Liu Chongtian rushed to the orthopedic ward of the provincial hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, and it was already more than ten o'clock at night. Zou Yueru, who had a plaster cast on her arm, fell asleep, sleeping quite peacefully, and there was not much pain on her expression. A touch of moonlight through the window quietly cast on Zou Yueru's dignified face, reflecting Zou Yueru like a sleeping beauty. Yes, Sleeping Beauty, Liu Chongtian thought, only when she sleeps in bed and can't see her crippled legs, her wife is beautiful. When this thought came to mind, Liu Chongtian's nose couldn't help but feel sour. After staring at his wife for a long time, Liu Chongtian pulled the nanny Chen Duanyang and left the ward silently. Chen Duanyang walked out of the door of the ward, and said with tears in his eyes: "The eldest sister fell and broke her arm, all of which were caused by the massage chair!" ”

Liu Chongtian felt very strange, looked at Chen Duanyang and asked suspiciously, "What massage chair?" Where did it come from? ”

Chen Duanyang wiped his tears and said: "It was sent by Secretary Qi of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee two days ago, and the eldest sister liked it very much, when I went to the computer class, she got up by herself to get a massage, and fell to the ground." Big brother, hurry up and return the massage chair to Secretary Qi, I don't think he's happy! ”

This is something Liu Chongtian didn't expect, Liu Chongtian didn't expect to send a massage chair to the complete event of resting in the provincial capital, nor did he expect his wife to break her arm because of this massage chair, and he really didn't feel good for a while. But calm down and think about it, no matter what you say, Quansheng is well-intentioned, and he will never deliberately use this massage chair to harm Zou Yueru. So, he angrily reproached Chen Duanyang and said, "Duanyang, what nonsense are you talking about? Why is Secretary Qi not well-intentioned? I think you're irresponsible! You stay by the side of the eldest sister, can this happen? What kind of computer did you study? I have a secretary and a typist by my side, so I don't need your help. ”

Chen Duanyang was so aggrieved that he cried: "Yes...... It was the eldest sister who asked me to learn, and the eldest sister said that when you are with you, you have to have the ability. ”

Liu Chongtian was stunned for a moment: "But you are a nanny, it is your duty to take care of the eldest sister!" ”

Chen Duanyang fluttered his eyelashes with tears and looked at Liu Chongtian: "Can I be a nanny forever?" The eldest sister said......"

Liu Chongtian knew Chen Duanyang's thoughts, and he also knew the secret in his wife's heart, he was really afraid that Chen Duanyang would say something inappropriate in such a public occasion, so he hurriedly interrupted Chen Duanyang's words: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this; Tell me, who arranged for you to come here? How did you come to the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine? Your eldest sister's designated hospital is not here, it's a provincial-level hospital! ”

Chen Duanyang said: "It was arranged by Li Shiyan, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he said that the orthopedics here are good. ”

Liu Chongtian was a little strange: "How did Secretary Li Shiyan know about this?" Who told him? ”

Chen Duanyang looked like a family member: "Do you still need to ask?" It's not like I just came here five years ago, I don't understand anything! I called Secretary Li, you are not at home, and when you encounter such a thing, I can only find the leader of your unit. The eldest sister was so hurt that she burst into tears, and she was not allowed to scream, I didn't listen to the eldest sister. Secretary Li is really good, after answering my call, he immediately brought someone over, and called an ambulance, and did everything for us! Oh, by the way, Secretary Li said, I want you to call him when you come back. ”

Liu Chongtian couldn't cry or laugh, and pointed his finger at Chen Duanyang's forehead: "Duanyang, you really have the ability, our family's private affairs, you dare to trouble Secretary Li, you know how busy Secretary Li is!" As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called Li Shiyan.

Li Shiyan asked on the phone: "How is it, Chongtian, have you gone to the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine?" ”

Liu Chongtian said: "Just arrived, Comrade Shiyan, thank you, you have arranged everything, I knew that I would not come back because of this." ”

Li Shiyan said: "How can you not come back? Now that I'm back, let's rest for a few days and accompany Comrade Yueru. ”

Liu Chongtian said: "I'm afraid that Jingzhou can't do without people, and I have to report some situations to you in person." ”

Li Shiyan said: "I'm also looking for you," he hesitated for a moment, "That's it, you wait in the hospital, I'll go over immediately." ”

Liu Chongtian instinctively felt that something was wrong: why was Li Shiyan in such a hurry to come over? Obviously, he didn't care about Zou Yueru,—— Zou Yueru's treatment has ended, at least there is no need to rush over now. Li Shiyan is probably "caring" about him, and it is likely that the things he wants to talk about are related to him. I don't know how the investigation on the third side of the provincial prison has been going in the past two days? Could something damn happen to him again? I can't say, but it turns out that some people just want to kill him and then hurry up.

When waiting for Li Shiyan, the female dean on duty came over and told Liu Chongtian about the treatment of Zou Yueru, and counted Liu Chongtian down, blaming Liu Chongtian for being too careless, and his wife was in such a situation, and she didn't go home all day long. Liu Chongtian smiled bitterly, but he didn't say anything to the female dean, so he had to nod his head again and again. After the female dean left, Liu Chongtian's heart was unbearable, and tears couldn't help falling, and he didn't even notice it.

Chen Duanyang was a little surprised: "Big brother, you ...... Why are you crying? ”

Liu Chongtian wiped the tears from his face and covered up: "Duanyang, you really don't give me peace of mind!" ”

Chen Duanyang admitted: "Big brother, it's my fault, you can deduct my salary this month!" ”

Liu Chongtian said: "Forget it, forget it, what problem can be solved by deducting your salary?" Pay attention in the future, before I come back from Jingzhou, don't go to the computer class, I must take care of the eldest sister, so that I can work and handle cases with peace of mind! Suddenly thought about it, "Duanyang, I went to their county party committee to deal with the problem of the peasants' burden that your father reflected, and the county party committee attaches great importance to it, and it is estimated that it has been dealt with." ”

Chen Duanyang was happy: "Big brother, I was about to tell you that the secretary of the township chief came to our house to apologize, and returned 1,300 yuan, which was brought by the deputy county magistrate." The township chief and secretary have been trained by the county, and they all said, let my father come to them directly if he has something in the future, and don't look for you again. My dad called me yesterday and asked me to thank you! ”

Liu Chongtian said nonchalantly: "Thank you? Isn't that what to do? Say hello to your father on my behalf! ”

Just as he was saying this, Li Shiyan's secretary came over from afar, saying that Li Shiyan had arrived and was waiting for him upstairs.

Liu Chongtian went upstairs with his secretary and met Li Shiyan in a simple small conference room on the third floor.

Li Shiyan also looked very tired, the wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes seemed to be much deeper, his eyes were blood-red, obviously he didn't get enough sleep, and his voice was hoarse, it seemed that the past two days were not easier than him. Li Shiyan made a relaxed appearance, first talked about the arrangement and handling of Zou Yueru tonight, and praised Chen Duanyang, saying that this little nanny in his family is not simple, she is very smart, and she knows how to find an organization in case of trouble. Then, he asked about the progress of the case in Jingzhou, especially mentioning the stock speculation.

Liu Chongtian reported to Li Shiyan: "Comrade Shiyan, the fame in this stock speculation seems to be very big, and it is preliminarily estimated that Bai Keshu and his gang opened a rat warehouse, causing the Blue Sky Group to lose more than 730 million yuan, and the specific situation Chen Liren and they are working overtime to check the mile!" ”

Li Shiyan said: "It must be found out, how did the Blue Sky Group compensate, and how did Gao Yaju and those officials, wives and young masters make a fortune?" Gao Yaju really didn't know the inside story, or were they involved in it and deliberately committed securities crimes? ”

Liu Chongtian thought for a while: "I can't make a final judgment now, after all, I'm still investigating!" However, the case investigation of Gao Yaju is basically over, and the problem is relatively clear: Gao Yaju knows nothing about securities, let alone a rat warehouse, Bai Keshu makes a phone call, let her buy it, and she sells it, so she thinks that the 2.3 million yuan is her legal profit. ”

Li Shiyan seemed to have everything, "hummed", and sighed: "Gao Yaju's profit is really 'legitimate', ah?" The concern and care of Bai Keshu and these corrupt elements for our leading comrades is really unimaginable! ”

Liu Chongtian became indignant: "It's not just a Gao Yaju, it is estimated that this is also the case with several other official wives and young masters, and their profits may also be 'legal', and it was Bai Keshu and his gang who helped them snatch them from the stock market by legal means." The risk of the stock market was borne by Blue Sky Group, but the risk-free profits fell into the hands of Gao Yaju and these official wives! This is a new situation that we have not encountered in the past, Bai Keshu and they have done a wonderful job, so that many of our leading cadres' families have become rich legally without touching their hands! ”

Li Shiyan said angrily: "If this is the case, then all these so-called legal profits should be recovered!" ”

Liu Chongtian was embarrassed and said: "Comrade Shiyan, there is no precedent for confiscating profits from stock speculation in our legal practice!" ”

Li Shiyan waved his hand: "Isn't there no precedent for this form of corruption!" Let's do it, I'm responsible for mistakes! ”

Liu Chongtian sighed: "Okay! After pondering for a while, he said, "Comrade Shiyan, Gao Yaju's problem has been clarified, except for the unjust enrichment of stock speculation and the ring given by Bai Keshu, I haven't found any other problems, do you think you should lift the shuanggui as soon as possible?" ”

Li Shiyan smiled inexplicably and asked, "Oh? Chongtian, were you bought by the massage chair in Quansheng? ”

Liu Chongtian didn't think about returning the massage chair to Quansheng, but when he heard Li Shiyan say this, he was alert, and reluctantly smiled: "Comrade Shiyan, what are you kidding?" Lao Qi can buy me with a massage chair? I just learned about this from the nanny Chen Duanyang, and I was saying that I was going to go back! ”

Li Shiyan said again: "It's your business whether to retreat or not,—— if you ask for my opinion, I will advise you not to retreat, Lao Qi is also kind!" Besides, this was also paid out of the subsidy that Comrade Yueru should have in recent years, and there was no violation of any regulations. ”

Liu Chongtian understood in his heart, and forced a smile and said: "Comrade Shiyan, I think it's better to retreat, so as not to make people suspect that I have reached a compromise with Comrade Quan Sheng, and it is not good to express my opinions on the issue of Gao Yaju fairly." ”

Li Shiyan waved his hand: "Regarding whether Gao Yaju is lifted from the double regulations, Comrade Chongtian, we had better not decide first, you don't rush to decide, I don't shoot this board, my opinion is still to be studied together and decided collectively." After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Chongtian, I won't tell you, Comrade Chen Liren came to report to me today, and his opinion is the opposite of yours, and he wants to officially arrest Gao Yaju!" ”

Liu Chongtian never expected that his old subordinate, the most trusted assistant, would report to the next level behind his back, and he was stunned all of a sudden. This problem is too serious, if someone else proposes to arrest Gao Yaju, it can be understood as a difference in work, but it is Chen Liren! What is the relationship between Chen Liren and him? What do Li Shiyan and the provincial party committee think? I can't help but doubt his position and intentions!

Li Shiyan didn't say anything about Chen Liren's report, and meaningfully informed Liu Chongtian of the investigation of the provincial third supervisor: "...... According to the alleged squadron leader Bi Chengye, someone gave him a bribe of 50,000 yuan before the crime, so that he could turn a blind eye to the behavior of the prisoner. The person who sent the money claimed to be the CEO of the 'Disaster Elimination Company'. ”

Liu Chongtian's head banged as if it was about to explode: "Who has a disaster?" Who wants to ask someone to eliminate the disaster? Looks like that's me? ”

Li Shiyan took out a photo and handed it to Liu Chongtian: "This is the CEO of the disaster elimination company for others, do you know him?" ”

Liu Chongtian looked at the fat face on the photo and shook his head: "I don't know, and I've never seen it." ”

Li Shiyan said quietly: "This person personally told the squadron leader Bi Chengye that you were his old leader, and he was very concerned about him when he was the mayor of Pinghu. Oh, this person's true identity has also been found out, his name is Wang Guochang, a demobilized soldier of the armed police force, who used to be a police officer at the Pinghu Minquan Road Police Station, and was dismissed from public office and sentenced to three years in prison on suspicion of underworld crimes seven years ago......"

