Chapter 122 Criticized

At this time, Wu Hao was actually uneasy. He heard the sound of "beep...beep...beep..." waiting for the answer, and his heartbeat was almost as fast as Wu Hao's throat. To be honest, when Wu Hao learned that the investigation team was trapped in the fire, his heart suddenly became high. After all, he was already the municipal party committee reporter of Minnan City. Although he had not been a municipal party committee member for 24 hours, as long as a member of the investigation team died in the fire, he probably could not escape the responsibility of his main leader. At that time, the party would be warned and dismissed directly. No matter what, it would definitely become a stain on his political career. Therefore, when Zhang Liang called him, he hoped that he could come forward to call Secretary Xia to report the incident, and he would agree without hesitation without hesitation.

Wu Hao didn't wait long before a woman came from the phone and asked kindly: "Hello! Who is it?"

When Wu Hao heard the other party's voice, he immediately determined that it was the voice of Secretary Xia's lover. He quickly said politely and respectfully: "Auntie! Hello! I am Xiao Wu from Minnan City! Don't you know that Secretary Xia has gotten up? I have a very important thing that needs to be reported to him."

"It's Xiao Wu! Old Xia got up and is playing Tai Chi in the yard. You wait a moment, I'll call him in to answer the phone." As soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, Secretary Xia's lover's kind answer came from the phone.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao politely greeted: "Auntie! I'll bother you!"

Secretary Xia’s lover replied with a smile: “See what you said, what’s the trouble with this? When will you take your swallow to the aunt’s house when you have time to visit!”

"Thank you aunt! I will definitely visit Yanzi another day." Wu Hao replied with a smile.

Secretary Xia’s lover heard Wu Hao’s words and said happily: “Then we’ll make up for it, Xiao Wu! You wait a moment, I’ll help you call our Lao Xia.”

As soon as Secretary Xia's lover's words fell, a "Click!" sound came from the phone, followed by the sound of walking. Not long after, the sound of Secretary Xia talking to his lover came. Wu Hao knew that Secretary Xia must have returned to the living room, and immediately took a few deep breaths of air. After the sound of Secretary Xia holding a microphone came from the phone, Wu Hao immediately reported rigorously and respectfully: "Secretary Xia! Last night, another bad case occurred in Minnan City. When the Provincial Party Committee Investigation Team was investigating an import and export trading company under the Far East Group, they accidentally discovered some evidence. Last night, the comrades from the first group of the Provincial Party Committee Investigation Team stayed up late to investigate the company and made a major discovery in the early morning of this year. Who knew that when the investigation team was about to withdraw, someone deliberately set fire to trap the investigation team in that building."

"Xiao Wu! What are you doing? You know that the problem in southern Fujian is so serious. Why don't you send police forces to be responsible for the safety of the investigation team? Are there any casualties in the cadres of the investigation team?" Wu Haocai reported halfway, and Secretary Xia on the other end of the phone got angry and shouted at Wu Hao.

Although Wu Hao was already mentally prepared to be scolded, it was the first time he was scolded after all, so Secretary Xia’s criticism undoubtedly made the speech he had prepared in his heart disappear without a trace in an instant, and the answer became a little panicked: "Secretary Xia! I was not considering it carefully at the time and didn’t think about it in this regard, so I neglected the safety of the investigation team. Here I asked the provincial party committee to punish me. However, fortunately, the leader of the investigation team, Guo Tianhe, Director Guo, the leader of the first group, made a quick decision when everyone was surrounded by the fire and had no way out in the office. At present, except for a cadre who was fainted by black before leaving the fire, everyone was just frightened to varying degrees. Now we have arranged for the hospital car to send these eleven comrades to the hospital for a comprehensive examination."

When Secretary Xia heard Wu Hao say that there were no casualties, his face eased significantly. He understood very well that the current situation in Minnan City is quite complicated. If the local police force is used to be responsible for the safety of the investigation team, it would be equivalent to giving Fu Xingyu's Far East Group a chance to blatantly monitor the investigation team's every move. Thinking of this, Secretary Xia's tone changed a lot, but his tone was still majestic, and he said: "Xiao Wu! Fortunately, there were no casualties this time, which is a blessing, but it also shows that the other party is a group of vicious people, so you must learn from this lesson. By the way! You just said that the investigation team made a major discovery. What major discovery was it? It will cause the other party to jump over the wall and use arson to eliminate these evidence."

