Chapter 237: The County Magistrate's Private Banquet
"It's convenient, of course it's convenient!" Director He replied enthusiastically after reacting.
Ouyang Lan didn't like to deal with this kind of pervert the most, but now that she needed to handle the case, she had no choice but to greet her with a smile: "Or, take us to check it now, right?"
Director He also stood up and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can on the side, and there was an ashtray on the table next to him.
"Okay, let's go to my office now. Director He patted his ass and took Ouyang Lan and the others to his office.
His office is larger than a living room, but it has only a bookshelf, a desk, a row of chairs, and a coffee table, which makes it seem relatively empty in such a large office. There was also an inner room in the office, which looked like a small room, with the door closed.
The whole office smelled of smoke.
Walking into the office, Director He picked up his mobile phone and made a call, and after a while, a beautiful girl about thirty came in, the girl was dressed very exquisitely, although she was wearing a work clothes, but she still couldn't wrap up the strong smell of wind and dust.
Director He introduced to everyone: "This is my secretary Xiao Wu, who has been with me for eight years. ”
In the verbal expression, it seems to be quite proud, you see, even the county magistrate doesn't have a secretary, I have, hum~
Ouyang Lan and the others only nodded after Director He's introduction, and then Director He asked Xiao Wu to check the demolition of the cemetery two years ago.
Xiao Wu took out a stack of materials from the bookshelf behind him, and crackled on the computer to operate, don't look at this Xiao Wu looks quite dusty, his business ability is okay, and he found it in less than five minutes.
Xiao Wu said while looking at the computer screen: "Two years ago, we had a total of 35 cemeteries in Ningzhou County relocated. ”
35 cemeteries, if you want to investigate them one by one, the amount of work is also quite large, so Ouyang Lan recalled it according to Zhang Mintao's account, and then added: "If you look at the second half of the year, it will probably be in November." ”
Xiao Wu entered the time range, ruled out a large number of unwanted results, and there were only 5 cemeteries left on the screen.
"Five cemeteries were relocated in November. ”
"Xiao Wu, can you please help me print a copy of the names and locations of these 5 places?"
Xiao Wu looked at Director He and asked him for advice, Director He nodded, so Xiao Wu printed a copy for Ouyang Lan.
There are only 5 investigation locations, such a targeted investigation is very efficient, Ouyang Lan took this information, very happy, she said gratefully: "Thank you Xiao Wu, thank you Director He!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome, Officer Ouyang. Director He felt that the credit was huge, so he proposed to invite everyone to have a meal together, and it happened that the county magistrate had not come back yet, so he could do it alone.
But Ouyang Lan and the others didn't want to have too much contact with Director He, so they politely refused: "Director He, we still have to go to the cemetery to investigate, and the time is urgent, so we won't stay longer, we understand your kindness." ”
Director He already knew that he would get such an answer, and continued to smile and said, "Officer Ouyang, you go to the cemetery now, it's getting dark, why don't you just rest and wait for tomorrow morning to investigate?"
"Yes, let's investigate tomorrow, I'll be a treat tonight, I hope the friends of the city bureau can appreciate their faces. Everyone looked at the door and saw Chang Ming walking in with a smile.
Chang Ming's sudden arrival disrupted Director He's plan, and also disrupted the plan of Ouyang Lan and others. Director He secretly scolded in his heart, this little county magistrate will not come early or late, but he will come back at this time. But it's not too bad, at least the county magistrate can keep this female police officer.
Ouyang Lan and the others were originally going to refuse Director He, after all, he was only a deputy section-level cadre, and the invitation of the county magistrate was not easy to refuse. So Ouyang Lan hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement: "Okay, since County Magistrate Chang has been kindly invited, we will stay here for one night and go to investigate the case early tomorrow morning." ”
Chang Ming was very happy to be able to invite guests from the city, which is not often the case in this poor county.
"Okay, then please come with me to the dining place. ”
"County Magistrate Chang, do you want to call some more people? A few of them are guests from the city, and we should welcome them ceremoniously. Director He walked up to Chang Ming and whispered.
Chang Ming thought for a while and said, "Okay, you call a few deputy county magistrates." ”
The corners of Director He's mouth raised an imperceptible smile.
Under the leadership of Chang Ming, everyone came to a restaurant called "Shanshui Building", which looked quite large, it was a small farmhouse courtyard, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding buildings. According to Chang Ming, this Shanshuilou Hotel is one of the most distinctive, delicious and luxurious hotels in Ningzhou County, but unlike other high-end hotels, the price here is very affordable, and accommodation is also provided.
Ouyang Lan listened to the introduction while watching the environment here, the characteristics are quite distinctive, the delicacy is not known, the so-called most luxurious, in Jiangxia City, it can only be regarded as an ordinary hotel. But everything here is in Chang Ming's eyes, and he can see that he is very proud and looking forward to it, and he is full of care.
