Tang Yiming sat in Qian Lingyun's office, feeling uncomfortable.

His hands were placed awkwardly on his knees, a silly smile was on his face, and every expression revealed restraint.

His eyes swept towards Qian Lingyun from time to time, trying to catch something from the other's expression, but he didn't dare to be too obvious and could only glance secretly.

Qian Lingyun raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, with a faint smile on his lips, and asked, "Secretary Tang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear in this quiet office.

Tang Yiming leaned forward suddenly, as if to show all his sincerity. With a warm smile on his face, he said, "Secretary Qian, I just came to ask you if you are satisfied with the office conditions of the Municipal Party Committee. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, please let me know and I will ask someone to improve it immediately."

He spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid of missing the opportunity to please.

Qian Lingyun slowly looked around the room. This office was his office when he was the deputy secretary.

Although this place does seem a bit small and shabby compared to Peng Yutao's spacious and imposing office, it is fully equipped with tables, chairs, bookcases, sofas, and coffee tables, and is quite practical.

With his usual frugal style, he would never be picky as long as it could be used.

"You came to me just for this?" Qian Lingyun's gaze fell back on Tang Yiming. "You may not understand my habits very well. I am not picky about things that can be used. As long as it is not completely broken and can still be used, I will not easily throw it away. So, in the future, you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing. You can make the arrangements as you see fit. As long as it is not extravagant, I have no objection."

Qian Lingyun knew clearly that people like Tang Yiming were not uncommon in official circles. They were like fence-sitters, leaning towards whichever side the wind was stronger. Their so-called loyalty was nothing more than a trade-off of interests.

He didn't want to push these people to the opposite side because of personal grudges. After all, this would not be beneficial to the development of work.

What he cares more about is whether a person can do his job well.

Tang Yiming was stunned for a moment. He carefully pondered Qian Lingyun's words and keenly heard that the other party's tone had softened a lot.

He was delighted and quickly took the opportunity to express his opinion, "Secretary Qian, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. When Peng Yutao was here, we did have a good relationship, but that was because he was his superior and I was his subordinate. I served the municipal party secretary, and it was a job requirement to have a good relationship with him. I didn't participate in any of the illegal and disorderly things he did... I hope you can believe me."

As he spoke, he observed Qian Lingyun's expression, his eyes full of a look of pleading for trust.

Qian Lingyun nodded silently, staring straight at Tang Yiming, and said, "I believe you! Now let me ask you a question. Who withheld the accident report of Ren Jianghai's factory and did not report it to the provincial party committee in time?"

This is both a test and an opportunity Qian Lingyun gives Tang Yiming. It depends on whether he tells the truth and surrenders sincerely.

Tang Yiming had never expected Qian Lingyun to ask so directly. He had been thinking of finding a suitable time to explain the matter, but when he was suddenly asked this question, his face instantly became awkward, and his eyes were full of guilt.

He lowered his head and pondered for a long time before he sighed, slowly stood up, and said hesitantly, "Secretary Qian, I was going to explain this to you... Since you ask now, I will tell you everything I know.

The whole thing was instigated by Peng Yutao. He asked me to withhold the accident report and report it to the provincial party committee a few days later. Then he went to see Secretary Wang in person and exaggerated the incident, putting the main responsibility on you. His purpose was to have you questioned by the provincial party committee... Later, you were suspended because of this incident. "

As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer and his head hung even lower.

Qian Lingyun frowned, his face gloomy, staring at Tang Yiming closely, and then asked, "I'm afraid you can't do such a thorough job by yourself? Who else is Peng Yutao's accomplice?"

Tang Yiming nodded weakly, his voice filled with frustration, "And your secretary Lu Hui, he is actually Peng Yutao's spy next to you. He reports your every move to Peng Yutao from time to time... Regarding the accident report, he lied to you that the report had been submitted, but in fact it was not submitted at all."

Qian Lingyun suddenly realized and couldn't help but sneer.

He had long suspected that there was something wrong with Lu Hui, but he had no solid evidence, so he didn't do anything to him.

After being dismissed for reporting the accident, he became even more certain that Lu Hui was Peng Yutao's man, so as soon as he returned to Pingyang, he drove Lu Hui away from him and assigned him to a small municipal unit as an ordinary clerk.

I didn't expect Peng Yutao to be so deep-minded that he even placed spies around him. It's really terrifying when you think about it.

Fortunately, he was usually on guard against Lu Hui and didn't let him know too many important things.

Qian Lingyun looked at Tang Yiming and saw that he had nothing to hide. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Secretary Tang, the past is the past. The municipal party committee will need capable people like you to take care of it in the future. I only have one request for you. No matter who will be the secretary of the municipal party committee in the future, you must do your job well!"

Tang Yiming was deeply moved to see Qian Lingyun forgive him. He immediately straightened his back and said, "Secretary Qian, don't worry, the position of municipal party secretary is definitely yours. I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future!"

Qian Lingyun smiled and said, "Haha, don't say such things. As long as the provincial party committee has not made it clear, I will still be the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. I am just temporarily leading everyone to do a good job. Okay, do you have anything else to do?"
