Zhang Tianlai sneered; he had been waiting for Zhao Guangcai to say those words!
That old bastard finally bowed his head!
"There are some things we really should talk about!"
The two then went to a private office.
Zhao Guangcai snorted, "Mayor Zhang, let's not pretend anymore. This meeting of yours today is aimed at me, isn't it? I've been working with you for so many years and have always given you face. Isn't it a bit too much for you to be so aggressive today?"
Zhang Tianlai's lips curled slightly as he sat down, lit a cigarette, and said calmly, "Old Zhao, don't get so worked up. That's how it is in officialdom. If there's even the slightest hint of trouble from above, everyone on the ground panics. I'm just following the policy. I just got word that the Yandu inspection team is coming to Harbin soon. They're going to make an example of us. Someone has to take responsibility for all those messy things we have on the surface. I'm going to the provincial court soon, so at this crucial time, I can only give you some extra burden!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guangcai finally understood: Damn it, wasn't this just making him take the blame?
Zhao Guangcai said irritably, "Most of those accounts are from projects you were in charge of, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it? This is not a fair way for you to do things!"
"Hey, Lao Zhao, your vision is too narrow!"
Zhang Tianlai quickly said, "We're a team, a whole. Don't say anything that's not good for unity, like 'yours' or 'mine'! Besides, it's not a big problem. At most, I'll have you move to a different place. I've already thought it through. Once this storm passes, I'll submit a proposal to the higher-ups to arrange for you to work in the CPPCC. It won't delay your retirement!"
"You... shameless!" Zhao Guangcai was furious. This guy had ruined his own future for the sake of his own official career. He wasn't even that old; he could easily have climbed the ranks further. But this guy had gone and forced him into retirement!
Zhao Guangcai coldly replied, "One should take responsibility for one's actions. I, Zhao Guangcai, will not be anyone's scapegoat. As an official, one must at least adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts. This is being responsible to the people and the country. I'm sorry, I cannot fulfill your request!"
"You won't agree?"
Zhang Tianlai's lips curled into a cold smile. "Fine, I'll continue investigating your son's company. You know how things can go, big or small. But once it's exposed, not only will your political future be ruined and you be dismissed from your post, but your son will also face imprisonment. At that point, your Zhao family will truly be finished!"
"You...despicable!" Zhao Guangcai was furious because he knew that the other party was not bluffing him. Some things are tacitly understood internally, but once they are exposed, the problem will be huge and must be dealt with.
Moreover, he believed that Zhang Tianlai, as the top leader, had the ability to do so.
This time, they really got themselves completely under their thumb.
"Well, have you thought this through? Going to the CPPCC won't give you the same power as you do now, but at least you can retire peacefully. You're a veteran leader, do you really want to ruin your reputation in your later years?" Zhang Tianlai said in a seductive tone.
Zhang Tianlai clenched his fists tightly, his old body trembling, wishing he could throw a punch.
But in the end, he loosened his fist.
He knew he couldn't win against the top leader. If he didn't agree to their terms, he would truly ruin his reputation in his later years.
If he agreed, at least he could preserve his reputation in his later years and the Zhao family's legacy.
With that thought in mind, he took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright, I'll do as you say!"
When Zhang Tianlai saw that he had agreed, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he immediately took out several documents for him to sign.
Zhao Guangcai picked it up and glanced at it, then frowned. "How come Wang Renfeng is involved here?"
He didn't expect that Zhang Tianlai would also try to drag Wang Renfeng into this mess.
"Just sign it, don't ask so many questions!" Zhang Tianlai didn't want to explain too much.
Zhao Guangcai shook his head. "Comrade Renfeng is a good comrade, and he's so young. I can't ruin his future!"
Zhang Tianlai sneered, "Then you'd better think it over. If his future isn't ruined, then your son will be ruined. Oh, and by the way, Xueqing Company too. None of them will get away with it!"
"you!"
Zhao Guangcai was furious.
It's no big deal if his son's company is ruined, but Xueqing's company is Mr. Lin's wife's company. Mr. Lin has been kind to me, so how can I drag him down with me?
At this moment, Zhao Guangcai was truly in an extremely difficult situation.
However, in the end, he still chose to sign.
"I'm sorry, Renfeng, for the sake of Mr. and Mrs. Lin, I have no choice but to... I'm sorry!" Zhao Guangcai sighed inwardly and reluctantly wrote down his name.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Tianlai couldn't help but sneer repeatedly. These documents were essentially a letter of responsibility.
Next, Zhao Guangcai and Wang Renfeng, these two stumbling blocks, can both withdraw from the political stage of Harbin.
Moreover, it's a permanent disappearance.
These letters of responsibility are not just letters of responsibility; they involve much bigger issues!
This old bastard wants to join the CPPCC?
Don't even think about it. If this is investigated, it won't just lead to a demotion; it will definitely get you locked up.
Moreover, he couldn't let Zhao Jianguo off the hook either! Only by making a big fuss about the Zhao family and ruining Zhao Guangcai's reputation would all of this seem reasonable!
...
Zhao Guangcai could never have imagined how malicious Zhang Tianlai's intentions could be.
Just as he, Yang Bailao, was being schemed against, on the other side, the disciplinary officials arrived at the Zhao family's company and handcuffed Zhao Jianguo, who was in a meeting.
Now, the Zhao family is in complete chaos.
Meanwhile, at the police station, a group of people wearing red armbands suddenly rushed in, completely surrounding Wang Renfeng's office.
"What are you doing? This is Director Wang's office!"
Wang Xiaoqin and her group blocked the office door.
"Captain Wang, please move aside. We are here on orders from Mayor Zhang. Wang Renfeng is suspected of violating discipline and regulations. We are going to thoroughly investigate his office and residence. Please move aside! Otherwise, we will arrest you too! Move aside!"
Wang Xiaoqin was pushed heavily to the ground.
Then, people with red armbands filed in. Wang Xiaoqin's eyes trembled, and she was at a loss. Her intuition told her that someone was trying to harm her father, and that something terrible was about to happen to him!
Could it be because of Zhang Wanlin?
Wang Xiaoqin suddenly woke up with a start.
Yes, that must be it!
The fact that the father personally presided over Zhang Wanlin's kidnapping case must have been because Zhang was dissatisfied with the outcome, which is why he targeted his father!
This is nothing short of blatant revenge!
what to do?
After thinking it over, Wang Xiaoqin decided to call Lin Yu, because she knew that Lin Yu knew Leader Zhao, and if Leader Zhao intervened, perhaps her father could be saved.
On the other end.
The commotion on the government side naturally did not escape Lin Yu's notice.
"Something happened to the Zhao family?"
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Zhang Tianlai, you're something else. I haven't even touched him yet, and he's already delivered himself to my doorstep. In that case, let's settle the score properly!"
