The next morning, Science and Technology Department.

The director's secretary Dong Xiaopeng came to the unit as usual. He lived nearby and was accustomed to arriving half an hour earlier than the director.

I cleaned the director's office, made tea, delivered newspapers, and then waited for the leader to come to work. I sat in the office next to my own and helped with calling numbers, organizing documents, and serving tea and water.

But this morning, he noticed something was a little off in the department.

In the past, the most common people around the director's office were factory managers, bosses, and project managers waiting in the corridor for their numbers to be called.

But today, I don’t know what happened, many colleagues who I don’t usually interact with would intentionally or unintentionally pass by the office from upstairs or downstairs and deliberately take a look inside the room.

In the half hour before eight o'clock when he started work, he had seen no less than a dozen groups of people coming.

This made Secretary Dong feel a little strange.

However, as the working time was approaching, he still had many chores to take care of and had no time to go into details, so he made some Gongshan Xuemei tea, the director's favorite drink, and sat on the sofa in the reception room sorting newspapers while waiting for the leader to enter the office.

"Hey, did you hear any noise last night? It seems like someone went to Director Shen's dormitory and it was very noisy!"

"Director Shen is usually quite polite. Who did he offend? Why is he being visited at home?"

"Nonsense, that's offending people. It was obviously the Commission for Discipline Inspection who went to look for him. They searched the house hard. I came out with my clothes on and listened to what they said. They said something about corruption!"

"Nonsense! How come our Planning Commission officials don't know anything about such a big thing? I saw Old Xu smiling as he walked into the yard this morning!"

"Tsk, maybe he was sent by the higher-ups to investigate this matter! That's the end of us, Director Shen is in big trouble this time!"

"Is he really greedy?"

"Shh! Please keep your voice down! Director Shen's position is so lucrative, tsk tsk ..."

"That's not right. Why does Xiaodong act like nothing happened?"

"He's just a secretary. If Xiao Shen was greedy, would he have let him do it?"

Whispers could be heard from time to time in the corridor, but when they reached Dong Xiaopeng's ears, he didn't hear them so clearly.

But he did hear names like Director Shen and Secretary Dong. It would be unpleasant for anyone to be gossiped about behind his back.

"What did you say?"

Dong Xiaopeng put down the newspaper, stood up and went out. As expected, he saw several female comrades gathered in the corridor, discussing something.

"Haha, Xiao Dong, your Director Shen hasn't arrived yet?"

"Accountant Zhang, how would I know about the leader's affairs? I can't ask!" Dong Xiaopeng frowned and immediately asked, "Accountant Zhang, what were you talking about just now?"

"No, nothing! I'm busy!"

The group of people took a curious look inside the office and immediately scattered.

"Leader, hasn't your Director Shen arrived yet? When can we, who are number one in line, go in and hand in our materials?"

"Wait a moment..." Dong Xiaopeng waved his hand, but when he looked down at his watch, he was shocked. It had been ten minutes since he started work, and Director Shen hadn't arrived yet.

He walked quickly into the office, closed the door, and called Shen Yujing's home. After waiting for a long time, the call was connected, but no one answered.

"Damn, nothing's going to happen, right?"

As soon as this thought popped up in Dong Xiaopeng's mind, his face turned pale, and then his heart started beating wildly.

He paced back and forth in the room, subconsciously putting his fingers in his mouth and biting them, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He has been following Shen Yujing for nearly ten years. He has been his assistant since he became deputy director. Later, when he became director, he was directly promoted to secretary.

In all these years, Shen Yujing has never been late.

He plopped down on the sofa, stared at the clock on the chest of drawers, and began to count the minutes as they moved.

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

I don’t know how much time had passed, but suddenly there was a knock on the door, which scared Dong Xiaopeng.

"Director!"

He shouted and hurried to open the door, but his face froze.

Xu Hanlin, deputy director of the office, was standing at the door with a serious face. "Secretary Dong, what's going on? Look at the crowded corridor. What's going on? What happened? Why are you sweating? Where is Director Shen?"

Dong Xiaopeng was sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Director Xu, I don't know where Director Shen is. I've been waiting for him, but I can't get through to his home phone..."

"He's not here?" Xu Hanlin poked his head into the office in confusion and asked in surprise, "It's already nine o'clock and he hasn't come yet?"

"Yeah..." Dong Xiaopeng's heart trembled. He subconsciously glanced at the wall, and the soles of his feet tensed instantly.

It’s already nine o’clock!

When he came to his senses, Director Xu had already walked into the office and picked up the phone on the table. "What's his phone number?"

"2414144!" Dong Xiaopeng said hurriedly.

Xu Hanlin dialed the number and shouted to the operator seriously, "Connect to Room 214 of the Science and Technology Department of the Planning Commission. Yes, Shen Yujing!"

After saying this, he waited patiently until the operator reminded him that the call was connected. He waited patiently for a while longer, then turned his head to look at Dong Xiaopeng's uneasy expression and frowned.

"Director Xu, right? There's no one at his home!" Secretary Dong swallowed nervously.

"Tap Tap!"

Before Director Xu could reply, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor, like thousands of troops coming from a battlefield.

Hey!

I don’t know which factory manager in the corridor made a hissing sound, but the whole space was in an uproar as if it had been hit by a cannonball.

Xu Hanlin tilted his head, looked past Dong Xiaopeng's puzzled face at the face outside, and his eyes became more serious.

What happened?

The long beeping of the phone continued.

He is still waiting.

Tatata!

But the footsteps suddenly stopped outside the door.

"Excuse me, who is Dong Xiaopeng's secretary?"

Suddenly, a powerful voice appeared at the door.

Dong Xiaopeng's shoulders trembled and he was completely stunned.

Xu Hanlin hung up the phone silently and called out, "Xiao Dong..."

"I..." Dong Xiaopeng swallowed, his face turned pale, "I am Dong Xiaopeng!"

"This is a subpoena!" The man took out a document from his pocket. "We are from the National Commission for Discipline Inspection. Please come back with us and cooperate with the investigation!"

"National Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

This title is really huge!

Dong Xiaopeng was so scared that he spoke out, but Xu Hanlin became a little confused.

"Comrade, can I ask what happened? Is it related to our Director Shen?"

"I'm sorry, comrade, we have no information about the details of the case. A comrade has already sent the relevant notice to your unit! Dong Xiaopeng, please!" The person who spoke stretched out his hand and stepped aside.

Just as Dong Xiaopeng's legs were about to go weak, someone held him up and took him out.

Xu Hanlin chased out and saw someone wearing the same National Commission for Discipline Inspection uniform coming out from the direction of the office.

He looked back at the seat where Shen Yujing used to sit, and looked at the dark crowd in the corridor. Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind.

Then, his whole body suddenly became bright and beautiful.

It must be his masterpiece!

At this moment, Xu Hanlin was overjoyed, and the urge to tell Li Xiangnan the good news reached its peak. He held on to the door frame and grinned.

Doctor Li, I used to not believe in the saying that the best doctors treat the country, the middle doctors treat people, and the lower doctors treat diseases.

But today, I, Xu Hanlin, believe it.
