came over and we chatted while having breakfast together. 。After breakfast, everyone returned to Jingzhou. 。Sha Hai called last night, and this morning he and Xiao Zhong arrived. When Xiao Zheng was h...Chen Hong immediately picked up the phone: "Secretary Tan, I want to find you" 。"Tan Zhendao: “Minister Chen, you're so proactive in finding me today Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Jinghu Culture Festival, and I'm very busy now! I'm afraid I won't have time today.” 。Chen Hong said, "I know Secretary Tan is very busy, and he will have to give an opening speech tomorrow." 。But the reason I'm reaching out to you is very important, it's some crucial news. 。I am at "Yi Jian Tea House," preparing a late-night snack, waiting for Secretary Tan. 。See you soon. 。Tan pondered for a moment, then said: "I came..." 。But now I really don't know what time I'll finish work. 。"Chen Hong's attitude was very sincere: "I can wait" 。Tan Zhen said, "Well then, I'll come over and sit down when I'm done here." 。"Chen Hong had been keeping a distance from Tan Zhen recently, coming and going erratically. Today she came to him, so something must be up! Tan Zhen wasn't particularly interested in Chen Hong, he didn't want to come, but on one hand, Chen Hong insisted, and on the other hand, her youthful body still held some allure for Tan Zhen. Especially her personality, which was unlike ordinary women and hard to figure out, it aroused his desire to conquer her." 。So, Tan Zhendai agreed to come. 。After finishing the call with Tan Zhentong, Chen Hong instructed the owner of "Yi Jian Cha Pu" to prepare some late-night snacks and a bottle of good red wine, priced at no less than 1000. 。The teahouse had been doing poorly before, but today it looked like a goldmine. The proprietress was overjoyed and immediately set about making arrangements. 。At this moment, Chen Hong's phone rang again. Worrying that Tan Zhen might have changed his mind and not come, Chen Hong quickly picked it up only to see that it was her father, Chen Guangming, calling. 。"Chen Hong, I've been home for a while now. Why haven't you come back yet" "Dad, I have something to take care of. I'll be back as soon as I finish." 。Chen Guangming vaguely felt that this matter probably had something to do with him, so he said: "You shouldn't stay out too late either, go home early." 。“Got it” 。You and Mom should rest first. 。Chen Hong put down her phone, and the teahouse proprietress brought up a bottle of Burgundy red wine. 。Chen Hong said, "Wake me up a bar and then come with another pot of high-grade Pu'er tea." 。"The landlady readily agreed and went back to work." 。Having some time to herself, Chen Hong started thinking about the whole situation and how she could get out of it unscathed. The current situation felt like a fight between gods, but Chen Hong had gotten too involved, and she still had her own strong desires. What should she do next No matter what happened, she and her father, Chen Guangming, had to stay safe. 。This requires exploring and weighing various options to ultimately find the best path. 。About half an hour later, the wooden door on the first floor of the teahouse jingled, followed by the proprietress's voice greeting customers, "Upstairs please, we've been waiting >>>" 。Then, came the sound of footsteps going upstairs. 。Chen Hong thought, it should be Tan Zhen who arrived. 。As expected, Tan Zhen walked in accompanied by the boss's wife, taking a look up and down Chen Hong: "It seems like a few days have passed, Minister Chen is even more elegant than before." 。Chen Hong said: “Secretary Tan, don't praise me. You know the work of the Organization Department, it's always overtime anyway. Recently, I also need to cooperate with the tasks assigned for the Jinghu Culture Festival, and I'm exhausted!” Tan Zhen said: “Hard work, hard work.” 。Tan Zhen reached out his hand and shook hands with Chen Hong, his fingers gently squeezing hers. 。Chen Hong didn't immediately withdraw this time, saying: "Secretary Tan, please sit down." 。Boss, could you bring us some snacks and wine please 。“In a little while, the proprietress and her young helper brought up the awakened red wine, chilled crayfish, and grilled beef skewers, then bowed and retreated: 'You two enjoy yourselves. I've already hung up the closing sign, you can eat until whenever.’” 。“<

