Chapter 18 He came from the capital city's fifth district

  "Scar, don't worry about it, this kid's already like this, what else can he possibly come up with?"

  Li San waved the electric baton in his hand, sneered and pushed his thumb forward. With a crackling sound, a blue spark flashed by, "Besides, with this thing, is he still afraid that this kid will run away?"

  "Li San, be careful, don't electrocute the guy, if this kid gets knocked out, our performance won't be impressive, Manager Guan wants to see something better than that."

  The monkey frowned and snorted heavily from its nose.

  "Don't worry, monkey, I know what I'm doing."

  Li San smiled and revealed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, with a piece of green vegetable leaves still stuck on his large and deformed front teeth.

  "Alright, stop nagging, let's get to work. Guan Zong is still waiting for this. Who knows, maybe that beauty will jump into his arms after a scare."

  The monkey grinned and pressed the record button on the camera.

  Qixi County Party Committee Compound, Office of the Secretary of the County Party Committee.

  County Party Secretary Jiang Weifeng was crouched in front of his office desk handling official business, with a cigarette pinched between the fingers of his left hand pressed against the top left corner of the document, and his right hand holding a pen dancing lightly over the paper. A line of beautiful calligraphy appeared at the end of the document: "Regarding the future of the party organization, please have the Organization Department carefully re-examine the selection of cadres for the Youth Cadre Class. Signed, Jiang Weifeng."

  This is a list submitted by the county party committee organization department, the list of participants in the Qixi County Party Committee Young Cadres Training Class. There are many problems with this list. Guan Jian is getting more and more outrageous lately, does he really think that just because he's about to retire, he can do whatever he wants?

  Jiang Weifeng stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, took a puff, threw down the pen in his hand, picked up the water cup and took a sip. The phone on the office desk suddenly rang, he put down the water cup, grabbed the phone, and before he could speak, a hurried voice came from the receiver.

  "Hello, is this Comrade Jiang Weifeng from Qixi County Committee? I'm Old Yu from the Provincial Committee Office."

  The voice in the receiver became slow and gentle.

  "Director Yu, hello, I'm Jiang Weifeng from Qixi County Committee. What instructions does the leader have?"

  Jiang Weifeng subconsciously stood up from his chair, a hint of respect on his face. He couldn't help but be respectful because the caller was Yu Min, Deputy Director of the Provincial Party Committee Office and Secretary to Provincial Vice-Secretary Guo Haifeng.

  "Xiao Jiang, it's like this, today the Provincial Committee received a phone call from Chairman Xu Haoyang..."

  On the other end of the phone, Yu Min clearly and concisely conveyed General Xu's meaning, and finally his voice gradually became serious. "Comrade Jiang Weifeng, this is an important task assigned to you by the Provincial Committee. You must complete it well and handle it properly, and you must satisfy Chairman Xu."

  "Director Yu, please rest assured, I guarantee to the organization that I will complete the task." Jiang Weifeng patted his chest with force, but completely forgot that Yu Minyuan was in Baisha, the provincial capital, hundreds of kilometers away from Qixi.

  "Alright, Little Jiang, this task is now assigned to you. I believe you will definitely complete it well. That's all, goodbye!"

  "Director Yu, I will definitely complete the task well."

  Jiang Weifeng loudly answered into the phone, although there was only a hurried dial tone on the other end, he still replied very seriously, as if Yu Min were standing right in front of him.

  He hung up the phone, Jiang Weifeng suppressed his excitement, trembling as he lit a cigarette and took a puff. This was an extremely rare opportunity, with this matter, he could use the pretext of making a detailed report to visit Yu Min, after some socializing, he would have a backer in the provincial party committee.

  On the premise that he must handle this matter well, Jiang Weifeng leisurely puffed out a smoke ring and leaned back in his chair. Before General Xu retired, he was the vice chairman of the Military Commission, a big shot who could shake the military world with just a stomp of his foot, but General Xu had always been very low-key.

  Moreover, General Xu's son, Xu Zhengchun, is the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, which has the nickname "Little State Council". Xu Zhengchun is only 47 years old this year, and he is in his prime.

  If I handle this matter properly, I might even get to meet Director Xu from the capital again. This will definitely be beneficial for my future career and won't have any drawbacks. Of course, the key is to handle this matter well.

  However, it's not clear whether General Xu really wants to proactively demolish the ancestral cemetery of the Xu family or is just pretending to do so in order to avoid being attacked by political enemies. This point must be grasped clearly, otherwise, good intentions may lead to bad consequences.

  General Xu's grandson came to Qi Creek's old home to offer sacrifices, and his parents didn't even know about it. This is indeed a bit derelict of duty. Jiang Weifeng extinguished the cigarette, feeling remorseful in his heart, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Suddenly, a bright light flashed through his mind - Ah, isn't General Xu's grandson here? Why not just ask him directly to get some news?

  Thinking of this, Jiang Weifeng immediately picked up the phone on his office desk and dialed Huang Lian's mobile phone, the party secretary of Guanyin Town. The call was quickly answered, and a respectful voice came from the receiver, "Secretary, hello."

