Although I don’t have the eloquence you have, you can only sigh at the status I have. I am the top leader, and you are just the second leader.

If you want to choose between eloquence and status, I believe many people will choose the latter without hesitation.

No matter how good the eloquence is, what can you do? Faced with the deterrence of absolute status, you can only be unable to compete and surrender.

Tan Rui had this idea in mind. When facing Su Mu, he still placed himself in a higher position and said coldly: "Mayor Su, you have to say what I just said was alarmist, which is biased."

"You don't know the Zhao family, the Wang family and the Li family, so how can you be sure that they will not take risks for their own flesh and blood, and it doesn't matter if they don't use the extreme!"

"We can prevent this from happening, why do we have to wait until it happens before facing it? If it really happens, can you bear this responsibility?"

"I'm responsible?" Su Mu stared at Tan Rui fearlessly and said word by word.

"I don't have to bear any responsibility, and the three of them dare not do this. Whoever dares to do anything recklessly will I punish it with the law."

"Talking to Secretary, I hope you can figure it out. You are the secretary of the municipal party committee of Jinxiu City, not the nanny of their three families."

"The three of them can do anything, but they can't use this to threaten and intimidate the municipal party committee and municipal government. If they dare to do it, I dare to investigate and deal with it!"

A little coldness suddenly popped up in Tan Rui's eyes. He suddenly looked at Wu Xiaohong and said coldly: "Secretary Wu, let me tell you what you think."

In the end, I couldn't escape!

Wu Xiaohong thought helplessly in his heart, and became even more angry with Tan Rui. When he heard this inquiry, his attitude became stronger and he looked back at Tan Rui's calm and persistent eyes.

"Talking to the Secretary, I think it is right to handle this matter according to law. No matter who it is, you must bear the corresponding responsibility as long as you violate the law."

"If Li Donghua and the other three can be exempted from punishment today, then who can guarantee that tomorrow will not cause others to appear and slander and slander state public officials."

"Talking to Secretary, I hope you can understand that the majesty of state cadres cannot be violated, and malicious praise and murder and frame-up are all crimes. If you endorse them and hold them accountable after reporting them layer by layer, how will you explain it?"

"I……"

Tan Rui glared at Wu Xiaohong deeply, and suddenly laughed, his smile a little cold, staring at Su Mu and asked in a stern voice: "Mayor Su, I only ask you a few words. Do you have to pursue this matter to the end? Can't you take it lightly for my face?"

For your face?

Su Mu slowly stood up from the sofa, looked down at Tan Rui condescendingly, with a sharp look in his eyes, and said coldly: "Do you want face? Then who will give me my face?"

"What? You?" Tan Rui stood up and looked at Su Mu face to face with him, his eyes full of anger. He was extremely shocked, shocking how dare Su Mu dared to be so unscrupulous in front of Wu Xiaohong.

Wu Xiaohong also stood up, but remained silent.

"What do I do? Tan Rui, it's true that you are the secretary of the municipal party committee, but don't forget that everyone is a department-level cadre. I am the mayor of the government. You don't have to worry about some of the things the government has taken care of."

"If you want me to let go of Zhao Qingzu three, it must be the Zhao family, the Wang family and the Li family are asking you for it."

"How did they ask you, and why did you agree? I don't care about these things, but you shouldn't take my reputation as a favor."

"Although I, Su Mu, is just a civil servant, no matter how small I am, I have dignity and cannot be your bargaining chip to please the powerful and wealthy families. My dignity cannot be trampled on. Whoever dares to trample on me will fight to the end!"

"Okay, I'll say that, please do your own thing!"

After Su Mu finished speaking, she turned around and left the office.

Just as Su Mu walked out, he found that there was no idea when the corridor outside was full of people.

Many people looked here looking forward. After seeing Su Mu come out, they all started to shrink their necks and get busy with other things.

"The door is actually open?"

Su Mu was so flexible that he quickly figured out the reason. But how could this door not be closed? Will there be a gap?

Could it be that Tan Rui wants to take this opportunity to get into a trap? As long as he agreed just now, this matter will immediately spread throughout the Jinxiu City officialdom.

By then, everyone will know one thing: Su Mu, forced by Tan Rui's power, would bow his head to compromise with the three families.

What a sinister trick!

Su Mu turned around and swept over Tan Rui in contempt, without any cover in front of everyone, and said calmly: "Secretary Tan, Zhao family, Wang family, and Li family want to solve this problem, so please invite them to the municipal government to talk to me."

"Please tell them that unless they come forward in person, they will not be able to find anyone to clear the matter!"

Su Mu left with great momentum.

Wu Xiaohong walked back to his office with a haha.

In the blink of an eye, only Tan Rui was left here. He swept over the department staff watching the fun and shouted angrily: "Are you all okay to do? Are you all idle? If you are idle, then rewrite the materials for me a few times!"

The crowd immediately dispersed.

After hearing the news from there, Yang Xiaofeng came over quickly, and shouted at the department staff while walking, "Don't be stunned, go whatever you should do!"

Bang!

