Chapter 1734

"Secretary Zhao, I received an anonymous tip-off call saying that there was gathering for gambling in room 5888 of the Jianguo Hotel, so I led the team here. How was I supposed to know it was Secretary Jin and the others? Besides, even if it is Secretary Jin, gathering for gambling still means being taken back for detention!" He Yuping argued righteously.

"He Yuping, you really have eyes but don't recognize Mount Tai. Secretary Jin is our Provincial Party Secretary. Have you eaten the heart of a bear or a leopard? You even dare to arrest Secretary Jin and the others. Do you not want to work anymore? While things haven't blown up yet, hurry up and say a few nice words to Secretary Jin and the others, apologize, and then immediately withdraw your team and leave with the people from your bureau!" Secretary Zhao persuaded him earnestly to avoid blowing things up.

"Secretary Zhao, you should know my character. Any illegal or disciplinary problems I discover will never be tolerated, no matter who it is. Anyone who disrupts social order must be punished as they deserve!" He Yuping didn't listen to Secretary Zhao's advice at all and said righteously.

Secretary Zhao was pacing back and forth in the room, anxious and distressed, and hurriedly criticized him: "He Yuping, do... do you know that doing this will make me, the Municipal Party Secretary, look very bad? I will lose face, and it is very likely that I will lose this official hat of mine! And you, He Yuping, you are still young, you have drive and energy. Such an upright police officer as you is meant for handling big cases, not for dealing with these small matters of gathering to play mahjong! Besides, Secretary Jin and the others were just drinking and playing mahjong for entertainment. Why can't you distinguish the occasion!"

"Secretary Zhao, how is this entertainment? It is clearly gathering for high-stakes gambling. There is tens of thousands of yuan in cash on the table. Can this be called entertainment!" He Yuping said based on facts.

Secretary Zhao was truly angered by He Yuping. After saying a lot without any result, he roared sternly at the phone: "He Yuping, if you don't hurry up and leave with your people tonight, don't come to work tomorrow. I will dismiss you tomorrow!" After saying this, Secretary Zhao sighed in anger, then softened his tone and persuaded him earnestly: "You have to use your brain when doing things. You have to distinguish the situation; you can't be so stubborn. You have to know that Secretary Jin is the top leader of our Hexi Province. If you offend him, none of us will have a good ending. Also, do you think you look majestic by taking Secretary Jin back? Even if you take him back, your Director Li will release him immediately. I really haven't seen anyone as bold as you, daring to touch the head of Tai Sui. Just pretend nothing happened today. Hurry up and apologize to Secretary Jin and the others, then withdraw your team and leave. I will go find Secretary Jin immediately, do you hear me! If you are still so stubborn tonight, you will cause a great disaster!"

"But Secretary Zhao..."

"There are no 'buts', apologize to Secretary Jin immediately, and then get out!" Secretary Zhao roared in a fit of rage.

"Sigh!" He Yuping sighed heavily, said nothing more, and hung up the phone directly. He was so angry that his face turned blue. He returned to the room with a livid face, said nothing, walked up, threw the phone on the mahjong table, and roared: "Withdraw the team!" He walked out of the room with extreme dissatisfaction, and the others hurried to follow him out.

As soon as He Yuping's people left, Secretary Jin's face turned livid, his eyes flashed with fire, and he slammed the table hard, making the whole room buzz. He roared uncontrollably: "Truly bold, raiding a gambling den and raiding it on my head!"

Seeing Secretary Jin's rage, Deputy Secretary Zhou comforted him with a smile: "Secretary Jin, don't lower yourself to the level of those small characters. He was so tough, but in the end, didn't he still get out? Come, have a cigarette, Secretary Jin." As he spoke, Deputy Secretary Zhou walked up, bowed, and handed over a 'He Tianxia' (produced by Hunan China Tobacco, retail price 168 per box).

Secretary Jin took the cigarette with a livid face. Just as he put it in his mouth, Li Changping, sharp-eyed and quick-handed, lit his lighter and handed it over. Secretary Jin lit the cigarette, took a puff, and said angrily: "We were having such a pleasant time tonight, this is truly fucking disappointing!"

"Secretary Jin, please don't be angry. That Captain He has eyes but doesn't recognize Mount Tai. I guess he didn't recognize Secretary Jin. Didn't he still obediently get out later?" Deputy Secretary Zhou sat next to Secretary Jin and persuaded him with a smile.

Secretary Jin took a fierce drag of his cigarette, narrowed his eyes, and said with a gloomy face, gnashing his teeth: "That guy truly has guts, not even putting members of our Provincial Party Committee leadership team in his eyes. He has truly eaten the heart of a bear or a leopard!"

"Secretary Jin, please don't be angry. Don't lower yourself to the level of those small characters. He isn't even qualified to ruin your mood, Secretary Jin," another member of the leadership team flattered him.

Secretary Jin took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes full of cold light. He said nothing, lowered his head, and picked up his teacup. Just as he lifted the lid, he frowned and put the teacup back on the table. Seeing this, Li Changping hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the teacup, went to the side to pick up a thermos, filled it with water, and then handed it over with both hands, saying with a fawning smile: "Secretary Jin, have some water." He placed the teacup in front of him.

Secretary Jin picked up the teacup, lifted the lid, took a small sip of tea, smacked his lips, and said angrily: "My good mood tonight was completely ruined by that unreasonable guy. Truly fucking disappointing! I really don't know how Secretary Zhao is disciplining them!"

"As far as I know, that He Yuping was specially dug up from Baoping City by Secretary Zhao for Xijing City's civilized city creation. But I have to say, that guy's work ability is truly outstanding," said another Provincial Party Deputy Secretary. This deputy secretary had a closer relationship with Municipal Party Secretary Zhao in private, so he also put in a good word for He Yuping.

As a result, Deputy Secretary Zhou glared at him and said: "No matter how strong the work ability is, one must distinguish the occasion. Not even giving face to Secretary Jin, he is too

unreasonable!"

Li Changping apologized with a fawning smile: "I'm truly sorry for tonight. I originally wanted to accompany Secretary Jin and the leaders to play mahjong for entertainment, but I didn't expect to run into such a disappointing thing, affecting the good mood of Secretary Jin and the leaders. I'm truly sorry, and I hope the leaders won't take it to heart."

"Changping, this has nothing to do with you," Secretary Jin said, turning his head to him. Then he looked at the gambling funds on the table and said to everyone: "Everyone pack up your money and go back to rest. I'm in no mood to continue playing!" As he said this, he picked up the tens of thousands of yuan he had won and stuffed it into his bag.

Seeing this, the others did the same. Li Changping, fearing that this disappointing event tonight would make Secretary Jin and the others feel unhappy and affect their evaluation of him, said with a fawning smile: "Secretary Jin, leaders, my organization was truly inadequate tonight. I hope there will be another opportunity to play mahjong for entertainment with Secretary Jin and the Deputy Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission next time."

"Changping, perform well recently and be steady. Your matter will have a clue soon. The Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission is currently reporting the investigation results of Deputy Secretary Yang to the Central Discipline Inspection Commission. Also, you leaders must pay attention to your own words and deeds at all times. You cannot commit any offenses at this time. No one can talk about what happened tonight! If it gets out, it will bring trouble to our Provincial Party Committee." Secretary Jin said while smoking, looking around at everyone with a stern expression, and instructed them very seriously. ===== CHAPTER 1735 =====
