Chapter 1954 Exposing one’s shortcomings

After receiving Tang Shaoying's call, Qian Xilin immediately asked, "Secretary, can I take action now?"

Tang Shaoying said, "Okay, but you have to remember that Liu Fusheng also worked in the public security system and achieved good results. When you come into contact with him, you must be careful and cautious, and never reveal the relationship between us."

Qian Xilin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Liu Fusheng and I are only keeping in touch and not discussing substantive issues. I will go to Chaojiang City tomorrow."

The next day, Liu Fusheng met Qian Xilin in the office of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee Secretary.

The reason Qian Xilin came here was that he was planning to hold a commendation meeting for the provincial public security system, and the venue was Chaojiang.

Liu Fusheng said: "Director Qian, meetings of this level have always been held in Yangcheng. I'm surprised you chose Chaojiang."

Qian Xilin smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, there are no outsiders here, so I will tell you the truth. I, Qian, am a person who knows how to repay kindness. Similarly, I respect people with real talent and knowledge."

"You risked your life to save my son from the criminals. I am very grateful for that. In addition, I am also familiar with the several major cases you solved in Fengliao Province. I admire you very much."

"After arriving in Chaojiang, you personally supervised the arson case of the Guest House, organized the Thunder Operation, effectively cracked down on crimes in the three cities of Chaojiang, and punished a series of corrupt government officials. I won't list all of these. Anyway, I really want to get closer to Secretary Liu."

"Secretary Liu may be in some trouble now. If I don't do something within my power, I will not be able to justify it."

Liu Fusheng heard this and laughed, "Director Qian, you are exaggerating. The difficulty you are referring to should be the economic reform in Chaojiang area, right?"

Qian Xilin said, "Yes, in addition to economic reform, I also know that Secretary Liu wants to carry out clan reform and build a railway and highway from Jiyang City to Jiangtou City. I would like to express my opinion here. Although I am not from Chaojiang, the Qian family is also a well-known clan in East Guangdong Province. I am well aware of the resistance to clan reform. As long as Secretary Liu is determined to do this, our Qian family will be the first to express support on behalf of clans outside Chaojiang, and set an example and start reform."

Liu Fusheng was moved. Qian Xilin's favor was really a big one.

The Qian family is indeed quite influential in East Guangdong Province. Although not at the top like the Xie family, it is almost on par with the Zhao family.

If Director Qian could express his support for Liu Fusheng's reforms outside Chaojiang as a member of the clan, then Liu Fusheng would face much less resistance.

At least the opposing voices outside Chaojiang have to weigh the influence of the provincial public security chief.

If it was last month, Qian Xilin's statement would have been like timely help, which would have been of great help to Liu Fusheng. Now, it is somewhat like icing on the cake.

Everyone knows that Liu Fusheng has established a good relationship with the Xie family through the internal exercises of the Guangdong East Military Region, and the clan reform has also been approved by the Xie family.

The opposition voices in the province would naturally be much smaller when the Xie family agreed to something, and it would no longer be important whether there was a Qian family or not.

But no matter what, Liu Fusheng had to welcome Qian Xilin's attitude.

He smiled and said, "Director Qian, you are thoughtful. Saving Master Ling was just a coincidence. I didn't expect you to help me so much. I really feel ashamed of it."

Qian Xilin waved his hand and said, "I know it's a little late to make this statement now, but whether Secretary Liu believes it or not, I have had this idea for a long time... In addition, the commendation conference for the public security system was held in Chaojiang, and I also wanted to create momentum for Chaojiang City and contribute to the development of Chaojiang."

Qian Xilin spoke so sincerely, Liu Fusheng certainly couldn't refuse his face.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Director Qian held the commendation meeting in Chaojiang City. This will definitely be a very meaningful and good thing for the image of Chaojiang."

Qian Xilin said: "There is one more thing. I heard that the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government have begun to seriously study the issue of planning to build roads and railways in the Chaojiang area. The report submitted by Secretary Liu is likely to take a turn for the better and will be approved in the near future."

Qian Xilin is the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and many people know that he is very likely to be promoted to vice governor. What he says is highly credible because he often attends various work meetings of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government.

Liu Fusheng was silent for a moment, then said, "According to the information I received, Deputy Secretary Tang of the Provincial Party Committee has decided to postpone the project for a while. The road and railway plan in Chaojiang area will not be approved until at least the end of the year."

Qian Xilin smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, you must have full confidence. Deputy Secretary Tang does have a lot of influence in the Standing Committee, but Commander Xie of the Guangdong East Military Region has always been supporting you. I don't need to say more about the influence of the Xie family, right?"

Liu Fusheng pondered and did not speak immediately.

Qian Xilin continued, "Commander Xie not only had a heated debate with Deputy Secretary Tang at the Standing Committee meeting, but also made many arrangements for Secretary Liu and Chaojiang after the meeting. Don't you know anything about this?"

This question was asked very skillfully. If Liu Fusheng directly denied it, it would inevitably give Qian Xilin the feeling that he was not familiar with Commander Xie and did not have the full support of the Xie family. This was equivalent to exposing his own trump card.

When it is uncertain whether Qian Xilin is an enemy or a friend, most people with high emotional intelligence will not deny it directly. At most, they will change the subject and talk about something else, avoiding the issue.

Qian Xilin judged that Liu Fusheng would definitely do so.

However, Liu Fusheng said bluntly: "I really don't know about this matter. Director Qian may have some misunderstandings about the relationship between me and Commander Xie. In fact, I don't have a close relationship with the Xie family. I am only the secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee. I don't have much influence in East Guangdong Province. The Xie family doesn't need to go to great lengths for me. To put it bluntly, I still have a heavy military order on my back. If I can't complete the military order, I'm afraid I will be transferred soon. If Director Qian was Commander Xie, he wouldn't offend the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee for a person who can't even sit firmly in the position of secretary of the municipal party committee, right?"

"This..." Qian Xilin was slightly stunned when he heard this, not knowing how to respond. He believed that Liu Fusheng was a smart man who was good at dealing with people, had high emotional intelligence, and would not make mistakes on key issues. When talking to him, every sentence should have a clear purpose.

He didn't expect that Liu Fusheng would say such self-exposing words. At the same time, he couldn't judge whether what Liu Fusheng said was true or false.

Does this guy consider himself a close friend, or does he simply not understand the ways of the world?
