"I'm busy. What's the matter?" Secretary Wu Haotian asked impatiently.
"Secretary, it's like this. Secretary Gong Daojin's ashes have been returned. "As Yao Haidong was speaking, Secretary Wu Haotian interrupted Yao Haidong's words." Gong Daojin's ashes have been returned. It's just a small matter. Is it worth reporting to me? There's a lot of things to do the day after tomorrow. I'm busy. "
Secretary Wu Haotian was about to hang up. Yao Haidong panicked and hurriedly said, "Old Master Ji Yunhe said that he would donate his salary to give Secretary Gong Daojin a proper funeral."
"What?" Secretary Wu Haotian was dumbfounded. He could not believe what he had heard.
"Old Master Ji said that he would donate a year's salary to give Secretary Gong Daojin a proper funeral." Yao Haidong repeated.
This time, Secretary Wu Haotian heard it clearly. A year's salary. This funeral would be very grand. What did that mean? Gong Daojin was a corrupt official. He was a convicted criminal. If he held a funeral in a grand manner and was caught by the media, Secretary Wu Haotian would not be able to get away with it. If he did not care about this, wouldn't he be offending Old Master Ji? When did Yao Haidong and Old Master Ji get in touch? Was it during this trip to Beijing? He had never heard anything about Old Master Ji before.
Secretary Wu Haotian was in a dilemma. He said to the phone, "I know. I'll ask Secretary Zhilin to arrange it." Then he hung up.
As soon as Secretary Wu Haotian hung up, Yao Haidong called Liu Lihai. Liu Lihai and Xiao Zhou were carrying food upstairs. As soon as the phone rang, Liu Lihai hurriedly picked up the phone. Yao Haidong said, "I've reported Secretary Gong's funeral to Secretary Wu. He said he will ask Shi Zhilin to arrange it. You can rest assured and prepare for it. However, you still have to keep a low profile. I've used Old Master Ji's name. We're like a tall tree that attracts the wind. So, you must keep a low profile. As long as the funeral arranged by Shi Zhilin is acceptable, you have to bear with it. Don't throw a tantrum again. You're not alone now. Remember, you're not alone. Do you understand? "
Yao Haidong reminded Liu Lihai. He was still a little worried about this boy. Young people were hot-blooded and impulsive. Moreover, he and Liu Lihai had been exposed. With Old Master Ji supporting them, Secretary Wu Haotian would be extra polite to him and pick on his mistakes. He needed to be extra careful. He was in such a situation. Presumably, Liu Lihai would be worse. After all, Shi Zhilin was far less resourceful than Secretary Wu Haotian.
"Thank you, Secretary General. I'll be careful." Liu Lihai was polite.
"It's not a matter of being careful. You need to control yourself. Don't be impulsive. Be patient with everything. Think before you act. Do you understand?" Yao Haidong now really regarded this boy as a child. He patiently warned Liu Lihai.
"Secretary General, I'll remember your words. I won't be impulsive again." Liu Lihai hurriedly promised. He just scolded Shi Zhilin. It was indeed his fault. It was reasonable for Yao Haidong to worry about him.
"Okay. Just remember it. I still have something to do. I'm hanging up. "Yao Haidong hung up the phone.
At this time, Liu Lihai was relieved. Whether Shi Zhilin would attend Gong Daojin's funeral tomorrow or not, there was one thing. Gong Daojin returned to Gong Village and did not obstruct him anymore.
"The problem is solved." After Liu Lihai hung up the phone, he said to Xiao Zhou in a very good mood.
"That's great." Xiao Zhou cheered.
"It's very likely that Shi Zhilin will attend the funeral in person. Therefore, we should prepare well according to the customs of Lin County tonight." Liu Lihai and Xiao Zhou said as they walked.
"Really? Secretary Shi will attend in person. That's great. That's great." Xiao Zhou said a series of "great" like a child. "Great." If Shi Zhilin could attend, he would be proud in front of other drivers. At that time, when Shi Zhilin's driver, Xiaowu, said that Gong Daojin was dead and that no one was allowed to attend the funeral, his eyes kept glancing at him. Xiao Zhou remembered that look clearly. Now Shi Zhilin had to attend in person. Let's see what else Xiaowu could say.
"Yes. Don't be too afraid of those drivers. Of course, you have to keep a low profile. "Liu Lihai said to Xiao Zhou.
"Thank you, Magistrate Liu. I won't flaunt it." Xiao Zhou said in a low voice. He didn't know how much he had been bullied by those drivers. He did all the dirty and tiring work, but he didn't tell Liu Lihai. When his master was weak, he, the driver, was also looked down upon.
"That's good." After Liu Lihai said this, he quickened his pace. Xiao Zhou followed closely and didn't say anything.
When they arrived at Fang Yezi's house, Liu Lihai and Xiao Zhou put the food on the table. Fang Yezi was in a better state. She asked Gong Yue to put the food on the table and moved a stool for Xiao Zhou to sit. After all, it was Xiao Zhou's first time at her house. He was still a guest.
