Chapter 54 Two Cats

On Monday morning, after attending the "Provincial Discipline Inspection and Supervision Work Conference", Wang Siyu first went to the Provincial Party Committee Office to chat with his former colleagues and subordinates. He then went to the office canteen for lunch, had a short rest, and broke up at the entrance of the canteen and went to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Office with his bag.

Going to the third floor, he knocked on the door and entered the office of Xia Yuyao, deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. Xia Yuyao was standing in front of the window watering flowers. When he saw him coming in, he quickly put down his watering can, soaked two cups of steaming Longjing tea, and warmly greeted him to sit down.

Having not seen him for more than two years, Xia Yuyao is obviously much thinner than before, and his temples are gray and there are some fine wrinkles on the corners of his eyes. However, he is in good spirits, his eyes are bright and there is no sign of aging.

Although the two spent not much time together in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and had average personal relationships, due to the Zhangyang case in Qingzhou, the old and the young were implicated and each was exiled. Therefore, after a long separation, they seemed particularly familiar and had many common languages.

Xia Yuyao's comeback this time is actually not easy. Although the main leader of the provincial party committee nodded, it took him more than three months to return to his original job, which shows how great the resistance is.

Xia Yuyao also complained about this, and he accumulated it in his heart on weekdays and could not vent. This time the two were having a speculative chat. He scolded Minister Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department in front of Wang Siyu and said a lot of unpleasant words.

While embarrassed, Wang Siyu also felt a little funny. The old man in front of him has always been independent and upright. He is definitely a rare alien in the officialdom of West China. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have offended so many people.

After complaining, Xia Yuyao became calm and took out a cigarette and threw it over, saying with a smile: "Secretary Wang, please smoke."

Wang Siyu lit a cigarette, frowned and took a sip, and said softly: "Secretary Xia, your temper is too straightforward. This won't work. It's easy to hit walls everywhere."

Xia Yuyao took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said sadly: "Kuohara often said this before, but it's a pity that he is gone, and there is no one else nagging around him, and I always feel empty in my heart."

Wang Siyu was also a little sad. After sucking a few puffs of cigarettes, he raised his head, looked at Xia Yuyao, and said with a smile: "Secretary Xia, you are a tumbler in our West China officialdom. It's not easy to get ups and downs."

Xia Yuyao smiled slightly, turned the cup in his hand, and said in a low tone: "I almost couldn't get up this time. When I was in the Environmental Protection Department, I wrote dozens of letters, reacting to the situation of Zhang Yang case and Luo Yunhao to the top, and went to the capital several times. With the intervention of the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the province solved the problem."

Wang Siyu was stunned. He did not expect that things would be so complicated. Compared with Xia Yuyao, his situation would be much better. Although he was demoted to Xishan County, he had already made a comeback in less than a year. After going abroad for training, he was even smoother and directly entered the sequence of municipal leaders. It was difficult for him to understand the torture that Xia Yuyao experienced.

After a while of silence, Wang Siyu sighed and smiled: "No matter what, I finally survived. You are in charge of the work of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the work of anti-corruption and integrity promotion in West China Province is guaranteed."

Xia Yuyao was very happy when he heard this. The wrinkles on his face stretched out with his smile. He stroked his hair and said modestly: "You can't say that. You still have to rely on everyone for your work. You have done a great job in Minjiang. In just a few months, you have dealt with a group of ** molecules, which is very effective."

Wang Siyu smiled slightly, took the briefcase from the side, opened it, handed over a heavy file, and said with a smile: "Secretary Xia, I couldn't explain some things clearly on the phone last time. I specially prepared some materials. Please check it out. Judging from the situation grasped by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Comrade Guo Hui should be trustworthy and there will be no big problems."

When talking about work, Xia Yuyao's face became solemn. He took the file, opened it, put on reading glasses, and looked through the materials carefully. After a while, he looked up and frowned and said, "Secretary Wang, Guo Hui's affairs are a bit complicated. Judging from the materials provided by the Minjiang Public Security Bureau, he is suspected of harboring criminals."

Wang Siyu frowned and questioned softly: "Secretary Xia, the situation in Minjiang City is a bit complicated. Although this criminal case involves Secretary Guo Hui's younger brother, it is not yet clear whether it is related to Guo Hui. I don't think it is suitable to take double-regulation measures on him based on this point alone."

