"Wan Lian from the Finance Bureau." The man immediately introduced himself: "Secretary Wang still remembers that we met when you and County Magistrate Li were together at Laoxiangji Beef Noodles."

"Oh!" Wang Zhongqiu patted his forehead and then remembered.

Wan Lian, the deputy director of the Finance Bureau, was the one who paid for his meal. Why did he forget it?

"Hello, Director Wan." After shaking hands with Wan Lian, Wan Lian accidentally inquired about the private room where Wang Zhongqiu was, without saying anything. After greeting him, the two returned to their respective private rooms.

Wan Lian was invited to have dinner with the members of the Finance Bureau tonight, and he also practiced it for him in advance.

He went to Duoshan Township to serve as the secretary of the township party committee. It will be put on the agenda next Monday. Unless there are any major accidents, the success rate is basically 100%.

Although Duoshan Township is relatively far away from the county seat and is a poor township, at any rate he is the top leader and has an upright department level. The next step is to be transferred back to the county seat. If he is not good, he will be the director. If he is not good, he may be promoted to the county leader.

People are in high spirits during happy events, so they drink a lot. They say it is convenient to go to the bathroom, but in reality they are roaring to the ground, picking their throats and vomiting all over.

Unexpectedly, I met Wang Zhongqiu unexpectedly.

Wang Zhongqiu cannot remember Wan Lian, but Wan Lian cannot help but know Wang Zhongqiu.

The county magistrate's secretary is a person who can be half of the county magistrate's family. Who doesn't want to curry favor with him?

They all wanted to have a good relationship with Wang Zhongqiu, cross his single-plank bridge, and then catch a ride with the county magistrate.

Wan Lian returned to his seat, thinking that his thoughts were not as lively as before.

Shang Yonghai, the financial director on the side, asked him: "Lao Wan, what's wrong with you? You pissed and lost your soul."

"No, I just met a person, Wang Zhongqiu."

"Who is Wang Zhongqiu?" Zhou Xianrang, director of the budget section of the Finance Bureau on the other side, joked.

"Old Zhou, don't take it seriously. Wang Zhongqiu is County Magistrate Li's secretary. Who do you think he is? Maybe he is the one who can decide your future."

As soon as these words came out, the dinner party fell silent, and everyone looked at each other.

Only Shang Yonghai remained calm. When he reported to Li Yuanlang, he saw Wang Zhongqiu and asked Wan Lian: "Is this really Secretary Wang?"

"Of course, I met him once, but he was not County Magistrate Li's secretary at that time." Wan Lian answered with certainty.

"This person is indeed the key." Shang Yonghai's expression also became serious.

He looked at Zhou Xianrang and said, "It is said that this time, Secretary Lei gave County Magistrate Li the decision-making power to appoint the deputy director of the Water Conservancy Bureau and our Finance Bureau. County Magistrate Li is not from Daiding County, and he doesn't understand you, Mr. Zhou.

Zhong Qiu is a native of the mountainous countryside. He has worked in the county committee office and the youth league committee for several years. If County Magistrate Li asks his opinion, do you think he is important?"

This kind of person is just trying to make sugar, not sweet, make acetic acid. His words may be able to change the judgment and decision of the leader.

Zhou Xianrang immediately paid attention to it.

Even Wan Lian is also speculating on Li Yuanlang's attitude towards him serving as party committee secretary.

Support or deny?

If Li Yuanlang raised objections at the Standing Committee, it would be difficult for Lei Zhen to take the position in order to strike a balance.

So he suggested going to a private room to toast Wang Zhongqiu.

Shang Yonghai glared at Zhou Xianrang, "Why are you just staring at me? Hurry up, let's go there together."

Wang Zhongqiu was talking to Zhang Wanyou, Wang Quan and the others when suddenly the door to the private room was opened and three people came in. There were various high-end wines on the trolley behind them, and they seemed to be here to toast.

Everyone knew each other at first glance: it was Shang Yonghai, Wan Lian and Zhou Xianrang.

The Finance Bureau is different from the Water Affairs Bureau. Among the major bureaus under the county government, finance is among the first-class bureaus. Those who manage money are the real God of Wealth.

Good guy, the first and second leaders of the Finance Bureau, together with the most powerful budget section chief, almost captured the entire leadership team of the Finance Bureau, and took the initiative to come to the Water Bureau's dinner to toast. This was almost impossible before.

It's not enough for the Water Conservancy Bureau to toast the Finance Bureau. It depends on whether the Finance Bureau is willing to pay attention to you.

Now there has been a complete reversal, all because of one person, Wang Zhongqiu.

Zhang Wanyou and Wang Quan immediately came over to greet the three of them, while Shang Yonghai and the others shook hands symbolically and immediately walked to Wang Zhongqiu.

