Chapter 98: Super Revenge (1)

  Jiang Zhengyuan's forehead immediately appeared with a few black lines, he had nothing to say to Liu Fei anymore. As for how Liu Fei escaped, it was no longer the point now: "How is Xue Lingyun?"

  "She's doing well, and is with Director Xue now."

  "Is there anyone else in the elevator?"

  "Just us two!"

  "Alright, let's go, follow me." Jiang Zhengyuan led Liu Fei to the media area. At this time, the media area had already erupted into a frenzy. Someone had recognized that the person talking to Jiang Zhengyuan was none other than Liu Fei, the main protagonist of the incident. Seeing that he was actually still alive, all eyes immediately focused on him, with flashes and camera shutters clicking away in unison.

  "Ladies and gentlemen of the media, thank you for your support and understanding of our work. As you have all seen, although an elevator accident occurred, the people inside the elevator have been safely rescued. Another girl, Xue Lingyun, is also safe and sound, and is currently with her father. Regarding this incident, we will definitely investigate the cause of the accident and punish those responsible to prevent such incidents from happening again. Thank you."

  After finishing speaking, Jiang Zhengyuan took Liu Fei out of the hall and got into the car. Jiang Zhengyuan first called Provincial Party Secretary Xu Guangchun to report on the situation at the scene and the news that Liu Fei was safe and sound. Xu Guangchun was very happy and affirmed Jiang Zhengyuan's work, and also encouraged Liu Fei with a few words.

  In the car, Liu Fei recounted the events that had occurred to Jiang Zhengyuan, who also listened with great anxiety.

  At this time, in the provincial government compound.

  Ma Ao and Provincial Governor Cui Yusheng sat facing each other when a secretary came over to inform them of the situation at the scene of the accident.

  Ma Ao Wen had already learned of Liu Fei's safety, and a hint of loss flashed across his originally radiant face.

  "This little brat's life is so big, he even survived a fall from an elevator!" He said with a huff.

  "Alright, Old Ma, you can just focus on him, he's just a small pawn after all. In about half a year, I'll be retiring, so you need to seize the time and make some achievements in governance. Although for now, you're temporarily ahead of Jiang Zhengyuan in the competition, things are not entirely within your grasp, who knows if suddenly someone from the central government will emerge as a competitor? Now what you need to do is to try your best to make achievements. Jiang Zhengyuan's weakness lies precisely in his economic ability being inferior to yours." Governor Cui Yusheng reminded him.

  Ma Ao nodded and said, "Director Cui, don't worry, I have an absolute advantage over Jiang Zhengyuan in terms of economic development. It seems that Xue Renguang and the others are hopeless. However, I've already communicated with that Japanese company, and they'll be sending a delegation to discuss cooperation matters soon. This time, I'm going to thoroughly crush Jiang Zhengyuan in terms of economic indicators."

  "Liu Fei, how's the draft coming along? The economic seminar is in a few days and I'm still waiting for your article to be presented at the meeting?" Jiang Zhengyuan said with a smile as he looked at Liu Fei inside the car.

  Liu Fei's forehead immediately broke out in sweat. He was anxious. He hadn't prepared anything for the manuscript, but the economic seminar had already begun.

  Seeing Liu Fei's anxious look, Jiang Zhengyuan smiled, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. However, this gaze was fleeting, replaced by a serious tone: "Liu Fei, I'm giving you two days to prepare. By tomorrow afternoon before work ends, you must hand over the manuscript to me."

  The next day, Liu Fei went to work at the provincial government.

  Arriving at the office, Liu Fei first tidied up the provincial governor's office and the outer office, organized the documents that the governor needed to see, and brewed a strong tea for the governor before returning to his own desk. Just as he sat down, Jiang Zhengyuan appeared at the door with a briefcase, beaming with a smile: "Hey, our great secretary has finally returned to report for duty, it's not easy!"

  Liu Fei's face showed a hint of embarrassment: "Governor, I've troubled you again." As he spoke, he took the briefcase from Jiang Zhengyuan's hand and followed him into the inner room.

  "Sit down!" Jiang Zhengyuan sat in his office chair, habitually opening the teacup, and a refreshing aroma wafted up.

  "What's this tea? How come it smells so good?" Jiang Zhengyuan asked in surprise.

  Liu Fei explained: "This was sent by Xue from Xin Yuan Group last night, saying that I should bring it to you to try."

