After Zheng Shidong came out of the city compound, he checked that the time was already very late and was about to go home directly. At this time, his cell phone rang. Seeing that it was the call from the case investigators below, Zheng Shidong picked up the call.
"Secretary Zheng, Miao Peilong said he wants to see you." The people below reported.
After all, Miao Peilong's identity is a bit special. The other party asked to see Zheng Shidong, but the investigators did not dare to refuse directly and reported to Zheng Shidong immediately.
Zheng Shidong thought for a moment, but did not refuse. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Shidong came to the place where Miao Peilong was detained. At the door of the room, there were already case investigators from the disciplinary department waiting. Seeing Zheng Shidong coming, the case investigators hurriedly came over to greet him.
"How is it? Will Miao Peilong still cooperate?" Zheng Shidong came over and asked.
"He was uncooperative and kept silent most of the time. He just suddenly said that he wanted to see you. We weren't sure what happened to him, so we reported it to you. That's why we asked you to come here so late." said the investigator.
"It's okay, I'll go in and take a look." Zheng Shidong waved his hand. After all, Miao Peilong is the top leader in the district and county. It's normal for the people below to be cautious.
Pushing open the door, Zheng Shidong choked on the cigarette as soon as he entered the room. The room was filled with smoke, and Miao Peilong was sitting on a chair with a dull expression, smoking one cigarette after another.
Obviously, Miao Peilong's treatment was pretty good when he came in. He wanted to smoke, and the case handlers satisfied him after considering it appropriately.
Zheng Shidong waved his hand to disperse the smoke in front of his eyes, walked to the chair opposite Miao Peilong, sat down, and asked, "Comrade Peilong, are you looking for me?"
Hearing Zheng Shidong's name for him, Miao Peilong's eyes moved, and his face finally regained some vitality. He turned to look at Zheng Shidong. He knew that Zheng Shidong still had some affection for him, otherwise the other party would not Instead of calling him Comrade Peilong, he directly called him Miao Peilong.
"Secretary Zheng, I didn't expect that one day we would meet in this way." Miao Peilong spoke in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse from smoking too much.
Zheng Shidong sighed, "To be honest, I really don't want to meet you in this way."
"Haha, why would I even think about it?" Miao Peilong laughed to himself, "These leaders in the city, the last thing I want to see is you. Every time I see you, I always feel uncomfortable."
"That's because you did something you shouldn't have done and you feel guilty." Zheng Shidong said.
"Yes, once a person feels guilty, he can no longer straighten his waist. There is always an invisible pressure in his heart." Miao Peilong murmured, "Secretary Zheng, is my performance today embarrassing? Since then, Starting today, I’m afraid that I, Miao Peilong, will become the laughing stock of everyone in Jiangzhou.”
Zheng Shidong glanced at Miao Peilong. He knew that Miao Peilong was talking about the incident where he was so frightened that he lost urine in public today. This incident was indeed a bit embarrassing, but Zheng Shidong really didn't look down on Miao Peilong in his heart. How many people can still deal with this kind of thing calmly? Some even behaved worse than Miao Peilong, losing their bowels and urine.
Zheng Shidong said calmly, "Comrade Peilong, the past is in the past, and there is no need for you to hold on to it. What you should do now is actively cooperate with the review and strive for leniency."
"Secretary Zheng, have you started doing psychological work on me?" Miao Peilong mocked.
"I'm not doing psychological work on you, but telling the truth. You have been a cadre for so many years and you understand the discipline of our organization. I don't need to say more. You should know that your only way out now is to be active. Cooperate and strive for leniency," Zheng Shidong said.
Miao Peilong lowered his gaze and did not directly respond to Zheng Shidong's words. After a brief silence, Miao Peilong said, "Secretary Zheng, considering our past friendship, I wonder if you can satisfy my request?"
"What request?" Zheng Shidong frowned slightly.
"I want to meet Director Xu from our county," Miao Peilong said.
"Who did you say you were meeting?" Zheng Shidong glanced at Miao Peilong doubtfully.
"Director Xu of our county government office, Xu Chan." Miao Peilong repeated it again.
Hearing Miao Peilong's words, Zheng Shidong looked at Miao Peilong in confusion. Zheng Shidong would not be surprised if Miao Peilong wanted to meet Luo Fei or other major leaders in the city. After all, these people might be able to help Miao Peilong. , but Miao Peilong actually asked to meet the director of the county office in Songbei. Is it possible that a mere director of the county office can still provide help to Miao Peilong?
"Are you sure you made the right request?" Zheng Shidong looked at Miao Peilong.
"No." Miao Peilong shook his head.
After hearing Miao Peilong's affirmative answer, Zheng Shidong glanced at Miao Peilong for a second and said, "Comrade Peilong, it's actually useless for you to call anyone now. Your case was personally handled by Secretary Zheng Guohong. No one dares to do it now." Let me help you speak."
"Secretary Zheng, I didn't say I wanted to ask for help. I just wanted to see Director Xu." Miao Peilong's eyes flickered and he lowered his head and said.
