Chapter 789

Zhao De leaned against the head of the bed, lowered his head and took a look at his big guy that was still pointing to the sky. He flicked it with his hand, and it was like a tumbler. He couldn't help but laugh, picked up the cigarette case from the bedside table, took a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking. As the saying goes, a cigarette after a meal is better than a living immortal, but every time Zhao De lit one after finishing this, he felt incomparably comfortable, truly happier and more carefree than an immortal.

Once tonight passed, he had to think about how to find an opportunity to go to the hospital to find Zhao Xue tomorrow and give her the money. In his heart, Zhao Xue was the most moving girl he had ever seen, especially when she was still a police officer; the sense of justice and indomitable spirit emanating from her made him appreciate her very much. For her, that feeling was not suspected love, but true love. It's just that he wasn't sure now whether he could be with her in the future. After all, he had only just come to the province to develop and was still at the very bottom of the political circle, which was a far cry from his ideals. How could he embark on a shortcut to success? Synthesizing his official career experience at the Yuyang Coal Bureau, the only way was to borrow the position of the powerful people who held great power, and this person was undoubtedly Sister Su, who was the Minister of the Provincial Organization Department. He had exhausted all his essence for her. If there was an opportunity for promotion in the Construction Committee, he believed Sister Su would also consider moving for him and helping him get promoted.

After returning from the shower, Su Qing's drunkenness had basically passed. Because the next day was Sunday and she didn't have to go to the unit, Su Qing had no sleepiness at all. She lay naked in his arms, looking like a little woman snuggling up to him and chatting. The topic shifted to Fang Jun, the ex-husband of Division Chief Lan who was being investigated by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Su Qing said, "I didn't expect the province to be serious this time. After taking Fang Jun away from home this morning, they have basically confirmed the facts of his bribery and corruption. It seems he didn't receive much money either. I think he doesn't know which leader he offended. Someone is intentionally trying to bring him down. Otherwise, with the little money he received, which leader would dare to say they haven't received any? Being reported by someone, bad luck."

Zhao De was very interested in these negative news in the officialdom, and it could be considered as taking the opportunity to learn some ways of conducting oneself in the officialdom, so as not to repeat the same mistakes. He asked her with great interest, "How much money did that Fang Jun receive from others?"

Speaking of this, Su Qing felt a bit funny and said with a chuckle, "Actually, it wasn't much money. I heard from Deputy Secretary-General Zhang in the evening that the preliminary investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection was that he only received more than 100,000."

"It's indeed not much," Zhao De said. Just for him, a person at the bottom of the officialdom, Zhang Jiayin would try every means to send him so much money, let alone other high-level leaders who had much more power in their hands than him. Just taking the official at the level of Zheng the Bald Donkey, receiving a few million in gifts a year was considered small. Those who were investigated and punished by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, which one of them wasn't involved in bribery and corruption of tens of millions, and in the end, they were only sentenced to ten or twenty years. So, Zhao De felt that this Fang Jun was partly to blame for his lack of ability, and secondly, he must have offended some leader, just as Sister Su said. Otherwise, they were all on the same path, who would be so bored to report him? "That's really hard to say, maybe he offended someone."

"It must be that he offended someone. Otherwise, who would report him?" Su Qing said affirmatively.

"Then, according to Sister Su, who do you think reported him?" Zhao De asked casually, just being more interested in this question.

Su Qing looked at him with strange eyes, shook her head, and said, "How would I know this? People reported it anonymously, how could they let you know? Anyway, it must be someone in the officialdom."

Zhao De said "Oh," and suddenly thought that Sister Su said this Fang Jun was Division Chief Lan's ex-husband. He thought, would the city wall be damaged and the fish in the moat be affected? So, he said, "Sister Su, you said Fang Jun is being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, will our Division Chief Lan be implicated?"

Su Qing said without thinking, "Haven't they divorced? It shouldn't be. Besides, Fang Jun only received that little money, it's not worth the Commission for Discipline Inspection making such a big fuss. However, judging from the seriousness of the Commission for Discipline Inspection's work this time, the relevant leaders of the Provincial Committee attach great importance to carrying out this cadre and party member style discipline and clean government construction."

"Then, does Sister Su going to dinner tonight count as violating organizational discipline?" Zhao De said in a joking tone. In fact, he wasn't worried about her at all. The more people who are at the center of political power, the closer their relationships are. As the saying goes, officials protect officials. Even if she violated discipline at the forefront of the storm, he believed that with her status and power, people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection would dare to investigate her. Just as she said, the unlucky ones who can be investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection are either those who have offended someone or those who don't have a very hard backing above.

Su Qing gave him a look and said, "What does eating a meal count as violating discipline? Besides, I, your Sister Su, am not so unappreciative, unable to see the situation clearly, and dare to commit crimes against the wind. I didn't receive anything from them today either. If it weren't for the sake of Deputy Secretary-General Zhang, I wouldn't even want to go to this meal."

Zhao De said with a chuckle, "I'm joking."

The Hexi Provincial Committee and Provincial Government attach great importance to carrying out cadre style and clean government construction this time. It was personally instructed by the Vice Governor in charge of political and legal construction to carry out a half-year party style and clean government construction activity throughout the province. All government functional departments in Hexi Province attach great importance to this activity and have all held relevant meetings.

Sure enough, the next morning, as soon as Su Qing got up and finished washing, a call came from the province calling her to a meeting. After answering the call, Su Qing muttered impatiently, "What is the province doing? Not even letting people rest on weekends!"

This just happened to meet Zhao De's wishes. He was worrying about how to find an excuse to go out today. This is good, Heaven truly has eyes, knowing that he is doing a great good deed this time, so it gave him this opportunity. Heaven is truly helping me, Zhao De thought with secret joy, and said to Su Qing with a chuckle, "Alright, Sister Su, don't be irritable. Who told you to be a big leader? I would like to go, but I don't have the qualifications."
