When Niu Jianbin heard that the county bureau’s special funds were going to be reduced, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The special funds allocated by higher authorities to the local government are an important source of income. Without this money, the county bureau will definitely have a hard time!

Under the pressure from Wan Zhenting and Gao Lingyue, Niu Jianbin stopped quibbling and said, "Two leaders... I was not thoughtful enough and was not careful enough... But the person has been arrested, and the county leaders have been keeping an eye on this case. If I release the person without asking for permission, it would not be appropriate, right?"

Gao Lingyue smiled coldly and said disdainfully, "The main leader you are talking about is that County Magistrate Li, right? Ha, he is just a county magistrate. How dare he disobey the words of the county party secretary? How about this, I will ask my friends in the province to say hello to the county party secretary of your county. As long as he nods in agreement, you just need to release the person."

Wan Zhenting was a shrewd man. He laughed and agreed, "Director Gao is right. The county party secretary still has the final say in the county. As long as we convince the county party secretary, who can stop the county bureau from releasing the person?"

Niu Jianbin thought that as long as Secretary Liu Yong said a word, the county bureau would release the person and he wouldn't have to worry about taking any responsibility...

So he smiled and said, "Director Wan, Director Gao... Secretary Liu will be here soon. When the time comes, you two leaders can communicate with Secretary Liu in person. As long as he nods, even County Magistrate Li Lin will not dare to disagree."

Speaking of Liu Yong, Wan Zhenting enthusiastically introduced him to Gao Lingyue, "Director Gao, this Secretary Liu Yong is no ordinary person. He just passed the People's Congress election and is now the deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress!"

Hearing this, Gao Lingyue simply smiled faintly, but the contempt in his eyes could not be hidden.

In his eyes, county-level cadres are grassroots cadres, and division-level and bureau-level cadres are useless. Deputy director of the People's Congress just sounds good and does not have much real power. Therefore, he does not think highly of this deputy bureau-level county party secretary.

While the three were talking, Liu Yong, under the guidance of a comrade from the county bureau, pushed the door and walked into the reception room.

As soon as they met, he ran towards Wan Zhenting with a smile and said politely, "Director Wan, you are a rare guest. On behalf of all the comrades of the two committees of Shannan County, I warmly welcome you! Hehehe..."

Wan Zhenting stood up and shook hands with him, and responded politely, "I heard that you have made great progress, so I came here to ask for a glass of wedding wine. Congratulations! Hahaha..."

Both of them are very presentable and have their own way of speaking.

Then Wan Zhenting introduced Liu Yong, "Secretary Liu, let me introduce you to this... This is the leader of the Ministry of Public Security, Director Gao Lingyue."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yong immediately showed a respectful look, stretched out his hands and tightly held Gao Lingyue's right hand, and said with a smile, "Director Gao, nice to meet you, welcome to our Shannan County to guide our work! If there is anything we have not done well, please don't be polite, we will humbly accept the criticism!"

Gao Lingyue's face was tense at first, but facing Liu Yong's enthusiasm and sincerity, his tense face gradually relaxed, and finally revealed a smile. He shook Liu Yong's hand and said, "Secretary Liu, I can see that you are a person with high quality. You will definitely have a bright future in the future, hehe..."

Liu Yong said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Director Gao. From now on, it will be the world of young people. After working at the grassroots level for so many years, I should take a good rest! But Director Gao, you have reached a high position at such a young age. You really have a bright future! Hahaha."

This wave of rainbow farts made Gao Lingyue feel happier...

If he had not come here to do business today, he would have wanted to make friends with Secretary Liu. Even just hearing him praise himself a few more times would be very helpful.

He thought, since Liu Yong was so enthusiastic, he would surely agree to release the person when he was asked to do so, right? This would save him a lot of trouble, as he didn't need to ask other provincial leaders to greet Liu Yong, saving a favor!

The four of them sat down as host and guest.

Liu Yong looked enthusiastic and asked behind closed doors, "Director Gao, is there anything we can do for you during your visit to Shannan?"

Wan Zhenting and Niu Jianbin tactfully kept silent and sat quietly aside, watching how Gao Lingyue would get Liu Yong to agree to release the people.

As local officials, it was inappropriate for either of them to say such things as it would easily give people a chance to criticize them. Especially since Niu Jianbin was Liu Yong's subordinate, it was even more impossible for him to go against policy and intercede for the prisoner.

At this time, Gao Lingyue spoke confidently. He smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, there are no outsiders here. I will speak directly. Some time ago, three of my friends from Beijing came to Shannan to invest in business. They had a physical conflict with others and were arrested by comrades from the county bureau... It's not a big deal. They are all children of Beijing nobles. I think we should let them go. In the future, Secretary Liu, when you go to Beijing to do business, you will have one more friend, right?"

His words were gentle, but there was a hint of threat. They were all sons of noble families, so they would have one more friend in the future... On the other hand, if you, Liu Yong, don't let them go, you will have more enemies of the sons of noble families in the future. You should consider the importance of this carefully!

Liu Yong understood, but he still had a smile on his face. He would never offend someone in person, especially someone who was stronger than himself.

He weighed the matter in his mind for a moment, looking embarrassed, and said carefully, "Director Gao, I need to explain this to you first."

"First of all, I have already taken up my post at the Municipal People's Congress. The main reason I am staying in the county now is to train a successor. I am in a semi-hidden state. The head of the county is Li Lin now. Although this has not been explicitly stated, the county's top brass are basically all aware of it."

Then he turned to look at Niu Jianbin, hinting with his eyes that he should stand up and agree with him to prove that what he said was true.
