Chapter 65: Returning Home in Fine Clothes

t's done, I'm gone. 。Xiao Zheng arrived at the department and, according to the notice, went to the cadre section. 。A young staff member from the Cadre Department led Xiao Zheng into a conference room...After receiving a call from Xiao Zheng, Minister Li Xiaqing immediately reported to the county Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu. 。Xiao Jingyu called Li Xiaohui to his office and asked about Li Haiyan's overall quality. 。Li Xiaoqing replied: "Xiao Shujì, Li Haiyan is also a graduate of a key university in our province. After entering the workforce, she has been working in rural towns. Her family background is that of an ordinary rural resident, and her relationships are relatively straightforward." 。We have conducted investigations from both positive and negative aspects these two days. Her grassroots foundation is good, and everyone's evaluation of her is that she is hardworking and efficient, and her ideological quality is also very good. Even the party secretary of the town, Song Guoming, didn't point out any particularly outstanding shortcomings of Li Haiyan. 。Xiao Jingyu nodded and said, "That's good." 。And regarding Xiao Zheng, how did he behave during the investigation and interrogation at the County Public Security Bureau

Li Xiaoping smiled slightly: "Xiao Secretary, his performance can be described in two words, 'tenacious', or in one word, 'hard'. " 。No matter what means they used, the interrogators wanted him to confess to the problem as they desired, but Xiao Zheng just refused to cooperate. He believed that if he didn't do it, he wouldn't admit it. 。Xiao Jingyu nodded and intentionally asked Li Xiaocheng, "Minister Li, do you know why Xiao Zheng is so 'stiff'" Li Xiaocheng had obviously also thought about this question and blurted out, "Because he has no choice. Once he admits it, I'm afraid he will be kicked out of the system." 。“Xiao Jingyu nodded thoughtfully: “So, he’d rather be ruined than just admit defeat.” 。Li Xiaqing looked at Xiao Jingyu and said, "Yes, Secretary Xiao." 。However, Xiao Zheng's perseverance and tenacity are still admirable. 。The County Procuratorate investigated the officers involved and found that the methods they used against Xiao Zheng were truly shocking, something an ordinary person might not be able to withstand. 。"Okay, I understand." Xiao Jingyu looked at Li Xiaohui and said. 。Minister Li, you've worked hard. 。Then Li Xiaoping stood up: "Xiao Shuji, I'll bring Li Haiyan over tomorrow." 。Xiaoning Yu also stood up, “Well, Minister Li, I’ll see you out.” 。"

Li Xiaoqing was quite surprised: "No, no need, Xiao Shujì..." 。Although Li Xiaocheng is the deputy director of the Organization Department, her position is several levels lower than Xiao Jingyu's. Normally, when the minister is present, it wouldn't be Li Xiaocheng's turn to report for work. 。Xiao Jingyu chuckled and said, "It's alright, it's alright." 。Xiao Jingyu sent Li Xiaqing to the corridor before returning to his office. 。This action, however, brought a secret joy to Li Xiaoting's heart. 。Many things don't need to be explicitly stated, but a leader's attitude towards you can hint at their next considerations regarding your position. 。Xiao Zheng was discharged from the hospital, and he first went to his father's ward. 。Dad Xiao Rongrong and Mom Fei Qingmei were naturally happy to see Xiao Zheng had gone. 。Seeing Xiao Zheng carrying fruits and local specialties, Fei Qingmei said: "Son, what are you bringing all these things back for" Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Didn't I just go on a business trip Isn't it normal to bring back some things" 。Try these specialties from Huiji, the daughter red wine and tofu are both delicious. 。"Right, Dad, it's okay to drink a little alcohol, isn't it What did the doctor say"

Xiao Rongrong laughed and said, "My dust lung disease is mainly caused by my living environment. There's too much dust in our village." 。It's okay to have a little drink. 。Xiao Rongrong looked at the Huiji old wine, and had long been itching to try it. 。Even at home, Xiao Rongrong would drink about ten yuan's worth of shochu every day. 。 Fei Qingmei saw her husband's eyes and quickly put away the daughter red wine, saying, "Wait until we are discharged from the hospital before drinking. Who drinks alcohol in the hospital" Xiao Rongrong could only shake her head, then said again: "Xiao Zheng, during these two days when you were not here, your apprentice Li Haiyan from your unit came every day and even brought us dinner" 。You have such a good disciple. 。Such a girl, she's really great. 。"Fei Qingmei also said, 'Haiyan is a lovely girl, both in appearance and heart. She's truly very likable.'" 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "That's right, who would it be but my disciple" 。"Fei Qingmei said, "Xiao Zheng, you should find a chance to properly thank them." 。“Does it need to be said I thanked her already. I also brought her some delicious food this time when I came back.” 。"Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei looked at each other and nodded, saying: “That's good. " 。"Xiao Zheng asked again, "Chen Hong, has she been here" Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei looked at each other. Fei Qingmei said, "She hasn't." 。However, I think Chen Hong being the office director at school must be very busy. 。Xiao Rongrong retorted, "Chen Hong, being the daughter of a cadre, she wouldn't be able to think so deeply." 。"Fei Qingmei glared at Xiao Rongrong and said, "Can you just shut up" Xiao Rongrong didn't argue, but immediately nodded and said, "Okay, okay." 。Xiao Zheng also felt a pang of sympathy, but he thought that Chen Hong did come from a good family, was single, and had been pampered by her parents since she was little. She rarely took the initiative to think of others. 。That, Xiao Zheng knew when he was pursuing Chen Hong in university, and it's not her fault. 。However, she is now twenty-eight or nine years old, and as the head of the office in school, she should understand social etiquette. 。Of course, Xiao Zheng didn't blame Chen Hong for this either, after all, his father was doing well now and nothing happened. 。Xiao Zheng then said: "Dad, Mom, I still have some things to deal with at my unit, I have to rush back." 。If you have anything, just give me a call. I'll be back tomorrow. 。If the doctor sets a discharge date, please let me know immediately. 。。After Xiao Zheng left, the ward was quiet for a while. Xiao Rongrong turned to Fei Qingmei and said: "Son, did he really go on a business trip" Fei Qingmei replied: "He definitely didn't go on a business trip." 。Did you see, son has lost weight, and I found that his wrists are all red, and his hair seems to be a bit thinner than before. 。There must be something going on with our son, but he doesn't want us to know. 。Xiao Rongrong said, “Should we ask him again to see if we can help” Fei Qingmei said, “Don’t meddle. You can’t help in your current state His son isn’t telling us because he doesn’t want us to worry.” 。We don't show worry, you take good care of yourself here, and don't upset Xiao Zheng, that's the best help for him. 。"

