Lu An took a car back to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He went straight back to the provincial party committee compound without any notification or accompaniment.

Of course, this is what Lu An thought when he got in the car to leave Mingzheng Guesthouse, but when the car drove to the border of Pingjiang County and Baihu City respectively, it was stopped by people.

At the Pingjiang border was Lin Kuifan's secretary Ma Ningyuan, who first explained to Lu An on behalf of Lin Kuifan.

"In fact, the boss originally planned to organize county officials to give Director Lu a good farewell. After all, it is a great honor for Pingjiang County to have a provincial discipline inspection commission official like Director Lu. You are the pride of the entire Pingjiang!"

But then he changed the subject and said that for some reasons, this decision was opposed by other cadres, who said that it would encourage unhealthy practices, and that was why the municipal party secretary held a meeting to criticize and emphasize that they must not make another mistake at this critical juncture.

"Although the boss is the top leader, he cannot be too arbitrary and must respect the ideas of his team members, so he specially sent me to see Director Lu off!"

As the secretary of the county party secretary, Ma Ningyuan's remarks were quite skillful. He first expressed his attitude and then explained the reasons, and finally lamented that he also had his own difficulties.

It is obvious that compared with other Pingjiang County officials, Lin Kuifan, the county party secretary, is at a higher level.

Lu An remembered very clearly that at the welcoming banquet, these people were all respected Team Leader Lu, the pride of Pingjiang, and their role models.

But now that the time came for me to leave, they didn't even pretend to see me off.

With such a utilitarian official atmosphere, it is no wonder that corrupt officials like Wei Dezheng emerge.

This also shows that these cadres have a particularly narrow vision. To put it bluntly, they are short-sighted and only want to make immediate profits, without any plans to invest in the future.

These people don't think about the fact that they are at least employed by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Even if they have no background, they have offended the deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. But they are young! Who can predict the future?

Lin Kuifan has a slightly longer-term vision. He knows that investing in the future and making friends with young cadres of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection like himself will only bring benefits and no harm.

Who knows, someday in the future, you might get help from someone. Should you wait until then to cram for help?

"Please ask Secretary Ma to thank Secretary Lin for his kindness on my behalf. I will definitely keep my mission in mind and my original aspirations in mind. I will remember that I am a cadre trained by the people of Pingjiang, and I will remember Secretary Lin's cultivation and teachings of me!" said Lu An.

At the border of Baihu City, there was a person who surprised Lu An: Xiang Xiaolong, the secretary of Dong Tinghe, the secretary of the Baihu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Like Ma Ningyuan in Pingjiang, Xiang Xiaolong was here at Dong Tinghe's suggestion to see Lu An off.

In addition to simply seeing him off, Xiang Xiaolong once again conveyed Dong Tinghe's words, expressing his love for Lu An. He really hopes to get Lu An to work in the Baihu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

If Dong Tinghe's public praise and poaching after the briefing had some suspicions of bad intentions, then at this moment, Lu An could be sure that Secretary Dong sincerely wanted him to go to his place.

However, Lu An still gave the same answer: "Thank you Secretary Dong for your respect. I am deeply honored. However, Wei Dezheng's case is currently under investigation, and I have been seconded to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection as an important witness to assist in the work. If I rashly leave the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection before the case is concluded, it would be a very irresponsible behavior."

"But if I have the opportunity to choose one day in the future, the Baihu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will definitely be my first choice!"

Lu An's words were sincere, full of emotion, and even though he was only facing Dong Tinghe's secretary, he still gave his acting skills 100%.

After all, having witnessed the sharp contrast between Lin Kuifan and other Pingjiang officials, Lu An knew that he must not be as short-sighted as those guys.

Besides, Xiang Xiaolong is the secretary of the leader. If I fool him casually and he fools me again when he goes back, leaving a bad impression on the leader, it would be a waste of time and effort.

Later, facts proved that Lu An's approach was quite effective. After Xiang Xiaolong went back, Dong Tinghe actually asked in detail about Lu An's overall behavior. After learning that Lu An was actually sincere in front of Xiang Xiaolong, his secretary, Dong Tinghe once again sighed: This young man has a bright future!

At the same time, Dong Tinghe also understood that this kind of talent, who was not found in the ordinary ones, would definitely not come to his Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to help him charge into battle.

……

Lu An continued on his way back to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. This time, the driver in front suddenly asked Lu An if he was a senior cadre sent down from the central government to take up a temporary post.

Lu An was surprised why he suddenly asked this question.

After getting to know each other, Lu An knew that this driver had the same personality as Zhang Long, neither of them could do anything even if you hit them with three sticks.

People who can control their mouths are indeed suitable to be drivers of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

"Because apart from leaders like Director Ye, I have never seen any ordinary cadre receive such treatment. The county party secretary and the municipal discipline inspection committee secretary both asked their secretaries to see you off, so I guess you may be of a very special status."

