Liang Jian went to work after breakfast. When he arrived at the unit and went upstairs, he happened to meet Zhen Dongwen who also came to work. When Zhen Dongwen, a book fan, saw Liang Jian, he first narrowed his eyes, and then smiled without laughing.
Say hello.
After Liang Jian entered the elevator with him, as soon as the elevator door closed, Liang Jian's phone dinged. He took out his phone and was about to look at it when he heard Zhen Dongwen say: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Mayor Cai?
"
Liang Jian frowned. This news should have come from Zhu Mingtang. It seems that Zhu Mingtang should know what the meal yesterday meant.
Liang Jian thought for a moment and asked Zhen Dongwen: "I don't know what Director Zhen means when he means that the relationship is very good?"
Zhen Dongwen glanced at him and said nothing. After a few seconds, Zhen Dongwen said again: "Do you know the relationship between Dong Bin and our Mayor Cai?"
Liang Jian was startled and looked at Zhen Dongwen's face. The pride on his face made Liang Jian's heart sink suddenly.
The elevator door opened and Zhen Dongwen walked out with a smile.
Liang Jian was stunned. What did Zhen Dongwen mean by this? At this time, the elevator door was about to close again. Liang Jian came to his senses and hurriedly pressed the elevator switch and got out of the elevator.
Zhen Dongwen was right in front. Liang Jian wanted to catch up and ask Zhen Dongwen what he meant, but he held back. If Zhen Dongwen wanted to say something, he would have said it just now.
As Liang Jian walked to the office, he was thinking about Zhen Dongwen's words. From what Zhen Dongwen said, it seemed that the relationship between Dong Bin and Mayor Cai was not simple.
Dong Bin is the contractor of the waste-burning power plant project, and when the waste-burning power plant project was proposed, Mayor Cai fully supported it.
Thinking back to Cai Gen's reaction when Liang Jian went to his office to tell him about the problems with the Yong'an District power station project. The more Liang Jian thought about it, the more he felt uneasy.
Could it be...
Liang Jian didn't dare to think about it anymore. He felt that this was a trap by Zhen Dongwen. He wanted to split the relationship between him and Cai Gen. Liang Jian warned himself that the most important thing now was the director of the research office, and the rest would wait.
Let’s talk about this after this matter is over.
But, despite this, Liang Jian still thought of Zhen Dongwen's words from time to time. He couldn't help but sent a text message to Jiang Shihuan, tentatively asking about the relationship between Dong Bin and Cai Gen.
Jiang Shihuan said that there was someone behind Dong Bin, but it was unlikely to be Cai Gen. This answer made Liang Jian feel relieved. Liang Jian put this matter aside for the time being and focused on the matter of the director of the research department in front of him.
Cai Gen said that Zhang Yishan and Zhu Mingtang are the problems he wants to overcome. Zhang Yishan is relatively simple, but as for Zhu Mingtang... Liang Jian is a bit resistant to this name, which also has something to do with Zhen Dongwen.
He decided to deal with Zhang Yishan first.
Liang Jian asked Jiang Shihuan to find out the news about Zhang Yishan, and planned to pay a visit tomorrow night. To visit, he had to prepare things. Liang Jian himself did not have the time to prepare, and he did not have the right things on hand, so he thought of Xiao Wu.
Thinking of Xiao Wu, he thought of the things he had asked Xiao Wu to do before. He had been unable to contact him before, so Liang Jian took a chance and called Xiao Wu, and he actually got through. But the call had just been connected.
Before Liang Jian could say anything, Xiao Wu hung up and said he was busy.
It wasn't until Liang Jian was about to get off work that Xiaowu called Liang Jian.
As soon as Liang Jian picked up the phone, he asked: "What happened? Why can't I always get through to you?"
Xiao Wu replied: "It's no big deal. By the way, I've already pretty much checked the things you asked me to check before. Let's do this. I'll have someone send the information to you later."
Liang Jian felt there was something wrong, so he asked: "Why don't you send it yourself?"
Xiaowu said: "I'm not in Beijing now."
"Then where are you?" Liang Jian asked.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not convenient to say. Let's leave it at that. I have something else to do here. If you have other matters, you can ask the person who will send the information later, and he will take care of it."
Xiao Wu hung up the phone in a hurry, which made Liang Jian feel uneasy. He thought for a while and called Old Tang, but Old Tang didn't answer. He had to call Tang Yi again. Tang Yi did answer.
Liang Jian opened his mouth and asked, "Did something happen?"
Tang Yiyi: "What happened? What did you say?"
Liang Jian frowned. Tang Yi's confusion didn't seem to be fake. So he changed his approach and asked, "Where is Xiaowu? Why doesn't he always answer his phone calls?"
"Oh, he went out to do errands." Tang Yi replied lightly.
"Where did you go to do business?" Liang Jian asked again.
Tang Yi asked back: "You have something to do with him?"
Liang Jian could only say: "It's nothing."
"You can come to me if you need anything. It will probably take some time for him to come back," Tang Yi said.
Liang Jian always felt uneasy, but Tang Yi didn't want to talk, and Liang Jian pressed him to no avail, so he had to hang up the phone. With Tang Yi away, Liang Jian had to find a way to handle the gift issue himself.
After returning home, Liang Jian couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Minister Xiang for help. Before the two of them could exchange a word, someone sent by Xiao Wu came over.
Liang Jian tried to get a trick out of this man, but he couldn't get it out of him, so he had to give up.
