On Wednesday afternoon, Vice Governor Lu rushed to West China. Accompanied by Li Chen, Ma Shangfeng, Wu Fangzhou and others, he visited several key enterprises in Minjiang City. He stayed at Wangjiang Hotel overnight. The next morning, just as the sky was dawn, he brought him again.

The huge convoy set off and rushed to the county town below to inspect the rural economy.

Liang Guizhi was still running the project in the provincial capital and did not come back. Mayor Li Chen accompanied him throughout the journey. In the next few days, the local media in Minjiang received instructions from the Propaganda Department and released news in a prominent position, reporting on Vice Governor Lu's itinerary and speech.

There is nothing new about the speech. Most of them are familiar clichés. They are nothing more than adjusting the industrial structure, optimizing resource allocation, improving the technological content of private enterprises, encouraging innovation, and promoting the rapid development of the local economy.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that at this sensitive moment, Vice Governor Lu is creating momentum on his trip and creating a political atmosphere that is beneficial to Li Chen. It doesn’t matter what he is talking about. What’s important is that Mayor Li Chen stays by the side of the Standing Committee Vice Governor, always with a smile on his face. That infectious smile usually belongs to the attitude of a winner.

During this period, many people have noticed that there have been more reports about the mayor, while the municipal party secretary Bao Changrong seems much lower-key and rarely appears in the news media. Those cadres of the agency who are good at capturing signals and have strong political sensitivity have begun to get restless, and all kinds of rumors are spreading below.

The most widely circulated news was that Guo Hui, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, explained the facts of illegal crimes at the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and many things were carried out under the instruction of Secretary Bao. Perhaps, it will not take long before Bao Changrong will be subject to double supervision. Minjiang City is about to face an unprecedented political earthquake. All cadres close to Bao Changrong will be implicated and subject to strict scrutiny.

The rumors are full of eyes and markets. Coupled with Bao Changrong's gloomy face, it seems to confirm the reliability of the rumors. Therefore, the cadres who usually go to the secretary's office every few days and there are fewer cadres who take the initiative to report their thoughts. Even several cadres who Bao Changrong valued the most chose to alienate him, including Lu Gaoyang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General.

Compared to the desertedness of Bao Changrong, Mayor Li Chen became lively. The leaders of various municipal bureaus and district leaders ran there like a market, for fear of missing the last bus to stand. The development of the situation seemed to be just as many people expected. The balance of power in Minjiang City was tilting towards Li Chen bit by bit.

However, Deputy Mayor Wu Fangzhou was not so optimistic. After the investigation of Vice Governor Lu returned to the provincial capital, there was no news. One afternoon, he suddenly called and after chatting for a few simple words, Vice Governor Lu changed the topic and said meaningfully: "Bangzhou, don't build small circles, pay attention to strengthening unity. The situation is very delicate now. In special times, you must know how to protect yourself."

Wu Fangzhou was stunned. In his opinion, Vice Governor Lu's speech was very artistic, usually a little vague and illusory, and requires a very high level of understanding and inspiration to capture the rich connotation. This was the first time I heard such a straightforward speech, which made Wu Fangzhou feel loud.

However, what is certain is that the wind direction is about to change, and Vice Governor Lu’s reminder at this time is actually a kind of relationship and love. While touching Wu Fangzhou, he also felt a little confused. Is something going on in Li Chen?

Or maybe Vice Governor Lu encountered unprecedented pressure?

Apart from this, he couldn't think of any reason to let Vice Governor Lu say such words.

After hanging up the phone, he thought for a long time, hurried downstairs, drove to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, knocked on Wang Siyu's office, sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, then raised his head and whispered: "Secretary Wang, the wind direction is about to change."

Wang Siyu put down the signature pen in his hand, closed the black-skin notebook, walked over with a teacup, patted his shoulder, and smiled and said, "Old Wu, it's not that the wind direction is about to change, but that's a problem with your mentality. Don't take the wind direction too seriously. That's not something we can influence. Instead of looking up at the sky and trying to figure out the best intentions, it's better to bend down and do the work at hand well. Whatever it does for the rest of the matter!"

Wu Fangzhou shook his head gently and said with a wry smile: "Secretary Wang, you said it easily, but every time the wind direction changes, it will indicate the rise and fall of officials. If you cannot adapt to the situation, you will become very passive."

Wang Siyu took a sip of tea, nodded slightly, and smiled and said, "This is the case, but you should not be too sensitive. It is best to keep a normal mind."

Wu Fangzhou frowned and took a breath of cigarette, spitting out a faint circle of eyes from his mouth, pondered for a while, and then whispered: "Secretary Wang, I received the call just now, and there was something wrong with Li Chen."

Wang Siyu was stunned for a moment, then put down the teacup and said quietly: "What do you mean?"

Wu Fangzhou sighed and said with a frustration: "The meaning of Vice Governor Lu is to keep a distance between me and Li Chen and not to participate in his affairs."

Wang Siyu smiled faintly and said softly: "I understand, please keep it confidential."

Wu Fangzhou nodded and smiled bitterly: "The situation changes too quickly, it's really upsetting and unbearable."

Wang Siyu was silent for a while and smiled and said, "There is good news too."

Wu Fangzhou was slightly stunned, turned his head and said in surprise: "Secretary Wang, what good news?"

