394: Chapter 394 Dongjiang Municipal Party Committee Secretary

Qin Chuan stayed in Dongzhou City for a few days.

After seeing with his own eyes that Secretary Li Haibo was taken away for investigation and that many people in Dongzhou City's entire political and legal system were under investigation, and having listened to the special report of Dongzhou City, he felt satisfied in his heart before returning to the capital.

Public opinion on the internet regarding Sun Tingting gradually subsided because she received the punishment she deserved; instead, many reports about Secretary Li Haibo appeared.

Many of his dark secrets, corruption situations, and so on were all reported on the internet, which put the main leaders of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee in a very passive position, forcing them to report to the Provincial Party Committee multiple times.

After returning to the capital, life gradually returned to calm.

Time quickly reached July 2016; schools were on vacation, entering the summer break, and the whole country also entered the peak tourist season.

Qin Chuan and Zhu Qingxi had discussed whether they should also go on a trip for a few days, just a free tour, walking wherever they pleased.

As for their son and daughter, they were already one year and three months old, could walk by themselves, and had completely weaned off breast milk; there were professional nannies, so they didn't need to take care of them personally.

But thinking about it being the peak tourist season, with crowds of people everywhere, they finally backed down and just stayed at home, enjoying the air conditioning, watching TV, and scrolling on their phones—how nice that was.

Moreover, the capital was not bad either. If they were bored, they could go shopping or go out to enjoy various delicacies. It was clear that after entering July, the number of people coming to the capital to travel increased significantly; the streets were full of tourists, and other scenic spots were probably crowded as well.

July 3, 2016, Sunday.

Qin Chuan was enjoying the weekend. Yesterday, he and his wife went out for a stroll, the kind of hand-in-hand shopping. This morning, he originally wanted to go to a shopping center, but before he left, he received an early morning call from his mother, Luo Rong.

"Son, you are resting today, right?"

"Yes, I am resting both yesterday and today."

Luo Rong said, "Come over for dinner at noon today. Your father rarely has time, and our family hasn't eaten together for a while. Bring both of my grandsons over. Your father and I are missing our grandsons a little."

Qin Chuan said, "Okay, no problem, we will come over a little earlier."

Originally, lunch was at 12 o'clock or around 12:30, but Qin Chuan and Zhu Qingxi, taking their son and daughter, arrived at his parents' house at about 10 o'clock.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law bringing their two grandsons over, Luo Rong seemed happier than ever, holding one in each hand, very happy.

By noon, Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong returned.

The family sat down to eat in harmony. Because there were no outsiders, Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong directly asked about Qin Chuan's work.

"Son, you have been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Bureau for more than a year, right?"

Qin Chuan replied, "Dad, I started working at the Criminal Investigation Bureau on June 3rd last year, exactly one year and one month."

Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong nodded approvingly, "One year and one month, the time is not long, but the achievements you have made are remarkable. Others working in the Criminal Investigation Bureau for three years, or even five years, do not have achievements as dazzling as yours."

Qin Chuan's achievements were seen by everyone.

The entire Ministry of Public Security recognized it very much. No one looked down on Qin Chuan because he was young; on the contrary, many people respected Qin Chuan very much.

He had personally received three first-class merits, and had led or participated in solving dozens of cold cases. Many people could not do this in their whole lives, but Qin Chuan completed it within a year.

Qin Chuan said, "Working at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for more than a year, and working at the Criminal Investigation Bureau for more than a year, my qualifications in the deputy department-level position are enough. My grandfather's and my meaning is that although the qualifications and achievements are enough, although the age is a little small, it is still possible to go to the local area to govern one side."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan's heart thumped.

It was about his own official career, and it looked like he was going to be promoted by one level, to work in a prefecture-level city as a Municipal Party Secretary or as a mayor. How could he not be excited, but there was no expression on his face.

"Dad, I will listen to all your arrangements." Qin Chuan said, "To be honest, I also want to go to the local area to train again."

Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong said, "Now transportation and information are developed, and it is convenient to meet. You can even pick up Zhu Qingxi and go there. The couple can live together to avoid living in different places."

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Dad, you want to see your grandsons, what should I do?"

Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong laughed, "It's very simple. Leave the two grandsons in the capital, your mother will take care of them. If you miss them, you can return to the capital, or send them over to stay with you for a period of time."

Anyway, this problem is easy to solve, it is not a problem at all.

Zhu Qingxi felt happy for Qin Chuan in her heart. Her husband was thirty-one years old and would govern one side, at least as the mayor of a prefecture-level city.

...

Jiangnan Province, Villa No. 1.

Today is Sunday. In the afternoon, Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng was in the study, spreading out rice paper, picking up a brush, and was practicing calligraphy.

He didn't have many hobbies, and practicing calligraphy was one of them, feeling that it could cultivate his character.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

A gentle knock on the door sounded outside. Hearing the strength and rhythm of the knock, he knew it was his secretary.

"Come in!"

Allowed, Secretary Liang Jincheng gently pushed the door in and reported, "Leader, Secretary Wu Qiaoxi of the Dongjiang Municipal Party Committee is here and wants to see you."

Ordinary people dare not come to Villa No. 1 to ask for a meeting, and even less dare to disturb the rare weekend rest time of the Provincial Party Secretary, but Secretary Wu Qiaoxi of the Dongjiang Municipal Party Committee was an exception.

There are three great iron relationships in life, and having carried a gun together is one of them.

The two were life-and-death brothers in the same class, and Secretary Wu Qiaoxi even saved Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng once. After retiring from the military, both of them entered the official career, often kept in touch, and the relationship has always been very good.

Last year, Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng was transferred to Jiangnan Province to work as Provincial Party Secretary, and the contact between the two became more frequent. It was common for Secretary Wu Qiaoxi to appear in Villa No. 1.

Today, Secretary Wu Qiaoxi came again.

Without thinking, Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng knew the purpose of his coming. He smiled slightly, put down the brush in his hand, wiped his hands, and walked out of the study.

In the living room, Secretary Wu Qiaoxi saw Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng and quickly stood up.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Secretary Wu Qiaoxi got to the point, "Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng, our Dongjiang Municipal Party Committee has held a Standing Committee meeting again, unanimously recommending Mayor Liu to succeed my position. Please ask the Provincial Party Committee to seriously consider our collective opinion."

If it were another Municipal Party Secretary, how would they dare to do this when meeting the Provincial Party Secretary? Isn't this forcing the palace, forcing the Provincial Party Committee to consider the candidate for the Municipal Party Secretary?

Secretary Wu Qiaoxi dared to, and Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng was not angry, just smiled and asked, "Are you really not considering coming to work at the Provincial People's Congress?"

"I won't come to the provincial level, I will stay in Dongjiang City. I want to watch the development of Dongjiang City. Here, I have spent my whole life's efforts. Even if I die in the future, I want to be buried in Dongjiang City."

He is not from Dongjiang City, but he has deep feelings for Dongjiang City.

Secretary Wu Qiaoxi has worked in Dongjiang City for more than twenty years, from deputy mayor, mayor, all the way to Municipal Party Secretary.

Dongjiang City also jumped from the 13th place in Jiangnan Province to the 5th place in the province in terms of total economic volume. Here, he poured his life's efforts and had long trained his successor, that is, the current Mayor Liu.
