Li Rui added, "What I mean is that County Magistrate Su should choose one from the current Deputy Director of the Administrative Service Center. Don't look for one from outside. The current Deputy Director should be familiar with the environment and personnel in the center. This way, there won't be any problems with the transfer of work and management."
Su Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he could hear the deeper meaning in Li Rui's words. He wasn't deliberately targeting him, but Qiao Guodong. "County Magistrate Li has even thought about this. I'm really impressed. Alright, then … let Deputy Director Zhang Jianguo take over."
Li Rui hung up the phone and said to Qiao Guodong, "Go back to the office now and call Deputy Director Zhang Jianguo down. As for you, wait for the organization to deal with you."
Qiao Guodong heard every single word that Li Rui said to Su Tao. He knew that Li Rui wanted to kill him, and his face was already black with anger. Now that he saw Li Rui on the phone, his anger erupted like a volcano. He didn't care anymore and shouted, "Li Rui, who do you think you are? Do you think you can deal with me just because you say so? Are you the Secretary of the County Committee? Even if the Secretary of the County Committee wants to deal with me, there will still be a meeting of the Standing Committee to discuss it. Who are you trying to scare? Let me tell you, don't act like a pig with a onion in its nose. Let me tell you, I'm not convinced. What right do you have to deal with me? Just because I was late once? Go and take a look at all the departments in the county. Which one of them is on time? So what if I'm late once? I think you're deliberately targeting me. You're taking revenge on me! "
Ma Yuming was unhappy when he heard that. He coldly reprimanded, "Comrade Qiao Guodong, please watch your words. You're talking to your superior!"
Niu Jin also secretly pulled Qiao Guodong and whispered, "Stop talking. Hurry up and apologize to County Magistrate Li. This time, you were wrong first …"
Qiao Guodong suddenly flung his hand away and said, "Don't bother about me!" He glared at Ma Yuming and said, "Watch my words? He wants to deal with me, what do I have to watch? Ma Yuming, I never knew that you were such an obedient and protective dog. However, you won't have a good ending either. He is a heartless person who doesn't care about his subordinates and doesn't show any mercy. He will oppress and deal with them at the slightest provocation. He has no compassion at all. Whoever follows him will not have a good ending. Remember my words. Sooner or later, you'll be like me, or even worse than me … "
Ma Yuming retorted righteously, "Qiao Guodong, don't talk nonsense. County Magistrate Li is not that kind of person. You, on the other hand, haven't realized your mistake …"
Li Rui waved his hand to stop him from continuing and said, "Yuming, please go upstairs and ask Deputy Director Zhang Jianguo to come down. Ask him to accompany me in my research."
Ma Yuming agreed and gave Qiao Guodong a cold glance before walking towards the stairs.
Li Rui said to Niu Jin, "Director Niu, let's talk at the Environmental Protection Bureau's window."
Niu Jin hurriedly agreed. She stepped aside and waved her hand to lead the way.
Qiao Guodong saw the four people walking towards the Environmental Protection Bureau's window. He stared at Li Rui's back with resentment. His face turned green and red. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned around to run outside.
Standing outside the Environmental Protection Bureau's window, without Niu Jin's order, the young female clerk who stayed at the window automatically ran out and stood with Wang Guilian. She looked at Li Rui with awe.
Li Rui said, "Director Niu, I originally planned to set our Environmental Protection Bureau's window as an example and let the administrative approval units in the Administrative Service Center learn from it. Who knew that our Environmental Protection Bureau's window is also unsightly."
Niu Jin was ashamed and wanted to admit her mistake. Li Rui had already asked Wang Guilian, "Now, in front of your director, you tell me honestly. What do you mean by accepting two cartons of cigarettes from the construction company?"
Wang Guilian blushed and asked cautiously, "Li … County Magistrate Li, I don't know what you … what do you mean by asking?"
Li Rui explained, "You just said that it doesn't cost money to apply for the night construction noise emission permit. In that case, why did he give you cigarettes?"
Wang Guilian's face was red to her ears. She said, "It doesn't cost money to apply for the permit. He … he gave me benefits because … because he wanted to save trouble."
Li Rui looked at her with a teasing expression and said, "What you mean is that if an ordinary person came to apply for this permit, you wouldn't easily give it to him. It's either the network is down today, or he's not here tomorrow, right?"
Wang Guilian was pointed out by him. She was ashamed and embarrassed. She lowered her head and her chin was about to hit the ground. She didn't dare to deny it, nor did she want to admit it. She was frozen there and didn't say a word.
