In the end, the terrible thing did not happen, and two days later, Zhang Chaoyang finally woke up and picked up a life from the hands of death. Another piece of news is that with the efforts of Li Jiangbei and others, the radical emotions surging among the students of Jiangbei University have also been quelled, and the university announced that the students of Jiangbei University are currently stable and in good order, and are actively responding to the call of the university and devoting themselves to the relocation work.

The first meeting of the research team was held in Jinjiang Hotel. The meeting was presided over by Feng Peiming, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), and it was regarded as a welcome meeting and a meeting together. Li Jiangbei found that Feng Peiming's face was much worse than two days ago, his eye circles were a little dark and swollen, and his hair, which had always been combed very brightly, gave people an unprecedented messy feeling. Sitting next to him was Sheng Anyi, the leader of the research team. Sheng An still has a serious expression, and the impression left by this face on Li Jiangbei is always so serious. He is a rigorous and daring person who is good at being more truthful, which Li Jiangbei admires very much. However, Sheng An still came this time, Li Jiangbei felt a little strange, it was said that the road was blocked that day, Sheng An should still take action, two days have passed, Sheng An has remained silent. It is reported that in two days, he met with three people, Pang Binlai, secretary of the provincial party committee, Feng Peiming, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Xia Wentian, a veteran leader. It is said that among the three people, he talked with Xia Wentian for the longest time, and the appointment place was actually at Xia Wentian's house.

This is even more strange, Sheng An is still in Jiangbei, and the first thing that comes to mind is Xia Wentian! Thinking so, Li Jiangbei set his eyes on Xia Wentian. Today's meeting, Xia Wentian came early, before the meeting was held, Li Jiangbei chatted with him briefly in the reception room, although there were not many words, Li Jiangbei keenly captured a message, Xia Lao was in a good mood, and the matter of his son-in-law Kong Qingyun did not affect him at all.

A strong old man. Li Jiangbei looked at Xia Lao with admiration, and it happened that Xia Lao was also looking at him. Four eyes paired, Xia Lao smiled gently, Li Jiangbei was encouraged, put away the messy thoughts in his heart, and began to listen attentively.

Feng Peiming's voice was slightly low, secretly hoarse, probably because he hadn't rested well in the past two days. He first introduced the eight comrades of the research group to the participants, and then introduced Li Jiangbei and the other three to Sheng An, and then talked about the importance of this investigation. Li Jiangbei listened attentively to a few words and found that Feng Peiming's speech was different from the last time, he did not mention the term "education industrialization," nor did he specifically emphasize the new village of Zhabei higher education, but only gave a general overview of the achievements made by Jiangbei's higher education cause in recent years, and then talked about the existing problems.

It is rare for Feng Peiming to openly talk about issues at the meeting, and to talk about them as a key point. Among the high-level leaders in Jiangbei, Feng Peiming has always been the most optimistic, since he became vice governor, he likes to speak in a high-profile manner, and in the years when Zhabei Higher Education New Village was established, the tone was even higher. Li Jiangbei has the impression that Feng Peiming is a person who can render ordinary events passionately. Today, he is uncharacteristically singing low-key.

Li Jiangbei listened and took notes, Feng Peiming's speech today is tantamount to setting the tone for them three times, how to cooperate with the national research team to carry out work, what problems to start with in the investigation, and how to seek solutions, all of which must follow the spirit of today's speech. Remember, Li Jiangbei raised his head in confusion, Feng Peiming was talking about difficulties and deficiencies on the surface, but in his words, he always emphasized one point, that is, the achievements of Jiangbei's higher education cause are the mainstream, which is obvious to all. As for the existence of these problems, they are inevitable in development, and besides, he has said so much, and what Li Jiangbei wrote down in his notebook are all small problems, which are common problems all over the country, such as funds, such as concepts, such as the lack of matching policies, the imbalance of educational resources, and so on, but none of them have been mentioned. There is no mention of sensitive topics such as Yangtze University and Jiangbei City College. That is to say, Feng Peiming is greeting the research team, no matter how you research, you can't lose it at all, that is, emphasizing the mainstream, emphasizing the achievements, even if you insist on picking thorns, you can only pick thorns with universality, and no one should touch the places that should not be touched! Li Jiangbei set his eyes on Sheng An, he believed that it was impossible for Sheng An not to hear the meaning of Feng Peiming's words. It's a pity that Sheng An still didn't seem to react at all, and still sat on the rostrum expressionlessly.

