Chapter 383: Old Rivals (2)
The high-ranking officials in the province are divided into factions, and the leaders must have a group of people under them to make it easy to deploy, and the subordinates are also unable to become their own people in the so-called circle of high-ranking officials.
Minister Qian climbed from a small clerk to today's position, and the biggest backer is Chang Chongde, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and vice governor.
Money talks.
This sentence is the golden rule that Minister Qian has been using in officialdom over the years, in order to be able to move the old leader to help him get through the catastrophe in front of him, this time he came to visit Chang Chongde but made a heavy investment, and brought a pearl that is said to be in Cixi's mouth when she was buried.
This priceless jewel, the old leader has been in his hands for a while, every night, he likes to be alone in the study, put out all the lights, leaving only this jewel on the desk, the room is still shining, although not like the light to make the room as bright as day, but it is also crystal clear and beautiful.
This treasure is the old leader spent a lot of money to get it, has been reluctant to take it out, this time is really in the emergency matter, will bring this jewel to the provincial capital to honor Chang Chongde.
In Chang Chongde's office, the couplet of "one heart for the people, two sleeves and a breeze" is framed into an antique and hangs in the most eye-catching position, the snow-white wall reflects the elegant white paper and black characters of the font, which makes people look like they can't help but nod their heads frequently.
Minister Qian hasn't been to the provincial capital for a few days, Chang Chongde saw him suddenly come out without a sound, and knew that something must be wrong, seeing that Minister Qian took out a brocade box without saying a word, Chang Chongde couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
Minister Qian has always been generous over the years, and every time he pays tribute, he will bring him a surprise, I don't know what good things he got this time? Chang Chongde even had some expectations in his heart.
"What is this?" Chang Chongde pointed to Minister Qian's inconspicuous-looking brocade box on the table.
"I'll help you close the curtains first." Minister Qian knew that the jewel could only show its most dazzling brilliance in a dark environment, so in order to better highlight the noble and elegant psychic temperament of the jewel, he put down the box containing the jewel and began to pull the curtains.
"What the hell are you doing with a little money?" Chang Chongde's appetite was suddenly adjusted, and his eyes obviously showed a bit of brilliance.
After the curtains were drawn, the light in the office suddenly dimmed a lot, and Minister Qian turned around and opened the box with his own hands in front of Chang Chongde.
The faint light slowly revealed through the gap, and Chang Chongde stared at the brocade box with two round eyes, "Oh my God! Isn't it? He looked up in astonishment at Minister Qian, who was smiling at him, and blurted out a question:
"This is the Pearl of the Night?"
"A while ago, I picked up the good things from the antique market, and those experts in the identification of cultural relics said in unison that it was a veritable pearl of the night, how could I understand this as a layman?" Minister Qian deliberately said it lightly.
Looking at the dazzling orb in front of him, Chang Chongde stared at the shining place with his eyes and pondered in his heart, "Xiao Qian suddenly came to the provincial capital this time and gave himself such a valuable gift, what is the big deal?" ”
The leaders in the officialdom can do which one of the high-ranking officials is not a person who has been tempered by thousands of tempers, this kind of person is a small case for casual acting, and the acting skills of the actor and actress may not be comparable, Chang Chongde quickly recovered from the surprise when he first saw the jewel, and reluctantly returned to normal in an instant after retracting his gaze from the box containing the jewel.
"Xiao Qian, this time I came to the provincial capital to send this gadget here, right? Are there any difficulties at work? ”
Chang Chongde's words just went to Minister Qian's heart, didn't he just encounter a great difficulty and ask Vice Governor Chang for help? I'm afraid that only with the help of Vice Governor Chang can I avoid a catastrophe this time.
Minister Qian didn't like to hide it when he spoke in front of Chang Chongde, and whatever he thought in his heart would be bald in his mouth.
"You really let you guess correctly this time, I came to you this time in the hope that you could come forward to help me ask the leaders of the municipal party committee of Pu'an City for a big favor, but I don't know if it's convenient?"
Chang Chongde said, "With such a valuable gift in my hand, no matter how inconvenient it is, I have to do my best, otherwise, how can I be worthy of your thoughts." ”
"What the hell is going on? Look at your embarrassed face? ”
Minister Qian truthfully reported that his wife and brother were caught by the Pushui County Commission for Discipline Inspection, and now the Pushui County Commission for Discipline Inspection is not relaxing in grasping this case, and he is worried that his wife and brother will not say anything in the Commission for Discipline Inspection and then implicate themselves.
At the mention of the word "Commission for Discipline Inspection", Chang Chongde immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and the most taboo thing in officialdom is to play legal games, and if you are unlucky, it is easy to set yourself on fire.