King Zhongqiu of Shang Yonghai was naturally familiar with him, Wan Lian was someone he just remembered, and as for Zhou Xianrang, he didn't know him at all.

After introduction, Wang Zhongqiu learned that Zhou Xianrang was the chief of the budget unit.

Zhang Wanyou then introduced Liu and Liu Yuanshan to the three of them.

Hearing that he was Wang Zhongqiu's father-in-law, the three of them immediately smiled and shook hands and said hello, praising Liu Yuanshan for finding a good son-in-law and saying that he was very lucky in this life.

Zhang Wanyou and Wang Quan asked Shang Yonghai and others to sit down. Anyway, the table was big enough, so there would be no problem for a few more people.

After sitting down, they drank and chatted again, and started a new round of flattering Wang Zhongqiu.

Wang Zhongqiu didn't intend to drink too much, but he couldn't stand the group of people toasting one after another. He couldn't resist it. He drank not only white wine, but also several glasses of red wine. Together with the beer before, Wang Zhongqiu quickly became drunk and drooped.

My head is spinning everywhere I look.

As for how he returned home later, he didn't even remember.

When I woke up the next morning, I had a splitting headache. When I looked at the time, I was so surprised that I almost fell down.

There is still more than half an hour before work starts. Wang Zhongqiu has never been late since he started working as Li Yuanlang's secretary.

After briefly freshening up, I hurriedly picked up my briefcase and took a taxi to the county government office.

When he was paying for the taxi, he accidentally touched something hard in his coat pocket.

I took it out and saw that it was a bank card and a piece of paper with the card password written on it, but nothing else.

Wang Zhongqiu was so surprised that he broke into a cold sweat.

This is no small matter. He actually accepted a gift from someone else, and he was so confused that he didn't know who gave it to him.

Quickly find a nearby bank's ATM machine, insert the card and enter the password, and the numbers will be displayed quickly.

Darling, there is a "3" in front of it, followed by several zeros. Counting it up, it's a total of thirty thousand yuan.

For Wang Zhongqiu, whose salary is only 3,500, this is definitely a huge amount of money.

Wang Zhongqiu was dumbfounded. He walked into Li Yuanlang's office with an uneasy heart, and stood in front of Li Yuanlang in a formal manner, his whole body was withering.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, prepare quickly, we will set off in half an hour." Li Yuanlang said as he gathered things.

"Hey!" He couldn't help but be startled when he saw that Wang Zhongqiu didn't move.

"County Magistrate, I, I took a bribe, please deal with me." As he spoke, Wang Zhongqiu placed the bank card and the white note in front of Li Yuanlang.

"What's going on?" Li Yuanlang took it over and looked at it, then asked in confusion.

Wang Zhongqiu told Li Yuanlang the process that he could remember last night.

"So, you don't know who gave you the bank card?"

"I really can't remember it, I have no impression at all."

Li Yuanlang analyzed that Wang Quan and Zhou Xianrang could not be eliminated. They were both candidates to be promoted this time. He took this opportunity to curry favor with Wang Zhongqiu so that Li Yuanlang could choose them. His little calculation was loud and clear.

"Ask your father-in-law, he might know." Li Yuanlang reminded.

Wang Zhongqiu became furious when he mentioned Liu Yuanshan.

He called Liu Ting on the way here and learned that Liu Yuanshan was also drunk, and for some reason there was an extra box of Maotai liquor and a box of Chinese cigarettes at home.

After all, it was more than 10,000 yuan.

What's even more annoying is that Wang Zhongqiu asked Liu Ting to persuade Liu Yuanshan not to use tobacco and alcohol, and if he didn't return it, he would hand it over.

Liu Yuanshan refused and said that it was a gift from someone else and he didn't ask for it. Wouldn't he be a fool to send it back?

Alas, this father-in-law is really obsessed with money and is beyond cure.

"Zhongqiu, this is not considered bribery. At least you should explain it clearly to the organization in time. We will wait until we come back to make plans for this matter. Let's go downstairs and get ready to go."

Li Yuanlang was very simple this time. The county government only sent one minibus according to his request.

Zhang Zhongqiang, Li Yifang, and leaders of the Agricultural Bureau and other relevant departments, there were only eight of them, and they were already waiting next to the minibus downstairs.

Li Yuanlang came to the door and got into the car, sitting behind the driver. Just as he was about to wave and drive, Li Fang came over and said: "County Magistrate, the people from the county TV station will be here soon. Do we need to wait for them?"

Li Yuanlang frowned, "Have you notified them already? Why didn't you abide by the time? No more waiting. Let's set off immediately. They will chase after us."

"Okay." Li Fang was about to tell the driver to drive when suddenly a taxi drove over and a man and a woman got out of it.

The man is holding the camera and the woman is holding the microphone.

Li Yuanlang saw that the woman looked so familiar, and when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Chapter completed!
