Chapter 202: Watch Me Walk

that hadn't been mixed with herbal juice, poured each person a glass, and then started preparing small shot glasses for them. 。At this time, Song Guoming stood up and said: "We're starting now. Today...Xiao Zheng took one last drag of his cigarette, exhaling it into the rainy sky beyond the balcony. Then he returned to the room and waited at the door for Chen Hong. 。After a while, Chen Hong did come up. The moisture from the rain caused her hair to curl slightly at the temples, adding a touch of allure. 。Chen Hong was wearing a skirt suit, more casual than the clothes she usually wore to work, and it hugged her figure, revealing her curves. Xiao Zheng's instincts were making him restless. 。He knew that Chen Hong's visit at this time must be about something, and it should be about Chen Guangming's little piggy bank. 。Thinking of this, the flames rising within Xiao Zheng's body also weakened. 。Chen Hong walked to the living room and sat down beside the dining table, looking at Xiao Zheng and saying, "Something happened at my father's unit, you know" Sure enough, it was about the petty treasury. Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I know." 。Today, the county head's dinner was a Hongmen Banquet. He invited Uncle Chen and me because he wanted to threaten us. 。The county magistrate's bargaining chip is that they discovered a small vault of money in the County Agricultural Bureau. 。“Chen Hong’s bright eyes shone with a fierce gaze as she stared at Xiao Zheng: “You know why my dad didn’t come home last night when he was in trouble Is it because he wants to cut ties with this Is he worried about my dad getting into trouble and dragging you down” Chen Hong’s tone became more aggressive, her eyes seemingly brimming with tears of grievance. 。“Where did your mind wander off to” Xiao Zheng said, “I don’t quite understand. Uncle Chen has such good salary and benefits, why would he even bother setting up a secret stash of money and be greedy for these small gains”

Chen Hong immediately jumped to defend her father: “You don’t know the value of firewood and rice if you haven’t run a household>>> 。Although you're the mayor now, you haven't been in office for long enough to have many superiors inviting you out for meals. You probably don't know how many trips you'll have to make to your superiors for evaluations. All of this costs money! Without a slush fund, would you be paying for it all yourself My dad makes only enough money each month to eat two meals. 。"Xiao Zheng isn't completely unaware of this either. He said, “But setting up a small vault carries a big risk. Once the money inside is spent, it’s unclear..." 。"Chen Hong retorted, "How can there be no risks in being an official Everyone walks on thin ice like this. If you don't take risks, don't even think about getting promoted! You won't send what needs to be sent You won't run when you need to Then who will support you Why would they give you the first prize in the assessment instead of someone else"

Xiao Zheng was truly surprised by how direct Chen Hong's words were. " 。Looking back on his own promotion process, he really hadn't "sent" anyone or "run" around. Was his own promotion too abnormal Did everyone else achieve their goals through networking and connections Xiao Zheng suddenly felt a bit confused. 。Chen Hong glanced at Xiao Zheng and said, "Xiao Zheng, my father's matter is very important. "> 。Now, the county head has grasped some issues, he might also let the Discipline Inspection Commission and Audit Bureau intervene to investigate my father's small vault. 。In Kaixian County, which department doesn't have a small or large "piggy bank" 。Whether it's investigated or not, it's just a matter of the county magistrate saying a word. 。"Xiao Zheng instantly understood that Chen Hong's visit was to act as a go-between for his father. Xiao Zheng asked: "Do you mean, I should agree with the county magistrate Fang, and completely stop the 'Rich and Beautiful Village Construction' And afterwards, just listen to County Magistrate Fang, doing whatever he tells us"Chen Hong said: "I'm not asking you to completely stop the 'Rich and Beautiful Village Construction'" 。You can take a break for a while, let the County Magistrate leave my dad alone for now. 。An ironclad camp with flowing soldiers, Fang County's magistrate will probably be transferred sometime soon. By then, this issue won't be a problem anymore. 。Chen Hong's words are not without reason. How many cadres' problems disappear on their own when leadership changes They simply cease to be a problem anymore Whether or not to investigate issues depends on the leaders' decision, and investigations themselves rely on people to carry them out. 。The leader said they wouldn't investigate anymore, so the problem wasn't a problem anymore. 。The same goes for the "Rural Revitalization" project. If we stop now, it's likely to be halted permanently, and who knows when or if it will ever be resumed. 。What about the town's economic transformation and the villagers' livelihoods Before, there was a lot of hype about shutting down mining, but now it has suddenly come to an abrupt halt. The follow-up development of ecological industries and the construction of beautiful villages have all stalled. How can he explain this to the people This will directly affect the credibility of the entire town government and make the higher authorities question the Tianhuang Town Party Committee. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Chen Hong, please understand " 。'Rural revitalization' concerns the development of the entire town, and also whether An County can make the 'Beautiful Countryside' brand a success. At this time, we absolutely cannot relax or stop for a moment. 。Chen Hong suddenly stood up and said to Xiao Zheng, "I know you've made great progress recently. You want to go further and for your future, you must make the 'Rich and Beautiful Rural Construction' brand a success. This can be your biggest political achievement." 。"As for my father's crisis, you don't care at all!"

