Chapter 18 Chapter Seventeen

seventy one Even if it's a nap, the habit of the county magistrate Qu Sanchun is to take off his clothes comfortably, lie down on the big bed, cover him with a thick quilt, draw the curtains tightly, and sleep without making any noise from the inside and outside. .In order to make this indispensable afternoon nap sound, he even ate very simple lunch, which was only a symbolic amount.After taking a nap, my wife will stir-fry two or three dishes, scald two or two Laobaigan, steam a four-two-weight white noodle steamed bun, and finally have a bowl of custard. A piece of steamed bread vigorously wiped the custard from the side of the bowl, and went to feed the big dog he named "Heizi". He carefully stroked Heizi's soft belly and teats, and cursed with a smile: "You bitch!" Today I ate too much and occupied too much, go and go." He belched loudly and walked slowly towards the county government.He resolutely opposes county leaders going to work by car. "What are you doing? The county seat is only as big as a buttock. You can pour urine from the east city to the west city. You can't walk on this road. Don't be the leader of this county with me." At this time, the general The situation is always from 3:25 to 3:30, so the afternoon meeting of the Linzhong county government is usually scheduled to start around 3:45, and he will scold him if it is later: Don't work at four o'clock, what are you thinking? Wait for dinner, should it be early?"

Today, before two o'clock, he was yelled out of bed by those two guys who "burned his ass". You said he was annoyed or not.As usual, he had to slap the table and scold, but today he sat cross-legged on the bed for a while, and just groaned, "What's the matter! What happened to the brake pipe? What happened to Ge Huiyuan?" Both are salesmen at the brake tube factory in Liudaohe Township, his hometown, and one of them is a little nephew of his wife's aunt's house.The little nephew told him: "We took three trucks of goods, but they didn't want any of them, saying that there was a problem with the quality."

"If there is a problem with the quality, just check it out!" He muttered with his eyes wide open. The little nephew said: "Where is it! How many people have used this pipe, and how many cars have been built. I have never heard anyone say that there is a problem with this pipe." He said: "Wanfang is different from those guys who save illegal cars. This is a serious big company that wants to create its own brand. Can the requirements for these things be the same as those guys who save illegal cars?" The little nephew said: "Second Uncle, we have already created public opinion that even big companies like Wanfang buy our products. Therefore, whether Wanfang will accept our products this time is a big deal for our factory. It is as important as the top of Mount Tai. If Wanfang returns the goods, a large number of customers will follow suit. If this wind blows, then our factory, which is fully supported by your second uncle, will be really lucky It was ruined. Did you... call Mr. Ge and ask him to take care of this time no matter what. Liudaohe Township is your hometown, and they are so serious, aren't they slapping you in the face?"

"It's just your little broken factory that has a lot of things to do." He grunted and let out a hot breath, put on the coat handed over by his wife, and put on the cloth shoes handed over by the babysitter, and the little nephew hurriedly handed over the phone he. Ge Huiyuan didn't want to answer the call.He was working on this tricky business with some chief engineers.Tian Manfang, who came here from the city to participate in the research, was also present.Ge Huiyuan would always invite Tian Manfang back for any matters related to Linzhong County.People didn't understand why he valued Tian Manfang so much.Apart from not understanding Tian Manfang's real ability, those people also didn't understand Ge Huiyuan's intention of using Tian Manfang to communicate with each other.He knew that in this respect, no one could replace Tian Manfang.He didn't answer the call, so Ge ​​Huiyuan couldn't live in peace this afternoon.County Magistrate Qu's phone calls came here one after another until at night, when Ge Huiyuan returned home, he sat silently. After a while, the phone in the living room rang again.Ge Huiyuan said nervously: "Tell them, I'm not here..."

Lu Hua really couldn't figure it out: "Old Ge, please be calm, you are the legitimate general manager of Wanfang, you have the right to make the final decision on the quality of the brake pipe, and the country has enterprise laws to protect you and your company! Don't Hide, go answer the phone, hit them once, and see if they can take your head off!" Ge Huiyuan's hands trembled: "You think things are too simple..." Lu Hua earnestly: "Huiyuan..." Ge Huiyuan stood up and walked into his bedroom: "Don't force me anymore... Go tell them that I'm not here..." Lu Hua felt sad, turned around and walked out.

