Of course, Hou Peng should be dealt with as well. We can't let him run wild like this. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll dare to take advantage of us. What's that saying again?
"Treat comrades with the warmth of spring, approach work with the passion of summer, sweep away individualism like autumn leaves, and be as ruthless as winter towards enemies."
Since Hou Peng has sided with Zhengda Company, he is no longer a comrade.
Li Xiuyuan was thinking to himself that he had originally planned to go out for a walk by himself, but seeing that Su Ziying's room light was still on, he sent Su Ziying a message and asked her to go for a walk together.
He stayed in Meilin Village to increase the time the two of them could spend together, so of course he couldn't keep ignoring Su Ziying.
Five minutes later, Su Ziying came out of the room and walked casually along the country road with Li Xiuyuan out of the village committee compound.
Su Ziying could tell that Li Xiuyuan was in a good mood tonight, and the atmosphere between the two of them was also very good. It was almost ten o'clock, and apart from the occasional bark of a dog, the village was quiet.
The two chatted casually for about half an hour before returning from outside.
When Li Xiuyuan returned to his office, Ma Tao had already written more than two pages, roughly explaining the matter. In fact, it was just the content of the whistleblower's letter, and Li Xiuyuan didn't really want to know the facts.
Instead, they wanted the handwritten self-criticism, or confession, that Ma Tao had left behind.
After looking at it, Li Xiuyuan nodded in satisfaction and put it in the drawer.
"Alright, it's getting late. Go back early. Don't tell Secretary Zhang about this. I'll keep it a secret for you, and no one else will mention it," Li Xiuyuan instructed Ma Tao.
Ma Tao nodded repeatedly, and before leaving, he bowed to Li Xiuyuan again to express his gratitude. Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone about this. It was late at night, and a young man of the same rank had come to his office, kneeling down and begging for mercy while crying, and even handing over such materials. He had no way out. If word got out, it would only damage his reputation. Why would he tell anyone?
After seeing Ma Tao off, Li Xiuyuan also rested. As for handing the material over to Yun Yanchang, that was nonsense; it was just a way to appease Ma Tao.
What would be the point of handing this over to Yun Yanchang? Wouldn't that put the leadership in a difficult position? If the leadership knew that there was a discipline committee member like Ma Tao in the central town who couldn't even keep his own conduct in order, would Yun Yanchang deal with Ma Tao or not?
Isn't this putting the leader in a difficult position?
It's not that Yun Yanchang couldn't help suppress the matter and let it end there, but Ma Tao's rank wasn't high enough. If Ma Tao were the county discipline inspection commission secretary, or even just the deputy secretary, and were of value to Yun Yanchang, then Yun Yanchang would help suppress the matter, because it would be worthwhile.
Is Ma Tao worth that much?
Just help suppress it yourself. It's an old story, and no one will bring it up. Even if someone does, you can smooth things over later. Ma Tao was just scared by his own series of actions. If Ma Tao had more time to think, he might not have been so scared.
Of course, there was another reason: everyone knew that Yun Yanchang was backing him, and Ma Tao didn't dare to gamble. If it were any other deputy section chief, even if he had a letter of complaint, Ma Tao wouldn't be afraid.