As for me, my own body is also no use" 。Xiao Rongrong was a little self-deprecating. 。Fei Qingmei said: "You can't blame yourself either. Your body is a result of working in the mine, it wasn't intentional." 。You work in the mines, and that's how you support this family. You put your son through university, that's really something. 。"Xiao Rongrong's expression finally improved a little: “Honey, it seems I still have some use..." 。Fei Qingmei gave him a withering glance and fell silent. 。In Fei Qingmei's mind, another thought came up: could Chen Hong's absence these past few days be because of what happened to Xiao Zheng, and she had thus taken the initiative to distance herself from her son

If that were the case, why did Li Haiyan come every day Was Li Haiyan, the daughter, more sincere than Chen Hong

When Xiao Zheng returned to town, there was only an hour left until work ended. 。Xiao Zheng specially asked him to use the official car shared with Gao Zhengping to pick him up from the county people's hospital. 。After getting out of the car, Xiao Zheng stood in the hall for a while. Several members of the team and township cadres saw Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng acted as if nothing had happened, smiling and greeting them. 。Among these people, some were gloating over Xiao Zheng's arrest, while others felt sorry for him. Regardless of which category they fell into, now that Xiao Zheng has returned and is still a member of the Party Committee and Deputy Town Head, they have all been shown the error of their ways. 。He wanted to tell everyone that he, Xiao Zheng, wasn't so easily brought down and had returned in good shape. He was still the town leader!

Seeing him like this, these people would naturally spread the word from person to person, a hundredfold, without him needing to explain himself. 。After sitting in the office for a while, Xiao Zheng called Mayor Guan Wenwei and said he wanted to go visit. 。Guan Wenwei said, “You're back from the hospital so soon I thought you would have to stay for a few more days.” 。"Xiao Zheng said: "I feel fine, so I'll come back early. There's still a lot of work waiting." 。Gu Wenwei said: "I'll come to your office to chat." 。Maybe Wenwei Guan thinks that since Song Guoming's office is right next to his, it's inconvenient to speak. 。Xiao Zheng brewed a pot of tea and waited for Guan Wenwei in his office. 。As he placed the tea on the table, a sudden sharp pain shot through the left side of his scalp. 。This might be aftereffects of the torture he'd endured these past few days

Guan Wenwei arrived, Xiao Zheng greeted Mayor Guan and asked him to sit down. The two started drinking tea, and the throbbing pain on the left side of his head seemed to subside unknowingly. 。After taking a few sips of tea, Guan Wenwei said to Xiao Zhengdao: "Mayor Xiao, I'm sure you've been suffering these past few days inside" Xiao Zheng replied: "I'm fine now, I've gotten over it, it wasn't a big deal." 。Town Chief, I know you've helped me a lot these past two days. 。"Guan Wenwei laughed and said, 'It's not just me! I don't know where you get your good fortune from. After the police took you away, quite a few people helped you.'" 。"Xiao Zheng said: 'I owe everyone a debt, and I don't know how to repay it all at once.'" 。"Guan Wenwei waved his hand and said, "You don't have to pay anything now." 。Those of us within the system, who doesn't need help Today you might not need it, but tomorrow you probably will. Just keep that in mind. 。When people need help, lend a hand if you can. That's the best way to show your appreciation. 。"Xiao Zheng thought about it, it's okay to not rush to return the favor. It's enough to keep it in mind." 。Just like the head of the district said, no one inside the system is completely without need for help. 。Xiao Zheng asked again, "Town Mayor Guan, I just returned to the town and some things are still unknown" 。"How are Lin Yiqiang and Wang Fuyu doing" Guan Wenwei said, "I have information about this..." 。has been taken into custody by the County Public Security Bureau and is under investigation. 。Because one of Lin Yiqang's victims left behind a child, the paternity test results confirmed the relationship. In addition, with women in the town who had previously been assaulted now coming forward to accuse both Lin Yiqang and Wang Fuyou, it is certain that these two will be going to prison. 。Xiao Zheng nodded, feeling that imprisoning Lin Yiqiang and Wang Fuyu was not enough punishment. He believed the best thing he had done was to show no mercy to them that night, rendering their ability in that aspect permanently unusable. Even after they were released from prison, it would be unlikely for them to harm other women in town. 。When dealing with villains and people who have become morally depraved, one must be ruthless. 。Of course, Xiao Zheng also paid a huge price for this, but until now he still believed that the price was worth it. 。Xiao Zheng then asked: "What about Song Shujì He is Lin Yichang's uncle, he should also be held responsible." 。Without this umbrella protecting him, how could Lin Yiqiang dare to run amok in townttending meetings, visiting companies, or having business dinners, giving Zhao Yougen and his team no opportunities. 。Every day, Zhao Yougen would call Xiao Zheng and apologize because they would have...
