Chapter 290 Haibei Storm (1)
A few days later, Jiang Ningyue was reviewing the undercover investigation film at the Organization Department, offering several suggestions for improvement. Just as she was finishing up, Jiang Ningyue's phone rang. It was Wang Ximing, the acting mayor of Haibei City.
Jiang Ningyue's expression changed slightly. Why did Wang Ximing call her at this time?
Jiang Ningyue walked into her office, closed the door, and called Wang Ximing back. "Mayor Wang, I was in a meeting just now. What can I do for you?"
"Xiaoyue."
Wang Ximing's voice was a little low and hesitant. "Is the next episode of 'Questioning Haizhou' coming to our Haibei City?"
Jiang Ningyue was silent for two seconds after hearing this. Qingfeng had already told her a few days ago that this matter was already known to everyone in the Haibei City officialdom, so Wang Ximing must have known about it as well. Therefore, Jiang Ningyue had no need to lie to him, so she laughed.
"Mayor Wang, we have a rule not to make this public."
Jiang Ningyue did not deny it, which meant she admitted it.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ximing immediately laughed and said, "There's discipline, haha. Xiaoyue, don't you know? The news that 'Questioning Haizhou' is coming has spread throughout Haibei City. This morning, Municipal Party Secretary Tu Zheng convened an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee. Each leadership team must resolve the citizens' petitions within a week and not let 'Questioning Haizhou' get the upper hand."
It turns out that Wang Ximing was not here to beg for mercy, but to tip off the audience!
Jiang Ningyue had underestimated the factions some officials were taking sides in. Furthermore, Jiang Ningyue's ill intentions weren't directed at Wang Ximing. Haibei City was now a monolithic entity, and Wang Ximing, the acting mayor, had no way of knowing how to influence it. Jiang Ningyue was here to help him break up the alliance, so he naturally welcomed her with open arms.
"Mayor Wang, thank you for your reminder."
Jiang Ningyue chuckled and said, "If Haibei City is truly free of problems because of our 'Questioning Haizhou', then why wouldn't it be a problem for us to stop broadcasting 'Questioning Haizhou' for a while? We're not here to cause trouble for the sake of causing trouble, we're here to solve problems. If Haibei City truly has no problems, then it's normal for us to bypass it."
Wang Ximing couldn't help but sigh when he heard Jiang Ningyue's words, "I'm afraid some things are just temporarily lurking, just like rats in the gutter, hiding during the day and only daring to come out to look for food at night."
"Anyway, thank you very much, Mayor Wang."
"Xiaoyue, why are you being so polite to me?"
Wang Ximing pondered for a few seconds. "One more thing. Haibei City is a very complicated place. Communicate with your leader (Li Chunyan) more often on certain matters. Don't act on your own to avoid getting yourself into trouble."
"I know. Don't worry."
Jiang Ningyue hung up the phone, put the phone on the table, and tapped it lightly.
You really have to go and see Haibei City in person.
——
On December 6, Jiang Ningyue, Tian Jun, and Luo Yuan arrived in Haibei City. Near noon, the three chose to eat at a roadside restaurant.
This is an ordinary noodle shop. The three of them ordered a bowl of noodles each, as well as some cold dishes and beef. While eating noodles, Tian Jun said slowly;
"Did you notice that not long after we got off the highway, there was a car following us."
"car?"
Jiang Ningyue and Luo Yuan looked at each other. They were so busy chatting on the road that they didn't even notice if there was a car following them.
Jiang Ningyue's Mercedes-Benz was too conspicuous. Not only in the prefecture-level cities, but even on the Internet, many people knew Jiang Ningyue's license plate number. Therefore, it was impossible for Jiang Ningyue to drive that car to Haibei City.
Therefore, every time it was usually Tian Jun or Luo Yuan who drove. This time it was Tian Jun who was driving, and he had been keeping an eye on the car behind him. At first he thought it was just a stopover, but the car was following behind, neither too close nor too far, and never overtaking, which was obviously very suspicious.
Jiang Ningyue narrowed her eyes slightly. "Are you saying our whereabouts have been exposed? Someone from the program team leaked the information?"
"That's impossible." Luo Yuan denied it first, "Brother Jun and I didn't tell anyone when we came out."
Tian Jun picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and dipped it in chili oil. "I think it won't be difficult for the Haibei Public Security Bureau to find out the car owner's information. Besides, my name should have been on the record for a long time, and the car's name should have been on the record as well."
Luo Yuan suddenly realized, "I should have driven my car earlier."
"It doesn't matter. We'll talk about it next time."
Jiang Ningyue said calmly, "This time we'll just wander around Haibei City."
Tian Jun finished a bowl of noodles in two or three mouthfuls, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette."
The two ladies chewed their food slowly. Tian Jun finished his cigarette, but the other two hadn't finished eating yet. Tian Jun sat back down, reeking of cigarette smoke. "That's right, the car is parked not far away."
Jiang Ningyue sighed, "Are they treating me as a suspect?"
Tian Jun sneered, "This shows that they are afraid."
"Ugly." Luo Yuan commented.
After dinner, the three of them got in the car and wandered aimlessly around Haibei City. The car behind them was still hanging in the distance, neither too far nor too close.
In the car, Jiang Ningyue said calmly, "Even if the three of us didn't capture a single shot, the program 'Questioning Haizhou' about Haibei City can still be broadcast normally. They've got the wrong person."
"Yeah," Tian Jun said with emotion, "I really hope 'Questioning Haizhou' starts sooner so I can see what they look like and what their faces are like then."
That night, the three of them did not return to Haizhou, but chose a hotel to stay in. After dinner, in the hotel room, Luo Yuan took a shower and walked out. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Jiang Ningyue was on the phone.
Although Jiang Ningyue didn't gain anything that day, and the scheduled interview didn't go ahead because someone was following her, Qingfeng's progress over the past few days was very fast. She said to Jiang Ningyue with a hint of excitement:
"Boss, I caught a big fish! I just found out that this guy has embezzled 10 or 20 billion!"
"The phone said it wasn't safe."
Jiang Ningyue interrupted directly, "Let's meet at the old place tomorrow."
"Okay." Qingfeng hung up the phone.
Jiang Ningyue saw Luo Yuan and said, "You're done washing."
"Yeah." Luo Yuan nodded and asked curiously, "Master, is there any new progress?"
"The fewer people who know about this, the better." Jiang Ningyue said with a smile, "So I'd better not tell you."
Luo Yuan also understood and didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them played mobile games together for a while, and the day passed like this.
The next morning, the three of them returned to Haining City by car. Today, they changed cars and followed the three of them all the way back to Haining. After seeing the three of them get off the highway, they returned to Haibei City.
In the car, the driver called: "Director, that group of people have gone back."
Ning Pingan smiled after hearing the news. No matter how powerful Jiang Ningyue was, it was simply impossible to investigate him in Haibei City!
"You did a great job! Everyone who participated in this operation will have three days off. Have a good meal tonight, and I'll reimburse you!"
“Thank you, Chief!”
