Chapter 17 Chapter 17 The Endless Night

At noon on the second day after the Municipal Committee's Standing Committee ended, Zhao Fenfang took advantage of the gap between foreign affairs activities to have a meeting with Jin Qiming at the European Hotel. How much room for maneuver is left.Jin Qiming listened to Zhao Fenfang's introduction, but thought that although Sanyuan Group's reorganization plan was unexpected and expected, it was actually decided by Quansheng, Liu Chongtian, and Zhou Shanben, so he had to admit the reality.Leaving aside the idea of ​​eating up the Blue Sky Group, Jin Qiming changed the subject and asked Zhao Fenfang to find a way to grant the pyramid the 500 mu of land planned by the city government near the Xinxu Seashore International Resort.Zhao Fenfang was not in a good mood, she waved her hand and said, it's not easy to deal with now, let's wait until she becomes the number one one day.After finishing speaking, Zhao Fenfang left the hotel in a hurry.

Until then, Jin Qiming still believed that Zhao Fenfang would become the top leader of Jingzhou sooner or later. It was precisely to implement Zhao Fenfang's top leader problem that after Jin Qiming left the European Hotel, he secretly learned about Xiao Bing's situation through a secretary of the senior leaders in Beijing. The main reason is to know: How much influence does Xiao Bing have on his father?Is it really possible to successfully send Zhao Fenfang to the position of Party Secretary of Jingzhou City?After Xiao Bing was arrested in the Pyramid, he, like Zhao Fenfang, believed that Beijing was going to interfere. Unexpectedly, after three days, he still hadn't heard anything, and he doubted Xiao Bing's influence on his father.Jin Qiming thought at the time: If Xiao Bing's influence on his father was not strong enough, he could consider coming forward to help influence the side through the network, even if he spent some money, he would admit it.

It is worthwhile to do so. Facts have proved that Zhao Fenfang is no worse than Bai Keshu. He has devoted himself to the Pyramid Group. His will put forward a plan to reorganize the pyramid, and even invited him to the Standing Committee to discuss it. I am afraid that even Bai Keshu will not do so well.This female mayor is undoubtedly smart, whose cadre is she now?Who to rely on?For whom?How to serve?I know everything.Jin Qiming believes that as long as Zhao Fenfang gets his wish and becomes the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, a new era belonging to the pyramid will begin.

However, five hours later, a phone call came from Beijing: That party and state leader did not have a son named Xiao Bing at all!As for the so-called old area foundation, it is an illegal money-gathering organization, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security are investigating. After answering the call, Jin Qiming was stunned. He never dreamed that things would turn out like this!Xiao Bing dared to use the banner of the party and state leader to bluff and deceive!The dignified mayor, Zhao Fenfang, was duped by a few crooks from Beijing!It's terrible, and it's too hateful, ten million, just thrown into the water like this, without even hearing the sound!What's even more frightening is that this ten million is very likely to bring Zhao Fenfang a lot of trouble, and eventually he and the Pyramid Group will be included!

A dinner for friends from military circles that night was ruined by a call from Beijing that reported the funeral. Jin Qiming only hurriedly ate a bowl of noodles before presuming that there was something urgent, and rushed back to the basement of the Pyramid Hotel alone, preparing to clean up the political trash again.Sitting in the car and driving all the way back, Jin Qiming was extremely depressed, his good feelings for Zhao Fenfang disappeared all of a sudden, and all he thought about was how to get out of his shell.The matter is very clear, the catastrophe of extinction has come suddenly and unexpectedly, it is like a bolt from the blue!If he reacts a little bit slowly tonight, it will cause an unforgivable big mistake for himself and his pyramid group!

After returning to the basement of the East District of D3, after thinking for a long time, Jin Qiming calmed down as much as possible, and called Zhao Fenfang's home. When Zhao Fenfang answered the phone, she got impatient: "Boss Jin, why is it you again? Do you want to talk to me again?" Jin Qiming hurriedly said: "No, no, Mayor Zhao, I'm just talking casually about the five hundred acres of land today. I may not actually buy it, so don't take it to heart! It's... it's this: Mayor Zhao, I discussed it with my friends from the group, and I think that our group’s donation of 10 million yuan to the foundation of the old district may need to hold a large-scale ceremony. What? Besides, I also want to promote our pyramid and advertise our pyramid!"

Zhao Fenfang was eating dinner, and she seemed to be chewing something, obviously a little unhappy: "Mr. Jin, why have you changed again? Ah? Didn't you say you didn't promote it yourself? Is it because of the reorganization of the Blue Sky Group this time?" If you don’t realize it, you feel that you’ve suffered a loss? Then you get emotional? Ah? I advise you not to be so short-sighted. It’s better to take a long-term view. As long as I stay in the leadership position of Jingzhou, I won’t be without you The development opportunities of the Pyramid Group, you, Mr. Jin, must be calm!"

Jin Qiming judged from this that Zhao Fenfang didn't know the inside story until now, but she couldn't tell the truth, so she insisted: "Mayor Zhao, I know all of this, but...but I still want to take this opportunity to do some publicity, you come here Host, Comrade Xiao Bing and I are both participating..." Only then did Zhao Fenfang say: "Let me tell you, I'm afraid Xiao Bing won't be able to participate. He was arrested by Liu Chongtian and Qi Quansheng!" Jin Qiming pretended to be surprised: "What's going on? Mayor Zhao, why didn't you just ask? They are your friends!"

Zhao Fenfang smiled and said, "Boss Jin, I don't just ask, but Xiao Bing's father doesn't just ask? Just wait and see!" Only then was Jin Qiming forced to remind: "Mayor Zhao, Xiao Bing came after you after all, and our Pyramid Group donated another 10 million to his foundation. This has too much to do with you. You must call Call Xiao Bing's house, at least report the situation!" Zhao Fenfang was still very numb: "What the hell am I doing with such leisure? Haven't I been arrested for only two days? Let's talk about it in a few more days!"

Jin Qiming scolded Zhao Fenfang for being stupid in his heart, and once again persuaded him kindly: "Mayor Zhao, what happened to Xiao Bing happened in Jingzhou after all, and you are also responsible for it! I suggest that you should tell Xiao Bing's father Take a look, including Xiao Bing's activities in our city." Only then did Zhao Fenfang become alert: "Jin Qiming, did you hear something? Ah?" Jin Qiming tried his best to cover up: "What can I hear? You told me about Xiao Bing's arrest! This is what I think: if Xiao Bing was arrested by mistake, after he is released, we will make a difference." The ceremony can be regarded as restoring Xiao Bing’s reputation! If Xiao Bing has engaged in any illegal activities, then I will not be polite: I have to report the 10 million donations made by the Pyramid Group to recover!”