Tan Zhen used his finger to tap these things. “Isn’t it about drinking tea How did it become a big meal”<

Chen Hong smiled like a flower and said: “Secretary Tan, I also know that you have been working hard for the Jinghu Culture Festival these days.”>> 。Tomorrow you'll be giving a speech at the Jinghu Culture Festival in front of many leaders and guests. Since you've already put in extra effort today, treat yourself to some late-night snacks and wine, get a good night's sleep, and be full of energy for the event tomorrow!

Tan Zhenchao nodded in agreement with Chen Hong, saying: "It's true that Comrade Chen Hong cares about me. Look, even my secretary isn't as thoughtful as you." 。Chen Hong said, "Secretary Tan, you can consider letting me be the secretary in the future." 。“He then poured half a glass of red wine into the large glass in front of Tan Zhen, raised his own glass, and toasted to Tan Zhen.” 。The clinking of their cups echoed in the otherwise quiet teahouse, startling two green bugs that were multiplying on the window outside. 。He took a sip and said, "Good, this red wine is not bad. " 。“Having had countless encounters with women and drunk thousands of cups, Tan Zhen boasted...” 。Chen Hong smiled slightly, her cheeks flushed: "Good wine, only a cultured leader like Secretary Tan would understand." 。“Then, he put on a pair of disposable clear gloves and peeled a lobster, placing it on the white porcelain dish in front of Tan Zhendan. “Secretary Tan,” he said, "This lobster came from a top-rated seafood restaurant nearby.” 。Tan Zhen smiled, took the cigarette lighter in his hand and lit a cigarette. Picking up a lobster, he put it straight into his mouth. "I have to eat the lobster peeled by Minister Chen, don't I" 。Even if the food is poorly cooked, as long as you peel it well, there's nothing to say about the taste. 。Lobster with red wine 。Chen Hong poured another cup of wine, and the two drank again. 。Tan Zhen drank some red wine again, and looked quite satisfied. 。Satisfied 。He looked at Chen Hong and asked, "Well, Minister Chen, we've eaten and drunk our fill. Let's get down to business." 。“Chen Hong was taken aback and looked at Tan Zhen, feeling a little embarrassed. But she quickly hid it with a smile and said, “Secretary Tan, I mainly invited you here today for a late-night snack, to relieve your boredom.” 。"Tan Zhen still smiled: "Chen Hong, you know me, and I know you" 。Let's be clear, why speak in riddles If you don't tell me, I'll leave and won't listen anymore. 。。Chen Hong thought to herself, then smiled and said, "Secretary Tan, I received some news today that might not be favorable for either of us, so I wanted to report it to you promptly." 。Tan Zhen looked at Chen Hong: "Tell me..." 。Chen Hong said: "I heard that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection is privately collecting relevant clues to investigate some people, including my father, Chen Guangming." 。And, their investigations are all of the type that rehash old news. 。"Tan Zhen's lips were tightly closed, his tongue darting between his teeth and lips as if tasting something. "What are you worried about Worried that the city discipline inspection committee will arrest your father"

Chen Hong said: "If they arrest my father, of course I am worried..." 。But what worries me more is that they might have other motives. To be honest, my father used to have a small safe in the county back then, which was quite common at the time. I believe Secretary Tan would know this too. 。But, they tore open a corner, and there might be big moves behind it. 。Before this, three leading cadres from Anxian County were sentenced. Next, Secretary Tan's secretary Wang Chunhua and Secretary Tan's relative Yao Baxian are probably going to be sentenced soon. 。"Secretary Tan, what they're doing, step by step, with a plan, is eroding your credibility. If you don't intervene, I fear their ultimate goal will be achieved."

