With the cooperation of the man and woman, nine out of ten people in the crowd believed them. The rest of the people who didn't believe them also became convinced after they asked the question in their hearts and received perfect answers from the other party. Therefore, this new group of people quickly left after listening to the story. They went back to make photocopies of their ID cards, household registration books, and bank cards. They gathered all the necessary information so that they could join the association as soon as possible and get the hundreds of thousands of poverty alleviation funds as soon as possible.
Xu Jianqiang also followed the crowd out. However, he wasn't fooled by the act of the two people. Instead, he concluded that the two people were pyramid schemers. Although the two people didn't use the common methods of pyramid scheming to recruit members, it couldn't hide the nature of their pyramid scheming.
Xu Jianqiang returned to the car and continued to drive. He went to a few nearby villages to see if the villages had been infiltrated by this "Great National Undertaking" pyramid schemer. In the end, he found that there were already such pyramid schemers in three villages. They used the method of directly defrauding the entrance fee. This group of pyramid schemers was very smart. The amount of money they defrauded from the people was very small, only a few hundred yuan. However, the promised return was very high. The least amount was more than a hundred thousand yuan, and the most amount was more than a few hundred thousand yuan. Many people couldn't resist the temptation of such high returns. Coupled with the crowd mentality, they paid a few hundred yuan entrance fee. There was no lack of poor people who were fooled.
A few hundred yuan from one person didn't seem like a lot, but when there were many people, the total amount would be huge. Ten people would be a few thousand yuan, and a hundred people would be tens of thousands of yuan. With this accumulation, the pyramid schemers could cheat millions or even tens of millions of yuan in a very short period of time!
After visiting Hanshui County, Xu Jianqiang rushed overnight to Xi County. This morning, he visited a few poor villages and towns. He only found the same "Great National Undertaking" pyramid schemer in one of the poor villages and towns. However, if they appeared in one town, wouldn't the other villages and towns be infiltrated soon?
After this round, Xu Jianqiang learned that the pyramid schemer had entered Hanshui and Xi County, and its development was very fierce. He didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed back to the city to report to the leader, Li Rui.
Li Rui was shocked when he learned of this situation. Shuanghe County was the first to discover the MLM organization. Now that Hanshui County and Xi County had also discovered it, there was no need to think about it. The other poor counties in the city, and even the non-poor counties, would definitely be ravaged by this "Great Ethnic Cause" MLM organization. If it was not controlled and eliminated, then the entire Qingyang Region would fall. At that time, not only would the poor people be greatly harmed, but the "City Poverty Alleviation Campaign" led by the boss would also be greatly affected. What was even more frightening was that it might even affect the "Council of Elders" that was to be held in September!
"No, this pyramid schemer must be eliminated as soon as possible!"
Li Rui asked Xu Jianqiang to go back to rest, and then quickly went into the inner room to report this terrible situation to Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang didn't want to hear it, but after hearing it, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. He suddenly slammed the table, stood up and scolded, "Great National Undertaking? I think they are pure national scourge!" After thinking for a while, he ordered, "Call Minsheng over immediately!"
Li Rui nodded, turned around and ran out. In one breath, he ran to Du Minsheng's office and asked him to come over. On the way, he also told him about the situation.
Du Minsheng knew that Song Chaoyang was going to take action. He probably called him over to arrange a mission. For a pyramid scheme that was so widespread and harmful, it was impossible to completely eliminate it with just the strength of one county or district. It was necessary for the whole city to work together, deploy a unified strategy, and attack at the same time. According to this analysis, Song Chaoyang wanted the Municipal Committee General Office to launch a small meeting of the leaders of all counties and districts, the Director of Public Security, and the relevant leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Sure enough, after Du Minsheng arrived, Song Chaoyang arranged a task for him. The General Office of the Municipal Party Committee immediately issued a notice, asking all county and district leaders and people in charge of public security to come to the Municipal Party Committee before 3 p.m. to participate in the temporary meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. At the same time, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee who were at home would be called for a meeting at 3 p.m.
After hearing this, Du Minsheng immediately went back to make the arrangements.
In fact, in today's age when communication technology was so advanced, there was no need for all county leaders to come to the Municipal Party Committee for a city-wide meeting like this. After all, it was far and troublesome, and it would affect efficiency. Usually, a video conference would be able to accurately convey the intention. However, Song Chaoyang chose to take the slow route and asked all county and district leaders to come to the Municipal Party Committee for a meeting. Of course, this was not to show off his authority as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, but to emphasize the importance of the meeting. He wanted all county and district leaders to be very careful before the meeting and not dare to be negligent. Obviously, this would be a good guide for them to carry out the task of eliminating the pyramid schemer.
