Chapter 61: The Trumpet

In the car to the City Blue Sea and Blue Sky Hotel, Wang Bo's face was grim, "I just received a call, Uncle Zhang's side may not be able to withstand it, that is, it has been a matter of the past few days." ”

Lin Guozhou smoked a cigarette, his brows furrowed, he temporarily relieved himself of his position, and sat in the co-pilot seat, at this moment he looked like Wang Bo's staff, "Zhang Zhimao's side, when did it happen?" He had no feelings for Uncle Zhang, who was respectful of Wang Bo's tone, and there was nothing wrong with calling him by his name.

However, this Zhang Zhimao, but the Wang faction is an important composition and figure in the entire Xichuan Province, the deputy provincial boss and senior official, the overall planning of the power resources of the Wang family in this region, and the grasp of half of the Wang family in Xichuan, in the last collision, Wang Bo is like a small ball that was bounced off the billiard court, if Zhang Zhimao falls, the Wang family faction is in the province, but there are countless small balls falling apart.

"It happened a week ago, I just received a call today, and I can know that someone above really wants to move us" Wang Bo's smile was a little bitter, once the most important nail placed in Xichuan by the Wang family was removed, they were extremely stormy. "This pattern has become more and more incomprehensible to me"

"What's going on?"

"Uncle Zhang's corruption and bribery have key surname evidence, which is said to have constituted a chain of evidence, and the old lady above was really angry and let go, which means that the Wang family is not allowed to interfere in the Xichuan incident. Wang Bo's face that has always looked like an intellectual, his cheeks bulged, showing that he gritted his teeth very hard, "It is Liu Cheng, the political and legal committee who supervises the project." ”

Lin Guozhou frowned, "This Liu Cheng is planning to put your royal family to death, first of all, I don't worry about putting you in this Xia Hai, and I want someone to curb you, Jin Donghai is also his person, you can finally suppress it, which shows that he is still very jealous of you being able to stand up again on behalf of the royal family!"

"If Uncle Zhang is still in the province and can fight with them, I can stand up" Wang Bo sighed, "But even Uncle Zhang has an accident this time, and if the old lady doesn't interfere, I'm afraid she will also abandon her son." It's not like you don't know that in our family, the old lady has never reported anything to me that Xichuan's abandoned son is the one who disappointed the old man."

"Your old lady has never intervened in your political affairs, I'm afraid that even if you were able to transfer to Xichuan Province at the beginning, she also thought that it was your daughter-in-law's credit, why don't these opinions be the same as mine. Speaking of these things within the family, Lin Guozhou's expression also gloomy, he and Wang Bo were typical gentlemen when they were children, they were not sensible at that time, these gentlemen were seen by adults, and naturally identified the surname of neglect, and later wanted to work hard, but had a mediocre career, and sometimes often made mistakes, no matter what, they could not become the backbone of the faction in the big family, but there was a faint danger of being excluded from the edge of the faction.

has a close blood relationship, but the status stands at the edge of the family, and sometimes it is even inferior to outsiders, this feeling is really poignant.

"Wang Bo, you and I are both iron buddies who grew up in a kindergarten, you tell me, have you been involved in this matter?" Lin Guozhou thought for a while and asked seriously.

Wang Bo smiled bitterly, "Can't you trust me? I know what I can and can't touch." But what kind of person is he, Liu Cheng? Once he starts, when I was taken care of by Uncle Zhang in the province, did I get involved, and what difference does it make? Even if I suppress it together, I can uproot the roots of the Wang family in Xichuan."

Lin Guozhou also nodded, finished smoking a cigarette, and recontinued it before he said slowly, "Zhang Zhimao has an accident, and no one on the Lin family's side has told me who is currently here, you can know, I'm afraid our Lin family is not ready to interfere, and we are not capable of interfering, but if I have the strength to do my part, I will also help you." ”

Wang Bo pinched his shoulder, "Back then, your old man, my family was too old, not to mention the scenery, it was our father's lineage, everyone knew the energy of the union of the Wang and Lin families, but now, it's not that we don't adapt, it's that the times are changing too fast, no matter how prominent the Wang Lin family is, there will eventually be a time when they will be broken up by the waves, and we are no longer young."

When Su Can came to the blue sea and blue sky, it was the eldest lady of the Lin family who was waiting outside the door.

Lin Luoran's father arrived in Xiahai, the Wang family set up a dinner, and it was a relatively relaxed environment, Wang Weiwei and Lin Luoran were all taken by Wang Bo, they had fewer friends in school, so they invited Su Can, of course Su Can was not easy to refuse, so he went to the hotel on time.

