When he came out of Secretary Lu's office, the news, and he must have been very anxious, so he asked Xia Chuchu to send him to the hotel, and made an appointment with her to go to Secretary Li's house for dinner at half past eleven, and waved goodbye to her.

As Ye Ming expected, Wang Xiuguang, who was waiting for Ye Ming to come back in the hotel room at this time, was in a state of anxiety.

It turned out that after Ye Ming left the hotel to go to Secretary Lu, Wang Xiuguang felt that this matter was still a bit unreliable: according to his careful inquiry about Ye Ming last night, the relationship between him and Secretary Lu was only met at the Provincial Commendation Conference for Advanced Individuals for Righteousness and Courage, and later Secretary Lu went to Zijiang, Xinleng and other places to investigate, and rested at Ye Ming's house for a night. Although Secretary Lu had a very good impression of Ye Ming, the two of them had talked many times. But, after all, they've only met twice. With such an exchange experience, it is impossible for Ye Ming to become a cronie or cultivation object in Secretary Lu's mind at present, at most, Secretary Lu has this idea.

Therefore, although today Secretary Lu personally invited Ye Ming to his office for tea and chatting. However, if Ye Ming dared to talk to him about the topic of his mayor, and spoke out to defend himself, with Secretary Lu's rank and character, he was afraid that he would immediately become disgusted with Ye Ming: a small deputy director of the tax bureau, relying on the acquaintance with the secretary of the provincial party committee, dared to go to him to intercede for the mayor of a prefecture-level city, isn't this arrogant and self-sufficient?

And once Secretary Lu has this kind of thought, not only will Ye Ming be immediately abandoned by him from his field of vision, and he will not be taken care of from now on, but also he, the one who asks for delay, is afraid that he will also be unlucky, will be criticized more severely by Secretary Lu, and will suffer a worse end than now......

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Wang Xiuguang felt that the sweat on his forehead was dripping down, and he began to regret in his heart that he was not thoughtful, and that it was too simple to consider the problem, and regretted that he should not let Ye Ming talk to Secretary Lu directly about his own affairs......

In order to calm his anxiety and to find out the current views and arrangements of the provincial party committee, he called Liang Lunjiang, executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the provincial party committee.

Liang Lunjiang and Wang Xiuguang once studied together in the party school, and they were still in the same class, and the relationship between the two was very good. Wang Xiuguang obtained a lot of information about cadre adjustments and personnel changes within the provincial party committee through Liang Lunjiang in advance.

After the phone was connected, Wang Xiuguang first tried his best to pretend to be very peaceful, happily chatted with him on a few irrelevant topics, and told him that he had come to the provincial capital, asked him when he was free, and wanted to invite him to get together and have a glass of wine together.

Liang Lunjiang seemed to be a little preoccupied, and absentmindedly said a few perfunctory words to him, and then asked bluntly: "Xiuguang, how did you offend the new Secretary Lu?" I heard Minister Xie say that Secretary Lu has a great prejudice against you, and once criticized you by name at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. As far as I know, since Secretary Lu was transferred to Tianjiang, you are the first person to criticize by name at the Standing Committee or in other public places. What is the reason for this? ”

Wang Xiuguang's heart tightened, smiled bitterly, and said: "Minister Liang, this matter cannot be explained in one or two sentences, the situation inside is very complicated, even I don't know why Secretary Lu is so angry about such a trivial matter, and the platform has reached the point where my style is vain and bureaucratic is serious." We have also been good friends for many years, and now I just want to ask: Does the provincial party committee have any arrangements for me in this major adjustment of the prefectural and municipal teams? Don't worry, just say it, I'm mentally prepared. As long as it's not a murder and jail time, I don't care what the outcome is! ”

Although he said this, his heart was actually so nervous, like a sinner who had committed a great crime waiting for the judge's final verdict in the courtroom, and even his breathing was much heavier.

Liang Lunjiang was silent for a while, and then said carefully: "Xiuguang, what I said below is just hearsay, I hope you don't take it too seriously: According to the information I received, the provincial party committee is very dissatisfied with the disunity of your team in K City this time, and only one can be left between you and Secretary Qingtao in K City." The main leaders of the provincial party committee mean that Qingtao will continue to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee, and you are likely to be transferred to the provincial cultural department as deputy director. ”

When Wang Xiuguang heard the words "deputy director of the Department of Culture", he only felt a "buzz" in his head, his body shook a few times, and he almost fainted: he was a mayor at the department level, and he was transferred to the Qingshui Yamen of the Cultural Department, and he could only serve as a deputy position......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment in his heart, and asked, "Minister Liang, what is the attitude of Secretary General Wang and Minister Xie?" I received such an unfair treatment, and the two leaders did not have any sympathy? ”

In his mind, he should be regarded as a person in the Iron Triangle camp of Qin Ge, Wang Hai, and Xie Hongda, and now that he is in trouble, they should always pull themselves!

Liang Lunjiang smiled bitterly and said, "Xiuguang, Minister Xie and Secretary General Wang must want to speak for you." But the problem is that the main leaders of the provincial party committee have opinions and opinions on you. He is now new to Tianjiang, and he has a very tough backer and backstage on it. If, for the first time, Minister Wang and the others raised objections to the appointment and dismissal of personnel, it would have been easy for them to make their contradictions public. In that case, once the above knows, they will think that Governor Qin is holding a gang to squeeze out the new Secretary Lu, in that case, Governor Qin and they will face a lot of trouble. So, there's a compromise process here, and there's also a balance issue. To put it bluntly, you are a victim of this compromise and balance. Therefore, if you want to save yourself now, the only way is to find a way to catch the line of Secretary Lu or Secretary Li Runji. The so-called bell must be tied to the bell person, this is the truth! ”

After listening to Liang Lunjiang's analysis, Wang Xiuguang only felt a sense of despair permeating his heart, and for a moment he had a feeling of despair: he didn't expect that he had followed Wang Hai, Xie Hongda and others for so many years, but in the end he became a victim of their struggle and balance. Although, he also knows: there are no eternal friends in officialdom, only eternal interests. However, this kind of indifference and ruthlessness still made it difficult for him to accept for a while......

After hanging up Liang Lunjiang's phone, Wang Xiuguang sat down on the sofa in the guest room, his hands on his head, and fell into a trance of resentment and sadness.

At this moment, the doorbell rang "beeping bell", only to hear Ye Ming shouting outside: "Mayor Wang, please open the door, I am Ye Ming!" ”
