After Liu Minfu left, Liu Haimin asked worriedly, "Xiao Yuan, what did the deputy mayor want to see you about?"
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "Dad, I don't know either."
The deputy mayor's sudden visit to Liu Xiaoyuan made Liu Haimin and his wife a little uneasy.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan, not wanting his parents to overthink things, told them that he had saved Lin Dayou. However, Liu Xiaoyuan told a small lie, saying that he had saved Lin Dayou by pinching his philtrum, and that Lin Dayou had given him one million yuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan underestimated the amount by ten times because he was afraid his parents' hearts couldn't handle it.
You have to understand that when Liu Xiaoyuan saw the huge sum of ten million, his heart almost stopped. You can imagine how his elderly parents felt.
The amount of one million almost made my parents' hearts break.
Liu Xiaoyuan told his parents that they shouldn't work so hard anymore, and that they could stop farming. But his father said, "It's a waste to leave the land barren. Besides, farming can be good exercise. It's not good for your health to just stay home and play all day."
Liu Xiaoyuan followed his parents' wishes. Since he would be staying at home from now on, he could keep an eye on his parents and make sure they didn't overwork themselves.
Early the next morning, Liu Minfu drove his car to Liu Xiaoyuan's house.
Liu Xiaoyuan originally wanted to ride his own power-up motorcycle, but Liu Minfu said, "Why ride a motorcycle?" and pulled Liu Xiaoyuan onto the motorcycle.
Liu Minfu's car is a Toyota sedan, costing around 100,000 yuan, which is more than enough for family use.
Sitting in Liu Minfu's car, Liu Xiaoyuan found that the car was much more comfortable than the motorcycle.
Liu Xiaoyuan wondered if he should buy a car for transportation, since it would be more convenient to take his parents out in windy or rainy weather.
With that in mind, Liu Xiaoyuan decided to find some time to buy a car. After all, he got his driver's license when he was in college. He and a few classmates signed up together through a group purchase, which gave them a big discount on tuition.
Upon arriving at the town government building, led by Liu Minfu, we went to the deputy mayor's office, only to find the door tightly closed, as it was not yet time for work.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Liu Minfu stood at the door like fools, waiting until nine o'clock before the so-called deputy mayor finally arrived.
"Deputy Mayor, this is Liu Xiaoyuan, the man you're looking for. I've brought him here." Upon seeing the deputy mayor, Liu Minfu immediately went up to him with a fawning smile.
The deputy mayor was named Chen Youcai. He was a man in his thirties, tall and thin, with a serious and unsmiling demeanor.
Chen Youcai glanced at Liu Minfu and said, "You can go back now!"
Liu Minfu had intended to flatter Chen Youcai a bit more, but what he received in return left him stunned. However, he couldn't ignore Chen Youcai's words, so he could only return home looking dejected.
After following Chen Youcai into the office, Chen Youcai asked Liu Xiaoyuan to sit down and then got straight to the point: "Liu Xiaoyuan, I called you here today because there's something I want to tell you."
"Deputy Mayor, please speak." Liu Xiaoyuan was also eager to know why Chen Youcai had summoned him today.
Chen Youcai got up, took his laptop from his desk, opened it, logged into the Rednet forum, and found a post.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, did you post this?" Chen Youcai asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan saw the post he had published on the Rednet forum, nodded, and said, "I posted it."
A real man should be brave enough to take responsibility for his actions! Besides, anyone who isn't a fool knows that this post was made by Liu Xiaoyuan, the person involved. Because when he posted this, Liu Xiaoyuan was speaking as if he were the person involved.
When Chen Youcai saw that Liu Xiaoyuan had admitted it, a smile immediately appeared on his usually stern face. He said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, you see, Secretary Zhang isn't interfering with Liu Jun's matter anymore. Do you think you can delete this post, or write another post to explain the subsequent facts?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately understood why Chen Youcai had summoned him.
Zhang Xiaoju's cousin, Zhang Qiang, under pressure, stopped interfering in Liu Jun's affairs. However, Liu Xiaoyuan's post remained a hot topic, which was very disadvantageous for Zhang Qiang.
In officialdom, reputation is the most important thing. If your reputation is ruined, it will be extremely difficult to get promoted in your career unless you have connections in high places!
Therefore, Zhang Qiang used his connections to call Chen Youcai and ask him to act as an intermediary to bring Liu Xiaoyuan over and have him delete the posts or write follow-up reports. The purpose was to let everyone know that Zhang Qiang was a good secretary who did not favor his relatives.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Chen Youcai and said, "Deputy Mayor, I can't possibly delete this post. But I can write a follow-up."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Chen Youcai thought that Liu Xiaoyuan had been persuaded by him, and immediately said, "Okay, then hurry up and write the follow-up report."
"But I still have to tell you the truth," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Chen Youcai nodded and said, "It's alright, just tell the truth!"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Deputy Mayor, then I'll write that Zhang Qiang, the deputy county head's secretary-general, stopped intervening in this matter because of pressure from the internet, etc. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Youcai nearly vomited blood. If Liu Xiaoyuan really wrote it like that, then Zhang Qiang, the deputy county magistrate's secretary, could forget about being the deputy mayor, and he himself probably couldn't be the deputy town mayor either.
Because Chen Youcai and Zhang Qiang were in cahoots, working together in the same boat.
That's why Chen Youcai was so proactive in handling the matter after Zhang Qiang made a phone call.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, are you really confused or just pretending?" Chen Youcai was a little unhappy, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
“Deputy Mayor, I don’t understand what you mean. I’m just telling the truth. Is that wrong?” Liu Xiaoyuan just couldn’t stand Chen Youcai and Zhang Qiang’s collusion.
Damn it, this is Zhang Qiang's business, what's the meaning of you, Chen Youcai, stepping in to handle it?
Chen Youcai said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, you need to know how to be flexible, you know?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Thank you for your guidance, Deputy Mayor. If this is the kind of thing you wanted to talk to me about today, I suggest you bring the person involved to talk to me."
Although it's said that the common people can't fight against officials, Liu Xiaoyuan is no longer afraid of offending Chen Youcai because he now has the leverage. Leaving aside the invincible god-level system, just considering saving Lin Dayou, Liu Xiaoyuan is Lin Dayou's savior. From now on, when Yuanda Group invests and builds in the county, no one will take a deputy town head seriously.
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's reaction, Chen Youcai knew there was no point in continuing the conversation. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll make a call to Secretary Zhang."
Then, Chen Youcai left the office. About five minutes later, Chen Youcai returned to the office and said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "Secretary Zhang has agreed to see you. Let's go, I'll take you to see Secretary Zhang and report something to him."
