"Oh..." Gao Hanlin stamped his feet: "Leader, how can such a shrewd person like you do such a stupid thing? I... I really don't know what to say..."
"Jin Xin's matter has touched my bottom line, and it is impossible for me to give in." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head.
"But...but you lost the opportunity to compete for mayor because of this!" Gao Hanlin said anxiously: "Is it worth it?"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded seriously: "I think it's worth it! Power is important, but conscience is more important. I can't sell my conscience just to have higher power. Maybe you think I'm stupid, but I have to do this.
Do it." Ma Xiaoyao said firmly.
Being removed from the position of acting mayor, Ma Xiaoyao must have felt disappointed and sad, but he did not regret it. It is still the same sentence: The road he chose is his own. No matter what difficulties and setbacks he encounters, he will bear it with all his strength.
, you will never regret it.
Up to now, Ma Xiaoyao also thinks that he is right and has not done anything wrong. It is Fang Datong who is wrong. Fang Datong can bend the law for personal gain in order to repay his favor. He is still small-minded and has no tolerance for others. When he encounters such a man with unsteady principles,
The leader can only say that Ma Xiaoyao is unlucky.
Originally Ma Xiaoyao's opinion of Fang Datong was quite high, but after this incident, Fang Datong's impression in Ma Xiaoyao's heart dropped significantly.
Ma Xiaoyao walked over, reached out and patted the ugly-faced Gao Hanlin, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if I can't become the mayor, I can still be the deputy mayor. I don't believe that Secretary Fang can still remove me. As long as
As long as I'm here, you won't let others bully you."
Ma Xiaoyao has said this, what else can Gao Hanlin say? He can only nod his head with a lonely expression: "No matter what official position you take or where you go, I will never leave you. I, Gao Hanlin, will always be by your side."
Pawn, whatever you ask me to do, I will do it!"
"I'm very happy that you can say that." Ma Xiaoyao smiled and said, "You don't have to be depressed. Everyone will encounter setbacks in life. I failed this time, but I will succeed next time!"
Seeing that Ma Xiaoyao was so open-minded, Gao Hanlin secretly admired him. He was worthy of being a leader. His mind was broader than that of ordinary people.
Since Ma Xiaoyao was removed from his position as acting mayor, the hostility of the two deputy mayors, Lu Haifeng and Qin Mingyue, towards him has suddenly reduced a lot, and they will take the initiative to say hello to Ma Xiaoyao when they meet. This can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
Lu Haifeng and Qin Mingyue shifted their hostility to Sun Maoqi, and competed with Sun Maoqi overtly and covertly, which made Sun Maoqi very depressed. However, Sun Maoqi also had his own methods. He wanted to join forces with Ma Xiaoyao to deal with Lu Haifeng and Qin Mingyue, but was scolded by Ma Xiaoyao.
He refused, but Ma Xiaoyao also promised Sun Maoqi that he would remain neutral and would not support Sun Maoqi, nor Lu Haifeng and Qin Mingyue. In the end, Sun Maoqi had no choice but to fight alone and fight against Lu Haifeng and Qin Mingyue.
Mingyue joins forces to suppress.
…
Liu Yuncai burst into Fang Datong's office angrily and asked with a livid face: "You removed Ma Xiaoyao from his position as acting mayor!"
Fang Datong raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Liu Yuncai, and nodded slightly: "Is there any problem?"
"The problem is big!" Liu Yuncai clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Leader, I didn't expect you to be so small-minded? Just because Ma Xiaoyao refused to release Jin Xin, you removed Ma Xiaoyao from the position of acting mayor, you...
...You are so wanton and reckless..."
Fang Datong's face darkened: "You don't need to comment on how I do things! I'm very busy at work and I don't have time to chat with you here. You can go out quickly." After saying that, Fang Datong lowered his head and stopped talking to Liu Yuncai.
"Ma Xiaoyao is a rare talent. You will definitely regret giving up on him!" After saying that, Liu Yuncai turned around and angrily walked towards the door. After taking two steps, Liu Yuncai stopped and turned to look at Fang Datong.
"I think Ma Xiaoyao did nothing wrong at all. Jin Xin dared to be lawless because he had Mr. Jin to support him. If it were me, I would punish Jin Xin severely!" After saying this, Liu Yuncai took a big step.
Leave.
"Bastard!" Fang Datong's face showed deep anger: "It seems that my temper is so good that my subordinates dare to contradict me in person! I must become stricter in the future so that everyone below will be afraid of me.
!You don’t even dare to talk back to me!”
…
At Ma Xiaoyao's insistence, Jin Xin was finally sentenced to fifteen years in prison and fined a lot of money in accordance with the law. Officials who colluded with Jin Xin also received varying degrees of severe punishment, including those who were dismissed from their posts and those who were sentenced.
As for the sentencing, in a word, officials who are involved with Jin Xin will not end well.
Through this incident, Ma Xiaoyao's prestige in Lanhai City has become higher. At the same time, Fang Datong's opinion of Ma Xiaoyao has also deepened. Ma Xiaoyao has made him lose face, and Fang Datong will not let Ma Xiaoyao go easily.
