Chapter Eighty: Encounter at the Hotel

  Seeing that no one else was responding, Liu Li turned his gaze to Zhang Shi: "What's going on?"

  After hearing this, Zhang Shi looked at Liu Li and then said somewhat awkwardly: "It's like this, recently, Deputy Director Lin has been busy competing for the position, but in this personnel adjustment list, his name is unexpectedly not on it.

  Since the county bureau meeting was dismissed today, he has been in a bad mood and refused to come back to work. I called him before, but his phone is always off. I guess it's because of losing the competition and feeling unhappy? It will be fine after a few days.

  "When it was time to disperse, I advised him to come to the office and meet you, but he...he didn't have time for now. Liu Suo, don't take it to heart, after a while Deputy Director Lin will come to work, at that time, I'll help introduce each other."

  Is that so? Having a temper tantrum? Can't go to work just because you're having a temper tantrum? What's going on with that Director Li? He's actually being so indulgent, it's causing problems. Just because he's in a bad mood, he won't even do his job. If he's going to be in a bad mood for the rest of his life, then he'll never go to work again!

  Hehe...... I'm good at treating all kinds of emotional disturbances, Director. After work today, you go to his house and inform him that he needs to come to work tomorrow. If he's still being emotional tomorrow, I'll help him switch to a different workplace." Liu Li said calmly.

  Seeing Liu Li's strong performance, Zhang Shi hesitated for a moment before quietly reminding him: "Liu Suo, you don't know this, but Deputy Director Lin is the younger brother of our county bureau's Deputy Director Lin. Previously, Director Li also turned a blind eye to this matter, so don't take it too seriously."

  "One code is one code, Deputy Director Lin is Deputy Director Lin, and Deputy Bureau Chief Lin is Deputy Bureau Chief Lin. They are not the same thing, can't just because there's a brother who's a leader that they don't follow discipline?" Liu Li was somewhat unexpected but didn't care about this relationship.

  However, Liu Li was still grateful for Zhang Shi's reminder. He looked at the people in the conference room and smiled: "I came here to take office, there are many things I don't understand, let's discuss them together in the future, and communicate more if there's anything."

  "I'm new here, so I have to make a gesture. Tonight, I'll treat you all to dinner at the best hotel in town. We'll feast and those on duty are not allowed to drink, while those off-duty must get drunk."

  "Good……" As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became lively. At this time, Zhang Shi stopped everyone: "What's good about it? Don't be ridiculous." After saying this sentence, he looked at Liu Li: "Are you all going? Not leaving anyone in the office, isn't that not so good?"

  "What's wrong? Let's all go, it'll be lively when everyone is here." As soon as the words fell, Liu Li casually asked: "By the way, who was on duty today according to the duty roster we reported to the county bureau?"

  Zhang Shi thought for a moment and then replied: "Today seems to be Deputy Director Lin's shift. Yes, it was him on duty."

  "What a coincidence? Deputy Director Lin didn't come to work today, did he take a leave?" Liu Liming asked with feigned curiosity.

  "No leave has been taken."

  "It's like that, since Deputy Director Lin didn't ask for leave, it means he might still be on duty. If something happens tonight, Deputy Director Lin will come out to resolve it, so everyone can rest assured." Liu Li said with a smile.

  Next, Liu Li moved into the director's office. Since they hadn't seen off Li Shan yet and Li Shan hadn't expected to be transferred either, there were still many of Li Shan's belongings in the office. As for this, Liu Li left them as they were.

  In the afternoon, Zhang Shi sent all kinds of forms from the police station to Liu Li's desk, including household registration, file records, year-end evaluation, case files, mediation volumes... Liu Li's brain hurt as he looked at them.

  Around 7 o'clock in the evening, Liu Li brought all the people from the police station to Lin Shuangshuang's hotel. Everyone changed into casual clothes and came in two vans. To alleviate everyone's concerns, when Liu Li arrived, he transferred the emergency call number to his own mobile phone. If someone called for help, it would directly ring on Liu Li's mobile phone.

