Although Chen Shaofeng thought he stood upright and acted straight, the rumors about him accepting bribes spread quickly to the ears of the leaders of the planning bureau after being spread by someone with a heart.

Director Wang of the Planning Bureau was recently transferred from the Shanghai Stock Exchange and was not familiar with Chen Shaofeng's situation. When he heard about this, his face darkened.

Nowadays, leaders are most afraid of corruption among their subordinates. There is a jingle in society: Everyone sitting on the stage is Kong Fansen, and everyone under the stage is Wang Baosen.That is to say, there are not many officials now who can stand the investigation, and often one person has an accident, and a series of investigations will be pulled out. Director Wang is very worried that this incident will affect the image of the entire Planning Bureau in the municipal government.

After thinking about it, Director Wang took out his phone and called Deputy Director Gao, who was in charge of the comprehensive land use, and asked him his opinion on the matter of Chen Shaofeng.

"Even if everyone else is greedy, it is impossible for Chen Shaofeng to be greedy." Deputy Director Gao said affirmatively. "Chen Shaofeng used to be a designer of the Planning and Design Institute. He has very strong professional ability. Many large-scale planning and design in Yongcheng were done by him. What's more, he also took many foreign orders and made a lot of money. He also knows how to invest. I am afraid that the money in the house is indispensable. Not to mention sending one daughter to study abroad, even sending three or five, he can afford it."

"Oh." Hearing Deputy Director Gao's words with certainty, Director Wang felt relieved. After thinking for a while, he said, "You should deal with this matter! Some people should give it a good beating, and don't let them because of one Selfishness dragged the entire planning bureau into trouble."

"Okay." Deputy Director Gao responded readily.

Everyone is a veteran in the officialdom, and they have seen and used various methods a lot. Whoever benefits from Chen Shaofeng's resignation is the rumor maker, so there is no need to ask anyone, just ask the deputy directors.

Jiang surnamed Deputy Director's Office.

Deputy Director Wu was sitting on the sofa with a teacup in his hand, looking at Deputy Director Jiang opposite with a calm face. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, he felt a little guilty, opened the lid of the teacup, took a sip of water, put down the cup, and asked uneasily: "Old Jiang, this matter is so big, will it cause trouble?"

Deputy Director Jiang glanced at him and sneered: "What trouble will there be? We didn't frame him? A government official is supposed to be supervised by the common people. If he has the money to send his daughter to study abroad, he cannot accept the doubts of the common people. ?”

"That's true." Deputy Director Wu heard the words and felt that it was true, so he nodded with deep sympathy: "Now everyone's eyes are bright? It's no use pretending to be upright. The common people know how to listen to their words and watch their actions." .”

"Haha, Old Wu is right." Deputy Director Jiang smiled triumphantly when he saw that Deputy Director Wu could figure it out by himself. "Doesn't he still want to climb up? First accept the test of the masses, and then see if it is Kong Fansen or Wang Baosen?"

"Where is there Kong Fanshen now?" Deputy Director Wu snorted, "The only difference is whether the hand is longer or shorter—"

"You?" Deputy Director Jiang pointed at him with a smile, and said, "Isn't that talking about yourself?"

"I'm not Kong Fansen either—what can I do? Is it just relying on this dead salary?" Deputy Director Wu didn't feel embarrassed at all, "We are all parents. Who doesn't want to provide a better environment for the old and young at home? ? As long as you don’t make big mistakes, you can’t be too serious about this matter.”

"Oh, the truth is right, but you can only think about it in your heart, you can't say it." The smile on Deputy Director Jiang's face gradually faded, "Your old Wu has higher education and qualifications than me. But you have been in this position without moving, and it is your mouth that suffers—"

"I understand." Deputy Director Wu put down his teacup, leaned his head on the back of the sofa, and let out a sigh of relief: "I've figured it out now, so I don't have any hope of getting promoted. I just want to be in this position. Work steadily until retirement, paving the way for the family, especially for the son."

"Oh, your son is 27 this year, isn't he still working there?" Deputy Director Jiang remembered Lao Wu's son, who was tall and energetic, but very introverted and shy. After arriving in the traffic police force, a child with such a personality would have a hard time, right?

"Yes! Still in the traffic police team." Deputy Director Wu nodded. "But next week, I will be transferred to the next police station as the deputy director."

"Oh, not bad." Upon hearing this, Deputy Chief Jiang said in admiration, "Start to move up, work as a deputy for a year or two, and transfer to a full-time job. That's a real job."

"That's right, it's all because of the help of my friends." Old Wu smiled happily when he heard him praise his son.

Tuk tuk - there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." The two people in the room immediately sat up straight, with serious expressions on their faces, and Deputy Director Jiang called out in a deep voice.

