Otherwise, how could so many people have their heads sharpened and dreamed of becoming officials?

While Chen Ping and Ye Lingzhi in Luzhuang City said this while analyzing it, Song Chaozhong, who was drinking tea, also said this to Du Xiaolian in the Xuanwu Hotel in Linjiang City, the capital of Jiangnan Province.

"Governor Du, you and I are both old officials. I don't know that this officialdom is like that. Everyone is selfish. Whether at work or at other times, they always think about whether they can take advantage of the public. So I am still mentally prepared for what Chen Ping of Luzhuang is doing now." Song Chaozhong said, "Don't look at his response to the provincial call, learning the spirit of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's documents, and asking for a clean Spring Festival so readily. In fact, it's just like others to say one thing and do another. Didn't this be a bribe yesterday, in the name of New Year's goods?"

Facing Song Chaozhong's words, Du Xiaolian did not rush to answer anything, but picked up his teacup and drank a sip of tea.

Just as Song Chaozhong said, Du Xiaolian was also an official and became a master. How could he not understand what Song Chaozhong meant?

Today, Song Chaozhong specially asked him to come out and talk about this to him, just to tell him indirectly that Chen Ping had already gotten into the trap and that they could do something in the province.

If it was before the Beijing Party Congress, there was no need for Song Chaozhong to say so bluntly. As long as there was something happening in Luzhuang, he would naturally know what to do, but now he doesn't want to do that.

Of course, this is not Du Xiaolian abiding by the agreement between him and Chen Ping. In fact, both Du Xiaolian and Chen Ping knew very well that the so-called agreement was completely uncountable. There was no gentleman agreement in the officialdom. It was simply a thing to coax children, and only a three-year-old child would truly abide by it.

What Du Xiaolian hesitated was actually his confidence. Simply put, after this incident at the Beijing Party Congress, Du Xiaolian had lost the determination to be able to overcome Chen Ping.

It is precisely because of this that even though Song Chaozhong has already started a good situation now, the province has established the Spring Festival Integrity Office, and Chen Ping also hit the gun at this time, but he still doesn't think it can cause much trouble to Chen Ping, and Du Xiaolian even feels that he will still have trouble.

This idea is undoubtedly very strange, but it is so natural in Du Xiaolian's mind at this moment.

Du Xiaolian said after thinking about his mind for a while, "I have heard about Luzhuang, but I don't think this is a problem. After all, it's the New Year, who doesn't prepare to order New Year's goods? Moreover, Chen Ping's New Year's goods are prepared by various units in Luzhuang, which is normal!"

Du Xiaolian's answer was expected by Song Chaozhong. Song Chaozhong was also very observant, so he had long discovered that after Du Xiaolian returned from Beijing, he seemed to be less ambitious about Luzhuang and Chen Ping.

Could it be that Du Xiaolian was really impressed by Chen Ping and did not dare to make any small name for Chen Ping?

This idea just rose in Song Chaozhong's mind and was immediately shot and destroyed by him. After all, an executive vice governor and a deputy mayor who was not a member of the county level. The distance between these two people is too far. How could Du Xiaolian be afraid of him?

In Song Chaozhong's view, Du Xiaolian was more likely to be frightened by Zhao Zhenchuan, the future secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, so he did not dare to act randomly. No matter how he said that he was not like himself, he would still make a living in the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee in the future. If he offended the squad leader, he would not lose his official position, but at least the executive vice governor would be very uncomfortable.

It is for this reason that Song Chaozhong took the initiative to tell Luzhuang that Du Xiaolian and others were doing things reasonably and legally. If they did better, they would not even leave any harm to themselves. After all, this Spring Festival Integrity Office was collectively created by the Provincial Party Committee.

So Song Chaozhong said: "It is necessary to prepare New Year's goods. After all, this is a tradition of our Chinese nation. It's just like Chen Ping, a national civil servant, who dares to collect such a huge amount of New Year's goods. This is already an illegal crime!"

Du Xiaolian looked up and looked at Song Chaozhong, and couldn't help but feel a little funny: Governor Song, you are too good at making a big deal, you're a huge deal. Only 50,000 is a huge amount? You must know that Chen Ping is not a deputy mayor with real power in Luzhuang City, but is better than a deputy mayor with real power. He only collects 50,000 yuan for money. If he puts it online, he will definitely be praised as a clean official like Hai Rui. You must know that now a deputy mayor with real power or a deputy director of the county is probably more than Chen Ping.

However, Du Xiaolian would definitely not say this, because no matter what, Chen Ping was still a state cadre. Even if he only charged 5,000 yuan, it would be enough to sentence him.

"What will Governor Song do?" Du Xiaolian asked Song Chaozhong.

"If I ask me, I should let the Spring Festival Integrity Office enter Luzhuang and investigate the truth about the deputy mayor of Luzhuang accepting bribes privately in the name of New Year's goods!" Song Chaozhong said confidently.

In contrast, Du Xiaolian was much calmer, and he said: "Governor Song, I have a little different view."

Du Xiaolian's words stunned Du Xiaolian for a moment. He really didn't expect Du Xiaolian to say this.

At this time, Du Xiaolian certainly would not pour cold water on Du Xiaolian, so he saw Song Chaozhong smile and nodding and said, "It's like this Governor Song. I still said that Chen Ping received New Year's goods this time. Although the amount was a little larger, it didn't mean anything. You must know that with the improvement of the country's economy and people's living standards, this New Year's goods will of course be updated day by day. How can I use a box of apples or two calendars to treat it as New Year's goods like in the past?"

Speaking of this, Du Xiaolian thought carefully for a while, and then continued: "In addition to Luzhuang, other local governments and institutions have probably already started to distribute New Year's goods. Once we have opened an opening in Luzhuang, I am afraid that the work in the future will not be easy to carry out!"

"Governor Du and you have the opposite view," said Song Chaozhong. "I think the problem is to make a big deal. Only by investigating and dealing with the New Year's goods problem in Luzhuang can we sound the alarm for other places, and collect this hole in taking advantage of the corruption of New Year's goods from the source, and kill this unhealthy trend in the cradle; on the contrary, if we continue to let it go, it will only encourage this unhealthy trend and allow some people with ulterior motives to use their brains on New Year's goods and do more articles."

Song Chaozhong enlightened Du Xiaolian confidently, but Du Xiaolian still looked hesitant. At this time, Song Chaozhong could no longer bear it and suddenly asked Du Xiaolian: "Governor Du, are you afraid of that Chen Ping?"

Song Chaozhong's words were completely a casual tone, but in Du Xiaolian's ears, it was Song Chaozhong's mockery of himself. He was mocking himself, the executive vice governor, who was even afraid of a county-level deputy mayor, so that now he has provided himself with such a good opportunity, but he wants to let him go.

Then Du Xiaolian didn't know whether she was inspired by Song Chaozhong, or she suddenly figured out something, or that he was originally going around with Song Chaozhong.
