Mayor Chen blushed and said, "He … he promised me that if the mayor is transferred away, he will recommend me to the leaders of the county and the organization to take over the mayor's position."
"Ha, what a great benefit!"
Li Rui laughed and said, "Yang Xu really knows how to win people's hearts! But have you considered that with your knowledge, ability, character, and morals, even if the mayor's position is vacant, are you qualified to take over? "
Mayor Chen said, "No … I'm not qualified. County Magistrate Li, I'm sorry to you, and I'm also sorry to the leaders of the county and the organization. But I've already recognized my mistakes. Please give me a chance to change."
Li Rui said coldly, "If you make a mistake, you have to be punished. If everyone can get a chance to change their mistakes, then what's the use of the Commission for Discipline Inspection? Let me ask you one last question. What you did with Yang Xu completely bypassed the mayor, didn't you? He didn't participate in the whole process? "
Mayor Chen seemed to have foreseen his sad ending. He looked like he was about to cry and pity himself. He shook his head and said, "No, the mayor and Secretary Yang don't see eye to eye. He never cared about Secretary Yang's matters, but he also didn't expose him. 【31
Quick! "
Li Rui waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go out and call the mayor in. Then wait for the investigation. Considering that you took the initiative to confess, you will be dealt with lightly. "
Hearing this, Mayor Chen regained some vitality. He thanked Li Mu and walked out of the room with his head down.
The mayor quickly walked into the room. He was the third and last official that Li Rui met in Liqing Town this afternoon. As for Yang Xu, Li Rui didn't plan to see him. He would leave him to the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
"County Magistrate Li, are you looking for me?"
Li Rui looked at the Magistrate of Liqing Town in front of him and saw that he was around 40 years old. His face was lean, he was dressed properly, and his hair was combed neatly. He had the demeanor of a government official. After looking at him, he sneered in his heart and said sarcastically, "As a Magistrate, you are very careful with your appearance. But look at how messy Liqing Town has become under your management."
Being ridiculed in front of his face, the mayor felt a little embarrassed. Half of his face turned red, and he said hesitantly, "County Magistrate Li, what are you talking about?"
Li Rui said, "The villagers of Xiliqing Village went to your town government to complain!"
The mayor calmed down when he heard this. He said calmly, "County Magistrate Li, this has nothing to do with me. Comrade Yang Xu is in charge of this matter. Mayor Chen is in charge of our town government. I've been busy recently. I've been busy with my own affairs and didn't intervene."
Li Rui sighed and said with dissatisfaction, "Do you think that you won't have any responsibility by saying that you have nothing to do with this matter?"
The mayor felt wronged and said, "Is it my responsibility? When I first learned about this matter, I wanted to take responsibility for it, but Comrade Yang Xu directly took over and told me not to worry about it. So I couldn't do anything about it. If I did, it would cause a waste of manpower, so I naturally got busy with my own work. County Magistrate Li, to be honest, if I was in charge of this matter, I would have handled it from the beginning to the end. There wouldn't be any problems. If there were problems, I would take all the responsibility. But I'm not in charge of this matter. The Secretary has already said that I don't need to do anything. If there are problems, I shouldn't be responsible. "
Li Rui said, "If you were an ordinary official, no one would blame you even if you didn't do anything. But you are the mayor. You are the mayor. You are the mayor of Liqing Town. You are the representative chosen by the tens of thousands of people in Liqing Town to serve them. You are their representative! Everything that happens in Liqing Town is something that you can't take care of. You don't need to take care of it. You shouldn't take care of it. Even if you are not in charge of anything, you should at least pay attention to it. Of course, it's best if it's solved smoothly. If it's not, then you need to intervene. You should intervene because you have to be responsible for the people of Liqing Town. You have to be responsible for yourself. You have to be worthy of your title as the mayor! "
The mayor's face flushed red at his words, and the indignation slowly dissipated from his face.
Li Rui continued, "Mayor, mayor, mayor, when there are problems in the town, who doesn't want you to take responsibility? You said that this matter was taken over by Yang Xu. He told you not to take care of it. You can ignore it, but you have to pay attention to it. In the end, he messed up the matter and caused a big problem. Because you completely ignored it, you didn't report it to your superiors in time. This caused the situation to worsen. There was even a modern phenomenon of villagers blocking the sedan chair to cry out for justice. In the new era and new society, there is a reenactment of the feudal dynasty. It's a great shame. You still have the face to say that you don't take responsibility? "
The mayor's face was full of regret. He said frankly, "I was wrong, County Magistrate Li. I … I actually paid attention to it …"
Li Rui was slightly surprised. But when he recalled what Mayor Chen said before, he immediately understood. He said, "So it's like this. You don't see eye to eye with Yang Xu. You can't wait for the matter he took over to become bigger and bigger. When the county pays attention to this matter, Yang Xu will be in trouble. Then you can vent your anger. You even want to take this opportunity to make Yang Xu lose his position. In that way, you can go one step further and become the secretary of the Town Committee, right?"
