Chapter 60: A Crisis of Confidence
In this commotion, everyone at the meeting looked at each other, and everyone was in danger, for fear that they would be next. If it is rectified according to state regulations, none of the people here are innocent, and which one has not been corrupt? It's just that Chen Guohua can't kill them all, and those who are corrupt but really do things for people are still forgivable.
At this point, Chen Guohua did not name anyone to arrest, and made a final summary of the meeting: "Those who were arrested were because of their desires and violated state regulations, and those who were not arrested do not mean that you did not make mistakes, but I have no evidence." Therefore, I will not pursue it more, it is to give you a chance to reform your ways, from now on, think twice, if you want to break the law and discipline, you must first think about the fate of the three of them, do more practical things for the people, and be a good cadre of the people. ”
Yang Xiangrui listened attentively, and when Chen Guohua finished speaking, he applauded loudly, and everyone at the meeting also hurriedly applauded, some of their expressions were very exaggerated, and even shed tears that I don't know whether they were ashamed or moved.
"Next, I would like to invite Mayor Yang to speak and talk about the next step." Chen Guohua shifted the topic to Yang Xiangrui without being salty.
Yang Xiangrui nodded politely and began to talk a lot of habitual long nonsense, which is easy to hear on such occasions. It is nothing more than praising the motherland's strength and prosperity and the party's principles, which lead us to strength and victory. As cadres, we must play a good leading role.
I was about to fall asleep after this nonsense, and Yang Xiangrui began to say the point: "This time Director Chen's arrival is not simply to check our political achievements, but to have his responsibility, all departments must fully cooperate, no need to ask me for instructions, if anyone delays the big thing for this reason, Director Chen and I will definitely punish him severely." ”
This is a gesture of goodwill to Chen Guohua, which also means that the two of them have a tacit alliance. You come to check on yours, I will fully cooperate with you, as long as you don't trouble me, then it's OK. When you're done, it's time to go, and we don't have anything to do with it.
He didn't dare to bribe Chen Guohua for two reasons. First, if you take too little, you will definitely not look down on Jingguan, and you will inevitably be humiliated and self-defeating when the time comes. The second is that he took too much, which means that he must have embezzled a lot, and as a Beijing official, you can't justify it if you don't punish him.
Chen Guohua didn't speak again after that, as if acquiescing to his approach, which gave Yang Xiangrui a reassurance.
After the meeting, before Chen Guohua left, he told me to go to him for a while, and I agreed, and he left with Yang Xiangrui.
Half an hour later, I received a call from him, he had returned to the guest house, and my grandson and I immediately took a taxi back. In his room, the blade of the knife was also there.
Chen Guohua motioned for us to close the door, asked me to sit down with Lao Sun, and said: "Everyone has seen the situation today, Yang Xiangrui is like the emperor of the soil here, and the officials here are very afraid of him, and it is not easy for us to attack him, so this matter must be kept secret." ”
When he said this, he stared at Lao Sun. Lao Sun said very unconvinced: "How can it be so powerful as you say, Brother Yang is obviously still blaming himself, although it is wrong for him to escape punishment like this, but you are not unagreed?" ”
Lao Sun can actually see the open and secret fighting in the officialdom, but his heart is a little biased towards Yang Xiangrui, and he took his money, so that he doesn't believe that he is a bad person, and at this time he also spoke out to protect him, which makes me even more worried.
Chen Guohua smiled bitterly: "Even if I agree, will he be punished?" That will only put us in danger and make him wary of us, Uncle Sun, you shouldn't be unable to see it. In addition, do you think those officials who were defeated by me will live quietly until the day of judgment? ”
Lao Sun said: "What do you mean by this, just now you yourself said that they are very afraid of Yang Xiangrui, so they should not dare to confess him, right?" ”
"Having said that, if you really follow them to investigate, Yang Xiangrui will definitely be involved. And Yang Xiangrui is scheming and does not allow them to threaten him, so all three of them will die quickly. Chen Guohua asserted that there was no speculation or uncertainty.
Lao Sun shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, if he does that, it means that he is stupid, stupid enough to push himself out to make people suspicious, it doesn't matter if these three people die one or two, if all three die, isn't it selling himself?" ”
Chen Guohua shook his head and said: "He is not stupid, but domineering, he wants to show that the life and death of people here are under his control, and it is also a demonstration against us. ”
Lao Sun didn't believe it: "What you said is just your guess, when I am a child?" I'll take your word for it. ”
Chen Guohua smiled lightly: "Since this is the case, then we will wait and see, if what I said is true, then I also ask Uncle Sun to put the overall situation first, get rid of Yang Xiangrui for us, and ensure the peace of the party." ”
Lao Sun thought for a while and said, "If it's true, let's talk about it, I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first." With that, he got up and left, as if in deep thought.
