In the past, if it was Zhong Ping who called, Fan Yuegang would just say a few polite words and then do what he could if the other party asked him to do. He would not be as enthusiastic as he is today. There was nothing he could do about it, because he also needed help.

"Haha, Director Zhong, don't be polite. We are all revolutionary comrades. In the war years, our feelings are worth our lives. How about it, what kind of troubles are you having? You might as well tell me about them. Maybe I can help you share some of them." Fan Yuegang cursed Zhong Ping in his heart, saying that he was an old fox. He talked for a long time without getting to the point and insisted on bringing it up on his own initiative. He was really the kind of person who wanted to get things done but didn't want to put in the effort. He was often the most annoyed by such people, but at this moment and place, he really couldn't show it.

"Oh, since County Magistrate Fan said so, I will tell him about my troubles. But now that I have spoken, I hope County Magistrate Fan will not reject my kindness, otherwise I will be embarrassed." Zhong Ping seemed to feel that Fan Yuegang was different from before. To be honest, he had come into contact with this Fan Yuegang before. That was when the Municipal Bureau came to Qiu County Gold Mine to inspect the public security situation. He led the team once and he even had a drink with him twice. However, that was just a symbolic official exchange and could not be regarded as a personal friendship.

In this kind of relationship, Fan Yuegang didn't need to be so enthusiastic towards him, but today he was so enthusiastic, which could only mean that he also had something to rely on him. If that was the case, then his worries today would definitely be easily solved.

"Haha, of course I won't refuse Director Zhong's request. As the saying goes, courtesy comes in return. I helped Director Zhong, and I also hope that you can speak for me on some matters." Fan Yuegang laughed and expressed his intention to ask the other party for help. Since he made it so clear that if he opened his mouth, he would have to agree, why not tell him his problem now? When else?

Zhong Ping was also a smart man. He had guessed something just now. When he heard Fan Yuegang speak directly, he had a clue in his mind. He laughed and said, "No problem, no problem. Revolutionary comrades should help each other. Help each other."

"Okay, Director Zhong is straightforward. Come on, tell me first. Is there anything you need me, Fan Yuegang, to help you with? As long as I can do it, nothing will be a problem." Fan Yuegang was happy to hear that Zhong Ping understood what he meant and made a promise, and he spoke much more frankly.

"Well, the situation is like this. I have an old comrade-in-arms who invited me for a drink last night, and then made an unreasonable request, which was that he hoped I could arrange for his son to work in your Qiu County gold mine. His son was also a soldier and has good qualities. He wants to go to the gold mine to be a security captain. Haha, originally, I would not agree to such a thing casually, but since my old comrade-in-arms has asked, I really don’t know how to refuse, so I thought of asking County Magistrate Fan if he could help?" Seeing that he had said all the polite words he needed to say, Zhong Ping directly stated the purpose of his call.

Fan Yuegang had previously wondered what Zhong Ping meant by calling him, and that he would ask for a lot of money. But now that he heard that the other party's request was not very high, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Oh, Director Zhong, it's just a small matter. Okay, you can ask him to come over. I'll do it right away. It's just a security captain. If Director Zhong is willing, I may give you five or six such positions, and they will all be full-time captains. What do you think?"

Fan Yuegang weighed the request made by Zhong Ping. He felt that this small request might not be enough to get him to speak for Wu Shiyou. So he increased the bargaining chips to reward the other party again, in order to make Zhong Ping willing to do his best on Wu Shiyou's issue.

"Oh, County Magistrate Fan, are you serious?" Zhong Ping really didn't expect Fan Yuegang to be so generous. Not only did he agree to his request, but he also gave him five or six more places. He had too many relatives to take care of. If this thing could work, it would mean that he solved the employment problem of five or six people at once. And since he was the captain of the security team, the reward would definitely not be too little. This was a good job. Thinking that a big pie really fell from the sky, how could he not be happy.

"Of course, how could I speak so freely in front of Director Zhong?"

"Haha, that's great. To be honest, being an official in the city is much more complicated than in the county. There are too many people you have to take care of. Once you give me these five or six places, it will really play a big role." Zhong Ping said happily after hearing that Fan Yue had settled the matter so easily.

"Haha, in fact, officials always have worries. For example, some things make me very upset." Seeing that the time was almost right, Fan Yuegang began to put forward his request.

