Chapter 4 4. Dust cleaning
The provincial office in Beijing has been redecorated, and it has a new look from the inside to the outside. The hotel of the provincial office in Beijing is called Qingjiang Hotel, which is open to the public. Because of the uniqueness of the hotel, the business is not bad.
When Ding Nengtong parked the car in front of the Qingjiang Hotel, Xin Zejin was waiting in front of the hotel, accompanied by Bai Lina and Xin Zejin's younger brother, Xin Zeyin.
Ding Nengtong came late, bowed his hands in apology and said, "I kept you waiting for so long!"
Xin Zejin said enthusiastically: "Brother Ding, you are really a servant of the world!"
After exchanging pleasantries, several people walked into the hotel. The private room was filled with tables full of sumptuous food and drink, and it seemed that Ding Nengtong would be waiting.After several people were seated, Bai Lina poured wine for everyone, and Xin Zejin toasted and jokingly said, "Nengtong, I heard that you gave Huang Mengran a blow as soon as you got off the plane? Even Lina got away with it."
After Xin Zejin finished speaking, he glanced lewdly at Bai Lina and laughed.
Ding Nengtong also glanced at Bai Lina and said, "Lina has gone through a lot and can understand me."
Bai Lina said knowingly: "Director Xin doesn't know something. Our boss doesn't like publicity the most. It's not that Huang Mengran doesn't know. No one can stop him from hitting the gun."
Xin Zeyin held up his wine glass and said, "Congratulations to Director Ding on his re-assignment. As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed. Brother, Lina, let's toast Director Ding together!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and all drank it down.
The reason why Xin Zejin condescends to Ding Nengtong is because Ding Nengtong was able to get out of the "Xiao Jia case" without any injuries. learned from.
Xin Zejin belongs to the kind of little man who has a heart but no guts. Although he is also an official at the department level, he has been in Beijing for more than ten years and has remained where he is, and he has never improved.
Xin Zejin dreamed of turning the Provincial Office in Beijing into a five-star hotel, but he still couldn't get his wish. He wanted to be like the directors of other provincial offices in Beijing, and get the title of deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, but he didn't succeed. wish.Seeing that Ding Nengtong was appointed as the director of the Municipal Office in Beijing for a few years, the Beijing Office of Dongzhou City soon surpassed the Provincial Office in Beijing. It was far superior to the Provincial Office in Beijing in terms of the connection between the top and bottom, and in terms of hardware and image. Xin Zejin felt very uncomfortable.
When Xin Zejin was at a loss for what to do with jealousy, a major case happened in Dongzhou that shocked the whole country. Three mayors were killed in a row, and nearly a hundred officials were sentenced. He is engaged in both real estate and five-star hotels. He also worked as the secretary of the corrupt mayor Xiao Honglin. He has a close relationship with the corrupt executive deputy mayor Jia Chaoxuan. He also calls brothers and sisters with the gangster Chen Fuzhong. what!
Sure enough, Ding Nengtong had an accident soon, but he was released within a few days, and was sent to the Provincial Party School to study for several months. Xin Zejin couldn't think of a reason why Ding Nengtong didn't have an accident. How could it be possible in such a complicated political environment? He got hold of himself, and was only given a punishment of probation by the party, and made a comeback for the second time. Could it be that Ding Nengtong was really made of special materials?
Xin Zejin thinks that there is only one explanation, that is, Ding Nengtong either has expert guidance behind him, or he is an expert in the world, and making friends with such a person who has been baptized by wind and rain, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. Xin Zejin was completely convinced by Ding Nengtong At the same time, his younger brother Xin Zeyin also asked Ding Nengtong for the Dongzhou subway project, because Xin Zejin learned that Ding Nengtong's comeback this time was due to the appreciation of the young mayor Xia Wentian.
Xin Zejin knew a little about Xia Wentian, because Xia Wentian had been the vice governor of Qingjiang Province for less than a year.When Mayor Xia was working in the province, he went to Beijing for a meeting, and Xin Zejin received him twice. He knew that Xia Wentian was a person who loved and cherished talents, and it was reasonable for Xia Wentian to appreciate Ding Nengtong.
Ding Nengtong refused to accept Huang Mengran's hosting, and readily agreed to Xin Zejin's banquet, because Ding Nengtong was more thoughtful. Xia Wentian appreciated him very much, but he didn't know much about Xia Wentian. He wanted to learn more about Xia Wentian through Xin Zejin It is also good to know the enemy and confidant in the future work.