Knowing that Fang Datong was eyeing him, Ma Xiaoyao became more cautious in doing things. For a while, Fang Datong couldn't catch Ma Xiaoyao.
The wind was gentle and the clouds were calm, and a week passed before I knew it.
This week has been relatively calm, and nothing particularly big happened.
Since he was removed from his position as acting mayor, Ma Xiaoyao has become more relaxed. He goes to work and off work on time every day, and occasionally takes Lei Dazhuang to a restaurant. He leads a very comfortable life.
This morning, an old friend found Ma Xiaoyao. This old friend was Tang Mingchuan, the director of the Special Investigation Bureau.
"Director Tang? Why are you here?" Ma Xiaoyao looked very surprised.
Tang Mingchuan smiled slightly: "I have been promoted to deputy director now, and I am no longer the director of the first division."
"This is a good thing." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "You have been promoted, but you must treat us!"
Tang Mingchuan nodded magnanimously: "No problem, I will treat you tonight. You can choose the hotel as you like. I guarantee that you will come back with a lot of fun tonight!"
"Then I won't be polite!" Ma Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "I will kill you hard tonight! I'll make you bleed hard like a hairless iron cock!"
"You are the iron rooster! I am very generous, okay!" Tang Mingchuan said dissatisfied.
"Tch!" Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips disdainfully: "You actually have the nerve to say that you are generous? I'm really ashamed for you! Take the last time for example, you clearly promised to treat me to a big dinner, but in the end
But you only treated me to a bowl of ramen, which cost ten yuan in total... I have never seen such a stingy person like you!"
"You...your mouth can really choke someone to death!" Tang Mingchuan waved his hand: "Okay, I won't chat with you anymore, let's talk about something serious." Tang Mingchuan pulled out a chair and sat down, casually taking out a stick.
He lit the cigarette and took a puff: "Comrade Ma Xiaoyao, your trouble is about to come."
Ma Xiaoyao frowned suddenly: "What do you mean? Make it clear!"
Tang Mingchuan blew out a puff of smoke: "The Temple and the Blood Wolf Society have made peace."
"What?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on his face: "How is this possible? Do the Temple and the Blood Wolf have sworn hatred? How could the two sides shake hands and make peace? This
It’s all science!”
"It's unbelievable, isn't it?" Tang Mingchuan smiled bitterly: "Don't say you don't believe it. Even when I first got the news, I was full of disbelief. But... this is the fact. The Temple and the Blood Wolf Society did shake hands.
Peace."
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Why?"
"Because the Holy Temple is too domineering and powerful." Tang Mingchuan explained: "In the beginning, in order to save face, the Holy Temple fought head-on with the Blood Wolf Society. There were several countries behind the Blood Wolf Society, so the Holy Temple did not ask for help at all.
There was no benefit. Later, the temple changed its strategy, stopped confronting the Blood Wolf Society, and then sent a large number of high-level assassins to carry out assassinations. Big figures in many countries were assassinated, and even some members of the Blood Wolf Society were driven crazy.
The assassination... The Temple itself is a killer organization. Who can be their opponent in assassination? In the end, the Blood Wolf Association had no choice but to swallow its nerves and shake hands with the Temple to make peace."
Ma Xiaoyao listened quietly and said nothing.
Tang Mingchuan took a puff of cigarette and continued: "At first, Brahma, the president of the Blood Wolf Society, did not agree to shake hands with the temple and make peace, but he couldn't stand the pressure put on him by many countries, so he had to compromise in the end. To put it bluntly, Blood Wolf Society
The Wolf Society is a puppet, a puppet of the countries behind it. The big figures in those countries are afraid of being assassinated by the temple, so they can only pinch their noses and admit defeat, but these countries also put forward conditions..." At this point, Tang Mingchuan glanced
A glance at Ma Xiaoyao: "Comrade Ma Xiaoyao, guess what conditions those countries put forward to the temple?"
Ma Xiaoyao rolled his eyes: "I'm not a god, how could I know this! Okay, you've been betrayed, tell me now!"
Tang Mingchuan chirped: "Those countries put forward two conditions in total. First, the Temple is not allowed to assassinate important figures in their countries in the future. Second, the Temple must live in peace with the Blood Wolf Society and no more disputes can occur."
"Has the Temple agreed?" After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips: "I really asked a stupid question. The Temple has even shaken hands with the Blood Wolf Society, which means that the Temple has agreed to those two
condition."
Tang Mingchuan raised his thumb and exclaimed with an exaggerated expression: "Smart! You are so smart, you can even guess this! I admire you, I admire you!"
Ma Xiaoyao glared at Tang Mingchuan: "If you don't compliment me, you'll feel uncomfortable, right?"
"Hehe... you really hit the mark." Tang Mingchuan chuckled and said, "When I saw you pretending to be serious, I got so angry that I couldn't help but want to deal with you." Seeing Ma Xiaoyao
Showing signs of getting angry, Tang Mingchuan hurriedly changed the subject: "Okay, let's get down to business... Ahem... Well, where did you just say that? Oh, yes, I remembered it. Although the temple has promised multiple
The state made a condition, but the temple also made a condition."