Facing such a statement, Lu An smiled and said, "Master, your idea is very creative. To be honest, I also hope that you can guess it right, so that I can work less for twenty years."

Lu An was just telling his master in a tactful way that he guessed wrong.

The master was not angry, but was pleasantly surprised and said, "Then I know. It must be that you are very capable, young comrade. Leaders at all levels are very optimistic about you and think that you will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future, so they want to please you in advance!"

Lu An once again expressed his gratitude to his master, but also said that it was hard to say what would happen in the future.

However, since the driver finally spoke, Lu An took the opportunity to ask him about some things going on inside the Third Inspection Room.

"Master, is your organizational relationship with the Third Division or the Organization Department of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? Director Ye asked me to go back to the Third Division to find Director Zhao for arrangements, but I don't know Director Zhao yet. I'll have to trouble you to give me some pointers when the time comes."

As Lu An spoke, he magically took out a pack of cigarettes and gave it to the driver in front.

Lu An had prepared this a long time ago. After all, he had to go back to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but he had no idea about the situation there. He planned to go through the driver, but the driver was introverted along the way, and Lu An had been worried about it until now.

The master took the cigarette and said, "Oh, it's still Golden Mountain! Sorry for the expense."

Lu An smiled. In this era, everyone's income was around a hundred yuan. A pack of Golden Mountain at ten yuan, just in terms of price, might even exceed the sky-high prices of Zhonghua and Panda in later generations.

But for Lu An, if he could take the opportunity to learn some internal information of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it would be worth it.

Never underestimate the group of drivers in these government agencies. Maybe they are not part of the formal staff, but since they are the ones who pick up and drop off all the cadres, big and small, they may have more internal information than the leaders to some extent.

Therefore, in the workplace, drivers are usually at the same level as the leader's secretary and cannot be offended.

The master did not waste Lu An's bag of Golden Mountain tea, and then he began to explain it to Lu An like pouring beans.

First is Director Zhao, whose name is Zhao Yuedong. He is the office director of the Third Supervisory Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the person that Director Ye Xianggao trusts and relies on the most.

The most trusted and relied upon?

Lu An noticed this statement. Does this mean that the Third Supervisory Office is not a monolithic entity?

Is there anyone who wants to challenge Ye Xianggao?

With Ye Xianggao's temper and skills, there was no way he could accept this situation.

However, considering that it was the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, where many talented people were hiding, Lu An did not make any random comments and just listened.

However, the master noticed this. After introducing Zhao Yuedong as a fat man who looked very honest, he immediately changed the subject and introduced Qin Hailong, the deputy director of the Third Supervisory Office, to Lu An.

"Our deputy director Qin Hailong is no pushover. Deputy Secretary Yan Chengguang of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection knows this, right? It is said that Qin Hailong and Deputy Secretary Yan were both sent-down youths from the same brigade!"

I understand. It is obvious that Qin Hailong is the thorn that Yan Chengguang has inserted into the Third Supervisory Room.

After learning about Qin Hailong's background, some other things suddenly became clear in Lu An's mind.

No wonder Ye Xianggao assigned himself to lead Zhao Hu, Zhang Long and others to Pingjiang to handle the case. Lu An used to think that such an arrangement was totally illogical, but now it seems that Ye Xianggao might have just wanted to avoid Deputy Director Qin.

But this was obviously only concealed for a while, so later when he broke through Wei Dezheng's psychological defenses and when the case made a breakthrough, Yan Ji'an and the inspection team immediately smelled something, and they were afraid that it was the information revealed by Deputy Director Qin.

"Now that I have ruined Secretary Yan's plan, I guess I have to be careful of Deputy Director Qin when I go back, right?" Lu An asked in a joking tone.

The master told Lu An: "That may not be the case. Although Qin Hailong is the deputy director, he may not be so effective in the Third Supervision Office. Deputy Director Qin himself understands this, so he is usually quite low-key and approachable in the Third Supervision Office."

"I think as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke him, he shouldn't embarrass you too much."

Even if he embarrassed me, it didn't matter. It might even be a good thing for me because it proved that he was unlikely to cause trouble elsewhere.

After all, you, Yan Chengguang, are the deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. It would be too embarrassing if you kept holding on to such a small shrimp as yours. Moreover, Ye Xianggao is the head of the Third Supervisory Office and he would not allow Qin Hailong to do such a thing.

Lu An clapped his hands vigorously when he thought of this: "It seems that the situation is much better than I thought! Master Yao, thank you very much for telling me this, it really helped me a lot! You can choose a place in the provincial capital someday, and I will treat you to a meal!"

Master Yao turned back in surprise and said, "You are indeed a unique young comrade! I will remember that you owe me a meal."

Master Yao then emphasized: "My name is Yao Guangdao."

Lu An also laughed: "Master, this name is so grand, I'm afraid I can't forget it even if I want to!"
