After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

"I am sorry to have caused trouble to Secretary Lin, County Magistrate Li, and all the other leaders. They watched me put on such a farce."

As the door of the box shut out Wei Mengjiao's voice, Lu An immediately expressed his apologies to Lin Kuifan and other county party committee cadres with a smile.

This move caught Lin Kuifan and the others off guard. They immediately apologized to Lu An, explaining that they had not done their job well and had repeatedly caused trouble to Team Leader Lu's work and life.

Lin Kuifan particularly emphasized that they would conduct a thorough self-examination when they returned, and asked all departments to be highly alert and resolutely prevent such incidents from happening again.

Chen Shiqiang also made a self-examination and said that he would strengthen the management of Mingzheng Guesthouse after returning.

Lu An burst out laughing. He originally felt embarrassed that his affair with Wei Mengjiao was exposed, but he didn't expect that these people were more enthusiastic than each other.

Of course Lu An could understand it. After all, they promised him yesterday that they would stop interfering with the case. But today, Li Hongxia and Wei Mengjiao, mother and daughter, arranged a dinner for them. This was not only a slap in the face, but also a reflection of their county party committee's incompetence or that they did not take the provincial disciplinary inspection commission seriously.

If it was just simple incompetence, it would be fine, but if it was the latter, it would be a big trouble, so they had to adopt a positive attitude and seek Lu An's forgiveness.

And this is just the first game.

Then, when the door of the box was knocked open hurriedly, it was the Organization Minister of the County Party Committee who arrived.

Organization Minister Zhou Guozhong wore gold-rimmed glasses, a plaid shirt, and had his hair done, looking smart and fashionable.

As soon as he entered the room, Lin Kuifan immediately opened fire on him, questioning how he did his job.

"We just held a team meeting last night. I repeatedly stressed to you that all units should be on high alert. Why is your Organization Department special? Do you, as the Organization Department Director, want to be a mountain king?"

Zhou Guozhong broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He hurriedly apologized to Lin Kuifan and said that it was because he, as the Organization Minister, was not proactive enough and failed to convey the spirit of the meeting in a timely manner.

"Please rest assured, Secretary. I will deal with the responsible persons seriously. Um... Secretary, where are the people from my Organization Department?"

Just when Zhou Guozhong was about to deal with the matter in person and give an explanation, he looked around and found no outsiders there.

Lin Kuifan snorted coldly: "Let Comrade Shiqiang tell you."

Chen Shiqiang then took two steps forward and told him that Wang Zhuohui was suspected of violating laws and disciplines because he accepted a bribe of 100,000 yuan from Li Hongxia and Wei Mengjiao to help them smooth over relationships, and he has now been placed under disciplinary supervision by the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Zhou Guozhong screamed, completely dumbfounded. He never expected this result.

If it was just a dinner party, then the spirit of the meeting was not fully conveyed. But now that money has been accepted, the problem is completely different. It has been brought to the table, and if it is not handled properly, it will become his political stain.

Zhou Guozhong reacted quickly. He first praised Chen Shiqiang for his good handling, and then regretted deeply that he did not discover the black sheep in the team earlier. He knew Wang Zhuohui was a good comrade who worked diligently, but he did not expect that he could not stand the test.

Zhou Guozhong once again apologized to Lin Kuifan, saying that it was his failure to lead the team well that caused trouble and brought discredit to the county.

But Lin Kuifan was not going to let it go easily. He reminded: "This is not just a smear campaign against the county. This case is on file with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. It was investigated by comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. You dared to intervene in such a case. Your Organization Department is really going to rebel against the sky!"

Zhou Guozhong could only continue to apologize and review himself, and this time he also brought Lu An along, indicating that he had added trouble to the work of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

When the ball was kicked over, Lu An understood that he had to express his stance.

Lu An thought for a moment and then looked up: "Secretary Lin, originally this is an internal matter of Pingjiang County, and I shouldn't have asked about it. But it happened again and again, and on the second day after you convened a team meeting, someone actually committed a crime in defiance of the law. I think this matter needs to be taken seriously."

"Of course I have great confidence in your Party spirit and leadership ability, but as I said before, there are too many people in the entire county committee. There are at least several hundred section chiefs like Wang Zhuohui, right?"

"It is said that a single rat dropping can spoil the whole barrel. I believe that most cadres are good under your leadership, but as long as there are one or two bad intentions, they can ruin the whole situation. We must be on guard!"

"And today's dinner party also shows that there is still room for further investigation into Wei Dezheng's case. You know, Li Hongxia and Wei Mengjiao, mother and daughter, can easily take out 100,000 to bribe our cadres, and even reach out to Mingzheng Guesthouse. This is too scary!"

Lin Kuifan's expression was rather serious. He said that it was the comrades in the province who had to think more far-reachingly.

"I don't really want to doubt my comrades, but now that something has gone wrong, I have to do a comprehensive physical examination. I can't wait until something serious goes wrong and then regret it. It will be too late then!"

Chen Shiqiang followed suit and said that he would thoroughly investigate the entire matter after returning and cooperate with relevant departments to hold everyone responsible accountable.

"The Organization Department will also conduct self-correction and self-examination activities to investigate and punish anyone found guilty, and will not tolerate any leniency!"

Zhou Guozhong also expressed his attitude loudly, but his expression was somewhat desperate, because Lu An's statement clearly showed that he had no intention of letting the matter go lightly, and the Organization Department and he, the minister, were likely to be in the spotlight.

After making his statement, Lin Kuifan looked at Lu An and said that it was the comrades in the province who stood high and saw far: "The comrades in the county lacked sufficient ideological weapons, which led to such mistakes. So, Team Leader Lu, can you give the county some guidance this time?"

Lu An shook his head repeatedly to show that he couldn't possibly take the spotlight like this.

"I still say that. I trust Secretary Lin and the comrades in the county. From the first day we came to Pingjiang County, our attitude was to win the support and cooperation of the county, instead of relying on the fact that we are the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to ride on the shoulders of the county. We can't do our work this way!"

Lu An then smoothly changed the subject: "Actually, I was too nosy today because I could have ignored this kind of dinner party. It's just that the invitation from Li Hongxia and Wei Mengjiao made me feel that there might be room for further investigation in this case."

Lu An also said: "The same is true for Wei Dezheng himself. If we can legally control Li Hongxia and Wei Mengjiao, we may be able to break through Wei Dezheng's last psychological defense and speed up the case."

Lin Kuifan and Chen Shiqiang immediately understood what Lu An meant. They also praised Lu An for being a powerful general of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and for his quick wit.