Zhao Fenfang was furious: "Jin Qiming, you... you haven't crossed the river yet, so... the bridge is about to be demolished? Ah!" Jin Qiming was ashamed, but still hardened his heart to do his own garbage removal work. He believed that two days after Xiao Bing was arrested, Zhao Fenfang's phone should have been monitored: "Mayor Zhao, I really can't understand what you said. Donate to the foundation of the old districts, I did it according to your request, you said that the people in the old districts are great, they nurtured the revolution and the party during the war years, without the great historical contributions of the people in the old districts, there would be no new China, and there would be no reform and opening up Today, there is no such pyramid of mine! You let me give back to the land sacrificed by the martyrs. I donated this ten million to the people in the old district. Xiao Bing must use this ten million for the people in the old district. Otherwise, of course I have a reason to recover it!" Zhao Fenfang said: "Okay, then please go and chase after Xiao Bing!" After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone angrily. Jin Qiming put down the microphone, was stunned for a long time, smiled wryly, and silently turned on the computer. It is simply a great irony. On the computer-simulated political stock market, the political stock named Zhao Fenfang is still floating as the number one blue-chip stock selected by him. Its upward momentum is far better than that of Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian. , then straight up into the lofty political starry sky.Because of the soaring performance of Zhao Fenfang's blue-chip stock, the comprehensive political index of the market has broken through 3,000 points, and it has entered the main stage of the bull market, which means it has entered the harvest season.Now, this upward trend is coming to an end,--is it more than an end?What a catastrophic crash!This stock called Zhao Fenfang is definitely doomed, because she has never belonged to the strong Beijing sector, but a problem stock, and the problem is extremely serious. It is very likely that the market will be dragged into a long and frustrating bear market! Jin Qiming couldn't figure it out: such a smart woman, a mayor who has been in the mayor position for seven years, why is she so blind, so vigilant, and these little liars like Xiao Bing? When?Is she too power-hungry?Want to be the leader too much?And him?A shrewd and capable folk politician was also caught by Zhao Fenfang at the time, followed by this big scam. He paid 10 million yuan, but what he bought was a political bomb that could explode at any time! Xiao Bing had already made it very clear to him when he was visiting Xingxing Island: the money will not all be used for poverty alleviation in the old districts, but five million will be used to buy officials for Zhao Fenfang's activities.Did Xiao Bing tell Zhao Fenfang about this?More importantly, after Xiao Bing falls into the hands of Liu Chongtian and Quanquansheng, will he be honest and confess like this?If Xiao Bing made such an explanation, Zhao Fenfang would be dead! It seems that Zhao Fenfang has to be delisted for the time being. As long as she doesn't belong to the strong Beijing sector, she won't have much investment value. What's more, she has messed up with Liu Chongtian and Quan Shengquan, and the quality of the stock will be greatly affected!These two stocks, Quanquansheng and Liu Chongtian, seem to have grown too long. In order to deal with Zhao Fenfang, they have carried out political integration. The bottom is very solid and should be activated. Let's start with a daily limit for each of them. "Very good," Jin Qiming looked at the computer and praised himself in his heart, "As a rational market investor, one must not have personal likes and dislikes, let alone use personal likes and dislikes to affect the investment in power. Money investment pursues profit. Maximization, the investment in power must of course pursue the maximization of profits, and power that does not generate profits is power that is not worth investing in.” So, is it time to buy Quansheng again?Quanqisheng is only a local veteran blue-chip stock. It once had a strong sector linkage effect with another local stock, Bai Keshu. This old blue-chip stock has recently undergone a substantial power restructuring. The power reorganization of Liu Chongtian, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, has a different meaning. You can understand it as the introduction of the latest nano-concept.With the support of Liu Chongtian and Zheng Bingyi, the reorganized Quansheng Sheng will probably not fall. After this clean government storm passes, it will still sit firmly at the pinnacle of Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary's power, and its stock price will rise.Qi Qisheng couldn't tolerate Liu Chongtian back then, and he certainly couldn't tolerate Zhao Fenfang who almost openly seized power today. Zhao Fenfang will definitely leave Jingzhou and become a power that is not worth investing in. Of course, the prerequisite here is: if God Bless her, if nothing happens to her... Just as she was thinking about Zhao Fenfang, Zhao Fenfang called again, with a