changed the topic and said in a much softer tone, "Su Meng's mood has been extremely unstable for the past two days. She locked herself in her room alone, sometimes making a scene, and sometimes crying and laughing. She doesn't want to see anyone. Even her grandpa, who loves her the most, doesn't want to see her, let alone us. I really don't have a choice. I hope you can go over and talk to her. She's basically in confinement now. If anything happens to her, she's my only daughter. "Su Qiming's words were full of concern.
Lu Yiwei knew Su Meng's character. She was tenacious, liked to throw tantrums, and could not calm down when things happened. He really wanted to go and talk to her, but … after thinking for a long time, he said, "Mayor Su, I'm very grateful for your trust in me, but I can't agree to this."
"Why?" Su Qiming's eyes widened in surprise. He thought that Lu Yiwei would agree immediately, but now he actually refused.
"You should know better. Besides, I'm a man. Su Meng is in confinement, so it's inconvenient for her to do many things. You should find someone else," Lu Yiwei said firmly.
"Yiwei!" Su Qiming suddenly stood up and held Lu Yiwei's hand. He said emotionally, "I know I'm sorry, but you can't just watch Su Meng go on like this. After all, after all …" Su Qiming could not finish his words.
"I really can't!" Lu Yiwei continued to insist, "If I really go, it won't be good for your and Su Meng's reputation."
"I can't care so much now!" Su Qiming waved his hand and said, "Yiwei, don't worry. As long as Su Meng recovers and can walk out of the shadow of this relationship, I will definitely not interfere with your relationship. As long as you are willing to marry her, my whole family will support you. Not only that, I want to promote you. Tell me, which department do you want to go to? The Land Bureau, the Safety Bureau, or the Finance Bureau? As long as you want to go to any department, I will do my best to get it. "
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei's heart was bleeding. What was originally a consensual thing had now become a naked transaction. He was no longer the Lu Yiwei of the past. Moreover, he would not take advantage of others' difficulties and use despicable means in exchange for his own career. He said seriously, "Mayor Su, what kind of person do you think I am? Is this what you did for Su Meng? "
Su Qiming also realized that he was too eager for quick success and said, "Yiwei, I know that you're not that kind of person, but you can't just watch as someone dies. If something really happens to Su Meng, then what's the point of me living? " I'm begging you, okay? "
Seeing Su Qiming begging him, Lu Yiwei's heart softened. He closed his eyes and said, "Alright!"
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Su Qiming grabbed Lu Yiwei's hand and shook it, completely forgetting his identity as the Deputy Mayor.
Lu Yiwei immediately regretted it. During this period of time, Zhang Zhiyuan was busy dealing with Ma Linhui and needed someone. If Lu Yiwei left, what would Zhang Zhiyuan think?
"During this period of time, you can put down all your work and focus on accompanying Su Meng. You can stay and eat at my house. When she fully recovers, you can go back to work, okay? "Su Qiming said.
Lu Yiwei wanted to explain, but Su Qiming looked at his watch and said, "Then it's settled. I have a meeting at 10 o 'clock. When it's time, I will go over first. Go back and prepare. A car will pick you up later. "Su Qiming opened the door and walked out quickly.
"What is this!" Lu Yiwei regretted his decision just now. What should he do? But he must think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
Back to the County party committee building, Lu Yiwei went straight to Bai Yuxin's office. After staying up all night, Bai Yuxin was sleeping soundly on the bed. He didn't even notice Lu Yiwei came in. At this time, the County party committee was holding an expanded meeting on the fifth floor. Bai Yuxin should also participate, but because he was labeled as Zhang Zhiyuan, he ignored him.
Thinking of Bai Yuxin's experience over the years, Lu Yiwei felt unfair for him. But this was the reality. How could he change it?
"Yiwei is here." Bai Yuxin shivered and suddenly opened his eyes to see Lu Yiwei on the floor. He stretched and sat up, saying, "Ah! You young people are still energetic after staying up all night. I can't do it. My body is sore now. Come, have a smoke! "
Lu Yiwei took the cigarette and lit it for Bai Yuxin. He didn't know what to say. Bai Yuxin saw Lu Yiwei's shy look and knew he had something on his mind. "What's up?"
"Yes. It's a small matter." Lu Yiwei said.
"Is it about the loan?" Bai Yuxin asked.
"No. The loan has been settled. I think the loan will be released soon. I really want to thank you for this."
"You're welcome!" Bai Yuxin was used to using short sentences to express his feelings. More often than not, this straightforward way of expressing his feelings was more sincere.
Lu Yiwei mustered up his courage and said. "Mayor Bai, I want to go to the city."
Bai Yuxin was troubled, but he still said. "Go ahead. I will talk to County Zhang when he comes back."
"Thank you, Mayor Bai. I will try to come back as soon as possible." Lu Yiwei said.
"Go ahead then." Bai Yuxin did not ask Lu Yiwei what he was going to do. This was a relationship of trust that had been built over a long period of time.
