Ge Yongqiu picked up the phone and dialed Gao Tianhe's special line. He briefly reported what had happened at the city steel mill.

Zhou Dazui was sitting across from his desk when he heard Gao Tianhe's voice on the phone. Obviously, Gao Tianhe was furious.

No chief would be calm after hearing that the municipal government staff had gone to a company to fight. Big Mouth Zhou could vaguely hear Gao Tianhe ordering Ge Yongqiu over the phone in a loud voice,""Report this matter directly to Chief Chen and see how he handles it!”

Big Mouth Zhou also knew that the overall situation was important, but he was still angry. When he heard Gao Tianhe directly ask his brother-in-law to expose the incident to Chen Mingde, he looked at his brother-in-law with hope.

Gao Tianhe wanted Ge Yongqiu to report this matter directly to Chen Mingde, so naturally, Chen Mingde would not openly cover up for Shen Huai.

Ge Yongqiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He knew that when Chief Gao heard about this, he would definitely be furious. He probably wouldn't think too deeply about the matter for the time being…

After waiting for four to five seconds, when Gao Tianhe calmed down on the other end of the phone, Ge Yongqiu said,""I'm just afraid that Chief Chen will make use of this matter to make another fuss…"

Zhou Dazui didn't hear what Gao Tianhe said on the phone.

Ge Yongqiu continued,"Shen Huai, this person who doesn't have a brain, said a lot of strange things at the city steel mill today. He pointed his finger at the city steel mill's business failures in the past few years." With Shen Huai's water, he shouldn't be able to see so deep. He was afraid that Chief Chen was studying the problem of the city steel mill behind his back. If Chief Chen were to use the investigation of the fall as a breakthrough, the implications would be a little big…"

At this point, Ge Yongqiu stopped. Zhou Dazui didn't expect to hear any sound from the microphone. It must be Ge Yongqiu's words that caused Gao Tianhe to think deeply.

After a long period of silence, Ge Yongqiu spoke again,"" Yes, I think so too. Shen Huai is causing trouble at the city steel mill. Maybe it was Chief Chen who secretly instigated him…Alright, I got it, I got it." Ge Yongqiu hung up the phone after saying " I got it."

"Chief Gao, what are your orders? Are we just going to let this matter go?”Even if he didn't pursue the matter for the sake of the big picture, Big Mouth Zhou found it hard to accept that this matter had just been quietly let go. If he didn't have an explanation, how could he face others in the city steel mill in the future?

"Let's not forget about it. What do you want?”Ge Yongqiu was also indignant because he had to suppress his anger. He raised his eyebrows and looked at his good-for-nothing brother-in-law." Even if there's no conspiracy behind this, what do you think you can do to this bastard if you expose this matter to Chen Mingde?”

"Why can't I?" Zhou Dazui's anger had yet to subside. When he heard his brother-in-law say such soft words again, he could not help but get angry. He shouted in a hoarse voice," Isn't Shen Huai just a dog by Chen Mingde's side? No matter how much Chen Mingde defended this dog, he would at least give it a few strokes to give everyone an explanation!”

"What kind of tone is that? You're angry at me!" Ge Yongqiu berated sternly. He could not suppress Shen Huai, but he did not believe that he could not suppress his brother-in-law, Big Mouth Zhou. He glared at him.

Big Mouth Zhou was still afraid of Ge Yongqiu. Ge Yongqiu's voice was rough, and his imposing manner was broken. He sat there hunched and said,"Why would I be angry at you? Although I was the one who slapped my face like this, in the end, didn't I lose face for you? Brother-in-law, you've never been bullied like this in Dong Hua City. If we can't do it openly, then I'll find a few people in the dark and seize the opportunity to put this beast in a bag and beat him up. We can't just let it go like this."

"Nonsense. If you mess around like this and cause trouble, be careful that no one can protect you." Ge Yongqiu stared at his brother-in-law with a sharp gaze. He was afraid that he would do something behind his back, so he suppressed his temper and said to him," This Shen Huai is not as simple as you think…"

"How is it not simple?"

" Chen Mingde was airdropped from the province to Donghua. We have to investigate him thoroughly," Ge Yongqiu said." Chen Mingde brought Shen Huai from the province to Donghua. Do you think we will miss him?"”

"..." Zhou Dazui was silent. He had heard from Ge Yongqiu that Chen Mingde's visit to Donghua was likely to threaten Gao Tianhe's position. It was normal for Gao Tianhe to send someone to investigate Chen Mingde.

He knew that Chen Mingde must have a backer, but he did not understand why he could not touch a dog by Chen Mingde's side.

"Before Chen Mingde came to Dong Hua, he was the deputy director of the Provincial Planning and Economics Committee, and Shen Huai was a lecturer at the Provincial School of Economics for more than a year. She didn't know if he had come back from studying abroad at some lousy university. In short, he had no ability or business. He could only laze around in the Provincial School of Economics. It was called teaching, but it was actually just that. Just before he came to Donghua, he got a female student from the Provincial School of Economics pregnant, but he didn't want to take responsibility, so he forced her to have an abortion. In the end, she cut her pulse and died..."

"Damn it, he's really not a good bird!”Zhou Dazui cursed. He did not think of looking at himself in the mirror.

"This matter caused a huge commotion in the Provincial School of Economics. There were even a number of teachers who went on strike and demanded that Shen Huai be expelled. However, the Provincial School of Economics only suspended him in the end to reflect on his actions. " This matter didn't even take two months before Shen Huai and Chen Mingde came to Donghua…" Ge Yongqiu told his brother-in-law about some of the things he knew.

