The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Next to Zhao Hongsheng's office, Qin Yang was smilingly pouring tea for Lin Zhiyuan. There was none of the tense atmosphere that should be expected from an inquiry by the Discipline Inspection Commission.

"Assistant Lin, try it. This is the rock tea produced in my hometown, Hujian. Although it is not very famous, it tastes very good, sweet and fragrant, with a long aftertaste."

Lin Zhiyuan and Qin Yang are not familiar with each other. He spent most of last year traveling outside, first in western Jiangxi and then back to Donghai. Qin Yang was transferred to the large-scale working committee only at the end of last year. The two had only met a few times.

Lin Zhiyuan originally thought that Qin Yang would be rather cold towards him, but he did not expect that Deputy Secretary Qin always greeted him with a smile and was very enthusiastic, which surprised Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhiyuan took a sip of the tea and praised it pretentiously, "It tastes good right away. Is Deputy Secretary Qin from Hujian? As far as I know, Hujian rock tea is very famous. Dahongpao is a kind of rock tea, right?"

Qin Yang smiled and waved his hand, "Da Hong Pao is a top-grade rock tea. Mine is produced in my own tea mountain. It is indeed not very famous, but it is better in terms of original flavor and ecology."

"Does Deputy Secretary Qin have a tea plantation at home?" Lin Zhiyuan took a look at Qin Yang's clothes. He didn't expect that such a rich second generation was hidden in such a large working committee.

Qin Yang smiled again. He seemed to have guessed what Lin Zhiyuan was thinking. "Assistant Lin, don't get me wrong. My family is not well off. My parents are tea farmers. The so-called tea mountain is just a small hill. It doesn't produce much tea in a year. Tea farmers have a hard life. They need to work all year round, picking, selecting, frying, weeding, pest control, and fertilizing. Ever since I can remember, I have always seen my parents and elders busy and busy. My parents worked hard to send me to college, hoping that I would not follow their old path."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't know why Qin Yang said this to him. It was obvious that he was just a stranger to him. "Deputy Secretary Qin must have done very well in his studies to be able to work in Yanjing."

"Fortunately, I am considered outstanding in our county. I ranked third in the college entrance examination that year. I was admitted to the University of Political Science and Law, and then I went to graduate school. I finally got out of the farming family..." Qin Yang talked about this and that, without asking a single word about the matter. Finally, Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help it, "Deputy Secretary Qin, can we start now? What if the leader wants to see the transcript later?"

"Okay, okay!" Qin Yang put down his teacup and took out his notebook. "Assistant Lin, in fact, during the two days when you were away, we have already done some investigation and have a general understanding of the situation. However, this is a task assigned by the leader. Please forgive me, Assistant Lin. I will now ask questions."

Qin Yang did not ask those repetitive questions, but directly asked how many gifts Ganxi provided? How much were these gifts worth? Who were they given to?

Lin Zhiyuan answered the first two questions truthfully, and he even went back to his office to hand the gift list from Ganxi to Qin Yang. But when it came to the last question, Lin Zhiyuan avoided the question and was determined not to reveal to whom all the gifts were given in the end.

Qin Yang put down his notebook and said to Lin Zhiyuan seriously, "Assistant Lin, I know your concerns. In fact, when we were investigating earlier, some leaders had already admitted to us that they had accepted gifts."

Seeing that Lin Zhiyuan was still indifferent, he took another step forward, "Assistant Lin, it is impossible for you to receive so many gifts by yourself. If you distribute them to everyone, it is not a big mistake. But if you take it all by yourself, it will be a big deal."

Lin Zhiyuan still smiled but said nothing.

Just as Qin Yang was about to persuade Lin Zhiyuan further, the phone on the table rang. It was Zhao Hongsheng.

"Deputy Secretary Qin, you and Assistant Lin come to my office."

Qin Yang had to stop questioning and took Lin Zhiyuan to Zhao Hongsheng’s office next door.

Zhao Hongsheng expressed the opinions of Li Zhenshan and Song Shi just now. "Director Li and Deputy Secretary Song attach great importance to this matter and have decided to hold a meeting of all mid-level and above cadres of the committee tomorrow. Assistant Lin, you should prepare yourself. You need to make a self-criticism at the meeting tomorrow."

Zhao Hongsheng looked at Lin Zhiyuan and said, "Assistant Lin, don't worry about it. Director Li and Deputy Secretary Song have explained the situation very clearly. I can understand it."

"Okay, Secretary Zhao, Deputy Secretary Qin, if there is nothing else, I will go back and write a self-criticism." Lin Zhiyuan said goodbye and left.

Zhao Hongsheng stopped Qin Yang and said, "Deputy Secretary Qin, Director Li and Deputy Secretary Song have given us an important task from the Commission for Discipline Inspection, which is to prepare for tomorrow's meeting."

Qin Yang immediately expressed his opinion, "Secretary Zhao, don't worry, I will lead people to set up the venue now."

"Let the people below handle such trivial matters as setting up the venue. There is a more difficult task that needs you to handle." Zhao Hongsheng stared at Qin Yang's eyes. "Director Li just said that accepting gifts from local governments or enterprises has become an unspoken rule of large-scale working committees. Comrade Lin Zhiyuan's incident has sounded the alarm for us. The whole committee must attach great importance to it. Therefore, Director Li has decided that all middle-level cadres who have accepted gifts from Ganxi must return the gifts. If they have already been used, they must be returned at a discounted cash price. You will handle this matter personally."

Qin Yang smiled bitterly when he heard this. "Secretary Zhao, the problem is that Comrade Lin Zhiyuan didn't provide a specific list just now. There are so many middle-level cadres in the large-scale working committee. Do I have to ask them one by one?"

"Call them one by one and ask them to come to the Discipline Inspection Commission to accept questioning. It's not a big deal. I believe they will understand." Zhao Hongsheng made the decision directly.

No matter how unwilling Qin Yang was, there was nothing he could do. After he returned to the office and closed the door, his eyes instantly turned cold.

This Lin Zhiyuan is really slippery! No matter how I ask, he just won't provide a specific list of gifts. As a result, things have come full circle, and the most offensive job has fallen on my head. Isn't this just shooting myself in the foot?

Qin Yang sighed and had to pick up the phone to call the middle-level cadres one by one, informing them to go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to explain the situation.

******

Lin Zhiyuan returned to his office, and Zhou Bosi immediately made a cup of tea and brought it to him.

Seeing the young man hesitate to speak, Lin Zhiyuan knew that he was worried about him, so he smiled at him and said, "I just came back from the Discipline Inspection Commission. I have to make a self-criticism at the meeting tomorrow."

Zhou Bosi let out a long sigh of relief. If he wrote a self-criticism, it meant that there would be no more serious punishment. A smile appeared on his face. "Assistant Lin, I will go write a self-criticism now and show it to you later."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hand, "No, that won't do. You can write the other written materials, but I have to do the review myself. This is a matter of attitude."

Lin Zhiyuan spread out a pen and paper, ready to write a soul-touching self-criticism.

But just as he finished writing the three words of his self-criticism, there was a knock on the door.
