The intention of this action was obvious. In an instant, the air in the originally solemn and serious large office seemed to suddenly become sticky, and an indescribable ambiguity spread.
When I returned to my seat, I saw that the traces of tears were still on her face, but there was no grievance in her eyes. Instead, there was a kind of teasing with a little bit of ridicule, which showed that she was well aware of the common tricks used by men. Her eyes fell on me meaningfully.
A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth at the right time, almost uncontrollably - that smile was twisted by desire and revealed naked aggression.
My hand is like a devout tourist, trekking through the scenery under her skirt...
Even though the air-conditioning in the office was turned up high, it still felt warm and humid.
A blush instantly permeated her cheeks, and an indistinct, trembling mutter just escaped from her slightly parted lips - "Ding-ling-ling!" - a sharp and rapid telephone ring suddenly tore through the silence in the room!
The sudden ringing of the bell was like a cold shower! My body and hers froze at the same time, and all the movements, sounds, and surging passion froze at this moment.
She and I both calmed down. She shrank back as if she had received an electric shock, pointed in the direction of my desk, her eyes urging and a hint of barely perceptible panic, as if to say, "Get rid of your phone! Why are you looking at me?"
I woke up from my dream, feeling a little annoyed at being interrupted, and paced back to my desk. I picked up my phone and saw the name on the screen - Xu He!
A surge of anger rushed straight to my head! I almost gritted my teeth and pressed the answer button. Before I could say anything, his usual nonchalant tone came through the receiver: "Hey, brother-in-law, I haven't called you for a while."
I suppressed the surging anger and the deep disgust in my heart, and said in a voice as cold as ice: "If you have something to say, please say it. If not, hang up. I'm busy."
"Okay, okay, okay," he drawled, "I'll make it short. Can you give me my sister's Audi? I don't work in the county anymore, so I can drive it out for a spin when I have nothing to do."
"The car has been sold a long time ago!" I shouted, firmly blocking his thoughts, "You are too late!" Before I finished speaking, I pressed the hang-up button without hesitation! The action was as fast as avoiding the plague, as if a second later, disgusting maggots would crawl over along the signal!
Just as I slammed my phone on the table in anger, Lu Yuting had quietly walked beside me. She seemed to have changed the channel in an instant, and the charm and tears just now disappeared. She asked in an unusually calm voice: "County Guan, please tell me what I should do next?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the forms.
Seeing her putting on a completely businesslike face, I also calmed down and ordered calmly: "You go back to the bureau immediately, organize capable people immediately, check this list, and interview all the heads of the Party B units listed on it! Order them to make corrections within a time limit! Otherwise, we will directly initiate legal procedures and hold them accountable for their legal responsibilities!"
Her eyes flashed, and she nodded in understanding: "I understand. I'll go back and make arrangements."
After that, she gently placed the form on my desk. In this seemingly ordinary action, the calm mask she had been deliberately maintaining slipped quietly, and her eyes suddenly rippled like a pool of spring water, her eyes moved, silently conveying some tacit message.
Then, she turned around neatly. She put her hand on the door lock and opened it with a light "click". Just as she pushed the door open, she suddenly looked back, her eyes lingered on my face for a moment, and there was clearly a hint of reluctance in her eyes, and then she left quietly.
I had no time to interpret the ambiguous signals she was sending. Two urgent matters were imminent:
First of all, we must move the Audi immediately! Otherwise, once Xu He, that scoundrel, finds out, he will definitely pester us. It is safest to let Xiang Qian handle this matter.
Second, I must find a way to get Lu Yuting out of this matter safely, and at the same time reserve a way out for myself! The mess of water conservancy and agricultural engineering is not trivial. I must report this to Tong Yazhou immediately and pave the way in advance to be invincible.
I immediately called Xiang Qian to my office, handed him the car keys, and said in a low voice: "Go to the community garage immediately, find the Audi, and move it to my special parking space. Move quickly and don't draw attention to yourself."