Zhong Ping was not surprised at all when he heard Fan Yuegang say this, because in his opinion, since Fan Yuegang agreed to his request so readily and promised so much, he must have something to ask of him. But what he was wondering now was what kind of conditions the other party would put forward. He must not ask for too much, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to accept it.

"Yes, every official has his own worries. Since County Magistrate Fan helped me solve the trouble, you might as well tell me what's bothering you. Maybe I can really give you some advice." Zhong Ping did not directly say how capable he was and what he could do, but only offered some advice. In this way, if he could not solve the problem raised by others later, he would have a way out.

"Actually, the matter is not very big. It's nothing more than a problem with Wu Shiyou, the secretary of our county's Political and Legal Affairs Committee and the director of the Public Security Bureau. Well, Wu Shiyou can be considered as your subordinate. You say that a dignified member of the county party committee and the county public security bureau chief was suspended by Feng Sizhe because of a tiny matter. Now our Qiu County Public Security Bureau is in a state of unrest. No one has made up their minds about their careers. Everyone is worried about whether they will have such an experience at some point. How do you think we can continue this work?" Fan Yue had just given Zhong Ping so many benefits, and now he finally told Zhong Ping what he wanted, and cited the fact that Wu Shiyou was also a public security officer to ask Zhong Ping for help.

Zhong Ping knew Feng Sizhe very well, because he knew exactly what kind of person he was, and he had dealt with him more than once, and each time he didn't get any advantage. Now that he heard that Feng Sizhe was getting in the way again, he said indignantly, "Ah, this Feng Sizhe, what on earth does he want to do? He can't just arbitrarily fire his comrade just because he is the county party secretary and in charge of the county's personnel power. He is also a member of the county party committee standing committee and the secretary of the political and legal committee. This is too outrageous."

Zhong Ping expressed his dissatisfaction there, which made Fan Yuegang very happy to hear.

Fan Yuegang had heard someone mention that Zhong Ping and Feng Sizhe were not on good terms, and now it seemed to be true. He thought that if Zhong Ping could help the city, he could come forward to mention the issue of Wu Shiyou's reinstatement, and then it would be entirely possible to bypass Feng Sizhe and get his right arm back in place, and at the same time solve the problem between him and the Baide Gold Mine, which would be a good thing.

The more Fan Yuegang thought about it, the more excited he became. "Yes, Director Zhong is right. Then can you ask about this matter in the name of the Municipal Bureau? You know, Comrade Wu Shiyou is not only the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of our Qiu County, he is also the Director of the County Public Security Bureau. It is reasonable for you, as the superior leader of the Municipal Bureau, to ask about this matter, isn't it?"

"Well, I will look into this matter. Our Director Feng Xijun happened to go to the provincial government for a meeting. I think I can convene a standing committee meeting of the Municipal Bureau in the afternoon to discuss this matter." Zhong Ping did not hesitate at all to accept Fan Yuegang's request and agreed immediately.

It was really beyond Fan Yuegang's expectation that Zhong Ping would agree so readily. He thought that the other party would consider it no matter what. It was not because of anything else, but because his opponent was Feng Sizhe, a young man with energy, tricks and background.

But no matter what, since Zhong Ping agreed, this is definitely a good thing. I don’t believe that Feng Sizhe can handle it if the Municipal Bureau intervenes. You know, they are the ones in charge of the unit.

"Well, I'll thank Director Zhong on behalf of Comrade Wu Shiyou. When this matter is accomplished, I'll ask him to visit you in the city. Haha, Qiu County may not have anything else, but it still has some top-quality gold." In order to let Zhong Ping do his best to do this matter, Fan Yuegang put down more chips.

"Haha, County Magistrate Fan, you are too polite. We are all serving the people. Besides, I am just discussing the matter. How can a county not have a police chief? Comrade Feng Sizhe is talking nonsense. Regarding this matter, we are in the right if we take the case to the Municipal Party Committee. So, County Magistrate Fan, you can rest assured." Zhong Ping patted his chest and agreed to the matter.

Then why did Zhong Ping, who had suffered so much at the hands of Feng Sizhe, still rush forward on Wu Shiyou's matter and go against Feng Sizhe?

It was all because of one person, Yuan Sheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
