Chen Hao smiled sarcastically: "I'm not afraid of the big or small of the matter, I'm afraid of someone deliberately causing trouble."
Lu Zhiguo was stunned: "Reporter Chen, what do you mean... did Leader Wang do it on purpose?"
Chen Haodao: "Of course, otherwise why didn't he tell us what materials he lacked at once, instead of tossing us back and forth.
Or maybe there is no shortage of materials at all, but he is just deliberately looking for trouble to retaliate against us."
Lu Zhiguo's old face suddenly turned red with anger: "I thought there was really a lack of materials, but it turned out that you were bullying again... Reporter Chen, you have exposed it to him, and he has apologized to us, why do you still dare to do this?
Isn’t he afraid of your second exposure?”
Chen Haodao: "First, Wang Haipeng was angry after being punished by me, and he was unwilling to apologize. With hatred in his heart, he naturally wanted to retaliate against us.
However, his revenge this time was relatively covert and he took advantage of the rules of doing things, so it is difficult to accuse him openly."
"Second, Wang Haipeng thinks that it was luck that I exposed him the first time. It is impossible for him to be exposed to the same level as the first time the second time, so he is not afraid. This involves news promotion and operation issues, which you don't understand."
"Thirdly, when Wang Haipeng did this, he must have the tacit approval of his leadership, otherwise he would never dare to do it.
If the agricultural machinery department really knew that it was wrong, Su Hongyun would have greeted us personally and apologized in public when we first entered the door. But did you see Su Hongyun come forward?
No, that means he still doesn’t take us seriously.”
Lu Zhiguo groaned and said anxiously: "I thought the matter must have been resolved, but I didn't expect there were so many things in it.
Reporter Chen, since they want to make things difficult for us, what should we do?"
Chen Hao smiled and said: "Cold salad."
Lu Zhiguo didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Chen Hao smiled and said: "Uncle Lu, you don't have to worry about it, didn't I say that?
I will be responsible for this matter to the end.
You don't have to worry. Just do whatever Wang Haipeng tells you to do. I will naturally have a way to deal with him.
It just might take you some time."
Lu Zhiguo felt relieved after hearing this: "It doesn't matter, my time is not valuable.
Besides, you were delayed for almost two months before, do you still care about this little time?"
Chen Hao smiled and said: "That's right."
Back in the village, Lu Zhiguo took his family's ID cards and hurried back without stopping.
Entering the management section of the agricultural machinery department, Lu Zhiguo handed his family's ID cards to Wang Haipeng.
"You are very efficient. In less than two hours, you actually made two trips to the city and the countryside."
Wang Haipeng felt happy when he saw that Lu Zhiguo was so tired, so he deliberately teased him.
Chen Haodao: "It's definitely faster to take a taxi back and forth."
Wang Haipeng gloated: "Really? It's not a long journey from here to Hongxing Village.
Reporter Chen, you are bleeding heavily this time. I wonder if your living expenses can be guaranteed this month?"
Chen Hao chuckled: "If someone reimburses you, what are you afraid of? It doesn't matter if you take a taxi ten times."
Wang Haipeng stopped talking, smiled coldly, and thought to himself: "Okay, if I let you succeed, I will let you drive ten more times, and I will torture you and this old bastard to death."
He took the ID card, looked at it pretendingly for a long time, and said, "Well, the ID card and the household registration are matched, which means your personal information is authentic."
Lu Zhiguo said: "Can we do it now?"
Wang Haipeng shook his head and said: "No, it's still a little bit worse. Your application is not enough to have a personal signature. It also needs to be stamped by the Village Council."
Lu Zhiguo said: "Why didn't you tell me before?
If you need a stamp, I just returned to the village and went directly to the Village Council to get it stamped."
Wang Haipeng said calmly: "You didn't even ask."
Lu Zhiguo said: "I don't even know if I need a stamp, how can I ask?"
Wang Haipeng rolled his eyes and said, "You don't even know what to say to me."
Lu Zhiguo held back his anger and said: "Leader Wang, apart from the application form that needs to be stamped, what other materials are needed?
Please tell me clearly once and for all."
Wang Haipeng said: "Just do this."
Lu Zhiguo said: "Are you sure?
Don't leave anything behind and make our trip in vain."
Wang Haipeng said impatiently: "Why are you so ink-stained? If you don't believe me, don't do it."
Lu Zhiguo had no choice but to turn around and leave.
After walking out of the door and onto the street, Chen Hao stopped a taxi in a familiar manner.
"Reporter Chen, I asked you all the questions just now. All I need is to get the application stamped. This time, the man named Wang can't do anything to embarrass us anymore, right?"
After getting in the car, Lu Zhiguo asked.
Chen Hao shook his head: "Uncle Lu, you don't know the disgusting tricks of these people."
Lu Zhiguo said: "I have all the materials. He should have nothing to say, so how can he be embarrassed?"
Chen Haodao: "Just watch when the time comes and be prepared to continue tossing."
Lu Zhiguo sighed and said no more.
The two returned to the village for the third time. Lu Zhiguo arrived at the village meeting, asked the leader to stamp the application form, and then hurried back.
Returning to the Management Section of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau, before Lu Zhiguo handed in the stamped application form, Wang Haipeng stood up: "We got off work at noon and are not working for the time being. You can come back after 1:30 in the afternoon."
So Lu Zhiguo returned without success for the fourth time.
As expected, Chen Hao took Lu Zhiguo to a restaurant, ate and chatted, and spent noon time.
After going to work in the afternoon, the two came to the management section of the agricultural machinery department again.
Lu Zhiguo handed the stamped application form to Wang Haipeng: "Leader Wang, you said in the morning that all the materials needed was the stamp. Now that I have stamped it, can I apply for the subsidy?"
Wang Haipeng only glanced at it, then put it aside and said in a long voice: "Originally, after your application was stamped, there was indeed no shortage of materials, but unfortunately, the leader called just now and said that some additional materials were needed to apply for the subsidy.
The material is the agricultural machinery operation certificate, have you brought it?"
Lu Zhiguo couldn't help it anymore: "Leader Wang, why do you need an agricultural machinery operation certificate to apply for subsidies?
Does it matter?"
Wang Haipeng sneered: "You don't need to know what's the matter. If you want to apply for a subsidy, you have to bring the materials. Do you understand?"
Lu Zhiguo was angry, but thinking of Chen Hao's words, he calmed down: "I understand."
After leaving the agricultural machinery department and getting into a taxi, Lu Zhiguo smiled bitterly and said: "Reporter Chen, you are absolutely right. There are so many disgusting tricks they use to torment people. I just wanted to keep it simple."
Chen Hao said: "Uncle Lu, be prepared. Things will definitely not be done today. If you delay it until tomorrow, there will probably be something even more disgusting.
But I promise, I will only delay you for two days at most, so please feel sorry for me for a while."
Lu Zhiguo shook his head and said: "I have no grievance. I have also bought fertilizer now. I don't have anything to worry about. I only wasted two days."
But you have been accompanying me all this time, which is really troublesome for you."
Chen Hao smiled and said nothing, thinking: "For the sake of merit, this little trouble is nothing."