After saying that, Chen Hong walked towards the door. 。Xiao Zheng stepped forward and grabbed Chen Hong's arm: "Chen Hong, you know I'm not that kind of person." 。Actually, I came back to the hotel today and didn't go to your place because I needed some time to cool down and think of other solutions. 。。"But I will think about it," 。"Chen Hong shook her head at Xiao Zheng and said, “By the time you figure it out, it'll be too late! My dad said, the County Head spoke, if he can't get a satisfactory response from us tomorrow, the County Head will have my dad investigated.” 。You either agree to the county head's request now, or you don't agree. 。Chen Hong stared at Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng cared about Chen Hong very much, but he couldn't submit in this matter. 。Once he yielded, all his footing would be gone. He said, "Chen Hong, both I and Uncle Chen shouldn't yield. Once we yield, we'll all become County Magistrate Fang's puppets! Don't you understand County Magistrate Fang's purpose isn't 'to stop mining', but to manipulate us in the palm of his hand." 。"

What's the use of you saying so much I think you just don't want to help my father." 。Chen Hong put on her high heels again and said, "Xiao Zheng, if you're not willing to help my father, I'll go find my leader, I'll go find Minister Liu." 。"As she spoke, Chen Hong walked out of the house, slammed the door shut, and a loud bang echoed through the hallway." 。"Chen Hong!" Xiao Zheng opened the door, wanting to call her back. 。But Chen Hong's high heels clicked "tap, tap, tap" as she walked downstairs. 。Xiao Zheng returned to the house, his mood was very down. 。He also didn't know what the outcome would be after Chen Hong requested it from Minister Liu tomorrow. 。Perhaps, Minister Liu could really help Chen Hong

That night, Xiao Zheng didn't sleep well. The next day was Sunday, a day of rest, and Xiao Zheng could have stayed at home to relax>>> 。But he still went to work, letting the driver take him around the villages. He used the time to think about the town's future planning and the plans for each village. 。Then Chen Hong returned to Jingzhou early in the morning. 。She made an appointment with Mr. Liu, the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Committee, saying that she had something to report to Mr. Liu. 。

Liu, the minister, was also approachable. Even on Sunday, he went to the office to meet Chen Hong. 。Chen Hong obediently made tea for Liu Chang, then sat down and reported on family matters. 。Chen Hong pleaded, "Minister Liu, my father works in the county-level department and has always been diligent. There are small treasuries in various county departments, not just the Agriculture Bureau he works for. He is doing this for work." 。I hope, Minister Liu, seeing that I'm just an office worker in the department, you could help me say hello to County Chief Fang and ask him to show mercy and not bother my father anymore. 。On Liu Qingwei's Chinese character face, there was not much change in expression, but his brows were slightly furrowed. He said: "Chen Hong, I am very happy that you can report on your family affairs to me today." 。However, there's also a situation I need to tell you about. 。Firstly, I have a principle that I do not help people plead. 。Do you know why If I spoke up for someone, then my job would be impossible. Something would definitely happen. 。If you speak up for someone, you'll owe them a favor. As the head of this department, I owe favors to others, and now they can ask me to promote them. 。You say, how can my work be fair and impartial

Besides, our department has very strict requirements for both cadres themselves and their family members. 。If any family members of our cadres violate the law or engage in misconduct, according to our internal regulations, even our own cadre members will be transferred out of the Organization Department. 。As the office deputy director, you should have reviewed these regulations and are aware of these circumstances. 。Chen Hong had seen these internal regulations, but she didn't take them seriously, thinking they were just words on paper and might not be enforced. 。To my surprise, today Liu Qingwei seriously proposed to me. 。Chen Hong had been quite optimistic, thinking that Minister Liu would definitely greet her. But she didn't expect that Minister Liu rejected her with two reasons. 。Not only did Liu Qingwei not plead for himself, but he also reminded Chen Hong that if Chen Hong's father had an accident, Chen Hong might also be transferred out of the Organization Department. 。Chen Hong was a little scared. She had been transferred out of the Organization Department, which might mean returning to her original unit or going to an unimportant department. Her future would be over. 。

What should I do As Chen Hong was descending in the elevator after leaving the Organization Department, tears streamed down her face. 。She suddenly felt helpless. 。Growing up in the warmth of her family home, Chen Hong always believed that her family was an impenetrable fortress. But now, she suddenly realizes that this house, supported by her father, is as fragile as a house of cards. 。If her father were investigated and she was transferred out of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, would this family be left with nothing but chaos

She suddenly felt so helpless and terribly afraid. 。She suddenly remembered Xiao Zheng again. 。Yesterday, she was still berating him for not helping, saying that she would go to Minister Liu tomorrow. But now the situation has forced her to reconsider Xiao Zheng again. 。t asked Lao to find a way to deal with Lin Xiaofeng in an apparent accidental manner, but I didn't expect him to use explosives!"Fang Yitong glared at Ma Hao dissatisfiedly: "Director Ma, let me tell...