Liu Chongtian couldn't listen anymore: "Okay, okay, Comrade Shiyan, don't say it anymore, anyway, I don't know this person!" ”

Li Shiyan didn't say anything, sighed, and put away the photo: "The public security department has issued a wanted warrant for Wang Guochang." ”

At this time, Liu Chongtian suddenly remembered Yang Hongzhi's description of Manager Ge of Wang Liushun's debt collection company, snatched the photo from Li Shiyan's hand and looked at it again, and reminded: "Comrade Shiyan, I remember, this person in the photo is a bit like the manager Ge of the debt collection company that Yang Hongzhi said, that is, the underworld criminal who kidnapped Yang Hongzhi, I suggest you ask Yang Hongzhi to identify it!" ”

Li Shiyan's eyes lit up obviously: "Okay, I'll send someone to Jingzhou early tomorrow morning." ”

Liu Chongtian sarcastically suggested: "Comrade Shiyan, I think it's best for you to go in person, since Comrade Chen Liren is willing to seek the near and far and report directly to you, there is no need for me, the leader of the task force, to go down again, you can take over the leader of the task force." ”

Li Shiyan was stunned for a moment: "Chongtian, what do you mean by this?" Comrade Bingyi and I never thought of removing you as the leader of the task force! I'm talking to you openly and honestly today, or out of trust in you! You have to get it right! I understand Comrade Liren, you know better, he is your old subordinate, it is impossible for you to make any small moves, I think Comrade Liren is still out of public intentions! ”

Liu Chongtian was speechless and smiled bitterly: "Okay, good, Comrade Shiyan, I won't say anything, take the initiative to avoid it!" ”

Li Shiyan thought about it for a while, and said very earnestly: "Chongtian, it's okay if you take the initiative to avoid it, even if you don't have these troubles, I have to let you rest, looking at the situation at your home, I can't bear it!" You can rest in peace for a few days! ”

Liu Chongtian looked at Li Shiyan coldly, but asked again: "Comrade Shiyan, is this an order?" ”

Li Shiyan shook his head: "No, no, Chongtian, this is a suggestion, you can listen to it or not!" ”

Liu Chongtian felt very uncomfortable, turned his head and left: "Okay, I accept your valuable suggestion!" ”

went downstairs and came to Zou Yueru's ward, Liu Chongtian gradually calmed down and asked Chen Duanyang to go home and accompany him.

Chen Duanyang didn't want to go, but asked Liu Chongtian to go back and get a good night's sleep, saying that the eldest brother's eye sockets were sunken.

Liu Chongtian was on fire: "If you are told to go, you will leave!" Call Secretary Qi tomorrow morning and return the massage chair! ”

Zou Yueru was woken up, and after learning the situation, she said, "What are you retreating?" Chongtian, can this be blamed on Secretary Qi! ”

Liu Chongtian said bitterly: "Yueru, I don't blame Secretary Qi, I can't help it, I'm afraid that people will gossip!" ”

Zou Yueru said: "What are you gossiping? You keep stiffening like this, okay? It's good for me to look at the secretary, I am in such a difficult situation, and I haven't forgotten that I am a disabled person. Heavy sky, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them! Besides, I also like this massage chair. ”

Liu Chongtian had no choice but to change his words: "Then let's do it, leave the massage chair, return the money to Secretary Qi, and let him return it to the municipal party committee!" ”

Zou Yueru's face was helpless: "Chongtian, can you think about this matter again?" Stop exacerbating the contradictions. ”

Liu Chongtian forced a happy face: "Okay, good, Yueru, don't talk about these unpleasant things, let's talk about some pleasant things!" I'll tell you: I talked to Comrade Shiyan just now, please take a few days off, and I'm ready to accompany you......"

Zou Yueru didn't believe it at all: "Secretary Liu, you will let go of such important anti-corruption work?" ”

Liu Chongtian said with a smile: "Who doesn't turn the earth when it leaves?" I'm resting, Shiyan and his comrades won't rest! ”

Zou Yueru smiled sadly: "Chongtian, don't hide it from me, did you encounter something annoying?" ”

Liu Chongtian was still laughing: "Trouble? Still annoying? What bothering me will I have? Don't speculate. ”

Crystal tears overflowed in Zou Yueru's eyes: "Chongtian, I know, I know, but I don't dare to ask you." Lao Qi told me on the day he sent the massage chair, and now the situation in Jingzhou is very complicated, and the development of the situation is unexpected, and it is no longer for him and you to grasp. Lao Qi said that he was in a catastrophe, and he might be hit by an arrow, and you and Jingzhou were inseparable, and he could also be hit by an arrow, right? ”

Liu Chongtian was stunned, and sighed ominously: "It seems that Lao Qi has a lot of experience in political struggle!" ”

Zou Yueru cautiously suggested: "Chongtian, I think you have to find Comrade Bingyi and make a report to Comrade Bingyi." ”

Liu Chongtian thought about it, as if asking himself, and as if asking people: "Is this necessary?" ”

Zou Yueru said: "I think it's necessary, it's easy to hide from open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows!" You have to let Comrade Bingyi have a ......"

The night on Egret Island in June is soft and quiet. The lake water under the moonlight and starlight is undulating, and the painting boat and the nine-curved covered bridge in the lake are decorated with colorful lights, which is poetic and picturesque. A cool breeze swept across the lake, blowing away the heat of the whole day, blowing up the weeping willows on the shore, and sifting down pieces of moonlight rolling like broken silver, making the whole Egret Island like a fairyland in a dream.

The mood was not happy on this night on Egret Island, and when he accompanied Chen Baichuan to walk by the lake, he kept sighing.

Chen Baichuan came from Shanghai in the morning, the reception standard in the province is very high, arranged for a deputy director of the general office to take a car to Shanghai to pick up, at noon on behalf of the provincial party committee, the provincial ** to receive a banquet, in the evening the provincial party secretary Zheng Bingyi set up a family banquet to entertain, the old man was very happy. The old man's attitude and tone have changed subtly, and when he went to Ludao, he sighed with emotion to Quan Sheng, saying that Zheng Bingyi and Governor Guan were much stronger than they were back then, they were in the prime of life, full of vitality, and their work ideas were very good.

Quan Sheng Yin and Yang said strangely: "Yes, people's ideas are good, what should be knocked down must be brought down, and what should be kept must be kept!" ”

Chen Baichuan saw Quansheng's emotions, and criticized in a stern tone: "Quansheng, what are you talking about?" Yes? Listening to your tone, it seems that you have been wronged by something, right? I don't think you have anything to be wronged about! Is it a fact that a high-rise building was built and a group of cadres fell? Who is trying to bring you down? You're the one who brought you down! There is such a big mess in Jingzhou, you are not responsible? I think you have a lot of responsibility, even if my old man is the secretary of the provincial party committee, he can't spare you! You have to be sober now, don't complain everywhere anymore, one is to correct your attitude, the second is to sum up experience, and the third is to redeem the impact, there is nothing to say! ”

Quan Sheng changed his words at this time: "Yes, Old Chen, I said this when I went to Beijing, I want to reflect and review!" ”

Chen Baichuan softened his tone: "Of course, I also have to summarize and reflect. When I met Comrade Bingyi this afternoon, I will review the issue of disunity between you and Comrade Chongtian seven years ago. I said to Comrade Bingyi, maybe I, the provincial party committee at that time, made a wrong decision, and I should not transfer Comrade Chongtian away, let alone give you any absolute power! Power is relative, how can there be absolute? Absolutely, something is going to go wrong! We Communists talk about materialism, dialectics, and relativity, so where does absolute theory come from? Yes? What's more, our power comes from the people, and absolute power makes no sense. ”

Quan Sheng was very knowledgeable: "Old Chen, the problem in Jingzhou is completely my problem, and it has nothing to do with your old secretary." ”

Chen Baichuan stood down by the lake, looked at the lake and said, "Why is it okay?" You are a cadre I used when I presided over the work of the provincial party committee, and you have done a good job, lived up to the expectations of the people and the party, and made great contributions to our reform cause, which shows that I and the provincial party committee have used the right people, done our best, and fulfilled our duties; If you don't do a good job and something goes wrong, I will not escape the blame if I neglect to supervise, even if I go to see Comrade Xiaoping after a hundred years, I must also do a deep examination of Comrade Xiaoping! After a pause, he added, "Comrade Quansheng, what about you?" Have you had a problem with oversights over the years? How did Bai Keshu and Lin Yida come up? I think you're dazed! ”

Quan Sheng broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately reviewed: "Yes, yes, Old Chen, I may be really dizzy!" During this time, I also reflected, what is going on? How did you get caught in it? It's the wrong person, just seeing that Bai Keshu is capable, Lin Yida is obedient, and he can't listen to different opinions, and he has become the master of the hall, causing a big mess and living up to your expectations! ”

Chen Baichuan waved his hand: "It's not me, Comrade Quansheng, you have failed the expectations of the people and the party, and you have embarrassed me!" ”

Quansheng didn't dare to say any more. As soon as the Jingzhou corruption case came out, he really embarrassed the old leader Chen Baichuan, and the last time he took Li Qichang to Beijing to complain for help, he was scolded by the old man. This time he went to Shanghai for a meeting, and the old man still came to visit him, not only to show Zheng Bingyi and the current provincial party committee, but also to do work for him, he knows. Chen Baichuan is still the same Chen Baichuan in the past, and in order to cultivate the love of the general, he even did not hesitate to compromise and ask Zheng Bingyi for review.

Therefore, Quan Sheng felt that he had figured out the way: it seems that it is not easy for Chen Baichuan to come to the provincial capital this time, and it is not simple for Zheng Bingyi and Governor Guan to receive them so warmly, and the two of them may be seeking some kind of political balance and reaching some kind of compromise.

Sure enough, after the severe criticism, Chen Baichuan's tone changed, he looked up at the starry sky, and said slowly: "Today, I said to Comrade Bingyi and Governor Guan: After 22 years of reform and opening up, whether it is Jingzhou or the whole province and the whole country, the general situation is similar, the achievements are great, there are many problems, and the prominent problem is the corruption of the cadre ranks. Therefore, it is really too timely and too important to put forward the 'three represents' to the whole party at this time. Therefore, we must be sober-minded and unswervingly represent the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people at all times and under all circumstances. Therefore, corruption must be opposed, and if it is not, it will lose the support of the people, and it will destroy the party and the country! After a pause, he added, "But it can't be absolute, you can't be full of corruption and you can't see achievements!" Take our Jingzhou as an example, the problem of corruption is very serious, and the achievements are not small, and high-rise buildings are always rising, the economy is always going up, and the people's living standards are always improving! As for the cadre team, on the whole, it is still good, including you are all prosperous, and you can still bet your life to carry out reforms, the historical contribution is not small, and the people are basically still satisfied! This is a basic judgment, and Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee also agree with this basic judgment! ”

Quansheng's speculation has been preliminarily verified, his heart is hot, and he responds again and again: "Yes, yes, Chen Lao, the brilliant achievements of Jingzhou are clearly there, as long as you don't have ulterior motives, as long as you talk about dialectics, it is impossible to make other judgments!" ”

Chen Baichuan left the shore of the lake and continued to walk forward, saying as he walked: "Even if some people have ulterior motives, don't be afraid, justice is in the hearts of the people, and the people have rods and scales in their hearts!" How well have we comrades done in the past 22 years, the common people will give us a fair evaluation, and history will give us a fair evaluation! Suddenly changed the topic, "Quansheng, when I visited Jingzhou nine years ago, I spoke once, I don't know if you remember?" Oh, as a reminder, it was the speech shortly after the death of Comrade Bu Zhengjun. ”

Quan Sheng said with affectionate memories: "Old Chen, how dare I forget this? You said at the meeting of party and government cadres in Jingzhou City: It is allowed to make mistakes, and it is not allowed not to reform! You said that although Bu Zhengjun made serious mistakes, he was still a good comrade! You also said that reform is exploration, and exploration cannot be without mistakes, and if there are mistakes, they must be corrected and dealt with, that is, leaders who make wrong decisions must make personal sacrifices and must be treated correctly. In the past war years, we buried the corpses of our comrades and marched forward on the traces of comrades' blood, and today's reform and opening up must also have this kind of fearless spirit! ”

Chen Baichuan looked at Quansheng and said seriously: "Quansheng, it was Bu Zhengjun nine years ago, and today it's your turn, my attitude has not changed, it is still the view of nine years ago: mistakes are allowed, and no reform is allowed!" There is such a big corruption case in Jingzhou, you are the secretary of the municipal party committee, the mistake is not small, the responsibility is not small, the account should be recognized, the inspection should be checked, don't fight with Comrade Bingyi anymore! You don't have emotions, don't think that you are financially fine, just be upright, just be rash, this is not a responsible attitude, nor is it the attitude that a municipal party secretary should have! No matter how difficult the situation is, the work of Jingzhou cannot be relaxed, and the responsibility must be borne, as long as the provincial party committee does not transfer your work for a day, you must persist for a day, and you must wipe the blood stains in your heart and continue to move forward! ”

Quansheng's blood surged to the top of his head at once: "Old secretary, I'...... I assure you! ”

Chen Baichuan was also emotional, took Quansheng's hand, and said: "Even if you fall, you have to be like Bu Zhengjun!" Reform and opening up is the most successful work of our generation of communists, and it has condensed ...... It embodies the hard work and dreams of our nation! ”

Quansheng's eyes were red: "Old Chen, I'm ...... I understood, first do an inspection with the provincial party committee, and strive to return to Jingzhou to work as soon as possible. ”

Chen Baichuan smiled with satisfaction, gently patted the back of Quansheng's hand and said: "You comrade has a lot of numbers in his heart, and I think he is also very political, that's right!" I also said to Comrade Bingyi very seriously, if there is conclusive evidence that you have a direct relationship with the Jingzhou corruption case, you are welcome to be subject to shuanggui; If not, let you go back to Jingzhou to work as soon as possible, don't hang here. What is hanging here? Yes? Not only can you not have a good rest, but you also have resistance, and it will also affect the work of Jingzhou. ”

Quan Sheng said indignantly: "Besides, the Central Organization Department and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also do not have such regulations on compulsory rest!" ”

Chen Baichuan glanced at Quan Sheng unhappily: "Look, the resistance is coming up again, right?" Can't you think about the good? I think this is a special protective measure taken by the Provincial Party Committee and Comrade Bingyi for you, which is too polite! If it's me, I'll discipline you first! ”

Quan Sheng was stunned for a moment, and didn't dare to make a sound,—— this old man might really do this when he was in power.

