Chen Zhenggang curled his lips and said, "Whether you can seek leniency depends on whether you cooperate with the investigation of our disciplinary department."
Lu Ming's eyes flickered and he said, "Secretary Chen, since I have decided to surrender, I will naturally fully cooperate with the disciplinary department's investigation regarding my issues."
When Chen Zhenggang heard this, he gave Lu Ming a meaningful look, "Besides your problem? Is there anything else?"
Lu Ming blinked, "Secretary Chen, what issues are you referring to?"
Chen Zhenggang said calmly, "Lu Ming, I believe you understand what I'm talking about."
Lu Ming's eyes rolled. Chen Zhenggang said this. Lu Ming vaguely guessed that the other party was secretly pointing at Xu Honggang. Before deciding to surrender, Lu Ming had actually thought about this issue. In the past, when he surrendered, in addition to taking the initiative to explain his problems, he also faced The choice is whether to throw Xu Honggang out as well.
Lu Ming knew very well that if his initiative to cooperate with the disciplinary department to investigate his problems could only be regarded as a good performance in the investigation process, then he had made a meritorious service by expelling Xu Honggang, which would be helpful for him in seeking leniency. Very helpful.
But Lu Ming has not yet decided whether to let Xu Honggang out. He must weigh the pros and cons here, whether to do it or not. This may not only involve him and Xu Honggang, but also Su Huaxin who is above him. Come out, as the saying goes, pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. He and Su Huaxin didn't have much direct contact. There was Xu Honggang between them, but if he bit Xu Honggang out, Su Huaxin would probably be in trouble.
Lu Ming, whose eyes were flickering and still not thinking clearly, had a sloppy look at Chen Zhenggang and said, "Secretary Chen, as long as the disciplinary department needs me to cooperate with the investigation, I will fully cooperate."
Chen Zhenggang stared at Lu Ming, "Lu Ming, I hope you can do what you say. Whether you can achieve meritorious service depends mainly on your actual actions, not just your words."
Lu Ming nodded in agreement, with a smile on his face, and said, "Secretary Chen, can you arrange for someone to wash me up first? Look at me like this..."
After hearing what Lu Ming said, Chen Zhenggang glanced at Lu Ming again. Lu Ming not only looked sloppy now, but also had an unpleasant smell on his body. He probably hadn't taken a shower in the past few days since he ran away. Chen Zhenggang was not unkind. The man nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then you go and rinse it first."
Someone took Lu Ming to rinse. Chen Zhenggang was thinking about Lu Ming. At this time, his cell phone rang. Chen Zhenggang picked it up and looked at it. When he saw that it was Zheng Guohong, he picked up the call immediately.
The phone was connected, and Zheng Guohong's cheerful voice came over, "Comrade Zhenggang, where are you? I saw you left in a hurry after the meeting this morning. Is there something urgent?"
Chen Zhenggang smiled and replied, "Secretary Zheng, I have something to do at the committee's case handling base, but it's not an urgent matter."
Zheng Guohong smiled and said, "If there's nothing urgent, then come over and have lunch together."
Chen Zhenggang looked at the time after hearing this. It was already noon. Thinking that he had to report to Zheng Guohong about Lu Ming's surrender, Chen Zhenggang immediately agreed, "Secretary Zheng, where are you? I'll go over now."
Zheng Guohong smiled and said, "I'm still in the office now. Just go back to the compound. Let's have a light meal in the cafeteria."
Chen Zhenggang said, "Then I'll go back right away."
Chen Zhenggang hung up the phone, explained the matter about Lu Ming to the investigators below, and immediately returned to the provincial compound.
In the government canteen in the compound, Zheng Guohong was already waiting for Chen Zhenggang in his private private room. As soon as Chen Zhenggang arrived, he hurriedly said, "Secretary Zheng, I'm really sorry. There was a traffic jam on the road and I kept you waiting for so long."
It was already 12:30, and Chen Zhenggang walked in from the cafeteria. There were only a few people dining there. Chen Zhenggang estimated that Zheng Guohong had been waiting for him for a while.
Zheng Guohong smiled and said, "It's okay, I just came down from the office."
After inviting Chen Zhenggang to sit down, Zheng Guohong asked, "Comrade Zhenggang, I just asked the chef in the cafeteria to cook some noodles. Do you want to eat noodles with me or something else?"
Chen Zhenggang laughed when he heard this and said, "Then I'll just eat the noodles, so I don't have to start a new business again."
Zheng Guohong nodded and immediately asked his secretary to ask the chef in the cafeteria to order more noodles. He then asked, "Comrade Zhenggang, that Lu Ming from Jiangzhou City has been running away for so many days. Is there no news yet?"
When Chen Zhenggang heard Zheng Guohong ask this, he was a little stunned. He was about to come over to report the matter to Zheng Guohong, but he didn't expect Zheng Guohong to take the initiative to ask. This was really a coincidence.
Zheng Guohong saw Chen Zhenggang's expression was different and asked with a smile, "Comrade Zhenggang, what's wrong?"
Chen Zhenggang said, "Secretary Zheng, to be honest, I was just about to report this matter to you."
Zheng Guohong said blankly, "Really? That's really a coincidence."
Chen Zhenggang said, "Secretary Zheng, this morning, Lu Ming called me and said that he wanted to surrender and asked me to send a car to pick him up. No, our people have just gone to the trouble of bringing Lu Ming to the case handling base."
