Official career

  Zhao Haijun smiled wryly and glanced at Liu Fei, then opened his mouth to say: "Alright, I'll speak up. In my opinion, this matter, no matter who is involved, must be investigated thoroughly. This is no longer just a simple case of corruption; it fully exposes that some cadres' minds are not focused on their work."

  Zhao Haijun's words had not finished, and the face of Yang Xuecheng, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, turned white, with cold sweat dripping down. Now, both county magistrates present have expressed their intention to handle this matter seriously. The 1 million yuan that Zhang Jianxin and others gave him in this incident is like a time bomb, keeping his nerves tense at all times.

  Liu Fei's gaze slowly fell on Yang Xuecheng, somewhat cold. This guy had repeatedly failed to give him face, and he didn't know if this matter was related to him. However, even if it wasn't related to him, he couldn't escape the relationship this time, because from the beginning, he was mainly in charge of this matter. Just this one thing was enough to bring him down. Liu Fei's cold voice sounded: "Director Yang, let's hear your opinion?"

  Yang Xuecheng, although inwardly tense, had to force a very calm expression on his face, cleared his throat and said loudly: "I agree with County Mayor Zhao's view, no matter who is involved, we must investigate to the end!"

  Liu Fei nodded, without asking Zhang Jianxin and Wang Sheng for their opinions. He glanced at his watch and asked: "Have you guys eaten yet? The food delivery will arrive soon, let's have a meal together."

  Yang Xuecheng had a bad premonition when he heard Liu Fei say that, his back felt cool and he said: "County Magistrate Liu, I've already eaten lunch, now my stomach is a bit upset, I'll go out for a walk." As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to head outside the school.

  He figured things would eventually catch up with him, so he decided to abscond with the money.

  Liu Fei smiled, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and reached out to grab Yang Xuecheng's arm, saying: "Hey, Director Yang, you're going the wrong way. There's a bathroom inside the teaching building, right there. Go ahead." As he spoke, Liu Fei pointed in the direction of the bathroom at Yang Xuecheng.

  Yang Xuecheng was shocked in his heart, oh no, could it be that this young man has seen through my intentions? Why else would he not let me leave? It shouldn't be possible, I've been acting very calmly, he shouldn't be able to tell. Thinking of this, Yang Xuecheng smiled and said: "County Magistrate Liu, I'm not used to the atmosphere here, I'll go to the toilet outside instead, the environment there is better."

  When he came, Yang Xuecheng had already asked the driver to stop the car outside the school, just in case. For this old and cunning guy, being highly vigilant at all times was a habit that had long been formed, like a rabbit with three burrows.

  Liu Fei smiled: "Well, Director Yang is right, I also have a bit of a feeling, so let's go together."

  Li Qing'an had long heard about the Hongqiao Hope Primary School, and rumors said that Director Yang's heart was very dark. Seeing Liu Fei's attitude, he knew that Liu Fei must have suspected Director Yang, so he chimed in: "Just right, I've been holding back for half a day, let's go together, it'll be more lively with more people."

  So, the Golden Cicada Shell plan that Yang Xuecheng had racked his brains to come up with was thus easily destroyed by Liu Fei and Li Qingan. The two of them were like two fully armed police officers escorting Yang Xuecheng in a steady pace towards - the toilet.

  When Yang Xuecheng returned from the toilet, his face had already turned pale and his legs began to tremble. He saw four new cars parked in the courtyard with several eye-catching big characters written on them - Xishan County Discipline Inspection Commission!

  Now, every step he took required great effort, his legs began to soften and his head began to spin, because he had seen in the crowd, a tall man who was with County Magistrate Zhao Haijun - Lei Hu. Lei Hu was the number one person in Xishan County's Discipline Inspection Commission, his name matched his personality, his temper was explosive, his appearance was fierce, but his mind was extremely meticulous, otherwise he wouldn't have been chosen to be the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. When it came to Lei Hu, almost all the cadres in Xishan County would go weak at the knees, they were most afraid of this dark-faced and iron-fisted Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and what they worried about most was being invited by this Iron-Faced Lei God to drink tea one day. Very few people could remain calm and keep their mouths shut under the attack of this Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

  When Liu Fei walked over, Lei Hu immediately quickened his pace and stretched out both hands with a loud and enthusiastic tone: "County Magistrate Liu, hello! I'm late, sorry to keep you waiting. I've already brought lunch for you, please go wash your hands with Secretary Li and get ready to eat. I'll go have some tea and chat with Director Yang, Secretary Zhang, and Mayor Wang, so we won't disturb you." After finishing speaking, Lei Hu turned his face to Yang Xuecheng and the others: "Everyone, please, our disciplinary committee's car has excellent air conditioning, much cooler than this hot place. We've already prepared top-grade Tieguanyin tea for everyone inside the car to dispel the heat. Oh, right, would you all mind handing over your communication devices before getting on the car? We'll return them to you after we finish drinking tea."

