Zhang Zhiyuan's anger subsided after he understood the situation. However, Lu Yiwei's actions angered him. "Why didn't you write an IOU when you went to the finance department? Now you're being sued by Mayor Su for misappropriating public funds. Have you considered the consequences? "
Lu Yiwei felt like he was struck by lightning. He did not expect Su Qiming to know about this. He could not defend himself. "County Zhang, I did not do a good job. I admit my mistake."
Zhang Zhiyuan's anger dissipated when he saw Lu Yiwei's innocent look. He felt that his tone was a little harsh just now, so he softened his tone and said, "Since there is a reason for this, I won't blame you for this. However, I hope that you will be more cautious in these small matters in the future. If you are not careful, you will be caught by others. Alright, sit down."
Lu Yiwei was furious. Although the procedure was wrong, the money was used for work and did not go into his pocket. How could it be considered misappropriation of public funds? Most importantly, who reported this to Su Qiming? Gao Dakuan was the only one who took the money. Could it be him?
Zhang Zhiyuan could tell what Lu Yiwei was thinking. He had been busy with various matters recently and did not ask about the government. Now that there was a mole in the government that served him, he made up his mind to rectify this evil trend. Otherwise, there would be no secrets in the government. Anything he did would be exposed to Su Qiming.
"Ask Gao Dakuan to come up!" Zhang Zhiyuan said calmly.
Lu Yiwei walked briskly to Gao Dakuan's office, only to see him seriously fiddling with the computer. Gao Dakuan stood up excitedly when he saw Lu Yiwei. "Director Lu, I have yet to thank you. My son …"
"Alright, let's put this aside for now. County Zhang wants you to come up." Lu Yiwei said expressionlessly.
"Ah?" Gao Dakuan panicked. Ever since Zhang Zhiyuan took office in Nanyang County, he had never called him alone. Today, the sun rose from the west. He was so nervous that his legs were trembling. He stuttered and asked, "Director Lu, County Zhang … Why is he looking for me? Tell me in advance so that I can be prepared. "
"You'll know when you get there." Lu Yiwei turned around and walked straight upstairs. Seeing this, Gao Dakuan hurriedly followed behind.
Before he reached Zhang Zhiyuan's office, Gao Dakuan was so nervous that he couldn't move. Beads of sweat dripped down from his forehead, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Lu Yiwei ignored him. He knocked on the door and opened it, waiting for Gao Dakuan to enter. Gao Dakuan hesitated for a while, closed his eyes, and quickly walked in.
"Zhang … Zhang … County Zhang … You're looking for me?" Gao Dakuan stuttered, and the back of his shirt was wet.
Zhang Zhiyuan hated this kind of timid people the most. He asked in disgust, "Let me ask you, Lu Yiwei took 50,000 yuan from you?"
Gao Dakuan smiled and said, "County Zhang, there was such a thing, and I've already made up for it."
"Speak clearly! What the hell is going on! "Zhang Zhiyuan said with a heavy tone, scaring Gao Dakuan so much that he almost fell to the ground.
"Zhang … County Zhang … County Zhang, Director Lu took 50,000 yuan that day. That money was used to welcome Tong Ya Group's logistics. Because it was urgent, I borrowed money to make up for it. "Gao Dakuan said honestly.
"Who knows about this?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked.
Gao Dakuan immediately replied, "Only Director Lu and I know about this, no one else!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
"This …" Gao Dakuan began to suspect that there was a loophole in his words.
"Is it true or not? I want a definite answer! " Zhang Zhiyuan threw the documents on the table at Gao Dakuan. The papers flew in the air, and the atmosphere was frozen.
Gao Dakuan was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect Zhang Zhiyuan to be so angry because of such a small matter. He was making a big fuss over it. He quickly bent down to pick up the scattered documents, but was stopped by Zhang Zhiyuan. "You don't need to pick it up. Answer me!"
Gao Dakuan recalled quickly and finally remembered. "County Zhang, there is indeed someone else who knows about this. That day …"
"Pa!" An ashtray flew over and hit Gao Dakuan. It quickly fell to the ground, and glass shards flew everywhere. The ear-piercing sound echoed in the corridor. Even the staff downstairs heard the sound. They immediately stopped chatting and tiptoed back to their desks, pretending to work. Zhang Zhiyuan stood up and said angrily, "What is it? Didn't you say no one knows? How did someone find out now? "
Gao Dakuan was so scared that his whole body was trembling. He stuttered, "Mayor … Mayor Zhang, when Director Lu left that day, Director Cai came in and asked me why Director Lu came in. I lied and said that it was nothing, but Director Cai said that he had seen everything, so I had to tell him the truth. After he heard it, he didn't say anything and just left. "
Well, the matter was basically cleared up. Zhang Zhiyuan pointed at the door and said, "Get lost!"