"Jiang Bureau, Deputy Director Gao of the Planning Bureau will come over later, and there will be a short meeting at that time. Director Chen will inform everyone to prepare." The person who came in was the clerk of the land use department, who had actually become the special responsibility of Deputy Director Jiang. Secretary, he said briefly.

"Understood, you can inform Secretary Wu's secretary, and tell Director Wu to know about it." Deputy Director Jiang nodded to show that he knew, gave another order, and waved to the secretary.

The secretary nodded, stepped out gently, and closed the door.

"It seems that the leaders above know about this, which is a good thing." Deputy Director Wu glanced at Deputy Director Jiang and said excitedly.

"Don't get too excited, it's Gao Ju who came, he likes that one the most, it's only useful if Wang Ju comes." Deputy Director Jiang poured cold water on him.

After Chen Shaofeng waited for them to leave, he sat behind the desk alone, meditating.

Although he comes from a technical background, and his understanding of officialdom is much younger than those officials, his IQ is not lower than others, and his EQ is not bad. Simple.

He has worked with Lao Jiang and Lao Wu for four years, and he knows the nature of the two.

Lao Jiang is the kind of character who doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle. If there is no real benefit to him, he will never lose face with himself at this time.And Lao Wu is that kind of old-fashioned official, he won't get too close to anyone, and he won't take the initiative to offend people, unless he wants to fight for his own interests, so he will spare it.

Could it be that someone above them is supporting and promising benefits, so they turned against themselves?Chen Shaofeng felt that the truth should not be far away.

So who is not pleasing to the eye?Want to kick yourself out?Chen Shaofeng eliminated them one by one.

At the beginning, I was able to sit in the right position, which was the result of the high-ranking bureau standing up to the crowd, so it couldn't be the high-ranking bureau. Wang Bureau had just been transferred, and there was no conflict of interest, and the possibility was very small. The other three deputy bureaucrats, I don't have much to do with myself, so I shouldn't have such deep resentment towards myself?

"What are you thinking about? Xiao Chen." The office door was left open, and a hearty voice sounded at the door.

"Gao Ju, is it you? Please sit inside." Gao Ju is a noble person in his life. When Chen Shaofeng saw him coming, he rushed to meet him, walked up to him, and greeted him warmly.

The two sat down on the sofa, Secretary Xiao Jin made tea and brought it up, then backed out.

"Are you worried about that?" After the secretary left, Gao Ju relaxed his whole body, leaned back casually, leaned on the sofa with his head in his hands, looked at Chen Shaofeng, and asked.

"Yes." Chen Shaofeng did not hide his emotions in front of the high-level situation like a mentor. "I was thinking about it just now. What did I do wrong? That's what caused the anger and resentment. Someone actually wanted to use such an extreme method to drive myself out of power."

"Speaking out of anger, aren't you?" Gao Ju patted Chen Shaofeng on the shoulder, pointing out with a smile. "Which leading cadre has not experienced such a battle? Do you think that being an official is a treat for dinner? You know that there are more than 60 department-level cadres in the country, and less than [-]% of them are promoted, and they can sit in high positions. Yes, which one didn't come here in a bloody storm—"

"I also understand these principles, but when it really happens to me, my mentality will be bad." Chen Shaofeng smiled embarrassedly.

Yes, he already understood these principles.If he was afraid, he should have stayed in the design institute to work on technology in the first place. The work was purer and the money would not be less.Entering an agency means dealing with the smartest people in the country, so naturally it will not be so easy.

"It's good that you understand," Gao Ju nodded. "However, this matter is really strange. I can basically confirm that no one from the Planning Bureau has shot you. Could it be that you offended someone in the city or province?"

"Impossible?" Chen Shaofeng was taken aback when he heard Gao Ju's words.

In the eyes of some people in Yongcheng, I am a department-level cadre with a background in technology. He usually acts low-key and basically does not participate in entertainment, so there are relatively few conflicts with others.

"This is just my guess, and you don't have to worry too much about it, just do things well." Gao Ju didn't want to talk too much on this topic, "Let's have a meeting later, I'll knock on the deputy, If they still want to stay in this position, I believe they will restrain themselves."

"Thank you, Gao Ju." Seeing that Gao Ju still supported him unconditionally, Chen Shaofeng said gratefully.

After Zhao Mingkang returned to the capital, he went to the old man's place and reported in detail his visit to Xia's house.

Hearing that Xia's father and Xia's mother refused, the old man was a little surprised. He didn't expect this ordinary rural couple to resist the temptation to marry the Zhao family.

"Second brother, you were there at the time, what do you think of this matter?" The old man couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he asked his son.

