Chapter Fifty-Five Struggle

  Ye Pingyu and Ye Meina were walking on the road, Ye Meina told him a fact that made him very surprised, Li Jingguo from the rural health clinic often harassed the young female nurses in the hospital, making the female nurses nervous, and she had also been harassed by Li Jingguo several times.

  That day, Ye Pingyu saw Li Jingguo and a female nurse flirting with each other. He thought they were both willing participants, but now what Ye Meina is saying is not just about mutual consent, it's intentional harassment, disrupting the nurse's normal life. This Li Jingguo must have had a beastly outburst, without thinking of the consequences.

  Yemina originally wanted to tell her brother Yeming about this, but she knew Yeming's temper. If he found out about this, he would probably bring a group of people to beat up Li Jingguo. If things went wrong, it wouldn't be worth it. Coincidentally, Ye Pingyu was at the health clinic that day, so after some thought, she decided to tell him about it and ask for his help.

  The best solution to this matter is to transfer her out of the rural health clinic and no longer stay in this environment, but she knows that Ye Pingyu currently does not have such ability, so she just wants Ye Pingyu to help, see if it is possible to make Li Jingguo stop harassing her.

  After hearing Ye Meina's words, Ye Pingyu also didn't know what to do. Li Jingguo was the director of the rural health clinic and had no power to control others. If he directly found Li Jingguo and told him about this matter, Li Jingguo would definitely not admit it, and he would have no way to deal with it. Afterwards, he would definitely cause trouble for Ye Meina, which was also not good.

  He thought that he should take care of Ye Ming's sister, and this matter must be handled by him no matter what. Moreover, this matter cannot be told to Ye Ming, otherwise Ye Ming will get angry and beat Li Jingguo badly, and he will definitely go to jail. On this issue, his thoughts are consistent with those of Ye Meina.

  After some thought, Ye Pingyu decided to report the matter to Cao Dafu. Li Jingguo's harassment of young female nurses and doctors was a violation of party discipline, and it would be more prudent to deal with him through proper channels.

  After considering this, Ye Pingyu let her go back to unite several female nurses to jointly write an anonymous letter, hand it over to him, and then he would hand it over to Cao Dafu, letting Cao Dafu sign and approve the disposal opinion, so that Li Jingguo would not dare to act recklessly again.

  Yemina fully followed Ye Pingyu's advice, and after returning, she united with several colleagues to secretly write an anonymous letter, which was handed over to Ye Pingyu.

  With this anonymous report in hand, Ye Pingyu went straight to Cao Dafu. To be honest, Cao Dafu didn't take such things very seriously either. After all, it was an anonymous report and a matter of style, so there might be some exaggeration or even fabrication. Even if they investigated, they probably wouldn't find anything concrete. Besides, in today's market economy, relationships between men and women have become more casual, and no one takes them very seriously. Without a direct complaint from the parties involved, such matters are usually not handled.

  But at this time, Cao Dafu was very dissatisfied with the township hospital. It wasn't that the township hospital did a bad job or that Li Jingguo accidentally offended him, but rather there was some conflict between the township and the county health bureau.

  It's about a recent event, Cao Dafu has a relative who works at the rural health clinic and he wants to promote this relative to be the deputy director of the clinic. Normally, the appointment and removal of the deputy director is also within the power of the county health bureau, and the township party committee cannot directly appoint someone.

  However, when he coordinated this idea with the county health bureau, the county health bureau disagreed. They had their own candidate, which annoyed Cao Dafu. Although the township hospital belonged to the county health bureau, it was located on his turf and was previously managed by the township party committee before vertical management. Now, although they no longer had the power of appointment and removal, they could still manage the affairs of the township hospital's party branch. So he directly convened a meeting of the township party committee, which Ye Pingyu also attended, to discuss appointing his relative as deputy director. Although some people suggested that county health bureau approval was needed, Cao insisted on making the appointment from within the township, considering expanding his power. Other party committee members, including Zhao Yuangong, did not raise any objections and agreed to the appointment. After the decision was made, Wu Zhenquan led a team to the township hospital to make the announcement.

  This appointment decision was not recognized by the county health bureau, and the township hospital had no power to resist the township party committee. Since they were appointed, they had no way to refuse, but only arranged an office for one of Cao Dafu's relatives, without letting him be in charge of any work, and was in a awkward and powerless state.

  This made Cao Dafu extremely angry, and he called Li Jingguo over to scold him. After Li Jingguo returned, he thought of a way to solve the problem. As a deputy director, he was not threatened by Cao Dafu, so there was no need to ruin their relationship.

  However, the county health bureau refused to recognize the appointment decision of the township party committee. If Cao Dafu is no longer the secretary of the township party committee in the future, it will be easy for the county health bureau to overthrow the decision of the township party committee with just one sentence.

