Personal security

Chapter 22: Emergency

After leaving Zhao Jianhui, Guo Dongyu was very calm, and his face was less enthusiastic. He had a common problem like all secretaries. He sat in the small reception room with exquisite decoration, like a taciturn person, and basically didn't talk much.

Hu Zunxian chatted with him for a few words, and then he stopped talking consciously, drinking tea, and organizing the words he should express after entering the mysterious room opposite.

He didn't know how long Zhao Jianhui would stay in there, but he clearly remembered that Secretary Guo had said that Mo only had half an hour to receive Zhao Jianhui and himself. If Zhao Jianhui stayed in there for "too long", how could he make things clear in the shortest time? He knew in his heart that the shorter the time left for himself, the more he would be tested.

Five minutes and twenty-two seconds, Zhao Jianhui stayed in Boss Mo's room for such a short time, but Hu Zunxian felt that it was as long as a century. The moment he saw Zhao Jianhui coming out of the room, Hu Zunxian stood up involuntarily.

Zhao was very considerate, leaving him enough time.

Seeing Zhao Jianhui nod to him, Hu Zunxian gave him a firm look, grabbed his bag, and pushed open the mysterious and frightening door.

On the sofa in the inner room, the old man who was very familiar to the people of the whole province sat there solemnly. His face was very calm. The closer you get to him, the more you can feel the infinite pressure bursting out from him.

Seeing Zhao Jianhui sitting on the sofa next to him, Guo Dongyu stood up again and smiled. Seeing him take out a cigarette from his pocket, he handed the ashtray in front of him to Zhao Jianhui.

"Thank you..." Zhao Jianhui said lightly, lit the cigarette with a ding, took a puff of the cigarette, watched the curling smoke rise in front of him, but sighed deeply in his heart. Since I stepped into this road, whether intentionally or unintentionally, whether I voluntarily or passively fight back, the road ahead is always accompanied by bloody storms.

Huanghai, Dayun City, Beijing, Pengzhou... The scenes I have experienced keep flashing in front of Zhao Jianhui. In two years, I have stepped from the ranks of deputy director to deputy director, and there is already a long list of officials at the department, bureau, department, department, and ministerial level who have fallen behind me.

This road is really tiring, but I have been forced to take the risk. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I can't retreat, otherwise, I will be the next one to fall.

Can I blame myself? Thinking about it, I feel that I can neither blame myself nor anyone else. This road is full of flowers and thorns. Only by flattening the thorns blocking the road can you smell the fragrance of flowers, otherwise, you can only be pierced by thorns and bleeding.

However, what is a flower and what is a thorn, everyone has different standards in their hearts, and the goals they see are also different.

Maybe it was the experience of living in an orphanage since childhood that created my inherent cognition. In my opinion, an inflated GDP is not a flower, nor is a fleeting harmony. Only when people live and work in peace and harmony can they be the most beautiful and fragrant flowers.

Maybe there is not much money in my pocket, and there may not be chicken, fish, meat, eggs, and seafood on the table, but I can afford to see a doctor when I am sick, and I don’t have to spend my family penniless because of seeing a doctor.

When children go to school, adults don’t have to worry about whether there is a madman waving a kitchen knife at the school gate, but can go to work with peace of mind when waving goodbye.

When an old man falls on the road, someone dares to help him up, not worrying about whether he will be blackmailed.

When a child falls into the water, it is not a foreign girl who jumps in to rescue a bunch of compatriots who surround and point out, but rushes in without hesitation and works together to save the child.

When you go to a government department to do something, you don’t need to ask if there are any acquaintances first. Whether there are acquaintances or not, you can strictly handle it according to the law.

These things seem simple, but they are really difficult to do.

Zhao Jianhui was confident that he could satisfy himself in other aspects, but he was not inferior to some people he despised in terms of women. On the contrary, he was even better than them. Perhaps this is what the ancient sages said, "Gold is not pure gold, and no one is perfect."

"What are you thinking about? You seem to be very sad?" Guo Dongyu beside him had bright eyes, and he knew that he was worried at a glance.

Zhao Jianhui shook his head: "I'm wondering if what I did is worthy of my conscience."

"Haha, why do you think so?" Guo Dongyu looked at Zhao Jianhui strangely, and then his voice became very heavy: "People sometimes inadvertently ask themselves in their hearts, always wondering if they are good people. But the standard of a good person has different interpretations in the eyes of many people. On the street, you meet a beggar, you give him a steamed bun, then in the eyes of this beggar, you are a good person..."

Hearing him say this, Zhao Jianhui laughed: "Haha, don't say it, I already understand, but just be clear in your conscience."

