Thinking about it all the way, the black car stopped in front of a hotel in the suburbs. Everyone got out of the car, and the woman walked in front. Two young men took Qiao Liang's arm and entered the hotel. They went straight to the elevator and went to an ordinary single room on the fifth floor.
There is a single bed, three chairs and a table in the room. There is a spotlight shelf next to the table.
The woman pointed to the chair opposite the table and said to Qiao Liang: "Sit-"
Qiao Liang sat down and looked at them, confused and uneasy, but he didn't know what to say. Too many words lead to mistakes. In this situation, saying the wrong thing will cause irreparable consequences.
The woman and a young man sat across the table. The other young man poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Qiao Liang. Then he looked at the woman and said in a respectful tone: "Director Zhang, I'm going out first."
The woman nodded, and the young man closed the door and went out.
Qiao Liang understood immediately, and her heart trembled. This cold and charming woman turned out to be Zhang Lin, director of the third room of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
The Third Office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection is in charge of more than 20 units of the municipal publicity system. Although Zhang Lin is a female, she is well-known in the circle. Just two years after taking office as the director of the Third Office, the publicity system already has 2 principal departments, 5 deputy departments, and 13
Department-level cadres were investigated and punished by her.
Zhang Lin's husband died in the line of duty a few years ago. Because of her ruthless and ruthless handling of cases, and the fact that she often wore black clothes, people in her circle gave her the nickname "Black Widow".
All the cadres in the propaganda system talked about Zhang Changqing, fearing that one day she would invite her to tea.
I didn’t expect that I would fall into her hands today!
Zhang Lin looked at Qiao Liang, her tone was no longer as serious as before, and even a little gentle: "Qiao Liang, drink some water."
Qiao Liang picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then looked at Zhang Lin: "Director Zhang, you brought me here..."
"Qiao Liang, we brought you here today to ask you something in accordance with the case handling procedures, at the specified time and at the specified location. We hope that you will actively cooperate with us in a responsible attitude towards the organization." Zhang Lin's tone became even more intense.
He was gentle and even smiled a little.
Zhang Lin has a beautiful smile and has the charm of a mature woman.
But Qiao Liang had no time to savor it at this time. The more the woman smiled, the more serious the problem was.
It is a common practice of the Discipline Inspection Commission to treat people with courtesy first and then attack with force.
Qiao Liang nodded quickly: "Okay, Director Zhang, I will definitely cooperate."
"Tell us about Li Youwei's violation of laws and disciplines." Zhang Lin got straight to the point and tapped the table with her right ring finger.
Qiao Liang's head buzzed, something was wrong, something happened to the boss!
Qiao Liang privately called Li Youwei boss.
When Qiao Liang graduated from Jiangzhou University and returned to his hometown of Sanjiang County, he took the county civil service examination and was admitted as a member of the County Party Committee Propaganda Department with the first overall score. Because Qiao Liang was diligent and discerning, he won the title of Propaganda Minister of the County Party Committee at the time.
Li Youwei's appreciation. After Li Youwei was transferred to Jiangzhou Daily as the top leader, he also transferred Qiao Liang and was promoted to the office director step by step.
Qiao Liang also received a call from Li Youwei this afternoon. Li Youwei was very concerned about his interview tomorrow and specially gave him some precautions.
Qiao Liang was very touched by Li Youwei's concern because he knew that Li Youwei had recently been busy competing with Chu Heng, the Municipal Director of Radio and Television, for the Executive Deputy Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee.
Although Li Youwei and Chu Heng are currently in the same position as the Executive Deputy Minister, the Executive Deputy Minister is the second-in-command of the Propaganda Department, and there is obviously much more room for improvement in the next step, so both of them are striving for it.
Unexpectedly, something happened to Li Youwei suddenly, without any warning in advance.
Qiao Liang was very confused at this time. He was Li Youwei's confidant in the newspaper office, so the Discipline Inspection Commission would look for him. Maybe Li Youwei was being questioned in a certain room of the hotel at this time.
What can I do?
Why didn't Li Youwei do it sooner rather than later, but why did something happen at this time?
Why did the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission take me away on the eve of my interview with the deputy director?
Is this just a coincidence? Or...
Qiao Liang was confused and panicked, and felt a chill running down his spine.
After following Li Youwei for so many years from Sanjiang to Jiangzhou, I know a lot of things about him. Although I don't know the big things, I still know a lot about eating, drinking and receiving gifts.