Ding Nengtong returned a glass of wine and said: "Brother Zejin, I know that you received Mayor Xia when he was the deputy governor. Do you think Mayor Xia received him well? Besides, I don't know anything about his family now! "
"To be honest, I have only received Mayor Xia twice in Beijing. Although he looks very easy-going, it feels like he is a person who does not rub sand in his eyes. People who have learned are like this, like an idealist. He He himself said that he only believes in the truth, and his wife is Ning Tong, who is a college classmate with him, and works as a teacher at Qingjiang University, and they have a daughter who is a sophomore in Dongzhou Experimental Middle School."
Xin Zejin expected that Ding Nengtong would be very interested in this topic. In order to show his sincerity, he introduced it in detail. He said everything he saw, heard, and thought of. He doesn't like publicity, and he is not as scheming as Xiao Honglin and Jia Chaoxuan. In short, he is not a person who likes to think about people and knows how to think about people.
Thinking of this, Ding Nengtong said with emotion: "Brother Zejin, it is better to believe in something in life, especially for those who have been in officialdom for a long time, otherwise they will not know how they fell down the cliff." ."
Xin Zejin echoed and said: "Isn't that right, a person's whole life is like shitting, sometimes you have worked very hard, but what comes out is just shit!"
Xin Zejin's words elicited laughter, Bai Lina laughed and said sweetly: "Once I took a bus, it was very hot, and there were many people on board, so it was extremely stuffy. I don't know who farted. The smell was unbearable, and the man standing next to me grinned and covered his nose, just as the conductor asked: "Who didn't buy a ticket?" The man shouted loudly in order to retaliate against the farting person: "The farting person didn't buy a ticket!" Suddenly A very fat woman raised her hand high and said loudly: 'I've already bought a ticket!'"
As soon as Bai Lina finished speaking, everyone laughed. Xin Zejin just took a sip of tea and spit it out.
Ding Nengtong poured a glass of wine for Xin Zeyin and said: "Zeyin, thank you for taking care of my wife and children, I offer you a toast!"
After drinking his glass, Xin Zeyin said: "Director Ding, Mrs. Sister-in-law is not very happy with your comeback this time. She still hopes that you can resign and go to Canada to accompany her. Firstly, the risk in the officialdom is too great, and secondly, she is alone. It's too lonely in Canada, but fortunately, I'm already working in Brown's company, please rest assured, Director Ding, I will take good care of my wife!"
The last words of Xin Zeyin made Ding Nengtong feel sour in his heart. Xin Zeyin was handsome and handsome, thinking to himself, Xin Zeyin has not yet married and established a business, and Yixue is too beautiful. If this kid is uneasy and kind, I, Ding Nengtong, may damn.
Thinking of this, Ding Nengtong regretted sending his wife and children to Canada, but on second thought, after all, his son has a good learning environment, not to mention that Yixue is not the kind of little woman who can't live without a man, what is the relationship between husband and wife for so many years Maybe Hongxing is out of the wall!
The more Ding Nengtong thought about it, the more he felt that he was mentally wretched, and he didn't look like a big man. He was so annoyed that he lost interest, raised his glass and said, "Thank you Brother Zejin for your hospitality, let's stop here today, how about the wine in our glass?"
Xin Zejin said with a smile on his face: "I can get through, don't worry, it's still early, brother, I have something to ask you!"
Ding Nengtong said heartily: "Brother Zejin, if there is anything we brothers can ask for, as long as my brother can help, feel free to ask."
Xin Zejin said solemnly: "Yes, Liu Guangda, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, will come to Beijing tomorrow. This time, Secretary Liu is studying at the provincial and ministerial cadre training class of the Central Party School. You know, brother, I am incapable. I have never been able to attack the capital airport." This fortress was single-handedly raised by Secretary Liu when he was the executive vice-governor. This time he went to Beijing to study, it was an opportunity for my brother and me to show how close we are. In the past, the leaders of the province went to Beijing, and our provincial office in Beijing I can only go to the pick-up port to pick up the leader, your brother is very familiar with the Capital Airport, this time Secretary Liu is coming to Beijing, can you help my brother and I enjoy the scenery, so that Secretary Liu can also enjoy the VIP treatment."
