Did What Had to Be Done

"Is there any evidence about that person?"

Lin Xiao interrupted and asked, but Xu Jingnan on the other end of the phone was stunned and couldn't answer for a moment. It wasn't until a few seconds later that he realized what was happening.

"Not yet. Only two deputy county heads and some mid-level cadres are involved. More clues will likely become clearer after all the investigations are completed."

Lin Xiao was somewhat disappointed by this, as it was unlikely that the person hadn't gotten involved in anything, given their relationship with Cai Qingqi.

"Okay, Director Xu, report the information you have to Secretary Huang as soon as possible so that we can take the next steps."

The two deputy county heads involved were Bai Fan and Pan Ping. They facilitated Qingqi Group's contracting of municipal engineering projects and project bidding, and received kickbacks in return. In return, Qingqi Group not only paid a considerable amount of "fees", but also provided special services to Bai and Pan at the Hao Fu Hua Hotel, and kept relevant video materials so that it could maintain a long-term mutually beneficial relationship with Bai and Pan in the future.

It can be said that Qingqi Group has a very high level of professionalism in this regard, and this is probably not the first time they have done something like this.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao immediately got up to wash up, and upon arriving at the county government, he reported the situation to Gong Lei as soon as possible.

After listening, Gong Lei nodded approvingly and smiled, "Xiao Lin, you've done another great service this time. Although Cai Qingqi is still at large, his network of connections in Fengshan County has been destroyed, almost completely eradicated. This is a great thing for Fengshan County, purifying the cadre ranks and improving the business environment. So, don't be too upset about those who have escaped; I believe they will be caught in one fell swoop soon."

Subsequently, Gong Lei stated that once the Qingqi Group matter is resolved, Fengshan County can relax and fully focus on promoting economic development.

Ultimately, development is the only way forward!

This single battle further increased Gong Lei's appreciation for Lin Xiao, and he secretly regarded him as his "lucky charm".

Not only him, but Huang Zaichuan also showed a "winning over" or even "conceding" attitude, which was mainly reflected in some personnel changes after this incident.

The Party Secretary is in charge of personnel, and the County Head is in charge of finances. This has been a long-standing tacit understanding. However, this time Huang Zaichuan was sending a message of "negotiation" to Gong Lei. His only request was to calm things down as soon as possible and get the county's work back on track.

As a result, Gong Lei was able to place his own people in several important positions, which ensured that he could more smoothly implement his ideas in the following work.

As a county head, the level of economic prosperity is a measure of whether his political achievements are solid, and a stable and harmonious situation is the foundation for achieving political success.

In conclusion, the "Thunder Operation" initiated by Lin Xiao was a "win-win" situation for everyone who was not involved.

"County Chief Gong, without your and Secretary Huang's support, this matter could not have progressed so quickly. I just did what I was supposed to do."

"Haha, you're always so modest. But whether you've made any contributions or not, Secretary Huang and I know it in our hearts, and the city leaders know it too."

After saying that, Gong Lei checked the time and then said, "Xiao Lin, please inform the deputy county heads that I will be holding an office meeting in an hour, mainly to refine the details of investment promotion and the pilot program in Songmao Village."

"Yes, County Head, I'll go and inform them right away."

Lin Xiao returned to his desk, picked up the internal phone to make a call, but put it down a second later. After thinking for a few seconds, he walked out of the secretary's office.

"Knock knock knock..."

Seeing that Cheng Junjie was not in the secretary's office, Lin Xiao knocked directly on the door of the inner office.

"Enter!"

"County Chief Hong, County Chief Gong will be holding an office meeting in an hour to discuss the investment promotion and pilot program in Songmao Village. Please attend on time."

Lin Xiao could see clearly that Hong Feng's face turned as black as charcoal the moment he spoke, and his gaze was filled with hatred.

In this case involving Qingqi Group, the fact that no evidence was found about Hong Feng was somewhat unexpected by Lin Xiao. However, Lin Xiao believed that with the liquidation of Qingqi Group, the foundation of this executive deputy county head would be almost completely destroyed, and his influence would inevitably decline.

