Chapter 222: The Way of Balance
Powerful Career -
Wang Junqiang drank so much that night that Lu Yan and the two drivers finally carried him into the car and took him to the guest house to settle down. Lu Yan and the others did not go back, and were also at the guest house with the two drivers.
Dealing with it all night.
However, Wang Junqiang drank too much and sobered up quickly. Early the next morning, Lu Yan just got up and went to have breakfast when he saw Wang Junqiang already waiting in the lobby of the guest house.
Seeing Lu Yan come down, Wang Junqiang quickly stood up from the sofa and ran over. Following Lu Yan's footsteps and walking out, his first words were to apologize to Lu Yan, saying that he had lost his temper last night and had lost the secretary's face.
In fact, what Wang Junqiang said was quite the opposite. He knew in his heart that Lu Yan would never blame himself for his performance yesterday. After all, it was Sidaogou Town who came out to treat the guests, and he had to greet those from the Finance Department.
Okay. Wang Junqiang's performance yesterday could be said to be that he fought until the last bullet was fired before he fell gloriously on the battlefield. Although he inevitably ended up drunk in the end, he still fought hard to defeat the other four deputy directors.
This record is still very strong.
In fact, this is also a bad habit in Chinese wine shops. Whether you are happy or not depends on whether someone is drunk. Yesterday, we defeated the four deputy directors of the Finance Bureau. Naturally, this drink will be particularly fondly remembered by them.
, which means I was very happy to drink.
As expected, Lu Yan did not mean to blame Wang Junqiang. He praised him a few words, asked him with concern if he was okay with his health, and said that from now on, he would be the one running the line in the Finance Bureau.
Wang Junqiang quickly agreed. Listening to Lu Yan's words, he knew that yesterday's drink was not in vain. From this sentence, Lu Yan might have truly included himself in his circle. Even the Finance Director
They all want to get close to Lu Yan. Now that he has entered this circle, can Wang Junqiang not be happy?
After leaving the door of the guest house, Lu Yan asked Wang Junqiang what he wanted to eat. Although Wang Junqiang had sobered up, his stomach was really uncomfortable. He didn't want to eat at first, but in order to accompany Lu Yan at this time, he had to hold on.
come out.
At this time, Lu Yan asked Wang Junqiang what he wanted to eat. Suddenly, Wang Junqiang couldn't answer. When Lu Yan saw Wang Junqiang's appearance, he naturally knew that he must be feeling uncomfortable in his stomach, so he smiled and said that he would take him to a place to ensure that he
It makes my stomach feel good after eating it.
The two of them didn't call for a taxi. Wang Junqiang followed Lu Yan's footsteps and walked through the alleys. After a while, they came to a street stall. Lu Yan pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the table.
.
This stall is somewhat similar to the street stall that Lu Yan ate at with Zhang Xilan last time in Wucheng. The stall owners are an old couple who sell pimple soup.
After Lu Yan sat down, he greeted the old couple with a smile. They looked familiar, and then ordered two more bowls of pimple soup.
Soon, the old aunt came over with two steaming bowls. Before Wang Junqiang could react, Lu Yan had already stood up, took the bowls, and placed one bowl in front of Wang Junqiang.
Wang Junqiang is from Hongchuan, but this was the first time he drank this pimple soup. As Lu Yan said, after drinking a bowl of hot soup, his stomach felt much better.
Today is Friday. After breakfast, Lu Yan decided to go back to Wucheng to have a look. But at this time, Wang Junqiang offered to go to Sidaogou Town, and the two of them separated at the guest house.
On the way back to Wucheng, Lu Yan called Lin Xiaoyun and Xia Qiu respectively and told them that he was going back. It was already late January, and there were still about ten days before the Chinese New Year, and Lu Yan also wanted to go home.
Go and help the two families buy some New Year's goods.
In the car going back, Lu Yan took out the card Liang Hongtao gave him yesterday. He took it out of the red envelope and saw that it was actually a shopping card with a denomination of 5,000 for Wucheng Qianlong Shopping Center. This denomination still made Lu Yan
He was shocked, but since he had already accepted it and it was just a courtesy among colleagues during the New Year and holidays, Lu Yan didn't need to worry too much.
It was only around ten o'clock in the morning when we returned to Wucheng. Lu Yan first went to look at his new house in Hongyun Yiyuan. Xia Qiu was busy preparing lunch. Lu Yan chatted with his mother for a while and then went out to pick up Lin Xiaoyun.
.
Naturally, there was a lot of boredom when two people met, and they wasted some time on the way. When Lu Yan and Lin Xiaoyun arrived home, Lin Zhijie and Cui Xiaoying had already arrived first.
As the New Year was approaching, Lin Zhijie, the Chief Prosecutor, finally had a little leisure time. He heard that his son-in-law was coming, and he took Cui Xiaoying to his daughter and son-in-law's new house right after get off work.
During lunch, Lu Yan learned from Lin Zhijie that Zhang Hongguang had been cheated. Lu Yan was a little surprised by the news, but he was also surprised.
Zhang Hongguang was executed as Shuanggui when he was the Secretary of the Ximin Municipal Party Committee. In November this year, Zhang Hongguang was transferred from the position of Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to the position of Secretary of the Ximin Municipal Party Committee. Unexpectedly, it only took two months.
, something happened.
