Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

fifty seven The large meeting room of the municipal government is located in a single row of large bungalows behind the building.As soon as Huang Jiangbei walked into the conference room, he saw the county magistrate Qu from Linzhong County.Huang Jiangbei took the initiative to go over to say hello first: "County Qu, you are here." County Mayor Qu bowed and smiled and said, "Mayor Huang, why are you late? Let us soldiers wait for you..." Huang Jiangbei He said apologetically, "I'm sorry for the delay. Is the matter of Lishugou Primary School almost done?" The county magistrate Qu said, "My Mayor Huang, don't push me so hard. Zhangtai City has Inexplicably, two cadres have died, if you continue to force me like this, I will become the third one.” He said, laughing loudly.Every time he called "Day Mayor Huang", he deliberately shouted the word "Dai" very loudly, which attracted the strange attention of the leaders present at the meeting.Of course, the sensitive Huang Jiangbei also noticed the intentional "disrespect" of the other party, but in view of his "seniority" and his own status, he had no choice but to hide all the unhappiness and embarrassment in his heart, and still put on a very frank look and said with a smile: "You But I promised to solve it within forty-eight hours."

County Magistrate Qu smiled and said: "It seems that our Mayor Huang is going to force this old man Qu to death this time." At this moment, secretary Xiao Gao walked into the meeting room, whispered to Huang Jiangbei's ear, and said softly, "Mayor Huang, your phone number." Huang Jiangbei said unhappily, "I won't answer any calls!" Xiao Gao hurriedly said, "Secretary Lin's call." Huang Jiangbei had no choice but to greet the participants: "I'm really sorry, I have to ask everyone to wait for a while, and I will answer Secretary Lin's call." As soon as he walked to the door of the meeting room, the director of the Municipal Finance Bureau hurriedly followed him out, with a low voice. He said in a low voice, "Mayor Huang...can I delay you for a few minutes?"

Huang Jiangbei didn't stop, and hurriedly walked towards the office, and responded, "I'm sorry, Master God of Wealth, Secretary Lin has a call waiting for me, let's talk as we go." It's ready, just go through the formalities, and that's it..." "That's good." "Also..." "Don't hesitate, is it about the financial appropriation... Is there something crowded?" "No What kind of crowd. Didn't you ask us to draft a notice and print it out at this meeting..." "Yeah, it's printed?" Last night, Huang Jiangbei pondered for a long time, drawing inferences from the current situation of Lishugou and the attitude of the county magistrate Qu in Linzhong County. They all pay attention to solving educational problems, which is really not possible.If this continues, a large number of teachers will be lost, and those who barely stay have no intention of studying teaching. The so-called improving the quality of education and cultivating talents across the century can only be empty talk.It is also very slim to fundamentally improve the quality of the population in this region and adapt to the challenges of the new century; let alone eradicating ignorance, backwardness and cruelty.The issue of education is not just an issue of education. From now on, we must spare no effort to urge cadres at all levels to pay close attention to the implementation and improvement of this matter.The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he called back from Linzhong County overnight to find the director of the Finance Bureau, and asked him to draft a document overnight, print and distribute it at today's meeting, and notify all district and county bureaus that starting from this year, financial allocations will be made. It is linked to repaying teachers' salaries and repairing dilapidated school buildings.Those who are in arrears with teachers' salaries and do not actively organize forces to renovate dilapidated school buildings will have their financial allocations frozen this year, and they will not be allowed to buy "luxury goods" such as cars.Huang Jiangbei thought that the bureau chief had already printed out the document, and said happily: "Okay, I will focus on this matter later. After I finish, you, the Minister of Finance, will also talk about it, and emphasize this matter carefully." matter." The city finance director said: "Mayor Huang, then...the notice hasn't been printed yet..." Huang Jiangbei was taken aback: "Why?" The city finance director said: "This matter...I think it has to be followed Secretary Lin, take a breath..." Huang Jiangbei stopped suddenly: "Do you think that I, the mayor, can't decide this matter?"

