Mr. Liu's study was fully stocked with tea. As soon as he entered, he made a cup of tea for Li Xu, and then said kindly, "Xiao Xu, we didn't expect you to come today, and we haven't had time to prepare the big red envelope yet. Please don't mind."

Hearing the words "big red envelope", Li Xu knew it must be related to Liu Gang. However, since he was at the Liu family, he couldn't do anything special. He could only smile and say, "Grandpa Liu, that was just Uncle Liu joking with me. If you really prepared a big red envelope for me, to be honest, I would be embarrassed to accept it."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Their salaries are much higher than ours." Liu Gang quickly followed up.

Old Master Liu glared at him, then explained to Li Xu, "Xiao Xu, don't think too much. This red envelope is not a reward for providing you with information. To be honest, we had this idea two years ago and even prepared a big red envelope. It's just that the gift you brought was food. In order to prevent you from thinking that we were using money to buy food, we temporarily changed our minds and changed it to a small red envelope.

Now that the disaster is over, we thought you wouldn't bring food this year, so we thought of giving you a big red envelope."

His meaning was very clear. He meant that Li Xu's delivery of food to the door was a gesture of friendship. If they gave a big red envelope, Li Xu might misunderstand and think that they did not want to accept this gesture of friendship, so he changed his mind.

At this point, Li Xu naturally couldn't refuse, so he joked, "Grandpa Liu, if you had given me the big red envelope earlier, I would have been so happy that I definitely wouldn't have thought about it."

As soon as these words came out, the three members of the Liu family burst into laughter. Old Master Liu even said, "Good boy, just for what you said, Grandpa Liu will give you a big red envelope every year from now on."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Li Xu quickly said, "That won't work. One is enough."

Mr. Liu didn't respond, but asked about his recent situation.

Li Xu responded one by one.

After a while, seeing that they hadn't gotten to the point yet, Liu Gang couldn't wait any longer and asked, "Xiao Xu, what did you mean by coming here to give credit?"

"I received a report that a group of people are colluding to embezzle money, but there's a problem that needs Uncle Liu's help to solve."

"Collaborative corruption?" Liu Gang's eyes suddenly widened. "Is this true?"

Mr. Liu and Liu Wen both stared at Li Xu's face, hoping to get a positive answer from him.

Li Xu did not disappoint them and said directly, "Really."

Hearing this, the Liu family members looked at each other, and even their breathing became heavy. Liu Wen was no longer as calm as usual, but showed an anxious expression, "Xiao Xu, tell me, as long as it is possible, Uncle Liu will help you solve it."

Then Li Xu told the details.

When he finished speaking, while Liu Wen was still lost in thought, Old Man Liu agreed immediately, "No problem, we'll help you with this. Xiaoxu, go back and tell your friend, it will take at most three months, and then he can go back to his original unit to work."

Li Xu was overjoyed to receive his promise. "Thank you very much, Grandpa Liu."

"You don't need to thank us. If anyone should thank you, we should thank you." Old Master Liu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Besides, this matter is not that difficult. The street office is different from other units. Many people here are family members of leaders. It's unrealistic to say that they will all be killed with one blow."

The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Some leaders are not greedy, but that doesn't mean their families are not greedy either. If these people are brought to justice, those leaders will most likely hate the Liu family.

There is no way around it. This is corruption and you will go to jail.

As for paying it off, it was easy to excuse him since he didn't take the money after all. In addition, he had the merit of reporting it, so the most he would do was lose his job.

Liu Wen, however, heard something unusual in the old man's words, so he asked hesitantly, "Dad, you don't plan to charge those people with corruption?"

"With so many people involved, how can we make a decision? We can't just focus on immediate benefits; we have to consider the consequences. Do you understand?"

Old Master Liu knew very well that if these people were convicted of corruption, regardless of what the city would think, even in the county there would be many people who would wish the Liu family dead.

What’s more important is that he has offended so many people. Even if Liu Wen becomes the top leader of the county in the future, it will be extremely difficult for him to carry out his work.

After receiving the reminder, Liu Wen reacted instantly and said repeatedly, "Dad is right to remind me, I was wrong."

He was just blinded by his achievements, and when he came to his senses, he felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat.

Mr. Liu nodded and continued chatting with Li Xu.

Li Xu drank water while talking, and only said goodbye after he finished the water in the cup.

The three members of the Liu family tried to persuade him to stay, but seeing that he still insisted, they had no choice but to send him out of the hospital.

When they learned that the matter had been settled, everyone in the Fu family was ecstatic and thanked him repeatedly.

Li Xu smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, just pay it back and go to the company tomorrow to help me find a yard. My relative wants to rent it."

According to the date, his aunt Sun Min and her family will be arriving soon, so he needs to find a house for them in advance so they can move in directly.

"No problem." Fu Qing patted his chest and assured confidently, "Tell me what you want from a house, and I promise to get it done for you."

Li Xu stated his request and then warned, "If nothing unexpected happens, we'll take action against your company within two days. Be careful and don't let anything slip. Especially after hearing that you're being laid off, you must act very sad. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely act even sadder than when my grandfather passed away."

Everyone in the room: ...

After a moment's silence, Li Xu said no more and left.

The next morning, Fu Qing found a house according to Li Xu's request, and in the afternoon someone went to the street office to investigate the corruption.

That night, Li Xu, who visited the Liu family to pay New Year's greetings, not only received a big red envelope, but also a letter of introduction.

With this letter of introduction, one can work in the street office and be quickly converted to a permanent position.

This was a gift from leaders whose relatives were involved in corruption to thank the Liu family. Li Xu didn't hesitate and accepted it directly.

After dinner, Li Xu returned home and told his family about this. After discussion, everyone decided that Li Ping would take over this job, and Li Ping's original job would be replaced by Sun Min's husband Tang Yuan.

...

Two days later, Sun Min and his family finally finished their affairs in the countryside and came to the county town with their family.

Since Li Xu had arranged the house in advance and told his family about it, Li Mei took them directly to the street office to find Fu Qing to handle the rental procedures.

That’s right, Fu Qing is still at work.

There is no other way. If most of the staff of the street office are laid off now, then the unit will not be able to operate normally. Therefore, except for a few leaders who are found to be corrupt, others will have to stay in their positions for a while.
