The sudden ringtone of the mobile phone rang in the quiet bedroom, dispersing the gentle dreams in the warm bedroom.
The desk lamp turned on almost as soon as the phone rang.
Zhao Changjiang, who was wearing pajamas, took his mobile phone and looked at the number. His originally vigilant and solemn expression changed drastically, and he seemed to be quite frightened.
He answered the phone without hesitation and said in a deep voice: "Speaker."
Because of his career, he often receives calls suddenly in the middle of the night, perhaps from the department, or from subordinates who follow him very closely, or some serious case has occurred, or something else.
But he never expected that at this point in time, he would receive a call from his immediate boss.
The remaining drowsiness disappeared the moment he answered the phone. Zhao Changjiang, who was completely awake, had already started to reach for his clothes.
"Lao Li, come to my place for a short meeting."
On the phone, a smooth and graceful female voice smiled: "Are you disturbing your rest?"
Zhao Changjiang's heart relaxed slightly with the laughter on the phone, and he also smiled: "I'm used to it, but I was really shocked when I received your call."
"Some things need to be dealt with urgently. Let's talk about it later."
The other party said it lightly and then hung up the phone.
Zhao Changjiang quickly started to put on his clothes, just like when he suddenly heard the whistle for emergency assembly in the middle of the night in the army, he was serious, hasty, meticulous, and resolute.
"What's wrong?"
Next to Zhao Changjiang, a woman in her late fifties but still charming asked lazily, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, complaining: "What happened again? There are so many troubles in the local area."
More, tell me, where have you been less worried in the past few years? You are so busy that you eat irregularly, and you are always worried even when you sleep. I am almost suffering from a neurasthenia due to your torture."
"The speaker called personally and said that an emergency meeting was going to be held."
Zhao Changjiang shook his head and said in a gentle tone: "You go to sleep first, it will be fine."
"Cousin called you? At this time?!"
The woman's sleepiness and laziness faded away instantly, and she sat up from the bed: "What happened?"
"It's not clear yet."
Zhao Changjiang shook his head. He didn't say anything in his heart, but he was almost certain that Speaker Bai, who had a tough style but had never made any big moves since coming to Liaodong, was probably going to make a big move this time.
The woman's face is a little uncertain. Her name is Zhao Qing, a distant relative of the Bai family in Youzhou. From a relationship point of view, she would call Bai Qingqian a cousin, but in fact the blood relationship between the two parties is already very weak and cannot be further apart.
That kind of.
However, although the relationship is far apart, Zhao Qing has been very close to Bai Qingqian since childhood. Although the two are relatives in name, they can actually be said to be best friends who talk about everything. Zhao Changjiang and Zhao Qing even become friends.
As husband and wife, they were introduced by Bai Qingqian.
When Zhao Changjiang was transferred from the southern station area to Liaodong, apart from Bai Qingqian who really needed a trustworthy confidant as his right-hand man, Bai Qingqian also had the idea of being able to chat with his good friends for a long time.
Zhao Changjiang is one of the eleven provincial directors of Liaodong Province and the director of the Liaodong Police Department. It is no exaggeration to say that he is Bai Qingqian's right-hand man in Liaodong. Bai Qingqian came to Liaodong, the academic base, even though it was because
The reason for the cooperation between the two major groups was to consolidate her right to speak, but she was not polite at all. In the past five years, the overall level of Liaodong seemed to be extremely stable, but Bai Qingqian had already held the power for a long time.
The main reason why she concealed the sharpness of the Governor of Liaodong was because she had the things she should master in her hands.
The Ministry of Personnel, which controls the personnel power, is the first thing she seizes, followed by the Supervision Department, then the propaganda system, and finally she transfers Zhao Changjiang to control the Police Department, plus the provincial government who must keep in step with Bai Qingqian.
The housekeeper.
After mastering four powerful departments, Bai Qingqian has established an absolute advantage in Liaodong.
In less than five years, Bai Qingqian has become almost unshakable in Liaodong. There is no doubt that if she does not leave in this election, the entire Liaodong will be included in the territory of wealthy groups or new groups. This is undoubtedly something that academics will never do.
What I hope to see is that this is one of their core territories.
As the general election approaches, the ups and downs of Bai Qingqian's sprint towards the parliament have caused turmoil in the entire Liaodong. Various signs have appeared a few months ago. At this time, in the middle of the night, Bai Qingqian suddenly wants to hold a meeting
emergency meeting...
Zhao Changjiang could hardly imagine the content of this meeting.
