Chapter 40
: Zhong Xiaoai must be taken to the archives!
Handong Province, Provincial Party Committee Compound, Deputy Secretary's Office.
Zhou Lifeng, the deputy head of the organization department, pushed open the door and walked in, only to find that Sha Ruijin, the secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, and Tian Guofu, the secretary of the Handong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, had also followed him in. His expression immediately turned somewhat displeased. "Secretary Sha, Secretary Tian, I want to speak with Comrade Gao Yuliang on behalf of the Party organization. Would you like to listen in as well?"
Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu exchanged a glance. They weren't stupid, so they naturally understood Zhou Lifeng's order to leave and departed on their own.
The two had just left when Lin Qicheng followed them in. Zhou Lifeng, seeing Lin Qicheng arrive so late, asked in surprise, "Old Lin, why did you take so long? What were you doing?"
Lin Qicheng smiled. "It's nothing, just scaring the two kids a little..."
Zhou Lifeng looked at Lin Qicheng beside him and said meaningfully, "Old Lin, when did you realize that Comrade Gao Yuliang was one of our own?"
"How dare you ask?" Upon hearing this, Lin Qicheng immediately looked resentful and complained, "The old leader specially arranged for me to come here, and told me to go to Handong to bring Comrade Gao Yuliang to Beijing, without telling me anything about the situation."
"If the old leader doesn't want to say, then so be it. After all, the old leader has his own reasons."
"But I didn't expect you to be so disloyal. You knew all along, but you didn't tell me. You should know that when I was your former boss's secretary, who was there to plead for you when you made a mistake?"
Gao Yuliang had already come over and watched the two talk, then stood quietly to the side without disturbing them.
After the two finished speaking, he walked up to Zhou Lifeng, the deputy minister of the Organization Department, and extended his hand: "Minister Zhou, it's been a long time."
"Long time no see?" Zhou Lifeng was taken aback, his face full of question marks. He asked in a daze, "No, Secretary Yuliang, you mean we haven't seen each other for a long time? Have we even met before?"
I've definitely seen them before, and they're not just ordinary acquaintances!
In their previous life, the two men in Qincheng Prison recounted their past with regret, having been the prison's best friends.
However, Gao Yuliang certainly couldn't say this directly, otherwise he would easily be mistaken for a mentally ill person. He had already prepared his answer: "Minister Zhou doesn't know me, but who in politics doesn't know Minister Zhou?"
Zhou Lifeng smiled and introduced Gao Yuliang, "Secretary Yuliang, this is Lin Qicheng, the director of the First Supervision Office of the Discipline Inspection Commission. You heard our conversation just now. He used to be my second uncle's secretary."
Upon hearing Zhou Lifeng's introduction, Lin Qicheng held Gao Yuliang in even higher regard. After Zhou Lifeng finished speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward and grasped Gao Yuliang's hands with both of his, saying, "Secretary Yuliang, I've heard so much about you!"
Unexpectedly, Gao Yuliang was even more proactive, shaking Lin Qicheng's hands in return, "Director Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Lin Qicheng didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Secretary Yuliang, the purpose of my visit is to bring you back to Beijing on orders from Secretary Zhou Qingguo of the Discipline Inspection Commission!"
Hearing Lin Qicheng get down to business, Zhou Lifeng straightened up and said solemnly, "Secretary Yuliang, I have received orders from both sides for this trip!"
"On one hand, it's a direct order from Vice President Lü to bring you back to Beijing for a work report, and the entire mission must be kept confidential!"
"One of them is my second aunt. She wants to thank you in person for saving her life. She originally wanted to come and express her gratitude, but she just had surgery and it's inconvenient for her to come!"
Gao Yuliang was a little confused at this moment. The Discipline Inspection Commission and the Organization Department sent people. He originally thought that Old Zhou sent people to simply solve his problem. Why did he need to go back to Beijing to report on his work?
If Zhou Lifeng's second aunt wanted to thank him for saving her life, that would be understandable, but why is President Lü involved?
Little did he know that Lin Qicheng, standing to the side, was inwardly turmoil and terrified. He only knew that Gao Yuliang had a former leader behind him, but he didn't know what the connection was.
When Zhou Lifeng mentioned that his second aunt wanted to personally thank Gao Yuliang for saving her life, Lin Qicheng instantly realized that Gao Yuliang... had saved his old leader's wife!
This is a life-saving grace!
The grace of saving my life is greater than heaven!
By saving his former leader's wife, Gao Yuliang essentially saved his former leader, didn't he?
Knowing this connection, Lin Qicheng's mind started to work. If that's the case, could Zhong Xiaoai, who has always been targeting Gao Yuliang, be moved to a different position? For example... to go to the archives?
Yes, when I get back to the capital, I'll have Zhong Xiaoai check out the archives. That's the only way I can make up for my mistake of ordering the investigation of Gao Yuliang, and that's the only way I can continue to make progress!
At this moment, Gao Yuliang seemed to have thought of something: Could it be... that construction plan for new energy?