Chen Hong mentioned Wang Chunhua and Yao Baixiang, making Tan Zhen feel uneasy. He stared at Chen Hong: "What is their purpose" Chen Hong said, "Isn't that clear Isn't it to bring you down Or, get you out of Jingzhou" 。But driving you out of Jingzhou was also to bring you down. 。"Waiting for you to leave, wouldn't it be easy to find your problem By then, even whites could be painted black by them!"

This remark made Tan Zhen feel a chill down his spine. He looked at Chen Hong and said, "What do you think we should do" Chen Hong replied, "Order the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission to stop all current investigations, first of all, my father's! As the current Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, if you issue an order, Gao Cheng Han has no choice but to obey." 。"As long as we can stop them, we'll have enough time!"

Hearing this, Tan Zhen smiled and leaned back on the sofa, saying, "Chen Hong, to put it simply, your goal is still to have me stop the municipal disciplinary committee from investigating your father." 。"Concern clouded Chen Hong's face. Tan Zhen wouldn't help her Chen Hong emphasized again, "Secretary Tan, have the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection stop their actions. It's in your best interest!"

Tan Zhen nodded and picked up a wine decanter, pouring some into his cup and then into Chen Hong's. He said, "Chen Hong, I also want to help you" 。But right now, there's nothing I can do. 。On the one hand, you also know that Gao, the head of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, is very disobedient. This person considers himself a 'fixed-point anchor', and with the continuous support of Cheng from the provincial level, he is emboldened and wants to investigate whoever he pleases. 。If you tell him directly to stop, he will report to the provincial government that I, as the municipal Party secretary, am interfering in his investigation. Then things will become complicated. 。Chen Hong still tried to persuade: “But, Secretary Tan, you are the municipal party secretary. Couldn’t you explain to the provincial authorities” Tan Zhen shook his head and said: “Things used to be much better…” 。But, there's been a bit of a situation lately. 。Minister Sima told me something. During his last inspection of Ninggan, Secretary Xiong actually asked him, "As the secretary of this municipal party committee for so long in Jingzhou, I haven't accomplished anything outstanding. He asked Minister Sima about my qualities and abilities. This is a signal! So recently, besides ensuring the smooth progress of all work, I can't make any rash moves!"

These words chilled Chen Hong to the bone. 。She didn't expect that Secretary Xiong was not very satisfied with Tan Zhen. 。This is a much bigger problem than Chen Hong could have imagined. 。Tan Zhen's gaze fell once again on Chen Hong's face: "I'm not saying I won't help you, this matter is complicated." 。But, since you've come to me today, I can still offer you some advice. 。To stop Gao Cheng Han from investigating your father, perhaps you could only go to Minister Sima. 。Your relationship with him must be no worse than mine. Minister Sima has the backing of a powerful family, perhaps they can silence them. 。You can give it a try. 。This late-night meal made Chen Hong feel that she had been taken advantage of. 。Tan Zhen dared not order Gao Chenghan to stop what he was doing, which made Chen Hong somewhat disdain Tan Zhen. 。These slight changes in expression, Tan Zhen could naturally detect them as well. He stood up directly and said, "Chen Hong, that's it for today." 。I think you probably still have things to do, and I'm here. It's not convenient for you either. I have important activities tomorrow, so I'll go back to rest today first. 。Chen Hongchao glanced at Tan Zhen, stood up, and said, "Secretary Tan, I'll see you off." 。Tan Zhendao: "No need, I'll go down myself." 。"With that, Tan Zhen walked straight downstairs. When he reached the middle of the stairs, Tan Zhen suddenly stopped, without turning back. He knew Chen Hong was still at the door, so he said, 'Actually, sometimes there are simpler ways than asking for help...' " Tan Zhen didn't continue, but instead went down the stairs more quickly. 。t hold on for long. 。"I think he's been hiding the increasingly serious trend of his illness from the organization! He must be worried that they'll find out!""Father, this is wonderful!" Sima Zhongtia...