Zheng Guohong suddenly realized, "You left in a hurry after the meeting because of Lu Ming's matter?"
Chen Zhenggang nodded and said, "Yes."
Zheng Guohong asked, "Did Lu Ming explain anything?"
Chen Zhenggang shook his head and said, "Secretary Zheng, before I had time to talk to him, Lu Ming has been on the run for many days, and now he is just like a savage who came out of the deep mountains and old forests. He asked to be washed first, so I agreed. , you happened to call, so I came over to your side first."
Zheng Guohong nodded and suddenly said something seemingly unrelated, "Not long after the meeting in the morning, the head of the organization department at the top suddenly called me to ask me about Comrade Su Huaxin's situation and my personal views on it. His opinion."
Chen Zhenggang was stunned when he heard this. At this time, he didn't think much about anything else. He subconsciously asked, "Secretary Zheng, are you considering letting Comrade Su Huaxin take over Comrade Guan Xinmin's position?"
Zheng Guohong nodded lightly, "The superiors are indeed inspecting Comrade Su Huaxin."
Chen Zhenggang's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that Guan Xinmin was gone in the polls. Unexpectedly, the biggest beneficiary turned out to be Su Huaxin, who was now the third-in-command in the province and undoubtedly had a greater advantage than others to take over Guan Xinmin's position.
Chen Zhenggang was thinking secretly when he heard Zheng Guohong say something without any beginning or end, "The reason why Lu Ming was able to join the municipal team was because Comrade Su Huaxin and the provincial organization department recommended and promoted him."
Zheng Guohong's topic jump was a bit big. Chen Zhenggang didn't react for a while and replied, "Lu Ming and Xu Honggang are very close, and Xu Honggang has an alumni relationship with Comrade Su Huaxin. The two are very close. It is estimated that Lu Ming got it through Xu Honggang." It was only through my high-level relationship that I was recommended by Comrade Su Huaxin."
Chen Zhenggang obviously answered Zheng Guohong's words in a matter-of-fact manner. Zheng Guohong smiled lightly, knowing that Chen Zhenggang did not really understand what he meant, and said, "Comrade Zhenggang, this is a critical moment for the organization department's inspection. Although we can't decide anything, we still have to help. It's a good lock, don't you think?"
Zheng Guohong's words finally made Chen Zhenggang realize it belatedly. Co-author Zheng Guohong suddenly asked Lu Ming about this matter. In fact, he wanted to know whether Lu Ming's case would involve Su Huaxin. From the tone of Zheng Guohong's words now revealed , the other party is obviously not willing to see Su Huaxin take over Guan Xinmin's position.
After understanding what Zheng Guohong meant, Chen Zhenggang's expression suddenly became solemn. What Zheng Guohong wants to know now involves a lot!
After a moment of silence, Chen Zhenggang said, "Secretary Zheng, I will investigate Lu Ming's case as soon as possible."
Chen Zhenggang did not directly express his position because he did not want to be involved in personnel struggles, especially when it came to Su Huaxin's level. How could he participate casually? Chen Zhenggang just wanted to concentrate on doing his own work and did not want to get involved with the rest. .
In fact, Chen Zhenggang somewhat misunderstood what Zheng Guohong meant. Although Zheng Guohong did not agree with Su Huaxin's replacement of Guan Xinmin, when his superiors approached him to understand the situation and asked for his opinions and views, Zheng Guohong also had something to say, and he was pragmatic and honest. I told you what I knew, and I didn't deliberately add fuel to the fire or make baseless claims. In Zheng Guohong's position, he would not speak freely without evidence. When a person is in a high position, he must be cautious in his words and deeds. These four words.
The reason why Zheng Guohong immediately asked Chen Zhenggang about Lu Ming was not because Chen Zhenggang deliberately pointed Lu Ming's case to Su Huaxin, but because Zheng Guohong hoped to urge the disciplinary department to speed up the handling of the case by asking about the matter himself. If Su Huaxin is really involved in the cases of Lu Ming and Xu Honggang, he can report it to his superiors immediately to prevent Su Huaxin from being promoted while ill.
At this time, seeing that Chen Zhenggang might have misunderstood what he meant, Zheng Guohong said again, "Comrade Zhenggang, whether it is Lu Ming's case or Xu Honggang's case, your disciplinary department must investigate quickly, especially at this critical moment. If we can investigate something in time, we can report it to the superiors. This is also our duty. Of course, the premise of all investigations should be based on facts and be able to stand the test, what do you think?"
Chen Zhenggang nodded and said, "Secretary Zheng, you are right."
Zheng Guohong nodded and said nothing more. After the two of them finished eating, Zheng Guohong returned to the office, while Chen Zhenggang rushed back to the case handling base again.
Lu Ming had already washed up and put on clean clothes. When Chen Zheng just came back, Lu Ming was eating the lunch that the case investigators had packed for him and reading the newspapers of the past two days while eating.
Lu Ming didn't dare to use his phone much because it was out of battery. He has been in a relatively closed state of information these days and is not very clear about what is happening in the outside world. Therefore, Lu Ming is now eager to know what happened in the past few days. incident, and his mobile phone was confiscated by investigators, and now his only source of information is newspapers.