Xia Yuyao nodded and explained with a smile: "Secretary Wang, it's not just this case. When the Provincial Department cracked the Minjiang gambling case last time, it involved Wu Aijun, the former director of the Political Department of the Xingang District Public Security Bureau. When the task force of the Provincial Public Security Department conducted an investigation, Wu Aijun explained many questions in order to make a crime, some of which were about Guo Hui."

Wang Siyu picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and retorted softly: "Wu Aijun is not very reliable. His problems are very serious. Not only are he involved in gangs, but he also has many corruption problems. Moreover, he has a feud with Guo Hui, and the two have deep conflicts. It is also impossible to rule out the possibility of biting people randomly when he is furious. Of course, since he has been brought to the province, it is better to investigate the problem clearly."

Xia Yuyao listened very seriously, then opened the black-skinned notebook, took a pen and wrote a few lines on it, threw down the signature pen, stretched out his hands, flipped through the stack of file bags beside the desk, took out a file, and handed it to Wang Siyu, and said in a serious tone: "Secretary Wang, if the situation Wu Aijun's explanation is true, then Guo Hui actually acted as a protective umbrella for many criminals. Deputy Secretary Huang of the Provincial Party Committee was in charge of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee in other provinces before. Secretary Huang attached great importance to this case. He proposed at the Standing Committee that he hoped that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection could intervene in the investigation. We took action, but don't worry, if Comrade Guo Hui did not have these problems after investigation, we would release him soon."

Wang Siyu smiled slightly, put half of the cigarette butts out, threw them into the ashtray, took the file, and carefully looked through it. Wu Aijun did mention some cases in the materials he gave, some of which were not known to Wang Siyu, so it was hard to say anything. After reading the file, Wang Siyu handed it back and said with a smile: "Secretary Xia, this time I went to the province for a meeting. I want to meet Secretary Guo by the way, bring him some fruits, and ask Secretary Xia for approval."

Xia Yuyao nodded, touched the phone, dialed the number, and said with a smile: "I brought people to the province because I was afraid of being disturbed by the city during the investigation. But I am absolutely relieved to you, Secretary Wang, and I will make an exception this time."

"Thank you!" Wang Siyu smiled, playing with the cup in his hand, thinking secretly that through his understanding, Guo Hui has always been cautious in his actions and rarely violates discipline. The possibility of passing the test is still very high. When the other party is in trouble, visiting is also the best opportunity to win people's hearts.

Sometimes when walking in the officialdom, you still need to use some small means. It is said that true love is revealed in times of adversity. This sentence is still very reasonable. Although it is good to add icing on the cake, it is far from time to time. These days, Wang Siyu has close contact with Wu Fangzhou in his spare time and has already dug up half of the corner of Li Chen. At this time, he saw the opportunity and picked up his hoe again, thinking about loosening the soil under Bao Changrong's wall.

Since his political career, most of his men have been recruited from others and rarely trained themselves. Of course, this is related to his frequent mobilization. If he wants to quickly strengthen the team and expand his strength, he can only find ways to take some shortcuts.

Xia Yuyao called, arranged the matter well, put down the microphone, touched the sign pen, looked at Wang Siyu with a smile for a while, and said meaningfully: "Secretary Wang, you have been in Minjiang for a while. What do you think of Bao Changrong?"

Wang Siyu frowned, looked at Xia Yuyao with suspicion, and said in surprise: "Secretary Bao?"

Xia Yuyao nodded slightly and said calmly: "Yes, it's Secretary Bao, let's talk about your impression of him."

Wang Siyu was slightly stunned and vaguely noticed something. Guo Hui's double regulations may not be that simple. It seems that someone wants to use this case as an introduction to point the finger at Bao Changrong. Thinking of this, Wang Siyu calmed down, carefully said: "Secretary Xia, as far as I know, Comrade Bao Changrong is still very excellent. Although he will make some mistakes in his work, it is inevitable. As the top leader, there are many decision-making matters, and there will inevitably be omissions. Generally speaking, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, he is still trustworthy."

