Chapter 952

Wei Zhuang did not give Wei Xiaowu the kind of positive answer that can make people excited, but also did not completely cut off all her hopes, at least did not assert that Yang Xiaobao was dead. There was a flash of light in Wei Xiaowu's eyes, but it was dim again soon. He looked up out of the window and murmured to himself, "can he escape from such a big fire?"

"If it's a second person, it's certainly impossible to escape." Wei Zhuang frowned slightly and thought for a moment, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth. "Among the bodies cleaned up at the scene of the fire, no one surnamed Yang was found. Although I can't think of it in any way, how can anyone escape from such a desperate situation. Although it is also possible that his body was burned to ashes in that fire. But I'd like to believe that he has escaped. "

Wei Zhuang's words are much more positive than his answer just now. Wei Xiaowu's brows are much more relaxed. It seems that he has taken grandfather's "possibility" as a certain fact wishfully. She convinced herself that this was the truth: Yang Xiaobao was still alive, and now he might be spending his time at ease somewhere.

"Will brother Yang come back?" Wei Xiaowu looked up at his old grandfather and asked the last key question. This sentence is not so much a question as a waiting for a definite answer.

"Yes, he will come back." Wei Zhuang nodded his head slightly, sighed and said, "if he is alive, he will come back, but it may take a long time."

"He must be alive, and he will come back!" Wei Xiaowu got angry and gave his grandfather a gentle push, forbidding him to say anything frustrating. She tilted her head for a moment, then asked, "when will he come back?"

Wei Zhuang was made to laugh and cry by his granddaughter's wonderful problem. Even if Yang Xiaobao didn't die, he still lived happily. He was not the Ascaris lumbricoides in Yang Xiaobao's stomach. How could he know where he would go and when he would come back? However, at this time, he did not want to say some discouraging words. After all, Wei Xiaowu had just cried.

"He will certainly come back when he thinks fit. There will be an appropriate time for everything, including the appearance and departure of a person. " Wei Zhuang's mouth showed a smile, reached out his hand and touched his granddaughter's small head, deliberately said: "it seems that you are really grown up, you all know how to miss men... Miss people, and you never miss your grandfather so much."

Of course, Wei Xiaowu understood the meaning of his grandfather's words. He blushed a little, wiped away his tears and tears, and began to laugh and blame: "grandfather, are you not all right? It must be a long life, a long life and a long life. Is there anything else I need to think about? "

"It's not going to happen step by step." Wei Zhuang shook his head, stood up, paced two steps, and said slowly, "I just reported to the general office and submitted my resignation application. I will announce my resignation at the plenary meeting at noon tomorrow. That's good. Your grandfather will soon be free and have more time to accompany you. "

Wei Zhuang's face was forced to smile, but he didn't feel happy at all. On the contrary, he was very disappointed.

"Grandfather, didn't you say that you would retire in a month? Why did you quit again? " On hearing this, Wei Xiaowu couldn't help but be very surprised and felt something was wrong.

According to the original plan to retire and resign a month in advance, it seems that they both leave their posts, as if there is no difference between them. But for a big man like Wei Zhuang, who is at the top of power, the difference can be described as one day and one place. Retiring at the end of the term is called "honorary retirement", while voluntary resignation means admitting mistakes, taking responsibility and leaving the job.

A senior cadre who left office in the previous way can retain his honor and part of the officialdom influence behind him. In the latter way, a senior cadre leaves his post, which means that he has drawn an incomplete end to his political career, which is equivalent to putting a disgraceful pen on the end of his official career. A corresponding consequence is that the influence of officialdom behind him is equal to a loss of more than half.

Leaving office in such a way as to voluntarily submit resignation is actually a kind of self humiliation. For Wei Zhuang, who has always regarded his official career and reputation as his life, this kind of blow is quite serious.

Although Wei Xiaowu is not young and has little experience in the world, he grew up in an official family. Over the years, he has learned a lot about the hidden rules of officialdom. He is much more sensitive to officialdom politics than most people. He can easily smell something unusual from his grandfather's understated "resignation": something must have happened, Forced him to do something like self humiliation.

"Grandpa, what's the matter with you Wei Xiaowu is not stupid, very sensitive to realize that this matter is likely to be related to the big case of Yang Xiaobao and the fire incident of Baoying building which caused a sensation in the whole province a few days ago.

"Don't you notice, child? No matter whether Yang Xiaobao is alive or dead, his name does not appear in the general order or in Bao's News Bulletin - he is not accused of arson and murder. Of course, it's not that the expert group responsible for dealing with the aftermath can't find out, but that I used my power and influence to cover it with improper means. "

Speaking of this, Wei Zhuang gave a bitter smile and sighed: "there are rules in this world, officialdom, official career, political arena. That's where the rules are most strict. Even people in high positions like me have rules to follow. It's against discipline, of course, and it's a price to pay. "

"The price?" Wei Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, vaguely understood.

"Yes, it's a political deal." Wei Zhuang laughed at himself and said bitterly: "my opponents in the officialdom acquiesced in me breaking the rules, so that I could cover this big event that no one could cover. But their exchange terms were: I couldn't retire as planned, but I wanted to resign on my own initiative - they wanted me to slap myself in the face. I do
