Zhou Youliang hesitated for a moment and said to He Ying: "Xiaoying, you know: in two or three months, Director Li will retire, and this is an opportunity for me to step up." However, the post of director of the county bureau was studied and appointed by the standing committee of the municipal party committee, and I did not have any strong backing in the leading body of the municipal party committee; although several leaders of the city bureau would fight for me, if the principal leaders of the municipal party committee did not support me, I would certainly not be able to compete with other comrades who wanted to be the head of the bureau.

"I'll tell you the truth: I've been looking for a relationship during this time, and I want to take the line of Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee, if Secretary Zhou can support me as the director of the county bureau, then I will have a clear advantage in the competition, and the chance of success will be greatly increased. However, among my friends who played well, none of them could have a relationship with Secretary Zhou, so I have been very anxious during this time, and I believe you can understand my feelings. ”

He Ying nodded and said, "I understand." At present, the cadres in the bureau have a lot of discussions about this matter, and there are all kinds of rumors. I have heard that Director Ou has already taken the line of Mayor Li Haiping, and Mayor Li has already greeted the Municipal Bureau, hoping that the Party Committee of the Municipal Bureau will recommend Director Ou to the Municipal Party Committee to take over as the leader of the Taolin County Bureau. In this case, you may be at a disadvantage in this competition. ”

Zhou Youliang nodded again and again and said, "That's right, that's right, your analysis is right." Because of this, today I want to ask you to do me a favor and find an opportunity to talk to Xiao Lu about me, and it is best to ask him to take me to meet Secretary Zhou, so that I can leave an impression in Secretary Zhou's mind, and then ask Xiao Lu to say a few good words to Secretary Zhou, and implore Secretary Zhou to suggest to the Party Committee of the Municipal Bureau that I take over the post of director of Taolin County. In this way, my weaknesses will turn into strengths. ”

He Ying rolled her eyes and responded very happily: "Okay, I'll call him out now to talk about this matter, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

Zhou Youliang was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked He Ying, and asked her to wait on the balcony, and he immediately went to invite Lu Tao out.

After only a moment, Lu Tao wiped his wet hands with a paper towel and walked through the guest room to the balcony.

He Ying instructed him to close the balcony door, then looked at him with a smile, and said in a mocking tone: "Xiao Luzi, you are bragging and blowing out trouble: Director Zhou heard that you are the son of Secretary Zhou's life-saving benefactor, and he regards you as a 'nobleman', and wants you to take him to Songshan to meet Secretary Zhou, and also ask you to say more good things for him in front of Secretary Zhou, and help him be promoted to the position of director of the county public security bureau." You have such an iron relationship with Secretary Zhou now, you must help him, he is my cousin and leader!"

Lu Tao had just drunk a few more glasses of wine, and he was a little dizzy, and when he saw He Ying's gloating expression, his head was hot, and he suddenly forgot to avoid it, and whispered in a joking tone: "Political Commissar He, don't you have a better relationship with Secretary Zhou? As long as you say hello to Secretary Zhou, the promotion of Director Zhou is not a word?"

As soon as the words came out, Lu Tao immediately regretted it: Why is he such a bastard? He Ying is obviously the most taboo about this matter, how can he say it with one mouth? Isn't this deliberately looking for scolding?

Sure enough, He Ying's pretty face suddenly fell, stared at him with wide apricot eyes, and whispered: "You bastard boy, what nonsense are you talking about? After pouring a few cups of horse urine, you don't know the east and the west, the north and the south? I told you a long time ago: I don't want to see him again in my life, do you have ears that grow to your back or do you remember being eaten by dogs? I warn you: Next time you mention my relationship with him again, be careful that my boss's ear scraper will stun you!"

Speaking of this, she waved her right palm and slashed a few times in front of Lu Tao, making a murderous expression, forcing Lu Tao to take a few steps back, and apologized with a wry smile: "Political Commissar He, I'm really sorry, I just drank a few more glasses, I'm a little drunk, and I won't dare to talk nonsense next time." ”

He Ying put down her palm and asked with a straight face, "Then can you help Director Zhou?"

"Help, I'll help. ”

At this moment, Li Tao suddenly pushed open the glass door and poked her head out, shouting at He Ying: "Yingying, what are you whispering, it's time to start the next show, Zhou Ju and Xiaoshu are waiting for you!"

He Ying scolded with a smile: "As long as you rotten peaches like to chew your tongue, what can I whisper with Xiao Luzi?

A few minutes later, Lu Tao and He Ying returned to the living room and saw that Li Tao and Su Lishu had already placed a square table in the center of the living room, with a thick mahjong cloth on the table and a mahjong box on it.

Lu Tao asked He Ying in a low voice in surprise: "Are you going to play mahjong?"

He Ying knew what he meant, smiled indifferently and said: "Do you think that our public security organs can't play mahjong? Mr. Liang Shiqiu has a famous saying: 'If you don't do boring things, how can you pass the life?' Playing mahjong can essentially be understood as a mass pastime and entertainment, as long as you don't use this method to make profits or gamble. You can rest assured, we are just a small mahjong player who plays two dollars and a shot, which does not belong to the category of gambling and has nothing to do. ”

Zhou Youliang also laughed and said: "Xiao Lu, I am in charge of public security and legal work in the county public security bureau, and I still know what gambling is. In 2005, the Ministry of Public Security issued a circular on several issues concerning the application of illegal gambling cases, Article 9 of which clearly stipulates: "There shall be no punishment for entertaining activities such as mahjong and poker between relatives not for the purpose of making profits, and shall not be punished for entertaining activities such as playing mahjong or poker with a small amount of property won or lost between relatives." Regarding this article, our understanding is that relatives and friends gather to play mahjong and bring a little color in order to liven up the atmosphere, which can be characterized as a pastime and entertainment, rather than an illegal activity. ”

Lu Tao asked with great interest: "Director Zhou, how much does it cost to play mahjong to be considered an illegal act?"

Zhou Youliang pondered for a moment and said: "There is no explicit provision in the law for this, and it is generally flexibly grasped by the public security organs in various localities according to the situation. For example, in our county, if you play mahjong for more than five yuan and a shot, it is an illegal act that needs to be punished, but this is limited to gathering between relatives and friends to play mahjong, if you play mahjong in a special gambling place such as a mahjong parlor, you will be caught, even if you only play two yuan a shot, you may be punished. ”

Li Tao is an anxious person, seeing that Lu Tao asked endlessly, he poured the mahjong in the mahjong box on the table with a "bang", turned his head to Lu Tao and said: "Handsome guy, we don't want you to play cards, what are you asking in the bottom of the matter? Besides, look at who we are? Who dares to arrest us in Taolin County? Come on, gossip, get down to business, I still want to win a hundred yuan for breakfast!"
