Chapter 608 Qu Zhengping’s hint
After the phone rang a few times, a deep voice came.
"Hey."
"Governor Qu, it's me, Old Lin." Lin Gangjian revealed his identity with a smile.
The two of them were old acquaintances, so their tone was less polite and more intimate.
"Oh, it's Lao Lin. You don't call me often. Did Youde get into trouble with you?" Qu Zhengping hit the nail on the head.
Normally, the two of them would communicate during holidays to keep in touch, but suddenly there were no holidays, so Qu Zhengping could only think about this.
Lin Gangjian said: "I didn't get into trouble, but I did run into some trouble."
"What's the trouble? Just tell me straight out. There's no need for us to beat around the bush."
Lin Gangjian did not exaggerate and told the whole story truthfully.
He is about to retire, so there is no need for him to offend anyone. Besides, Qi Tongwei is so young, so even if he doesn't consider himself, he should consider his children.
But even if he was being realistic, the deputy governor was still a little annoyed, and his anger was hard to conceal through his words.
As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you must look at the owner. Although he is just a driver that he doesn't care much about, to outsiders, he seems to be his person.
He wanted to take it down casually without getting his approval, and let people who didn't know about it know about it, making them think that there was something wrong with him.
Qu Zhengping sighed half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Old Lin, look, the whole country is now developing industrial and commercial economies, and our agricultural economy is being taken less and less seriously, and our people are also not taken seriously.
An acting mayor, without even saying hello, wants to send my former driver to jail. He really doesn't give me any face at all."
Lin Gangjian smiled and said, "Governor Qu, you are joking. Whether it is industrial economy or commercial economy, without agricultural economy, it is just castles in the air.
Especially in Beishan, an old industrial city like ours, you are the one we rely on the most and are most grateful to. Without you, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have enough to eat."
Qu Zhengping said: "Lao Lin, it would be great if everyone could be as conscious as you. Nowadays, people only eat when they pick up a bowl, and curse when they put down the bowl. How can they remember the importance of us, the grain people?
Some young comrades, in particular, who, having achieved a little success, always think they are the best. But in fact, after going hungry for a few meals, they realize that only their stomachs are the biggest.
Lin Gangjian smiled and said, "Yes, Comrade Qi Tongwei is a little young and a little impulsive, but overall he is a good person.
He may not know that Youde is your driver, but don't worry, I will do my best to communicate with him and get this matter properly handled."
Qu Zhengping took over the conversation: "I know your new number one and number two. They are capable and have a good background. Don't even think about whether they don't know that Youde is my man. Even if they knew, as the deputy governor, I can't scare them.
I know this old subordinate of mine well. He's a bit stubborn and likes to stand up for his comrades. He was easily used as a pawn and became the first to stand out. It's really wrong for him to have gotten into this situation now."
Lin Gangjian asked tentatively: "What is your opinion?"
Qu Zhengping said without revealing any flaws: "My opinion is not important. What is important is the opinion of your Beishan Municipal Party Committee." Then he changed the subject and said: "If it is really a violation of the law and discipline, then it will be dealt with according to the law and regulations. I will not tolerate it!
But if someone is politically targeting or attempting to murder me, I will never let him go!"
Lin Gangjian said with a smile, "It's not that serious. I think the most they'll get is a warning. After all, it's a fact that Comrade Youde slammed the table at the meeting."
Qu Zhengping seemed dissatisfied with Lin Gangjian's words and said, "Then let the facts speak for themselves. You can make your decision based on the facts."
Without waiting for Lin Gangjian to respond, he said impatiently: "Okay, let's stop here. I won't comment on this matter too much, lest people think I'm putting pressure on your Beishan Municipal Party Committee. I have something else to do, so I won't say more, ah."
Lin Gangjian had no choice but to agree, "Okay, okay, Governor Naqu, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Lin Gangjian slowly put down the phone, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to make this call.
Maybe it wasn't a good thing for the two young secretaries, but at least it got him out of trouble, and he didn't want to offend these two people.
He was also unwilling to follow two young men and offend a young deputy governor.
Let them fight it out, and he can just watch from the sidelines.
But the fire hadn't started yet, and the water used to put it out had already come, but it was still disgusting tears.
After Qu Zhengping hung up the phone with Lin Gangjian, he immediately called Hu Youde and scolded him.
Hu Youde was stunned and awakened by the scolding. He finally realized the seriousness of the problem and begged Qu Zhengping to save him.
What could Qu Zhengping do? As he said, as the Vice Governor of Agriculture, he couldn't reach that far. At most, he could give He An some slack and Qi Tongwei a hint. Whether he would give him face or not was still a question.
Even if he doesn't give them face, he can't do anything to the two of them. He is not a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and cannot decide their promotion. The most he can do is to make things difficult for them.
"Tell me the truth, do you have any leverage that no one has on you?"
Hu Youde hurriedly said, "No, no, old leader, I have been working diligently since I came to Beishan City. Apart from exceeding the food standards a little, I have never accepted any money."
Qu Zhengping asked again: "Have you ever given money to others?"
Hu Youde smiled bitterly and said, "Old leader, with you as the true god, why would I need to worship other false Buddhas?"
Qu Zhengping thought about it and said, "If that's the case, then don't be afraid. I'll support you in everything.
Also, go find Lin Gangjian. He's a local tyrant, and he's got a lot of power in Beishan City. Ask him to do something about it. Otherwise, with your stupidity and my inability to reach you, you might actually get trapped by those two."
Hu Youde quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Just then, at eight o'clock in the evening, Hu Youde came to Lin Gangjian's No. 3 Little Red Building with gifts and wiped away his tears.
Lin Gangjian was a little worried. He had already made plans. Qu Zhengping had no clear opinion and was unwilling to do him a favor. So, at the secretary's meeting tomorrow, if he could protect him, he would. If he couldn't, he wouldn't get himself into trouble.
Hu Youde came over now, obviously under Qu Zhengping's instructions. Lin Gangjian was secretly annoyed. This deputy governor had a really good plan. He asked Hu Youde to come over, and he made great efforts in exchange for a small favor.
If you don't contribute, you will offend Qu Zhengping.
If you get yourself into trouble, the other party can get away with it completely. After all, they didn't say hello in person, so you have to guess everything.
Lin Gangjian glanced at Hu Youde with disdain and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, you're a grown man, what's the point of crying?"
Hu Youde quickly held back his tears and sobbed, "Secretary Lin... I... I have always... respected you... all these years. You... can't... not save me."
