Lu Qingyang walked to his father's side, picked up the teapot on the stone table and filled his father's cup with water. He calmly explained the whole story:
"Dad, it's not a big deal. There's a guy named Zhang Jianjun in our department. He made a mistake at work and I pointed it out to him in public. I guess he holds a grudge against me and hired someone to punish me."
There was no exaggeration, only the facts were stated, but it was enough for Fang Zhongwen to understand the filthiness of the matter.
"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the door of the main room.
At some point, Mr. Fang stood there with a cane.
Obviously, he heard every word of the conversation between his father and his wife.
"What a courage!"
Master Fang slammed his cane heavily, and the bluestone ground made a dull sound. "My grandson, what kind of shitty background do you need to steal credit? To bully others? It's a joke!"
The master's chest heaved, obviously he was really angry.
As a soldier, he hated this kind of behavior of stabbing in the back and confusing right and wrong the most.
"Grandpa, don't be angry. It's not worth it for such a person." Lu Qingyang hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man and advised him in a gentle voice.
Master Fang glared at his grandson, then looked at his son, "I'm not angry? Zhongwen! Listen to this! A clerk dared to reach out so far and falsely accuse me, grandson! He even reported it to the Commission for Discipline Inspection? What does he want to do? Does he really think that there is no one left in our Lu family? Or does he think Qingyang is young and easy to bully?!"
Fang Zhongwen's eyes also turned cold.
He is usually low-key and steady, but when his son is framed like this, how can his protectiveness and family dignity be challenged?
"Dad, please don't worry. Qingyang handled this matter very calmly, but since the other party dared to do it, he must bear the consequences."
Master Fang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, but his eyes were still cold: "Qingyang, what are you going to do?"
"He can report me, and I can report him. I have all the materials ready."
"Not enough!" Master Fang said decisively, knocking the ground with his cane again.
"We must follow the procedures! But some people won't learn their lesson unless they are severely punished! Zhongwen, you should call him in person and tell him everything! Just say, I want to ask, do some cadres now think that the party discipline and national laws are just for show? Can we allow them to frame us and destroy unity for their own benefit?"
Fang Zhongwen nodded immediately: "Dad, I understand. I'll go get it right away."
He knew that the master wanted to use his body to show the Lu family's attitude - this matter would never be let go!
Although the old man has been retired for many years, once he makes a statement, his influence is enough to shake the relevant systems in the entire village.
A few days later, in the meeting room of the Materials Bureau.
An internal review meeting on Zhang Jianjun's political issues is being held.
Lu Qingyang attended the meeting as one of the parties involved.
The evidence he submitted was clear and conclusive: the original vulnerability files of the projects Zhang Jianjun was responsible for, the testimonies of several colleagues about his work mistakes and subsequent shirking of responsibility, and even clues to several questionable accounts in projects he had handled in the past.
Compared with these hard evidences, the letter of false accusation seems pale and weak, full of loopholes, and filled with subjective assumptions and malicious frame-ups.
The director who presided over the meeting had a serious expression on his face. After listening to the report and evidence, he said in a deep voice: "The facts are clear, the evidence is irrefutable, Zhang Jianjun was seriously derelict in his duty, and did not repent afterwards. Instead, he fabricated facts and falsely accused and framed you. The nature of this is extremely bad, and he seriously violated organizational discipline and work discipline! The Party Committee of the Bureau has decided to expel Zhang Jianjun from his public office, and recommend that the Discipline Inspection Commission further review other possible problems he may have!"
Zhang Jianjun looked ashen, slumped in his chair. His last lifeline, his cousin Qian Youlu, was in danger himself.
At the same time, in the office of Qian Youlu of the Light Industry Bureau.
Deputy Director Qian was in a state of dismay.
There was no movement from the acquaintance in the Discipline Inspection Group he entrusted, and there was no response from the Material Bureau either. This abnormal calm made him smell danger.
Just then, the party secretary of the bureau personally called him over.
The secretary's face was uglier than ever before, and he slapped a formal letter with the red seal of the Party Committee of the Material Bureau in front of him:
"Qian Youlu, Zhi! Take a look for yourself! The Material Bureau sent a letter questioning you for using your personal connections to bypass organizational procedures and pass on false reporting information to the deputy section chief of his unit, Zhi Lu Qingyang, seriously interfering with the normal work of a brother unit! We are asking our bureau to give an explanation and handling opinions on this matter!"
Qian Youlu's head buzzed and his hands began to tremble.
He picked up the letter, which was written in harsh terms and directly pointed out that he had violated organizational principles.
What frightened him even more was that the secretary lowered his voice:
"Old Qian, Old Qian! You've blown the lid off! Do you know who that Lu Qingyang is?! He's Fang Henian's grandson! Fang Zhongwen's son! Party Secretary Wang personally called to inquire about it! Old Fang is very angry! Very angry!"
"Mr. Fang?" Qian Youlu felt dizzy and everything went black in front of his eyes.
Of course he knew who "Mr. Fang" was referring to!
That is an old revolutionary who is highly respected!
Compared with others, Qian Youlu is not even as good as an ant!
He originally thought that Lu Qingyang just had a little background, but he never imagined that his background was so strong.
How could he instruct his nephew to falsely accuse the grandson of such a person? Isn't this courting death?
"You...you are suspended from your post immediately! Reflect deeply! Write a self-criticism! Wait for organizational processing!" The secretary's voice was cold, sentencing him to political death.
When Zhang Jianjun was taken away by the security personnel in a daze, there was dead silence in the department.
Everyone looked at Lu Qingyang, who was still sitting calmly in his seat, with complicated eyes.
This young deputy section chief usually keeps a low profile and was even mistaken by Zhang Jianjun as being "easy to bully."
Who would have thought that his background was so unfathomable? What's more rare is that he could have revealed his identity and crushed Zhang Jianjun from the beginning, but he chose to follow the rules and speak with facts.
It was not until the other party touched the bottom line that a counterattack was launched.
Lu Qingyang picked up a document, as if nothing had happened, but everyone in the section knew clearly: after this incident, this Deputy Section Chief Lu would become a person that no one would dare to provoke easily in the Material Bureau and even in the relevant system of the entire section.
Zhao Weiguo originally thought that he just had some connections, but who knew he had such a background.
At present, he only knew that Lu Qingyang had some background and was parachuted in. The bureau leaders seemed to take special care of him, but he just thought that he was a relative of some unimportant position in the province or the ministry, and came here to gild his reputation.
Based on the principle of not offending others and doing things according to the rules, he recognized Lu Qingyang's work ability and gave him corresponding support, but that was all.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Qingyang condescended to run to their Material Bureau and serve as a small deputy section chief of the Comprehensive Planning Section. It was simply... too unfair to him!
He was obviously here to train at the grassroots level, and he was glad that he had always been pragmatic and had not done anything that was against the rules.
Lu Qingyang didn't want people to know his true identity so soon.
But I'm afraid Zhao Weiguo has already known the news.
On this day's shift, everyone packed up and left.
Seeing that Zhao Weiguo was also preparing to leave with official documents, Lu Qingyang took a few quick steps and stopped him in the corridor.
"Chief Zhao, wait a minute."
Zhao Weiguo paused and his head jumped suddenly.
It’s here! The most anxious moment of these days has finally come.
Is he trying to hit himself?
Lu Qingyang walked beside him, smiled, and said in a relaxed and natural tone:
"It's nothing important, I just saw that you were off work, so I wanted to walk with you and chat along the way?"
