There is a private club adjacent to the Shihua Hotel, called "Nanling Scenery".

"Nanling Scenery" is nominally not the same owner as the Shihua Hotel, but the Shihua Hotel has a secret passage that can be directly connected to it.

The "old place" that Fu Damu said was a secret room in the "Nanling Scenery", which was specially used for him to receive VIPs and discuss things.

From the outside, this secret room is inconspicuous, far away from the staircase, next to the operation room, and there is no room number, and the guests who come to consume will not take it seriously, and generally think that it is just an office room in the clubhouse.

This is almost a replica of the county magistrate's suite at the Shihua Hotel.

When Fu Damu learned from Tang Yifu that Yi Haitao was still going to send Chu Tianshu, he once summoned Tao Yuming and others to conduct serious research in this secret room.

There were two opinions.

Bai Cunli believes that a strategy of mitigation should be adopted, first pretending to actively support and defend Chu Tianshu, and then creating some difficulties for him to retreat, in order to get out quickly, he will naturally recommend Fu Damu to take over the position of secretary. In this way, it is safer to alleviate the contradictions within the county and the city.

Because the two secretaries have been driven away before, and the third secretary Ma Xingwang died unexplained, it would be too risky to do that again. Although there is no handle in the hands of others, it is clear that the city has an opinion about them.

Although Tang Yifu in the city supports them, the mayor doesn't care about people, and people are under the control of the secretary of the municipal party committee, Chu Tianshu is Yi Haitao's cronies, and he has gone too far, which angered Yi Haitao, and if he really removes the county magistrate, or exchanges him to other places, it will not be easy to do, and it may lead to a big disaster.

Tao Yuming believes that it is better to do the past, and although it makes sense to ease it, it is not a good policy. Because the newcomer Chu Tianshu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, once he has a firm foothold, he is likely to take them as the object of rectification, and it is impractical to ask him to recommend Fu Damu as secretary.

Now that we have come to this point, we can only advance, not retreat. No matter what the city thinks, there must be evidence to be established, and fear is useless.

Bai Cunli's opinion was supported by Peng Baoluan, Xue Jinlong did not express his position, Tao Yuming and Bai Cunli could not argue, Fu Damu couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to decide: Let's talk about it later, let's see.

Therefore, he arranged for Xue Jinlong to pay close attention to every move in the secretary's office, and placed Tian Keming in the guest house to monitor Chu Tianshu for eight hours, and continued to let Liu Qingyan follow the new secretary, adopting a strategy of static braking.

On the day Chu Tianshu arrived, just in time for Ma Xingwang's funeral, Fu Damu took Tao Yuming to the funeral, deliberately not to greet him, wanting to make Chu Tianshu a little ugly, but he didn't expect it to be resolved by him one by one, and he also made Fu Damu and Tao Yuming lose face.

Therefore, in the past few days, Fu Damu has been staying at the Shihua Hotel all day long, watching the movements, listening to information, and studying the countermeasures that need to be taken.

He didn't have the heart to work in the office, nor did he want to go home, because whether he was in the office or at home, he couldn't calm down and think.

A few days ago, these people had been to Fu Damu's office and home. At that time, they all said that he was going to be a secretary and a county magistrate, congratulated him in advance, said that it should have been like this a long time ago, and said how he had a level and how he could do it, and the atmosphere could be described as warm.

A few days later, these were the same people, speaking in an octave lower, crying instead of smiling, and the atmosphere was low, sad, and depressing, which made him more and more annoyed the more he listened. He really wanted to keep them out, or get them out of the city. But you can't do that.

Although they are not his iron brothers, they are his people after all.

But the words of these people are really useless to him. He felt he had to come up with an idea for the situation as soon as possible. There was no choice but to leave the office and home, and calm down in the county magistrate's suite at the Shihua Hotel to think about countermeasures.

Fu Damu first thought about his impression of Chu Tianshu.

He knew Chu Tianshu before, and he had some contact when he went to ask Yi Haitao for poverty alleviation funds.

Every time he went, Chu Tianshu was busy serving tea and giving up his seat, which was quite affectionate and gentle.

At that time, Fu Damu felt that Chu Tianshu was a very ordinary person, no different from an ordinary leader secretary, he smiled at the leader and nodded, carrying his bag and following behind Yi Haitao with little speech, looking like he lacked both the temperament and ambition of being a leader, and the depth and level of being a leader.

Now that he looked at Chu Tianshu again, he felt that the situation was very different.

Whether it is the look in his eyes, or the feeling of shaking hands with him, and every move when talking to him, every word and deed, it is completely different, and even his smile is unbelievably weird. Moreover, Chu Tianshu seemed to have become deep all of a sudden, and his speech was always inducing, exuding a kind of confidence and perseverance.

Of course, this is understandable, Chu Tianshu is still very young, and he can climb to the height of the secretary of the county party committee, and he must want to do a big job, create a situation, establish political achievements, and seek higher development.

