Official Career Storm

Chapter 1786: Chapter 1786

Lin He sat in the detention room with a scruffy beard, his eyebrows occasionally furrowing and relaxing.

It wasn’t his first encounter with the police, but it was his first time being detained.

For the Lin Family, this was a significant presence; the law held little constraint for them.

Whether ordinary people like it or not, society is divided into classes; class is omnipresent, and money can solve most worldly problems.

The law constrains ordinary people, while those with money and power naturally have exemptions.

But money and power are not omnipotent; for instance, this time, Lin He accidentally capsized.

"Tap, tap..."

Lin He looked up as a police officer approached, opened the iron-barred door of the detention room, and said, "Come out."

Lin He followed the officer to the office area; the officer handed over a freshly printed paper: "Sign here."

This is...

Seeing the words "Release from Detention" at the top, Lin He’s eyes involuntarily showed a hint of joy.

After reading the content, he signed his name without hesitation.

He knew that it was over and that he was safe.

The police returned his belongings and completed all the handover procedures, and Lin He walked out of the city bureau’s gate.

The sky was somewhat overcast, with the temperature hovering around zero degrees.

He was still wearing the coat from the night he went to the guest house; the coat was crisp but also thin.

He wrapped the collar around his neck, intending to call his secretary, but he spotted a familiar sedan in the parking lot, which was his car.

"Mr. Lin." The secretary got out of the car and walked over quickly.

Lin He got into the car, and the secretary drove out of the parking lot of the city bureau.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin asked you to see him after you get out." The secretary focused on driving while saying casually.

Lin He’s heart sank; his mistake this time almost dragged the Lin Family down.

The Lin Family allows them to make mistakes; no one can be absolutely right. As long as one is human, one will make mistakes.

The difference lies in some mistakes being tolerable and some not.

Lin He understood that due to this mistake, the Lin Family would not let him be responsible for any important business anymore.

Everything he currently possessed would be reclaimed by the Lin Family.

"Take me home first," Lin He said.

...

Su Rong felt very unreal when she came out of the city bureau.

At the moment the police took her away, she thought she was finished.

But after being detained, the police did not interrogate her.

She stayed in the detention room until today when she was released.

Buzz buzz...

Her recently returned phone rang; it was a call from Du Canyang.

She frowned and put the phone to her ear.

"You out?" Du Canyang asked.

"Just got out."

"Wait for me at the city bureau, I’m on my way."

"Oh."

After hanging up, Su Rong stood at the door waiting.

Although it was very cold, she didn’t want to go back inside.

In about a quarter of an hour, a private car drove into the parking lot.

This car was rented specially for the convenience of the inspection team’s work.

"Get in." Du Canyang rolled down the window.

Su Rong walked over and got into the passenger seat.

Du Canyang drove out of the parking lot slowly, and when he reached the first traffic light, he said, "Aren’t you curious why Song Guanchao let you go?"

Su Rong replied, "It wouldn’t benefit him if things got out of hand."

When she was released, she did wonder, but it wasn’t something hard to understand.

After a bit of thinking, one could deduce the reason.

Du Canyang said, "Although Song Guanchao is not petty, you can’t get past Leader Hong’s hurdle."

"I know."

"It’s good that you know."

Du Canyang could say this much because of their relationship.

Moreover, he was just an ordinary inspector, having little influence and unable to protect her.

Back at the guest house, Du Canyang led her to find Leader Hong.

Leader Hong said coldly, "Go pack up, and then come see me."

Twenty minutes later, Su Rong came over in a changed outfit.

Leader Hong said nothing and walked out, while she silently followed.

A half-hour later, they arrived at the Fuli Hotel.

This was the office location of the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee team in Jiangzhou.

Upon arrival, Su Rong knew what awaited her next.

Leader Hong pushed open the car door and walked towards the hotel, while Su Rong, sitting in the passenger seat, seemed to hesitate.

After thinking for a long time, she finally got out and followed.

Ji Wei, having received a call early on, was waiting in the conference room upstairs at this moment.

"Knock knock."

Leader Hong knocked on the door and pushed it open.

Ji Wei got up, extended his right hand: "Hello, Leader Hong."

"Mr. Ji." Leader Hong greeted him with a nod, stepped aside, and presented Su Rong: "This is Su Rong; she’s here to turn herself in."

Ji Wei nodded and said, "Come in."

They went into the conference room, and Ji Wei kindly poured a cup of tea for Su Rong, then took out a letter of accusation: "Su Chu, take a look."

Su Rong leafed through a glance; the accusation letter claimed she promised a polluting enterprise she could help overturn the city government’s decision to shut down and relocate, using this as leverage to demand a 10 million reward.

There were no audio or video recordings, no transfer records, only this personally written real-name accusation letter from the enterprise’s executive.

Su Rong could deny it; neither the Disciplinary Committee nor the police could find any evidence.

But she knew very well that she couldn’t deny it.

She put down the accusation letter, nodded, and said, "I plead guilty."

...

At the standing committee meeting, the appointment of the High-tech Zone’s district chief was submitted by the Jiangzhou City Committee’s Organization Department to the Nanjiang Province’s Organization Department.

Because Jiangzhou is merely a city, involving cross-city appointments must be approved by the Provincial Committee.

After receiving the documents, Minister Yuan of the Provincial Organization Department called Secretary Gao and Governor Lu to report as customary.

After receiving a definitive response, Minister Yuan sent someone to notify the Dujiang City Municipal Organization Department.

...

"Secretary Zhang, the Provincial Organization Department has sent a personnel transfer order." At the Dujiang City Organization Department, Minister Cheng contacted Zhang Meilin immediately.

To be honest, he was a bit stunned when he received this notification.

This personnel dismissal decision was way too sudden.

Even though Jiangzhou is a vice provincial level city, and the district chief is a bureau-level cadre, compared to that, the mayor of Dujiang City is only a county-level cadre. On the surface, the rank looks promoted, but from Minister Cheng’s perspective, this personnel arrangement for Fu Ying is obviously a promotion in name but a demotion in reality.

No matter how high the district chief’s rank is, they only manage one district.

Plus, the district is within the city with so many heads above, the power diminishment is considerable.

Regardless of Dujiang City being a county-level city, it is still a city.

The farther from the central authority, even the top official in a small county town lives better than a district chief in a big city.

If it weren’t known that both Wu Qiangwei and Song Guanchao were in Jiangzhou, Minister Cheng would have suspected whether Fu Ying offended someone.

"Mayor Fu’s?" Zhang Meilin asked.

"Yes... Secretary Zhang, you know already?"

"Yes," Zhang Meilin replied. "Inform Mayor Fu."

"Okay."

Suppressing the urge to ask further questions, Minister Cheng hung up the phone.
