Chapter 2489

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, a smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "I didn't expect you, little brother, to be such a person who hates evil as a foe. Having a sense of justice is good, but having a sense of justice without ability is just having a mouth."

"Hmph!" Cao Zhengyuan snorted: "Who said I only have a mouth?"

"Oh?" The middle-aged man was a bit surprised by Cao Zhengyuan's reaction. He cast his gaze on Cao Zhengyuan again and asked with interest: "Little brother, listening to what you mean, can you help these old cadres and handle Zhou Andong today?"

Cao Zhengyuan's originally tense face relaxed at this time. He raised his hand and pointed into the distance: "The city leader's car is parked over there, and he is here to inspect the Woolen Mill. The purpose is to see with his own eyes what specific measures Zhou Andong has taken for the Woolen Mill's reform after taking office. But unexpectedly, he saw such a scene."

Cao Zhengyuan said righteously, his voice getting louder and more impassioned. Anyone could hear his inner excitement and anger, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"If these old cadres' words are true, if we continue to indulge a scourge like Zhou Andong to act recklessly in the Woolen Mill, then this is undoubtedly the sorrow of the country, the sorrow of the Woolen Mill, and even more the sorrow of the 40,000 employees!"

Looking at the attracted attention, a smile that was hard to detect appeared on Cao Zhengyuan's face. The reason he did this was actually very simple. He wanted everyone to know clearly that Secretary Sun coming to the Woolen Mill for inspection today was absolutely not specifically targeting any person or event. It was purely a coincidence that they happened to run into these retired old cadres pulling up banners at the main gate of the Woolen Mill, accusing Zhou Andong of violating discipline and laws.

And Sun Baocun naturally could not turn a blind eye to this situation. He was the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary after all, shouldering the heavy responsibility of maintaining party discipline and state laws, and even more so could not let these retired old cadres who were still full of enthusiasm and affection for the Woolen Mill feel cold. Therefore, facing such a situation, he must investigate this matter and give everyone an explanation.

In this way, once it is found that Zhou Andong has problems, then in order to appease the anger of the retired old cadres and maintain party discipline and state laws, handling Zhou Andong is a matter of course.

Besides this, there was another important purpose, which was to coerce public opinion. And what Cao Zhengyuan said was actually seizing the opportunity to make the common people believe first that Zhou Andong had indeed violated discipline and laws.

Because Zhou Andong's name was too big, his every move was highly concerned. What happened today would spread across Beijing at an astonishing speed like a prairie fire.

Once Zhou Andong is removed from his position, this news will be like a heavy bomb, causing an uproar, and the fact that Zhou Andong violated the law will be confirmed.

By that time, Zhou Andong's reputation will definitely plummet and become stinking. People's evaluation of him will also take a sharp turn for the worse, changing from the original respect and praise to abandonment and accusation.

"I'll go report to the leader." As soon as Cao Zhengyuan's words fell, the crowd that had originally gathered automatically made way. Then, their eyes were all focused on Cao Zhengyuan, full of expectation and excitement. Watching this fun today was really worth it.

"I didn't expect that a big leader would really come to the Woolen Mill for inspection!" Voices of gloating came from the crowd: "I have always felt that Zhou Andong is not a good thing. It seems my intuition is right."

"This is really lively!" Another person echoed: "I don't know if Zhou Andong will step down."

Another voice sounded: "You say, does Zhou Andong really have problems?"

"Definitely has problems!" Someone answered immediately: "Otherwise, why would these old cadres pull up banners and make trouble here? They are not full and have nothing to do."

Someone said with great emotion: "I always thought Zhou Andong was a very bright and upright person. I didn't expect that even though he is so rich, he would still be corrupt."

Someone mocked: "This is saying, who would dislike having too much money?"

"You guys be careful with your words!" At this time, a serious voice sounded: "These old cadres didn't say Zhou Andong is corrupt and takes bribes. You guys are making things up out of thin air, and you will have to be responsible!"

"Yes, before there is a result, it's better not to guess wildly."

"That's right, I believe in Zhou Andong, I support him!"

"Support his ass. Are you guys sick in the brain? Do you think these old cadres are wronging him?"

Discussions rose one after another, some scolding Zhou Andong, some gloating, and naturally some supporting Zhou Andong.

Inside the Audi, Sun Baocun was closing his eyes, his hands on his knees, his fingers tapping rhythmically, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Cao Zhengyuan came back, gently pulled open the car door, bent over and said: "Secretary, very smooth, no abnormalities."

Sun Baocun opened his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then got out of the car. As soon as he got out, the car door of the Santana behind also opened, and four people got off. Then it was the van, and seven people got off, some carrying cameras and some holding cameras. Obviously, these people were reporters.

At the same time, the middle-aged man who was talking to Cao Zhengyuan looked left and right, then turned and walked out of the crowd, coming to Old Huang standing under the willow tree on the side of the road.

"Dad, did you hear the words of that young man just now?"

Old Huang nodded and looked up at Sun Baocun and his group walking over: "It should be Sun Baocun's secretary."

Old Song was holding a cigarette in his hand and also looked up: "This battle is not small. Bringing so many reporters, I guess they have found the 'criminal evidence' of Zhou Andong's violation of discipline, otherwise they wouldn't have brought so many reporters here."

"Dad!" The middle-aged man suddenly said: "I heard that Zhou Andong is holding a meeting on anti-corruption and advocating integrity, and all cadres at or above the section level must attend."

Old Huang didn't speak yet, but Old Song laughed: "Sun Baocun came to the Woolen Mill for inspection, it is impossible to notify Zhou Andong, but I believe Zhou Andong must know. But he chose to hold an anti-corruption and advocating integrity meeting at this time, which is a bit interesting."

Old Huang pondered, looked at his son and asked: "Is the meeting held in the Cultural Palace?"

"No!" The middle-aged man shook his head: "I heard from the Woolen Mill employees that it is in the factory cinema."

"Let's go, let's go to the cinema to see!" Old Huang stepped forward: "Zhou Andong holding this meeting must have a purpose. I am not so worried about him now, but my curiosity has been aroused again."

Old Song followed, smoking while walking: "I think there is still a big play to be performed at the gate here. Can't we go after watching it?"

"Not watching!" Old Huang walked faster and faster, and a smile appeared on his face: "I am more interested in Zhou Andong's meeting now."