Xiao Zhou quickly said, "Auntie, don't be so polite. I'm not a guest. I'll do it myself. "Xiao Zhou took the stool from Fang Yezi's hands. He was touched. In the past, he wouldn't have been able to see Fang Yezi. Even if he saw her, he would probably tremble in fear.
"Mom, let Xiao Zhou do it himself. He's not an outsider." Liu Lihai said.
At this time, Gong Yue put the food on the table and said to Liu Lihai, "Brother, are we not allowed to go back to our hometown?"
When Fang Yezi heard Gong Yue's words, she stared at Liu Lihai in confusion. Liu Lihai asked everyone to sit down and eat. He said, "Mom, I was just about to discuss with you. I want to make tomorrow's funeral as grand as possible. That's …"
Liu Lihai stopped talking and looked at Fang Yezi. Gong Yue was an impatient person and said, "What is it? We're talking at home. Don't be like this, Brother."
"Your brother is talking about the money." Fang Yezi replied to Gong Yue.
"A hundred thousand is my dad's money. It's enough for the funeral." Gong Yue said.
"Little Yue, I'm happy that you think this way. You've grown up." Fang Yezi looked at Gong Yue gently.
"Yes, Little Yue, you've grown up." Liu Lihai also said this sincerely. Then he said, "Let's all eat. Mom, it's time to go home. You have to eat well and cheer up. There will be a lot of guests tomorrow."
"A lot of guests? Didn't you tell us not to go back to Lin County? "Gong Yue asked.
"Secretary Shi may attend the funeral. If he comes, I think many leaders will come. So, Mom, Little Yue, you must eat well and have a good rest. I'll ask Xiao Zhou to pick you up tomorrow. He and I will go back to Lin County to prepare now. "Liu Lihai said.
"I'll go back too." Gong Yue said.
"You stay with mom. Besides, you can't help much. Xiao Zhou and I are enough. We'll have to trouble Xiao Zhou." Liu Lihai said and took the lead to eat. Everyone began to eat.
After dinner, Liu Lihai and Xiao Zhou went back to Lin County. On the way, Xiao Zhou asked Liu Lihai, "County Magistrate Liu, are you going back to the county or to Gong Village tonight?"
"I'm going to Gong Village. After you send me there, go home and have a good sleep. Pick them up early tomorrow. "Liu Lihai told Xiao Zhou.
"Okay." Xiao Zhou replied and focused on driving.
After the car drove into Lin County, Liu Lihai's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Qi Qiang. Qi Qiang asked Liu Lihai on the phone, "Where is County Magistrate Liu now?"
"I've arrived at the county. Brother Qi, is there any news?" Liu Lihai asked nervously.
Qi Qiang probably heard Liu Lihai's nervousness and quickly said, "Brother, don't be nervous. I just received a notice that all the leaders of the unit will attend Secretary Gong's funeral tomorrow. The weather has changed, brother. "
"Haha, I see. That's good. "Liu Lihai said.
"Brother, do you need help?" Qi Qiang asked.
Yes, Qi Qiang was really a person who changed the direction of the wind. Of course, he was willing to tell him the inside story, which could be considered as a brotherly relationship. Thinking of this, Liu Lihai said, "Brother Qi, to tell you the truth, I really need help. I don't know the customs of Lin County. If you don't feel that it will affect you, can you go with me to Gong Village and help with Secretary Gong's funeral?"
Liu Lihai's words were very tactful, but there was a hint of seriousness in his words. After all, the relationship between him and Shi Zhilin was obviously broken. Qi Qiang and Qin Hong had a good relationship. Now that he was partial to him, he was afraid that it would be difficult.
"We are brothers. If I don't do it now, when will I do it? Tell me where and I'll come. "Qi Qiang's attitude was surprisingly good, which surprised Liu Lihai.
"I'll wait for you at Bayi Road." Liu Lihai was no longer polite. He really needed help now.
After Liu Lihai hung up the phone, he said to Xiao Zhou, "You put me at Bayi Road. Director Qi will accompany me to Gong Village. You go back to sleep. There are a lot of things to do tomorrow."
"Okay," Xiao Zhou responded.
At this time, Liu Lihai's phone rang again. He took it out and looked at it. It turned out to be Lin Nuo. Lin Nuo asked on the phone, "Are you back in Lin County?"
"Yes," Liu Lihai replied, with an attitude that he didn't want to continue talking.
"Don't hang up," Lin Nuo probably heard Liu Lihai's attitude and said hurriedly, for fear that Liu Lihai would hang up.
"What's the matter?" Liu Lihai's tone was still businesslike.
"Do you still hate me?" Lin Nuo asked.
"Lin Nuo, I'm very busy now. If you don't have anything to do, don't ask me this question, okay?" Liu Lihai finally became impatient.
"Magistrate Liu, I know you are very busy. I, I just want to ask you, do you need me to go back to the village and ask a few people to help you with Secretary Gong's funeral?" Lin Nuo said hurriedly.
"What did you hear?" Liu Lihai didn't expect that Lin Nuo would help him at this time.
