"Director, I, I was wrong. It's all my fault for not educating my subordinates enough. You can punish me however you want, but I still have to explain that I really was not aware of what happened today. It was entirely the fault of Chen Liang and Zhu Minghui themselves." Guo Maoquan said tremblingly with a layer of fine sweat beads on his forehead.
"Get out of here, don't try to play that on me. If it weren't for your usual indulgence, how could they have done this? Do you know what it means when the top beam is crooked, the bottom beams will be crooked?! I won't talk to you about this useless stuff. Chen Liang and Zhu Minghui are given a serious warning within the organization, and their posts are suspended. Each of them must write a 5,000-word review! Before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I want to see Comrade Xu Jianguo appear in my office. If you can't find him, you don't have to come back!" Lu Chuan said, slamming the table.
As Lu Chuan finished speaking, Chen Liang and Zhu Minghui suddenly became as listless as eggplants hit by frost.
Guo Maoquan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was still a chance.
Then the three of them quickly left the office with Lu Chuan looking disgusted.
After leaving the office, Guo Maoquan no longer paid attention to Chen Liang and Zhu Minghui, and walked towards his office with a gloomy face.
It was just that the two of them kept following him, which made his already irritable mood even more irritable. However, because this was the workplace, he had to grit his teeth and say, "Didn't you hear what the director said? You are suspended from now on. Stop following me and get out!"
After saying that, he ignored the two of them and turned around and left.
Adding up all the things right now, nothing is more important than finding Xu Jianguo as soon as possible.
After returning to the office, Guo Maoquan did not immediately take people out to look for Xu Jianguo. Instead, he sat in his seat, lit a cigarette and slowly thought. From time to time, he would write something on a piece of paper with the pen in his hand.
In his opinion, if Xu Jianguo wanted to leave Jingzhou and return to the Dawali base, he would definitely take the train. So the first step he needed to take was to determine whether there was a train to Bingcheng this afternoon or evening.
If so, he needs to find out the departure time of the train so that he can take people to wait outside the train station.
If not, then Xu Jianguo would definitely have to choose accommodation, and the state-owned guesthouses near the train station became the best choice. He could take his men and look for them door to door.
But if neither method could find Xu Jianguo, he didn't dare to think about what would happen next.
After stubbing out the cigarette in his hand, Guo Maoquan picked up the phone on his desk and directly contacted the duty room at Jingzhou Railway Station.
"Hello!" A woman's voice came from the receiver.
"Hello, comrade. May I ask if there is a train to Ice City this afternoon or evening?" Guo Maoquan asked.
"No, there's only one train to Ice City every day, and it leaves at seven in the morning."
Guo Maoquan's face lit up with joy as he heard this, and he quickly said, "Okay, thank you!"
"You're welcome. Goodbye!"
After hanging up the phone, Guo Maoquan immediately found the two remaining young people in his department, and then hurried to the fleet.
After explaining the situation, the three of them drove a jeep out of the Health Bureau and headed towards the gate of the red-walled compound.
…
Ever since he solved the caracal problem, Xu Jianguo has been staying in the guesthouse and sleeping soundly on the bed.
He didn't know how long it had been, but when he woke up again, the sky outside the window had turned completely dark.
Xu Jianguo sat up from the bed, looked at the time on his wrist, and found that it was already past midnight.
Xu Jianguo took out the lunch box and military water bottle that Xu Xiaoshi had prepared in advance from the space, and sat directly on the chair to eat.
Today's dinner was braised pork with rice. Xu Xiaoshi also put tiger skin eggs in it. Xu Jianguo enjoyed it very much.
After dinner, Xu Jianguo put away his lunch box and kettle, picked up his keys and shoulder bag on the table, and prepared to go downstairs for a walk.
However, he never expected that just when he opened the door, there was a person outside the door who was about to knock on the door. It was Guo Maoquan who came to look for Xu Jianguo.
Behind him, there were three people, one of whom was the staff member at the front desk on the first floor of the guesthouse.
"Uh... who are you looking for?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Oh, Comrade Xu Jianguo, you really made it easy for us to find you!"
"Do you know me?" Xu Jianguo asked, pretending to be confused.
"Yes, yes, yes. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Guo Maoquan, and I'm the director of the Second Office of the Political Department of the Health Bureau. Regarding what happened today..."
Xu Jianguo waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "Come in and talk!"
"Okay, good!" Guo Maoquan was not angry because Xu Jianguo interrupted him. Instead, he said it happily, which surprised the two subordinates standing behind him.
You have to know that our director is usually a very arrogant person. He relies on the fact that he works in a red-walled courtyard and ordinary people are not even in his eyes. In addition, due to the nature of his job, he looks down on others most of the time. When did his temper become so good?
"You two wait outside and don't let anyone in!" Guo Maoquan turned and said to his two subordinates.
"Yes, Director!"
After entering the room, Xu Jianguo invited Guo Maoquan to sit down, and he sat on the bed.
"Well, um, Comrade Xu Jianguo, let me first apologize to you for what happened today. It was indeed my subordinates who neglected you. I'm sorry! I hope you can forgive our mistakes at work!" Guo Maoquan said sincerely.
But there was no expression on Xu Jianguo's face. He still looked at Guo Maoquan straight, thinking that this man was worthy of being the director of the department. He had cleared himself of all charges with just a few words.
He didn't believe that what happened today was a work mistake. Judging from the personalities of Chen Liang and Zhu Minghui, it was definitely related to their usual work style. The reason why they dared to do this was inseparable from the director in front of them.
After Guo Maoquan finished speaking, he saw that Xu Jianguo had not spoken a word, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. After all, his future depended entirely on this young man in front of him.
"I accept your apology. Is there anything else?" Xu Jianguo said expressionlessly.
That one sentence completely stumped Guo Maoquan, who wondered why this guy wasn't playing by the rules. However, he didn't dare show any dissatisfaction and continued with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes. Before I came here, our Director Lu, as well as Elder Qin and Elder Zhao, severely criticized me. Chen Liang and Zhu Minghui have also been suspended and given serious organizational disciplinary actions. Besides expressing my apologies, I also wanted to invite you to return to the Health Bureau with me. In addition, Elder Qin and Elder Zhao also asked me to bring you a message, telling you not to worry about them and to make your own decisions!"
