Chapter 718 Confusing
Lin Gangjian wasn't surprised by the two's arrival, but he pretended to be confused, "Why are you here? And two of you at once?"
Haikou is in turmoil right now. You should be staying in the area to stabilize the situation." He added, "Even if there's something urgent, you can always call."
Zhang Jiadong said: "I didn't want to come at first, but I had to make a decision because it was urgent. I was also worried that I wouldn't be able to explain myself clearly over the phone, so I came."
Lin Gangjian asked the two to sit down on the sofa and continued practicing Tai Chi, "If the matter is urgent, then you shouldn't have come. Just report to Secretary He or Mayor Qi over the phone.
Why are you looking for an old man like me?
You all know that I'm going to retire soon. I'll go to the CPPCC after the New Year. I haven't asked about the city's affairs for a long time, and I can't ask about them anymore. You might as well go to those two instead of me."
He Qingsong smiled and said, "Secretary Lin, you are our old leader. It is because of your promotion that we, a group of cadres, have achieved today's results. Let alone you retiring, even if you haven't retired, we should always report to you on our work.
Besides, those two are too young and need your guidance. Otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn't let you stay in the position of Chairman of the Beishan CPPCC. They just hope you can play a role in leading the new ones.
I suspect we will need to report back to you for a long time to come."
Lin Gangjian laughed and understood what the mayor meant.
What achievements? Given the current situation in HK City, what achievements can he make?
Even if there are achievements, the achievements are his, but are the problems and corruption his?
He thought it must be counted. Otherwise, his two old subordinates, one of whom was his former secretary, would not have come to him so late at night.
Isn't it just that I want to look after these achievements myself and take some responsibility?
"Whether I report or not, some things cannot be changed according to my will. Politics is about rules, and I am no exception.
When a person retires, he must do so cleanly and completely. Whether it's previous power, achievements, or shortcomings and problems, at this point, they are all gone and must be handed over. You guys, please don't bother with this and waste my time.
Their expressions changed.
Indeed, if they have all retired, then they will really retire.
After all, everyone will retreat, and who can guarantee that they don’t have some minor problems?
Except for the big issues, of course.
It seems that their old leader really doesn't intend to take care of it anymore, even if some things involve himself.
Zhang Jiadong did not give up. He took over the conversation and played the emotional card: "Yes, old leader, you are right, we shouldn't have troubled you.
You have worked hard all your life, it's time to enjoy life.
But now that something like this has happened, if you don't do anything about it, I'm afraid someone will make a big fuss about it.
Our death is not a pity, but the reputation of Haikou City cannot be ruined.
Everyone knows that it was you who changed Haikou from a county to a city and developed it step by step.
Haikou City is like your child, can you really bear to let it be tarnished with black marks and scarred like this?"
Zhang Jiadong's words made Lin Gangjian fall into memories, and the glorious past years appeared before his eyes like slides.
Yes, Haikou is like his child, it would be a lie to say that he has no feelings for him.
His official career started in Haikou, which was then called Haikou County.
It was he who developed Haikou step by step and turned it into another major industrial area in Beishan.
It also became the only county-level city in Beishan, and as a result, he became the only high-ranking deputy director among all the secretaries of Haikou City.
Yes, only.
From the founding of the country to when he took over, the local industry was not developed. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a small fishing village, and naturally there could be no high-end products.
Later, when he stepped down, the economy was undergoing a transformation and Haikou's economy plummeted. Naturally, the high-end titles were taken away, leaving only the title of a county-level city.
Lin Gangjian sighed deeply, his tone slowing down slightly. "What reputation? What reputation is there when something like this happens? A deputy mayor was murdered. This is the first case in Beishan. If we don't investigate thoroughly, how can anyone sleep soundly?"
Zhang Jiadong said: "We didn't want this to happen, but according to our own comrades' investigation, Comrade Qiao Shan's death was indeed an accident.
I don't know why the investigation team concluded the victim was murdered just because of a few cigarette butts. To be honest, there is absolutely no basis for this."
Lin Gangjian raised his eyebrows and asked, "So you mean someone wants to make a big fuss?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, and the momentum is very high now. As early as after Secretary Yu of the Provincial Party Committee came to inspect, there were reports that you would definitely go to the CPPCC after the New Year. If you go to the CPPCC, Haikou, as your base, will have to usher in a major change.
Of course, at first I thought they were all rumors, but after all, it is a fact that you have arrived at your destination.
But the mayor's actions were intriguing. Not only did he refuse Qiao Shan's appointment, he also did not select other cadres. Instead, he arranged a rotating cadre.
Wasn't it agreed that the rotation period would be two or three years? It's really unacceptable that the other party hasn't even arrived for half a year.
No matter how you look at it, this series of actions reveals something unusual."
Zhang Jiadong almost said it explicitly, is he secretly targeting someone?
Who else could he point his sword at? If not him, Lin Gangjian, who else could he point his sword at?
Lin Gangjian suddenly fell silent, lost in Zhang Jiadong's analysis. His hand slowly reached for the cigarette box and took out a cigarette. He Qingsong hurriedly took out a lighter and lit it.
Lin Gangjian took two puffs of his cigarette, and his mind became much clearer and he figured out a lot of things.
This incident in Haikou may be a big deal. Qiao Shan’s death may not be an accident or homicide, but may very well be suicide.
Why else would he send his secretary away? This action was truly bizarre.
Of course, there is another possibility.
He was under guard.
The cigarette butt dropped on the ground was left by the person who was guarding him.
Lin Gangjian narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his suspicious gaze to the two old subordinates in front of him.
For a moment, he actually felt like he couldn't see through the two of them?
Could it be them?
"Is Qiao Shan really an accident?" Lin Gangjian looked at the two of them steadily.
The two of them heard the hidden meaning in the words.
Zhang Jiadong said: "It is most likely an accident. I can assure you that Qingsong and I have absolutely nothing to do with this incident.
No matter how foolish we are, we won't let T just... Especially when he's about to be transferred. Wouldn't that attract the city's attention?"
Lin Gangjian looked at the two of them for a long time before he finally believed that Qiao Shan’s death had nothing to do with them.
"Since it's not related, then try to distance yourself from it." He sighed again, "This comrade died in such an unclear manner. I'm afraid many things can't be explained clearly." He paused and asked, "Then what's the purpose of your coming here today?"