different tone: "President Jin? Where are you now?" Jin Qiming looked at the computer and said nonsense, "Oh, Mayor Zhao, I'm on my way, driving to the provincial capital..." Zhao Fenfang sternly said: "Jin Qiming, don't talk nonsense to me! I'm calling your office landline!" Only then did Jin Qiming understand, and hurriedly said, "I...I'm going...to leave soon!" Zhao Fenfang couldn't care less about getting angry, so she calmed down and said kindly: "Jin Qiming, don't leave, you probably already know that Xiao Bing and the others are in serious trouble, please go to the European Hotel immediately Come here, let's meet and discuss!" Jin Qiming became more and more reluctant to go, and declined, "Mayor Zhao, I really can't go, a friend in the provincial capital is waiting for me!" Zhao Fenfang yelled on the phone: "Jin Qiming, let me tell you: if I get double-regulated, you won't be able to escape!" Jin Qiming still pretended to be confused: "Mayor Zhao, this...what's going on? How could you be shuanggui?" Zhao Fenfang was almost yelling: "I just talked to Beijing on the phone, Xiao Bing is... a political fraudster!" Jin Qiming's heart was hardened, and he said calmly: "Oh, so I really have to report the crime!" After finishing speaking, he put down the phone. Are you really going to report the case?Who do I report to?If you go to report the crime, will you throw yourself into the trap?It's something to think about. Really not a pleasant memory.Ever since Liu Chongtian led the special case team into Jingzhou, his troubles have been endless. First, because of Bai Keshu's problem, he was asked to talk to by the special case team's investigators again and again; later, because of Qi Xiaoyan's problem, he was secretly watched by Zhao Fenfang. If Zhao Fenfang is shuanggui, will she confess the deeds of his subordinates?After all, Ji Xiangdong told Zhao Fenfang everything - Ji Xiangdong, a shameless political villain, not only sold him and the pyramid, but actually sold himself as well. However, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing terrible, no matter what Ji Xiangdong said to Zhao Fenfang, there is a reason for it, there is no evidence, it can only be interpreted as slander.The only evidence they can hold is to hide Qi Xiaoyan.This is nothing special, Qi Xiaoyan is not a criminal, neither he nor Pyramid has seen the arrest warrant, besides, Qi Xiaoyan escaped on his own initiative, and Ji Xiangdong sent him to his friend's villa out of respect for an old city party secretary. sympathy and support, of course we have to protect it, people always have to talk about feelings.When this matter spread to Quansheng, it might become another opportunity for him to buy Quansheng.As for Qi Xiaoyan being coerced by Wang Guochang to jump off the cliff, that was also Wang Guochang's business, and he had nothing to do with it. What did he have to do with the criminal activities directed by overseas underworld organizations? Yes, everything is in a precise plan, from overseas to domestic, from the provincial capital to Jingzhou, layers of protective nets have been set up in advance when the operation is carried out. So far, he has not stained a drop of blood on his hands , as innocent as an angel, who would dare to accuse him of organized criminal activities in the underworld?Who dares!He, Jin Qiming, is still a representative of Jingzhou People's Congress and a famous private entrepreneur. More importantly, the foundation of the combination of the pyramid group and power is far from being shaken. After all, there is only one Ji Xiangdong who betrayed the group. The other cadres trained by the group are still fighting for the best interests of the group in their respective positions. When Liu Chongtian single-handedly planned the raid of the villa by the public security and armed police, there were still cadres trained by the group who took the risk to send this information. Isn't this very comforting?After this storm, Jingzhou will still be the same Jingzhou in the past. If a Baike tree is killed, a new Baike tree will rise up; if a Zhao Fenfang falls, a new Zhao Fenfang will rise up; the Pyramid Group Huge wealth will continue to buy power and speculate on power, creating a good situation where the wild fire will never burn out and the spring breeze will regenerate.As long as this political system does not undergo a thorough reform, the so-called corruption problem cannot be fundamentally solved, and he and his pyramid group will remain invincible forever. Of course, this time the performance seems to be coming to an end, Zhao Fenfang may have an accident.However, no one can deny the excitement of the plot, and money has created miracles again!Who could have imagined it?When soldiers from the special case team came under pressure and more than a dozen corrupt officials Bai Keshu and Lin Yida fell into the net of justice, and when Liu Chongtian raised the banner of anti-corruption and sharpened his sword, Zhao Fenfang was actually trained as a senior cadre of the Pyramid Group in the wind and rain. !If Xiao Bing is not a liar, if Xiao Bing's promise is true, if Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian don't merge politically accidentally, if Qi Quansheng is also double-regulated by the provincial