The front desk lady of the hotel saw that the county magistrate had personally brought the guests to the reception, and hurriedly ran over to receive them: "Hello county magistrate Chang! Hello Director He! ”
Chang Ming nodded at her and said, "Yes, is there a private room?"
Ouyang Lan thought to himself, in the entire Ningzhou County, you are more than 10,000 people under one person, and you still ask if there is a private room? Is there no special private room? This is a question that ordinary people will have, but this young county magistrate doesn't know if he is really so close to the people or if he is acting on the spot.
The front desk lady replied with a smile: "Yes, our manager is upstairs, I will call him to come and entertain you." ”
Ordinary people will feel flustered and restrained when they see the county magistrate, but this front desk lady can't see these states at all, it seems that this county magistrate Chang is very familiar with the people here.
Seeing that the front desk lady was about to run upstairs, Chang Ming immediately stopped him: "No, no, we can come by ourselves." ”
"Oh good. The front desk lady came back and led everyone to the private room.
This private room is a separate room, located in the backyard of the hotel, with a large round table that can seat 20 people, and the four walls around the private room are decorated with vine leaves, and a circle of black brackets is full of small potted plants.
After taking a seat, the front desk lady handed the menu to Chang Ming and asked casually: "County Magistrate Chang, you haven't come here to eat for a long time, is it a ...... this time?"
Before he finished speaking, Chang Ming waved his hand and said: "Today's banquet is not a government need, it has nothing to do with the county government, it is my private banquet for my guests, and I will pay for it myself." ”
"Okay. The front desk lady seemed to be very calm and normal, and it seemed that she was used to the operation of the county magistrate Chang, but this surprised Ouyang Lan and the others. Although it is said that government officials need to distinguish between public and private, it is too common in today's society to have a banquet account, whether it is a company, a public institution or a government agency, but it is very rare to have a clear distinction between public and private.
Regardless of whether this county magistrate Chang was acting on the spot or not, at least this move made Ouyang Lan a little impressed. She cast an approving glance at Chang Ming, but Chang Ming smiled a little embarrassedly.
As soon as I finished ordering, four middle-aged men came in at the door, all of whom were older than Chang Ming. These four people seemed to have walked into their own home, and when they came in, they greeted the people in the box loudly, and one detail was that after they came in, they first greeted Director He who was sitting on the left side of Chang Ming, not Chang Ming, the county magistrate and the host of this banquet, it seems that they don't pay much attention to this county magistrate who is much younger than themselves.
One of them, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a big belly, glanced at the people in the city bureau, and finally stopped at Ouyang Lan's body.
"Where did you get such a decent girl?" he asked, half-jokingly, half-seriously.
After they came in, although Chang Ming still had a smile on his face, he obviously didn't have the happy state he had before, and after hearing such a frivolous and tacky question, he said unhappily: "Deputy County Magistrate Li, they are my guests, please guarantee at least respect." ”
"Oh, it's a guest of County Magistrate Chang, I'm sorry, I'm rude, I'm sorry, hahaha. Deputy County Magistrate Li laughed loudly while apologizing, without the slightest sincerity.
Ouyang Lan was even more angry, if she was under the river, she would have slapped the table and exploded, but this is someone's territory, and she also has to save face for the county magistrate Chang, so she just kept silent.
At this time, Director He stood up to support the situation, and he introduced to Ouyang Lan: "Officer Ouyang, this is our deputy county magistrate Li of Ningzhou County, who usually likes to joke, and the other three are Deputy County Magistrate Wang, Deputy County Magistrate Zhang, and Deputy County Magistrate Cong. ”
Ouyang Lan squeezed out a hint of an embarrassed smile and nodded at them, which was regarded as respect, but these so-called deputy county magistrates who were full of anger, she really didn't want to take a second look.
This dinner is very interesting, half of the table is from the county government, half of the table is from the city bureau, Ouyang Lan and others, as guests, are not very open, only responsible for eating, and occasionally pick up their topics. As the host, these county government officials were very active, chatting endlessly, the topic changed from the work at the beginning to the later eating, drinking and having fun, the deputy county magistrate Li also said a few meat jokes from time to time, and did not forget to glance at Ouyang Lan a few times after speaking, it was obvious that he was teasing others.
Several other male policemen in the city bureau couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to shoot the case, but they were stopped by Ouyang Lan with his eyes, and came out to handle the case, there was no need to make extraneous branches, give the county magistrate Chang a face, finish the meal, go back to the room to rest, handle the case early tomorrow morning, and go back, there is no intersection with these sanctimonious deputy county magistrates, bear with it.
Ouyang Lan was also surprised, she had always been straightforward, but today she suddenly became much calmer and more restrained, she looked at these colleagues around her, all of them were younger than herself, and realized that she really needed such a mature and steady person.