  "Lao Huang, you're not doing a good job as the town secretary." Jiang Weifeng sighed, "General Xu's grandson returned to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors, and you, as the secretary, didn't even know about it. How do you do your work?"

  "Ah, no way, Secretary! What's going on? When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"

  A vexed voice came from the other end of the phone, "This old thing, such a big thing and he didn't even report to me, see how I'll deal with him. Secretary, I'll call Longtou Village Committee right now to ask about the situation."

  "Alright, you hurry up and get busy then, call me on my cell phone if there's any news."

  Jiang Weifeng hung up the phone and looked down at the phone number on the white paper, which was the phone number of General Xu's grandson provided by Yu Min, the deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee. However, Jiang Weifeng did not plan to disturb this young master from Beijing too early, it would be too presumptuous.

  Appearing directly in front of the prince, it naturally shows more sincerity. Moreover, facing the prince to ask about the true intentions of the old Xu family is easier to judge through the prince's expression, language, and actions whether General Xu really wants to demolish the old Xu family cemetery.

  "Secretary, I'll make a call right away and report back to you as soon as there's any news."

  "Go ahead, we're waiting for your good news."

  Jiang Weifeng hung up the phone, lit a cigarette and took a puff. Before he could finish the cigarette, his mobile phone suddenly rang loudly. He picked it up and looked at it for a moment before answering, "Hello, Secretary Mei, what's up? Got some good news to share with your brother?"

  "Director Jiang, I have another favor to ask of you."

  A faint laugh came from the receiver, "My daughter accompanied her friend to Qi Creek for ancestor worship, unexpectedly got caught by Officer Guan at Wangjiang Building while having dinner. By the way, my daughter's friend is named Xu Yi, who came from Beijing, so I owe him one, get the people out first."

  "Secretary Mei, I'll take care of it right away."

  Jiang Weifeng furrowed his brow, Guan Jian's precious son had been acting tyrannically in Qixi County for some time, to the point where it was said that heaven and earth were angry and people were resentful. Unexpectedly, this time he even went so far as to bully Mei Keshan, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, and even detained Mei's daughter's friend at the police station.

  Although Mei Kaisan is a deputy secretary-general with a lower ranking in the municipal government, he is still a leader of the municipal government. His daughter and friends came to Qi Creek to pay their respects to their ancestors, but were actually taken away by someone to the police station. Although it was done by the precious son of the Public Security Bureau, County Party Secretary Jiang Weifeng also bears responsibility for this.

  Wait a minute, this matter seems to have a strange smell. Jiang Weifeng's eyebrows furrowed as he carefully recalled Mei Kaisan's words just now. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Just now, Mei Kaisan said that his daughter's friend was named Xu Yi and came from the capital city. How could it be such a coincidence? Could this Xu Yi be the grandson of General Xu?

  If General Xu's grandson was taken away by the police station, this joke would be big.

  Thinking of this, Jiang Weifeng grabbed the phone and quickly dialed a string of numbers. As soon as the call connected, he immediately hung up and called Mei Kaisan's cell phone. "Secretary General, is your daughter's friend from Beijing coming to Longtou Village in Guanyin Town to pay respects to their ancestors?"

  "Not bad, it's going to Longtou Village for ancestor worship. Ah, Secretary Jiang, didn't I just say that his name is Xu Yi, a word of promise is worth nine tripod cauldrons..."

  It's all over, it's all over. Jiang Weifeng was struck by lightning, and he only felt a blackness in front of his eyes. He didn't hear a word of what Mei Kaishan said next on the phone. His feet stumbled, and he sat down heavily in the chair, his arm knocking over the teacup, which fell to the ground with a loud crash. The beautiful glass cup was shattered into pieces.

  "What's wrong, boss? What's wrong?"

  The secretary heard a noise in the room, immediately pushed open the door and walked in, saw the scene in front of him and was frightened, but saw Jiang Weifeng waving his hand to let him out, quickly retreated and closed the door.

  "Secretary Mei, Brother Mei, this time you must save me."

  Jiang Weifeng suddenly came to his senses and said urgently into the phone, "Your daughter is a good friend of Prince Charming, this time you must help your brother out no matter what."

  "I don't know if we can communicate effectively either, let's just try anyway."

  A low voice came from the receiver, "However, Secretary Jiang, the top priority is that you must hurry to the police station and pick up the young master. If you go late, it will be even more difficult to deal with if something else happens."

  "How to deal with this matter, the attitude of the prince is very crucial, don't need me to remind you what to do, and, the prince was caught, this thing will definitely not be covered up, anyway, the public security in Qixi County has never been good, and there are still flaws in the work of the Political and Legal Committee."

  "Crisis, crisis, opportunities are hidden in danger. If handled well, it's actually a good thing for you. Alright, I won't say anymore, I'll just call my daughter at home."

  "Mei Ge, thank you, I owe you one. Great kindness doesn't need to be thanked, I'll go save the situation first and treat you to a drink in town another day."

  Jiang Weifeng hung up the phone, his face sank, he certainly understood Mei Kaisan's intention, this was indeed a great opportunity to severely hit Guan Jianyi's faction, but, after all, he had to let the gentleman from Beijing vent his anger.