Chen Baichuan continued according to his own train of thought: "...... The WTO is just around the corner, and when I held a national ***** in Beijing a few days ago, I learned that the entry into the WTO by the end of this year is a foregone conclusion. Jingzhou's pace towards the world cannot be stopped, let alone chaotic. Comrade Bingyi and Governor Guan said that we should take your four famous brand clothing in Jingzhou as the leader, and first make a grand slam in the field of clothing and textiles. The automobile industry should have a big move, to integrate, small and not at all, the province's five automobile manufacturing enterprises to retain at most one, your blue sky group that makes blue sky cars can be retained? To fight for. After all, Blue Sky is the first automobile manufacturing enterprise in my province, when the vehicle production line was completed, I went to cut the ribbon, and it was very brilliant back then! ”

Quansheng hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, the Blue Sky Group is now hollowed out by Bai Keshu's moths." ”

Chen Baichuan waved his hand: "Then give up and let other automobile manufacturing enterprises in the province merge, and do not engage in local protectionism." In a word, we must seize the opportunity of the WTO, change our functions as soon as possible, and strive to achieve a second take-off in the new century! Jingzhou has a good foundation, and it is still necessary to walk in front of the province and the country! Comrade Bingyi also meant this, and also agreed on behalf of the provincial party committee, saying that he would make a decision as soon as possible and let you go back to work. ”

Quan Sheng nodded: "Okay, okay, old secretary, then I'll wait for the notice of the provincial party committee and Comrade Bingyi!" ”

Chen Baichuan inadvertently changed the topic again, and his tone was melancholy: "Quansheng, now you are not easy, Comrade Chongtian is not easy, why is the old account from seven years ago churning up again?" Yes? And it turned out at this time? What's going on? What do you make Comrade Bingyi think? Quansheng, in front of me today, please tell you the truth: Do you know about this in advance? ”

Quan Sheng couldn't help but be stunned: "Old Chen, why do you ask like that?" Did Comrade Bingyi ask you to ask me? ”

Chen Baichuan shook his head: "It has nothing to do with Comrade Bingyi, it's my old man who cares about you very much!" The contradictions between you and Chongtian, no one knows better than me, let's be honest, this is a private conversation, don't play tricks! ”

Quan Sheng said: "Old Chen, I don't play tricks with you, to be honest, I really don't know how this matter got into trouble, and it's impossible to make a name for yourself." If Comrade Bingyi asks you to ask such a question, it means that Comrade Bingyi is prejudiced against me! ”

Chen Baichuan denied again: "Don't mention Comrade Bingyi, this has nothing to do with him, it's my old man who doesn't worry about you!" ”

Quan Sheng thought for a while: "Then you can also tell me the truth, okay?" Did you reach any compromise with Comrade Bingyi? ”

Chen Baichuan's face pulled, and he asked very unceremoniously: "Comrade Quansheng, where do you want to go?" Yes? Compromise what? If you and Comrade Chongtian really have economic problems, who would dare to make this compromise? Is it me or Comrade Bingyi? What do you mean! ”

Quan Sheng said cautiously: "Elder Chen, please make it clear: Do Comrade Bingyi and the Provincial Party Committee have to protect Liu Chongtian?" ”

Chen Baichuan was very serious: "You comrade wants to be crooked again, right?" Today, I can tell you clearly: After the issue of Chongtian was revealed, Comrade Bingyi and the Provincial Party Committee attached great importance to it and took it seriously. However, the current investigation is not going well. The general manager who was sentenced to prison at that time died of illness in prison two years ago, and the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection who presided over the case suffered from Alzheimer's disease. I don't want you to answer right now, but please think about it for a few days, recall the facts clearly, and take the initiative to write a detailed written report to Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee. ”

Quan Sheng responded: "Okay, I'll remember it first!" It's been so many years ago, who still remembers! ”

Chen Baichuan glanced at Quansheng: "What?" Doesn't that seem reluctant? Quansheng, don't be mistaken, don't think that I and the provincial party committee supported you seven years ago, and we will support you everywhere and everything unprincipledly! Today, everything has passed, and I can tell you: When I was studying the Jingzhou team, I also considered transferring you and letting Comrade Chongtian be the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee. Comrade Chongtian has been the mayor of Pinghu for four years, and he has a very good set of economic skills, and this consideration is also reasonable. In the end, the Standing Committee members discussed and believed that you are an old comrade in Jingzhou, and it may be more advantageous to keep you, which is why today's situation has been achieved. Speaking of this, he mentioned Liu Chongtian's question in an accentuated tone, "In my impression, Comrade Chongtian is not a corrupt official!" You reported at the time, didn't you also say that it was his secretary Qi Universe who committed the crime under his banner? Comrade Quansheng, you must seek truth from facts and not be emotional! ”

Quan Sheng said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Old Chen, then you instruct, I will write whatever you ask me to write!" ”

Chen Baichuan didn't have the heart to joke, and waved his hand: "Don't give me this set, I said it very clearly, that is, seek truth from facts, you are all done!" With a sigh, he said emotionally, "Do you know, now there are indeed people who are engaged in Comrade Chongtian's small actions, and their methods are very vicious, and they have all come to our prison, and even that Qi universe has been killed!" What do you want Comrade Bingyi and Shiyan to do? Can you not seriously investigate and deal with it? Comrade Chongtian can't speak clearly now! ”

Quan Sheng had to reiterate again: "Old Chen, I assure you with my personality and party spirit, I really don't know these circumstances!" ”

Chen Baichuan nodded: "I believe this, you won't engage in this kind of conspiracy." However, in the heyday, you can't stand aside and watch the excitement at this time, or even gloat! As I said earlier, reform and opening up is the most successful work of our generation of communists, and how many comrades' painstaking efforts and dreams have been condensed! This hard work and dream, both your share and Comrade Chongtian's part, you have all paid the price for this successful work, even a heavy price! Now, you are hanging here unclearly, Chongtian's lover is paralyzed on the bed, and he himself is in this situation again! I'm so sad! How can you get to fight so endlessly? Relatives and enemies are happy! The overall situation of reform and opening up has been destroyed! Therefore, as soon as Comrade Bingyi invited me on the phone, I came. What are you here for? I'm here to do my job. You can not admit this account, do not bow this head, my old man wants to admit this account, you have to bow this head! As the former secretary of the provincial party committee, I must check the mistakes I made in office to Comrade Bingyi and Governor Guan, and I must also do a good job of you and Chongtian. ”

Quansheng's heart was shocked, he took Chen Baichuan's hand, and said again and again: "Old Chen, I know, I know!" ”

Chen Baichuan was excited: "We are all communists, and communists must stress party spirit, principles, and political morality. What's there to worry about? What's more, these grievances are still generated in the work, you should be strict with yourself, lenient with others, you should see each other with a smile and hatred! For the sake of the interests of the country, the interests of the people, and the overall situation of reform and opening up, we have already paid so much, so can we not pay more for the feelings of our comrades? ”

Quan Sheng was also moved by his true feelings, and his voice was choked: "Old Chen, don't say it, don't say it......"

Chen Baichuan said: "If you don't say no, don't you want to study and implement the theory of the 'three represents'?" Then it is necessary to link theory with practice! Today, I said in front of you that I will have the opportunity to say to Comrade Chongtian and all the cadres in Jingzhou that we must work together, not deviate from morality, let alone fan the flames and create incidents for personal purposes! After calming down his emotions, he talked about specific questions: "What's going on with your mayor Zhao Fenfang?" Why did you come up with a complete Sheng escape incident? What does she, the mayor, want to do? I think she is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and she wants to create chaos and seize power! ”

Quan Sheng was a little surprised: "Old Chen, Zhao Fenfang's matter is also ...... Comrade Bingyi also told you? ”

Chen Baichuan nodded, and said meaningfully: "Quansheng, I think Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee are not confused......

Only then did Quan Sheng understand that Zheng Bingyi and the provincial party committee were not so easy to deceive, his passivity did not bring political initiative to Zhao Fenfang, Zhao Fenfang's actions did not escape Zheng Bingyi's sharp gaze, this person seems to be smart but was mistaken by cleverness.

The conversation on the night of Egret Island was deep and sincere, with a former provincial party secretary who took care of the overall situation and a current party secretary who was in adversity both opening their hearts under the moonlight and stars. Quansheng was persuaded by Chen Baichuan and solemnly agreed to two points: first, take out the mind of a communist, give up his past suspicions, and take the initiative to unite with Liu Chongtian; Second, seek truth from facts and explain the situation of the Blue Sky Stock bribery case that year, and return Liu Chongtian to an innocent person. Chen Baichuan was very satisfied with this, and repeatedly said that he was worth the trip.

When Chen Baichuan got in the car and left Ludao, it was already early in the morning of the next day, and a blood-like red glow faintly appeared in the eastern sky.

However, things did not develop according to Chen Baichuan's good intentions. At around 11 o'clock at noon the next day, Chen Duanyang, the little nanny of the Liu family, actually ran to the Ludao State Guesthouse in Liu Chongtian's special car, and sent 12,000 yuan to buy a massage chair, and also brought a handwritten letter from Liu Chongtian. Although Liu Chongtian's letter was written extremely politely and even sincerely, Quan Sheng, relying on his own political sensitivity, found in the words that long-standing antagonism was incompatible. What's even worse is that in the afternoon of the same day, Mayor Zhao Fenfang suddenly presided over a press conference at the ** News Center of Jingzhou City without discussing and ventilating with Quansheng, exposing the inside story of the huge losses of Blue Sky Group and Blue Sky Technology, and it was under the banner of Liu Chongtian!

Quansheng was dumbfounded by these two things, took the report call from the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and immediately called a car to the Provincial Party Committee.

Quan Sheng ignored the secretary's obstruction and almost forced his way into the office of Zheng Bingyi, the secretary of the provincial party committee.

At this time, Zheng Bingyi was talking to Liu Chongtian, and there were still three groups of people waiting to report in the reception room outside.

Quan Sheng apologized first when he entered the door: "Comrade Bingyi, I'm really sorry, I broke into the palace today, and I don't talk about politics anymore!" ”

Zheng Bingyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Lao Qi, look at what you said, you still broke into the palace, my broken office is not a palace, it can't compare to your brother's office in Jingzhou!" - Oh, sit, sit down first, I'll be done talking with Chongtian soon! ”

Liu Chongtian stood up: "Comrade Bingyi, that's all I have to say, you can talk to Lao Qi." ”

Quan Sheng stopped Liu Chongtian: "Chongtian, don't go, the matter I reported is related to you, you'd better sit here and listen!" ”

Liu Chongtian realized something, so he had to sit down on the sofa: "What's the matter, Lao Qi, what's going on in Jingzhou again?" ”

Quan Sheng sneered angrily: "Secretary Liu, you still ask me?" Don't you know such an interesting thing? You did a good job, in the end let the Blue Sky Group be exposed, and it was through Zhao Fenfang's hand! His voice suddenly raised an octave, "Comrade Liu Chongtian, let me remind you: Don't bring personal grievances into your work!" Do you think exposing the Blue Sky Group problem is just embarrassing me? It's irresponsible for you to do this, it's going to make a big deal, and it will even cause social unrest! His face turned to Zheng Bingyi and said earnestly, "Comrade Bingyi, Comrade Chen Baichuan talked to me almost all night yesterday, asking me to take care of the overall situation, and asking me to take responsibility for one day on the job. Comrade Bingyi, I would like to ask you to express your stance now, do you want the political situation of stability and unity in Jingzhou? ”

Zheng Bingyi was very calm and waved his hand: "Lao Qi, don't be so excited, speak slowly, explain things clearly first!" ”

Quan Sheng was still very excited: "At two o'clock this afternoon, that is, more than two hours ago, Zhao Fenfang presided over a press conference at the city's ** news center, which exposed the problems of the Blue Sky Group, and even the figures in internal control were made public: the group's net assets were less than 1.5 billion, but the debts were as high as 2.5 billion, and it was actually bankrupt. Blue Sky Technology, a listed company, is struggling due to the heavy debts of the group and is about to be ST by the relevant departments. Zhao Fenfang said that the consequences of corruption are quite serious, and the first-class department will act in accordance with the law, neither shielding any corrupt elements involved in the case, nor supporting Blue Sky Group and Blue Sky Technology. Comrade Bingyi, imagine what tens of thousands of employees of Blue Sky Group and Blue Sky Technology will think about this? They are producing normally, and all of a sudden, their own unit goes bankrupt, so don't blow up the nest? There are also shareholders who invest in Blue Sky Technology, and they will not let us go! ”

