Chapter 2085

Ke Zhifang said: "Xinghui, what do you think about this matter? Individual leaders in the province insist on sending an investigation team to your Chongjin County."

Su Xinghui said in a relaxed tone: "Then send it; I am upright and don't fear a crooked shadow; no matter how they investigate things I haven't done, it's fine; I followed procedures strictly when shutting down their factories; I issued them rectification notices many times, but they didn't rectify according to national regulations; their factories were not wrongly shut down."

Ke Zhifang said: "I believe you won't be found to have any problems, but the key is that the timing is wrong; aren't you about to have an election? If the investigation team cannot produce results for a long time, it will affect your election."

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "It's okay, Provincial Governor Ke; even if I am investigated by the organization, I still have the right to participate in the election."

Ke Zhifang said: "The regulation is the regulation, but if you are investigated, won't it still affect your vote count? If you don't want the investigation team to investigate, I will hold them off."

Su Xinghui knew that Ke Zhifang must be under great pressure; he came to Jiangyou Province with no allies, and some of the reform measures he implemented were particularly easy to offend people; now it could be said that he was surrounded by enemies; this time it must be some of his political enemies insisting on investigating Su Xinghui, which could also be considered a blow to Ke Zhifang.

Since Ke Zhifang was under such great pressure, Su Xinghui couldn't add to it; he said to Ke Zhifang: "Uncle Ke, it's okay, let them come and investigate; I'm not afraid."

Ke Zhifang said: "Don't try to be brave; I can hold them off; Deputy Secretary Zheng still supports me."

The Deputy Secretary Zheng he mentioned was, of course, Zheng Yanjun; since the last incident, Zheng Yanjun had supported Ke Zhifang on many issues, and the two currently had a fairly good relationship.

Su Xinghui chuckled and said: "Uncle Ke, it's okay; I called Brother Yu today, and he said he would come to Chongjin County tonight to discuss this matter with me; with his help, there won't be any problems."

As soon as Ke Zhifang heard that Yu Ruizhi knew about this, he was immediately relieved; Yu Ruizhi was the eldest grandson of Elder Yu, and behind him was the behemoth of the Yu family; if he couldn't handle this, then not many people could.

For such a matter, Ke Zhifang himself was not in a good position to ask the Yu family for help, but there was no problem with Su Xinghui asking Yu Ruizhi for help.

Ke Zhifang then said: "Okay, then be careful yourself; don't underestimate the enemy; this time Secretary Jiang has even spoken up."

Ke Zhifang gave Su Xinghui a small hint; the Secretary Jiang he mentioned was the Provincial Party Committee Secretary of Jiangyou Province, the top leader Jiang Fangping; since Jiang Fangping had spoken up, the investigation team this time must be coming with ill intent.

At first glance, it seemed unbelievable for a Provincial Party Committee Secretary to speak up about the investigation of a county magistrate; however, Su Xinghui was not an ordinary county magistrate; investigating him was equivalent to making things difficult for Ke Zhifang, the provincial governor; if it weren't for the Provincial Party Committee Secretary speaking up, not many people would dare to seriously investigate Su Xinghui.

Ke Zhifang came to Jiangyou Province carrying the spirit of the central government; as soon as he arrived, he implemented many reform measures; these measures were still very radical for the conservative Jiangyou Province; thus, he had some fairly intense conflicts with the local forces in Jiangyou Province, and Jiang Fangping was the representative of the local forces; of course, some friction had also arisen between him and Ke Zhifang.

Jiang Fangping had also felt the strong impact brought by Ke Zhifang during this period; he believed that Ke Zhifang was challenging him; if he, Jiang Fangping, didn't show his muscles, what prestige would he have left in Jiangyou Province?

Therefore, this investigation into Su Xinghui could also be considered a warning from Jiang Fangping to Ke Zhifang: if you, Ke Zhifang, honestly do your own job, I can live in peace with you, but if you go too far, I, Jiang Fangping, am not someone to be trifled with.

Jiang Fangping might not want to do anything to Su Xinghui by investigating him; he just wanted to warn Ke Zhifang, but the timing was really too wrong; Su Xinghui was about to have an election.

If Ke Zhifang could express his stance and be willing to live in peace with Jiang Fangping, perhaps Jiang Fangping wouldn't keep harping on this matter, but could Ke Zhifang live in peace with Jiang Fangping? That was also impossible.

Ke Zhifang was sent to Jiangyou Province by the central government in the hope that he, a reformer, could change the face of Jiangyou Province; if he lived in peace with the local forces in Jiangyou Province, what would be the use of the central government having him as provincial governor? It was estimated that he would be adjusted in a year or a year and a half.

