After chatting for a while, Li Xiang gave the two staff members around him a wink, and they walked out knowingly, then closed the door smoothly.
Chen Yu nodded secretly, knowing that he was doing this, firstly, to avoid suspicion, and secondly, to let others know. The Uncle Li in front of him was indeed careful, careful and experienced.
Li Xiang then lowered his voice and said: "The issue is too sensitive, so you have to be careful."
Chen Yu said: "Uncle Li, you are an elder and have experience in this area. How do you think we should check?"
Li Xiang smiled and said, "I just had a chat with Xiao Zhu, and he also has some ideas."
Seeing Chen Yu looking over, Zhu Zhi laughed and said: "Brother Yu, I have also heard some rumors. It is said that investigating high-ranking officials of this level can only be done secretly, and you must find the right entry point, otherwise it will be very dangerous, and once
Being alerted by the other party will trigger a strong rebound."
Chen Yu just smiled, but Zhu Zhi could see that his expression was the same as when he thought he was talking nonsense, so he quickly added: "As far as I know, Hou Dongdao is a well-behaved person in the central ministries and commissions, and although his reputation is not too good,
Good, but not too bad.”
At this time, Li Xiang added: "Yes, if I use one word to describe it, it would be: stability. Hou Dongdao knows how to be patient and keep a low profile. He starts from the ministry and goes up step by step. From assistant minister to deputy minister,
Minister, and then deputy prime minister. Many times he rose to the position when others didn't expect it. Looking back, it feels like he rose to the position unknowingly. One thing is for sure, there are few things about this person that others can grasp.
Otherwise, the official career would not be so smooth."
Chen Yu nodded in agreement and turned his eyes to Zhu Zhi.
Zhu Zhi continued: "Uncle Li is right, so I feel that we should find the right entry point and strive to hit the nail on the head. Defeat the enemy with one move."
Li Xiang said: "Well said, Xiao Zhu is indeed experienced. He is better than many of us here. I have even considered whether I should talk to Director Zhu and poach you here."
Zhu Zhi had a look on his face, but he said: "This... is all due to Brother Yu's good teaching, hehe."
Li Xiang smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad. He is very capable and humble. - Xiao Chen, since Xiao Zhu respects you so much, would you like to share your opinion?"
Chen Yu was disgusted by Zhu Zhi, rolled his eyes at him, and then said calmly: "Uncle Li, what he said makes sense. Finding the right entry point is the key. I remember Hou Dongdao was twenty years old
I have worked for a petroleum company in Montenegro Province before, and many laws and regulations were not yet complete at that time. Especially for such a hugely profitable monopoly..."
Li Xiang's eyes flashed with light, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you really hit the nail on the head, and I thought of it together. Yes, if there is something obscure and unclear about Hou Dongdao's official career, it is in the state-owned enterprise
It’s been a while. This should be a good entry point, what else?”
Chen Yu seemed to have expected that Li Xiang would continue to ask questions, and said: "According to Hou Dongdao's cautious character, it is estimated that some things in the past have been covered up, but as long as we investigate carefully, we will definitely find some problems. If
If we can’t find any problems on the surface, then we can also consider examining those officials in the petroleum system who were prosperous during that period and had political problems, and we should be able to find a lot of clues..."
"Not bad, really good!" Li Xiang said with approval, "I didn't believe it at first. Now I do believe what Xiao Zhu said."
Chen Yu said: "Uncle Li must have been familiar with these methods for a long time. I'm just doing what I do best."
Li Xiang was also noncommittal: "Okay, let's continue talking about the details..."
After half an hour, Li Xiang called several colleagues in and waved goodbye. However, Li Qianrou stayed and did not leave together.
Zhu Zhi let out a long breath: "Brother Yu, the people at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection are really awesome. The investigation of such a deputy state-level official was completed in just a few words. It's like deciding between life and death in just a few words."
Chen Yu smiled bitterly and asked: "Why are so many people afraid of this department? This kind of department is indispensable in government operations, but its strength must be controlled. If it is too weak, it will not play a supervisory role.
, if it is too strong, it will breed another kind of power corruption. There are similar departments in history, and they have learned profound lessons."
Zhu Zhidao: "I know, it's just the East Factory and the West Factory. It will be stink for thousands of years."
Chen Yu said: "Fortunately, the reputation of this department in our country is not bad now. It is not too strong, but it needs to be strengthened. There is still a long way to go before it can truly play its role."
Zhu Zhi said again: "Brother Yu, do you think Li Xiang dares to get to the bottom of it? If Hou Dongdao has a gang background, will he jump over the wall?"
Chen Yu said: "Do you know what Uncle Li's nickname is?"
"What?" Zhu Zhi asked.
"I know! - The Iron-faced Judge!" Li Qianrou interjected proudly next to her.
Chen Yu smiled and said: "Yes, Uncle Li has investigated countless cases, involving at least hundreds of cases above the ministerial level. He has always been ruthless and has never been bribed or intimidated."
Zhu Zhidao: "So he is so awesome?! Then he just asked for our opinion?"
"Yeah, that's why I said it's just a fool's errand. It's really a fool's errand. How could he not know about the suggestions we made? He has already used them with great proficiency. He just took the opportunity to test us and gave us a few words of encouragement. You must not
Seriously." Chen Yu smiled bitterly.
Li Qianrou interrupted again: "Brother Yu, that's not true. Uncle Li really appreciates you two, especially Brother Yu. On the way here, he said that you have been smart, courageous and knowledgeable since you were a child. This time
I have carved my way into the Oscars on my own, and I am much better than many so-called second-generation officials!"
Chen Yu said: "Qianrou, do your parents know what happened today?"
Li Qianrou shook her head: "Uncle Li just told my father secretly and did not tell my mother. He said that because my mother still has a certain fondness for the Ye family, he would tell her when things are settled."
Chen Yu and Zhu Zhi looked at each other, and then they truly felt Li Xiang's determination and gained more confidence in this case!
"Qianrou, Uncle Li said it well. This matter is of great importance. Don't tell anyone about it, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" Chen Yu said solemnly.
Li Qianrou also knew that the relationship was strong, so she responded: "I know, brother Yu. Okay, have you finished talking about business? If you are done, come and go for a walk with me!" (To be continued...)
