After Liang Jian came to his senses, he thought about how things had changed after just one night. The hat of the director of the Research Department suddenly changed from Zhen Dongwen's head to his own. He was a little surprised and asked Jiang Shihuan: "What on earth is this?"
What's going on?"
Jiang Shihuan said: "I'm not very clear either. Zhen Dongwen came to see Minister Zhu early this morning in Shumilou, and then followed Minister Zhu to Secretary Guo's place. After he came back, things about the Director of the Research Department changed.
But that’s okay, even though there was such a small episode in the middle, the hat will eventually come back to you.”
"You can't say it's back in my hands. After all, it's never been in my hands before!" Liang Jian corrected. Jiang Shihuan smiled and said: "You just understand what I mean. Then it's settled. Let's have dinner together tonight. I'll give it to you."
Celebrate!”
Liang Jian hesitated a little and said, "This matter hasn't been decided yet at the meeting. Isn't it too early to celebrate now?"
"There will be a meeting in the afternoon, don't worry. This is a done deal and it won't be changed anymore. It's just decided. I'll book the location later and call you to let you know when it's done." Jiang Shihuan seemed to be happier than him.
, Liang Jian was embarrassed to suppress his enthusiasm. Although he felt it was a bit early to celebrate now, he still agreed.
As Jiang Shihuan said, the matter was discussed in a meeting in the afternoon, and it was soon decided that Liang Jian would take over as director of the Research Department. The bureau also quickly received the news, and some people began to compare Liang Jian's appointment with Zhen Dongwen's temporary appointment.
The matter of being replaced was connected, and rumors started to spread for a while.
When Liang Jian got off work, when he went downstairs and met people from his work, they would come up to him with a smile and congratulate him. As soon as he missed them, they would immediately start muttering.
Liang Jian didn't care about this, but he was still curious in his heart as to why this matter suddenly took such a turn.
At the dinner party in the evening, Jiang Shihuan actually invited Cai Gen and Chen Ting. This was unexpected by Liang Jian. Because Jiang Shihuan did not mention bringing his family members, Liang Jian did not bring Xiang Jin, so when he saw Cai Gen and Chen Ting
, Liang Jian thought, fortunately he didn’t bring it.
The atmosphere of the dinner was quite relaxed, Chen Ting didn't talk much, but Jiang Shihuan was the main leader of the dinner, so he was very lively at the time. With Cai Gen giving him face, the four of them sat together and drank some wine, which made them closer to each other.
A lot.
When the wine was almost drunk, while chatting, Liang Jian half-consciously and half-unintentionally brought the topic to the temporary replacement of the position of director of the research department.
Liang Jian raised his glass, thanked Cai Gen, and said: "Mayor Cai, you are the biggest help for me to sit in this position. I must give you another toast. If it weren't for you, the position of director would definitely belong to our director Zhen.
Yes, I heard that it was originally decided yesterday."
As soon as Liang Jian said these words, Cai Gen was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly and asked Liang Jian: "What? You don't know what's going on?"
"Is there any hidden secret?" Liang Jian asked following the words.
Cai Gen looked at him for a while and said, "Don't pretend to be confused in front of me!"
Liang Jian hurriedly swore and said: "I'm not pretending to be confused, I really don't know. If you don't believe me, ask Minister Jiang, he knows. When he called me during the day, I couldn't believe it!"
Cai Gen looked at Jiang Shihuan, who nodded and replied: "Indeed. What Liang Jian said is true."
Cai Gen couldn't help being surprised. He looked at Liang Jian, then turned to Chen Ting and said, "Tell him. You know this matter better."
After Liang Jian heard this, he immediately looked at Chen Ting. Chen Ting smiled and said: "Actually, I'm not very sure. It is said that someone took some things to see Minister Zhu Mingtang last night. Then Minister Zhu
After reading these things, I took Zhen Dongwen to see Secretary Guo this morning. After meeting Secretary Guo, the things that were originally planned changed. However, what Zhu Mingtang and Zhen Dongwen told Secretary Guo was that Zhen Dongwen felt that he had been so bad recently.
I haven't done a very good job at work in the past year. There are currently some problems with the two tasks at hand, so I don't want to leave this position for the time being. I want to wait until these two tasks at hand are taken care of before considering the transfer.
Although Secretary Guo was dissatisfied with this temporary change of heart, Zhen Dongwen was resolute, and Secretary Guo and Zhu Mingtang had a good personal relationship, so he did not force it. However, some people said that the things Zhu Mingtang got last night were evidence of something Zhen Dongwen had done.
.Someone used this evidence to threaten Zhu Mingtang, asking him to give up Zhen Dongwen so that you could take over."
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment after hearing Chen Ting's words.
Liang Jian thought about it, and I'm afraid no one else would do such a move except the Tang family. Although Minister Xiang can do it if he wants to find evidence against Zhen Dongwen. But if he has evidence against Zhen Dongwen, at most
Leave it to Liang Jian and let Liang Jian perform on his own. He will not go directly over Liang Jian to find Zhu Mingtang. Such a direct method is very similar to the Tang family's style.
