Rebirth of Corrupt Officials

The elevator arrived, and Jiang Xiaochuan was about to go in with Qin Yu. Who expected that a voice suddenly shouted from behind: “Comrade Jiang Xiaochuan, please wait a moment.”

Qin Yu and Jiang Xiaochuan both turned around. After seeing the man, Qin Yu gave Jiang Xiaochuan a look that seemed like he was asking for blessings.

Jiang Xiaochuan had no choice but to turn around and walk back.

Mayor Fu Peng was the only one in the municipal government who liked to address others as “comrade.” It was said that this was because Fu Peng wanted to carry forward the fine traditions of the revolutionary Long March.

“Comrade,” this was conducive to the unity and development of the organization, carrying forward the fine traditions of the revolutionary ancestors, to build the Chengzhou Municipal Government into a united and friendly team, and giving the people their best services.

How much truth these words have? It was hard to tell whether it was true or false, but one thing for sure: Fu Peng did like to call others comrades.

“Mayor, what can I do for you?” Jiang Xiaochuan walked over, stood three steps in front of Fu Peng, and nodded to him.

In front of superiors, etiquette must be fulfilled. As the saying said, “Without etiquette, there is no politeness; with courtesy, there must be specific etiquette.”

This was especially true in formal occasions.

Fu Peng stretched out his hand. Jiang Xiaochuan was very knowledgeable. A handshake was also a form of etiquette. If others extended their hands, they would generally not refuse, unless the person really had a deep grudge against you.

There was a position gap between Fu Peng and Jiang Xiaochuan, and they were superiors and subordinates, so it was absolutely right for Fu Peng to reach out first.

After shaking hands, Fu Peng had a decent smile on his face and answered Jiang Xiaochuan’s casual greeting: “It’s just that there are a lot of things going on recently. As the mayor, I have to come down and see what the colleagues and comrades are doing. If you have any difficulty, just tell me, and I will find someone to solve it for you directly.”

In Jiang Xiaochuan’s eyes, Fu Peng had never been a light-saving lamp. Jiang Xiaochuan still clearly remembered the remarks he made at the previous work meeting. Fu Peng probably came to give him eye drops.

“Mayor, you have too many things to worry about. The things I have here are indeed very difficult, but you must be busy. You have given me some guidance at the meeting before. I understand your hard work. Chengzhou is up to us to create a harmonious environment.” Jiang Xiaochuan was not the kind of person who didn’t know how to talk big words. He could say whatever Fu Peng liked to hear.

In Fu Peng’s view, Jiang Xiaochuan was quite sensible, but he came down from his building to check on these people, so he couldn’t go in vain.

He still said: “People from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection have been here recently. You know Zhou Qian. There seems to be some problem there. I’m afraid his work has fallen behind a lot recently. We still have to recommend someone to take over his work. I know that Comrade Jiang Xiaochuan has always obeyed the organization’s decisions. Although our municipal government has a clear conscience, I am just afraid that those reporters will write nonsense. The Internet is now a mess, and anything can happen. So even if you rarely make mistakes in your work, I still remind you that we should pay attention to some things that can be suppressed recently. Just suppress it; it’s no big deal.”

The meaning of these words was really rich. It seemed that there was really no hope for Zhou Qian. He collapsed at the beginning, with almost no signs in advance. From what Fu Peng meant, Zhou Qian seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Weeks ago, Zhou Qian worked with Fu Peng and Qian Qiming to finalize the inbound investment project of Warwick Group. For this, my old comrade Wei Dong was wronged and even more offended Lin Shanyi. Now one of the three of them fell down.

He didn’t believe Fu Peng and the others didn’t feel something.

“The organization has good intentions. Chengzhou has always been one of the best among provincial capital cities. I believe there will be no problems with our Chengzhou municipal government. Don’t worry, Mayor.”

Everyone could tell lies. Whether it would come true depends on God.

So, it was time for Fu Peng to make a conclusion at this time, “That’s good, that’s good. Comrade Jiang Xiaochuan’s consciousness is very high. Then I won’t take up your off-duty time. Go back and rest early. There are still many things to do next. I’m busy with things. By the way, Secretary Qu said that he hasn’t seen his protégé in a long time and wants you to go see him.”

Jiang Xiaochuan was already ready to leave, but when he heard the words “Secretary Qu,” he had some bad premonitions in his heart, but he suppressed them forcefully.

He smiled and said: “I have been so troubled recently that I forgot about this matter. I will definitely visit him another day.”

“Haha, isn’t that great? Goodbye, Comrade Jiang Xiaochuan.” Fu Peng laughed. It seemed that what happened weeks ago really didn’t have a great impact on him…

Jiang Xiaochuan said goodbye to Fu Peng and got into the elevator.

.

But as soon as he came in, his face couldn’t help but darken, and he pressed his eyebrows hard. He took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions that were surging in his heart, but he was still sneering in his heart.

Fu Peng was hinting to him that he, Jiang Xiaochuan, would take over the lucrative work Zhou Qian had done. As long as Jiang Xiaochuan was smart and could understand the importance of that matter and make the appropriate choice, everything would be settled.

When he got out of the elevator, his expression was very calm. For the first time, he let the official car take him back. He got off the car in front of the municipal gate.

He swiped his card to verify his identity and entered. He walked forward, took out his phone, which was vibrating in his jacket pocket. He opened it. He saw on his phone that it was a call from Lian Cheng, and it must have been about what happened a week ago.

“Mayor Jiang, I have reported the matter to the superiors. The situation is somewhat special, and the specific results have not been released yet, so——”
