"Your department did a good job this time. If you continue like this, the tasks assigned to you will be completed by the beginning of next year."
Guo Zhen was at work, following the leaders who came to inspect the area.
Guo Zhen was quite modest, saying, "It's because the leadership team is good; I just did my job."
The leader laughed and said, "Alright, stop being modest. Do you think I don't know your capabilities?"
He patted Guo Zhen on the shoulder and said approvingly, "Keep up the good work."
"I promise not to let the organization and leaders down."
Guo Zhen accompanied the inspecting leader and saw him off before heading to his own office.
His secretary followed him into the office.
"Director Guo, I just received news that Xia Lei has been arrested again."
Upon hearing this, Guo Zhen frowned. "What's going on?"
The secretary was also somewhat at a loss for words, and it took her a while to organize her thoughts before saying, "Xia Lei pushed Shan Yingguo's son off the second floor, and the kid is still in the hospital and hasn't survived..."
After a pause, the secretary glanced at Guo Zhen and said, "Shan Yingguo's son... seems to be with Comrade Liu."
Upon hearing this, Guo Zhen's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
However, now is not the time to cause trouble for Liu Yinyin.
Guo Zhen stood up and paced back and forth.
The Shan family will definitely not let Xia Lei go, nor will they let the police let him go, even though they attributed most of Xia Lei's criminal traces to Li Hu, who committed the crime with Xia Lei.
If the police investigate thoroughly, they will definitely find that Xia Lei was involved in the trafficking of cultural relics.
It won't be long before they find the people involved.
Although Guo Zhen could ensure that the other party wouldn't betray him, ...
Guo Zhen's eyes darkened. He was furious with Xia Lei, but then he suddenly realized that the reason Xia Lei hit Shan Yingguo's son, Shan Fangdu, was probably because Liu Yinyin and Shan Fangdu were together...
That troublesome woman...
He even hated the women he used to sleep with.
You're really causing him trouble!
Thinking this, Guo Zhen turned around and said to his secretary, "I need to go to the Public Security Bureau."
The secretary quickly got the car and drove Guo Zhen to the police station.
Guo Zhen also had acquaintances in the Public Security Bureau, and he asked someone to let him know that he wanted to see Xia Lei and Liu Yinyin.
Upon hearing those two names, the man looked troubled. "Director Guo, the person has been taken away by the Central Committee."
Guo Zhen was taken aback. "What?"
“Just an hour ago, before we had even started the trial of Xia Lei, people from the Central Committee came and took him away without giving any reason.”
"As you know, they are of a higher rank than us, and we can't stop them from taking people away if they want to."
Guo Zhen felt a sudden panic for a moment, but then he realized something was wrong and forced himself to say, "Okay... I understand, it's okay."
Guo Zhen exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party before leaving the police station.
His face was extremely pale, and he felt as if countless eyes were watching him intently from the shadows...
He shouldn't have come looking for Xia Lei at this time...
May 27th is a day off. Zhou Mingli doesn't have much work to do today, but Jiang Ci needs to go to a meeting with the minister.
After looking around for a while, she finally chose a white shirt and a blue skirt that reached her calves.
Zhou Mingli leaned closer to Jiang Ci from behind and helped her zip up her skirt, tying the thin strap into a pretty bow at the waist.
In the past six months, their meals have improved a lot, but Jiang Ci has been busy all the time and hasn't gained any weight. She has a slender waist, clean and presentable clothes, and her long hair has been cut short, revealing her increasingly beautiful features.
“When I left work yesterday, Cheng Wenyun gave me all the original documents, including that photo and those three gold bars.” Zhou Mingli watched as she took out her lipstick, leaned closer to the mirror, reached out and took the lipstick from her hand, lifted her chin, and carefully traced her lips with his eyes and hands. “No matter how powerful those people are, they are still human. Don’t be afraid.”
Jiang Ci waited until he finished applying lipstick, pursed her lips, and under Zhou Mingli's gaze, curled her lips into a smile. She placed her hand on his chest, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Who's nervous?"
Knowing what was going to happen today, Zhou Mingli's heart was pounding wildly.
Her hand rested on it, and she felt as if his heart might jump out of his chest at any moment.
Zhou Mingli smiled helplessly and admitted directly, "I'm nervous."
Jiang Ci stood on tiptoe, tilted her head back, and kissed him on the cheek, leaving an ambiguous red mark. She said casually, "I don't know why, but I'm not nervous at all. I even feel a sense of ease, like I'm about to hand over important things to someone else to do."
"There's not much I can do next, so I'm not in a hurry, and you don't need to worry."
Seeing that she showed no fear whatsoever, Zhou Mingli finally agreed after a moment.
Zhou Mingli rode his bicycle to take Jiang Ci to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where she would ride in the minister's car to attend meetings together.
After watching Jiang Ci enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhou Mingli turned and left.
He hadn't gone far when Zhou Mingli heard a horn sound. He turned around and saw a car parked on the road with an elderly man sitting inside.
The car window rolled down, revealing the old man's face. Zhou Mingli looked at him calmly.
Single-born succulent.
...
The meeting was held in a side hall of the Great Hall of the People. As usual, there were many people present. Jiang Ci was just a minor figure. She was seated at the back and was responsible for taking notes and reporting on some minor matters.
People began to arrive around nine o'clock in the morning.
Dan Shengshuo arrived just in time. His gaze swept around and landed on Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci glanced up casually and met his gaze.
Shan Shengshuo smiled kindly and was surrounded by people as he went to his seat.
The tedious meeting lasted for nearly three hours before it was paused. After lunch and a rest, another meeting was scheduled to continue.
Jiang Ci works for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so naturally he followed the minister and deputy ministers, and also went to lunch with them.
Coincidentally, several high-ranking leaders also arrived at the canteen. They were acquainted with the minister and sat down to chat with him.
Others were too far away to hear, but they could vaguely hear the top leaders saying that some policies had not yet been fully implemented, and asking how the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was doing.
The minister glanced at Jiang Ci, who put down her chopsticks and answered the leader's questions one by one.
She is quick-witted and speaks in a clear and organized manner.
When the top leaders heard that diplomatic relations between China and European countries had eased, they nodded slightly and repeated some of the things they had said at the meeting that day, re-analyzing the benefits.
Jiang Ci was highly focused and barely ate anything, leaving more than half of his food uneaten.
Jiang Ci looked at the leftover food with regret. She had originally planned to take it all with her, but she had a meeting in the afternoon, and the leftovers would easily spoil in the hot weather, so it wouldn't be good to bring them to the meeting.
She could only try to shovel a few more mouthfuls into her stomach and hurry to catch up with the leader before he left.