Gao Dakuan rolled and crawled out of the room.
Lu Yiwei cleaned up the things on the floor, while Zhang Zhiyuan lit a cigarette and looked out of the window. Thinking of what Cai Jianguo had done, Zhang Zhiyuan was disheartened. After a long time, he said, "Cai Jianguo must be transferred. Yiwei, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Some time ago, the deputy director of the government office, Li Jianguo, had looked for him for a promotion. Although Shiwan Village had been occupied by Wei Guoqiang, the position of the government office's director was much better than that of a township. This was a good opportunity. Lu Yiwei said, "The deputy director of the government office, Li Jianguo, is honest and capable. He is a useful person."
"Good! That's settled. "Zhang Zhiyuan said fiercely. This time, he vented all the anger that he had been suppressing for a long time on Gao Dakuan.
After calming down, Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Later, you go and meet Tao Anguo's wife and ask for her opinion. See which unit she is willing to go to. I will also talk to Mayor Su. Also, you go and comfort Gao Dakuan. I didn't control my emotions just now. This matter must not be known to outsiders. "
"Okay, I will do it now!"
As soon as he went downstairs, the people from the government office surrounded Lu Yiwei and asked about Zhang Zhiyuan's situation. Lu Yiwei took the blame and said: "I was the one who made Mayor Zhang angry." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel angry. In their minds, it was a great thing for Lu Yiwei to be ridiculed.
When they arrived at Gao Dakuan's office, they saw him sitting on the chair in a daze. His eyes were red and swollen as if he had just cried. When he saw Lu Yiwei, he stood up in a panic and said, "Director Lu, it's really not me …"
Lu Yiwei quickly covered Gao Dakuan's mouth and said, "Keep your voice down." Gao Dakuan immediately muted his voice.
Lu Yiwei did not discuss the matter directly but found a good starting point. "What did you say just now? Your son's job is settled?"
Gao Dakuan's mind was filled with the shocking scene just now. He did not care about this and continued to pester Lu Yiwei. "Director Lu, I didn't say anything to anyone. It's just that Director Cai …"
"Enough!" Lu Yiwei said impatiently. "Don't mention this again. It's all in the past. County Zhang asked me to visit you. He said he was a little short-tempered earlier and shouldn't have gotten angry at you. "
"Really?" Gao Dakuan's eyes were filled with tears and held Lu Yiwei's hand. "You said County Zhang apologized to me?"
"Sort of. Anyway, don't take it to heart. Let bygones be bygones. Let bygones be bygones. I hope you won't mention this in front of anyone. It'll be bad for you if it gets out."
"Absolutely, absolutely won't say anything, not even to my wife. Don't worry. I know what to do. "Gao Dakuan promised.
Lu Yiwei believed him and said, "I will pay you the money in the afternoon. Sorry for the trouble."
"Director Lu, please don't say that. You have helped me a lot. If it wasn't for you, my son would not be able to work. I will pay for this."
"That's a different matter. Furthermore, this is the government's money. You shouldn't pay for it. Alright, I will not say anything else. Don't feel burdened and continue to do your job. Maybe after this incident, County Zhang will have a different opinion of you. He might even put you in an important position. Think about it yourself. "
"Ah? Really? " Gao Dakuan had completely forgotten about the unpleasantness just now. His mood was like a roller coaster, sliding from one extreme to another.
"Whether it is true or not depends on what you do. Alright, I still have something to do. "After that, Lu Yiwei rushed to the next stop. He found Tao Anguo's wife at the Animal Husbandry Bureau.
After a heart-to-heart talk, Lu Yiwei knew where she wanted to go. He went back and reported to Zhang Zhiyuan. "County Zhang said that she likes the Finance Bureau the most. She said that she will be proud if she goes out."
"Alright. We will do as she says." After talking about work, Zhang Zhiyuan could not bear to say anything. "Yiwei, don't blame me for being so angry just now. If I don't do this, it will be hard to settle this matter. I have wanted to deal with Cai Jianguo for a long time. But seeing that he is old, I can't bear to do anything to him. This time, I have made up my mind. I will not use him again."
"Also, if you need money in the future, you can go to the reception center to get it. I will inform them later. Don't let others have anything against you. You can make an application in the name of the government, and I will sign it. We will erase the money first. "
Zhang Zhiyuan, who had returned to his senses, was still gentle and elegant. Lu Yiwei nodded his head.
