After some twists and turns, the animal head was finally brought back to Yanjing under Xu Yun's protection.
After the appraisal by the cultural relic experts, everyone could finally relax.
Regarding this matter, the director of the Cultural Relics Bureau admired Xia Qiuyu very much and sincerely requested for Xia Qiuyu to work in the Cultural Relics Bureau.
He felt that as a Hua Xia citizen who was no longer a citizen of Hua Xia, she could actually have such a profound understanding of the cultural relics of Hua Xia. It was really impressive.
Not to mention the Chinese, there were many Chinese who did not care about their own country's cultural relics and used them as tools to make money. Xia Qiuyu, as a "foreigner", was still able to not forget her roots. Naturally, she was worthy of his admiration.
However, Xia Qiuyu was not interested in the work of cultural relics. She politely rejected the invitation of the Cultural Relics Bureau. She also clearly told everyone that she did not want to find the animal head because of her love for cultural relics. To be more honest, when she first wanted to find the animal head, she did not have any patriotic feelings.
Xia Qiuyu initially wanted to fulfill her father's wish, that was all.
However, as the matter developed, Xia Qiuyu slowly had a patriotic feeling. All of this was brought to her by Xu Yun. It was a special feeling that she understood and experienced.
Xia Qiuyu, who grew up overseas, did not have much feelings for Hua Xia. However, she also did not have much feelings for the country she lived in.
She had never known what kind of feeling this so-called great feeling was, but this time, she had a deep understanding. It turned out that she still loved Huaxia. No matter what nationality she was, she was still a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and a descendant of the Dragon.
However, although Xia Qiuyu was not interested in the work of the Cultural Relics Bureau, she showed an unusually strong interest in the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
The reason did not need to be explained. Everyone knew it.
In addition to Xia Qiuyu's personal ability and advantages, the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection would definitely be done smoothly.
Xia Qiuyu was obviously touched by the anti-corruption case. She realized that the corruption problem was far worse than what it looked like on the surface.
It definitely did not only involve an official's greed for some money, but it also involved the people's interests. Take Bureau Chief Niu's case as an example. If it wasn't for Bureau Chief Niu's greed, people like Zhang Shanli wouldn't have become so arrogant.
If Zhang Shanmin had scruples, she wouldn't have done so many heinous things.
This was a chain reaction. Once the officials became greedy, they would definitely share their greed with the common people. In the end, the common people would be the ones to suffer.
The Party was the ship, the giant ship that led everyone forward. The people were the water. The water could carry the ship, but it could also set off monstrous waves! Why was the National Party chased out of the continent back then? It was all because of corruption.
In the early days of the country's founding, Hua Xia had nothing. When the National Party escaped from the mainland, they took almost everything with them. Basically, everything of value was taken away by them.
The only thing left for the people of Hua Xia is a mess.
Back then, when they escaped, they saw people carrying large boxes onto ships and planes. Many famous people were also taken away.
Gold, silver, cultural relics, scholars with some achievements, experts, and the fine products in museums were all taken away. Take the current Forbidden City for example. Those who had been to see it knew that it was just looking at the architecture. This was because all the cultural relics had been transferred back then. Of course, at first, they were transferred to guard against the Japanese, but all the things that were transferred were taken away.
Not only were the things of the government, but they were also plundered from the people!
This was completely opposite to the People's Liberation Army's principle of "not taking a needle or a thread from the people"!
It was because of the principle of "not taking a needle or a thread from the people" that Hua Xia had everything it had today, and the Party received the support and love of the people.
Those leaders back then did not have a private car, property benefits, or high salaries. There were even many leaders who took the initiative to subsidize the people.
Now that there were benefits, high salaries, private cars, and all kinds of things, but those bastards who still wanted to take some from the pockets of the people were not worthy of being compared to those honest leaders back then.
Do you know what the legacy of Premier Zhou, who faced the grim situation back then, when he left the people who loved him, was?
