Chapter 1209

Zhao Desan naturally couldn't say he was here to deposit money. After all, his salary was deposited into his card on time every month. Depositing money meant he had gray income. How could he let him know he had gray income? So he used a vague remark like "Handling some business" to brush it off.

He Liping was afraid Old Zheng would ask Zhao Desan too much, so while Old Zheng wasn't paying attention, she secretly winked at Zhao Desan. Zhao Desan knowingly chuckled at Old Zheng and He Liping and said, "Alright, Director Zheng, Deputy Director He, you two go ahead, I'll go back to the unit first." As he spoke, he walked out of the bank.

Coming out of the bank, Zhao Desan felt a bit strange. Didn't He Liping just get tens of thousands of yuan from Ma Debang's "relics"? Why didn't she deposit money but instead went to withdraw money? After walking out of the bank, in order to get to the bottom of it, Zhao Desan didn't go directly back to the unit but hid behind a thick plane tree in front of the bank. Coupled with the people coming and going on the street, he used it as cover and stared straight at the bank door. After a while, he saw Old Zheng and He Liping walk out one after another. Perhaps afraid of being seen by acquaintances, the two deliberately kept a distance of more than a meter, each holding a bulging leather bag. It seemed they had withdrawn a lot of money from the bank.

Because the distance was too close, coupled with Zhao Desan's sharp ears, he heard Old Zheng instructing He Liping before getting into the car, "We are going to send money today, don't forget, don't play cards, Deputy Minister Li doesn't like it."

Seeing that Old Zheng, a dignified head of a provincial-level agency, was actually so afraid of the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department, He Liping said somewhat puzzled, "Old Zheng, you are also the head of a provincial-level agency, why are you so in awe of Deputy Minister Li?"

Old Zheng laughed, "Liping, you have been in officialdom for so many years, don't you know that our future and destiny are all in the hands of the leaders of the Organization Department? Don't look at the fact that I also went to Director Zhu of the Personnel Department to transfer you up. In fact, according to regulations, the Personnel Department has no right to appoint cadres above the section level. But the relationship between the Personnel Department and the Organization Department is like brothers. Director Zhu and I are peers. Logically, I don't need to be so servile when I see him. But I'm asking people to do things, so I want to get to know him, so that I can get closer to Deputy Minister Li."

After hearing Old Zheng's words, He Liping felt from the bottom of her heart that this old guy's scheming was really not simple. In order to achieve his goal, he was willing to submit to a peer leader. This also made He Liping make up her mind. If she wanted to be the head, she must not always be this old guy's puppet and bed plaything. She must also be ruthless, unscrupulous, and good at using schemes.

Zhao Desan, hiding behind the plane tree, after hearing the conversation between Old Zheng and He Liping, not only understood the purpose of their coming to the bank to withdraw money today but also further understood the question he had been unable to answer in his heart: as the head of a provincial-level agency, why was he willing to be servile to the person surnamed Zhu of the Provincial Personnel Department of the same level?

Watching Old Zheng and He Liping drive away slowly, Zhao Desan came out from behind the tree, rubbed his waist, which was sore from crouching and hiding, and suddenly realized the whole thing about Ma Debang being transferred away. However, Zhao Desan still didn't quite understand. Even if Old Zheng wanted to transfer Ma Debang away, it would be enough to build a good relationship with Li Changping of the Organization Department. According to what he knew, the appointment of cadres above the section level was no longer within the management authority of the Personnel Department. Why did Old Zheng still get so close to the person surnamed Zhu of the Personnel Department? On the way back, he had been racking his brains to think about this question, but he had never figured out why. Little did he know that after Old Zheng learned that the province intended to adjust the organizational structure of the Provincial Construction Commission and proposed to add a deputy director of the Planning Division in charge of the development and construction of the Baxin District, he began to closely contact the person surnamed Zhu of the Personnel Department, with the goal of successfully promoting his daughter to the position of deputy division chief, and this appointment power fell within the scope of the Provincial Personnel Department's power.

In the unfathomable officialdom, various complex relationships are not as strictly graded as the responsibilities stipulated in organizational documents. Because there will be intersections in work between some agency units, they will restrict each other, which leads to a strange phenomenon: clearly the same department-level cadre or deputy department-level cadre, the level division is the same, but because of the restrictive relationship between different functions, one party may be in awe of the other. Zheng Liangyu, as the director of the Hexi Provincial Construction Commission, and Li Changping, the deputy minister of the Organization Department of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee, are undoubtedly this kind of relationship. Because of the special power of the Organization Department, Zheng Liangyu's performance in front of Li Changping is more like a subordinate: humble, lowly, nodding and bowing, servile.

When he returned to the office from the bank outside, it was only five past one, and there was nearly an hour before work. The whole office building was as quiet as if it were asleep. After Zhao Desan sat in his chair, he was still thinking about why Old Zheng would take the initiative to get close to the head surnamed Zhu of the Personnel Department. In the matter of Ma Debang's transfer, the Personnel Department had no right to intervene at all!

On the way to the suite opened by Li Changping at the Junyue Hotel with He Liping, because he was afraid that there would not be enough people, Old Zheng specially called Lin Dafa and invited him to come and accompany Deputy Minister Li to play cards. When he and He Liping arrived at the Junyue Hotel and parked the car, they saw Lin Dafa already waiting at the hotel entrance with a beautiful little secretary.

Seeing Old Zheng and He Liping get off the car one after another, Lin Dafa smiled and greeted them with his little secretary, saying, "Director Zheng is here." At the same time, he smiled and signaled to He Liping, thinking in his heart which woman this charming young woman was that Old Zheng had gotten.

Men's eyes are always easily attracted by beauties. Old Zheng, an old lecher who is old but not young at heart, saw the charming little secretary brought by Lin Dafa, especially the little secretary in professional attire, and his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Old Lin, you came quite fast. This beauty wouldn't be..." As he spoke, he winked at Lin Dafa with a strange smile.

The little beauty in professional attire immediately lowered her head shyly when she saw Old Zheng's winking and malicious appearance.

Lin Dafa acted nonchalantly and laughed, "My secretary, Xiao Li, why don't you say hello to Director Zheng!"

Prompted by her boss, the charming little secretary smiled and said somewhat shyly, "Hello, Director Zheng."

"Good, good." Old Zheng smiled somewhat carried away. He Liping, who was on the side, saw his lecherous appearance and deliberately coughed twice. Old Zheng then remembered that he had his lover He Liping with him, so he restrained this lecherous expression and smiled, "Old Lin, let me introduce you. This is our unit's deputy director, Deputy Director He Liping. Liping, this is our Xijing Lin's Construction Company's Boss Lin. He has been doing coal business for twenty years, a big boss."

"Deputy Director He, hello, hello." Lin Dafa then understood that this charming mature woman in her thirties with a graceful figure and charming appearance was actually the deputy director of the Provincial Construction Commission. He immediately reached out his hand respectfully to say hello.

He Liping also reached out and smiled, "Hello, Boss Lin."

After shaking hands, Old Zheng said, "Then let's go in. I guess Deputy Minister Li has been waiting anxiously inside."

"Xiao Li, give the things to Director Zheng and Deputy Director He." Lin Dafa said to the charming little secretary beside him.

The little secretary took two thick stacks of money from her black leather bag and handed them to Old Zheng and He Liping.

Old Zheng was stunned for a moment and laughed, "Old Lin, what are you doing? I just asked you to come and accompany Deputy Minister Li to play mahjong. Look at you."

Lin Dafa said, "I can't let you and Deputy Director He spend your own money. Take it, it should be enough for playing mahjong today."