  After a little contact in the afternoon, Liu Li and others also had some understanding of each other. When speaking, they were less restrained and made more jokes. When arriving at the hotel entrance, Wu Fei said: "Director, are we going to eat here? Isn't it too extravagant?"

  "Don't be polite later on, just eat as much as you want, we're not short of money." Liu said generously.

  Because I had called Lin Shuangshuang in advance, Lin Shuangshuang reserved the best private room in the hotel for Liu Li and others. After entering the private room, everyone looked at the decoration inside and all of them praised: "The decoration here is really good, it's probably going to cost a lot, Liu Suo, haven't we gone overboard?"

  "It's nothing, still the same old saying, we're not short of money." Everyone saw Liu Li's nonchalant expression and thought to themselves: "This new director is really generous!"

  They actually have no idea that Liu Li came here to eat just to freeload, he didn't come here because he couldn't afford it, but rather because he wouldn't spend the money.

  After ordering food, Liu Li was chatting with everyone in the private room when they suddenly heard a burst of angry shouting from the next room, followed by a woman's crying. Curious, everyone walked out of the private room to see what was going on next door.

  When everyone came out of the private room, they saw two middle-aged men sitting in the next private room, dressed neatly, and a female waitress standing beside them covering her face and crying. It seemed that the man had hit someone.

  Liu Li was most disgusted by men hitting women. Seeing this situation, he stepped forward and asked the man why he hit someone. The man's face was already unpleasant, and after hearing Liu Li's question, his expression suddenly turned gloomy: "You stinky brat, what are you doing? Get out of here and mind your own business!"

  As soon as the man said this, Liu Li suddenly became angry. He grabbed the man's collar with one hand and exerted force on his wrist, lifting the originally seated man up: "Who are you calling 'old man'? Apologize immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite."

  Seeing Liu Li's strength, the man was somewhat flustered: "What are you doing? Let me go immediately, otherwise, I'll make you regret it, you little brat. Did you hear me? I'm telling you, we're from the underworld."

  When the man spoke wildly, Liu Li thought of teaching him a lesson, but at this time, Zhang Shi and others came over to hold down Liu Li: "Liu Suo, calm down, he is Manager Tang of 'Bo Huan Bath Center', everyone is familiar with each other, don't make it too awkward."

  "An acquaintance? Old Zhang, this bastard on the road, knows you?" Liu Li looked at Zhang Shi with some dissatisfaction.

  "After hearing this, Zhang Shi shook his head: 'I had dinner with Manager Tang once, but he's not my friend. He and Deputy Director Lin are good friends and often come to our department to find Deputy Director Lin, so we all know him.'"

  After finishing, Zhang Shi looked at the man with a stern face: "Manager Tang, how can you talk like that? This is our newly appointed Director Liu. You just spoke out of line and don't you hurry up to apologize to Director Liu."

  The man known as Manager Tang was named Tang Xiaojun. Because of his relationship with Lin Wanmu, he was also quite familiar with Zhang Shi and the others. After hearing Zhang's words, he was shocked in his heart, didn't have time to think much, and hurriedly accompanied by a smile to apologize to Liu Li, while also apologizing to the female waitress.

  Seeing Zhang Shi and Tang Xiaojun knew each other, and with Tang Xiaojun apologizing shamelessly, Liu Li let go of his hand and coldly watched as Tang Xiaojun nodded and bowed in front of him: "You're friends with Deputy Director Lin, I'll give him face today. Remember, from now on, you're not allowed to set foot in our police station again, otherwise, I'll make sure you can't get out once you go in."

  After finishing this sentence, Liu Li called Zhang Shi and others to go back for dinner. Tang Xiaojun, who had been nodding and smiling all the time, slowly raised his head after Liu Li and others left. He thought of Liu Li's words just now, and a sly smile flashed across his mouth.

  Tang Xiaojun glanced at the comrade beside him: "What's the big deal? It's just a broken head. Old Zhang, you keep an eye on them with me and see if they drink tonight. As far as I know, police officers can't drink. If they do, we'll make a complaint call to the Discipline Inspection Commission and get them killed."