As Yang Xiaofeng walked into the office, the door slammed, he stood in the middle of the room, looking at Tan Rui, who looked angry, grabbed the teacup on the table and fell to the ground.

Taking a deep breath, controlling the worries in his heart, he said slowly: "Secretary, don't take what happened just now. We guessed that this would happen today yesterday, so you don't have to be as knowledgeable as he is. Being angry for such a person is not worth it!"

"Am I angry with him? Is this Su Mu doing things too unruly, so he left, but what does that mean in the end?"

"Do you want to say that I am a person representing the powerful people in Jinxiu City? I am that kind of person? If these words are spread, how can I have my face?"

"And why the office door is not closed? Why is there a crack left? Cao Jin, where are you? Come in and explain it to me clearly!" Tan Rui narrowed his eyes, looked ugly, and shouted in anger.

All the so-called demeanor is left behind, and all the elegance is replaced by impulse.

After hearing the sound, Cao Jin quickly knocked on the door and came in. Looking at the angry Tan Rui, he hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Secretary, did I close the door when I left just now? Why are there any gaps? I really don't know."

"Damn it! Baddy! Coward!"

Tan Rui stared at Cao Jin in disgust, as if he saw the most hateful person, and wanted to continue roaring, but Yang Xiao advised him, "Secretary, this may be really just an accident. Don't make things difficult for Xiao Cao. Let's think about how to deal with the aftermath."

"Go out!" Tan Rui shouted angrily.

Cao Jin hurriedly turned around and left.

After walking out of the office, Cao Jin wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and was surprised to find that his back was covered with sweat beads at some point.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, Cao Jin deeply agrees at this moment.

In the office.

After Yang Xiaofeng sorted out the whole thing smoothly, a cold light flashed in his eyes and said coldly: "Secretary, since this matter is already like this, there is no need for us to show mercy to Su Mu."

"He scolded this today, clearly because he wanted to take advantage of the situation. He didn't respect you. Why should you care about his face? If you want me, we just go the second way and contact the Provincial Public Security Department to intervene."

"You're right, just do it."

Tan Rui waved his hand, and Yang Xiaofeng left with tactfully. When he was left in the room, Tan Rui found a phone and recorded a name and dialed it out. After the contact was made there, Tan Rui said politely: "Director Pei, hello, I am Tan Rui, right, are you free now? I have something to talk to you..."

Many things can't be concealed, let alone the fact that there is a crack in the door, so it spread throughout the Jinxiu City officialdom in an instant.

After hearing about this, no matter who it was, he was standing on Su Mu's side when he was talking.

"Did you hear that Secretary Tan actually forced Mayor Su to compromise in order to speak for Zhao Qingzu and the other two. He is a bit too domineering and indiscriminate in his work, right?"

"It is already an unconcealed humiliation to treat Mayor Su like that. As the secretary of the municipal party committee, Secretary Tan not only did not help Mayor Su, but instead forced him like this, it was too much!"

"You are right, it's extremely excessive! I definitely support Mayor Su, my mother. I think it would be cowardly to follow such a municipal party secretary!"

...

Municipal Government Building.

When Su Mu returned to the office, this kind of rumors had already spread. Zhao Duo, who heard this, stood in front of Su Mu with an excited expression, waved his hand and said angrily: "Mayor Su, what is Tan Rui thinking? He actually made such a move? He really forced you to compromise and bow to the three families?"

"He wanted me to release Zhao Qingzu and the other two, but I didn't agree." Su Mu signaled Zhao Duo not to be so angry. After sitting down and talking, he took the initiative to get a bottle of mineral water, "Don't be excited, drink some water first to quench the air."

"I'm not thirsty." Zhao Duo took the mineral water bottle and put it aside, his face was not reduced at all, and he said indignation.

"Hmph, it's so weird. I've never seen someone who is the secretary of the municipal party committee like this. In order to win over the three families, he actually did such a thing."

"Does it be said that in Tan Rui's eyes, the so-called mayor's majesty is actually inferior to the interests of the three families? What exactly did he think? He dared to open the door and let go of such a conversation. Do you want to laugh at you?"

"Mayor, I suggest that I report this matter to the provincial party committee and government immediately to seek justice!"

Report to the provincial party committee and government?

Su Mu shook his head slightly and said calmly to Zhao Duo: "You know, I can't report this matter. It's not necessary to say no basis."

"No matter what Tan Rui is, he is the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Jinxiu City. No matter how conflicts I have with him are, they are all internal and private affairs of our Jinxiu City. I don't want to disturb the province's people from the province to investigate because of these private affairs. Only then will it really affect the order and stability of Jinxiu City."

"And as long as you don't do that, even if there are some rumors outside, as long as I am and Tan Rui are there, Jinxiu City will not be in chaos."

"Then let it go?" Zhao Duo said unwillingly.

"How could I forget it? I, Su Mu, can't just do it if anyone thinks."

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Su Mu's mouth. He raised his arm and pointed it out the window, and said coldly: "It depends on you next. Let's spread all the inspection team!"

Zhao Duo immediately understood.
