Minister Li's dissatisfaction with Vice Minister Zhao had become public. Today, Foreign Minister Zheng had publicly reprimanded Vice Minister Zhao and ordered him to write a self-criticism, but Director Zheng stubbornly refused. This angered Vice Minister Zhao, who then launched into a scathing critique of Director Zheng's lack of organizational discipline at a meeting, suggesting he should receive further ideological education at a Party school. However, Minister Li was the second to speak up. He severely criticized Vice Minister Zhao for making a mountain out of a molehill. "The couple were being affectionate, but there was nothing indecent about it. Why is this vice minister so fixated on it?" Minister Li continued. "Recently, the ministry's workload has been increasing, but some ministry leaders are spending all their time not thinking about how to do their work well, but instead running around doing other things. This trend cannot be allowed to continue!" Minister Li finished speaking and glanced at Vice Minister Zhao, whose face was dark with anger.

The propaganda department had just finished a meeting, but the things that happened at the meeting were already spreading like wildfire.

Li Jinbo almost publicly criticized Vice Minister Zhao, which brought the conflict into the open. Li Jinbo's tough stance, almost to the point of directly criticizing Vice Minister Zhao, was due to Qin Nan's support.

It can be said that Li Jinbo is Qin Nan's strong assistant. Even if Li Jinbo criticizes Vice Minister Zhao, Qin Nan will still support him.

Vice Minister Zhao and another Vice Minister Zhang have been overdoing things lately, constantly running around to see the leaders. Li Jinbo is unhappy about this, and Qin Nan isn't blind or deaf either; he's heard about it too.

After being criticized by Li Jinbo, Vice Minister Zhao became more low-key, and the matter of Zheng Le writing a self-criticism was naturally dropped.

After get off work at noon, Zhang Guodong came to pick up Zheng Le. As a husband, sometimes you have to show off a little to satisfy your wife's vanity; it's a kind of romance, too.

He hailed a taxi and came over. Instead of wandering around the provincial party committee building, Zhang Guodong simply sat down at a casual lounge across the street, ordered a drink, and checked the time.

As soon as it was time to leave work, Zhang Guodong paid his bill and left the store. Just then, a red sports car whizzed past him, narrowly missing him.

The red sports car screeched to a halt, and a young man dressed in designer clothes stepped out. Pointing at Zhang Guodong, he yelled, "You, Peng, are you looking for death? Didn't you see my car coming? If you hit it and scratch it, can you, you country bumpkin, afford to pay for it?"

Zhang Guodong's face darkened immediately.

I haven't even bothered you yet, and you're already turning around and cursing at me?

"Keep a low profile! This is the provincial party committee; we can't cause any more trouble for my woman!"

We just got Zheng Le involved in the matter this morning, and now it's only noon, and we're bringing it up again as the focus of attention. It's not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

"What's wrong with you, you country bumpkin? You're not happy? Look at this bouquet of flowers, it costs ten thousand silver dollars. Can you afford it? Get out of here, I hate seeing you!" The young man saw Zhang Guodong glaring at him with a fierce look on his face, so he picked up a bouquet of flowers and mocked him.

Zhang Guodong suddenly smiled, shook his head slightly, and wondered, "Which spoiled brat is it now? Or perhaps a rich second-generation?"

"Qin Tian, ​​the youngest son of Executive Vice Governor Qin Haoran, is going to have a good show to watch!" someone said from the gatekeeper not far away. These gatekeepers were all sharp-eyed and knew the intricacies of relationships within the provincial party committee. They pretended not to see him, but glanced at him every now and then.

"Isn't Young Master Qin currently pursuing Zheng Le, the former star host? I heard this morning that Zheng Le's husband came and even had a falling out with Vice Minister Zhao. I think that Zheng Le, that beautiful flower, is destined to be picked by Young Master Qin!"

A married woman? What's wrong with a married woman?

In the face of power, chastity means nothing.

