Chapter 49: Inside and Outside

The frustration was still shrouded in me until the next day when I went to Zhu Xingwen's house.

From the third day of the first lunar month, Zhao Guodong's schedule was almost full. Zhu Xingwen was inviting guests in the third day of the first lunar month, so Zhao Guodong naturally had to arrive. He Fengxiang and Zhao Guodong had already made an appointment with Zhao Guodong to gather at Luan Zhengyuan's home in Andu District. Yang Tianpei and Gu Zhichang invited him to sit down.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, Liu Zhaoguo and his group took turns to serve in the banker. Liu Daoyuan and Xiong Zhenglin have both returned. These people have to be busy until the sixth day of the lunar month to make time, and they don’t want to do anything. Several families sit together, and their relationships between friends also need to be more contact, otherwise they will only become less and less.

Zhu Xingwen's hospitality was undoubtedly the most popular Zhu team. The leadership team of the bureau was counted at lunch. In addition to the bureau leaders, those who could serve on the table were probably the ones who thought they were well-known and could speak in front of Zhu Xingwen.

Zhao Guodongjing was with the last seat, and next to him were the traffic police captain Qi Zheng, the criminal police captain Zhang Decai, the cloth dressing department chief Luman, and the Chengguan Office director Hu Quan.

Although Dou Zhongkai and He Fengxiang both participated in this dinner, it was obvious that the two of them had a few more flavors. They both left after lunch with other arrangements. He Fengxiang's actions were understandable, but Dou Zhongkai's actions seemed a little abrupt. Zhao Guodong wondered if there would be another wave of changes in the game after the New Year.

The entertainment in the afternoon was nothing more than playing mahjong and cards. Zhu Xingwen, Liu Shengan, Qiu Yuanfeng and Ma Peng naturally formed a table, while Qi Zheng, Zhang Decai, Hu Quan and Zhao Guodong also formed a mahjong, and Ruman bought the code on the side.

Zhao Guodong does not like playing mahjong, but he follows the local customs. It is undoubtedly an unsociable act to withdraw from the platform on such occasions.

Seeing Director Zhu get off the table and go to the toilet, Zhao Guodong calmly got off the table and asked Liu Shengan to help him play. Liu Shengan is very addicted to mahjong, but because Zhu Xingwen invites him, he has to go and get a card.

Seeing Zhu Xingwen coming out of the toilet, Zhao Guodong had already handed over a Chinese branch and ignited it for Zhu Xingwen.

"Director Zhu, I heard that the New Year's Eve will be promoted?" Zhao Guodong also lit one for himself.

"Why, you kid want to come back?" Zhu Xingwen glared at Zhao Guodong and asked in surprise: "I'm afraid Secretary Lu and County Mayor Mao will not let anyone go."

"Hehe, even if I think about it, it's not my turn. It's already a big uproar for me to be a deputy director in the development zone. If I really want to go back to the bureau, I will still be angry with Lao Qi and Lao Zhang and the others? The county must not be able to understand. I have a self-knowledge, so I'd better wait for the qualifications in this management committee." Zhao Guodong didn't have so many scruples in front of Zhu Xingwen, and said with a smile.

"Well, just know. The Public Security Bureau is no better than other units. At most, some people are gossiping when they are in their twenties. If they are the deputy director in our bureau, they will be a big deal." Zhu Xingwen also said with some emotion. He was just a deputy director at the beginning and was still thirty-five or sixty years old. He can be regarded as a young cadre in the bureau. However, he has been in the position of deputy director for six or seven years, and has become a veteran in his old position. Now he has to make a step further and he has grown up every year. If he can't get there for another year or two, he will basically have no chance.

The Public Security Bureau is a place that combines ability and qualifications and prestige. Without a little experience and accumulation, the previous director and deputy director would have caused a lot of controversy. If Zhao Guodong had not been commended by the Municipal Bureau for a series of cattle theft cases and the hard brand of professional students, he would not have thought about it if he wanted to go to the director of Jiangmiao.

"So we didn't expect it, we just wanted to ask who was on the way." Zhao Guodong continued, "I heard it was Wang Guiren?"

"Who did you hear?" Zhu Xingwen asked back.

"Or why should Qiaoguan Institute be ranked first in the comprehensive examination this year?" Zhao Guodong smiled, "I don't believe that Jiangmiao Institute is much worse than Qiaoguan Institute."