The chief of the city's finance bureau hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant. However, it's better to ventilate than not to vent..." Huang Jiangbei took a careful look at this veteran comrade who had worked in Zhangtai City for more than twenty years, and deliberately said in an understatement tone: "Old Geng, although I am not a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee..." The director of the city's finance bureau hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant, I definitely didn't mean that..." Huang Jiangbei continued: "I am not a member of the Standing Committee, but at the Standing Committee, Secretary Lin has made it clear that finances are under my control. Although I am not yet a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the Provincial Party Committee has also made it clear that I can communicate with the Municipal Standing Committee Member The work of participating in the Standing Committee. Didn’t your Finance Bureau convey this spirit? If not, I will formally convey it to you now.”

The chief of the city's finance bureau nodded again and again: "It's conveyed, it's conveyed..." Huang Jiangbei smiled calmly: "Then what's the problem?" The director of the Municipal Finance Bureau hesitated for a moment: "Mayor Huang, please don't misunderstand me. I definitely don't mean to underestimate you. I absolutely don't dare. My little finance director has eight heads and I don't dare to do such nonsense. But ...Our Zhangtai has always had the habit of communicating with Secretary Lin about financial matters. The previous mayors have done this, and they have cooperated with Secretary Lin very smoothly. Of course, if you think You don't have to do this, then... I'll print that notice... I just feel... feel..."

Huang Jiangbei held back his temper: "Thank you for your reminder. I, the acting mayor, will take care of the venting. But that notice, please do as I said. Before the meeting ends in the morning, there must be a copy. Print it out and send it to me!" The City Finance Director said again hesitantly: "Okay...okay..." Watching the finance director, who was not very old, but had a slightly arched back, go away, Huang Jiangbei suddenly thought, in another ten years, would he not be able to stand up straight like him?He smiled wryly. fifty eight As soon as Huang Jiangbei turned around, Xiao Gao came to report: "Mayor Huang, Mr. Tian is here." Huang Jiangbei looked around slowly.The young man who followed Xiao Gao into the room was about twenty-seven or eight years old, with a handsome face and a slender figure, dressed in very ordinary clothes, plus the old military cotton coat and the round black face on his feet. Cloth shoes are no different from young people who have just practiced for a few days outside and haven't gotten much hair yet.But as long as you take a closer look, you can clearly find that his eyes and every pitcher's gesture reveal the self-confidence and sense of superiority from the bottom of his bones.He is different from his elder brother Tian Weiming whom we will meet in later chapters. His elder brother Tian Weiming never thought of suppressing his "natural" sense of superiority. On the contrary, how to make this superiority However, this younger brother clearly makes people feel that the struggle of his life may lie in how to deeply hide this potential consciousness that came to him. A deep sense of "superiority".The pain of his life may have arisen from this extremely difficult resistance to his subconscious.Although the army cotton coat and black-faced cloth shoes on his body were old, they were very clean and of unusual quality.The leather travel bag he held in one hand looked old and rough, but a careful expert could tell that it was definitely made by a famous craftsman from the "Axina" or "Black Panther" leather company.

At first glance, it's good.Huang Jiangbei took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself with a smile: "Huang Jiangbei." Tian Weidong smiled plainly, but also absolutely sincerely.He tightly held the hand that Huang Jiangbei stretched out, and just answered simply: "Tian Weidong." Huang Jiangbei pointed to the sofa: "Sit, please sit." Tian Weidong smiled and said: "Here, it seems that this sentence should be more appropriate for me to say. Isn't it?" Huang Jiangbei also smiled: "That's right... here, you are the owner."

