Chapter 200: Making a Choice

。Xiao Zheng stood under the sign that read "An County People's Hospital." Next to him, a young man with messy hair was munching on a steamed bun and smoking. 。This young man is a natural social butt...Just put on my new Paul & Shark shirt, and a whiff of strong liquor got it wet. 。Luckily, the baijiu was colorless, just like Chen Guangming's face. Inside, his emotions were churning, but he refused to show it on the surface. 。Chen Guangming drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, poured another glass, and raised it to Fang Ye: "County Magistrate Fang, I'll toast you again." 。"

Fang also wanted to use a toast to change the subject. " 。Chen Guangming's heart was actually a little chaotic. 。He always thought his little secret stash of money at the office was well-hidden, known only to a select few within their team. 。I didn't expect this situation to be known by the county magistrate, and he directly brought it up on the table today. What does that mean

Xiao Zheng was also startled. He didn't expect his usually careful and cautious future father-in-law, Chen Guangming, to have a hidden stash of money in the office. 。Moreover, at the banquet today, the county magistrate also came straight to the point, bringing up this matter without giving Chen Guangming any chance to smooth things over. 。What does this mean Without a doubt, this is to criticize Chen Guangming. 。

Then why bring Xiao Zheng along Xiao Zheng believed that in terms of economics, he had never taken anything he shouldn't have. His hands were clean, and his parents' side was also clean now. 。Then, was Fang also there to let Xiao Zheng witness Chen Guangming being beaten, killing the chicken to warn the monkey

Just as chaotic guesses flashed through Xiao Zheng's mind, Chen Guangming had already finished his cup of wine, offering it as a gesture of respect. 。However, Fang also remained unmoved and still smiled at Chen Guangming. His wine glass stood still. He said, “Director Chen, having a small treasury in your bureau is not a particularly serious matter.” 。Wu Shu said to me that in our county, there are cases where departments like yours set up small "treasuries" for easier expense management. 。Wu Shu, do you think so

Wu Fan is the county Party Committee Secretary, he should be very clear about this situation. 。Wu Fan's statement is quite significant. 。Wu Fan said: “Our Discipline Inspection Commission received a report about the setting up of private slush funds, and this has never stopped.” 。There are so many townships and departments in our county. We have set some up, of course, but we can't say there are many. 。"At this time, Cai Shaohua, secretary to the deputy mayor, said: "Director Chen, you should toast to Secretary Wu quickly! In our city, there have been many cases of setting up small treasuries that were found out, and some leading officials were directly removed from their posts." 。But the supervisory bureau also knew about it and didn't investigate. 。The key is still how to define the situation! Some small safes are for work considerations, such as liaising with superiors, so the circumstances are less serious; some are purely motivated by greed and personal enjoyment, there's a big difference here. 。"Director Chen, now you understand how important Secretary Wu's opinion is, right"

Chen Guangming started sweating on his forehead. He immediately picked up his wine glass to toast Wu Fan: "Secretary Wu, please take care of us." 。"Wu Fan remained seated, without raising his glass. He glanced at Chen Guangming and said, “Director Chen, please sit down. This isn’t something I can handle with a simple word. It all depends on the outcome of the investigation into the small vault.” 。"Chen Guangming awkwardly held his glass of wine halfway, unsure whether to put it down or continue the toast." 。Xiao Zheng sat aside, looking very uncomfortable. 。Before coming here, Xiao Zheng already felt that the county magistrate invited them to drink, it wouldn't be just for fun, there must be other reasons. 。At the start of the gathering, County Magistrate Fang immediately brought up the issue. 。In Xiao Zheng's view, there was no doubt about it; this was a Hongmen banquet. 。It seems Chen Guangming really did set up a slush fund within the bureau. His usual expenses there probably weren't for public use, and this is a big problem now. 。Looking at Chen Guangming being held tightly now, Xiao Zheng sighed again, realizing how dangerous the officialdom truly was. As long as you took even small bribes or if you weren't clean, one day you would be held in someone's hands and toyed with, without any room to fight back. 。Seeing Chen Guangming standing there awkwardly, Xiao Zheng couldn't bear it. After all, he was Chen Hong's father, and he had been quite good to him this past period of time. Xiao Zheng gently tugged at Chen Guangming's sleeve and said: "Director Chen, why don't you sit down first and listen to County Magistrate Fang's instructions" 。。Fang also asked Xiao Zheng, “Xiao Zhenzhang, your town wouldn’t have set up a small vault either, would it”

