The telephone next to the sofa rang, Qiao Zhenliang picked up the phone casually, and when he heard his father's voice on the phone, his expression immediately became respectful.

Qiao Lao's voice was as calm and slow as ever, although his voice was not loud, but it was full of strength: "Does Huanyu's matter have anything to do with Pengju?" ”

Qiao Zhenliang said in a low voice: "Dad, I'm looking for him!" "Let me ask you, does that incident have anything to do with Pengju?" Qiao Zhenliang was silent for a moment, and then said, "Yes!" Qiao Lao said: "I warned you a long time ago, don't let it go, now it's okay, something is wrong?" ”

"Dad, I doubt ......"

"Don't tell me those nonsense words, can't you see the situation in front of you clearly, the matter of Pengju will definitely be infinitely magnified, you are mentally prepared, this matter is likely to affect your political future and the reputation of our Qiao family." Qiao Zhenliang's breathing became rapid, his father's words were by no means alarmist, although he has been in politics so far, he has tried to be honest and honest, but in the discipline of his children, he is indeed negligent, when his son is in Hainan to fry land, he should have reminded him, but he didn't, there are few opportunities for face-to-face communication between their father and son, and now Qiao Pengju is playing bigger and bigger, and he actually has such a large amount of financing, and he is suspected of commercial crimes, this leak has been bigger.

Qiao Zhenliang said in a low voice: "Dad, I will take care of this matter." Qiao Lao sighed and said: "It's useless to guarantee, Zhenliang, the family is unlucky!" Qiao Zhenliang understood the meaning of his father's words, the family unfortunately had such a rebellious son, and his son had endangered the reputation of the entire Qiao family this time, bringing them the biggest political crisis of the Qiao family since the Cultural Revolution, Qiao Lao had hung up the phone, Qiao Zhenliang sat there with the earpiece, and it took a long time to hear his daughter's voice reminding him.

Qiao Zhenliang put down the phone and smiled at his daughter, but his smile was full of sourness.

Qiao Mengyuan said: "Dad, take care of your nose!" Qiao Zhenliang nodded, since this storm is destined to come, he can only meet it, avoiding it can't solve the problem, the political struggle is extremely cruel, the opponent will never let you go because you avoid it, they will seize every opportunity to launch an offensive against you, until they knock you to the dust, never turn over. He straightened his back and walked outside, the sun was good, but Qiao Zhenliang's inner world was dark.

Pinghai's meeting of the Provincial Standing Committee had a bit of an unusual smell, and these veteran politicians had already smelled the smoke of gunpowder in advance, and they expected an unprecedented storm to come. Qiao Zhenliang's face is no longer the signature smile of the past, everyone knows that he is not in a good mood now, and it is strange that he can laugh at this time.

Some scars are real, no matter how you want to avoid them, there are always people who try to uncover them, but Qiao Zhenliang didn't expect that it was Kong Yuan, the head of the organization, who first stood up to uncover this scar.

After Qiao Zhenliang spoke, Kong Yuan said slowly: "Let me say a few words, something has happened recently, have you heard of it, Comrade Chen Pingchao's son has absconded because of illegal fundraising. In this sentence, he used two dignified words, illegal fund-raising and absconding in fear of crime, which is equivalent to putting Chen Shaobin in the coffin.

When Kong Yuan said this, everyone's eyes were looking at Qiao Zhenliang, Kong Yuan was talking about Chen Shaobin on the surface, but in fact, he aimed his gun at Qiao Zhenliang, the secretary of the provincial party committee, who gave him such courage to dare to openly brush the tiger's whiskers, although Qiao Zhenliang was in trouble, but now after all, he is still sitting in the seat of the provincial party committee's secretary.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "There is no need to discuss this kind of thing. He looked at Kong Yuan coldly, and said in his heart that you yourself are not clean, the matter of Huiyuan Hotel has just passed a few days, and you dare to jump out and attack me? Lao Tzu has not yet gotten mixed to the point where the tiger falls and Pingyang is bullied by dogs.

Provincial Governor Song Huaiming said: "Qiao Shuji, I think this matter is not a trivial matter, and the impact of this incident is very bad, as far as I know, many children of cadres in our province have participated in this matter, and the day before yesterday there was a lot of trouble that many people went to Chen's house to ask for accounts, there is evidence that this incident is an illegal fund-raising behavior using high-interest circle money, and the Hong Kong side has now filed a case for investigation. ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I don't know the specific situation, before the results of the investigation come out, I hope you don't believe some rumors in the society." Even Qiao Zhenliang himself knew how pale his words were, he cleared his throat and said: "I know, there are many rumors in the society now, that the protagonist of this fund-raising case is my Qiao Zhenliang's son, and there have been a lot of rumors against me recently, I need to make a statement here, I Qiao Zhenliang has been an official for more than 30 years, I have never done anything with power, I do things but seek fairness and strictness, if my family is found to have illegal behaviors in business operations, I will not shelter, I will be the first to stand up and bring him to justice. Qiao Zhenliang's voice was very loud, but his confidence was not very strong.

