On the third car, Yu Heping's secretary and the head of the second secretary department, Ji Gang, got off first. He respectfully greeted Song Chaoyang, then went to open the door and welcomed his boss, Yu Heping.
Yu Heping got off the car and stood still. He smiled and waved at Song Chaoyang like a leader greeting his subordinate. "Good morning, Chaoyang."
Song Chaoyang looked at his smug face and felt even more disgusted. However, he could not show it on his face. He smiled and said, "Good morning to you too, Secretary Yu."
The two leaders greeted each other and walked up the stairs to the building. Their secretaries, Li Rui and Ji Gang, followed behind them.
After greeting Ji Gang, Li Rui looked at him deeply. He thought about how Ji Gang was willing to be Yu Heping's hunting dog and how he had been running around for the old fox these past few days to gather evidence to bring down Sun Yaozu and his son. Even though this was his duty as Yu Heping's secretary, he felt like he was helping a villain do evil. Li Rui secretly sneered in his heart. However, after thinking about it, he felt that Ji Gang might not be able to do what he wanted. Besides, if one did not look out for oneself, the devil would take the hindmost. He had worked so hard to help his boss, Yu Heping, bring down Sun Yaozu. Once Yu Heping took over, he would be able to advance further and be promoted to the first secretary of the city government. With such great benefits in front of him, it was no wonder that he was willing to be Yu Heping's hunting dog. In his heart, he thought, if this kind of thing happened to him, what could he do?
Song Chaoyang and Yu Heping walked into the building and into the elevator together. They walked side by side and behaved very intimately with smiles on their faces. However, the two of them did not interact with each other. In fact, the two of them had only met this morning to say hello and greet each other. In the end, they separated silently and coldly in the elevator.
Not long after going to work, Song Chaoyang received a call from the mayor, Sun Yaozu. After listening to the call, his face was gloomy. He walked to the door, opened it, and called Li Rui in.
"It's similar to what you and I were worried about. Even though there was no earthquake in Qingyang, the weather has changed."
Song Chaoyang tried his best to suppress his emotions. He also tried to make himself sound less nervous, but he still could not say these words lightly. His tone was very heavy.
Li Rui's eyelids twitched. "What's wrong, boss? What happened this time? " Song Chaoyang said in a depressed tone, "The mayor just called me. He said that he has realized the serious mistake he made and is now willing to make up for it. On the one hand, he will ask his son, Sun Kai, to surrender himself. On the other hand, he … he has already submitted a resignation letter to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. He will resign from the mayor and all positions within the party." Li Rui was shocked and exclaimed, "No way!" Song Chaoyang nodded and sighed. "He also apologized to me on the phone. He said that he let me down and brought bad influence to the leadership of Qingyang City. Alas, but what's the use of apologizing now?"
Li Rui thought quickly and said, "Mayor Sun knows that someone is going to take this opportunity to kill his political life, so he took the initiative to resign and didn't give the other party a chance to do anything. It's a smart move, but Mayor Sun should also understand that even if he took the initiative to resign, with the past grudges between him and someone, someone won't let him go easily. Not only does someone want to oust him from the mayor's throne, but he also wants to destroy his reputation, subvert his reputation, and completely blacken his reputation. In that case, why is Mayor Sun so naive to think that he can escape this disaster by resigning? "
Song Chaoyang thought for a moment and said, "Old Sun may have already explained his mistakes in his resignation letter, so he is not afraid that the other party will use those mistakes to attack him."
Li Rui shook his head and said, "I think it's very possible … Mayor Sun has already reached an agreement with Yu and made a deal between them. If that's not the case, why did that person look so complacent and proud when you saw him downstairs, as if he's already on the same level as you? "
Song Chaoyang was shocked and said involuntarily, "A deal? A deal … "
At the same time, in the office of Yu Heping, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Yu Heping was looking at a resignation letter with a smile. This resignation letter did not come from anywhere else. It was a copy of the resignation letter that Mayor Sun Yaozu submitted to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. Sun Yaozu had specially sent someone to deliver it to Yu Heping to show his sincerity in making a deal with him.
After Yu Heping finished reading the resignation letter, the smile on his old face was about to bloom. He called his secretary, Ji Gang, who was outside the room, into the room and said, "Call the executive deputy mayor, Jia Yulong, immediately and ask him when he is free. I want to visit him."
