Chapter 5 chapter Five

For a moment, a sense of tragedy arises spontaneously.He Jiaguo really wanted to say to Li Dongfang: Secretary Li, this time, I, He Jiaguo, will bet my life with you! However, what Li Dongfang and Zhao Qigong never expected was that the corrupt elements have continued to work on the cause of corruption.Neither beheaded nor imprisoned.While investigating the serious economic crimes of the former team of the City Investment Company, Tian Zhuangda's underworld hands had already been stretched out, and they were doing things crazier and more efficient than his predecessor.In less than a year, he quietly immigrated his wife, children and lover abroad.When the relevant departments found out that the situation was wrong and started to investigate, Tian Zhuangda disappeared into thin air.

Disappeared with Tian Zhuangda, and nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars of the subsidiary Hong Kong company.He was not extradited from Thailand until February 25, 2000. Zhao Qigong gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This political gangster has caused us a lot of trouble! He dares to sweep away 300 million Hong Kong dollars for you! I heard that he spent 180,000 in 10 days in Malaysia! I think this bastard should be killed ten times!" Eight times!" Li Dongfang sighed, "Old leader, Tian Zhuangda's arrest, I guess many cadres will be involved." Zhao Qigong's mood suddenly became very bad: "Yes, yes, it's a long series of chatter!"

Li Dongfang did not discuss this issue further, and said, "There is also the pollution issue of the international industrial park, which really gives me a headache, because it is a political achievement project seized by Secretary Mingren back then, and now no one dares to touch it. According to me It's better to turn it off earlier, and it will cause me less trouble." Zhao Qigong hurriedly stopped and said: "Hey, hey, Dongfang, I advise you not to touch this nail, it won't do you any good! Although there are troubles in the opening of the International Industrial Park, there are still many benefits: the output value of 10 billion is indispensable. A stable tax source is indispensable, and it also supports 20,000 to 30,000 people. Let’s say something irresponsible here: Even if you want to touch this hard nail, you still let the city party secretaries in the lower reaches of the Xiajiang River touch it, let them go to the big The boss asked to close the park!"

Li Dongfang snorted: "Which one of them has the backbone? Who dares to speak hard words to Secretary Zhong?" Zhao Qigong stared at Li Dongfang: "Then you, Comrade Li Dongfang, have the backbone, don't you?" Li Dongfang shook his head: "Me neither, but to be honest, I am ashamed and feel sorry for the common people!" His wife, Zhao Huizhu, has a green card from the United States and is unwilling to return to China. He Jiaguo has become a happy bachelor in the past three years. He never cooks. After eating "Master Kong" and watching "News Network" and "Focus Interview", He Jiaguo went to Li Dongfang's house to worry about the country and the people.When he arrived at Li's house, Li Dongfang hadn't come back yet.In the living room of Li's family, only Li Dongfang's wife, Ai Hongyan, was sitting on the sofa dozing off with the TV on, and the cooked food on the table looked completely cold.

Ai Hongyan said: "Hey, Xiaohe, don't just save the revolution, you also care about your sister-in-law!" He Jiaguo smiled: "Sister-in-law, do you still want me to care? Isn't the secretary of the municipal party committee caring enough about you?" Ai Hongyan complained, "What does he care about me? Four years ago, I suffered a lumbar muscle strain. I wanted him to help me change a job. He was lucky, and he never cared about it! I'm almost fifty. Do you work as a nurse in a hospital?" At this point, Li Dongfang came back. He took the rice served by Ai Hongyan, ate it, and said: "Jiaguo, you came at a good time. If you don't come, I will go to you again: you will give it to me tomorrow." Withdraw from Huamei International Investment Company, break away from all ties with the company, get ready, go to the city government to ask for money and report to the mayor, the provincial papers have already been issued.”

He Jiaguo said: "I know, Minister Lin Zhiquan has already talked with me on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee this morning." Then he asked, "Chief, do I really want to be Mayor Qian's assistant? Follow this cowhide basket and go fast?" Li Dongfang knocked on the table: "He Jiaguo, let me remind you: from now on, your status will be different, so you must be careful in what you say and do! What kind of cowhide basket? If you spread this word to Mayor Qian, you, the assistant to the mayor, don't do it." Already!" He Jiaguo also sat at the dining table: "I really don't want to do it with Mayor Qian, I want to do it with you."

Li Dongfang said: "There is no such position as an assistant to the municipal party committee secretary anywhere, so just make do with it!" He Jiaguo said sternly: "Chief, let's make this clear: If you want to make do, don't come to me. If I want to do it, I have to do it, and I have to try to make Xiajiang a dead game! Your boss knows best, What is the current state of Xiajiang? In my opinion, the whole mess, in a word, is hard to get back! When Zhong Mingren was the secretary, he pulled down the pile of shit in the International Industrial Park. When my father-in-law, Zhao Qigong, was the secretary, he pulled down a pile of shit from the Xiajiang New District, not to mention 30 billion, and even made a big case of fleeing public funds! It is said that this is called a political achievement..."

Li Dongfang tried his best to calm down: "Guoguo, you are looking at people who are not struggling to bear the burden! Who had experience when they went to the International Industrial Park 15 years ago? Who knew that the pollution would be so serious? Let alone our inland backward areas, just Even the developed coastal areas have made the mistake of sacrificing the environment to develop the economy! The development of new districts also depends on historical perspective. At that time, real estate in the whole country was so hot, who didn’t want to attract capital? It’s great that our Xiajiang can attract 30 billion. It was a success! As for the subsequent loss of control, it is another matter."

In the end, Li Dongfang confessed: "Okay! Jiaguo, after taking office, go down first and help me solve some urgently needed problems that have not been solved. In addition, you should try your best to take the time to participate in the new round of arguments on Times Avenue, show the spirit of seeking truth from facts, and give me a few shots, regardless of who he is!" For a moment, a sense of tragedy arises spontaneously.He Jiaguo really wanted to say to Li Dongfang: Secretary Li, this time, I, He Jiaguo, will bet my life with you!Regardless of whether there is a minefield or an abyss in front of me, I will rush up with you without hesitation. This sentence is very familiar, as if who said it?Oh, by the way, it was Premier Zhu who told the people all over the country on TV.He Jiaguo was not the prime minister of a country, he was just an assistant to the mayor of a provincial capital city in central and western China who had just been appointed to power, so there was no need to speak so brazenly.

That night, when he said goodbye to Li Dongfang, He Jiaguo only said, "Secretary Li, take care!" Li Dongfang took He Jiaguo's hand and said, "You can do it yourself, don't let me and my comrades down!"
