While Qiao Liang was deep in thought, Ye Xinyi on the side said, "Who is that person? Does he know you?"
"I don't know. Lu Qian and I hit him while racing last time. We asked people from the police station to arrest him. Unexpectedly, he was released when he turned around. I heard from Lu Qian that Secretary Lu Ming personally called him to let him go. ." Qiao Liang explained.
"It turns out that the background is so tough, no wonder he is so rampant." Ye Xinyi suddenly realized.
"A young man like this doesn't know the bounds of the world. Sooner or later he will suffer." Qiao Liang snorted, "Let's go back."
The three of them returned to the rented apartment complex and walked into the gate. They did not notice that there was a black car parked on the side of the gate of the complex. In the driver's seat, Song Liang was smoking a cigarette dullly and staring at the complex. At the gate, looking at Qiao Liang, Ye Xinyi, and Shao Bingyu, they walked into the community talking and laughing.
Song Liang called Shao Bingyu seven or eight times tonight, but Shao Bingyu didn't answer any of them. When he saw that Shao Bingyu was with Qiao Liang, Song Liang looked a little unhappy. Fortunately, Shao Bingyu was not alone with Qiao Liang. Along with Liang, there was also Ye Xinyi, which made Song Liang's face less ugly.
At this moment, Song Liang was smoking silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
The phone suddenly came to mind. Song Liang looked at the number and frowned slightly. The call was from Xu Honggang. The other party had been trying to win over him recently and frequently showed his kindness to him. He would also call him from time to time. , wanted to invite him out for dinner and drinks, but after Song Liang went there once, he found reasons to decline.
After hesitating for a moment, Song Liang answered the phone.
"Mr. Song, are you free now? Come out for a late-night snack together." Xu Honggang smiled on the other end of the phone.
Song Liang hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I happen to be free now. Mayor Xu can send me an address, and I'll be there right away."
Xu Hong was quite happy when he saw Song Liang's agreement and quickly sent Song Liang his address.
…
A night of silence.
The next day, Songbei County Courtyard.
Acting County Magistrate Guan Zhitao's face suddenly changed after he received a phone call. The call was from the director of the County People's Congress. The executive meeting of the County People's Congress, originally scheduled to be held the day after tomorrow, suddenly removed the issue of his appointment as Acting Magistrate. This sudden change without warning made Guan Zhitao a little confused. After a brief period of confusion, he smelled an unknown smell and anxiously asked the other party what was going on. The other party politely answered that he could not understand. It's what the city means.
Guan Zhitao's face turned pale when he heard this. What does the city mean? Who does the city mean? What does it mean?
Guan Zhitao hung up the phone blankly, not even thinking about talking to the other party. After being in a daze for a while, Guan Zhitao anxiously dialed the number of Xu Honggang's secretary Xue Yuan.
While waiting, Guan Zhitao took a deep breath to calm down. When the call was connected, Guan Zhitao even treated Xue Yuan with some respect, "Chief Xue, is Mayor Xu free now?" I have something urgent to look for him."
"County Magistrate, please wait a moment while I ask." Xue Yuan replied.
Xue Yuan walked into Xu Honggang's office with his mobile phone, pressed the receiver and said, "Mayor Xu, the county magistrate of Songbei is calling for you. Do you want to answer it?"
"What's wrong with him?" Xu Honggang frowned.
"They said it was urgent, but they didn't say anything specific," Xue Yuan said.
"Give me the phone." Xu Honggang stretched out his hand after hearing this.
Xue Yuan quickly handed the phone to Xu Honggang, who took it and said, "Comrade Zhitao, what can I do for you?"
"Mayor Xu, the executive meeting of our county people's congress originally scheduled to be held the day after tomorrow has removed the issue of my appointment, saying it is the city's will. Mayor Xu, this... what is going on?" Guan Zhi Thao asked cautiously.
"Is there such a thing?" Xu Honggang's eyes narrowed.
"It's absolutely true, the director of the National People's Congress just called me." Guan Zhitao said hurriedly.
"I don't know about this matter, don't worry, I will understand the situation." Xu Honggang said.
"Okay, then I'll wait for news from you, Mayor Xu." Guan Zhitao said hurriedly.
After hanging up the phone, Guan Zhitao let out a sigh of relief. Even Xu Honggang didn't know about this matter, which meant that this was not what Xu Honggang meant. This made Guan Zhitao feel a little more at ease. He relied on Xu Honggang to get here. Xu Honggang continued to support him, so no matter whose intention it was, things had not yet reached the worst point.
But even though he comforted himself in this way, Guan Zhitao was still worried. The city could completely bypass Xu Honggang and give such instructions to the county. I am afraid that Secretary Wu was the only one. What did he do? Did the things that made Secretary Wu dissatisfied make him angry?
Guan Zhitao thought hard and was puzzled. He had no chance to directly contact Secretary Wu, let alone did anything to dissatisfy him. Why would the other party target him?
Making random guesses in his mind, Guan Zhitao knew that all this was just his guess, and now he could only wait for Xu Honggang's call.
