Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Six: Deserved
Chapter 196: Sin deserves
The middle-aged man, who was extraordinary and called "Secretary Zhou" by Director Huang, looked at Director Huang and frowned slightly, as if he couldn't remember who the person who greeted him in front of him was.
Director Huang quickly said flatteringly:
"Secretary Zhou, I am Xiao Huang from the Municipal Resettlement Office! I shook hands with you at the mobilization meeting for the joint construction of the two sides at the beginning of the year!"
Secretary Zhou nodded slightly and said:
"oh!"
It was obvious that he didn't look like that, but obviously this small problem would not bother Secretary Zhou. He walked directly to me, took my hand and said affectionately:
"Xiao Lu! I wanted to go to the army to find you very early, but I have always been very busy with work, and it seems that your army is not easy to enter! Haha!"
When Director Huang called the man in front of me "Secretary Zhou", I already remembered that the person standing in front of me was Zhou Zhilong, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission. The troops were stationed in Fuzhou, and the army had to watch the news every night, including the news broadcast of the CCTV and some news programs of the local station. As the leader of the provincial party committee, Secretary Zhou naturally often appeared on TV, so I felt that he looked familiar when I first saw it.
Director Huang and his party saw Secretary Zhou and I talk so kindly, their faces turned pale. Even a fool could tell that my relationship with him was not ordinary, but to be honest, I really couldn't remember when I had dealt with him. Generally speaking, I didn't have many opportunities to deal with local leaders, and with my memory, I would never forget it if I met him. So I said a little embarrassedly:
"Hello, Secretary Zhou! Can I ask how you know me?"
Secretary Zhou said with a smile:
"Old Zhong is my old leader! You understand what I said! When I transferred to the local area for some reasons, if it weren't for Mr. Zhong's encouragement, I would have been depressed long ago."
Secretary Zhou glanced at me and continued:
"Every time I go to Beijing for a meeting, I must go to the old leader. When he knew I was working in Fujian, he told me to take care of you. In fact, I should say that I knew you very early. Xiao Lu, you are a great hero who has been on CCTV!"
I was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of what Secretary Zhou said was the "disguised reward" given to me by the organization after I was seriously injured in the shadow group for the first time. Thinking of this, I smiled embarrassedly.
Secretary Zhou said:
"I'm so ashamed to say that! I'm busy with all kinds of work every day, and I don't have time to see you, but I'm still very concerned about your affairs. I know that you are developing well in the army!"
Secretary Zhou seemed to be very excited, and Director Huang and his party next to him were also paler, but the leaders did not dare to leave here, so they stood aside in embarrassment. Secretary Zhou held my hand and said for a while before seeing Director Huang and the others standing next to him. Secretary Zhou frowned and asked:
"By the way, Xiao Lu, what happened just now? Several leaders of our provincial party committee invited investors here. I walked out to have some breath, but I heard that you were arguing..."
A little sweat suddenly appeared on Director Huang's face, and he said embarrassedly:
"Secretary Zhou, nothing happened. We had a little misunderstanding with Chief Lu just now, but it's okay, right, Chief Lu?"
After saying that, Director Huang looked at me with a begging look, completely different from the arrogant ones he had just now. I jokingly glanced at Director Huang, who was sweating all over, and turned to Secretary Zhou and said:
"Secretary Zhou, it's actually no big deal. One of my comrades-in-arms transferred to a job and may have encountered some difficulties in work placement, so I want to ask Director Huang and others for help..."
Director Huang hurriedly said:
"Chief Staff Lu, there is no problem with your comrade's transfer and resettlement. It was our mistake that I did not solve her work problems in time some time ago. I will do this tomorrow!"
Secretary Zhou frowned and said:
"Why are you so rude? Let Chief of Staff Lu finish his words! Xiao Lu, tell me what happened just now? Why did you argue with them? Did they deliberately make things difficult for you on the issue of work placement? Or did they ask you for money?"
When he said this, Secretary Zhou's tone became very strict, and he looked at Director Huang with a sharp look. Generally speaking, the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission is a person with a decent style and a grudge. It seems that Director Huang and the others are also very afraid of him. Director Huang shook his head repeatedly, and then looked at me deeply, as if he wanted to ask me to show mercy. I gently curled my lips and continued:
"They did not deliberately make things difficult for me, nor did they say that the issue of my comrades' resettlement cannot be handled..."
Speaking of this, I deliberately looked at Director Huang. A hint of joy appeared in his eyes and nodded repeatedly. However, after being scolded by Secretary Zhou, he never dared to interrupt again. I sneered and continued:
"But Director Huang meant that it would be a bit difficult to do this thing just by having a meal. If I invite them to sing and wash saunas, then the difficulty of this thing would be much smaller. Of course, if I invite a few more ladies to accompany them, it would be basically no problem!"
Director Huang's face suddenly turned pale, and his subordinates were even more arrogant in front of Secretary Zhou. They never thought that the provincial party committee leaders who usually need to look up to care so much about me, and it sounds like we are still family friends...
Secretary Zhou's face became worse and worse. After I finished speaking, he glared at them fiercely, then turned to me and said:
"Xiao Lu, don't worry, your comrades-in-arms affairs are covered by me, I will help you get it done as soon as possible. I'm really sorry. The style of some of our cadres is really bad, which makes you laugh!"
After saying that, he turned his head and said coldly to Director Huang:
"You are from the Fuzhou City Transferred Military Resettlement Office? You will temporarily leave your job starting tomorrow. After you go back, you will carefully fill out the inquiry letter sent to you by the Discipline Inspection Commission. Also, I hope you will not leave your residence at will during this period. The organization's notice will be sent to your unit tomorrow!"
