we need the loan because the hardship assistance funds were embezzled, so we're borrowing from the bank to cover the shortfall. 。We have to package a project in order to take out a loan from the bank...When Chen Qingshan heard this, he was very surprised: "You found the contact at the Beijing Public Security Bureau Who did you go through" Xiao Zheng didn't hide it either: “It was through Liu Shisen, Director of the Publicity Department in Beijing. Once, Director Liu came to our Baoyuan..." 。That time, Liu Shisen and Fang Ya came together, and they also brought Professor Yunqi. 。Chen Qingshan recalled, “That's right! I remember this Director Liu! I didn't expect that Director Liu was also familiar with the leaders of the Hua Jing Public Security Bureau. I wonder which leader of the Public Security Bureau Director Liu contacted”

Chen Qingshan didn't know much about Liu Shisen's background. A director could actually have such a great influence, able to mobilize the leaders of the Public Security Bureau Chen Qingshan was somewhat skeptical. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Specifically, Liu Chang didn't say either, but he told me that the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security have agreed to help contact the Lanzhou Provincial Public Security Bureau. " 。"Xiao Zheng highly trusted Liu Shisen's energy. Once, Liu Shisen even arranged for a military plane to send Xiao Zheng back to Jingzhou! So, as long as Liu Shisen promised something, Xiao Zheng didn't need to ask any more." 。But in Chen Qingshan's eyes, things were a little different. 。People haven't said which leader of the Ministry of Public Security they contacted. One possibility is that Liu Shisen did indeed help make the connection, but he kept this relationship confidential and didn't say anything about it. There's also another possibility: that Liu Shisen didn't actually help at all and just told Xiao Zheng that he had helped make the connection. 。Such situations frequently occur within the system. 。When you ask someone for help, they readily agree and say they'll go get it for you. 。He could turn back, he never really said anything. 。When you ask him for specifics, he'll say it's not convenient to disclose information about his superiors. 。This kind of person wants you to accept their favors but doesn't want to actually put in the effort to help you. 。There are many such people within the system. 。Chen Qingshan himself had encountered this, so he couldn't help but speculate at this moment. 。Chen Qingshan didn't tell Xiao Zheng about this idea. After all, such speculation was pointless. Now, the only thing they could do was try to treat a dead horse as a live one!

After reporting the situation, Xiao Zheng also knew that Chen Qingshan was very busy and planned to leave: "Secretary Chen, you're busy first, I'll go back to work too." 。"Chen Qingshan said, “Minister Xiao, have a seat and join me for a cigarette." 。“Well, I’ll do it,” 。Chen Qingshan did not sit down, he handed a cigarette to Xiao Zheng after which both of them lit their cigarettes, two wisps of smoke drifting into the air. 。Chen Qingshan walked to the window, Xiao Zheng followed suit. In the rising smoke, the scene changed endlessly before finally dissipating into the air. 。Chen Qingshan looked at the still green pine trees outside the window and said with emotion, "Xiao Minister, in this system of ours, things develop in such a way that they are constantly changing. You would never expect..." 。Sometimes, I also feel helpless. 。For example, in recent times, all our work has seen progress. After you went to the city, I also felt that there were more helping hands. 。I didn't expect that the Civil Affairs Bureau would suddenly cause such a stir. The director went in, and even the mayor was taken away. I thought this might be a good thing, so we could plug this hole and do even better with the business at Xihai Tou. 。Who would have thought, this matter was discovered by the leaders of Huajing again, and they gave us a 2-day deadline. 。Several hours have passed now, and it's really hard to say whether we can catch Li Xiaogang and recover the subsidy funds within the remaining time. If we fail, I might also have to take responsibility for that. 。As he said that, Chen Qingshan took another puff of his cigarette and blew the smoke out the window. 。Xiao Zheng also truly felt the immense pressure on Chen Qingshan, he could only comfort him: "Secretary Chen, this responsibility shouldn't be yours. The blame should lie with the Director of the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, the Deputy Mayor in charge of the city government, and the Mayor." 。"Chen Qingshan nodded slightly: “I don’t bear direct responsibility, nor management responsibility.” 。But now the leaders in Huaxing have made a directive, if it's not handled well, it can't be implemented. 。Although I can't be held accountable according to party and political discipline, the leadership will definitely be unhappy. 。In my position, I either advance or fall behind. 。If I am transferred in the next step, then I don't know if the work at Xiheitou can continue, and I won't be able to control it. 。Only then did Xiao Zheng understand that Chen Qingshan was considering a different level of responsibility, not simply legal and disciplinary, but the responsibility for the development of Xihe Tou. 。"Xiao Zheng, between you and me, there's no need for empty talk." 。To say that I don't have the desire for promotion would be a lie. 。Promotion, for someone my age, is a testament to the organization's recognition and a significant way to earn respect from others. I value that very much. 。Being promoted allows me to support the development of Xīhǎitóu on a higher platform. 。