The state has repeatedly ordered and ordered the children of cadres to be prohibited from doing business, but everyone they are present has more or less relatives engaged in business, and if nothing happens, they will naturally be implicated in an accident, compared with Qiao Pengju's fund-raising case, Kang Cheng's previous provocation of Huiyuan Fengbo is just a trivial matter, and the Standing Committee members have been keenly aware that Qiao Zhenliang's hurdle is not good, don't look at his career has been proud, this time he may have to be a heel.

Someone dares to openly oppose the Qiao family, this person's background must be extraordinary, and the Standing Committee members have begun to think about the future of the line. This is called taking precautions, and people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries.

Executive Vice Governor Jiao Naiwang said: "The impact of this fund-raising incident on the society is very bad, so the issue of cadres' children doing business has been put back in front of the public's eyes. ”

Governor Song Huaiming said: "The image of the country, the image of the leadership team, can not be established overnight, but it is easy to destroy it, I think, we must be clear about the concept of prohibiting children from doing business, not because of the same thing to make the public lose confidence in us, let the people be disappointed in our government." Qiao Zhenliang looked coldly at Song Huaiming, who was talking eloquently, today's Song Huaiming swept away the decline of the past, and officially raised the banner of fighting against himself, the Huanyu fundraising case is a golden opportunity for him, Song Huaiming will not let it go, but Qiao Zhenliang believes that it is not Song Huaiming who instigated this political storm, but someone else, he locks his suspicions on Wen Guoquan's body, Wen Guoquan and Qiao's family are on opposite sides politically, and his father does not like Wen Guoquan's Ji Jin, Pressing the treasure on Fu Xianliang, another popular candidate for general manager, Wen Guoquan wants to defeat Fu Xianliang, he must first remove the Qiao family, the biggest help behind Fu Xianliang, and Qiao Pengju made an illegal fundraising case at this time, which just gave him the best opportunity.

Qiao Zhenliang couldn't remember how the meeting ended, since he came to Pinghai to govern, he had never been so depressed and depressed, he returned to his office and called Yan Guotao, secretary general of the provincial party committee.

Yan Guotao's face is not good-looking, he is a cadre who Qiao Zhenliang has pulled up, and he naturally stands firmly on Qiao Zhenliang's side, but what happened in front of him has made him have a serious sense of political crisis, his political prospects are bound to the Qiao family, political things, both glory and loss, he has not yet ascended to the position he wants, he doesn't want to be the object of Zhulian like this.

There were a few newspapers on Qiao Zhenliang's desk, and he said in a low voice: "Many newspapers in China are deliberately publicizing this matter. ”

Yan Guotao said: "Pinghai's current media performance is quite cautious. Qiao Zhenliang's corner floated with a wry smile, as the secretary of the Pinghai Provincial Party Committee, if even the media under his rule dared to publicize it indiscriminately, his secretary of the provincial party committee would be in vain.

Yan Guotao said: "Things are a bit spicy! ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "This is a bureau, my stupid son only cares about his immediate interests, and he is introduced into the bureau, and he doesn't know what kind of trouble he will bring to the family?" Yan Guotao said: "This matter may need the old man to come forward, otherwise it may cause more trouble." Yan Guotao believes that at present, only Qiao Lao's influence can calm down this matter, so as not to affect Qiao Zhenliang's political future, and keeping Qiao Zhenliang is equivalent to saving himself. In fact, he also knew that what he said was nonsense, and it was impossible for Qiao Lao to sit idly by and watch his family fall into trouble.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Guotao, if you were me, what would you do?" Yan Guotao was silent, he was not Qiao Zhenliang, he didn't have such a deep political background, he was thinking about how to answer in his heart.

Qiao Zhenliang saw his hesitation: "Say it, it's okay!" ”

Yan Guotao said: "According to what I have learned so far, Pengju has an inseparable relationship in this matter, and I think that we should take the lead in dealing with the situation before it deteriorates further." ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I can't even contact him." ”

Yan Guotao said: "Pengju has already had a problem, and this matter can only push him out, but don't forget, Mengyuan also has a lot of business in Pinghai, and this storm is likely to affect her." Qiao Zhenliang nodded: "Mengyuan is steady, she won't have a problem." "Whether there is a problem or not, the people will not believe it, the matter of Pengju will inevitably cause a crisis of trust in you, Qiao Shuji, with all due respect, this matter must be decided immediately, if you miss the opportunity, I am afraid that you will be attacked more fiercely by the opponent." Qiao Zhenliang said: "The reputation of my life is ruined in the hands of this bastard!" ”！。