The mayor was shocked. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, absolutely not. I definitely don't want to go one step further. I just want to vent my anger and see Yang Xu suffer … Just now, after listening to County Magistrate Li's lecture, I realized how childish, stupid, and ridiculous my idea was. I don't deserve to be the mayor. I also failed to live up to the expectations of the people in this town. I seriously neglected my duty. I … I'm willing to accept any punishment from the organization."
Li Rui sighed. He didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in this matter. If he didn't talk to the mayor today, he was afraid that he would never know this little secret. Alas, it was really a pot of messy porridge. He said, "It's very good that you admit your mistakes. But I will still tell the county magistrate the truth. You have to be mentally prepared to accept the punishment. At the same time, you have to remember this lesson deeply and strengthen the ideological construction. I hope you can be a qualified and responsible mayor in the future."
After returning to the county government, Li Rui immediately found Bo Yubing and reported to her all the findings of today's investigation.
After listening to him, Bo Yubing looked at him with a complicated expression. There was admiration on her face, but there was also jealousy. After looking at him for a while, the expression on her face slowly disappeared. She asked, "Since you have already investigated clearly, how do you think we should deal with the officers involved in this case?"
Li Rui was startled and said, "How to deal with it is the Commission for Discipline Inspection. I have already done what you asked me to do. Can I get off work now? I still have to go back to the city. "
Bo Yubing raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to go home? Is your wife rushing you? " After saying this, he realized that he had said something inappropriate. He quickly changed the topic and said, "It's only three o 'clock. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"No, I have dinner tonight … I'm not in a hurry. Isn't there nothing to do?"
Bo Yubing rolled her eyes and said, "Who said there is nothing to do? Do you still remember the night before you left for Guangzhou, you saw the deputy mayor of Xiaoyi town, Zhang Wenqi, who came to the guest house to complain to me? He reported the secretary of Xiaoyi town, Wang Fuqiang. "
Li Rui didn't need to think to remember this matter. He nodded and said, "I remember. What about it?"
Bo Yubing said, "I told Fang Qingyun about this matter. After all, he is in charge of people and I am in charge of things. However, he didn't pay much attention to Wang Fuqiang's violation of rules and regulations. Instead, he criticized Zhang Wenqi's inappropriate behavior in private at night. He said that Zhang Wenqi was using his position to avenge private wrongs. He also warned me to be careful of being used by him."
"And then?"
Bo Yubing slowly shook her head and said with a lonely expression, "And then there is no 'and then'. I talked to him because I wanted him to talk to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and let the Commission for Discipline Inspection investigate Wang Fuqiang. But from what he said, I thought too much. " She paused and looked at him and said, "You came to the county earlier than me. Are you familiar with Wang Fuqiang's background? Is he Fang Qingyun's man? If that's the case, then Fang Qingyun's reaction is understandable. "
Li Rui said, "I heard about Wang Fuqiang at the same time as you. Do you think I'm familiar with him?"
Bo Yubing was silent for a while. She looked at the table and said, "It's fine if I didn't know about this matter. But now that I know, I have to investigate it thoroughly. Even if I don't do Zhang Wenqi a favor, at least I won't let myself down. After I investigate it thoroughly and verify that Zhang Wenqi's report is true, I will look for Fang Qingyun to reason with him. "
Li Ruixin's head suddenly jerked. He said, "If you really do that, it will be tantamount to slapping Fang Qingyun in the face. You may have a conflict with him and cause the two of you to oppose each other. It won't be good for your work in the future."
Bo Yubing sneered and said, "I don't care about a small Fang Qingyun. So what if I have a conflict with him? If he dares to obstruct my work, I don't mind removing him. " She then looked at him and said, "The reason I'm telling you this is so that you can prepare yourself in advance. I don't want to scare you when I have a falling out with Fang Qingyun in the future."
"Do you think I'm that timid? Why would I be scared? "
Li Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head. This female county head was quite interesting. She used this method to express that she treated him as one of her own. If she didn't say the second half of the sentence, would he not know how close she was to him? He thought for a while and said, "Fang Qingyun's actions have been a bit excessive recently. She doesn't act like a county head. In order to rely on Mayor Yu Heping, she didn't hesitate to sacrifice the county's interests …"
Bo Yubing's pretty face became serious. She said, "I almost forgot about this. Fang Qingyun hasn't told me about this yet. Obviously, she wants to catch me off guard during the meeting of the Standing Committee. Then, she will suppress me with the number of votes. She won't even give me a chance to express my opinion. She's going too far."
Li Rui said, "That's why we can't let them form an alliance."
