Chapter 2697 Avoidance Principle

When he arrived in Yanjing, it was impossible for Mr. Tang to shock everyone by just keeping silent.

Many people thought that Liu Fusheng made this move in order to avoid Mr. Tang's edge. When the focus of the game shifted to the north, the investigation in eastern Guangdong would be much easier.

Only Liu Fusheng knew that he made this decision in order to force Mr. Tang to show up in public.

Liu Fusheng could not make this decision on his own, even though he was the head of the special investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. In terms of his position, he was at most a member of the Party Leadership Group of Guangdong Province, and he was not even on the Standing Committee. Such a major matter had to be approved by the Standing Committee.

Just when Liu Fusheng arrived at the Guangdong East Provincial Party Committee at the agreed time, a black car suddenly stopped not far from him.

At the same time Liu Fusheng got out of the car, a man who was not young but had a straight back and extraordinary demeanor got out of the car.

"Liu Sheng, please wait a moment."

The man called Liu Fusheng and introduced himself, "Hello, Liu Sheng, our leader wants to talk to you about something."

Liu Fusheng asked with a smile: "Who is your leader?"

The man said, "The chief's surname is Tang, and he's from Yanjing."

This person was none other than Uncle Wang, the bodyguard of Mr. Tang. As for Mr. Tang, he was also sitting in the car, staring at Liu Fusheng.

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "It's Chief Tang. I'm sorry, but I have an important meeting to attend. I can only ask Chief Tang to wait for a moment. How about this, after the meeting, I will go to meet Chief Tang in person."

After saying that, he took a step forward.

Uncle Wang frowned and said, "Liu Sheng, Chief Tang wants to see you."

Liu Fusheng said, "I'm really busy right now. Also, the matter I'm about to discuss doesn't allow me to see Chief Tang at this time. Chief Tang should understand the principle of recusal better than I do, right?"

"..."

Uncle Wang was speechless after hearing what Liu Fusheng said.

At this moment, Mr. Tang suddenly opened the car door and walked out.

"Xiao Wang, please don't delay Liu Sheng's work. He's right. Rules are rules. Officials are busy with work, so how can they have time to care about an idle wanderer like me?"

Old Master Tang looked at Liu Fusheng with a half-smile and said, "Liu Sheng, you are so young and promising, yet so unruly. When I see you, I know I am old."

Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "You are an old horse in the stable, with ambitions to run a thousand miles."

Mr. Tang sighed and said, "If you don't have time to see me, I won't force you. But since I'm here, I have to meet some old friends and old subordinates. I don't think Liu Sheng has any objections to me doing this, do you?"

Liu Fusheng said: "This is your freedom."

Mr. Tang said nothing more and walked into the provincial party committee office building.

Uncle Wang quickly followed, frowning and asking, "Commander, are you just going to let him go like this?"

Elder Tang said calmly, "He doesn't give me face. Should I continue to make myself miserable? You don't have to worry. Liu Fusheng will come to see me soon."

Elsewhere, Zhou Xiaozhe also walked up to Liu Fusheng and said, "Is that Mr. Tang? He's truly extraordinary. His presence here today clearly indicates ill intentions."

Liu Fusheng said, "This is also my first time dealing with Mr. Tang, so I'm taking this opportunity to test his abilities."

"what?"

Zhou Xiaozhe was a little surprised. "Testing Chief Tang's ability?" What kind of talk was that? Was there any need to test Chief Tang's ability?

Liu Fusheng said, "How could Mr. Tang let me show off my power on our first meeting? I think he'll definitely show me some of his strength next."

Zhou Xiaozhe said, "Mr. Tang is a prominent figure, but this is Guangdong, not Beijing. You are also the head of the special investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Even based on the principle of recusation, he cannot interfere with our work."

Liu Fusheng shook his head slightly, said nothing, and walked towards the office building.

Not long after, Zhou Xiaozhe realized how ignorant his words were.

He contacted various leaders and returned to Liu Fusheng with a bitter face, saying, "It's terrible. All the provincial party committee officials who were originally scheduled to meet with us have gone to meet with Mr. Tang. Some have even told me that the meeting needs to be postponed. As for the specific time, we can only decide after the leaders finish their important work."

Liu Fusheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Do you believe me now?"

Zhou Xiaozhe nodded and said, "I really didn't expect that Elder Tang would use this trick, and so many provincial leaders would give him such face."

Liu Fusheng said, "Ordinary people still pay attention to social etiquette, let alone them? Although investigating Tang Shaoying is a good thing that will please the people, Tang Shaoying has the support of the Tang family and this old man Tang. When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. That's the truth."

"Mr. Tang is quite resourceful. After arriving in eastern Guangdong, he didn't contact anyone, leaving no one in the dark about what he was planning. His status was enough to intimidate many people, creating an invisible pressure. Under such pressure, Mr. Tang simply asked to chat with the provincial leaders, which was a great achievement, then a gentle one."

"Which provincial leader is willing to wade into Tang Shaoying's mess?"

Zhou Xiaozhe sighed, "That's really impressive... What do you think we should do now? All the leaders have left us hanging. If Mr. Tang comes every day, how can we send Tang Shaoying to Yanjing?"

Liu Fusheng said, "Yes, since Tang Shaoying can't be sent to Beijing and the case has been delayed, things are about to take a turn. Mr. Tang has a plan. What he wants now is the attitude of the provincial leaders in Guangdong. As long as their attitude is clear, he will use all means to cut off the evidence of Tang Shaoying's crimes."

"By then, Tang Shaoying will at most be charged with dereliction of duty and misusing personnel. For everything else, there will be a scapegoat. As long as Tang Shaoying is safe, the Tang family will be safe, and this crisis will be overcome. On the contrary, it will be difficult for us to achieve our goal."

Zhou Xiaozhe said, "Earlier, Mayor Yang of Pengcheng called and told me that Mr. Li's attitude had changed. He used to be very cooperative and had a good attitude, saying that any conditions we proposed could be negotiated. But now, Mr. Li's attitude has become very tough, and all negotiations have failed to make any progress."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to those who change with the wind."

After a pause, he looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time. Let's go talk to Mr. Tang."

A few minutes later.

Liu Fusheng brought Zhou Xiaozhe to the reception room where Mr. Tang and the provincial party committee leaders were.

"I know all the leaders are busy with their work, and I have no intention of disturbing them. However, since Mr. Tang has come to eastern Guangdong, as a junior, I have to say hello."

Liu Fusheng said with a smile after entering the door.

The reception room suddenly became quiet, and all the provincial party committee leaders turned their eyes to Mr. Tang.

Elder Tang glanced at Liu Fusheng calmly and said, "That's not what Comrade Liu Fusheng said just now at the entrance of the Provincial Party Committee. Don't you think you no longer need to abide by the principle of recusation?"