Ding Nengtong didn't expect that Xin Zejin, a dignified director of the Provincial Office in Beijing, would condescend to ask himself to do such a thing, basically disregarding his own dignity. It seems that Liu Guangda has a very heavy weight in Xin Zejin's heart.
During the period of Xiao Honglin and Jia Chaoxuan's double inspection, Liu Guangda had a conversation with Ding Nengtong. Accompanying Liu Guangda and Ding Nengtong in the conversation were Hong Wenshan, then deputy secretary of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Director Liu Fengyun of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
In that conversation, Liu Guangda left a deep impression on Ding Nengtong. Even when he mentioned this name, Ding Nengtong felt a sense of fear in his heart.
Because it was after that conversation that Xiao Honglin was officially arrested. Some people said that Ding Nengtong betrayed Xiao Honglin. Whenever he heard such rumors, Ding Nengtong was speechless.
"Brother Zejin," Ding Nengtong lit a cigarette and said sincerely, "You are speaking too seriously. It is the responsibility of the Beijing Office to receive the provincial and municipal leaders well. I will ask Bai Lina to accompany you tomorrow, and I will make sure you are satisfied. Besides, what Today, I will be the host, and I will build a bridge between you and Deputy General Manager Wang at the Capital Airport. From now on, let your director of the reception office find Xiao Zhang, the secretary of Deputy General Manager Wang, to handle such trivial matters. Lina, go to the airport early tomorrow We must complete this matter as a political task!"
"Okay, I can get through. With your words, I feel relieved."
In order to express his gratitude, Xin Zejin drank a cup by himself.Then, everyone filled up again and drank the last cup of banquet wine.
On a night in early spring in Beijing, the air is very mild, the breeze is blowing cool, and there is a faint sweet smell from the trees in the air. The dark blue sky falls at the end of Chang'an Avenue.
The dense car lights draw many extremely modern halos and lines between the staggered and undulating skyscrapers.Beijing is like a classic lady who suddenly replaced the old purple dress with cloud shirt and jade body, no longer the shyness and reservedness of the past.
Ding Nengtong was driving a Mercedes-Benz, shuttling through the busy traffic, vehicles flowing like gurgling streams flashed in front of his eyes, and he sighed in his heart that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Lina, I thought we would never work together again!"
"Boss, I also thought it was impossible for you to return to the Beijing office. The earthquake in Dongzhou really turned the world upside down!" Bai Lina said sadly.
Ding Nengtong knew in his heart that because of Xiao Honglin's involvement, Bai Lina experienced an unprecedented test in her life.Xiao Honglin's attitude was very stubborn when he was first shuanggui, and he refused to explain his problems. He organized Bai Lina's work well and hoped that she would write to Xiao Honglin to persuade him to cooperate with the special investigation team.
Bai Lina wrote a long letter expressing their feelings with tears in his eyes. Xiao Honglin did not expect that Bai Lina was still infatuated with him when he was in prison.
Xiao Honglin stayed up all night, read the letter over twenty times, and his attitude changed dramatically: After more than a month of "double regulation" talks, Xiao Honglin successively explained that after he took office as mayor, he took advantage of his position to Accepting money and goods from nearly 200 people, totaling more than 10 million yuan, is a serious violation of discipline and law.
"Lina, have you visited Mayor Xiao recently?" Ding Nengtong asked with mixed feelings.
"I went there once a month ago, and my health was very bad. I have been diagnosed with lung cancer."
After Ding Nengtong heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Before Xiao Honglin was shuanggui, he had accompanied Xiao Honglin to Beijing 301 Hospital for an examination. The results had not yet come out. Xiao Honglin and himself were shuanggui. With regard to the progress of the "Xiao Jia Major Case", it now appears that Xiao Honglin has been sentenced to "death" politically, and is also terminally ill physically.
"Lina, is the case almost over?"
"Next month."
"Can you save your life?"
"According to his performance, maybe! But what if he keeps it? After all, he can't escape cancer!"
Speaking of this, both of them were silent, the Mercedes-Benz was still shuttling through the night, sporadic raindrops fell on the front windshield, suddenly a bright white lightning cut through the night sky, reflecting the road ahead as day, a series of The spring thunder exploded, and Bai Lina wiped away the tears that had just burst out and said:
"Boss, this is the first spring thunder in Beijing this year..."