In an old leather suitcase, under a shabby shirt, there were only a few thousand yuan of savings in his life!
He was a premier, but he only had a few thousand yuan of savings in his life?
Now, how many officials bought and sold official positions, were corrupt, took bribes, and "corrupted" one after another. How many officials used public property for luxury cars and houses? How many officials kept mistresses while talking about serving the people?
Would the once upright and clean premier make these officials blush with shame for the rest of their lives?
Economists who understood economics should not say that a few thousand in 1976 was comparable to hundreds of thousands today. Because even a "ninth-grade small county official" now, as long as he stretched out his hand, the money that he embezzled every year was not as simple as hundreds of thousands, right?
It was more than ten times! And it was every year! Every year! Every year!
Not for a lifetime!
Even in ancient times, could a ninth-grade small county official be compared to a first-grade Ji Xiaolan?
What about when those honest leaders had to leave this world? Even a ninth-grade small county official in Hua Xia could get three to eight big houses in his lifetime, have savings of more than eight figures, and emigrate of the family's children, and even arrange for the work of relatives …
This was not a big deal at all!
If a developer wanted to build a house in a small county, wouldn't he have to at least offer a house? If the road in a small county was repaired every three to five days, wouldn't the foreman have to express his appreciation for the road that could be crushed in "half a year and three months"? If an entertainment club wanted to have a peaceful day and night, how could the boss not provide for it?
He could not give more examples, or else it would be disappointing!
Of course, the developer could be the leader's brother, the foreman could be the leader's friend, and the owner of the club could be the leader's relative …
Anyway, this circle was just like Hua Xia's old saying: When a man achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs will also ascend to the heavens!
Xia Qiuyu realized the seriousness of the problem through this Bureau Chief Niu. Even in such a severe anti-corruption battle, there would still be a group of parasites holding on to the mentality of "the sky is high and the emperor is far away" and constantly corroding the fruits of the revolution, corroding the most basic foundation of the great country!
If these bastards were to succeed in their corruption, everything was destined to collapse with a loud bang!
That was why Xia Qiuyu had such an idea, and Xu Yun naturally supported it. If the Commission for Discipline Inspection could have such a special comrade, he believed that the anti-corruption battle would be easier in the future.
Of course, the Commission for Discipline Inspection did not use "stealing" to investigate, but with Xia Qiuyu's innate sense of smell and ability to identify and track things, she would definitely be able to achieve great things in this job.
As long as Xia Qiuyu was given a platform, she would definitely be able to investigate a lot of hidden corruption.
She could even find out about the beast head, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find out about a few corrupt people.
Wan Kuangxiao was also very pleased about this. Because of Xia Qiuyu's special situation, when Wan Kuangxiao recommended Xia Qiuyu to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the comrades in the Commission for Discipline Inspection were naturally a million times more than willing!
Now, they lacked a comrade like Xia Qiuyu who was determined to fight against corruption. The country needed her, the Commission for Discipline Inspection needed her, the anti-corruption work needed her, and the people needed her!
Xia Qiuyu was immediately hired, and she was over the moon.
Before they parted, Xu Yun told Xia Qiuyu, "Comrade Xia Qiuyu, the anti-corruption battle is a long and arduous journey. I hope that you can withstand the pressure and stick to your views. I believe that you will definitely be able to make great contributions to the development and construction of our country."
"Don't worry about that, I will definitely not let any corrupt bastard go," Xia Qiuyu said. "Even if I have to give up everything, I will severely punish all the corrupt and derelict people. If they dare to take a needle or a piece of thread from the people, I will make them repent in prison for the rest of their lives!"
"That's the spirit!" Xu Yun praised.
Xia Qiuyu smiled, "Even if it's you, if you are corrupted in the future, I will definitely not go easy on you."
"I'm afraid that no one will dare to corrupt me in this lifetime." Xu Yun smiled bitterly and cracked the bones in his fist, "If they dare to corrupt my people, I will definitely make them repent in the hospital for a few months."
