After leaving the town, Wang Zhichang angrily said to Lu Tao, "This Li Weijun is really hateful. No wonder you're at odds with him like fire and water. Now that I know the truth, I'll report it to Chief Long when I get back. I won't blame you anymore. You can stay here in peace and pay attention to discipline and your words and actions. Just don't let Li Weijun catch you. "
Lu Tao gratefully said, "Thank you, Chief Wang. Please rest assured that I won't violate the rules of the village and I won't let Li Weijun catch me. "
After sending off Wang Zhichang, Lu Tao walked towards Huaguang Village while secretly swearing in his heart, "This bastard Li Weijun is too much of a bully. I must find a way to expose this corrupt person's dirty face. It would be best if I could send him to prison …"
When he was about to reach the fork in the road to Huaguang Village, Lu Tao's phone suddenly rang. When he looked at the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar phone number.
After the phone connected, a very enthusiastic male voice came from the other side, "Is this Comrade Lu Tao? Hello, I'm Huang Zeke. We've met a few times. Do you remember me? "
Lu Tao was stunned for a moment. After carefully recalling, he remembered that Huang Zeke was the mayor of Da Long Town. Because he rarely came to Huaguang Village, Lu Tao had only met him once or twice and never had any contact with him.
"Hello Mayor Huang, I'm Lu Tao. Do you have any instructions?" Lu Tao thought Huang Zeke was looking for him because of work, so he asked, "What instructions do you have?"
Huang Zeke laughed and said, "I don't dare to give instructions. I just saw you come out of Secretary Li's office. I was talking to a cadre in the corridor so I didn't have time to greet you. Where are you now? Have you eaten? "
"I'm preparing to go back to the village to cook. I'm now at the fork in the road to Huaguang Village."
"Little Lu, don't go back to the village to cook. I'll treat you to lunch at the Maple Forest Restaurant near your current location, okay?"
Lu Tao didn't expect Huang Zeke to suddenly treat him to lunch. He couldn't help but be surprised. He had never met him before and he was the mayor. Why would he treat him to lunch for no reason?
Therefore, he tactfully said, "Thank you, Mayor Huang. I'll go back to the village to eat. I'll treat you next time."
Huang Zeke hurriedly said, "Little Lu, I have something to tell you. It just so happens that it's lunchtime right now, so I'll use this opportunity to talk to you. Why don't you go to Maple Forest Restaurant first? I'll be right there. "
When Lu Tao heard that he had something to discuss with him, he couldn't refuse and could only agree.
Roughly ten minutes later, Huang Zeke arrived at the Maple Forest Restaurant and warmly shook hands with Lu Tao. He got the boss to arrange a private room at the western end of the building and ordered four dishes and two bottles of Red Bull before bringing Lu Tao into the private room.
After sitting down in the private room, Huang Zeke looked at Lu Tao with a very friendly gaze and asked, "Little Lu, how do you feel about Huaguang Village?"
Lu Tao didn't know what the relationship between Huang Zeke and Li Weijun was like. He also didn't know why Huang Zeke wanted to treat him to lunch, so he didn't dare to tell him the truth. He vaguely replied, "I feel okay. Anyway, it's just some investigations, organizing some information, and participating in village meetings. The work isn't tiring, but it's a little inconvenient."
Huang Zeke stared at him for a while and tilted his head to think for a moment. He suddenly asked, "Little Lu, is there any conflict or misunderstanding between you and Secretary Li?"
Lu Tao's heart moved as he asked, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
Huang Zeke hesitated for a moment and said as if he had made up his mind, "Little Lu, there's something I have to remind you. This morning, we had a town committee meeting. The topic of the meeting was to arrange for the town's central work in July. But when the meeting was about to end, Secretary Li suddenly talked about your problem. He said that you have no respect for discipline, have an arrogant personality, and don't obey the leadership of the town committee. He said that you have repeatedly violated the rules of the village and set a bad example for the other task forces.
"Because of this, he asked Deputy Secretary Jin, who is in charge of the work of the local people, to strictly assess the local tax bureau's task force every month and record all the problems found. I also heard that Secretary Li told Deputy Secretary Jin in private that he was going to evaluate the local tax bureau's task force as unqualified at the end of the year. From this point of view, he has a very deep prejudice against you! "
The reason why Huang Zeke suddenly invited Lu Tao to lunch today and took the initiative to mention the conflict between Lu Tao and Li Weijun was actually premeditated for a long time.
It turned out that Huang Zeke was transferred from another town to be the mayor of Dalong Town two years ago. He wanted to do a big job here and lay the foundation for his further promotion.
He didn't expect that after working for a few months, he would find that he had become a puppet with a position but no power in town. The reason was that Li Weijun, the Party Secretary, was overbearing and unreasonable. He was a dictator and "one man's word" in town. He overstepped his authority to the point of madness. Everything in town, no matter whether it was big or small, whether it was the Party Committee or the government, he had a hand in it. Moreover, he was the one who had the final say. Huang Zeke, as the mayor, had no right to speak, let alone make decisions.
Because of this, Huang Zeke hated Li Weijun to the core, but there was nothing he could do. Because Li Weijun had a very good relationship with the Party Committee Secretary, Luo Qiulin, and his backer was the Organization Minister, Fu Lei, who was not on the same level as Li Weijun's backer. If he openly fought with Li Weijun, he would definitely be the one who would suffer in the end.
Therefore, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and work as a "puppet mayor" under Li Weijun's shadow for two years. However, deep down in his heart, he was actually very unwilling and unconvinced. He also longed for the day when he could turn over a new leaf and get rid of the awkward situation where he had the position but had no power …
Not long ago, he went to Fu Lei's house to visit him. At noon, the two of them drank a bottle of white wine. Fu Lei was a little drunk. He suddenly told him in a mysterious tone, "In Taolin County, there is a person who is very close to the Party Committee Secretary Zhou. If you want to improve and get rid of Li Weijun's suppression, you must find a way to get close to this person. "
Huang Zeke hurriedly asked who that person was. Fu Lei was talking about Lu Tao from the Local Taxation Bureau. He was now helping with the construction of the new village in Huaguang Village in Dalong Town.
