He called me the next afternoon and said, "Mayor Feng, I want to meet you."
I said: "Night, come to my place tonight."
He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Let's go to that farmhouse tonight. Mayor Feng, don't get me wrong. I'll tell you why after we meet in the evening."
I thought for a moment, "Okay. We'll still have dinner there tonight."
After get off work, I drove to the farmhouse by myself. When I arrived, he was already waiting for me there. It was still the same place as last time, and several exquisite cold dishes were already placed on the table.
At night in this season, the air is particularly fresh. When I came here, I saw the exuberance on the edge of the city. This place feels much more comfortable than the inside of the city.
The first thing I asked him after sitting down was, "Why are you here?"
He looked at me and replied: "Mayor Feng...because there are cameras outside your residence."
I was immediately shocked, "What? Who did this?"
He didn't dare to come see me, "It was the leader who asked us to do this. Mayor Feng, I'm sorry..."
I looked at him, staring at him, "Tell me, which leader asked you to do this?"
He still didn't dare to come see me, "You can imagine. In Shangjiang City, there are not many leaders who can order me and make me carry out the orders."
I was very dissatisfied, "Director Lu, in this case, why did you call me today? Do you still want to be as hesitant as before?"
He immediately said: "It's Secretary Chen."
In fact, I had already thought of it when he just said it, because the man in front of me would not obey Mayor Liu's instructions. I immediately asked him again: "When did it happen?"
He replied: "A month ago. Mayor Feng, I'm sorry, I can't help it..."
I waved my hand to him and said, "I understand. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you install that thing. No one else goes to my place except my secretary and the driver."
He nodded, "Yes."
I was silent for a moment, and then said to him: "Let's not talk about this matter anymore, let's get down to business."
He then took out a disk from the bag next to him and said, "Mayor Feng, this is for you."
I didn't reach out to pick it up, but I asked him: "What's in here?"
He replied: "I also installed a camera at Secretary Chen's residence. Here are the edited records. Mainly the records of those people who often go to his place. Mayor Feng, in fact, I really didn't want to execute his
It was ordered, but I couldn't help it. But at that time I thought of one thing. Since he did that, I should do something for you, and you can counterattack him when the time comes."
I looked at him and sneered: "You do know how to behave. But what you do is illegal. You are a law enforcer and you should know the consequences of what you do."
He nodded, "So, I give this to you. Because I trust you, and I also hope that you can trust me from now on. Mayor Feng, I thought about what you said to me yesterday for a long time after I went back. I think you
You are right. From now on I will follow you, and from now on I will only listen to you. Don’t worry, from now on I will never be like before. You are right, a person must have the minimum loyalty and righteousness
, you gave me a very good one yesterday, which will benefit me throughout my life."
I nodded, and then took the disk he gave me, "Let's eat. We'll talk about some things later."
In fact, I am still very cautious, because I want to go back and read the contents of the disk before speaking. I have to be careful about this person.
He was actually very smart. Seeing that I was no longer talking about this matter, he said another thing to me, "Mayor Feng, we have arranged for the officers to go to the mountain. I have something to report to you.
After a while, Li Qian took the initiative to ask me to go there, and I agreed."
I was very surprised, "Isn't she from the criminal police team? Why did she go to that place?"
He said: "Yeah. I think it's strange too. She told me that there haven't been any big cases in the criminal police team recently, so she wanted to go there to exercise. She said that she wanted to experience a difficult environment so that she could be able to do it in the future.
She is more adaptable to her work. I saw her attitude was so determined, and I thought she was your relationship, so I agreed."
I smiled bitterly and said: "I introduced her to your unit, that's right. But she is not my relation. Her qualities and abilities are very good, right Director Lu?"
He nodded, "Yes. You are right."
I laughed "haha", "Don't think what I said is a lie. In fact, it is true. At that time, I also thought she was better, but she ended up working in a security company. I thought it was a waste of talents, so I recommended her to you.
I don't have any special relationship with her."
He said: "That's right. Let me tell you, you rarely use your power for your own affairs."
I shook my head and said: "Using one's own power to do personal things is a relatively common phenomenon in today's officialdom. It doesn't matter if you do it occasionally, but don't go too far. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. This is the truth.
I know. Although I don't want to do that myself, I still understand if others do it occasionally. For example, Director Lu, didn't you buy an auto repair shop not long ago? The recent business is very good, right?
Haha! It should be like this. After all, the manager of our city’s insurance company is your brother-in-law. This is nothing, it’s understandable. But I still say the same thing, as long as it’s not excessive.”
He suddenly became panicked, "Thank you, Mayor Feng, for understanding. But that repair shop is run by my woman."
I smiled and said, "You and she are husband and wife, what's the difference between what your woman drives and what you drive? Don't be nervous, I don't have any other meaning, I just want to explain the truth I said before."
He said: "Thank you, Mayor Feng. Now that our income is so low, we have to find something to do to make money. Our children need to go to school and our family's life should be better. There is no way around it."
I smiled and said: "Yes. Actually, you, the police chief, don't have to do that. Isn't your annual income besides salary less? There are some things that you should know clearly without me telling you. Lao Lu,
Unless you want to sit in your current position for the rest of your life, it is better to restrain yourself from some things. Money is good, but if you have too much, it is meaningless. The child's future should be fought on his own.
