I immediately saw through his intention. Obviously, he thought it was natural for me to replace Liu Xiuwen as the executive deputy county magistrate. In this way, the position of director of the Development Zone Management Committee would be vacant, and he, Zhang Weiguo, was coveting this position. I pretended to be surprised and asked, "Director Zhang, are you interested in the position of executive deputy county magistrate?"
He quickly denied it: "County Magistrate Guan, you misunderstood. I don't have such unreasonable thoughts. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this position belongs to you."
I narrowed my eyes, thinking in my heart that I would let him see my trump card, otherwise he would underestimate me: "So, you are thinking about the position of director of the management committee?"
He smiled awkwardly, trying to hide his inner desire: "Water flows to low places, flesh flows to high places, this is common sense."
I nodded to show my understanding: "Director Zhang is right. However, I only have one vote in the county committee, so I dare not brag in front of you."
He smiled and seemed confident: "As the director of the management committee, your recommendation of the successor is crucial. As for the other leaders of the county party committee, I will find a way myself."
I knew that he would definitely use Xu Guangming's connections to help him, so I pointed it out and said in a deep voice, "The problem is whether County Magistrate Tong will agree. After all, Xiao Yubo has been a great help to him, and it is reasonable for him to hope that Xiao can make further progress."
He responded confidently: "So, in this matter, County Magistrate Guan's attitude is the most critical."
I nodded in agreement: "Brother, after all, we have worked together twice, so I will naturally stand on your side. But you have to give me a reason that is justified enough to recommend you. Right now, the upgrading of the development zone is a real opportunity to show my ability."
He slapped his thigh, unable to hide his excitement, and said, "County Magistrate Guan, I feel relieved after hearing what you said. Don't worry about this matter of going to the provincial level. I will definitely risk my life to make it happen."
Watching him leave my office happily, I still had that stylized smile on my face.
He was planning to sit in the same chair I am in, but the prerequisite was that I could successfully replace Liu Xiuwen as the executive deputy county magistrate. In order to achieve his goal, he will help me without reservation.
If you are willing to help me, why should I do it?
After I figured he had returned to his office, I opened the tea box, and found 50,000 yuan in cash neatly stacked inside, with each red bill standing out.
Then I called Xiong Jifei on the landline to come to my office.
After he entered the room, he saw the banknotes on the table at a glance, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
I waited for him to speak, then I told him directly, "Deposit the 50,000 yuan into the '581' account. Write the deposit as anonymous and write that you received a gift box of tea leaves, which contains 50,000 yuan in cash."
The “581” account is the anti-corruption account of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, which means “I am the one who is in charge”. He stared at me with his eyes wide open, wanting to say something but not saying it. His expression clearly asked, "County Magistrate Guan, is it really necessary to do this?"
I knew he was confused, so I nodded firmly, "It's absolutely necessary, take some money and heat it."
He showed confusion on his face, as if wondering, if he thought it was okay, why did he accept it? However, he didn't ask any more questions.
I explained, "I still need his help with this matter, and I won't take the money. But I need an explanation after taking it, so that I can feel at ease. The deposit date must be clearly written."
Xiong Jifei has been with me for so many years and has always been loyal to me, so I should ask the right questions. He just said: "County Magistrate Guan, don't worry, I will definitely do as you wish, and there will be no mistakes."
I nodded with satisfaction.
I had a strong premonition that in the battle for the position of director of the Development Zone Management Committee, there would be a storm between Zhang Weiguo and Xiao Yubo. And I have to skillfully play the role of the wise man who reaps the benefits, while also being cautious as if walking on thin ice and taking every step on this tightrope. If we are a little more careful, we will not repeat the mistake of losing Jingzhou due to carelessness.
Not long after, an unexpected storm suddenly descended, and the eye of the storm was Daxun Group, which was about to enter the capital market.
That day, Lin Xun called me in a heavy tone and wanted to come to my office for a meeting.
I said on the phone: "Wait for you at the group. It would be too conspicuous for you to come to my place. I'll go to your place."
After hanging up the phone, I went to her office alone.
As soon as I sat down, she asked me anxiously: "Have you heard of Qihang Investment?"
I quickly searched for relevant information in my mind, but I had no clue, so I said with certainty: "I haven't heard of it."
There was worry in her eyes, and I asked, "What happened?"
She slowly said: "The CEO of this company came to see me and wanted to invest in Daxun Group."
I couldn't help but chuckle. "Who does he think he is? The Jade Emperor's nephew, Erlang Shen? If he wants to invest, then invest. Isn't it obvious that he wants to make a fortune by taking advantage of Daxun's listing?"
She sighed deeply: "Although he is Erlang Shen, the person behind him is extraordinary."
I noticed the solemnity in her expression and asked quickly, "Who is behind him?"
She spoke word by word: "Yue Mingyuan!"
I was extremely shocked and rushed out: "Governor Yue's son?"
She nodded slightly, confirming my guess.
I held back my breath and cursed in a low voice: "These scoundrels, when they see profit, they are like flies smelling blood, they are extremely greedy."
She responded, "If scolding would have worked, I would have vented all my anger a long time ago. Now I'm really at a loss, you have to help me make a decision."
I asked, "That guy came to see you without even saying hello in advance, and he brought up Yue Mingyuan's name in a dignified manner?"
Lin Xun shook his head: "When he came to see me, he was very humble and polite, and he didn't mention Yue Mingyuan at all. I later called Zhang Pingmin to find out the relationship behind this."
I continued to ask: "When you mentioned this to Zhang Pingmin, how did he react?"