Li Rui snorted coldly and said, "You have the power of administrative approval. You want to use this power to get some benefits. You can't take it openly, so you use all kinds of delaying tactics to force people to give you benefits, right?"
Wang Guilian said in a mosquito's voice, "No, County Magistrate Li. We … we … never dare to do that. Really."
Li Rui didn't believe her nonsense. Anyway, he could tell what kind of person she was from the fact that she accepted the cigarettes. He said to Niu Jin, "Director Niu, I hope that the bureau will investigate her and deal with her seriously for her illegal behavior of accepting benefits. You have to find out whether she only accepted benefits this time or before. Secondly, you have to find out whether there are any violations in the approval permit she handled. Give me a result after the investigation. "
Niu Jin didn't take this young deputy county magistrate seriously at first. But after seeing how he dealt with Qiao Guodong, the director of the center who had the support of the deputy county magistrate, how could he dare to be disrespectful to him? Hearing what Niu Jin said, he nodded and promised, "County Magistrate Li, please rest assured. We will investigate carefully. If there are any violations, we will punish them severely." After saying that, he thought to himself, "Although this young deputy county magistrate has a lot of power and often punishes cadres, his words and actions are all orderly and reasonable. He is very clever and is a very capable person. I have to be careful when I work under him in the future. I can't make any mistakes."
Wang Guilian's face turned ashen. She didn't move. She was already in the state of being punished.
Li Rui pointed to the young female clerk and said, "This female comrade is young and impetuous. She talks dirty. She is not suitable to work at the window. She should be criticized and changed to another position."
Niu Jin said, "Yes, I … I will ask her to go back to the bureau to be criticized and educated. County Magistrate Li, do you … have any other opinions?"
Li Rui looked at him with dissatisfaction and said earnestly, "Bureau Chief Niu, it's not that I have any opinions, but there is a problem with the window of the Environmental Protection Bureau. If the problem isn't solved, we won't be able to deal with people. I want you to go back and hold a team meeting with the bureau's party committee members to discuss how to ensure that the work style and efficiency of this external service window is always good and efficient. There must be a solution in one day, and there must be an obvious improvement in this window within three days. "
Niu Jin was lectured in public. His face turned red, but he was convinced in his heart. He thought that this Deputy County Magistrate was very young, but he could see the essence of the problem and think of a solution. This was very impressive. He then thought that if he was the one to solve the problem today, he would at most send Wang Guilian and Li Rui back to the bureau and change two people to be in charge of this window. This was equivalent to changing the soup but not the medicine, and he couldn't solve the problem from the essence. This showed how brilliant this Deputy County Magistrate was, and he was far inferior to him. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, I will remember."
Li Rui asked in an emphatic tone, "Can you fulfill my request? If you can't, then it means that your ability as a Bureau Chief is still lacking. I will have to consider changing the Bureau Chief. "
Niu Jin was shocked and nodded his head repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I can definitely complete it. County Magistrate Li, please look at my performance."
Li Rui said, "I will be coming back for a review in a few days. I hope that my window will be able to shine in front of me, and I will be able to set our window as a model for other administrative departments to learn from."
Niu Jin swore, "County Magistrate Li, don't worry about it. I promise that I will complete the task."
When he finished speaking, Ma Yuming brought Deputy Director Zhang Jianguo to Li Rui and gave a simple introduction to the two.
Li Rui went straight to the point, "Director Zhang, your previous Director, Qiao Guodong, is no longer suitable to be a leader. I have decided to change a Director. After discussing with Deputy County Magistrate Su Tao, he recommended you to take over Qiao Guodong's position. The appointment process will probably take a few days, but you can act as the acting Director now. Now, you will accompany me in the research center. Is there a problem? "
Zhang Jianguo should have known some inside information from Ma Yuming, so he was not very surprised when he heard Li Rui's words. He said with exultation, "No problem, no problem at all. County Magistrate Li, I am very honored to accompany you in the research center. I am also eagerly looking forward to receiving your guidance and teachings. Thank you for giving me this precious opportunity. I will cherish it."
Li Rui frowned. He felt that Zhang Jianguo was a bit of a bootlicker. He was good at taking advantage of the situation and flattering. However, this was not a big problem, as long as he did not go overboard. In the officialdom, which cadre could maintain a straight face when flattering their superiors? As long as there was no problem with his work, it was fine. Li Rui said, "Let's walk around the building first and see if there are any problems with the administrative windows."
