The next day, a member of the Jingzhou inspection team, Deputy Director Zhong Xiaoai, visited Secretary Tian Guofu of the Handong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and mentioned that they had received a letter of complaint involving Comrade Liang Qunfeng, the retired Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and that there might be some problems in some aspects.

Liang Qunfeng is Gao Yuliang’s predecessor.

After receiving the relevant materials from Zhong Xiaoai, Tian Guofu read them, touched his hair which was not healthy, and reported the relevant situation to Sha Ruijin immediately.

After thinking for a moment, Sha Ruijin said, "Old Tian, ​​please ask Comrade Zhong Xiaoai to come to my office. Never mind, I'll ask Xiaobai to go."

"Okay, Secretary Sha."

Soon, Zhong Xiaoai received a call from Secretary Bai and came to Sha Ruijin's office.

After Secretary Bai closed the door, Zhong Xiaoai walked over and said to Sha Ruijin, "Uncle, hello."

Sha Ruijin sat behind his desk and said to Zhong Xiaoai, "In a work setting, it's better to call me by my title."

"Yes, Secretary Sha." Zhong Xiaoai followed suit.

"Deputy Director Zhong, why did you suddenly come to investigate Liang Qunfeng?" Sha Ruijin asked straight to the point.

"Of course, someone handed the materials to our inspection team, and we want to follow up on it." Zhong Xiaoai explained immediately.

"What's your real reason, Deputy Director Zhong?" Sha Ruijin asked in a deep voice.

Zhong Xiaoai didn't expect Sha Ruijin to be so straightforward and merciless. Moreover, Sha Ruijin's official aura at the moment was very stressful. At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai found that the gap between herself and Sha Ruijin was so huge.

No wonder, he is now the top boss in Handong, while I am just a deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

"Secretary Sha, there are two reasons. The target of our investigation team this time is Zhao Lichun, and Liang Qunfeng was one of Zhao Lichun's important deputies when he was in power."

Sha Ruijin nodded and said nothing.

"In addition, Liang Qunfeng does have many problems. The simplest example is Director Qi Tongwei, the one who just died, is Liang Qunfeng's son-in-law. And the reason why Qi Tongwei became Liang Qunfeng's woman was because Liang Qunfeng abused his power and forced her to marry him. He even forced Qi Tongwei to kneel down and propose to him."

Sha Ruijin also knew something about this, but was not very familiar with it.

"Just these two reasons?" Sha Ruijin asked again.

Zhong Xiaoai hesitated for a moment before saying, "There is also a personal reason. The director of the Handong Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau, Hou Liangping, was framed. Fortunately, Qi Tongwei shot and killed four kidnappers and cleared Hou Liangping's name. We want to do something for Qi Tongwei."

Sha Ruijin pondered for a while before saying, "Deputy Director Zhong, you know, I just came to Handong. You are investigating Zhao Lichun. If you bring too many people out, it will bring additional adverse effects."

Obviously, Sha Ruijin has considered the issues more comprehensively. If Sha Ruijin comes, he will arrest many people in office and even more retired people. In Handong, the public reputation will definitely be affected. The key is that the higher-ups will also think that Sha Ruijin's control ability is not good enough.

"Xiaosha, how do you do things? You make people panic and you are useless."

Then Sha Ruijin would cry.

In the final analysis, politics is about compromise and balance. It is not enough to just rush in headfirst.

"Secretary Sha, Liang Qunfeng's reputation in Handong was mediocre before. From another perspective, this also shows that we have brought deterrence to more people, that is, we can never do whatever we want at any time."

Sha Ruijin hesitated for a while before saying, "It's all controlled by Liang Qunfeng alone."

"Yes, Secretary Sha."

After coming out of Sha Ruijin's office, Zhong Xiaoai felt sweat all over her back. Although Sha Ruijin didn't say anything and agreed with her, Zhong Xiaoai felt that Sha Ruijin was constantly putting pressure on her.

Walking into the corridor, Zhong Xiaoai suddenly realized that Sha Ruijin treated her like this not for Liang Qunfeng, but to send a signal to the Jingdu inspection team. That is, everything needs to be carried out within his control.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiaoai felt heavy-hearted. The pressure on the inspection team was great. In fact, this was also a matter of everyone doing their own job.

But Sun Zhenghong returned to Jingzhou and had not been lying at home for long when he received a call from Guo Lingling, "Where are you? Let's have lunch together."

"Okay, I'll come see you at noon."

Just after twelve o'clock, Guo Lingling came to the outside of the provincial department and was very happy to see Sun Zhenghong. At this time, Zhao Donglai also came over and greeted Sun Zhenghong. The two looked disgusted with each other, which made Guo Lingling very curious.

I still walked over and said hello.

"Director Zhao... Director, Zhenghong, hello."

Zhao Donglai looked at Guo Lingling and his expression changed immediately. "Director Guo, hello, hello."

Sun Zhenghong said, "Okay, let's go eat. It's your treat."

"No, why did you two bring me along when you went to have dinner? I was just a figurehead. And the key point is that you let me treat you." Zhao Donglai seemed very unhappy.

Guo Lingling looked at Sun Zhenghong, and was speechless. This guy actually asked Zhao Donglai to treat him.

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with Director Lu for you. You can treat me to a meal, what's the big deal? Besides, you're the boss of the provincial department, how can you not treat me?"

Zhao Donglai almost rolled his eyes.

Guo Lingling discovered that Sun Zhenghong and Zhao Donglai had an unusually good relationship. This guy was quite good at scheming. He also got along well with Secretary Sha.

Soon, Sun Zhenghong called Lu Yike.

"Director Lu, Director Zhao is inviting me to dinner and threatening me to call you over. Are you coming?"

"..." Zhao Donglai.

"Director Zhao, who is this?"

"Zhao Dong is here."

"Isn't he the director? No, he was promoted to director the day before yesterday. Okay, I'll come over."

"Okay, Director Zhao, you pick the place. After all, it's you who's treating us."

Zhao Donglai was unhappy and said, "I told you before that after you return to Jingzhou, don't look for me again, but you keep pestering me."

Guo Lingling understood what he said and asked, "Director Zhao, have you two been out of town before?"

Zhao Donglai immediately realized that he had spoken out of turn.

Sun Zhenghong said, "We went to Qijia Village, the hometown of Director Qi Tongwei."

"Is that so?" Guo Lingling did not ask any more questions. When Qi Tongwei was buried, only twenty people from the provincial department went, and as a newcomer, she did not get a turn.

Soon, Lu Yike arrived.

The four of us had a great time chatting and, of course, eating happily too.

At this moment, Sun Zhenghong's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Upon listening, it turned out to be Zhao Ruilong.

Sun Zhenghong motioned for everyone to stop talking, then said, "Mr. Zhao, why did you suddenly call me?"

Zhao Donglai immediately became fully focused.

The same goes for Guo Lingling and Lu Yike.

"You want to meet me, no problem."

"Where?"

"Shanshui Manor. I don't really want to go there. I'm just an ordinary person and I don't have the spending power. How about Mr. Zhao, please go somewhere else?"

"Okay, the elegant store in Jingzhou Park is fine."

"Then see you at seven o'clock in the evening."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Zhenghong took the initiative to repeat the content of the call. Zhao Donglai seemed very surprised. Why did Zhao Ruilong suddenly look for you, and why did he look for you?

"Maybe, he wants to bribe me. After all, Mr. Zhao thinks that people like me will be very obedient if they are given 100 million or 200 million."
