Volume 1 Chapter 15 I Want to Stay in Donghua

  (Thanks to the cover made by Jiāo Rù Fù Jī, um, the atmosphere is absolutely great)

  Next, Wu Haifeng said to Gao Tianhe in an unquestionable tone: "Comrade Mingde died of illness, the Donghua Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government must draw profound lessons. Peng Yong must be suspended immediately for investigation, and Ge Yongqiu must also make a profound self-examination; In addition, there are serious problems with the Nanyuan Hotel, I will instruct the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission to conduct a thorough investigation, and the daily operation and management of the Nanyuan Hotel will be temporarily supervised by the Municipal Party Committee Office...

  Wu Haifeng was still in charge at this time, even if he would be replaced by the provincial government later, he did not want to see Gao Tianhe too happy. Even if he couldn't directly hit Gao Tianhe on the head with a stick, he would never let Gao Tianhe's underlings have an easy time.

  As long as Wu Haifeng is still the municipal party secretary for one more day, a small fry like Peng Yong can be trampled underfoot.

  Peng Yong stood there like a dead fish, Wu Haifeng hated him to the bone and scolded in a deep voice: "You go back home first, prepare at home, be ready to accept the investigation from the city at any time..." He seemed to want to directly put Peng Yong under double rules.

  However, Wu Haifeng wants to thoroughly investigate Nanyuan and even hopes to find more problems by following the trail. The municipal discipline inspection commission may not cooperate, and other deputy secretaries and standing committee members will also resist.

  Shen Huai heard that Ge Yongqiu only made a self-criticism, and he was still somewhat disappointed in his heart. However, he also knew that Ge Yongqiu was the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government, a member of the Municipal Party Committee, and a member of the Municipal Commission. To remove him from office, Wu Haifeng would have to go through the Municipal Standing Committee meeting.

  Judging from the current situation, unless Gao Tianhe abandons Ge Yongqiu, other standing committee members will find it difficult to support Wu Haifeng, the municipal party secretary who is about to be removed, and remove a member of the municipal party committee.

  Thinking that Ge Yongqiu might still be able to stay in the city afterwards, Shen Huai felt a headache, but he managed to get through this ordeal for now, and couldn't care too much about what happened later.

  Even if Ge Yongqiu is still in the position of Secretary General of the Municipal Government, he is afraid that he will be finished. However, if Wu Haifeng can withstand this blow and not fall, even with Gao Tianhe's protection, Ge Yongqiu's days will not be easy.

  Wu Haifeng continued to put his hands on his waist and said: "Second, Comrade Mingde's funeral, I will take the lead, Mayor Gao you are in charge of the specific handling; third, Comrade Mingde's loved ones in Donghua City, we need to find meticulous staff to take care of everything. Xiao Shen needs to participate, but we can't put too much burden on his shoulders, we need to take care of his body, I think it's better to let Zhou Yu from the municipal government work with Xiao Shen...” In the conversation, the way he addressed Shen Hua had changed from "Secretary Shen" to "Xiao Shen".

  Wu Haifeng's words were accepted by Gao Tianhe with a nod.

  Shen Hua felt that Zhou Yu, who had been silent from the start, was sizing him up. He turned his head around and found that Zhou Yu had already shifted his gaze away, bending down to comfort Chen Mingde's loved one in mourning.

  Zhou Yu's raven-black hair cascaded down, covering her delicate cheeks. However, as she bent over, her plump breasts also fell forward, pressing against the front of her shirt, as if holding up a heavy wooden melon. This made Shen Huan wonder if the buttons on her shirt would burst open at any moment - not to mention the perfection of her bust, but its grand scale was far beyond what one could grasp.

  Even if Shen Hua merged the memories of two people, he still felt that Zhou Yu had many mysterious and inexplicable things about her.

  Shen Hua only knew now that Zhou Yu had left Nan Garden earlier because Wu Haifeng asked her to go to the national highway entrance to welcome Tan Qiping and Chen Mingde's lover into Donghua City.

  Such a beautiful woman, even with a strong background behind her back, she can struggle to survive in the city government's male-dominated melting pot and still live quite comfortably, without being swallowed up without leaving any bones. Whatever you say, she won't be a simple woman.

  However, the previous Shen Hua was infatuated with Zhou Yu's plump buttocks and thought that her husband being paralyzed in bed would make her a widow who would be lonely at night...

  Shen Huai suddenly realized that recalling the memories of digging before didn't have any special benefits, but instead made him involuntarily steal glances at Zhou Yu's chest and buttocks, thinking to himself that she indeed had the most tempting places on her body.

  Zhou Yu could also feel Shen Huai's gaze on her body, slightly turning to the side, thinking that this rascal still didn't forget to sneak a peek at her breasts and butt, and then thinking about how he was crying with tears and snot earlier, really knowing how to act.

  However, Zhou Yu was also secretly astonished: How did he not see the formidable side of this scoundrel before? Or was his own disgust blinding him?

  After Zhou Yu arrived at the South Garden, she also saw some doubts, but couldn't see through them. She didn't want to see Municipal Party Secretary Wu Haifeng's sword go off track, but Wu Haifeng's will was not something she could change.

  Later, Wu Haifeng sent someone to pick up Chen Mingde's family members. Zhou Yu didn't know why the whirlpool suddenly became so dangerous, and he didn't expect that such a complex situation would be resolved by Shen Huai with just a few words, a few snorts, and a few tears; and the city party secretary was also forced to change his tone in front of him, with no way out...

  Even if the whole thing was set up by Gao Tianhe in secret and then revealed to Shen Hua by Ge Yongqiu, Shen Hua's behavior would still be suspicious; and after the nature of the whole thing had been determined, Shen Hua's words were even more ambiguous, making it impossible for Zhou Yutou to guess his intentions.

