While the old couple was setting up a fitness room for their son, Liu Ziguang was not idle either. At this moment, he was meeting with two guests in the office. One of them was the fast-knife prodigal son who became famous in the Jiangbei underworld for cutting off the right hand of Ma Chun, the number one thug in the splendid gang.
Wang Wenjun, another guest is Xu Yukai, a former Marine brigade noncommissioned officer who once served as a special police squadron leader in the Kokang Special Administrative Region.
Since the last time Liu Ziguang organized a group of personnel to go to Myanmar for training, Wang Wenjun has stayed there. Even when Li Jianguo's contract expired and returned to China, he did not come back. Instead, he stayed in the local armed forces as a sniper. Later, due to personnel changes, Xu Yukai
He left the army with a group of brothers and smuggled to Hong Kong to make a living. However, because Wang Wenjun offended the local gang, he had to sneak back to China and seek further development.
"Brother Liu, we are here to join you." Wang Wenjun said. Although he had only graduated from high school for two years, he had been tempered by war and showed a more steady and calm demeanor than his peers. He sat on the chair with his waist high.
Standing up straight, he has the prowess of a soldier and the sharpness of a killer.
Liu Ziguang glanced around, and there were four people sitting in the office. Except for Wang Wenjun, they were all veterans and professional soldiers who had worked as mercenaries. To put it bluntly, these people had nothing good except fighting, but at this time he was not honest.
Is this kind of talent needed? Someone would give me a pillow when I was dozing off.
"Okay, let's go and have a drink!" Liu Ziguang waved his hand and took everyone to the hotel to catch up with him.
At the same time, Nantai County Magistrate Zhou Wen just returned home and was about to take off his coat to wash vegetables and cook to make up for his wife and children. Suddenly his cell phone rang. He picked it up and heard the voice of Lao Hong from the County Construction Bureau.
: "County Magistrate Zhou, do you have time now? I have some work matters that I would like to report to you alone."
Zhou Wen's heart moved and he said calmly: "Okay, see you at the Peace Hotel in half an hour."
The caller was Hong Hui from the Planning and Finance Section of the Construction Bureau, the husband of Sister Wang, a colleague of Liu Xiaojing’s work unit. As a native of Jiangbei City, his status in the County Construction Bureau, which values family connections, is very embarrassing. He is not even at the deputy section level.
He is already in his thirties, and it is hard to get along with Zhou Wen. How can he not do his best?
A month ago, Hong Hui made a separate ideological work report to Zhou Wen in the county, told some inside stories about the Construction Bureau, and compiled a detailed written information on the Construction Bureau's accounts and major projects over the years.
All the interpersonal relationships were included. When Zhou Wen got this information, he couldn't help but sigh, it's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. Hong Hui seems to be honest and kind, but he actually knows a lot about it.
"Lao Hong, your work performance is outstanding and your comprehensive ability is also very strong. The organization will definitely notice it." Zhou Wen said at that time.
For Hong Hui, this answer was nothing less than the sound of nature. The young and powerful county magistrate gave him full affirmation, indicating that he would later bear the logo of Zhou Ji and become a direct descendant of the county magistrate.
While County Magistrate Zhou was back in the city to visit relatives, Hong Hui also rushed back to the city by long-distance bus. After all, the county town is only a small place. It would be bad if someone saw him when he was in contact with the county magistrate. It was still in the city.
It was relatively safe. As soon as he arrived home, Lao Hong didn't even have time to eat before he called County Magistrate Zhou and agreed on a meeting place. He quickly rushed over and asked for a small private room on the second floor of the Peace Hotel. He ordered a pot first.
Biluochun waited slowly.
There was a noise in the corridor. Hong Hui was thinking about County Magistrate Zhou and hurriedly went out to take a look. It turned out to be a group of mixed society people walking past each other, chatting and laughing, and walked into the large private room on the other side of the corridor.
, Hong Hui was about to turn around when he saw the figure of County Magistrate Zhou.
"County Magistrate Zhou." Hong Hui greeted him and quickly stepped forward to shake hands. Zhou Wen shook hands with him and said, "Don't call me County Magistrate in the city. Just call me Xiao Zhou."
Hong Hui said: "How can that be done? We are about the same age, so I will call you Lao Zhou."
Zhou Wen smiled, thinking that you are much older than me, but he didn't say anything. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call you Lao Hong."
The two of them laughed, feeling something like an underground party joint. They entered the private room and called the waiter to order. Zhou Wen did his duty and ordered four or five dishes and two bottles of beer. He told the waiter that he didn't have to come in to greet him if he had nothing to do. After closing the door,
Hong Hui took out a small notebook and began to report on his work.
"The bidding process for the county hydropower station project was seriously irregular. Several bidders were stooges hired by Director Yu. They raised the price very high. In the end, only Director Yu's cousin won the bid. The whole process was done in secret.
The loss of national funds is at least two million yuan..."
"Is the evidence conclusive?" Zhou Wen asked with bright eyes.
Hong Hui smiled: "County Magistrate Zhou, the evidence is all ready-made. If you want to check it, there is it. They don't shy away from doing things at all. This is the unspoken rule of Nantai. Anyone who does things secretly will be laughed at."
How could Zhou Wen not understand these so-called hidden rules? He just wanted to confirm that he had not misjudged the person.
"Lao Hong, you have to be prepared. After a while, the organization may have to put more responsibilities on you." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
Hong Hui became excited and hurriedly expressed his position: "County Magistrate Zhou, I will definitely unite closely around the organization."
Suddenly Zhou Wen's cell phone rang. After he answered it, he said, "Oh, okay, if you have time, come to Peace Hotel 203."
