Chapter 40: Indecision
Fu Lei smiled and asked Zhou Youliang: "Old Zhou, let me take the liberty of asking: Do you know the special relationship between Lu Tao and Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee?"
Zhou Youliang had already guessed the real reason why Fu Lei and Xie Benzhu were drinking tea with Lu Tao, so he nodded unabashedly and said, "I know." Minister Fu, we are old friends, and there are some things that can be exchanged openly and honestly. Frankly speaking, I now really want to use Xiao Lu's relationship to try to get on the line with Secretary Zhou, and ask Secretary Zhou to support me to take over the post of director of the county public security bureau. I'm sure you can guess that. β
Fu Lei nodded very understandingly, pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Lao Zhou, you have already looked for me several times for the matter of promotion, and I am ashamed that I can't provide you with any help." I went to Comrade Li Xuzhong twice and asked him to recommend you to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to take over his post, but every time he called me, he neither refused nor agreed, and I guess he refused in his heart -- I am right!"
Zhou Youliang said with a sad face: "Yes, Li Xuzhong has a very good relationship with Ouyang Qi, and now he is bent on recommending Ouyang Qi, so he naturally wants to exclude me." β
"Yes, Li Xuzhong is indeed wholeheartedly helping Ouyang Qi to take the throne now. In addition, I have to remind you: Ouyang Qi has a very good relationship with Liu Hong, Li Weijun and others, and under Liu Hong's strong recommendation, Secretary Luo also intends to recommend Ouyang Qi to take over the position of director of the county public security bureau. You should be very clear that although the post of director of the county public security bureau is recommended by the municipal public security bureau and studied and decided by the standing committee of the municipal party committee, the opinions of the current leaders of the county party committee and the county bureau are also very important, and if the county party committee insists on recommending Ouyang Qi, the municipal public security bureau may also compromise.
"From this point of view, it is very difficult for you to defeat Ouyang Qi in the competition now, at least in the county party committee and the county security bureau, you have already lost. Your only hope now is to win the support of the principal leaders of the municipal party committee. But I heard that Ouyang Qi has now climbed to Mayor Li, in this case, you only have one way to Huashan, that is, to win the support of Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee. As long as Secretary Zhou supports you, neither Mayor Li nor Secretary Luo can stop your promotion. And the only way for you to take over as Secretary Zhou now is Lu Tao, right?"
Zhou Youliang nodded again and again and said, "Minister Fu, your eyes are like torches, and these words have come to my heart." As you said, my only hope now is on Lu Tao, as long as he is willing to take me to see Secretary Zhou, there is still room for redemption in this matter, otherwise I will definitely lose. β
Fu Lei smiled and said: "Let me tell you the truth: Lu Tao now hates Liu Hong and Li Weijun to the core, and these two people are also the people who block your promotion path, and they can be said to be your common enemies." Therefore, I suggest that you immediately arrange for the police to go to O'Neill to arrest the gambling, and it is best to arrest Li Weijun and detain him for a few days, so that Lu Tao's wish will be fulfilled, and you will also have a bad breath by the way, right?"
Seeing that Zhou Youliang was still a little hesitant, Fu Lei continued: "Old Zhou, I know that you are worried that you will offend Secretary Luo and Li Xuzhong by doing this, but think about it the other way: even if you don't go to O'Neill to catch gambling, the two of them will definitely not support your promotion to director of the bureau, right? And if you arrest Li Weijun, Lu Tao will definitely be very happy, maybe he will be grateful to you in his heart, and he will do his best with his family when he matches you, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless to you, why don't you do it?"
Zhou Youliang was already a little moved by what he said, but when he thought that he would offend Secretary Luo Qiulin and Li Xuzhong 100% by doing this, he still couldn't make up his final decision, and said to Fu Lei: "Minister Fu, this matter is too complicated, you let me think about it." β
Fu Lei knew that he was usually a little indecisive, and it would definitely be difficult to make a choice when encountering such a major event that might determine his lifelong future and fate, so he looked at him with sympathetic eyes, and after thinking about it himself, he suddenly asked: "Old Zhou, do you have very close and trustworthy subordinates?" If you really dare not take this risk, in fact, you can secretly tell one of your subordinates to lead a team to O'Neill to gamble, and the effect is the same. β
Zhou Youliang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Minister Fu, I do have a few more trustworthy subordinates, such as Wang Biao, the captain of the public security brigade, Zhou Zhi, the deputy director of the Chengguan Police Station, etc., but they also know the relationship between Liu Hong and Secretary Luo and Li Xuzhong, and they will also consider their own future, and they will definitely not dare to be this 'rising bird', unless I personally lead the team to catch gambling, or there is another person with a higher level than them to lead the team to take responsibility for them, they dare to dispatchββ"
Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered a person, slapped his thigh and said, "Minister Fu, I have a way!"
Fu Lei hurriedly asked: "What way?"
"He Ying, the deputy political commissar of our bureau, do you know him?"
"Yes, but I haven't dealt with her much. She seems to have served as a deputy captain in the public security brigade, and later transferred to the Chengguan police station as a deputy director, and was only promoted to deputy political commissar last year.
"That's right. He Ying is the daughter of my cousin, and I know her well. In addition to her cool personality and hard work, she also has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, she is jealous and hateful. Two years ago, when she was the director of the Chengguan Police Station, she hated the serious problem of pornography, gambling and drugs in the O'Neill Hotel, and proposed to the then director of the Chengguan Police Station and me several times to take a sweep of the O'Neill Hotel, and took the initiative to ask Ying to say that she would lead the team to carry out the sweep, and all the responsibility would be borne by her. But, because I knew O'Neill's water was deep and didn't want her to fall into it, I stopped herβ"
Fu Lei immediately understood his intentions, and hurriedly said: "This is a good way, since she has always wanted to eradicate the pornography, gambling and drug problems in the O'Neill Hotel, you can join forces with her, and you will mobilize the police force of the police station or the public security brigade, and she is responsible for leading the team." In this way, you are in a favorable position to advance and retreat: first, Secretary Luo and Li Xuzhong can't blame you, and second, if they want to retaliate against He Ying, you can also come forward to protect her, so it is safer. β
Zhou Youliang nodded and said, "He Ying also has a favorable factor, she has a very good relationship with Lu Tao. In case Secretary Luo and Li Xuzhong want to retaliate against He Ying, Lu Tao can go directly to Secretary Zhou, and Secretary Zhou will definitely come forward to protect He Ying, so that nothing goes wrong!"