  Lei Hu's words were finished, and four people fainted on the spot.

  Yang Xuecheng, Director of the Urban Construction Bureau, Zhang Jianxin, Secretary of Hongqiao Town Committee, Wang Sheng, Mayor of the town, and Geng Jingzhong, Director of the Education Bureau. Liu Fei sneered and watched as several people were pulled up from the ground by the Discipline Inspection Commission and supported to walk towards the four cars brought by the Discipline Inspection Commission.

  His heart was coldly laughing: "It seems that County Committee Secretary Zhou is also a meticulous person, this move is 4 cars, plus the Discipline Inspection Commission secretary leading the team, it's very clear that they want to settle the matter in Xishan County, so as not to trouble when going back, after all, in Xishan County, Gong Chunshan's power is still very strong."

  Beside him, Secretary-General Li Qing'an now looked at Liu Fei with a gaze full of reverence.

  When Liu Fei was humiliated in Hongqiao Town, he endured the humiliation and walked away without saying a word, which made Li Qing'an appreciate his calmness. However, when Liu Fei said he wanted to visit Hope Primary School, Li Qing'an became curious, not knowing what Liu Fei had planned. But after witnessing what happened at the school, Li Qing'an gained more respect for Liu Fei, and only then did he realize the young county head's extraordinary strategic thinking ability, which was like a military tactic of "attacking from an unexpected direction" or "rescuing Zhao by besieging Wei". This move caught Li Qing'an off guard, making him look at Liu Fei in a new light. When Town Committee Secretary Zhang Jianxin and Town Mayor Wang Sheng walked in with two black briefcases, he guessed that they were involved in the matter, and seeing the bulging briefcases, he knew they intended to bribe the young county head with money.

  To be honest, at that time Li Qing'an really didn't think highly of Liu Fei. He felt that Liu Fei was young and would find it difficult to resist the huge temptation of money. At one point he had even given up hope, but when he saw the two people come out again, with their pale faces, trembling bodies, and desperate eyes, as well as Liu Fei's calm and collected expression, he knew that this seemingly young county head actually had such composure, facing the huge sum of money with ease. In fact, if he had known that Liu Fei had thrown away 600 million yuan at the time, his mouth would probably have been left agape in shock.

  In fact, at this point, he only admired Liu Fei.

  However, when he received Liu Fei's instruction to gather relevant leaders for a meeting, he felt that Liu Fei was still too young and lacked political wisdom. After all, such a big thing, just calling over a few main responsible persons, how could the problem be solved? Such things should be decided at the county magistrate's office meeting or even the standing committee meeting.

  However, when he saw the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Lei Hu, leading a team in four cars, he suddenly realized that he had not seen through Liu Fei's tactics. Until this moment, all the people in charge were invited to get on the Discipline Inspection Commission's cars, and only then did he suddenly realize how brilliant this young county magistrate's move was!

  First, they made a loud noise to the east and attacked the enemy in the west, calling Zhang Jianxin and Wang Sheng to come and rescue them. Then, under the pretext of holding an on-site office meeting, they summoned several main responsible persons. Immediately after the meeting stabilized the other side, the Discipline Inspection Commission began to take action, quickly rushing to the scene, and then took a few people away for tea and conversation. In this way, one ring was linked to another, each step being carefully calculated by Liu Fei, leaving no room for these main responsible persons to maneuver. At this moment, Li Qingan suddenly realized that Liu Fei, this young county magistrate, had such rich experience in struggle, his methods were so superb, and it was difficult even for him to keep up with.

  It won't work if you don't obey! Li Qing'an suddenly felt that he was a bit old in front of Liu Fei!

  The Yangtze River's waves push forward, the old waves are beaten onto the beach by the new ones, a new generation replaces the old!

  Li Qing'an looked at Liu Fei and found that Liu Fei's face was still filled with anger, but his expression was so firm and confident, as if nothing in the world could stump him. This was a kind of fearless and dauntless aura, a kind of profoundness like a vast ocean, a kind of manifestation unique to outstanding talents. Li Qing'an seemed to have only seen this expression on the face of the No. 1 leader. At that moment, Li Qing'an suddenly felt a sense of admiration and closeness, he was determined that from now on, he would stand firmly with this young county magistrate and accompany him in resisting all kinds of storms.

  Liu Fei did not notice that his temperament and character had unknowingly earned him his first firm political ally.
