Zhang Yiping was obviously involved in Lin Qing's spy case, and the situation was more serious than Chen Xing thought. Otherwise, it wouldn't have ended up like this.
Chen Xing had contacted Lin Qing many times, but Huang Xingrui only had a simple conversation with him and made a routine record. After that, Huang Xingrui didn't look for him again.
Chen Xing knew that there was no problem between him and Lin Qing, so he wasn't afraid that Huang Xingrui would come to talk to him. As for Zhang Yiping, from the time Huang Xingrui came to visit her two days ago until today, when the higher-ups asked her to resign from her job with the excuse of being sick. How big of a problem could there be? Perhaps the more he thought about it, the more frightening it was.
He looked at the time. It was past nine o 'clock in the evening. Obviously, the instructions from the higher-ups were urgent, and the problem about Zhang Yiping had probably been put on the table of the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee. Otherwise, the provincial government wouldn't have called him over at this time. Zhang Yiping should have received the notice by now.
Chen Xing's guess was right. When Zheng Zongming, the head of the Organization Department, called him over, Zhang Yiping received the notice at home. It was the secretary general of the Provincial Party Committee, Qian Dongchuan. Qian Dongchuan had a simple conversation with Zhang Yiping. He told Zhang Yiping that she was now under surveillance and that she'd better cooperate.
To be exact, not only Zhang Yiping, but Zhang Guoli was also restricted. The couple could only stay at home and wait for the next step.
Qian Dongchuan stayed for a while and then left, leaving only Zhang Yiping and Zhang Guoli in the house.
Zhang Yiping's face was a little pale. When Huang Xingrui came to find her two days ago, Zhang Yiping knew that such a day would come, but Zhang Yiping didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. It was so fast that she was unprepared.
Zhang Guoli didn't know about his wife's contact with Lin Qing. He only vaguely heard his wife mention Lin Qing a few times, but he didn't know what kind of relationship his wife had with Lin Qing, nor did he know who Lin Qing was. At this moment, facing this sudden change, Zhang Guoli's panic could be imagined.
After Qian Dongchuan left, Zhang Guoli asked Zhang Yiping anxiously, "Yiping, what's going on with Lin Qing?
Maybe she's a spy from abroad. " Zhang Yiping smiled bitterly.
Foreign spies? How did you come into contact with someone like her? Yiping, you … you're clearly doing something stupid. Zhang Guoli was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. Seeing his wife's expression, Zhang Guoli couldn't bear to say anything too harsh.
It's useless to say all this now. If I had known that she was a foreign spy, would I have had any contact with her? Zhang Yiping shook her head. Since it had already happened, there was no point in talking about it. She didn't expect that she, Zhang Yiping, had schemed countless times in her life, but in the end, she still fell because of her own cleverness.
It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be. Zhang Guoli muttered to himself. His wife had just been transferred to Rivertown not long ago. She had become the leader of Rivertown in a glorious manner. It was the most glorious time for their family. How did things turn out like this?
Zhang Guoli couldn't accept it. He even thought that his wife could advance further and their Zhang family could become even more glorious, but the reality was so cruel.
The cruelty of reality was not imposed on them by others, but they had brought it upon themselves.
It was a sleepless night, at least for Chen Xing, Zhang Yiping, and Zhang Guoli.
Zhang Ran didn't know that she didn't live at home. She usually lived separately from her parents. This time, she was temporarily not affected. She didn't know some of the things her mother had done and some of the people she came into contact with. Zhang Yiping, who had been put under surveillance, couldn't even make a phone call.
It was a quiet night. The next day, Rivertown held a city-wide meeting of cadres. As the leader, Zhang Yiping was absent. When the meeting began, when the cadres saw that Zhang Yiping's seat on the stage was still empty, many of them began to whisper. Zheng Zongming, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, was entrusted by the Provincial Party Committee to attend the meeting. He announced at the meeting that Zhang Yiping had asked for a long period of sick leave due to health reasons. Since Zhang Yiping couldn't work, the work of the Municipal Party Committee would be temporarily presided over by Comrade Chen Xing.
It could be said that the official wording and approach were very mild. Although they had decided to let Zhang Yiping resign on her own, the first thing they announced was that Zhang Yiping had asked for a long period of sick leave. The next step was to announce Zhang Yiping's voluntary resignation. The consideration of the higher-ups was nothing more than to minimize the impact. Because Zhang Yiping had only been in office for a short time, if she was found to have a serious problem, it would be a slap in the face to the higher-ups.
As Zheng Zongming announced that Zhang Yiping had asked for a sick leave and that Chen Xing would be presiding over the work of the Municipal Party Committee, there was an uproar. Although no one dared to make a noise, it could be seen from the expressions on the faces of the participants that they were all shocked.
Zheng Zongming made a simple speech, and then it was Chen Xing's turn. It was not until Chen Xing announced the end of the meeting that the participants suddenly came to their senses. When Zheng Zongming, Chen Xing, and other key leaders left, one after another, the voices of discussion suddenly broke out.
Was Zhang Yiping seriously ill? Many people's first reaction was that they didn't believe it. Zhang Yiping, who usually looked lively and vigorous and walked like a tiger, was sick. Then what was healthy? Even if Zhang Yiping had a chronic disease that others didn't know about, it was impossible for it to break out at will, right? Except for a terminal illness, no matter how serious the illness was, as a cadre, no one would be willing to give up the power in their hands easily. Most people would choose to hide their illness from the organization. Who would take the initiative to report it? This would affect one's own future.
Zhang Yiping didn't even attend today's meeting. Instead, it was Zheng Zongming, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, who came to announce this matter. Most people could sense the unusual signal hidden in this.
Comrade Huadong, we should cooperate well in the future and do our work well together. After seeing Zheng Zongming off, Chen Xing smiled and shook hands with Zhu Huadong.
If Mayor Chen needs my cooperation in work, I will do my best. We are all cadres of the Party, and we should fulfill our duties for the Party and the people. Don't you think so, Mayor Chen? Zhu Huadong squinted at Chen Xing. His mind was still immersed in the shocking news just now, and he was not in the mood to argue with Chen Xing.
Well, Comrade Huadong is right. We should fulfill our duties for the Party and the people. Don't say one thing and do another secretly. Chen Xing patted Zhu Huadong's shoulder and said meaningfully.