"Well, you are right to think so. I have something to do here at noon, so I may not be able to accompany you. Can we have a good drink in the evening?" Guo Dongyu asked with a smile.

Zhao Jianhui shook his head: "It depends on the situation. Wait for Hu Zunxian to come out to see if Mo has any arrangements. If not, we will go back directly. There are still many things to do in the city."

However, what Zhao Jianhui didn't expect was that he couldn't stay in Shicheng to eat with Guo Dongyu at night. Even lunch was bread and mineral water delivered in the car.

Just when Hu Zunxian walked out of the door, and the two of them walked out of the hotel door and were discussing where to have lunch, Zhao Jianhui's cell phone rang suddenly, and after the call was answered, Li Wen was a little anxious. Voice: "Zhao, can you come back now? Something big has happened to the district committee."

Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He thought to himself that this guy Li Wen has been following him for a long time. He can be seen as a very calm person. Why is he talking so irritably this time? What big thing happened?

"Speak slowly, the sky won't fall." Zhao Jianhui scolded him in a dignified and solemn voice. Li Wen quickly calmed down and reported things much more smoothly. "It's like this, Zhao. When he was about to get off work this morning, a group of people blocked the door of the district committee compound. They were all the family members of the five fired cadres from the Xicheng Subdistrict Office. They said that those people were in accordance with the regulations. Those who are in charge of the leadership request that those few people be given ordinary lives and be restored to public office..."

"Nonsense, what does Li Chunhui do for food? Why didn't he report it? What is he doing now?" Zhao Jianhui was really anxious when he heard this. He was far away in the provincial capital, and there was a fire in the backyard of his home. He didn't know what could happen. It was so deep that he couldn't see or touch it, and he couldn't use his strength, so he directed his anger at Li Chunhui.

Li Wen's eardrums hurt when he heard it, but he didn't dare to hold the phone too far away from his ears. If he couldn't hear Zhao's instructions clearly, he would be making a big mistake.

"Early this morning, District Chief Hao took Li to Baoshigou Town to investigate a case. I just called him and he was on his way back. He asked me to report to you first." Li Wen's words shocked Zhao Jianhui. The anger suddenly disappeared. What a coincidence? When I came to the province today, District Chief Hao had something to do and went to the villages and towns, and he took Li Chunhui to investigate the case? What kind of big case could alarm two district leaders? What kind of case requires Hao Guotao to come forward?

"I understand, just watch and don't take care of anything. If you have any updates, call me anytime." After saying that, Zhao Jianhui smiled bitterly and said to Hu Zunxian who was standing next to him: "I can't have lunch. There's something going on in the area and I have to rush back as soon as possible. You can find a place to eat by yourself, I'll leave first."

"It doesn't matter, right?" Hu Zunxian has now completely tied himself to Zhao Jianhui's chariot. If something happens to Zhao Jianhui at this time, it will be over with him. Therefore, he asked with great concern. Zhao Jianhui sneered: "How many soldiers and generals can fight back? Don't worry, you can do whatever you want. Contact me when you get back." As he said, he shouted to Li Tao in the car: " Go to the supermarket over there and buy some bread, and we’ll have lunch on the way.”

When Li Tao came back, he saw that Zhao Jianhui was already sitting in the driving seat. Li Tao was stunned for a moment before getting into the passenger seat. Zhao Jianhui kicked the accelerator and the car floated forward.

At this time, Li Tao finally knew the performance of his old car, which was still old but not new. He thought to himself that I had been driving it for so long, why didn't I know that the car could still drive like this?

Zhao drove the car too hard. The speed was no less than 60 in the city. I don’t know if he had planned it or what happened. The lights at more than a dozen intersections along the way were all green. When he got on the highway, , this car has almost realized its potential as a sports car in Zhao Jianhui's hands. At this speed, there will be no need to mention the fines along the way. After returning home, the car will be fine without major repairs.

The two of them drove alternate shifts on the road to "eat", but after eating, it was Zhao Jianhui who drove the car. Along the way, Zhao Jianhui's cell phone kept ringing, including Li Chunhui's, Hao Guotao's, Ma Yufeng's, Chen Yaping's, and Jiang Zhenshan's. After exploding the battery, he changed the card to Li Tao’s mobile phone. When encountering this kind of mass incident, everyone is cautious, fearing that if the incident is handled improperly and arouse public outrage, they will be left with nothing to lose.

Zhao Jianhui just said a very simple sentence: "I can't come back now, and District Chief Hao will handle everything." Li Wen didn't call again, and Zhao Jianhui already felt confident.
