Zhang Yiping lived in an old house that she had bought more than ten years ago. It had three bedrooms and two living rooms. After Zhang Yiping was transferred to Hai City, they had moved to a villa community in the city. It was bought by Zhang Guoli in the past. Since Zhang Yiping was transferred back to Jiang City as the First Leader, they moved back to this house from that villa.
Although the house was bought more than ten years ago, the interior decoration did not look old. The living room was also very big, more than 40 square meters. At night, Zhang Guoli personally cooked a table of good dishes.
Aiya, it's Brother Guo Li who cooked. Looks like I'm in luck tonight. When Lin Gang came over, he saw Zhang Guoli wearing an apron and working. He immediately smiled.
Elder Lin, you're here. Quick, take a seat. Zhang Guoli was full of smiles. When he and Zhang Yiping wanted to eat at home, he was often the one cooking, and the others were not surprised.
Zhang Yiping sat in the living room and read some documents. These were some unfinished work from the office in the afternoon. Zhang Yiping brought them home.
When Lin Gang arrived, Zhang Yiping put the documents aside and smiled. "Lin Gang, take a seat. You're not an outsider, so you don't have to be so polite."
Secretary Yiping didn't forget to work even though she was at home. She was too dedicated. Lin Gang sat down, glanced at the table, and said flatteringly.
It couldn't be said to be dedicated, but work that wasn't done had to be done. Zhang Yiping smiled.
At this moment, Zhang Guoli came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup. Yiping, you and Elder Lin don't just sit there. Come to the dining table and get ready to eat.
All right, eat it while it's hot. Zhang Yiping stood up and invited Lin Gang to join her.
Brother Guo Li, come along as well. Lin Gang said to Zhang Guoli, who was still busy.
The last dish will be ready soon. You guys eat first. Zhang Guoli smiled.
Hearing Zhang Guoli's words, Lin Gang and Zhang Yiping didn't start eating until Zhang Guoli came out.
I remember eating Brother Guo Li's cooking in the past. The quality of his cooking wasn't inferior to that of a restaurant's chef. Tonight's dishes also look, smell, and taste great. Brother Guo Li's cooking skills are getting better and better. Lin Gang praised.
I've regressed. I rarely cook now. I can't be compared to before. When has Elder Lin ever tasted my cooking? It was at least a few years ago. Zhang Guoli recalled.
Yes, it was a few years ago. Lin Gang nodded with a smile.
Zhang Guoli laughed when he heard that. Elder Lin, your memory is really good. Come, let's have a drink together. Yiping, you don't mind, right?
After work, what can I say? Zhang Yiping smiled. No matter what, she had to give her husband enough face at home.
At this time, Zhang Guoli took out a bottle of aged Maotai and opened it. As soon as the lid was opened, a mellow aroma of wine wafted out. Zhang Guoli poured a cup for each of them.
After a glass of wine and a few mouthfuls of dishes, Lin Gang looked at Zhang Yiping calmly. After a moment of consideration, Lin Gang finally said, "Secretary Yiping, my good-for-nothing brother-in-law has been taken away by the Municipal Procuratorate for investigation. Can you help me talk to the Procuratorate?"
There was such a thing? Zhang Yiping was surprised. She had thought that Lin Gang was here for Zeng Jing. She didn't expect that it was related to his brother-in-law.
"Don't you have friends in the Procuratorate? They don't want to give you face?" Zhang Yiping furrowed her brows. Lin Gang's simple words had already made her feel that something was wrong.
"They told me that it was Zhu Huadong's order, and they asked for a strict investigation." Lin Gang curled his lips. He didn't want to tell Zhang Yiping about this, but since he couldn't do anything for the time being, Lin Gang had to let Zhang Yiping tell him.
In fact, Lin Gang had connections in the Provincial Procuratorate, but so did Zhu Huadong. Zhu Huadong seemed to be competing with him and even talked to the Provincial Procuratorate. As a result, Lin Gang couldn't put pressure on the Municipal Procuratorate through the Provincial Procuratorate. As for the Municipal Procuratorate, Lin Gang, as the Executive Deputy Director of the Provincial Department, was not as useful as Zhu Huadong, the Deputy Secretary. As the saying went, a county official was not as good as a local official. Lin Gang wanted to intervene in the affairs of Jiang City, but he couldn't. Not to mention that his power was mostly limited to the public security system, while Zhu Huadong was the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
Now that Lin Gang asked Zhang Yiping for help, Zhang Yiping was confused. She looked at Lin Gang in confusion. "Have you talked to Zhu Huadong about this? What did he say?
Zhu Huadong just wants to get to the bottom of this. He doesn't even give me face. " Lin Gang shrugged.
"This is not Zhu Huadong's style." Zhang Yiping frowned. Based on her understanding of Zhu Huadong, this was obviously not his style.
Thinking of something, Zhang Yiping glanced at Lin Gang. "Do you have a grudge against Zhu Huadong?
How is that possible? Zhu Huadong and I have never had any conflicts before. To be exact, we have a good relationship. Just a few days ago, he came to me and asked me to let Zeng Jing go for his sake. In the end, I agreed to let him go as a way to return his favor. At that time, he even thanked me on the phone. It has only been two days, and he immediately became hostile. What do you think is going on? Lin Gang looked a little annoyed. "Secretary Yiping, I suspect that it has something to do with Chen Xing. It is very likely that Chen Xing is behind this. Zhu Huadong should have nothing to do with what happened to Zeng Jing, but he suddenly intervened and asked me to release Zeng Jing."
"Chen Xing and Zhu Huadong used to have a bad relationship. How did they get together?" Zhang Yiping didn't think it was a big deal. Although she had just taken office, she still knew some things about the past.
"That's puzzling. Anyway, I can't think of any other reason. Secretary Yiping, I have to ask for your help. Otherwise, with Zhu Huadong's interference, the Municipal Procuratorate won't give me face at all." Lin Gang looked at Zhang Yiping.
"I'll find out more about this later. As for Zhu Huadong, I'll talk to him and see what he thinks." Zhang Yiping frowned and didn't agree directly. She had her own considerations. Zhu Huadong was an important figure in the city, and he didn't get along well with Chen Xing. In her opinion, Zhu Huadong could be drawn to her side, and he was worth it. Therefore, Zhang Yiping didn't want to agree to Lin Gang's request rashly.
Zhang Yiping's ambiguous attitude undoubtedly made Lin Gang uncomfortable. His face darkened, but he couldn't say anything in front of Zhang Yiping. In the end, Lin Gang had to suppress his emotions.
