Chapter 31 I have a bad feeling
Wu Maocai looked Xiao Lili up and down, his eyes showing surprise. This woman is quite clever.
"What are you looking at?"
If your tigress knew, she'd gouge out your eyes.
Even if Wu Maocai had the desire to steal, he didn't have the guts to do so.
The two families live in the same neighborhood. If anything happens, Qin Hongmei will catch them immediately, and there will be chaos. He won't be able to continue as the director.
"What kind of person do you take me for?"
"Tch~ It's just a man, what else could it be?"
Wu Maocai wiped his forehead, realizing he was no match for Xiao Lili when it came to this kind of topic.
"Director Xiao, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Xiao Lili crossed her legs and slowly ate another bite of rice.
"If you're still pretending, then you're not friends anymore."
Looking across the entire building, who has the courage and intelligence to report Xie Changhe?
Who else could obtain solid evidence to get the provincial discipline inspection commission to take Xie Changhe away?
Moreover, who was it that, before Chen Dawei returned, grasped the situation, bought a house at a low price, and moved out immediately?
Wu Maocai looked around, thankfully no one had heard what he was saying.
The way he looked at Xiao Lili began to change.
"Director Xiao is amazing."
These words are spoken here, and they are disseminated here.
It wouldn't be good if this got out.
However, even if word gets out, I won't admit it.
The Discipline Inspection Commission has its own system and discipline.
He believed that the comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would protect him, the whistleblower who had made the report under his real name, and that people of lower rank would never know that it was him who had reported him.
Therefore, even if Xiao Lili guesses something, he can simply deny it.
The sentence I just said: "Let's talk here, and disperse here."
In reality, it was a hint to Xiao Lili that she had guessed correctly, and that she should be careful not to gossip about it.
This was Wu Maocai's gesture of goodwill, testing whether the other party was willing to cooperate; if so, they would be friends.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I won't talk nonsense."
It seems that Yuanshan County is about to undergo a major transformation.
Director Wu, we're friends now, we should look out for each other in the future.
Wu Maocai smiled and nodded: "That's natural, but more importantly, it's because you, Director Xiao, want to take care of me."
Wu Maocai knew that his relationship with Chen Dawei was rather bad.
Xiao Lili is a woman, and she's beautiful.
Even if she had minor conflicts with Dawei in the past, she could use her silver tongue to resolve them, making things relatively easier.
If Xiao Lili can win over Chen Dawei and put in a good word for Wu Maocai in the future, he will have an easier time.
"I enjoy dealing with smart people." Xiao Lili winked at him and then walked over with a mischievous grin.
In reality, it was impossible for her to have anything happen with Wu Maocai. If it were going to happen, it would have happened long ago. They had played cards together quite a bit before.
That's just her personality—outspoken and feisty.
She enjoys seeing men lust after her, yet she's unwilling to engage in casual sex with just anyone.
Living in the secular world, and being secular in itself, yet deep down yearning for pure and beautiful things.
at the same time.
Back in his office, Zhou Xiangzhang called Chen Tiecai, the mayor of Meihua City, back.
"it's me."
Chen Tiecai sounded very displeased on the other end of the phone.
Zhou Xiangzhang had prepared herself mentally beforehand, but she was still a little nervous after the call connected.
"Boss, something's happened at Changhe."
"I've already heard about it. Do you know who ordered the water?"
In the local context, "点水" (diǎn shuǐ) is similar to using underhanded tactics or making false accusations.
"I don't know yet. The disciplinary committee didn't say anything; they just took him away from the cafeteria..."
"I know all of that, no need to go into details. Let me tell you something I don't know."
"..." Zhou Xiangzhang's mind was foggy, and she couldn't explain herself.
I've been accompanying the investigation team from the city for the past few days.
I've been drinking at least twice a day and I still haven't recovered.
He wasn't very clear about what had happened recently in Yuanshan County.
"Did Xie Changhe do anything unusual?"