Fu Damu believes that his mentality determines that he will not maintain the existing situation and will not be at their mercy. And, on the contrary, once he has established himself, he must cut at them. This is the only way for him to curry favor with the municipal party committee and establish his political achievements.

One big difference, one way to go.

Taken together, these two made Fu Damu completely negate the idea of moderation for survival and development.

"You have to do it-for-tat! Don't have any illusions! Thinking of this, Fu Damu jumped up from the sofa and blurted out.

That night, the secret meeting convened by Fu Damu lasted until two o'clock in the evening.

A total of five people attended the meeting: Fu Damu, Tao Yuming, Bai Cunli and Xue Jinlong.

In the past, such a meeting should have been held by Finance Secretary Peng Baoluan.

This time, because Fu Damu was dissatisfied with him, he didn't let Xue Jinlong inform him, but temporarily summoned Tian Keming, who knew Chu Tianshu better.

The place where the meeting took place was the old place that Fu Damu said, which was the secret room of "Nanling Scenery".

It's a secluded place that's safe and secure, and there's no problem with eavesdropping.

After Fu Damu finished dinner, he came directly from the secret passage of the Shihua Hotel.

The other four gathered here at ten o'clock.

At this time, the people in the county town are generally resting, and the people who are active in the clubhouse are in a state, and there will be no work to disturb them, and the noise outside can provide them with cover.

Tao Yuming When they came, they all walked through a small door at the back of the clubhouse.

This small door is specially set up in the clubhouse, and in case of emergencies, it can be used for guests to retreat and escape, and only a very small number of high-level people in the clubhouse know about it.

Tian Keming came to this secret room for the first time, and only glanced at it casually, and was stunned by the structure and decoration of the room.

To say, he has also entered some luxurious places as the director of the SASAC, but compared with this secret room, it still seems to be a lot inferior.

The windows around the room are hung with thick curtains, and the sound from the outside is isolated, and if you don't listen carefully, even the sound of the air conditioner is hard to hear.

Fu Damu lost his temper as soon as he saw Tao Yuming come in, and reprimanded: "Old Tao, how did you explain to your sister-in-law, where did half of her ass sit?" ”

Tao Yuming knew that Fu Damu was angry because Liu Qingyan and Chu Tianshu were too close, and quickly explained with a smile: "Boss, don't be angry, my sister-in-law has a weird temper, and I can't do anything about her." Besides, I explained to her that she should show a positive attitude and be obedient and obedient to Chu Tianshu's arrangement in order to win his trust. This was originally a strategy that we had in mind. ”

Fu Damu put the teacup on the coffee table, and said angrily: "What strategy is not strategy, you don't use bullshit strategies to defend your sister-in-law." You go and ask her, does she know what we are doing by putting her next to Chu Tianshu? ”

Tao Yuming was originally a rough person, and he was trained by Fu Damu so headlessly, and he couldn't hold back the fire in his heart, he said with a red head and a swollen face: "County magistrate, according to what you say, it seems that I instructed her to be a traitor?" ”

"I think it's pretty much the same!" Fu Damu was furious when he thought of Liu Qingyan's obsession with Chu Tianshu, and seeing that Tao Yuming was still defending his sister-in-law, he added fuel to the fire.

"Boss, what are you calling me for? I'll just go. Tao Yuming said that he was angry, stood up and walked out.

Bai Cunli and Xue Jinlong hurriedly pulled him down.

Fu Damu roared angrily: "If you let him go, it's a big deal that everyone will die together!" ”

Bai Cunli forcibly grabbed Tao Yuming and persuaded: "Old Tao, what are you doing here?" Can't you say less? Can't you be self-critical? In today's situation, the big county magistrate is not happy, and he will be pulled down after a few words. ”

Tao Yuming saw that Fu Damu was really angry, and his heart was empty, and his steps stopped.

Xue Jinlong saw that Bai Cunli was not strong and walked out, ran to Fu Damu, and also persuaded: "The county magistrate, you extinguish the fire, Lao Tao also has his difficulties, and the sister-in-law's ass is crooked, and her heart is definitely not happy." ”

Bai Cunli continued to talk to the mud and said, "Yes, yes." When has this been, isn't the fighting spirit between our brothers just taking advantage of Chu Tianshu's heart?

After some persuasion from Bai Cunli and Xue Jinlong, Fu Damu and Tao Yuming's fire slowly went out.

What Fu Damu wants is this effect, Tao Yuming must be made to feel the pressure, otherwise, they will not attract enough attention, especially Tao Yuming, who is simple and rude, if he doesn't bluff first, it will be bad if he doesn't do it well.

Fu Damu grabbed the cigarette case on the coffee table and threw one to Tao Yuming, and Xue Jinlong hurriedly helped the two of them light it.

Bai Cunli stabbed Tao Yuming.

Tao Yuming sat back on the sofa and smoked a cigarette in a puff.
