Gao Yu Liang and Dong Wei Gang were actually very similar, both projecting an air of innocence and fearlessness in public.
Perhaps they were too caught up in their roles, even believing their own facades.
The only difference was that Gao Yu Liang wasn't greedy for money.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhao muttered, "If I were truly to join the Provincial Committee, my position would be much higher."
Why did Qi Tong Wei, a provincial department head, fawn over Li Da Kang while being dismissive towards him?
It was all because Li Da Kang had joined the Provincial Committee.
Thinking about this, Xu Zhao also felt a glimmer of hope: "Could it be that my performance impressed Sha Rui Jin?"
If that were the case, he wouldn't mind expressing his loyalty.
After all, his position in this system needed to be maintained. If he were to fall from grace, how could he achieve anything?
Returning to the matter at hand.
Regarding Dong Wei Gang's issue.
After some thought, Xu Zhao decided to first find someone to anonymously report him.
He wanted to see what the Procuratorate could find out with an anonymous report.
Soon, the mosquito camera flew back.
Xu Zhao immediately returned to his bedroom, turned on his computer, and connected it to the mosquito camera.
He then edited the surveillance footage.
He copied a copy to a USB drive and placed it in his drawer.
He would save all the footage he had recorded of Qi Tong Wei in this way.
Perhaps it would come in handy someday.
The next day.
Xu Zhao found a random excuse to meet with Lu Zheng Pin.
As he left, he placed the mosquito camera on Lu Zheng Pin, intending to uncover his secret stash of money.
He then found a high school student.
He paid the student two hundred yuan to write an anonymous letter of complaint based on his instructions.
He also included a photo.
The photo was of Dong Wei Gang and his associates having dinner in a private room the night before.
He had the student deliver it to the Disciplinary Inspection Commission.
The next day.
Xu Zhao drove to Jingzhou City early in the morning.
As the first city of Han Dong Province, the Provincial Committee was located there.
Upon arriving at the Provincial Committee, he realized he was half an hour early, and no one else was there.
After waiting for ten minutes, the other committee members gradually arrived.
"Isn't this Secretary Xu? You're here so early."
The Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee said with a smile.
"It's my first time here, so I'm a bit nervous,"
said Xu Zhao.
"There's no need to be nervous. You performed very well in the Da Feng Factory incident. You're probably here to be praised."
The Deputy Secretary said.
"If it were simply to praise me, there wouldn't be a need to call me specifically to the Standing Committee."
Xu Zhao said.
"Perhaps there's something else. It shouldn't be anything bad."
The Deputy Secretary said.
They then chatted for a few more minutes.
The Secretary of the Disciplinary Inspection Commission, the Director of Supervision, the Organization Minister, Gao Yu Liang, and Li Da Kang, along with others, gradually arrived.
Most of them knew Xu Zhao, and Xu Zhao also knew them.
They exchanged simple greetings.
On the surface, they were still quite friendly.
"This morning, Qi Tong Wei called me and said that you were going to be a member of the Standing Committee, but he wasn't. He was full of resentment towards me. It took me a lot of effort to appease him."
Gao Yu Liang, seeing Xu Zhao, naturally had more to say.
"Director Qi is thinking too much. I'm just here to receive education. I don't have the qualifications to be a member of the Standing Committee."
Xu Zhao said.
He was simply being humble, as per custom.
Unexpectedly, Li Da Kang, sitting beside him, said, "If you don't have the qualifications, then I definitely don't either."
Clearly, the Da Feng Factory incident was still affecting them.
Although the issue was resolved at the time, Li Da Kang was criticized by Sha Rui Jin afterwards.
Li Da Kang's performance was actually passable, even commendable, but he couldn't compare to Xu Zhao's outstanding performance.
This comparison made Sha Rui Jin, who had initially favored Li Da Kang, think that he was lacking.
After being criticized, Li Da Kang couldn't help but feel resentment.
"Secretary Da Kang, you're exaggerating. If it weren't for you, how could Jingzhou City develop so rapidly? I was simply lucky enough to have a flash of inspiration and happened to make a splash. If we're truly talking about ability, it's about economic construction and legal and disciplinary construction."
Xu Zhao said.
Hearing this, Li Da Kang felt a little better.
As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person. Li Da Kang softened his tone and said, "I was too hasty with the Da Feng Factory matter. Thinking about it now, it was thanks to you. Otherwise, the situation would have definitely escalated."
Xu Zhao said, "Let's not flatter each other. It's going to make others laugh."
Li Da Kang chuckled and didn't bring it up again.
However, he turned to Gao Yu Liang and said, "Secretary Gao, Cai Cheng Gong, the factory director of Da Feng Factory, committed a serious crime. A fire injured over 30 people, and the police can't find him. Someone is hiding him!"
Gao Yu Liang said, "You're saying that it's our Provincial Department Director Qi."
Li Da Kang also laughed and said, "Secretary Yu Liang, did you and the Political and Legal Committee give instructions to the Procuratorate?"
Gao Yu Liang replied calmly, "The Procuratorate has its own working system. They exercise their procuratorial powers according to law. How could the Provincial Legal Committee and I interfere arbitrarily?"
Li Da Kang said, "......"
The two of them engaged in a heated confrontation over the arrest of Cai Cheng Gong.
They nearly started arguing.
The reason Li Da Kang cared so much about Cai Cheng Gong was that the latter had reported his wife for bribery.
Gao Yu Liang and Director Qi had taken Cai Cheng Gong into custody first.
Gao Yu Liang was acting on Hou Liang Ping's request, worried that Cai Cheng Gong would be harmed, and he wanted to protect him first.
At this point, Gao Yu Liang still didn't know that Hou Liang Ping would eventually send him to prison.
He still regarded Hou Liang Ping as a good student.
Qi Tong Wei, on the other hand, wanted to deal with Cai Cheng Gong and clear the Da Feng Factory contract issue, so he was naturally very eager.
"Secretary Da Kang, don't be so agitated."
Gao Yu Liang said.
"Am I agitated?!"
Li Da Kang's expression was clearly agitated.
Just as the two were about to argue, Sha Rui Jin finally arrived.
"Who's agitated?"
Sha Rui Jin's single sentence silenced the two of them.
Xu Zhao finally saw Sha Rui Jin in person.
He looked about the same as he did in the drama.
"Secretary Sha."
Everyone stood up and greeted him.
"Everyone take a seat. No need to be stiff."
Sha Rui Jin sat in the main seat and waved his hand.
Everyone took their seats.
Xu Zhao was called in for the meeting at the last minute, so he sat in the last seat on the right.