  Because of this matter, the relationship between Caolingzi Township and the County Health Bureau has become very stiff. Now that Cao Dafu sees someone reporting Li Jingguo's style problem, why not make an article out of this?

  After receiving Ye Pingyu's report, he made a phone call and called over Liu Guotong, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, to investigate this matter thoroughly. If the situation is true, Li Jingguo must be given party disciplinary action. The township cannot handle his administrative duties, but it has the power to give party disciplinary action.

  Ye Pingyu did not expect things to go so smoothly, and it was only afterwards that he thought of the appointment of the deputy dean. Now things have coincidentally fallen into place, with Cao Dafu attaching great importance to it, Liu Guodong cannot but investigate.

  With Cao Dafu's instructions, Liu Guodong took the disciplinary inspection personnel to the rural health clinic for investigation. Although it was an anonymous report, they had to take it seriously and deal with it as a major issue. With a dark face, he first called Li Jingguo into a small room and scolded him, frightening Li Jingguo into quickly admitting his adultery with the female nurse.

  The township disciplinary committee investigated the matter clearly without much effort, and Li Jingguo did not know how the township would deal with him. Although he was appointed by the county health bureau, the township wanted to make an issue out of this matter, and as a small director, he could not hold on for long. He had to take emergency measures to prevent excessive handling.

  At a young age, he became the dean of the hospital and also had connections in the county health bureau. His connection was the father of the young man who harassed Ye Jing, the deputy director of the county health bureau.

  After Liu Guowen left, he ran to the county health bureau to report the matter, and didn't care about the issue of face anymore, directly reporting the whole thing.

  The deputy director of the county health bureau was also stunned, and suddenly the countryside came up with this matter, making him think of the conflict between Caolingzi Township and the countryside. Is it Cao Dafu who is intentionally retaliating against this matter? Otherwise, how would he have thought of investigating Li Jingguo's work style problem?

  Li Jingguo anxiously asked for his help, and on the issue of the deputy director's appointment, they should not confront each other anymore. A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake, and Caolingzi Township, as a first-level party committee government, is actually in a weak position compared to the county health bureau. In the end, it's hard to get things done at the township hospital.

  This matter was not a trivial one, and it was not something that the deputy director of the county health bureau could decide on his own. After Li Jingguo's further efforts, the county health bureau finally agreed to recognize the appointment decision of Cao Dafu's relative as vice president by Caolingzi Township, and formally issued a document appointing him as vice president.

  Cao Dafu saw the report submitted by Liu Guotun, but did not handle it in time. Instead, he let it go and watched how Li Jingguo would deal with this matter. Before long, the leader of the county health bureau personally called him to invite him to dinner. As soon as he heard this, he knew that the county health bureau had softened up. On his turf, not following his requirements, and opposing him, ultimately there was no good outcome.

  In the midst of a complex situation, the feud between Caoshan Village and the County Health Bureau was finally resolved. After Cao Dafu returned, he called Liu Guotang over and asked him to have a talk with Li Jingguo, warning him that no further formal punishment was necessary, and the case would be considered closed.

  As soon as Cao Dafu said this, Liu Guodong naturally knew the intention of handling it this way. Li Jingguo must have placated Cao Dafu; otherwise, he would have been given at least a party internal warning penalty for this matter.

  Li Jingguo had to make a big effort to settle this matter, which almost made him lose his position as dean. It was a lesson for him and it also made him behave himself for a long time and not dare to harass the female nurses again, becoming much more honest.

  Ye Pingyu originally thought that the village would formally deal with Li Jingguo, but it seems that nothing came of it. He realized that Cao Dafu had left some leeway, and although no formal action was taken, Li Jingguo still paid a considerable price. Ye Meina's goal was also achieved.

  While dealing with Yemina's matter, Chang Fang took two days off and came back to work. After going to work, she just sat there without saying a word. When she saw Ye Pingyu, she ignored him too. Ye Pingyu didn't know what was wrong with her, so he walked up to greet her, but she still didn't say anything, which made people feel worried.

  Ye Pingyu guessed it might be something emotional, but such things are really hard to ask about, so Chang Fang didn't say anything, and he naturally found it inconvenient to ask as well. But unexpectedly, in the evening when there were only the two of them left in the office, Chang Fang suddenly walked up to him and said: "Pingyu, how about having dinner with me tonight?"

  Seeing her speak, Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "Where did you think of eating?"

  "Let's go out and eat."

  "Going out to eat is fine too, I'll find a few more people to go with you and keep you company!"

  Chang Fang however disagreed: "I want to eat with just the two of us!"

  Two people eating together? Ye Pingyu hesitated for a moment and said: "Is there something on your mind?"

  Chang Fang said: "Let's go out and eat together, I'll tell you then!"

  As soon as she said that, Ye Pingyu thought for a moment and then said: "Okay, let's eat and chat later. There's nothing big in the world, it's better to say what you have!"
