It wasnt that Tian Liang was too curious, but rather he couldnt understand who would dare to lay a hand on the highly respected and dignified old director.

  Going to the directors office in broad daylight to steal things is 100% done by insiders, this point cant stump even a rookie cop.

  After work, Xiang Tianliang accompanied Liu Zhengfeng and sat down in a corner of a small restaurant.

  Xiang Tianliangs monthly salary is less than a thousand, one-third of which he sends to his parents who are farming at home. Occasionally, he also has to take out some money to support his married sister. Eating in this small restaurant, spending 50-100 yuan, is also a luxury for him.

  Liu Zhengfeng only ordered half a catty of old wine, accompanied by peanuts, and drank slowly by himself. As someone who came from a poor background, he wouldnt let himself splurge too much until dawn broke.

  Xiang Tianliang himself did not drink, making an excuse that he had been forced to drink too much by the old branch secretary of Dayang Village in recent days, and saving a little was a little. He asked for a glass of boiled water to accompany Liu Zhengfeng.

  "Dont be sentimental, kid. Im almost home free, doesnt matter to me, but this piece of intel, ordinary people dont know about it yet, and its crucial for your future survival in the Construction Bureau." Liu Zhengfeng became more talkative after a sip of wine.

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Youre nagging again, dont forget, I still have to go to Yu Fuzhangs house to report."

  "Word has it, word has it... In our Construction Bureau, theres a legend about the old Director, do you know?"

  Xiang Tianliang glared at Liu Zhengfeng, "Old Liu, Ive only been here for a few months and still have some time left outside the bureau, what do I know?"

  "Thats... a legend for others, but for me, there are no secrets in the Construction Bureau. Ive been here two years earlier than the old director."

  Xiang Tianliang felt a sense of joy in his heart, its all about fate and luck. Old Liu had worked hard for his whole life, but he was still just a deputy section-level officer, while the old director had been sitting in the top position for thirteen years.

  "I know that you, Old Liu, are known as the living archives of the Construction Bureau, and even the old director often comes to ask for your advice." Xiang Tianliang flattered.

  Liu Zheng said slowly: "Our old director, ah, not highly educated, but very astute. Nine years as deputy director, thirteen years as director, the only one in Qinghe City, the title of unbeatable is absolutely not blown out of proportion. Why? Because our old director has three treasures in his hands."

  "What three treasures?"

  "Red notebook, blue notebook, yellow notebook."

  Tian Liang was dumbfounded and lost his smile, three broken notebooks, what a treasure.

  Liu Zhengfeng didnt care about the dawn, holding his wine cup and taking two sips, he continued: "Ive seen those three notebooks more than once, Old Director kept them in a safe, even more precious than those confidential files."

  "Oh, really treasured it." Xiang Tianliang became even more enthusiastic.

  Liu Zhengfeng nodded, "Dont underestimate me, Ive given them three names: Weizi, Piaozu and Nüzi."

  "Seats, tickets, girls, Old Liu, youre really interesting."

  "This was the old directors old habit, when he was deputy director, he didnt even have a secretary, I had the good fortune to help him organize materials, and saw that he often wrote things in his notebook, and not just one, apart from the usual work-related ones with cowhide covers, he also had three notebooks with plastic covers, red, blue and yellow respectively, which he carried with him when going out, and locked in a safe at the office."

  "On the red notebook, its recorded the intricate web of relationships carefully constructed by the old director. I havent seen the specific content on it, but it can be imagined that this must be related to the old directors future prospects, so I call it a position, especially some leaders who have benefited from the old directors construction of the system, they are like the guardian deities of the directors position."

  "And the blue notebook, its all about those companies that rely on the Construction Bureau to survive, big and small construction companies throughout the city, which one doesnt want to have a connection with the old director? The old director waves his hand, saying that a project is just a matter of money, which company head goes to see the old director empty-handed? So, that blue notebook is simply equivalent to cash."

  "Haha, as for that yellow notebook, its even more interesting. Old Director Li is quite open-minded in his personal life, just like you young people nowadays. Youre also aware of his relationship with our offices Director Zhang, right? Its an open secret. Apparently, Old Director Li has a remarkable ability to charm young girls, despite being in his fifties. However, he has a weird habit - he likes to write down his experiences in that regard. And that yellow notebook is full of such stories... Haha, this is going to be a big problem!"

  Tian Liang understood, these three notebooks are like three time bombs, once thrown out, its over, no wonder Yu Fu Bureau is so concerned, urging him to come back.

  "But I have a question, how did Old Liu know so clearly?" Xiang Tianliang stared at Liu Zhengfeng with a bad look.

  Liu Zhengfeng said calmly: "Whats so strange about it? The old director also had his careless moments, and when I helped him sort out the materials, of course, I saw them."

  "Towards Tian Liang smiled and said: No wonder the old director is so concerned about you, it turns out that you are holding onto someone elses weakness."

  "Damn it, whats the point of taking care of me? If you really took care of me, would I still be a clerk now?" Liu Zhengfeng said angrily.

  Tian Liang said to Xin Dao, "You old Liu head are so fond of drinking, daring to drink in the office, the old director has been very considerate of you. If anyone else were the director, they would have probably sent you back home for retirement long ago."

  "Old Liu, I dont understand this, if theyre things that cant see the light of day, why report it to the police?"

  Liu Zhengfeng drank the wine in his cup, wiped his mouth and said: "The problem is right here. That thief has ulterior motives. In my opinion, that anonymous informant is even more venomous. Look now, since the Public Security Bureau has intervened, things cant be hidden anymore. Our Construction Bureau is really in big trouble this time."

  "The Anonymous Reporters Case?"

  Liu Zhengfeng slanted his eyes towards Tian Liang, "Do you think the old director is stupid? Its obvious that it was done by someone from the bureau, aiming for the directors position."

  The adjustment of the leadership team of the Construction Bureau was decided by the municipal government at the beginning of the year. It is said that the old director will be arranged to go to the Municipal CPPCC, but the old director himself still wants to work for two more years and has been dragging on until now.

  "So it seems that this is related to the adjustment of the leadership team within the bureau."

  Liu Zhengfeng nodded and sighed, saying: "Six Deputy Directors, which one doesnt want to make progress?"

  "Old Liu, what do you think Director Yu has come to see me about?"

  Liu Zhengfeng became alert, stared at Xiang Tianliang again, and chuckled, "How do I know? Maybe its because youre working too hard on poverty alleviation in Dayang Village, so I want to comfort you, kid."

  Although they are from the same hometown, Liu Zhengfeng has never been impressed with Director Fu.

  "Time to go home for dinner." Liu Zhengfeng stood up and patted Xiang Tianliangs shoulder, saying, "Tianliang, the water in the government offices is deep, and its even deeper in our Construction Bureau. Youd better be careful not to fall in and cant climb out."

  Liu Zhengfeng walked away with a swagger, and after drinking half a catty of old wine, his legs began to tremble slightly.

  Old Lius words were laced with meaning, and as he pondered them, he walked out of the small restaurant towards Director Yus home.