, why are you thinking so much?"
I didn't explain these things clearly to him, but just pointed them out to him. In fact, there is no need for me to investigate such things at all. He is the police chief, and nightclubs and other entertainment venues in the city will definitely provide him with information on a regular basis.
, as well as catching gambling funds and confiscating gambling funds, and may even serve as a protective umbrella for underground gambling establishments. This is a well-known thing, and most police chiefs in any place are like this. Not to mention a public security chief, it is the police station below him
For a long time, the gray income in one year is also quite considerable.
In the final analysis, this is a chain of interests, and as the director of public security, if you are too upright, you may not be able to stay in that position for long, because that position involves the interests of many powerful people.
In addition, what I just said actually threw a bait for him, which means to tell him: if you work hard in the future, your future will definitely be more than his current position. Of course, the premise is not to go too far.
His expression became even more nervous, "Mayor Feng, thank you for your reminder. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
I nodded to him and said: "Director Lu, you don't need a heavy hammer to play the drum. You are a smart man and you should understand what I say. So I won't say more. But I still have to remind you again, don't go too far. It's too much.
, even I cannot keep you in the future. It is possible within certain limits. I hope you can understand what I mean."
He kept nodding, "Mayor Feng, I understand."
I smiled at him and said, "Do your best and let me know if you have any ideas in the future."
We didn't stay there for long. We finished our meal quickly and went back separately. After returning to my residence, I looked at the contents of the disk that Director Lu gave me and found that the pictures in it included some cadres I knew.
In addition, there are many engineering bosses. In addition, there are several beautiful women.
Judging from the situation around the picture, those women must have gone there in the latter part of the night, because I couldn't see anyone around. In addition, the surrounding light in the picture was also very dark.
Judging from the situation on the screen, the camera should be installed in two locations, one is outside the building, and the other is opposite the door inside.
When he handed this thing to me today, he actually handed his political life into my hands, because as the public security director, he privately installed cameras to monitor a municipal party secretary, which is a serious violation of discipline and even illegal.
Regardless of whether something happens to Secretary Chen in the future, he should not do this because it is completely beyond his scope of authority.
Therefore, he is a very smart person and knows that this is the only way to gain my trust.
Then I picked up the phone and called him: "Let's do that as we agreed before. When you're done, hand over all the information to me. Be sure to keep it confidential."
He immediately said: "Yes. I understand."
I asked again: "This thing doesn't take much time, does it?"
He replied: "It should be soon. We already have some information."
I hung up the phone immediately. There is no need to say more about things like this, as long as he understands what I mean. In addition, now I fully understand why my previous leaders always hung up after just a few words.
The reason for the phone call is that it can reflect the majesty of the leader.
And now, I have unknowingly become accustomed to this. It is a habit, not deliberate. This is a natural and superior move.
Two days later, Lin Yu and I met at her home. When I put a portfolio in front of her, she asked me in surprise: "So fast?"
I said: "This matter is not complicated in the first place."
She nodded and then asked me: "What information is in it?"
I replied: "In addition to the relevant information about the suicide case, there are also his contacts with those who do engineering."
She looked at me, "What's the contact situation?"
I replied: "That is, the image data of those people who often go to his residence."
She shook her head and said, "In other words, the photos were all taken outside his residence. Right?"
I nodded, "This information was given to me by the public security director of our city. When Chen asked him to install a camera outside my residence, he also installed it outside Chen's residence. He said it was for my future use.
Counterattack him."
She sighed and said: "This police chief is not an ordinary person. But can such a person be trusted? You have to know that venomous snakes can easily bite people."
I said: "He gave me such a thing, which already shows that he is willing to be controlled by me. I talked to him before this, and only after he made a substantive expression did I tell you what you were doing to me."
The request was told to him. Of course, I did not mention you in front of him."
She immediately laughed, "You are getting better and better at officialdom. So, what did you promise to him?"
I shook my head, "How could I promise him anything? Now he is worried that something will happen to Mr. Chen, and he hurriedly wants to seek refuge with me. Maybe his requirements are not high, just to keep his current position."
She smiled and shook her head and said: "This is not possible. If you want someone to be devoted to you, you must give him a little sweetness from time to time. Or give him a little hope. This is the most important thing. Let's talk about it later, when the time comes
You can consider letting him join the Standing Committee or something. But you can't promote a person like this too quickly. If you eat up all the snacks in one go, how can you control him in the future?"
I couldn't help but said sincerely: "Sister, what you said makes so much sense."
She shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This is actually not an aboveboard matter. To be honest, I don't really like to use this method. It's just that we have to deal with such things according to people and various situations."
I nodded.
She added: "I told you last time that the province may make adjustments to your team again recently. This matter is actually Secretary Fang's intention. Originally, it is not a good thing for a place's team to be adjusted all the time.
, but there have been too many situations in your Shangjiang City in the past few years, and the work in your place is so important, especially the reform of your state-owned enterprises. The quality of a team will directly affect the future development of a place.
Success or failure. Recently, many people have reported your Secretary Chen’s problems to the higher authorities, so Secretary Fang decided to make adjustments to your team again."
I hurriedly asked: "Sister, do you know the adjustment plan?" (To be continued)
