After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

"Comrade Lu An, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Lin Kuifan stepped forward enthusiastically and shook Lu An's hand vigorously. The county magistrate, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and other Pingjiang cadres beside him either smiled or clapped their hands. Under the reflection of the big red lanterns above their heads, it was as festive as if it was New Year's Day.

Compared with the enthusiasm of the county party committee cadres, Lu An just responded indifferently that he had already felt the enthusiasm of his hometown, and then introduced Mu Qinghong to Lin Kuifan: "This is Mu Qinghong, my friend in Pingjiang."

Lin Kuifan immediately praised: "I have heard that the beauties of the South are unique. Today, we are able to meet Comrade Mu Qinghong, and we can also appreciate the elegance of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao thousands of years ago!"

Mu Qinghong had never seen such a scene before. She stood there in a daze. It was not until Lu An pulled her that she suddenly realized what was happening. Then she carefully stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Kuifan and said, "Secretary, you are too kind. I am not as good as you say. Secretary, you are our parent official."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Kuifan turned back to Lu An and said, "The county is ready. Please come in and take a seat, Team Leader Lu."

Afterwards, Lin Kuifan, along with the county cadres, surrounded Lu An and Mu Qinghong and walked into the hotel like the moon surrounded by stars.

Lu An gently patted the back of Mu Qinghong's hand, telling her not to be so nervous.

But it was of no use. Facing these county leaders, Mu Qinghong was like a frightened little rabbit. She hugged Lu An's arm tightly with such force that it seemed as if she wanted to pull Lu An's sleeve off.

Finally they arrived at the private room of the hotel. Mu Qinghong pulled Lu An to sit down together. She still seemed a little frightened, but at the same time she admired Lu An very much.

"Lu An, you are worthy of being a college student. Unlike me, I am scared to death by so many leaders. If you were not here, I would not be able to speak clearly." Mu Qinghong said in a low voice, her voice still a little weak and trembling.

Lu An smiled and said, "Sister Hong did a great job."

Lu An was not trying to comfort her. You have to know that Mu Qinghong had been a minority in the county for the past 20 years. In her eyes, a second-rate joint defense team leader was a great official. Now, facing this group of secretaries and county governors, her performance was already better than most people.

A menu was handed to Lu An, and Lin Kuifan asked with a smile: "I wonder if Team Leader Lu has any dietary restrictions? And this lady, we still have to respect the wishes of female comrades."

The old ones are still the most experienced. She pulled Mu Qinghong out and shut Lu An up with just one sentence. As long as Mu Qinghong ordered some food, Lu An would feel guilty about it, and it would be easy for him to talk about anything afterwards.

Understanding what Secretary Lin meant, Lu An smiled and made his own response.

Lu An handed the menu to Mu Qinghong: "Sister Hong, please order whatever you want. This is the compensation from the county, so don't be polite."

Lin Kuifan's eyes suddenly lit up: The comrades in this province are really sensible.

He waved his big hand with a smile: "That's right, it's like being at home here, you can eat whatever you want, don't be polite!"

But having said that, Mu Qinghong still couldn't let go and only carefully ordered a serving of vegetables. In the end, Lu An took the menu and checked it, adding squirrel mandarin fish and a few seafood dishes.

Lin Kuifan praised Lu An's vision and told Mu Qinghong: "The comrades in the province still have a good vision. To be frank, in Pingjiang, only Pingcheng Restaurant can eat seafood!"

The door of the box opened, and Zhao Hu, Zhang Long and others walked in. They were stunned to see the box full of leaders, as well as the graceful Mu Qinghong next to Lu An, and then brought them over to sit next to Lu An. Only Zhao Hu walked to Lu An and asked what was going on.

Lu An told him not to think too much: "It's just a welcoming banquet given to us by the county. Just be at ease and enjoy the meal."

Lu An also introduced: "This is Sister Mu Qinghonghong, my friend in Pingjiang."

Zhao Hu was very smart. He knew from one sentence that something must have happened that he didn't know about, so he immediately suggested: "Team leader, this may be a good opportunity for us. As long as we can do a good job at this welcoming banquet and win Lin Kuifan's support for our work, we can successfully handle the case as soon as possible."

Lu An nodded: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

When everyone was seated, Lin Kuifan was the first to raise his glass and welcome the comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection on behalf of the Pingjiang County Party Committee.

"I heard that this time, Team Leader Lu An is from Pingjiang, which further proves that Pingjiang is a place of great feng shui and outstanding people! Today, the county committee has prepared this table of hometown dishes for Team Leader Lu An and the comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. We also have comrades from the county committee, county government, county people's congress, and county political consultative conference to accompany us. I hope everyone will eat and drink well. I propose that we raise a toast together for the comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection!"

After an official opening, Lin Kuifan handed the right to speak to Lu An. However, Lu An's first sentence surprised everyone.

"Originally, I should say thank you to all the comrades of the Pingjiang County Party Committee, thank you to Secretary Lin and everyone for your hospitality. As guests who have come from afar, we should follow the host's wishes. But I don't want to say that. What I want to say is that I am very disappointed!"

Everyone was stunned by the words "very disappointed". No one expected that in this official drinking party that should have been full of joy, Team Leader Lu would actually say such a thing.

Everyone was holding the wine glass, not knowing whether to drink or put it down, as if the glass in their hand had become a hot potato in an instant.

Zhao Hu and his companions were even more dumbfounded. They had no idea what this gentleman was going to do.

Lu An gently put down his glass and said, "I was a student who had just graduated and entered the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Because of my good luck, I was valued by the leaders and was appointed by the leadership team to thoroughly investigate the corruption case of Wei Dezheng, deputy director of Pingjiang Jianye Bureau. It's shocking, shocking, comrades!"

Lu An knocked on the table vigorously: "I am the son of a farmer. I also came from the rural area of ​​Pingjiang. There are still hundreds of thousands of poor farmers in Pingjiang. Their villages don't even have a decent road. Every time they want to build a road, they say there is no money. Where does the money go?"

"Wei Dezheng, a small deputy director of the Jianye Bureau, can actually accept at least 200,000 bribes every month and give his daughter a dowry of one million just by opening his mouth."

"I don't know how much the salaries of all the comrades here are. Anyway, I only have 103 yuan. In other words, I have to go without food and drink for more than 800 years and start working since the time of Qin Hui in the Southern Song Dynasty to get this one million yuan by now!"

"This is only the information we have so far. According to Wei Dezheng's confession, he also has a partnership fee that he has hidden and transferred to other accounts. We haven't verified it yet, and I'm afraid the number will be even more shocking!"

"Comrades, I feel very heavy. It seems that as soon as I close my eyes, I can see the earnest expectations of the villagers. If I fail to handle this case well, I will not be able to explain to the elders and villagers."

Lu An also tapped the wine glass on the table: "I can't drink this glass of wine before the case is closed!"
