In an elegant and chic private room, Chen Xing, Yang Zhen, and Lu Ming sat together. Lu Ming, who had done some research on the art of tea, volunteered to make tea. Listening to Chen Xing and Yang Zhen, Lu Ming sat aside and kept silent most of the time. He became a qualified listener. Talk less, listen more, and do more. This was one of the secrets of survival in the officialdom. In front of Chen Xing and Yang Zhen, Lu Ming knew what role he should play. He just needed to listen.
Yang Zhen, the Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau, was not easy to get along with. During his time as the leader of the investigation team, Yang Zhen kept a certain distance from the officials in Ximen County, giving people a feeling that he was impartial. Lu Ming had tried to approach him, but the result was not ideal. Unexpectedly, there was a silver lining at the end of the tunnel. Lu Ming did not expect that Chen Xing and Yang Zhen were friends, which undoubtedly boosted Lu Ming's confidence in following Chen Xing.
Time passed quietly. Some of the investigators in the city still stayed in Ximen County. With the leader of the investigation team, Yang Zhen returned to Hai City and reported the progress of the investigation team to the relevant leaders in the city. The next day, Rong Peng, the Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau of Ximen County, was taken away by the people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. As soon as the news came out, it caused a great shock in Ximen County.
"Ding!" The crisp sound of a glass falling to the ground echoed in the office. This was a luxurious office in Jinyu Entertainment City in Ximen County. Han Dong, who was half-lying on the big sofa with his legs crossed, suddenly stood up. The wine glass in his hand slipped to the ground, and the bright red wine spilled all over the floor. Han Dong did not notice it. Holding the phone in his hand, he asked incredulously, "Secretary Li, did you say that Han Dong was taken away by the people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection?
Rong Peng was transferred away by the people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Today, the investigation team in the city had all left Xi Men. Presumably, some of them had stayed in Xi Men to investigate Rong Peng. Unexpectedly, Rong Peng had an accident in the end.
On the other end of the phone was Li Shaotong, the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee. Li Shaotong's voice carried a hint of regret and relief. Li Shaotong was the happiest when the City's investigation team had left. After so many days, a huge stone had finally been lifted from his heart. Li Shaotong's fingers rhythmically tapped in the air as he spoke to Han Dong. This was a habit of Li Shaotong when he was in a good mood. Li Shaotong, who loved Peking Opera, would often sing a few lines of Peking Opera in his office.
Compared to Li Shaotong's relaxed demeanor, Han Dong was obviously still in shock. It was not until Li Shaotong urged him on the phone that Han Dong suddenly snapped out of it. Secretary Li, please go ahead.
Little Han, I've said a few words just now, but you didn't react at all. Li Shaotong chuckled. Little Han, Rong Peng's accident is really unexpected. Don't think too much about it. You're no longer an official, so you should take this opportunity to enjoy your life. Although you have resigned now, you still have opportunities in the future. Don't be discouraged.
Whether you have opportunities or not, you still need to rely on Secretary Li's guidance. Han Dong smiled and complimented Secretary Li. I'm already satisfied that Secretary Li is still thinking about me.
Little Han, you're too talkative. Amidst the laughter, Li Shaotong and Han Dong ended the call. Li Shaotong sat in his office with his brows slightly furrowed. Han Dong's resignation was partly due to him. When Li Shaotong persuaded Han Dong, he naturally made some promises. Li Shaotong did not forget to comfort Han Dong's emotions over the phone.
A series of knocks on the door disrupted Han Dong's thoughts. He calmed himself down and shouted, "Come in." The owner of the Entertainment City, Baldy Li, pushed the door open and walked in with his signature Maitreya Buddha smile. When he saw the broken glass on the floor and the red wine splattered on the floor, his smile froze. He glanced at Han Dong, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes. Baldy Li walked up to Han Dong. Chief Han, I just heard that Deputy Bureau Chief Rong was taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
That's true. Han Dong nodded and pointed to the chair opposite him, indicating for Baldy Li to take a seat.
