On the highway leading to Donghai City in Zhijiang Province, a convoy is speeding forward, with police cars driving in front and behind, and police lights flashing.

On the bus in the middle, in addition to the driver, as well as Changning's entourage Li Zhouteng and Ling Xiao, the other passengers are all figures with heads and faces in Jiang Province, Hucheng, is Sun Huayang, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Yu Tinghua, Minister of Propaganda of the Municipal Party Committee, and Ningzhou's lineup is stronger, in addition to Acting Mayor Changning, there are Fang Hongjun, Secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee, Ren Liqing, Propaganda Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, and Chen Maoyun, Mayor Fu.

Taking so many people to see Wang Qunji, secretary of the Donghai Municipal Party Committee, was the result of discussions between Chang Ning and Ding Ying, not only to curry favor with Wang Qunji, but also for the sale of Ningzhou Iron and Steel Plant, and more importantly, to send personal favors to Sun Huayang and Fang Hongjun, so that the two of them could catch Wang Qunji's pass from now on.

Donghai City is a municipality directly under the central government, the economic center of the country, Wang Qunji as a member of the Politburo in charge of Donghai City, it can be seen that he has a weight in the party, Chang Ning brought Yu Tinghua and Chen Maoyun together, but also wanted to take the opportunity to see Wang Qunji's demeanor.

It is already the late autumn season, the shelterbelts on both sides of the highway are bare, the old trees stand gloomy, the autumn is a little ruthless, it peels off the beautiful clothes of the trees, they have to stand there bare and bare on the earth, the earth is dressed in a golden sweater, the yellow leaves and bright maple leaves fall down, as if colorful butterflies are flying in the air, although the frost comes, but the pine trees are still wearing green and green robes, it looks more green, the clear sky in late autumn, like an endless calm blue sea, Intense white light danced in the air, like microwaves on the surface of the sea.

Sun Huayang touched Chang Ning beside him with his elbow, and then looked at Fang Hongjun, who was sitting on his face, and said: "Two, more than a dozen of you in the '112 Financial Corruption Case' are about to be tried in our Hucheng Intermediate Court, you two give some hints." ”

Fang Hongjun smiled and said: "I heard that there is a Zhang Hongmin in the middle, who is not only one of the first batch of doctors to study abroad after the reform and opening up, but also a high school classmate of our Mayor Chang, so please make a decision for Mayor Chang." ”

"Hehe, do things according to the law, do things according to the law." Chang Ning sighed happily, his legs were shoulder-high.

Sun Huayang said with a smile: "You don't sing a high note for me, I remember when you were in Qingyang, you said such a sentence, the law is the leader's belt, if you want to be tight, if you want to loosen it, you can loosen it, you remember." ”

"Yes, did I say something like that, I think about it...... Oh, I seem to have said that, but that's what I've learned from studying Marx's writings. ”

"Come on, what's the matter with Marx and his old man."

Chang Ning said seriously: "Marx said, 'the law is a tool of the ruling class', so, when the legal system is not perfect, do not be superstitious that everyone is equal before the law, and do not fantasize about judicial justice, in an illegal society, whoever is in power, who is the ruler, can obtain this tool for its use, power is always greater than the law, the leader of a word, judges and prosecutors dare not handle cases according to the will of those in power, the lighter ones are dismissed, replaced, and the heavier ones even lead to prison." ”

Yu Tinghua, who was sitting on the other side, looked at Chang Ning and said, "It's a pity, this old classmate of yours can manage a large enterprise well, but he can't stay in the system." ”

"Lao Yu, have you seen him," Chang Ning asked.

"Not long ago, a reporter from the Legal Daily went to the detention center for an interview, and I accompanied him."

"Oh, didn't he say anything,"

"He regretted it...... also mentioned your advice back then, regretting that you should not have taken refuge in the Zheng family...... It's a bit of a thought-provoking thing...... He said, '...... Don't think that if you enter the circle of the leader, you can sit at home and wait for the promotion to make a fortune, but you don't know that you must spend money to buy an official position and a project, even if it is the leader's own brother, but the leader is not a person who does not refuse, small gifts do not matter, the risk of collecting money is high, and you want to receive only acquaintances, entering the circle of leaders, it is just the first step to send money, if you want to find an official position, package a project, you must send money next, and you must be ruthless, what to do if you don't have money, borrow money, loans have to do, This kind of investment can be said to be a profitable ...... 'Your old classmate has degenerated, but he can't adapt to the environment of officialdom, and it is only a matter of time before something happens.' ”

Chang Ning asked, "Old Sun, are you going to sentence him for a few years,"

"Five to ten years, there are a lot of intercessors, so it's low or high."

After a deep sigh, Chang Ning said: "I think it's only five years, it's not easy for the country to accompany a doctor, let him reflect on it for two or three years, and then go into business after he comes out." ”

As he was talking, the driver of the car turned around and asked, "Secretary Sun, Mayor Chang, I'm about to go to the exit of Donghai City, how to get off the highway?"

Sun Huayang responded: "Listen to Mayor Chang." He turned his head and asked Chang Ning, "There are so many of us, can we go directly to Secretary Wang's house?"

