Shi Jie turned his head. Yang Dingjun was the executive deputy county chief. They, the second generation of officials, naturally knew him. He cursed in his heart. How unlucky it was that he ran into County Chief Yang here? He thought Yang Dingjun just happened to pass by and was not too scared. Anyway, that kid hit him first. His cheek still hurts. And they were a bunch of outsiders. Yang Dingjun was the parent official of Yishan. He couldn't help outsiders. It was no big deal.
Shi Jie smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, are you here for dinner? I happened to be passing by here and ran into Chief Hu on his night patrol, so we came over to take a look."
The fat man called Section Chief Hu nodded and bowed, smiling. It was hard to imagine how he acted arrogantly just a second ago. "County Magistrate Yang, I'm Hu Shuo from the Public Security Section of the County Bureau. The public just reported that this group of people are questionable and suspicious. We are preparing to take them back for interrogation. I didn't expect to disturb your meal. I apologize, I apologize!"
Yang Dingjun didn't remember there was such a person in the Public Security Bureau. He dared to say that Xu Yao and others were not decent. If this word got to Secretary Xu's ears, would it be you who died or me? He was immediately furious. He was a shrewd man, and his face was expressionless. He said, "Oh, the masses reported? What masses? Do you have any evidence? Bring the person here for me to see!"
Fatty Hu was dumbfounded. Everyone says polite words every day. Just say it for the sake of courtesy. I haven't offended you. Why are you taking it so seriously? He glanced at Shi Jie, who was also a little unsure of the situation. He lowered his head and dared not speak.
Seeing Hu Shuo and Shi Jie remained silent, Yang Dingjun knew that they were deliberately looking for trouble. He suddenly slapped the table, his thick eyebrows almost jumping up, and said angrily: "Don't you see where this place is? How can you be so lawless? Hu Shuo, from now on you will be suspended from your post immediately to reflect on yourself and make a thorough self-examination. The Public Security Bureau will hold a team meeting tomorrow to focus on your problem."
Hu Shuo was startled and took a few steps back. His face turned pale. He was anxious and scared, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He opened his mouth to explain: "County Magistrate Yang, this is what happened..."
Yang Dingjun waved his hand roughly and said, "You don't have to explain. I don't want to hear it. How did Shi Daqing become the director? I will ask him tomorrow. The purpose of public security patrols is to protect the safety of the people. If it disturbs the people and causes trouble!"
No one understands what happened tonight. What's the big deal about making some extra money while on patrol? Isn't it just a matter of catching someone and giving him a lesson? It's bad luck for us to run into the leader. We can just give him a lecture. Why should we pull him to death just because he has something wrong with us
Hu Shuo said he was the head of the Public Security Department, but in fact he was just a section-level cadre, with no rank at all. Yang Dingjun could strip him of his skin with just a word, not to mention suspending him from his post. Seeing the leader's seriousness, his mind went blank, and in the confusion there was only one voice shouting:
It’s over, it’s over!
Shi Jie was just a kid, usually pretending to be cool among his classmates. He had never seen such a scene before, so his legs went weak and he wanted to run away. Yang Dingjun saw him and shouted, "Where are you going? Come back and stand still, and apologize to these classmates!"
Wen Liang stood up straight with a smile on his face, full of teasing and disdain. When Shi Jie saw him like this, it was like swallowing a fly, stuck in his throat, his face was red with anger, but he couldn't say the words of apology!
"County Magistrate Yang, I think we should just forget it. We can't mess with the director's son. This morning when we were visiting Baiou Lake, it was this director's son who led a group of people to act tyrannically. Not only did he throw a female classmate's bag into the lake, he also beat people up. In the evening he followed us here and wanted to arrest us all. Ha, if I hadn't come to Yishan, I would have never seen such a powerful person."
Yang Dingjun originally thought that the trouble was caused by Hu Shuo and his group of blind people, and that arresting him would give them an explanation. After all, Shi Jie was Shi Daqing's son, and although he had just spoken rudely, as an elder, he should just give him a reprimand and not be too harsh.
Unexpectedly, Wen Liang put all the blame on Shi Jie in just a few words. If Yang Dingjun didn't punish him severely, all his actions would be in vain. He frowned and said, "So that's the case, Shi Jie, you are too outrageous. Apologize immediately. A meeting of the leadership team of the bureau will be held tonight, and all those involved will be dealt with seriously. The image of law enforcement officers is the image of Yishan, and it must not be ruined by you black sheep.
Hu Shuo was truly desperate. He had just planned to wait until Yang Dingjun's anger subsided tomorrow, and then use his connections to suppress the matter. After all, he was just verbally indecent, and he didn't even touch him. How could such a trivial matter turn out like this
A meeting will be held tonight, and I am doomed to be stripped of my skin. I didn't care about the number of people, I knelt down and begged: "County Magistrate Yang, I was blinded by greed, I violated the discipline, I am sorry for these people, and I have damaged the image of Yishan. I really realize my mistakes, and I will never dare to make them again. Please give me another chance, I really won't dare to do it again."
