I asked you to pursue a career, but you turned out to be a scumbag

Chapter 334 Future Plans

Zhang Hao turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing an executive jacket and a side-parted hairstyle striding towards him and stopping him from behind.

Zhang Hao said, "Hello, I'm Zhang Hao from the Municipal Procuratorate. Our Chief Prosecutor said Secretary Xiang wants to see me."

Zhao Jiahao looked at Zhang Hao with some suspicion.

During this period, Lu Xiaoxian was resting, and he temporarily replaced Lu Xiaoxian as Xiang Mingzhi's secretary.

He had never heard Xiang Mingzhi say that he wanted to meet Zhang Hao. If Xiang Mingzhi had not said this, and he rashly let Zhang Hao go to see Xiang Mingzhi, it would definitely make Xiang Mingzhi unhappy.

I heard that Xiang Mingzhi intends to place Lu Xiaoxian in a town as the mayor, and then the position of secretary will be vacant.

If I perform well during this period, I might be able to get the secretary position.

So he said, "Wait a moment, I'll go ask Secretary Xiang."

Then he knocked on the office door, and after hearing Xiang Mingzhi say come in, he walked in, stood respectfully, and said, "Leader, there is a prosecutor named Zhang Hao from the Municipal Procuratorate outside. He said you want to see him."

When Xiang Mingzhi heard Zhang Hao coming, his eyes lit up and he said, "Let him in."

"Okay, leader."

After Zhao Jiahao walked out, he let Zhang Hao in.

After Zhang Hao entered, he stood in front of Xiang Mingzhi and said, "Secretary Xiang, you are looking for me?"

Xiang Mingzhi looked at Zhang Hao, smiled and said: "Yes, come and sit down, Xiao Zhao, go make a cup of tea."

When Zhao Jiahao heard Xiang Mingzhi asking him to make tea, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he looked at Zhang Hao curiously several times.

You should know that he has been Xiang Mingzhi's secretary for several days, and during this period many leaders have come to Xiang Mingzhi to report on their work.

Many of them are at the department or bureau level, but Xiang Mingzhi has never asked him to make tea for them. Today, he asked him to make tea for a prosecutor. What is the origin of this young prosecutor?

But this was not something that a secretary like her should be concerned about, so she immediately ran over and made a cup of tea for Zhang Hao.

"Mr. Zhang..., please have some tea!"

Zhao Jiahao thought for a long time and came up with this title. Normally, people in the system should address each other by their job titles, but Zhang Hao is just a prosecutor, so calling him prosecutor is definitely not okay.

Calling the leader is even more impossible.

After all, in terms of level, Zhang Hao is definitely not as good as himself, so it is not appropriate to call him leader.

I can only call him sir.

Xiang Mingzhi frowned when he heard Zhao Jiahao's name, and then said: "Xiao Zhao, there is nothing for you to do here, go out."

"Okay, leader."

Zhao Jiahao retreated, but did not forget to close the door when he left.

Xiang Mingzhi looked at Zhang Hao in front of him without saying anything. In fact, the purpose of calling Zhang Hao this time was very simple. He was now certain that Han Tianhai had handed the evidence to Zhang Hao when he left.

So he had to find a way to get the evidence back from Zhang Hao.

Otherwise, it will be a time bomb that will blow you to pieces at any time.

Of course, I definitely can't ask Zhang Hao directly for it. If Zhang Hao wanted to give it to me, would I have to go through so much trouble?

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Zhang Hao, this investigation team is over. Are you used to going back to the procuratorate?"

Zhang Hao also knew that Xiang Mingzhi's words at this time were just an introduction, so he said: "Thank you Secretary Xiang for your concern. I am still used to returning to the procuratorate."

"That's good. Do you have any plans for the future?" Xiang Mingzhi continued to ask.

Zhang Hao immediately understood what Xiang Mingzhi meant. The so-called plan was to win him over.

"I don't have any big plans for the future. I just plan to serve the people well in the procuratorate and never let any bad guy go," said Zhang Hao.

Xiang Mingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, your original intention of punishing evil and promoting good is good, but have you ever thought that the most a prosecutor can do is to bring the bad guys who have committed crimes to justice, but to solve the problem fundamentally, it is not something that a prosecutor can do alone."

Zhang Hao remained silent.

Xiang Mingzhi continued, "Do you want to change departments and join the administrative department? I still admire you very much. I'll let you gain some experience in any municipal department first. When the time is right, I'll transfer you to the county as deputy county magistrate. Then you'll be able to better serve the people."

