Chapter 1735: No Mood to Continue

"Secretary Jin, I understand."

"Secretary Jin, don't worry, I definitely won't talk nonsense."

Secretary Jin's mood was affected, and his tense face never softened. After finishing this cigarette, he looked at the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist and saw it was past 12:00. He said: "It's getting late, and I'm in no mood to play. Everyone go back and rest!" As he said this, he looked at his watch again, suddenly remembered something, raised his head, and reminded them with a stern expression: "Because photos of Deputy Secretary Yang wearing several watches were posted online, it caused such great questioning. You are all leaders, so try to pay attention to the details of your daily life." As he said this, he pointed to Deputy Secretary Zhou's waist.

Deputy Secretary Zhou didn't react for a moment, thinking his pants weren't worn properly or there was something dirty on them. He looked down at his pants carefully, raised his head, and said to Secretary Jin with a chuckle, not knowing what was going on: "Secretary Jin, I know, I will control my own belt."

Secretary Jin glared at Deputy Secretary Zhou with a strange look, pointed to the Hermes belt around his waist, and said: "Your belt! Be low-key! You are all the same. Recently, netizens' eyes have been fixed on the leaders of our Hexi Province. Maybe one day you will become the next Yang Yongping. Pay attention to your lifestyle and work style; don't be too flashy! Including me, I don't plan to wear this watch tomorrow either."

Everyone nodded and said yes repeatedly. Li Changping secretly looked at the watch on his wrist. Although it wasn't as valuable as Secretary Jin's Patek Philippe, it was also worth a lot, so he quietly took it off his wrist and stuffed it into his pants pocket.

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone go back and rest. What kind of playing is this? I'm truly in no mood at all!" Thinking of He Yuping coming over to cause such a scene just now, Secretary Jin felt particularly angry. As he said this, he kicked the chair and prepared to leave.

Just then, someone knocked on the door again.

Hearing the knocking, after what had just happened, everyone turned their eyes to the door in unison. Secretary Jin raised his voice and asked sternly: "Who is it!"

"It's me, Old Zhao," came the subservient response from Secretary Zhao of the Xijing Municipal Party Committee outside. After receiving the call from Li Changping, although he had persuaded He Yuping to leave, Secretary Zhao couldn't sleep peacefully no matter what. He paced back and forth in his room, feeling that if he didn't come to apologize in person, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to keep his position as Municipal Party Secretary. So, in the middle of the night, he got dressed, went downstairs, and drove directly to the Jianguo Hotel.

Hearing that the visitor was Secretary Zhao, Secretary Jin raised his chin toward Li Changping, signaling him to open the door.

Li Changping nodded, hurriedly walked up, and put on a stern face when opening the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Secretary Zhao standing at the door, looking nervous and uneasy.

"Come in, Secretary Jin is inside!" Li Changping gave a foul look to the uneasy Secretary Zhao, then turned and walked in.

Although Secretary Zhao knew clearly that this time was ominous, if he didn't come to apologize in person in time, even if what happened tonight had nothing to do with him, He Yuping was a person he had promoted from Baoping City, so he definitely wouldn't be able to escape responsibility. Seeing Li Changping's expression, Secretary Zhao felt even more uneasy. He forced a smile and walked into the room in fear and trepidation.

As soon as he walked into the room, Secretary Zhao saw Secretary Jin, Deputy Secretary Zhou, and other Provincial Party Committee leaders all looking at him with angry faces, as if they held a deep grudge. Secretary Zhao's already uneasy heart accelerated its beating even more. He even walked up tremblingly and greeted the leaders one by one with a fawning smile.

Secretary Jin took a sip of tea, glared at him fiercely, and finally spoke. His tone was extremely angry: "Secretary Zhao, your subordinates are truly bold! Raiding a gambling den and raiding it on us, several Provincial Party Committee leaders!"

Secretary Zhao immediately nodded and bowed with a fawning smile, explaining and apologizing: "Secretary Jin, I... I only knew about it after Vice Minister Li called me. That He Yuping is too unappreciative; he truly has eyes but doesn't recognize Mount Tai. Offending you, Secretary Jin, I have already criticized him over the phone. I will teach him a good lesson when I go to the unit tomorrow. He is too unappreciative!"

"Secretary Zhao, if you hadn't come tonight, maybe I would have really talked to you tomorrow! I truly didn't expect that a mere captain of the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Police Team would have the guts to speak to us in that tone. Is it because you, Secretary Zhao, are usually too lax in your discipline?" Secretary Jin questioned him with a very serious look, staring at Secretary Zhao, who was already sweating on his nose from fear. ===== CHAPTER 1736 =====
