“Gao Qiqiang, what do you mean? You want me to take down Gao Yu Liang?!”
“You’re crazy!! Do you understand our Dragon Nation's cadre management system?! Gao Yu Liang is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission! He’s not a member of our municipal government!”
“He’s a city committee leader!!”
“Any appointment for him must be decided by the city committee meeting!!”
“Besides, he still holds the rank of a senior official at the provincial level, just like me! He’s a cadre supervised by the province!!”
“Do you think this is a game of make-believe?! You can just fire him?!”
Zhao Li Dong was furious after hearing Gao Qiqiang’s words!!
Gao Qiqiang remained calm and said on the phone: “Of course I know that, but I know Mayor Zhao, you definitely have a way. Frame him, push him out of Jinghai, no matter what, Mayor Zhao, you have to figure something out.”
“Gao Qiqiang, you want to talk to me about Tan Si Yan again?”
Zhao Li Dong clenched the phone, feeling disgusted by Gao Qiqiang’s tone.
Gao Qiqiang chuckled on the other end: “Mayor Zhao, it hasn’t reached that point yet. But I have more than just Tan Si Yan, the events on that ship, the woman who served drinks named Huang Cui Cui, and that audio recorder.”
“I know all of this.”
“You…”
Zhao Li Dong’s eyes widened!!
His entire body was covered in goosebumps!
He didn’t expect Gao Qiqiang to know so much!!
“Okay, Mayor Zhao, I know you’re busy, I won’t bother you anymore.”
After a light click, Gao Qiqiang hung up the phone.
“嘟嘟嘟……”
Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the line.
Zhao Li Dong couldn’t help but twitch his facial muscles!!
“Leader…”
Secretary Wang gulped.
“Alright, we’ve been looking for that audio recorder for so many years, and it turns out it’s been in Gao Qiqiang’s hands all along!!”
Zhao Li Dong let out a breath and gritted his teeth.
Secretary Wang was speechless.
“Cancel tomorrow’s schedule. I’m going to see Gao Qiqiang.”
Zhao Li Dong loosened his tie.
In the end, he chose to compromise.
Of course, he only intended to see if he could get Gao Yu Liang to back down verbally.
As for what Gao Qiqiang said, he wouldn’t act rashly!!
After all, he was the mayor of a city. Even if Gao Qiqiang had a handle on him.
He had his own dignity, not a puppet in the hands of a businessman!!
…………
The next day.
Zhao Li Dong met Gao Yu Liang in the office of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
Gao Yu Liang was assigning tasks to An Xin and Qi Tong Wei.
Upon seeing Zhao Li Dong arrive, he just raised his hand in greeting, then asked his secretary to take him to the lounge.
This made Zhao Li Dong feel very embarrassed.
But thinking about his request, he had to swallow his pride.
Half an hour later.
Zhao Li Dong finally saw Gao Yu Liang.
“Comrade Gao Yu Liang, you’re quite a workaholic. We should all learn from you.”
Zhao Li Dong said.
Gao Yu Liang waved his hand: “Mayor Zhao, just get to the point.”
Zhao Li Dong’s face was a bit awkward, and he adjusted his tone: “It’s like this, Secretary Gao, recently, some of our grassroots cadres have reported to me that the impact of our Operation Cleansweep is a bit too big.”
“It’s not that this kind of operation is bad, but when we do things, we still need people to do it. At least we can’t deal with so many people all at once, don’t you think?”
Gao Yu Liang was taken aback: “Mayor Zhao, we can’t tolerate corruption for the sake of urban development. If things get serious, it could lead to large-scale social incidents!”
Zhao Li Dong quickly nodded: “You’re right, but I’m not saying not to deal with it, I’m saying don’t deal with them all together. And about Qiang Sheng Group, Secretary Gao, aren’t you a bit too fixated on them? Qiang Sheng Group has been a major taxpayer in our city for all these years, and they have also made contributions to other public welfare projects. We can’t just see the bad side of them.”
Gao Yu Liang understood what was happening.
Gao Qiqiang had found Zhao Li Dong!
So, he smiled slightly and clasped his hands together: “Mayor Zhao, what do you mean by that? Did Gao Qiqiang find you? Or did you already get in touch with Gao Qiqiang??
Zhao Li Dong’s face changed, and he quickly waved his hands: “No, no, no, I’m just stating a fact.”
Gao Yu Liang didn’t listen to Zhao Li Dong’s nonsense.
He checked the time and said,
“Alright, Mayor Zhao, I have another meeting, I won’t talk to you any further. I will continue to investigate Qiang Sheng Group.”
“By the way, Mayor Zhao, I really hope you don’t get into trouble…”
In the end, Gao Yu Liang gave Zhao Li Dong another warning.
The latter’s back was dripping with sweat!!
…………
After returning to his own home.
Zhao Li Dong couldn’t fall asleep.
Of course, he wasn’t worried about not being able to explain things to Gao Qiqiang.
In fact, at least so far.
He didn’t think Gao Qiqiang would easily leak the audio recorder and Tan Si Yan’s affair.
That wouldn’t benefit anyone!!
However, he was worried that if Gao Yu Liang continued to dig deeper,
Perhaps, before Gao Qiqiang himself exploded.
He would be exposed by Gao Yu Liang!!
“No, I need to make a call immediately!!”
Zhao Li Dong sat up abruptly.
He picked up the phone and went to the study.
“Hello, Comrade He Li Ming.”
As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Li Dong said directly.
The call was to He Li Ming, the current deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Han Dong Province.
Actually, He Li Ming, like Zhao Li Dong, was also a senior official at the provincial level.
In terms of real power, Zhao Li Dong was even higher!
But when he took office as mayor, He Li Ming used his connections in the province to help him with many things.
Therefore, the two had always been close allies.
“What’s wrong, Li Dong? Why aren’t you sleeping so late?” He Li Ming yawned on the other end of the line.
“Remember Huang Cui Cui? ”
Zhao Li Dong’s single sentence made He Li Ming completely lose his sleepiness!!
“Huang Cui Cui?! Isn’t she dead?!”
He Li Ming exclaimed, then realized his mistake and quickly lowered his voice.
“She’s dead, but that audio recorder we’ve been looking for…”
“Is now in Gao Qiqiang’s hands!!”
Zhao Li Dong took a deep breath and said.
He Li Ming immediately fell silent!!
