After Li Dingwang left, Tan Zijin looked at Zhou Yunfeng with some seriousness:
"Xiao Zhou, who is the person who wants to harm you?"
Li Dingwang's performance just now seemed to be self-inflicted, but Zhou Yunfeng had no intention of identifying Li Dingwang.
Because he knew very well that during his four years in Jiagou Village, he was indispensable for the "care" of his father-in-law Wei Changlin. Li Dingwang was just a pawn of his and was useless against him.
"Secretary Tan, I can handle this."
Tan Zijin saw that he was unwilling to say anything, so he stopped asking further.
"By the way, there's bad news and good news, which one do you want to hear?"
Tan Zijing suddenly looked at him with a smile full of happiness.
"It's better to hear the good news first."
"Ah? Don't most people listen to the news first? We should save the delicious food for later!" Tan Zijin seemed to be surprised, feeling that his prepared routine was disrupted.
Zhou Yunfeng smiled faintly: "If you guessed correctly, Secretary Xu and I were unsuccessful in matching each other. However, you have helped her find a qualified kidney source, right!"
Tan Zijin pouted his little mouth slightly and sighed: "Oh, it's boring, you guessed it all."
"This is actually not difficult to guess. After all, the probability of successful matching is too small. Secretary Tan, you must have put in a lot of effort!"
Tan Zijin stretched out her white and slender fingers and pushed a bunch of hair behind her ears: "No matter how hard it is, it's worth it. Secretary Xu is a good official. She can benefit the people in her position."
Zhou Yunfeng stared at Tan Zijin. Even though he had a reason to please him, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
In the officialdom where interests are paramount, it is indeed very rare for Tan Zijin to be able to exchange sincerity with Xu Xiaoman.
"When will Secretary Xu have surgery?"
"It's not clear yet. We have to wait for notification from the city hospital."
"Okay, Secretary Tan, I'll go back first. I'll finish handing over the work in the village tomorrow and then come to work at the county committee."
"Okay, come see me tomorrow. Your new job will be quite challenging."
Tan Zijin's face was solemn. Now that the work pressure of the county party committee was huge, she was gradually able to understand Xu Xiaoman's feeling of physical and mental exhaustion.
How could Zhou Yunfeng not know the situation in Wantong County? The county with the lowest fiscal revenue in Jingzhou City would have a big problem no matter which department it is assigned to.
…
After Li Dingwang came out of the county party committee, he quickly called Wei Changlin.
"Secretary Wei, something went wrong regarding Zhou Yunfeng."
Li Dingwang spoke cautiously, and then his scalp became numb.
On the other end of the phone, Wei Changlin pondered for a long time. Last night, Wei Mingdong had been taken away, and the hit-and-run incident could no longer be avoided. Now he could only implement the second plan, which was to see if Wei Mingdong's sentence could be minimized.
And this morning he was called to the municipal party committee for an interview, which probably took his son's matter very seriously.
"Li Dingwang, can't you even manage a village secretary? Your ability to do things really shocked me."
After some confusion and ridicule, Li Dingwang was frightened and said again and again:
"Secretary Wei, it's really not my fault. I don't know where Zhou Yunfeng's ability comes from. He actually asked Xu Xiaoman to second him to work in the county committee. Do you think I dare to go against Secretary Xu?"
"Xu Xiaoman? Why does she want to help Zhou Yunfeng?"
Wei Changlin was puzzled. She couldn't protect herself now. Not only was she seriously ill, Jingzhou City was going to conduct a fiscal revenue ranking at the end of the year. Currently, Wantong County was still at the bottom. How could she care about the life and death of a grassroots cadre?
Li Dingwang looked like he was eating Huanglian: "I'm confused too! I've been thinking about this without even thinking about it. Do you think that if Zhou Yunfeng knew Secretary Xu, why would he have been punished for four years in Jiagou Village? It should have been long ago. Has he been transferred to the county committee? Secretary Xu just transferred him back at this time."
The timing was so coincidental that Wei Changlin also suspected that there was something fishy going on here.
After thinking for a while, Wei Changlin characterized the matter as a political struggle.
Xu Xiaoman and he both had the opportunity to work in the municipal party committee. Did Zhou Yunfeng expose Wei Mingdong's affairs?
Unless this is the case, why would Xu Xiaoman help Zhou Yunfeng at this critical moment?
"Li Dingwang, find out which department Zhou Yuncheng works in and find a way to expel him from the county committee."
Wei Changlin said that if Zhou Yunfeng was to suffer more pain than going to jail, he would never want to be an official in this life and just stay in Jiagou Village.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, Secretary Wei. I have many acquaintances in the county committee. I guarantee that Zhou Yunfeng will be trampled until he can't hold his head up."
Li Dingwang is a sociable person. At the township level, he is at the same level as the heads of various departments of the county party committee. He often gets together to communicate with each other on weekdays.
Wei Changlin ignored him and hung up the phone.
Li Dingwang sat in the car depressedly. Now he wanted to know which department Zhou Yunfeng was assigned to, so he had to find him himself.
…
Zhou Yunfeng went to a large supermarket in the county to buy some things, and then took a bus back to Jiagou Village. At this time, the sunset had already set on the top of the mountain, and there was a glow of red clouds.
Passing by the small shop at the entrance of the village, several village women were eating melon seeds and chewing their tongues at the door.
Tian Cuilan, Zhang Laizi's wife, felt sour when she saw that Zhou Yunfeng was doing all the shopping and not buying anything in her shop.
"Oh, Secretary Zhou went to the county to buy goods? Officials are different, they are rich!"
Zhou Yunfeng walked straight forward without even looking at her.
Li Dingwang reported to Wei Changlin
Li Dingwang said that he had an acquaintance in the Finance Bureau who could suppress Zhou Yunfeng.
