Chapter 4069

Seeing Zhao Desan giving her money, Xu Qian hurriedly waved her hands to decline, saying, "No, I can't take it, I can't take it."

Zhao Desan was a bit impatient and stuffed it into her hand, saying, "Just take it. If Ju Weidong really causes you trouble, just tell me, and I will make the decision for you!"

Xu Qian tightly grasped the 2,000 yuan Zhao Desan had stuffed into her hand. A warm current surged in her heart involuntarily. She looked at Zhao Desan with gratitude and said, "Deputy District Mayor Liu, you are really a good person."

Zhao Desan said, "I'm not that good, but I'm not bad either. Alright, I still have things to do, I'm leaving first." After saying that, Zhao Desan turned around and headed towards the District Construction Committee.

Xu Qian stood on the spot, blankly watching Zhao Desan's tall back gradually go away, a look of admiration in her eyes. It wasn't until Zhao Desan's back disappeared from sight that Xu Qian turned around, walked to the side of the street, hailed a taxi, and left.

After Zhao Desan and Xu Qian left the District Commission, Secretary Zhao hurriedly called Zheng Tulu and said, "Director Zheng, that kid Zhao Desan has escaped another disaster. What do you think we should do?"

Zheng Tulu had originally thought that this plan was seamless and could put Zhao Desan to death. Suddenly receiving this news of failure from Secretary Zhao, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Secretary Zhao hurriedly explained, "It's like this, the girl who reported him last time recanted her previous report today in person. Our District Commission can't force a confession out of her..."

Zheng Tulu interrupted Secretary Zhao and asked, "What about the bribery? Just the bribery charge alone would be enough to make that kid get out of the district!"

Secretary Zhao sighed and said, "Director Zheng, we both thought of that kid too simply. You don't know, that kid didn't pocket the bank card he received, but handed it to the District Commission the next day. We can't convict him on personal conduct either, and we can't find any problems in economic matters. Our District Commission has no way..."

Zheng Tulu's plan failed again, which made him feel very annoyed. He secretly gritted his teeth and cursed Zhao Desan fiercely in his heart, and said to Secretary Zhao with dissatisfaction, "Old Zhao, why can't you get anything done!"

Secretary Zhao hurriedly explained, "Director Zheng, it's not that I don't want to do as you say, the key is that I can't find any handle to deal with that kid now. Not only can't I get him away, but if he asks us to investigate this bribery matter, Ju Weidong might even be implicated as the briber!"

Zheng Tulu was so angry he had nothing to say. He thought for a moment and said, "Such a large investment project was bridged by the city for your district. Zhao Desan's matter involves the progress of the engineering project. Old Zhao, you still need to report to the city and see what the city's intention is." Zheng Tulu wanted the District Commission Secretary Zhao to report to the city and see if the city would start from the 'big picture' and let the project proceed normally.

Secretary Zhao felt that this matter should also be reported to the city. He first reported the matter about Zhao Desan to the City Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary. Because Ju Weidong's connections in the city were complex, the city considered that if they investigated Ju Weidong, it would implicate many other leading cadres. After the City Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary negotiated privately with City Party Committee Secretary Yang Tianyu, Yang Tianyu personally issued an instruction: the matter ends here, and no one will be pursued. As for the problems existing in the district's ecological tourism city project, everything will be handled according to the requirements of the district's competent department.

Another move of Zheng Tulu's miscalculated. And after City Party Committee Secretary Yang Tianyu made such an instruction, in order to avoid setting himself on fire, Zheng Tulu also washed his hands of the matter regarding the suspension of construction and comprehensive inspection of the ecological tourism city project.

And Lin Dafa and Ju Weidong, without the support of political forces behind them in this matter, also had no temper and could only endure the huge economic losses and accept the comprehensive inspection of the engineering project by the relevant competent units in the district.

This was the second time Zhao Desan showed his iron wrist in the district's work. The first time was in the demolition of the Dongxing Fertilizer Factory, where he defeated various conspiracies and tricks of Xu Dongxing, withstood pressure from all sides, and managed to gnaw on this hard bone, thus being promoted exceptionally to Deputy District Mayor in charge of urban construction work. This time, in the large-scale engineering project invested in the district, Zhao Desan once again showed his selfless work style, disregarding anyone's feelings, and carried out a full-line suspension and rectification of the tourism city project with a first-phase investment of nearly 10 billion, causing huge economic losses to the investor Lin Group and the contractor Hexi Second Construction, making Lin Dafa and Ju Weidong hate Zhao Desan to the bone, but they could do nothing about him.

After City Party Committee Secretary Yang Tianyu learned from the City Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary about Ju Weidong's failed attempt to bribe Zhao Desan, he couldn't help but increase his favor for Zhao Desan. Returning home in the evening, his daughter Yang Meixia happened to be at home. When the family was sitting around the dinner table eating, Yang Tianyu couldn't help but take the initiative to talk about Zhao Desan.

"That kid Zhao Desan does his work quite well, and his organizational discipline is also excellent. No wonder the district exceptionally promoted him to Deputy District Mayor!" Yang Tianyu put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and suddenly sighed.

