The phone rang for a while, but Zhao Guodong never noticed.

He has been immersed in the topic that Yao Wenzhi and himself talked about just now, and he can't extricate himself.

The news that Yao Wenzhi brought to him shocked him, although he had already made some mental preparations, but he still didn't expect this storm to be so ferocious.

The Ministry of State Security and the Ministry of Public Security jointly carried out simultaneous operations in eight provinces and cities, and within three days arrested 22 criminals suspected of endangering national security, two of whom were Australian, one was Japanese, and the remaining 19 were Chinese.

The people involved in the case are all people in the steel industry, and most of them hold certain positions in several large state-owned and private steel enterprises, and Xiao Chunyang, vice president of Beijing Iron and Steel International, is on the list, causing a huge shock in the entire steel industry.

The two Australian nationals involved in the case are also senior executives of Liangtuo, and the Japanese nationals are a supervisor in charge of iron ore trading at Mitsui & Co.

The state security departments and public security organs of the eight provinces and municipalities of Beijing, Hujiang, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Suzhou, Liaoning, and Hubei arrested 22 people involved in the case on the same day and criminally detained them for the crime of endangering national security.

What made Zhao Guodong feel a little comforted was that Li Yonggang was not involved in this arrest operation, but Yao Wenzhi quickly broke Zhao Guodong's illusion that the state security organs and public security organs would follow a series of actions, and it was estimated that many people would be involved.

Zhao Guodong didn't know how tightly Li Yonggang and Xiao Chunyang, Qi Liancheng and others were stirring up, but he was sure that Li Yonggang was afraid that it would be difficult to get out, even if he would not be characterized as a crime endangering national security, but the crime of leaking state secrets was only afraid that it would be difficult to get rid of it.

In fact, when Yao Wenzhi was appointed vice minister of commerce, Zhao Guodong and Yao Wenzhi analyzed the reasons for the repeated setbacks of the Chinese negotiation team in the iron ore negotiations, and both agreed that the Chinese negotiators were passive step by step in the negotiations, and the three major mining companies were well aware of the major domestic steel mills and wharf stocks, steel mills, iron ore stocks and even coking coal stocks, which made the Chinese negotiators negotiate like they were naked and negotiating with each other.

Both of them feel that the problem exists to a large extent internally, especially in the case of the obvious sluggishness of the domestic steel market, the three major mining companies are still aggressive and confident, which can not help but make people think deeply, Yao Wenzhi discussed the situation within the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Commerce decided to respond to the relevant departments, and Zhao Guodong provided some information as the most important clues, and the national security department and the public security department have already received some feedback, but there is no clear clue, in this case, the Ministry of State Security, The Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Commerce jointly launched an investigation into the matter, which became the first thing Yao Wenzhi did after taking office as vice minister of commerce.

Unexpectedly, the Ministry of State Security and the Ministry of Public Security quickly made a breakthrough in the investigation, and the clues obtained through various investigative methods were quickly fed back, and a huge spy intelligence network covering the entire Chinese iron and steel enterprises soon appeared in front of the state security department and the public security department.

The news was no longer a secret, and it quickly became the focus of major media outlets, with spokesmen for the state security and public security departments confirming the news, but not announcing the details.

This is also a huge shock to the iron ore negotiations, which are still in the midst of an arduous tug-of-war, and at least three of the arrested people are members of the Chinese side of this year's negotiations and the previous two years, which is even more incredible than a suspense movie.

The phone vibrated persistently, Zhao Guodong realized that his emotions seemed to be too affected by this incident, so he quickly packed up his feelings, this kind of thing was actually mentally prepared for a long time, but he didn't expect this wave of storm to blow so violently.

took out the phone only to find that it was Ge Jinglai's call, and Zhao Guodong hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"Sister Ge, I'm really sorry, I didn't notice ,??????"

"Hey, I thought you were afraid to answer the phone for the past two days, and no one would answer anyone's phone." Ge Jing's phone is always so quiet, even if the tone of complaint is so friendly.