Tian Weidong took out a large kraft paper envelope from his purse: "This is a letter my father asked me to bring to you." Then he took the teacup generously, drank it, and said loudly: "It's a long time ago, I just want to see you. You don't know that since I was a child, all kinds of people have been referring to you in various ways in front of me..." Huang Jiangbei unexpectedly: "Really?" Tian Weidong smiled and said: "I am in the elementary and middle schools in Zhangtai. My teachers often use your deeds to spur our bad deeds in the weekly and morning meetings, and in the countless individual conversations." Not to mention my dad. He has a bad temper. Whenever my brother and I do something wrong, he will take the cane and slap our buttocks while yelling: Look at Huang Jiangbei, he is so hardworking. , so obedient. The family has such conditions, and they all went to Tsinghua University. Are you still a person? To tell you the truth, in the end, as soon as I heard your three words "Huang Jiangbei", my brothers would feel tense and scalp numb , there is a burning pain in the buttocks..."

Huang Jiangbei couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha..." However, Tian Weidong continued calmly: "One time, my brother was in a hurry and found a knife. He told me in a low voice, "Damn it, find some buddies and put that Huang..." Huang Jiangbei laughed so hard: "Okay, I want to use the knife with me." After a while, Huang Jiangbei asked, "How long do you plan to stay in Zhangtai this time?" Tian Weidong thought for a while: "Look. Three Five days, ten days and eight days, it's hard to say." "If there is anything we need to do, don't be polite." "Don't worry, if there is anything, I will definitely come to you. You...you...please look at my dad The letter from..."

After reading the letter, Huang Jiangbei said, "Thank you very much for your father's concern. My work here... It should be said that it is smooth. The comrades in the city are still very supportive of my work. Generally speaking, it is normal... " Tian Weidong said: "Really? But what we heard in the province seems to be a bit different from what you said. I heard that you ordered them to toss up the two dilapidated houses in Lishugou several times, but no one came." Reasonable. You want to investigate the quality of Chinese senior staff in Wanfang Company, and suggest re-evaluating these staff, but no one cares. Is there such a thing?"