"You kid, you are still defending the Jiang Temple after you leave." Zhu Xingwen refused to comment.

Generally speaking, to promote a cadre, it is necessary to create momentum. Wang Dehe has a lot of opinions on Zhu Xingwen on the selection of police stations in the development zone, and he has to find a way to ease the situation. He has a deputy director in the bureau. Pushing Wang Guiren can also be regarded as ease the relationship. Whether he can go to the court depends on Wang Dehe's operation in the county party committee and county government.

It should be no big problem, but Wang Dehe’s popularity is not very good. Mao Daolin and Bao Taiping are not right with him. One is the county magistrate, and the other is the deputy secretary of the county party committee and secretary of the political and legal committee in charge of politics and law. They all have a certain say in the issue of deputy positions in the political and legal department.

"Why did I have been there for more than half a year? Isn't this a blow to our enthusiasm for work?" Zhao Guodong said, "Of course, the bureau wants to push Wang Guiren, so of course I have nothing to say."

"Hmph, you kid knows to be petty." Zhu Xingwen took a puff of his cigarette, "Look, it's still unclear. Whether Wang Guiren can get on depends on Wang Dehe's ability, and Lao Qi is still staring at it."

"Haha, Director Zhu, is there any suitable candidates in the Jiangmiao Office? If not, I would recommend Lao Wang to Director Zhu." Zhao Guodong looked solemn, "Old Wang is really good, he has rich experience and has no words. What's even more rare is that he can be both literary and military, and he is also very good at mass work. He has worked under Director Zhu and can get started even when he is involved in cases. Director Zhu also wants all reliable people in Jiangmiao. You can rest assured to give it to your old subordinate."

"Well, let's talk about it." Zhu Xingwen was also a little moved. Wang Yongquan was a honest person. He had been working with him in the criminal police team for several years. However, afterward, the criminal police team went to the police station to contact him less. "He is leaving, who will support you with the development zone? Mao County told me a few days ago that after the beginning of the year, you may have to focus on attracting investment. If the development zone is really laid off, then there is no need for this development zone police station to exist."

"Director Zhu, Qu Jun can support it! In the Beijiao Institute, he is the deputy director in charge of the case. He is familiar with the situation and can take over everything. The same is true in the development zone. He has a tenacious spirit and works hard and doesn't say anything." Zhao Guodong encouraged his words, "In addition, the Yuan Zhenyong in our institute is also very good. He is willing to learn and learn business. After a year, the case has never been given a vote back in the pre-trial trial!"

"You kid is working so hard for the people in your development zone police station. Why? There are no talents in other places, so you only produce talents in your development zone?" Zhu Xingwen glanced at Zhao Guodong with a smile, "Are you still afraid that others will have to worry about the foundation you have worked hard to get you up?"

"Hehe, how can I hide this little thought from you? I just want to relax? The police station in the development zone is doing well, and it is also a way to add luster to your face." Zhao Guodong accompanied Zhu Xingwen into the hall while smiling.

When Wang Yongquan and Qu Jun received a call from Zhao Guodong, they thought something had happened. They rushed from their homes to the downstairs of Dongning Hotel in panting. After looking around, they found nothing unusual. Then they went upstairs with suspicion.

As soon as they stepped into the largest luxury private room in Dongning Hotel, Wang Yongquan and Qu Jun realized the people here.

"Qu Jun, come here, come here to accompany Director Qiu, Political Commissar Ma and Chief Lu to play a few games. Director Zhu wants to take a break." As soon as Liu Shengan sat on the mahjong table, he didn't want to come down. Zhao Guodong had to reluctantly play poker with Zhu Xingwen. However, Zhu Xingwen probably stayed up all night last night and was not in good spirits, so Luman had to take it.

Ruman is a woman who is only in her thirties and looks a bit feminine, but she has a square face and horse face. She looks really not very good. It is rumored that she has a very different relationship with Luan Zhengyuan, but when Zhu Xingwen comes on stage, Luan’s team members are all down one after another. However, Luman is still firmly in the position of the head of the clothing department, and even has a closer relationship with Zhu Xingwen, which makes many people in the bureau puzzled.