Who can blame them when Zheng Le was already a famous woman, and is now even more beautiful? Many men like women like her and see her as a target for conquest.

"Damn, these young masters are really rich. They've probably spent over a hundred thousand on flowers these past few days, right? Zheng Le didn't accept those flowers and just threw them in the trash, and he didn't even flinch!" another gatekeeper said.

"I've heard that Vice Governor Qin might be appointed as the new governor during the reshuffle."

Zhang Guodong initially intended to leave and deal with the guy later. However, upon hearing the guards' hushed conversation, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

"You said you bought these flowers for ten thousand yuan?"

Zhang Guodong snatched it away, threw it on the ground, and kicked it several times.

How much is it worth now?

Qin Ershao was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at Zhang Guodong. He probably hadn't expected that there would be someone in the provincial party committee who would dare to embarrass him like this.

You know, all these security guards know him. Has this bastard never heard of him?

The 10,000 yuan donation is indeed real.

Even if it's not worth ten thousand, it's still several thousand. Seeing the beautiful flower turned into a pile of rubble on the ground, Young Master Qin sneered, laughing in extreme anger.

"You little brat, you've got guts! You dare step on my flowers?"

"You guys saw what just happened, right? You know what to do, right? This guy came to the provincial party committee to cause trouble. If he does anything to harm the leaders, you'll be held responsible. At the very least, arrest him and interrogate him!" Although Young Master Qin was furious and wanted to kill Zhang Guodong, this playboy wasn't that stupid.

In the provincial party committee area, surveillance is very tight. To get in, unless you have someone you know, you have to go through a strict screening process.

His father, Qin Haoran, is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor, ranking fifth in the Provincial Party Committee. He is also a leading candidate for the next governor.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the position of executive vice governor is generally intended to cultivate the future governor. When the governor steps down to the second line, the executive vice governor smoothly takes over, which is a significant advantage.

That's the general situation, though of course, this is just a general case.

So, to avoid causing his father too much trouble, Qin Ershao sent out the security guards. Sending out the guards was perfectly justified.

Once locked up, it would be a piece of cake to mold Zhang Guodong into a round or flat shape.

Looking at Zhang Guodong's clothes, they're so ordinary; the total cost of his entire outfit is probably less than a thousand yuan. Meanwhile, the clothes Zhang Guodong is wearing are worth tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan—that's the difference!

When the guards saw Qin Ershao summoning them, they hesitated for a moment, then their faces hardened, and they came over.

The gatekeeper didn't know who Zhang Guodong was. He hadn't witnessed what happened that morning. But who could possibly be more powerful than the Executive Vice Governor?

If we're talking about serious mistakes, the chances are slim! Getting on good terms with Young Master Qin might change his environment. Being a doorman ultimately has no status; a permanent position, or even better, an administrative one, would be a secure job!

"Second Young Master, don't worry. I've suspected something's wrong with this guy loitering around here for a while now. The leader's safety is the most important thing. We'll interrogate him properly!" A security guard, brandishing an electric baton, fawned over Second Young Master Qin. But when he looked at Zhang Guodong, his face was contorted with malice.

"Okay, fine. Uh..." Suddenly, Young Master Qin foamed at the mouth and had an epileptic seizure.

The gatekeeper was horrified when he saw this and quickly helped Qin Er Shao up before he hit the ground.

What's wrong?

How did this accident happen in this very place?

"Second Young Master, what's wrong? What's wrong?"

This all happened so suddenly. Qin Ershao's identity was too sensitive; suddenly foaming at the mouth, his life was in danger. The gatekeeper could no longer care about Zhang Guodong.

"Quickly, quickly, get the Second Young Master to the hospital!"

"Sure. Serves you right for daring to lay a finger on my wife!" Zhang Guodong took a few steps back, feeling quite pleased. Zhang held grudges, and this Second Young Master Qin was unlucky enough to dare pursue his wife for some time!

This made Zhang Guodong's face darken, and his heart almost turned black as well.

How could any man tolerate this?

