Chapter 1736

"Secretary Jin, you have completely misunderstood. This was He Yuping and the others' own action. I... I didn't know at all. If I had known, how would I have dared to let them come? I will definitely teach him a good lesson when I go down, and make him apologize to the leaders in person. Secretary Jin, I hope you will calm your anger. You are a great person who doesn't remember the faults of small people," Secretary Zhao said with a very nervous expression. His face was already sallow, and beads of sweat seeped from his forehead. It could be seen that his mood at this moment was extremely flustered.

Li Changping continued: "Secretary Zhao, tonight several leaders had a meal and finally had some time to get together to talk about the province's work while entertaining themselves. I didn't expect that He Yuping to be so bold. Rushing in is one thing; as the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. But after knowing the identities of Secretary Jin and Deputy Secretary Zhou, he still dared to speak rudely to the leaders. He is truly too unappreciative. A mere captain of the Criminal Police Team actually dared to use that attitude toward our Secretary Jin. You must educate him well!"

Secretary Zhao nodded and bowed with a fawning smile: "Yes, yes, Secretary Jin, I will definitely talk to He Yuping when I go down and teach him a good lesson. I will definitely make him realize the seriousness of his mistake."

Secretary Jin was an old hand in the field. He also wanted to blame Secretary Zhao blindly. After all, He Yuping's reckless behavior had nothing to do with him. After expressing his emotions, the old guy also knew how to use both soft and hard tactics, so he softened his tone and said to Secretary Zhao: "Secretary Zhao, I and the leaders don't have any prejudice against you, but after you go down, you must educate that Captain He well. Think about it, so many things have happened in the province recently, and the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee are busy and exhausted every day, having to deal with and handle many things. Their work mood is a bit volatile, and that's why they organized everyone to have a meal together tonight, and then used entertainment to relieve the pressure on the leaders. As a result, your Municipal Bureau's Criminal Police Team captain led a team to raid the gambling den. If this matter spreads, how much of a stir will it cause again, right, Secretary Zhao?"

Secretary Zhao nodded and bowed with a fawning smile: "Yes, yes, Secretary Jin, what you said is right. I will definitely criticize and educate him well when I go down."

Secretary Jin had long heard of He Yuping's name. Through the contact just now, he knew that this guy was someone who ate soft but not hard. He was afraid that if he put too much pressure on Secretary Zhao, it would provoke He Yuping, and he would definitely make a scene. As the Provincial Party Secretary, once the fact that he led the Provincial Party Committee leadership team to play mahjong together was spread, how much of a storm would it stir up, and how serious the consequences would be—Secretary Jin knew this clearly. Therefore, at this time, he appeared earnest and spoke to Secretary Zhao: "Secretary Zhao, don't condemn He Yuping too much. From the perspective of work attitude, Captain He is indeed a very serious and responsible person. This is a very good advantage, but tonight he was a bit unable to see the situation clearly. You just need to make your point when you go down and let him realize the seriousness of his mistake. Don't criticize him too much, understand?"

Secretary Jin finally said a relaxed word. Seeing that his attitude had softened a lot compared to just now, Secretary Zhao's nervous and uneasy mood also relaxed a little. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Understand, understand, Secretary Jin, I understand."

The atmosphere finally eased. Secretary Jin picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, smacking his lips. Li Changping immediately realized that the tea was cold, so he hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the teacup, and said with a fawning smile: "Secretary Jin, I'll add some water for you."

"No need, let's go. Let's just consider tonight a little entertainment. I'm in no mood to continue playing." As he said this, he glanced at Secretary Zhao, then stood up and walked out.

As soon as Secretary Zhao saw Secretary Jin's condemning look, he immediately lowered his head, wishing he could drag He Yuping over to apologize to the big shots in person.

Li Changping was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the leaders were all leaving, he immediately put down the teacup, picked up his bag, and followed the leaders out.

After coming out of the Jianguo Hotel, Li Changping and Secretary Zhao sent the big shots into their cars one by one, waved their hands to show respect, and bowed and scraped to send them away. Then Li Changping turned his head, put on airs, and blamed Secretary Zhao: "Secretary Zhao, your people were too unappreciative today. Secretary Jin is our dignified Provincial Party Secretary, and Deputy Secretary Zhou and the others are all members of the Provincial Party Committee leadership team. Tell me, how come that He Yuping of your Municipal Bureau couldn't see the situation clearly? If I hadn't called you, he would have really

taken Secretary Jin back to the bureau. Fortunately, you, Secretary Zhao, knew the seriousness of the matter and sent him away, otherwise, this matter would have blown up. I'm afraid your position, Secretary Zhao, wouldn't be guaranteed then." Li Changping once again gave a warning to the Municipal Party Secretary with his status as Deputy Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department.

Seeing Secretary Zhao listen to Li Changping's words, he immediately nodded and bowed with a fawning smile: "Vice Minister Li, what you said is right. Thanks to your call tonight, Vice Minister Li, otherwise the matter would have really blown up, and it would have been really hard to clean up."

"But fortunately, my reaction was a bit faster, knowing that He Yuping was specially promoted by you, Secretary Zhao, from the Baoping Municipal Bureau, and he would definitely listen to you, so I called you," Li Changping said, patting himself on the back.

"Yes, yes, Vice Minister Li, it's truly thanks to you. Fortunately, your reaction was fast, Vice Minister Li, otherwise the matter would have really blown up," Secretary Zhao said with a fawning smile, flattering him.

Li Changping reached out and patted Secretary Zhao on the shoulder, appearing very earnest: "Fortunately, the matter didn't blow up tonight, otherwise, once Secretary Jin was taken to the bureau, this matter would have been impossible to clean up. Secretary Zhao, you should make an appointment with that He Yuping of your Municipal Bureau tomorrow to talk. You must not let those people spread this matter. If Secretary Jin hears about it, he definitely won't let him go. More importantly, that He Yuping was promoted by you, Secretary Zhao. At that time, you definitely won't be able to escape responsibility. I think you understand what the result will be, right?" ===== CHAPTER 1737 =====