"I don't have anything to worry about." Zhao Mingkang thought for a while, and said, "The relationship between Xiao Xia and Xiao Si seems to be a sweet one, and there shouldn't be any problems between the two. Maybe the couple felt that the relationship between the two of them relationship, so I still can’t turn around in my heart.”

"Oh, I was negligent." The old man nodded, "In the countryside, two men are husband and wife, this kind of thing is more difficult to be accepted, especially Xiaoxia's parents, who have been living in the countryside, must have very traditional ideas .”

"Yeah, so we have to give them time." Zhao Mingkang said, "But he has a brother-in-law who is eager to join the Zhao family. I asked Zedong to talk to him and asked him to arrange a good one for him as soon as possible." The location, the hearts of An Anxia's family."

"Well, this arrangement is correct. As long as the relationship between the Xia family and the Zhao family is getting closer, it will be easier for Xiao Xia's parents to accept this fact." The old man said approvingly.

"Yes, I think so too." Zhao Mingkang changed the subject: "Dad, I found out that Duan Wei and Xiao Xia also have a very good relationship. Duan Wei's son even worshiped Xiao Xia as his teacher."

"What?" The old man stood up and asked in surprise.

"I heard that Duan Wei's son was terminally ill. Duan Wei's wife begged Xiao Xia. Xiao Xia said at the time that he couldn't save him. Under their repeated pleading, she agreed to accept him as a disciple and teach him the secrets of the master. Only then did he save the child, and now he looks like an ordinary child."

"Oh?" The old man's face changed when he heard it. "From this point of view, Xiaoxia's school is by no means simple—"

"That's right, that's why I decided to open a professional cooperative of agricultural products in his village after Xiaoxia said his plan for next year, and underwrite the products they can't sell." Zhao Mingkang continued: "I think there is this connection, our two families Only then did I have an excuse to see each other often, and I even hinted to Xiao Si that when Xiao Xia’s farmhouse is opened, I will let you go there for the elderly—”

"Your decision is very good." The old man nodded: "This little Xia is more important than I imagined, we must do whatever it takes to build a good relationship with him."

If you can retire in Xiajiazhuang?With Xiao Xia's help, it is possible for him to live another 30 or [-] years.Thinking of this, the old man's heart became eager.

The old man is getting old, although because of his open-minded personality, he has taken life and death lightly, but who doesn't want to live a few more years and live a healthy life.

What's more, I can't leave now. Before my son climbs to the top and no one in the younger generation can support the Zhao family, I have to live well, so that I can protect the Zhao family and maintain the current momentum.

"En." Zhao Mingkang replied. "After Xiaoxia's family has finished building a house, the weather will be warmer. I want to take my children there again. It would be best if some of my grandchildren can worship under Xiaoxia's family."

"Yes, yes." The old man was a little excited by what his son said today, and lost his former composure.

"By the way, Dad." Zhao Mingkang suddenly thought of a question. "Since Duan Wei has such a relationship with Xiao Xia, should we win him over?"

"This——" the old man thought for a while, then shook his head: "I know Duan Wei, he has good abilities, and many people at the top are optimistic about him. If there is no accident, after the new term next year, he will be the candidate for the secretary of the provincial party committee. It's a bit late to win over, but you can move around more, like the Li family, and become a big help."

"Oh, I see." Zhao Mingkang felt that what his father said was reasonable. "Xiao Xia and Duan's family often walk around, I will ask Xiao Si to go together every time, so as to get closer."

"Well, that's good." The old man nodded. "Associating with someone like Duan Wei, it's ugly to be too eager. Xiaosi walks around like this, but it's easy to establish a close relationship. I believe Duan Wei is also willing to see such a result. After all, with friends like the Zhao family, for him , and there is no harm at all.”

※※※

After returning home, Duan Wei took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to his wife.

Mrs. Duan took it casually, opened it, and saw that it was the equity gift agreement she had given to Xia Jiusheng, and looked at her husband suspiciously.

"Xiao Xia refuses to accept it." Duan Wei smiled wryly. "He said that if he had to give it, he would end the master-student relationship with Ah Fu."

"Oh, this really looks like his temperament." Mrs. Duan also sighed when she heard this, and threw the red envelope on the table.

"Maybe we did it in the wrong way." Duan Wei said distressedly, "Xiao Xia is not an ordinary person. If he wants to make money, he should also want to make it himself."

"I understand this. The question is, what else do we have, exactly what he needs?" Mrs. Duan seemed to be asking Duan Wei, but also seemed to be talking to herself.

