9:30 in the morning.
After breakfast, Hu Zhiquan came to the office on the fifth floor of the approval hall.
He poured himself a cup of tea, took two sips, and before he could taste the flavor, the phone rang.
He smiled when he saw the incoming call number. It was a call from a card-playing friend he often played with.
"Old Hu, what have you been busy with lately? Why don't you come out to play? Are you free today? Come out and play a few rounds?"
Hu Zhiquan hesitated for a moment, but felt that today was no different from usual, so he gradually relaxed his mind. His addiction to playing cards was also aroused, so he smiled and agreed, "Okay, let's still play at the same place, right? I'll go over now. You guys should prepare enough money. I've been holding back for a few days, and I'm going to win big today, hahaha..."
A fellow poker player joked, "There's plenty of money, how much you can win depends on your ability, stop talking nonsense and come here quickly, the earlier you start the game, the earlier you finish, so you don't miss drinking at noon and taking a bath at night..."
“Okay, okay…”
Hu Zhiquan hung up the phone with a smile.
I felt a little excited when I thought about being able to touch the mahjong tiles soon.
After locking the office door, he found his deputy director and told him, "I have to go out for something. You guys stay at your posts and call me if you have any questions... If you are checked, just say I went to the hospital for a physical examination."
When the deputy director heard Hu Zhiquan say this, he naturally knew that he was going out to play cards, so he patted his chest and assured him with a smile, "Don't worry, Director, you can go ahead and do your work. We will keep watch over you, hehe..."
Hu Zhiquan smiled at him with satisfaction, then left the approval hall holding the thermos in one hand and carrying a briefcase in the other.
As soon as he left, the deputy director felt relieved. He walked into the big office with a smile and said to several colleagues who were bored and watching videos on their mobile phones, "Hey, Director Hu went out to play cards again. It seems that our good days are back. Let's go to my office, lock the door, and play a few cards to amuse ourselves."
When everyone heard that they could play cards, their eyes suddenly lit up. They stood up with a smile, swarmed into the deputy director's office, opened a box of cards, and gathered together to play "Dou Dizhu".
"The leaders have all left, what are we still doing here? Let's go, let's get off work..."
The remaining few people who didn't play cards heard that Director Hu had left, so they packed up their things without hesitation and prepared to go home after get off work...
In an instant, the approval hall management office was deserted and silent, except for the occasional "king bomb" and card smashing sounds coming from the deputy director's room...
At this time, Li Lin, who was in the county government, received a call from Zhang Yupei.
"Leader, I saw Hu Zhiquan carrying his bag and leaving the office. After he left, several staff members from the approval hall management office also left the approval hall..." Zhang Yupei stared at the entrance of the approval hall and reported to Li Lin calmly.
The reason why Li Lin did not take any action these days was because he found that Hu Zhiquan was on guard and actually changed his normal routine of going to work and leaving get off work on time.
In order to find out the situation and determine whether Hu Zhiquan was preparing for Li Lin's inspection or really strengthening the management of employees, Li Lin asked Zhang Yupei to observe quietly at the entrance of the approval hall at the time of leaving and returning get off work...
Hu Zhiquan and his team had only persisted for two days, but now they have returned to their lax state.
It seems that he did not really change his attitude, but was just nervous for two days in order to guard against Li Lin's sudden inspection.
How disappointing!
"Leader, what should we do next? Should we notify the comrades in the Discipline Inspection Commission?" Zhang Yupei asked immediately.
Li Lin nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I will notify Secretary Yang of the Discipline Inspection Commission to check the post of the Approval Hall Management Office first! Please keep an eye on Hu Zhiquan's whereabouts. I will rush over now. I want to see with my own eyes how Hu Zhiquan is as the director."
In a teahouse not far from the approval hall, Hu Zhiquan was in high spirits at the card table.
"How is it, I said I was lucky today? Hehe, I touched it again, give me money..."
The automatic mahjong table was shuffling the cards, and Hu Zhiquan reached out and took the winning chips from his fellow mahjong player.
These card-playing friends are not ordinary people either. One is the deputy director of the Education Bureau, and the other two are also deputy section-level cadres from other units.
Section-level cadres like them only play cards with people in their circle and never with people from society...
Because they are afraid that it will spread and affect their reputation.
A director or deputy director who likes to play cards will give people a feeling of being unreliable, and when the county leaders hear this, they will also look down on them.
The deputy director of the Education Bureau lost some money, sighed, and looked at Hu Zhiquan who was stacking cards across from him. He asked him, "Old Hu, you haven't seen your card skills improve in a few days! Did you go to "further study" without telling us? Tell me the truth, what tricks did you learn?"
Hu Zhiquan knew that the other party was teasing him, so he smiled and said, "What nonsense! Where can I learn card skills? It's all because of the new deputy county magistrate Li. He has been keeping a close eye on our hall these days. I was afraid that he would come to cause trouble, so I was more cautious and didn't dare to run around during working hours."
Deputy County Magistrate Li?
The three people had different expressions when they heard this, and they seemed to be searching their minds for information related to Deputy County Magistrate Li.
The deputy director of the Education Bureau smiled and said, "This deputy county magistrate Li is no ordinary person. He ruined the Lu family by himself before, and was later transferred to the city and was promoted to deputy director within a few days. He is also an outstanding youth of the province and a favorite student of Mayor Qian... Tsk tsk tsk, his background is so strong! Old Hu has been targeted by him, I think you'd better be careful, don't leave any handle in his hands..."
