Yu Heping saw that Zhao Xiaotao gave him face and gave him a chance. This mission could be considered to have been completed successfully. He was very satisfied. He stood up and handed his hand to Zhao Xiaotao. "Chaoyang, thank you very much. If Zhao Xiaotao doesn't do anything when we go back, I will dismiss him without you saying anything."
Song Chaoyang walked the two of them to the door. Of course, he was mainly sending Yu Heping off.
Yu Heping walked two steps out of the door and suddenly thought of something. He turned back and said, "Oh right, Zhaoyang, you'd better talk to Minister Zijuan and ask the publicity system to pay attention to the public opinion in the city. Don't let anyone use this to spread malicious rumors and slander the government. It won't be good if this spreads to the province."
Song Chaoyang said, "Okay, I'll talk to Minister Zheng later."
After the two of them left, Song Chaoyang went back into the house and said to Li Rui, "If it wasn't for Yu Heping, I would have fired him. He even dared to lie to me, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. How dare he! I haven't dealt with the cadres for a while, so people think I'm easy to talk to? "
Li Rui comforted him and told him not to be angry. Finally, he asked, "I'll call Minister Zheng and tell her about this. She'll pay attention to the public opinion. You don't have to talk to her personally. "
Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "Okay, go call her. The incident in Dongshui Village wasn't too serious, but the sudden death of an old village chief is a big risk. The central government and the province have repeatedly ordered us to maintain harmony and stability and ensure that there won't be any chaos in the local areas. Well, there's going to be a big mess in Qingyang City. If the provincial leaders hear about it, I won't be able to get away with it. "
Li Rui immediately went out to call Zheng Zijuan. After the call went through, he explained the situation clearly in a few words. Zheng Zijuan said that he would immediately follow up on this matter and promised not to let this matter spread to Qingyang City.
When he returned to the inner room to report, Song Chaoyang nodded slightly to show that he understood and praised him, "Xiao Rui, too many things happened today and I didn't have time to praise you. You mediated the conflict between the police and civilians in Dongshui Village this morning and prevented the conflict from escalating and causing more terrible consequences. You did a good job, very good. You showed that you have a strong view of the overall situation and a strong sense of responsibility. Actually, it's fine if you don't care about that matter. You can just walk away. But you can consider the big picture and consider the City and me. You acted in time and resolved the conflict. That's very impressive. Without you, I don't know what Dongshui Village would be like. "
Li Rui was praised by him, but he didn't feel happy at all. He said modestly, "That's what I should do. Otherwise, why would you send me to investigate this matter? What I want to see the most now is that the environmental pollution in Dongshui Village is fully controlled and the old village chief, Liu Erkui, who unfortunately died tragically, can be cleared of injustice. He didn't steal the gun at all. He was deliberately shot to death by the deputy director surnamed Shi. I don't know if he wanted to kill people to show his authority and warn the villagers not to mess around anymore, or if he took bribes from the Taifu Chemical Factory. Anyway, he did it on purpose. He must get the punishment he deserves. Otherwise, the old village chief can't rest in peace. "
Song Chaoyang asked, "Is there any evidence?"
Li Rui sighed and said, "There are witnesses, but it's very likely that they have been sealed by the Northern District Public Security Bureau. I'm afraid that no one dares to stand up and testify for Liu Erkui."
Song Chaoyang thought for a while and said, "I'll talk to Director Zhou of the Municipal Public Security Bureau about this matter later and see what he thinks. You also know that this matter concerns the reputation of our Qingyang City's public security system and all public security officers. It's important to clear Liu Erkui's name, but it's more important not to infringe on the interests of more people and higher-ups. After all, Liu Erkui is too insignificant compared to the huge public security system of the whole city. You have to be mentally prepared. Maybe in the end, Liu Erkui can only be wronged. Alas, in the end, this is also the sorrow of a small person. If he were replaced by a powerful person, the deputy director involved in the case might be convicted of intentional homicide. "
Li Rui knew that he was telling the truth. For this kind of matter, he and others could only do their part based on their conscience, but they couldn't interfere with the outcome. This was not only the sorrow of a small person like Liu Erkui, but also the sorrow of society. He also thought that with his boss's dignity as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, it was actually difficult for him to uphold justice for a small person like Liu Erkui. It was really too sad. Was he going to become a weak leader like Liu Erkui, who succumbed to society and reality in the end? Thinking of this, his chest was full of resentment and grievance. He just wanted to find a secluded corner and shout a few times. He also wanted to find an opponent to fight fiercely. In short, he wanted to vent his feelings to his heart's content.
