Chapter Seven The Greatest Certainty

  (Continue to refine the opening text, the main storyline has not changed at all, old readers don't need to pay attention to me, if it causes any inconvenience, please forgive me)

  As soon as the meeting was over, other members of the investigation team saw Liu Siyuan running away like a plague, with no one in sight within three meters around him.

  Only Wang Heyuan still had some conscience, and couldn't help but find an opportunity to secretly ask: "Little Liu, what's wrong with you? Did you eat explosives? That Huang Silang is the deputy governor's brother-in-law!"

  "Hehuan, don't worry, I have a plan." Liu Siyuan forced a smile, but in fact, he was also extremely nervous, his shoulders felt like they had a thousand pounds of weight on them. If it weren't for the little black book that still gave him some confidence, he would have already collapsed mentally.

  After tidying up the documents, Liu Siyuan hastily returned to the municipal government, as there were still inspection reports to be written.

  As he walked into the city government gate, it was almost closing time. In the corridor, he met a few colleagues chatting and waiting for closing time. Liu Siyuan suddenly found that their eyes on him had changed, and some people even pointed at him behind his back.

  It seems that the old saying has come true: good news doesn't spread far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. I reckon many people in the city government already know what he did this afternoon.

  As soon as he entered the office door of the inspection room, Yao Yuen was the first to stop him and said with a strange tone: "It seems that I underestimated you before, and I couldn't see that you still have some blood."

  "Si Yuan, I admit it, you're more ruthless than me." Xing Jun also walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Afterwards, he seemed to want to say something else, but in the end, he just sighed and held back.

  Zhang Jinping still had the same old mannerisms, narrowing his eyes and speaking in a somewhat lazy tone: "Being young is great, huh."

  It was Zhang Jinsong who didn't smile, furrowing his brow and saying: "Little Liu, since this matter is specially arranged by the Secretary-General, your inspection report must be written carefully. I think it's not necessary to show it to me and Director Yao, you can just hand it over to Chairman Zhang directly." As he spoke, he glanced at Yao Huan, who also nodded in agreement.

  Liu Siyuan put down his things and honestly acknowledged them.

  Now that it has come to this, he doesn't have much to say, so he just focuses on writing the report. To be honest, writing articles has always been his weakness. He can't write those fancy articles at all. On the other hand, Xing Jun is an expert in this area, and the articles he writes are truly beautiful. I remember that it was because of an article he wrote that he got praised by the Secretary-General back then, which gave him the opportunity to conduct his first independent inspection.

  Fortunately, the inspection report is still mainly written in a realistic style, not like those official articles with little nutritional value. Liu Siyuan can barely cope with it, but every word and every word has to be carefully scrutinized, which is also a very energy-consuming thing.

  The core idea of the entire report is that Hanchang University bears leadership responsibility and management responsibility for this food poisoning incident, suggesting that the director of the logistics department be suspended from duty and recommending that the provincial and municipal discipline inspection commissions as well as the Ministry of Education's discipline inspection commission intervene to investigate related corruption situations.

  After finishing writing, Liu Siyuan took the draft to Zhao Feng with a nervous mood. The latter was quite refreshing and immediately turned around to help him submit it to the Secretary-General's office.

  Liu Siyuan thought he could just leave like that, but unexpectedly was stopped by Zhao Feng, who said: "Little Liu, come with me, the Secretary-General has given special instructions."

  This was also the first time Liu Siyuan formally entered the Secretary-General's office, apart from reporting on that day. Zhang Zhengdong sat in the boss chair and saw the two coming in. He waved his hand to let Zhao Feng leave, then pointed to the chair in front of the desk, indicating for Liu Siyuan to sit down and wait.

  He then took out a pair of reading glasses from the drawer, and began to carefully read his report word by word. After finishing, the secretary-general stood up and walked to the window, where he pondered for a long time before returning to the office desk, taking out a red pen and starting to revise the report word by word in front of him. This process took more than an hour, making Liu Siyuan's heart beat nervously and anxiously.

  It wasn't easy for the Secretary-General to finally lift his head, and there was also a hint of fatigue in his eyes. It seemed that this report had consumed a lot of energy from the old man. He pointed at the report and said to Liu Siyuan: "I've made some changes, you redo it according to this and hand it over to me, it must be completed today!"

  Liu Siyuan hastily nodded in agreement and left the Secretary-General's office, only to find that it was already 7 o'clock in the evening. It seemed that he would have to work overtime.

  Fortunately, Secretary Zhang had already made the necessary changes, and it didn't require much more brainpower, just a typing job. However, this task also needed to be done carefully, as any mistakes or typos would definitely leave a bad impression on the leader. Therefore, after Liu Siyuan finished typing, he carefully checked it three times before resubmitting it to Secretary Zhang.

  Unexpectedly, Secretary Zhang looked at it again and hesitated for a while before continuing to revise... After repeating this process three times, the final draft was finally finalized. Fortunately, after submitting it for the last time, Zhang Zhengdong forced a smile and said: "Little Liu worked hard, overall today's performance is not bad, you have to work harder in the future."

  When he heard the leader's praise, Liu Siyuan suddenly felt a little proud and returned to the office after nine o'clock.

  Unexpectedly, Zhang Jinsong was still working with his head down in the office.

  "Zhang Ge, why so late." Liu Siyuan greeted, and at the same time, he helped him brew a new cup of tea.