It is obvious that this is a naked attempt to win over others.

If an ordinary person heard this, he would definitely be moved.

But Zhang Hao is different. He doesn't believe in good things that fall from the sky.

What's more, he knew very well who Xiang Mingzhi was.

If I agree to Xiang Mingzhi's request, I will be labeled as Xiang Mingzhi and be considered a member of Xiang Mingzhi's faction. If Xiang Mingzhi's ship capsizes, I will not be able to escape death.

Zhang Hao said: "Secretary Xiang, thank you for your kindness, but I am a person of limited ability. I am OK as a prosecutor, but I am afraid I cannot do well in governing a region."

Xiang Mingzhi said: "Zhang Hao, you don't have to belittle yourself. During your time as the leader of the anti-gangster inspection team, you helped our city eliminate the evil forces headed by Han Tianhai in just a few days. This is enough to prove your ability. If you practice more, you will have no problem becoming a deputy county magistrate."

"That's just luck. Being a prosecutor is pretty good," said Zhang Hao.

Xiang Mingzhi said: "Zhang Hao, you have to think clearly, the difficulty of promotion in the political and legal system is much more difficult than that in the administrative system."

The political and legal system mainly includes public security, procuratorate, courts, judicial and other departments, which are responsible for maintaining social order, judicial justice and other work.

The administrative system includes various government departments, which are responsible for administrative management, public services and other functions.

The scope for promotion in the political and legal system is limited, but it is different in the administrative system. Although the competition for promotion is fierce, there are many channels for promotion.

Zhang Hao said, "Thank you for your concern, Secretary. However, I believe that whether in the political and legal system or the administrative system, we are all serving the people. Moreover, I think I am more suitable to be a prosecutor."

Xiang Mingzhi's eyes were a little cold at this moment. Repeated rejections meant that Zhang Hao had rejected his offer. He then said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. If that's the case, then I won't force you. Zhang Hao, I recently heard a rumor that before Han Tianhai fled, he had handed over evidence of his crimes and bribery to someone. Did you know about this?"

Zhang Hao said in surprise: "Really? I haven't heard of it."

"But now the campaign against organized crime is over. Even if there is any, it is not my responsibility to investigate."

Xiang Mingzhi nodded and said, "While that's true, it was you who handled this case in the first place, so I want to ask you something."

Zhang Hao said: "So that's the case, but I think it must be a rumor. If there really is such evidence, I would have heard of it."

Xiang Mingzhi nodded and said: "Okay, since you haven't heard of it, forget it. You have time to help me think about it."

"I believe that those implicated by Han Tianhai were only a small minority. There must be some truly powerful individuals still at large. We must eradicate all evil and find a way to get this evidence. I will never allow such black sheep to exist within the Party!"

Xiang Mingzhi had a righteous expression on his face.

Zhang Hao said with admiration: "Secretary Xiang, having you here is a blessing for all the people in Hanjiang City."

Xiang Mingzhi waved his hand and said: "This is what I should do. Since the people trust me, I must not let them down."

"More importantly, this evidence has been circulating outside. Whoever holds this document will become a thorn in the side of the person behind the scenes."

"For his own safety, he will definitely try to get the evidence back. He might even harm the life of the person holding the evidence."

It was obvious that this was a naked threat, and the implicit meaning was to tell Zhang Hao.

If you have the evidence, just hand it over to me, otherwise you may lose your life.

Zhang Hao nodded seriously and said, "Please rest assured, Secretary. I will definitely try to recall who might have this evidence."

Xiang Mingzhi nodded and said: "Okay, this is why I called you here. You can leave now."

"Okay, Secretary, goodbye." Zhang Hao stood up and left.

After Zhang Hao left, Xiang Mingzhi's face was terribly gloomy.

If the campaign against organized crime had not just ended, and Zhang Hao had served as the leader of the anti-organized crime inspection team.

There is no need to waste time talking to him. Just send someone to arrest him. Even if he has to be tortured, he must hand over the evidence.

But we can't do that now. If something happens to Zhang Hao, people will probably think that Zhang Hao may have offended someone during the crackdown on gangsters and evil.

The other party is retaliating.

No matter what the reason is, the provincial government will investigate this case to the end.

If you are not clean enough and leave clues that lead to you being the one responsible, then the result will be more trouble than gain.

So after Zhang Hao left, Xiang Mingzhi took out his cell phone and called Lu Xiaoxian.

