Chapter 301 No good wine, no good banquet
The driver continued the conversation, "I heard that the seafood in Shanhu Manor is all flown in, and the meat and vegetables are all raised and grown in Shanhu Manor's own breeding farm. It is non-organic, pollution-free, and pure green food. Now all the officials are
They attach great importance to health preservation. They don’t eat the things we ordinary people buy from the vegetable market, and even ordinary people cannot eat them.”
When these words reached Li Yuanlang's ears, they were extremely harsh.
Although the taxi driver's words are unfair, they are also an indisputable fact.
Nowadays, some cadres are aloof, seriously out of touch with the masses, and regard themselves as government officials.
They don't eat what the common people eat, and they don't use what the common people use. They specialize in specialization.
For example, there are many high-end cigarettes and alcoholic drinks on the Internet with labels that are specially provided by so-and-so, saying that they are exclusive to so-and-so. The price is ridiculously expensive, but people with strong vanity pay high prices to get them, thinking that they can also be with so-and-so.
Somehow, enjoy this good thing.
Actually it is not.
Just think about it, the products used by so-and-so are specially prepared, have special formulas, are supervised by special personnel, and are never circulated in the market.
Therefore, those things labeled as special offers are basically all fake, just to satisfy the vanity people, and also to kill them severely.
The driver was very interesting and talkative. Once the conversation started, he couldn't stop the car. He didn't care about Li Yuanlang's thoughtful state and started talking non-stop.
"Shanhu Manor receives all dignitaries. Our county leaders often go here, especially County Magistrate Rong, who is a frequent visitor here."
Rong Zibin?
Not only did Li Yuanlang become vigilant, if he had known about these things at Shanhu Manor, Li Yuanlang would not have come.
When I heard Ge Yunhui talking about Shanhu Manor, I thought it was a farmhouse.
Next time you encounter something like this, you must inquire clearly and don't fight without preparation.
It's too late to say anything now. The business car in front has already turned off the road out of the city, and the outline of Shanshui Manor has already appeared in front of us.
It is located in an open area at the foot of the mountain, connected by mountains and rivers, shaded by trees, pavilions and pavilions, with an antique charm.
It is now the late autumn season, and covered with yellow leaves, it can be regarded as a unique landscape.
If it is summer, the scenery here should be even more beautiful.
No wonder dignitaries like to come here. Enjoying the beautiful scenery and delicious food is definitely the most beautiful thing in the world.
The commercial car stopped at the gate. The driver and the security guard at the gate didn't know what they said. Anyway, when he raised the lever, the security guard made a letting go gesture towards the taxi.
When the taxi passed by, the security guard saluted politely.
The taxi driver smacked his lips in shock: "My dear, in the past I only sent people to the gate, but this cadre, you are the first one to let them in."
After saying these words, the driver couldn't help but secretly wonder, who is this passenger? Is he just a stock manager?
Li Yuanlang didn't react at all to all this. Was he thinking that it was just a simple meal tonight?
The taxi drove in, and the driver couldn't see enough. He muttered as he drove: "I have lived in Xiwu County for decades, and today this is the first time I come here. We ordinary people are rich, but others don't accept us.
What is implemented here is a membership system, and non-members can only look outside."
The commercial vehicle made twists and turns on the asphalt road in the woods, and finally stopped in front of a three-story building.
This dark gray three-story building is very long, with two large red lanterns hanging at the door. Two young women wearing uniform gray professional attire stood on both sides of the door to welcome guests.
What's even more strange is that a middle-aged man wearing glasses is standing on the front steps, looking forward to it.
When I saw a commercial car approaching, I walked to the front of the car, ready to greet the people in the car.
Unexpectedly, the driver said a few words to him and pointed to the taxi behind him.
The man hurriedly ran to the taxi again, opened the rear door, smiled at Li Yuanlang who was sitting inside and said, "Secretary Li, you are here."
That familiar face was full of smile lines, which made people have goosebumps all over their bodies and was extremely uncomfortable.
Li Yuanlang was very surprised. He had agreed to invite Ge Yunhui to dinner, so why was he here?
Now that he is here, it is not appropriate to leave at this time. If he does not give Ge Yunhui face, he will invisibly create an additional opponent, or an enemy, in the Standing Committee.
Once he's here, he'll be in peace. Who cares, it's not a tiger's mouth, so can't it eat people?
Li Yuanlang lowered his body and got out of the car. The man hurriedly put up an awning and handed the driver a hundred-dollar bill without waiting for Li Yuanlang to pay. He said he didn't need to change it.
The driver was a little confused with the one hundred yuan.
It's not that someone paid the fare generously, allowing him to earn more than 80 yuan more. The key point is that the young man doesn't look like a section chief, and when you think about it, the man with glasses calls him secretary.
