Chapter 1157

The handling of this matter could not be hidden from Tian Chengzhu. This was a matter of organizational procedure. If Tian Chengzhu were not notified, the central leaders would think that he, Gu Shanmin, was plotting a conspiracy and deliberately trying to frame Tian Chengzhu. In fact, what benefit would it be to him, Gu Shanmin, to frame Tian Chengzhu now?

Gu Shanmin had already controlled the situation in Hudong Province. Now, Hudong Province was developing rapidly, and everything was moving in a good direction. As long as the political situation in the province remained stable, Gu Shanmin would have a great hope of advancing further at the Party Congress two years later. At this time, he had no need to provoke a struggle.

Therefore, Tian Chengzhu must know about this matter, and they must work together to find a way to solve this matter well, stabilize the situation in the province, minimize losses, and reduce adverse effects.

However, Tian Chengzhu had greeted the banks for this matter. If he were told about this, would he tip off Qu Cheng'an and let Qu Cheng'an run away?

But Gu Shanmin thought about it, and this matter was unlikely. Tian Chengzhu had no need to do such a thing. Moreover, even if Qu Cheng'an ran away, it would be useless. His subordinates were still in Shangjun County, could they run away? The responsibility that he, Tian Chengzhu, and his son should bear could not be escaped.

After pondering for a long time, Gu Shanmin said to Zhang Kaishan, "Comrade Kaishan, you now make arrangements for the public security department in the county to closely monitor Qu Cheng'an's subordinates. Do not let them escape, but do not alert the enemy for the time being."

Zhang Kaishan nodded, and in front of Gu Shanmin, he called Xu Shixie. He said on the phone, "Comrade Shixie, you arrange capable and reliable personnel to closely monitor all those people from Global International. Do not let them leave Shangjun County, but do not move them until you receive my next order."

Xu Shixie asked, "Secretary Zhang, what happened?"

Zhang Kaishan said, "Just do as I say. Remember, you must not let them notice."

Xu Shixie agreed, and Zhang Kaishan hung up the phone.

Gu Shanmin nodded and said, "Comrade Kaishan, then you return to Shangjun now, sit in the County Party Committee, and wait for the orders of the Provincial Party Committee at any time."

Zhang Kaishan stood up, and Su Xinghui followed him. Gu Shanmin said, "Xinghui, don't leave yet. Stay in Jiangcheng for these two days."

Su Xinghui was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He sent Zhang Kaishan out, and after Zhang Kaishan got in the car and left, he returned to Gu Shanmin's office.

Gu Shanmin said, "Zhenghong, you take Xinghui back to your office. I want to talk to Governor Tian."

Lu Zhenghong got up and took Su Xinghui back to his office. He said to Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, you can stay here with peace of mind today. Secretary Gu will have proper arrangements for this matter."

Su Xinghui nodded. He knew that Gu Shanmin, as the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, naturally had his overall considerations, and the decisions he made were not made casually.

When Tian Chengzhu received Gu Shanmin's call, his mood was still relatively relaxed. He did not know what was waiting for him. During this period, his relationship with Gu Shanmin was okay, at least relatively harmonious on the surface. Maintaining unity on the surface was beneficial to both of them.

Of course, beneath the surface unity, there were still some frictions between the two sides. This was unavoidable. In politics, complete harmony did not exist.

Tian Chengzhu came to Gu Shanmin's office, and Gu Shanmin smiled and said, "Governor, sit."

Tian Chengzhu sat down, and Gu Shanmin personally poured him a cup of tea. Tian Chengzhu leaned forward to thank him and took the teacup. He was a year or two older than Gu Shanmin, so Gu Shanmin had always been relatively respectful in front of him.

Tian Chengzhu took the initiative to ask, "Secretary, is there anything you want to see me about today?"

Gu Shanmin's expression became serious, and he said to Tian Chengzhu, "Governor, there is a matter I want to discuss with you, regarding a serious economic fraud case."

"Economic fraud case?" Tian Chengzhu was a bit strange. How could such a case need a Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and a Governor to discuss? Wasn't this a matter for the Public Security Department?

Gu Shanmin nodded and handed the document about Global International to Tian Chengzhu.

Tian Chengzhu took it with some doubt and began to read the document carefully. In just an instant, huge waves surged in his heart, and his hands trembled slightly.

He cursed Tian Xiaopeng in his heart. This little brat, he originally thought he was a steady person, but who knew he had made such a mistake! Stabbing such a big basket, this was going to kill people!

Tian Chengzhu knew that if his political opponents grabbed onto this matter, it would be a devastating disaster for the Tian family. His son, Tian Xiaopeng, was the direct handler of this matter, and he had also greeted the banks for Global International's loan, while Tian Xiaotao had directly taken the people from Global International to the major banks to apply for loans.

Tian Chengzhu looked up at Gu Shanmin somewhat nervously. Gu Shanmin had a gentle smile on his face, and this smile made Tian Chengzhu's nervous mood calm down a little.

Since Gu Shanmin handed this document directly to him, it seemed that Gu Shanmin did not have any intention of doing anything to him.

Tian Chengzhu would certainly not be naive enough to think that Gu Shanmin did not know the role he, Tian Chengzhu, played in this matter. Otherwise, Gu Shanmin would have directly opened a Secretary's office meeting, and at that time, Tian Chengzhu would have been truly passive. Since he talked to him alone, it meant that this matter was still negotiable.

Thinking of this, Tian Chengzhu raised his head and asked respectfully, "Secretary, who discovered this matter? How many people know about it now?"

Gu Shanmin said, "This matter was discovered by Su Xinghui. After he discovered it, he reported it to Zhang Kaishan, the Secretary of the Shangjun County Party Committee, and then reported it to Comrade Zhenghong at the provincial level. Comrade Zhenghong took them to report it to me in person. Now, only these few people know about this matter. Of course, now there is also you."

Hearing Gu Shanmin's words, Tian Chengzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and he subconsciously wiped the sweat on his forehead.
