Chapter 15: Heat

Out of the conference room, Yang Weiguo's mood was a little heavy. Judging from such a Standing Committee alone, Lu Qingdong's strength can be seen at a glance. When he didn't speak, others might still have different opinions and opinions, and even have extremely fierce disputes, but as long as he made a decision, it was immediately ironclad, and no one dared to stand up and speak out against him, even Lei Haitao, the maverick commander of the military division, was only silent at best. The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of Dongping City seems to have become Lu Qingdong's hall, and this momentum is indeed very dangerous.

However, through this short hand-to-hand encounter, Yang Weiguo also saw that Liu Yunqiang and Lu Qingdong did not actually belong to the same camp. The relationship between them is nothing more than cooperation and utilization. Lu Qingdong needs Liu Yunqiang to check and balance the mayor and meddle in the work of the municipal government, and Liu Yunqiang also needs to use Lu Qingdong to enhance his voice. It's not easy to be suppressed by them, but since it's not a monolith, there is a possibility of breaking it. The other members of the Standing Committee were not without their own selfishness and interests, but they were also forced to surrender because of Lu Qingdong's majesty and strength. Once given the right opportunity, it is inevitable that they will not turn against each other.

And Liu Yunqiang's mood was not good. It seems that he bombarded Yang Weiguo at the Standing Committee, which looked very beautiful, but the opinions of Ji Qiuhua, the head of the Propaganda Department, and Lu Qingdong's final decision, couldn't help but make him feel a chill. Is Lu Qingdong using this to beat himself, or is it his usual checks and balances? Liu Yunqiang didn't know, so although he was talking and smiling and left with the others, if he looked closely, the smile on his face faded a lot.

Back in front of the municipal government office building, Yang Weiguo saw Wu Wenjun standing at the bottom of the stairs talking to a person, but his eyes were wandering, and he hurriedly greeted him when he saw him.

"Something?" Yang Weiguo's brows furrowed slightly.

"No, it's okay......" Wu Wenjun said in a hurry, seeing Yang Weiguo's impatient expression, he lowered his voice and said: "Mayor Yang, one of my classmates works in the provincial newspaper, and he called me just now, saying that someone wrote a letter to the provincial newspaper, saying that you are wantonly shooting at the gate of Sun Paper to intimidate the masses......"

Yang Weiguo's heart sank suddenly, but his face did not change in the slightest, and he said to Wu Wenjun indifferently: "Come to my office and say." With that, he turned around and walked up the stairs as if nothing had happened.

Wu Wenjun followed closely behind, but his mood was extremely heavy. Although the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee has just ended, he has somewhat gotten some rumors. Over the years, Dongping's officialdom has changed frequently, and for many people, standing on the wrong side is not hesitant to commit political suicide. After Mayor Dai was transferred, how many cadres with the word "Dai" on their heads were adjusted? If Mayor Yang hadn't come quickly, I'm afraid that he would not have escaped this fate. Wu Wenjun will not forget the lonely back of his predecessor when he left the city government building. Mayor Yang is already his last straw, if even he capsizes, I am afraid that he will have no future at all.

The matter is very simple, early this morning, the provincial newspaper received a letter from Dongping, which revealed that Yang Weiguo shot and intimidated in front of Sun Paper, and instructed a large number of police forces to disperse the crowd, resulting in many petitioners being injured, and attached several photos of the time. Although the photos are not very clear, they can still see the situation at that time. In view of the seriousness of the matter and the fact that the mayor of a prefecture-level city was involved, the provincial newspaper did not publish it immediately, but asked the personnel to verify it. And this person happened to be Wu Wenjun's former classmate in the party school, so the phone call reached his place. Wu Wenjun listened coldly, and his back was wet with cold sweat. This kind of thing can be big or small, and the most afraid is to be used to make a big fuss. Therefore, he reported to Yang Weiguo as soon as possible.

After Yang Weiguo listened, he didn't say anything for a long time, and only after a long time did he say to Wu Wenjun: "Thank you, Director Wu, and thank your classmates for me, I will invite you to dinner another day." ”

"No need Mayor Yang, this is what I should do." Wu Wenjun said repeatedly, and said with a worried face: "Mayor Yang, do you need me to go to the event?" ”

Many things, as long as the coffin has not been closed, there is still room for manipulation, as long as you move in time and find heavyweights to speak, then everything is easy to do. Every year, some programs of CCTV don't know how many things will be exposed, and I don't know how many are not broadcast because of the timely activities. Even this can be active, let alone a provincial newspaper?

Yang Weiguo waved his hand and said, "No." ”

Recalling Wu Wenjun's suspicious and confused gaze when he left, Yang Weiguo couldn't help but smile. He knew that this Wu Wenjun was able to reveal the news to himself today, almost desperately, putting his net worth and life on himself, and if he was really finished, his political career would undoubtedly end early. But with this little trick, can you finish yourself?

He didn't know who wrote the information and who took the photos. The scene at that time was so chaotic, he shot in a hurry, but there was something wrong with it in detail, but if he wanted to make a big fuss about this, it seemed a bit ridiculous.

Yang Weiguo picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, the office was surprisingly quiet, the sunlight spilled through the gaps in the shutters on the mahogany floor, like a mottled zebra crossing.

His mouth was full of slightly bitter tea aroma, but Yang Weiguo didn't seem to taste anything. He wasn't worried about the shooting, but he was thinking about his next plan to investigate Sun Paper. If this time we still can't find out the problem of Sun Paper, I'm afraid what will be lost is not only their own face, but also the hearts of the people.