After dealing with the car issue, the next thing to do is to deal with the main event. I know that going to Tong Yazhou with just a few forms to make an impassioned speech and criticize the current situation is tantamount to giving him a handle. Without any evidence, he might turn the tables and say, "I reminded you to pay attention a long time ago, but you turned a deaf ear to it and caused the bad consequences."
The most reliable approach is to "leave footprints on stones and marks on iron" - make the marks real! I called Hu Jia and gave him clear instructions: "Draft a report immediately. The core content is: The Finance Bureau has recently conducted self-examination and self-correction work and found that there are serious problems with the farmland water conservancy projects in the county - financial funds have been fully allocated, but there are major hidden dangers in the relevant projects, and some have not been accepted or have been left unfinished for a long time. The report should be written in the name of the Finance Bureau's official report. You are responsible for completing the records of the receipt and dispatch of documents throughout the process, and make sure there are no leaks. This statistical data is for your reference as an attachment."
As I said that, I pushed the forms in front of him and reminded him in particular: "This matter must be handled with caution, the operation must be absolutely concealed, and the procedures must be seamless. For the specific details, you can communicate directly with Director Lu of the Finance Bureau. At the end of the report, I made a clear suggestion: carry out a special inspection of related issues throughout the county."
Hu Jia's greatest strength is his high comprehension and quick understanding. He listened attentively, nodded from time to time, and his super memory allowed him to remember almost all the points without taking notes. In the eyes of mediocre people, this trait is inevitably criticized as "arrogance", "smartness", and "impetuous". But I admire it very much, because this is exactly the efficiency and efficiency that I rely on.
At this moment, he accurately grasped the key point: "County Magistrate Guan, is this document drafted in the tone of a report to County Magistrate Tong?"
I paused for a moment and made arrangements: "The document for County Chief Tong should state 'After review by Comrade Guan Hongjun, it will be forwarded to Comrade Tong Yazhou for review'. At the same time, it should be copied to all relevant leaders and member units of the county's flood control, drought relief and disaster relief work leading group in the form of a formal document to ensure that the information is synchronized and everyone knows it."
Hu Jia understood what I meant and responded promptly, "Understood!" It was obvious from his expression that he had completely understood my plan.
But he hesitated as he thought about it, and reminded cautiously: "County Magistrate Guan, sending a copy of the document before County Magistrate Tong officially approved it... this is indeed a bit unconventional. I'm worried that County Magistrate Tong will have opinions, and Director Xiao may not approve it either - after all, he is the first hurdle in the document circulation."
His words enlightened me. Hu Jia's concerns were not without reason. This practice of "acting first and reporting later" and bypassing the normal process was not only against the rules, but also more likely to give others excuses and trigger unnecessary suspicion and backlash.
I pondered for a moment and asked for his opinion: "In your opinion, is there a safer way?"
Hu Jia thought for a moment and suggested, "Perhaps we can ask the Finance Bureau to send a formal letter directly to the relevant functional departments and member units of the leadership team? This way, we can inform the situation and bypass the document approval process of the county government."
I agreed deeply and nodded in satisfaction: "This is a good idea! It's quiet, accurate in target, and the effect can be achieved. Besides, this matter is complicated and involves complicated interests. If too many people know about it, it will easily alert the enemy and increase resistance."
I leaned back deeply in the wide office chair and looked at Hu Jia with approval: "Now is not the time to lift the lid and make fundamental changes. The most urgent task is to pay enough attention to it before the main flood season arrives! Even if we only urge them to make some emergency repairs to these hidden dangers, it will be good - the safety of people's lives and property is above all else, and there is no time to waste!"
Hu Jia gave a subtle compliment at the right time: "Leader, if all the people in the county can be like you, always have awe in their hearts, and abide by their responsibilities to the people, there will be nothing that cannot be accomplished and no bottom line that cannot be maintained."
This was just the right amount of flattery, and it was indeed very comforting to hear. But I still maintained my proper reserve, pretending to be serious and waving my hand: "Don't say this kind of thing casually. The mainstream of our cadre team is good, and I believe in the party consciousness of our comrades."