Lu Yiwei was in a dilemma, but Zhang Zhiyuan was in a terrible situation. On the way to the city, he was restless and uneasy. Ma Linhui's case involved Li Hugang, the director of the Municipal People's Congress. Once the news was announced, it would not only cause a sensation in Bei Zhou's officialdom, but it would also shock the entire Xijiang Province. There was no winning or losing in officialdom. The only thing that mattered was who restrained who. If this information fell into the hands of their opponents, they could make a big deal out of it. Li Hugang's opponent happened to be his mentor, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Guo Jinzhu.
Logically speaking, such a major case should first be seen by the head of the Municipal Party Committee, Tian Chunqiu, and he would be the one to decide how to handle it. However, if he skipped Guo Jinzhu and went straight to Tian Chunqiu, it would seem that he was ignorant, arrogant, and treacherous. However, if Guo Jinzhu used this information to deal with Li Hugang, he would offend Tian Chunqiu, and he would not abide by the organization's discipline and the principle of party spirit. What should he do? After thinking about it again and again, Zhang Zhiyuan decided to see Guo Jinzhu first.
When he arrived at the Municipal Party Committee building, Zhang Zhiyuan saw a group of people surrounding Guo Jinzhu as he walked down the stairs as soon as he got out of the elevator. They had probably just finished a meeting.
"Zhiyuan, when did you arrive?" After a burst of laughter, Guo Jinzhu saw Zhang Zhiyuan, who was a little reserved, and took the initiative to ask.
The leaders behind Zhang Zhiyuan and Guo Jinzhu nodded one by one and said, "I just arrived."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Guo Jinzhu saw Zhang Zhiyuan's unnatural expression.
"Well … a little." Zhang Zhiyuan whispered.
Guo Jinzhu looked at his watch and then said to the others, "Gather downstairs in ten minutes. I'll be back soon." After that, he said to Zhang Zhiyuan, "You come with me!"
After entering Guo Jinzhu's office, the secretary Li Xiaochuan took the initiative to leave. Zhang Zhiyuan knew that Guo Jinzhu's time was precious, so he went straight to the point and briefly reported the arrest of Ma Linhui and the results of the interrogation.
Guo Jinzhu immediately became serious and pointed to the information on the table, "Have you seen Secretary Tian?"
Zhang Zhiyuan quickly said, "No, the first thing I thought of was to listen to your opinion." Zhang Zhiyuan was glad that he met Guo Jinzhu first. If he went to see Tian Chunqiu directly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Oh." Guo Jinzhu was very satisfied with Zhang Zhiyuan's answer and said, "How about this? Leave the information here, and I'll study it later. I'll make a decision after I come up with a feasible plan, okay?"
Zhang Zhiyuan was a little anxious and said, "Secretary Guo, Ma Linhui is currently in the Procuratorate, and there is no detention warrant. If we don't take decisive measures, we will be acquitted after 24 hours. What do you think? "
"That's easy!" Guo Jinzhu looked relaxed and picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number. When the other party picked up, he said, "Old Hou, come to my office."
The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was on the same floor, and shortly after, Hou Yongzhi, the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, came over. Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan, he asked in puzzlement, "What's the matter?"
Guo Jinzhu said, "I need your help now. Let Zhiyuan talk to you."
Because he had discussed this matter with the two of them in advance, Zhang Zhiyuan roughly explained it. After listening, Hou Yongzhi asked, "What do we need to do?"
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Ma Linhui is a hot potato in our hands. He definitely can't stay in Nanyang County, and we need Secretary Hou's help."
Hou Yongzhi sat on the sofa and thought for a long time, then said, "How much cash do you think Ma Linhui has in his car?"
"3 million yuan."
"Oh." Hou Yongzhi was like Sherlock Holmes, carefully looking for clues to arrest Ma Linhui, then said, "What else did you find in the car?"
"This …" Zhang Zhiyuan did not personally experience it, so he said, "I'm not too sure about this."
"Where is the car now?"
"It should be detained by the Guchuan County Public Security Bureau."
Hou Yongzhi immediately called the Guchuan County Public Security Bureau Chief, Jiang Yongchang, and said in a commanding tone, "Go and check if there are any suspicious items in Ma Linhui's car now. You must search carefully and not miss a single detail. I'll wait for your call! "
After that, they waited anxiously. Guo Jinzhu's mobile phone kept ringing, and his secretary, Li Xiaochuan, also came to urge him, saying that the other leaders were already waiting in the car, and they could leave now. Guo Jinzhu put on the appearance of a leader and said, "Let them wait. I still have something on hand, and I'll go immediately after I'm done."
The three of them almost held their breath and stared at the phone, not saying a word. Finally, the phone rang, and Hou Yongzhi immediately picked up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yongchang reported apologetically, "Secretary Hou, I'm really sorry, this is our mistake. We only wanted to arrest him, so we didn't search carefully … "
Hou Yongzhi felt that Jiang Yongchang was talking too much nonsense, so he said directly, "Get to the point, did you find anything?"