I'll add some ingredients, you won't even have to lift a finger. We're reasonable people!

"No way, I'll have to teach them a lesson from now on. Let's see which bastard dares to lay a hand on my wife!" Zhang Pujing made his decision. He felt this matter was a bit urgent. His woman was in officialdom, and so beautiful; what if she suffered a loss someday?

Zhang Guodong then thought of Xiang Chunyan. She was also his woman, and even more mature and alluring than Zheng Le. It wasn't safe to be there either!

This time, Zhang Guodong is really getting anxious!

"What? Xiao Zhang almost got into a fight with Vice Governor Qin's youngest son? And Qin Tian is actually sick? Are you sure Xiao Zhang didn't lay a hand on him? Oh, that's good!"

Not only did Li Jinbo know about this, but Fatty's father also found out.

However, the surveillance footage proved that Zhang Guodong only stepped on the flower and did not actually hurt it. Perhaps Qin Tian has some hidden ailment? No one can cause trouble for Zhang Guodong in this matter.

Even though Qin Haoran was furious, he couldn't openly cause trouble for Zhang Guodong. After all, he had heard about his youngest son's character, and now he had even caused a scene by pursuing a married woman in the provincial party committee, putting him in the wrong.

Moreover, Qin Haoran was afraid that his political enemies would use this incident to attack him. How could someone who couldn't even educate his own children be expected to lead the economy of a province?

You know, that's a pretty powerful reason!

So even though his son was inexplicably admitted to the hospital, he didn't dare to cause trouble for Zhang Guodong. Even at the Standing Committee meeting, Qin Haoran offered self-criticism and a verbal self-criticism, preemptively silencing his political enemies.

That's a clever move!

"Qin Haoran has already made a verbal self-criticism at the Standing Committee meeting. Secretary Lin and Governor Ying both said they wouldn't pursue the matter further, but advised each of them to educate their own children well. It's such a pity!" Wang Yunyi said at home after the Standing Committee meeting.

He could understand the concerns of the top two leaders. With the leadership transition imminent, no one wanted to cause trouble, and stability was the top priority.

"This brother Zhang really knows how to cause trouble. In just one day, he's gotten himself into two troubles, and he's won both of them! He's not one to suffer a loss!" Li Jinbo thought to himself at home.

They were even more curious: Qin Tian was perfectly fine, so why did he suddenly fall ill?

Considering Zhang Guodong's status as a "miracle doctor," if he wanted to harm someone without anyone noticing, even a slight mistake in administering the wrong medicine would turn it into poison!

However, this matter cannot be told to anyone.

Although Li Jinbo frowned at Zhang Guodong, who broke the rules, Zhang Guodong was not part of the system, so it was understandable that he used some underworld methods. Moreover, although Qin Haoran and Qin Nan shared the same surname, they were not from the same faction and did not usually like each other. Li Jinbo was actually happy that Zhang Guodong did this.

Back home, Zheng Le asked Zhang Guodong if he was involved, but Zhang Guodong refused to admit it, saying that the provincial party committee was monitoring him closely and that he had never been in contact with Qin Ershao.

Zheng Le's worry turned to joy, and he showered Zhang Guodong with several kisses. However, this inappropriate behavior was witnessed by the three little ones.

Zhang Xiaowen stretched out her two little hands and said, "Mommy, I want one too!"

But this is not the end of the story.

The next day, the son of a deputy director of the provincial organization department who had previously harassed Zheng Le suffered brake failure and was seriously injured, nearly dying. It was said that on his way back to the city after a day of fun in the countryside, his car crashed into a guardrail. Fortunately, the guardrail was sturdy enough; otherwise, the car would have been hurt if it had gone down a steep slope. This deputy director's son was also an administrative cadre—the county magistrate.

There's also some inside information: Qin Er Shao has started pursuing Zheng Le as well, which is why the deputy minister's son backed down. He didn't dare compete with Qin Er Shao.

