In the villa suite of Luzhuang Government Hotel, Mayor Zhou Qian was watching TV in the living room, but he kept changing the channels, obviously he was a little impatient and anxious.

Suddenly, the cell phone he placed on the table rang, and Zhou Qian's anxious spirit was revived. He immediately reached for the phone, but after reaching out to get the phone halfway, he stopped. Then he looked at the caller ID. It was called by his office director Shi Baolian. Zhou Qian breathed a sigh of relief, waited deliberately for a while before picking up the phone and answering: "Hello, who?"[.]

"Hello Mayor Zhou, I am Shi Baolian. I'm sorry to call you at night to disturb you for rest." Shi Baolian said.

"It doesn't matter. As leading cadres, we should have the spirit of putting work first in everything," said Zhou Qian. "Director Shi, is there anything important to call you so late?"

Hearing Zhou Qian’s two consecutive questions, Shi Baolian thought this person was very good at pretending.

The female relatives of the mayor's family greeted him all, but on the surface they still answered normally: "It's like this Mayor Zhou. I just received a report from the comrades in the bureau below that Chen Ping relied on his own as the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau and took all the cadres of the Environmental Protection Bureau to eat and drink in the hotel with public funds, and wasted wantonly and extravagantly."

Zhou Qian said seriously: "Director Shi, is this a matter true? You have to know that our provincial party committee and government repeatedly emphasize reducing the expenditure of the three public funds. This is a very serious problem. You cannot slander other comrades in the party at will!"

Shi Baolian firmly assured: "Mayor Zhou, you can rest assured that this is what the comrades in the bureau below saw with their own eyes. It was settled by Luo Yaming, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau's office. The surveillance video of the hotel can also prove this."

"Oh! Chen Ping is still too young after all. The money from the Party and the country should be taken from the people and used by the people. How can he be used so casually for food, drink and squandering? This is not only irresponsibility to the Party and the country, but also irresponsibility to himself!" Zhou Qian sighed, not only not only squandering public funds, but also irresponsible to him. He said shamelessly, "Director Shi, you will be responsible for writing a report on this matter tonight. I will submit this matter to the Municipal Party Committee and let the organization kill such an unhealthy practice."

Faced with Zhou Qian's order, Shi Baolian agreed and hung up the phone, and then asked the office pen to write a report overnight. The next morning, Shi Baolian handed it to Zhou Qian in person.

However, Zhou Qian was not so irritable. After he got the report and read it carefully, he found that there was no problem, he did not rush to make it public. Instead, he contacted and sought the support of other members of the Standing Committee. When the regular meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he would give Concubine Xiao Shu a surprise.

On Monday, Zhou Qian took the report that he had been holding on for a long time and walked into the municipal standing committee meeting room with high spirits and sat in his own seat.

After a while, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xiao Shufei walked into the office, and the Municipal Standing Committee meeting officially began. First, the meeting was Xiao Shufei, who presided over the meeting, gave the opening remarks of the meeting. As the number one county and city in Dongwu City and even the country, the focus of the meeting was naturally to focus on further developing the Luwu economy and completing the economic development tasks assigned by the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the Dongwu Municipal Party Committee.

After Xiao Shufei's opening remarks, Zhou Qian, as mayor, said: "Indeed, as one of the top 100 economic counties in the country, our Luzhuang City should continue to promote the development and growth of the county economy, but recently I have received a report that there has been serious corruption and unhealthy trend within our government."

Zhou Qian's words undoubtedly made everyone confused, but only then did everyone realize it.

Zhou Qian continued: "Just last week, Chen Ping, the newly appointed director of the Environmental Protection Bureau of the Organization, took the funds used to improve the environmental protection construction of our Luzhuang with the funds used to improve the environmental protection of our Luzhuang, and took the cadres from all over the world to eat and drink in the hotel. I think this is a very serious matter that shamed our party and the government!"

Although Zhou Qian had greeted many members of the Standing Committee last week, when Zhou Qian made this issue public, there was still an uproar.

However, it is no wonder that the central government and the provincial party committee and government have repeatedly demanded that the expenditure of the three public funds be reduced every year and that public funds are not allowed to be eaten and drunk, but within the system, no one really takes this seriously. As a deputy department-level cadre, Chen Ping is the deputy county magistrate in other places. It is also a matter of eating a 10,000 yuan official meal? Not to mention all the Standing Committee members here, including his mayor Zhou Qian, have never done such a thing? And it is not a matter of laughing at a hundred steps, but a thousand steps of laughing at a fifty step.

From this perspective, Zhou Qian deliberately found out that this matter was just to cause trouble for Concubine Xiao Shu.

After hearing Zhou Qian's words, Concubine Xiao's face darkened at that time. She frowned and said to Zhou Qian: "Mayor Zhou, the issue of the three ministers should be left to the Municipal Party Committee Office for investigation. There is no need to take it to the Standing Committee meeting, right? What we discussed at this Standing Committee meeting should be about further developing the county economy."

"Secretary Xiao, I think before talking about economic development, we should first govern officials. If our cadre team is not pure, how can we ensure that all the decisions made by our municipal party committee will be implemented and implemented?" Zhou Qian continued, "So, I think that for Chen Ping's arbitrarily squandering public funds and shame the party and the government, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection must set up a special joint investigation team to conduct a thorough and detailed investigation into this matter and severely punish the relevant responsible persons!"

After saying that, Zhou Qian also took out a report and said: "This is the report and handling opinions I asked the office to make overnight, so we can refer to it together."

As Zhou Qian said, he began to circulate the report to the people around him. Then he looked like a dark cloud pressing against the dark clouds and a gloomy face. Although his face was still full of pain, in fact, he felt very proud.

Concubine Xiao Shu, Concubine Xiao Shu, although I don’t know what the abacus you were about to arrange Chen Ping to the Environmental Protection Bureau, I have to say that if you take Chen Ping as your confidant, that is definitely your biggest failure.

I admit that Chen Ping may have a high political IQ, but his youth is destined to be impossible for him to consider everything. Just like this time, if he was replaced by an old cadre, at such a critical moment, he would definitely be cleansed and avoid anything that could be caught in the braid.

Moreover, being young means being unable to hold back and being impatient. You must know that Chen Ping is now the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau. Even if the deputy directors below give him eye drops, as time goes by, these people will sooner or later obey him. Why do you have to be so anxious to control the overall situation at this time?

Besides, using the method of treating guests to dinner is too naive. If you can conquer the loyalty of your subordinates just by just a dinner party, what kind of art is the leader? Young people are young people, and their ideas are so naive!

Zhou Qian thought contemptuously in his heart, and looked at the members of the Standing Committee around him, obviously they were very supportive of his proposal. At this time, even Concubine Xiao was afraid that it would be difficult to stop something? At this time, Zhou Qian felt that he had grasped the overall situation, whether it was Concubine Xiao’s ideas or other members of the Standing Committee.

However, what Zhou Qian could never imagine was that when he was feeling contented, Concubine Xiao suddenly said: "If it is indeed a waste of public funds, it should be punished, but what puzzled me is that I don't understand where Mayor Zhou got this news?"
