(I saw Duzhi’s supportive speech, but I was ashamed when I saw it. Thank you for your encouragement and support.)

After reporting on the situation, Chen Huai went back to his room to rest.

He said he was going back to the room to rest, but at this time Chen Huai couldn't close his eyes and sleep. There were too many things in his mind.

Chen Huai could see Tan Qiping's appreciation for him, and just smiled faintly in his heart, thinking: If he heard from others what kind of bird-like Chen Huai was like before, would he still maintain a good impression?

Indeed, if he wants to stay in Donghua, he not only needs to stay in Donghua, but also be able to be transferred to Meixi Town.

Only in this way can he protect Xiao Li nearby and tell her not to be bullied by others; if not, how can he bear to let Xiao Li face the difficult period after "his sudden death" alone?

In order to be able to stay by Xiao Li's side, Chen Huai never thought of leaving Donghua even when he decided to go all out and jump out to disrupt the situation.

Of course, as soon as Chen Mingde died, his connections in Donghua were cut off and he became a lonely person.

Chen Huai thought that he would not have received strong support from the Song family at this time. If he had little qualifications and insisted on staying in Donghua, he would probably be a bench from now on.

But if you think about it carefully, even if you don’t stay in Donghua for Xiao Li and leave Donghua, where can you go?

The Song family and the Shen family will not accept him. It is impossible to transfer back to Yanjing in a short time or go abroad to develop. If you are not familiar with other cities, you will not be able to do anything in life except wandering and being a passerby.

Chen Huai was also a passerby in Donghua before. After more than half a year of visiting Chen Mingde to Donghua, he had not developed any connections. He was arrogant and had even asked him to offend many people. Especially now, he has completely offended Donghua's tiger, Gao Tianhe, Ge Yongqiu and others. It is definitely not a good choice to stay in Donghua.

However, the real "he" has lived on this land for twenty-nine years, familiar with the mountains and waters, rivers and seas on this land, familiar with the people and things, grass and trees on this land, his consciousness and soul, and has too many emotions to let go of this land and the people living in this land, and also know who can be trusted and dependent...

If there is a slight possibility, Chen Huai would rather stay in Donghua to develop.

However, the frustrating experience of being in the city steel mill for several years made Chen Huai unwilling to endure the days when he was trampled on others and could not struggle.

At this time, it was impossible to leverage the power of the Song family and the Shen family. At least from the current point of view, the only turning point he could have in Donghua City was on Wu Haifeng.

Chen Huai was influenced by the family environment and could also be said to have been influenced by his childhood and had more knowledge and sensitivity to the officialdom that ordinary people could not match. It was just because of his personality that although he knew the interests of many things, his rebellious mentality often made him work in a swaying manner.

Chen Huai's true soul and consciousness have experienced enough trampling and tempering at the bottom and have already realized something about life before he can apply for a Ph.D. in economics at Yan University before his death accident, and strive to break out of Donghua's small circle to seek great development...

Chen Huai understood that although Gao Tianhe was the one who dominated all this behind the scenes, Gao Tianhe has always been hiding behind the scenes, making it impossible for people to blame him for not criticizing him.

Tan Qiping also clearly told him that he did not want to make the situation more complicated, so Wu Haifeng, who had been leading the nose, would have to bear the sequelae of this incident, which would likely completely ruin his political life.

Chen Huai and his clothes lay on the bed, too lazy to take off their shoes, so they leaned on the glass table beside the bed, and secretly sighed: Officialdom has never been a place where right and wrong is concerned.

He didn't know how Tan Qiping would report to the province in detail. This was not something he could control, but as long as he didn't beat Wu Haifeng to death with one stick, Wu Haifeng should have to bear his love.

Not to mention the obvious hint that Wu Haifeng pressed his hand when he left Building 6 just now, even if it was easier to stay in Donghua, Chen Huai didn't want Wu Haifeng to be hit too fatally. He hoped that he still had the ability to bite the dog with Gao Tianhe dog...

Thinking of this, Chen Huai laughed again. It was said that people died and birds were facing the sky. They were worried about what these things did, just like making good bets and waiting to be revealed.

Chen Huai reached out and touched his pants pocket, and it was empty. He remembered that cigarettes, wallets, etc. were still left in the car, so he got up and went downstairs to get it...

***************

After Chen Huai left, Tan Qiping picked up the phone and truthfully reported to the province the preliminary conclusion of Chen Mingde's death.

It is said to be "true", but the statement is very sophisticated. If it should be omitted, it will not be mentioned. It is only said that after further confirmation and verification, the Donghua Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government determined that Chen Mingde was irritated during the shower and died in time due to rescue.

Tan Qiping also knew in his heart that the province would not want the situation to be complicated, and that it would be able to handle Chen Mingde's aftermath simply and neatly. It is the most important thing not to leave any sequelae to the province; Chen Mingde died of illness while taking a shower, which is the news that the province hopes to hear the most.