Lin Luoran was wearing a small single coat, a shirt inside, and a pair of straight-leg pants underneath, although it was a banquet environment, she was dressed very casually and informally, seeing Su Can from afar, Lin Luoran's voice shouted high, "Hey, I've been in it for almost five minutes, why did you arrive!"

It surprised the waiter who was in charge of picking up and parking outside the hotel, this girl looked quite ladylike and elegant on the outside, who knew that the height of the tone of her voice was rare.

It was because of Lin Luoran's casual appearance and shouting that Su Can's mood was not so nervous.

There was Mayor Hong Xiaotian and Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Wang Jinrong at the dinner, and he brought his nephew Wang Haoran this time, but obviously Wang Haoran couldn't fit into Wang Weiwei's circle, and Wang Weiwei didn't have a good impression of him.

There is also the head of several deputy mayors of one of their factions, all of whom toasted to Father Lin, Father Lin only drank three cups, and after three cups, he replaced the wine with tea, in Xiahai City, where wine culture is prevalent, these heads did not say much, after all, Father Lin's image and temperament, as well as identity, whether to drink or not, how to drink, are all up to him.

It is not possible to make a few cadres who came to accompany the wine to drink, nor can they not drink, but they can't let go of their arms to toast each other, but they feel more tired than usual.

"Before the end of the 19th century, only great powers could send ambassadors to each other, reflecting the unequal status of large and small countries. Nowadays, the exchanges between most countries are to send ambassadors to each other, and only a few countries will send envoys to each other, so my minister, almost all of them are about to become a false title, and now they are only occasionally traveling abroad, running around in some small countries, and helping to sort out information in the embassy, as a member of the ambassador's subordinates, and communicating with the higher departments, it is not as mysterious as you think. Listening to everyone's praise of his country's minister, Lin Guozhou smiled.

"That's different, we are living in peace in the country, and you, Minister Lin, have only just returned from the war-torn Yugoslavia, and you are a diplomat who has been tempered by the war and was born in the war, but we are not comparable to you. An official who is good at sycophants laughed.

"Governing the country is a heavy task, and it is not much easier than us. Lin Guozhou shook his head, and said in response to the occasion, this banquet, he agreed to participate, and he was also giving Wang Bo a strong momentum, Wang Bo wants to be in charge of the party, and he has no background and background, why should he take the Standing Committee in a short period of time, win over his mind, and suppress Jin Donghai of the hostile faction?

Wang Bo's roots are in the capital, which is the most powerful means to win people's hearts.

But now because of Liu Cheng's actions in the province, people are panicking, whether Wang Bo will be implicated, this is uncertain, and it is inevitable that because of this incident, the high-level cadres of Xiahai City will reconsider the camp.

At this time, he revealed a deep-rooted signal from Wang Bo, which was beneficial and harmless.

Su Can's heart moved, he had already realized that Lin Luoran was not so simple, several times he went to the family area of the municipal party committee, he could see Lin Luoran holding an English novel reading, and some of her books in the living room were also about international tourism, which is not difficult to explain why Su Can always felt that Lin Luoran would give people a feeling of being far away and looking into the distance, just because of Lin's father's work, maybe she also inherited a bit of international vision and thoughts.

And Father Lin is a diplomatic minister, does it mean that he can reveal something and let him know, so as to avoid future tragedies.

However, Su Can still held back, not to mention whether Father Lin would believe what he said, and he didn't have any way or means to tell Father Lin about it personally.

The atmosphere in the banquet was warm, and it was not as tense as before, Su Can felt that Father Lin's eyes seemed to be looking at his side, and the feeling of being looked at was not so good, Su Can also turned his head, Lin Guozhou looked at him, showing a smile, giving people a very warm feeling, worthy of engaging in diplomacy.

Hong Xiaotian got up and went to the toilet, and when he came back, he met an acquaintance in the corridor, and while he was talking, he separated at the entrance of the building, and the other party went up, Hong Xiaotian came over, got closer, and said in Wang Bo's ear, "Secretary Liu Cheng Liu has arrived in Xiahai, and Jin Donghai is also on it, blame me for not arranging it today, you see"

Liu Cheng!?

When they heard this name, the faces of several people on the table changed, Liu Cheng, deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, was not small in the province, and this character was also well-known in Xia Hai. He is a figure who went out of Xiahai City, and he has risen all the way to the throne of the deputy secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee. Life is somewhat legendary, and those who know him know that he has always been "very impulsive" in his speech, but he does have a bit of officialdom skills and skills.

