It was early spring in the capital, and it was still chilly. The bone-chilling wind blew against one's face, making one feel a bone-chilling coldness. Tiny raindrops floated down from the sky, and the misty weather seemed to be playing a mournful tune for the passing of the deceased. It cast a haze over one's heart, like the gloomy sky.
Today, at 18: 35 pm, one of the leaders of the party and the country, Old Zhang, passed away due to illness at the age of 88. The news shook the entire country.
301 Hospital, the small villa where Old Zhang lived, and the surrounding areas were all under lockdown.
Chairman Le Qiangmin, the leader of the central government, was entrusted by the number one official to rush to the hospital on behalf of the central government.
When Zhang Guohua arrived at the hospital, Old Zhang's body was already covered with a white cloth. Standing in front of Old Zhang's body, Zhang Guohua's tears fell silently. With his back facing everyone, Zhang Guohua's figure was firm, and he did not cry out loud. His father had passed away, and he was the pillar of the Zhang family. Everyone else could show their weak side, but he could not.
Chairman Le Qiangmin let Zhang Guohua stand alone for a while before walking over and patting Zhang Guohua's shoulder lightly. The dead had passed away, and the living had to continue on. Old Zhang's funeral still needed to be settled, and the real test for the Zhang family had just begun.
Comrade Guo Hua, the central government has decided to set up a funeral committee. Le Qiangmin spoke softly to Zhang Guohua, and he was also observing Zhang Guohua.
When Le Qiangmin saw Zhang Guohua quickly calming himself down, and his face was filled with determination, a trace of admiration flashed through his eyes. As the leader of the Zhang family, Le Qiangmin was also saddened to see Old Zhang's passing. However, whether the Zhang family could withstand the test at this time was not only a question for the Zhang family, but also Le Qiangmin. This was a test for the Zhang family, and also a test for the Zhang family. The Zhang family's decline was inevitable, but what should the Zhang family do? At this time, a person like Le Qiangmin, who held an important position at the highest level, had undoubtedly become a key figure. Le Qiangmin's attitude would be crucial, and it was also one of the decisive factors that would determine whether the Zhang faction would fall apart or not.
In fact, before Zhang Guohua was hospitalized, Le Qiangmin had already exchanged opinions with Zhang Guohua on the future development and direction of the Zhang family. They had also reached a consensus. Le Qiangmin was willing to respect Zhang Guohua's opinion, support the development of the Zhang family with Zhang Guohua as the core, and support Zhang Guohua to become the helmsman of the Zhang family. Undoubtedly, Le Qiangmin and Zhang Guohua talked about the long-term development of the Zhang family and the series of arrangements after Zhang Guohua's death. Although it was too early to talk about Zhang Guohua's death, it was necessary to prepare for a rainy day. Zhang Guohua had also been paving the way for Zhang Guohua, the third generation of the Zhang family. Le Qiangmin had been promoted and appreciated by Zhang Guohua in his early years, and he had the intention to repay Zhang Guohua's kindness. After Zhang Guohua passed away, he was willing to do his best to support Zhang Guohua. This was also the reason why Zhang Guohua had discussed the long-term development of the Zhang family with Le Qiangmin before he passed away.
That's right. Le Qiangmin was willing to support Zhang Guohua, but the premise was that Zhang Guohua had to be a capable person. Previously, Zhang Guohua's path had been too smooth. He walked step by step under the arrangement of Old Master Zhang. Although every step was very steady, the main reason was that he had not experienced too many trials. At this time, it was time to see if Zhang Guohua could take up the heavy responsibility. Le Qiangmin saw that Zhang Guohua was able to adjust himself in such a situation, so he had more confidence in Zhang Guohua. Without a strong heart, how could Zhang Guohua carry the banner of the Zhang family? How could he become the core of the Zhang family?
The person who came with Le Qiangmin was the deputy director of the Central Office, Qi Jiansheng. The director of the Central Office, Wang Bingxuan, and Chief No.1 were out for an interview. After knowing that Old Master Zhang had passed away, they had called Qi Jiansheng in time to help with the funeral affairs of Old Master Zhang and brought the instructions of Chief No.1.
The Central Office was going to set up a funeral committee, which was specifically responsible for the funeral affairs of the Central Office, and Chief No.1 would personally be the director of the funeral committee!
When Le Qiangmin personally told him the instructions of Chief No.1, Zhang Guohua nodded silently. This instruction of Chief No.1 was already the greatest affirmation of his father's position in the Party.