Sigh. Deputy Bureau Chief Rong had been promoted to Acting Bureau Chief and would soon be promoted to the County Bureau Chief. He never expected this to happen. Baldy Li glanced at Han Dong and heaved a sigh.
Han Dong did not answer him. He quietly took out a cigarette and searched his coat pocket. Baldy Li immediately stood up and lit a lighter. "Chief Han, come, I have a cigarette."
Han Dong took a deep puff of the cigarette and felt a little lost. It was really unexpected that Rong Peng would get into trouble. I had hoped that he could take over my position so that he could have a say in the Public Security Bureau. But it seems that God's plan supersedes man's plan. Some things are out of one's control.
Chief Han, with your prestige, even without Deputy Bureau Chief Rong, no one in the Public Security Bureau would dare to disrespect you. Baldy Li's eyes flickered. He looked at Han Dong and comforted him.
Baldy Li, at this time, don't say such words to comfort me. In the officialdom, I've seen a lot of people leave. This time, I can also experience it myself. Han Dong shook his head and smiled.
Chief Han, do you think Lu Ming will be the next Bureau Chief after Deputy Bureau Chief Rong is gone? Baldy Li pretended to say it casually. Without Deputy Bureau Chief Rong, the other people in the Public Security Bureau would not be as prestigious as Lu Ming.
Lu Ming? Han Dong's face flashed with anger. Humph! Lu Ming wants to be the Bureau Chief, but it's not his turn.
It would be great if what Chief Han said was true. I'm just afraid that Lu Ming will become the Bureau Chief. If that happens, our Entertainment City will have a hard time. Look at Lu Ming. He organized several inspections recently. It's obvious that he wants to take action on our Entertainment City. If he becomes the Bureau Chief, Lu Ming might use our Entertainment City as a sacrifice to establish his prestige.
Baldy Li, I think you worry too much. Han Dong glanced at baldy Li and suddenly understood what he was hinting at. Baldy Li naturally understood what he was hinting at. Now that he had received ten thousand yuan a month as a form of filial piety, Han Dong was embarrassed to do nothing. He immediately smiled and said, "Baldy Li, it's not that easy for Lu Ming to become the bureau chief. I will pay attention to this matter.
Haha, with Chief Han's help, I have nothing to worry about. " Baldy Li nodded with a smile.
After sending Baldy Li away, the smile on Han Dong's face disappeared. He stared blankly at Baldy Li's back and fell into deep thought. As for the background of Jinyu Entertainment City, Han Dong did not believe that Baldy Li only had one connection. Han Dong faintly felt that Baldy Li should have another backer in the county. However, the leaders of the county often came to Jinyu Entertainment City to play, and Baldy Li seemed to have a good relationship with some of the leaders in the county. But Han Dong had not figured out who his real backer was. During this period, he had been staying in Jinyu Entertainment City. Many people thought that he had become disheartened after resigning from his post and began to indulge in pleasure. In fact, Han Dong had his own thoughts.
The investigation team from the city had left, and the Acting Chief Rong Peng had met with a mishap. The vacant position of the head of the Ximen County Public Security Bureau had become a hot commodity in everyone's eyes. It was a position of real power, and the leaders of the county had their own ideas about it.
Han Dong went to Li Shaotong's home that night. Even if it was not because of Baldy Li's words, Han Dong himself did not like Lu Ming. If Lu Ming became the director, Han Dong would be the first to raise his hands to oppose it. That was the result he did not want to see. Now that he had lost his position, Han Dong did not want to see Lu Ming being promoted.
Secretary Li, I heard that the county intends to make Lu Ming the director? Sitting beside Li Shaotong, Han Dong maintained a humble and courteous attitude. Li Shaotong used to like him very much, so it was not a coincidence that he followed him.
