Chapter 968 Powerless
"Old leader, I'm Liang Qunfeng!" Liang Qunfeng's mood had eased a lot while waiting for the call to be connected, so he could now speak calmly.
"Qunfeng, is there something wrong? Why are you calling me at this time?" The person on the other end of the phone asked with a smile.
"Old leader, this time I really have to trouble you with something important!" Liang Qunfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said into the phone.
"Oh? That's what I was saying. You usually call me in the morning, and it's already dinner time. You must have something urgent to tell me. Okay, hurry up and tell me. After that, I have to go out and play chess with those old guys!" said the person on the other end of the phone.
So Liang Qunfeng recounted what had happened that afternoon. The point was that his daughter was indeed too fond of Zhao Weinong. This was all Liang Lu's own idea, and he had no idea that Liang Lu would do such a thing.
"Qunfeng, you should let this secretary go as soon as possible, and try your best to find him a good position! Such a person is really not suitable to stay with you!" The person on the phone sighed after listening to Liang Qunfeng's explanation.
"I know about this. I will do it when I go to work tomorrow. It just so happens that our Luzhou City in Handong Province is short of a deputy mayor. I plan to let Xiao Wang take the position!" Liang Qunfeng said.
"Okay, comfort him. After all, he knows too much about you! Next is the matter of your daughter. Your secretary is not married yet, right? If not, marry her to Secretary Wang! She will have a good home in the future!" The person on the phone continued.
"Old leader, do you mean that I won't be able to get through this time? I may face suppression?" Liang Qunfeng is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart, so he has figured it out at this time. No matter how you look at it, this seems to be paving the way for his retirement?
"This Thirteenth Child of the Zhao family is the only child of Zhao Cheng who is involved in politics. All the political resources of the Zhao family have been poured into it. Do you think it is important?" said the person on the phone.
"That must be important, so I was thinking about asking my old leader to mention it to Zhao Cheng. Although Liang Lu acted on her own in this matter, I also took the initiative to admit my mistake to him! Can you let me finish this term in peace?" Liang Qunfeng's tone was almost pleading.
"Qunfeng, the Zhao family will not let go of this matter easily. Allowing you to step back and take a back seat is the best outcome I can think of!" The person on the phone said in a heavy tone.
In fact, he was also very annoyed. Liang Qunfeng was the most important card in his hand. The other cards were too small. They could neither provide him with anything valuable nor increase his voice. After all, ten mayors were not as important as a provincial governor.
But there is no other way to deal with this matter. Although Zhao Cheng is not well-known to ordinary people, for these old guys, Zhao Cheng's status in the hearts of the top leaders is frighteningly high, especially in the heart of the political commissar.
He also knew that although Zhao Cheng did not hold a high position, he still had a lot of say, especially since Zhao Cheng was not competitive in his daily life. So once he wanted to fight for something, the higher-ups would most likely follow his wishes, just like the last time with Zhao Lichun.
This time, Liang Qunfeng's daughter's wish was not fulfilled, but that did not mean Zhao Cheng would let Liang Qunfeng go. You know, if this thing succeeded, where would the Zhao family's reputation be?
Your daughter, Liang Qunfeng, is so stupid that she wants to use threats to achieve her goal. No matter whether you really like Zhao Weinong or have other purposes, this matter is taboo.
So he felt that the best outcome would be to get Liang Qunfeng a job as governor, since he was not suitable for it due to physical reasons, and stepping back to the second line was the best option.
"Old leader, I have been the governor for just over a year, and there are still many things I haven't done. I'm really reluctant to retire like this! Can't I fight for it again?" The pleading tone in Liang Qunfeng's voice was very obvious.
"There is no room for negotiation on this matter! You have to know that the Zhao family also wants to save face. What your daughter did is basically a taboo! Regardless of whether what he did was successful or not, it is ruining the reputation of the Zhao family. Do you think what Liang Lu did will not be leaked at all? Once it is leaked, have you thought about the consequences?" The old leader on the phone said in a serious tone.
Liang Qunfeng thought about it and realized that it was indeed as his old leader said. What his daughter did, whether successful or not, was ruining the reputation of the Zhao family. After all, in this society, it has always been men who seduced women, and it has not yet come to the time for women to seduce men!
Moreover, public opinion generally sympathizes with the weak. Even if I ask Secretary Wang to keep his mouth shut, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and any clues are even more deadly!
"Can't I take the initiative to admit my mistake to President Zhao now? There's no point in killing someone. After all, I'm a governor and the second-in-command of Handong. Does President Zhao really have to keep persecuting me?" Liang Qunfeng said with a grim expression.
"Do you remember why Zhao Cheng sniped Zhao Lichun?" the person on the phone suddenly asked.
"It seems that it's because Zhao Lichun's younger brother keeps provoking Zhao Weinong!" Liang Qunfeng said with a dejected look on his face.
"Zhao Lidong was just provoking Zhao Weinong and trying to trip him up. Zhao Cheng directly blocked Zhao Lichun's chance to become the provincial governor, allowing you to take advantage of the situation. What do you think Zhao Cheng will do about what your daughter did?" He was also very sad on the phone.
If conditions permit, he really doesn't want to give up Liang Qunfeng, the second-in-command of Handong Province. Unfortunately, he is really powerless.
It turns out that even when he was in power, he might not have been able to protect Liang Qunfeng, not to mention that he has now retreated to the second line. You have to know that his qualifications are only a few years earlier than Zhao Cheng! But Zhao Cheng's contributions are no less than his!
"Old leader, who do you think is likely to take over my position after I step down? This way I can nominate them directly at the meeting, and it can be considered as leaving a mark of our friendship!" Liang Qunfeng said with a grim expression.
He really didn't want to know that his position as governor was going to be given to someone else before he even had time to warm up to it. Anyone would feel uncomfortable for a while.
"The situation in your province is very special. I'm not worried about anything else now. What I'm most worried about is that Zhao Lichun will take advantage of this opportunity to become the governor, and once things stabilize, he'll shoulder both responsibilities!" The old leader on the phone said with a grim expression.
Liang Qunfeng's expression suddenly changed when he heard this! "Old leader, this is impossible? Why is Zhao Lichun so highly regarded by the higher-ups?" Liang Qunfeng asked with a grim expression.
"Zhao Lichun is an expert in economic development. The country is in need of such senior officials now, so Zhao Lichun caught the attention of higher-ups! You must be mentally prepared, as this is not impossible!" the old leader said leisurely.
