Chapter 50 Let's see how things go.
Dawei, sitting opposite him, felt somewhat awkward.
Two grown men alone in a room, and he even held hands?
However, judging from Wu Maocai's crying, he was indeed speaking from the heart.
However, David was still worried.
Will today's surrender be met with tomorrow's betrayal?
Wu Maocai has wavered multiple times; such a person is generally not going to be reused.
However, if we don't use him, who else can we use?
If we don't use him, how do we explain it to Minister Xu, since Minister Xu recommended Wu Maocai?
Moreover, Wu Maocai made a great contribution to Xie Changhe's downfall. If it were the materials he collected and provided, Xie Changhe would not have been placed under investigation so quickly, and Wu Maocai would not be sitting in this position today.
David frowned, then thought about it again.
Wu Maocai was just a scholar who came from a humble farming family.
In the corrupt and chaotic officialdom of Yuanshan County, he was just like himself, a rootless duckweed. What could he do?
His adversaries were ruthless; they even targeted his son.
With his weakness exposed, how could he not give in?
Could Wu Maocai's seemingly petty and inconsistent behavior be, to some extent, due to the fact that his superiors were not strong enough to protect him?
If he were strong enough, would Wu Mao stop wavering?
Would they then settle down and follow me?
Just as Wu Maocai just said, he is waiting for an opportunity.
Could this opportunity be the emergence of a strong leader?
Thinking of this, Dawei pulled his hand away from Wu Maocai's and handed Wu Maocai a tissue again.
"You call me brother, so I'll call you 'brother' too."
Brother Cai, we've known each other for quite a while, and we even worked together for a period of time.
I am well aware of your capabilities.
I really want to team up with you.
But... you have to put my mind at ease first.
My current situation can be described as being besieged on all sides and surrounded by enemies.
One wrong move and I'll be smashed to pieces!
David tapped the table with his finger.
"Do you think this is a good location?"
Not long ago, County Chief Qiao sat here, and I sat in your seat to report to him.
Everything is still vivid in my mind.
Wu Maocai seemed a bit impatient just now. Before Dawei could even express his opinion, he started calling him brother and saying it was out of respect for County Chief Qiao.
This performance made Dawei even more worried.
Upon hearing this, Wu Maocai sniffled, wiped away his tears, and nodded in understanding.
"Dawei, just tell me, who do you want to mess with?"
Tell me a name.
Watch how I do it and he's done.
"Words are useless; let's see how things go."
Wu Maocai needs to show some real commitment; empty promises and boasting won't convince Dawei.
The Warlords.
Only in this way can I gain David's trust.
David clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and pressed his lips down, his face contorted with murderous intent.
The muscles at the corners of my mouth relaxed.
David wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. Instead, he dipped his finger into the cup, dipped it in some tea, and wrote a word on the glass of the desk.
Wu Maocai took a closer look and saw that it was the character "Lin". He picked up a tissue and wiped away the tea stains.
Lin Wangyou.
Row.
"Dawei, hand him over to me."
The first person Dawei thought of was Li Taoying.
This woman was Zhou Xiangzhang's loyal follower and played an extremely important role in Zhou Xiangzhang's camp. However, there had to be a female member in the county standing committee.
If Xiao Lili replaces Shao Zhen'an and becomes the Organization Minister, she will be a female member of the Standing Committee. However, Xiao Lili's future is uncertain, and we need to wait and see.
Therefore, Li Taoying cannot be moved easily for the time being, as there is no suitable candidate to replace her.
Moreover, Li Taoying is an extremely treacherous person.
She usually acts like an upright and incorruptible official, but in private she presents herself as a virtuous and gentle lady, which is quite deceptive.
Among Zhou Xiangzhang's camp, Li Taoying has the highest emotional intelligence and IQ, and is also highly educated, a former teacher, and has frequent trips to the provincial capital, making her relationships more complex.
In contrast, Lin Wangyou, a seasoned veteran of officialdom, seemed somewhat simpler.
Lin Wangyou offended many people, and almost all of Zhou Xiangzhang's opponents fell at Lin Wangyou's hands.
"Have Xiao Zhao come to my office tomorrow morning."
Wu Maocai showed his sincerity, and Dawei responded by preparing to appoint Xiao Zhao as a liaison.
"Okay, County Chief Chen, I'll go back and think of a solution. Give me a month."
"I'll give you a week at most."
Wu Maocai swallowed hard, then steeled himself: "It'll be a week. I'll definitely take down Lin Wangyou."
"Okay, I'll wait a week."
Wu Maocai got up to leave, but Dawei suddenly called out to him.
"Wait a minute, Director Wu!"
Wu Maocai turned back and looked at Dawei in surprise: "What's wrong, County Chief Chen?"
The change in address indicates that both individuals have assumed their identities, or rather, entered a state of combat.
"Can I...see your phone?"
"..."
Wu Maocai was taken aback, blinked, then chuckled and placed the phone in front of Dawei.
"Look around freely, password: 123321".
Dawei was afraid he would record the conversation, but Wu Maocai didn't. He had nothing to hide, so after handing over his phone, he turned out his pockets and trouser pockets, unbuckled his belt, and took off his outer pants.
Wu Maocai wasn't angry at all.
He knew that David was beginning to accept him and wanted to test his character, so he happily cooperated.
David still turned on his phone and saw that the recorder interface was not open.
Wu Maocai continued to guide them, saying, "You can also check the text messages and call records, it's fine."
Oh right, I forgot to tell you about Minister Xu's matter.
I have some history with his wife, and I'm actually on par with Minister Xu.
His wife's surname is Weng, and she is my university professor.
When I was in college, Professor Weng sponsored me, and it was also Professor Weng who recommended me to come to Yuanshan County with County Chief Qiao.
I had no relationship with Teacher Weng.
My wife Qin Hongmei's grandfather used to take care of Teacher Weng's father.
Her father was a sent-down youth who suffered a lot in the countryside, but fortunately, Hongmei's grandfather took care of him.
Ultimately, it's all thanks to my wife, Qin Hongmei.
Otherwise, where would I be today?
Wu Maocai simply confessed everything, showing his sincerity.
After hearing this, David felt that everything made sense and pushed the phone back.
The way he stares at other people's phones makes him seem petty.
This was forced upon him by reality; there was nothing he could do.
Even though it was somewhat hurtful, Dawei's expression remained dignified.
Go home early and spend time with your family.
There was really no need to move; I don't care about these things.
Wu Maocai put his pants back on, put his phone back in his pocket, and grinned, "Even if you don't care, I have to show some respect."
If I don't uphold your authority, they'll be even less likely to.
I will always be downstairs from you.
Teacher Weng is right, I'm just cut out to be a deputy.
"To accomplish great things and grasp the overall direction, we need someone like you."
Wu Maocai waved goodbye to Dawei.
David packed his things and prepared to go home.
At this time.
David's ex-wife, Xie Liting, had been waiting for him for a long time in the parking lot downstairs in the City Garden residential complex.