Zheng Shidong's words just now gave Miao Peilong a heavy blow in his heart. Although he denied it, he actually held the last trace of fantasy in his heart. This was also the reason why he wanted to see Xu Chan, because Miao Peilong knew very well that there was no one in the city now. Dare to speak for him. The reactions of Xu Honggang and Luo Fei at the scene this afternoon have become more obvious. None of these people are trustworthy. They all only care about Mingzhe's protection and do not even dare to say a word. At the moment, Miao Peilong can only His hope was placed on Su Huaxin from the province, so he could only see Xu Chan. Only through Xu Chan could he find Su Huaxin. Maybe there was a glimmer of hope.
In fact, Miao Peilong was not sure about this matter. He only knew that Su Huaxin was a little interested in Xu Chan, but the relationship between the two might not be that great. He wanted to ask Su Huaxin for help through Xu Chan, maybe It's a bit whimsical, but Miao Peilong is now holding on to the idea of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. This is the only way he can think of when he is at the end of his rope.
Zheng Shidong did not agree immediately. He glanced at Miao Peilong and said, "Do you have to see this Xu Chan?"
"Yes, I hope that Secretary Zheng will agree to my request because of past friendship." Secretary Miao avoided Zheng Shidong's gaze and said, "If Secretary Zheng agrees to my request, I will actively cooperate with the investigation of the disciplinary department. "
Hearing what Miao Peilong said, Zheng Shidong's eyes narrowed slightly and he stared at Miao Peilong for a while. After a brief weighing, Zheng Shidong nodded and said, "Okay, I can promise you."
Zheng Shidong agreed to Miao Peilong's request at this time because he had his own considerations.
Upon hearing Zheng Shidong's promise, Miao Peilong said excitedly, "Secretary Zheng, thank you."
"Comrade Peilong, I agree to your request, and I hope you will keep your word and actively cooperate with our investigation. This is your only way out." Zheng Shidong stood up and took a deep look at Miao Peilong. He also wanted to do this. Hello Miao Peilong, in his opinion, Miao Peilong has only this way to go now, actively cooperate with the investigation and strive for leniency.
"Secretary Zheng, I will do it." Miao Peilong lowered his head, avoiding Zheng Shidong's gaze, and dealt with it perfunctorily. He was still unwilling to accept it, so he wanted to see Xu Chan.
Zheng Shidong didn't say anything more and walked out of the room. When he got outside, the case handler below asked cautiously, "Secretary, is it inappropriate for you to agree to Miao Peilong's request?"
"It's okay, everything is according to the regulations. When Miao Peilong meets Xu Chan, our people must be present throughout the whole process." Zheng Shidong waved his hand.
Hearing what Zheng Shidong said, the investigators did not say anything else. Zheng Shidong was the leader and had already made the final decision. The people below obviously did not dare to question too much.
The night passed quickly. Xu Chan spent the night at Su Huaxin's house last night. The next day, Xu Chan got up early and was busy making breakfast for Su Huaxin.
When Su Hua woke up, he saw the sumptuous breakfast on the table, his eyes sparkling.
Xu Chan performed very well last night, which made Su Huaxin feel a huge release and enjoyment that he had not seen for a long time.
Even if he knew that Xu Chan was deliberately trying to please her, Su Huaxin was undoubtedly satisfied with Xu Chan at this moment, especially since the two of them had broken through the layer of window paper last night and had a substantial relationship. Su Huaxin now looked at Xu Chan. His eyes are also a little different.
"Secretary Su, hurry up and eat while it's hot. It's already late." After Xu Chan finished her work, she walked to Su Huaxin and sat down, saying with a smile on her face.
Su Huaxin looked at Xu Chan with a smile, "Xiao Xu, you still call me Secretary Su now?"
"Then...can I call you Brother Su?" Xu Chan said hesitantly, looking at Su Huaxin hopefully.
Su Huaxin smiled slightly and said, "Of course, you can call it that in private."
"Okay, then I will call you Brother Su." Xu Chan said happily, feeling a little excited because she had a substantial relationship last night. Xu Chan knew that her relationship with Su Huaxin was completely different. For Xu Chan, this was a very important matter, because it meant that her relationship with Su Huaxin had reached a new level and had a major breakthrough.
While the two were eating, Xu Chan's cell phone rang. Seeing that it was an unknown caller number, Xu Chan frowned and hung up.
Just when Xu Chan hung up, the other party called her again. Seeing that it was the same number, Xu Chan was a little confused. It was so early in the morning and it was not yet nine o'clock. Who called her?
"Who called, why didn't you answer the call?" Su Huaxin said at this time.
Xu Chan picked up the conversation and asked, "Hello, who are you?"
"Is this Comrade Xu Chan? I'm from the city's discipline department." The person on the other end of the phone took the initiative to announce his home address. A quick look at the follow-up, search for Xing Gong Zhongyu, consisting of the first letter of the pinyin of "Chu Luowan" plus the number zero zero zero Formed by 724. Xu Chan's heart trembled when she heard that it was from the city's disciplinary department. She trembled subconsciously and stuttered a bit when she spoke, "You...what do you want from me?"
"Comrade Xu Chan, Miao Peilong wants to see you. If you have time in the morning, come to our place." The other party said.
"Ah?" Xu Chan was stunned. She didn't expect that it was Miao Peilong who wanted to see her. She wanted to refuse immediately, but when the words came to her mouth, Xu Chan stopped again. What was the reason for Miao Peilong to see her? ?If I refuse, will I offend Miao Peilong?
