Chapter 1749

Hearing Li Changping say this, Secretary Zhao suddenly realized in his heart. So he had gone around such a big circle just to say this. He was stunned for a few seconds, then said with a flattering smile, "Deputy Department Head Li, then what do you mean?"

"Secretary Zhao, He Yuping is a person from your Xijing City Bureau. It is more appropriate for you to come forward and ask him. Of course, this is also Secretary Jin's meaning. I hope you, Secretary Zhao, can handle it as soon as possible." Li Changping brought out Provincial Party Committee Secretary Jin to exert pressure on Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhao.

Hearing Li Changping say this, Secretary Zhao naturally understood his implication and hurriedly said with a flattering smile, "Then... then I will try my best to handle it. I will give you an answer, Deputy Department Head Li, after I ask Captain He. What do you think?"

Seeing that the conversation had been brought to the main point, Li Changping became straightforward. He said, "Secretary Zhao, actually Secretary Jin's meaning is very simple. He just wants to know who exactly reported this matter behind the scenes and wants to catch this mastermind who deliberately disrupted the work of the Provincial Party Committee. Of course, I know it definitely has nothing to do with you, Secretary Zhao. Now this task is handed over to you to handle. I hope you can give Secretary Jin a satisfactory answer as soon as possible!" Because Li Changping had been tossed around all night by his wife, Zhang Ailing, who had come to Xijing City for a meeting, he had slept soundly all morning and didn't wake up until after two in the afternoon. As soon as he saw Secretary Jin's many missed calls, he hurriedly called back. After being scolded by Secretary Jin, he was arranged to do this matter. Li Changping naturally didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly called Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhao, exerting pressure from his side to let him investigate the origin of that report call.

A higher official crushes a lower one. Although Secretary Zhao was dedicated to the people, in the complex and turbulent special environment of officialdom, he sometimes had to pretend to be in collusion with others, especially when facing things arranged by higher-level leaders that he was unwilling to do, he still had to try hard to cater to the leader's meaning. Li Changping's arrangement forced Secretary Zhao to lower his head and smile flatteringly, "Deputy Department Head Li, don't worry, I will go and ask for you now, and I will give you an answer once I ask."

Seeing that Secretary Zhao was still appreciative, Li Changping laughed and said, "That's fine, then I will wait for your good news, Secretary Zhao."

"Okay, okay, Deputy Department Head Li, then... then if you have nothing else, I will hang up first and go ask for you." Secretary Zhao said with a flattering smile.

"Hmm, let's do that for now. I'll wait for your good news!" Li Changping finished laughing twice and hung up the phone.

Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, the smile on Secretary Zhao's face gradually faded, his brows furrowed tightly, and his expression became extremely grave. He slowly took the mobile phone from his ear, put it into the leather holster at his waist, then turned around, opened the door, walked out of his office, and came to the reception room.

He Yuping, who was waiting for Secretary Zhao, saw him come out after answering the phone and hurriedly stood up. Secretary Zhao waved his hand and said, "Sit, sit down, don't be so reserved!"

After He Yuping sat down, Secretary Zhao sat down opposite him again. He Yuping found that Secretary Zhao's expression had changed significantly, as if he were deep in thought as if something big had happened. So He Yuping tentatively asked jokingly, "Secretary Zhao, why do you look a bit unhappy after answering a call? Did you have a disagreement with your wife? Haha..."

Secretary Zhao looked at He Yuping carefully for a long time before saying, "Yuping, the call just now was from Deputy Department Head Li. He asked me to investigate, who gave you the report call last night?"

"The one who called me was a landline number from Beijing. I don't know who it is either." He Yuping said.

"A call from Beijing?" Secretary Zhao asked with some surprise.

"Yes, it was a landline number from Beijing. I didn't quite believe it at first, but after thinking about it, I still felt I had to go and see to know. Who knew that after going to the Jianguo Hotel, I realized it was Secretary Jin and the others playing mahjong." He Yuping thought of that call and also felt a bit strange.

"Who in Beijing would know the movements of Secretary Jin and the others?" Secretary Zhao thought with full suspicion.

"I'm not clear about this." He Yuping said. Seeing Secretary Zhao's grave expression, he continued to ask, "Is it that Deputy Department Head Li must find out who this person is?"

"Hmm, it's Secretary Jin's meaning. I knew Secretary Jin wouldn't swallow this anger so easily." Secretary Zhao said, then looked at He Yuping, seeing that he was slightly worried after hearing this sentence, and continued, "But Yuping, don't worry too much. Secretary Jin and the others shouldn't blame you. He wants to find the mastermind behind the scenes who reported them. I also find it strange. Secretary Jin and the others were playing mahjong, how could someone report it? This matter might not be that simple."

He Yuping was also a smart person. He looked at Secretary Zhao with a sudden realization and continued, "Secretary Zhao, are you saying someone wants to..."

"Yuping, don't talk about this matter outside. I'm just guessing, you know?" Secretary Zhao interrupted He Yuping's deduction and said.

He Yuping nodded with understanding and said, "Secretary Zhao, I understand."

Secretary Zhao stood up while saying, "Alright, Yuping, you go back and busy yourself with your things first."
