Liu Yuan was caught off guard when she saw a finger poking at her, and she stopped in fright.

Once I looked closely, I realized it was the old gatekeeper.

Looking at the finger poking his face, his expression was so dark it was almost dripping with gloom.

This was the first time in his life someone had pointed a finger at his face. Enraged, his face turned ashen, and he coldly demanded, "What are you doing?!"

The old gatekeeper pointed his finger forcefully at Liu Yuan's face and shouted angrily, "You dare to yell at me? You've gone too far!"

Don't you know what you are?

Liu Yuan was furious: "What are you talking about? How have I gone against the heavens?"

I don't know why you think that way; there must be some misunderstanding. I'll let it slide because you're older.

He ultimately suppressed his anger. As the county magistrate, he believed he was tolerant enough, especially since the other party was an elderly person.

Bah~

The old gatekeeper suddenly spat a glob of phlegm into Liu Yuan's face.

Paji~

That wad of phlegm landed right on one of Liu Yuan's eyes.

Ah ~

Liu Yuan cried out in surprise, closed one eye, and hurriedly reached out to wipe it.

Then he tried to open his eyes, but there was a sticky liquid in them, and his vision was blurry. He kept shouting to Wang Tiezhu in a panic, "Paper, toilet paper, hurry up!"

When Wang Tiezhu saw Liu Yuan's outstretched hand, which was sticky, he took two steps back and said, "Don't come any closer. I don't have any tissues on me. You can wipe yourself with your clothes!"

Helpless, Liu Yuan raised his sleeve and touched it twice, his hands and sleeve were covered in sticky stuff.

He felt so disgusted he wanted to vomit.

At this point, he could no longer contain his anger and shouted at the old gatekeeper, "What do you think you're doing? You're so old, just keep an eye on your gate."

Don't go looking for trouble!

The old gatekeeper was inexplicably excited when he saw his spoils. But when he heard Liu Yuan's disdainful tone, he jumped up in anger: "You bastard, you look down on me, the gatekeeper!"

Do you think I'm one of those security guards in the family compound?

"Are you blind? What is this place? This is a government-run institution. My job pays much better than yours. I have pension insurance; do you? I have the five social insurances and one housing fund; do you?"

Liu Yuan originally wanted to keep a low profile and get the job done, but seeing that the old man was going on and on, he knew he had to reveal his identity: "Let me introduce myself, I am Liu Yuan, the county magistrate of Dongshan County."

Hmm~

Bah~

The old gatekeeper spat another mouthful of phlegm towards Liuyuan.

This time, Liu Yuan was on guard and took a few steps back to avoid it.

The old gatekeeper shouted, "County magistrate, huh? Don't try to hide. You dare to play tricks on me? I have sharp eyes."

Liu Yuan was trembling with anger, but he felt even more helpless in the face of this situation. The worst part was that there was something sticky on his hands and face, which made him feel extremely disgusted.

He wanted to leave quickly: "Fine, you're so powerful, okay? I can't afford to mess with you, I'll leave, alright?"

The old gatekeeper reached out to stop him: "You wish! I've already reported the impersonation of the county magistrate to the police."

The police officer who just spoke had other business to attend to; the officers who will arrest you will be here soon.

Liu Yuan didn't expect that she couldn't leave. She walked to the wall, reached out and rubbed the wall to wipe all the sticky liquid off her hands.

While busy working, he said, "What makes you think I'm an imposter?"

The old gatekeeper sneered, "What kind of organization is this? Leaders come and go every day."

Who is a county magistrate? Let alone a county magistrate, even if a bureau chief came, he would need two or three cars.

At the county magistrate level, there are at least five cars queuing up.

All the leaders, big and small, in our unit have to greet us at the door.

Let me tell you, I've met more leaders than you've eaten rice.

You're still too green to act here.

Liu Yuan spread his hands: "I'm not a leader, okay? I'm here to do business. I'm here to register a company and complete the formalities, okay?"

The old gatekeeper said coldly, "Have you behaved yourself now? You've shown your true colors. You looked down on me just now, but you wait and see. Today I'll show you my connections."

My nephew is a section chief. He can just give a word and you'll have to submit the materials for registering your company.

I keep submitting the missing documents today, and tomorrow, but the paperwork is always incomplete.

This is the consequence of offending people.

Liu Yuan was stunned. He was already shocked to learn that people in important positions were soliciting bribes.

But he wasn't afraid; he believed that if he disciplined a few people, the atmosphere would be fine.

I never imagined that an old gatekeeper could... abuse his public office for personal gain.

He realized the seriousness of the situation.

This unit needs major surgery; it needs a thorough cleaning from top to bottom.

Beep, beep, beep~

Police sirens sounded in the distance.

