Provincial Party Secretary Qiao Guping spoke in a low voice and steady tone, but his pronunciation was very clear; Xia Liwan heard it clearly and it was deafening.
Xia Liwan, who has always been supported by the big families in the provincial capital, sees the provincial party secretary Qiao Guping as a timid person;
He usually does not express his views on the affairs of these big families, and as a result, he develops the habit of speaking frankly in favor of these big families in the provincial capital in front of some members of the Standing Committee or core members of the provincial party committee and government.
Unexpectedly, this time, the Provincial Party Secretary Qiao Guping spoke so directly and clearly, that is, he was determined to maintain Feng and Xing. He didn't know how to respond all of a sudden.
Before coming, he was full of confidence, thinking that after he reflected on the demands of these big families from the Provincial Party Secretary Qiao Guping, even if Qiao Guping did not directly take further action against Feng Yuxing, he would symbolically convene a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee to discuss it.
Just like last time, when the evidence was irrefutable, he hinted to Lian Jiaji, the police chief of Yinzhou City, to make a confession that did not conform to the actual situation, but the bigwigs of the provincial party committee turned a blind eye and dismissed Feng Yuxing from his post.
He never expected that Qiao Guping not only did not take further action against Feng Yuxing to appease the anger of the big families in the provincial capital, but instead asked him to reopen the incident of Feng Yuxing's sister being drugged. Therefore, he had no other contingency plan and could not even find a lame excuse.
There was no other way, Xia Liwan could only make an excuse and leave first.
After Xia Liwan left, the provincial party secretary Qiao Guping had a cold face and his eyes shot cold light at Xia Liwan's back as he left.
I don't know whether Governor Nie Wenli deliberately avoided Xia Liwan or it was a coincidence, but just after Xia Liwan left the provincial party committee compound, Governor Nie Wenli went to the office of Provincial Party Committee Secretary Qiao Guping.
When he saw Governor Nie Wenli coming, Qiao Guping finally smiled.
"Governor, you are here, please take a seat! Fang Yuan, make some tea for the Governor!" Qiao Guping sighed loudly after saying this.
"Comrade Gu Ping! You disappeared without a trace for two days, leaving my place packed with guests. I have to hide here with you, to get some peace and quiet!"
As Nie Wenli spoke, he sat down on the sofa, sighed with Qiao Guping, and relaxed his whole body.
"Comrade Wenli, Comrade Liwan just chatted here for a while. You arrived as soon as he left!" Qiao Guping said, looking at the provincial student Nie Wenli with a smile.
Looking at Qiao Guping's somewhat cunning smile, Nie Wenli definitely understood what he meant.
"I know Comrade Xia Liwan is here. So, I staggered him. He's been coming to my place to complain these past few days, so I asked him to come and report to you. Comrade, there's nothing wrong with me!"
Governor Nie Wenli smiled smugly after he finished speaking.
"Comrade Wenli, this is a bit unkind of you. If there's anything going on, you should have cut it off at the provincial government level. Why did you let him come here to bother me?"
At this time, Qiao Guping and Nie Wenli had a tacit understanding and knew what Xia Liwan had come for.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it! Comrade Yuxing was dismissed from his post, but he's honest and has principles!
You see, he didn't make a scene at the Provincial Party Committee or the Provincial Government. I gave the nod to Comrade Xing to take further action. How should we handle it? He's a deputy-department-level cadre, so I can't make any decisions. Comrade Gu Ping, what do you think?
Even if we agree, we still have to listen to the opinions of our fellow citizens! Of course, Comrade Li Wan said that Feng Yuxing was flying at an extremely low altitude and scared them, but that's not our business. He should go to the base and ask!
Who knows who was flying the plane in the ultra-low altitude training that day? He wasn't familiar with the map and it was normal for him to get lost somewhere.
Governor Nie Wenli came up with a bunch of excuses, which made Qiao Guping look at him with new eyes. He didn't expect that the head of a province could use such rogue excuses to prevaricate.
Of course, in the matter of Feng and Xing, Governor Nie Wenli's trick can be regarded as a crooked logic against a crooked logic, a scoundrel against a hooligan, which is quite appropriate.
Qiao Guping didn't imitate Nie Wenli's rhetoric. He smiled and said, "Comrade Xia Liwan has been in politics for many years and is now a provincial-level cadre. He has some deviations in his understanding and there is still a lot of room for improvement in his consciousness."
Qiao Guping's language was polite and his expression was warm, but the implication of his words showed that he was very dissatisfied with the deputy governor and police chief.
Provincial leaders of the level of Qiao Guping and Nie Wenli have always been quite artistic in their speech. They would not simply and crudely point out certain things about a certain person, unless that comrade has violated the Party's discipline and the state's laws.
"Then how did you reply to him?" Nie Wenli became curious.
"What's there to reply? I told him to reopen the investigation into Feng and Xing's sister being drugged and kidnapped as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the higher-ups start investigating, we'll all have to reflect on ourselves!"
Qiao Guping's answer satisfied Nie Jueli's curiosity.
"Comrade Gu Ping, you are cutting off the fire from the bottom of the pot! Aren't you afraid that those people will make trouble?" Nie Wenli's words literally meant worry, but his tone was praise.
"Do you really think that Comrade Xia Liwan dares to reopen the investigation into the Feng Yuxing incident? I just want him to be quiet and stop running around for those big families in the provincial capital. Let him focus on his work! We don't need to take action to settle the accounts of the big families in the provincial capital. It's not our turn to take action!"
Qiao Guping said naturally.
"Comrade Gu Ping, it seems the higher-ups have noticed what's happening with Feng Yuxing. Will they make direct arrangements for Comrade Yuxing?"
Nie Wenli's words were meant to test Qiao Guping, wondering if there were any instructions from higher-ups regarding the Feng and Xing incident.
"It should be, but we don't know how to arrange it yet. Feng Yuxing is now a deputy-department-level cadre, still under provincial management, but he has a record on the higher-ups. The main thing is that we can't solve it now, so we have to borrow some help from above!"
Qiao Guping seemed to speak casually, but he also revealed something to Nie Wenli.
"That's great! We are not absolutely sure how to handle this matter right now!" Nie Wenli said happily.
The Feng Yuxing incident was a headache not only for the Provincial Party Secretary Qiao Guping, but also for the Provincial Governor Nie Wenli. They knew clearly that the fault was not Feng Yuxing's, but someone from above secretly intervened, preventing them from completely resolving the issue.
They had no choice but to dismiss Feng and Xing from their posts. It was just a delaying tactic, the key to "dragging"!
"Comrade Wenli, you must be mentally prepared. If the higher-ups directly interfere with Feng and Xing's job assignments, it will cause a stir in the Hidden Sea! By then, I'm afraid there will be a storm!"
Qiao Guping had made it very clear what he said. Nie Wenli was the head of a province, so it was impossible for him not to hear that hint.
