Lu Tao only knew that Chen Pei's father was the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, but he didn't think that the director of the provincial tax bureau was actually her father's secretary. He was a bit surprised and a bit regretful: If he knew that she had such a deep relationship with the head of the provincial bureau, he would've told her before he was going to be punished. He would've asked her to help him think of a way to avoid the punishment …
Thus, he smiled bitterly and said, "Peipei, there's no point in talking about this now. My punishment is already in effect and my position as the deputy director of the inspection bureau is gone. There's no point in talking about this anymore. I should just focus on my work in the village and make some real contributions to the village. I'll think about how to improve after the punishment is over!"
Chen Pei stubbornly asked, "When were you punished? I remember that time I went to Twin Bear Mountain was at the end of last month. At that time, you had just finished the competition for the middle management position in your bureau, so you must've been punished at the beginning of this month, right? "
Lu Tao nodded and said, "That's right. The day you left Taolin County, the owner of O 'Neal's Hotel, Liu Hong, had a conflict with me. When I returned to my apartment that night, I was ambushed by a group of people. The original audit documents of O' Neal's Hotel were also stolen that night. The next day, I went to O 'Neal's Hotel to find Liu Hong and coincidentally met the leader of the group that ambushed me that night. In a moment of impulse, I ran over to take him to the police station, but he resisted so I punched him. Later on, I had a conflict with O' Neal's hotel security. Liu Hong called the police to wait there. As soon as I punched him, the police immediately came out and took me to the police station. About two or three days later, the bureau gave me a severe punishment. "
Chen Pei quietly listened to him and then tilted her head and silently calculated. She said, "I went to your place on the 30th of last month. About a week later, you received your punishment. Right now is the 21st of July. According to this calculation, it hasn't even been half a month since you received your punishment. According to the regulations for civil servants, if the person receiving punishment doesn't agree with the punishment, they can appeal to the administrative department that made the punishment within a month. They can also apply for administrative review. That's why there's still room for negotiation. I suggest that you appeal directly to Songshan's local tax bureau, and I'll help you find some connections in the provincial tax bureau. Perhaps you can get your county's local tax bureau to revoke your punishment. "
Seeing that she was so considerate of him, Lu Tao was very touched. He didn't want to reject her good intentions, so he nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I have an appointment with a fellow countryman and classmate of our provincial bureau for lunch tomorrow. When the time comes, I'll ask him about the procedures and methods of the local tax system's disciplinary action appeal or administrative review. In the evening, our county's County Mayor Su and Director Cai of the County's Finance Bureau will invite you to dinner. I will also attend. At that time, I will tell you what I have found out. If I can appeal or apply for administrative review, I will ask for your help. "
Chen Pei felt a little strange and asked, "You have fellow villagers and classmates in the provincial tax bureau's monitoring room? Then why didn't you ask him to intercede for you when you were punished? After all, he's from a higher authority. Maybe it'll be useful for him to greet his subordinates. "
Lu Tao shook his head and said: "That classmate of mine is called Lin Hua. He's about the same age as me. We both took the civil servant exam and entered the local tax system in the same year. Although his hometown is in Qingxi County, his parents have lived in the provincial capital for a long time. Therefore, when he applied for a civil servant position in the provincial tax bureau, he successfully passed. Moreover, he and I aren't classmate in the traditional sense. It's just that before I entered the local tax bureau, I went to the provincial tax bureau's school for three months of pre-job training. Therefore, our friendship as classmates only lasted for three months.
"It's just that because his hometown is in Qingxi County, and I got along well with him, our interests and hobbies are similar. We both like literature, like sports, and have practiced martial arts. During the training period, we often played together and became good friends. However, he's only a section chief in the monitoring room right now. He doesn't have any connections below. Even if he wanted to help me, he probably wouldn't be able to. Moreover, you know my personality. Under normal circumstances, I don't like to trouble others. I especially don't like to give others problems because of my personal matters. Therefore, Lin Hua shouldn't know that I was punished yet. "
Chen Pei nodded and said: "Now that you say it like that, I understand. You and that Lin guy aren't really classmates, and you don't have a deep relationship. He might not be able to help you, so you just didn't tell him, right?"
Seeing Lu Tao nod, she asked again: "You're treating him to lunch tomorrow. Do you want me to attend?"
Lu Tao thought about it and said: "Your identity is very sensitive. Lin Hua and the others are all officials. Why don't you not show up for now? Tomorrow, I'll ask him about the situation first. Then, I'll act according to the situation. If I need you to show up, I'll call you."
"Okay then, I'll have lunch later tomorrow. I'll wait for your call. If you need me to show up, just give me a call and I'll rush over immediately. "
Lu Tao agreed and suddenly remembered his main purpose in coming to the provincial capital. He asked: "Peipei, I came to find you this time mainly to ask you to help me apply for a 'hat fund' for the village I helped. It's used for the renovation of the village's houses and the hardening of the roads. In other words, it's a new rural construction fund. Can you do that?"
Chen Pei said: "This is a bit difficult. You might not know this, but the new rural construction fund is usually allocated in the first half of the year. It's already July. You're a bit late, so it might be a bit difficult to fight for it. However, I can still fight for you and see if Director Li has any flexible indicators left. If he does, I'll think of a way! "
At this time, the doctor on duty informed Chen Pei to get the CT scan results of her brain. The two of them hurriedly got up and went to the window where the results were sent. They got Chen Pei's scan and asked the doctor to look at it. The doctor said there was no problem and gave them some medicine to treat injuries.
Then, Lu Tao called a Didi car and sent Chen Pei to the Provincial Party Committee's courtyard first. He went back to the hotel to rest …
