When Mr. Ji Yang received the call from the provincial committee, he realized that only three people were headed to the province.
As everyone walked toward the parking lot, Mr. Ji Yang saw Lu Mingping and Deng Guohai.
Seeing Lu Mingping was not surprising, but when he saw Deng Guohai, Mr. Ji Yang was taken aback for a moment.
Mr. Ji Yang had been secretly monitoring the development of events and understood the situation all too well. In his view, Deng Guohai was supposed to be taken down this time; unexpectedly to Mr. Ji Yang, Deng Guohai ended up being one of those who stayed on.
Mr. Ji Yang had some admiration for Deng Guohai for managing to extricate himself from such a situation.
Of course, Deng Guohai was unaware that Mr. Ji Yang had discovered some of his situations, and during this period, Mr. Ji Yang had also secretly obtained some evidence material related to Deng Guohai.
When Deng Guohai saw Mr. Ji Yang approaching, he smiled, walked up to shake hands, and said, "Mayor Ji."
"Secretary Deng, good to see you."
The two chatted for a while, and then Lu Mingping came over.
Everyone shook hands and greeted each other again.
"Please, everyone, get into my car," Deng Guohai invited everyone.
Lu Mingping hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, let’s talk. We can have the others ."
The three men got into Deng Guohai’s car.
Mr. Ji Yang had always shown a demeanor of not competing for attention and had become somewhat of an invisible man in the team. Lu Mingping still treated Mr. Ji Yang quite well. Follow current novᴇls on n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
The car drove along the road as they began to talk about the affairs of Jinyin City.
Regarding the events that had occurred in the city, everyone had mixed feelings. They had not expected that their entire team would now be reduced to just the three of them.
Deng Guohai let out a sigh and said, "I never thought so much could happen in one team. Mayor Huang is the victim!"
Lu Mingping nodded slightly and said, "That’s true, but old Huang hasn’t managed his own family well!"
That was as far as the conversation went.
Mr. Ji Yang said, "Recently, I have been studying the economic situation of Jinyin City. Honestly, if Jinyin City does not develop its economy, the overall situation will only get worse."
"Comrade Ji Yang has always been an expert in economics. If Jinyin City is to develop, it will still have to rely on comrades like you," Deng Guohai complimented.
Mr. Ji Yang thought to himself that Deng Guohai indeed knew how to speak well, presenting a kindly attitude. If he didn’t know the kind of person Deng was, he could have been deceived by his words.
"Secretary Deng has his ways when it comes to political and legal work. After coming to Jinyin City, I have clearly felt that the public security work has been excellent, which is inseparable from your effort," Mr. Ji Yang returned the compliment.
Deng Guohai just laughed and said, "I’m just a person who worked his way up from the bottom, having seen a lot and simply doing my job diligently."
Lu Mingping asked, "The organization has sent us to the provincial capital, but what exactly is the situation?"
Both Mr. Ji Yang and Deng Guohai fell silent. Each had their sources of information; Mr. Ji Yang knew about the situation at the meeting from Zhou Yuan. In order to appease Mr. Ji Yang, Zhou Yuan had even offered him some comforting words.
Deng Guohai was actually unhappy as well. He had put in so much effort intending to climb higher, but now, based on the information he had received, Mr. Ji Yang hadn’t moved positions; instead, Lu Mingping had benefited, having been promoted from disciplinary secretary to deputy secretary, skipping ahead of Mr. Ji Yang. As for himself, although he had also moved up one spot in the ranking, such an advance held no real significance—something that made him extremely discontented.
Mr. Ji Yang chuckled and said, "We’ll know once we get to the province."
As for this matter, Mr. Ji Yang wasn’t truly concerned. He knew that as long as a person like Deng Guohai was around, there wouldn’t be a good environment. Now, what he most wanted to do was to take down Deng Guohai.