I said to Chen Guohua: "Tomorrow night is the Midyear Festival, why bother with that effort, he can't survive tomorrow." ”
Chen Guohua said thoughtfully: "Who knows if you can live it." What we have to do is to let Uncle Sun change his opinion of Yang Xiangrui in the two days he is here, otherwise he will help Yang Xiangrui deal with the ghosts tomorrow night, so what should we do? ”
This is also the fact that Lao Sun is not good at anything, but he takes people's favors too seriously. Even if the other party is a little bad, but if it is good for him, he will repay it, Yang Xiangrui is afraid that he didn't expect it, just a small bribe, he pulled Lao Sun to him, and now we will do our best to destroy his image.
Lao Sun didn't show up all afternoon, which made me feel that the neighborhood was a lot quieter, but then I didn't feel good, if he secretly ran out to report the news, what would it be.
Therefore, I took the initiative to go to him for the first time, and when he opened the door, he was on the phone, smiling very happily. I was relieved to see him and motioned for him to continue fighting, and I sat next to him.
After listening for a while, I realized that the person on the other end of the phone should be his Xiaocui. The two of them are like glue, and Lao Sun shows his affection in front of me, which reminds me of Liu Mengqi who is far away in the capital.
I said in my heart that he was on the phone, so it was better for me to call Liu Mengqi first and tell me what I missed, but after looking for it, I found that the phone was missing, so I went back to the room to look for it, but I didn't see it.
When I was trying to remember where the phone was, Lao Sun came over, and the probe came over and said, "Oh, give you the phone." ”
I was stunned for a moment, stretched out my hand to take it, and realized that the mobile phone that Lao Sun was holding just now was mine. I was very depressed, and he quietly took my phone to call his old lover, which was too inauthentic.
He sat aside and asked me without moving: "You never took the initiative to look for me, why did you look for me?" ”
I shook my head and said, "It's nothing, I just want to talk to you, it's too boring to be alone." ”
Lao Sun stood up with a swish, and said angrily: "Don't pretend, I know you don't believe me, you're afraid that I will go and report to him, big nephew, big nephew, you are so disappointed in me, since you came here, you don't trust me at all, what kind of spell have you fallen into?" Will Lao Sun do anything that puts you in danger? ”
I defended, "I didn't, that's not what I meant...... ”
Lao Sun immediately said: "You don't need to say more, since you don't believe me, then I don't need to say anything." You have grown up and have your own attention, my grandson can no longer help you, I will go back tomorrow, live my life, and take care of yourself in the future! ”
"Uncle Sun, are you leaving?" I was shocked, and I had mixed feelings.
Lao Sun snorted, and said in a rare serious color: "That's right, I was afraid that you would be in danger before, because you are still young and not deeply involved in the world, and you need me to give you a reference." Now that I see you grow up and know how to guard against anyone, I understand that you don't need me anymore, I'm too old to stand the toss, and I can't live much longer, and for the rest of the time, I want to relax and spend the rest of my days with Xiaocui. ”
"However, Huang Xiaomao's matter has not been solved yet, isn't it very dangerous for you to go back like this?" I said worriedly.
Lao Sun shook his head and said: "Then it's not something you have to worry about, I have my own way, even if it is death, I can die with Xiaocui, I am willing." ”
I instantly understood that Lao Sun was not angry this time, but disappointed in me, maybe my two concealments hurt his heart, which made us invisibly more distance.
There was silence for a while, and neither of us spoke, and then I spoke: "Uncle Sun, it's my fault, I beg you to stay, at least after dealing with Huang Xiaomao's matter, I won't stop you if you want to leave, do you think it's okay?" ”
Lao Sun said: "Stay, isn't it suspected by you?" When my grandson is old, can't he tell the difference between good and evil? Do you really think I can't see Yang Xiangrui's personality? Ever since I entered his villa, I have understood the resentment in that room. But do you know why I'm still with him? ”
"Why?" I asked cooperatively.
Lao Sun said solemnly: "Because this person is not simple, he gives me a feeling that it is not simple, I don't think you are his opponent, including me." If we offend him, we may not be able to get out of here, so I will try to be good with him, not evil. ”
I wondered, "Why?" What's so good about him? Or is he a master of deep hiding? ”
Lao Sun said: "No, it's just a feeling, my grandson's feeling is very accurate, this person gives me an incomprehensible profundity, don't look at him on the surface, it's all an illusion, maybe it's not impossible for a master to hide in the city." ”
