Lu Tao was a young man in the prime of his life. Now that he was in the arms of a beautiful woman, his rationality had long been washed away. After passionately kissing Chen Pei for a few minutes, he couldn't control himself anymore and impatiently started to tear off Chen Pei's shirt.
However, just as Lu Tao pulled off the first button of Chen Pei's shirt, his hand was suddenly caught by Chen Pei. In the darkness, he heard a faint voice ask, "Lu Tao, will you marry me?"
This question was like a bucket of cold water splashed over his head, instantly extinguishing the raging flames of passion in Lu Tao. Yes, will you marry her? Do you love her? Can you take responsibility for your actions today? She's the daughter of the dignified deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. If you abandon her, have you thought of the consequences? What's more, Chen Pei is so good to you and so infatuated. If you take her body but don't marry her, are you still human?
These thoughts flashed through Lu Tao's mind like lightning, and he calmed down completely.
Thus, he withdrew his hand from Chen Pei's shirt and said apologetically, "Pei Pei, I'm sorry!"
Chen Pei was silent for a while, then reached out to hold Lu Tao's hand and said in a low voice, "Lu Tao, I know you still can't let go of Yang Xiaoting, and you can't promise me anything. I understand this very well. You are well aware of my feelings for you, but I will never force you. How about this, let's make a three year promise. From now on, I'll wait for you for three years. During this time, as long as you have feelings for me, I can marry you at any time. However, you don't have to be restrained during these three years. As long as you find a suitable girlfriend, you can fall in love and get married. You don't have to worry about my feelings. "
Lu Tao didn't expect Chen Pei to have such deep feelings for him. She actually took the initiative to propose such an extremely unfair "agreement" to her. Moved, he couldn't help but hug her body and kiss her forehead several times in succession …
At half past six in the morning, Chen Pei woke up first. After washing up, she went to the kitchen to take a look. Seeing that there were noodles and eggs in the fridge, she made two bowls of egg noodles and woke Lu Tao up. After the two of them finished eating, she carried the travel bag and left Taolin County dejectedly...
After sending Chen Pei off, Lu Tao felt much more refreshed. He pulled himself together and walked into the office building of the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau. On the notice board on the first floor lobby, he saw a pre-appointment notice for cadres. The first name on the notice was Lu Tao, and he was going to be promoted to the position of deputy director of the inspection bureau.
It turned out that half a month ago, the County Local Taxation Bureau carried out a selection and appointment of middle-level cadres. They planned to promote two middle-level managers and four middle-level assistants. After three rounds of professional examination, democratic evaluation, and party inspection, Lu Tao stood out from more than 20 young cadres who participated in the competition for mid-level deputy positions. He also successfully passed the party inspection. After seven days, he would be promoted to the position of deputy director of the inspection bureau.
After seeing the pre-appointment notice, Lu Tao's gloomy mood finally relaxed a lot. Just as he was about to go upstairs to his office, a few colleagues who were close to him had already gathered around to congratulate him. They clamored for him to treat them to a meal.
Lu Tao smiled and thanked his colleagues. He promised to treat them to seafood at the O'Neill International Hotel as soon as the appointment document was issued.
After signing in and entering the office, Lu Tao was about to wipe the cigarette ash on his desk with a rag. The director of the inspection bureau, Xiao Yuanqiao, suddenly appeared at the door and asked him to bring the O'Neill International Hotel's tax inspection draft and calculation instructions to his office.
What surprised Lu Tao was that the chairman of the O'Neill International Hotel, Liu Hong, was also sitting in Xiao Yuanqiao's office. It seemed that he had been waiting inside for a while.
When he saw Lu Tao enter, Liu Hong put down the cup of hot tea in his hand, stood up, and shook hands with Lu Tao. He said with a fake smile, "Xiao Lu, I invited you, Director Xiao, and Director Li to dinner last night. Why did you refuse? Are you looking down on Uncle Hong? To put it bluntly, in Taolin County, there is no guest that Uncle Hong can't invite. Even Secretary Luo, County Mayor Su, and other leaders will give me some face as long as I send an invitation. Even if they are busy with work and can't make it, they will call me personally to explain. It seems that you are more arrogant than Secretary Luo and County Mayor Su, haha! "
As it turned out, Liu Hong was the "big brother" of Taolin County before he was fifty years old. To put it bluntly, he was a mafia boss. At his peak, it was said that he had eight King Kong and four to five hundred underlings. People in the underworld respectfully called him "Uncle Hong." In recent years, he started to turn from a mafia gang to an honest one. He used the ill-gotten wealth he amassed as a "big brother" to buy a coal mine and an antimony mine. He also opened a four-star luxury hotel in the most prosperous area of the county named the O'Neill International Hotel. Currently, this hotel was run by his eldest daughter, Liu Feiyan.
Lu Tao had also heard many rumors about Liu Hong. It was said that not only was he rich, he also had three beautiful daughters. His eldest daughter was the general manager of the O'Neill International Hotel, Liu Feiyan. It was said that she was the "goddaughter" of Secretary Luo Qiulin, but in reality, she was Luo Qiulin's mistress.
Because he had a daughter who was the mistress of the Secretary of the County, Liu Hong's business had been smooth sailing for the past few years. His business was getting bigger and bigger, and he had more interactions with the leaders of various departments in the county. He was also getting more and more arrogant. He didn't even care about ordinary bureau chiefs or village chiefs. He was only slightly polite to the heads of the Bureau of Land and Resources, the Public Security Bureau, the Tax Bureau, and other powerful departments. However, he was only polite to the leaders. He wouldn't even bother with a small staff like Lu Tao.
Not long ago, someone reported to the Tax Bureau that the O'Neill International Hotel was involved in serious tax evasion. The person who reported it even provided a portion of the hotel's business records to prove the authenticity of the report.
Hence, Xiao Yuanqiao arranged for Lu Tao and another cadre, Xia Kun, to form an inspection team. Lu Tao would be the chief inspector to conduct a tax inspection of the O'Neill International Hotel.
Lu Tao was an expert in inspection. Last year, he had received the honorary title of "Expert Inspector" from the Provincial Local Tax Bureau. He was especially proficient in electronic audit. When he was copying the electronic accounts on the hotel's accountant's computer with an inspection software, Lu Tao inadvertently found that the financial director sitting opposite him looked a little flustered. It seemed that he was searching for something on the computer. Lu Tao immediately ran over and looked at his computer. He found that the financial director was trying to delete a set of electronic accounts. However, because he was too anxious and his hands were shaking, he didn't have time to delete the set of electronic accounts.
Lu Tao immediately ordered the financial director to stand up. He sat in that seat and copied the set of electronic accounts with a USB flash drive that was specially used for audit. At the same time, he asked Xia Kun to copy the set of accounts on the accountant's computer.
Later, after comparing the two sets of accounts, he found that the sales revenue of the set of accounts on the financial director's computer was more than ten million yuan more than the set of accounts on the accountant's computer. Moreover, the financial director's electronic account had records of shareholders' dividends, and there was a profit of several million yuan every year. However, the accountant's set of accounts was a loss every year.
