Rebirth in officialdom: crush enemies and reach the top

Chu Xian was saying goodbye emotionally to the two division chiefs, Han Junlin and Wu Dazhi, when the landline phone of the Comprehensive Unit 1 rang.

Wu Dazhi quickly picked up the call and found out that it was the governor's secretary calling to convey the governor's instructions.

——Ask Comrade Chu Xian to attend the meeting in the governor’s office immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Dazhi was still a little confused and felt his head was buzzing.

The governor thinks too highly of Chu Xian, he always bypasses the department leaders and directly calls Chu Xian to a meeting!

As the secretary-general of the provincial government at the department level, Xue Wei does not receive such treatment!

After Chu Xian heard Wu Dazhi's message, he apologized to Han Junlin and Wu Dazhi and rushed to the governor's office.

When he walked to the door, he happened to bump into Su Chendong, so Chu Xian let Su Chendong go in front and followed him into the office.

"Are you here? Sit down quickly!"

Chen Changming quickly asked the two of them to sit down, "Comrade Jiang Wanhe will be here soon! As soon as he arrives, we will officially have a meeting!"

Su Chendong's eyes suddenly brightened after hearing this: "Governor, is there any new progress in Zhou Lin's case?"

"Comrade Jiang Wanhe's tone on the phone should be good news! So I asked him not to say it on the phone and come directly to report in person!"

Jiang Wanhe, director of the Provincial Public Security Department, who was preparing to report, walked into the governor's office and found that Chen Changming, Su Chendong, and Chu Xian were all there. He couldn't help but twitched his face.

Ever since he met Chu Xian, his face twitching has become more and more frequent, and if he continues like this, he will almost have a facial spasm!

Are the meetings between the two provincial governors now inseparable from Chu Xian?

It seemed awkward to have Chu Xian, a senior cadre at the department level, participate in such a high-level meeting!

Do I, a department-level cadre, still need to report to him, a department-level official?

Although he was slightly unhappy, Jiang Wanhe did not show it. Instead, he took out a stack of information from the briefcase he carried with him, took a deep breath and said, "Two leaders, I am here to report the situation of the suspect Cao Defu." Relevant information, as well as the latest progress in monitoring Villa No. 16 in Bauhinia Villa District..."

"After close control, we captured Cao Defu in a private club the night before yesterday, and at the same time froze all the accounts of his company, including himself..."

"After Cao Defu was arrested and brought to the case, we immediately arranged for personnel to conduct a surprise interrogation of him..."

When Jiang Wanhe said this, he grinned, "This Cao Defu is far less difficult than Zhou Lin. He only gave up after a symbolic resistance! According to the investigation, his company and personal accounts totaled 3.6 billions of funds..."

Hearing this, Chen Changming frowned, "Only 3.6 million? Where is the remaining 1.4 million..."

"According to Cao Defu's account, of the 3.6 ​​million in the account, only 6000 million belongs to him, and the other 3 million is temporarily deposited with him by Zhou Lin!"

"There is a gap of 2 million yuan!" Chen Changming asked, "Has the suspect explained the whereabouts of the 2 million yuan?"

"This is our biggest gain from this interrogation. Cao Defu said that he has an account book recording the whereabouts of the 2 million..."

Jiang Wanhe said, handing Chen Changming a brown notebook with a badly worn cover and peeling color, "The page with the bookmark records what Cao Defu confessed!"

Chen Changming took it over and looked at it, and found that the bookmarked page read:

X: 3000 million.

Z: 7000 million.

Q: 1 million.

After Chen Changming memorized this information, he handed the account book to Su Chendong and asked: "What do X, Z, and Q mean?"

Jiang Wanhe replied: "According to Cao Defu's explanation, X represents Xu Junyue, Secretary of the Xiangzhou Municipal Party Committee, and Z represents Zhou Yang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. He doesn't know who Q represents, but the money given to Q at that time was also the cash he prepared!"

Chen Changming's face suddenly darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. He stretched out two slender fingers and tapped the wooden tabletop of the desk rhythmically.

"So, Zhou Yang and Xu Junyue were involved in this matter from beginning to end, and they also took various amounts of benefits?"

"Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case!"

"Since this Q earns more money than both of them, does his rank and position have to be higher than that of Zhou Yang?"

Everyone present held their breath and did not dare to answer his question.

A rare hint of fear appeared on Chen Changming's face.

This matter involves too much. He must report it to his superiors and cannot make his own decisions!

After Chu Xian heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

In his previous life, Zhou Yang was transferred out of the real power department because his younger brothers Zhou Lin and Cao Defu were not arrested. He went to serve as the executive deputy director (ministerial level) of the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, but he finally achieved a safe landing.

But in this life, he may not be so lucky!

The successive arrests of his younger brother Zhou Lin and white-glove Cao Defu made it impossible for him to distance himself from each other no matter what.

It can also be said that it was Chu Xian who changed his destiny in this life!

At this time, everyone present was thinking.

Everyone knows that there may be a big earthquake in Handong's officialdom this time.

"I don't understand why this Cao Defu listens to the Zhou brothers so much? In other words, the Zhou brothers are willing to let him get involved in such a confidential matter, and they must have great trust in him! But why did we screen Zhou Lin before? During the social relations, Cao Defu was not discovered at all?"

After Su Chendong composed himself, he asked Jiang Wanhe a question.

"Vice Governor Su, the issue you just mentioned is also a point of confusion for me!"

Jiang Wanhe nodded and said, "I'm also wondering, since Cao Defu has so much money in his account, why doesn't he abscond with the money and go abroad to enjoy himself! Although the Zhou brothers have great influence in Handong , but once outside the country, there is nothing you can do to him!"

"We also asked Cao Defu about this issue, but he was very secretive and vague about this issue... After being pressed repeatedly, he said that because the Zhou family has been very kind to him, he must know how to repay the kindness, and he must not be without conscience. But when we asked what great favor the Zhou family had to him, he kept silent again!"

"This is really strange..."

Chen Changming said, "You have even confessed such a big secret, but you deliberately concealed such an inconsequential reason? There must be some article in it!"

He vaguely guessed something, so he skipped the topic and continued to ask, "No abnormalities were found in the monitoring of Villa 16, right?"

"no!"

Jiang Wanhe said with absolute certainty, "Under our noses, they will never be able to secretly transfer property!"

"That's good!"

Chen Changming took a deep breath and said, "Tell your comrades that if you persist for a while, the inspection team will come to Handong after the new year, and there will definitely be an operation like plowing the courtyard and sweeping holes!"

"Okay, Governor!"

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon! Everyone has worked hard this year, so take a good rest during the New Year days!"

A smile reappeared on Chen Changming's face, melting the ice-like atmosphere at the scene.

“I’ll be very busy after the new year!”
