Nothing happened overnight.
Feng Yuxing stretched himself lazily, looked out the window at the spring-blooming branches and leaves, and murmured, "Today is a good day!"
The first ray of sunshine in the early morning rises from the distant horizon, casting warm light, interweaving with the gentle spring breeze, as if bringing vitality and vigor to the world.
The breeze caresses your face gently like a mother's hand, making you feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.
After washing up, I went to the city government cafeteria, had a pleasant breakfast, and then hummed a little tune as I went to my office.
Today is the day of his decisive battle with Ling Butong, so he must be in a good mood.
He was sitting comfortably in his office, savoring the morning tea carefully brewed by his secretary Gogu.
The aroma of tea made him happy.
Afterwards, he made a phone call, communicated with Zong Lixun from the police department and confirmed their departure time.
After hanging up the phone, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. The pace of things was under control.
After checking the time, he stood up and walked briskly towards the office of the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin with confidence and composure.
Every step he took seemed extraordinarily light, as if he was stepping on a cloud.
After Huan Tongmin handed over the evidence of Ling Butong and others' illegal activities to Feng Yuxing, he felt a lot more relieved.
"Comrade Tongmin, I told the secretary and the governor yesterday about your situation. They will help you with your 'ill-retirement'. The key now is the people above you.
However, the secretary and the governor spoke for you, so I think you should have a decent retirement. After all, your case, to put it simply, is just a case of knowing something but not reporting it.
Feng Yuxing told Huan Tongmin the results of his communication with Provincial Party Secretary Xiao Hairuo and Governor Huang Huamin.
"Comrade Yuxing, thank you! Being able to retire at the level of a full-time department head is not too regretful in life;
Of course, if it hadn't been for this incident, I could have held on and become a vice-governor, but life is difficult. However, the ending is also a good one! "
Huan Tong sighed sensitively.
His sigh revealed a hint of unfulfilled ambition and regret.
“Comrade Tongmin, although you were born at the wrong time, you have lived a life that is not to be ashamed of. There is no need to worry about whether your life is perfect or not.
Sometimes, when you don’t have to worry about food and drink, you can have some time to drink and chat with old friends and relatives;
Isn't it another kind of life, another kind of perfection! It constitutes another kind of regret-free life."
Feng and Xing comforted Huan Tongmin.
"Comrade Yuxing, what you said makes sense. During my time in office, I rarely had the chance to enjoy a drink with old friends, and I didn't spend much time with my family. Hearing you put it that way, I really can be considered to be living a second life!"
Huan Tongmin burst into laughter after he finished speaking.
"By the way, if you really do retire, go to Guanji Tea House when you have time and have some tea with Mr. Ou. He has a deep misunderstanding of you. He thinks you're Ling Butong's accomplice!"
Feng Yuxing mentioned it casually, and his intention was actually to open a crack in Ou Liangchang's heart.
Both of them are retired elderly people in their twilight years who should be enjoying the happiness of family life, but because of the grievances and entanglements of the past, they always hold grudges against each other and find it difficult to let go.
Now, he is willing to reach out and try to resolve this long-standing feud, so that both of them can welcome the better days of their later years with a more tolerant and peaceful heart.
"I'm well aware that Comrade Liangchang holds a grudge against me. At the time, I couldn't explain it, and I couldn't! But, relatively speaking, he's much better off than I am. At least, he didn't experience the pain of losing a loved one!"
Huan Tongmin felt extremely guilty that the daughter of his distant relative had left this world because of him.
The two of them sat together and had a very pleasant conversation. Their communication was very sincere and they were open and honest with each other.
There was no reservation in their conversation about the issues involved, and they spoke freely, as if they had found a confidant with whom they could share their deepest thoughts and feelings without any reservations.
Feng Yuxing saw that it was almost nine o'clock, so he reminded Huan Tongmin and asked his secretary to notify the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Sheng Lin to come over.
After a while, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Sheng Lin arrived, but he was also a little confused.
He looked at Feng Yuxing and Huan Tongmin and thought, "When did these two become so harmonious? What's going on?"
He smiled and said, "Two top leaders of the Party and government, having such an in-depth conversation so early in the morning, and then asking me to come over, this is a sign that something big is going to happen!"
"Comrade Sheng Lin! Whether it's a big deal or not, we two don't know, so you'll have to judge. However, this job is a bit big, so let you give it your all!"
Feng Yuxing looked at Sheng Lin, who looked stunned, and said with a smile.
"Comrade Yuxing, you gave me the work of the cadres from those departments, isn't that a big deal? You're still busy finishing it up. Then, won't today's incident be earth-shattering?"
As the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Sheng Lin was also very worried about the mayor's actions; once they started, no matter what, they would be big and troublesome.
"Comrade Tongmin, look, Comrade Shenglin is more conscious. He came prepared to shoulder his responsibilities!"
Feng Yuxing said jokingly.
“I agree with you on this point, but that’s just saying that since you came here, you’ve been doing big jobs, and they’re a series of them;
Before you came, we were just doing small, insignificant jobs, and we weren't making any progress!"
Huan Tongmin also followed suit and sang the same tune with Xing.
"Is it really a big deal?" Sheng Chu exclaimed, "I didn't pray for my mouth this morning! How come it works now?"
"That's enough, what are you yelling about? Your little job is nothing compared to Comrade Xing's, it's a big job!"
Huan Tongmin continued to joke.
"Speak now! My heart is hanging high, and it won't fall down just because of what you said or the shock!"
Sheng Lin also joked.
“Comrade Sheng Lin, you must go to the municipal government office building now. Your responsibility is to have tea with Yi Guyong.
Remember, during this process, he cannot leave the office, make any phone calls, or send any messages. In short, cut off all contact with people outside.
Comrade Mou Minmu is already waiting for you downstairs. He will arrange for several police officers to assist you!"
Feng Yuxing was no longer smiling at this time, and he spoke with a serious look on his face.
His words frightened Sheng Lin greatly.
After listening to this, Sheng Lin asked awkwardly, "You are kidding, right? Comrade Yuxing, you want me to arrest cadres of the same rank as me?"
You guys are playing that game. Not only me, but even you two don't have the power to do that!"
When Sheng Lin said this, his face kept an expression of disbelief.
"I didn't ask you to arrest anyone directly, I just asked you to have tea with Yi Gurong!"
Feng Yuxing said with disdain in his eyes.
"How long will it take to control him?"
Sheng Lin knew that this was his responsibility as the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and he could not escape it.
