"Okay." Zuo Shuzhen said, "What you said makes sense. Besides this time... forget it, I'll invite Xiao Xu to the capital again when I have the opportunity."
The private plane arrived, and the two sisters got on the plane and left together. Xu Lang drove back to the unit.
In the office of Zhang Fengnian, the secretary of the municipal party committee, He Jiancong, the secretary brought from Pingnan, walked in and said: "Boss, Mayor Qiu suddenly took three days off and is said to have gone back to Beijing."
"What?" Zhang Fengnian suddenly became unhappy: "She asked for leave as soon as I came here, and she asked for three days. What does she mean?"
He Jiancong said: "I don't know that. I'm afraid there is something urgent to deal with."
Zhang Fengnian said: "Go and find out why you asked for leave. If there is no reasonable explanation, hum!"
He Jiancong: "Yes."
Zhang Fengnian then thought about it and said, "Go and call Secretary-General Huang here, and I will ask him personally."
Although Huang Zhaohua, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, knows that he is leaving, he has not moved Zhang Fengnian yet because he has not yet found a replacement.
After Huang Zhaohua came in, He Jiancong closed the door from the outside. He immediately stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Secretary Zhang."
Zhang Fengnian looked at him without any expression on his face and said, "Secretary-General Huang, you have arranged my residence very well. You have taken care of it."
Huang Zhaohua said with a smile on his face: "That's what I should do, Secretary Zhang. In addition to the residence of the municipal party committee, I have arranged an office space for you in Ninghai Hotel and Ninghai Villa. If you have time, I will accompany you to visit Look, if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, I’ll ask someone to correct it right away.”
"Oh?" Zhang Fengnian's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Hearing what you said, I really have to go and have a look, haha."
Huang Zhaohua's smile took on a flattering tone: "Just let me know when you can."
"Yeah." Zhang Fengnian paused and asked, "Does Secretary-General Huang know Mayor Qiu?"
"Mayor Qiu?" Huang Zhaohua was secretly surprised. Before he could figure out Zhang Fengnian's intention, he didn't dare to tell the truth: "I don't know very well. She didn't work here when she was acting secretary. She worked in the government there."
Zhang Fengnian asked: "Then you say...who knows her well?"
Huang Zhaohua thought for a while and said: "There are two people who know her best, one is Xu Lang, director of the municipal government office, and the other is Zhou Zhenxiong, secretary-general of the municipal government."
"Xu Lang?" Zhang Fengnian asked after thinking for a moment: "Is he Xu Lang, a popular figure in the government and the hero who saved more than 200 people?"
Huang Zhaohua said: "It's him. It is said that he is the most favored by Mayor Qiu. If anything cannot be solved, he will be approached, but Zhou Zhenxiong is seldom approached."
"Oh?" Zhang Fengnian was puzzled: "Isn't the secretary-general helping the mayor solve problems? Why didn't she ask Secretary-General Zhou?"
Huang Zhaohua thought for a while before saying: "It is said that Secretary-General Zhou is the former Secretary Li. After Mayor Qiu found out, he was a little... wary of him. Of course, this is just hearsay, I don't know whether it is true or not."
"So that's it." Zhang Fengnian's eyes kept rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.
He then asked: "Mayor Qiu took leave today, and for three days. Do you know the reason?"
"I don't know." Huang Zhaohua said, "I haven't heard of her asking for leave beforehand, or I heard about it from you."
Zhang Fengnian said: "Then you go find someone and ask. I want to know why she took such a long leave."
"Okay." Huang Zhaohua secretly cursed, it's a bit unethical for someone to ask for leave and ask for the reason. That's their private matter, so you have to pry into it.
After Huang Zhaohua left, Zhang Fengnian called He Jiancong in: "Please make arrangements tonight. I want to have a meal with Secretary General Zhou Zhenxiong of the municipal government. Remember, don't let anyone else know."
"Okay." He Jiancong said with a smile, "I'll make arrangements right away."
He just walked out, but came back: "Boss, Director Liang is here."
Zhang Fengnian was stunned for a moment, but then said in a flash: "Let him come in."
The director Liang who came in was none other than Liang Bin, the deputy director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau!
When the director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau retired due to illness, this person was the most promising person to take over his position. Unfortunately, during the building collapse incident, he ran too fast, allowing Yuan Xiangyu to make great contributions, and passed by Xu Lang. Operation, Yuan Xiangyu successfully replaced him as director.
For this reason, he was very resentful towards Yuan Xiangyu and Xu Lang. Unfortunately, the new mayor Qiu Mingyue did not see him at all, so he could not find a chance to flatter him.
Then, when he heard that Qiu Mingyue was very optimistic about Xu Lang, he completely gave up the idea of trying to please Qiu Mingyue.
But now, he was extremely excited.
Because, his backer is here!
Entering the office, Liang Bin was so excited that his eyes were red. He ran to the executive desk and said to Zhang Fengnian: "Brother-in-law, it's been a long time."
Zhang Fengnian smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing at the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau?"
"Oh, stop talking." Liang Bin waved his hands repeatedly: "If you hadn't come, I would have submitted an application for early retirement."
Zhang Fengnian was very surprised: "What do you mean, do you, the deputy director, still have someone dare to persecute you?"
Liang Bin choked up and said, "Brother-in-law, you don't know how difficult it is to carry out work in an environment surrounded by powerful enemies. I, I was bullied miserably."
Zhang Fengnian said: "Don't be impatient. Speak slowly. I also want to know how people made things difficult for you."
It turned out that Liang Bin and Zhang Fengnian were actually brothers-in-law, and Zhang Fengnian's wife and Liang Bin's wife were biological sisters. For such a close brother-in-law to come to Ninghai to take charge of the government, for Liang Bin, it was definitely a turning point for the sun, and he became a serf and started singing.
As soon as the conversation started here, Xu Lang received a call from Yuan Xiangyu: "Xu Lang, I heard that Deputy Director Liang Bin of our bureau went to the Municipal Party Committee to meet with Secretary Zhang. Do you know?"
"What?" Xu Lang was surprised: "Liang Bin went to see Secretary Zhang. It seems out of reach, right?"
Yuan Xiangyu said: "A friend of the municipal party committee told me. I heard that he actually went into Secretary Zhang's office."
Xu Lang said: "This is too unexpected. Could it be that they are old acquaintances?"
Yuan Xiangyu said: "This is what we need to know."
Xu Lang immediately said: "In that case, I will ask someone to find out immediately, and I will tell you as soon as I have any news."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lang immediately called Qiao Die.
"Brother." Qiao Die's voice was so gentle that it made Xu Lang's bones feel a little soft.
Xu Lang said: "You used to be Liu Rouzi's bodyguard, so you should have some investigative skills, right?"
Qiao Die became excited when she heard this: "Yes, we have been helping Miss Liu investigate some things. Who do you want to investigate?"