  "Ah, this tea is indeed good tea, it's a top-grade Tieguanyin specially supplied to Zhongnanhai, with a rich and mellow flavor, refreshing and pleasant. I didn't expect that Director Xue also has this hobby."

  Liu Fei didn't say anything.

  Jiang Zhengyuan continued: "Liu Fei, you have been wronged these days. From now on, you must be cautious and prudent, and cannot be so reckless."

  Liu Fei nodded repeatedly in agreement. To be honest, as soon as Jiang Zhengyuan sat down, a strong aura of official authority would emanate from him, and if it weren't for Liu Fei's fearless nature, anyone else sitting there would have been intimidated by Jiang's authoritative presence. Nevertheless, despite this, Liu Fei was deeply moved by Jiang's words, which conveyed two layers of meaning: firstly, that Governor Jiang knew he had been suffering lately, and secondly, that he should be more stable in the future and not always stir up trouble.

  "The Standing Committee meeting is about to be held, you come with me too! Today's meeting can be considered as a little compensation for your suffering!" Jiang Zhengyuan continued.

  It wasn't until Liu Fei entered the conference room that he suddenly realized today's meeting, in addition to the 13 provincial standing committee members, also included various leaders' secretaries. Liu Fei sat in the back row and his gaze swept across each of the committee members' faces, discovering that most of them had solemn expressions. Liu Fei couldn't help but think to himself: "What kind of meeting is being held today? Why do all these people look like this?"

  The meeting was presided over by Provincial Party Secretary Xu Guangchun. He said straightforwardly, "Everyone, today there are several agenda items that need to be discussed at the meeting, but before discussing these agenda items, I will first read out a notice from the Ministry of Public Security." After he finished reading the notice, the whole room fell silent, and everyone understood that this notice was clearly aimed at the Henan Provincial Public Security Department, and it was a criticism notice issued by the Ministry of Public Security to the Henan Provincial Public Security Department. The main point of the notice was that the Henan Provincial Public Security Department had not done a good job in building the public security team, resulting in a large number of wrongful cases. In this notice, a group of actual cases were announced, including the case of Liu Fei being subjected to torture and forced confession!

  After reading out the report, Xu Guangchun said: "The announcement has been read. Now I have a proposal from the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department for personnel adjustments in the Public Security Bureau. Let's vote on it." Soon, Xu Guangchun's secretary handed the proposal to each of the leaders present at the meeting.

  For a moment, the atmosphere at the Standing Committee meeting was somewhat oppressive.

  Everyone knows that Xu Guangchun's announcement of the public security department's criticism and nomination documents together represents the provincial party committee's inevitable attitude towards this personnel adjustment.

  Ma Ao looked at the list in his hand, feeling very uncomfortable. The original Public Security Bureau Director Zhao Yong was promoted by him, but now Xu Guangchun wanted to remove him from office. The purpose was very clear: this was Jiang Zhengyuan taking revenge, Xu Guangchun taking revenge, their faction taking revenge. However, he never thought that the other side's revenge would be so fierce and violent. He also didn't expect that the Organization Department would openly stand on Xu Guangchun's side this time, although one of the two candidates for the new Director was from the Governor's faction. But he knew that since the other side dared to propose this motion, they must have made thorough preparations. This was always Xu Guangchun's way of doing things.

  His gaze swept over the usual routine, now it seems that among the 13 provincial committee members, Xu Guangchun has a relatively firm grasp of 6 votes. Xu Guangchun himself has one vote, Jiang Zhengyuan has one vote, Provincial Committee Deputy Secretary Zhang Hua has one vote, Tangshi City Party Secretary has one vote, Organization Department Head Hou Guoqiang has one vote, and United Front Work Department Head Gai Guoqiang has one vote! On his side, there are also 5 votes: Provincial Governor Cui Yusheng has one vote, he himself has one vote, Propaganda Department Head Bao Wenhui has one vote, Political and Legal Committee Secretary Che Yong has one vote, and Nanping City Party Secretary Huang Xiangguo has one vote. So now Xu Guangchun is most worried about the vote of Military Region Commander Xie Yuming! Generally speaking, the secretary-general's vote is neutral. His gaze lingered on Xie Yuming's face for a moment, Xie Yuming happened to raise his head and exchanged a glance with Ma Ao, smiling faintly without saying a word. However, that smile hid an inexplicable glint in his eyes. This look made Ma Ao even more uneasy. Since Xu Guangchun came to Hebei Province more than three years ago, the two factions have been evenly matched, but today, Ma Ao no longer had the same confidence as before.

  The voting has begun.
