Chapter 225 The Final Kick
Such overly proactive behavior often frightens people.
Zheng Zhiguo stepped back again, reached out to stop her, and looked Xiao Yanfang up and down.
"You don't need these things to maintain your current position."
The fact that County Chief Chen chose to promote you suggests that he must have seen something special about you; it's definitely not as simple as just a cup of water.
Through these days of getting to know each other, I've also discovered many of your good qualities.
They are decisive and efficient in their work, and have a clear sense of right and wrong.
You might as well boldly move forward.
It's not that you have to use your body to please a man; that kind of relationship is too vulgar.
If I agree to your request today, I will harm both you and myself.
Once you take that step, you lose everyone's respect.
Without respect, you won't go far, let alone climb high.
Xiao Yanfang stood there stunned; Zheng Zhiguo had actually seen right through her.
That's right, she just felt like things were going really well for her.
County Magistrate Chen promoted him, and then Zheng Zhiguo took her along to investigate Xiuxiu and Zhou Dongliang's case, which was essentially giving her credit.
She felt that everything was going too smoothly and that she didn't deserve such good things.
Either County Magistrate Chen wanted her body, or Zheng Zhiguo wanted her.
She had tried to win over County Chief Chen quite a bit, but he didn't respond at all.
Now, even when I flirt with Zheng Zhiguo, he still hasn't responded.
She didn't know what to do.
This director has only been in office for a short time, and he's afraid he'll be dismissed again in a few days.
"Director Zheng, I..."
Zheng Zhiguo's tone softened: "Do a good job."
Don't try anything underhanded.
County Chief Chen is someone who aspires to higher positions.
We must unite, be diligent, and not cause him any trouble.
Being the director is just your starting point.
"As long as we follow the right people and work together, who will County Chief Chen promote and who will he take on as a mentor when he gets promoted?"
Xiao Yanfang understood: "Naturally, he's bringing along those of us who have helped him and whom he trusts."
"Yeah, if we're just messing around here, how can he trust us? How can he entrust us with important matters?"
"Yes, yes..."
Zheng Zhiguo glanced at his watch: "I can't talk to you anymore, I have to go out. Be good, stop overthinking, you hear me!"
"Don't worry, I won't do it again."
Zheng Zhiguo hurriedly walked towards the gate.
"Thank you!" Xiao Yanfang called out to his retreating figure.
When Zheng Zhiguo turned around, he saw that Xiao Yanfang's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.
Zheng Zhiguo wasn't unmoved, but he knew he didn't dare, so he gritted his teeth and left.
He called three police officers, grabbed their guns, and headed towards Humen.
On the way, I made a phone call to County Chief Chen.
"County Chief Chen, is now a convenient time for you to speak?"
"convenient."
"That kid already left the location of the safe house; I'll head there normally."
"Very good, thank you for your hard work, Director Zheng."
"It's no trouble at all. I'll report back to you after I'm done."
"Okay, is anyone there?"
"No."
"Just go for it. If you encounter any obstacles, give me a call and I'll step in to help you coordinate."
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that."
David's voice grew heavy: "It's the final push, brother, hold on."
"Yes!" Zheng Zhiguo nodded vigorously, his face filled with undisguised excitement.
County Chief Chen is a reliable person, but he has a unique way of speaking.
He was very careful in using the word "brother," which carries a sense of江湖 (jianghu, a world of martial arts and chivalry) connotations.
It's clear that the county magistrate has already considered him one of his own.
……
At the county hospital.
The comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection confirmed Zhou Xiangzhang's condition with the hospital doctors.
Zhou Xiangzhang's condition was caused by a sudden surge of anger, coupled with insufficient sleep, high stress levels, and a generally poor physical condition, resulting in a brief fainting spell.
Currently, Zhou Xiangzhang has been taking medication, and all of her vital signs are stable, allowing her to converse.
If necessary, they can even be taken away for investigation.
With the hospital's official conclusion, the comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection were relieved and began a preliminary investigation into Zhou Xiangzhang right there in the ward.
Whether or not they will be taken away for detention depends on the outcome of the conversation.
Zhou Xiangzhang lay diagonally on the bed, with several comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission sitting beside him.
The leader of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had a serious expression: "Comrade Xiangzhang."
We received a report from the Meihua City Discipline Inspection Commission, which stated that your son was taken away by the police on multiple charges, including drug-related offenses and suspected rape.
Do you have anything to say about this?
Zhou Xiangzhang frowned deeply, her eyes filled with thought and sorrow. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "I only heard about it later... I was completely unaware of it before."
Leader, I bear responsibility for my oversight, mismanagement, and failure to properly educate.
I request the organization to severely punish this wicked Zhou Dongliang, in accordance with the law and regulations, and to show absolutely no leniency.
These words surprised the comrades of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, as it was the first time they had ever heard someone so willing to put aside family ties for the greater good.
"You mean, before Zhou Dongliang was taken away, you had absolutely no idea what he was doing outside?"
"Yes, leader," Zhou Xiangzhang replied with certainty.
This must be firmly insisted upon, otherwise, if the higher-ups convict him of harboring a criminal, he'll be in deep trouble.
Now that Zhou Dongliang has been arrested, Zhou Xiangzhang can no longer expect to rise in rank; she's just lucky she won't be arrested along with him.
Even if the organization doesn't deal with it severely, at the very least, he should be transferred from the position of county party secretary.
So what he needs to do now is to try his best not to fall too hard, even if it means saying a few harsh words or cursing his son.
"Comrade Xiangzhang, you're a veteran Party member, you must be honest with the organization."
We will verify all the situations you mentioned later.
If we can't find out about this, you've lied to the organization...
Zhou Xiangzhang interrupted firmly, "Then I'll do whatever you want with me. I'll accept any punishment without complaint."
Having received education and training from the organization for many years, I have never forgotten that I came to where I am today from being a country boy.
I feel grateful to the organization, the country, and the people.
"I can dedicate everything I have to my country and my people."
He seemed a little agitated, his eyes were red, as if he had suffered some great injustice.
The comrades in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had heard these words far too often, so they naturally knew how much of it was exaggerated.
But when these righteous and glorious words were spoken, no one dared to refute them.
This seems to have become a tacit understanding in certain circles.
No one will expose it.
