In the office, Fu Zeping held a pair of scissors in his hand, carefully trimming a few green plants in front of the windowsill, the look on his face was extremely serious and devoted, and as the silver scissors cut off those forked and unsightly branches one by one, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Just like Yang Weiguo likes to taste tea, Fu Zeping likes to toss these flowers and plants when he is not working, pruning, watering and the like, so a few plants in his office, no matter how big or small, never dummy, even his secretary has figured out his preferences, and when he cleans up the office on weekdays, at best, he wipes the dust on the plants, and he doesn't dare to do these things for him.

And in the official career, it is very dangerous to maintain a kind of self-control that exterminates human desires, and there is no way to vent emotions.

"Mayor, Secretary Yang is here," just as Fu Zeping put down the scissors, Secretary Yuan Hong knocked on the door and walked in to report.

Because of the pronunciation of the surname, when everyone calls Fu Zeping, they try their best to call the mayor, and ignore the word "Fu", lest the "Fu" and "vice" homonyms, commit taboos, and cause unhappiness in his heart, anyway, he is now the "acting mayor", and he is only one step away from the real mayor, even if Fu Zeping may not care about it at all, but no one dares to take this risk.

Fu Zeping's brows furrowed slightly, and then a faint smile appeared on his face, he picked up the towel that was put aside and wiped his hands, and then greeted Yang Weiguo, who was walking in the door, and said with a smile: "Hehe, what kind of wind blew Secretary Yang here, please sit down,"

"I heard that you have a pot of good tea here, no, you will come over when you smell it," Yang Weiguo said with a smile.

"Secretary Yang wants to drink tea, that's not easy, I'll have someone send it to you with a phone call, and you need to run in person,"

"Hehe, this is different, it's better to drink it here with you,"

"Did you hear it, Xiao Yuan, hurry up and soak my can of Longjing just sent by someone else to Secretary Yang, don't let the water be too hot......"

After a few words of greeting, the two sat down on the sofa on the side, Yang Weiguo took a sip of the steaming tea sent by Yuan Hong, and waited for Yuan Hong to cautiously exit the office before asking: "Mayor Zeping, have you heard?"

Fu Zeping was stunned for a moment, nodded again, and said lightly: "I heard,"

Yang Weiguo sighed, and said as if he was very worthless for Fu Zeping: "I don't understand how the above thinks about the issue, but since this matter is not a foregone conclusion, you don't want to fight for it anymore,"

The corners of Fu Zeping's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, but he smiled again, threw a cigarette to Yang Weiguo, and said with a smile: "What else is there to fight for, we are all party cadres, naturally we must obey the leadership and command of the party, no matter who is the mayor, I will go all out to support his work,"

Yang Weiguo shook his head, but he didn't say anything more, Fu Zeping himself was not in a hurry, what could he do.

After Feng Kai was transferred, although the province did not make it clear that Fu Zeping was the mayor, but he was given full authority to preside over the work of the municipal government, which seemed to everyone, it was only a matter of time for him to straighten out, but unexpectedly, things changed suddenly at the last moment, and there was already news from above, Fu Zeping continued to serve as his executive deputy mayor, and the new mayor had another candidate.

Mayor and executive vice mayor, although there is only a difference between two words, but the nature is completely different, missed this opportunity, for Fu Zeping, it means that the career will be delayed for a few years, and this is likely to be a critical few years, a down, the final development may be a world of difference.

"Alas, it seems that the old Su family is really working hard this time, and they are determined to win," Yang Weiguo said with a little headache.

Fu Zeping smiled slightly, and his heart was also bitter, in the final analysis, he was purely affected, if it weren't for Su Changzhi coming to Wuxi to serve this time, the old Su family would not have taken such pains to snatch the position of mayor of Wuxi City, to put it mildly, of course he was dissatisfied with this ending, but what can be done, if it is just a Su family, it is easy to do, but behind the Su family, there seems to be such a behemoth as the Shao family, Rao is old leader has to swallow his anger and call to comfort him to accept this reality, and then find a way to find a way for him when the time is right.

The old leaders have set the tone, can they still say no, if they want to blame, blame themselves for their bad luck.

With a light sigh in his heart, Fu Zeping put down the teacup in his hand, got up and took out a document from the drawer of his desk, and handed it to Yang Weiguo.

Yang Weiguo took it and looked at it, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Fu Zeping in surprise and said, "Zeping, you are,"

Fu Zeping smiled bitterly and said: "Since the new mayor is coming soon, I think it is better to solve many unresolved personnel issues as soon as possible, Secretary Yang, what do you say?"

Yang Weiguo patted Fu Zeping on the shoulder, with mixed feelings in his heart.

