"What's going on?!"
County Chief Guo looked at the contents of the photo.
My head is buzzing.
The photo shows a chubby man putting money into a car.
Five whole stacks of large bills!
The man in the traffic police uniform inside the car accepted it with a smile.
There are photos from various angles.
The display is incredibly clear.
Just imagine the scene, and the answer is self-evident.
But County Chief Guo was still somewhat skeptical.
The national government has repeatedly emphasized that officials are not allowed to accept bribes.
How could they be so blatant!
This is absolutely outrageous!
Isn't this just making trouble for myself?
Wu Changfeng said expressionlessly, "I need to build a new factory and I need steel raw materials. When I tried to transport them back from elsewhere, they were intercepted."
"It's a bit of a stretch to call it overloaded. There was no weighing process; they just blocked the road and wouldn't let anyone pass."
"Other trucks can pass freely."
"I am a company under your jurisdiction. I don't know if you are dissatisfied with me or with you."
County Chief Guo glared at Wu Changfeng: "Don't make a big deal out of this. It's because I'm dissatisfied with you."
County Chief Guo would never guess that it was due to dissatisfaction with him.
If that's the case, and it's directed at me, should I purge the dissidents from my team?
How much should be removed?
These are all very difficult things to handle.
Therefore, County Chief Guo directly pinned the blame on Wu Changfeng.
Don't drag me into this.
That's not how you lead a team.
Disagreements over political views are acceptable, but when it comes to purging the ranks, one should never resort to force unless absolutely necessary.
That would be a major upheaval in officialdom.
Wu Changfeng also understood what County Chief Guo was thinking.
He had no choice but to take the blame, saying, "Then it must be that I offended someone."
"What do you think!" County Chief Guo retorted. "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what's the deal with this photo?"
Wu Changfeng said, "I just couldn't stand it and wanted to help County Chief Guo rectify the atmosphere."
Fishing?
“No, no.” Wu Changfeng quickly denied it: “We have intervened and requested permission several times, but they just won’t let us go. How can a small and weak company like ours compete with the traffic police?”
"The construction schedule here is extremely tight, isn't this a matter of life and death?"
"I thought I could solve it myself, so I did."
"That's why we gradually increased the price until they were satisfied."
“I definitely need to keep some souvenirs, so that people won’t say there’s something wrong with our trucks later.”
County Chief Guo stroked his chin: "Did the traffic police issue a receipt?"
“If it’s open, I won’t take any photos,” Wu Changfeng replied.
“Next time something like this happens, just come to me and I’ll take care of it for you,” County Chief Guo said earnestly.
Wu Changfeng thought to himself: Maybe you won't work either!
Mayor Cui should be able to handle it; the higher-ups are definitely more effective.
But it's not worth bothering such a big leader with such a small matter.
This is purely a waste of one's good character.
Wu Changfeng suddenly wondered if Lu Xingtao was deliberately trying to make him lose his good karma.
In the future, all kinds of leaders will feel annoyed whenever they see me.
If something else goes wrong, will there be no one to back you up?
The credit union was one instance where Mayor Cui stood by.
This time, County Chief Guo is the one who's making the appearance.
Good heavens, Lu Xingtao, how many obedient subordinates do you have at your beck and call?
You're killing a thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of your own!
This guy's thinking isn't simple either.
Wu Changfeng thought for a moment and decided to just deal with whatever came his way.
Just take them down one by one!
County Chief Guo then summoned the disciplinary committee members, threw the photos at them, and said, "The facts are irrefutable. You can decide what to do."
The disciplinary committee members took a look.
Wow!
Good heavens!
Just a few days ago, a major case involving a credit union occurred in Jiangcheng.
Now another minor case has occurred in Chishui County. Why can't you control yourselves?
The credit union president hasn't been sentenced yet, so we need to add another one.
Alright.
Let's take action and get Captain Wang under control first.
The disciplinary committee members went directly to the traffic police team.
Knock on the director's door.
Both sides were quite polite and exchanged pleasantries for a while.
After all, it was aimed at the subordinates, not the bureau chief.
We can't just slap them in the face right away; we need to take a step back and calm things down.
Peng Jiwei asked, "Don't you have a Captain Wang here?"
Director Wu said, "Yes, what's the matter?"
Where are the others?
"Let me check the worksheet."
Director Wu glanced at the work schedule and said, "He's leading a team out on a work trip today."
"Can you get in touch with someone?"
Director Wu asked with a hint, "What exactly is it? Could you give me a heads-up so I can be prepared?"
Damn it, the disciplinary committee people suddenly came to my place.
Director Wu was also very flustered.
Despite his own incorruptibility, he couldn't stop the people under him from acting recklessly.
Sometimes management may be lax or there may be oversights.
If something happens to your subordinates, you will also be implicated.
This is clearly aimed at Captain Wang.
People from the Discipline Inspection Commission generally don't loiter around.
There's no need to cultivate relationships with other organizations.
If something happens, it's a big deal!
Peng, the Discipline Inspection Commission member, stated bluntly, "We suspect that Captain Wang has accepted bribes. Of course, further investigation is needed, and we hope Director Wu will cooperate."
Director Wu nodded: "Of course we'll cooperate. We can't tolerate pests! It was my negligence. I'll have someone bring Captain Wang back right away."
Director Wu immediately sent someone out to find Captain Wang.
Director Wu and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Peng set aside their official positions and talked privately: "Old Peng, what's the big deal? If it's just a routine check for overloaded vehicles, fines are normal."
