Chapter 18 Up and Down the Ladder

The local language of Guangdong is the closest to ancient Chinese among the seven dialects. It preserves a large number of ancient Chinese sentence patterns and ancient pronunciations. Compared with the light and tasteless Mandarin, Cantonese seems to be catchy and has endless charm.

Despite having the foundation of learning a foreign language and the one-on-one tutoring of the beautiful host, Wang Siyu still felt a little difficult. Many seemingly simple sentences, once they were said, changed completely. They often make mistakes inexplicably, causing the three girls to burst into laughter.

After dinner, Lu Yuting drove Chen Nannan away in the car. Wang Siyu sat by the sofa, drank tea, and then started to review it with Bai Yanni's prompt, and memorized more than a dozen commonly used conversations.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, just as he was about to get up to go to the bathroom, the ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at the number and saw that it was called by the old man Zhou Songlin. He hurriedly answered it and said with a smile: "Hey, Nihou, have you eaten your left food?"

Zhou Songlin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said angrily: "You guy, I thought you had called the wrong phone number and became the secretary of the municipal party committee. I still didn't do it right, and I'm not afraid of people laughing at me."

Wang Siyu smiled, picked up the cup, blew, and said softly: "Old man, I have planned it and I need to put in some effort to reach the level 4 of Cantonese language within half a year. This is also a work requirement."

"It's not difficult!" Zhou Songlin nodded, touched the handrail of the sofa with his hand, and whispered: "Xiaoyu, Secretary Zhang of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Committee came to visit his home just now. After dinner, he just left. He seemed to be particularly concerned about the situation in Binhai."

Wang Siyu smiled faintly, put down the teacup, stood up, walked to the window, and smiled and said, "Old man, this Secretary Zhang is very powerful. He knows the relationship between us and can actually go to your side to do work. Did he mention Mao Shouyi?"

Zhou Songlin took off his reading glasses and said with a smile: "I mentioned that Mao Shouyi is the child of his old classmate. Zhang Huarong likes him very much and gives him high hopes. I hope you can take appropriate care of him while adhering to the principles."

Wang Siyu frowned and whispered: "It's not easy to take care of. Mao Shouyi may have problems. I was preparing to hold a meeting to study and let him lean aside. I guess Mao Shouyi got the news in advance, so he brought out the reinforcements to try to influence my decision."

Zhou Songlin was slightly stunned and frowned and said, "Xiaoyu, Binhai seems to be fighting against the gang these days. It's not good for Yi Shuai to be on the way. Could it be that Mao Shouyi doesn't cooperate with your work?"

"Three distributions are combined, seven points are not cooperated." Wang Siyu smiled, took a sip of tea, and said meaningfully: "Old man, whether he, the head of the public security bureau, is black or white, and it also needs factual verification."

Zhou Songlin lit a cigarette, frowned and took a few sips, and said softly: "Xiaoyu, you still need to consider this matter carefully. Zhang Huarong is still very important among the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, especially in the political and legal system of Guangdong, which is deeply rooted. If you touch Mao Shouyi, you will have a great revenge with him, which is difficult to resolve."

"Old man, the arrow is on the string and I have to fire it." Wang Siyu frowned and pondered: "The social security here is so chaotic, Mao Shouyi has the greatest responsibility to escape the blame. He, the chief of the public security bureau, should be taken down. Not only that, the public security system of Binhai City must be adjusted."

Zhou Songlin thought about it, then dusted the ashes and said in a soothing tone: "Let him move the local area like this. The situation in the province is very delicate. We are all in Guangdong and have no foundation in the local area. Zhang Huarong should try his best to strive for it, at least not to become an opposite."

Wang Siyu hesitated, nodded, and compromised: "Okay, but before leaving Binhai, he must wipe his butt clean. This is the final bottom line and he can't give in any more."