"You go to sleep first, I'll come over."
Zhao Changjiang looked at his wife whose expression changed on the bed, took a deep breath, and walked out of his room.
He lives in Building 6 of the Provincial Government Compound, which is not far or near from Bai Qingqian's Building 1.
Zhao Changjiang put on his coat and went out.
Winter in Liaodong is freezing cold.
The courtyard was covered in silvery white, and there was another heavy snowfall.
Zhao Changjiang walked through the snowflakes in the provincial capital compound late at night, his eyes firm.
Many years ago, he was injured in the Border Guards Corps and was transferred to the military headquarters. From the military headquarters, he entered the southern station area. Then he was transferred from the military system to Liaodong. His style has never changed.
Calm, determined, and fearless.
In the more than four years since he came to Liaodong, Zhao Changjiang has already established his image as a strongman.
Zhao Changjiang passed by Building 4 of the Provincial Government Courtyard.
The door of the single-family villa in Building 4 opened just in time, and a fat lady in her fifties wrapped her coat tightly and walked out. When she saw Zhao Changjiang, she was slightly stunned: "Old Li?"
Zhao Changjiang was also a little surprised: "Building No. 1?"
"Yes, Boss Bai calls you in the middle of the night, I don't dare to neglect him."
The middle-aged woman chuckled. She was slightly fatter and had a round face. She looked kind-hearted in the snow.
This is another of Bai Qingqian's confidants. She followed Bai Qingqian all the way from Qinzhou Province to Liaodong as the 'Iron Lady'. When Bai Qingqian was the governor of Qinzhou, she served as the non-director of Qinzhou.
The deputy governor is now one of the eleven directors of Liaodong and is in charge of the Supervision Department. Compared to the strongman Zhao Changjiang, Guan Yuan, large and small in the Liaodong system, is obviously more afraid of this amiable-looking little old lady.
"Let's go together."
Zhao Changjiang nodded.
"Yesterday Ning Ning and Haoyang spent the day wandering outside. After eating at my place, the two children said they wanted to travel abroad and see the world. Lao Li, Haoyang said that he did not plan to take over your class in the future, nor did he want to
I want to be a police officer and plan to start a business after graduation. This trip abroad seems to be about inspecting some project. What is your attitude?"
Ye Han, known as the Iron Lady in Liaodong, looked at Zhao Changjiang with a smile.
Her daughter and Zhao Changjiang's son both go to school in Huating, and they go to the same school, in the same class. The two children have been in love for two years, and their relationship is very good. It is only a matter of time for the two families to get married. On weekdays,
They also move around frequently, and their parents are extremely supportive of them being together.
"That boy, you haven't told me until now. It's time for you, the mother-in-law, to know first."
Zhao Changjiang was a little stunned and his tone was a little unhappy.
"My old Han plans to give his two children a start-up capital, and even plans to send someone to accompany them abroad, but I still have to see your attitude."
Ye Han chuckled softly.
"Let them be."
Zhao Changjiang shook his head: "I'm too lazy to take care of this matter. You can just discuss it with Zhao Qing. Have the two children graduated this year? By this time next year, I'm afraid you and I won't be in Liaodong. It may not be convenient to meet in the future. I want to see it."
Let’s settle their affairs this year. Ning Ning is a good child. If you enter my house, I promise not to treat her badly.”
"become."
Ye Han's voice was very pleasant: "My old Han means the same thing. I'll ask my two children what they think some other time. If there's no problem, I'll try to get them married right after graduation."
The two chatted casually, but their voices gradually became quieter.
In sight, Buildings 3 and 7 of the Provincial Government Courtyard lit up one after another.
Zhao Changjiang and Ye Han looked at each other, and both fell silent.
Everyone knows who lives in Buildings 3 and 7 of the provincial capital compound.
It can be said that they are comrades who advance and retreat with them.
The person who lives in Building 7 controls Liaodong's propaganda system and is Bai Qingqian's college classmate.
The man in Building 3 was in charge of the Liaodong official department. He was transferred from Youzhou at that time, and it was the Bai family who directly provided Bai Qingqian with support.
Plus Zhao Changjiang and Ye Han.
This is what outsiders see as Bai Qingqian's Four Heavenly Kings in Liaodong.
In the middle of the night, Bai Qingqian notified the four of them at once.
what does that mean?
"Liaodong..."
Ye Han sighed in a low voice: "Is it possible that the most chaotic situation will begin in Liaodong this time?"
