Smoke rose from the study. The ashtray on the desk is full of cigarette butts. Under the lamp. Qiao Ruihua rubbed his forehead. It's a bit of a burnt look. He doesn't usually smoke much. Occasionally draw a few cigarettes for socializing. Available today. But the smoke is one after the other. The two thick eyebrows are locked together. There seems to be some knot that can't be untied.

Originally, I saw Lin Chendui trapped in the quagmire of Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant. Qiao Ruihua was very happy. A big mayor is actually jealous of his subordinates. It's unbelievable to say it. But that's exactly what happened. Lin Chenwan was determined not to buy his account. He really didn't take Lin Chen's twilight. Removed. The personnel power is in the hands of Yang Weiguo. Undoubtedly. I really want to put forward such a bill. In the end, the only one who can't get off the stage is himself. Besides. Lin Chenwei's work in the high-tech zone is remarkable. Couldn't fault anything. He can do it. At most, it's for small shoes. It can't be too obvious yet. lest others say that they are not measuring enough.

This time I finally felt that the opportunity had come. Qiao Ruihua was full of energy and prepared to do a big job. It's best to take the opportunity to knock Lin Chendui to the ground. And then step on one foot again. It will be difficult for him to turn over forever. But at this time. A phone call wiped out all his good moods.

The phone was his old subordinate in the Ruijiang Nanqu. Yin Lixing, then deputy mayor of Nanqu, called. Yin Lixing can be said to be his ironcore. It's like the relationship between Lin Chenwan and Lu Mingqiang. It has always been a common advance and retreat, and both prosperity and destruction. And when he left Nanqu at the beginning. It also took a lot of effort to promote Yin Lixing. He served as the deputy mayor of Nanqu in charge of industry.

It's not that he doesn't want to let go. It is the person closest to him who can be arranged in this position to reassure him. Because there's so much to cover. The lid can't be lifted. Even if Ruijiang is in the back garden of the Su family, he can't be careless.

But not so long ago. Yin Lixing called him in a panic. Tell him a not-so-good news. That is the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the National Development and Reform Commission. It seems that preparations are being made to carry out a thorough investigation of the original restructuring of the radio plant.

As soon as I heard the news. Qiao Ruihua was suddenly a little flustered. Although he still comforted Yin Lixing casually: "Lixing." Don't worry too much. The sky won't fall......"

Undoubtedly. In the restructuring of the Nanqu Radio Factory. Qiao Ruihua played a very disgraceful role. It was under his leadership. A radio plant worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It was acquired by a company called Guanghui Investment for almost no penny. Not only did the local government not profit from this. Rather, it should be used as a guarantee. Loan 30 million for the newly established electronics factory. As a start-up capital for the reproduction of electronics factories. And the debt of the radio plant is entirely borne by the government.

This kind of ridiculous scheme. With the help of Qiao Ruihua. Unexpectedly, the discussion of the Standing Committee of the Nanqu was passed in a grand manner. Of course. After the deed is done. From Qiao Ruihua below. Officials large and small in Ruijiang almost all got a piece of the pie.

In fact. Such a big deal. To say that there is no wind in the province at all. That's impossible. Qiao Ruihua is not afraid. After all, he is Su Hongyuan's person. Even if Su Hongyuan has raised the capital now. The influence in Ruijiang is still unparalleled. It depends on the owner to beat the dog. There were not many people who dared to touch him. But now. The Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the National Development and Reform Commission have to turn over old accounts. It made him seem to smell something unusual.

Things certainly don't stand up to scrutiny. Even if Qiao Ruihua made a big splash at the beginning. Claiming that the radio plant is an extremely heavy burden. The city government can no longer afford it. Although the conditions of the other party are harsh. But it is not lost to revitalize the factory. A solution to the problem of the radio plant once and for all. I really need to check it out. It's all like a beautiful bubble. One poke and it breaks.

And what made Qiao Ruihua even more apprehensive was that. After Guanghui Investment acquired the radio factory. There were people from the radio plant who reacted to the relevant departments. aroused Qiao Ruihua's resentment. Yin Lixing even paid someone to beat and scare the worker. I didn't think about it. A miss. He actually killed someone. Although afterwards, the perpetrators were quickly sent away to avoid the limelight. The case has also been clueless. But Qiao Ruihua was worried that things would be turned over. I'm afraid that even Su Hongyuan can't protect him.

Qiao Ruihua was afraid. But it's not like the six gods are without a master. Because he understands. In this land of the country. It doesn't matter how strong your personal energy is. How big is the ability. That didn't work. In the end, you have to rely on strength to speak. It is up to the forces to speak. It is up to the collective and the collective strength to speak. Someone wants to challenge themselves. Then challenge the overall power behind yourself. Qiao Ruihua also believes. The old leader doesn't even protect himself. I won't sit idly by and watch someone make a fuss in my back garden. He was most worried. Or let the old leader down. The future has since been bleak.

I pondered for a long time. Qiao Ruihua's gloomy eyes flashed with a hint of resentment. Bloodshot eyes instantly covered his eyes. He pulled a cell phone out of his pocket. Dialed a number. Only a few words were spoken: "I don't want any hidden dangers." Do you understand. ”

After putting down the phone. Qiao Ruihua took a sip of tea. The expression on his face gradually returned to his normal color. Then I took out the phone card from my phone. Break. He threw it in an ashtray and lit it. Watch as the phone card turns to ashes. Only then did he smile with relief. Slowly stand up and walk outside. But the steps seemed a little staggering.

