Chapter 47 A Slave of Three Surnames
The room immediately tensed up when Minister Xiao said that.
Dawei knew Zheng Zhiguo.
When County Chief Qiao first arrived, I got close to him and showed great loyalty and reliability.
Later, David discovered that, in fact, he and Zhou Xiangzhang were very close behind the scenes.
Around the time County Chief Qiao got into trouble, several bizarre cases occurred, all targeting County Chief Qiao's family, but Zheng Zhiguo chose to turn a blind eye.
At the time, Dawei didn't know that Zheng Zhiguo was originally Xiao Zhikai's man, which meant he was Xu Aiguo's man.
Presumably, when County Chief Qiao came, Xiao Zhikai had a similar conversation with Zheng Zhiguo.
However, Zheng Zhiguo did not keep his promise.
A hint of nervousness flashed across Zheng Zhiguo's face, then he nodded repeatedly and said, "Minister, rest assured, Zhiguo will do his utmost to assist County Magistrate Chen."
Xiao Zhikai snorted, took a file folder out of his bag, and placed it next to Dawei.
"This material was personally handed to Minister Xu by Secretary Zeng of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."
Minister Xu handed it over to me, and now I'm handing it over to County Chief Chen.
Inside are the things you've done over the past two years.
Whether to open this document or follow the proper procedures—this decision was left to me by my supervisor.
You said yourself that you are one of my people, and I don't know if you're telling the truth or not, but I take it seriously.
Since you are one of my people, I cannot open this file.
I intend to leave this decision to County Chief Chen.
David placed his hand on the document bag, feeling its thickness.
This guy has so many materials.
It seems the comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have done a lot of work.
The thickness of this document reflects the importance that the higher-ups attach to Dawei.
Dawei felt secretly grateful. His godfather and Minister Xu were both men of their word and were truly supporting him.
At this moment, Zheng Zhiguo's face turned deathly pale.
Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?
Secretary Zeng?
So my affairs had been under surveillance all along?
who is it!
Who reported me!
His heart was pounding with anxiety, but he didn't have time to think about anything else; all he wanted was to save his life.
"Minister, you can't do this to me..." Zheng Zhiguo said with a mournful face, "Sir, you raised me up from the bottom, you can't just watch me get into trouble, sir."
The once prominent figures of Yuanshan County had by then lost all their dignity.
boom!
Xiao Zhikai slammed his hand on the table, startling Dawei and Zheng Zhiguo.
David had met Xiao Zhikai a few times at meetings before and remembered him as a very cultured and easy-going person. He had never seen him so angry before.
"Zheng Zhiguo!" Minister Xiao shouted sternly, "Don't try to take any more chances."
Reflect on your problems thoroughly and do everything in your power to help County Chief Chen; this is your only way out.
Don't say things like "You're one of my people" or "I promoted you" anymore.
Don't embarrass me anymore!
Zheng Zhiguo lowered his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead from time to time.
"I admit my mistake. I'm sorry to County Chief Qiao, to you, and to County Chief Chen... Please give me another chance, leaders and County Chief Chen."
Whether or not you get another chance depends on County Chief Chen's decision.
This is tantamount to handing over the power of life and death of Zheng Zhiguo to Dawei.
His future and fate depend entirely on Dawei's decision.
Zheng Zhiguo looked at Chen Dawei with a pitiful expression, feeling guilty and a little scared.
Dawei knew that he had to firmly control Zheng Zhiguo at this moment in order to repay Xiao Zhikai and the others for their hard work.
He held the file folder in his hands, looked it over from all angles, and spoke in a very low voice.
"It seems Director Zheng has made quite a bit of money."
This material probably weighs about two pounds.
Paper may be light, but it can crush a person.
I'll keep these things for now. Whether I need to take them out later depends on your performance, Director Zheng.
I only give you one chance.
Minister Xiao is here too. He will testify that if you behave well in the future, the past will be put behind you.
If you continue to play both sides with me, I'll send you to jail.
I hope you can see the situation clearly.
I'm not some weak scholar; I've fought my way up through firepower.
Zheng Zhiguo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."
Xiao Zhikai waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go now. Dawei and I still have some things to talk about."
Zheng Zhiguo bowed and withdrew.
"Minister Xiao, I don't know what to say. Thank you so much for your support of my work."
"Don't you want to see what's in here?" Xiao Zhikai said with a playful smile.
David reached out to open the file folder, then tied the string back on: "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a bunch of scrap paper in here."
"Hahaha!" Xiao Zhikai laughed heartily, and his gaze towards Dawei changed: "No wonder Minister Xu admires you so much, you are indeed extraordinary."
Later, Xiao Zhikai began to have a heart-to-heart talk with Dawei, analyzing each member of the Yuanshan County Standing Committee one by one.
It was already dark.
Wu Maocai sent him a message saying that the office had been cleaned up and asked Dawei to take a look and inspect it so that Wu Maocai could make timely adjustments if there were any problems.
David drove back to the county government building.
Wu Maocai was already waiting downstairs at the building.
David didn't get out of the car; he came over and opened the door.
"Welcome, County Chief Chen."
There were too many people in the afternoon, and I wasn't high enough in rank to be there.
This is great, now I'm the only one picking you up, no one's going to fight me for it, hehehehe.
Wu Maocai smiled naturally.
Dawei nodded to him, his face serious: "Director Wu, you're too kind."
"Please call me Maocai. Come on, County Magistrate Chen, I'll take you to your office."
Wu Maocai respectfully spread his arms, inviting him to walk forward.
Upstairs in the county party secretary's office, Zhou Xiangzhang and Li Taoying were still there, watching everything unfold clearly.
Li Taoying, holding a cup of coffee in one hand, said slowly and deliberately, "The two great talents of Yuanshan County have joined forces, and it seems that Yuanshan County is about to undergo a great transformation."
Mayor Chen's insight is truly admirable.
Not long ago, I mentioned that a powerful figure might emerge in our county.
Secretary, look at Chen Dawei, isn't he quite capable?
On his first day in office, he won over Wu Maocai, though no one knows what methods he used.
Zhou Xiangzhang, who was standing to the side, snorted heavily.
"He's nothing but a traitor who has served three masters."
A complete scoundrel.
I should have removed Wu Maocai from the position back then.
Wu Maocai led Dawei to Qiao Yong's former office.
David came in and took a look.
This place has changed dramatically.
All the office furniture and computers used by County Chief Qiao have been replaced with new ones.
"I remember when County Chief Qiao came, weren't the office supplies and furniture newly purchased? How come...?"
"A county magistrate's term determines the climate; let bygones be bygones."
"That's extravagant."
Wu Maocai patted his chest: "I'll take responsibility. I'll take responsibility if anyone brings this up. The computer password is three 6s. You can change it later. The system was just installed. You can try it and see if it works. If it doesn't work, I'll change it again."
Dawei sat at his desk without turning on his computer. Wu Maocai would definitely handle this small matter well.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Director Wu."
"Isn't this all I should do? You're busy, just call me anytime if you need anything."
Wu Maocai withdrew.
Just then, Chen Shouren called: "Dawei, your Uncle Lin is gone."
"What the heck?"
Lin Lao Er's father has passed away?
David was so startled that he sat up in his chair.