Xiao Zheng said, “County Magistrate Fang, this is something County Magistrate Fang and Wu Shuji might know better than I do.” 。I've only been in office as mayor for a few days and haven't had time to put anything into place yet. 。As for whether Comrade Wen Wei had set it up before, I'm not sure. Anyway, he didn't hand it over to me. 。Xiao Zheng speculated in his heart that Guan Wenwei definitely wasn't so greedy for money. If he had set up a small vault, and Fang Yitong also knew about it, Fang Yitong would have taken action against Guan Wenwei long ago. Why wait until today Fang Yitong had already asked the relevant departments to investigate, and they found no economic problems with Guan Wenwei. Otherwise, he would have taken action a long time ago. 。But Fang also said: "Wu Shujì, you should really pay attention to this matter. Now that the department has discovered this issue, we can't show special leniency or ignore it towards the townships. We should treat everyone equally and fairly." 。"Yes, County Magistrate Fang. The county Audit Bureau came here to report that the audit of the townships has also begun. If there are any issues, they will submit them." 。"

That's it.

" 。Then Fang Ye turned to Chen Guangming again: "Comrade Guangming, I heard that your bureau was still very supportive of the 'Beautiful Rural Construction' project some time ago Today there are no outsiders, so I'll tell you my thoughts." 。'The rural revitalization project, I think, doesn't align with the realities of An County. It will not only burden us but likely end up being just a facade, a 'name-only' project.' 。The current ruler is supreme, while others are mere decorations. 。"Do you understand what I mean"

Without a doubt, Fang Ye also wanted Chen Guangming to withdraw from supporting the 'Rich and Beautiful Rural Construction' project. 。Chen Guangming is now caught by the collar, he dares not fight back anymore, nodding repeatedly and saying: "Yes, County Magistrate Fang, I understand, I understand." 。On the side, Cai Shaohua, Lv Li and others watched, all with smiles on their faces. These smiles carried a slightly different meaning. 。In Cai Shaohua's eyes, you Chen Guangming are Chen Hong's father. He, Cai Shaohua, had pursued Chen Hong before, but in the end, you Chen Guangming chose Xiao Zheng as your son-in-law. Now look at you, Chen Guangming, with this awkward expression. Cai Shaohua feels a sense of satisfaction in his heart. 。In Lü Li's view, you Chen Guangming made a serious choice mistake between the County Magistrate of Fangxian and Xiao Jingyu. You didn't choose the local County Magistrate but instead chose the parachuted Xiao Jingyu, so you can only be manipulated and deserve it!Moreover, in the eyes of Wu Fan, the secretary of the county Discipline Inspection Commission, Li Qiao, the deputy county magistrate, and others present, there was also disdain and contempt for Chen Guangming. 。Chen Guangming is almost not treated as an official anymore, he's more like a dog with its neck caught in a trap. 。Xiao Zheng saw all this and felt very sad for Chen Guangming. 。He thought again, yesterday Sun Wenmin heard the county magistrate invite them to dinner, he was still happy! Now if Sun Wenmin was also here, I wonder what his thoughts would be

Xiao Zheng felt very disgusted with Fang's approach. If you really wanted to rectify the political style and discipline, then you should let the Supervisory Commission deal with Chen Guangming! Now threatening him like this, what's the point

Aren't you just trying to control a person, make him submit, and serve your purpose

Xiao Zheng despised it in his heart, but he couldn't say anything now for fear of disrupting Chen Guangming's affairs. 。He didn't want to see Chen Guangming get arrested either, after all, he was Chen Hong's father. 。Originally, in two days, the two families were going to sit down and get Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong engaged. 。 have some tea first, and we'll be eating soon. 。。Chen Guangming asked Xiao Zheng to sit down. Chen Hong made him a cup of good green tea, and Chen Guangming lit a Gold Leaf cigarette for Xiao Zheng,...