Yang Weiguo also knew what the consequences would be if he made such a decision, but at this moment, his heart gradually settled. Maybe people are like this, they are afraid of this and that before they make a decision, they will suffer from gains and losses, and once they really make up their minds, they are fearless.

Face and authority, is it really more important than the common people?

Yang Weiguo slowly walked to the window, opened the shutters with a "swish", and the sunlight immediately poured in, dazzlingly bright.

The window of his office was facing the entrance and exit of the municipal government office building, and at this time, people came and went, but Lin Chendui was never seen. Yang Weiguo couldn't help but be a little anxious, he even regretted that he let him investigate Sun Paper yesterday, if there was any accident, how could he be worthy of Lin Chendu's mother, and how could he explain it to them?

Yang Weiguo closed the blinds little by little, slowly walked back to the desk, and just wanted to grab the office phone to dial, but the phone suddenly rang.

The call was from Lu Qingdong, asking Yang Weiguo to go to his office.

Just after the meeting, what will Lu Qingdong do to find himself? Is it for the sake of provincial reporting?

Yang Weiguo came to Lu Qingdong's office full of surprise. Although he didn't like this old man with a strong desire for power, in the current situation, he still had to rely on Lu Qingdong to carry out his work, at least until his authority and power were established, he had to temporarily avoid the edge.

Lu Qingdong's office is the same as Yang Weiguo's, if there is really any difference, that is, the tone is heavier, giving people a feeling of depression, as if facing Lu Qingdong.

When Yang Weiguo entered, Lu Qingdong was making tea.

Lu Qingdong likes to drink kung fu tea, especially the kung fu tea he brews, which is famous in Dongping. There are also many people who like it and spend a lot of money to get a lot of precious and rare kung fu tea sets, but after Lu Qingdong appreciates it, he will never charge it. And those who insisted on sending it were all driven out of the door by him with people and things.

"Sit!" Lu Qingdong first sat down on the sofa next to the office, and then pointed to his side and said to Yang Weiguo.

Yang Weiguo smiled, Lu Qingdong did not choose to communicate face-to-face with himself in the office chair, which made his psychology feel a little better. He sat down and was about to speak, but saw Lu Qingdong put a cup of steaming tea in front of him and said, "Taste the tea first, and then talk about things." ”

It's rare that Lu Qingdong will invite someone to drink tea, Yang Weiguo doesn't know what medicine he sells in his gourd, but he still picked up the teacup and smacked it casually, and he didn't distinguish the taste, so he heard Lu Qingdong say: "This tea, in addition to tea and water quality, the most important thing to pay attention to is the heat, if the heat is not enough, you can't make a pot of good tea." ”

Yang Weiguo glanced at him, gradually had a score in his heart, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Hehe, I don't know much about tea, but I also think that Secretary Lu is very reasonable." But many times, when you are so thirsty, you don't have the time to boil water and make tea slowly, so it's better to fill your stomach with boiled water. ”

Lu Qingdong's hand froze, and after a moment of silence, he asked straight to the point: "Mayor Yang, do you know anything about the situation of Sun Paper?" ”

"I don't know much about it, but I've roughly seen some company information before."

Lu Qingdong nodded, and after a while, he said: "Ge Hao, the boss of Sun Paper, is a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress, and his second uncle is Minister Yao of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. ”

Yang Weiguo frowned slightly when he heard this, Ge Hao was able to make Sun Paper such a large-scale, of course, he also had a good background, but he didn't expect it to be so amazing. This Minister Yao, Yang Weiguo, also knows that he is the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and when he came to Huachuan from the capital, it was this Minister Yao who met him. He remembered that this was an extremely serious person, and there was hardly any expression on his face.

Seeing that Yang Weiguo didn't speak, Lu Qingdong said again: "Minister Yao called me this morning. ”

Yang Weiguo's eyes were condensed, he just wanted to say something, but he heard Lu Qingdong say: "I am not telling you this, I don't want to put pressure on you, let alone prevent you from investigating Sun Paper." It's just that I want you to try to make all kinds of preparations before you do things. ”

Yang Weiguo was obviously stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Lu Qingdong would say this to himself, what purpose did he have? But he also said: "Thank you, Secretary Lu, I ......"

Lu Qingdong waved his hand, as if he was talking to Yang Weiguo, and seemed to be talking to himself: "I have been in Dongping for thirteen years, Dongping is like my child, I don't want anyone to hurt it." Perhaps, you are right, always thinking about the heat, but there are many more entanglements......"

Yang Weiguo didn't speak, just listened to Lu Qingdong's words quietly, and there was a hint of indescribable meaning in his eyes when he looked at him again.

At this moment, Yang Weiguo's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Yang Weiguo first smiled embarrassedly at Lu Qingdong, then stood up and walked towards the window, answering the phone as he walked. At first, there was a little relief in his eyes, but soon, his face changed greatly, and then he raised his voice and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

I don't know what to say on the other end of the phone, after Yang Weiguo hung up the phone, he stood there with a cloudy face, as if he was thinking about something. Lu Qingdong picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly, but his eyes glanced over from time to time, and he was also wondering in his heart, what kind of phone call could make Yang Weiguo so out of shape?

After a while, Yang Weiguo walked back and said to Lu Qingdong in a deep voice: "Secretary Lu, I just received the news that Sun Paper is not only the culprit of the pollution of the water in Phoenix Lake, but also may have other major problems......

After listening to Yang Weiguo, Lu Qingdong couldn't help but show a stunned expression. He took off his glasses and wiped them slowly with a cloth of glasses, as if he was calming the uneasiness in his heart.