Chen Huai inferred that Ge Yongqiu and Peng Yong might have done something to mess with the muddy waters under Gao Tianhe's instructions, and Tan Qiping also believed that this possibility was possible.

Speaking of which, Gao Tianhe and others' behavior is more despicable and worse than Wu Haifeng who was just vague about the cause of Chen Mingde's death. But this is just an inference and has no evidence to support it. In addition, if you don't want to complicate the situation, you can only hide some things in your heart and not mention them.

Tan Qiping had no conflicts with Donghua City, nor did he want to gain any benefits from such sensitive matters, nor did he want to involve too much. Therefore, he had neither the intention of favoring Gao Tianhe nor Wu Haifeng. He first ensured that the province's intentions could be implemented.

Regarding the cause of Chen Mingde's death, Wu Haifeng was vague when reporting to the province. He must bear this responsibility, and Tan Qiping could not excuse him. However, Tan Qiping underestimated other matters, and even did not mention the details of Wu Haifeng kicking Chen Huai out in advance. Doing so would be very interesting to Wu Haifeng.

As for whether Wu Haifeng can keep his seat, it depends on how he operates the provincial relationship; as for whether the province will vigorously rectify Donghua's team, Tan Qiping didn't think much about it.

After reporting to the province, Tan Qiping dialed the number of Yanjing again.

******************

On the other end of the phone, Song Qiaosheng had been waiting for the middle of the night.

Although Song Qiaosheng is over fifty years old, he is full of energy and does not feel tired at all because he stays up late at night.

Hearing the phone ringing, Song Qiaosheng picked up the microphone more agilely than the secretary: "Well, Lao Tan, I'm not resting yet, just waiting for your phone number..."

"Minister Song, the Song family is really talented..."

Tan Qiping's cheerful voice came from the phone, causing Song Qiaosheng to relax for a long time, and with a smile, he said, "Old Tan, I've been keeping the phone for the middle of the night. Are you in the mood to make a joke about me, how are the matter dealing with it?"

Now Song Qiaosheng is the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Central Committee. He is only fifty years old. Going forward, he will be a chief official in the border area. He can still be in charge of the ministries and commissions even if he stays in the central government. Although Tan Qiping and Song Qiaosheng are old friends, they have not met for many years. His official position is inferior to Song Qiaosheng, and he will also be able to grasp the right position when speaking. He will not really think that they can communicate with each other in the same generation:

"The matter is now clear. Comrade Mingde is a pity. Taking a shower at noon caused a heart attack and missing the opportunity for rescue. I just reported to the province. The province means that I stayed in Donghua and presided over Comrade Mingde's funeral with the comrades of Donghua. What instructions do you have?..."

"Chen Mingde is the old man's secretary. We all know the character. It's good to handle things like this. What can I give me some good instructions for the matters of Huaihai Province?" Song Qiaosheng spoke with a sense of moderation. Even if Donghua District poured dirty water on Chen Mingde's body after Chen Mingde's death, he was very angry and he could not interfere in the matters of Huaihai Province to avoid being disgusted. He also said, "Shen Huai didn't cause you any trouble, right?"

He didn't want to mention Shen Huai at first, but Shen Huai was Chen Mingde's secretary. Tan Qiping probably had contact with Shen Huai in Donghua, so he said the first thing he said was "The Song family's talented people emerged."

The so-called family scandals should not be made public. Outsiders do not know what Shen Huai's virtue is, and Song Qiaosheng is still clear about it. He thought to himself: Who is the capable person who can only cause trouble?

Tan Qiping said: "Shen Huai from the old Song family is really not simple. He stood up in time and broke the situation, so that things can turn around so quickly..."

Tan Qiping had no prejudice against Shen Huai. Shen Huai's performance at night, his words, and his grasp of the timing were all seen and heard with his own eyes, so he felt it sincerely. These words were sincere evaluations, and he did not feel any exaggeration.

It wasn't Tan Qiping's words that came over by phone, but Song Qiaosheng felt a different feeling after hearing them:

Song Qiaosheng thought Tan Qiping didn't know Shen Huai's bottom, and just thought that Shen Huai was a child of the Song family, and deliberately said a few words of praise on the phone to win the likes of this side.

Song Qiaosheng smiled and said, "This kid just wants him to be more scrupulous outside and not cause trouble. I'll thank God. Just don't cause trouble for Lao Tan..." After saying that, he was unwilling to mention Shen Huai more, and the topic turned to other aspects.

Tan Qiping was able to obey Song Qiaosheng's indifference to Shen Huai, and he was a little confused at first, but then he felt relieved: Shen Huai was just Song Qiaosheng's nephew after all, and Song Qiaosheng himself has two adult sons. How could his nephew not be as close to his own son?

Tan Qiping thought to himself: Perhaps the relationship within the Song family is more complicated than it seems on the surface, and large families usually have this problem...
