Minister Zhou maintained a calm exterior, but his mind was racing with thoughts.
The Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee had made a surprise visit, and he only received the notification when they were almost at his doorstep.
What was going on?
Logically, this shouldn't be happening.
He was a standing committee member of the City Committee, and had connections within the province.
Besides, he hadn't done anything out of line recently.
The possibility that the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee would come directly, and that Secretary Lu and Mayor Zheng would be there to stabilize him, meant it was no minor issue.
He grabbed the cellphone on his desk and said, "I'm going to make a call."
Secretary Lu said with a smile, "It's fine to call here."
Minister Zhou smiled on the surface, but inside he cursed to himself.
He didn't make a call but sent a message instead.