As a fallback, if I can't get promoted, I hope to continue working for another two years as the secretary of the Xihai Tou Municipal Committee. Pushing Xihai Tou's economic and social development forward further would also be my greatest contribution to Xihai Tou. 。But now, it seems like everything is turned upside down. 。。Xiao Zheng could feel Chen Qing's trust in him, and he was quite moved. Ever since he arrived in Xihai Tou and Baoyuan County, Chen Qing had always been quite trusting and caring towards him! Perhaps there was also Chen Qing's judgment of Xiao Zheng and his background, believing that supporting Xiao Zheng might also be beneficial to himself. 。Even now, Chen Qingshan has not gained any substantial improvement from helping Xiao Zheng. However, Chen Qingshan still supports and trusts Xiao Zheng. The words he just expressed were only spoken to someone he trusted immensely. 。It seems that Chen Qingshan is struggling to meet the requirements set by the Beijing leadership within two days. 。This is no wonder! It's not easy to capture Li Xiaogang within two days; 6 million might be achievable in two days, but resorting to banks or individuals would only be a temporary fix and wouldn't fully meet the higher-ups' requirements for a proper resolution.

However, Xiao Zheng’s mentality is even more optimistic. He never gives up until the very end. 。From being a grassroots cadre who was suppressed to his current position as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of Baoyuan County, he has experienced too many ups and downs and faced too many "last-minute" reversals! This time, Xiheitou and Chen Qingshan seem to have encountered such a stumbling block again. 。When faced with major difficulties, people inevitably feel powerless and hesitant. 。Xiao Zheng believed that at this time, as a subordinate, he had no other choice but to support his leader. 。Xiao Zheng also took a puff of smoke, exhaling into the cold air outside, and said, "Secretary Chen, it's only been a few hours since two days have passed, we still have time! I believe there will be a turnaround!"

Chen Qingshan turned his head to look at Xiao Zheng: "There will be a turnaround Comrade Xiao Zheng, you're just comforting me, aren't you" Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Both comfort and belief" 。Until the very last moment, why should we give up Secretary Chen, I believe that everything you have done over the years should be done with a clear conscience!

A clear conscience!

Outside the window, a cold wind swept through the sky, seeming to erase the clouds. 。Chen Qingshan seemed to have suddenly understood. That's right, just be honest with oneself, wasn't that enough For a long time before, Chen Qingshan believed that his chances of promotion were slim. So everything he did was based on the standard of being able to face himself without shame. When he acted this way, his heart felt vast and unburdened, and Chen Qingshan would no longer be troubled >>> 。Lately, seeing himself on the verge of promotion, his ambition and desire for fame and fortune have intensified. Recent events have further shaken his composure. 。Once you place too much emphasis on gains and losses, fame and fortune, a person is prone to anxiety, weakness, and vulnerability! Seeing the last wisp of cloud in the sky disappear, the heavens are so blue. 。Chen Qingshan turned his head and reached out to Xiao Zheng: “A word awakens a dreamer!” 。What does it matter to me What's mine is mine, and what's not mine, no amount of forcing will make it so. 。Until the very last moment, we cannot give up, nor should we be concerned with success or failure, just do it! Xiao Zheng's heart was invigorated, and he said, "It seems that Secretary Chen has already figured it out." 。At this moment, Chen Qingshan's phone on the table rang. 。Chen Qingshan walked over, picked up his phone, and answered it: "Hello, Director Ye, is there anything going on" Ye Longyu's voice was filled with surprise: "Secretary Chen, our dispatched police officers called back to report that the authorities in Longxi Province are willing to cooperate with us. They can open their surveillance footage and are also willing to send police officers to assist us in search and arrest operations!"

Hearing this, Chen Qingshan couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zheng, but still said to Ye Longyu: "That's good, you tell the officers to race against time and do everything they can to find Li Xiaogang as soon as possible and bring him to justice." 。"We will definitely do our best," Ye Longyu replied. 。“Hanging up the phone, Chen Qingshan said to Xiao Zheng: “It seems that the Director Liu you mentioned really helped us get support from the leaders of the Beijing Public Security Bureau!”Xiao Zheng smiled and said: “That’s good!” Chen Qingshan’s mental state improved a lot: “Minister Xiao, I’m fine here for now, you should go busy with your own work first. We’ll contact each other if there’s any situation.” 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Good" 。After lunch, Xiao Zheng returned to the office. It was still early, not even half past twelve. 。Xiao Zheng just wanted to give Xiao Jingyu a call. 。Recently, I have a lot on my mind and just want to talk to someone. Xiao Zheng naturally thought of his wife. 。However, when I called, all I got was a busy tone. 。

Who is Xiao Jingyu talking to on the phone Xiao Zheng had to put down his phone. 。In Jingzhou City, Aiyuehai Community

The doorbell rang at Xiao Zheng's parents' house. 。Li Haiyan said, "Uncle and aunt, I'll go open the door. It should be Gao Secretary from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection." 。Just now, Xiao Jingyu told Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei that Gao Cheng'han, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, wants to come over and talk about something. 。Fei Qingmei said, "Okay, Haiyan, you go open the door, I'll make tea." 。d him that the hotel had a suitable venue and that the Xiao family's plane could land directly there. 。Xiao Zheng then told his father the situation. 。However, Wei Xishan has already flown abroad and...