In the evening, Li Rui got off work very early. He took the opportunity to take Song Chaoyang to see the house that he rented for him. Zhang Hui had rented the house a long time ago. A few days ago, she gave the house key, the rental receipt, and the contract to Li Rui. She paid the rent first, and Li Rui was going through the reimbursement process for her.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he was very busy these days and couldn't find the time, Li Rui would have taken Song Chaoyang to see the house long ago. However, it wasn't too late to go there today. After all, Song Chaoyang wasn't in a hurry to live in the house.
The house was in the south of Gao Kai District. It wasn't very close to the Municipal Party Committee, but it wasn't very far either. Li Rui found a car from the secretary's office. He pulled Song Chaoyang and the master and servant very quietly rushed over.
When they arrived at the neighborhood where the house was located, Song Chaoyang was very satisfied. The neighborhood was very remote. It looked like it had just been developed not long ago. The various civil and commercial facilities around the neighborhood had not been built yet. There were also very few residents. There weren't many pedestrians on the main roads in the neighborhood, and there weren't many cars parked by the roadside. This kind of neighborhood had privacy and ensured that one's privacy was well protected. For Song Chaoyang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, it was very friendly. He only had to wear sunglasses and he could freely enter and leave the neighborhood without worrying about being recognized. There weren't many people in the neighborhood, so who would recognize him?
After entering the house, Song Chaoyang was even more satisfied. The house was well-decorated. The furniture and appliances were all complete. The bedding was also very reliable. More importantly, everything in the house was brand new and had never been used before. It was just like a new house.
Li Rui introduced, "The owner of this house bought it as an investment. He didn't see the price of the house rising in the short term, so he simply renovated it and rented it out to earn some living money. Therefore, no one has lived in the house before. Everything is brand new. Of course, the asking price is a little high. Fortunately, it's not too high, so I rented it. Boss, are you satisfied? "
Song Chaoyang nodded and smiled, "Yes, very satisfied. It's okay if the rent is a little expensive. I'll just deduct it from my office expenditure budget. "After saying that, he walked around the house.
For a leader like him, there was a certain amount of office expenditure budget every year. It was used for official cars, receptions, business trips, meetings, office work, and so on. There was even an activity budget that he could freely spend. These budgets added up, depending on the city and the leader involved, could range from hundreds of thousands to millions. There was no problem for him to take out twenty to thirty thousand yuan to rent a house.
The layout of the house was very good. Although there were only two rooms and two living rooms, there were two large balconies facing the sun. On the balcony in the living room, there was an antique tea table and rocking chair. It must be very comfortable to lie on the rocking chair and enjoy the afternoon sun. Through the balcony, one could also see the garden and rockery in the community. It could be said that the scenery here was unique.
After walking around the house a few times, Song Chaoyang was very happy. His bad mood because of the series of events in Dongshui Village during the day had been completely swept away. He said with a smile, "This house is not bad. It's quiet and elegant. I think I can come here regularly to stay for a while in the future."
Li Rui knew that he was just casually saying that and did not really want to live here. If he really lived here, it would be very inconvenient for him to eat, do laundry, and go to the Municipal Party Committee. It would not be like living in the Qingyang Hotel. It would only take a minute to get to the Municipal Party Committee by car. If he did not want to take the car, it would only take four to five minutes to get there. He smiled and did not say anything. He handed the key and the access card to the unit to him.
After leaving the community, Li Rui drove Song Chaoyang back to the Qingyang Hotel. On the way, he asked him what he wanted to eat for dinner. Song Chaoyang hesitated for a moment and said that he would eat at the hotel. He also told him not to worry about his dinner and to go home directly after he delivered it.
After returning to the Qingyang Hotel, the master and servant said goodbye in the car. Li Rui did not go home immediately. Instead, he drove back to the Municipal Party Committee and returned the car. Then, he strolled in the direction of his home. He did not take a taxi for the time being. He walked first because he was in a bad mood. As he walked, the image of Liu Erkui's indignant face appeared in his mind. Liu Erkui's curses and sighs echoed in his ears. But soon, everything came down to the sound of a gunshot. The image in his mind was fixed on Liu Erkui's face.
"F * ck …"
He cursed fiercely. His heart was bitter and his eyes were a little moist. He could not help but bite his lower lip. He began to regret saving Director Shi during the day. So what if he was beaten to death by the villagers of Dongshui Village? Wasn't it a good opportunity to avenge Liu Erkui? Damn it, why did he always do such stupid things?
In the next short period of time, he turned down the invitation of his godbrother, Li Ming, to a party and his sister, Li Jing, to celebrate the success of the cultural exhibition. Like a defeated fighter, he walked home with difficulty. His heart was overflowing with deep sorrow and surging regret.