Zheng Bingyi understood: "Old Qi, this is what Zhao Fenfang did!" Why is it on Comrade Chongtian's head again? Quan Sheng glanced at Liu Chongtian coldly: "I'm resting in the provincial capital for a while, and the work in Jingzhou is presided over by Comrade Chongtian!" Besides, I know Comrade Chongtian's point of view, I don't include or protect it, and I will expose it when it should be exposed,—— may I ask Comrade Chongtian, is this so? ”

Liu Chongtian had a chance to speak: "Lao Qi, if it should be exposed, it will be exposed, I said that." However, as far as the manipulation of Blue Sky Technology's stock price is concerned, it has never been said that the case will be exposed before the investigation of Blue Sky Group is over, let alone that the economic data of Blue Sky Group will be exposed. Speaking of this, his voice also raised, "However, this does not mean that the serious problems of the Blue Sky Group must be covered all the time, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, not today, tomorrow, this fact must be faced!" ”

Quan Sheng forced up: "Comrade Chongtian, so Zhao Fenfang did this with your permission?" ”

Liu Chongtian shook his head and said in a flat tone: "Comrade Quansheng, I can tell you responsibly: I don't know anything about this, and I am as surprised and surprised as you!" And, like you, I think it's extremely inappropriate to be exposed so suddenly! Zhao Fenfang's so-called lack of support is actually a potential ** package, which may indeed destroy the stability and unity of Jingzhou! ”

Quan Sheng turned his face to Zheng Bingyi: "In this case, Comrade Bingyi, I have two suggestions: first, immediately take organizational measures against Zhao Fenfang and transfer her from the position of mayor of Jingzhou; 2. Please Comrade Chongtian immediately rush back to Jingzhou to properly handle this matter! ”

Zheng Bingyi looked at Quan Sheng with blazing eyes: "Old Qi, how can you ask Comrade Chongtian to go back and deal with it?" What responsibilities should you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, bear? One thing is clear, it is no one else, but you Quansheng must be responsible for the current situation of the Blue Sky Group, including the serious corruption problem! You are not an ordinary party member, and your personal economic innocence cannot replace the responsibility of a municipal party secretary! ”

Quan Sheng did not have any timidity, and said frankly: "Comrade Bingyi, of course I have to bear this responsibility, the inspection is being written, and I will accept any punishment given to me by the provincial party committee in the future, but, in view of the current situation, I must ask Comrade Chongtian to return to Jingzhou as soon as possible......"

Zheng Bingyi sighed and said: "Okay, okay, Lao Qi, don't call it, it's better for you to go back, go back immediately!" If you don't look for me today, I'll look for you tomorrow: after resting for so long, it's time to go back to work, and you still need a bell to tie the bell! Chongtian can't leave now, I'm afraid he will have to rest for a few days, he knows the situation of his lover, he is really difficult......"

Liu Chongtian interjected and said: "Comrade Bingyi, if you ...... If you agree, I'll go back with Lao Qi too! ”

Zheng Bingyi thought for a while: "Chongtian, you can rest, even if you stay with your lover for a day!" Then, he explained to Quan Sheng in a serious tone, "Old Qi, what should be said, Chen Bailao told you yesterday, I won't repeat it." I can tell you clearly, this is not the meaning of Chen Bailao alone, but also the meaning of me, Governor Guan, Comrade Shiyan, and our provincial party committee. Don't think of Comrade Chongtian as so discouraged. Elder Chen assured me and Governor Guan that you are both good comrades in nature, and I agree with Elder Chen's judgment. What about Comrade Zhao Fenfang, Chen Bailao asked us to pay attention, we have been paying attention for a long time, and now it seems that there is a problem, this female mayor may be a little dizzy! ”

Liu Chongtian said: "Comrade Bingyi, I think Lao Qi's opinion is good, and it seems that this mayor is going to be rearranged." ”

Zheng Bingyi glanced at Liu Chongtian and replied implicitly: "I said on behalf of the provincial party committee at the Jingzhou meeting, if you find that someone ignores the overall situation and makes small moves for personal political purposes, one will deal with the other, and you will never be polite, this will count!" ”

Quan Sheng thought about it again, "Oh, by the way, Comrade Bingyi, I have been resting in the provincial capital for so long, there are a lot of rumors in Jingzhou, this sudden back, I am afraid that some things are not so easy to handle, besides, I am still in the provincial capital, do you see if you can make a phone call to the Propaganda Department of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee in the name of the provincial party committee, and ask them to suppress the content of Zhao Fenfang's press conference today?" ”

Zheng Bingyi thought about it, agreed, called the secretary, and explained: "Immediately call the Propaganda Department of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee in the name of the Provincial Party Committee and tell them: The Blue Sky Group issue is relatively complicated, the case has not yet been closed, many things have not been clarified, and the liquidation of assets has not begun. The content of her press conference is not allowed to be published in the newspapers, not on television, and not on the radio, so as not to have a negative impact! ”

After the secretary left with the transcript, Zheng Bingyi reminded again: "Lao Qi, you and the comrades in Jingzhou should also pay attention to it, it is right to maintain the political situation of stability and unity, and it is not bad to maintain the image of Jingzhou's reform and opening up, but we must act according to the law and the laws of the market economy!" The WTO is just around the corner, and we must accept the constraints of the relevant WTO rules. Don't forget, the agreement on joining the WTO is signed by China, that is to say, this agreement is used to regulate the behavior of the world, logically speaking, the WTO agreement has no direct binding force on enterprises. Blue Sky Group manufactures cars, and even if there is no such serious corruption problem, life after entering the customs will not be easy. What do you guys do? Sending red-headed files again? Wrap it up again? I'm afraid it won't work, right? It is necessary to consider the compatibility with the WTO rules, and you Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Party Committee can no longer be the agent of the Blue Sky Group. ”

Liu Chongtian said worriedly: "Comrade Bingyi reminded right, in this sense, Zhao Fenfang's point of view that he does not give support to the Blue Sky Group is still correct, the political situation of stability and unity must be maintained, the problem of the Blue Sky Group must be solved, and there is a problem of dealing with the WTO. ”

Quan Sheng couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up with a wry smile: "Comrade Bingyi, Chongtian, I agree with all of your opinions, completely agree!" I didn't say that I had to wrap everything up, I kept talking about asset restructuring! However, this is all for the future, and we will study the specific plan carefully! Now I have to hurry back to Jingzhou, don't really make a big mess! ”

From Zheng Bingyi to Liu Chongtian and Quan Sheng, the leaders of the three provinces and cities were afraid of making a big mess, but the big mess still came out.

The 6.23 incident broke out in Jingzhou in the end.

At 5:40 p.m. on June 23, nearly 3,000 employees of Blue Sky Group suddenly stopped production, walked down from the automobile assembly line, held high a large slogan of "severely punish corrupt elements, and return my blood and sweat accumulation", and went to Jingzhou City to visit and sit-in in front of the first gate.

When Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian came out of Zheng Bingyi's office and were waiting for the bus in front of the foyer of the provincial party committee building, executive vice mayor Zhou Shanben's urgent call came, which was on Liu Chongtian's mobile phone.

Zhou Shanben complained when he opened his mouth, and asked Liu Chongtian why he didn't turn on the machine for more than two hours? Liu Chongtian said that he reported to Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee, how could he start the machine? Zhou Shanben didn't care about complaining, and reported anxiously that the speech made by Zhao Fenfang on behalf of the city ** caused **annoyance, and the workers of the Blue Sky Group made a fuss, and now the Moon Square in front of the ** gate of the city is crowded with people, and the initiator Zhao Fenfang is gone, and he is forced to speak to the employees of the Blue Sky Group on behalf of the city**, and the situation is serious.

Liu Chongtian listened to it and said: "Rare book, you can talk to Secretary Qi!" Silently handed the phone to Quansheng.

Quan Sheng took the phone and immediately heard a noisy roar, and it seemed that someone mentioned him and his daughter Qi Xiaoyan.

In the noisy noise, Zhou Shanben asked in a hoarse voice: "Secretary Qi, what do you think?" The workers even picked it up with you. ”

Quan Sheng said without hesitation: "Then I will go and explain to the workers, don't intensify the contradictions!" ”

Zhou Shanben said: "Secretary Qi, I think it is better to let Comrade Chongtian come forward, the workers are more emotional now. ”

"What is the relationship between Blue Sky Group and Comrade Chongtian?" It's my responsibility, and I can't shirk it! In addition, immediately notify Zhao Fenfang and ask her to come out of the dark corner and solve the problem on the spot! ”

When he closed his phone, Liu Chongtian's car drove into the foyer first.

Liu Chongtian opened the car door: "Lao Qi, let's go, it seems that I have to go back with you first!" ”

Quansheng's heart was hot: "Chongtian, Yueru is in such a situation, you better rest, Comrade Bingyi allowed you to leave." ”

Liu Chongtian pushed Quansheng: "Okay, old man, you can get in the car, what's polite at this time!" ”

At this time, Quansheng's car also arrived, Quanquan Sheng hesitated, but still got into Liu Chongtian's car, and after getting in the car, he rolled down the window and explained to Li Qichang: "I will go back first in Secretary Liu's car, you go to Ludao to pack up my things for me, and return to Jingzhou as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Shanben never thought that Zhao Fenfang, as the mayor, would poke out the problems of the Blue Sky Group at the press conference on the International Fashion Festival, and he did not expect that Zhao Fenfang's speech in the press center was only two hours after the speech was published, and the workers of the Blue Sky Group flocked to the front of the city for a group visit.

When the secretary general on duty of the city ** called the emergency call, Zhou Shanben had a fever and was hanging water in the hospital, just after hanging a bottle. After listening to the report, Zhou Shanben was very angry and asked the secretary-general on duty to find Zhao Fenfang to solve it. The secretary general said in embarrassment that Zhao Fenfang accompanied Xiao Bing and a few distinguished guests of the Beijing Old Area Foundation to Star Island after the press conference, and he would definitely not be able to come back.

The unfortunate thing of wiping his butt fell on his head again, and Zhou Shanben had no choice but to pull out the infusion needle and rush to the city**.

The car couldn't drive at the intersection of Renmin Road, and Zhou Shanben saw in the car that the Moon Square in front of the city was already crowded and noisy. Slogans of different lengths were also played, all written on the white cloth sheet with an ink pen, and the most eye-catching slogans were: "Severely punish the corrupt elements, and return my blood and sweat!" "Don't be a backstopper, just seek justice!" "Excuse me: What responsibility should the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal ** bear for the current situation of corruption in Blue Sky Group!" There is also a slogan that is very bold, clearly pointing the finger at the secretary of the municipal party committee: "The father and daughter of the Qi family are all over the world, and the blue sky group is losing the bottom, so Jingzhou, where is the reason!" ”

Zhou Shanben was shocked, knowing that this was a big trouble, and it was another incident of Quansheng's "escape" with ulterior motives, so he hurriedly called Liu Chongtian, preparing to report to Liu Chongtian and ask for instructions. Unexpectedly, Liu Chongtian was talking to Zheng Bingyi in the provincial party committee, and his mobile phone was not turned on. Zhou Shanben asked the secretary to call Zhao Fenfang again,—— Zhao Fenfang dared to cause this disaster, so she had to bear this responsibility. Zhao Fenfang's mobile phone was not in the service area, and the secretary called the Xingxing Island Hotel, where the hotel manager said that Mayor Zhao and a group of Beijing guests had gone to sea on a tourist speedboat. Zhou Shanben had no choice but to let the driver reverse, intending to enter the ** compound from the back door of Haicang Street.

When the car turned around and drove towards Haicang Street, the secretary had already seen Zhou Shanben's doubts and dissatisfaction, and tactfully suggested: "Mayor Zhou, you are in this body, and you still have a fever, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on, I think it's better to go back to the hospital, anyway, it's not your business!" ”

Zhou Shanben smiled bitterly: "Why isn't it my business?" I know it's my business, there's nothing to say! ”

The secretary said: "Isn't there still Secretary Qi, why don't you call the provincial capital Ludao again and find Secretary Qi?" ”

Zhou Shanben refused: "What are you looking for Lao Qi for?" Put the old Qi on the fire and roast it? Don't you see all the slogans typed out? ”

The secretary complained and said, "Mayor Zhou, I see, everyone is cheating on you, an honest man!" ”

Zhou Shanben is principled, no matter how dissatisfied he is and how suspicious he is, he still doesn't want to show it in front of the secretary, and hides it and says: "What kind of person? Who set me up? Lao Qi was invited to rest by Comrade Bingyi, and he couldn't help himself; There was an emergency at Chongtian's house, and he had to rush back to deal with it; I am a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor, and I am at home, what should I do if I don't deal with it? What should I do if I am not responsible! ”

The secretary openly mentioned Zhao Fenfang: "What about Mayor Zhao?" Why did you set the fire and slip away? Is this normal? ”

Zhou Shanben couldn't hide it, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't mention her, don't mention her!" ”

Entering the ** compound from the back door, Ji Xiangdong, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, hurriedly ran over and reported: They Director Wu is sitting in the city bureau, urgently mobilizing police forces, and the four avenues leading to Moon Square are ready to be completely blocked according to the anti-riot plan formulated in the past, and strive not to further expand the situation. After the report, Ji Xiangdong respectfully asked Zhou Shanben, do you have any instructions?