In recent years, many of those who have been his opponents have fallen, and his "undefeated King Kong" is very loud.

Wang Bozai is the opponent of him, and Jin Donghai is also his person, and the high-ranking officials who were present also know this.

Being able to sit with Wang Bo like this, naturally he is not interested in that faction, but when he suddenly heard this name, some people's hearts still jumped.

Lin Guozhou glanced at Wang Bo quietly, and Wang Bo smiled, "Is it Secretary Liu, hehe, if you meet in a meeting, you still have to have a drink." ”

At this time, people came down from the upstairs compartment one after another, and some of them were officials from Xia Hai City, but as soon as they swept them, they rushed downstairs as if they didn't see anything. At the dinner where Wang Bo and the first and second leaders of Hongxiaotian City were sitting, these officials were afraid to avoid it, and they could know what level of prestige this Liu Cheng had reached.

He went out from Xia Hai, and he also has roots here, and now in the province, he has a lot of control over Xia Hai's side, and he is full of energy.

Some of the officials at the table snorted coldly.

A louder sound came from the upper floor, and Su Can couldn't help but raise his head.

A crowd of more than a dozen people, stepping down from above, led by a person wearing an ordinary sweatshirt, in his fifties, not tall or short, slightly fat, but a pair of eyes are extremely incongruous and narrow, his eyes are blazing, and he deliberately paces slowly, like a thousand-year-old turtle, and a dozen people around him are surrounded by stars and moons, and those smiles are a little unnatural, but when his narrow eyes pass by, he must smile.

Everyone at the table paid attention to this somewhat gloomy man, only Su Can noticed that when Wang Bo saw the man, although there was no obvious change in expression on his face, the cup in his hand was inexplicably shaking.

The other party's slow and logical gaze finally moved to the table on their floor, and then came towards this side, and the "big army" behind him also moved.

"Secretary-General Wang should be Secretary Wang now. Liu Cheng walked up to Wang Bo, ignored the people at this table, only looked at the food at this table, and smiled, "Braised crabs, wild mushrooms, everyone eats them well." ”

Mayor Hong Xiaotian hurriedly said, "Today is Secretary Wang's friend, Minister Lin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is here, Secretary Wang specially set up a banquet to invite us idlers, but I didn't know that Secretary Liu was also here." ”

Wang Bo glanced at Hong Xiaotian approvingly, and made it clear in one sentence that today's meal was a personal banquet for him, and it had nothing to do with official business, but this Liu Cheng, eating and drinking, had to take the preemptive strike, and he was a little arrogant, "Secretary Liu, when you were busy with work in the province before, it was difficult to see, it is better to meet by chance, let's have a drink today?"

"Okay, okay, just have a drink. Liu Cheng glanced at Lin Guozhou, who had not stood up from beginning to end and had been smiling in his seat, took the wine handed by Hong Xiaotian, drank it all in one gulp, and put it on the table between them, "Maybe this is also the last cup we will drink." ”

Dropping this sentence that stunned the audience, Liu Cheng turned around and left without looking back, and did not even give a face to the city leaders present.

There was some silence in the audience, and now even the children of some high-ranking officials could see the solemnity of the atmosphere.

There was a surname who snorted bluntly at this moment, "Stinky fart!"

However, most of the high-ranking officials present looked at Wang Bo, who was a little stunned, and thought in a complicated mood, Zhang Zhimao had economic problems in the province, and it is said that Wang Bo was involved, Liu Chengzheng had made a lot of efforts in this regard, and the task force was also ready to move, it seems that this Liu Cheng is really planning to move Secretary Wang.

Did the glass of wine just now blow the horn? It seems that this Xia Hai is calm to the end, and it is about to shake violently.

The atmosphere of the scene was very dull, but no one in the preoccupied people noticed that Su Can, whose eyes were burning on the side, flashed with some kind of excitement in his eyes.

At this moment, it was as if he had discovered some kind of treasure trove

It's not terrible to have a calculating mind, Su Can has always looked at people coldly, watched the situation from the sidelines, and made an analysis as a person who would be subconsciously ignored now, but there seemed to be times when he missed calculations.

From just now, it was not only Lin Guozhou who would pay attention to him, Lin Luoran saw at a glance the excitement of Su Can's inexplicable licking of his lips when Liu Cheng, secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, appeared.

This gaze and expression is like seeing prey.

Lin Luoran looked at Su Can's lips a little stunned, and remembered the beautiful scene in the study, his face flushed, and he ignored Su Can's strange expression at this moment when he always faced everything calmly.
