"Misunderstanding? I hope it's a misunderstanding." Lu Wei believed that Shen Tong wouldn't lie, but he didn't completely believe it. He said, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you can't explain it clearly. Calling Xu Xia in the middle of the night is already treacherous. Shen Tong, you are confused!"
Shen Tong sat on the ground in a daze, holding his head and beating it hard, muttering something in his mouth: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
Lu Wei pulled Shen Tong and said: "Now is not the time to complain. Get up. The most urgent thing for us now is to think of countermeasures. I am being more serious. If the child in Xu Xia's belly is okay, this matter may be smooth and smooth. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."
For the first time, Shen Tong felt that the sky was about to fall, but now he didn't care about his own future, but worried about Xu Xia's health. He pulled Lu Wei and said: "County Magistrate Lu, please accompany me to the provincial capital. This The matter must be explained clearly by me."
"Okay!" Lu Wei stood up and said: "You are not allowed to go anywhere now. Just stay at home. After that, you and Secretary Wu will take a leave. We will talk about it after this matter is resolved. Please tell me carefully what happened now." I will tell you without any lies."
Shen Tong had no choice but to tell everything about last night. After Lu Wei heard it, although he felt a little unbelievable, it was too coincidental. Lu Wei thought for a long time and said: "Leave this matter to me. Come and deal with it. Remember, you are not allowed to talk to Xu Xia on the phone again, let alone see each other. You are not allowed to go anywhere. Wait for my call at home. If a stranger calls, don't answer it."
Shen Tong nodded like a rattle, feeling that he was living a useless life.
After Lu Wei left, his mother Liu Xiulan ran up. Seeing Shen Tong's face was extremely ugly, she said distressedly: "Shen Tong, what's wrong with you? I thought I heard you two arguing just now, are you okay?"
Shen Tong didn't want his mother to worry, so he forced a smile and said: "Mom, I'm fine. The person just now was County Magistrate Lu. We were discussing work. Don't worry."
Liu Xiulan was dubious. She always felt that Shen Tong was hiding something. As her son was older, she couldn't ask more questions about some things, so she had to say: "Okay, you have a rest. Mom will call you when dinner is ready!"
Shen Tong was very anxious here. Wu Jiangkai presided over a meeting in the county party committee standing committee conference room to welcome Governor Zhang for inspection. They divided the work into groups on the existing problems raised by Pang Huaiyuan. Each standing committee member was responsible for supervising one item and required it to be completed within the specified time. Complete it as soon as possible.
After Shen Tong left, many things returned to Zhang Liwei. He happily arranged various tasks and asked all the staff of the county party committee to stop what they were doing and go down to conduct a comprehensive inspection in accordance with Wu Jiangkai's request.
After lunch at noon, Wu Jiangkai rushed to the provincial capital without stopping. Zhu Yusen will come down to take up the post tomorrow, and he must meet tonight. Without Shen Tong in front of him, Wu Jiangkai felt that something was missing. In the past, Shen Tong was just a The role of carrying bags and running errands has now gradually made suggestions for oneself, and has truly become a "consigliere".
Shen Tong has little experience and sees problems at a superficial level. He is far different from Zhang Liwei, an old gangster, but Wu Jiangkai is willing to listen to Shen Tong's opinions. Every time Zhang Liwei comes up with an idea, it always involves self-interest, or in other words, it is for his own benefit. He used the power in his hands to achieve his goals, which was also an important reason why Wu Jiangkai gradually alienated Zhang Liwei. On the other hand, Shen Tong was different. His starting point for making suggestions was entirely from Wu Jiangkai's standpoint, and he had no personal desires, let alone framed Wu Jiangkai. Comparing the two, it will be obvious at a glance which one is used and which one is not used.
In the officialdom, it is not easy to cultivate a person, and it is even more difficult to cultivate a person's loyalty. Wu Jiangkai may be loyal to Qiu Zhiguo, but at the critical moment he has to climb up to Pang Huaiyuan for profit; Zhang Liwei may be loyal to Wu Jiangkai, but he is just Using Wu Jiangkai to achieve his own goals, his desire for power was so inflated that he forgot his identity. Therefore, in the officialdom, there is no absolute loyalty, it depends on the scope of your power. Without power, the tree will fall. The building collapsed in an instant, leaving only a solitary person.
Therefore, most leaders are not willing to devote their efforts to cultivating a person of equal strength to themselves. Instead, they have a special liking for young people who have just been born. Not only are they easy to control, but once this relationship is established, it will be a lifelong teacher-student relationship.
What happened to Shen Tong today? Was he fine yesterday? Wu Jiangkai always felt that something was wrong. His eyes were dull and he was in a trance. He was obviously hiding his cold. All of this could not escape Wu Jiangkai's falcon-like eyes. Thinking of this , Wu Jiangkai called Lao Wei and asked about Shen Tong's situation.
When he learned that Shen Tong had returned home, Wu Jiangkai thought that something had happened to his family. He ordered Lao Wei to ask Shen Tong quickly and tell him immediately if there was anything that needed his intervention.
Shen Tong locked himself in his room all afternoon, worrying about Xu Xia's safety. After a fierce ideological struggle, he became much calmer. He would eventually return to Shihe Town or become a village cadre in Qiaobei Village. Xia BubuTong, this is related to her life's happiness. If she really lost her child, she would probably have a death wish.
