Liang Jian sat in the car for a long time before driving home. Shumilou When they got home, Xiang Jin and Minister Xiang didn't ask anything. They might have thought that Liang Jian went to see Zhu Mingtang and then came back so late.
They didn't ask, and Liang Jian didn't explain.
The next day, Liang Jian went to work. At about ten o'clock, Cai Gen took the initiative to call Liang Jian. When Liang Jian saw the number, he felt a little complicated.
Liang Jian adjusted his mood before answering the phone.
"Liang Jian, I'm sorry, I drank a little too much yesterday. Otherwise, you can come over at noon later. I have half an hour at noon." When Cai Gen said it, there seemed to be a little bit in his voice.
The smell of guilt. But listening to it, it always feels a little unreal.
Liang Jian was silent for a second or two and replied: "Okay. When will you be free?"
"About half past twelve. How about it? Can you make it in time?" Cai Gen asked.
Liang Jian replied: "There's enough time."
12 o'clock is lunch time. If he goes to see Cai Gen at 12:30, then Liang Jian will either have to go hungry or eat in advance.
Liang Jian went there hungry.
When they got there, Tian Wang was eating fast food in the office. When he saw Liang Jian coming, he stood up and walked to the door. As he spoke, he glanced at the time on his watch and said, "You're here, have you had lunch?"
"
"Have eaten some," Liang Jian said.
"Mayor Cai is eating, why don't you wait here for a moment?" Tian Wang looked at Liang Jian and asked.
Liang Jian nodded.
He walked into Tian Wang's office and sat down. He was embarrassed to eat in Tian Wang, so he closed the fast food and put it aside, and then prepared to make tea for Liang Jian. Liang Jian hurriedly stopped him: "Stop making tea, you eat first, no need
Leave me alone."
Tian Wang smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm quite busy today, so I didn't have time to go to the canteen, so I had to ask the canteen to deliver a snack to make up for it." After that, he still had to make tea for Liang Jian.
As soon as the tea was put into the cup, Cai Gen called. Tian Wang picked up the call, and after saying yes, he hung up the phone and said to Liang Jian: "Let's go over, the mayor has already eaten."
Liang Jian said: "You can eat first, I can go there by myself."
Tian Wang hesitated for a moment, smiled sheepishly, and said, "That's okay. Then I won't send you there."
When I opened the door of Mayor Cai's office, I smelled a very fragrant smell of food in the room. As soon as I smelled it, I felt my stomach growl.
Fortunately, Cai Gen didn't pay attention and was looking down at the newspaper. When Liang Jian walked up to him, he raised his head, glanced at Liang Jian, put down the newspaper, and said with a smile: "Sit down."
Liang Jian sat down on the sofa next to him. After sitting down, Cai Gen asked: "Have you finished your meal?"
Liang Jiandao: "I've eaten."
Cai Gen added: "If you want to drink tea, make it yourself."
"Okay." Liang Jian replied.
Cai Gen stared at him for a few seconds and suddenly asked: "What's wrong?"
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that something was not right about his state. He quickly adjusted himself and said, "It's okay. Maybe it's noon and I'm a little sleepy. I'm used to taking naps."
Cai Gen believed it, smiled, and asked, "Why did you come to see me yesterday?"
When Liang Jian came, he was already thinking about this question on the way. How should he answer this question? There were many answers in his mind, but it was still difficult to choose one to answer.
Liang Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not a particularly important thing. I just heard news yesterday about the power station project in Yong'an District."
The moment Cai Gen heard the words Yong'an District Power Station, he frowned subconsciously, and an unpleasant look flashed across his face. But, soon, these were all hidden. Cai Gen's expression
Calmly asked Liang Jian: "What's the news?"
Liang Jian replied: "Ma Qiang, the project manager of the Yong'an District project, seems to have been suspected of misappropriating funds and has recently fled abroad." Liang Jian said while paying attention to Cai Gen's expression. In addition to slightly frowning,
He didn't show any other expressions.
After Liang Jian finished speaking, he stopped and waited for Cai Gen's answer.
Cai Gen took the message and asked, "Where did you hear this news? Is it true or false?"
Liang Jian replied: "When people from the bureau went to the construction site, they heard it from the workers who were stuck there asking for wages. If it is true or false, I later checked Ma Qiang's exit record, and it seems that he did leave the country."
After Liang Jian finished speaking, he stared at Cai Gen. Cai Gen's expression condensed slightly, and after a few seconds, he said: "This is the first time I have heard of this." At this point, he paused and then said: "
If this is true, then we really need to investigate it carefully.”
Cai Gen's attitude actually revealed some disbelief.
Liang Jian was not surprised. He said: "I think this may not be true, but if it is true, then we have to take it seriously. After all, we are not afraid of 10,000, just in case!"
Cai Gen nodded: "What you said makes sense. In this case, I will ask Tian Wang to check." After saying that, he stood up and called Tian Wang in.
As soon as Tian Wang came in, he said: "There is a project manager named Ma Qiang at the waste incineration power station in Yong'an District. Go and check. Has he gone abroad? In addition, you should contact Dong Bin, the boss of the project.