Liang Jian took the information sent by this person. It was a thick pile. Most of it was some accounting information from the beginning of this project to the present. He didn't know how Xiao Wu obtained it.
Liang Jian was fascinated by what he saw. Minister Xiang came over and saw it and asked, "What kind of information is this?"
Liang Jian replied: "It's some information about a waste-burning power station project in Yong'an District."
Minister Xiang didn't pay attention at first and walked away. But not long after, he came back and asked Liang Jian: "Is the boss of that project a person named Dong Bin?"
Liang Jian was startled, looked up at Minister Xiang, and asked, "Do you know him?"
Minister Xiang shook his head and said, "I don't know him, but I've heard of it."
Liang Jian remembered what Zhen Dongwen said to him in the morning, and wanted to ask Minister Xiang if he knew anything. Before he could speak, Minister Xiang suddenly asked Liang Jian: "Where did you get this information?"
Liang Jian answered truthfully: "I asked Xiao Wu to find a way to get it."
"Which project has a problem?" Minister Xiang asked again.
Liang Jian felt that Minister Xiang's level of concern about this matter was a bit strange. In the past, Minister Xiang rarely cared so much about one of his jobs. At most, he only paid attention to his promotion. Moreover, Minister Xiang looked serious at this moment.
Intuition told Liang Jian that there seemed to be something wrong with Dong Bin.
Liang Jian asked Minister Xiang: "Dad, is there something wrong with Dong Bin?"
Minister Xiang hesitated for a moment and said: "I can't say whether there is a problem or not, but I think it is best not to investigate this person's problems until you reach the level of municipal party committee secretary." At this point, Minister Xiang said
After a pause, he added: "I am talking about the Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee."
The Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee is a member of the Political Bureau and a deputy national-level figure.
In other words, before Liang Jian reaches the deputy state level, it is best not to cause trouble with this person.
Liang Jian looked at the seriousness on Minister Xiang's face and knew that his father-in-law was not joking. While Liang Jian was surprised, he also had doubts as to what kind of background Dong Bin had that could make his father-in-law take him so seriously.
Liang Jian asked Minister Xiang: "Dad, who is this Dong Bin?"
Minister Xiang glanced at him and replied: "There are many rumors, and I can't tell which ones are true and which ones are false. In short, you'd better be cautious and don't rush to speak out about matters related to him."
Minister Xiang refused to speak directly, and it was difficult for Liang Jian to ask questions. But the more serious Minister Xiang warned him, the more curious Liang Jian became about Dong Bin. He thought about all the national leaders in his mind.
, it seems that no leader is named Dong.
Minister Xiang seemed to see the curiosity in his heart, sighed, and said: "You, after so many years, some habits just can't be changed. Curiosity killed the cat, you have to remember this sentence. Things in this world,
There are some things you can be curious about, and some things you cannot be curious about. There are some things, even if you are curious, you have to hold them back if you can’t help them.”
Before Liang Jian had time to admit his mistake to Minister Xiang, Xiang Jin's voice came from behind, with a hint of smile in her voice: "Dad, if he can change it, he won't be Liang Jian! Your daughter, I,
I don’t like it anymore.”
Liang Jian looked back at her. She had a smile on her face and was confident.
Liang Jian turned around and smiled sheepishly at Minister Xiang. Minister Xiang shook his head helplessly at the two of them.
"By the way, what did you ask me for just now?" Minister Xiang asked.
Liang Jian then remembered the gift and told Minister Xiang. Minister Xiang thought for a while and said, "I have a bit of an impression of Zhang Yishan. How about this? I'll prepare it for you. When do you want to use it?"
Liang Jian said: "I originally planned to go there tomorrow night."
"Okay, I understand. Then come back for dinner tomorrow night, right?" Minister Xiang looked at him and asked.
Liang Jian nodded.
"Then let Xiang Jin go with you tomorrow." Minister Xiang said.
Liang Jian glanced at Xiang Jin who was not far away, and just about to refuse, Minister Xiang said: "Women are easy to talk to in front of men. Those outside the system are easier to talk to than those within the system."
Liang Jian had no choice but to agree. It felt a little weird to have Xiang Jin expose himself for something like this.
The next night, Liang Jian went home for dinner, and was kicked out of the house by Minister Xiang just after seven o'clock. The gift was a painting prepared by Minister Xiang, and Liang Jian didn't ask who it was. When they got to the car,
, Liang Jian originally wanted Xiang Jin to open it and see who belonged to it, but Xiang Jin did not agree and said, "They are all things that are meant to be given away. Why do you want to see who belongs to them?"
Liang Jian felt that Xiang Jin was right. He couldn't hold the gift in his hand and deliver it to someone's eyes. After all, he and Zhang Yishan were not so close. He had to give it quietly.
Knocking on the door of Zhang Yishan's house, after announcing their names, they waited for a while before the nanny came over to let the two of them in. The nanny was a young girl. As soon as Liang Jian and Liang Jian walked in, Xiang Jin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He handed a small box to the nanny and said: "This is a little thing, I hope you like it."
The nanny glanced at the box, then at her, then gently pressed the thing with her hand and pushed it toward Xiang Jin, saying: "I can't put it away, so you'd better put it away quickly.
"
Xiang Jin smiled and said: "This is not something expensive, it's just a box of skin care products for girls." As she said this, she pushed the thing to the nanny with a little force on her hand.
The nanny looked at the box again, then at Xiang Jin, hesitated for a second or two, and then suddenly accepted it.
Xiang Jin turned his head and blinked quickly at Liang Jian.
