After I left, I immediately called the director of Shangjiang Municipal Development and Reform Commission and asked him to immediately send all the contact information of Director Ye of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission to my mobile phone.
I originally planned to call Director Ye in the afternoon and ask him to have dinner, because I know that some relationships have to be struck while the iron is hot to achieve better results. But at noon, I received a call from Shanglong Bank.
I immediately gave up the idea for the time being.
Shanglongxing told me on the phone that something happened to the old director. She also told me that the old director was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection this morning.
I was very surprised, "Old director? What problems will he have?"
She said: "I don't know either. You have to ask the leaders of the Provincial Education Commission about this matter. I think the people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection must have communicated with the main leaders of the Provincial Education Commission before taking him away."
I immediately asked Xiao Cui to send me to the Provincial Education Committee.
On the way to the Provincial Education Commission, I called Man Jiangnan and asked him if Secretary Leng was in the office. He told me that Secretary Leng had just finished a meeting and was in the office at this time.
I hurriedly said to him: "Don't tell him that I called you. I will go to his office to find him right away."
I was worried that Secretary Leng would find an excuse to hide after knowing in advance that I was going to find him, so I prepared a surprise attack for him.
After arriving at the Provincial Education Committee, I went directly to Secretary Leng's office.
Secretary Leng looked very surprised when he saw me, "Xiao Feng, why are you here? Why didn't you notify me in advance?"
I didn't explain anything to him, but asked him directly: "The old director of the Provincial Admissions Office was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Do you know about this?"
He said evasively: "I probably know about this matter. It's a matter for the superior organization, and I can't ask more questions."
He had his difficulties in this matter, which I knew and understood. I immediately said to him: "I know the old director, and he shouldn't have any big problems. Secretary Leng, you can
Tell me? From what you know so far, what’s the problem with him?”
He sighed and said: "It is said that Guangxia Company once gave him a piece of Maotai that had been stored for ten years. According to the current market value, this piece of wine is worth more than 100,000. That's it."
After hearing what he said, I immediately no longer doubted anything. It was indeed the case. If the old director was going to make any mistakes, it would probably be because of something like this. Collecting Maotai liquor was his only hobby.
The people from Guangxia Company are really pervasive. I don’t know where they learned about the old director’s preference, and they actually used this method to bribe the old director. They knew that I was not short of money, and they also knew that I
They will not charge any benefits from them, so they try to find ways to do work on the people below. In fact, they do not need to do such a thing, but maybe they are doing it so that they can more smoothly receive the project recruited by the province.
So that’s what I did.
Fortunately, Ruan Jie returned the bank card they gave her at that time, otherwise she would not have been able to escape this disaster.
I couldn't help but sigh and said: "I didn't expect that the old director had been cautious all his life, but in the end he fell into something like this. If I had known this, I shouldn't have hired him back in the first place."
Secretary Leng said: "What's the use of saying this now? Today's businessmen are all extremely cunning, and they are very good at finding people's weaknesses. They knew that Lao Li liked that bite, so they gave him the right medicine.
There is no one else to blame for this matter. If he is to blame, he can only blame himself. Xiao Feng, I’m sorry, I still have one more meeting, so you have to keep this matter confidential.”
I had a feeling that he didn't want to talk to me about anything more, not just about the old director. I understood it very well, because he saw that I was a little awkward. So I left immediately, and after leaving his office, I
I couldn't help but sigh.
I was no longer in the mood to invite Director Ye from the National Development and Reform Commission to dinner, so I stayed at home all afternoon. I regretted that I went to invite the old director out.
After five o'clock in the afternoon, I received a call from Chenchen. She said in a very anxious voice, "Do you know about my uncle? Can you help him?"
I replied: "I already know. But I can't help with this matter. People from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection took him away, and there's nothing I can do about it."
She asked me: "He's not that kind of person. I know him. Do you know what happened to him?"
I couldn't tell her the truth, "I don't know very well either."
She then said to me in a pleading tone: "You can help him, right? He was so good to you before, but now something happens to him, you won't stand idly by, right?"
I suddenly began to ponder.
But she immediately said: "I didn't expect all of you officials to be so ruthless!"
She hung up the phone immediately.
Maybe it was Chenchen's words that made the guilt in my heart suddenly worsen, or maybe I cared too much about Chenchen's impression of me, or maybe I suddenly thought of the purpose of Shanglongxing making that call to me. In short,
, all of this made me suddenly determined: I must find a way to help the old director.
I picked up the phone, still hesitated for a moment, and finally called Governor Huang.
After the call was connected, I immediately asked him: "Governor Huang, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time. Is it convenient for you now?"
He said: "I'm at home. Xiaowu is not in good health. I'm taking care of her at home today. Xiaofeng, just tell me if you have anything to do. Don't be so polite between us."
I immediately said: "That's it. Today, the old director whom I hired back when I was working in the provincial recruitment office was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. It is said that he accepted a Moutai item from Guangxia Company. The old director had something to do with me.
