Chapter 622: Remember the Lesson

Facing Long Gang’s reminder.

Wan Zhenting felt cold all over...

He knew very well that it was the provincial department leader who asked Long Gang to pass on a message to him.

But after thinking it over, he couldn't remember what outrageous things he had done during his contact with Gao Lingyue to make the provincial and ministerial leaders so angry!

He seemed to have been in single contact with Gao Lingyue, and the comrades in the Municipal Bureau had no idea what they had talked about...

Who would tell on me?

How could this happen?

What rumors did the provincial and ministerial leaders hear?

suddenly!

He shuddered, realizing that the crux of the matter might not be what he thought.

The reason why the provincial department leaders sent Long Gang to criticize him was probably because he did not report Gao Lingyue's itinerary in Pingyang to the provincial department leaders in a timely and proactive manner!

To the extent that the provincial and ministerial leaders believed that Wan Zhenting was won over by Gao Lingyue and did some shameful things behind their backs?

That must be the case!

Otherwise, why would the provincial and ministerial leaders send people to criticize him for no apparent reason?

It was also my fault for being careless and not reporting to Pei Yulin and Wu Chengzhu in time what Gao Lingyue had done in Pingyang these days!

After thinking all this through, Wan Zhenting slapped his forehead in frustration. How could he make such a low-level mistake?

At this moment, he felt very guilty, because he was really tempted by the big pie Gao Lingyue had painted, and thought about how to cling to Gao Lingyue's thigh in order to get promoted!

Even if he did not take the initiative to report Gao Lingyue's situation to the provincial department, the provincial department leaders must know everything!

How could his little trick escape the eyes of provincial and ministerial leaders who were always keeping an eye on everything?

When Wan Zhenting thought of the angry looks of Governor Pei and Director Wu, he felt a chill on his back and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He looked at Long Gang pitifully and begged, "Xiao Gang, did I do something wrong? Do the provincial department leaders have any opinions about me? As someone close to the leader, you must find a way to help me put in a good word! I am a firm supporter of the provincial department leaders and will never do anything that would betray them."

Long Gang then took a sip of the teacup, put it down, and said with a smile, "Director Wan, you think too much. I have already said that I am representing myself, not Governor Pei or Director Wu... I said this with good intentions, because I found that Director Gao is good at winning over our local leaders. I am afraid that you will trust him and do something illegal for him. If that happens, your bright future will be ruined!"

The more he said he didn't represent Pei Yulin... the more panicked Wan Zhenting felt. Because Long Gang's eyes and tone clearly implied that he was speaking on behalf of the provincial department leaders...

Wan Zhenting wiped the sweat from his forehead and forced a grin, "Well...thank you for your reminder, brother...I can see that this Director Gao...Gao Lingyue is not a good guy. He bullies the weak all the time. If you follow him, you will ruin your future sooner or later...Don't worry, I know my limits and won't easily believe his promises."

Seeing Wan Zhenting admit that Gao Lingyue had tried to win him over, Long Gang smiled and nodded, as if to say, it is a great honor to admit one's mistakes and improve upon them!

Wan Zhenting understood and quickly picked up the kettle to refill Long Gang's tea, looking grateful and cautious.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, brother Long Gang, since you reminded me, I haven't reported Gao Lingyue's situation in Pingyang to the provincial department leaders these days... Look, is it too late for me to call Governor Pei now to report?"

He wanted to ask, could Governor Pei still forgive him?

Long Gang couldn't say it directly, so he hinted, "Governor Pei and Director Gao are in contact on a regular basis. I think he should know everything, right? If Director Wan is really interested, why not call Governor Pei later when he's alone and listen to his instructions!"

"oh!"

Wan Zhenting nodded thoughtfully. From what Long Gang said, he felt that this matter could still be salvaged.

At this point, Wan Zhenting finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that after Long Gang left, he would definitely call Governor Pei and Director Wu to explain everything and try to gain the understanding and forgiveness of the two main leaders.

"Okay, the dinner tonight will be arranged at Dongsheng Hotel. I will send the room number to your phone then."

After saying that, Long Gang stood up and shook hands with Wan Zhenting goodbye.

Wan Zhenting was a little slow to react. It was not until Long Gang's hand was stretched out in front of him that he hurriedly stood up and held Long Gang's hand.

He said, "Okay, I will be there on time in the evening."

Long Gang asked him, "I also have an appointment with County Magistrate Li Lin tonight... I guess Director Wan knows how to deal with it, right?"

Wan Zhenting was stunned for a moment, wondering if Gao Lingyue was going to show his cards forcefully?

But Li Lin is not someone you can easily mess with!

The two of them are bound to have a heated argument at the wine table!

What did Long Gang mean? Did he want him to choose a side?

Needless to say, with the warning from the provincial and ministerial leaders, we must stand on the side of our comrades!

Li Lin is a special commissioner of the provincial department. He is a promising talent favored by Governor Pei and Director Wu. We must support him!

Wan Zhenting smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do!"

After Long Gang left.

Wan Zhenting dialed Pei Yulin's number with a nervous mood.

The house is so quiet that you can almost hear your heartbeat...

The phone beeped for a long, long time, as if it had lasted for a century, before it was finally connected.

Pei Yulin's majestic voice came slowly, "Hello?"

Wan Zhenting felt his whole body tremble, and his throat was knotted with nervousness. "Leader... Leader... I am Wan Zhenting..."

Pei Yulin asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Wan Zhenting swallowed his saliva, tried to calm down, and said, "Leader, I was not careful enough and did not report Director Gao's whereabouts to you in time. I hope you can... forgive my negligence."

Pei Yulin laughed coldly, "Old Wan, I'm not saying anything bad about you. I told you clearly on the phone before that you should just stop there. You knew that what Director Gao was going to do was against the rules, but you were still eager to help make it happen. Aren't you afraid that the provincial department will hold you accountable in the end? You don't have any fear at all! Fortunately, Li Lin pushed you back, otherwise, I think you would have made a big mistake!"

Facing Pei Yulin's reprimand, Wan Zhenting nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes... I was not thoughtful enough, and my position was not firm... Thanks to the timely reminder from the leader, otherwise I would have fallen into the quagmire and could not get out... Please rest assured, leader, I will definitely remember this lesson..."

Pei Yulin said unhappily, "Okay, from now on you will just go through the motions with Director Gao, and do everything according to Long Gang's instructions. Don't be stupid and act like a pawn for others... If you weren't a cadre from Hanjiang, I wouldn't bother to remind you! I have something else to do, so that's it!"

"Yes, yes... Goodbye, leader..." Although they were separated by a phone call, Wan Zhenting still felt trembling all over when he felt Pei Yulin's majestic tone.

After hanging up the phone, he almost collapsed and slumped down in the boss chair, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

He thought to himself, what a close call, I almost offended the provincial department leaders and almost ruined my future!