Have you had any serious conflicts with anyone recently?
"Have you dealt with all of Qiao Yong's men? Were there any who slipped through the net? Were they implicated by Qiao Yong's men?"
Chen Tiecai asked sternly.
Naturally, I was utterly disappointed.
When Yuanshan County was handed over to Zhou Xiangzhang, it was plagued with problems.
Recently, a lot of big things have happened.
Today, people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection came down in person.
Chen Tiecai was genuinely worried that one day the fire in Yuanshan County would spread to him.
After all, most of the members of the leadership team in Yuanshan County were trained by him.
"None of the situations you asked about should exist. If Changhe has anything going on, he will definitely tell me."
Is it possible that higher-ups conducted a covert investigation and uncovered something?
Chen Tiecai said firmly, "Impossible."
Do you think the Discipline Inspection Commission is doing nothing, spending all day conducting undercover investigations?
"If no one reports it, why would people from the provincial government go all the way to that remote mountain village in Yuanshan County?"
Zhou Xiangzhang frowned: "Who could have reported it?"
"What's the situation with Chen Dawei lately?"
Zhou Xiangzhang thought for a moment and replied, "He even considered resigning."
Not long ago, Chen Dawei went to Kyoto, saying that his teacher had passed away and he was there to attend the funeral.
Lin Wangyou investigated him thoroughly at the time.
They only released the man after confirming that he had no materials on him.
If he had, he would have reported it already.
Chen Tiecai let out a heavy sigh: "Now we just don't know how much material the Discipline Inspection Commission has, and we don't know if it will involve you."
It's troublesome if Zhou Xiangzhang is involved.
If Zhou Xiangzhang is taken away, then Chen Tiecai will also be in great danger.
"Old leader, you can rest assured about this."
I am very careful in my daily work.
I never say anything definitive to Xie Changhe; I only hint at things. Money and such never go through my hands.
Even if Xie Changhe is making baseless accusations, he still needs to have evidence, right?
Besides, I've worked with Xie Changhe for so many years, I think I understand him.
After he went inside, he didn't dare to involve me.
His precious son is in my hands.
Chen Tiecai breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his temples, but still felt uneasy.
"Xiangzhang, I'm almost sixty, and you're in your early fifties."
It's time to think about the next step.
I think it's time to slow down a bit.
I read books often now, especially history books.
I've found that the ultimate measure of how well someone fares in officialdom isn't how high a position they reach, but whether they land safely.
I have a bad feeling.
A powerful figure may emerge in Yuanshan County.
The provincial discipline inspection commission's move this time was swift and precise; it seems they're making room for someone.
Be careful.
If anything happens to you, I can't protect you.
Zhou Xiangzhang felt a chill run down her spine: "Thank you for your guidance, senior leader. I will keep it in mind and will definitely reflect on my actions..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Tiecai hung up the phone.
Zhou Xiangzhang sat in his office chair, lost in thought for a long time. This was the most severe reprimand Chen Tiecai had given him in recent years.
Even when Qiao Yong died, Chen Tiecai wasn't this harsh.
However, this was not what Zhou Xiangzhang feared most.
What frightened him most was the powerful figure that Chen Tiecai had just mentioned, who might appear.
Li Taoying from the County Party Committee Office knocked on the door and came in with a freshly brewed cup of Longjing tea. She then locked the door and placed the teacup on Zhou Xiangzhang's desk.
"Secretary, have some tea."
Zhou Xiangzhang nodded absentmindedly. Li Taoying drew the curtains, stood behind Zhou Xiangzhang's chair, and began to massage his shoulders.
"What's wrong? You look terrible."
Zhou Xiangzhang felt a little more relaxed when he smelled the fragrant breeze behind him, and reached out to touch Li Taoying's smooth hand.
"Come to my house and wait for me. It's too conspicuous here."
"Didn't this happen often before?"
"Go home and wait for me. Be more careful from now on."
