When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.
With no backing, Li Lin's polit...
Faced with Wang Qirui's aggressive tone, although Lu Chengze was very angry, he did not dare to lose his temper because he needed help from others and was under their control.
He had no choice but to suppress his anger and continue to persuade him with kind words, "Qi Rui, don't worry. The people I sent out have already delivered the materials to the desk of the main leader of the Yanjing Discipline Inspection Commission. He must have seen it by now. You also know that everything in the system has a process. Believe me, in the next two days, the Yanjing Discipline Inspection Commission will definitely take action, and Wu Chengzhu will fall soon! Then I will let Vice Governor Chu do Pei Yulin's work to ensure that you can smoothly take over the role of Wu Chengzhu."
Lu Chengze tried his best to make his voice sound calm and confident, but he was nervous inside. He knew very well that all this was full of variables and the slightest mistake would lead to eternal damnation.
Wang Qirui saw that Lu Chengze was speaking sincerely, and his anger subsided a little. He sighed and said helplessly, "Old leader, I just didn't control my emotions well, don't be angry... Do you know that Wu Chengzhu put pressure on me again just now, he criticized and hit me like criticizing a primary school student... I am also in my forties, and he treats me like this and makes me feel humiliated! So old leader, I beg you, please help me!"
"I know that Wu Chengzhu is the kind of person who is indifferent to emotions. He treats everyone in a businesslike manner. Don't take it to heart. Besides, he won't be able to stay alive for a few more days! You must stay calm now and don't panic!" Lu Chengze comforted Wang Qirui, but he sneered in his heart.
He thought, Wang Qirui, you have been in the provincial public security system for so many years, but you can't even suppress a newcomer! You still have the nerve to complain? Humph, you are so fucking incompetent and ridiculous! If I didn't need your help this time, I, Lu Chengze, would not bother with you, a weakling who can be manipulated by others!
"Okay, thank you for your support. I will stabilize the situation. After all, those men have followed me for many years and are trustworthy." Wang Qirui changed the way he addressed Lu Chengze from "you" to "you" and showed respect to him again.
This also shows that Wang Qirui is a narrow-minded person. Whoever is useful to him is a benefactor, and whoever is useless to him is a dispensable passerby!
When he meets a benefactor who can help him, he will kneel down and lick him. When he meets a useless person, he sneers at him and is too lazy to even look at him.
This kind of person is too realistic, only cares about interests, not friendship. This is why he has never been able to get promoted in all these years, because leaders are more willing to cultivate a person who knows how to be grateful...
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chengze sat heavily on the chair, holding his head in his hands, with a lot on his mind.
He knew clearly that if Wang Qirui's men told everything to the Pingyang police, then his situation would be bad!
He now regretted that he should not have asked Wang Qirui, an unreliable guy, for help. However, now that things had come to this, he could only try to minimize the risk. The only solution now was to get Wu Chengzhu out of office as soon as possible and put Wang Qirui in office. When Wang Qirui took over the power, he would not be afraid that the people in Pingyang would not obey!
At this time, his loyal driver came over quietly and whispered to him, "Boss, Mr. Yue is here."
The Mr. Yue he mentioned is Yue Chuan.
Lu Chengze doesn't like others calling Yue Chuan "son-in-law" in front of him. Every time he hears this name, he feels sad.
He thought of his daughter's past elegance. Such an outstanding person, but in the end she married Yue Chuan, a little man from a grassroots background.
There were so many young men in the capital who pursued his daughter, but fate played a trick on her and gave the sinister guy Yue Chuan the chance.
It makes me depressed just thinking about it!
But now, the Lu family is like a candle in the wind...half of its former glory has faded, and Yue Chuan, who has gradually made a name for himself, has barely entered Lu Chengze's eyes.
He sighed, nodded, and said, "Let him come over."
Not long after, Yue Chuan walked in with steady steps, sat down in front of Lu Chengze, his face as calm as ever.
"Xiaochuan, have you found the whereabouts of Lao Gu?" Lu Chengze asked calmly, his eyes fixed on Yue Chuan, not missing any change in his facial expression, as if he wanted to find the answer from his face.
Yue Chuan shook his head slightly, his hair swaying slightly with his movements, "Not yet, but soon."
His voice was as calm as water, without the slightest ripple, making it impossible to tell what he was really thinking.
Lu Chengze frowned, his brows twisted into a deep "川" shape, obviously dissatisfied with the answer, and asked, "Soon? What does that mean?" There was a hint of anxiety and dissatisfaction in his tone, and his eyes became sharper.
Yue Chuan remained calm, his lips slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and said, "We have found a clue, my people are on guard, and we will soon find his exact whereabouts."
There was a hint of confidence in his eyes, but there seemed to be something hidden behind that confidence.
"Oh, you've worked hard, but you still have to hold on tight... because not only are we looking for him, there's another group of people looking for him too! If he falls into their hands, our Lu family will be in big trouble!" Lu Chengze said calmly, but his clenched fists revealed his inner nervousness.
The "we" he said sounded somewhat ironic at the moment. Yue Chuan sneered in his heart. In the past, he had tried his best to get Lu Chengze to admit that he was a member of the Lu family, but he was rejected, ignored, and laughed at... Now that the Lu family is on the decline and there is no one available, you just remembered that I am also half a Lu family member? Ha, do you think you can move me by saying this now? Ridiculous!
Lu Chengze stood up and asked worriedly, "Did you find anyone following you on the way here? I don't want people to know that I'm in Hanjiang. That would make the leaders of the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee suspicious. If someone notices me, it will be difficult to do many things."