Huang Jiangbei's face became slightly hot. With a "click", a box of matches was subconsciously crushed by him. After a while, Tian Weidong asked again: "I heard that many people in Zhangtai speak ill of my father behind their backs." Huang Jiangbei said, "Really? Why haven't I heard of it?" Tian Weidong smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, you don't know. There have been some problems in Zhangtai in the past two years, and some people have tried their best to link these problems with my father. You said you can match Is my dad gone all these years, and because he used to work here, he should be held permanently responsible for everything that goes wrong here? It's not fair." "Is there such a saying?" Huang Jiangbei asked back. "Of course, I'm not saying that everything has been done properly when my father was working in Zhangtai and since he was transferred to take charge of the work. I also don't agree 100% with many of my father's practices. His People are too affectionate to those who have been with him and have been working with him all year round, and they are always unable to deal with them. This has caused some bad elements among these people to do improper things under the banner of my father everywhere. Many problems in Zhangtai are caused by this. I am also very displeased with my brother. His brother takes such a foreign girl and flaunts everywhere. I think this way of living is no better than a clown in a circus. How much. Of course, I don't agree with some of Zheng Yanzhang's actions..." Huang Jiangbei asked: "Do you know Director Zheng?" Tian Weidong said: "These old comrades in Zhangtai City, there is not a single one who is not a close friend of our family." Huang Jiangbei asked tentatively, "Do you have any news about Zheng Yanzhang's disappearance?" Tian Weidong raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you suspecting that I kidnapped someone Zheng? Zheng Yanzhang is missing, what's going on?" At this time, Xiao Gao walked in, and whispered something to Huang Jiangbei's ear. Huang Jiangbei said to Tian Weidong: "I'm sorry, I'm going to answer the phone." He immediately walked out.The phone call was made by the responsible comrades from the Public Security Bureau.They checked and found that no one in the public security system had troubled Zheng Yanzhang.When Huang Jiangbei returned to the big living room, Tian Weidong was nowhere to be seen.Xiao Gao told Huang Jiangbei that a person ran over in a panic just now and called Tian Weidong to another room, as if something had happened.After a while, Tian Weidong also returned to the large living room, and said to Huang Jiangbei with a nervous expression: "Something happened to Zheng Yanzhang..." Huang Jiangbei was surprised: "How do you know?" Tian Weidong said: "Don't talk about this, you Can you go and take a look with me now?" Huang Jiangbei hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with him?" Tian Weidong hesitated: "It may be a cerebral hemorrhage... already unconscious..." fifty-nine The taxi drove to the door of the Water Restaurant. Shan Zhaoer (Xia Zhiyuan's girlfriend), who was in charge in the lobby of the restaurant, saw Xia Zhiyuan walking in and hurried into the manager's office.At this time, Xia Zhiyuan's knocking and shouting sounded from outside the door: "Zhaoer..." Shan Zhaoer opened the door and said coldly, "I'm very busy, tell me what you need." Xia Zhiyuan: "I'm here to find Su Qun." Shan Zhaoer said, "You've gone to the wrong place." "Zhaoer..." "You've gone to the wrong place. I don't know Su Qun, please go out." It's a matter of life and death...""It's about heaven and earth, it's none of my business!" Xia Zhiyuan stood up suddenly: "You...how can you say that?" Shan Zhaoer suddenly raised her voice: "Why can't I say that?" "Shan Zhaoer! If you don't suffer from amnesia, I think you should still remember that you were an excellent cadre of the municipal party committee a few years ago, and a very devout member of the Communist Party. You should know the current situation of Zhangtai. You should I understand why the organization asked me to look for Su Qun today. I don’t think you should forget the important matters of hundreds of thousands of people in Zhangtai for the sake of personal grievances and grievances. Let me tell you , Su Qun is in a very dangerous situation now." "Hmph, tell you his whereabouts, so it's not dangerous?" "Not to me, but to the organization." "Haha. Organization? It was her immediate boss who betrayed Sister Jiang and sent her to the enemy's jaws! Don't forget that the Communist Party members who were imprisoned in Zhazidong at that time did everything possible to make them Among the few last words I sent out, one is to warn all comrades who are still alive to be vigilant against the corruption of leading members, not to be superstitious about the organization, and not to be too idealistic! This is what you taught us young people in the party class !" Xia Zhiyuan retorted: "There are people like Fu Zhigao who are leaders, but after all there is Xu Yunfeng!" Shan Zhaoer sneered, "You are Xu Yunfeng? That's great." Xia Zhiyuan sneered: "I'm not Xu Yunfeng. But I still know that you have to have a conscience, unlike you..." Shan Zhaoer asked anxiously, "What's wrong with me?" Xia Zhiyuan sneered again: "What's the matter with you? Take a closer look, the whole is an ugly little rich woman, and