Diary of the life of a working wizard

Wei Chen obviously didn't expect that Xia Yunjie would suddenly change the topic to his career. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously turned his attention to Qin Lan.

Obviously, in Wei Chen's eyes, Qin Lan is the key figure in the box tonight, and the key figure who can determine his comeback.

Qin Lan saw that Wei Chen was ignorant and ignored the olive branch extended by the rightful owner. Instead, he turned his attention to herself. She couldn't help but glanced at Xia Yunjie with a dumbfounded look. Then she nodded helplessly to Wei Chen and said, "Just tell me. It's reasonable." The secretary-general of the district government has quite a lot of power, but I don’t think anyone from the police station or the district tourism bureau takes you seriously. Otherwise, even if Gong Lei and Zheng Yan are brave enough to know that you are the secretary-general, No matter how old I am, I don’t dare to act like this. Besides, Mayor Qian will come over later. He is in charge of the government. If there is any unfair or malicious suppression, I might as well mention it to him and ask for his help. You decide."

"Mayor Qian is coming too?" Wei Chen and Xing Pengju couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, with a trace of panic flashing in their eyes.

Just kidding, aren't they gathered here tonight just because Mayor Qian's nephew made a mistake? Director Qin also invited Mayor Qian over, obviously with the intention of asking them to help testify.

Testifying against his nephew in front of Mayor Qian, how could Wei Chen and Xing Pengju not be nervous and panicked?

"Don't be nervous, Mayor Qian is not an unreasonable person." Qin Lan saw the two people's faces changed drastically, and there was a trace of panic in their eyes. Naturally, she knew what they were worried about, so she smiled and comforted them.

"Yes, what Director Qin said is that Mayor Qian is a good mayor." Wei Chen and Xing Pengju nodded hurriedly after hearing this, but secretly complained in their hearts.

From their point of view, Director Qin can naturally say this. She is the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and will soon be a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. It can be said that Director Qin already has some strength to challenge Mayor Qian. Naturally, she does not need to be too afraid of Qian. mayor. But they are different. One of them is just a demoted official at the department level, and the other is not even a full department at the department level, but only a deputy department at the department level. How can they compare with Director Qin? Woolen cloth? Even if Mayor Qian was in the way of Director Qin's favor, he pretended to be indifferent and magnanimous on the surface, but it would take absolutely every second for him to deal with them afterwards.

"Comrade Wei Chen, please tell me about your recent work situation." Qin Lan could see that both of them didn't mean what they said, but she knew that once Mayor Qian came, they would understand everything. I am not harming them tonight, but helping them.

Also, although Mayor Qian has a high and powerful position, he is not enough to face Xia Yunjie. Inviting him here tonight is Xia Yunjie's favor. Otherwise, if his nephew is so arrogant and arrogant, if Xia Yunjie really gets angry and pursues the case, I'm afraid even he, the mayor, will be implicated.

"Oh, it's a long story." Wei Chen sighed when he saw Qin Lan mentioning the old words again. He seemed to have aged a lot.

Then Wei Chen told Xia Yunjie and Qin Lan about the death of District Chief Kong and the fact that he was implicated and suppressed because of District Chief Kong's death.

After saying that, the box became quiet and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

As his social experience grew, Xia Yunjie thought he had begun to understand this society, including the officialdom, but today he discovered that what he understood was still just the tip of the iceberg. The cruelty of reality and the complexity of power struggles in officialdom far exceeded his imagination. .

A good official, an upright official who values ​​​​love and justice, can be directly suppressed regardless of the merits just because his leader dies, and can even be deprived of almost all power. This has become a disaster that everyone is afraid of and cannot avoid. star.

Although Xia Yunjie is not Wei Chen and does not have this experience, he can still imagine the torment and pain he experienced during that time.

Qin Lan has a much deeper understanding of reality and officialdom than Xia Yunjie. She just didn't know that Wei Chen's demotion was actually caused by Mayor Qian's faction. As a result, there is no doubt that promoting Wei Chen will inevitably involve the influence of Mayor Qian's faction. This also means that Mayor Qian will be hit at least twice tonight.

Even though Qin Lan knew that Xia Yunjie was there, Mayor Qian would never dare to have any objections, but she still felt some pressure.

As for Wei Chen, he fell into deep despair after he finished speaking. He originally hoped to make a comeback through Qin Lan, but he never expected that Director Qin would pull him over and ask him to testify against his nephew in front of Mayor Qian. It is conceivable that even if Mayor Qian doesn't say anything on the surface, how can he be willing to let him make a comeback in private? Not instructing Zhang Huaiwen to "take special care" of him was considered a great mercy.

"If I have a chance, I would like to meet that Zhang Huaiwen and see how domineering he is?" Xia Yunjie said in a cold tone after a long while.

"Yunjie, the officialdom is different from your school. This is actually not a particularly strange phenomenon." Seeing Xia Yunjie's cold tone, Qin Lan knew that Xia Yunjie was angry and persuaded with a wry smile.