After sitting in the office for a while, Guan Zhitao couldn't sit still. He felt that he couldn't wait so passively and had to go to the city immediately. After all, he was still a bit indifferent in front of Xu Honggang. He had to go to Jiang Shengchen and let Jiang Shengchen do it at this time. Also say a few words to him. After all, it was Jiang Shengchen who recommended him to Xu Honggang before.
Guan Zhitao thought to himself and rushed to the city immediately.
In the city compound, Xu Honggang came to Wu Huiwen's office immediately after learning about the relevant situation.
Xu Honggang has already asked clearly that Guan Zhitao's matter was Wu Huiwen's instruction.
"Comrade Hong Gang, what's the matter?" Wu Huiwen asked Xu Honggang to sit down and asked with a smile.
"Secretary Wu, I heard that it was you who asked Guan Zhitao to wait a while in Songbei County?" Xu Honggang asked straight to the point.
"Well, that's right." Wu Huiwen nodded calmly. There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and it was impossible to hide it from Xu Honggang.
When Xu Honggang saw Wu Huiwen's admission, he was a little dissatisfied and said, "Secretary Wu, you were the one who approved the promotion and appointment of Guan Zhitao. Why do you want to block him like this at the end now?"
"Comrade Hong Gang, the promotion of Guan Zhitao was based on your recommendation. However, I have heard some reports in the past two days. There is some not very good feedback about Guan Zhitao. Therefore, I personally recommend that you promote Guan Zhitao. His official appointment will be delayed for a while." Wu Huiwen said.
"Secretary Wu, I wonder whose report you are listening to?" Xu Honggang said in a deep voice.
"When this is clarified, I will have someone explain it to Comrade Hong Gang in detail." Wu Huiwen did not answer directly.
After hearing this, Xu Honggang's eyes were a little gloomy. He vaguely guessed that the disciplinary department was behind the scenes, but Wu Huiwen refused to say it clearly. Xu Honggang couldn't continue to ask, but he felt a little angry in his heart. Could it be that Zheng Shidong was secretly talking to him? Against?
Thoughts flashed through Xu Honggang's mind, and Qiao Liang suddenly appeared in Xu Honggang's mind...
Seeing that Wu Huiwen refused to reveal the truth, Xu Honggang did not stay in Wu Huiwen's office for long. After chatting with Wu Huiwen for a few minutes, Xu Honggang said goodbye and left.
Back in his office, Xu Honggang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking for a moment. Xu Honggang closed the office door, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
The phone rang for a while before the person on the other side answered it. The other person obviously lowered his voice deliberately and said, "Mayor Xu, what's the matter?"
"What cases is your disciplinary department investigating these days?" Xu Honggang asked in a deep voice.
"Mayor Xu, we have investigated many cases, which one are you specifically referring to?" the other party asked.
"Is there anything related to Guan Zhitao?" Xu Honggang asked again.
When the other party heard this, he immediately said, "Mayor Xu, how is this possible? Didn't Guan Zhitao just be promoted to the county magistrate of Songbei County? How can we dare to investigate such a newly promoted cadre?"
"Are you sure?" Xu Honggang frowned.
"Mayor Xu, as far as I know, there are no cases related to Guan Zhitao." The other party said with certainty.
After thinking about it, he seemed to feel that he had said too much, so the other party quickly added, "Mayor Xu, but some cases were handled by the new Secretary Qiao himself, and I don't know about it either."
"Why, even your own insiders don't know?" Xu Honggang asked.
"That's for sure. We also have confidentiality rules for internal case handling, and some cases are required to be kept confidential before they are made public." The other party nodded and said, "Especially after Secretary Qiao took office, he put extra emphasis on case handling discipline. Now Secretary Zheng is a little bit Secretary Qiao almost always decides whether to let go of the boss or all matters in the committee."
Hearing what the other party said, Xu Honggang's heart sank. If Qiao Liang was now in charge of matters in the disciplinary department, then Qiao Liang might really be the one behind Guan Zhitao's affairs.
The more Xu Honggang thought about it, the more likely it was that Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi were closely related, and the other party might be secretly making small moves because Ye Xinyi could not become the county magistrate.
Thinking in his mind, Xu Honggang said again, "Please help me find out if your committee is currently investigating any cases related to Guan Zhitao."
"Okay, I'll ask around later." The other party agreed.
"Well, let me know as soon as possible if anything happens," Xu Honggang said.
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. Near noon, Xu Honggang received a call from Jiang Shengchen, asking him to have lunch with him. Xu Honggang guessed that it might be related to Guan Zhitao's matter, so he directly agreed.
Arriving at the hotel booked by Jiang Shengchen, Xu Hong saw Guan Zhitao was there as soon as he entered the private room, and his face became slightly stern, knowing that he had guessed it.
"Mayor Xu." Jiang Shengchen saw Xu Honggang coming and stood up respectfully. Guan Zhitao on the side also greeted Xu Honggang and respectfully helped Xu Honggang pull out his chair.
Xu Honggang acted like the mayor in front of Guan Zhitao, nodded lightly, looked at Guan Zhitao and said, "Comrade Zhitao, what's the matter with you? At this juncture, don't you yourself know how to pay more attention?" Do you want some?"
"Mayor Xu, I don't even know what's going on." Guan Zhitao looked at Xu Honggang innocently.