"Yes, I said on the phone, let's go to Secretary Wang's house for dinner."

"Hey, do you know how to get to Secretary Wang's house?"

Chang Ning pointed to the Propaganda Minister Ren Liqing and said with a smile: "With our Minister Ren leading the way, I guarantee that we can rush to Secretary Wang's house before dinner." ”

There were words in the words, and the eyes of the car fell on Ren Liqing.

Ren Liqing laughed wryly, "Mayor Chang, you are really insightful, no wonder you want to bring me to Donghai City." ”

"Hehe, it's a little meaning, the details determine success or failure." Chang Ning's face was proud.

"You, how do you know," Ren Liqing asked curiously.

"Hehe, in your old office, there is a banner, 'Tranquility Zhiyuan', which is clearly the handwriting of Secretary Wang Qunji, he is a soldier, the handwriting is strong and powerful, and the font is unique, and your brother is as good as he is, hiding the signature and seal of the banner, this is not to cover it, there is no silver three hundred taels here."

"Mayor Chang, I'm sorry." Ren Liqing looked apologetic, as Wang Qunji's person, hiding from Chang Ning, he was indeed a little sorry.

Chang Ning waved his hand, "Nonsense, no you, who are we looking for to lead the way." ”

The car was full of good-natured laughter, and Sun Huayang sighed: "Comrade Liqing, don't blame me for not reminding you, to be a colleague of Mayor Chang, you'd better pay more attention." ”

"Lao Sun, what kind of member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee are you, you are so hurtful." Chang Ning complained.

The laughter in the car was louder.

In the suburbs of Donghai City, in the courtyard of a villa, there stood an old man over sixty years old, dressed in a white-washed seven-eight-style military uniform, with gray sideburns exposed under the military cap, and under the background of the cockade and collar badge, it showed an unspoken identity.

He is Wang Qunji, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, secretary of the Donghai City Party Committee, and first political commissar of the Donghai City Garrison District.

"Secretary Wang."

"Elder Wang."

"Old leader."

Wang Qunji turned around and looked over one by one, six people, Sun Huayang, Chang Ning, Fang Hongjun, Yu Tinghua, Ren Liqing, and Chen Maoyun, while shaking hands in turn, Wang Qunji said: "They are all young and middle-aged talents in Zhijiang Province, and they will meet in the wind and clouds." ”

Chang Ning walked over, grabbed Wang Qunji's arm and said, "Old leader, how are we talented, a group of hungry guys." ”

Wang Qunji smiled, "Okay, okay, who made you half an hour late, the wine and food have already been prepared, let's go in." ”

A table of sumptuous wine and food, the superior entertains the subordinates, sometimes it is also necessary, what to eat and drink, in fact, it doesn't matter, but this involves a question of face, people can not depreciate themselves, reflected in the wine table, the brand of wine is the most important, because it reflects the importance of people...... Therefore, in China's officialdom, good wine and good cigarettes are indispensable.

Since they regard themselves as old subordinates, everyone can be appropriately presumptuous at the wine table, and a group of big men, swept the table, and quickly filled their stomachs.

Sitting down on the sofa in the living room with Wang Qunji in his arms, Wang Qunji looked at Ren Liqing first, and asked with a smile: "Liqing, are you exposed?"

Ren Liqing hurriedly got up and said, "I'm ashamed, let the old leader laugh." ”

"Haha, how can I blame you, if you don't believe it, ask Secretary Sun, under the eyes of Qingyang Little Half-Immortal, who can escape, Huayang, what do you say."

Sun Huayang continued: "The old leader said it too incisively, but people are iron-mouthed." ”

Chang Ning smiled embarrassedly, "Old leader, if you hurt me again, then I will have to go home." ”

"Haha, it's better to meet than to be famous, I heard that you know half of everything in the sky and everything on earth, so let's see it today."

Sun Huayang took the lead in applauding, and others followed suit.

"Hey, hey, guys. Don't you force me to make a fool of myself? Chang Ning scratched his head and smiled.

Wang Qunji smiled and said: "The name of the little half-immortal will not be a waste of fame, right?"

Chang Ning put away his smile and looked at Wang Qunji intently, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth.

"Secretary Wang, offended...... As we all know, the foot is an important part of the human body, the weight of more than 100 catties of the human body, when walking, all pressed on a pair of feet, at the same time, the foot is also a sensitive topic, especially a woman's feet, in front of the living people are not easily exposed, let alone let people touch casually...... I want to emphasize that in the animal kingdom, how is the bounce power of the elephant dog, and the bending of its feet is very related, what is the bending bow, that is, the part of the claw bending, the greater the angle of the bending, the better its bounce force, otherwise it will not jump high, run not fast, we humans are actually like this, the greater the concavity around the center of the foot, the better, as the saying goes, the foot can lie on the turtle, it must become a big tool, a woman's foot can not be too big, let alone too thin, the fatter the better, but the man's foot, should be bigger and wider, the better......"

After a pause, Chang Ning looked at Wang Qunji and said: "Secretary Wang, you have a pair of big feet and are wearing shoes that are size forty-five, but your feet are of different sizes, it should be, it should be big on the left and small on the right." ”

There was silence in the living room.