Director Huang's feet turned weak and he almost sat down on the ground. The insiders knew that after receiving the inquiry letter, the cadre was basically abandoned, because this means that the organization has begun to investigate your problem. Unless it is the kind of cadre who really has a clear conscience and was falsely accused of offending someone, then there will be "double regulations" and arrest...
Maybe he never thought that things would be so big tonight. I believe that in the past he would ask for bribes, but tonight he just asked me to pay for the "special services" he needed. Of course, it is possible that he would reach out after the "activity", but after that, he only made a small mistake tonight, or a problem with his lifestyle. I didn't expect Secretary Zhou to have such a strict method as soon as he got up...
Secretary Zhou didn't even look at Director Huang, who looked desperate next to him. He took out a business card and handed it to me, saying:
"Xiao Lu, there are still customers there, so I went in first. This is my business card. When you are not busy with work, you can come to me for tea and chat. If you need any help from me, don't be polite to me! As long as you don't violate the principles, I will do my best to help you!"
I took the business card with both hands and said:
"Thank you! Secretary Zhou!"
Watching Secretary Zhou walk in, I also walk outside while taking out the car keys. When I came to my "cheetah" and opened the car door and was about to get on the car, Director Huang and his subordinates ran over quickly. Director Huang pulled my sleeve and said in a crying voice:
"Chief Staff Lu, we don't know the relationship between you and Secretary Zhou! Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to show off in front of you even if I have two courages! You have a lot of lord, so let us go! Leave a few of us a few ways to survive for us, and we will definitely thank you very much!"
I shook my hand in disgust and frowned:
"Why are you not arrogant now? Didn't you still want to fight with me just now? So what if you have more than ten times more characters like you? Isn't it a matter of minutes to bring down you?"
Thinking of their faces just now, I was still full of anger. Unexpectedly, Director Huang immediately slapped himself twice and said:
"Chief of Staff Lu, we are blind! Please let us have a way out! I have eighty mothers above, and the lower..."
I had goose bumps on my body and stood up again. Director Huang was so talented. Not only did hesitate to slap himself in the face in front of his subordinates, but he could also say such old-fashioned lines in tears... I quickly said:
"Stop it with me! Is it good to have something fresh? What's the one with the 80-year-old mother? It's inexplicable! Besides, what's the use of asking me? Now Secretary Zhou wants to deal with you! I don't have that much power!"
After saying that, I opened the car door and was about to get in the car. Director Huang hurriedly grabbed me and said:
"Chief Staff Lu, if you are willing to go to Secretary Zhou's place to help us have a romance, maybe we will be fine! Chief Staff Lu, if you can help me this time, I will thank you very much!"
I asked jokingly:
"Oh? Thank you very much? How heavy is it?"
My joke made a glimmer of hope in Director Huang's eyes, and he hurriedly said:
"Chief Staff Lu, if you can help me overcome this difficulty, I am willing to give you 200,000 yuan in hard work... No! 500,000 yuan!"
I still had a cynical smile on my face. These people were arrogant just now, but because they had some power, they were all so arrogant that they were 20,000 or 50,000. Now that I have the chance, I will tease them well!
Director Huang looked at me and gritted his teeth and said:
"One million! If Chief of Staff Lu is willing to help, we will come up with a few more people to change you a good car!"
The deputy director and several other leaders in charge also nodded repeatedly, looking at me hopefully, my smile subsided and said coldly:
"One million! It seems that I am going to call Secretary Zhou..."
Director Huang and his friends snorted a long sigh, with a smile on their faces, but the smile quickly became stiff because I continued to say to myself:
"Civil servants from several countries can easily take out one million! I think Secretary Zhou will be very interested in this news!"
After saying that, I opened the car door, then suddenly turned around and pointed at Director Huang's nose and said:
"I warn you! Don't pester me anymore! Otherwise, my fist will not recognize anyone!"
Director Huang, who was about to come, suddenly stayed there. I jumped into the car quickly, started, quit, stepped on the accelerator. When the car passed by Director Huang and the others, I threw down a sentence:
"It's still very early for men at this time! Why are you dreaming? Humph! I just want to buy me for one million, and I don't want to ask who I, Lu Changfeng, is..."
After saying that, I drove away in the car, leaving Director Huang who was dead like a dead person and his subordinates with dull eyes.
On the way back, I called Mr. Zhong, talked about today's events, and learned about Secretary Zhou from Mr. Zhong. Only then did I understand why Secretary Zhou was so disgusted with Director Huang and the others' behavior.
It turned out that when Secretary Zhou was still a platoon leader in the army, he was straightforward and would say anything bad when he saw it. Therefore, he offended many people and was eventually forced to change his career because he offended a relatively large leader. It was precisely because Secretary Zhou was also troubled by the personnel in charge of resettlement at that time when he was relocating.
Moreover, because he was too straightforward and unwilling to treat guests and give gifts, he was eventually arranged to be an ordinary clerk in a very difficult town. Because of this, he almost couldn't recover. Although Mr. Zhong, who was not in a high position at that time, could not help him, he always gave him great encouragement. Even if he transferred to the local area, Mr. Zhong would often write letters or call to care about him. Mr. Zhong knew that his family life was in difficult times, and occasionally sent some money to him.
Later, Secretary Zhou survived the most difficult period, and his local development began to go smoothly. He became the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission. Although he became bigger and bigger, his evil character did not change. Especially today, Director Huang is also a cadre in the resettlement office, and he also used his power to make things difficult for the demobilized soldiers. It is no wonder that Secretary Zhou handled them so harshly!
I looked at the business card in my hand and thought to myself:
"This Secretary Zhou is really a good person. If you have the opportunity, you can really go to him to have tea and chat..."