"Okay, then that's it, I'll communicate with Zhang Huarong again." Zhou Songlin hung up the phone, unable to help but feel a little surprised. He watched Wang Siyu grow up and knew very well about this disciple, but he did not expect that Wang Siyu would become so tough in just a few years. This time, if he hadn't coordinated himself, there would probably be no room for maneuver.

After smoking a cigarette, Zhou Songlin dialed the number again, called Zhang Huarong, and said with a smile: "Comrade Huarong, how are you? Have you arrived at home?"

Zhang Huarong nodded quickly, put down the wolf's pen, and said with a smile: "It's already here, Secretary Zhou, I'm in the study, copying your calligraphy works. Your calligraphy is round and full, free and natural, it's really a masterpiece."

Zhou Songlin raised his lips and waved his hand with a smile, "Brother Huarong has been awarded. You have a high level of attainment in calligraphy and have already entered the house. In this regard, I am still a layman and want to learn from you."

"How dare you, how dare you? Secretary Zhou is humble." Zhang Huarong showed a bright smile on his face, but he was quite anxious in his heart. He didn't know what the result of the communication was. Can the young municipal party secretary of Binhai City let Mao Shouyi go.

After a few greetings, Zhou Songlin took a sip of tea, turned the topic to the point, and said with a smile: "Brother Huarong, I just called Secretary Wang from Binhai City, and he happened to mention that he would come to your place in a while and visit him."

Zhang Huarong's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Of course it's welcome. Secretary Wang is a young hero, and his future is limitless. I also want to meet him. We are all old and how many years can we have to struggle with. The future stage of Guangdong will be theirs."

"It's going to be a few days, and I'm afraid I'm too busy to get busy during this period." Zhou Songlin smiled and said carefully: "Brother Huarong, according to Secretary Wang's report, the situation in Binhai is not very optimistic. Some officials and criminal gangs are fighting fiercely, and social security is very chaotic. If you don't use heavy blows, it's difficult to turn the situation around."

Zhang Huarong narrowed his eyes and said unhappily: "That's the case, then we must take decisive action. No matter who is involved, we must investigate it to the end. Secretary Wang just passed by. If he felt it was inconvenient, he could take the lead in the provincial department. We old comrades should support their young cadres, not only to help them get on the horse, but also to send them a trip."

Zhou Songlin waved his hand and sneered, "There is no need to let them do it themselves. If they interfere too much, they are still unhappy!"

Speaking of this, he paused and said casually: "Brother Huarong, Comrade Mao Shouyi, I have been practicing in Binhai City for a long time. Do you have any idea of ​​moving?"

"Okay, then move, but now there is no suitable position. It is best to study at the provincial party school for a while first to buffer." Zhang Huarong sighed, and was unable to turn the situation around, so he touched his hair again and said helplessly: "When there is a problem with social security, Shouyi must be responsible. I hope he can learn from his lessons and not make the same mistake again. Alas, this child has made me worry."

Zhou Songlin took a sip of tea, lowered his voice, and said meaningfully: "Brother Huarong, you are not afraid of minor mistakes, but you are afraid of not being able to pass the test. This is very important. Secretary Wang has made up his mind that there may be a lot of movement in the Binhai side."

Zhang Huarong was shocked and quickly understood his hint and said with apologies: "Understand, understand, Secretary Zhou, thank you."

"You're welcome!" Zhou Songlin nodded, hung up the phone with a smile, put on reading glasses, sat at the desk, picked up a book, turned on the pages, but was a little uneasy. He was still a little worried about Wang Siyu's command of Binhai. Facing a group of old official foxes, can this crooked machine gun be able to hold back?

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Huarong touched his cell phone, dialed the number, called Mao Shouyi, made a tactful notification, and persuaded him earnestly that since things cannot be done, don't force it. In the current situation, taking a step back is the best choice.

After receiving the call, Mao Shouyi stood up with a pale face and paced in the study, and became extremely angry. He never expected that the reply he had been waiting for would be such a result. Not only was he squeezed out of Binhai City, but he had to ensure that he had passed the review. This was not the result he wanted.