  At this time, Zhou Yu also had some regrets. If he could have persisted in his own opinion from the beginning, maybe things wouldn't be so bad.

  Zhou Yu believed that he was disliked by him before and had walked away with a biased view.

  If he had been pretending to be a pig eating a tiger for half a year, his mind would have become very deep; thinking of this, Zhou Yu also felt a chill in his heart.

  Tan Qiping and his entourage were arranged to rest in Building No. 1.

  Building No. 1 was originally Wu Haifeng's exclusive reception area in Nanyuan, and now it is let out to Tan Qiping and his entourage for accommodation, not only as a gesture of goodwill but also with the hope of having private communication with Tan Qiping.

  Tan Qiping had no connection with Wu Haifeng, but he knew that before confirming what this matter would bring to Wu Haifeng's serious aftermath, it was not suitable for him to have private contact with Wu Haifeng too deeply.

  Tan Qiping let the staff go out first, sat down with his legs crossed, pointing to the sofa next to him and said to Shen Huai: "Sit down, don't be too formal. Before I came here, I had a phone call with Director Song, and I was also worried about Donghua's situation, but I didn't expect you to handle this matter so well..."

  Things turned out this way, Tan Qiping's mood was great, and he looked at Shen Hua with interest.

  In Tan Qiping's eyes, Shen Hua was thin and tall, with a pale complexion, looking somewhat sickly, his eyes lacked spirit, and his body was also weak. Regardless of whether he was handsome or not, perhaps he could be considered good-looking, but Tan Qiping felt that Shen Hua's vitality was much worse, belonging to the kind of decadent young man who wouldn't attract attention.

  Tan Qiping also wanted to see if Shen Hua had anything extraordinary about him, whether he really had enough confidence in his judgment of people's hearts and timing, or if he coincidentally broke Wu Haifeng and Gao Tianhe's plan.

  Shen Huai smiled wryly in his heart, it wasn't hard to imagine how Second Uncle Song Qiao would talk about him behind his back to Tan Qiping, probably warning Tan Qiping to be on guard against him messing things up.

  Shen Huai sat upright on the sofa, facing Tan Qiping directly:

  "When Mayor Chen died, I was not by his side and only learned about it afterwards. I rushed to the Nanyuan guesthouse, where a sheet had already been placed over Mayor Chen's face and he could no longer be saved. When I saw that Mayor Chen was lying naked under the sheet, I was indeed startled. But when I heard Ge and Peng deliberately emphasizing that Nanyuan did not provide hot water at noon, and that Mayor Chen had mentioned this twice, I became suspicious. Mayor Chen had a habit of taking cold showers, and Peng Yong should have known this. At the time, I thought his words were problematic..."

  "So, you're not sure if Mayor Chen's heart attack was caused by taking a cold shower?" Tan Qiping leaned in, his interest growing even greater. Shen Hua didn't have enough confidence to intervene and disrupt the situation, aside from being clever, he also needed courage.

  In fact, the situation was extremely dangerous. If Wu Haifeng and Gao Tianhe had a little more tacit understanding and trust between them, the whole scene would have likely become a stalemate, and the entire situation would have likely escalated severely.

  "It's certain, but there is no strong evidence."

  Shen Hua didn't intend to tell Tan Qiping about the details of hiding in the car and eavesdropping, as well as seeking help from the Song family. He avoided the main issue and said lightly:

  "Ge Yongqiu and Peng Yong were both at Nanyuan in the afternoon, they are the only ones who can do something. Secretary Wu will arrive a bit later, roughly around the same time as me and Deputy Secretary Zhou Yu. I was thinking that Ge Yongqiu and Peng Yong are people of Mayor Gao, so Secretary Wu shouldn't have any collusion with them on this matter. In fact, before you arrived, Minister Tan, Secretary Wu still expressed dissatisfaction with Mayor Gao's tardiness, his tone was also very impatient. So I thought, since Secretary Wu and Gao Tianhe don't trust each other, maybe this is my only chance to keep Mayor Chen from being implicated..."

  "Ah," Tan Qiping also didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns behind the scenes, nor did he think that Shen Hua, this young man, would have such a ruthless mind, even surpassing his judgment of him just now.

  Of course, Shen Hua's execution power also made Tan Qiping praise: many people, although they have a good brain and thinking ability, can think clearly about the key points of things, but it doesn't mean they can do it perfectly.

  Tan Qiping understood the situation and asked another question:

  "Aren't you going to leave Donghua?"

  Shen Hua was unfamiliar with Tan Qiping, and the reason he placed his hopes on him was simply because when he called Second Uncle, a voice on the other end of the phone mentioned him.

  Tan Qiping can see through his own mind, Shen Hua also knows that Tan Qiping has been in the official circle for half a lifetime and can still sit in the position of Deputy Minister of Provincial Organization Department. His sharp eyesight is not comparable to ordinary people.

  Shen Huai nodded, which was tantamount to acknowledging Tan Qiping's conjecture.

  Tan Qiping didn't ask Shen Hua why he insisted on staying in Donghua, and to be honest, he was also puzzled as to how the Song family could abandon Shen Hua in such a godforsaken place.

  To be a secretary, among so many provincial and ministerial-level institutions across the country, isn't there a training position for Song's children? Why do they have to follow Chen Mingde to Donghua?

  "Also, this matter may not be too complicated, you should be mentally prepared." Tan Qiping said.

  Shen Huai nodded, knowing that Tan Qiping said so, didn't want to let the situation become more complicated and enlarged, probably the intention of the province was also this.