  "Uh, something's up. How's the food poisoning case going on your end? What did Boss Zhang say?" Zhang Jinsong seemed to be taking the case he was in charge of very seriously, but strangely, it was him who explicitly stated that afternoon that he didn't need to review the specific report.

  Liu Siyuan reported the situation to him in detail, and after listening carefully, he took a big sip of tea before analyzing: "It seems that the higher-ups have some different understandings of this incident, but overall your thinking is correct, and I believe the leader will also think of this point."

  Liu Siyuan roughly guessed that the leader he was talking about should be Mayor Chen Guo, who is also a deputy ministerial-level official like Vice Governor Zhu.

  Zhang Jinsong fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked again: "Little Liu, is there really something wrong with Huang Silang?"

  Liu Siyuan replied matter-of-factly: "Yeah, I heard from classmates that they all live in villas worth tens of millions."

  Zhang Jinsong tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times and said, "I understand now. The key point of this matter is whether the Discipline Inspection Commission will intervene, and also the attitude of Secretary Hu and the Provincial Party Committee, as well as the Ministry of Education. If Secretary Hu also supports our Mayor Chen, then things should be able to work out." The Secretary Hu he referred to was Hu Yinghua, a standing committee member of the Qianhu Province Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Hanjiang City Municipal Party Committee.

  Liu Siyuan understood that Zhang Jinsong's words were not easy to say, and it could be said that he was speaking from the heart.

  However, he still had some other thoughts in his mind. The tone of Zhang Zhengdong's voice on the phone that day seemed to imply something. Boss Zhang was not a reckless young man, and what he said must have been at least 90% certain. Moreover, he was also very confident about that laptop, so on the surface, he still thanked him sincerely, but in his heart, he wasn't too anxious either.

  As expected, the fact once again proved that laptop was a freak.

  The situation developed rapidly over the next few days, beyond everyone's expectations.

  The day after Liu Siyuan submitted the report, the Party Committee of Hanjiang University reached a consensus and ordered Huang Silang to be suspended from duty for investigation. Unexpectedly, on the same day, it was not the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, but the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission that, in conjunction with the Ministry of Education's Disciplinary Committee, formed a disciplinary inspection working group specifically responsible for investigating Huang Silang. Suddenly, the entire atmosphere of the investigation team changed.

  Liu Siyuan suddenly found that his status in the investigation team had risen a lot, and some leaders who were far higher than him would take the initiative to talk to him for a few words. In the recent small group discussion meetings, he also got many opportunities to speak.

  The following week, Huang Si Lang was formally placed under double designation by the Ministry of Education's Discipline Inspection Committee. A deputy dean at the vice-hall level was also implicated. The businessmen who sold dead pigs and the person in charge of the cafeteria were handed over to judicial authorities and have been prosecuted, it seems they will be sentenced to several years.

  Liu Siyuan also heard Xing Jun mention that a few days ago, Mayor Xu's investigation report was severely scolded by Mayor Chen, saying it was understated and evasive, completely shirking responsibility. There were even rumors that Mayor Chen had mentioned Liu Siyuan's name as a positive example to contrast with some others.

  As things progressed, Liu Siyuan gradually realized that he seemed to be a bit "on fire", the degree of which left him somewhat at a loss.

  For example, in the past few days, some famous loudspeakers in the municipal government offices - mainly composed of middle-aged women - would say with exaggerated tone when they saw him: "Our little Liu is so powerful, I heard that he made several deputy directors and even Vice Mayor Xu obey him in a meeting."

  Liu Siyuan was frightened after hearing this, and he actually said that he "fixed" the vice mayor. It's simply upside down. The difference in level is not just a little bit, so he explained to everyone: "Don't spread rumors, the fact is that the whole event was successfully concluded under the correct leadership of Mayor Xu, with the strong cooperation of all bureau chiefs, and with a highly responsible attitude towards our students. I didn't play any role in it."

  Soon after, another big event occurred. One month after the Hanjiang University incident, the deputy prefix at the level of Secretary-General Zhang was finally removed, and he was officially promoted to a full hall-level cadre. Although there was no change in his position, this step-up promotion was also very crucial, greatly increasing the possibility of Secretary-General's retirement before impacting the departmental level.

  The appointment of the Secretary General of the Municipal Government is registered in the province and needs to be discussed by the Provincial Party Committee. Rumors say that this time, in handling the incident at Hanjiang University, the bold and decisive work style of the Municipal Supervision Office's prevention of problems before they arise added a lot of points for Secretary Zhang.

  Although Secretary Zhang originally had enough qualifications to get a full hall level, the official promotion emphasizes that it is necessary to hurry early. This food poisoning incident has advanced Secretary Zhang's promotion by some time. It is said that Secretary Zhang once highly praised Comrade Liu in private and even said in a private occasion that Inspector Liu was his lucky general.

  Zhang Zhengdong did not directly praise us Liu Siyuan, but in a subsequent meeting, he directly named Comrade Liu Siyuan to be solely responsible for the long-term idle land development in Beihong District.

  This time, even Liu Siyuan himself understood that this was actually a kind of implicit praise, and it was much more powerful than verbal praise. To know that he had not yet fully concluded his first independent responsibility for the food poisoning incident at Hanjiang University, he was again allowed to independently accept new tasks, which is the leader's trust in him, and also the greatest affirmation of his ability and performance.