When Zhang Lin asks this question now, she must have grasped what happened to Li You, but what kind of things are they? Is it a few things or just one thing? Is it something she knows or something she doesn’t know?
If it was just a matter of eating, drinking and accepting small gifts, I'm afraid Li Youwei would not be double-checked. A relatively large amount of money must have been involved.
Qiao Liang suddenly remembered something and was suddenly shocked.
A few months ago, the owner of a paper factory invited Li Youwei to a hot spring resort to supply newsprint to the newspaper printing factory. Li Youwei took him there that day. After soaking in the hot spring and having dinner, Li Youwei picked him up.
Tang Shusen, the Propaganda Director of the Municipal Party Committee, left before calling because of an emergency, leaving Qiao Liang to continue socializing.
After eating and drinking, the boss of the paper factory arranged a car to take Qiao Liang back to the city. Before getting on the bus, the boss of the paper factory handed Qiao Liang a small gift box with exquisite packaging. He said that he went to France for inspection some time ago and bought a French set for Mrs. Li.
Secretary Li was in a hurry to give the cosmetics to him because he had something to do. Please give them to Qiao Liang.
The boss of the paper factory specifically told Qiao Liang to hand over the gift box to Li Youwei in person.
Qiao Liang didn't care and agreed, got in the car, returned home and put the gift box on the coffee table.
Zhang Mei heard that it was a French cosmetic given to Mrs. Li Youwei by the owner of the paper factory. She became interested and insisted on opening it to take a look. Qiao Liang didn't stop her. They were cosmetics for women, just look at them.
Zhang Mei carefully opened the gift box and suddenly screamed. Qiao Liang went over to take a look and was stunned. Where were the cosmetics in the box, they were clearly two yellow gold bars!
Qiao Liang hurriedly sealed the gift box intact and told Zhang Mei not to tell anyone about it.
As soon as he went to work the next day, Qiao Liang delivered the gift box to Li Youwei's office.
After following Li Youwei for so many years, this is the only thing Qiao Liang knows about him accepting expensive gifts. Is this what Zhang Lin is asking?
After thinking about it, no matter whether the Discipline Inspection Commission has grasped this matter or not, it cannot be said that Li Youwei was not kind to him and that he could not do anything wrong to him.
So Qiao Liang pretended to be actively cooperative and started talking about being treated to meals and drinks with Li Youwei, traveling on public funds, and receiving small gifts. He talked a lot in one breath.
Qiao Liang knew that what he said did not affect the overall situation. Although he violated some regulations, it was not to the extent that Li Youwei was double-regulated.
Listening to Qiao Liang's explanation, Zhang Lin's expression became colder and colder, and her ring finger stopped tapping on the table.
When Qiao Liang finally stopped talking, Zhang Lin stared at Qiao Liang with her cold eyes, which seemed to pierce Qiao Liang's heart.
Qiao Liang didn't dare to look at him.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Lin spoke: "Qiao Liang, your attitude is very dishonest and you are avoiding the main issue."
Qiao Liang blinked: "Director Zhang, I am very honest. I really only know this and nothing else."
"Really?" Zhang Lin looked at Qiao Liang meaningfully with a sneer on her lips, "Think about it again."
Qiao Liang simply shook his head: "I'm sorry, Director Zhang, I really don't know anything else."
Zhang Lin sneered: "Qiao Liang, since you said that, I'll give you some time to think about it, think about the consequences of resisting organizational censorship, and think about your own future. I know that you will be interviewing for the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper at dawn.
, and you ranked first in the written test, so don’t let the small lose the big.”
Zhang Lin's words obviously contained a warning. If your attitude was dishonest, you would be charged with cover-up at worst, and you would be subject to disciplinary sanctions at worst.
Thinking of the fact that he was about to go to the interview room to compete for the deputy office at dawn and compete with Ye Xinyi. Thinking of the bright future after stepping onto the steps of the deputy office, Qiao Liang's mind was churning, with sea water on one side and flames on the other.
That incident was tantamount to adding insult to injury for Li Youwei. If he didn't talk about it, he would not be able to escape the situation at hand.
Where should he go? Qiao Liang was suffering from anxiety and hesitation. Suddenly Zhang Lin said something again, which made his heart suddenly rise to his throat.
"Qiao Liang, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Take one step forward to see the sky and the sky, and take a step back to see the abyss."