After receiving a lot of help, his biggest hobby in life is collecting Maotai liquor. As for wine, who among the current officials would not accept banquets from others? Who would not accept tobacco and alcohol given by others? It’s just that he accepted it once.
I got one thing, and this wine has been stored in the cellar for a little longer. Governor Huang, you may not know that the old director has been honest all his life, but it turned out that this happened only after he was re-employed by me. I feel very sad about this.
Guilty. It would be fine if his problem was serious, but for such a small matter...Does the province really want to expand this matter to a wide scope? It won't even let such a thing go.
?Of course, he really shouldn't accept things from others, but I think for a problem like this, he just needs to take the initiative to return the things. He is so old, and it is too unjust to go to jail for such a thing.
?”
I was a little excited and said so much at once.
Governor Huang didn't speak at first, but after a while I heard him say: "I'll talk about it after asking about the situation."
Immediately, he hung up the phone.
My heart suddenly felt like I was hanging in mid-air, with a restless feeling.
Regarding this matter, I can only do this, because the highest-level official I can find is Governor Huang.
However, I suddenly remembered something: Governor He is in charge of the education system and is also directly in charge of provincial recruitment. Maybe she can have a say in this matter?
So, I immediately called Governor He.
Her soft voice soon came from the phone, "Xiao Feng, you haven't contacted me for a long time? You have become the deputy mayor and are no longer in my system, so you no longer need to report to me.
right?"
I hurriedly said: "How could that be? I just arrived in a new place, and the work situation is unfamiliar. Then so many things happened there, it was really too busy."
She immediately laughed, "So, you are finally free today, right?"
I didn't know how to answer her question, so I immediately said to her: "Governor He, I want to ask you for a favor."
She laughed, "Tell me, why did you call me suddenly? Tell me, what's the matter?"
So I immediately told her about the old director's affairs, and also expressed my thoughts at the same time.
After listening to my story, she immediately got angry, "Did the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission go too far? Why didn't you tell me about such a thing in advance? After all, I am still the deputy governor and the leader in charge of provincial recruitment.
No? They are really too much!"
I hurriedly said to her tentatively: "Governor He, do you need to go and ask?"
She hung up the phone immediately.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Why do leaders like this? Why do they always just hang up the phone without giving a reply?
But I believe she will ask, because she didn't say that it was inconvenient for her to ask. Leaders are like this and never say anything they are unsure of. Isn't it the same with Governor Huang?
So, the only thing I have to do now is wait.
As a result, it was Governor Huang who replied to me first, "The man has been released. You ask him to hand over the things to the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Provincial Education Commission as soon as possible. Such things are both big and small. As an old comrade, this is the case.
It is better to handle the issue lightly. The leaders of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection also agree with my opinion."
I was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much."
He immediately said to me: "You must pay attention to yourself at all times in the future. If you accidentally go in one day, no one may be able to save you. Again, be cautious and walk on thin ice. You must remain like this at all times.
Being sober is the only way to ensure your safety."
I responded repeatedly, but I was thinking: His words seemed to be a warning to me. Maybe it was because I knew some of his secrets. Maybe I was too worried. But I knew very well that he was helping me this time.
This is also the reason for this incident. Therefore, the leader’s secret is also a double-edged sword for subordinates.
After a while, I received a text message from Governor He: The people have been released.
I feel that I have made this matter a little complicated, but now I don’t know whether Governor Huang or Governor He played the most critical role in this matter. But I am thinking in my heart: the two deputy governors
They have all come forward, one is the executive deputy governor, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and the other is the deputy mayor in charge. Their words should have a big effect on this matter, right?
So, I think I should call her back or send her a text message.
Later, I chose to send a text message because I was a little worried that she would bring up the old things with me again. I wrote one sentence in the text message I replied to her: Thank you so much!
She didn't reply to me for a long time, and I immediately felt relieved. Now, I feel that she is different from Chang Bailing and Lin Yu. Her self-control is much stronger.
In fact, she is also a hard-working woman. If we put aside her position, her life is not as good as that of ordinary women. She cannot feel the warmth of family. Even when she is sick, she is only accompanied by her secretary, and her inner pain is not at all
There is no place to talk about it. But she has power, and perhaps her previous happiness only came from the sense of fulfillment that power gave her.
Chenchen called me around 10:30 in the evening, "Thank you."
I didn’t want to admit that I helped in this matter, because such things are taboo in official circles, and I just felt that I had done what I should do. I said, “Why are you thanking me?”
She said softly on the other end of the phone: "I know you have a way. I also know you are a kind-hearted person."
Then, I just said to her: "Don't tell anyone that you came to see me. Okay? I'll go see the old director for a drink when I have time."
She said: "You come now. He is in a bad mood. I am at his house."
I hesitated for a moment and finally agreed. (To be continued)