Zhou Shanben's high fever did not subside, and his head was dizzy, but he was not confused in his heart, and immediately instructed: "Let's say two: First, don't intensify the contradictions. Today, there is a reason for this situation, a good state-owned enterprise, saying that it is going bankrupt, it is a bolt from the blue, it is too unexpected, the mood of the comrades of the workers is understandable, you must not fight back, scolding and not returning, civilized law enforcement; Second, the idea is to find out the truth of the matter, find clues, and investigate, why did it suddenly make trouble? So quickly? Also, why did they come to Secretary Qi? Is there anyone secretly doing something? I want to give Secretary Qi an explanation! ”

Ji Xiangdong responded again and again and went out with a few police officers.

However, after a lot of work, Ji Xiangdong came back and reported again: "...... Mayor Zhou, the workers are now very excited, have flocked to the city's first automatic door, some people have jumped in over the stainless steel automatic door, must talk to your city leaders, please give them a clear statement: according to Mayor Zhao's speech this afternoon, is the blue sky group about to enter the bankruptcy procedure? What do they do when they enter bankruptcy proceedings? The Blue Sky Group was brought down by the corrupt elements of Bai Keshu and Qi Xiaoyan, and these corrupt elements were appointed by our municipal party committee and the city, what responsibility should the municipal party committee and the city bear for it? Why don't you give them back? Issue...... The question asks a lot of miles......"

Zhou Shan really didn't know what to say, so he waved his hand and said angrily: "Let them ask Mayor Zhao to go!" Ji Xiangdong made a bitter face: "But Mayor Zhao is not here now, Mayor Zhou, you are the executive deputy mayor, you see ......"

Zhou Shanben was helpless, so he had to drag his sick body and go to talk to the workers at the gate. However, I don't know what to say. Zhao Fenfang is the mayor after all, and what she just said, it is difficult for him, the executive deputy mayor, to deny it, but these words have clearly not been studied by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, nor have they been discussed at the mayor's office meeting.

So, Zhou Shanben said to the workers: "...... Comrades, don't be so excited, Mayor Zhao's speech today is just a personal opinion, and everyone also knows that this press conference was originally held for the International Fashion Festival. Let me emphasize: it's a personal opinion! ”

An employee who had skipped the automatic door asked very unceremoniously: "Mayor Zhou, is Mayor Zhao, as the mayor, and he made a public speech at the press conference, is it just a personal opinion?" Do you think this argument is convincing? ”

Zhou Shanben firmly guarded the bottom line: "Whether you can convince people is one thing, whether it is a fact is another." I think what Mayor Zhao said is a personal opinion, and only represents her personally. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, I can responsibly tell you that regarding the bankruptcy of the Blue Sky Group, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee have never studied it, but are considering restructuring and have been considering ......"

Outside the automatic door, someone yelled again: "What reorganization? Isn't it bankruptcy in disguise? Mayor Zhou, you can make it clear: How much money have the corrupt officials of Bai Keshu and Qi Xiaoyan taken away from our group over the years? Who should be financially responsible? ”

Zhou Shanben tried to calm down: "Everyone knows that Comrade Liu Chongtian, executive deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, is leading a special case team to seriously investigate and deal with the corruption case of the Blue Sky Group, and I believe that there will be a result of the investigation and punishment soon!" As for economic responsibility, my personal opinion should be objectively analyzed, and the losses caused by corrupt elements are objective, as are the losses caused by market factors and poor management. I don't hide it from the comrades, during this time, I grasped the work of the Blue Sky Group, went there often, and had a better understanding of the situation of the group......"

A roar interrupted Zhou Shanben's words - "Don't quibble, you officials have a few good things!" It's not about the protection of officials and officials! ”

"Zhou Shanben, you came to arrest the Blue Sky Group, how did you arrest the Blue Sky Group and bankrupt? I don't think you're as good as Bai Keshuli! ”

"Mayor Zhou, what is the benefit of the bankruptcy of the Blue Sky Group for you personally? You make it clear! ”

"If the Blue Sky Group goes bankrupt, you corrupt officials will be able to get away with it, won't you?"

…… Zhou Shanben listened silently, smiled bitterly, and did not make any defense.

The secretary next to him couldn't listen to it anymore, and yelled at the crowd: "What are you calling blindly? Who are corrupt officials? Who is going to get away with it? Did you know or not? Mayor Zhou is still living in the dormitory of the workers of the Port Machinery Factory, in order to find out the problems of the Blue Sky Group and help the Blue Sky Group get out of the predicament, it can be said that he is heartbroken! Today, Mayor Zhou came to talk to you with a fever and hanging water! ”

The noise of the workers gradually stopped.

Zhou Shanben felt a terrible headache, his body was shaking, he involuntarily held the secretary's shoulder, and said weakly: "Comrades, please ...... Please go back first! Your opinion...... I know, I will definitely report to Secretary Qi and Mayor Zhao, and I will also report to ...... Reported to Comrade Liu Chongtian, who was in charge of the case. I also know your difficulties and feelings, I ...... I reiterate to you again: the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and the city have indeed not studied the issue of blue sky bankruptcy, and it is even more nonsense to enter the bankruptcy procedure! Please ...... You calm down and think about it, the blue sky corruption case has not yet been concluded, how can it ...... How is it possible to talk about bankruptcy? ”

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Okay, Mayor Zhou, you can ask Mayor Zhao Fenfang to come out and make a statement like this!" ”

Zhou Shanben explained: "Mayor Zhao now has important work and is accompanying the Beijing guests to visit Star Island! ”

People were noisy again, they didn't believe Zhou Shanben's words, and they said everything.

After that, a strong slogan sounded: "We want to see Mayor Zhao!" We want to meet Mayor Zhao......"

In the sound of mechanical slogans, the crowd in front of him shook, and Zhou Shanben felt that he couldn't bear it, so he had to ask the secretary to call Zhao Fenfang in front of the workers. The secretary seemed to feel that it was not appropriate, and his attitude and expression were a little hesitant, Zhou Shanben knew what the secretary was thinking, and with a blushing face, he repeated his order again, and asked the secretary to call, and beat him in front of the workers!

When the secretary was ordered to make this call, Zhou Shan thought that he was not making concessions to the workers, but asking the female mayor who set fire to the famine. She Zhao Fenfang is a small matter of losing face, and the situation of maintaining stability and unity in Jingzhou is a big matter, besides, this disaster was caused by her, whether intentionally or unintentionally, this responsibility must be borne by herself, and she can't put others on the fire.

This time the phone was connected, and it was not Zhao Fenfang who answered the phone, but Zhao Fenfang's secretary.

Zhao Fenfang's secretary was very surprised to learn that the workers of the Blue Sky Group visited the petition, apparently after asking Zhao Fenfang for instructions, he made it clear that it was impossible for Mayor Zhao to retract what he had said, nor could he come to the door of the city to talk to the workers, but asked Zhou Shanben to adhere to the principles, not to make concessions, and resolutely maintain the image of the city, so he replied to the worker comrades according to the tone of Zhao Fenfang's press conference: Corrupt elements should be arrested, and they should be killed, but ** cannot do everything, and the Blue Sky Group should go bankrupt if it should go bankrupt. Zhou Shanben was angry, snatched the phone, gasped for breath, and said to Zhao Fenfang's secretary: "Xiao Zhao, I'm ...... I'm Zhou Shanben, now, the situation here is very serious, please ...... Please Mayor Zhao personally answer the phone! Kiss...... Pick it up in person! ”

Zhao Fenfang's secretary said: "Mayor Zhou, Mayor Zhao is not very convenient, and he has accompanied Comrade Xiao Bing into the banquet hall......"

Zhou Shanben roared in a hoarse voice: "That...... Then please tell her, she ...... She, the mayor, is also under the leadership of the Jingzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, and decisions that have not been studied by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee do not count, I ...... I won't implement it and maintain it! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Shanben was dizzy for a while and almost fell to the ground.

The secretary held Zhou Shanben and reminded quietly: "Let's call Secretary Liu or Secretary Qi!" ”

When he called Liu Chongtian, there was already a lot of people in front of him, first someone named and scolded Zhao Fenfang for not caring whether the workers lived or died, and then someone scolded Quan Sheng and Qi Xiaoyan, and the slogan for Quan Sheng also hit the ** courtyard.

Ji Xiangdong led the riot police to meet him, and forced the workers who had jumped into the courtyard to the automatic door again. During this period, there was a pushing, shoving, and shoving, and several policemen grabbed two workers who were holding signs and dragged them into the cordon, and Zhou Shanben immediately asked the secretary to stop them.

A group visit incident that could have been quickly quelled, because of Zhao Fenfang's stubbornness, became out of control, more than 3,000 employees on duty who had rushed to the front of the city did not disperse, and after the employees and their families who were resting at home had dinner, they also broke through the police blockade and rushed over from all over the city. As of about 7 o'clock that night, more than 6,000 people had gathered in Moon Square, and some people had even brought tents for the night, and they must see Mayor Zhao Fenfang, and the request was very clear: please Zhao Fenfang take back her!

The conversation could not go on, and Zhou Shanben, who was physically and mentally exhausted, went dark in front of his eyes and fainted in front of the automatic door at the scene of the dialogue.

When he was carried into the car and went to the Municipal People's Hospital, Zhou Shanben woke up and asked the secretary worriedly: "Qi ...... Secretary Qi and Secretary Liu are here to ...... Where has it been? It's past seven o'clock, and it's ...... It's time to arrive, right? ”

The secretary said: "I just called, and I have already passed the highway toll booth and entered the old town of Gyeongju. ”

Zhou Shanben breathed a sigh of relief: "That...... That's good, that's good! ”

The secretary sighed: "Mayor Zhou, if you want me to say, you shouldn't care about this matter today, you can't take care of it!" ”

Zhou Shanben sighed: "Yes, it seems ...... It seems that someone is forcing the palace! ”

At 19:20 a.m. on 23 June, Liu Chongtian and Quanquan Sheng rushed to the Jingzhou City CPC Committee.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the municipal party committee, through the high-powered telescopes with night vision devices, the situation on the opposite Moon Square can be seen clearly. Quan Sheng clearly saw many slogans against him, deeply felt his huge political failure, and for a while his heart was strongly shocked, and he couldn't help but say to himself: "The common people have stood up and spoke......

After putting down the binoculars and listening to a brief report, Quan Sheng decided to go to the square to have a dialogue with the workers of Blue Sky Group.

Liu Chongtian disagreed, grabbed Quansheng, and asked Quansheng not to go.

Quan Sheng said: "What if I don't go? You see, they even brought tents, and they scolded me! ”

Liu Chongtian said: "Then don't go, you should let Comrade Zhao Fenfang do the work, the bankruptcy issue was raised by her!" ”

Quan Sheng stared at Liu Chongtian, his face was gloomy and frightening: "Chongtian, what do you mean?" Do you dare to rest assured that our female mayor? Aren't you afraid that she will talk nonsense with the workers again? This mess is big enough, there hasn't been such a large-scale group visit incident in Jingzhou for seven years! When this kind of thing happened today, I am completely ashamed of the provincial party committee and the eight million cadres and masses in Jingzhou! ”

Liu Chongtian persuaded kindly: "Lao Qi, you calm down, I think it's better for you not to go, what do you say to the workers when you go?" It may also exacerbate the conflict. What the workers want to see is Zhao Fenfang, so let Zhao Fenfang go! What Zhao Fenfang wants to say, let her say it, what are you afraid of? I can't see it collapse this day, and the contradiction can only be solved when it is fully exposed! ”

Quansheng thinks about it, the chairman and general manager of Blue Sky Group is none other than his daughter, and now his daughter's whereabouts are unknown, so it is even more difficult for him to say this, and he will not convince the workers of anything. Besides, since the matter has reached this point and the contradictions have all been made public, it would be good to let this scheming female mayor fully expose it, so he asked the secretary general on duty of the municipal party committee to call again to urge him, asking Zhao Fenfang to immediately rush to the municipal party committee to meet with him, meet with Liu Chongtian, and urgently study the handling of the incident.

Quan Sheng came down from the top floor physically and mentally, arrived in front of his office on the eighth floor, hesitated for a moment, and suggested to Liu Chongtian: "Chongtian, are you waiting for Zhao Fenfang here with me?" Let's have something to eat together, and I'll let the comrades in the duty room do it! ”

Liu Chongtian said: "Okay, I'm hungry on the road, you are in a hurry, and I don't dare to ask the driver to stop and buy food." ”

After entering the door, the lights were turned on, and Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian found that there was a letter thrown on the ground at the door, and there was no address on the envelope, only a few big characters were written: "Quan Sheng Qinqi", which was the handwriting of Juanxiu's woman.