"Zhao Jin, deputy director of the provincial party committee's general office, was caught by police in an anti-prostitution raid at a star-rated hotel. One of the two women in the room was a minor, and it was confirmed that they had engaged in a transaction."

"Deputy Minister Lu of the Provincial City Organization Department was hospitalized due to a sudden heart attack, but his condition was unstable. After diagnosis, the doctor advised the Municipal Party Committee that Deputy Minister Lu was no longer fit to hold a leadership position and should take early medical leave at home."

"Secretary Lin of the High-tech Zone Party Committee was suspended from investigation by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection for embezzlement and bribery, and subsequently placed under investigation."

"Zhou, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial City Government and Vice Mayor, was investigated by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for keeping a mistress and having a large amount of unexplained funds."

This series of events, unfolding within just three days, has shaken not only the district committee but also the municipal and provincial committees. Provincial Party Secretary Lin and Governor Ying are both furious; someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes. Otherwise, why would these events be brought to light at this crucial juncture of a major reshuffle of provincial and municipal leaders?

But with conclusive evidence, an investigation is still necessary.

However, given the concentration of these events and the fact that the officials involved have reached the level of provincial-level officials, this matter is far from simple.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!" The Party Secretary and the Governor both approved. Although this happened during a leadership transition, does that mean the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government should abandon their work just because of the transition? They will spare no effort!

This also serves as an implicit explanation to the central government: although so many things have happened just before the leadership transition, the Xiqin Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government are capable of resolving these issues and will never tolerate any crimes such as dereliction of duty or embezzlement by officials!

After all, this matter now involves two officials at the ministerial level, and it needs to be reported to the central government; it cannot be concealed.

However, the second consensus is that when investigating and resolving these cases and the officials involved, the matter should not be escalated or made public.

"Guodong, my dad's looking for you. We're having dinner at my house tonight!" the fat man said to Zhang Guodong on the phone.

Just then, Zhang Guodong was in Ye Yun's room, and Ye Yun's face was flushed. Clearly, this man had made advances towards her earlier. Zheng Le was at work, and Ye Yun hadn't gone to the hotel. She had gone there specifically to have a tryst with this young man.

But just as they started getting handsy, the fat man called.

Seeing Ye Yun's resentful eyes and flushed face, Zhang Guodong scolded the fat man for choosing the wrong time to make the call. But upon hearing that it was the fat man's father who had invited him, Zhang Guodong could only keep quiet.

"knew!"

He slammed the phone down, and the fat guy on the other end was stunned: "What the hell? You hung up on me?"

Zhang Guodong pinched Ye Yun's cheek and teased, "Little girl, I'll take care of you again when you get back tonight. Fatty's dad's invited you; you can't refuse!"

It's really annoying. The phone call came at the worst possible time, and just when I was getting into the mood, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured on me.

That's what best friends are like—they're always ruining things!

"Master, I can't wait any longer, shall we do it now?" Ye Yun added with her alluring eyes, and straddled Zhang Guodong's lap, moving around a few times in a seductive manner. As a result, Zhang Guodong broke out in a cold sweat and fled the room as if he were escaping.

Her voice was truly alluring, and her movements even more fiery; Zhang Guodong was utterly aroused. After giving birth, Ye Yun's charm was even greater than before. Moreover, having originally been a teacher but then transitioning to the entertainment industry, she was incredibly experienced with women, making dealing with Zhang Guodong a piece of cake.

After Zhang Guodong left the room, Ye Yun revealed a charming smile: "Little man, you actually dared to flirt with me, you've got some nerve! Hehe!"

She did it on purpose, and as a result, Zhang Guodong lost first.

When Zhang Guodong drove to Fatty's villa, the No. 1 villa of the Municipal Standing Committee, Fatty was already at the door. He usually spent his time in Zhangba Township, working tirelessly. It was quite a surprise that Fatty had actually returned.

"Do you know why your dad wanted to see me?" Zhang Guodong asked as soon as he opened his mouth. He was indeed puzzled by this!