"How do you want me to help you?" Chang Chongde asked Minister Qian.
"I want you to ask you to personally say a word to Liu Guoan, the secretary of the municipal party committee of Pu'an City, so that my wife and brother's simple case will be turned into a small matter, so that I don't have to worry about anything."
Chang Chongde heard this, frowned and asked: "You are a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and you have been a leading cadre in Pu'an City for so many years, why can't you settle this little matter yourself?" Need to make a big detour from me? ”
"This matter will be for a while, and I can't completely explain it clearly, in short, Chen Dalong, the acting county magistrate of Pushui County, has become an incompatible opponent with me because of many contradictions, and this time the Pushui County Commission for Discipline Inspection is simply equal to my wife and brother, it should be he instructed his subordinates to do it, because the secretary of the Pushui County Commission for Discipline Inspection is the ...... he carried it up." Minister Qian explained.
Before Minister Qian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chang Chongde, and asked in an unbelievable tone: "Xiao Qian, who did you just say is an incompatible opponent with you?" ”
Minister Qian looked at Chang Chongde's eyes staring at him, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, could it be that Chen Dalong's hand had already touched his backer Chang Chongde?
Minister Qian repeated again: "I'm talking about Chen Dalong, the acting county magistrate of Pushui County. ”
Chang Chongde's face immediately changed color, and he said to Minister Qian in a cautious tone: "Xiao Qian, there are only two of us in this office today, if you want me to help, you must tell me all the causes and consequences of the matter honestly, I still know the temperament of Chen Dalong, why did the two of you make such a fuss?" ”
Minister Qian secretly screamed "not good" in his heart, what he was worried about really happened? But after thinking about it, how many years of friendship he has had with Chang Chongde, even if Chen Dalong has now become involved with Chang Chongde through some channel, the balance must be biased in Chang Chongde's heart.
Since Chang Chongde wanted to start from the beginning, Minister Qian had to start from the beginning and slowly talk about it, the battle between Jiang Boss and Chen Dalong must be said, after all, a human life was forced to die, and the culprit who forced the death was naturally Chen Dalong; It must be said that this time to help Liu Yangguang compete for the position of county magistrate, maybe this matter will need to rely on Chang Chongde's strength at a critical time.
And the fact that his son was secretly kidnapped by Chen Dalong is naturally impossible to say, this kind of thing is too serious and involves the problem of sky-high ransom, if Chang Chongde knows that his strength is actually strong to such a point, even if he thinks about it with his toes, he can guess how many people and ointment he has looted over the years when he has been the county magistrate and secretary of the county party committee.
In Minister Qian's narration, Chen Dalong has become an image that Chang Chongde can't imagine, this person is not only vicious but also quite hegemonic, extremely selfish in what he says and does, if anyone disobeys his will, he will definitely find out his heart to make the other party not end well.
And Minister Qian himself has become a pitiful character in this play, even if he is passive everywhere, while constantly tolerating and retreating, he was forced by Chen Dalong step by step, to the point where there is nowhere to escape.
No wonder someone once said, "The so-called truth in this world actually has a self-perceived truth in everyone's heart." ”
When people narrate the "truth", they will definitely focus on the shortcomings of others, and will not talk too much about their own shortcomings, which is a kind of human instinct to protect themselves, and always want to establish a relatively positive image in front of the audience.
When Minister Qian finished talking about the long list of causes and consequences, he realized that his mouth was dry, but Chang Chongde's expression was in a state of condensation, as if he was listening carefully to Minister Qian's narration and as if he was thinking about something.
Minister Qian finally finished saying everything, and he stared at Chang Chongde with both eyes, wanting to find out Chang Chongde's attitude towards this matter from the subtle changes in Chang Chongde's facial expression.
Chang Chongde's heart at this moment can be described as turbulent, he never dreamed that his own Minister Qian, who he had brought up in one hand, would have so many twists and turns with his descendant Chen Dalong, this is really:
The water washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't know the family!
At this time, Chang Chongde had already made a decision in his heart after turning the river and the sea in his heart, he must not let Minister Qian and Chen Dalong continue to mess around like this, no matter who was defeated in the end, he didn't want to see it.
Thinking of this, Chang Chongde let out a long sigh and said, "Oops! You little money, why didn't you report these things to me earlier? ”
Minister Qian listened to Chang Chongde's words, and couldn't guess what Chang Chongde's true intentions were for a while, and explained with a smile on his face: "You understand my personality, unless it's a problem that can't be solved, otherwise, how can I be embarrassed to come over and trouble you?" ”