There was no warning before Zhang Hongguang was arrested, especially when he was entrusted with the important task of serving as secretary of the municipal party committee, which reflected the trust of the provincial party committee in him. It is said that at that time, comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission came to the Ximin Municipal Committee and announced that he would be punished.
When Shuanggui was implemented, Zhang Hongguang was still very arrogant. He publicly said that some people must be retaliating against him and asked to have a phone call with Provincial Party Committee Secretary Xu Richeng and Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Wang Haibo.
Of course, the investigators of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection did not listen to his words, and he did not think about it. Shuanggui, a member of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of a prefecture-level city, must have been approved by the top leader of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Otherwise, who would be so big?
The courage to attack him.
A cadre of Zhang Hongguang's level was naturally investigated in a very secretive manner. After being Shuanggui, he only stayed in Xizhou Province for one night. Early the next morning, he was taken to other provinces by the task force to implement Shuanggui.
Lin Zhijie is the chief prosecutor of the Provincial High People's Procuratorate. The procuratorate also participated in the investigation of many cases involving Zhang Hongguang, so he is relatively familiar with the situation of this case.
On the day Zhang Hongguang was executed, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection sent cadres to search Zhang Hongguang’s home in Wucheng City. More than 6 million in cash was found just from mattresses and sofas, as well as a large number of high-end luxury goods.
Tobacco, alcohol and electronic products.
Just these huge amounts of property from unexplained sources can convict Zhang Hongguang. Moreover, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection also found that Zhang Hongguang also maintained three mistresses, and committed many crimes in the name of his son Zhang Yuan and his mistress.
real estate.
With this evidence, whether Zhang Hongguang recruited the suspects himself or not, it can be said that the case is almost solid.
It seemed that Zhang Hongguang's life was over. Lu Yan thought to himself, I wonder if Zhang Yuan was affected by this incident. But no matter what, even if he was not affected, this kid's IQ and work ability would be lost.
Don't even think about making any achievements after getting Zhang Hongguang as your big backer.
What he heard about Zhang Hongguang's double-guidance greatly touched Lu Yan. It made him sad and a little frightened at the same time.
What made him sigh was that officialdom was so funny. Zhang Hongguang and his father Lu Xiaodong were once the two people who had the best relationship. Lu Xiaodong died mysteriously before. It was widely rumored in Xizhou official circles that he committed suicide out of fear of crime after having financial problems. But in the end, the official
But there has never been a similar statement.
After Lu Xiaodong's incident, Zhang Hongguang quickly drew a clear line with the Lu family, and he also tried his best to add insult to injury. He also flaunted a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance to the outside world and was extremely disdainful of Lu Xiaodong's corruption.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaodong finally passed the test of time. Although he died, the organization still trusted him. And this sanctimonious Zhang Hongguang has now become a criminal among the people.
As he thought about it, Lu Yan felt frightened again. He also thought that there was a card worth 5,000 yuan in his pocket. According to the disciplinary regulations, this amount of 5,000 yuan was enough to sentence him.
Lu Yan couldn't help but feel nervous. He knew a little bit about the shady secrets of civil servants before, but since he entered this team, this was the first time he came into contact with this amount.
Perhaps seeing that something was wrong with his son-in-law's expression, Lin Zhijie changed the topic and talked about the current situation in the officialdom.
Lin Zhijie said humorously that there was a joke during the Republic of China. A warlord once said that all officials above the security chief level should be arrested and shot. Then if you go back and check, you will find that these people who were shot are very likely to be dead according to the law.
None of them are wronged.
This also shows that the current situation of officialdom during the Republic of China and the general environment were there. Whether he was greedy or not did not depend on his own behavior, but on whether anyone wanted to investigate him. Therefore, there was a strange status quo during the Republic of China, that is,
Anti-corruption has become a means of attacking opponents.
Listening to Lin Zhijie's words, Lu Yan certainly knew that his old father-in-law was borrowing ancient metaphors to teach him a lesson. The welfare of Chinese officials is the best in the world. After reaching a certain level, the salary of officials is basically fixed.
.The state pays for food, drinks and travel, and more than enough clothing and supplies are given as gifts. During the New Year and holidays, there will be various benefits and indispensable human courtesy. If it is really true, I am afraid it is
Everyone's butt is never clean.
Now, the Spring Festival is coming, which is a traditional Chinese festival. This kind of festival is also the time when officialdom becomes popular. Although I am just a rural official, I have now received such a shopping card, and I am just a person.
He couldn't tell how many there would be in the beginning or in the future.
Lu Yan has given gifts to others before, and he also knows that human courtesy is something that Chinese people cannot deny. Now Liang Hongtao has come to give him a shopping card. In that case, he must accept it. It is not okay if he does not accept it. If
If you refused at that time, you not only rejected Liang Hongtao's kindness, but also hurt the other person's face. They would think that you don't treat him as one of their own.
Liang Hongtao is like this, and it will be the same if someone gives him a gift later. A master once summed up brilliantly that in officialdom, there are either friends or enemies, and there will never be a third front. If you reject someone's kindness
, it is very likely that you are pushing others to be against you. The consequence of this is not only losing a friend, but also possibly establishing an enemy for yourself.
Lin Zhijie said again at this time, walking in the officialdom can be said to be walking on such a single-plank bridge. Also walking on the bridge, some people walk very steadily, turning this single-plank bridge into a broad road. Some people just walk on it.