After Feng Peiming finished speaking, it was Sheng An's turn to still give instructions, and there was a round of applause at the venue, and Li Jiangbei also applauded. After the drumming, he pricked up his ears and paid attention to how Sheng An still started. It is a pity that Sheng An still only said a few polite words on this day, to the effect that this time, we must carry out our work under the leadership of the local party committee, fully respect the opinions of the local CPPCC, study with an open mind, communicate extensively, and strive to do our work meticulously and in a down-to-earth manner.

Li Jiangbei felt a layer of disappointment in his heart, in his memory, Sheng An still rarely said empty words, clichés, his speech was just like his academic articles, concise and to the point, to the point, how could it be today......

He gently put down his pen and glanced at the venue, the atmosphere in the venue was solemn, and everyone's faces were dyed with a layer of mystery. Including Professor Liu, who loves to complain, he also looks very serious today.

Am my nerves too tense and too eager to put the problem on the table? Or did the top brass unify the tone before the meeting? Li Jiangbei reflected and wondered, but he missed what Sheng An said later.

Xia Wentian did not speak that day, and according to the usual practice, the veteran comrades should make a few remarks at this kind of meeting, show their attitude, say a few good words for the new team, and finally say some requirements or expectations. Li Jiangbei also wanted to listen to Xia Wentian's speech, and he thought that he might be able to capture something from Xia Wentian's mouth. It's a pity that Feng Peiming, who presided over the meeting, was not polite to Xia Lao, and when Professor Lin of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee finished making a statement, Feng Peiming announced very simply: "This is the end of the meeting, and the meeting is adjourned." ”

Li Jiangbei's gaze froze on Xia Lao's face in surprise for a few seconds, he dared to conclude that Xia Lao was also unprepared for this dismissal, he was about to reach out to take the microphone, Feng Peiming simply blocked his hand back. Xia Wentian's eyes trembled a few times, and finally disappeared gloomily.

Fortunately, Sheng An still talked to Xia Lao quickly, so that Xia Lao's embarrassment was covered up.

When leaving the venue, a voice sounded in Li Jiangbei's heart: Feng Peiming was already afraid of Xia Lao!

As soon as Li Jiangbei returned home that day, he heard terrible news: Kong Qingyun had been "shuanggui", which was a decision made by the provincial party committee an hour ago!

"Is the information reliable?" He asked the frightened assistant Xiao Su.

"Reliable, it was said by Vice Governor Zhou's secretary himself, and he only left 10 minutes ago." Xiao Su said.

"Yang Li has been here?" Li Jiangbei asked in disbelief.

"Secretary Yang came to you behind Vice Governor Zhou's back, I heard that ......"

"What did you hear?"

"The provincial party committee has also taken measures against Vice Governor Zhou, and I am afraid that Vice Governor Zhou will not be able to preside over the work in the near future."

"It's also 'shuanggui'?" Li Jiangbei stood up.

"Secretary Yang didn't say it, judging from his face, it is very likely that 'shuanggui' is very likely." Xiao Su is usually a person who doesn't talk about politics, but today his reaction is very sensitive. It seems that people who don't talk about politics just haven't encountered the politics they care about, and once they do, they are more sensitive than anyone else.

"How is this possible?" Li Jiangbei spoke heavily and sat down in his chair.

Regarding Kong Qingyun's acceptance of bribes, it has been spread in Jiangbei University, there is no way, today's university is no longer an academic pure land, there are in society, there are all in the university, although the above has repeatedly requested, you can't talk about it indiscriminately, but how can you block the mouth of so many good things? Li Jiangbei stays in the office every day, and he can hear gossip from different aspects, some of which are exaggerated, saying that Kong Qingyun not only makes a lot of money, but also plays with women. There is a British female teacher in the Department of Foreign Languages of Jiangbei University, she is good-looking, according to the aesthetic standards of Chinese people, she is very sexy, with big breasts and beautiful buttocks. Kong Qingyun has a good impression of this foreign female professor, and he has close contacts, and these days, the scandal about Kong Qingyun and this associate professor named Martha has spread all over the campus, and even several of his assistants have to discuss it from time to time.

Li Jiangbei thought about it for a while, the more he thought about it, the more dangerous he felt, intuitively, he still couldn't believe that Kong Qingyun would take bribes, about the priceless calligraphy and painting, he inquired from the side, although the clues were not too clear, but he already had a hunch that there was a hand hidden behind his back, waiting for an opportunity to frame Kong Qingyun.

Who the hell is this and why? Li Jiangbei couldn't give an answer for a while, I remember that when Zhou Zhengqun asked him to move back to school, he hinted: "Qingyun, this person is too careless, you are more experienced than him, and you move back to school is equivalent to having an extra pair of eyes." ”

One more pair of eyes! It's a pity that these eyes haven't discovered the truth yet, and Zhou Zhengqun was implicated.