Quansheng knew as soon as he looked at the handwriting that it was a letter from his daughter Qi Xiaoyan, and he was shocked again, but he still quietly put the letter away and threw it on the desk. The desk was littered with papers and letters, and the letter was a clutter of letters, less conspicuous.

Liu Chongtian joked: "Lao Qi, who got the letter, I don't even have an address?" Isn't there a secret? ”

Quan Sheng also said in a joking tone: "What? Chongtian, do you want to check my life style? ”

This topic is too sensitive, Liu Chongtian can't go on, and talks about Zhao Fenfang again: "Old Qi, what do you mean by Zhao Fenfang doing this today?" Is it just to embarrass you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, and then force you to step down? I'm afraid it won't be that simple, right? ”

Quan Sheng pondered for a moment: "What else can there be?" He sighed deeply, "She is too eager to be the number one, the eldest girl has been waiting for eighteen years when she gets on the sedan chair, but she can't wait for a few days!" She didn't want to think about it, there was such a serious problem in the Jingzhou team, that is, if she didn't make such trouble, I would still step down, and if the provincial party committee didn't remove me, I would have to take the blame and resign! ”

Liu Chongtian pondered: "So, Lao Qi, I think things are not so simple, there may be big articles here!" Comrade Tian Jian suspected that Jin Qiming's pyramid group and Bai Keshu opened a rat warehouse, allowing the pyramid to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in securities trading, but making the Blue Sky Group lose the bottom! They colluded inside and outside to hollow out the blue sky group, collapsed our blue sky technology, and now it is going to be a public acquisition, the acquisition plan has come out, and it has been recognized by our municipal state-owned assets supervision and administration bureau, I heard that I was alert, you were not there at the time, I told the good book, to him to be cautious. You say, could this have something to do with the pyramid buyout? ”

Quan Sheng was stunned and serious: "Chongtian, do you mean that Zhao Fenfang suddenly announced the bankruptcy of Blue Sky Group in order to cooperate with the acquisition of Pyramid Group?" Does Zhao Fenfang have such courage? If that's the case, it's terrible, it's too bad, it's incredible! Chongtian, what evidence do you have? You can't just talk about this kind of thing! ”

Liu Chongtian said slowly: "Lao Qi, since the matter has reached this point, I won't hide it from you: Zhao Fenfang is probably not only a matter of political speculation, but also economically I am afraid that it will not be clean." Before I arrived in Gyeongju, I had received a report about her. Because it was an anonymous letter, and then there was a mess of the Blue Sky Group, so I didn't have time to investigate. As for the Blue Sky Group case, it is not only related to Bai Keshu, but also has a lot to do with her, she has approved more notes for Qi Xiaoyan and the Blue Sky Group than Bai Keshu. It's just that she is very slippery, and she has not fallen into specific economic problems,—— at least we haven't found out that she is trapped now. ”

Quan Sheng nodded: "I know about this situation, and I talked to her once, to be honest, it really scared me!" ”

Liu Chongtian continued: "Recently, she has had frequent contact with Jin Qiming of the Pyramid Group, and according to insiders, the Pyramid Group donated 10 million to an old district foundation in Beijing under the instructions of Mayor Zhao Fenfang!" Is it the Jin Qiming of the Pyramid Group who is righteous and squandering money? I'm afraid not, right? Yes? The charitable foundation that you Lao Qi supported the establishment of, the Pyramid Group only donated 100,000 yuan, and the old district foundation is 10 million, which is too generous, right? What is even more interesting is that the secretary general of this old district foundation is the son of one of our party and state leaders. Lao Qi, think about it, what does this mean. ”

Quan Quansheng's eyes lit up, and he continued: "The Pyramid Group donated 10 million yuan, and the relationship with the party and state leaders paved the way for Zhao Fenfang to be promoted in Beijing, and the Pyramid Group will definitely ask Zhao Fenfang for a return!" ”

Liu Chongtian interjected: "Right! What is the reward? It can be to bankrupt the Blue Sky Group! Blue Sky Group is bankrupt, and the huge amount of money owed to Blue Sky Technology cannot be recovered, which provides a good opportunity for Pyramid Group to acquire Blue Sky Technology cheaply! ”

Quan Sheng asked: "Since Zhao Fenfang has the background of Beijing behind him, can we still do it?" ”

Liu Chongtian said confidently: "I think I can do it!" Wasn't Cheng Kejie also a party and state leader? It should be killed, not to mention the relatives of the leaders! After that, he explained, "Lao Qi, this is the end of this for you, I have not reported it to Comrades Bingyi and Shiyan, besides, if the 10 million donated by the Pyramid Group is really used for poverty alleviation, it is not a problem for the party and state leaders not to interfere in the arrangements of our Jingzhou cadres." I'm just analyzing the signs here! ”

Quan Sheng thought about it and kindly persuaded: "Chongtian, you are in trouble enough now, let's be steady!" ”

Liu Chongtian smiled frankly: "What trouble am I having? Is there no truth in this world? Lao Qi, what do you say? ”

He smiled meaningfully, but he didn't say anything: "Chongtian, don't worry, the truth will be revealed soon!" ”

At this time, the comrades in the duty room of the municipal party committee brought dinner, and both of them were hungry and devoured it.

Just halfway through the meal, Zhou Shanben's phone call asked about the development of the situation and the handling of the incident.

Quansheng and Liu Chongtian were very moved, told them about the situation here, and repeatedly instructed Zhou Shanben to recuperate with peace of mind.

Zhou Shanben said: "Lao Qi, Chongtian, or I'll come over!" Some questions have to be explained clearly to Zhao Fenfang in front of you! Zhao Fenfang went too far today, first talking nonsense, triggering this group visit incident, and after the group visit, she insisted on not retracting her erroneous remarks, causing the situation to deteriorate further. She's too bad as the mayor! ”

Quan Sheng said sarcastically: "Shan Ben, I don't think she has no level, but her level is too high, she is engaged in political skills, put me on the fire and roast me, and will also be the army of Comrade Chongtian!" Don't worry, Comrade Chongtian and I are studying and dealing with it, and we won't make a mistake! ”

Liu Chongtian also took the phone and said: "Shanben, you can rest in peace, don't come over again, I and Lao Qi know all the situations you said, and we will definitely work together to deal with this incident." ”

Zhou Shanben seemed to have something to say: "Chongtian, at this time, you two leaders must take into account the overall situation!" ”

Liu Chongtian said loudly: "Shan Ben, you can rest assured, Lao Qi and I are not Zhao Fenfang, we will take care of the overall situation!" ”

Zhou Shanben's words about taking care of the overall situation aroused Quan Sheng's thoughts. After ending the call with Zhou Shanben, when he continued to eat, Quan Sheng seemed to ask unintentionally, "Why did Qi Universe die in prison?" Chongtian, who do you think did it? ”

Liu Chongtian glanced at Quan Sheng meaninglessly: "Old Qi, how do you know everything?" Who do you think did it? ”

Quan Sheng blurted out: "Anyway, it won't be you who did it, you don't have to do it at all!" ”

Liu Chongtian joked: "Lao Qi, that's what you did?" I'm in charge of your project in Jingzhou! ”

Quan Sheng said with a smile: "If you don't do the project in Jingzhou, others will do it too, and besides, I didn't do it." Tell you, Chongtian, there are a lot of rumors about you and your nanny named Chen Duanyang, and I will refute the rumors for you after hearing them. ”

Liu Chongtian nodded and sighed: "Lao Qi, our contradictions are contradictions, but I still obey you in terms of being a man, you are a person who engages in conspiracy, not conspiracy, I really didn't suspect you in the death of Qi Universe, but suspected another force." This force is not only playing with my reputation, but may also be doing your tricks. Now it is very clear that Bai Keshu is indeed involved in the underworld, and the relationship with Jin Qiming's pyramid group is very abnormal, and Bai Keshu's progress history is inseparable from the history of the pyramid group. In view of the special relationship between Bai Keshu and Qi Xiaoyan, old Qi, I suspect that Xiaoyan has always been under the control of this black force, and the situation is quite dangerous. ”

Quan Sheng was taken aback: "Chongtian, Jin Qiming and the Pyramid Group are underworld forces?" This...... That's too much, right? Jin Qiming is a well-known entrepreneur, and this group is also a well-known private enterprise in our province, which has contributed to the economic development of Jingzhou. They may evade taxes, or they may make some economic benefits through Bai Keshu and Zhao Fenfang, but I am afraid that they will not dare to do murder and arson, right? ”

Liu Chongtian said: "Lao Qi, the underworld is murder and arson, smuggling and drug trafficking? I believe that triad organizations in the true sense of the word must be quasi-political organizations that infiltrate our regime, they rely on money to open the way, find and cultivate their forces within our regime, and serve their political and economic interests. From the mafia in Italy to the mafia organizations in Japan and Southeast Asia, they all have this characteristic. At the present stage in China, this kind of real underworld has already taken shape, or an organization with the nature of the underworld has appeared, and Xiamen Yuanhua Group is a typical example! Jin Qiming's pyramid group looks like Xiamen's Yuanhua Group. ”

After thinking about it, Ne asked, "So, your task force already has evidence?" ”

Liu Chongtian shook his head, and there was a little helplessness on his face: "There is really not much evidence that is excellent, this matter makes us very sad!" Bai Keshu's matter seems to have something to do with the pyramid group, but after careful investigation, it turns out that there are all legal procedures or reasonable explanations. Even the nearly 100 million that the Pyramid Group threw away for Bai Keshu's political achievements was for work. On the other hand, Bai Keshu granted land to the Pyramid Group, allowing the Pyramid Group to take advantage of the economy, and no one had anything to say. Therefore, I have such a feeling: This Jin Qiming is not simple, not only is he an entrepreneur, but also a rare black civil politician, he has the ability to take precautions, has a keen political sense, and the organization of the pyramid group is also tight, and he has carried out a prepared and planned retreat before the case. ”

Quan Sheng immediately thought of the letter that his daughter had just sent, and a series of thoughts suddenly flashed in his mind: Will Xiaoyan be in Jin Qiming's hands now? Or is it controlled by a pyramid group? The meaning of Xiaoyan's last letter, could it be the meaning of Jin Qiming? What is the content of this new letter? Should I hand over the two letters and let Liu Chongtian and the task force investigate?

Only then did I suddenly realize that I had a close relationship with Zhao Fenfang and the sudden outbreak of the incident in front of me! I don't know the content of this letter yet, but the content of the last letter is very clear, my daughter asked him not to mention the reorganization of the Blue Sky Group anymore, and asked her to have a good relationship with Zhao Fenfang. No wonder Zhao Fenfang was so bold that she dared to suddenly declare the Blue Sky Group bankrupt without consulting him! If Liu Chongtian's analysis and judgment are correct, she is using actions to cooperate with the acquisition plan of the Pyramid Group, and she is forcing the palace to him and the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee!

However, what will be the consequences of really handing over these two letters to Liu Chongtian? Will it make Liu Chongtian suspect that he is involved in this conspiracy? Will it lead to the murder of his daughter? Ji Xiangdong has never found out the whereabouts of his daughter, and now there is no conclusive evidence to prove that his daughter is in the hands of Jin Qiming, so he is afraid that handing over these two letters will not only not help, but will make him fall into further passivity.

Liu Chongtian noticed Quan Sheng's strange silence, and seemed to ask unintentionally, "Old Qi, what are you thinking?" ”

Quan Sheng looked at his watch in disguise: "I'm thinking about Zhao Fenfang, why hasn't she arrived yet!" ”

Liu Chongtian also looked at his watch: "It's past eight o'clock, even if it's on Star Island, she should rush back!" ”

At this time, the secretary on duty came in and reported: "Secretary Qi, Secretary Liu, Mayor Zhao Fenfang came to a call, saying that the sea is too stormy, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back tonight, so I will ask you for leave first, I hope you understand!" He glanced at Quan Sheng, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Secretary Qi, Mayor Zhao has another suggestion, I hope you don't give in when you talk to the workers!" ”

Liu Chongtian looked at Quan Sheng: "Old Qi, it seems that our Jingzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China can't lead this mayor!" ”

Quan Zheng was angry, and "snorted": "If you can't lead, you have to lead, and you have to seek politics in your position!" With a pull of his face, he ordered to the secretary on duty, "Tell Comrade Zhao Fenfang that the situation is serious now, no matter how big the wind and waves at sea are, we must rush back immediately, this is the order of the Jingzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China!" If she refuses to carry out this order, she will bear all the consequences! ”

The banquet on Star Island started at six o'clock, and it entered at almost eight o'clock. Xiao Bing and the guests in Beijing all drank too much, and the host Jin Qiming and his two vice presidents also drank a lot. Zhao Fenfang didn't feel lonely, and took advantage of the hot atmosphere to go outside and make a few phone calls to inquire about the situation in Moon Square. Knowing that the workers of the Blue Sky Group even set up tents, Zhou Shanben fainted at the scene, Zhao Fenfang was a little panicked, felt that the trouble seemed to be a little bigger, and she was uneasy. But when I think about it, I don't realize what I said or did wrong. The corruption problem of Blue Sky Group has nothing to do with her, the direct responsibility should be borne by Bai Keshu and Qi Xiaoyan, the leadership responsibility should be borne by Quan Sheng, and the responsibility for investigation and punishment should be borne by Liu Chongtian, what is the matter with her Zhao Fenfang! She just told the fact that a bankruptcy is a business, and what is the bankruptcy of a business? This situation is more in the province and the whole country, of course, it can't be wrapped down by **!

