When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.
With no backing, Li Lin's polit...
Liu Zhong bent over, looked at Li Lin and Zhang Yupei with a smile, and asked them if they needed help in handling their business.
Li Lin and Zhang Yupei smiled at each other, feeling very surprised that the approval hall actually had agency services.
Seeing that the two were not talking, Liu Zhong smiled and said, "What kind of business do you two want to do? If you are worried, I can help you with it and then pay me for my hard work."
Li Lin asked him with interest, "How many agents like you are there in this hall?"
Liu Zhong thought that Li Lin wanted to test his ability, so he pointed at the people around him and said confidently, "Look, those are my people. We are the only ones who can get things done in this area. No one else can do it."
"Oh? From your looks, you are not a civil servant. Why do we have to have you come forward to get things done?" Li Lin asked.
Hearing this, Liu Zhong became even more proud and laughed, "This piece of land belongs to our village. Many of the clerks there are my acquaintances. I can usually get it done as long as I say hello... I don't take your money for nothing. I also have to buy cigarettes and water for those clerks there, hehe..."
He thought that after this explanation, Li Lin and the other two would be happy to cooperate with him.
But what I didn't expect was that Li Lin changed the subject and said, "Their duty is to provide services to the people free of charge. I don't believe that we can't get things done without you as a middleman!"
"Yupei, let's go in and take a look."
After saying that, he took Zhang Yupei straight into the approval hall, leaving Liu Zhong alone standing there in a daze.
It wasn't until Li Lin and Zhang Yupei disappeared from sight that Liu Zhong cursed, "Fuck... why are you pretending to be nice to me? Who do you think you are? If I say you can't do it, then you can't do it. I'll wait for you to come back and find me!"
Then, he beckoned over a subordinate and told him, "Go follow those two people and see what business they are doing..."
The subordinate was a thin man with a pair of protruding ears and two bright eyes. He nodded frequently as he listened to Liu Zhong's instructions, and in a flash he caught up with Li Lin and Zhang Yupei.
Li Lin and Zhang Yupei went in and took a look around, and found that every window was full of people...but there were only a few staff members responsible for handling the business. Many workstations in the office area were empty, and there was basically only one staff member handling business in each service unit.
"Yupei, look, each unit has three to five service windows, but why is there only one window occupied? Where are the others?" Li Lin asked with a frown.
Zhang Yupei nodded repeatedly and said, "Leader, I'll go ask."
As he spoke, Zhang Yupei walked to a nearby service window, squeezed into the crowd, and leaned over to ask the staff, "Excuse me, where are the staff at your other windows?"
The staff member was a young lesbian, with painted eyebrows and eyes, and a perfumed smell that made people cry...
When she heard someone asking where the others had gone, she paused, stopped what she was doing, turned around and looked at Zhang Yupei. Seeing that he was wearing an executive jacket and a mask, she was afraid that he was the unannounced inspection team of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and asked with a smile, "Hello, comrade, which unit are you from? Is there anything wrong?"
Zhang Yupei waved his hand and said, "I am not from any unit. I am just an ordinary citizen who comes to do business. I want to ask, you have opened so many service windows, why are you the only one working there? Where are the others?"
When the female staff member heard Zhang Yupei say that he was just an ordinary person, the smile on her face immediately turned cold. She glared at Zhang Yupei fiercely and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, "Why do you have so many questions? If you want to get things done, go and wait in line at the back!"
Zhang Yupei was surprised. How could these staff members turn against each other so suddenly?
Just because I am an ordinary person, do they dare to ignore me?
Zhang Yupei frowned and asked, "With so many people queuing at one window, can you handle it all by yourself? Why don't you open other windows to speed up the process? I ask you again, where are all your colleagues? Call them over to work!"
Bang!
The female staff member threw the documents in her hand onto the desk, stared at Zhang Yupei with wide eyes, and rudely stretched out a finger, pointed at Zhang Yupei's nose and shouted, "Are you here to do business or to cause trouble? Aren't we staff members human? Don't we all need to rest? We only have one window, you can do it or not, if you don't want to do it, get out, don't get in my way, security guard! Someone is looking for trouble!"
As she spoke, the female staff member stood up and shouted to the security guard at the door...
Zhang Yupei was afraid that the incident would make a big deal and affect Li Lin's secret visit, so he quickly compromised and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go to the back to queue up. Don't call the security guard, don't call..."
Seeing Zhang Yupei give in, the female staff member cursed and sat back in her seat. She grabbed the documents on the table, took a look, and slammed them heavily on the table, saying angrily, "Where did this idiot come from? It really ruins the fun..."
As she spoke, the female staff member stood up and walked towards the inner office... When she came out, she was replaced by a male staff member... The male staff member seemed not to have rested enough in the room. When he came out, his face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed. He looked at the pending documents piled on the table with an impatient look...
It turned out that the other staff members were resting in the inner office, and only one person would come out to continue working after a while...
After finding out the situation, Zhang Yupei quickly pulled himself out of the crowd, trotted to Li Lin, and said angrily, "County Magistrate Li, look carefully, each workstation is equipped with a dedicated staff, but they only opened one window, and the staff at the other windows are resting in the inner office... This group of people is really abominable, taking the government salary and running here to live a life of luxury, and the attitude of those staff is extremely bad, and the people have no choice but to swallow their anger in order to get things done..."
Is there such a thing?
They are so brave!
Li Lin frowned and his eyes gradually tightened. He glanced at the empty workstations and the crowds of people crowding around the windows, and felt extremely angry.
"Let's go check out other units."
The two men turned and walked towards the service area of the tax department, their steps slightly heavy.
There are also many people who come to pay taxes, but most of them are employees of enterprises and institutions, and there are very few ordinary people.
At this time, a citizen who came to do business at the innermost window and a staff member had an argument for some unknown reason and started blaming each other, and the noise became louder and louder.
The people questioned, "I just want to check my tax payment records, why can't I check them? Why can't you let me check them? Isn't this your job responsibility? What do you staff members do?"
The staff member threw the mouse in his hand and said angrily, "What if I don't check for you? Is it worth it to come here and waste my time for such a small matter? If you make trouble again, I will ask the security to drag you out now!"
Even if the masses are wrong, your staff shouldn't speak in this way, right? Besides, the masses are not wrong!
He drags people out at every turn...what a powerful official!
Li Lin and Zhang Yupei followed the sound and walked towards the window.