"Who do you think would do this?" Cai Gen suddenly asked him. Liang Jian came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I can't think of it. I think this may not be true. After all, even if
Even if there is such a thing, Minister Zhu will not tell it. So, I think it is still not fully believed."
After Liang Jian said this, he realized that it was a bit inappropriate. After all, it was Chen Ting who said those words just now. Who is Chen Ting, the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. Even if Liang Jian reaches the position of director of the Research Office, he is still worse than Chen Ting.
Liang Jian's rank was higher. Liang Jian said this in front of him, so he couldn't believe it. It was a slap in the face.
Just as Liang Jiang wanted to make amends, he heard Chen Ting take over: "You are right. After all, words spread, and there will be some discrepancies with the facts later. However, there must be a reason why this matter suddenly changed.
Zhen Dongwen has been working hard for this position for a long time, and it is impossible for him to give up so easily for ordinary reasons."
When he spoke, there was still a smile on his face. Seeing him like this, Liang Jian was slightly relieved, but he still made up for it. So he took over: "You are right!"
At this time, Cai Gen intervened and said: "Forget it, no matter what the reason is, as long as you come to sit in this seat, it will be a success. Come, let's all have a drink together. I respect you. I hope you will be the best in the future.
I can work harder and be better.”
Liang Jian hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said humbly: "Thank you, Mayor Cai, thank you, Secretary Chen, and Minister Jiang. Without your help, I would not have had the same luck. Anyway, thank you."
Then, Liang Jian stood up and bowed to the three of them. After finishing, Liang Jian said to Cai Gen: "Especially Mayor Cai. After finishing this glass of wine, I have to toast you with another glass alone.
"
Cai Gen stopped him and said, "If you want to respect me again, you have to save it for next time. That's it for today. This glass of wine is over. I have something to do later, so I can't leave after drinking too much."
Liang Jian heard that he still had something to do, so he couldn't persuade him anymore.
After drinking the glass of wine, Cai Gen sat for a while and prepared to leave. Chen Ting also left with him. Liang Jian and Jiang Shihuan sent the two of them out together, then returned and sat down.
The two of them stopped drinking and asked the waiter to bring in two cups of tea. They put away the bowls and chopsticks and started chatting while drinking tea.
Liang Jian was still a little curious about this temporary change of heart, so he asked Jiang Shihuan again: "Brother Jiang, tell me, how true or false is what Secretary Chen said just now?"
Jiang Shihuan pondered for a moment and said: "I think most of it should be true. Otherwise, this matter cannot be explained."
"Is it possible that what Minister Zhu received was not Zhen Dongwen's but Zhu Mingtang's own." Liang Jian thought for a moment and asked. He asked this because he felt that if Zhu Mingtang received
The things belong to Zhen Dongwen, so Zhen Dongwen will not be in the mood to get so angry when he returns to the bureau today. He should be more worried about those things.
Zhen Dongwen got angry because he felt unwilling to give up. The most likely reason why he was unwilling to give up was because he had to give up because of other people's reasons.
So Liang Jian speculated on Zhu Mingtang.
After Jiang Shihuan heard this, he was surprised at first, then frowned and thought about it, and felt that this seemed more reasonable, so he said: "What you said makes sense. However, I am afraid that only Minister Zhu knows what is going on."
Then, he suddenly stared at Liang Jian and asked: "But, you really don't know who did this?"
Although Liang Jian was 70-80% sure that someone from the Tang family did it, he felt it was hard to tell Jiang Shihuan, so he lied and said, "I really don't know. If I knew better, I would go directly."
If you ask, you don’t have to wonder what’s going on here.”
Jiang Shihuan did not doubt him.
The two sat for a while and then went home.
On the way back, Liang Jian thought about it and took out his cell phone to call Old Tang. When he called, as before, no one answered. Liang Jian called Tang Yi again. Tang Yi answered quickly.
Already.
Tang Yi picked up the phone and said with a smile: "I thought you would call earlier."
As soon as he said this, Liang Jian understood clearly. It seemed that this matter really had something to do with them.
Liang Jian felt grateful and moved in his heart, but there were also other feelings.
Liang Jian was silent for a while and asked, "How do you know this?"
Tang Yi smiled and said: "As the successor of the Tang family, I always have to pay attention to your life dynamics."
Liang Jian didn't know how to answer the question. After a while, he said a somewhat complicated thank you.
After hearing this, Tang Yi smiled and said, "You and we are a family, so thank you!"
Liang Jian didn't answer. After a few seconds, Tang Yi asked him: "You seem to have not been back for a while recently. Why don't you come and see your father Liang and the others?"
After being reminded by Tang Yi, Liang Jian finally remembered that he had indeed not gone back to see Liang's father and Liang's mother for many days recently. He had been distracted by the transfer and Dong Bin's affairs recently, so he forgot about it for a moment.
Liang Jian said hurriedly: "I've been busy lately and forgot about it. I'll go there this weekend."
"Okay, see you then." Tang Yi said with a smile and hung up the phone.
Liang Jian put down the phone, feeling somewhat inexplicably complicated.