Lu Ming as the director? Who said this? Why did I hear this? Li Shaotong waved his hand. "Little Han, don't believe the rumors outside. I have never heard of anyone proposing this. Besides, it depends on whether Secretary Wang agrees or not. If Secretary Wang disagrees, the others will not be able to support Lu Ming even if they want to."
"Is that so? So the rumors outside are all nonsense." Han Dong suddenly realized what Li Shaotong meant. His facial expression was perfect, as if he had just gotten the answer from Li Shaotong. But the truth was, Han Dong hadn't heard any rumors about Lu Ming becoming the bureau chief. Han Dong continued, "Secretary Li, now that Rong Peng has been taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Lu Ming has the highest prestige in the bureau. Who knows, he might really become the bureau chief. Lu Ming is not only close to Fang Xiao, but now he's close to Chen Xing. Lu Ming even actively helped Chen Xing with the investigation of the car accident. I think he's just trying to make things difficult for you. If it weren't for him, Ming Bo wouldn't have been sent to court. I also heard that Chen Xing is helping Lu Ming to become the bureau chief in secret."
Han Dong deliberately mentioned Li Shaotong's son, Li Mingbo, in order to provoke Li Shaotong's anger. But then again, Han Dong's trick was very effective. Because of what happened to his son, Li Shaotong had already hated Chen Xing. Since Lu Ming was close to Chen Xing, Li Shaotong would undoubtedly vent his anger on him.
The next morning, Li Shaotong came to the office of Wang Dongchen, the Secretary of the County Party Committee. Li Shaotong, as the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, was in charge of the affairs of the Party and the masses and the personnel. It was reasonable for Li Shaotong to intervene in the appointment of personnel.
Wang Dongchen, the Secretary of the County Party Committee, played a major role in the appointment of the Director of the Public Security Bureau. Li Shaotong did not know whether Wang Dongchen had a favorite candidate, but Li Shaotong's purpose was very simple. He wanted to stop Chen Xing from getting what he wanted. Chen Xing wanted to support Lu Ming to become the director, and Li Shaotong wanted to stop him.
Shaotong, the position of the head of the Public Security Bureau is still vacant. Needless to say, you and I both know the importance of the Public Security Bureau. The position of the director can't be vacant for a long time. Do you have any suggestions? Wang Dongchen smiled faintly and took the initiative to ask for Li Shaotong's opinion.
Secretary Wang, you are the monitor of the County Party Committee. I will support you in whatever opinion you have. Li Shaotong smiled and said very seriously.
There was a faint smile in Wang Dongchen's eyes. After the storm caused by his son's car accident, Li Shaotong had become a little more obedient. Previously, Li Shaotong had not been so obedient to him. Although he knew that Li Shaotong's obedience was only temporary, Wang Dongchen felt indescribably happy when he saw Li Shaotong was as obedient as a cat.
Secretary Wang, I heard that Lu Ming has made a great contribution this time. It is already a certainty that he will be the director. I don't know which busybody is gossiping. As Li Shaotong spoke, he observed Wang Dongchen's expression. This Wang Dongchen is quite a capable cadre. Comrade Chen Xing had just arrived at our Xi Men not long ago, but Lu Ming and Comrade Chen Xing are already very close. The two of them often hang out together, and I even saw them eating together last time.
Really. Wang Dongchen nodded and did not show too much surprise on his face. Li Shaotong, who was beside him, was secretly proud. He thought to himself, "Old fox, keep pretending. I know you well. The calmer you are, the more ideas you have in your heart."
After sitting in Wang Dongchen's office for a while, Li Shaotong put on a very flattering attitude today. He also said some flattering words. After sitting for a while, Li Shaotong stood up and said, "Secretary Wang, if there is nothing else, I will leave first.
Okay, you can go about your business. " Wang Dongchen nodded with a smile and watched Li Shaotong leave.