In fact, Mao Shouyi never thought of moving his nest. Binhai City is a rare Feng Shui treasure land, a treasure pot in the Pearl River Delta. Although his current public security director is not of high level, he has real power. He is a fat and shortage in the eyes of everyone. Even if he is transferred to the provincial department as deputy director, he will not be as comfortable as his current life. This is the reason why he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

However, after hearing the tone, Zhang Huarong seemed to have hit a soft nail. It took a lot of effort to obtain this almost harsh "guarantee". This made Mao Shouyi very conflicted. After thinking about it, he decided to make preparations.

On the one hand, we must seek the support of several municipal party committee leaders and ask them to resist Secretary Wang's decision at a small meeting tomorrow night. On the other hand, we must handle some tricky things well, so as not to be careless, not only will we lose our hat and end up in jail, which will not be worth the loss.

The next morning, Mao Shouyi brought gifts and went to see Mayor Lu Jinwang, Deputy Secretary Xu Bohong, and Secretary-General Hou Chen. Among these three, he was closest to Xu Bohong and had the closest relationship. Therefore, he bet on Xu Bohong.

Xu Bohong was also a little pessimistic and cautiously stated that he could only try his best to strive for it. No matter what, as soon as the shooting occurred, the initiative in this matter was already in the hands of Secretary Wang. It would be no easy task to reverse Secretary Wang's wishes, so that Mao Shouyi would be prepared for the worst.

After walking around, it was already afternoon. Mao Shouyi returned home and took out his passbook with his wife. After the accounts were correct, he decided to return all the "gray income" involved in the gang and make the most of the cuts with the evil forces.

He was able to think freely, keep the green mountains there, and he would not worry about losing firewood. Mao Shouyi's lover was extremely heartbroken. Seeing more than three million, he could not save it. His heart was as if he was shattered, and many tears were shed on the spot.

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, in the luxurious private room on the 16th floor of the Phoenix Tower Hotel, four heavyweight municipal party committee leaders sat on the sofa. Wang Siyu explained Luo Qiaoyun's case in detail, and then placed the relevant materials by the table for the three of them to circulate. Then, he took out the red book issued by the so-called "godfather" and handed it over to Secretary-General Hou Chen, and stopped talking.

Hou Chen knew very well that whether he was qualified to participate in such a discussion depends entirely on Secretary Wang's attitude. If he did not perform well for the first time, there would be no similar opportunity in the future. Therefore, he took the lead in firing, exaggerating the public security situation in Binhai City, as well as a series of problems in the public security and procuratorial and judicial system, and criticized them widely.

Finally, he hugged his shoulders with his hands and said frankly: "I personally think that the social security situation has deteriorated like this. Comrade Mao Shouyi of the Municipal Bureau has an unshirkable responsibility. It is not suitable for him to continue to serve as the director of the Public Security Bureau and it is necessary to make adjustments."

Wang Siyu nodded with satisfaction, looked at the two people opposite him again, and smiled and said, "Mayor Lu, Secretary Xu, what about your opinions?"

"Old Xu, let's talk first." Lu Jinwang narrowed his eyes and touched the handrail of the sofa with both hands, looking as stable as Mount Tai. In fact, he was not calm in his heart. He had no objection to adjust Mao Shouyi, and even optimistic. After all, this public security director is not his online person, but the problem is that if the political and legal system is comprehensively adjusted, it will inevitably harm his interests.

However, Lu Jinwang still didn't want to boycott him head-on, but hoped that Xu Bohong would come out and support him. After all, Mao Shouyi and Xu Bohong have been flirting with each other. Lu Jinwang believed that at this critical moment, Lao Xu would definitely stand out for Mao Shouyi.