the whole is a dirty rich lady. Do you think I love looking for you? With your tens of millions of dollars Brooch, go twist your ass in front of those big names. Tell you, without you as a single butcher, Xia Zhiyuan would still not eat hairy pigs!" He slammed the door angrily, and strode out. "Come back!" Shan Zhaoer ordered loudly.She took Xia Zhiyuan out, got into the car and left. sixty Tian Weidong drove his Tianba car with Huang Jiangbei to the suburbs, and finally stopped in front of the nursing home.After a while, the dean and several chief physicians led Huang Jiangbei and Tian Weidong into the emergency room.Zheng Yanzhang was in a deep coma, and five or six doctors and nurses were busy resuscitating him. Huang Jiangbei asked, "Is it cerebral hemorrhage?" The dean said: "Typical cerebral hemorrhage symptoms." Huang Jiangbei asked, "Are there any signs of being beaten on his body?" "We haven't done an inspection on that," the dean said. Huang Jiangbei said: "Then check to see if he has any other internal injuries..." The dean said, "Yes." Huang Jiangbei said: "Rescue at all costs. Without my permission, no one is allowed to interfere with your rescue work, and no one is allowed to move Director Zheng at will. With you, Director Zhao, there must be Director Zheng. Throw Director Zheng, I only ask you!" The dean said, "Yes." Outside the gate of Yuanjue Temple Nursing Home, the night was thick, with shadows of mountains. Huang Jiangbei asked Tian Weidong: "Do you know where Su Qun is now?" Tian Weidong hesitated: "I don't know..." Huang Jiangbei said seriously: "Do you want to wait until you have another cerebral hemorrhage and then tell me?" Tian Weidong hurriedly said, "I really don't know..." Huang Jiangbei asked: "Whose idea was it to kidnap Chief Zheng?" Tian Weidong felt uneasy, very uneasy, Zheng Yanzhang was not arrested by him, but he wanted to find his brother Tian Weiming.He knew that no one would do this now except his brother Tian Weiming.Wei Ming is short-tempered and hot-tempered, and he has a lot of buddies who eat and drink his food. When these guys are together, they always feel that there is nothing in this world that they can't do, and there is nothing they can't do.In the past two years, Wei Ming "borrowed" a lot of money from Wanfang, and went to some places outside the country to engage in labor export, barter trade, and joint venture factories... He was afraid that Zheng Yanzhang would contact him about the deaths of Dong Xiujuan and Yu Yefeng When I got up, I wanted to have a good talk with Zheng Yanzhang.He and his group of people can definitely do such a thing when they get hot-headed and yell and drink together.But if Zheng Yanzhang really wants to have troubles, how will it end?What's wrong with dragging the old father down?Thinking of this, Tian Weidong couldn't help but shudder. Tian Weidong quickly drove his fiery red Tianba car to a small country villa and stopped.He honked the horn twice and the door opened.He strode into the small villa and asked, "Where is my brother?" The person who was asked faltered, "He...he didn't return to Zhangtai..." Tian Weidong glanced at the staff member coldly, then turned to the upstairs then go. At this time, Tian Weiming was roasting a lamb leg leisurely by a newly dug earth pit in the small garden behind the building. Tian Weidong hurried over and kicked the lamb leg away.Tian Weiming yelled angrily: "Who the hell deserves a beating!" Turning around, it was Wei Dong, who was stunned. Tian Weidong asked: "You took people to raid Zheng Yanzhang's house, and then took Zheng Yanzhang away?" Tian Weiming asked back, "Why did you come to Zhangtai?" Tian Weidong: "I'm asking you!" Tian Weiming: "Leave me alone." Tian Weidong: "How do you promise in front of Dad?" Tian Weiming: "Father, are you annoying?" Tian Weidong: "Zheng Yanzhang has a cerebral hemorrhage and is already in critical condition. Your brother still has the heart to roast lamb legs here. You are really good!" Tian Weiming was surprised: "Impossible." "You are brave enough to lead someone to search the home of the head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau." "Don't scare me, Old Man Zheng is no longer the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau." "So you can mess around?" "I said what's wrong with you today..." "What's the matter? Dad made it clear that I will take care of Zhangtai's affairs. He told you not to come to Zhangtai to mess around!" "Can you take over this stall?" "If you can take it, but you can't, Dad won't let you come to Zhangtai again!" "That's what he said to your face. And what he said to me behind your back, you know?" "What did he say?" "You shouldn't know, so don't ask. Yellow-haired boy, don't you understand this rule?" "I don't understand, but I understand that if Zheng Yanzhang really makes you toss to death, what you eat today will be the last leg of lamb you can eat in your life!" "Is there any proof that I caught him?" "You just wait, once something happens, your buddies will push it all on you!" "That's what you say. You've never had a real friend, you've been like a lonely hare..." "You also arrested Su Qun?" "What is Su Qun?" "Don't play tricks on me. You'll cry when you do this." "Don't worry, my good brother, the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, the situation is getting better, not just getting better, but getting better and better."