The flattering voice of Lu Xiaoxian immediately rang out from the other end of the phone: "Leader, please speak."

Just from the tone, one can imagine how servile Lu Xiaoxian is.

Xiang Mingzhi said in a cold voice: "Find someone to monitor Zhang Hao and record his whereabouts, who he met, who he called, what he said, and every move he made."

"Okay, leader!" Lu Xiaoxian said immediately.

As soon as Xiang Mingzhi hung up the phone, Lu Xiaoxian took action immediately. Xiang Mingzhi was already extremely dissatisfied with Han Tianhai's release last time, and if this matter made Xiang Mingzhi dissatisfied again.

By then, not to mention being sent out to serve as a county party secretary, even becoming a county governor would be impossible.

At most, he would be a deputy county magistrate, and that was because he had helped Xiang Mingzhi do a lot of shameful things over the years.

After Zhang Hao left Xiang Mingzhi's office, he saw Zhao Jiahao waiting outside the door.

Zhang Hao stopped and said, "Brother, what's your name?"

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Jiahao would definitely ignore Zhang Hao.

After all, he was the section chief of the Comprehensive Section of the Municipal Party Committee Office, and Zhang Hao, as a prosecutor, was at most a section chief.

Although both he and I are regular students.

But as the section chief of the Municipal Party Committee's Comprehensive Section, I have much more power than the section chief of the Procuratorate.

But his attitude in the office made him feel that Zhang Hao's background was ordinary, otherwise Xiang Mingzhi would not have taken him so seriously.

So he immediately said: "My name is Zhao Jiahao, the head of the Municipal Party Committee's Comprehensive Section."

"It turns out to be Section Chief Zhao!" Zhang Hao said.

"Brother Zhang, why call me Section Chief? That wouldn't be too distant. I'm older than you, so just call me Brother Zhao." Zhao Jiahao said with a smile.

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Brother Zhao."

"Brother Zhao, if I remember correctly, Secretary Zhang's secretary is Lu Xiaoxian, right?" Zhang Hao asked doubtfully.

Zhao Jiahao nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Lu had some family problems recently, so she asked for a few days off. I will be taking over as secretary for the next few days."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao showed a thoughtful look on his face, according to his memories of his previous life.

In his previous life, Lu Xiaoxian seemed to have been sent to Jiangjin County as the county magistrate during this period, and then another person replaced Lu Xiaoxian as secretary, but he could not remember whether this person was Zhao Jiahao.

But it didn't matter. Whether it was Zhao Jiahao or not, it wouldn't affect his next plan. He continued, "I seem to have heard Secretary Xiang say that Lu Xiaoxian will be transferred to Jiangjin County as the county magistrate in the next few days. By then, the secretary position will be vacant. I wonder if Brother Zhao is interested?"

Interested?

Of course I am interested.

I am just the head of the Comprehensive Section of the Municipal Party Committee.

Xiang Mingzhi's secretary is usually the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee.

The deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee is a real powerful figure and a very important position in the municipal party committee. He is responsible for assisting the municipal party secretary and other municipal party committee leaders in handling daily affairs and decision-making support.

The most important thing is that there are many ways for the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee to be promoted, such as serving as secretary-general of the municipal party committee, deputy position in the municipal government or municipal people's congress, municipal CPPCC, transfer to become the secretary of the district or county party committee or the top leader of the district or county government, and transfer to become the "top leader" of municipal state-owned enterprises.

So he said, "Of course I'm interested, but I'm afraid I can't do it."

Such an important position must have a lot of people eyeing it. Although I am now taking over temporarily, everything is subject to change before the appointment is announced.

Zhang Hao said, "Brother Zhao, don't underestimate yourself. To be honest, I think you have great potential. I'll find a chance to talk to Secretary Xiang and let you be his secretary."

"really?"

When Zhao Jiahao heard this, he looked a little excited.

Judging from Xiang Mingzhi's attitude, Zhang Hao's identity is definitely extraordinary, and his words carry a lot of weight in front of Xiang Mingzhi.

If he was willing to speak for me, I might really be able to become Xiang Mingzhi's secretary.

Zhang Hao said: "Of course it's true, but of course I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not."

Zhao Jiahao excitedly held Zhang Hao's hand and said, "Brother Zhang, I won't say anything. From now on, you are my half-brother. As long as you say a word, I will go through fire and water for you."

Zhang Hao heard this and said, "Brother Zhao, you're too polite, but I really do have something I want you to help me with!"