Yes, she didn't make any mistakes, no matter how angry Quan Sheng, Liu Chongtian, and Zhou Shanben were, no matter how angry they were, how violent they were, they couldn't catch her any tricks, her speech at the press conference was completely in line with the spirit of reform, and completely in line with the laws of the socialist market economy, in Xiao Bing's words, she was a fearless reformer! Xiao Bing also said that Quan Sheng, Liu Chongtian, and Zhou Shanben are not against her personally, but to obstruct and undermine the reform, and Xiao Bing will report to his father when he goes back! Compared with Xiao Bing's father, Liu Chongtian and Quansheng are not bullshit, and it is impossible to dominate her career and future. Liu Chongtian and Quansheng are actually the same as her, and their careers and futures are in the hands of others. After the Jingzhou corruption case is investigated, the provincial party committee will definitely investigate the responsibility of this person. Liu Chongtian's political fate will not be much better than that of Quan Sheng, even if he escapes the catastrophe of Qi Universe, it is unlikely that he will enter the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, no matter how bold Zheng Bingyi is, no matter how bold he wants to form a gang, he will not dare to bring up a cronie who is suspected of taking bribes and killing people immediately. As for her, as long as Xiao Bing's father hinted in a phone call, she may take over in order and replace Quan Sheng as the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee. Ms. Zhao believes that Mr. Zheng and the provincial party committee are smart, and that when the crucial call from Beijing comes, Mr. Zheng knows how to make a choice that is in his political interests.

should not have taken this step,—— if Liu Chongtian met each other and accepted her political courtship, why did she have to go to the upper echelons? The upper route is actually not easy to take, Xiao Bing's appetite is too big, and his mouth is 10 million, what should Xiao Bing and these friends in Beijing do in the future? Can the pyramid group continue to come out? If the pyramid group continues to come out, can she not give the pyramid group a handsome return? Isn't she just another Bai Keshu? It's all a problem! Now, Jin Qiming has used this 10 million donation to tie her to the pyramid group tightly, and the pyramid that once buried Bai Keshu may also bury her.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fenfang's heart was cold, and she was a little scared: Jin Qiming is not an ordinary character, he is a civil politician at best, and a bad wolf at worst. She will never forget the heart-to-heart conversation in room 1304 of the Grand Hotel Europe, and no one has really talked to her like this so far. This is a heart-to-heart talk, it is simply political blackmail. Of course, she is not a fool and will not bow her head in the face of blackmail, and in the end she tacitly reached a possible win-win agreement with this person. The question now is, can this win-win happen? Is it a bit risky to bet on Jin Qiming and Xiao Bing in such a desperate bet?

When he was thinking about going to the bathroom so crankily, another unexpected thing happened: when he walked out of the bathroom door, he bumped into Liu Chongtian's brother-in-law Zou Xuan head-on. Zou Xuan accompanied several foreign construction contractors to Xingxing Island to fish on this day, and also had dinner at the only tourist hotel on the island. Seeing Zhao Fenfang, he was so enthusiastic that he threw off his guests and ran over to toast with a wine glass.

Zou Xuan obviously drank too much, couldn't stand still when toasting, scolded his brother-in-law Liu Chongtian, and directly expressed his loyalty to Zhao Fenfang: "...... Mayor Zhao, you look up to me, and I know how many times you want to mention me! From now on, I will be your person, I will hit wherever you point, and I will not hit my nose! Liu Chongtian is what the fuck, he just wants to climb up by himself, and he doesn't care about the lives of others! ”

Xiao Bing was not lightly drunk, and with a disdainful tone, he interjected: "Liu Chongtian? Who is Liu Chongtian? No more fun! ”

Zou Xuan became more energetic: "Oh, it's no fun? Fuck, I thought he could stay in Jingzhou as the secretary of the municipal party committee, isn't he just a deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? Isn't it just a temporary assistance to Quansheng to preside over the work? He didn't even listen to Mayor Zhao......"

Xiao Bing's wine glass was put on the table: "Liu Chongtian is too ignorant!" My father will greet your provincial party committee soon, adjust the Jingzhou team! Mayor Zhao is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and a mayor is transferred from Pinghu or the provincial capital, and the four sets of teams must be reorganized. As for Liu Chongtian, my father's opinion is also taken down, it is completely impossible to enter the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, what kind of forest bird is he......"

Zhao Fenfang was taken aback: How can this kind of private operation be said in front of Zou Xuan? How did you get it when it was passed to Liu Chongtian? Hurriedly stood up: "Drink too much, Xiao Bing, Mr. Jin, I see that you all drank too much!" Then he said to Zou Xuan, "Director Zou, don't talk nonsense, let alone scold Secretary Liu everywhere, Secretary Liu is strict with himself, which is worth learning from all of us!" ”

Zou Xuan smiled: "Mayor Zhao, look, look, don't you believe me?" I'm your man, really! ”

Zhao Fenfang was very serious, with an official tone, and her words were not leaky: "Director Zou, I see that you have drunk too much!" What's your people, my people? Yes? You, Comrade Zou Xuan, are neither my nor Secretary Liu's people, you are a party member, a party member! You are a civil servant at the department level, and you are a member of the country! We all have to serve the party and the country and our people......"

Even coaxing and deceiving, Zou Xuan was finally persuaded to leave, and the call of the secretary on duty of the municipal party committee arrived again, conveying the stern orders of Quansheng and Liu Chongtian: Zhao Fenfang should rush back to the municipal party committee immediately and meet with them, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Xiao Bing became angry when he heard this, stood up with a "whew", and his title changed: "Where are you going?" Secretary Zhao, don't pay attention to them, see what they do with you! And at your own risk, what are the consequences? Who to scare? There is no such thing as a group visit in the country! ”

Zhao Fenfang didn't drink anything, her mind was very calm, she thought about it, and said to Jin Qiming: "Mr. Jin, I think I still have to go back, Xiao Bing and a few friends in Beijing are resting on the island, I have to say goodbye first, you'd better accompany me back!" ”

Jin Qiming was still obedient, asked his two vice presidents to stay, greeted Xiao Bing and his party, and he and Zhao Fenfang got on a luxury yacht together and went straight to the No. 3 pier of Xinwei Port. When getting on the boat, Zhao Fenfang called the driver and asked the driver to pick it up at the pier.

The cruise ship was about to depart, and the cable had been untied to go offshore, when a young female manager surnamed Cheng of the Xingdao Hotel jumped up.

Let the sea breeze blow, Zhao Fenfang's mind was much clearer, and she suddenly remembered that Star Island seemed to be a prosperous hometown, and thought that the female manager had been going in and out of the banquet hall tonight, and she didn't know what she heard, so she became suspicious, and deliberately asked the female manager in a casual tone: "Xiao Cheng, the wind and waves are so big, and it's so late, what are you doing with us?" Yes? ”

The female manager smiled: "Mayor Zhao, take your downwind boat to contact some fresh vegetables, and there will be a group of guests tomorrow." ”

Zhao Fenfang confessed: "Some of my guests have drunk too much today, no matter what you hear, don't talk nonsense!" ”

The female manager nodded again and again: "I know, Mayor Zhao, we are disciplined, and we don't ask, listen, or pass on the leaders' affairs." ”

And so it went. Zhao Fenfang never imagined that this female manager would be the niece of the family who was not out of Wusheng, and she didn't expect that this person would quietly record their conversation that night, and give the tape to Quan Sheng at a critical time, so that she was defeated. The terrible debacle actually showed itself on this Star Island night. The sea breeze made her sober up a lot, but it didn't make Jin Qiming sober up.

Jin Qiming entered the yacht VIP room, saw that there were no outsiders present, lay down on the sofa, and opened his mouth with a big grin: "Secretary Zhao, look, I also call you Secretary Zhao, no matter when you officially become the secretary of the listing committee, in my eyes, you are already the secretary of the municipal party committee, the number one in Jingzhou!" Secretary Zhao, our pyramid group will rely on you in the future, I believe that sister, you will be worthy of my brother and me! ”

This tone, this gesture, made Zhao Fenfang very unhappy, and Zhao Fenfang couldn't help but think of Bai Keshu who fell under the pyramid.

Jin Qiming said in a heroic tone: "Secretary Zhao, do you think my performance is okay this time?" Yes? ”

Zhao Fenfang glanced at Jin Qiming: "Mr. Jin, do you think I owe you something?" ”

Jin Qiming was a little sober at this time, and sat up right on the sofa: "Secretary Zhao, no, you don't owe me anything, really!" ”

Zhao Fenfang thought about it and decided to knock it: "It's good that you know, don't think I don't know about the immoral things you do!" ”

Jin Qiming was careful and asked tentatively: "Secretary Zhao, are you ...... What do you mean? What is it? ”

Zhao Fenfang smiled: "Didn't you count it in your heart?" Yes? You are really righteous enough, you keep saying that you want to be worthy of Secretary Qi, but you take Secretary Qi's daughter Qi Xiaoyan as a hostage and lock her up in your friend's private villa, and threaten Quansheng again and again! I always thought that Qi Xiaoyan was in your hands, and sure enough, it was in your hands, you Mr. Jin was really bold enough, dare to lie to Liu Chongtian, and dare to lie to me! ”

Jin Qiming laughed: "What, Secretary Zhao, are you going to cheat me again?" Want to win another game? ”

Zhao Fenfang was still laughing: "Trick you? Well, even if I lied to you. So, let me ask you: Did Quan Sheng receive two letters from Qi Xiaoyan? One was sent to the provincial capital of Ludao, and one was sent to the office of Quansheng? Did Ji Xiangdong do it single-handedly? ”

Jin Qiming was stunned, his face full of consternation: "Zhao ...... Mayor Zhao, where did you get all these things? ”

Zhao Fenfang wrote lightly: "Didn't I lie to you? Do you want me to keep cheating? Yes? Go, pour me a glass of water! ”

Jin Qiming was honest and was busy pouring water for Zhao Fenfang. After bringing the water over, he respectfully handed it to Zhao Fenfang, and he didn't dare to sit down with a big grin, but stood aside and constantly wiped the cold sweat on his head.

Zhao Fenfang drank the water, and her tone became more and more kind: "Mr. Jin, you care about me very much, and I will naturally have a special care for you!" Let's talk about the results of my recent concern: how bold are you, huh? Qi Universe is locked up in the third prison of the province, and you also want to kill him, and let Manager Ge of the disaster elimination company for others, oh, that is, that Wang Guochang in Pinghu sent 50,000 yuan to Bi Chengye, the captain of the prison squadron? Dare to frame Liu Chongtian, Mr. Jin, have you gone too far? Want to go to the guillotine? ”

Jin Qiming suddenly understood: "Mayor Zhao, don't say it, I know, did Ji Xiangdong tell you?" ”

Zhao Fenfang spread her hands: "Why did Ji Xiangdong tell me?" Knowing this, he should have told the task force! ”

Jin Qiming said sadly: "Because you have the power in your hands, and you may be the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, Ji Xiangdong naturally wants to find you as a backer and continue to climb up." Under the temptation of money, nothing can be relied on, and under the temptation of power, nothing can be relied on! After calming down his emotions for a while, he said, "Mayor Zhao, I have to admit that my mistake is that I did not meet Ji Xiangdong's further demands for power,—— this person is like you, he is bent on being the number one, and he has always wanted to get rid of them Director Wu and his own governor!" ”

Zhao Fenfang laughed, laughed, and said arrogantly: "But I promised him, I think that Comrade Ji Xiangdong is generally good, he has political acumen, has the ability to work, and understands current affairs, so he can consider being put in the position of number one." And that Director Wu, who is involved in gangsters and blacks, and has the issue of bribery, the masses have reacted a lot, and it should be taken down. Speaking of this, he deliberately asked Jin Qiming, "You must be very satisfied with this arrangement, right?" Ji Xiangdong is a talent cultivated by you and Bai Keshu! ”

Jin Qiming hesitated for a moment: "Mayor Zhao, Ji Xiangdong betrayed me today, and he will betray you tomorrow!" Zhao Fenfang nodded: "Yes, but that was when I had no power in my hands, and I never thought about losing power!" ”

Jin Qiming was completely knocked down, he couldn't get angry anymore, and smoked silently, without saying a word. Zhao Fenfang saw that Jin Qiming was honest, so she took the initiative to close the scene, and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, Mr. Jin, don't make this kind of scary joke, just the two of us today, you don't think I have said these words, just treat me as a hypothesis and make up a story!" Now let's face it, let's talk about what I should do when I go back? Is it to take a step back and take back what was said at the press conference? ”

Jin Qiming asked rhetorically: "As a current mayor and future secretary of the municipal party committee, do you think you can retract this speech?" ”

Zhao Fenfang looked at Jin Qiming and asked suspiciously: "Then fight with them, ah, hard?" ”

Jin Qiming said: "It's not about fighting hard, but about sticking to principles, in fact, you have no way out." ”

In fact, Zhao Fenfang also knew in her heart that she had no way out, just like she firmly pinched Jin Qiming's death hole, Jin Qiming also firmly choked her death hole. After all, 10 million is from the pyramid group, Xiao Bing and Jin Qiming have reached the point where they have nothing to talk about, and Jin Qiming has already found out from Xiao Bing that she is running for official positions. No matter what happens in the future, now that they are all in the same boat, all she can do at the moment is to knock Jin Qiming like this and let him not go too far.