Su Xinghui, of course, understood the logic behind this; as soon as his mind turned, he understood Jiang Fangping's intention, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly: You want to warn me? I just won't let you succeed; if I don't make you choke on dust this time, my surname isn't Su.

Around two in the afternoon, Yu Ruizhi called Su Xinghui, saying that he had already landed at Jiangcheng Airport and was now driving to Chongjin County; he estimated he would arrive in Chongjin County before six, and asked Su Xinghui to wait for him to have a drink together.

Su Xinghui told Lu Xiaoya that Yu Ruizhi was coming to Chongjin County tonight, saying that he had to accompany Yu Ruizhi for a meal and wouldn't be home for dinner.

Lu Xiaoya had to take care of the child, so she didn't suggest eating with Su Xinghui and the others; when she heard that Su Xinghui was eating with Yu Ruizhi and the others, she was relieved.

Su Xinghui hadn't told Lu Xiaoya about the investigation team coming from the province yet; he didn't want Lu Xiaoya to worry now; of course, this matter couldn't be hidden; once the investigation team arrived, the whole county would know.

Su Xinghui planned to discuss a proper plan with Yu Ruizhi before telling Lu Xiaoya about this matter; in that case, Lu Xiaoya shouldn't worry.

Just after answering Yu Ruizhi's call, Su Xinghui received an unexpected call; this call was actually from Wang Liu.

Hearing it was Wang Liu, Su Xinghui asked with some surprise: "Wang Liu, why are you calling me?"

Since Wang Liu went to Yangcheng, she had never contacted Su Xinghui; when Su Xinghui went to Yangcheng that time and saw Wang Liu on TV, and after asking Yu Ruizhi to help her change jobs, he hadn't contacted her either; now he rarely even remembered her; he didn't expect to receive a call from Wang Liu today, which surprised him very much.

Wang Liu said: "County Magistrate Su, don't ask about this first; I ask you, have you offended anyone again recently?"

Su Xinghui said: "Wang Liu, have you heard something?"

Only then did Wang Liu explain the ins and outs of the matter; it turned out that she was now a host and program producer at Yangcheng TV Station; a program she produced was very popular in Yangcheng and even had quite a few viewers outside the province, with considerable influence.

Two days ago, someone went to the TV station where Wang Liu worked to report a story; the story they reported was this matter of Su Xinghui; these reporters said that someone would unfurl banners to protest at the gate of the Jiangyou Provincial Government and asked their TV station to interview this matter.

For a TV station, such a matter was, of course, a very explosive story; protesting with banners at the gate of the provincial government; if they could interview this matter, the ratings would certainly be very high.

Of course, the TV station also had a very political mind; protesting at the gate of the provincial government, the water in this matter must be very deep, and they didn't dare to wade into it rashly; moreover, Ke Zhifang, the provincial governor of Jiangyou Province, was transferred from Yuedong Province, and he still had quite a few connections in Yuedong Province; if they offended him, it would be very easy for him to fix the people at the TV station.

So the news department director who received the report at the time just brushed it off and didn't intend to send anyone over.

However, Wang Liu heard that someone had reported a big story, so she went to ask the news department director what the report was; the news department director roughly told her about it and told her that the water inside was very deep and they couldn't wade into it this time.

When Wang Liu heard it was the county magistrate of Chongjin County, her heart skipped a beat; wasn't the county magistrate of Chongjin County Su Xinghui? Who had he offended again? This clearly showed that someone wanted to fix him.

Wang Liu subsequently made several calls before she found the phone number of Su Xinghui's office; she called once in the morning, but Su Xinghui wasn't in the office at the time, and no one answered; she called again later, and it just so happened that Su Xinghui wasn't in the office again; it wasn't until after two in the afternoon, when Wang Liu watched the time just after work started in the afternoon and called, that Su Xinghui answered the phone.

Su Xinghui said to Wang Liu: "I might have offended someone again; you should know that if you want to do some practical work, you must offend people; however, you don't need to worry too much; I can handle this matter."

How could Wang Liu not worry? She said to Su Xinghui: "Be careful; I heard that they found quite a few media outlets to interview this matter; our Nanfeng Evening News here also sent reporters this time."

Su Xinghui had heard of the name Nanfeng Evening News; it was a newspaper with great influence across the country and was known for daring to speak; the more they saw such things, the more they rushed forward as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Su Xinghui said: "Okay, I know; Wang Liu, thank you; I won't be careless about this matter."

Although Wang Liu was a bit reluctant to part and a bit worried, she couldn't say too much; she said "Take care" and hung up the phone.