Only Zhao Guodong knew the inside story vaguely. Luman's husband's surname is Lu working in the county Agricultural Bank. He seemed to be from the other side of Lushan. Secretary Lu of the county party committee also had his surname, Lu, and he was from Lushan. It is unknown whether there is any kinship between them, but there is naturally a reason why Luman can keep the wind from falling.

Wang Yongquan was a little nervous. Zhao Guodong asked Bureau Zhu to report to the recent work of the Development Zone Police Station and his plan to make him feel a little puzzled. This should have been his responsibility as the director, but since Zhao Guodong said this, it makes sense. Zhao Guodong's vague words seemed to be rumbling in his mind again a few times before. Could it be...?

In fact, Zhao Guodong consciously took him and Qu Jun to visit the leaders of the bureau frequently before the New Year. At first, Wang Yongquan thought it was to show the unity of the development zone police station team, but later he vaguely realized that Zhao Guodong seemed to have some other meanings. But today it seems that Zhao Guodong really wanted to help him, which made Wang Yongquan feel surprised and happy.

Zhu Xingwen asked a few questions casually, and Wang Yongquan answered honestly without saying anything. Zhao Guodong used his eyes to signal that Wang Yongquan could leave. Only Zhu Xingwen and Zhao Guodong were left on the elegant seat.

"Guodong, do you think Old Wang can carry the flag of Jiangmiao?" Zhu Xingwen thought that Zhao Guodong was eager to push Wang Yongquan to the position, and he was certainly in a tacit understanding with Wang Yongquan, but he probably wanted to make the police station of the development zone produce more middle-level cadres. Yuan Zhenyong is said to have always been close to Zhao Guodong. It seems that Zhao Guodong also wants to find an opportunity for Yuan Zhenyong.

"Hehe, it depends on what Director Zhu looks at. I think with Lao Wang's personality, at least he can keep the situation in Jiangmiao stable and not get into trouble." Zhao Guodong's words were very subtle.

"Shoucheng?" Zhu Xingwen snorted softly.

"Director Zhu has his own strengths. Not everyone is the kind of person who can fight and dares to fight, and not every time period requires a fierce attack. Now there are two young people in Jiangmiao Institute. The strength is not weak, but one person is still missing. Old Wang should be able to take on it." Zhao Guodong recommended it tirelessly.

"Do you guys think that Old Wang is in the way and wants to push him out?" Zhu Xingwen cursed with a smile.

"This is absolutely true! Director Zhu, Lao Wang and I cooperated very well, but I just don't want him to delay it." Zhao Guodong also knew that if he continued to talk, it might have a counterproductive effect, so he could only stop at the right time. "As for whether he can go to Jiang Temple, of course, it's up to you to Director Zhu to decide."

"Hmph, I know you want to give Qu Jun and Yuan Zhenyong a place. Wang Yongquan is good, but Jiangmiao Institute is second only to Chengguan Institute and Development Zone Institute. He needs a person who is as aggressive as you. Old Wang is not suitable." Zhu Xingwen was very calm. He is quite familiar with the situation of middle-level cadres in the bureau. "It might be okay to change to a relatively simple small institute."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xingwen regarded himself as his absolute confidant. No top leader would tolerate other people's human rights and stumble. Zhu Xingwen believed that he would not keep up and down in the public security bureau, so he would have such a rare statement. Otherwise, if it were someone else, Zhu Xingwen would not pay any attention.

Zhao Guodong knew the bottom line very well, and he nodded repeatedly: "Director Zhu is more accurate in judging people, but Lao Wang is a little less courageous."

Seeing that Zhao Guodong was a little disappointed, Zhu Xingwen didn't say much: "Do you want Qu Jun to support you?"

"Hehe, Director Zhu, Qu Jun was originally from the Northern Suburbs. He is familiar with the situation and has the ability. With him here, I will naturally feel most of the time." Zhao Guodong laughed.

With the participation of Wang Yongquan and Qu Jun, the leaders of the bureau can also freely combine and play what they want to play. At least Liu Shengan sat on the mahjong table and didn't want to come down.

Until dinner, Wang Yongquan and Qu Jun were busy in front of each other. Fortunately, this was on the development zone, and Zhao Guodong pretended to be a guest on Zhu Xingwen's desk, so it was reasonable to ask two deputy to help.

After dinner, everyone began to disperse. After Liu Shengan's high-level taillights of the Accord disappeared in the cold dark night, only Qiu Yuanfeng, Zhao Guodong, Wang Yongquan and Qu Jun were left.