Wang Siyu smiled, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery in the distance, and pondered: "Mayor Liang is operating smoothly in the provincial capital and has raised startup funds. If the tourism industry can be developed, Minjiang's economy is expected to improve rapidly. This is a big event. Lao Wu, you must also focus on this aspect. With real political achievements, everything else is easy to say."

Wu Fangzhou dusted the ashes, thought for a while, nodded, and sighed: "Secretary Wang, I understand. I took the wrong path before, took a walk, and returned to the starting point. I missed all the time. It's time to wake up."

Wang Siyu smiled slightly and said nothing. This change was expected, but the doubts in his heart were on Ma Shangfeng. What are the plans for the Deputy Secretary Ma who followed Li Chen's footsteps?

After pondering for a while, he withdrew his gaze, turned around, pulled the chair and sat down, looked at Wu Fangzhou on the sofa, and whispered: "Old Wu, what do you think of Secretary Ma?"

Wu Fangzhou leaned sideways, looked at the steaming teacup on the tea table, and pondered: "Secretary Ma is very cunning and can't figure it out. He used to be very conservative, paying attention to the right position, and rarely participated in the fight between the two. However, a year ago, a sudden change occurred and took the initiative to contact Li Chen. The two teamed up to boycott Bao Changrong. If it were not for his support, Li Chen would not be so radical."

Wang Siyu frowned and said softly: "A smart person like Li Chen has never thought that there might be a problem here?"

Wu Fangzhou put out the cigarette butts into the ashtray, clapped his hands, shook his head and said, "Although the two are all alliances, they have their own little abacus and guard against each other. However, Li Chen is not too worried because of the support of Vice Governor Lu and the foundation is solid. Moreover, it is definitely unrealistic to defeat Bao Changrong without Secretary Ma's cooperation."

Wang Siyu nodded, touched a black sign pen, played with it gently, and pondered: "No matter how smart a person is, he will not be able to withstand the temptation in front of him. The chaos in Minjiang is promoted by Li Chen, but the development of the situation is not something he can control. In the end, it is very likely to shoot himself in the foot. You can reflect in time. This is a good thing. Don't have any ideological burden. If necessary, I will speak out."

Wu Fangzhou sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his face, and said softly: "Secretary Wang, if Li Chen leaves Minjiang, I will pull them all over."

Wang Siyu frowned slightly and waved his hand and said, "What are you trying to pull? Isn't it messy enough? Old Wu, if you want to speak like this again, don't come over again!"

Wu Fangzhou was shocked, and said, "Qingzhi said that he left his mouth, which aroused Secretary Wang's displeasure. He hurriedly stood up and said embarrassedly: "Secretary Wang, I don't mean that."

But Wang Siyu lowered his head and focused on reviewing the documents, ignoring him.

Wu Fangzhou was a little discouraged and had to smile bitterly, saying, "Secretary Wang, you can do it first, I will come here another day."

Wang Siyu smiled slightly, raised his head, and whispered: "Old Wu, please send me a message. The police must not be confused. This is the bottom line and it is also his last chance for Huang Haichao."

Wu Fangzhou was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Secretary Wang, Haichao is a smart person, he will understand how to do it."

Wang Siyu didn't say anything, but just looked at Wu Fangzhou with a smile, put down the signature pen in his hand, and waved his hand gently.

Wu Fangzhou was a little dazed, and when he looked at Wang Siyu, there was a little more awe.

Wang Siyu watched him go out the door, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. After pondering for a while, he picked up his pen and wrote the three words "Ma Shangfeng" on his notebook, then circled it and drew a big question mark.

It has reached the final stage. Will the final winner be him on Minjiang's chessboard?

More than ten days later, the wind direction really changed. The most direct signal was that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection terminated the investigation, and Guo Hui, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, returned to Minjiang and resumed his work. This was beyond the expectations of many people. With Guo Hui's return, the officials were extremely careful in their actions, for fear of climbing up the wall, but found that they had taken the wrong ladder.

The day after Guo Hui came back, he called Wang Siyu and asked him to visit his house in the evening. The two drank a lot of wine that night. After getting drunk, Guo Hui took Wang Siyu's hand and said many loyal words. Wang Siyu was also a little moved and sat on the sofa with him and chatted until midnight before leaving drunk.

When he arrived at Minjiang Hotel, Wang Siyu knocked on the room diagonally opposite, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and listened silently to the melodious piano music.

After a while, Zhou Yuan sighed softly, got up and soaked a cup of strong tea, handed it over, and said quietly: "Drink less bars in the future, it is dangerous to drive drunk."

Wang Siyu smiled, picked up the teacup, took a sip, waved his hand, and whispered: "It's okay, this little wine is nothing."

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly, reached out to grab the cigarette from his hand, threw it into the ashtray, and whispered: "Go and take a shower, it smells strange."

Wang Siyu smiled and got up and went into the bathroom. After half an hour, he pushed the door out, but found that the lights had turned off in the living room. His mood began to throbbed. He tiptoed into the bedroom, looked at Zhou Yuan lying on the bedside, and smiled foolishly.

Zhou Yuan smiled and whispered: "Don't think about it anymore, go to the sofa to sleep, there is a blanket in the closet."

Wang Siyu walked to the wardrobe, rubbed for a while, and finally made up his mind, turned around and touched the bed, lifted the quilt, lay in, looked at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and gritted his teeth and said, "No, Yuanyuan, I want to sleep with you!"

Zhou Yuan blushed, turned around, reached out to catch a strand of hair, and said in a naughty way: "Then you have to be honest and don't do anything bad!"
