Xu Yang asked carefully: "Chu Yuan said that you went to Dujiang for the Qingping matter, so... you are worried about the tungsten mine?"

Meng Jinxing nodded, puffing on the smoke and said: "The original report was actually fine. It was the Iron Lady who asked them to lie and claim that they were wrong."

Xu Yang's eyes widened in shock and he looked at Meng Jinxing in disbelief.

"I wanted to find a perfect solution, but..." President Meng Jin sighed, pinched his sore nose, raised his head and tried to support his eye sockets, "It's too late! She should have taken the initiative to find Secretary Xia and Secretary He."

Xu Yang also started to light a cigarette.

Zhong Minxiu and Meng Jin walked close to each other, which he had known for a long time.

However, when Weng Canhui wanted to remove Meng Jinxing from his post, Zhong Minxiu supported him at all costs, which made Xu Yang feel a little incredible. Looking at Zhong Minxiu's behavior now, which is like a moth flying into a flame, she is not the iron lady in his impression at all.

She feels more like a little woman who is desperate for love.

Xu Yang didn't dare to ask this question. He knew that the relationship here was too sensitive. Even if it was true, he could only treat it as unknown, let alone his personal guess.

"Be more open-minded. In the official career, there are many things that people have no control over." Xu Yang advised somewhat feebly, "When it comes to this, only if she takes the initiative to acknowledge it can Secretary Xia be mentally prepared.

"

Meng Jinxing said nothing, lowered his head and smoked, his hands shaking all the time.

Zhong Minxiu's sacrifice was not a generous act of charity during the war years, and there were no bloody and ferocious scenes, but in his heart it was a bloody sacrifice, and he would continue to advance in his official career at the expense of her sacrifice in the future.

Xu Yang seemed to see his heart and whispered: "Who said that officialdom is not a battlefield? This is a battlefield without gunpowder. There are minefields and sacrifices at every step. This kind of sacrifice is not only the strength of all parties, but also the interests of all parties."

The balance includes a lot of internal consumption and sacrifice.”

He smiled helplessly, "Isn't it often that people complain and climb up by stepping on other people's shoulders? However, if someone uses a stepping stone for these complaining guys, they will also step on it without hesitation.

, because this road is too narrow, either he will fall or you will fall, and those who succeed must be a little bit ruthless!"

Meng Jinxing turned his head and looked at him, "Why haven't you done this before?"

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, then snorted and said: "Haha, not everyone can have the right time, place, and people, otherwise the pyramid would not be a pyramid."

Meng Jinxing took a few puffs, finished the cigarette in his hand, crushed it heavily in the ashtray, stood up and said, "I'll go to her house to have a look."

Xu Yang immediately grabbed him and stopped him: "You can't go! If you want her sacrifice to be in vain, then you go. If not, just wash your face, brush your teeth, have breakfast, and do whatever you need to do!"

Hu Sihai happened to buy breakfast and walked in. When he heard Xu Yang talking about breakfast, he immediately said: "It's good to eat it while it's hot."

Meng Jinxing felt like a huge stone was pressing on his chest. He stayed there for a few seconds before picking up a washbasin, towel and other items to wash his face.

Hu Sihai put everything away, and when he heard the sound of water rushing from the corridor, he asked Xu Yang in a low voice: "Have you persuaded me?"

Xu Yang nodded, "We'll eat first, and you can just pretend that nothing happened."

Hu Sihai agreed and sat down to eat with Xu Yang first.

Meng Jinxing brushed his teeth vigorously by the sink, one brush at a time, as if the two rows of neat teeth were covered with dirt that would not be removed.

Yan Min, who lived in the same building, came to wash his face. When he saw him, he asked in surprise: "Director, why is your mouth full of blood?"

Meng Jinxing turned to look at Yan Min and asked, "Really?"

Yan Min nodded heavily and said, "Are you angry? I'll get you some honeysuckle later."

Meng Jinxing forced a smile at Yan Min, spit out toothpaste that was full of blood in his mouth and thanked him.

…

Work did not leave Meng Jinxing too much time to feel sad, and it also gave him an excuse not to think about Zhong Minxiu.

Early that morning, the Dawn Newspaper published a report titled "An 11-year-old primary school student was illegally detained. People from all walks of life strongly appealed - Do not use hostage methods to deal with economic disputes" in a prominent position on the front page.

At the same time, CCTV's morning news programs also broadcast this news, and public opinion was in an uproar.

Meng Jinxing received a call from Qin Wanhua from Beijing at noon, telling him that the Prime Minister was extremely sad after seeing the news and had instructed the relevant parties to "rescue the little hostage as soon as possible at any cost."

She also said that throughout the morning, the All-China Women's Federation, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and scholars from all walks of life had issued appeals for the hostage incident, and the response from readers was also quite strong. Just before she called Meng Jinxing, the Xiangbei Provincial Government had called Shuguang

According to the report, the deputy governor of the province, Ge Liyun, personally led a team to Leihe Town to rescue the young hostage.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Cai Kuangzheng, who had not slept together for three days and four nights, called from Dujiang. Xu Jianguo had caught him!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Jinxing received a call from the city government and rushed to Shanghai to attend a special meeting hosted by Weng Canhui to coordinate the rescue of the young hostages in Leihe.