Wang Yongquan and Qu Jun also knew that Zhao Guodong must have something to say with Qiu Yuanfeng, and stood in the distance with tactfulness.

"Director Qiu, Director Liu finally got a smuggling car. The finance department has dealt with it?" Zhao Guodong and Qiu Yuanfeng were much more casual. The lighter ignited the fire. Qiu Yuanfeng took a deep breath: "Well, Director Zhu is still OK. He also got one for Lao He, but it was a little worse. It was Daewoo from South Korea, and he was worthy of Lao He."

"Oh?" Zhao Guodong's heart moved, and he had no scruples in front of Qiu Yuanfeng. "Political Commissar Dou seems to be not very close to Director Zhu now."

"Isn't it because of your boy's incident? Why would Director Zhu intend to recommend Wang Guiren? Wang De and the other side are full of resentment. If they don't resolve it, many things in the bureau are not easy to deal with." Qiu Yuanfeng shook his head, "I didn't agree with Director Zhu's intention, but some things are unstoppable."

Zhao Guodong knew that Zhu Xingwen and Qiu Yuanfeng now had a close relationship, even surpassing him and Zhu Xingwen. If Dou Zhongkai wanted to be independent, he would inevitably have to bring in a group of people. As soon as Wang Guiren took office, he might have to stand on the same line with Dou Zhongkai. If He Fengxiang also turned to Dou Zhongkai, it would be a bit difficult for Zhu Xingwen to be the director.

"Didn't Director Zhu consider this consequence?" Zhao Guodong pondered for a moment, "Some people are giving him three points of color and he wants to open a dyeing workshop."

"Of course I have considered it, but didn't I say it? Some things are unforgivable." Qiu Yuanfeng paused, "Originally, Bureau Zhu was also considering letting you join the Party Committee of the Bureau, but County Mayor Mao clearly told Bureau Zhu that your work must be based on investment promotion in the development zone. It is recommended that your party organization relationship be kept in the Management Committee, so Bureau Zhu had no choice but to give up."

Zhao Guodong made a rough calculation. There are seven members of the Party Committee of the Bureau. Wang Guiren must join the Party Committee as soon as he takes office. The Party Committee members become even numbers, and adding one is inevitable. Of course, he can increase Zhu Xingwen's weight in joining the Party Committee by himself, but now he can't do it, so he can only find someone else. However, the general team leader of the Institute of Science and Technology seems to be insufficient in joining the Party Committee.

Zhao Guodong's mind was swept by like lightning, "Chief Lu is the most suitable."

Qiu Yuanfeng glanced at Zhao Guodong in surprise, then nodded with a smile: "Your brain is really useful."

"Hehe, Director Qiu, you're not here to get along with you." Zhao Guodong replied with a smile.

"What? Do you want to push Lao Wang out and let Qu Jun support you?" Qiu Yuanfeng's eyes were also sarcastic.

"Old Wang is not young anymore, so he can't always swim in the instructor position. I can't throw it away for a while, and I have to think of others, right? Qu Jun can follow me and help me relieve a lot of pressure." Zhao Guodong didn't hide anything in front of Qiu Yuanfeng, "I have to ask Director Qiu to help you."

"You boy, you're so good at making a plan!" Qiu Yuanfeng also laughed, "In this way, not everyone knows that your development zone has produced talents. People with some ability will not be able to find ways to get into your development zone police station."

"I'm not from Jiang Temple yet?" Zhao Guodong attacked.

"Well, I understand. When will I make an appointment with Director Liu?" Qiu Yuanfeng stayed to talk about this matter with Zhao Guodong.

"It's about the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I guess he doesn't have time during this period." Zhao Guodong nodded.

"Okay, let me know if you make an appointment. If your friends don't move around, your relationship will become weaker and weaker. Guodong, you have to remember that multiple friends are multiple roads. Many times, a friend can often help you solve some problems that you think you can't solve. With friends, you should pay more attention to maintaining relationships. Sometimes, a call and greeting can also maintain a friendship."

Qiu Yuanfeng's words made Zhao Guodong deeply agree. Even if he put aside his utilitarian mentality, there are not many friends who can get together and get to know each other. Many friends cannot just look at each other's weaknesses, but must see each other's strengths. Only in this way can you integrate into this society like a fish in water.