Moreover, this man looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
While he was thinking wildly, a security guard came to the door of the building and urged him to drive away quickly.
It seems to say, how can you, a taxi driver, come to such a noble place?
There's nothing we can do, we can't afford to offend him and we can afford to hide him.
So, the taxi driver turned the steering wheel and drove out directly along the way he came.
After driving out of the gate of Shanhu Manor with four gilded characters, the driver glanced in the rearview mirror, and suddenly a person's name flashed in his mind.
That's right, it's him, it's him.
Sui Fengnian, secretary to county magistrate Rong Zibin, and the first secretary of the county government.
No wonder he looked familiar. A year ago, his son applied for the county civil service examination and scored first in the written examination.
Before the interview, someone reminded him to run it in advance, otherwise it would be too much.
He thought about it all night and looked through the family tree and finally found a distant relative who was only eight years old.
The man's name was Kang Yongsheng, and he was the leader of the comprehensive team of the county party committee. In the eyes of the driver, he was definitely a high official.
As a result, when he invited Kang Yongsheng to dinner, Kang Yongsheng told him in a roundabout way that he could not make the decision in this matter and needed to invite an official bigger than him to come. As long as that person nodded, the success rate would be less than 100%, if not 100%.
.
And Kang Yongsheng also said bluntly that this matter needs to be dealt with. We are relatives, I can't charge you a penny, but the person I am looking for is not an ordinary person, you must at least pay this amount.
His slap was worth 50,000 yuan, and he also said that it was all for his sake, and if it had been anyone else, 100,000 yuan might not be enough.
The driver gritted his teeth and agreed, and then he and Kang Yongsheng received the big shot, and this person was Sui Fengnian.
As for Sui Fengnian, after receiving the money, he sent the driver's son to a lower town. Not to mention being far away from home, the place was extremely poor and the conditions were very bad.
On the way back, the driver greeted all eight generations of Sui Fengnian's ancestors one by one.
After getting angry, he also wondered, what kind of official was the young man who could be treated with such respect by Sui Fengnian?
Just saying that Sui Fengnian appeared at the banquet tonight for no reason, Li Yuanlang was quite critical of Ge Yunhui's behavior.
Obviously, the Discipline Inspection Commission was investigating Guo Sihe's case. Sui Fengnian came here at this time for only one reason, it must be to work as a lobbyist for Guo Sihe.
Another one, Li Yuanlang had an unpleasant experience with Sui Fengnian before, and he also had trouble with his boss Rong Zibin.
People of different ways do not work together, and if they are forced to get together, there will be nothing to talk about except embarrassment. If I had known this, I should not have agreed to Ge Yunhui tonight, and I should not have come.
There is no point in saying anything now. There is a dog-skin plaster-ridden Sui Fengnian beside him, who is always by his side.
Since Rong Zibin became low-key and unassuming, Sui Fengnian's servant master was willing to be infected and rarely treated Li Yuanlang with respect.
From the moment he saw Li Yuanlang to the moment he walked into the box, his flattering smile never changed. Li Yuanlang already felt nauseous before he even ate.
Walking into the box, Ge Yunhui was already sitting in the main seat, smoking and chatting with someone next to him.
The man Li Yuanlang didn't know him, but he looked familiar. When he was in a daze, Ge Yunhui stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with Li Yuanlang, and said: "Secretary Li, you guys know each other in Fengnian, so I won't mention it. Let me introduce this to you."
…”
Li Yuanlang continued: "I originally thought it would be just the two of us for dinner tonight, but I didn't expect that there would be Secretary Sui and this..."
The name of the person he was pointing at suddenly flew into his memory cells.
"Are you Guo Sihe, the principal of County No. 1 Middle School?"
Su Fangwan's reporting materials only contained Guo Sihe's name, but the Discipline Inspection Commission's case handling materials contained Guo Sihe's photo.
Li Yuanlang only took a glance at it and didn't remember anything else. However, he remembered the big pancake face deeply.
However, Sui Fengnian had already dissatisfied him, but Ge Yunhui called Guo Sihe over again. What the fuss was about!
During the handling of the case, no private contact with the suspect is allowed. This is an express rule of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
Don’t you, an executive deputy county magistrate, understand?
When he thought of this, Li Yuanlang immediately turned down his face and said to Ge Yunhui: "County Magistrate Ge, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink tonight. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave."
Ignoring Sui Fengnian and Guo Sihe, Li Yuanlang turned around and strode directly to the door.
Unexpectedly, Sui Fengnian said behind him: "Secretary Li, please wait a moment. Deputy Director Guo has something to say to you."
Li Yuanlang said coldly: "If you have anything to say, go to the Discipline Inspection Commission, not over the wine table."