Yang Dingjun was really irritated by his tearful and ugly crying. He pointed at him and shouted angrily, "Shut up and stand up!"
Hu Shuo shuddered all over, and when he raised his head he met Yang Dingjun's cold eyes. He stopped crying immediately, and without caring about throwing a tantrum, he climbed up and dared not say another word.
"Take your people and get out!"
Wen Liang knew that there were no grassroots cadres who didn't swear, but it was still refreshing to hear a deputy county chief yelling "get out" in front of everyone. Shi Jie was really scared, and immediately bowed deeply to Wen Liang and others, and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Wen Liang looked at Yang Dingjun's livid face and couldn't say anything more sarcastic. He leaned over to Shi Jie's ear and whispered, "Remember, you have to pay ten times the price for the bag that was damaged!"
Shi Jie glared at him and turned away. Hu Shuo, supported by a group of silent defense team members, moved out of the hotel like a zombie.
After the farce ended, Yang Dingjun said apologetically, "I am a very incompetent host. Not only did I fail to do a good job in reception, but I also let you see the other side of Yishan. I don't know how to explain this to Director Wen. I am so embarrassed!"
Hearing the local official say such words, Wen Liang also looked at this person with new eyes. The fact that a deputy county magistrate could condescend to be so humble, although it was not unrelated to Xu Yao, it also showed that this person was very thoughtful.
Very good, what we need is people who are willing to work together so that we can save a lot of effort in the future.
Yang Dingjun arranged the meal and went there in a hurry. The county public security bureau was already in chaos. Yang Dingjun did not mention the identities of Wen Liang and others, but only briefly explained the matter, raising it to the level of Yishan's image as a window to the outside world. Shi Daqing had already listened to the reports of his subordinates and knew that he could not offend Yang Dingjun tonight, so he immediately agreed to expel Hu Shuo from the party. Poor Fatty Hu never understood until his death that he had only flirted with a little girl and said a few words, but how could he cause such a big trouble!
But he never thought about what would happen to ordinary people when he bullied them.
Before leaving, Yang Dingjun specifically said, "Old Shi, children need to be disciplined sometimes, and they should not get into trouble outside all day. They might get into trouble."
Shi Daqing agreed without hesitation, but he didn't agree in his heart. It's just someone you have connections with, my son has nothing to do with you!
After returning to the office, Shi Jie came out of the suite and cried, "Dad, you have to help me vent my anger. Really, I didn't do anything, but that guy beat me up. Just now, County Magistrate Yang helped him bully me. I have never suffered such an injustice! 5555..."
Shi Daqing only had this one son, and he doted on him too much. He was annoyed by his son's crying and shouted, "I'm not dead yet, why are you crying? I'll check tomorrow to see who that man is. Damn it, you dare to come to Yishan to bully my son, you're looking for death!"
The phone on the table suddenly rang. Shi Daqing picked it up and shouted, "Hello!"
The expression on his face suddenly made a 180-degree turn. His mouth was so wide open from laughing that it stretched to the back of his head. His waist naturally lowered by several inches. Even Shi Jie could hear the flattery in his voice: "Yes, yes, Director Liu, I'm Xiao Shi... No, no, I really didn't drink. I was handling things in the bureau, and my voice was a little loud just now... Um, um, okay, I know, I know, don't worry, I will, I will!"
After hanging up the phone, Shi Jie looked gloomy and asked, "Dad, who is it?"
“Bang!”
Shi Daqing turned around and slapped Shi Jie, knocking him down on the table. Shi Jie covered his face and cried out in disbelief, "Why are you hitting me?"
"You little bastard, you've caused a big disaster, do you know that? Damn it, I might even lose my job. You little bastard, I'll make sure you keep causing trouble for me all day long, and I'll beat you to death!"
Wen Liang and the other three returned to their rooms after dinner. Gu Wenyuan and the others had just left, so one room should have been vacant. But everyone seemed to have forgotten about it. Yang Dingjun left in a hurry and didn't notice the inconvenience, so by mistake, they really lived in the same room.
The three girls were still huddled together talking about what happened just now. Wen Liang came out of the bedroom and said, "Okay, don't let those low-class guys pollute our ears. Everyone, be quiet. We have something meaningful to discuss now."
As soon as the words came out, the three girls shut up immediately, but no one looked at him, and they all went about their business. Xu Yao sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking around for the TV remote control. Ning Xiaoning took an orange from the fruit bowl and peeled it leisurely. Ji Su was putting the melon seeds, plums and other snacks left over from the trip on the coffee table. The three of them were busy with their own things, ignoring Wen Liang as if he was air.
Wen Liang knew that it was getting late, and girls would be a little shy at this time, but no matter how shy they were, they couldn't turn a young and strong man into air. Avoiding the problem was not a solution, so he smiled and said, "I found that the bed in the bedroom is really big. According to ergonomics and space theory, I think it should be able to sleep four people at the same time..."
Before he could finish his words, orange peels, sofa pillows, and plum bags flew over at the same time, and the clear yet shy voices of the three women came to his ears:
