Qiao Guodong's face became bad and he frowned and said, "County Magistrate Li, you don't know that the computer in the surveillance room has been broken long ago and the video cannot be saved."

After hearing this, Li Rui sneered secretly, looked at him deeply, and ordered Gao Jianxin: "Political Commissar Gao, please go to the monitoring room yourself to see if the computer is broken."

His words meant that he wanted to be serious with Qiao Guodong today. In fact, Li Rui had already made plans. If Qiao Guodong did lie and deceive today, he would be determined to take him down. No matter what his identity or background, he must be taken down. If such a director is not taken down, the entire administrative service center would not want to cultivate a good work style in management.

Gao Jianxin agreed and called a security guard at the door and asked him to take him to the monitoring room to check the computer.

Qiao Guodong seemed to have anticipated the crisis and began to show his muscles to Li Rui. He said in a disrespectful tone: "County Magistrate Li, what do you mean? Are my words so untrustworthy? You don't have any trust in the lower-level cadres? County Magistrate Su, the executive who promoted me, has always trusted me for several years."

Li Rui laughed when he heard this. The old boy was quite smart. He knew that he was too soft, so he started to play hard. He showed in public that he was the person of the Executive Deputy County Magistrate Su Tao, and hinted that if he couldn't get along with him, he would offend Su Tao, the fourth person in the county. It's a pity that he didn't know. Not to mention that he was Su Tao's person. Even if he was the county party secretary or county magistrate, he would never let him down when he should deal with him. He smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, take your time!"

Seeing that he did not call Gao Jianxin back, Qiao Guodong was a little angry when he saw that he had not called him back, he shouted: "County Magistrate Li, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this? Although you are my leader in charge, I think my leader is County Magistrate Su. I think it is necessary to tell County Magistrate Su if you do this." After that, he took out his cell phone.

Li Rui glanced at his cell phone with a squinted look and said, "You want to call someone?" Okay, call me, don't say that you called Su Tao today. Even if you called Fang Qingyun, I will still deal with you and said lightly: "Call it whatever you want."

Qiao Guodong snorted, turned around and walked to the side and called.

Ma Yuming, Niu Jin and Wang Guilian were all stunned. Unexpectedly, things would come to this point. Qiao Guodong actually started working with Li Rui, the deputy county magistrate, and he also asked the executive deputy county magistrate Su Tao to come over. Su Tao wanted to come over again. Today's play is even more exciting.

Niu Jin was very uneasy. Seeing Li Rui's strength, he was afraid that even if Su Tao came over, Qiao Guodong would not be able to get a good idea today. However, no matter what, with Su Tao, the person surnamed Qiao could not have any major problems, but he was different. He did not have a strong background like Su Tao. Once Li Rui finished cleaning up Qiao Guodong, he would have to clean himself. If he took action against him, he would be in lingering. Although he did not have the right to take down his captain as the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, he would always find awkwardness for himself in the future, and he could not stand it. Thinking of this, he became more and more timid and said to Li Rui in a low voice: "County Magistrate Li, I will apologize to you seriously and make a deep review. As the director, I..."

Li Rui raised his hand and pressed it quietly, saying, "Director Niu, don't worry. After finishing talking about Director Qiao's affairs, let's talk about your Environmental Protection Bureau."

Niu Jin's expression was extremely awkward, but he could not imagine it. He lowered his head and stayed silent for a while. Thinking of the culprit Wang Guilian, he turned around and glared at her fiercely.

Wang Guilian naturally knew what Li Rui had encountered before at the Environmental Protection Bureau window, and knew that he had called the director. He basically guessed that he would not have good results. He was already afraid of being disgusted. However, he was confident that he was a serious civil servant and his mistake today was not serious. Even if Li Rui punished him, he would definitely not be able to fire him. At most, he would give him a punishment. But what's so scary? With his age and background, he could not climb up anymore, and it didn't matter if he was punished. It would not affect his salary and various incomes, let alone the sale would be done in one or two years.

Qiao Guodong called quickly. After he spoke a few words, he turned around and walked towards Li Rui, with a arrogant look on his face as if Li Rui could not do anything to him at all.

Li Rui noticed his expression and couldn't help laughing. Alas, it's so good to be innocent. If he wants to be as innocent as him, he will definitely be happy every day.

"County Magistrate Li, County Magistrate Su wants to talk to you." Qiao Guodong said proudly and handed the phone in front of Li Rui.

Surprisingly, Li Rui did not take it over, but looked at Qiao Guodong with a smile and said, "County Magistrate Su wants to talk to me? But I am very busy now and it is not convenient to talk to him."

Qiao Guodong would never think that he would play such a trick. He was stunned at first, then embarrassed, and finally angry, and shouted: "You...you are so busy, you haven't done anything now..."