Back in the bedroom, Ge Huiyuan hurriedly found out the medicine, swallowed two pills quickly, and then his expression slowly settled down. seventy two After Xia Zhiyuan finished his work, he hurried home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Su Qun and Ge Ping waiting for him in the room.Seeing Xia Zhiyuan, Ge Ping's eyes turned red immediately, tears dripped down uncontrollably, Xia Zhiyuan was also really sad for a while. "Haven't you been home yet?" Xia Zhiyuan asked hurriedly.Ge Ping just shook his head. "Director Zheng is afraid that when she returns home, the neighbors will spread the word and invite those people to make things difficult for her." Su Qun explained. "Then live here, I have a vacant room." Xia Zhiyuan said.Su Qun said: "I've already made arrangements. I'd like to go to my uncle's place. Food, lodging and food are ready-made. Besides, it's also close to Yuanjue Temple, so it's convenient to talk to Chief Zheng about something. Ge Ping said Many important situations have been reported to Beijing, and they have made a great contribution. I heard that the central and provincial party committees will send working groups to Zhangtai to solve the problems."

Xia Zhiyuan excitedly asked, "Where is the news?" Su Qun said to Ge Ping: "Pingping, tell Lao Xia what you heard." At this time, the phone rang. After Su Qun picked up the phone and asked a question, he hurriedly handed the phone to Xia Zhiyuan: "You, come on, Director Zheng told you to go to his place right away." Xia Zhiyuan asked, "Where is he?" Su Qun: "You don't need to ask, the car will pick you up in a while, Pingping, you can go with the car too." At this time, Tian Weidong was looking for the two accountants to check the calculation repeatedly, hoping to change their calculation results.Because the result was incredible, who misappropriated the more than one million yuan that was nowhere to be found?Don't let Huang Jiangbei feel that he is lying here.To lose this last bit of credibility is to lose the last bit of possibility of a "peaceful solution".

The two senior accountants had no choice but to smile wryly at Tian Weidong's repeated questioning. "We've double-checked it three times, and you say..." "Have you checked with Wei Ming again?" "There's no way to talk to him about it. Whenever we talk about it, he jumps his feet and scolds his mother. He said he only took fourteen million. Other than that, he didn't take a penny more." "But according to Wan Fang's account, he took nearly 16 million, which is two million away!" At this time, the big man named Yang Zi ran in panicked, and shouted: "Wei Ming... Wei Ming jumped off the building and ran away!" Wei Dong hurriedly chased him out.

Tian Weiming jumped out of a bush and ran towards a barren grass hill. Tian Weidong hurriedly led his men to chase after him.Tian Weiming ran into an abandoned chapel, and Tian Weidong chased into the chapel.Tian Weiming ran to the top of the tower, and Tian Weidong caught up to the top of the tower.Tian Weiming stepped over the railing, turned around and threatened: "Tian Weidong, if you take another fucking step forward, I'll jump!" Tian Weidong hurriedly stopped: "Calm down...don't mess around..." Tian Weiming shouted completely out of control: "Tian Weidong, today I have seen through you. If you have a fucking knife, you will slash at dead pigs. How much money do you want to plant on me? I embezzled 1400 yuan. Millions of public funds, I should be shot and decapitated...I'm fucking done with it...but I only took 14 million, and I won't admit a penny more! I don't know What else is a black account of 16.7 million! I haven't fallen to the bottom of the well yet. It's too early for you to fall into the well! You treat your brother like this... Back then when no one in the family treated you well, When everyone regards you as a foreign bastard, you think only that bitch Tian Manfang treats you well? Think about it, how I treat you!"