No, I can't sit back and wait, at this time, I should take the initiative to do something! Thinking so, he grabbed the phone and called Meng He. As soon as the phone was connected, Meng He was crying over there: "Professor Li, how can this be, how can this be?" ”

"Meng He, don't worry, I just heard the news."

"How can they do this, Professor Li, I have already confessed to the organization, this matter has nothing to do with Zhengqun, Zhengqun he doesn't know, he is wronged......" Meng He must have been overly frightened and spoke incoherently, but the word "confession" still grabbed his heart.

"Meng He, what are you talking about, confess, why can't I understand?"

Meng He choked his voice over there and said, "Professor, I'm ...... I...... It won't hurt Zhengqun, right? ”

Li Jiangbei couldn't sit still anymore, something must have happened on Meng He's side, Zhou Zhengqun was isolated and investigated, maybe it had something to do with Meng He. He said a few words to Xiao Su and immediately rushed to Meng He's house.

Although Li Jiangbei is an ordinary university professor, he has a relatively close relationship with officialdom, and some of these relationships existed before, and some of them were established after he became a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. With Zhou Zhengqun's family, it is an old relationship, Zhou Zhengqun's first wife Chu Chu and Li Jiangbei's wife are classmates, the two are very good, but unfortunately Chu Chu died and left the world prematurely. After Zhou Zhengqun married Meng He, although the relationship between the two families was a little weaker, they became closer at work.

Half an hour later, Li Jiangbei rushed to Meng He's house, and as soon as he opened the door, Meng He grabbed his hand: "I'm afraid, Professor Li, I'm really afraid." Can you tell me what they're going to do with the positive group? ”

Li Jiangbei patiently comforted: "Meng He, don't panic first, the provincial party committee is just investigating Vice Governor Zhou, and it will be fine." ”

"Investigation?" Meng He's eyes widened, "Why should they restrict Zhengqun's freedom, Zhengqun is a member of the Standing Committee and a vice governor, they shouldn't be like this!" Meng He's voice was almost hysterical, this was a woman who couldn't stand the storm.

"Director Meng, this has nothing to do with what kind of official Vice Governor Zhou is, the question is whether he has ...... or not" Li Jiangbei endured a few endurances and didn't say the word "crime".

As soon as she heard Li Jiangbei call her official title, Meng He's face turned green, and she sat back on the sofa weakly.

Li Jiangbei suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and sat down opposite Meng He. I can't tell why, he has never felt good about Zhou Zhengqun's second wife, although Meng He is definitely excellent among women, beautiful, virtuous, and knowledgeable, and he is a true love for Zhou Zhengqun. But he always had a pimple in his heart, and it seemed that good things would stay on Chu Chu forever and never come back.

After sitting silently for a moment, Li Jiangbei pondered his words and said: "Director Meng, now is not the time to panic, we should calm down and think about what we can do for Vice Governor Zhou." ”

"Don't call me Director, okay?" Meng He looked at Li Jiangbei with tears in his eyes, looking extremely helpless, these days, Meng He spends his days in fear, as soon as the phone rings at home, a thought will flashed nervously in his mind: Is it a call from the Commission for Discipline Inspection? Although she reminded herself again and again in her mind to prepare for the worst, when the terrible news really came, she still became dispossessed. Now what she can rely on may be one Li Jiangbei, if Li Jiangbei doesn't help her, Meng Hezhen will be completely helpless.

A bitter smile flashed on Li Jiangbei's face: "Okay, Meng He, what's the matter with the confession you just said?" ”

Meng He didn't seem to hear it, her mind kept wandering, from the time Yang Li called to now, she seemed to be in mid-air, fluttering and flickering, unable to settle down. Li Jiangbei asked again, and Meng He suddenly came back to his senses.

"Calligraphy and painting, Kong Qingyun sent a calligraphy and painting to my family, and I ...... it"

"Qingyun sent Vice Governor Zhou's calligraphy and paintings?" Li Jiangbei was stunned, this thing is really new, when did Qingyun learn this set?

"What did you do with it?" Li Jiangbei asked.

"I ...... I...... I handed it over to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Meng He gritted his teeth and finally told the truth.

"What!" Li Jiangbei was shocked! No wonder things change suddenly, no wonder the provincial party committee took special measures against Vice Governor Zhou, it turned out -

"Am I doing something wrong?" At this time, Meng He realized that Zhengqun's accident was related to the calligraphy and painting, her heart suddenly cold, and her voice was shivering.

