At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Changfeng returned to Pibei City, and after sending Jiang Wenjing to the Bibei City Hotel, Zhao Changfeng asked Lao Xing to drive the car to the compound of the Municipal Party Committee. Zhao Changfeng had already contacted Liu Guanghui and knew that Vice Governor Wu Weiping would lead the provincial political axe investigation team to leave Tianyang and go to Pibei City at about four o'clock in the afternoon. If Zhao Changfeng stays in Zhongzhou City, this set of rules can be dispensed with, but since he is back, of course, he must follow the five major teams to meet Governor Wu.

The compound of the municipal party committee was already full of cars, the driver Lao Xing found a good parking space and stopped, Zhao Changfeng stepped out of the car, and found that in addition to Cai Guohong, secretary of the municipal party committee, the other five team members had already arrived, and they were all standing in the courtyard chatting. In the eyes of outsiders, this is just a group of leading cadres gathered in a bunch of small talk, but in the eyes of insiders, the division of forces can be seen at a glance.

For example, Lin Tongzhao, director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, Chai Gangchuan, director of the Public Security Bureau, and Ren Wensheng, director of the Propaganda Department, got together, and around them, they were surrounded by Vice Mayor He Quansheng and Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Tang Tianming; Fu Gangting, deputy secretary of the party and the masses, Bao Tailong, deputy secretary in charge of agriculture, Lu Dawei, director of the organization department, and others gathered together; And Liu Guanghui is no longer alone, Bai Guoqing, secretary of urban construction, and Qin Xiaoming, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, are standing next to him, as well as two deputy mayors with political axes. This makes Zhao Changfeng a little funny, it seems that it is not easy to be a wall grass, which requires a keen sense of politician's smell; Tian Xiaoshan, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and Zhang Yi, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, were also surrounded by some people. These all represent their respective cliques of power.

What surprised Zhao Changfeng the most was that Qian Zhaojun, deputy secretary in charge of politics and law, was not with Lin Tongzhao, Chai Gangchuan and others, but with Hao Daming, minister of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces, and Zhang Zhilin, deputy mayor without party affiliation. What does this mean? Does it mean that Qian Zhaojun is going to break with Cai Guohong publicly? Zhao Changfeng felt that this was an opportunity, especially since Cai Guohong was the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and his secretary in charge was Qian Zhaojun, but now he was mixed with Lin Tongzhao and others, didn't he obviously not take Qian Zhaojun in his eyes?

Zhao Changfeng walked quickly to Liu Guanghui's side and said with a smile: "Mayor, I'm back." ”

When Liu Guanghui saw Zhao Changfeng, a smile appeared in his mouth, and he said, "Changfeng, why are you in such a hurry to come back?" Got too much to do? ”

Zhao Changfeng said with a smile: "Mayor, it's all done!" ”

Liu Guanghui held Zhao Changfeng's hand and looked at each other with a smile, and said, "Hard work!" ”

At this time, I heard a cough, turned my head to look, and saw Cai Guohong slowly walking out of the municipal party committee office building, although Cai Guohong looked red, but Zhao Changfeng keenly noticed that a few gray hairs appeared on Cai Guohong's sideburns. It seems that Cai Guohong's involvement in this matter is not ordinarily deep, otherwise Cai Guohong is not yet forty years old, how can he have gray hair?

In the past, Cai Guohong's appearance, as long as he coughed lightly, everyone would surround him like the stars holding the moon, but today, Cai Guohong coughed twice, only Lin Tongzhao, director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, Chai Gangchuan, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, and Ren Wensheng, director of the Propaganda Department, greeted them, and the others chatted about each other, not noticing or paying no attention to the appearance of Cai Guohong, secretary of the municipal party committee. Liu Guanghui was even more full of spring breeze, talking and laughing with the people around him, as if he was already the number one in Bibei City.

Cai Guohong smiled coldly and said in his heart, do you really think I'm going to fall? We'll see.

Lin Tongzhao sent Cai Guohong to the car, Chai Gangchuan also followed, and when Cai Guohong sat in the car, Chai Gangchuan finally couldn't help but ask: "Secretary, no problem, right?" ”

Lin Tongzhao also looked at Cai Guohong expectantly on the side.

Cai Guohong glanced at Chai Gangchuan coldly and said, "With me here, what will be the problem?" ”

Chai Gangchuan and Lin Tongzhao suddenly rose up with joy.

Cai Guohong's car started and left the municipal party committee compound first, and the cars behind rushed out in turn according to the ranking order of officials. Chai Gangchuan was originally a little uneasy, but after listening to Cai Guohong's words, he felt confident in his heart, and he personally sat in the police car that opened the road, and in the sound of the whistling siren, he commanded the vehicles on the road to flash to the side.