Sure enough, Xu Bohong took out a cigarette and lit it, frowned and took a big mouthful, and said slowly: "Secretary Wang, I think it is not appropriate to discuss the issue of the Public Security Bureau Director's stay or not before the cause of the shooting is investigated clearly. In fact, Comrade Mao Shouyi has made great achievements in the public security mouth and has also been recognized by the superiors. He has denied his past achievements based on just one or two cases. This is not good."

Wang Siyu glanced at him and frowned and said, "Secretary Xu, if you are in Binhai City, even the secretary of the municipal party committee is insecure and you have to sleep in a bulletproof vest. Do you think it is appropriate to talk about past achievements?"

Xu Bohong was prepared and smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, this shooting incident is extremely strange. The person who shot the gun may have done it on purpose. Because the public security department has strongly cracked down on criminals, they are dissatisfied. This is why he used such despicable means to frame Comrade Mao Shouyi. I think this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Yes, what Lao Xu said is not unreasonable." Seeing the opportunity, Lu Jinwang hurried over to add a sentence, and also expressed his attitude, so as not to be defeated one by one by Wang Siyu. He did not want to protect Mao Shouyi, but bluffed and prepared for the next bargaining.

Wang Siyu nodded, touched the handrail of the sofa with his hand, and whispered: "What Lao Xu said makes sense. This shooting must be investigated clearly. However, whether it is investigated by the city, the province, or the Ministry of Public Security, or it will take me to see Secretary Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee before it can be finalized. Before that, the Binhai Municipal Bureau can investigate first, but this may not be the final conclusion."

Xu Bohong's expression changed, and of course he knew the meaning of Wang Siyu's words. People no longer trust Binhai's public security. If his requirements are not met, the matter will be exposed to the top, or even at the highest level. If the shooting incident is publicized and well known to everyone, then Binhai City needs to adjust it, it is probably not the public security, procuratorial and judicial system. Maybe Xu Bohong will also be implicated.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Bohong decided to retreat to advance and said with a smile: "Secretary Wang, if such a big thing happens, Comrade Mao Shouyi naturally has to take responsibility, but it seems that it is not appropriate to adjust the political and legal system."

Wang Siyu waved his hand and frowned, "Old Xu, again, it is not because of the shooting that the political and legal system was adjusted, but because there were major problems in social security, and some comrades have deteriorated and have become accomplices and protective umbrellas of criminal gangs. If these people are allowed to fight against the criminal gang, wouldn't they become more and more gangsters?"

Xu Bohong couldn't speak anymore, so he turned to look at Lu Jinwang and whispered: "Mayor Lu, we don't usually feel how rampant the underworld is?"

Lu Jinwang smiled and didn't say anything, just looked out the window, thinking secretly that the time was almost done, and after a few more moves, he could remove the ladder. Then, he negotiated with Secretary Wang alone to solve the problem. In his eyes, Xu Bohong had been eliminated in the negotiation of this issue. As for Secretary-General Hou Chen, he must also speak for him at a critical moment.

Wang Siyu smiled, picked up the red notebook on the coffee table, dialed a number, and whispered: "Okay, let everyone come in!"

About two or three minutes later, the door was suddenly knocked open, and more than a dozen tough men rushed into the room, holding a machete in their hands, shouting loudly: "Don't move, don't move. Whoever dares to move will kill him!"

The three municipal party committee leaders were stunned and slowly stood up, looking at these sudden figures and looking at each other. Lu Jinwang turned around and frowned and said, "Secretary Wang, what's going on?"

Wang Siyu smiled slightly and said softly: "It's not Secretary Wang, it's Boss Wang. These brothers were hired by me to hold on to the scene. Whoever dares to disagree, they will kill anyone, right?"

The dozen people nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Boss Wang is right!"

Lu Jinwang's face turned pale, he picked up the bag beside him, frowned and said, "Boss Wang, I agree!"

"Agree!" Hou Chen raised his right hand, his face extremely ugly.

Xu Bohong was stunned for a while before blushing, and he stuttered: "That...Boss Wang, I, I agree too!"