"When did Qingyun send it, and when did you hand it over to the Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Li Jiangbei had already heard the change in Meng He's title for Kong Qingyun, but he didn't have the heart to think about it.

"President Kong took the painting two months before he ran for the president of Jiangbei University, saying that it was given by a painter, but my family didn't care about it, and accepted it negligently."

Li Jiangbei stared at Meng He in surprise, he wondered in his heart, how could Meng He, who had no master of the six gods, become sober as soon as he talked about Kong Qingyun?

He smiled bitterly, and then asked, "Did Vice Governor Zhou ask you to hand it in?" ”

Meng He shook his head, returned to a state of distraction, and told the unpleasant incident with Zhou Zhengqun that day because of calligraphy and painting, Li Jiangbei listened to it and knew what was going on. Meng He was afraid that Vice Governor Zhou would be affected by Kong Qingyun, and wanted to change from passive to active.

Can it become?

"Who did you give it to?" His voice suddenly became stern.

"Secretary Jin Ziyang."

"Him?"

Li Jiangbei really couldn't laugh or cry, there is such a woman in the world, even if she hands over calligraphy and painting, it is not good to hand it over to anyone, but she has to hand it over to Jin Ziyang, doesn't she know that Jin Ziyang and Vice Governor Zhou ......

Forget it, it's useless to think about this, it's already obvious that the problem lies in the calligraphy and painting, Kong Qingyun and Vice Governor Zhou have let the calligraphy and painting harm!

Thinking of this, Li Jiangbei's heart swelled with a layer of relief, much calmer than when he first heard the news, if it was just such a little question, it would soon be clarified. He believes that Kong Qingyun will never give gifts for the election of president, and Vice Governor Zhou will not give Kong Qingyun the position of president of Jiangbei University because of a calligraphy and painting.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Jianxing came in in a panic, and as soon as he entered the room, he said to Meng He, "Mom, did you betray Principal Kong?" ”

"Betrayal?" Meng He stood up abruptly and shouted at his son, "What are you talking nonsense about? ”

"Am I talking nonsense? The whole school was in turmoil. Mom, what is the principal's family sorry for you, why did you fall into the ground? ”

"Hike!" Meng He's face changed suddenly, and she probably felt that her son had stabbed her in front of outsiders, so she changed her previous gentleness and scolded Zhou Jianxing loudly.

Li Jiangbei witnessed this scene and drew a question mark on Meng He again in his heart. Afraid that their mother and son would quarrel again, he got up and said to Zhou Jianxing: "What is the school yelling about, how can this matter spread to the school?" ”

Only then did Zhou Jianxing put away the resentment on his face and greeted Li Jiangbei politely. Li Jiangbei pulled him to sit down and asked unhurriedly: "Tell me, what's going on with the school?" ”

"I don't know, anyway, my classmates know."

"What do you know?"

"My dad and Principal Kong were both 'shuanggui'."

"Jianxing, you are the president of the student union, you must be discerning in case of trouble, you can't believe this at will."

"I don't believe it, but what about the facts?" Zhou Jianxing said, his eyes were on Meng He again, and Meng He turned his head to avoid his son's gaze.

"I don't understand what's good for you to do this." Zhou Jianxing was still blaming his mother, Li Jiangbei put his shoulder around him and said, "Jianxing, don't talk to your mother like this, your mother is doing the right thing, since the problem is in the calligraphy and painting, you should find out." ”

"What to check, it's obviously an ordinary gift, why should it be said to be a bribe?"

Speaking of this, Li Jiangbei didn't want to say more, whether it was black or white, the organization would eventually have a saying, I believe that black is not red, and red is not black. Others bribed Thaksin, Kong Qingyun and Vice Governor Zhou couldn't do it!

He comforted Zhou Jianxing and encouraged him to show courage to face this difficult problem. When he got up to say goodbye, Zhou Jianxing suddenly said: "Professor Li, I suspect that someone in Jiang University has impure motives and deliberately creates trouble. ”

"Where to start?"

"Just this afternoon, the relationship between Xia Keke and Principal Kong spread in the school."

Li Jiangbei was stunned again, but he tried his best to control his emotions and smiled faintly: "What's new about this, they are originally father and daughter, there is no need to hide it." With that, he heard his heart ring.

Zhou Jianxing mistakenly thought that Li Jiangbei really didn't care, so he breathed a sigh of relief, his brows relaxed, and he said with relief: "Thank you, Professor Li, I thought so too, and on the way back just now, I persuaded her." ”

Meng He, who had been silent, suddenly interjected: "Are you still in contact with her?" ”