Xia Yuyao frowned, lowered his head and wrote the six words "Excellent" and "Trustworthy" in the notebook. He drew a circle, put two questions on the question marks, and looked up and said, "Secretary Wang, you have heard of the Minjiang Heavy Machinery Factory. Someone reported that he received a huge kickback when signing the agreement. I wonder if this is the case."

Wang Siyu smiled, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said with a serious expression: "Many years have passed since the heavy machinery factory's affairs. Comrade Bao Changrong also mentioned this matter. According to him, when negotiating with foreign merchants, a deputy director of the ministries led the negotiations. He was just a local accompanying staff and had no right to make a decision. If necessary, Secretary Xia can contact other parties to further verify the issue."

Xia Yuyao made the record very seriously, then smiled slightly, looked at Wang Siyu, and said softly: "Secretary Wang, some people have reacted that Bao Changrong is very unscrupulous in his lifestyle. He has lived with his sister-in-law for a long time. The two have an improper relationship. I don't know if the situation is true."

Wang Siyu had just taken a sip of tea and almost sprayed it out. He suppressed his smile and said helplessly: "Secretary Xia, how can I know about this kind of thing? However, according to my observation, Secretary Bao is very upright and self-disciplined. He usually goes home on time after get off work, rarely goes to entertainment venues, and does not like to take female reporters around. He has never heard of any scandals."

After a pause, he looked at Xia Yuyao again and smiled and said, "Secretary Xia, Secretary Bao's wife passed away very early, and her children were all raised by Ms. Zheng Xiaofen. Ms. Zheng has been abroad for many years and has just returned not long ago. I think this is a rumor. To take a step back, even if the situation is true, it doesn't mean anything. After all, both of them are single adults and have the right to choose a spouse."

Xia Yuyao smiled without comment and continued to ask: "Secretary Wang, Bao Changrong refused to serve in the province, but insisted on staying in Minjiang as the secretary of the municipal party committee. The reaction below was very big. It seemed that there was a rumor that he had economic problems and did not dare to leave, for fear that something might happen to Minjiang after leaving. What do you think?"

Wang Siyu put down the teacup and said with a serious expression: "Secretary Xia, I have heard such news, but I have not found any problems in this regard. In fact, Secretary Bao is still very affectionate about Minjiang. He has expressed his private occasions many times that he hopes to improve the economy of the old city during his term of office, achieve balanced development of Minjiang City, and put a perfect end to his political career."

Xia Yuyao nodded, put down his pen, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, there are people who have reported that as the secretary of the municipal party committee, Bao Changrong likes to be a one-man show, and does not follow principles in hiring people, and is nepotism. It is said that in the Discipline Inspection Commission, you have suffered a hardship and almost been undermined by your deputy. Is there such a thing?"

Wang Siyu smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "Secretary Xia, you have also seen that I have dealt with a group of corruption elements not long after I arrived in Minjiang City. This is enough to prove that Secretary Bao is very supportive of my work. Some rumors about storm must have been spread by those with ulterior motives, and it is not worth winning the trust."

Xia Yuyao listened silently and said with a grim expression: "Secretary Wang, the situation you just mentioned is very important. I will report to the provincial party committee leaders after in-depth investigation, but please pay attention to keep it confidential."

Wang Siyu nodded slightly and said understandably: "Secretary Xia, please rest assured."

Xia Yuyao closed the book and said with a smile: "Secretary Wang, I really didn't expect that you are very supportive of Secretary Bao."

Wang Siyu smiled, stood up, and said quietly: "Secretary Xia, it's all for work. Among the current members of Minjiang City, Comrade Bao Changrong has the strongest experience and ability, and is also very upright. He continues to take the helm, which is conducive to local stability."

"I understand." Xia Yuyao sighed, got up and walked around the desk, took him to the door, shook hands with Wang Siyu, patted his shoulder, and smiled: "Secretary Wang, looking at West China Province, there are only two cats who dare to catch big mice. If you have time, come to me to sit there often. Let's share more experience in catching mice."

"Sure, please stay!" Wang Siyu nodded with a smile, touched his briefcase, turned around and walked out. After going downstairs, Wang Siyu got into the car, started the car, and drove the car out of the provincial party committee compound. Along the way, thinking about the conversation just now, a hint of worry arose in his heart. Li Chen's energy was indeed quite large. He could actually invite the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee to initiate an investigation into Bao Changrong. This made the situation even more complicated.