Big Mouth Zhou smacked his lips. He might not dare to mess around like this even if he relied on his brother-in-law in the city steel mill.

" Shen Huai has only been transferred to Dong Hua for a few months, and he is not honest." Ge Yongqiu was unwilling to say that he could not suppress his subordinates. When he thought of Shen Huai's face, he could not help but frown." He is very frivolous in the city government. There was even an old director of the municipal bureau who came to the city to look for Chen Mingde to approve the report. Because his shoes were stained with mud, he entered Chen Mingde's office and pointed at the little bastard's face to ask him to clean his shoes..."

"Who is it?" Big Mouth Zhou asked.

"Don't ask around who it is. It's not a matter of pride. Ge Yongqiu had been an official for half his life, so he was more cautious than others thought. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become Gao Tianhe's confidant. He then said,"This little bastard usually doesn't put me in his eyes. He even has feelings for Zhou Yu in the open and in the dark…"

"Zhou Yu? That bastard still dared to openly have designs on Zhou Yu. Wasn't Zhou Yu his superior?”Zhou Dazui opened his mouth. When he thought of Zhou Yu's charming face, he couldn't help but drool.

"Humph!"

Ge Yongqiu's snort was filled with disdain, envy, and sourness.

In this officialdom, it was very difficult for beautiful women, especially those whose husbands were paralyzed in bed because of a car accident, to avoid right and wrong, but Zhou Yu was an exception.

Unlike Big Mouth Zhou, Zhou Yu, the deputy secretary general of the municipal government, came from the Zhou family, which had a wide network in Dong Hua City.

Not to mention the elders of the Zhou family, Zhou Yu had many brothers and sisters. They were either in business or politics. They were all well-known in Dong Hua City and had a lot of connections with the province.

Zhou Yu himself had entered the municipal government very early on, and later married into the family of the former municipal party secretary as his daughter-in-law. Even though she was a woman, she had a successful career in the Dong Hua officialdom. She was also very competitive. She was not even thirty years old, but she was already the deputy secretary general of the municipal government.

Don't say that the Zhou family didn't allow outsiders to bully them; Zhou Yu's father-in-law was the former secretary of the municipal party committee. Although he had retired, his influence was still there. Who would be so blind as to have designs on his daughter-in-law?

Big mouth Zhou didn't expect that Shen Huai, this bastard, would come to Dong Hua City and actually have his eyes on Zhou Yu.

Of course, no matter how ignorant Big Mouth Zhou was, he knew one thing: If an arrogant person was not trampled to death, it meant that he still had the capital to continue being arrogant.

Big Mouth Zhou no longer mentioned the matter of finding someone to secretly plot against Shen Huai, but he was also curious about the background of such a beast. He said,"What exactly is this kid's background?"

"The files from the Organization Department only said that his parents left him when he was young, and his mother died when he was twelve. His grandparents were his guardians after that. They went abroad after studying in Yanjing and returned three years ago. He didn't go back to Yanjing, but stayed in Huaihai for more than half a year before he entered the Provincial School of Economics as a lecturer. It's a job interview, but someone is working hard behind my back…"

"How old is this kid?"

"Twenty-four." Ge Yongqiu had been secretly paying attention to Shen Huai for a long time. The information in the file was naturally said casually. However, the file was too simple, so no one could see anything.

" Even so, I can't tell how strong his background is. He can't be the son of a big shot from the central government, right?" Zhou Dazui thought self-righteously and said," Since Chen Mingde is so protective of him, could there be some other relationship that can't be said?”

Ge Yongqiu knew that his brother-in-law was brainless, but he didn't expect him to still be able to grasp some tricks. He thought that he had some training as a middle-level cadre in the city's steel mill.

Secrets had always been a shortcut to official promotion. Being close to the core of power and easy to get promoted was one thing. On the other hand, as the leader's confidant, he could share the power that he should not have at his level:

Just like Shen Huai, although he was only a section chief, he was able to beat Big Mouth Zhou in front of Ge Yongqiu without any restraint. In the end, he shared the power and dignity that should have belonged to the deputy chief of the Standing Committee, Chen Mingde.

Because of this, the positions of secretaries in powerful organizations were often occupied by young people who had a strong background but lacked experience and needed training.

However, no matter what, when the leader chose a secretary, he would choose someone who was cautious, reliable, and capable.

Not to mention Shen Huai's eccentric, frivolous, and trouble-making personality, he was actually an ignorant, incompetent, and incapable person.

Chen Mingde was a scholar-type official. He paid attention to work efficiency and was strict with his subordinates. It could even be said that he was harsh, but he could tolerate someone like Shen Huai being his secretary. It was really puzzling.

Some people in the municipal government even secretly said that Shen Huai might be Chen Mingde's illegitimate child...

Isn't that so? Other than this relationship, there was no other explanation for why Chen Mingde would force himself to use this little bastard as his secretary.

Looking closely at Chen Mingde's resume, he had been working in the central ministry before Shen Huai left Yanjing to study abroad. Later, he was transferred to Huaihai. Before entering the Provincial Planning Committee, he had worked in the Provincial School of Economics for a period of time.

Comparing Chen Mingde's and Shen Huai's records, if one were to be a little more careful, one would be able to see the oddity in them…

To say that Shen Huai's background was so strong that Chen Mingde had to tolerate him, unless Shen Huai was the son of a big shot in the central government.

However, if the children of the big shots of the central government wanted to enter the official career, even if they were also secretaries, other than the political, military, and national people's congress, there were still many positions for the children of the big shots of the central government to train. Why would they come to a place like Dong Hua, which was only at the prefecture-level and where birds didn't shit?