The convoy drove until it stopped at the city boundary leading to Tianyang City, and at the junction of Pibei City and Tianyang City stood a huge archway, crossing the road, which read: "Welcome to the people of Pibei City!" ”

The convoy stopped on the side of the road and waited for the arrival of the provincial political axe investigation team led by Wu Weiping. After waiting for more than 40 minutes, they suddenly heard the sound of sirens in the distance, and the group stretched their necks to look ahead, only to see the police lights flashing in front of them, and a magnificent convoy of motorcades speeding forward.

The convoy stopped in front of the archway where the two cities met, and Wu Weiping, dressed in a navy blue suit and shiny Italian old man's scalp shoes, stepped out of the car. A square-faced fat man got out of the car behind with a smile, came over and held Wu Weiping's hand tightly, it was Zhang Peilun, the mayor of Tianyang City, according to the rules, the mayor wanted to send Governor Wu Weiping to the border.

Cai Guohong tidied up his light gray jacket here, with a respectful smile on his face, and subconsciously walked forward, Liu Guanghui and the others followed with small steps.

Cai Guohong first whispered hello to Zhang Peilun, and then stretched out his hands and said to Wu Weiping: "Governor Wu, welcome to Pibei City to guide the work. ”

Zhang Peilun introduced on the side: "Governor Wu, this is Cai Guohong, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Beibei City. ”

Wu Wei flattened his face, raised his hand and slid away with Cai Guohong's hands, and said, "Secretary Guohong is good." ”

Liu Guanghui smiled and shook hands with him: "Governor Wu, welcome!" Zhang Peilun made an introduction on the side.

Wu Weiping stretched out his hand and shook Liu Guanghui, and said with a smile: "Comrade Guanghui has worked in the province for four years, right?" What a rarity! ”

Liu Guanghui's smile suddenly brightened, and he said: "I was not able to see Governor Wu at that time, but today I have the opportunity to make up for my regrets and hear Governor Wu's teachings with my own ears!" ”

Cai Guohong's face was a little ugly.

Then the leading cadres of Bibei City and the members of the provincial political axe investigation team shook hands and met in turn, which was regarded as getting to know each other. Zhao Changfeng lined up behind several deputy secretaries, and after following Wu Weiping, he shook hands with the members of the investigation team behind him one by one. When he was about to come to the end, Zhao Changfeng suddenly found a familiar face in the middle of the investigation team, it was Luo Qingfeng, the deputy squadron leader of the National Security Brigade of the Provincial Public Security Department.

Speaking of this Luo Qingfeng, he is actually not very familiar with Zhao Changfeng, Zhao Changfeng and him have only met a few times. However, Zhao Changfeng and Luo Qingfeng's elder brother, Luo Qingshan, head of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department, was a classmate in the training class for young cadres at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee. Because of this relationship, Zhao Changfeng went to Luo Qingshan's house several times and met Luo Qingfeng. Zhao Changfeng didn't expect Luo Qingfeng to follow the provincial political axe investigation team this time, so many things would be easier to do.

Luo Qingfeng also saw Zhao Changfeng, and couldn't help but be stunned, Zhao Changfeng rushed up to shake hands first, his eyes blinked violently, and he said, "Captain Luo, right?" Please take care of your first meeting. ”

Luo Qingfeng does public security work, what scene have you not seen? Hearing Zhao Changfeng say this, he knew that there must be a reason, so he pretended to be confused and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhao Changfeng said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce myself, I am Zhao Changfeng, the executive deputy mayor of Bibei City." ”

"Hello Mayor Zhao, our investigation team has come down, and we ask you to cooperate with our work." Luo Qingfeng smiled.

After the greetings, Wu Weiping's face changed, and he reprimanded Cai Guohong and Liu Guanghui: "This time I led a team here to investigate the beating of the environmental protection joint investigation team, not to relax, what do you mean by making such a big move?" ”

For a while, the leaders of several major teams in Bibei City who were present changed their faces, and everyone looked at Cai Guohong to see how he explained. Liu Guanghui stood quietly to the side, with a graceful smile on his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. He doesn't have to worry about this matter at all, according to the rules of officialdom, Cai Guohong, the leader of Bibei City, should come forward to answer this question.

Cai Guohongqiang said with a smile: "Governor Wu, we are not doing this to talk about pomp and formality, but mainly to maintain the prestige of the provincial political axe, after all, you are the vice governor of Central Plains Province!" ”

The people next to him were secretly convinced, Cai Guohong deserved to be a veteran of officialdom, and he was impeccable in saying this, even if Wu Weiping wanted to find a fault, he couldn't find it.

Wu Weiping said with a cold face: "Secretary Guohong, can you maintain the prestige of the provincial political axe by coming to so many convoys?" When the environmental investigation team sent by the provincial political axe was beaten, why did the leaders of your Bibei City not think of maintaining the prestige of the provincial political axe? Besides, to engage in this kind of formalism and bureaucracy is to maintain the prestige of the provincial political axe? So the provincial government has repeatedly ordered to control polluting enterprises, why don't you implement it in Bibei City? ”
