Seeing Xie Gang crying with tears on his face, Yan Mingli was heartbroken.
After meeting Xie Gang, Yan Mingli went directly to the warden's office. Her purpose of meeting the warden was very simple. She hoped that the warden could change Xie Gang to a single room and reduce Xie Gang's labor intensity so that Xie Gang would not be too tired.
of life.
Did the warden agree? Of course not! The warden's name is Qian Jinlong. He is in his forties, bald, 1.6 meters tall, cross-eyed, with a flat nose and a big mouth. He looks very ordinary, despite Qian Jinlong's appearance.
Average, but very capable and highly valued by superiors.
Qian Jinlong was very principled in his work and would never do anything for personal gain. Now Yan Mingli wanted to open a back door for Xie Gang, but Qian Jinlong refused immediately, making Yan Mingli tremble with anger.
In terms of rank, Yan Mingli is higher than Qian Jinlong, but Yan Mingli has no power to interfere with prison matters. Although Yan Mingli is the Propaganda Minister and a deputy division cadre, in Dongcheng County, many system department heads do not let Yan Mingli go.
In the eyes.
Yan Mingli said a lot of nice things, and finally took out a bank card and planned to give a gift, but Qian Jinlong refused.
"Minister Yan, I'm very busy at work. If you have nothing else to do, please leave." Qian Jinlong said calmly.
"Warden Qian, please be accommodating... My son has never suffered hardship since he was a child. He really..." Before Yan Mingli could finish her words, she was interrupted by Qian Jinlong.
Qian Jinlong frowned: "Minister Yan, I am very considerate of your feelings as a mother, but I want to tell you that not only your son is suffering and suffering, but other prisoners are also the same. They have to undergo labor reform every day. Eight of them
Living in a dormitory is clearly stipulated. It is impossible for me to break the rules just for your son. Doing so would not be fair to other prisoners."
"Warden Qian, my son's constitution has been weak since he was a child, and he can't do very tiring work at all..." Yan Mingli still wanted to plead.
"I'm sorry, I really can't open the back door for your son." Qian Jinlong's attitude was very firm: "Minister Yan, I'm really busy. If you have nothing else to do, please leave." After saying that, Qian Jinlong took the drawer out of the drawer.
He took out a piece of information and read it, and stopped talking to Yan Mingli.
Yan Mingli didn't expect Qian Jinlong to be so difficult to talk to. Wouldn't it be better to reduce some labor and change the dormitory? Is it so difficult? Yan Mingli was angry and wanted to scold Qian Jinlong, but she held it back in the end. After all, her son Xie Gang
He is still in jail. If he offends Qian Jinlong now, his son Xie Gang's life in prison will be even more difficult.
After staying in the office for a few minutes, Yan Mingli left in despair, feeling so helpless and frustrated.
"Alas..." After Yan Mingli left, Qian Jinlong sighed: "How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are."
…
After being released from prison, Yan Mingli took a car back to the Propaganda Department, her face sullen and silent all the way.
When she thought of her son Xie Gang crying, Yan Mingli felt extremely uncomfortable. No! A trace of determination flashed in Yan Mingli's eyes: I must find a way to help Xie Gang, and I cannot let him suffer in prison!
But how can we help Xie Gang? Yan Mingli frowned. In the past, Yan Mingli thought that she was the Propaganda Minister, a deputy division cadre, and the number one person in Dongcheng County. But since her son was sentenced to jail
, Yan Mingli discovered that her energy in Dongcheng County was too low, and the heads of the departments below did not take her seriously at all.
Yan Mingli thought about it and only thought of one way, which was to ask Li Ming for help. Li Ming was the county magistrate of Dongcheng County after all, and Qian Jinlong should give him some face.
"Buzz buzz..."
A cell phone vibrated.
Yan Mingli took out her cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was Li Ming. What a coincidence. Li Ming called her just when Yan Mingli thought of Li Ming. Is this the so-called telepathic communication?
"County Magistrate Li..." Yan Mingli quickly answered the phone.
"Minister Yan, are you free at noon? Let's come out to have a meal together!" Li Ming's hearty laughter came from his hand.
"I'm free, I'm free." Yan Mingli nodded hurriedly.
"Well, do you know Shuiyuexuan Hotel?" Li Ming said, "We will meet at Shuiyuexuan Hotel at noon."
"Okay, I will be there on time." Yan Mingli put down her phone and breathed out softly: "Son, don't worry, I will definitely help you!"
at noon.
Yan Mingli arrived at Shuiyuexuan Hotel. Under the guidance of the waiter, Yan Mingli came to a private room on the third floor. When she walked into the private room, she was stunned and then frowned.
.
"Minister Yan is here." Li Ming waved to Yan Mingli: "Come, come and sit."
Yan Mingli stood there without moving, just staring sharply at the man sitting next to Li Ming. This man was none other than Bai Wei, the director of the Health Bureau.
Bai Wei felt uncomfortable being stared at by Yan Mingli. He stood up and said hello to Yan Mingli: "Minister Yan."