Regarding the nomination of the director of the county bureau, several leaders in the county met many times. In theory, the director of the public security bureau was nominated by the local government. After obtaining the consent of the superior public security organ, the local government would submit the nomination to the National People's Congress. Of course, the director could also be nominated by the superior public security organ as long as the local government and the party committee agreed. However, no one could ignore the importance of the secretary of the local party committee as the top leader. The nomination and guidance of the secretary of the county committee could even play a decisive role in the appointment process.
Li Zheng was currently in charge of the county government. As for the appointment of the director of the county bureau, Li Zheng was obviously unwilling to be ostracized as an outsider. For this matter, Li Zheng also went to Wang Dongchen's office to sound out Wang Dongchen's opinion and put forward his preferred candidate. Li Zheng preferred another deputy director, Xie Yong, who was in charge of the work of the traffic police.
Chen Xing did not go to Wang Dongchen. As a new deputy county magistrate, if he interfered in the appointment of personnel without authorization, it would inevitably give the feeling that he was stretching his hand too far. Moreover, personnel had always been a taboo in the heart of the top leader. Chen Xing could conclude that Wang Dongchen would definitely not allow others to meddle. If he was not sensible, it would be inevitable that he would be hated by Wang Dongchen. Therefore, Chen Xing did not think about starting from Wang Dongchen. If Chen Xing wanted to support Lu Ming to be the director, he undoubtedly had to take a roundabout strategy and operate from the city.
Chen Xing did not go to Wang Dongchen, but Wang Dongchen took the initiative to look for him. In Wang Dongchen's office, Wang Dongchen, who already had some white hair on his temples, had a kind smile on his face. He invited Chen Xing to sit down. Wang Dongchen said with a smile, "Comrade Chen Xing, today I called you here, I will not beat around the bush. I want to know your opinion on the candidate for the county bureau chief.
Wang Dongchen's words were beyond Chen Xing's expectation. Chen Xing did not expect that Wang Dongchen would actually ask him for his opinion. Chen Xing glanced at Wang Dongchen without batting an eyelid. He could not figure out Wang Dongchen's real intention, so he smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, this kind of important personnel appointment, I dare not casually give my opinion. I support Secretary Wang's decision.
Haha, comrade Chen Xing, you are too modest. I called you here to listen to your opinion. Don't play dumb with me. " Wang Dongchen did not stop there. He stared at Chen Xing with a smile.
Secretary Wang, my only thought is to obey the decision of the city and the county. Chen Xing straightened his body and said seriously.
Chen Xing, you. Wang Dongchen smiled and pointed at Chen Xing. There was a faint smile on his face, but he did not say anything.
Chen Xing left Wang Dongchen's office and looked back suspiciously. Chen Xing was not relaxed at all. Wang Dongchen's move should be to test him. However, Chen Xing would not give up his idea just because of this.
A few days passed. In the city, through Yang Zhen's efforts, the Municipal Public Security Bureau suggested to the county that Lu Ming should be the director of the county bureau. After receiving the document from the city, Wang Dongchen's ruddy smiling face was obviously a little gloomy. The position of the director of the county bureau was vacant, and Wang Dongchen also wanted to support his own people. Previously, Han Dong and Li Shaotong were close. This time, with the car accident, not only did Li Shaotong become more honest, but also Han Dong, who was very close to Li Shaotong, was removed from his position. Wang Dongchen naturally would not miss this opportunity to support his own people. The suggestion from the Municipal Bureau somewhat disrupted Wang Dongchen's plan.
Li Shaotong was also unwilling to see this result. When Li Shaotong saw the document, he went to Wang Dongchen's office again, trying to persuade Wang Dongchen to overturn the suggestion from the Municipal Bureau. However, the astute Wang Dongchen did not reveal his plan.
Secretary Wang, although the Municipal Bureau nominated Lu Ming to be the director, if the county has different opinions, the Municipal Bureau will also carefully consider it. In my opinion, we should put forward our own ideas to the city, so as not to delay for too long.
