Chen Tao's words made Liu Zhengxiang think deeply.
If what the other party said is true, and this Chen Ning is indeed an informant sent by the imperial inspector, then his situation is probably not good.
Chen Tao's lips curled up slightly. As Liu Zhengxiang's protégé, he naturally knew where Liu Zhengxiang's weaknesses lay.
The old man's most prized possession was his hat.
With retirement fast approaching, he naturally didn't want anyone to find fault with him.
Therefore, if he wanted to get rid of Chen Ning, a watch alone would not be enough.
We must direct the main contradiction towards Liu Zhengxiang!
Sure enough, after a moment, Liu Zhengxiang's eyes flashed, "Then tell me, how should this matter be handled?"
Chen Tao pursed his lips and said, "The position of deputy director isn't particularly important, but it's not insignificant either. In my opinion, it's best to entrust it to one of our own. As for Chen Ning, she has connections with the Inspector, so we shouldn't go too far. How about we transfer her to a quiet, unassuming department, away from us? That would be giving the Inspector face! Besides, even if she is the Inspector's informant, she can't be of much use outside of this building!"
Liu Zhengxiang's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but nod. "Not bad, Chen Tao, as expected of someone I trained, he's got a sharp mind! That's right, this is how we should handle it. No matter what relationship Chen Ning has with the Imperial Inspector, we shouldn't interfere. As long as we don't let her affect us, that's fine!"
"However... do you have a suitable candidate for the deputy director position?" Liu Zhengxiang narrowed his eyes slightly. Since this guy had drawn up a plan for him, he must have already thought it through.
Sure enough, Chen Tao immediately said, "In our department, Wang Ming's cousin, Wang Fang, has always been the assistant director. She is hardworking, progressive in her thinking, and a good comrade. I think she can be promoted!"
His so-called diligence at work is just a habit of flattering others. His so-called progressive thinking is just secretly slipping him two small yellow croakers this morning.
Liu Zhengxiang glanced at him and understood everything, but he didn't expose him.
He simply tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "Are you qualified? Do you have any special skills?"
Chen Tao understood immediately and said, "Her son runs a local specialty products company. Everyone says that Northeast China has three treasures: ginseng, sable fur, and deer antlers. Ha! Her son's business is quite comprehensive; he has everything! He also has a deer farm in Changbai Mountain. It's autumn now, and the scenery is beautiful. Tomorrow, I'll drive you there, and we'll go hunting and drink deer blood. That stuff is great, very nourishing! Wang Ming drank it once before, and now his wife has given birth to their third child!"
Liu Zhengxiang's eyes lit up. "Is that strange?"
As people get older, they often have some unspeakable secrets, and Chen Tao's words successfully stirred up his little thoughts.
Chen Tao nodded repeatedly, smiling broadly, and said, "Of course! I'm your student, would I lie to you? I'm really looking forward to riding across the deer farm under your guidance!"
"Oh dear!" Liu Zhengxiang waved his hand, shook his head and laughed, "I'm getting old, I can't do it anymore, this world still belongs to you young people!"
That's what they say, but this old man's mouth was stretched all the way to his neck.
"Alright, you know your own department better than I do, so let's do it your way! Just make sure there are no mistakes!" Liu Zhengxiang finally made the decision.
Chen Tao quickly replied, "Yes, Mayor Liu, you can rest assured that I'll handle this!"
"Mayor Liu, something terrible has happened!!"
Just as Chen Tao was about to bow and take his leave.
A man in a blue police uniform and a peaked cap walked in.
This man's name is Zhang Dong, the head of the inspection department. Like Chen Tao, he was promoted by Liu Zhengxiang.
We're on the same side!
Liu Zhengxiang frowned. "What's the rush? Sit down and tell me slowly!"
Zhang Dong glanced at Chen Tao, and seeing that he was no outsider, he said directly, "Mayor Liu, Yang Minghua, the owner of Chunlai Wholesale Company, just came to my inspection office to turn himself in and confessed to the whole process of bribing Wang Ming, the director of the Health Department's office, and the evidence is conclusive! Among them is a watch worth 800,000 yuan! Mayor Liu, this amount is not small, and I am unsure what to do, so I can only come to you!"
After Zhang Dong finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Tao again.
Wang Ming wasn't a big fish, but he was an important figure in the network of connections, capable of affecting everything. He knew that if something happened to Wang Ming, Chen Tao's situation would also be serious.
If Chen Tao's incident is not handled properly, it will naturally implicate Liu Zhengxiang. That's why he rushed over as soon as possible.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Liu Zhengxiang and Chen Tao couldn't sit still.
Liu Zhengxiang glared at Chen Tao fiercely. "What's wrong with you? I just told you not to make any mistakes, and you've already caused such a huge mess? And you told me to relax? How can I relax? Huh?"
"Uh..." Chen Tao was sweating profusely. He hadn't expected this to happen so suddenly.
Why would Yang Minghua, who was perfectly fine, suddenly turn himself in to the procuratorate?
Is this guy crazy?
He calmed down and thought about it carefully. It felt utterly unbelievable.
He had met Yang Minghua before; he was a shrewd and cunning man whose career was at its peak. Even if he were stupid, he shouldn't have dug his own grave.
Thinking of this, Chen Tao's eyes widened.
Then there's only one possibility!
He quickly said to Liu Zhengxiang, "Mayor Liu, Yang Minghua has definitely been threatened! This matter is definitely not simple. I was right. It's obvious that someone is targeting you!"
"Is this aimed at me?" Liu Zhengxiang was furious. He said irritably, "Your subordinate got into trouble, and you're saying this is aimed at me? Do you think I'm senile??"
Chen Tao remained calm and composed, pursing his lips as he said, "Mayor Liu, think about this carefully! Why didn't Yang Minghua report this earlier or later, but only now, right after Chen Ning's incident, does he suddenly come to report it? Don't you think there's something fishy about this?"
Liu Zhengxiang was taken aback, still somewhat confused. He frowned and asked, "What exactly do you mean?"
Chen Tao shook his head and continued, "Yang Minghua isn't stupid. If someone hadn't forced him, or if someone hadn't found something on him, why would he come to report himself?"
"Besides, think about it carefully. He's a big boss. Who in the entire Xidu has the ability to force him into this situation?"
Liu Zhengxiang's expression tightened, and his eyes flashed. "So, you mean..."
Chen Tao said with a solemn expression, "It seems I was right. This Chen Ning really is that person's spy. Now that we're going to take action against her, I'm afraid that person will get angry!"
brush!
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengxiang's face instantly turned ugly, and cold sweat poured down his back.