"Why are you here!" Yan Mingli said stiffly.
"Ah...I...I came here with County Magistrate Li..." Bai Wei looked a little embarrassed.
Yan Mingli turned to look at Li Ming: "County Magistrate Li, what do you mean? Why did you let Bai Wei come! Don't you know that I am very tired of Bai Wei!" Yan Mingli spoke in a very aggressive tone.
Li Ming frowned: "Minister Yan, there is nothing more than a small conflict between you and Director Bai. As for the relationship becoming so tense? I will be a peacemaker today. You each take a step back and don't continue the quarrel.
…”
"A small conflict?" Yan Mingli snorted coldly: "County Magistrate Li, you said it so easily. My son is already in jail. Is this a small conflict?"
"Minister Yan, the reason your son is in jail is because he committed illegal matters himself. It has nothing to do with Director Bai..." Before Li Ming could finish his words, he was interrupted by an angry Yan Mingli.
"County Magistrate Li, I don't like to hear what you are saying!" Yan Mingli's face was extremely gloomy: "If Bai Wei's son hadn't retracted his confession in court and put all the crimes on my son Xie Gang, what would happen to Xie Gang?
Will he go to jail? All this is caused by Bai Wei’s son!”
Bai Wei twisted his lips: "Minister Yan, my son just told the truth..."
"Fart!" Yan Mingli glared at Bai Wei: "I have asked Xie Gang carefully. Your son also drove the car at that time, but he was replaced by my son halfway..."
After being scolded by Yan Mingli, Bai Wei's face suddenly turned ugly: "Minister Yan, no matter what, it was your son who drove through the red light at that time!"
"You..." Yan Mingli was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Ming.
"Okay!" Li Ming patted the table: "Why are you making such a fuss? Can't you talk slowly if you have something to say? Minister Yan, Director Bai, please restrain your emotions and stop arguing! Come on, come and sit down.
!”
"County Magistrate Li, I'm sorry, I got angry when I saw Bai Wei! I don't even have any appetite to eat!" After saying that, Yan Mingli turned around and left the private room.
Li Ming's face darkened on the spot. This Yan Mingli was too disrespectful.
Bai Wei took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "County Magistrate Li, you have seen it, Minister Yan has a big prejudice against me."
"Leave her alone, let's eat!" Li Ming waved his hand.
Bai Wei nodded, said no more, pulled out his chair, sat down, and started eating with Li Ming.
…
Let’s talk about Yan Mingli. She regretted it as soon as she walked out of the private room. She didn’t regret quarreling with Bai Wei, but she regretted leaving too quickly and not having time to tell Li Ming about her son Xie Gang.
Forget it! Let’s go find Li Ming in the afternoon! Yan Mingli exhaled, raised her feet and left the hotel.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Mingli came to Li Ming's office. Unexpectedly, Li Ming was not there. After asking carefully, she learned that Li Ming did not come to work in the afternoon, so Yan Mingli had to take out her mobile phone and call Li Ming.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and then Li Ming's lazy voice came out: "Hello? Who is this?"
"County Magistrate Li, I am Yan Mingli." Yan Mingli said hurriedly.
"...Minister Yan...what do you want from me?" Li Ming asked.
"It's like this. My son Xie Gang is very unhappy in prison. He has to do a lot of labor every day. He sleeps in a dormitory with multiple people at night. People in the dormitory love to snore. It's so noisy that my son can't sleep well at all...
Yan Mingli said quickly: "I would like to ask you to come forward and intercede with Qian Jinlong, the warden of the prison, to reduce the labor intensity of my son, and to give my son a separate room to sleep in..."
The other end of the phone was silent and there was no response.
Yan Mingli waited for several minutes, but did not hear Li Ming's response. Yan Mingli frowned: "County Magistrate Li... County Magistrate Li... Are you still listening... County Magistrate Li..."
"...Oh...I'm listening...listening..." Li Ming finally responded, but his voice was a little unclear. He was drunk at noon, so he didn't come to work in the afternoon. Now Li Ming's head is dizzy.
Yes, how can I care to listen to what Yan Mingli has to say?
"County Magistrate Li, please help me..." Yan Mingli said.
"Yeah... OK... I'll help... Well, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first..." After saying that, Li Ming hung up the phone.
Yan Mingli was relieved when she heard that Li Ming agreed to help. She still had great confidence in Li Ming. After all, Li Ming was the county magistrate, and the warden Qian Jinlong should give him face.
…
This morning, Ma Xiaoyao was sitting in the office, holding a cup of tea in his hand and drinking it slowly.
Urban Construction Director Liu He sat opposite and reported to Ma Xiaoyao.
"Deputy County Magistrate Ma, basically all the old houses around the county have been demolished, and now only some old houses in the center of the county are left. If everything goes well, they can all be demolished within a month," Liu He said.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Very good! The Chinese New Year will be in just over a month, so we will try to complete it before the end of the year!"
"Yes!" Liu He responded: "I will definitely try to demolish all the old houses before the end of the year!"