At this time, Chen Xing and the others were standing outside the ward. They didn't know what Le Qiangmin and Zhang Guohua were talking about, but they knew it must be related to the funeral affairs of Old Master Zhang. When Old Master Zhang passed away, the obituary would undoubtedly be released in the name of the Central Office. As for how to write the obituary and how to define the historical position of Old Master Zhang, these would probably become the focus of the game. Every time an important leader passed away, the obituary read by the announcer on the news seemed to be almost the same, and ordinary people wouldn't pay attention to the differences. However, they didn't know that the different words used showed the status and weight of the deceased in the Party. Moreover, the obituary that didn't seem long was often decided by the senior leaders after careful consideration.
Le Qiangmin didn't stay for too long. He comforted the Zhang family and left first. As the big boss of the Zhang family, the Central Office asked him to come here as a representative, not only because he was currently the highest-ranking leader in the capital, but also because of his relationship with the Zhang family. At this time, Chief No.1 was also releasing some kind of signal. There were no trivial things in the senior leaders. Every seemingly normal arrangement often contained deep meaning.
Qi Jiansheng, the deputy director of the Central Office, stayed. He would participate in the whole process of the funeral affairs of Old Master Zhang. As for the specific details, he would be discussed with the Zhang family before Director Wang Bingxuan came back. At that time, he would report to Wang Bingxuan. It was Wang Bingxuan's business to report to Chief No.1.
Old Master Zhang passed away so suddenly that no one was prepared for it at all. There was no sign in advance. More than a month ago, he suddenly coughed up blood and was hospitalized. Many people thought that Old Master Zhang would pass away at that time, but it turned out otherwise. In the past month, there was no news that he was in critical condition, which made many people who were secretly dissatisfied with the Zhang family disappointed. They didn't look forward to when Old Master Zhang would pass away. Maybe the more they looked forward to it, the longer Old Master Zhang would live. However, they didn't expect that Old Master Zhang would pass away so suddenly.
Those who were close to the Zhang family naturally had a heavy heart. They also had to deal with the complicated and changeable situation in the future.
Those who didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction toward the Zhang Family in the past were secretly overjoyed at this moment. With Old Master Zhang's departure, it was as if a huge rock that had been pressing down on their hearts had been removed. Many people who opposed the Zhang Family were overjoyed. The game of power was about to be reshuffled!
In the home of a deputy minister of a department in the capital, Chen Tongjin was talking and laughing with an old friend he knew in the past. They were old friends, but in fact, they had known each other for more than a decade. However, they didn't contact each other much after that. Especially after Chen Tongjin retired, he didn't have much contact with some of his old friends in the capital. This time, Chen Tongjin came out of retirement again. It could be said that he was thick-skinned and came to the capital to talk with these old friends he knew in the past. He hoped that he could have some old friendship.
While they were chatting, the deputy minister also received a phone call. After the phone call, the deputy minister was still shocked. After a long time, he murmured, "The capital is going to change!"
"Brother Yuequan, what's the matter?" Chen Tongjin looked at the deputy minister opposite him. The deputy minister's name was Song Yuequan, a deputy minister of the Ministry of Supervision. It could be said that the two of them were fated to know each other. When Chen Tongjin was still the mayor of Nanzhou City, he and Song Yuequan sat next to each other when he entered the Central Party School. Because of this, they became friends. This time, when Chen Tongjin came to the capital, the first thing he did was to visit Song Yuequan.
Old Master Zhang had passed away. Song Yuequan said with a dignified face. He also held an important position in the Ministry and lived in the capital for a long time. Although Song Yuequan didn't dare to say how the death of Old Master Zhang would affect the situation at the top, he also knew that the party congress that would be held in the summer and autumn would be full of more variables. There were only a few months left before the party congress. In these few months, the situation in the capital might be even more turbulent.
Old Master Zhang had passed away? Chen Tongjin listened to Song Yuequan's words, but his face was full of joy. He almost jumped up from the sofa. Good news, this is really good news.
Huh? Song Yuequan looked at Chen Tongjin with a strange expression. As a former deputy minister, Chen Tongjin's performance seemed a bit unreasonable.
Cough, I didn't expect that such a highly respected old leader like Old Master Zhang would still be unable to resist the ruthless years. With his passing, our country has lost an outstanding leader. Sigh. Chen Tongjin saw Song Yuequan's expression and knew that his performance was too frivolous. His face was a bit embarrassed, but he quickly returned to normal and said with a sigh.
Yes, Old Master Zhang's passing is a great loss to our country. Song Yuequan nodded. In fact, he was also a bit absent-minded. He didn't have the mood to examine Chen Tongjin's performance too much. Being in the big whirlpool that was the capital, Song Yuequan was very worried about the changes in the future. He was in this place of trouble, and he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