Before Li Rui went out, Song Chaoyang told him, "I have to report this situation to the provincial government as soon as possible so that they can prepare for the prevention and control. In addition, I have to consider how to deal with this situation and announce it at the Standing Committee in the afternoon. Because of the urgency of the situation, there is no time for the Standing Committee to discuss it. I have to make the arrangements directly … There is no time for lunch. “
Li Rui nodded and walked out of the office. He looked at the time. It was already 12 pm, and it was time for lunch. He ran to the elevator lobby.
There was no one in the elevator. When it reached the 4th floor, it stopped and a young man and woman entered.
The woman walked into the elevator and saw Li Rui. She was surprised and happy. She raised her hand and pointed at him. "It's you!"
Li Rui smiled and nodded at her as a greeting. He thought to himself that when he did not know her, he had not seen her at the Municipal Party Committee building. But after knowing her, he could bump into her so casually. God was really interesting.
This woman was none other than Bai Shanshan, who had a car accident with him. This girl had just taken the public exam and entered the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department. She was now an ordinary staff member. When she was outside, she dressed very fashionably. She used her shoulder-length hair and sunglasses to show off her youthful beauty. But when she came to work, she kept a low profile. Her shoulder-length hair was combed into a ponytail, and she did not dare to wear sunglasses. Although she did put on makeup, it was nude makeup. She also wore a black and gray dress. She tried not to attract attention, but this did not affect her beauty or reduce her attractiveness to men.
Today, she was wearing a grey short-sleeved round-neck shirt, which made her look very old. Below that, she was wearing a black skinny skirt that reached her knees. Her slender legs were covered with thin, flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of black, pointed leather shoes with high heels. She was graceful and very charming.
Li Rui felt that if the Municipal Party Committee held a beauty contest, this girl would probably win first place. At least in the Municipal Party Committee, he had not seen a younger and more beautiful female staff member than her.
Bai Shanshan smiled and said, "It's so strange. When we didn't know each other, I never saw you. But after we met, we even bumped into each other in the elevator."
Li Rui smiled and said, "That's what I was thinking too."
Bai Shanshan smiled and said, "You're going down for lunch, right? Let's eat together? "
Li Rui did not want to have lunch with her. He always kept a low profile, especially in work. If he dared to have lunch with a beauty like Bai Shanshan, there would be rumors about him and Bai Shanshan tomorrow. Although he was not afraid of rumors, he did not want others to find the opportunity to make wild guesses.
Just as he was about to refuse, he heard the man beside Bai Shanshan smile and say to Bai Shanshan, "Xiao Bai, this friend is? Can you introduce him? "
Li Rui was interrupted by him and could not continue. He turned to look at the man and saw that he was about the same age as Bai Shanshan. He was not short and had a good figure. He wore a shirt and trousers, but he looked like a playboy.
The man saw him look over and also looked at him. Although there was a smile on his face, there was a strange look in his eyes.
Bai Shanshan introduced, "This is also our colleague. Because we all work in the Municipal Party Committee, he works in the General Office. His name is Li Rui."
The man said, "Li Rui? This name sounds familiar. I think I've heard someone mention it before. "
Li Rui smiled and said, "I'm not famous. The person you've heard of is definitely not me. Hello, you are?"
The man said frivolously, "My name is Zhang Feifan. I entered the Organization Department with Xiao Bai. She was third and I was first."
Li Rui was secretly amused. It was the first time they met. Why did he emphasize on grades? Didn't he know that grades could only be used as a stepping stone? After entering the government, grades were useless.
After Zhang Feifan knew Li Rui's identity, he lost interest in him. He said to Bai Shanshan, "Take my car after work tonight. I'll give you a lift. My Q7 is big and comfortable. Didn't you drive your car to the 4S shop for major repairs?"
When Li Rui heard his words and saw his fawning expression towards Bai Shanshan, he knew that he was pursuing Bai Shanshan. Of course, this was human nature. Bai Shanshan was as beautiful as a flower. Which young man wouldn't adore a woman like her? Did he not want to pursue her? If he was eight years younger, he would also be attracted to Bai Shanshan. Zhang Feifan and Bai Shanshan were admitted to the same department at the same time. As the saying goes, "the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first." He had a bigger advantage than other pursuers. Of course, he would take advantage of it.
Bai Shanshan said, "Let's see. Who knows if I'll work overtime at night? I didn't expect that a government office like the Municipal Party Committee would have to work overtime. Before the exam, I thought the Municipal Party Committee was very relaxed."
Zhang Feifan automatically filtered her complaints and said, "We work overtime together. We also get off work together. So, you don't have to be polite with me. Just take my car."
Bai Shanshan smiled and said, "We'll see." Then she said to Li Rui, "Let's eat together later. I won't treat you today because the canteen food is too cheap. I'll treat you to a big meal another day."