"He plans to contract the land to be the owner of the farm, maybe we can help him in this regard." Duan Wei got an idea when his wife reminded him. "Don't you have a relative who is the president of the Bank of China in Yucheng City? Xiaoxia wants to build the farm he wants, and he definitely doesn't have enough money. You can loan him some money then—"

"That's easy." Mrs. Duan nodded. "Isn't Lao Nie going to help? At that time, I will find some capable people and ask him to take Xiao Xia to help. Although Xiao Xia has Zhao Zezhong now, there must not be enough professionals."

"Well, this is a good way." Duan Wei felt that his wife was more thoughtful. "But you have to prepare quickly. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Lao Nie may go to Xiajiazhuang. He plans to prepare the plan before the year and start work after the year."

"It's okay, I'll arrange it right now." Mrs. Duan cheered up, and immediately took out her mobile phone to arrange staff.

Duan Wei called Nie Hongjun and told him to come here before Xia Jiusheng's house and discuss something with him.

Nie Hongjun agreed.

※※※

Coming out of the conference room, Deputy Director Jiang's face was very ugly.

He didn't expect that Deputy Director Gao would be so defensive and beat him up without asking any questions, which made him feel ashamed.

It seems that my judgment is correct, and the higher-ups asked Deputy Director Gao to come down, which is tantamount to showing their attitude.They believed that Chen Shaofeng was not corrupt. Not only would they not pursue this matter, but they assumed the attitude of pursuing the responsibility of the rumor-monger and rehabilitating him.

what to do?Back in his office, he was in trouble.

Although he had conflicts with Chen Chu, it was never to the point of embarrassment. He dared to do this because someone from above found him.

After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and pressed a group of numbers.

"Hi, Jiang Chu, do you have any good news?" A male voice asked with a smile.

"Sorry, Dong Ke, I didn't bring you good news." Deputy Director Jiang was still very polite to a young man who was not as good as himself. "The leader of the Planning Bureau, who was in charge of us just now, came to us for a meeting, expressed his support, and beat him a lot. I'm afraid I have to stop."

"Oh." Dong Ke exclaimed in surprise. "I didn't expect your higher-ups to be so defensive, and they wanted to cover up before checking."

"I can't help it." Deputy Director Jiang sighed, "Even if the officials promoted by themselves are bad, they must be protected. Otherwise, doesn't it mean that they are blind?"

"It's no wonder." Dong Ke said understandingly: "Is your full-time leader also with this attitude?"

"It should be." Deputy Director Jiang said uncertainly: "Director Wang has just been transferred here, and he is not very familiar with the people in the department. This matter must be handed over to the deputy director in charge."

"Then I understand." Dong Ke didn't bother. "This matter is troublesome to you. I will do what I promise you."

"Thank you, Dong Ke." Deputy Director Jiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said, and said gratefully.

After making the phone call, Deputy Director Jiang frowned and walked to the window. At some point, there was a strong wind outside, and the whistling sound of the wind came in through the crack of the door. Also cold up.

Deputy Director Jiang gathered his clothes, returned to the desk, picked up the thermos cup, and took a sip of hot tea.

Although this matter has ended for the time being, there will definitely be sequelae when getting along with Chen Shaofeng in the future.

Alas, there is no way, I am nearly fifty years old, and there are not many opportunities for promotion. If I don't try again, I will retire in this position, so even if I make a mistake, there is no need to regret it.Deputy Director Jiang comforted himself like this.

※※※

After Deputy Chief Gao made a beating, those who spread rumors in the complex fell silent all of a sudden.

No one really doesn't care about their work, and no one wants to lose their jobs because they can't control their mouths, so those who spread the word shut up all of a sudden.

Xiao Jin came to the leader's office excitedly and reported the latest situation to Chen Shaofeng.

"I see." Hearing that all the rumors disappeared all at once, Chen Shaofeng was not very excited.

This was forced down by the high bureau, and it was not resolved by itself.Chen Shaofeng thought depressingly.He used to think that he had mastered the comprehensive site, but now it seems that he is optimistic.

He began to reflect on his leadership ability. Perhaps, as Zhao Zedong said, he hadn't been honed at the grassroots level.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone, told Zhao Zedong about the matter, and listened to his opinion.

Zhao Zezhong was also a little surprised. The Zhao family had recently been helping Chen Shaofeng run a county-level city mayor, and the higher-ups were about to send people to investigate. He didn't expect to encounter this strange thing.

As long as Chen Shaofeng stands upright, he doesn't worry about the impact of this matter.After thinking about it, he persuaded: "This kind of thing is inevitable for any department. You have plans to leave now, so there is no need to argue with them."

"Yes." Chen Shaofeng thought for a while and calmed down.

Yes, after leaving here, I have to adapt to a new job.The comprehensive land use is actually related to planning and design. The majors he studied before can still be used, but at the grassroots level, everything has to start from scratch.