At the meeting, Weng Canhui conveyed the instructions of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, requiring the Shencheng Public Security Bureau to immediately interrogate Xu Jianguo, and also requested the Shencheng City Party Committee and Municipal Government to take practical actions to safeguard the interests of farmers in Leihe.

He quoted verbatim what Provincial Party Committee Secretary Huang Lin said at the afternoon telephone conference: "Illegal detention of primary school students as hostages is a serious crime, and the legitimate rights and interests of children and farmers should be protected."

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Meng Jinxing, who was waiting at Dujiang Airport with Dong Yiming, secretary of the Shencheng Political and Legal Committee, and others, received a call. Wu Guangyu and others had handed Ma Wenlong over to the Xiangbei Provincial Police. The little hostage was only two days after the report was issued.

More than ten hours later, we were rescued!

Meng Jinxing immediately called Qin Wanhua to tell her the good news and express his heartfelt thanks to her.

The group flew directly to Shakou and traveled day and night to Lanli County at ten o'clock the next day.

Comrades from the Lanli County Party Committee Office and the Political and Legal Committee warmly received Dong Yiming, Meng Jinxing, the child's mother and others. Meng Jinxing finally met Kang Yue and Mo Bai, whom he had only heard of before.

Seeing Ma Mu Liu Fen who was nervous, anxious and looking forward to it, Kang Yue asked Lan Li's people to let Liu Fen, Ma Wenlong and her son meet immediately.

Shen Ming, director of the Lanli County Party Committee Office, smiled at them and said, "It's too late today. See you tomorrow."

Meng Jinxing and others looked at Shen Ming in astonishment. Dong Yiming pondered for a moment and then said: "No matter how late it is, the mother and son should be allowed to meet today. For a mother, the separation of mother and son for more than 140 days can be called

Seconds are like years. My child is in your county now, why is it too late to meet him?"

Shen Ming was a little embarrassed, "I thought about everyone being tired from the journey."

"Please ask Director Shen to help us arrange it!" Dong Yiming insisted.

Shen Ming opened his mouth again and again, and Zhou Zhenjiang, secretary of the County Political and Legal Affairs Committee who came with him, told the truth for him, "When the matter is so big, you still only know how to let people go, but avoid talking about substantive issues.

! It’s better to wait until we can talk about it later. Let’s see each other again!”

Dong Yiming immediately proposed to negotiate on this substantive issue immediately!

Shen Ming and Zhou Zhenjiang went out to make calls together, and came back ten minutes later to take them to the conference room of Lanli Hotel. Meng Jinxing and others discovered that Lanli County had actually made preparations for negotiations that night. County leaders and relevant officials

The department heads were sitting in the conference room early in the morning and saw that although their attitudes were polite, their words were cold.

After both parties took their seats, Shen Ming said that they would have to wait, as the farmer representatives from Leihe Town were on their way.

After the greetings, the expressions of both parties were very serious. The conference room was filled with smoke, and a cough from someone unknown caused loud echoes.

Twenty minutes later, people arrived. In addition to the representatives Shen Ming mentioned, there were also villagers with their families and their families, who blocked the meeting room outside the door.

The negotiations lasted for a long time, and the focus of the dispute always revolved around the issue of whether to hand over the money first or pay back the money first.

When we talked about the negotiations on the plane back afterwards, most of the people who went there had the same idea as Meng Jinxing, wishing they had 100,000 yuan to spend to get rid of this matter.

But the fact is, everyone knows not to do this.

If you do this, it will be equivalent to acquiescing to the practice of kidnapping small hostages, and the so-called law and public order and good customs will become a ridiculous irony.

The tug-of-war continued in the conference room. The farmers outside the door were on the verge of losing their patience. They cursed fiercely. Some even started to smash the door and threw children's milk bottles at the representatives of Shencheng in front of the conference table...

Kang Yue went to the toilet, but was regarded by the farmers as the representative of Shencheng. He was blocked in the toilet and almost couldn't come back...

Both parties were suffering physically and mentally, and every negotiator felt helpless and heavy pressure to move forward.

In the early morning, Kang Yue faced a stalemate and could only use his last trump card - if he could not see Ma Wenlong tomorrow morning, he would write an internal reference to report the situation upward.

Lanli finally gave in.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Meng Jinxing and other negotiators were waiting in the lobby of the hotel with Liu Fen. The May sun had already hung in the sky early, and the sunshine was shining brightly on Ma Wenlong, who walked into the lobby holding hands with the police.

The pale face of the child who had been illegally detained for 148 days was clearly and vividly illuminated.

The first time he saw Liu Fen, Ma Wenlong broke away from the policeman's hand and flew into Liu Fen's arms. The mother and son hugged each other and cried as if no one was around in the crowded lobby.

Meng Jinxing and others all turned away in unison, concealing their sad feelings.

When Dong Yiming, Meng Jinxing and their entourage got off the plane at Dujiang Airport, they received news from Shencheng that the court had forcibly auctioned Xu Jianguo's property purchased in Dujiang and other frozen Xu Jianguo's personal properties, and the proceeds were worth 100,000 yuan.

Yu Yuan has been remitted to Leihe Grain, Oil and Food Factory in one go.

This case that alarmed senior officials in Beijing has finally come to a successful conclusion.
Chapter completed!