Tian Weidong made a gesture to tell those big guys who came up to the tower with him to go away.Then, exhausted, he sat down slowly on the stairs. silence. Mice slid across the dusty girders.In the dark mist, two lines of tears slowly flowed down Tian Weidong's face. seventy three It is not clear how Tian Manfang got the news that the central government would send a working group to Zhangtai.She can often get this kind of news that only members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee can know in time.She said she could make calls directly to the desks of several provincial party committee members.And this point, many county-level cadres may not be able to do it.Therefore, for this kind of words, you will listen to it after hearing it, and you don't have to take it all seriously.But today, her behavior proved that she did get inside information.You can see that she is cleaning out the drawer where her personal belongings are stored in her office at the headquarters of Wanfang Company.Destroy what should be destroyed; what is ready to be taken away—put it in a leather bag.Finally, she walked to the big electric clock hanging on the wall, hesitated for a long time, unplugged the power plug, and stopped the electric clock.What is she trying to express?The last moment of her life?Or is it the last moment of her existence as the deputy general manager of Wanfang?Or was it the moment when some kind of big decision was made?Or... nothing, she just wants to stop time, and quietly (self-deception but not deception) no longer let "time", one of the basic ways of human beings, to urge herself.Enough, she had time, that was enough.But for anyone who has lived, who hasn't had time?

