Chapter 249: Baihe Corruption (Part 2)
Jiang Ningyue nodded after hearing this. Having been in this line of work for a long time, she wasn't surprised at all by this sort of thing. Instead, she continued to ask, "Is the evidence conclusive?"
"conclusive."
Qing Feng nodded and said, "All the evidence you want is in here, including copied documents, secretly taken photos, and even audio and video recordings."
Jiang Ningyue gave a thumbs up, "Professional!"
Qing Feng was quite proud, "Of course."
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Jiang Ningyue put the external hard drive in her bag and said, "Consider that cup of blended coffee as my treat."
After saying that, Jiang Ningyue left and drove back to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.
After parking the car, Jiang Ningyue first sent a WeChat message to Feng Xin, "Sister Xin, is the boss in the office?"
Soon, Feng Xin replied.
"exist."
Jiang Ningyue arrived at Li Chunyan's office, only to find it crowded with people. A group of people were queuing and talking at the door, including the top leaders of provincial departments and leaders of various prefecture-level cities.
Jiang Ningyue was stunned by this scene. There hadn't been so much activity outside Li Chunyan's office recently. What was going on? Was Li Chunyan getting another promotion?
Just when she was confused, Feng Xin walked out from the office next door. After seeing Jiang Ningyue, he waved to her.
Jiang Ningyue entered Feng Xin's office and asked in confusion, "Sister Xin, why are there so many people?"
Feng Xin smiled and poured Jiang Ningyue a cup of tea. "Isn't it almost November? The province is going to make personnel adjustments, and the head of the organization department is the head. Isn't everyone here to pray to the gods?"
Jiang Ningyue suddenly understood after hearing this, "So that's how it is."
Although the final decision on personnel adjustments lies with the provincial party secretary and governor, the Organization Department Minister still has a great deal of influence over the adjustment and deployment of leading cadres.
More importantly, most people can't reach the positions of provincial party secretary and governor. However, as a cadre who rose from deputy mayor, Li Chunyan is quite familiar to many people and can be considered a voice.
Feng Xin asked, "So you're in a hurry? If it's urgent, just go in directly."
"Never mind, it's not a big deal."
Jiang Ningyue thought about it and decided that it didn’t matter if she discussed this matter after get off work.
"If you're not in a hurry, just have some tea in my office. I'll go out for a walk."
As a secretary, Feng Xin also kept an eye on the queue to see who was worth paying attention to. Not everyone could queue up together. If there was anything urgent, he would have to cut in line.
Jiang Ningyue simply leaned back on the sofa and started playing games. Not long after, Feng Xin invited another person in, who was also an acquaintance.
"Xiaoyue, this is Hu Lin, the head of the Propaganda Department of the Gulin Municipal Party Committee."
"Let's get to know each other. Hello, Minister Hu."
Jiang Ningyue stood up with a smile and shook hands with Hu Lin. Hu Lin also knew the relationship between Jiang Ningyue and Li Chunyan. When Jiang Ningyue met Li Chunyan for the first time, Hu Lin accompanied her, but she did not seem to be the Minister of Propaganda at that time.
"Long time no see, long time no see."
Hu Lin was very polite, "Xiaoyue is even more beautiful now, even prettier than Liu Yifei."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and became immune to others praising her appearance.
Feng Xin smiled and said, "You guys keep chatting. I'll go out and take a look."
Hu Lin sat next to Jiang Ningyue. She took the initiative to start a conversation, extending from her current work to the two years of aid construction. The two chatted for nearly 20 minutes before Feng Xin came back.
"Almost. After the National Day holiday, there are just too many people."
Hu Lin smiled and said, "We're all trying to improve! Isn't there a saying, 'If you don't run or deliver, you'll be demoted, but if you only run but don't deliver, you'll stay where you are.'"
Feng Xin asked curiously, "Why are you here this time?"
Feng Xin and Jiang Ningyue present were both Li Chunyan's "own people," and Hu Lin was at most half her own. So, when Feng Xin asked curiously, Hu Lin didn't hide anything and instead confessed:
"I've been the head of the Propaganda Department for a few years now, and I'm wondering if I can take it a step further."
Feng Xin nodded, "Any ideas?"
Hu Lin looked at Jiang Ningyue, then at Feng Xin and said, "I heard that the deputy secretary of the Canglan Municipal Party Committee is going to be transferred. I was wondering if I could go to Canglan City..."
Feng Xin smiled and said a few words to comfort him.
Jiang Ningyue asked curiously, "Are there many people with the leader?"
"It should be gone. I'll go check again."
Feng Xin stood up and opened the door. After a moment, he said to Jiang Ningyue, "There's no one here. Go ahead."
"good."
Jiang Ningyue got up and went to Li Chunyan's office. Li Chunyan was sitting on a chair rubbing her temples. Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "Sister, your office is really crowded today."
"Headache."
Li Chunyan frowned and said, "Come and rub it for me."
"good."
Jiang Ningyue came behind Li Chunyan and helped her massage.
Li Chunyan's frown slowly relaxed. "You're not here to help someone get a job, are you?"
"I'm not."
Jiang Ningyue quickly denied it, "I'm just a fourth-level researcher, who can I run for an official position for?"
"ha."
Li Chunyan laughed. "Okay, you don't have to rush me. Next month, if there's a vacancy in the department, I'll transfer you to the Second Cadre Department as deputy director."
Although Jiang Ningyue was a Level 4 Researcher, her rank was that of a Deputy Director. However, Researcher was just a nominal position, while Deputy Director of the Second Cadre Department was a real position, and one that carried considerable power.
The Second Cadre Department is mainly responsible for the assessment, appointment, removal, and exchange of leaders of provincial-level cities, working departments of the provincial party committee and government, as well as leading cadres of mass organizations, some public institutions, and leaders of enterprises and institutions.
"I really don't have that idea." Jiang Ningyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"What? Do you think your authority is too low?" Li Chunyan asked with a smile.
Jiang Ningyue immediately didn't want to discuss this topic anymore. "Sister, I really have something serious to tell you this time."
As she spoke, Jiang Ningyue took out a mobile hard drive from her bag.
"Now I get scared when I see people taking things out of their bags."
Li Chunyan rubbed her temples and asked, "What's that?"
"Evidence of corruption by the mayor of a prefecture-level city."
"well."
Li Chunyan sighed and looked at Jiang Ningyue helplessly, "I'm hungry, let's go eat first."
"Huh? Oh."
Jiang Ningyue nodded, stuffed the external hard drive back into her bag, helped Li Chunyan pack her things, and picked up Li Chunyan's water cup. "Are you going home?"
"Not going home."
Li Chunyan straightened her clothes and followed Jiang Ningyue out of the office door. Feng Xin and Hu Lin immediately came to greet them, "Boss, I'm calling the driver now."
"No."
Li Chunyan stopped and looked at the two of them. "You two should go home quickly. I'll let Xiaoyue take me home."
"Okay, leader." The two did not dare to object and watched Li Chunyan leave.
Jiang Ningyue and Li Chunyan walked into the elevator. Although it was past closing time, the Organization Department was working overtime, and many people were still coming in and out of the office. When they saw Jiang Ningyue and Li Chunyan, they immediately greeted them.
