"Secretary Xiao, are you talking about this matter? Whether it is the layout that tried to make me constantly make mistakes before or the current situation where the State Council sent a research team to Linjiang, the deputy secretary-general of our provincial government office was arrested according to a letter of complaint. It was arranged by a small deputy mayor of Luzhuang City?" Zhang Jinchi asked in disbelief.

Xiao Hongkun replied: "Yes, Governor Zhang, all this was arranged by him, he..."

Before Xiao Hongkun finished speaking, he was severely interrupted by Zhang Jinchi. He said to Xiao Hongkun angrily: "Secretary Xiao, are you insulting my IQ or your own IQ? Although my situation is very bad now, I am still the dignified governor of Jiangnan Province. I would like to pay attention to your identity, don't go too far!"

Zhang Jinchi had to be angry. After all, just like he said, he was still a governor. If he lost to Xiao Hongkun, it would be understandable. Although Xiao Hongkun could not compare to himself in terms of level, he was still an old bureaucrat in Jiangnan Province. It was not that he did not have the qualifications to go further, but that he did not want to go up again, so he continued to retire as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee until he retired. Otherwise, Zhang Jinchi would not say that Xiao Hongkun could take the position of provincial party committee secretary after he moved him down.

But if Chen Ping was the deputy mayor of a small county-level city, he was at best a department-level cadre. Zhang Jinchi would not even look at such an official. If he said that he was put on a gesture by such a person, that was something that Zhang Jinchi could not accept, so he would express his attitude so righteously.

Listening to Zhang Jinchi's words, Xiao Hongkun smiled helplessly in his heart. In fact, he could guess that it would be the result before saying this. The reason is very simple. Not to mention how high Zhang Jinchi's self-esteem is, it is already absurd to just be the deputy mayor of a county-level city directed himself as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee to do things.

In fact, sometimes when I look back, I feel a little incredible. If my daughter hadn't trusted Chen Ping so much, if Chen Ping wasn't really capable, if it weren't for so many coincidence factors, how could there be room for a department-level official to speak in the game between me and Zhang Jinchi?

I have this feeling, what about Zhang Jinchi? I’m afraid that when he hears this, he will only think that he is deliberately humiliating him.

"I don't want to explain anything about this," said Xiao Hongkun.

As soon as Xiao Hongkun finished speaking, Zhang Jinchi snorted coldly and said, "I think you have nothing to explain, Secretary Xiao, right?"

Facing Zhang Jinchi's words, Xiao Hongkun did not intend to take him over. He just continued to say according to his pre-examination: "Actually, Governor Zhang, you might as well think about my attitude in the agency, and think about my actions this time. I believe that with Governor Zhang's intelligence, it should not be difficult to understand something."

This made Zhang Jinchi stunned for a moment, because he didn't need to recall Xiao Hongkun's past actions to guess the problem.

Zhang Jinchi himself has been in the officialdom for so long, so he knows very well that the bigger the official position a person sits, the less courage he is, the more things he will worry about, and he will not dare to engage in any political issues.

This time the layout obviously requires certain risks. Whether it is the attitude of the central government or its own reaction, although this layout is judged from the most likely idea, it is hard to say that there will be no accidents. You must know that once a problem occurs in a certain link in the middle, this layout will not be possible.

If it were Xiao Hongkun himself, he would have to just retire safely. How could he still make such a radical layout? Even if he targeted Luzhuang, he would most likely seek private reconciliation with him. He would not have been able to stay with him. How could he choose such a path?

From this perspective, Xiao Hongkun’s statement is not untrue.

From Zhang Jinchi's silence for a while, Xiao Hongkun knew that he must have figured it out, so he sighed and said with emotion: "So Governor Zhang, we old guys sometimes have to accept our old age!"

"It seems that Secretary Xiao is very optimistic and trusting Chen Ping?" Zhang Jinchi asked.

"It's certain that I'm optimistic about him. After all, I think his potential is still very good," said Xiao Hongkun. "As for trust, there is no question. However, Governor Zhang, you should also know that my daughter is now the secretary of the Luzhuang Municipal Party Committee. She trusts Chen Ping very much, and I also think that his ideas can be realized, so of course I did this."

Zhang Jinchi said with an oh, "Listen to Secretary Xiao, is this Chen Ping going to be called by Secretary Xiao as the son-in-law?"

"At this time, I can still make this joke with me. I am really worthy of being Governor Zhang," Xiao Hongkun praised Zhang Jinchi first, and then continued, "It's hard to say whether Chen Ping will enter my house. After all, my daughter's vision is also very picky, but it is worthy of trust in the character and ideas of this young man."

"Secretary Xiao, you are just telling me so openly. Are you not afraid that I will retaliate against him in private and destroy the seedling you are optimistic about?" Zhang Jinchi asked curiously.

Xiao Hongkun was silent for a while in the face of Zhang Jinchi's problem, and then said, "Governor Zhang, you remind me that although the situation has reached the end, after all, he has only arrested a small deputy secretary-general of the provincial government office. Governor Zhang, you are still the governor in power, and it is still more than enough to deal with the deputy mayor of a county-level city."

Speaking of this, Xiao Hongkun's words suddenly changed and then said, "But Governor Zhang, aren't you afraid that I would say this has another purpose? You know, although the layout was planned by Chen Ping, I, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, are not always standing by. I would like to advise Governor Zhang to underestimate me, especially at this stage."

Xiao Hongkun's seat was undoubtedly the most direct threat, which made Zhang Jinchi's face dark and gritted his teeth, but it has to be said that this is the truth.

As an old bureaucrat who has been in the officialdom for half his life, it is also a very simple thing to make a fuss in a foregone conclusion and use a small thing to change his fate.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jinchi sighed and said, "Okay, Secretary Xiao, you won. I won't do any extra things anymore. But since Secretary Xiao, you are so optimistic about Chen Ping, then let me meet the person who defeated me and ask me to say a few words to him, right?"

"This depends on his arrangement," said Xiao Hongkun. "Governor Zhang, you should also know that grassroots work is generally busy."

This answer made Zhang Jinchi almost go wild again. After all, he is the governor. He usually meets any official in Jiangnan Province. Even if the other party is a department-level cadre, the other party will agree happily, and he is afraid that he will regret it. However, now he is just going to meet the deputy mayor of a county-level city, but he still has to make an appointment. What's going on? Could it be that Chen Ping really has three heads and six arms?

However, people are sometimes so cheap, even Governor Zhang Jinchi is no exception.

It was precisely because Xiao Hongkun said something that Chen Ping might not have time to do that Zhang Jinchi said: "Okay, then please help me ask him when he is free."
