Tang Yiming was much more relaxed, and the smile on his face became more natural. He lowered his hands and said respectfully, "It's okay, Secretary Qian. If you need anything, just tell me. I'm always at your service."

"Well, I'll find you if I need you." Qian Lingyun said.

After Tang Yiming left, Yang Heping hurried in.

He originally came to congratulate Qian Lingyun, but as soon as he received a call from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, his face instantly became solemn.

He didn't even bother to make lighthearted jokes with his old friend Qian Lingyun. He said with a straight face and a serious expression, "Old Qian, I have something important to report to you. I just received a notice from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection that Shannan County Mayor Ma Qingyuan is suspected of serious violations of discipline. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection requires us to take immediate measures against him. You quickly make a decision!"

"Ma Qingyuan? Why is there still a matter about him?"

Qian Lingyun was surprised to hear that Ma Qingyuan was suspected of violating discipline.

In his impression, Ma Qingyuan is a down-to-earth and pragmatic person. He is very kind to his subordinates, humble and able to listen to different opinions.

He really couldn't understand how such a promising deputy director-level cadre could stand on the wrong side and be willing to become a pawn of the local faction?

Yang Heping sighed and said, "I was also surprised... As the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection deepened its investigation into Lu Chengze and others, they gradually got clues about Ma Qingyuan's violations of laws and disciplines... The Provincial Party Committee's opinion is to immediately detain Ma Qingyuan for investigation!"

"I agree!" Qian Lingyun said solemnly, "You should immediately arrange for action."

"Should we go to the Shannan County Government to arrest him directly, or notify him to come to the Municipal Party Committee?" Yang Heping asked.

Qian Lingyun thought for a moment and said calmly, "I think it would be better to notify him. Peng Yutao's case has caused a lot of uproar in Pingyang some time ago. If we arrest a county leader now, it will probably make people in Shannan County panic."

Yang Heping nodded slowly and asked, "Who should make this call? What if we alert the enemy?"

Qian Lingyun said, "Is Liu Yong waiting outside to see me? I think it would be most appropriate to let him, the county party secretary, notify Ma Qingyuan. This would not easily arouse his vigilance."

Yang Heping slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Yes, how could I forget about Liu Yong, the county party secretary! He is the most suitable person to come forward... I will call him in now!"

Qian Lingyun nodded in agreement.

Yang Heping walked quickly to the door, opened it, stuck his head out, and shouted into the corridor, "Liu Yong! Come here!"

Liu Yong, who was waiting in line in the corridor to see Qian Lingyun, was startled by Yang Heping's sudden shout.

Hearing Yang Heping's voice, he was as nervous as a new soldier. He stood up and shouted at the top of his voice, "Here!"

Yang Heping frowned, looked at the silly Liu Yong, and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Do you think I'm calling the roll? Secretary Qian is looking for you, come in quickly!"

"Yes!" Liu Yong agreed and walked towards Qian Lingyun's office mechanically.

As soon as he entered the room, a comrade from the Municipal Party Committee Office announced to everyone in the corridor, "Dear leaders, Secretary Qian is about to go to a meeting and will not be able to meet with everyone one by one. If you have urgent matters, you can come to me and file a case, and I will convey them on your behalf. Everyone else can go away!"

When everyone heard this, their faces were filled with disappointment.

They had all been looking forward to meeting Qian Lingyun as soon as possible, expressing their own positions and attitudes, and then listening to Qian Lingyun's instructions, so that they would have a direction for their future work, so as to avoid being unable to figure out the leader's thoughts and messing up the work.

Unfortunately, I waited in line for half a day but didn’t even get to see the leader.

No one dared to complain loudly. They just muttered a few words quietly and left the municipal party committee building in twos and threes.

Soon, the corridor outside Qian Lingyun's door became quiet.

Liu Yong stood in front of Qian Lingyun. He lost his previous calmness and boldness and became cautious.

He smiled and giggled, so nervous that he didn't know what to say.

Qian Lingyun took out a pack of cigarettes and threw it to him, saying, "Don't you smoke too? Go ahead and sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Secretary." Liu Yong took the cigarette and opened it, then handed one to Yang Heping. When he was about to hand it to Qian Lingyun, he found that he had already lit a cigarette and was smoking leisurely.

Qian Lingyun nodded to Yang Heping and said, "Old Yang, go ahead! Explain the specific situation and action plan to Secretary Liu so that he can have an idea and cooperate."

Yang Heping then explained Ma Qingyuan's situation to Liu Yong in detail, and finally said to Liu Yong with a serious face, "Secretary Liu, the municipal party committee's opinion is to immediately detain Ma Qingyuan for investigation. In order to reduce the negative impact, you should call Ma Qingyuan and ask him to come to the municipal party committee meeting immediately. We will control him at the meeting site."

ah?

Something happened to Lao Ma?

Liu Yong looked incredulous.
