Chapter 25 Chapter Twenty-Five

Li Dongfang couldn't listen anymore, and smiled coldly: "Old Chen, don't confess your love anymore! I advise you to honestly explain your problems to the provincial party committee, take the initiative, and don't hold any illusions anymore!" Li Dongfang thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Old Chen, I don't think you are confused when you can say these things today. Then, why don't you take the initiative? Why don't you go to the provincial party committee to explain clearly to Comrade Wang Peisong?" What? You say I’m pushing you every step of the way, who am I pushing? It’s nothing more than talking about principles and right and wrong, whether it’s for you or Zhao Qigong. If you, Old Chen, can also talk about some principles and right and wrong, maybe things will be fine. Do more."

This is what Li Dongfang really wanted to say to Chen Zhongcheng today. To this day, Zhao Qigong is still stalling for time, maintaining a political stalemate so tenaciously that Zhong Mingren and Wang Peisong are afraid of him and the Xiajiang Municipal Party Committee.Zhao Qigong also opposed the adjustment of the division of labor of the Standing Committee. He gave a lot of reasons, but he ignored them all, which made Zhao Qigong very unhappy.Zhao Qigong said at the time that as long as one domino falls, another domino will fall.Li Dongfang said that if one piece is really going to fall, the first one should be overturned earlier and actively.

When he said this, Li Dongfang didn't feel much guilt towards Zhao Qigong, the old leader, but only resentment and injustice: he said it so clearly over and over again, but this politician didn't listen, and he would rather do it regardless of his situation. The umbrella of corrupt elements must also stubbornly look for what they call "political opportunities." This political opportunity can no longer be chosen by Zhao Qigong, but by him. Now it seems that it should be Chen Zhongcheng. According to Li Dongfang's vision, if Chen Zhongcheng could take the initiative to explain his problems to the provincial party committee after being abandoned by Zhao Qigong, Zhao Qigong's problems would inevitably be brought up, and the deadlock between him and Zhao Qigong would be broken.

Chen Zhongcheng pondered for a while, then sighed deeply: "Secretary Li, why are you so serious?" Li Dongfang walked to the sofa opposite Chen Zhongcheng and sat down: "Old Chen, you can't be serious, let's not talk about party principles, just say one thing: so many eyes are staring at me, can I hide it?" Chen Zhongcheng's eyes brightened obviously, as if he had found some loopholes to take advantage of: "Secretary Li, didn't you tell Zhao Qigong everything you should say? You did everything you needed to do - even my Political and Legal Secretary let you get Now that you are down, who can say anything about you? Now you are in charge of politics and law, as long as you don’t take it so seriously, I don’t think the situation will go bad, and I can continue to help you with some tasks..."

Li Dongfang waved his hand and interrupted Chen Zhongcheng: "I don't have any work that needs your help. I just hope that you will take the initiative to explain your own problems to the provincial party committee. You know your problems, and Comrade Zhao Qigong probably knows them too. If you wait until Comrade Zhao Qigong went to talk to the Provincial Party Committee first, so you will be passive?" Chen Zhongcheng thought nervously for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Secretary Li, I have a clear conscience towards Zhao Qigong, even if some things are done against the principle, it is Zhao Qigong's intention, he can say whatever he likes, I admit it! "

Li Dongfang noticed that when he said this, Chen Zhongcheng's eyes were evasive, and he was not so confident. As if to cover up something, Chen Zhongcheng said again: "I am a person who came up step by step from the grassroots. I am too emotional and have a lot of problems. Sometimes I will be deceived, used by others, and do some stupid things. But Secretary Li, there is something wrong with me." I can assure you: I have never had a bad heart towards friends, comrades, or leaders..." Li Dongfang couldn't listen anymore, and smiled coldly: "Old Chen, don't confess your love anymore! I advise you to honestly explain your problems to the provincial party committee, earlier, take the initiative, and stop holding any illusions." You said that you were used by others, is it credible? Is it convincing? I’m afraid Zhao Qigong won’t believe it, right?” At this point, his tone became severe, “Are you being deceived, or are you colluding? From the Hongfeng Mall lawsuit When it comes to the case of Tian Zhuangda, how many bad things have you been involved in? You are a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, how did you become someone's dog? Why does Comrade Qigong treat you as a watchdog? Old Chen, don't you Do you feel sad?"

The conversation with Chen Zhongcheng broke up unhappy. Chen Zhongcheng didn't know whether he was afraid of Zhao Qigong in his heart, or he still had illusions about Zhao Qigong, and he never agreed to explain the problem to the provincial party committee.At the end of the talk, Chen Zhongcheng turned the topic to the cultural, educational and health work that he was about to be in charge of, as if he could continue working as a full-time member of the Standing Committee for a long time.Li Dongfang suppressed his resentment, managed to deal with it a few words, then asked Chen Zhongcheng to talk another day under the pretext of something to do, and drove Chen Zhongcheng away.