Ever since Yang Meixia brought Zhao Desan home once and discovered that her family didn't like Zhao Desan, she had never taken the initiative to talk about Zhao Desan when returning home. Today, her father Yang Tianyu suddenly talked about Zhao Desan, which made Yang Meixia feel both surprised and pleasantly surprised. Surprised that her father Yang Tianyu would suddenly talk about that kid Zhao Desan; pleasantly surprised that her father could take the initiative to talk about him, at least it showed that Zhao Desan still had some impression in her father's heart.

Cousin Li Yue seemed to notice that Yang Meixia was a bit excited after hearing her father Yang Tianyu's words, so she quietly kicked her cousin Yang Meixia under the table. After Yang Meixia turned her head in confusion, Li Yue took advantage of Yang Tianyu and his wife not paying attention and whispered in Yang Meixia's ear, "Uncle is praising brother-in-law! Sister Meixia, you must be very happy!"

"Go!" Yang Meixia's face turned slightly red, and she tapped the forehead of the eccentric Li Yue.

Her father Yang Tianyu being able to praise Zhao Desan at the dinner table at home was something Yang Meixia never dared to imagine. One can imagine how happy Yang Meixia was at this moment, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but overflow with a joyful smile. But at this time, after hearing Yang Tianyu praise Zhao Desan, one person was very unhappy, and that person was Yang Meixia's mother. As soon as Yang Tianyu finished that sentence, she turned her head, glared fiercely at Yang Tianyu with those apricot eyes, and said with dissatisfaction, "We are eating well, why talk about that stinky kid!"

The flame of enthusiasm that had just ignited in Yang Meixia's heart was like being poured with a bucket of cold water when she saw her mother's disdainful attitude. She secretly glanced at her mother with a resentful look.

Yang Tianyu didn't take his wife's words to heart. After all, as the City Party Committee Secretary, he not only had absolute say in the entire Xijing City, but basically all leaders below the deputy provincial level had to look at his face. At home, Yang Tianyu also had absolute say. It was fine for his wife to grumble, but she definitely didn't dare to be tough with him. Yang Tianyu took a bite of food, smiled 'hehe' at his wife who was pulling a long face, and said, "You don't like that kid Zhao Desan, but you can't deny that kid's achievements in work. Today really made me change my inherent view of that kid!"

Seeing Yang Meixia's gratified expression, Li Yue couldn't help but ask her uncle for her. She stared with round eyes and looked at Yang Tianyu cutely, asking, "Uncle, what happened today? Why would you... to brother-in-law..." Just as Li Yue said the words 'brother-in-law', her aunt raised her head and glared fiercely at her. Her cousin Yang Meixia, who was sitting beside her, also hurriedly patted her leg. Li Yue then realized she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly covered her mouth. After a while, she continued to ask, "Uncle, why did you praise that Zhao Desan today?"

Yang Meixia's mother glared fiercely at Li Yue again and scolded, "Hurry up and eat your food!"

Hearing Li Yue ask this, and seeing his daughter Yang Meixia looking at him with expectant eyes, Yang Tianyu said with great interest, "Today, the City Commission for Discipline Inspection reported such a matter to me, saying that Ju Weidong of Hexi Second Construction, who contracted the ecological tourism city project in the district, wanted to let Zhao Desan open a net and let the project continue to develop. He entrusted someone to send him a 500,000 bank card. Zhao Desan accepted the card, but didn't give Ju Weidong face, and the project continued to be suspended for comprehensive inspection..."

Hearing this, Yang Meixia couldn't help but worry and couldn't help asking, "Zhao Desan accepted a bribe?" She felt confused in her heart. Since Zhao Desan accepted a bribe, why did her father Yang Tianyu still praise him!

Yang Tianyu looked at his anxious daughter and continued unhurriedly, "Ju Weidong reported Zhao Desan's acceptance of his bank card to the District Commission. However, when the District Commission investigated Zhao Desan, they realized that Zhao Desan had already handed that bank card to the District Commission. I really underestimated that kid before. I didn't expect that kid's personal quality to be so high, his Party style and discipline to be so excellent. He is a rare talent!"

Hearing her father say this, Yang Meixia could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart, and a happy smile appeared on her face. Seeing Yang Meixia's excited appearance, her mother glared at her and scolded, "What's there to be happy about! As a cadre, if you don't even have this quality, what kind of cadre are you! Even if that kid does well in the district, he is just a small cadre in the district! He is not a match for our Yang family, don't think about climbing high into our Yang family!"

Li Yue smiled at her aunt who was full of anger and said, "Aunt, I think Zhao Desan is better than that Fan Chengquan. My cousin also likes him, so why don't you let them be together!"

"What do you know as a little girl!" Yang Meixia's mother rolled her eyes at Li Yue, then looked at her daughter Yang Meixia with annoyance, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and said to her with a straight face, "Meixia, I warn you, I don't care whether you have any contact with that kid in private, but you are absolutely not allowed to bring him home in the future. Only Chengquan is allowed to come to our house!"