Meanwhile. A secluded courtyard in the capital. Tastefully decorated in the study. A middle-aged man with a swagger of arms slowly put down the newspaper in his hand. He shook his head slightly. asked the secretary next to him again: "Xiao Zhou." Is Wang Lao still running to Zhongnanhai today? ”

The secretary nodded.

The middle-aged man sighed. said: "Elder Wang's worries are justified. It's too much. No matter how wise people are. It's often involved. It's a little hard to see the direction. You go and bring me a message to Changzhi. Don't mix it up. The water is too deep. Beware of choking on water. ”

The secretary nodded slightly. Didn't speak. He was well aware of who he was. Be careful with what you say and do at all times. If you don't know the rules. It's hard to stay in this position. And he. It's been three years.

"I heard that Jiang Lao's secretary Xiao Li is going to be released, right?" The middle-aged man seemed to ask casually.

The secretary's heart skipped a beat. But then he nodded calmly. As a secretary. Serve people with care. Although also scenery. But who doesn't dream of being able to go out one day. Become a feudal official. There was an earth-shattering act. Jiang Lao's secretary Xiao Li. I heard that I was going to Tongzhou to serve as deputy mayor. And now Yang Weiguo, who has become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee at the deputy ministerial level. That's how it came out step by step. Of course, he was eagerly looking forward to this day.

But he knew. This kind of thought cannot be revealed in the slightest.

"Huh. Jiang Jimin has a good son......" the middle-aged man muttered. The sound is low. The secretary who was close at hand couldn't hear what he was saying. I also know that I shouldn't have heard clearly.

The phone rang suddenly. The secretary walked up briskly to answer. Then press and hold the microphone. With a solemn expression, he said to the middle-aged man, "Minister Su." Vice Governor Ruijiang Huang telephone. ”

The middle-aged man frowned slightly. His face gradually became grim. He took the microphone from his secretary. He smiled again and said, "Lao Huang." Hehe. How can you afford to call me today. What the. His hand holding the teacup trembled. A little spill of piping hot tea. Fell on the back of his hand. Burning pain.

I couldn't hear what Vice Governor Huang said on the other end of the phone. The middle-aged man said a few words. Slowly hand the phone to the secretary and put it down carefully. Stood up and walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window. Standing in front of the window and looking out the window. It seems particularly heavy and lonely.

The secretary was inexplicably a little depressed. He didn't know what was going on. But you can guess how much. It must be something big going on in Ruijiang. Otherwise. It won't make the leader's face so ugly. But he didn't dare say anything. I can only stand here restlessly. Wait for instructions from your leader.

The middle-aged man was silent for a long time. Only then did he turn his head and say to Xiao Zhou, "Go." Prepare. I'll go back to Ruijiang in two days to have a look. ”

……

"Director Su. Great grace is not grateful. Come. I toast you. ”

Spacious and bright private rooms. Muro Ya floral. Quaint and elegant. It's like being in the luxurious dining room of an ancient emperor's house. The large round table is full of specialties of this restaurant. Vegetable flavor and wine mellow. Zhou Qiang, whose face was full of red light, stood up. Holding a cup in both hands. said respectfully to Su Changzhi on the side.

Su Changzhi sat with a golden sword. I didn't even lift my body. I just raised my glass, dipped my lips slightly, and put it down. He also said: "Old Zhou." Don't be so polite. Sit. Sit and say. ”

Zhou Qiang drank the wine in the cup. Then he sat down. He said to a young and beautiful girl sitting next to Su Changzhi with some displeasure: "Xiaoyun." How did you do it. Don't hurry up and give Director Su a drink. ”

The girl's brow furrowed. But under Zhou Qiang's cold gaze. There was a pitiful panic on his face again. She raised her glass. said softly to Su Changzhi: "Director Su." I toast you. ”

Su Changzhi smiled. Of course he understands Zhou Qiang's thoughts. But the girl in front of me is beautiful and lovely. But he is not a dirt bun who has not seen the world. When you see a beautiful woman, you can't move. In his capacity. Hook your fingers. There are many women who untie their clothes and throw themselves into their arms. Moreover. He came to Wuxi to do something. Naturally, there are many more scruples. Not like before abroad. Or as profligate as you did in the capital.

But the face of a beautiful woman always has to be given. He picked up his glass. He smiled and touched the girl. I didn't drink it and put it down again. said to Zhou Qiang: "Old Zhou." I've done what I had to do. You're going to have to work harder. ”

"Director Su, please rest assured." Zhou Qiang patted his chest. swore and said: "As long as there is no Lin Chendui making trouble." I, Zhou Qiang, speak in the steel factory. That's still a spit and a pit. Yan Weibin's nest is wasted. Not that I said him. Just a word from me. He, the acting factory director, couldn't be a day. ”

Su Changzhi smiled and nodded. I have some contempt for Zhou Qiang in my heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had something to do with Wang Lao. It is also consistent with his own demands in some aspects. He wouldn't have dealt with such a person at all. In all fairness. Su Changzhi, who has always wanted to make a difference, is a loser like Zhou Qiang, who has made a good factory scattered. I didn't have the slightest favor.
