The atmosphere in the box was tense and dropped to freezing point in an instant because someone from the Discipline Inspection Commission suddenly broke into the box.
Everyone sat there with a nervous look on their faces. When the law enforcement recorder shone on their faces, they subconsciously covered their faces with their hands, as if they had really done something shameful.
"Hey! Move your hands away. Which unit are you from?" The man in white asked Zhang Mingchen with a stern face.
Zhang Mingchen covered half of his face with his hands, looked at Li Lin with a look of help and fear on his face.
He is still young and has a lot of room for improvement. He doesn't want to be punished by the organization just for coming out for a meal.
If I get punished and can’t be promoted for two or three years, I don’t know how many opportunities I will miss in the future.
Who knows, everything might be over in the next life!
"Team Leader..."
Zhang Mingchen begged.
Everyone looked at Li Lin, hoping that he could stand up and support them.
Before Li Lin could speak, the taciturn Zheng Hao suddenly stood up, faced the two discipline inspection commission cadres, and said coldly, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Wang, don't you two recognize me?"
Zheng Hao was a little annoyed. Those two young Discipline Inspection Commission cadres had clearly seen Zheng Hao a long time ago. As colleagues in the Discipline Inspection Commission, not only did they not take the initiative to greet him, but they pretended not to know him. This made Zheng Hao, who had been in the Discipline Inspection Commission for more than a decade, feel insulted.
Damn it, even if I don’t have any power, you two ordinary cadres dare to look down on me?
Zheng Hao cursed inwardly in anger.
When the two Discipline Inspection Commission officials heard Zheng Hao's question, their faces darkened, then softened a little, and their tone was not as tough as before. They pretended to be confused and asked, "Oh? Deputy Director Zheng is here too?"
Then another discipline inspection cadre frowned and said to Zheng Hao, "Deputy Director Zheng, as a discipline inspection cadre, how can you break the law knowingly? Sorry... Although we are colleagues, we have to handle official business impartially!"
"What do you two mean? Why do you say we violated the organization's rules? Which organization's rules don't allow us to have dinner at our own expense? Tell me!"
Zheng Hao felt angry when he saw the two people's contemptuous attitude.
Especially the one who keeps calling you "Deputy Director Zheng"... It's almost like you're just a deputy director with no power or authority, so just sit down!
Zheng Hao felt like his heart was stabbed by a knife. He had worked diligently in the Discipline Inspection Commission for more than ten years, but in return he was treated with contempt by the younger generation!
Dare to record his video? Damn it! He really wanted to grab the wine bottle on the table and smash the two guys who looked down on others into pieces!
His hands trembled with anger, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper... It seemed that if he indulged himself even a little, the rage in his heart would burst out and burn everything.
Suddenly, he felt a big warm hand patting him on the back twice.
He turned his head and saw Li Lin's gentle eyes, wrapping him tightly.
"Director Zheng, please calm down. I think this is just a misunderstanding. As the team leader, let me solve it." Li Lin said calmly.
Zheng Hao was infected by Li Lin's determined gaze. It was this step that allowed him to retain his only dignity.
He nodded slightly, unyieldingly, and sat back in his original position.
"Comrades, I am Li Lin, the team leader of the State-owned Assets Restructuring Office. This is my work ID."
Li Lin took out the ID card he carried with him from his pocket and handed it to the two Discipline Inspection Commission cadres.
Then he took out his cell phone and looked up the payment information for buying cigarettes, alcohol, and prepaid meals.
"This is the record of our payment for the dinner at our own expense. Please take a look."
Li Lin held the phone screen upright in front of them and asked them to take a closer look.
I thought the two Discipline Inspection Commission cadres would carefully review the content, but unexpectedly, they simply ignored it.
He smiled contemptuously and said to Li Lin, "I'm sorry, we are only responsible for collecting evidence, not verifying it. Whether you are paying for it yourself or using it for public consumption, please go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to explain the situation to us! Then, someone will verify it."
It’s confirmed that these two people are here to cause trouble!
Hearing this, the polite smile on Li Lin's face gradually faded, leaving only a hint of coldness as he stared closely at the two Discipline Inspection Commission cadres in front of him.
At this time, all the team members placed their hopes on Li Lin. They looked at Li Lin with anticipation, hoping that he would solve this problem as soon as possible.
Li Lin took back his phone, calmly found Qian Lingyun's phone number, and sent him a text message, "Mayor Qian, comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission suddenly came to the hotel to check on us and falsely accused us of eating and drinking with public funds..."
He turned around and asked Zheng Hao, "Director Zheng, these two comrades are your colleagues. You should know their names, right?"
Zheng Hao nodded angrily, "The one on the left is Liu Yuan, and the one on the right is Wang Xiaohuan."
Li Lin nodded and wrote it down, then sent a text message to Qian Lingyun, "These two comrades from the Commission for Discipline Inspection are named Liu Yuan and Wang Xiaohuan. I suspect they were instructed by someone to deliberately frame us!"
After sending the text message, Li Lin put his phone on the dining table and looked up at Liu and Wang.
"I'll give you a chance. Leave here now and I'll pretend nothing happened." Li Lin said with a cold look.
Liu and Wang looked at each other and smiled, not taking Li Lin's warning seriously at all.
Liu Yuan continued to hold the recorder, approached Li Lin's face with a somewhat insulting tone, and said disdainfully, "Team Leader Li, say the words you just threatened us again in front of the recorder!"
Wang Xiaohuan also laughed. He felt that Li Lin was a little ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. He even dared to threaten the members of their Discipline Inspection Commission. He was really courting his own death!
"Team Leader Li, right? I'll give you one chance. If you take the initiative to admit that you ate and drank at public expense now, it will be considered as your confession. I will deal with you with less leniency. If you insist on not admitting it, don't blame me for reporting you to the leaders and forcing you to be taken away for investigation!"