party committee, and then develops resentment and bites Liu Chongtian to death. If Mr. Liu Chongtian had avenged his personal revenge and helped Zhao Mieqi, and if Mr. Tu's cubs had done a better job, it wouldn't have ended like this!Goodness, what a play he had given them, they just didn't play it that way! With a deep sigh, Jin Qiming put an end to his good script. After ten o'clock at night, Jin Qiming, who was already as calm as water, picked up the phone and asked his chief legal counsel to come. While waiting for legal counsel, Jin Qiming blew up the simulated political stock market on the computer with an electronic bomb, deleted all materials related to the political turmoil, and made the final processing of the secret files that only he had. When Attorney Liu, chief legal advisor of Pyramid Group, walked in, Jin Qiming was already calmly writing a check. Lawyer Liu noticed that the denominations of these two checks were both large, one was 1 million and the other was 30 million. Jin Qiming handed the two checks to Lawyer Liu together, and said blankly: "Take it, Lawyer Liu, I will give you one million, which is the defense fee I paid you in advance, and the other 30 million please You use it to treat guests and give gifts, make relationships, and prepare for a lawsuit!" Lawyer Liu took the check and looked at Jin Qiming in astonishment: "Mr. Jin, this...what's wrong with this?" Jin Qiming smiled: "Lawyer Liu, don't be afraid, there is no trouble yet, but I am worried that there will be trouble, big trouble! I may be framed by Liu Chongtian, Quan Qisheng and his gang, and our Pyramid Group may also be framed by them! " Lawyer Liu understood: "Mr. Jin, you are really good, and you are in front of them again!" After saying that, he put away the 30 million check, but returned the 1 million check to Jin Qiming. Sincerely say, "Mr. Jin, I am the chief legal counsel you hired, and I am obliged to provide legal support for you and the Pyramid Group. Besides, you have paid the annual legal counsel fee of 500,000 yuan as scheduled. My legal firm and I So I haven't done much for you and the group, so I can't charge you any more defense fees." Jin Qiming supported Lawyer Liu's shoulder, and patted the check into Lawyer Liu's hand: "Lawyer Liu, you don't have to be so polite. Let me reiterate, the one million yuan is just an advance payment. After the lawsuit is over, the group will have other funds." Report, my chief financial officer will find you!" Lawyer Liu just put away the one million check: "Okay, Mr. Jin, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." With an inviolable solemnity on his face, Jin Qiming began to explain the task: "Lawyer Liu, if a lawsuit starts, you must have the confidence to win, you must defend your innocence, and you must prepare to bring it to the provincial court. Go to the city and call the Supreme People's Court of Beijing! You know who you should go to, so I won't say more; you must spend the money I give you, and don't let me save it; There is no obligation to save money, and 30 million is not enough, so I will ask my chief financial officer for support. I must make it clear in court that I, Jin Qiming, created a miracle in Jingzhou’s reform and opening up from scratch. I and the Pyramid Group worked hard in the cracks Today's glory has been achieved! Let the judges and the whole society know that it was not easy to run a private enterprise in the past. A small section chief or even a section chief in a government department could grab my neck and strangle me in the cradle Medium. There is an example I told you in the past, and you can continue to cite it: In the early years, when our sales department made a decoration, five or six batches of uniformed personnel came to force fees. In this case, what should I do? Pyramid What should I do? There is only one way to go, and that is to conform to the national conditions, treat guests and give gifts, and even give money to some corrupt officials! In this way, I will have problems, and the group will have problems, and some people will say that I bought that power……" Lawyer Liu smiled knowingly, and greeted warmly: "Mr. Jin, you are right, so right. In fact, you and the Pyramid Group are lambs at the mercy of power and long-term victims of the current severe corruption. and the biggest victim..." Jin Qiming waved his hand and interrupted Lawyer Liu with a smile: "So, you have to focus on this: I and my pyramid group are in a country where the market economy mechanism is not yet sound, and a private enterprise that is not good for our own nation. A country that grants national treatment, a country where power rent-seeking has become a common phenomenon, has come to this day with its own tenacity and persistence. The conclusion of you and the legal team should be this: this is a Chinese private entrepreneur pursuing social The story of the truth about the socialist market economy. Oh, Lawyer Liu, I am sorry, as a party, I ask you to truthfully record the facts I described below!" Lawyer Liu responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay", hurriedly took out his notebook, and began to work hard for the generous remuneration he had already received and will continue to receive... Wu Sanyuan, chairman and