"County Chief Hong, I see your eyes are bloodshot, it must be because you haven't slept well. You must take care of yourself and get some rest. If you collapse from exhaustion, it will be a loss for Fengshan County."

After giving the notification, Lin Xiao intended to leave, since he had come specifically to see Hong Feng's reaction. However, before leaving, he couldn't help but say a few more words with a half-smile.

This time, Hong Feng's eyes glared at him, even colder than before, but he still didn't say anything, only letting out a cold snort.

At this moment, Cheng Junjie also entered the secretary's office. Seeing Lin Xiao come out from the inner room, he immediately asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"

"Notify County Chief Hong to attend a meeting. Since you're here, I'll let you know again. Remember to remind County Chief Hong to attend the office meeting an hour later." After saying that, Lin Xiao walked straight out.

Cheng Junjie rolled his eyes and returned to his desk, but before he could put down the documents in his hand, the sound of a teacup breaking came from the inner room, causing him to shudder involuntarily and his heart to tighten.

This is not the first time. It can be said that since Zhan Shixiong was taken down, Hong Feng's temper has become increasingly bad. He gets angry and smashes cups at the drop of a hat, and he often uses him as a punching bag.

Therefore, this period was simply agonizing for Cheng Junjie.

"Are you deaf?"

Hong Feng's gloomy voice came from the inner room.

Cheng Junjie shuddered, hurriedly put down the documents in his hand, took out a new teacup from the cabinet, brewed another cup of tea, brought it in, and carefully placed it on the table. Then he went back to the secretary's office to get a broom, bent over, and gently swept the broken glass on the floor.

At this moment, he was still uneasy. He was worried that County Chief Hong, who was sitting in front of his desk, would lose his temper and smash things again, causing new scars on his old wounds. He was also worried that his future would be drastically changed because of this executive deputy county chief, since he knew a little about him as a secretary.

"Damn it, why am I so unlucky? I thought following a deputy county head would be a promising career, but who knew that not only is my future uncertain, but I also get scolded every day and live in fear. When will this end...?"

Back at his desk, Cheng Junjie felt a pang of sadness.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao went to the office of Chu Mingjing, a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Deputy County Head.

After delivering the notification, Chu Mingjing smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, you already have a lot to do. It's just a meeting; there's no need to come all the way here to notify you. A phone call would have been enough."

Lin Xiao replied with a smile, "County Chief Chu, no matter how much work I have, I'm not as busy as the leaders. Besides, this is my job."

Chu Mingjing nodded, also with an appreciative expression: "Sigh, if everyone had your work ethic, we would do our jobs even better."

Lin Xiao humbly replied, "County Chief Chu, you flatter me. I really didn't do anything special. I just kept the tasks assigned by the leaders in mind and carried them out diligently."

Chu Mingjing sighed, "In fact, it's already quite difficult to do this, and anything can be done well if you put your heart into it."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Xiao said goodbye and left.

Chu Mingjing's attitude was so good, he probably felt that an opportunity was coming. As a member of the county party committee, he naturally had his own information channels. The events of the past few days, combined with Hong Feng's worried appearance, inevitably made him have some ideas.

Deputy County Heads Bai Fan and Pan Ping were in very poor condition, looking dejected and as if the end of the world was about to come.

Although we have clues about their illegal and disorderly conduct, we still need to verify them, so we haven't taken any action against them yet.

Although the information was asked to be kept confidential, it is practically impossible to keep such a big operation completely secret.

However, these two were not thinking of confessing to the organization, but instead were still discussing countermeasures with a glimmer of hope. It can only be said that they would not shed tears until they saw the coffin.

At 10:30, all the deputy county heads arrived on time, but the meeting room was deathly silent. No one spoke, and it was filled with smoke.

Under normal circumstances, County Head Gong Lei should have started the meeting at this time, but after waiting for about ten minutes, he walked into the meeting room with a solemn expression, followed by two serious-looking staff members.