Seeing that Secretary Xia's tone was eased, Wu Hao's heartbeat gradually calmed down. He had known Secretary Xia for so long. In his eyes, although Secretary Xia was a majestic leader, he was even more kind. Over the years, all he had to encourage and praise him, and there were loud rebukes to him like today. Fortunately, Secretary Xia was not right to the people, otherwise his political career would be over at the beginning.

Wu Hao reached out and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and quickly replied: "I don't know what the specific major discovery is. Now the cadres of the investigation team have just come out of the fire. I have just discussed it carefully with Deputy Director Zhang. I am going to talk to Director Guo first. I will report to you any latest progress!"

Secretary Xia sighed lightly when he heard Wu Hao's answer, and said to Wu Hao earnestly: "Xiao Wu! I just heard you say that the investigation team made a major discovery that caused the other party to use arson to eliminate the evidence regardless of the safety of the cadres of the provincial party committee's investigation team. This shows that these evidences are absolutely fatal evidence for the Far East Group, so you must ensure the safety of these evidences. As for the fire, it is a lesson for you to underestimate the enemy. Now that it has happened once, I don't want to see the second time. You are a very young and excellent leading cadre. I hope the successful resolution of the Minnan issue can become a highlight of your political career, rather than a stain that drags down your progress. I hope you can keep it in mind!"

When Wu Hao heard Secretary Xia's words, he naturally showed a cautious expression on his face, and replied cautiously: "Secretary Xia! I will definitely learn from what has happened in the past two days and give you a satisfactory answer to the provincial party committee."

"Okay! Xiao Wu! It's great that you can have this confidence! The Provincial Party Committee and I will wait and see, OK! I believe you should be busy with trading indiscriminate amounts now, so I won't tell you much, but this incident is a profound lesson for you, and I hope you can remember it in your heart." Secretary Xia's tone gradually changed back to his usual attitude when he heard Wu Hao's words, and explained to Wu Hao again.

When Wu Hao heard Secretary Xia’s remarks, he replied strongly: “As the saying goes, learn from one’s mistakes and become wise! Just now, Deputy Director Zhang had called the Provincial Armed Police Corps and asked them to send armed police to be responsible for the security of the investigation team. I will now arrange for the Municipal Party Committee reception office to arrange a quiet residence for the investigation team, so that the investigation team can investigate the case.”

"Xiao Wu! Since the Provincial Committee appointed you as the Municipal Party Committee of Minnan City, it is a trust in your ability to do things. If you do it, you can do it with confidence and boldness. The Provincial Committee and I are the backing of your persistence. Okay! Let's do it first! Let's keep in touch with anything if you have anything to do! Goodbye." Secretary Xia's eyes flashed with relief and admiration, and encouraged Wu Hao with a smile.

When Wu Hao was reporting the arson case against the investigation team just now, Zhang Liang took Guo Tianhe to the minibus. Although Zhang Liang didn't know what Secretary Xia said to Wu Hao on the phone, he could see from Wu Hao's expression when he was talking on the phone that Secretary Xia must have criticized Wu Hao on the phone. However, later he saw the smile gradually on Wu Hao's face, that is, the assurance Wu Hao made on the phone, he understood why Wu Hao could become the municipal party committee reporter of Minnan City so young. He envied Wu Hao in his heart, but he was very glad that Wu Hao would help him call to report the arson case to Secretary Xia. Otherwise, if he asked him to fight himself, his political career would be over because of the arson case and the announcement.

When Zhang Liang saw Wu Hao put his cell phone in his pocket, he immediately thanked Wu Hao sincerely and said, "Wu Ji! Thank you for making this call for me. Although I don't know what Secretary Xia said on the phone, I believe you must have taken the blame for me just now, so Secretary Xia scolded him fiercely. I know that if I still say thank you now, it would be hypocritical, but the word "Thank you for thousands of words..."

Seeing Zhang Liang's grateful look, Wu Hao smiled and stopped him without waiting for Zhang Liang to finish his words, "Director Zhang! Are you sour? I don't know how many times you have heard you say thank you since before. I said the phone call in my heart just now was called for you on the surface, but in fact I called for myself. Although you are the leader of the investigation team stationed in Minnan City, I am even more of the Minnan Municipal Party Committee. If something happened to the investigation team in our place, my municipal Party Committee Record will be blamed, so we are now tied up by a rope. If something happened, you can't run away, and I can't run away, okay! Let's talk about the new discoveries of the investigation team!"