president of Sanyuan Group, is a The vigorous and resolute person, after learning of the reorganization intention of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, gave up the upcoming trip to Europe and hurried to Jingzhou to start with the executive deputy mayor Zhou Shanben, Tian Jian, the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission, and the State-owned Assets Bureau. Substantive negotiations on the restructuring of the Blue Sky Group.That night, Qi Quansheng and Liu Chongtian met and hosted a banquet for Wu Sanyuan and his party at the International Holiday Center. They gave warm encouragement and wished the two sides a successful negotiation and strived for a win-win situation.It was almost ten o'clock when the banquet ended, Liu Zhongtian dragged Quansheng into his car, and quietly told Quansheng that he was going to see someone.When the car drove all the way to the hospital of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Quan Sheng realized that the person Liu Chongtian proposed to see was actually his daughter Qi Xiaoyan. However, after entering the gate of the public security hospital, Qi Qisheng hesitated again, stopped involuntarily, and said to Liu Chongtian hesitantly: "...Chongtian, forget it, I think it's better not to go, it will affect the people's life well." Great, people know about it, and they are going to attack us for political compromise! You can let the special case team deal with the matter of Xiaoyan, and we'd better leave it alone!" Liu Chongtian smiled bitterly and said: "Old Qi, how can you ignore it? After all, Xiaoyan is your daughter, and... this is the situation again!" Quan Qisheng was puzzled, staring at Liu Chongtian and asked: "What's the situation? Chongtian, didn't you say that Xiaoyan has passed the dangerous period?" Liu Chongtian was silent for a moment, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Old Qi, first of all, I want to review with you. I have neglected my duty on Xiaoyan's issue. Our special case team has checked everywhere, but I didn't expect that she would be arrested by Jin Qiming. , Ji Xiangdong hid in the mountains, you reminded me. What's more terrible is that when Director Zhao and the others took action, they didn't protect Xiaoyan well, and something happened to Xiaoyan..." Qi Quansheng interrupted Liu Chongtian and said: "I know all these things, you don't need to talk about it anymore, brother, she escaped by herself, she did it on her own, and I can't blame you at all! You can just say it, right? Yan's life is still in danger? Isn't it?" Liu Chongtian shook his head: "The dangerous period is really over, but the sequelae are serious, very serious. The doctor told me today that when Xiaoyan fell from the mountain, she landed on her back, her spine was severely damaged, and she was unable to recover. She was paralyzed... ...it's a foregone conclusion..." Quan Quansheng was stunned: "This...that is to say, Xiao Yanyi...can't live without a wheelchair for the rest of her life? Huh?" Liu Chongtian nodded: "Old Qi, Xiaoyan doesn't know yet, you... you'd better not say it in front of her." Quan Quansheng looked up at the night sky, was stunned for a long time, then sighed and asked: "Chongtian, this...is this retribution?" Liu Chongtian immediately understood the meaning of Quansheng, and hurriedly said: "Hey, Lao Qi, don't say that, we are all Communists, how can we believe this! Yueru's car accident was an accident, today Xiaoyan is from Falling off the mountain is also an accident!" Quan Qisheng turned around resolutely, and said sadly: "Forget it, Chongtian, then... let's go back! Since... Now that this is the case, don't look at it! Just trust me, I... ...I will face up to this reality and treat it correctly. Haven't you and Yueru survived seven years? I...I will also survive..." Liu Chongtian couldn't continue to force himself, he sighed, and followed Quansheng, turned around and walked out the door. After getting in the car, Qi Qisheng said in a hoarse and bitter voice: "Have you figured out the kidnapper's situation?" Liu Chongtian reported: "I figured it out. Deputy Director Zhao reported that the crime was committed by the wanted criminal Wang Guochang. Wang Guochang is the leader of the underworld organization. He has several lives in his hands. He kidnapped Yang Hongzhi and killed Qi Yuyu. It was all planned by this person.” Quan Quansheng looked at the night scene outside the car window, and asked clearly: "What? Is it okay with Jin Qiming and Ji Xiangdong?" Liu Chongtian is very objective: "According to what we know, it really has nothing to do with Jin Qiming and Ji Xiangdong. Wang Guochang's boss is surnamed Tu, and his name is Tu Xingang. He is a backbone member of a gangster organization in Hong Kong. Wang Guochang and his gang were arrested in Jingzhou Later, as soon as this Tu Xin got wind of it, he fled from Hong Kong to South America, and he may be in Brazil now. At present, Hong Kong police and Interpol are chasing him..." Qi Quansheng looked away from the car, and stared at Liu Chongtian with some annoyance: "Chongtian, are you too bookish? Huh? Why are overseas underworld organizations so interested in Jingzhou? How can they be so interested in you, the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Interested? Want