Chapter Thirty-Eight: Joining Forces

The next morning, Zhao Botao walked into the office excitedly, happy that he was finally able to open the breakthrough. Lu Xiaomei is actually just one of his many mistresses, if he can successfully bring down Li Xiaoning this time, even if it is impossible to sacrifice Lu Xiaomei, but District Chief Zhao is a little reluctant in his heart.

Just when Zhao Botao was thinking about whether to call Lu Xiaomei and ask her to hide abroad first, the door of the office was pushed open. Fan Pingyuan, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, walked over with two unfamiliar faces under the leadership of the office director, the two people were dressed in the same black suit, no tie, and a small party emblem pinned to the collar.

Zhao Botao suddenly panicked, his scalp exploded, and he watched Fan Pingyuan and his gang walk up to him in a daze, and listened to Fan Pingyuan in a daze: "Zhao Botao, I now officially inform you on behalf of the organization that you are suspended from all positions because you are suspected of violating discipline strictly. Come back with us and get investigated. ”

Zhao Botao was shuanggui, and at the same time, Xia Yan and Song Pengfei were also taken away. Li Xiaoning was released on the spot and reinstated.

After Zhao Botao was sentenced to shuanggui, before the formal interrogation, Fan Pingyuan had a secret conversation.

Fan Pingyuan first handed a cigarette to Zhao Botao, and then said: "It was Lu Xiaomei who exposed you, and the materials were directly handed over to Liu Qifeng, and we can only do business." ”

"This slut, where is she now?" Zhao Botao asked viciously.

"She's gone abroad and we can't find her. It is estimated that there is a master behind it! Fan Pingyuan said with a sigh. He also felt very tired, a large group of old oilmen in the officialdom couldn't deal with a little Li Xiaoning, and he also folded in Wu Liangde, Zhao Botao and Xia Yan one after another, which made him feel very panicked.

The two were silent for a while, and Fan Pingyuan continued: "Lao Zhao, have you figured out what to do?" ”

Zhao Botao immediately said: "You tell the boss and let him rest assured that I will never talk nonsense." ”

Fan Pingyuan nodded and said, "As long as you don't talk nonsense, I am still your friend, and the boss is still your friend." The organization will not treat any comrades who have made selfless contributions. Remember, this matter is over when you do, this case is handled by me, as long as you carry all the charges off, I will keep you from dying. ”

Zhao Botao understood what Fan Pingyuan meant by this. I have mastered a lot of secrets, once I say it, Xue Guoping may also fall, so that it will be over, if Xue Guoping does not fall, even if he is sentenced to ten or twenty years, he can come out and live a good life again. It's just that after ten or twenty years, how many more days can I live? Hey, if you knew there was today, why bother in the first place?

After Fan Pingyuan left, Zhao Botao's heart was so confused that he unconsciously spent the night without even eating, and had countless nightmares.

When he woke up in the morning, after struggling to feed, Zhao Botao finally trembled and climbed onto the windowsill. He stood on the windowsill and opened the window, it was a good day, there was no haze, and the sky was clear. He looked down the stairs and felt that the height of the three floors, if it wasn't for the head-down vertical landing, seemed to be not enough to end his life.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Botao finally couldn't make up his mind to commit suicide, took a long sigh of relief, retreated, and leaned against the wall, his face was already full of tears.

After Li Xiaoning was released, he did not go back immediately, but went to the place where Song Pengfei was held, and he wanted to talk to Song Pengfei in person.

Li Xiaoning walked into the room and saw Song Pengfei sitting on the bed decadently, and when he saw him come in, he immediately stared at him with resentful eyes.

Li Xiaoning waved his hand at the discipline inspectors who followed behind him and said, "You go out, close the door, I want to have a good talk with him!" ”

The inspector withdrew and closed the door gently. Li Xiaoning walked across from Song Pengfei and pulled a chair to sit down. stared at him for a long time, and he hadn't seen him for a few days, and the young and confident Mayor Song was gone, and now Song Pengfei had thin cheeks and a blue face.

Li Xiaoning sighed and said, "Old Song, do you know how I feel when you and I meet for the first time?" ”

Song Pengfei was still staring at him resentfully, without saying a word, Li Xiaoning said to himself: "That's a very wonderful feeling, as soon as I saw you, I wishfully decided that you were a friend, and I really wanted to start a career with you...... Hehe, but you seem to have a deep prejudice against me, you have repeatedly opposed me, and even framed me with Simon Zhou, I don't blame you for that, do you believe it? I don't blame you at all. ”

Song Pengfei grinned his shriveled lips and smiled coldly, obviously not believing Li Xiaoning's words at all.