"If this is not a strange phenomenon, then what is a strange scene? District Chief Kong has passed away. At worst, he can just send Wei Chen out and leave him in the district government office, but let him act like he doesn't care about anything. What does deputy secretary-general mean? Isn’t this a clear humiliation and torture? Is such a narrow-minded person worthy of being the secretary of the district committee? I don’t know, so forget it. Now that I know, when Mayor Qian comes, I still have to I need to ask him for clarification and an explanation." Although Xia Yunjie knew that what Qin Lan said was reality, he still couldn't let go and said coldly when he heard the words.

"No, no, Teacher Xia, if you really want to do this, you are not helping me, but forcing me to resign immediately." Seeing Xia Yunjie say this, Wei Chen was moved and frightened at the same time, and hurriedly waved his hands. .

Just kidding, I can just talk to a few people in private. If I really want to question Mayor Qian, isn't that asking for death?

"Yes, Teacher Xia, although Director Wei is in a bad situation now, he has finally gotten to know Director Qin, and he will gradually get better in the future. If you question Mayor Qian directly, everything will be over." Xing Pengju was also Xia Yunjie was shocked by his words and hurriedly echoed.

"Haha, is there anything you need to ask me?" As soon as Xing Pengju finished speaking, the half-opened box door was pushed open, and Mayor Qian walked in with a smile on his face.

Seeing Mayor Qian come in, Wei Chen and Xing Pengju were so frightened that their faces suddenly turned pale, and they stood up from their seats in a hurry, not daring to say a word.

"Mayor Qian, long time no see. I do have something to ask you, the mayor." Just as Wei Chen and Xing Pengju were so frightened that their hearts were pounding, a young voice suddenly sounded in the box.

When they saw Xia Yunjie, the teacher, actually questioning the mayor, both Wei Chen and Xing Pengju had despair in their eyes.

Oh my God, this is the mayor, not your Director Qin. Do you think that because you have a good relationship with Director Qin, you can be arrogant and even ignore the mayor? He is one level older than Director Qin.

Mayor Qian heard a young voice suddenly ringing from the box, his body visibly stiffened, and his eyes suddenly looked in the direction from which the voice came.

At this glance, a young face that Mayor Qian would never forget came into his eyes.

Seeing this face, just like Wei Chen and Xing Pengju suddenly recognized Qin Lan before, Mayor Qian couldn't help but shiver while standing in the heated and air-conditioned box. Following Mayor Qian's words An exaggerated smile immediately appeared on his face, and he walked quickly towards Xia Yunjie.

"Master Xia, when did you come to Dongtong City? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could show my kindness as a landlord?" Before he could reach the front, Mayor Qian had already stretched out his hands and said with enthusiasm. said.

"I came yesterday because I came to Dongping Lake with my colleagues and it was a group activity, so I didn't inform you." He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Seeing Mayor Qian's enthusiasm, Xia Yunjie didn't feel like getting angry for a moment, and he stretched out his hand to follow He shook his hand and said with a smile.

"Colleague?" Mayor Qian had a look of doubt on his face. He clearly remembered that Master Xia in front of him was the uncle of Director Qu who jumped out of the military helicopter with Director Chen. Do such strange people still need to work? Is there anyone else worthy of being his colleague?

"Yunjie is now a teacher at Jiangzhou University," Qin Lan explained helpfully from the side.

"Yes, Mayor Qian should call me Teacher Xia from now on." Xia Yunjie said.

Mayor Qian was startled when he heard this, but he was the mayor after all, so he reacted quickly. He came back to his senses immediately and said respectfully: "Then I will call you Teacher Xia from now on."

"This is best. Come on, Mayor Qian, let me introduce you to two friends I met after coming to Dongtong City." Xia Yunjie nodded, then pointed at Wei Chen and Xing Pengju, who had already been completely stunned.

Hearing the word "friend", Wei Chen and Xing Pengju felt as if they were suddenly struck by lightning. They were shocked and finally woke up a little.

"This is Wei Chen, the former director and secretary-general of your Dongping District Government Office. This is Xing Pengju, the captain of your Dongping District Water Police Brigade. Secretary-General Wei, Captain Xing, and Mayor Qian don't need my introduction." "Xia Yunjie continued with a smile.

"No, no need." Wei Chen and Xing Pengju hurriedly shook their heads, then stretched out their hands to Mayor Qian nervously and said: "Mayor Qian, good evening."

"Hello, Comrade Wei Chen."

"Hello, Comrade Pengju."

Although Mayor Qian was very puzzled as to how Xia Yunjie knew Wei Chen and Xing Pengju and specially invited them to have dinner together, since Xia Yunjie said they were his friends, Mayor Qian did not dare to neglect them and took them with him. He shook hands with Wei Chen and Xing Peng with a smile.

"Sister Lan, since Mayor Qian is here, let's start serving the table." Xia Yunjie said after Mayor Qian and Wei Chen greeted them.

"Okay, Mayor Qian, please take a seat." Qin Lan nodded and stretched out his hand to greet Mayor Qian.
