Zhong Xiaoai was stunned

In the Zhou family compound, Gao Yuliang stood in front of his room window, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky through the glass. After hesitating for a long time, he finally dialed Teacher Wu's number.

"Teacher Wu, what are you doing?"

"Yuliang, you...you can actually make phone calls!" Teacher Wu received Gao Yuliang's call, her voice filled with surprise and disbelief.

Hearing Teacher Wu's familiar voice, Gao Yuliang smiled and couldn't help but tease, "Teacher Wu, I can not only make phone calls, but I can also dance in the square."

After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Teacher Wu asked with a mixture of surprise and doubt, "Weren't you taken away by the inspection team for investigation? Does that mean your personal freedom isn't restricted during the investigation? You can make calls freely?"

"Teacher Wu, I need to correct you on one point. I was taken away by the inspection team, but who told you they were investigating me?" Gao Yuliang explained, "Didn't I tell you? I'm returning to Beijing to report on my work, not to be investigated."

"During my trip to Beijing, not only was I not investigated, but I was also promoted. I am now the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, a ministerial-level position!"

"Yuliang, have you gone mad from the shock?" Wu Huifen's voice was filled with worry. "Even if the inspection team doesn't investigate you for what you've done, the organization won't promote you!"

"A deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission, a ministerial-level position. If the organization wanted to promote you, would the provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin, have been parachuted in?"

"I……"

Gao Yuliang was speechless after being confronted. He wanted to explain, but the new energy vehicle project was still in the confidential stage, so he couldn't be direct. He could only vaguely say, "Professor Wu, please believe me. Some things have happened during this period. I am indeed the deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission now. I won't lie to you."

Silence fell again on the phone. After a long while, Wu Huifen sighed, "I also hope it's true, but Yuliang, is that even possible?"

I know that Teacher Wu definitely won't believe me now. Let alone Teacher Wu, even if I were in his shoes, I wouldn't believe that the person who was taken away by the inspection team not only wasn't investigated, but was also promoted!

Gao Yuliang remembered that he had an important speech at the National Economic and Social Work Conference in four days, so he reminded him, "Professor Wu, I can't explain that much to you right now. You must watch the National Economic and Social Work Conference on CCTV-1 in four days."

Mr. Wu hung up the phone with a worried expression. He checked and found that there was indeed a national economic work conference in four days, which was a major meeting to determine the direction of the national economy and the focus of economic construction!

What does such an important meeting have to do with Yu Liang, who was taken away by the inspection team?

After hanging up with Teacher Wu, Gao Yuliang called Qi Tongwei. Qi Tongwei's stay in Beijing was only temporary; he was going to return to Handong to take over Liu Zhendong's position, so he wanted to ask about the current situation.

In particular, with all the officials in Handong feeling that they have been placed under investigation, there is no doubt that the political landscape in Handong will undergo tremendous changes.

Forty minutes later, Gao Yuliang hung up Qi Tongwei's call, his fists clenching unconsciously, his face filled with gloom.

Having only been away from the inspection team for a little over a day, Sha Ruijin was already eager to take action. First, Xiao Gangyu, the chief prosecutor of the Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate, was placed under investigation for suspected bribery and abuse of power.

Secondly, Chen Qingquan, the vice president of the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court, was suspended from his duties and investigated due to personal life issues.

Because Wu Chunlin, the Organization Minister of Handong Province, made a real-name report accusing Sha Ruijin of forming cliques and suppressing dissent, Sha Ruijin, the Provincial Party Secretary, and Tian Guofu, the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, did not dare to take action against Wu Chunlin. However, they did decide to place someone in the Organization Department as the Deputy Minister.

Finally, there's the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province. Because Qi Tongwei's first-class merit citation means he can't be promoted for the time being, Sha Ruijin still arranged for Zhao Donglai to enter the provincial bureau as deputy director.

The landscape of Handong Province has been fundamentally altered. High-ranking leaders of the Handong clique have been either investigated or restricted, suffering a severe blow.

Moreover, Gao Yuliang learned some news that made him very angry: on the same day that he was taken away by the inspection team, Teacher Wu was kicked out of the provincial party committee villa, and the person who gave this order was actually Hou Liangping, the director of the anti-corruption bureau!

Of all these messages, none angered Gao Yuliang more than the last one. Hou Liangping was already willing to sacrifice his own life for credit, but now he was actually bullying Teacher Wu.

You know, every time Hou Liangping came to our house, Teacher Wu treated him like a son. Hou Liangping actually did something like this, which once again refreshed his understanding of Hou Liangping!

"Okay, okay." Gao Yuliang lit a cigarette. Having lived two lives, he already hated Hou Liangping to the core, and now his hatred had deepened. He was now eager to return to Handong and see the true face of this despicable Hou Liangping!

Unable to sleep all night, Gao Yuliang blamed himself for being blind and misjudging the person.

Meanwhile, Gao Yuliang was also thinking about how to properly "take care" of Hou Liangping: should he take him down now, or go back to Handong and watch him struggle?

In the end, Gao Yuliang decided to endure it for a few more days, let Hou Liangping cause trouble for a few more days, and when he returned to Handong, he would witness his fate with his own eyes.

After having breakfast, Gao Yuliang boarded car 003 and headed to the Development and Reform Commission of Xicheng District, pondering how to cooperate with Liu Haiyang, the director of the Development and Reform Commission.

Little did they know that a large group of leaders from the Development and Reform Commission were already waiting at the door early in the morning, all dressed smartly and with smiles on their faces, as if welcoming a high-ranking leader for an inspection.

About half an hour later, a Hongqi car with a red star and red flag appeared at the intersection, and the license plate ended in 003.

Everyone's pupils contracted as they recognized it as Mr. Lü's official car. Since Mr. Lü didn't need to pass through this area on his way to work, there was only one possibility left: Mr. Lü was personally driving the new leader to his new post!

Now, those who had doubts about Director Liu Haiyang's words yesterday have put aside their ulterior motives, straightened their clothes and hairstyles, and are all eager to make a good impression on General Manager Lü and the new leader.

Squeezed into the crowd, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but take out a mirror to tidy himself up. He was confident that the new leader would accept his defection, after all, his father, Zhong Zhengguo, held a certain amount of influence in the Development and Reform Commission.

As expected, the 003 car stopped in front of the Development and Reform Commission's gate. The driver got out, went to the back seat, and bowed to open the car door.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gao Yuliang got out of the car. His gaze swept over the large group of people at the entrance, and he was somewhat puzzled. Were these people waiting for him at the door? He was a deputy director, not the director, so it didn't make any sense!

While Gao Yuliang was in a daze, the deputy director in charge noticed that General Manager Lü was not in the car and immediately stepped forward to shake Gao Yuliang's hand: "Director Yuliang, we've been waiting for you. The Development and Reform Commission is waiting for your guidance."

In the crowd, Zhong Xiaoai saw Gao Yuliang getting off the 003 special car. The smile on her face gradually froze, and her eyes were filled with disbelief and incredulity!