Li Xiaoning said helplessly: "I know you don't believe it, but I'm telling the truth, I don't know about the organizational adjustment of the leadership team of Jinsha Town this time." I even thought I'd apply to the organization again in a few days and let you come back. Why do you insist on enmity against me? ”

Song Pengfei smiled gloomily: "Because you...... You Li Xiaoning is a hypocrite! I'm just making false accusations this time, I didn't take bribes, I didn't mess with women, you can't fix me, can you? So buy it again, villain! ”

Li Xiaoning said worriedly: "What kind of grievances do we have? Isn't that inexplicable? Don't put all the cranky things in your heart on me. I really want to reconcile with you, I won't pursue your false accusations against me, not even the fact that you found out that my girlfriend was kidnapped and didn't sue me. As long as you nod, I will immediately try to bail you out and let you return to Jinsha Town as the mayor, it is not impossible. Can you stop clinging to those imaginary hatreds? ”

Song Pengfei sneered and said, "Yes, of course I can." I will weep bitterly and admit my mistakes to the organization, repent bitterly, honestly accept the punishment given to me by the organization, and strive for leniency. I reported you too recklessly this time, next time, I will be more careful! ”

In bursts of sneering, Song Pengfei continued to say viciously: "This time I lost to you again, but I learned to be obedient." After I go out, I will endure until the opportunity comes. You'd better start praying now that you don't make any more mistakes in your life, or I'll ruin you. ”

Listening to Song Pengfei's words, Li Xiaoning couldn't help but clench his fists, and his body trembled slightly from anger. Seeing this, Song Pengfei was even more crazy, he raised his noise and shouted: "Li Xiaoning, what are you shaking?" Aren't you awesome? Would you be scared too? Haha, you hypocrite, you have ruined my future! What you gave me, I will ask you to pay back a thousand, ten thousand times! ”

Song Pengfei's eyes shone with a crazy light, and he said in a dreamy tone: "I will use any means to deal with you, I want you to live in fear forever, I want you to ...... Ah......h

As he said this, he suddenly rolled over and fell to the ground, his hands tightly covering his nose, and a few wisps of dark brown blood ran down his fingers.

Li Xiaoning stood up, stood in front of Song Pengfei and said in a low voice: "Song Pengfei, do you think you scared me?" You're not qualified enough! Your words can only make me look down on you even more! ”

Resisting the urge to beat Song Pengfei again, Li Xiaoning said in a mocking tone: "Song Pengfei, you are really an unsuccessful wreck, you were before, you are now, and you will still be in the future." You should not provoke me, for you will never be my opponent. You idiot! ”

Song Pengfei was like a rooster with his throat cut, hissing, he wanted to scold Li Xiaoning, but the pain of his broken nose bone made him unable to speak.

The discipline inspectors outside the door heard the movement, hurriedly pushed the door open, came in and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"He's going to kill himself, and he broke his face!" Li Xiaoning opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"You didn't hit it?" The discipline inspector asked with a frown.

"Why should I hit him?" Li Xiaoning spread his hands and said.

Li Xiaoning didn't admit it, and the discipline inspector didn't have anything to do with him, besides, now everyone knows that Li Xiaoning is the winner of this struggle, and he does things by himself, so why can't he get along with him? didn't say anything at the moment, and dragged Song Pengfei towards the infirmary.

When Li Xiaoning returned to his office in Jinsha Town, Hou Xiucai and Bai Dengke were already waiting there.

This is the first time Li Xiaoning has met Hou Xiucai, after listening to Bai Dengke relay what Hou Xiucai has done for himself in the past two days, he was overjoyed, held Hou Xiucai's hand tightly, and said: "Xiucai, I heard Xu Jing talk about you, saying that you are a talent, but I didn't expect to be a genius!" ”

Hou Xiucai smiled and said, "I also heard Sister Jing talk about you. ”

"Oh? What did she say about me? Li Xiaoning wanted to know what he was like in Xu Jing's mind.

"She says you're a badass!" Hou Xiucai said seriously.

Li Xiaoning couldn't help but blush, Xu Jing's villain probably meant that, but he was really hard to explain.

"But I now know that you're not a badass, you're an idiot!" Hou Xiucai was speechless again.

"Idiot?" Li Xiaoning was happy, "What? Do I look stupid? ”

"Not very stupid, but very stupid." Hou Xiucai said with a straight face, "You should really go buy lottery tickets, because your luck is so good." According to your character and behavior, you should have been killed seven or eight times. If I work for you, I'll definitely regret it. ”

Li Xiaoning is not a saint, he was violently injured in front of him like this, especially when there was Bai Dengke next to him, his face was a little unbearable, and he just wanted to have a seizure. Hou Xiucai had already continued: "But you are a fool who is bent on making things better, and you do have extraordinary talents, coupled with your invincible luck. If I don't form an alliance with you, I'll regret it even more. ”

"Very objective evaluation of me!" Li Xiaoning smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Tell me your request!" ”

Hou Xiucai said: "My request is very simple, just three points.

First, I only work for you, not for the government.

Second, you may not listen to me completely, but you must trust me completely.

Third, in view of your current income level, my salary requirement for the first year is 100,000 yuan per year, and the annual growth rate cannot be less than 15% in the future. By the way, the salary should be paid in advance. ”

Listening to Hou Xiucai's three requests, Bai Dengke rolled his eyes beside him, this Hou Xiucai is too awesome, right? According to his meaning, Li Xiaoning had to pay for him himself, and he had to pay first, and he had to trust him completely. You haven't been to work for a day, why do you ask for this?

Unexpectedly, what surprised him even more was that Li Xiaoning didn't think about it, so he said to Hou Xiucai: "Do you accept checks?" ”