This is also one of the main reasons why he came to Fu Zeping in person this time, although he is not willing to interfere too much in the work of the municipal government, it does not mean that he will let the personnel arrangements of the municipal government completely out of his control, Fu Zeping used to preside over the work of the municipal government, the two can still communicate with each other, try not to step on the line, even if Chen Zhihai moves, he has communicated with Fu Zeping in advance, but seeing that the new mayor is coming, if he doesn't take the opportunity to quickly settle these things, do you have to give in to the new mayor.

Unexpectedly, Fu Zeping and him thought of going together, which can really be said to be the same as the hero.

……

Sipping tea silently, Lin Chenwei listened to Deputy Director Li of the Shashang District Civil Affairs Bureau who sat on the side carefully report on the recent work of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Deputy Director Li's name is ***, less than fifty years old, but his head is a little bald, the circle on the top of his head is not an inch of grass, bright and visible, but the appearance is very friendly, since the director of the District Civil Affairs Bureau Su Yongjun fell ill, the work of the bureau is temporarily responsible for him, and he is also a lot more attentive to the management committee, and its purpose is naturally obvious.

Lin Chenwan listened to ***'s introduction, just nodded slightly, did not interrupt his words, and did not give any instructions, and at the end, he asked: "Is Director Su's health better?"

Hearing Lin Chenwan ask about Su Yongjun, ***'s face couldn't help but feel a little unnatural, and he spoke more carefully, for fear that the improper wording would cause Secretary Lin's disgust, "Director Su is still the same, especially after hearing that he was reported, he was anxious and angry, and his body was getting worse, and the doctor said that it was estimated that he would not survive the Spring Festival......

As soon as the news of Su Yongjun's official resignation came out, the district received a report letter, reporting that Su Yongjun had embezzled and embezzled nearly one million yuan of public funds during his tenure as director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of the High-tech Zone, and at the same time, during the construction of the Social Welfare Center Project by the Civil Affairs Bureau, he illegally accepted a total of 620,000 yuan in cash from engineering contractors, building material suppliers and engineering designers.

Over the past few years, the Civil Affairs Bureau has exposed countless scandals, such as turning relatives into subsistence households, fraudulently receiving subsistence allowances, withholding relief funds, and making huge profits from funerals.

The matter is still under investigation, but regardless of the truth of the matter, what makes Lin Chenwan a little puzzled is why Su Yongjun didn't report it when he was in power before, but when Su Yongjun was seriously ill and was about to leave office, this kind of thing was exposed.

"Civil affairs work is related to the people's livelihood, so we must be cautious, don't let down the people's expectations of us," Lin Chendu's words are a little serious, he also knows that there are many problems in civil affairs work, especially the monopoly and profiteering of the funeral industry, which is pointed out by thousands of people, but change is not achieved overnight, nor can it be decided by one's own words, many good decisions are often implemented below and turn sour.

nodded again and again, but didn't know what he was thinking about.

……

Early the next morning, looking at the thick file on the table, Lin Chendu's brows were furrowed.

Tang Ning sat on the long sand and drank tea silently, obviously her heart was also heavy when she investigated such a result, but the facts were in front of her, and it was shown through various channels that the content of the report letter was basically true.

Looking at Lin Chendu, whose face was sinking like water, Tang Ning pondered for a moment, and then hesitated and said: "Secretary Lin, Su Yongjun is sick like this, and his family has also expressed their willingness to raise money as soon as possible, return these payments, and strive for leniency.

Lin Chenwan frowned, and said angrily: "Then how do you say to deal with it lightly, what will the masses think?"

Seeing that Lin Chenwan seemed to be in a bad mood, Tang Ning stopped squeaking and picked up the teacup on the coffee table to drink tea silently.

Su Yongjun's matter, although the district has always been low-key to deal with it, but paper can't contain the fire, it has long been spread, and even some news media have carried out relevant reports, but the specific details have not been disclosed, especially among the funds embezzled by Su Yongjun, there are some rural five-guarantee households and urban and rural social difficulties and relief funds for special objects, and many voices are even objections to the relevant supervision, and the ensuing pressure is conceivable.

"Let's go, follow me to the hospital to see Su Yongjun," After a moment of silence, Lin Chenwan suddenly put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and got up and said.

Tang Ning was slightly stunned, and asked in surprise: "Go, go and visit Su Yongjun,"

Lin Chendui nodded, and said a little heavily: "No matter what, he is also an old comrade, he is seriously ill, and we, as leaders, should go and visit,"

Tang Ning hesitated again, and said cautiously: "Otherwise, I will go and see it on your behalf,"

Lin Chenwan glanced at her deeply, of course he understood what Tang Ning meant, it was easy to provoke criticism when he went to visit Su Yongjun at this time, but he still waved his hand and said, "Let's go together,"