"Hehe, it's true that there have been a lot of calls in the past two days, but I don't dare not answer the phone." Since the broadcast of that episode of "Dialogue", Zhao Guodong found that his phone frequency had increased at least three times, especially the phone held by Ouyang Jinhua, and there was almost no time to spare, even his private phone has not stopped, from the economic world, the media, and some business circles, those who know and don't know, will contact him through various channels, which makes Zhao Guodong feel like he has stabbed a hornet's nest.

"Hehe, who told you to tell the truth in CCTV?" Ge Jing also made a rare joke about Zhao Guodong.

"Sister Ge, is it also a sin to tell the truth?" Zhao Guodong's heart moved slightly, and Ge Jing would not be untargeted.

"Telling the truth is of course a good thing, but some people are reluctant to listen to the truth because they avoid medical treatment, especially when the truth also involves their own interests, and their mentality will inevitably be unbalanced." Ge Jing's tone was calm, but there was obviously value in her words.

Zhao Guodong also vaguely felt what Ge Jing's words meant, the last question of the host of the "Dialogue" column was indeed too sharp, and his answer obviously touched the interests of many people, especially this kind of-for-tat response, it is easy to make people feel that they are doing it deliberately, but in that environment, Zhao Guodong does not want to go against his heart, not to mention whether his views are true, whether they are correct, and whether they have their own opinions.

"Sister Ge, I am mentally prepared, I was mentally prepared when Director Quan Jun asked me to be on TV, I don't plan to play haha, say something ambiguous and specious, then it will lose its meaning, I just talk about some of my own views in line with my own principles of being a man, most of the views, I have exchanged views with Director Quan Jun, but the last topic, I did not discuss with Director Quan Jun, but I am responsible for what I said."

Zhao Guodong's tone was quite firm and heavy, and Ge Jing couldn't help but laugh out loud on the phone, "Guodong, you seem to have committed a terrible crime, as for it?" It's just a battle of opinions, not to mention that I don't think there's anything wrong with your point of view, and I also believe that there are many people who agree with your point of view. ”

Zhao Guodong also figured out the taste, there was no taste of blame or criticism in Ge Jing's words, it was just some ridicule before, at this time Zhao Guodong was a little relieved, after all, saying the wrong thing at this level may be a political issue, even if he thinks that his views are correct, but whether it is appropriate to say it on that occasion, Zhao Guodong himself is a little afraid afterwards.

"Okay, Guodong, don't worry about what has passed, where are you, if you can, you can come to me, I have something to talk to you about." Ge Jing said quietly.

"Now?" Zhao Guodong was taken aback, "Is it something urgent?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry, but I want to talk to you earlier, I have a bottom in my heart, it's the end of the year soon, there are too many things, and it may be the end of the year if it is delayed." Ge Jing didn't go around in circles, "It's about where you're going." ”

"Where am I going?" Zhao Guodong was taken aback, he has only been in the National Development and Reform Commission for less than a year, can it be said that he has to adjust himself again, this is too child's play, right?

"Well, this question is still uncertain, you can come over first." Ge Jing said no more.

Putting down the phone, Ge Jing fell into deep thought, to be honest, she also didn't think about Zhao Guodong's whereabouts, but in the morning, when she reported to the vice chairman, the vice chairman talked about some of the situations that made Ge Jing understand.

The vice chairman talked about the issue of rejuvenating cadres, talked about the problem of cultivating young outstanding cadres to be used on the cutting edge, and also talked about the problem of having the courage to blaze new trails.

The vice chairman is not talkative, a very low-key and modest person, but every sentence is very weighty, Ge Jing has a lot of respect for the vice chairman, this old man has been working in the Secretariat for a long time, and has a very accurate and deep grasp of political and ideological work and the construction of the cadre team.

It was the vice chairman who took the initiative to break Ge Jing's doubts and talked about some of his thoughts and views.

The period from April to June is the time for the election of deputies to the 17 th CPC National Congress, that is to say, within two months, the provinces will complete the election of deputies to the 17 th CPC National Congress, and before that, some preliminary layout adjustments will also be carried out, and some principal leaders of the provinces will also be adjusted during this period because of their age or rotation, and the central authorities intend to have some new actions with a relatively large range in this round of readjustment, among which the promotion and appointment of some open-minded, broad-minded, and innovative young cadres to important posts is one of them.