Ji Gang took the order and left. After a while, he came back and reported, "Mayor Jia said that he is free now."
Yu Heping laughed and stood up. "Let's go. Let's go now." He picked up the resignation letter.
Fifteen minutes later, in the office of the Executive Deputy Mayor, Jia Yulong finished reading the resignation letter that Yu Heping brought. After reading it, he was shocked. He looked at Yu Heping hesitantly and asked, "You …"
Yu Heping waved his hand and stopped him from continuing to ask. He asked with a faint smile, "Old Jia, if Sun Yaozu retires and the Provincial Party Committee doesn't plan to appoint a mayor, who do you think will take over the mayor's position?" Jia Yulong frowned and didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Is this really a resignation letter from the mayor? How did you get it? Why didn't I know about this? "Yu Heping smiled and did not answer. He put on a mysterious look. Jia Yulong frowned and looked at him. He asked, "How do you know that the Provincial Party Committee will agree to the mayor's resignation? What if the Provincial Party Committee does not agree? " Yu Heping smiled like a sly old fox. He said leisurely, "Even if the Provincial Party Committee does not agree, Sun Yaozu will resign and leave his post … Answer my question."
Jia Yulong was stunned by Sun Yaozu's resignation. For him, as the Executive Deputy Mayor, Sun Yaozu's resignation not only meant that Sun Yaozu would leave the city government, but it was also closely related to his future as the Executive Deputy Mayor. On the one hand, as the Executive Deputy Mayor, he had a certain probability of taking over the mayor's position. Although the probability was not as high as the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, it was still very high. On the other hand, if he could not take over the mayor's position and the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee took over the mayor's position, he would definitely take over the position of the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He would then become the second-in-command of the Municipal Party Committee and work together with the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Of course, there was also the worst possibility, which was that he would stay where he was and continue to be the Executive Deputy Mayor. He would continue to assist the new mayor, but at that time, he would have to consider whether he could work well with the new mayor.
Jia Yulong suddenly thought of these three possibilities. Moreover, they were already forced to the brink of a big change, so he couldn't help but feel a little thirsty. He hurriedly went back to his desk to get a teacup, but he found that when he held the teacup, his arm was already trembling unnaturally. This was not because he was frightened, but because he was excited.
Yu Heping saw that he didn't answer, so he didn't force him for the time being. He just looked at him calmly with an arrogant expression on his face.
Jia Yulong drank half a cup of tea and barely managed to calm down. He returned to the guest sofa and sat down. He looked at Yu Heping and said, "Old Yu, we are old partners. Tell me, how did you get this resignation letter? Also, why did the mayor resign for no reason? "
Yu Heping said indifferently, "I didn't come here to talk about this. Answer my question just now. Who do you think can take over Sun Yaozu's position? "
Jia Yulong swallowed his saliva with difficulty and smiled bitterly. He quickly restrained his smile and said, "This question, you want me ….. How do you want me to answer? This should be decided by the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department and the Provincial Party Committee's Standing Committee. I ….. I don't have the final say. "
Yu Heping smiled coldly and said, "Of course you don't have the final say, but I want to hear your opinion. Let me give you an example. In two days, when the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department sends someone to inspect the cadres, they come to talk to you and ask you to recommend a candidate for the mayor. Who would you recommend? "
Jia Yulong smiled bitterly and lowered his head. He picked up the teacup and was about to drink more tea.
Yu Heping asked, "You won't recommend yourself, right?" Jia Yulong jumped in fright and almost threw the teacup in his hand. He quickly smiled and said, "Old Yu, you ….. Don't joke around. I'm not that thick-skinned to ….. recommend myself. I know that my ability and qualifications are still lacking. My moral upbringing is also lacking ….." Yu Heping interrupted and said, "Speaking of moral upbringing, last time when Chen Xinying ran to the Municipal Party Committee and caused a ruckus, what you did was indeed wrong. Your moral upbringing is lacking." Jia Yulong was stunned and looked at him with disbelief and anger. Yu Heping laughed twice and said, "According to the usual practice, after the mayor is promoted, resigned, or retired due to illness, the Municipal Party Committee's Deputy Secretary will take over the mayor's position. I won't be modest, but I think I have the ability and skills to be a good mayor. So when the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department comes to inspect the candidates for the mayor, I hope you can recommend me. "