She stared blankly at the stopped electric clock and closed her eyes.At this time, someone knocked on the door.She hurriedly opened her eyes, and plugged in the power plug of the electric clock again. She hid her purse, closed all the drawers and cabinet doors, picked up the pieces of paper that fell on the floor... she tidied her hair a little, and then went to open the door. Tian Weidong stood outside the door.She was taken aback. "Can I come in?" "Please." "Sister Man, I checked the figure of Wei Ming's misappropriation, but it still doesn't match up with Wanfang's shortfall. No matter how I calculate it, it's still 16.7 million. Can you help me remember?" "I have nothing to recall." "Sister Man..." "Let me tell you the truth, I have recorded every sum of money your brother took from Wanfang at that time, but there is no record of the 1.7 million in my account... It can be said with certainty that this Your brother didn't take the money." "Then who else could it be..." "I don't know. Maybe Dong Xiujuan knows, go find her." seventy four Today is the first time that Xiao Gao came into Huang Jiangbei's office with an excuse to talk about that incident with Huang Jiangbei, and he can't remember clearly.When he walked to the door of the office, he was quite courageous, but as soon as he walked in front of Huang Jiangbei, he became discouraged, and he would say to himself, forget it, it's not my job to say, just mind this nosy business Well.If he followed his past temper, this matter would have passed like this.But today was strange, he couldn't let go of this matter.He always wanted to "intervene" in the "fate" of Huang Jiangbei.To be honest, this is also one of the great "supermen" in Huangjiangbei.He just has the ability to attract the staff around him, so that they gradually become like him with the same heart, the same breath, the same fate.You can see that Xia Zhiyuan is arguing to leave, but have you seen it? Whether he is walking or not, whether he is really walking or not, whether he is walking casually or not, even if he is leaving, what is his feeling in his heart, etc. The series are not unimportant With regard to the problem, Xia Zhiyuan still has many difficulties waiting for him that he cannot overcome, or may not be able to overcome, and even if he overcomes, he may not feel comfortable in his heart. The day before yesterday, the Municipal People's Congress issued a report saying that a new session of the People's Congress would be held ahead of schedule.Secretary Lin specially gave this report circle to Huang Jiang Beiyue.He had seen the document since he was a young master.He who has never been tempted by the official affairs in his hands, this time he was seriously "thumped" and moved.In another sense, the convening of the new session of the National People's Congress in advance means that the problems of the Zhangtai city government team must be resolved in advance.Should Mayor Huang be made the official mayor, or should he be replaced?Xiao Gao was uneasy.Although he is not very old, he has been in the government for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the change of leadership, and is used to working under different leaders without emotion, and running errands for different leaders.This is something he can't choose, it's just like family background.Don't ask what kind of person he is, as long as you are obedient and willing to do it, that's all.He should be honest and honest in big matters, and smart and flexible in small things. Those who can combine these two points perfectly can be a good secretary.So he never left his emotions for the leaders.But this time he really "shouldn't" be moved.He hoped that Huang Jiangbei would stay, and that Huang Jiangbei would become official from acting.And he also felt that this was not impossible.But many years of experience in the office told him that many things that were particularly sure had dramatic and irreversible changes at the last moment, and hope turned into disappointment.Therefore, we cannot wait for the opportunity to mature, but must work hard to tackle key problems.But it's been two days since that document was delivered to Mayor Huang's desk, and he hasn't seen any movement, what's wrong?Do not care?He is not the kind of leader who doesn't care about his political future, how can we remind him? Holding several files, he thought over and over again, and walked into Huang Jiangbei's office for the eighth time. "Here's the daily report from the Finance Bureau. Here's the daily report from the Inland Revenue Department. Here's the bank's... and the workers' report..." "Thank you. I heard your wife is having a baby next month?" "yes……" "When is the due date? Early and mid-term?" "It will be on the 17th or 18th in the middle of the month. Don't worry, I won't affect my work... I have made arrangements to send her back to my hometown..." "Send me back to my hometown? You don't want to wait for a while? When a woman gives birth, it is the most painful thing for a woman to not have her man around. A husband will also leave regrets. You can ask for leave. For the sake of having a child, the influence can not be overstated. A new life." "yes……" Huang Jiangbei smiled lightly.He found that this sentence "yes" was the most frequently used colloquial phrase in front of him by Xiao Gao, and it was natural and mellow, decent and beautiful.At first, he was annoyed by him saying that all the time, but after listening to it, he found it pleasing to the ear, and now he actually thinks it sounds good. "Did you read the report of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress that I sent you the day before yesterday? I know that Mr. Shang is hospitalized these days, so I shouldn't rush you, but...there have been several phone calls over there." ask the result... "Look, I've been busy these past few days. I cut the ribbon for the newly completed teaching building of the Shuangchengzi Coal Mine Children's School, and went around the underground to see a group of contract workers who had just started working. In the afternoon, I went to see the work of some old miners. At home, I saw several former mine managers. I went to the Municipal Planning Bureau at night to listen to them talk about the municipal construction plan for the next ten years, which is also the main document to be submitted to the next Municipal People’s Congress for discussion. It was quite late when I came back. So Well, I must have read that report today." "If it really can't be arranged, I'll talk to the other side again, find any reason, and postpone it until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..." "No, tell them, I must read it today and give the results. What about the report?" Xiao Gao immediately found