Hu Fei felt extremely angry about the lawless use of power by officials at the grassroots level, but he was also helpless. This was a reality deeply poisoned by the idea of officialdom.
Whoever is an official would not have the idea of putting himself above the masses. The pleasure of looking down at all sentient beings and having a single word determine life or death is exactly what many people in the officialdom strive for.
To change this situation, we must get rid of the idea of officialdom from the root, and let officials understand that they are only people elected by the people to perform official duties, rather than being elected to exercise authority and prosperity.
However, this is a legacy of five thousand years of history, something that has eroded officialdom to its core. The process of getting rid of this kind of thinking must be very long, very long.
Now was not the time to think about this. Hu Fei put out his cigarette, picked up the microphone on the table and called Hai Minghui, "Secretary Hai, Governor Guan has something to ask me and wants to go back to Baisha right away."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. You don't have to come back tomorrow. Just come back on duty on the seventh day of the lunar month. During this time, you have been busy at work without taking any rest, and you haven't taken care of your family either."
Hai Minghui on the other side of the phone readily agreed.
After plugging the phone, Hu Fei informed Qin Xiaoyong to prepare the car. The reason why Guan Pingzhi was looking for him was just an excuse. Hu Fei believed that Hai Minghui did not dare to call Guan Pingzhi.
"Boss, do you want me to go with you?"
Qin Xiaoyong saw Hu Fei coming out and immediately greeted him.
"No, I won't be back tomorrow. I'll take a bus from Baisha back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. You can keep an eye on me during the Spring Festival. If you need anything, call me."
Hu Fei shook his head and walked out.
Although it wasn't snowing anymore, the snow on the road had already been crushed into ice, so we didn't dare to drive too fast. When we arrived at Yujingyuan, it was already past three in the afternoon.
"Xiao Zheng, take a rest and go back to Wuling early tomorrow morning. Pick me up at home on the afternoon of the sixth day of the lunar month."
Hu Fei greeted Zheng Xiaopeng and got out of the car with his handbag.
Originally, Hu Fei wanted to have a warm relationship with Yang Qianxi, but when Kuang Yan was arrested, he could not remain indifferent. On the way, he had already made an appointment with Lian Zheng to meet at a teahouse at four o'clock.
I went home, washed my face, sorted out my thoughts, then picked up my handbag, grabbed my car keys, and went out.
Hu Fei drove to the teahouse and saw Lian Zheng waiting in the lobby with a smile on his face.
"Mayor Hu, I have wanted to treat you to dinner for a long time to thank you, and I finally have the chance today."
Lian Zheng held Hu Fei's hand and shook it vigorously, "No matter what, I have to do this tonight, not only to thank you for your help, but also to celebrate you, the youngest mayor of Jiangnan Province."
"Tongle, Tongle, then thank you Director Lian."
Hu Fei chuckled. Lien Zheng finally got his wish and was promoted to the deputy department level. He was also the deputy director of the Provincial Supervision Department. Compared with the position of director of the Second Supervision Office, he naturally had greater power.
The two of them entered the tea room, and the waiter brought a pot of hot tea. After some pleasantries, Hu Fei went straight to the topic, "Director Lian, I have something to ask you for help."
"Oh, as long as my old company can help with anything, I will never be vague about it."
Lian Zheng patted his chest. Of course he knew how capable Hu Fei was. Being able to help Hu Fei and make Hu Fei owe a favor was something that many people would like to have.
"It's like this. You know when I worked in Lanshan County, the conditions were very difficult. I had a friend who supported my work very much. I still owe her a favor..."
Hu Fei said a few words briefly, naturally not saying that Kuang Yan was arrested, but starting from the project in their town, and only mentioned something about Hu Zuo of the Lanshan County Commission for Discipline Inspection.
"Even the director, who is celebrating the New Year, arrested people before the case was even investigated and prevented them from celebrating the New Year. What a pitiful thing to be left with is a five or six-year-old kid."
Hu Fei sighed, "I'm not saying that the way your Discipline Inspection Commission works is wrong, but sometimes you can be flexible and let people go home for the New Year. Let me vouch for it. Kuang Yan went to the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission to find me!"
"
"These people are really playing the piano randomly."
Lian Zheng was furious and slapped the table gently. It was a big deal that Hu Fei could care about a department-level cadre. "I'll make a call."
"Director Lian, I'm sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."
Hu Fei got up and walked out knowingly.
After coming out of the room, Hu Fei took out his cell phone and dialed Wen Jingfang's number, telling her to take good care of Bao'er. Kuang Yan was fine soon and then hung up the phone.
After making the call, Hu Fei took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff. Kuang Yan's face became clearer and clearer in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy. He thought she had faded from his memory, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
What should we do next?
After finishing smoking a cigarette, Hu Fei estimated that Lian Zheng had finished making phone calls, so he slowly returned to the door of the room and knocked on the door.
"It's okay. I just made a phone call to reserve a place. Let's go have dinner."
Lian Zheng opened the door and nodded to Hu Fei with a smile.
"Director Lian, thank you."
Hu Fei smiled and nodded his thanks, feeling relieved. It wasn't that he couldn't find anyone to help with this matter, but Hu Fei didn't want others to think of his relationship with Kuang Yan. After all, a young female cadre in her prime was living with someone far away.
The young deputy mayor hundreds of kilometers away naturally has too much room for imagination.
The two of them had just left the teahouse and were talking when Hu Fei's cell phone rang. He quickly took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and immediately answered the call, "Sister, I've arrived in Baisha, and I'm getting ready to have dinner with Director Lien of the Supervision Office.
Well, where are you?"
"Brother, you are here in Baisha. Sister Huang and I are a little tired from shopping. We are about to go to Furong Restaurant to eat with Sister Huang. Where are you going to eat?"
Yang Qianxi on the other side of the phone answered immediately.
"Oh, that's a coincidence. We also want to go to Furong Restaurant for dinner."
Hu Fei was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
"See you later."
Yang Qianxi on the other side of the phone hung up the phone decisively.
"My cousin is the one who donated three million to our province last time."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Fei held the phone and explained to Lian Zheng, "She was shopping with Governor Huang's daughter and was about to go to Furong Restaurant for dinner."
"What a coincidence, it's just the right time to get a table together."
Lian Zheng chuckled. There seems to be no other governor named Huang in the province except Huang Cheng, deputy governor of the Standing Committee. Hu Fei is a great guy. He plays so well with the children of the provincial party committee bosses.
For him, having a chance to have a meal with Huang Cheng's daughter is also a good opportunity. Maybe it will come in handy one day.
"Well, let's take a look and talk about it later."
Hu Fei nodded, "Director Lian, have you brought the car?"
"I have a car, just follow me."
Lian Zheng carried his handbag, waved to Hu Fei, and walked towards his car.
Hu Fei started the car, remembering Yang Qianxi's decisiveness in hanging up the phone just now, a wry smile appeared on his face. This girl is so smart, she must know why he is looking for the leader of the Supervision Office. Could it be that she is jealous?
ps, please give me a monthly ticket, thank you sir.