Li Rui's smile turned cold and said, "Who said I did nothing? I'm waiting for the inspection results of the Political Commissar Gao, and I'm listening to Director Niu of the Environmental Protection Bureau report on his work, right? Director Niu?"

Niu Jin dared not say no, and nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I am reporting to County Mayor Li and making a review..."

Qiao Guodong's face was so angry that his face was blood-red, as if all the capillaries under the skin had cracked, but he could not refute it. He put his phone in his ear and shouted to Su Tao on the other end of the phone without caring about Li Rui's thoughts: "County Magistrate Su, you have heard it too. County Magistrate Li won't answer your phone..."

Li Rui sneered, ignored him again, and turned to look towards the monitoring room.

Qiao Guodong quickly hung up the phone, but was not discouraged. Instead, he looked at Li Rui proudly, as if there was a trick.

Li Rui guessed that for the sake of face, Su Tao either called himself to argue or came to the administrative service center to communicate in person. The former is more likely, but no matter what method he takes, he would not sell his face. If he doesn't deal with Qiao Guodong today, how can he rectify the work style of the administrative service center? How can he maintain his face in front of Ma Yuming and Niu Jin? If he is looked down upon by lower-level cadres, how can he start his work in the future?

Just as he was thinking, Gao Jianxin walked back quickly, and a few meters away, he shouted: "County Magistrate Li, the monitoring host is good..."

After hearing this, Qiao Guodong looked a little embarrassed, but soon recovered as before, and said to himself: "When will they fix it again?"

Gao Jianxin walked up to Li Rui, looked at Qiao Guodong, and said, "I checked the surveillance video around 8:30. It seems that Director Qiao should be the one who recorded the record."

Although Gao Jianxin stood firmly behind Li Rui, he did not want to offend Qiao Guodong too much at the critical moment. He did not say that he lied, nor did he say that he did not come to the unit at 8:30, but only said that he remembered it wrongly. This not only showed the facts but also gave him face, which was a very clever way of speaking.

Li Rui was about to speak when his phone suddenly sang, guessing that it was Su Tao who called. He took out the caller ID and found out that it was indeed the county government's landline number sequence. After answering, he said, "I am Li Rui."

"County Magistrate Li, I am Su Tao..."

The other party showed his identity as soon as he came up. Su Tao, the executive deputy county magistrate, but his words were calm and he had no sign of anger, which was beyond Li Rui's expectations.

"Oh, County Magistrate Su, hello, is there anything wrong?" Li Rui pretended to be quite like that. Su Tao asked him to listen to the phone a few minutes ago, but he refused in public and said nothing. The voice of his words might have reached Su Tao's ears by the phone, but now he pretended that nothing had happened. His acting skills are outstanding.

Qiao Guodong rolled his eyes in anger on the side and thought to himself, "Pretty, do you keep pretending, I think you can beg for me from my boss, okay? Humph, you are a guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong, that is, you are just bullying a small cadre like me. If you really face a ruthless person, you can only pretend to be a grandson."

Su Tao was not angry after hearing Li Rui's words, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Li, that's the case. Last night, Qiao Guodong accompanied me to socialize and drank a few more drinks. I got up late today. As for my sake, don't be as familiar with him. It's not that tight in the work of the county government office. It's not that big deal. It's not a regular thing. Just let him let him go, okay? Let him treat us to dinner another day and apologize to you in person."

Li Rui said: "County Magistrate Su, don't say I don't care about your face. Originally, I wanted to give him a chance, but he thought he had your support, so he was unruly with me. If you were on the scene, you could see his current expression and not take me seriously at all. If he could honestly admit his mistakes after lying, I really don't mind giving him a chance, but don't blame me for being ruthless in his behavior. He has this attitude towards his superiors, so how can he manage his subordinates well? How can he manage the work of the administrative service center well?"

Su Tao sighed: "County Magistrate Li, I know you are the beloved general of Secretary Song in the city. I also have a love a disciple with Mayor Yu, the city government. You are also familiar with Mayor Yu. If you don't care about my face, you always have to care about Mayor Yu's face, right?"

Li Rui smiled and said, "Okay, if you say that, I will sell you for your face."

Su Tao was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Li is so generous, another day..."

"I haven't finished speaking..." Li Rui interrupted his words with a smile, "I'm selling your face, not to let Qiao Guodong go, but to give you a quota for the new director of the administrative service center, and you can recommend another director to come up."

Su Tao didn't say anything for a while, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Okay, since County Magistrate Li has to punish Qiao Guodong, I have nothing to say. I will consider the new director. I hope County Magistrate Li will also mention it to Secretary Fang and County Magistrate Bu at that time."