, ask what is going on with this Ma Qiang."
When Liang Jian heard Cai Gen asking Tian Wang to ask Dong Bin, he couldn't help but glance at Cai Gen.
Cai Gen happened to look at Liang Jian, and as soon as their eyes touched, Cai Gen asked, "Is there anything else you want to add?"
Liang Jian said hurriedly: "There is nothing to add."
Cai Gen nodded, and then told Tian Wang to do it immediately.
Liang Jian couldn't help but feel a little more disappointed. After Tian Wang went out, Cai Gen returned to the sofa and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he suddenly mentioned the director of the Research Department.
Cai Gen said: "The current position is basically between you and Zhen Dongwen. Zhu Mingtang admires Zhen Dongwen very much, but Secretary Guo's meaning is not obvious yet." At this point, Cai Gen glanced at Liang Jian,
Then he asked: "Are you really not going to work hard anymore? No matter how good the relationship between Zhu Mingtang and Zhen Dongwen is, if it concerns the future of his biological son, I think he will still choose again."
Liang Jian paused and replied: "I have done everything I can do. But regarding the matter of Minister Zhu's son, I really don't have the strength. My father has not been in Beijing recently, and I haven't been in contact with him for a while.
"
Upon hearing this, Cai Gen glanced at Liang Jian, withdrew his gaze and stared at the coffee table, saying: "Zhu Mingtang is a bit stubborn. If you don't have enough chips to impress him, he will basically not change his mind."
"There is nothing we can do, we can only leave it to fate!" Liang Jian said, "Thank you for your troubles, you have been worrying about this matter for me."
Cai Gen smiled and said: "There's nothing to worry about. It's just about the meal we had last time. The main thing is that you still have to do it yourself."
"That needs your guidance, otherwise even if I want to do something, I'm still confused and can't find the direction." Liang Jian flattered me gently.
Cai Gen smiled and continued: "The results of this matter should be available in the next two days."
Although Liang Jian was already mentally prepared to resign himself to his fate, he still felt a little nervous when he heard these words.
Cai Gen seemed to notice Liang Jian's nervousness and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much, your chances of winning are still quite good. Although Comrade Zhen Dongwen is good at work, he has some problems in other aspects.
All in all, one or two members of the Standing Committee have quite strong opinions against him. In comparison, you don’t have any particularly strong objections.”
Tian Wang had said similar words to him before.
Liang Jian smiled and said: "Then let me borrow your good words and hope that my wishes will come true."
Cai Gen followed and smiled.
Liang Jian knew that the words were almost over. Liang Jian stood up and said goodbye. Cai Gen did not stop him. After walking out, Liang Jian thought for a while, turned around and knocked on Tian Wang's half-open office door.
He was busy with what Cai Gen had just explained, so he didn't even notice Liang Jian coming out.
After Liang Jian entered, he immediately stood up and prepared to make tea. Liang Jian stopped him and said, "Don't make tea. I'll just say a few words and leave."
Tian Wang said: "It's not too late now, it's still time to sit for a while."
"There is a meeting in the afternoon, and there are still materials to prepare." Liang Jian said.
After Tian Wang heard this, he did not insist on soaking in water. After Liang Jian sat down, he sat down again. After Liang Jian watched him sit down, he asked: "Secretary Tian, is Mayor Cai related to Yong'an District Power Generation?"
Are you familiar with Dong Bin, the person who works on the station project?"
When Tian Wang heard Liang Jian's question, he glanced at Liang Jian with a vigilant look in his eyes. He hesitated and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Liang Jian said: "Dong Bin invited me to dinner once before, and he mentioned a lot of things about Mayor Cai. I was a little curious. I just heard Mayor Cai talk about him, and I thought of it."
Liang Jian's words were half true and half false. Tian Wang looked at Liang Jian and replied: "Actually, we are not very familiar with each other. We have had dinner together several times. However, every time Dong Bin invites him, Mayor Cai will
After finishing speaking, Tian Wang was about to answer the call when the landline suddenly rang. Tian Wang picked up the call and said as soon as he heard it: "Okay, I'll be right over." After hanging up the phone, he looked at Liang Jian apologetically and said: "Mayor
Come to me, how about you wait here?"
Liang Jian hurriedly stood up and said: "No, then you can get busy. I almost have to leave."
Tian Wang sent him out, then watched him take a few steps, then hurriedly turned around and went to Cai Gen's office.
After getting down and sitting in the car, Liang Jian couldn't help but think about what Tian Wang said just now. He wasn't very familiar with it, but every time he was invited, he would definitely attend.
Dong Bin is a businessman. There has always been a certain distance between business and government.
Cai Gen's behavior reminded Liang Jian of what Minister Xiang had warned him before: Dong Bin is not a person to be trifled with. He wondered whether Cai Gen's various behaviors that disappointed him were precisely
Is it related to Dong Bin’s attribute that is not easy to mess with?
After all, no matter how powerful a person is, there will always be times when he bows his head. Just like Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, when he met Tang Monk, no matter how wild his heart was, he was still satisfied.