He was very quiet when he was alone, surprisingly quiet. After smoking the last cigarette, Shen Tong stubbed it out, picked up the phone and called Li Mingming: "Mingbang, I don't care if you are okay now, you Now go back to the village to pick me up and take me to the provincial capital." Shen Tong couldn't sit still and wait for death. He wanted to know Xu Xia's situation and he had to stand up bravely and take on everything.
Shen Tong drove to the provincial capital and called Du Jingjing first. There was no other way. Du Jingjing was not surprised at all when she received Shen Tong's call and agreed to meet at a coffee shop.
After meeting, Shen Tong couldn't wait to ask about Xu Xia's situation. Du Jingjing comforted Shen Tong and said: "Xu Xia is fine over there. She just suffered some skin trauma and the fetus is fine." After hearing this, Shen Tong suddenly fell down. On the seat, he let out a sigh of relief.
Shen Tong felt relieved, but Du Jingjing felt heartbroken. How she hoped that something would happen to the child in Xu Xia's belly, and then the Zheng family kicked Xu Xia out of the house in anger, and she would naturally walk into a wealthy family and become a veritable The daughter-in-law of the Zheng family. However, contrary to expectations, the child in Xu Xia's belly was fatal. Under the careful treatment of the doctor, she was saved.
Du Jingjing felt resentful in her heart and started to tease Shen Tong: "Shen Tong, it's not my sister who said you, you and Xu Xia were born for each other, but you let Zheng Weijun fight for love, I'm sorry for you. What's wrong with the contact? ?Isn’t this normal?”
Shen Tong didn't know what Du Jingjing's purpose was, and he didn't want to hear it now. He didn't say anything: "Sister Du, do me a favor and ask Zheng Weijun out. There are some things I want to explain to him face to face. "
Du Jingjing put the coffee on the table and said slowly: "Shen Tong, do you think it is a wise choice for you to meet Zheng Weijun at this time?"
Shen Tong was eager to clear Xu Xia's name at this time and said: "I can't control that much anymore, can you help me?"
Du Jingjing said nothing, slowly opened her bag from the table, took out her mobile phone, and dialed it in front of Shen Tong.
No one answered the phone! Du Jingjing said: "There's nothing I can do about it. Shen Tong, listen to my sister's advice. This is not the time to be angry. It's not too late to wait until both parties have calmed down before talking. Isn't it right to meet you at this time?" Are you going to hit the muzzle of the gun? To be honest with you, sister, when Zheng Weijun learned that you were still in contact with Xu Xia, he wanted to eat you, so don’t provoke him."
Shen Tong still couldn't listen and said, "Where is Zheng Weijun now? I'll go find him."
"I don't know, I didn't see him today either." Du Jingjing lost patience and planned to end the conversation.
Wu Jiangkai, like Ding Qingxiang, was shut out in front of Zhu Yusen. Ding Qingxiang finally got on the phone with Zhu Yusen, but Wu Jiangkai couldn't even get in. Wu Jiangkai had no choice but to return in despair when he didn't see anyone. He just left Longzhong. City, he received a call from the office of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, asking where he was and asking him to come over within half an hour. Minister Zheng wanted to see him.
After receiving this inexplicable phone call, Wu Jiangkai's heart beat wildly. You know what it meant for the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister to directly summon him. Did he have another important responsibility? He didn't have time to think too much and asked Liu Haidong to increase his power and rush to the Provincial Party Committee building. It usually takes more than ten minutes to travel, but tonight it only took half the time.
The Provincial Party Committee Building is still brightly lit. Wu Jiangkai used to go in and out of here often with Governor Qiu, but since his transfer, he has never set foot here again. Today, I revisited the old place, and my mood was different.
After getting on the elevator, Wu Jiangkai could not calm down. He felt as if he was floating. He didn't know which leg to take. His unconcealable mood was so obvious that he even began to daydream about which position he would be transferred to.
As soon as he exited the elevator door, a capable young man came over and asked with a serious face: "Are you Wu Jiangkai, the county party secretary of Dongquan County?"
Wu Jiangkai smiled and nodded, and was about to reach out to shake hands. Unexpectedly, the young man put on the stereotyped face of a work organization cadre and said: "Please follow me."
Wu Jiangkai followed the young man, and the sound of leather shoes sounded in his ears, like a beating pulse, one after another, hitting the bottom of his heart.
Within a short distance of more than ten meters, Wu Jiangkai broke out in a cold sweat. When he arrived at the door of an office, he stopped. The young man said aggressively: "You wait outside, I will go in and inform you." After that, he knocked on the door and went in. .
Through the door, Wu Jiangkai could hear Minister Zheng's bell-like voice, but judging by his tone, it seemed that Minister Zheng was not happy.
After Wu Jiangkai entered, he quickly stood at attention and took a breath. He bowed respectfully and introduced himself: "Hello, Minister Zheng. I am Wu Jiangkai, the county party secretary of Dongquan County. Please give me your instructions."
Minister Zheng looked tired, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down."
Wu Jiangkai was so nervous just now that he didn't notice anyone sitting on the sofa. What surprised him even more was that the other person was Xu Tingyuan, Secretary of the Zhaobei Municipal Party Committee. He lowered his head and looked confused and haggard.