the report from a large pile of documents. "Are you all right? Now you lock the door for me, cut off the phone, and if someone calls, you stand in my way. I'll read this report right away, and try to use this half a day to get this pile of things out of the way." It's all taken care of." At this time, Xiao Gao also smiled slightly.He likes the stupidity that Huang Jiangbei sometimes shows, he doesn't care what he wants to do.Such a person will suffer a lot as a leader.But the sincerity and firepower in this kind of person can always move Xiao Gao's heart. "Magistrate Qu of Linzhong County is still waiting for you. He said he came early in the morning and has been waiting for you for more than forty minutes..." Huang Jiangbei annoyed: "Yes, there is also Master Qu..." "I'll find a reason to ask him to come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Huang Jiangbei shook his head: "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, what are we going to talk about tomorrow? Last night, when he came back from the City Planning Bureau, it was two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. He came to look for me and pestered me for more than two hours until dawn I have said everything that needs to be said. The issue of brake pipes in Liudaohe Township is purely a matter of production and management. According to the Sino-foreign joint venture law passed by the National People's Congress, this type of issue must be decided by Wanfang Company itself. No one can engage in administrative intervention. This is true for joint ventures, and it should be the same for other enterprises. This is in line with economic laws. The reason is very simple and clear, but you can’t explain it to him. He always feels that I am following He used a bureaucratic tone... saying that I was only focused on joint ventures, not township enterprises in the old areas." "Or... you can talk to him again and come back and work on these files." Huang Jiangbei resolutely: "No, let's not talk about it. I want to act in accordance with the enterprise law formulated by the central government. He said that someone should also act in accordance with the central government's decision. It doesn't matter whether I am facing capitalism or counter-revolution. Let's not talk about it." "It's fine if you don't talk about it...but..." Huang Jiangbei raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you talking about?" Xiao Gao said: "It's nothing... I'll deliver the documents..." He hurried out in his great annoyance.He regretted again that he didn't have the courage to remind the acting mayor. When he left the office, he looked a little heavy, and he didn't know where to go for a while.After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and walked towards a small conference room at the end of the corridor.The small conference room was empty.On an oval coffee table, there is a telephone.Xiao Gao gently locked the door, walked quickly to the side of the coffee table, picked up the phone, but before dialing the number, he hesitated again, a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, and stood there for a long time. Only then did I make up my mind to dial.He wanted to tell Secretary Lin about this matter, and ask Secretary Lin to "remind" Huang Jiangbei.But when the call from Secretary Lin's ward was connected, he didn't wait for the other party to pick up the phone, and put it down in a panic.He stood by the phone for a while, scolded himself severely, and then walked out in frustration. Secretary Lin picked up the phone and said hello twice, but there was only a beeping busy tone. He thought it was a broken line, and muttered: "This telephone company should really improve the quality." He put down the phone and went to ask Song Pinsan ( Captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau): "What did you say? The group of people brought by Tian Weiming have all returned to the provincial capital? Are they all gone?" Song Pinsan replied: "There are only two people left. One is surnamed Yang, and the other is small." "Is anyone monitoring their activities?" "Don't worry. They have been monitored 24 hours a day." Secretary Lin turned around and asked Chief Prosecutor Zhang: "Have you chosen someone on your side? When will you be able to enter Wanfang?" Chief Prosecutor Zhang said, "Maybe five or six days." "Why did it take so long?" Attorney General Zhang was embarrassed: "I can't find a suitable leader..." Secretary Lin was dissatisfied: "Nonsense, such a big procuratorate, can't find a team leader?" Chief Prosecutor Zhang explained: "On the one hand, this person must be familiar with Wanfang's situation, on the other hand, he must have relatively rich experience in handling economic cases, and he must be able to hold his ground at critical moments..." "Are you saying that without people like Zheng Yanzhang, Zhangtai wouldn't be able to handle a case like Wan Fang's?" "Absolutely no such meaning..." "I don't believe it. Without Zheng Yanzhang, your procuratorate won't be able to take the Wanfang case! Within three days, the working group must be stationed in Wanfang. Don't show the name of the working group publicly, and think of some reasons to go in, and wait for the investigation to find out." After the name-calling hall has come, we will formally sign the name of the working group." "There is another situation, that is... Mayor Huang has been in contact with Tian Weidong many times in the past two days..." Song Pinsan reported hesitantly. Secretary Lin's eyes widened, "Who told you to report Mayor Huang's whereabouts? Who asked you to monitor Mayor Huang?" "...It wasn't intentional...it was discovered by chance when we were monitoring the Tian family brothers..." "Occasionally not." At this time, the secretary came in: "The Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress has an urgent matter." While putting on the glasses, Secretary Lin took the documents from the secretary, and said to the two: "I'm sorry, I'll take a look at the urgent mail first." Xiao Gao went back to Huang Jiangbei's office, and Huang Jiangbei was busy processing the pile of documents.He seemed to have something to say to Huang Jiangbei, but he didn't dare to disturb Huang Jiangbei for a while, and just pretended to pack up documents or something. Huang Jiangbei didn't raise his head: "What are you doing... dawdling around..." Xiao Gao's heart was beating again: "It's okay..." "It's okay, why are you always dawdling in front of my eyes?" "I'm leaving now..." Huang Jiangbei raised his head: "Gao Dehe, what's the matter?" "There is a saying, I don't know if I should say it..." "Why are you like this?" "Have you read the report of the Municipal People's Congress?" "Look. What?" "nothing……"