The wind and waves were really strong that the original forty-five minute voyage took an hour and ten minutes.

When the ship arrived at the No. 3 pier of Xinwei Port and was about to say goodbye to Jin Qiming, the secretary general on duty in the duty room of the municipal party committee called again and asked her location. At that time, her car had already been on Haibin 2nd Road. Haibin 2nd Road to the Municipal Party Committee is a maximum of 20 minutes by car, and Zhao Fenfang asked the driver to speed up after getting into the car, and as a result, it only took more than ten minutes to arrive at the Sun Square in front of the Municipal Party Committee.

Zhao Fenfang instructed the driver to slow down and detour, and silently looked at the Moon Square through the window for a long time, before calmly getting out of the car in front of the foyer of the Municipal Party Committee Building, and trying to calm down and walked into the still brightly lit Municipal Party Committee Building...... Quansheng and Liu Chongtian were really waiting for her, their faces were ugly, they smoked a lot during this period, and the room was full of smoke and miasma.

Zhao Fenfang seemed to be fine, and shouted with a smile when she entered the door: "Yo, it's choking to death, can you two leaders smoke less?" ”

Quan Sheng twisted the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, and said angrily: "Mayor Zhao, you are finally here, not choking to death, but rushing to death!" Why don't you go to Moon Square now and see what it's like? You can stay on Star Island! ”

Zhao Fenfang still smiled: "What's the hurry?" Aren't all your leaders here? With you two big men on top, even if the sky falls, I can't be suppressed as a little woman! Secretary Qi, how's the situation going? Have you gone to talk to the workers? ”

Liu Chongtian was very polite: "Mayor Zhao, why is Secretary Qi going to talk?" The comrades of the workers want to see you, they want you to retract what you have said, and Comrade Shanben has already told you on the phone, why don't you come back? What do you think about it? ”

Zhao Fenfang couldn't stop laughing, and her face fell: "Secretary Liu, I'm about to report to you!" I don't want to talk about what I think about first, but first talk about Comrade Shanben. What does Comrade Shan Ben want to do? Call me in front of the troublemakers, what is the impact? Is it appropriate for me to retract what I just said this afternoon? Do you want the unity of the team? Do you want the prestige of the first-class **? ”

"Mayor Zhao, this is your personal behavior, which does not involve the unity of the team and does not affect the prestige of the **!" ”

Liu Chongtian was also very angry: "Comrade Zhao Fenfang, the impact you personally caused must be taken back by you personally!" You should go to Moon Square for me now, have a dialogue with the workers and comrades of the Blue Sky Group, and tell them: Your remarks on the Blue Sky Group are completely personal views and do not represent the municipal party committee and the city. The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee will study the problems of the Blue Sky Group in the future! ”

Zhao Fenfang thought for a while: "Secretary Liu, Secretary Qi, if this is the case, I suggest that the Standing Committee be convened immediately to study it!" If I were to go and talk to the workers' comrades now, I would still be the point I had at the press conference! Reform is not a dinner party, there is not so much politeness to say, the blue sky group pus has to break its head, always go bankrupt, always have to act according to the laws of the market, this is no way! ”

Quansheng and Liu Chongtian were stunned, they obviously didn't expect Zhao Fenfang to be so stubborn and arrogant.

After a long time, Liu Chongtian said to Quan Sheng: "Lao Qi, since there is no way to do it, it seems that we have to hold a Standing Committee to find a way, what do you think?" Is this meeting going to be held immediately according to Comrade Zhao Fenfang's opinion? Inform the Standing Committee now? ”

Quan Sheng slapped the table and yelled at Zhao Fenfang: "Zhao Fenfang, do you want to take my army?" Can this Standing Committee solve the problem of Blue Sky Group immediately? More than 6,000 workers stopped production, sat in the square, and asked you to take back the you said, and you just ignored it! Comrade Shanben rushed from the hospital with a fever to talk to the workers, fainted at the scene, Comrade Chongtian and I waited for you for three hours, and this is the result! Are you Zhao Fenfang or not a party member? And is there a little bit of party spirit! Do you have! ”

Zhao Fenfang said calmly: "Party spirit is principle, and I can't make concessions on issues of principle!" Unless the non-committee makes a resolution to cover the puss of the Blue Sky Group and hold up the bottom of the Blue Sky Group, otherwise, I will never withdraw my own views! In addition, Comrade Quansheng, I also have to remind you, please use civilized language, what is? Personal attacks! ”

Quan Sheng was helpless, and admitted his mistake again and again: "Okay, good, Comrade Zhao Fenfang, I said something wrong, my language is uncivilized, I apologize to you for review!" After that, he waved his hand and said loudly, "Then let's open the Standing Committee, open overnight, and if you don't get a result, no one should step out of the municipal party committee building!" I still don't believe that this Jingzhou under the Communist Party of China is going to change! ”

Zhao Fenfang sneered: "What should be changed is to change, no one has the absolute power to say anything!" Yiyantang, the world, I think it must be bad! I hope that the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee can set an example for democratic decision-making! Everyone is open to express their opinions: who is responsible for the current situation of Blue Sky Group? What should Blue Sky Group do in the future......"

Liu Chongtian interrupted Zhao Fenfang's words: "Comrade Zhao Fenfang, I remind you of the fact that more than 6,000 workers are still sitting in Moon Square, and the political situation of stability and unity in Jingzhou has been seriously threatened. My opinion is that the Standing Committee convened on an ad hoc basis will only discuss one thing, and that is to ask you to retract your speech at the press conference in the form of an organizational decision! Lao Qi, what do you see? ”

Quan Sheng understood, and immediately said: "I completely agree with Comrade Chongtian's opinion, so let's do it!" ”

At 0:20 a.m. on 24 June, the Standing Committee of the Jingzhou City CPC Committee held a meeting in the first conference room of the city party committee, and except for a propaganda minister who was meeting in Beijing, all the members of the Standing Committee at home were present, and even Zhou Shanben asked his secretary to take part in this extraordinary emergency standing committee meeting while carrying a salt water bottle and taking a needle, and at the meeting he gave a statement on the occurrence of the 23 June incident and the relevant facts. The Standing Committee members unanimously criticized Zhao Fenfang, and the situation at the meeting was one-sided, and a resolution was passed 40 minutes later for Zhao Fenfang to retract her speech.

Zhao Fenfang was really tenacious enough, and after the resolution was passed, she still made a final speech, and said with tears in her eyes: "...... Comrades, let me ask you, a mayor can't speak on behalf of the city, so who can speak on behalf of the city? Blue Sky Group is just an enterprise, if a mayor's policy guidance speech on the enterprise has to be withdrawn, what will I do as a mayor in the future? Is it necessary to hold a standing committee in everything and everywhere? Reform and opening up to this day, is it feasible to still use the party as a substitute for government? Are our individual leading comrades too domineering? Comrades, can you please give me a little understanding? ”

Liu Chongtian retorted grimly: "Comrade Zhao Fenfang, you are wrong! I don't think it's a question of replacing government with the party! Blue Sky Group is not an ordinary enterprise, it is a focus of major social and political contradictions in Jingzhou, a place where a major corruption case occurred, and the attention of the cadres and masses of the city and even the cadres and masses of the whole province. The problem of Blue Sky Group is not a simple economic problem, but a political problem involving the stability of the social situation in Jingzhou. The facts on Moon Square have proved that it was not someone else, but you, Zhao Fenfang, who single-handedly provoked an avoidable social conflict! Are you politically naïve or do you have any intentions, my comrades and I don't know yet, we only see this fact! Shocking facts! ”

Zhou Shanben also expressed his attitude and was very emotional: "Mayor Zhao, I said two points: first, there is nothing wrong with separating the party and the government, but the leadership of the party must be adhered to, and major issues must be collectively studied and decided by the party committee; Second, the city's decision-making cannot be the mayor's personal decision-making, such a major matter, the office meeting has not discussed, I, the executive deputy mayor who is responsible for the division of labor, don't know, you announced it publicly, isn't it a bit too domineering? There's no way not to cause chaos! ”

Secretary General Qian of the Municipal Party Committee took it up and said: "Comrades, there was a report on the scene just now, and the worker comrades just put up a new slogan: 'Caesar's to Caesar, and the people's to the people', I think the meaning is very clear, Bai Keshu and their affairs belong to Bai Keshu, and the account workers who are bankrupt of the group do not recognize it!" Mayor Zhao, no matter what you think in your heart, social contradictions are always provoked! ”

Quan Sheng looked at his watch: "Okay, comrades, it's not too early, the most important thing now is to solve the problem!" Now that the Standing Committee has made a resolution, I don't think we should discuss it anymore and implement it immediately! Secretary-General Qian, you and Comrade Zhao Fenfang have discussed it, drafted a draft, and asked Comrade Zhao Fenfang to seize the time to broadcast in Moon Square and strive to end the sit-in in the square before dawn! ”

Zhao Fenfang stood up: "Comrade Quansheng, what if I don't make this radio speech?" ”

Quan Sheng glanced at Liu Chongtian and said word by word: "If you don't make this broadcast speech, I will immediately report to the provincial party committee and Comrade Zheng Bingyi in the name of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and suggest that the provincial party committee take emergency measures to immediately remove the mayor of Jingzhou!" ”

Zhao Fenfang turned her face to Liu Chongtian: "Secretary Liu, what is your opinion as the leader of the task force that hosted the Blue Sky corruption case?" The province appointed you to assist Comrade Quanquan Sheng in presiding over the work of Jingzhou, and did not let you and Comrade Quansheng collude? It's obviously a problem caused by corruption, but now it's all on my head! Don't you think that the secretary of the municipal party committee, who is responsible for corruption, should be replaced? ”

Liu Chongtian looked at Zhao Fenfang coldly: "You can go and talk to the provincial party committee and Comrade Bingyi about this, and even report to the central government, including the problem of me and Comrade Quansheng being in collusion." However, you must immediately make a radio speech in accordance with the decision of the Standing Committee! Once again, I warn you, this comrade, has come to the precipice, it is very dangerous, and you may fall to pieces at any time! ”

The atmosphere at the meeting was extremely tense, and such a tense Standing Committee had never been seen in the history of the Gyeongju Party. Back then, Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian had many contradictions, and they reached the point of one city, two systems, but they did not make trouble at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to such an extent.

After a long time, Zhao Fenfang sighed and said with a tearful smile: "Okay, I reserve my personal opinion and obey the organization's decision!" However, I hope that the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee can arrange a discussion on the problems of the Blue Sky Group as soon as possible, and the responsibilities should be clarified, the lid should be lifted, and the problems should be solved, and the political principles should not be replaced by political compromises, let alone run counter to the spirit of reform! Before leaving the conference table, he said again, "For our reform cause, I, Zhao Fenfang, am ready to bet on my life, not afraid of breaking my bones!" ”

At 2:20 a.m. on 24 June, Zhao Fenfang, deputy secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal CPC Committee and mayor of Jingzhou City, was forced to take the draft of the speech that had been carefully examined and approved by Quansheng, Liu Chongtian, and the members of the Standing Committee present at the meeting, and slowly walked into the second broadcasting room of the Jingzhou People's Broadcasting Station, and delivered an emergency broadcast speech to the 6,000 employees of the Blue Sky Group and the cadres and masses of the whole city who were sit-in in Moon Square with a long-wave ××× and an FM ××× megahertz...... The radio script has a total of more than 1,200 words, but Zhao Fenfang read it for more than ten minutes, and when she read the script, tears couldn't help but fall to the ground again and again. It's a great shame, a mayor who is only one step away from the number one position, a political strong woman who goes straight to the top of the central power, has been brought to this point by two men who have been politically dim!

When she walked out of the broadcast studio, Zhao Fenfang thought sadly and angrily: Then let's have a life-and-death battle at the next Standing Committee!

Zhao Fenfang's broadcast script has been replayed over and over again, and the broadcast and replay have worked, and by dawn, the more than 6,000 employees gathered in Moon Square gradually dispersed, and the 6.23 group interview incident finally disappeared in a calm and peaceful glow...... Quan Sheng, Liu Chongtian and all the members of the Standing Committee, who had not slept all night, breathed a sigh of relief.
