Li Chu was writing his performance review report, which was basically a lavish praise of himself, followed by a few minor, insignificant shortcomings, and finally a look towards the future.

He was utterly speechless about this performance review report or the annual work summary that he had to write at the end of each year.

After all these years, he still doesn't understand why he writes this. Is it for evaluating merits and awarding prizes? Not at all. He even doubts whether the leaders will even look at it after he submits it.

But he couldn't not write it. For example, the staff of the General Office had called to urge him to submit his performance report. If he didn't submit it soon, it would look bad.

"Dong dong dong"

"Please come in."

"Old Li, I thought you went to a meeting. I only realized you hadn't left when I saw your car there."

"Political Commissar Gao, come and sit down! Today is just the first day of reporting for duty, so I didn't go. I asked Xiao Tian to run the errand for me."

"I knew it! I thought there would be a proper meeting today because I saw Lao Du leave earlier."

"It seems that Lao Du has some friends from out of town who have come to visit."

Zhao Zhijun from next door came in at that moment. He made a cup of tea for Political Commissar Gao, refilled Li Chu's cup with water, and closed the office door behind him when he left.

"Old Li, I have an anonymous whistleblower letter here, it was forwarded from headquarters, take a look."

After Zhao Zhijun closed the door and left, Political Commissar Gao took an envelope out of his jacket pocket and placed it on the table.

Li Chu didn't touch the letter, but looked at the political commissar sitting opposite him with some doubt.

Logically, his personnel file is at headquarters, not under the management of the main hospital. If it is a complaint letter reflecting problems about him, headquarters should not have forwarded it down.

"Oh, I didn't report you." Political Commissar Gao realized he hadn't explained himself clearly and clarified.

"This letter of complaint is against your spouse, Comrade Ding Qiunan."

"What? You reported Qiu Nan?" Li Chu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets; he really hadn't expected this.

He hurriedly reached for the envelope on the table, but stopped just as he was about to take the letter of complaint out of it.

By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Yeguo Reading (yeguoyuedu). Install the latest version.

"Old Gao, this is against the rules. Comrade Ding Qiunan is my lover, and I should avoid any appearance of impropriety. Besides, I am no longer a member of the college committee, so I can't read this letter."

When his wife was involved, Li Chu momentarily lost his composure, but fortunately he reacted quickly.

As he spoke, he put the letter of complaint back on the table.

"Investigate however you need to. I'm going to a meeting starting tomorrow, and if necessary, I'll go back to my office at headquarters after the meeting."

Li Chu had complete faith in his wife and didn't believe she would make any mistakes.

It could even be said that even if he himself made a mistake, Ding Qiunan would never make one.

She's the kind of person who wouldn't even take a single piece of paper from the hospital back home.

Because there's no need for it at all. We have everything at home, and we're not short of money or possessions, so why would we want to take advantage of such a small thing?

The reason he made that statement was simply to show off his superior attitude.

Political Commissar Gao smiled and waved his hand: "Old Li, don't be too sensitive. Showing you this letter of complaint is not for any other reason. Neither the headquarters leaders nor I believe that Comrade Ding Qiunan would make such an outrageous mistake."

This is an anonymous whistleblower letter. As you know our policy, anonymous whistleblower reports are ignored unless they provide detailed and reliable evidence.

That's true. If we investigate everything, firstly, the comrades in the supervisory department will be overwhelmed, and secondly, will they still be able to work normally? They'll just have to be on guard against backstabbers all day long. How can you do a job without offending someone?

Therefore, when supervisory departments encounter anonymous whistleblower letters, they will generally ignore them unless evidence is provided or the detailed time, address, and incident of the reported crime or misconduct are clearly listed.

But if it's a report made under a real name, that's different; it must be thoroughly investigated.

Like the case of Guo Xiangyang reporting Li Chu last time, that was a real-name report, which required an investigation by higher authorities.

He just didn't expect that he would end up getting himself imprisoned.

"Take a look, Lao Li, and see if you can figure out who wrote it. This is also what the higher-ups want."

Now Li Chu couldn't play dumb anymore, so he had no choice but to pick up the letter again.

The letter was very simple, but it was also beyond Li Chu's expectations. No wonder that neither his superiors nor Political Commissar Gao cared about the contents of the letter; they were more concerned about the person who wrote it.

The letter accused Ding Qiunan of only one thing: misusing official vehicles.

In fact, you could say that his letter was a denunciation of both Li Chu and Ding Qiunan.

Because the bus mentioned in the letter is Li Chu's bus.

The "personal use" referred to means that when Ding Qiunan needed to go out during work hours, she would often have Tian Jun drive her, and there were even a few times when she drove herself out.

One example cited was that Ding Qiunan once drove this car to a restaurant for a meal.

From the hospital's perspective, she should be awarded a banner for using Li Chu's car, because she saved the hospital money on vehicles and fuel.

After all, the fuel for Li Chu's car wasn't supplied by the hospital.

However, the whistleblower failed to understand one thing: the Audi 100 in question is not a government vehicle.

If it were the previous Volga, then it could be argued that it was used for private purposes.

This Audi was a reward given to Li Chu by the commerce department, and it was reported and approved at each level. It can be said that apart from the license plate, the whole car is a private car.

Moreover, the fuel we're currently using is all from the fuel coupons that the commerce department gave us when they provided the vehicles; it has absolutely nothing to do with official vehicles.

Therefore, his report is completely unfounded.

"Hehe," Li Chu chuckled as he read the letter.

He smiled and shook his head, put the letter back into the envelope, and placed it on the table.

Political Commissar Gao smiled and picked up his cup to take a sip of water.

"So, Lao Li, did you discover anything after reading it?"

"Old Gao, is investigating this person an order from higher-ups, or your personal order?"

Li Chu did not answer his question, but instead asked a question.

"Uh...you could say it's the higher-ups' idea. They mainly want to find out what he's really thinking. If he just dislikes this, that's fine, but if he has other ideas, then that's a different story."

That's right. If the whistleblower is honest and genuinely disapproves of Ding Qiunan using Li Chu's car all the time, thinking she's misusing a public vehicle, then it's because he doesn't know the truth of the matter. Ignorance is no excuse, after all.

But if it's because of other issues, like wanting revenge, then that's a different story.
