Rebirth of Corrupt Officials - Chapter 67

After pressing the document, Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Forget it, call me when we get there. I’m a little sleepy now. Let me take a rest.”

The driver automatically slowed down a little. Wei Lai didn’t say anything but woke up Jiang Xiaochuan when he arrived.

Not long after they arrived at the municipal government, the provincial inspection team came down.

In fact, everyone was in the same urban area, but it was equivalent to visiting each other, and the distance was very close.

But provinces and cities were two administrative units with different levels, and the service departments were not close to each other.

Jiang Xiaochuan forced down the negative emotions surging in his heart, accepted Qu Zhendong’s comfort and persuasion, and then started talking about work.

The focus of Qu Zhendong’s conversation was on Chengzhou’s anti-crime campaign: “Our provincial team has already studied the report you issued in Chengzhou. It can be said that your original intention is worthy of recognition, and so are your achievements in the anti-crime work. Unprecedentedly, this spirit of cracking down on all illegal crimes must be promoted throughout the province and let relevant departments learn from it. The underworld forces in Chengzhou are too rampant and it is impossible not to kill them.”

This was a typical example of “suppress first and then kill them.” Leaders all loved this kind of talk. Jiang Xiaochuan himself was tired of it, but he still had to patiently listen. Anyone who had been around for a while knew the leader always praised people first, regardless of what the situation. Then with just two words “but” behind it, everything turned around.

Furthermore, Jiang Xiaochuan now knew who Qu Zhendong was, so he probably knew what he would say.

He was fully mentally prepared for Qu Zhendong’s next turn.

“Everything has good intentions. Chengzhou City has always been the leader in the province in terms of economic construction. Although there are big mistakes in the first half of the year, you are still the benchmark in the general direction. However, this anti-gang operation impact is too big. Many people expressed panic. They hope to have a relatively stable social environment. The campaign against gangs is too much, and putting some things on the table like this is very harmful to our Chengzhou and even the entire Sichuan. To protect the image of the province, should we ignore certain things in order to maintain our image? Should we try our best to cover up the corruption of some officials just to protect our image? In order to maintain their image, should we force government departments to abandon their duties and force them to malfeasance? This world is really broken.”

Jiang Xiaochuan was speechless, but it was just because he felt it was ironic.

“I know that Comrade Jiang Xiaochuan is a very dedicated mayor and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, but we need to maintain a certain lane when doing things. You cannot exceed this lane. Just like a normal body temperature becomes a high fever once it rises a little, We in Chengzhou must also be cautious in our actions. The situation across the country is unstable now. There are some abnormal situations in Tibet and Xinjiang. Our Chengzhou is close with them. If something happens, it will be bad. In the end, the stability of Chengzhou is still the most important thing. I’d like to give you a piece of advice. Let’s take it easy. “

Was this could be called advice?

Jiang Xiaochuan knew that Qu Zhendong was able to be so kind to him because of the presence of the inspection team, and Qu Zhendong probably doubted himself now. But he also understood that as long as he kept refuting Qu Zhendong’s opinions, what awaited him would be Qu Zhendong’s commanding tone.

He had already anticipated this and followed the plot according to the rhetoric he had prepared in advance.

“This operation actually exceeded my imagination. You may not believe it when I tell you. I didn’t expect it to be such a big fuss. I don’t know why the military area got involved. I can hardly control this matter now. I will ask them to stop completely after tomorrow’s operation because the military region has not let go in the past few days. You know that the underworld fight in the first half of the year is really frightening to those of us who have dealt with it. Don’t worry about the overall situation in Chengzhou. It’s not that I didn’t see it, it just takes time to process.”

Qu Zhendong didn’t expect that Jiang Xiaochuan was such a good person and was so confident that he couldn’t say anything.

Later, the two of them just followed the work flow and mentioned the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection Team from time to time, but it was nothing important.

Before leaving, when there was no one else around. Qu Zhendong patted Jiang Xiaochuan on the shoulder and persuaded: “Xiao Jiang, you are a capable person, you have to do it right. Don’t work in a dull manner, you must know how to raise your head and look ahead. It depends on the market. You are familiar with Rong Family’s Club. Let’s have a private party there. You can come and talk about things. It’s time for you to step into this circle.”

Jiang Xiaochuan thought and agreed. He came down and showed a sudden enlightenment and excitement. Seeing his expression, most of the doubts in Qu Zhendong’s heart were taken away. He knew for a long time that many people reported Jiang Xiaochuan. Jiang Xiaochuan was not a clean person. As long as he had desires, there was nothing wrong with him.

Qu Zhendong suddenly felt that the troublesome Jiang Xiaochuan was not so troublesome anymore.

After sending Qu Zhendong away, Jiang Xiaochuan sat down and pressed his forehead, asking Wei Lai to pour tea.

Tonight? At the Rong Family’s Club…

This was complicity.