When Hong Hui heard this, he quickly said: "County Magistrate Zhou, you still have work, so I'll leave first."
Zhou Wen said: "It's not about work, it's Xiao Sun from the County Public Security Bureau. You two just happened to meet. Xiao Sun is a pretty good comrade."
Hong Hui calmed down after hearing this, ordered two more dishes, two bottles of beer, and waited for Sun Jihai's arrival.
Although Sun Jihai from the Public Security Bureau is a native of Nantai, he, like Hong Hui, bears the label of Zhou Wen. In the middle of last year, Sun Jihai performed outstandingly and was promoted to deputy director of the Public Security Bureau by Zhou Wen. He also surrounded himself with some of his own people.
It can be said that Zhou Wen now has at least a small grasp of the Public Security Bureau.
In less than ten minutes, Sun Jihai hurried over, wearing casual clothes and carrying a small leather bag. Seeing Hong Hui's presence, he was stunned for a moment, then understood, and reached out to say hello: "Hello, Chief Hong."
They shook hands cordially with great enthusiasm. Zhou Wen said: "It's not working time now. Let's not talk about work or drink."
The three of them sat down and drank a few glasses of wine. Hong Hui stood up again to say goodbye: "County Magistrate Zhou, Director Sun, I really have to leave. My wife urged me."
"You, you, you didn't realize that you are still a strict henwife." Zhou Wen joked, but he secretly praised Hong Hui for his sense of humor. He knew that he and Sun Jihai had work to discuss, and the purpose of letting them meet was just to identify the enemy and ourselves, so as to facilitate future development.
At work, it’s natural to leave once you’ve met.
After Hong Hui left, Sun Jihai took out a piece of paper filled with words and said: "County Magistrate Zhou, the matter you asked me to investigate has become clear. Mr. Guan from the Finance Bureau has repeatedly misappropriated funds for his wife and children to speculate in stocks.
Causing huge losses, he also went to Macau many times to gamble, and each time the amount was quite huge."
Zhou Wen stood up and said: "It's not bad to let Shuo Shu be in charge of finance. No wonder Nantai County has never been able to get rid of the label of a poor county. Xiao Sun, how do you think this matter should be handled to minimize the negative impact?"
Sun Jihai knew that County Magistrate Zhou was not asking for his opinion, but was showing an attitude of respecting him. He thought for a while and said: "I think it would be better to ask the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to intervene. If the city intervenes directly, the resistance will be smaller.
"
Zhou Wen said: "I have the same opinion."
Deputy Director Sun laughed, picked up the wine glass and said, "County Chief Zhou, I respect you."
Everyone in Nantai County knows that Sun Jihai is County Magistrate Zhou’s loyal supporter. In fact, at the beginning, Sun Jihai didn’t want to have anything to do with Zhou Wen. He was just an assistant to the county magistrate and tourism director with no authority, and he was not Nantai County Magistrate.
The local people do not have as many resources as Sun Jihai. Anyway, Xiao Sun's father is also the retired prosecutor general of the Nantai Procuratorate. Many relatives in the family work in the political and legal department. According to the family's plan, Sun Jihai graduated from the Provincial Public Security College.
After that, I now work in the Legal Department of the County Public Security Bureau for a few years, and then go to the police station to practice. It is not a problem to become the deputy director of the County Public Security Bureau before retirement.
But that time completely disrupted the family's step-by-step plan. Fate linked Sun Jihai and Zhou Wen in everything. As Zhou Wen rose through the ranks, Sun Jihai's career also changed. He was first the chief of the legal department, and then the deputy director of the county bureau.
Although he is only the last deputy, for a young police officer under thirty years old, he has already reached the top in one step.
Sun Jihai was grateful to Zhou Wen from the bottom of his heart and believed that County Magistrate Zhou was his lucky star. Even though a group of people in the county always wanted to target County Magistrate Zhou, he had strong support from the province and city, and Secretary Xu was backing him up to smooth things over.
It's only a matter of time before Deputy County Magistrate Zhu and his gang follow Zhou Wen. In the future, his future will be more than just a county bureau chief.
The two drank a drink and talked about some work matters. Zhou Wen felt a little anxious and went out to the bathroom. Sun Jihai saw that he was almost done drinking. He called the waiter over, handed over five hundred yuan and said, "Please settle the bill first."
Already."
The waiter said: "Someone has already paid the bill just now."
Sun Jihai understood that it must be Hong Hui from the Construction Bureau who settled the bill first downstairs.
Zhou Wen was relaxing in front of the urinal in the bathroom. Suddenly, someone next to him touched him: "Zhou Wen, what a coincidence."
Zhou Wen was stunned. Except for his family and superiors, not many people dared to call him by his name. When he turned around, he saw that it was his old classmate Liu Ziguang.
"It's you, old classmate." Zhou Wen shook, lifted up his pants and said with a smile. Among all the junior high school classmates, he and Liu Ziguang got along the best. Only the two of them could talk. After all, they were on the same level.
There are more people to talk to together. Although Zhuo Li is also an old classmate, he does a side business. As the county magistrate, Zhou Wen thinks it is better to have as few contacts as possible.
After returning to the private room, Liu Ziguang came over soon with a wine glass and insisted on having sex with Zhou Wen. Sun Jihai stood up in a hurry to protect the master and said: "County Magistrate Zhou is drunk, I will drink with you."
But Zhou Wen pushed him away and said, "This is my old classmate, National People's Congress representative, outstanding young entrepreneur, Liu Ziguang."
Sun Jihai made a long admiration gesture: "Oh, Mr. Liu, I need a toast."