to frame you and kill you? Ah? Why do you want to hold Xiaoyan hostage and threaten me? This obviously involves the interests of the Pyramid Group, and the behind-the-scenes commanders can only be Jin Qiming and Ji Xiangdong! Comrade Zhongtian , I don’t think any of them can be forgiven, so it’s time to close the net!” Liu Chongtian thought for a while: "Old Qi, your analysis makes sense, and I also speculate like this, but you must remember, we are a country ruled by law, we must act according to the law, there is no criminal evidence of criminal suspects, any analysis and speculation They are all powerless!" Quan Qi said angrily: "Why not? Did Qi Xiaoyan fall into the hands of Jin Qiming and Ji Xiangdong? Did Jin Qiming force Qi Xiaoyan to write the two letters to me? How did Xiaoyan fall into the hands of Wang Guochang and his gang?" Is it still possible to arrest people? This is a criminal offense, and it is no longer the business of your task force. If you don’t arrest people tonight, let our city bureau arrest them!” Liu Chongtian persuaded: "Old Qi, calm down. I don't mean not to arrest him, but to wait until we have stronger evidence. Besides, Jin Qiming is still a representative of the Municipal People's Congress, and the Municipal People's Congress will not hold a meeting to revoke his qualifications. We are breaking the law if we arrest him! I think we can consider imposing double regulations on Ji Xiangdong first, but if Jin Qiming wants to arrest him, he has to wait for the city people's congress to hold a meeting, what do you think?" Quan Quansheng reluctantly agreed, but vented again: "Chongtian, I won't be able to work as the secretary of the municipal party committee for long anyway. If I follow my old temper, I will fucking seal down the Pyramid Group tonight and convict Jin Qiming and Ji Xiangdong. Pull them all out of their kennels..." Liu Chongtian said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Old man, maybe I won't be able to work for long. If that party and state leader doesn't stick to principles and protect his precious son, I might commit the crime of 'illegal arrest'. It is likely to step down before you!" Qi Qisheng was serious: "Chongtian, why are you here again? Didn't I say it? The arrest of Xiao Bing has nothing to do with you, it's entirely a matter of our Jingzhou City, and it's an action ordered by me, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, for the Public Security Bureau to take." , Let that leader settle accounts with me!" In fact, until this moment, neither Liu Chongtian nor Quansheng knew Xiao Bing's real identity, and both of them were still taking huge political risks.After Xiao Bing was arrested, he still regarded himself as the son of the party and state leader, showing off his grandeur. The three Beijingers who were arrested at the same time as Xiao Bing also confirmed Xiao Bing's special identity.Facing the tape, Xiao Bing confessed that he accidentally leaked secrets because he drank too much alcohol, and asked the Jingzhou City Committee to punish him for leaking secrets.Both Liu Chongtian and Qi Quansheng knew that the crime of leaking secrets could not be dealt with for this kind of drunken nonsense. They had to release him immediately, or implement Xiao Bing's criminal facts, obtain criminal evidence, and then report to the provincial party committee and party and state leaders. .Now that people have been arrested, of course they can't be released like this, and they can only do it to the end.So, early this morning, Quan Sheng personally arranged for a deputy director of the Municipal Bureau to bring a few investigators to the old district foundation according to the office location on Xiao Bing's business card. When Qi Quansheng's family broke up in the public servant's first district, Qi Qisheng thought of this matter again, and suggested to Liu Chongtian worriedly: "...Chongtian, do you think it is up to me to call Comrade Bingyi? Xiao Bing This matter is too important after all.” Liu Chongtian shook his head straight: "Don't, don't, Lao Qi, you still don't want to make this call. It is because of the important relationship that we can't report to Comrade Bingyi! Report to Comrade Bingyi, what should Comrade Bingyi do? Isn't the investigator already Have you been sent to Beijing? Let’s find out first, even if Xiao Bing has no other criminal activities, he can’t set up the second organization department in Jingzhou!” Finally, he kindly said, “Oh, yes, Lao Qi , Xiaoyan is paralyzed, you'd better not tell Yaju for now." Qi Quansheng nodded with a heavy heart, shook hands with Liu Chongtian, turned and walked into his courtyard.Unexpectedly, just as Liu Chongtian got into the car and was about to leave, a police car with its headlights on rushed forward and stopped abruptly. Liu Chongtian instinctively realized that something urgent had happened, rolled down the window and asked, "What's going on?" The Deputy Director Li who was heading to Beijing immediately jumped out of the police car: "Oh, it's Secretary Liu, why are you here? I'll report to Secretary Qi! We really got it right, this Xiao Bing is not a party member at all. The son of the nation's leader, and..." Liu Chongtian's eyes lit up: "Okay, don't talk about it here, let's talk about it at Secretary Qi's house!" In the living room of Qi's house, Deputy Director Li didn't even drink his saliva, and began to report: "Secretary Qi, Secretary Liu, your eyes are so sharp, you can see through this scam at a glance! Xiao Bing is too ridiculous, let alone nothing The son of the party and state leaders, not even the son of the chief! His father just passed away the year before last, and the biggest official in his life was the leader of the village group! The old district foundation does exist, but it has not registered as a society. I work in a luxurious building in Beijing. It has a great reputation. There is an industrial head office under the foundation, which is quite bluffing. The owner said that they will go in sooner or later. Some clues were provided by the owner. To be on the safe side, we looked for it again. Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, comrades of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau said that they have noticed the suspicious situation of this group of people and are preparing to file a case for investigation. Xiao Bing's real name is Hong Xiaobing, and he served as a soldier in the Beijing Armed Police Force for two years. Posing as the son of the head of the Armed Police Force, he was suspected of engaging in fraudulent activities, was sentenced to two years in prison by a military court, and was expelled from the army. His current identity is a farmer..." This is so comical, Liu Chongtian and Quansheng couldn't help laughing out loud, tears came out of their laughter. Deputy Director Li continued on, with a serious expression on his face: "...two leaders, don't laugh, this group of scammers are powerful, and they are all party and government officials from the local government! A deputy general manager of the head office happened to hit our gunpoint. We conducted a surprise interrogation, and this guy took all the tricks: they were not simply fraudulent, they also ran and bought officials for others, and even let them buy several ! Among them is a major leading cadre of our Jingzhou!" Quan Quansheng looked at Liu Chongtian calmly: "Is it our Mayor Zhao Fenfang who wants to be the leader?" Deputy Director Li said: "Yes, Zhao Fenfang bought Jingzhou City Party Committee Secretary, and Jin Qiming's Pyramid Group will pay 10 million on his behalf!" Liu Chongtian asked calmly: "Is it just the confession of the deputy general manager? Is there any other relevant evidence?" Deputy Director Li took out a copy of the list from the file: "Yes! Two leaders, please read it for yourself. The third place on the second page of this promotion form is Zhao Fenfang. It is clearly written. The mayor, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, I hope to be the secretary of the Jingzhou municipal party committee. It is also specially indicated in the brackets: the secretary of the provincial and urban party committee can also be considered, and the party secretary of other prefecture-level cities is not considered. The payment account table is in the fifth The page also made it very clear that 800,000 was used to donate two Hope Primary Schools, 8.5 million was the profit from the project of the Industrial Corporation under the foundation, and 700,000 was the cost of buying an official. Zhao Fenfang was noted on the account sheet Project-specific communication fee." After reading the promotion form and account statement, Quan Quansheng silently handed it to Liu Chongtian and said, "She has come this far!" Liu Chongtian read it carefully, and was stunned for a long time with a sullen face. With a "slap", he slapped the material on the coffee table: "Despicable!" Quan Quansheng let out a "hum": "It's expected, the desire for power is overpowering, you're desperate, you don't even want your face!" Liu Chongtian was still in deep shock, and said in a low voice: "Yes, yes, no wonder she and Jin Qiming had such a heated fight, so she waved the flag for Jin Qiming, so it turned out that Jin Qiming was asking Jin Qiming to buy an official for her! I bought it into the hands of political crooks like Xiao Bing, and the 10 million made me a net profit of 8.5 million!" Quan Quansheng remembered Jin Qiming again: "Chongtian, I think this Jin Qiming can be arrested!" Liu Chongtian thought for a while: "I'm afraid not, at least we can't arrest Zhao Fenfang before we take measures against Zhao Fenfang, it will scare the snake away. " 齐全盛认可了刘重天的分析：“那么，我们就向秉义同志和省委汇报一下吧！” 刘重天点点头：“好吧，尽快汇报，我们最好辛苦一下，连夜去趟省城！” 出门去省城之前，齐全盛和刘重天再三向李副局长交代，对赵芬芳用金启明的钱买官一事，务必要严格保密，如发生泄密的情况，唯他是问。李副局长说，他知道这件事很严重，在北京时就向知情的办案人员这样交代过。同时建议，对金启明上手段，实行二十四小时监控。齐全盛和刘重天商量了一下，同意了，但是，仍要求李副局长对金启明实行监控时不动声色。 同车赶往省城的路上，刘重天颇有感触，对齐全盛开玩笑说：“老齐啊，我再也想不到，镜州专案会办出这么个结果，没把你这个老对手老伙计办进去，倒是把赵芬芳办进去了！” 齐全盛也开玩笑道：“重天，你别贪天之功据为己有，赵芬芳是你办进去的吗？是她自己跳出来的嘛！她太想当一把手了！”这话说完，开玩笑的心思却没有了，脸沉了下来，像自问，又像问刘重天，“我是不是也有责任呢？她怎么就会走到这一步？怎么会呢？” 刘重天本来想说：你是有责任，你这个市委书记如果不把手上的权力搞到绝对的程度，如果能真正实行党的民主集中制原则，实行集体领导的原则，赵芬芳也许就不会这么热衷于当一把手了。然而，转念又想，这话太刺激，现在说也不好，刘重天便忍着没说，只道：“从根本上说，赵芬芳从来就不是一个共产党人，只是一个政客而已，她走到今天这一步是在情理之中的。” 齐全盛连连摆手：“不对，不对，重天，我是有责任的！七年前我向陈百川同志要绝对权力，七年中我这个市委书记说一不二，给赵芬芳的印象一定太深刻了！她就产生了错误认识，以为当了一把手就可以一手遮天，就可以为所欲为，所以才不顾一切地要做一把手！” 刘重天没想到，齐全盛会如此剖析自己，动容地一把拉住齐全盛的手：“老伙计，这也正是我想说又不好说的哟！你能自己认识到这一点，说明你不糊涂嘛！”