"Deputy Director Liu, let's stop discussing this today. I'll think about it and give you a reply tomorrow." Zhao Jie did not express his opinion immediately, but postponed the matter for a day.
Liu Li sneered softly and said, "Director Zhao, you can see that this is what everyone wants, and I didn't force you...Okay, I'll come to see you tomorrow, and I hope you can give me a positive answer then."
After saying that, Liu Li didn't care how ugly Zhao Jie's face was, she turned around and pushed the door open and walked out.
Hu Xiaoxing asked Zhao Jie with a serious face, "Director Zhao, I think Liu Li is using the excuse of distributing benefits to protest today. Is she bullying us because we are new here and don't have a strong mass base? She wants to embarrass us? This old woman... is so fucking shameless!"
He could only curse a few times. If you asked him to do it in front of Liu Li, he probably wouldn't dare to say a word. He had heard from his father Hu Zhiquan that Liu Li was very sociable and had won over several deputy county leaders, so she had the confidence to be so arrogant.
Zhao Jie smiled bitterly and said, "It's embarrassing... It's embarrassing for County Magistrate Li Lin! I can't swallow this..."
Hu Xiaoxing asked curiously, "Then Director Zhao, what are you going to do? Stand up to this pressure and fight her to the end? Or...?"
Zhao Jie sighed and said, "Liu Li is an elder in the county. Her relatives are basically all cadres of various county-level units. She has some background. Otherwise, how dare she make trouble with me like this? If I break up with her, it will not benefit me in the future. I think I should ask for help from County Magistrate Li Lin."
You are the head of your unit, and you can't even control your subordinates. How dare you ask County Magistrate Li Lin for help? What are you thinking?
Hu Xiaoxing was very surprised. It was obvious that if he went to see Li Lin now, he would be scolded. Could it be that Zhao Jie really had no other solution? Was this all he could do?
"Come on, come with me to the county government."
As he spoke, Zhao Jie stood up and walked to the mirror to fix his hair, adjusted his mindset, called Hu Xiaoxing and prepared to go to the county government.
Arrived at the door of Li Lin’s office.
Zhao Jie and Hu Xiaoxing found that there were several heads of other units standing in the corridor. They were carrying briefcases and looked hurried, and it seemed that they were waiting to report their work to Li Lin.
Seeing this, Zhao Jie couldn't help but sigh and said with shame, "What's the big deal? County Magistrate Li Lin is so busy, and we two came to disturb him for such a small matter. I'm so fucking incompetent! It's so embarrassing!"
Hu Xiaoxing smiled but said nothing, his expression slightly stiff. He thought, you are the boss, I assist you, it was you who suggested to ask County Magistrate Li Lin for help... How come we have to deal with this kind of trouble? I don't want to be scolded by County Magistrate Li Lin!
The two of them stood obediently in the corridor, not daring to cut in line with Zhang Yupei...
Zhang Yupei took the initiative to come over to Zhao Jie and the others and said, "If there is something urgent, you two can go in first?"
Zhao Jie smiled awkwardly and waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay, no rush, the two of us can just wait outside... hehe..."
Zhang Yupei knew from their expressions that they must have encountered some trouble, so he didn't say much and took them to the government office to wait while drinking tea.
More than an hour later, it was finally their turn to report.
Zhao Jie stood up and glanced at Hu Xiaoxing nervously, as if to say, let's go, you will have to endure this scolding sooner or later...
Hu Xiaoxing smiled, cursing in his heart, "Why are you looking at me? Do you really want me to go in with you? I am your driver today..."
"Xiaoxing, let's go. Let's go meet County Magistrate Li Lin together." Zhao Jie said in a flat tone, but there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"Isn't it...inappropriate?" Hu Xiaoxing smiled awkwardly and wanted to refuse.
"It's not like you haven't been here before, and County Magistrate Li Lin has a good impression of you. Let's go. I'll feel more at ease if we go together."
Zhao Jie directly grabbed Hu Xiaoxing's arm, regardless of whether he was willing or not, and pulled him towards Li Lin's office.
Hu Xiaoxing had no choice but to gently push away Zhao Jie's hand and said, "Okay, I'll go in with you..."
Zhang Yupei was watching the two of them and was puzzled. He had never seen them being so humble to each other before. Why were they suddenly so friendly and respectful today? When did their relationship become so good? Strange!
Li Lin took a break from his busy work, stood up and stretched. Before he had time to drink a sip of tea, Zhao Jie and Hu Xiaoxing knocked on the door and walked in one after another.
When Li Lin saw Zhao Jie holding Hu Xiaoxing's arm tightly, afraid that he would run away, he wondered, when did these two people become so close that they even hold hands?
He smiled, and while moving his shoulders, he said to the two men, "You two, the top leaders, came to see me at the same time. Are you here to tell me good news? Has the discipline in the approval hall improved?"
Bang, close the door.
Zhao Jie and Hu Xiaoxing stood side by side in front of Li Lin's desk, like children who had done something wrong, with their heads down and no words, looking as if they were ready to accept the punishment.
As soon as Li Lin saw their performance, he knew that they were up to no good.
He shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said, "Tell me, what happened again?"
After a moment of silence, Zhao Jie mustered up the courage to look up at Li Lin and said carefully, "County Magistrate Li... We have failed your expectations. Half a month after taking office, the discipline problems in the approval hall have not been effectively improved. Today, the two of us are here to admit our mistakes..."
The two of us again?
Hu Xiaoxing turned his head slightly, glanced at Zhao Jie, and moved his lips slightly, as if complaining, "You are the one who issued the military order to County Magistrate Li Lin, why did you drag me into it? I didn't make any promises to County Magistrate Li Lin... There is no benefit in joining forces with you, it's so damn unlucky!"
