Chapter 27 - II
Qu Zhendong said some more compassionate words and then said to Jiang Xiaochuan in casual chat: “The world is not peaceful now. I didn’t expect what happened last week. I thought the young man was pretty good before, and he was still a candidate for Secretary Zheng’s son-in-law. I heard that he was getting married in a few days, but I never thought that something like this would happen now. Secretary Zheng is probably very anxious. Alas, things in this world are hard to say. He was fine two days ago… I thought he was a good young man. …”
Jiang Xiaochuan gradually began to hear something, but he did not interrupt Qu Zhendong and allowed him to speak slowly.
“What happened Zhou Qian has to go through the judicial process in the end. He is in this situation because of his own fault. No one else can blame him. You used to be a good person in the field of judiciary, and you can speak well in this area. You should make decisions for the people. We must not hesitate at this time. This kind of social worm, the scum of the country, and the black sheep of our party must be dealt with severely and never tolerated!” At the end of the sentence, Qu Zhendong’s expression was completely righteous.
Jiang Xiaochuan nodded solemnly, showing a calm and serious look. To be honest, Jiang Xiaochuan could only speak for himself on the judicial side.
The procuratorate and the courts existed independently of the municipal party committee and city government. This was based on the separation of powers and judicial independence in the West.
Qu Zhendong said he asked Jiang Xiaochuan to intervene, which was just a joke, but the meaning behind it was to ask him to throw stones at Zhou Qian and stumble him, and it would be best to bring Zhou Qian to death.
Qu Zhendong was now the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Originally, according to the policy set by Deng Xiaoping after ten years of turmoil, the team on the central side remained only in and out.
In other words, as long as officials made no mistakes and had decent political performance, they could be stable. Steady promotion was determined by China’s entire system. The political situation at that time was very complicated. The leaders at that time set this policy to maintain the overall situation of unity and stability.
Unfortunately, now, Jiang Xiaochuan personally feels that such a policy had become out-of-date. He agreed with what Qu Zhendong said.
Qu Zhendong looked at the time and felt that it was getting late, so he stood up and said: “I’ve been here long enough. There are still people waiting for me at home, so I won’t eat at your place.”
“By the way——” Qu Zhendong was talking while walking but suddenly remembered something, turned around and tapped his head with his finger, and said with a smile: “Look at my memory, I have forgotten the most important things. Brother Encheng, you are the Vietnam War Injured veterans, tomorrow the military region will organize an event to express condolences to the veterans. It is estimated that someone will lead a team to see you, and maybe even reporters from the TV station will come to interview you. You have to be prepared and wear something bright. Haha…”
“Thank you, Secretary Qu, for reminding me,” Jiang Encheng stood up, and his gray hair seemed to have grown a little more.
Qu Zhendong waved his hand, “This is nothing; it’s just a trivial matter. I’ll leave now. Xiao Jiang, this is a sensitive period. Although we have a clear conscience, human words are terrible things after all. Chengzhou is really in chaos.”
.
He helped Jiang Encheng sit down and went to get the food himself. The two of them sat at the same table and had a meal. Then Jiang Xiaochuan went back to the room to pay attention to the latest developments of Zhou Qian’s incident.
The assimilation power of Chengzhou officialdom was too strong. This bottom-line principle was very dangerous. Jiang Encheng also said this to himself in his previous life. Unfortunately, Jiang Xiaochuan failed to keep his bottom line in the end.
At that moment, Jiang Encheng held Jiang Xiaochuan’s hand and said slowly: “The trend in Chengzhou is not quite right recently. I am a rough man. I don’t understand your politics, but I know a little thing. The most important thing is to stand in the right place. If you follow the right route, everything will turn around. I don’t care about your affairs. You should have an idea of what means you use. It’s not that you can’t use means, but you have to have a measure. You are an official. Yes, you must have a bottom line in your heart.”
Jiang Encheng had been down and out a lot over the years, what things had he never seen before? He just didn’t want to talk about politics.
As soon as Qu Zhendong left, Jiang Xiaochuan’s face turned completely dark, which was what Jiang Encheng expected.
So, he just watched Jiang Xiaochuan leaving to his room.
.
At night, he started to worry about Zhang Xiaoli. She was under the protection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection now, right?
There was very little news on the Internet, and most of it was fake. After reading it for a while, he found it boring. Jiang Xiaochuan would naturally contribute to this matter. He was actually one of the initiators, but few people know it.
Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t expect as he was thinking this, his phone suddenly rang. He quickly picked it up and it turned out to be Wei Lai.
“Wei Lai?” He was a little surprised. It was so late, and it was not working time. It was absolutely wrong for Wei Lai to call him.
“The person in charge of Warwick Group’s China region escaped with the donation.”
Wei Lai’s voice was trembling. Even Jiang Xiaochuan, who seemed to have nothing to do with this matter, was a little dizzy by the news. Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment.
Something happened on the front foot a week ago, and something happened on the back foot of Warwick Group. Not long after the preferential policies were implemented, Warwick Group also received a loan from China Construction Bank, which was specially approved by the government. Now there was such a big turning point…
He was just frightened from the bottom of his heart –