却又道，“但是，不能一概而论，这里有个本质上的区别：你向陈百川要绝对权力是想为镜州的老百姓干大事，干实事，也真把这些大事、实事干成了；而赵芬芳谋求绝对权力想干什么呢？恐怕不是为镜州的老百姓干事吧？她只会为金字塔，为金启明干事！蓝天集团重组的事实已经证明了这一点！” 齐全盛感慨道：“老兄，这就是问题的可怕之处啊，如果真让赵芬芳掌握了这种不受制约的绝对权力，我们这个国家，我们这个党，我们这个民族就太危险了，太危险了……” 刘重天说：“赵芬芳掌握了绝对权力可怕，别人掌握了这种绝对权力也同样可怕啊！” 在两个老搭档推心置腹的交谈中，专车驰入了夜幕下沉睡的省城。 车上省城主干道中山路时，刘重天看了一下表，这时，是凌晨四时二十分。 这个时间很尴尬，虽说黎明就在眼前，长夜却仍未过去，叫醒省委书记郑秉义汇报工作显然不合适，况且郑秉义也不可能在这个时候召集省委常委开常委会，研究赵芬芳的问题。刘重天便让司机将车开到了自己家里，要齐全盛先到他家休息一下再说。车到刘家楼下，齐全盛怕搅扰邹月茹，坚持要和司机一起在车上休息。刘重天说什么也不依，硬拉着齐全盛进了自己家门，动手为齐全盛下面条，还从冰箱里拿了些熟菜，几瓶啤酒，和齐全盛一起悄悄喝了起来。 尽管二人轻手轻脚，邹月茹还是被惊动了。 睡房和客厅之间的门半开着，邹月茹从半开着的门中看到了背对她坐着的丈夫刘重天，看到了侧面坐着的齐全盛，觉得十分惊奇。她再也想不到，丈夫会在深夜将齐全盛带到家里，而且又这么亲密无间地坐在他们家里一桌喝酒，一时间，恍若置身于一个十分久远的旧梦之中。 是的，实在太久远了，只有九年前他们一个书记一个市长刚到镜州一起搭班子的时候才有过这种情景，才这么亲密无间地在一起喝过酒。那时，她还是一个健全的人，她给他们炒菜，给他们斟酒，然后，就默默在一旁坐着，听他们说道些工作上的事：怎么把镜州搞上去，怎么规划发展这个面向海洋的大都市，说到激动时，两个大权在握的男人会像孩子一样扒着脖子搂着腰，放荡无形，呵呵大笑。她记得，齐全盛借着酒意说过这样的话：“合作就是要同志加兄弟，同志讲原则，兄弟讲感情，有这种同志加兄弟的关系，就不愁搞不好这个镜州……” 眼泪不知不觉流了下来，窗外的天光已经放亮，邹月茹在床上再也呆不住了，抓着床上的扶手，一点点摸索着，想坐到床前的轮椅上，摇着轮椅走到这两个男人面前，像九年前那样尽一下主妇的义务。不料，瘫痪的身子太不争气，手已经抓住轮椅了，却还是软软倒在了地上。 这番动静惊动了刘重天和齐全盛，两个男人放下手上的酒杯，全跑了过来搀扶她。 邹月茹含泪笑着：“齐书记，我……我没事，我还想亲手给你们炒个菜……” 夜幕一点点隐去，黎明的曙光渐渐逼到了窗前，死亡的气息已清晰可辨了。 是政治上的死亡，无法避免，也无法挽救，连金启明都看出来了，都在准备后事了，她赵芬芳又何尝看不出来？她一失足落成千古恨，已经制造了中国政坛上一个从未出现过的丑闻！ 天哪，这是多么可怕的失足，多么不可饶恕的失足，连上帝都不会原谅她！她已经是市长了，而且做了七年市长，为什么非要这么迫不及待做一把手呢？如果这是别人为她设套，逼她不得不往这个陷阱里跳还有情可原，她是自己给自己做下了绞套，自己吊死了自己。 政治死亡始于一个错误的判断，齐全盛和刘重天的历史关系把她的思维引入了歧途。按常理说，杀气腾腾扑向镜州的刘重天必将置齐全盛于死地而后快，对齐全盛绝不会手软；而齐全盛以他的风格个性，也必将竭尽全力进行政治反扑，咬得刘重天遍体鳞伤；一次渔翁得利的政治机会是显而易见的。然而，出乎意料之外的是，郑秉义制约了刘重天，陈百川则把住了齐全盛，遏止了这场本应惨烈无比的政坛血战。于是，她这个善于进行政治赶海的可怜渔翁就倒了大霉，倒了血霉，被鹬的长嘴钳住了喉咙，被蚌夹住了腿部，被无可奈何地拖进了生死难卜的政治泥潭。 事情搞到这一步倒还并不可怕，凭她的机智，凭她多年政治赶海的经验，也许还有一条生路可走，可她真是太不清醒了，已经身陷泥潭之中了，竟又饮鸩止渴，上了肖兵这条贼船。 肖兵是两年前她在北京开会时认识的，是个什么会已经记不住了，能记住的倒是长城饭店的那次宴会。宴会的东道主是她二表哥，一个土里土气的邻省县级市副市长，她向来看不起这个只会拍马屁的二表哥，本不屑于去凑这种热闹，可二表哥非让她去捧场，说是要介绍个重要朋友和她认识一下。这个朋友就是肖兵，一个文文静静的小伙子，随和中透着傲慢，面对上万元一桌的山珍海味，吃得很少，话说得也很少。二表哥简直像肖兵的儿子，频频举杯，恭敬地向肖兵敬酒，一口一个汇报，一口一个请示，送肖兵上车时，腰几乎就没敢直起过。她觉得很奇怪，待肖兵挂着军牌的奔驰开走之后才问，这是什么人？值得你这么低三下四？二表哥亮出了肖兵的底牌：人家是一位党和国家领导人的儿子，能在北京接见我们一次可真不容易啊！ 那时，赵芬芳还没想到这位党和国家领导人的儿子会给她的仕途带来什么决定性的影响，心里没把肖兵当回事，只把他看作自己人生旅途中的一次偶然奇遇。真正让她知道肖兵使用价值的时候，已是今年三月份了。三月份的一天，她突然接到二表哥一个电话，说是要带团到镜州考察学习，见面才知道，二表哥竟然从排名最后的一个副市长，一跃成了市委书记。尽管是县级市的市委书记，总是一把手，颐指气使，意气风发。私下闲谈时，二表哥透露了一个惊人的秘密：正是那位肖兵把二表哥送上了这个县级市一把手的位置。二表哥很替她抱不平，说是七年市长了，早该动动了，问她能不能让镜州的企业捐个千儿八百万给肖兵，往上再走一步？她当时笑而不语，努力保持着一个经济大市市长的矜持，心里却掀起了从未有过的狂风巨澜。 一个月后去北京参加经济工作会议，她忍不住按肖兵两年前留下的名片给肖兵打了个电话，然而，时过境迁，电话变成了空号。她没办法了，又打电话找二表哥，终于讨到了肖兵的新电话。和肖兵在电话里约了三四次，才如愿在北京饭店贵宾楼完成了一次政治宴请。在这次宴请中，她变成了两年前的二表哥，镜州经济大市市长的矜持和尊严全没了，只管赔笑，笑得脸上的肌肉都僵硬了。也就是在那次宴请之后，她开始了和肖兵的实质性接触，说出了自己心头的渴望。肖兵因为她二表哥的关系，没有怀疑她的诚意，理所当然地把她纳入了自己的操作项目之中，明确告诉她：找个企业捐个一千万，五百万为她搞进步项目，五百万捐给老区人民。于是，便有了后来肖兵一行的两次镜州之行和金启明金字塔集团对老区基金会的一千万捐款。 不可原谅的致命错误就这样犯下了，肖兵成了她命运之中的克星，一下子克死了她。 八小时前，那位党和国家领导人办公室已做了严正回答，领导人根本没有这个儿子，这是一起严重的政治诈骗事件，领导人办公室要求镜州方面立即拘捕肖兵，予以严格审查，并将审查情况和结果及时报来。她当时还不相信，说是看到过肖兵出示的和领导人的合影。领导人办公室的同志说，这种事过去就发生过，那是电脑合成制造出来的假照片，你们的技术部门完全可以鉴定出来。 嗣后的八小时是阴森而漫长的，赵芬芳觉得，暗夜中的时间在无形之中已变成了一部残酷的绞肉机，把她生存的希望一点点绞没了：金启明嗅到了危险的气息，开始金蝉脱壳了；齐全盛、刘重天安排市公安局李副局长带人飞赴北京了，真相大白已在预料之中；二表哥那里也出了事，打电话找二表哥试探虚实时，接电话的却是二表嫂，二表嫂在电话里小心翼翼地说，昨天下午纪委书记突然把二表哥找去谈话，直到今天都没回来。再打电话给齐全盛、刘重天，二人竟然都不在家，——深更半夜不在家，会到哪里去？惟一的可能就是去省委汇报。也许李副局长从北京回来了，已经把肖兵的老窝掏了。再打电话找吉向东时，吉向东也没了踪影。 赵芬芳心里凉透了，分明感到灭顶之灾正在房内电子钟可怕的“滴答”声中悄悄来临。 就是在这样的揪心夺魄之夜，丈夫钱初成仍是彻夜不归，而且连个电话都不来，她身边连个商量倾诉的对象都没有！打手机钱初成的电话关机，打呼机钱初成不回机。这个臭男人肯定又钻进了那个小婊子的被窝，像往常一样故意躲她！她已走上了万劫不复的绝路，这个臭男人竟还在另一个女人怀里寻欢作乐，这使她不但在政治上完全绝望了，也对生活完全绝望了。 黎明前的最后一刻，赵芬芳什么都不想了，满眼含泪给远在美国的儿子勇勇打了个电话。 勇勇也是个不争气的东西，真是什么种结什么果，有什么样的老子便有什么样的儿子，二十多岁的大人了，却还是这么不懂事，没问问妈妈突然打电话来有什么大事？开口又是他的汽车，要她尽快想法汇八千美元过去，说是已看好了一台二手跑车，在国内价值几十万。 赵芬芳泪水一下子涌出来了，再也控制不住情绪，气愤地骂了起来：“……钱勇，你还是不是个东西啊？啊？除了问我要钱，就不能说点别的吗？你知道不知道，妈这一夜是怎么过来的？妈在想些什么？你老子只知道他自己，你也只知道你自己！你……你们谁管过我的死活！” 钱勇被骂呆了，过了好半天才赔着小心问：“妈，你是不是又……又和我爸干架了？” 赵芬芳先还压抑着呜咽，后来便对着电话哭出了声，越哭越凶。 钱勇害怕了：“妈，你别哭，不行就和我爸分手算了，这样凑合也……也没意思……” 赵芬芳停止了哭泣，哽咽着说：“勇勇，不要再说你爸了，还是说说你吧！你这阵子还好吗？是不是按你爸的要求去打工了？还有你那个女朋友，能跟你走到底，过一辈子吗？” 钱勇在电话里说了起来，足足说了有十几分钟，主要话题全在自己那位台湾高雄的女朋友身上，对打工问题绝口不谈，且又婉转地提到，是他女朋友看上了那台二手跑车。 赵芬芳叹息着说：“勇勇，你的心思我知道，这台跑车你可以买，买了也可以送给你女朋友，但不能用我给你的钱，你必须自己去打工，哪怕是到餐馆端盘子洗碗。要记住，你是大人了，已经独立生活了，不能再靠妈了；你爸靠不住，妈也不能……不能养你一辈子啊。” 钱勇可怜巴巴地问：“妈，这么说，你……你不会再给我寄钱了？是不是？” 赵芬芳流着泪道：“不，不，勇勇，妈还会最后给你一笔钱，是妈的全部积蓄，一共五十四万美元，妈已经在去年去美国考察时悄悄存到了休斯顿花旗银行，是用的你的名字，密码我会让你姥姥日后告诉你。不过，这笔钱不是给你寻欢作乐的，是留给你将来创业的！你一定要记住：不拿到绿卡绝不要回国，如果有机会获得美国国籍，一定要牢牢抓住！在任何时候都不要相信国内的政治宣传，包括妈妈过去和你说过的一些话。勇勇，这意思你能听明白吗？” 钱勇没听明白：“妈，你今天怎么了？咋净说这些话？过去你不是说过吗？最好的发展机遇在中国，在大陆。你还说国内正从全世界招揽人才，海外归国的人才从政的机遇很好……” 赵芬芳厉声打断了钱勇的话头：“只要这个政权一天不垮台，你就一天不要回来，更不许从政！中国政治是部残忍的绞肉机，我不愿看着你被绞成一团肉酱，这话你一定要记住！” 钱勇不敢多问了，信口扯了些别的，还扯到了好莱坞的一部新电影上，最后的话题又转到了钱：“……妈，那五十四万美元我什么时候才能拿到啊？你不知道，现在学生办公司的事多着呢，如果这五十四万美元现在给我，我就不要打工了，可以考虑马上成立一家公司……” 赵芬芳再也听不下去了，默默放下了电话。 ——对儿子的期望也成了泡影，赵芬芳开始怀疑自己这一生不遗余力的奋斗到底值不值？为政治奋斗，眼看要当上市委书记了，却又无可奈何地栽进了致命的政治深渊；为儿子奋斗，却培养了这么一个只会花钱的纨绔子弟。仅收受外商五十四万美元这一件事，就足以判她的死刑了，她冒了这么大的风险，换来的除了伤心失望，还是伤心失望，天理不公啊……然而，毕竟是自己的儿子，自己身上掉下的肉，哪怕是个白痴，这五十四万美元也足够他活过未来的余生了，作为一个舐犊的母亲，她尽心了，尽职了，到九泉之下也无愧无悔了。 漫长的不眠之夜终于过去了，心如止水的赵芬芳喝了杯牛奶，洗了洗脸，对着镜子细心打理一番之后，夹着公文包照常出门，上了来接自己上班的专车。惟一的不同是，这日上车前，赵芬芳冲着自己已住了近十年的市级小楼格外留意地多看了几眼。赵芬芳自杀之后，给赵芬芳开车的司机回忆说，当时他就注意到，看小楼的那一瞬间，赵芬芳的眼神中充满眷恋。 赵芬芳生命的最后一天并不肃静，市物资集团几十名离退休老同志堵在市政府大门口，斗胆拦住了她的专车，要向她“汇报工作”。赵芬芳没听几句便明白了事情原委：这帮老同志原是市物资局机关干部，属事业编制，物资局改制为企业集团后，他们的退休工资发放突然成了问题，企业集团往外推，劳动保护部门不愿接，扯皮已经扯了一年多了。 赵芬芳心情本来就不好，火气格外大，坐在车上斥责老同志们说：“……这事也要我亲自管吗？谁扯皮你们就去找谁！如果这种小事也要我管，我这个市长就不要干了！” 老同志们说：“赵市长，这不是小事啊，我们半年没拿到退休金了，要饿肚子了！” 赵芬芳不为所动，手一挥：“走吧，走吧，找你们原单位去，他们会给你们说法的！” 老同志们忍无可忍，把车团团围住了，非要她这个当市长的给他们一个说法。 赵芬芳偏不给这个说法，车门一关，让司机给有关部门打了一个电话。