The old gatekeeper glanced at it, then suddenly remembered something and spoke again: "I almost forgot, I just called the police."

Impersonating the county magistrate... this is going to get you in serious trouble.

Police car parked on the side of the road

Two policemen got out of the car.

He walked briskly towards the main entrance.

The old gatekeeper greeted them with a smile: "Officers, I've filed a report. Someone here is impersonating the county magistrate."

I stopped them.

Wu Changshui looked in the direction the old man pointed. When he saw Liuyuan, he paused for a moment, then quickly went to greet him: "Leader, are you... are you... here in plain clothes for an inspection?"

"I am Wu Changshui from Dongguan Police Station. Please provide instructions."

Director Liu breathed a sigh of relief; finally, someone had arrived. She was about to speak...

The old gatekeeper grabbed Wu Changshui's arm and anxiously corrected him: "Officer, you're mistaken. There's no convoy, and no leader is accompanying you."

He is definitely not a leader.

Wu Changshui snorted coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is the county magistrate."

The old gatekeeper was pale. He had a bad feeling, but he kept shaking his head: "Impossible... This person is a liar. You didn't see it. He was fawning over the young man next to him, behaving like a sycophant."

"As a county magistrate, he shouldn't act like this."

Wu Changshui quickly stopped him: "What nonsense are you talking about? The county magistrate is just approachable."

When the county magistrate arrived, I led the way on my motorcycle.

I knew him from day one, I wouldn't mistake him. You... be mindful of your attitude towards your superiors.

Ah ~

The old gatekeeper was dumbfounded, remembering how he had just vomited all over the county magistrate's face.

His legs suddenly went weak, and he staggered back a few steps before he could regain his balance by grabbing the pillar of the car door access control.

Looking at Liuyuan, he felt as if the sky had fallen, and a voice kept echoing in his mind.

I've gotten myself into trouble!

This is a huge disaster!

What to do?

Liu Yuan's expression was cold. He glanced at the old man at the gate and said to Wu Changshui, "Call 120 and have a doctor check up the old man's health."

While you're at it, get your eyes checked to see if your eyesight is failing due to presbyopia.

Seeing that Liu Yuan hadn't caused any trouble, the old gatekeeper, still shaken, stood up straight: "No...no need, thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

I'd be very grateful if my boss wouldn't... wouldn't pursue the matter of my... rudeness.

Not to pursue?

Liu Yuan sneered inwardly. If they didn't investigate now, where else would they find such a good opportunity to punish them?

He was concerned about the old gatekeeper's health because he was afraid the old man might suddenly have a heart attack.

Then his political enemies seized on this and made a fuss about it.

They say that he, a county magistrate, was throwing a tantrum at an old gatekeeper, scaring the old man so much that he became paralyzed or sick.

His future will be ruined.

Therefore, he wanted to downplay the matter first, calm the old man down, and at least ensure that his health would not suffer any problems.

Then, a major overhaul was carried out.

He frowned and said, "No, you don't look well. I need to get you checked out, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

The old gatekeeper was so moved that he almost cried, not expecting Liu Yuan to repay evil with kindness: "I'm sorry, thank you... I... I was confused... I'm just an old gatekeeper... I treated you like that... and you still... cared about my health."

I...I don’t know what to say.”

Liu Yuan winked at Wu Changshui: "Send your colleague to accompany the old man for a check-up. I'll cover the expenses."

Wu Changshui understood Liu Yuan's meaning. He and his colleagues helped the old gatekeeper into the police car, and then his colleagues took him to the hospital.

He returned to Liuyuan and said, "Sir, I'm back. Please give me your instructions."

After a moment's thought, Liu Yuan said, "Notify the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Economic Investigation Department and the Criminal Investigation Department, the Audit Department... That's all."

Let them come over together.

I'll wait here today until they get to the bottom of this.

Wu Changshui was terrified. He didn't know what the old gatekeeper had done that made the county magistrate launch such a large-scale investigation.

Without hesitation, he agreed and turned to make a phone call.

Liu Yuan entered the guardhouse, filled a disposable cup halfway with water from the water dispenser, and handed it to Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu picked up his water glass and drank it in one gulp: "Thank you!"

what?

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment. He wanted Wang Tiezhu to water the plants for him so he could wash his hands and then his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Wang Tiezhu drank it all in one go.

He could only say "You're welcome," then turned around, picked up another paper cup, filled it halfway with water, and handed it to Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu paused for a moment, took the water and drank it all in one gulp. Looking at the two water glasses in his hand, he said, "Thank you, but there's no need to use two glasses."

Liu Yuan took the two water cups, filled them with water, and handed them to Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu frowned, took the two glasses of water, tilted his head back and drank one glass in one gulp, then tilted his head back and finished the other glass in another gulp.

He handed her the cup, saying, "That's enough, don't get any more water!"
