Chapter 227
Only by making this matter an "iron case" can we make those "people with ulterior motives shut up!"
After arranging all matters properly, Wen Tao received a summons from the municipal party secretary Sun Zhijie as expected.
This was actually completely within Wentao's expectations. Even if the secretary did not contact him proactively, he planned to meet with Sun Zhijie and report the relevant situation to him in detail, while also testing Sun Zhijie's attitude towards the matter.
At this point, Wen Tao was already prepared for a "hard fight" with Sun Zhijie...
What Wentao didn't expect was that the place where Secretary Sun summoned him was not the "Secretary's Office" but a "drinking party".
As soon as he got off work in the afternoon, Wentao came to Sun Zhijie's office early to wait for him.
"Secretary Sun, who's attending the drinking party tonight?"
Wentao asked casually.
Wen Tao spent the whole afternoon thinking about what the municipal party secretary Sun Zhijie meant.
Wen Tao wondered: Could this drinking party be a setup by the Tang family? After all, when he was leaving, he saw with his own eyes that Mr. Tang picked up his phone and called Sun Zhijie.
Sun Zhijie didn't hide anything and said directly, "The wine party tonight was organized by the old man of the Tang family. Mayor Chen Liang and I will be attending, as well as Director Qi from the Provincial Construction Department. He is a cadre who has worked outside our city."
Then he added, "Mr. Tang specifically asked me to bring you along. I guess he wants to meet this rising anti-corruption star in our Fangcheng City!" Sun Zhijie said with a smile.
At this time, Sun Zhijie was not aware of the conflict between Wentao and the Tang family, and just thought that it was Tang Rufeng's invitation.
Wen Tao sneered in his heart. At this moment, he understood that tonight's dinner might be a Hongmen Banquet.
But he still pretended to be confused and asked, "Secretary Sun, don't you know what happened today?"
Sun Zhijie was stunned when he heard this, then asked in confusion: "Oh?"
Wen Tao then told them about his conflict with the Tang family and how Tang Ming was currently being held in the interrogation room of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
After listening to this, Sun Zhijie frowned and fell into deep thought.
He also realized that tonight's drinking party was probably a "Hongmen Banquet" specifically targeting Wentao, and Director Qi from the Provincial Construction Department was probably there to support the Tang family.
......
In the private room, Tang Rufeng and the second and third sons of the Tang family were chatting with a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man must be Director Qi of the Provincial Construction Department.
Director Qi looks to be about fifty years old. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, has a kind face, and exudes a scholarly air.
He talked with the Tang brothers with a smile, and laughed heartily from time to time.
At this time, Sun Zhijie, along with Chen Liang and Wen Tao, walked over quickly. With a warm smile on his face, Sun Zhijie extended his hand to Director Qi and said, "Director Qi, welcome to Fangcheng! I wanted to pick you up in person, but something came up and I can't get away. I'm so sorry!"
Although Sun Zhijie and the director were both officials at the department level, the era of large-scale construction was a golden age for the director of the Construction Department. Many large local projects were awaiting approval from the "director," and their value was self-evident.
Therefore, Sun Zhijie was also particularly polite to the director.
Director Qi stood up, shook hands with Sun Zhijie, and said with a smile: "Secretary Sun, you are too polite. Fangcheng is my hometown. There is no need to mobilize such a large force."
Mayor Chen Liang and Wen Tao also stepped forward to shake hands and greet.
Director Qi paused when he heard Wentao's name. It seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
He was the new director and had never met Wentao.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, they took their seats.
Tang Jun, the third son of the Tang family, poured the wine in circles.
When it was Wentao's turn, he quickly declined, "Boss Tang, I have a mission tonight and can't drink. Sorry!"
