Just when Li Weijun was at a loss and in a dilemma, the mayor of the town, Huang Zeke, hurried over with several cadres and rushed into the secretary's office, separated those women from Li Weijun, and patiently persuaded them to stop scolding, and not to use such extreme means if they had any demands......

A woman said to Huang Zeke: "Mayor Huang, we only have two demands: First, the town must immediately allocate one million yuan in assistance funds to our village, and we all need to build new houses, and we all count on this money to help the emergency; second, the police station must immediately release the Lu cadres." They worked hard to get one million yuan for us to go to the province, but they just contradicted Li Weijun a few words, and he instructed the police station to arrest them, and we were not convinced. ”

Huang Zeke glanced at Li Weijun and asked, "Secretary Li, what is your opinion?"

Li Weijun snorted and panted, wanting to say a few cruel words to save face, but when he saw the women who were glaring at him angrily, his heart was weak again, and he puffed out his cheeks and was silent.

At this moment, his mobile phone rang again, and when he looked at the caller ID, it was Xia Bingbing, head of the budget unit of the county finance bureau, who called him, and hurriedly opened the answer button, only to hear Xia Bingbing ask in a very dissatisfied tone: "Secretary Li, what is the matter with the one million yuan assistance fund in Huaguang Village?" I have repeatedly explained to Director Yu that this million yuan was won by Lu Tao for Huaguang Village, and the leaders of the Provincial Finance Department have also given verbal instructions, this money is the hat fund of Huaguang Village, why is it withheld and not distributed in your town?"

Li Weijun had nowhere to vent his anger at this time, and when he saw that Xia Bingbing actually scolded him in such a condescending tone, he was even more angry, and shouted loudly: "I just withhold this money and don't send it, what's the matter? When your Finance Bureau allocated the money, it didn't send a document to make it clear that the one million yuan was Huaguang Village's hat fund, and it was only said that it was a new rural construction assistance fund for our town, and the town certainly has the right to reasonably distribute it among the villages, and there is no need for you, the head of the budget unit, to intervene!"

Xia Bingbing didn't know the situation here, and when he saw that Li Weijun's tone was so strong, he also lost his temper, and said coldly: "Secretary Li, if you are so unreasonable, don't blame me for doing it! If you don't immediately transfer this million yuan to Huaguang Village's account, I will report to the bureau leaders and deduct this million yuan back from the township budget in the fourth quarter." When the time comes, your town will not be able to pay salaries, I see how you can explain to your cadres!"

Li Weijun knew that Xia Bingbing was a ruthless character who could say and do, and what he said just now was definitely not to scare him, so he had to slow down his tone and say: "Chief Xia, don't force me anymore, okay?" Let me think about it first, and give you an answer in the afternoon!"

After Huang Zeke waited for him to hang up Xia Bingbing's phone, he continued to persuade him: "Secretary Li, you better make a decision, according to the request of the villagers, let the police station release Lu Tao first, and then ask the finance office to transfer the million yuan to the account of Huaguang Village, and settle the matter today!"

Li Weijun knew that he had no choice at the moment, if he insisted on not letting Lu Tao go and not transferring the money to Huaguang Village, maybe there would really be a big mess.

So, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva with great difficulty, picked up the landline and dialed the police station, and ordered them to release Lu Tao immediately. Subsequently, he made another phone call to the town finance office, asking them to transfer the 1 million yuan assistance fund to Huaguang Village's account in the afternoon.

After listening to his two phone calls, the women left the secretary's office one after another.

Huang Zeke said to Li Weijun: "Secretary Li, in order to show our sincerity, I will go to the police station to pick Lu Tao out, and by the way, talk to him a few words, let him do the ideological work of the villagers of Huaguang Village, and ask them not to make trouble again, otherwise it will not be good for anyone!"

Li Weijun nodded with a blushing face, but he was secretly ruthless in his heart: Lu Tao, you little king and eight cubs, if I, Li Weijun, don't kill you, I will not be a human being......

Huang Zeke left the secretary's office and hurried to the town police station, just in time to see Lu Tao being surrounded by a large group of happy villagers walking out of the gate of the police station, hurriedly speeding up his pace to meet him, squeezing into the crowd and holding Lu Tao's hand, and said in an apologetic tone: "Xiao Lu, I'm really sorry for letting you be wronged! You are a cadre stationed in the village who is dedicated to doing good things for the villagers, so you have been wholeheartedly supported and loved by everyone, and I sincerely apologize to you on behalf of the town party committee and government!"

Lu Tao smiled and said: "Mayor Huang, you didn't do anything wrong, and your Dalong Town Party Committee and Government didn't do anything wrong, it was Li Weijun who was wrong, and he was the one who should apologize." However, he hates me so much now that he probably wants to eat my heart, and it is impossible to expect him to apologize to me, and I don't want to accept his apology at all!"

Huang Zeke paid attention to his face, sighed and said: "Xiao Lu, when I invited you to dinner not long ago, I talked about the contradictions and grudges between you and Secretary Li, and also tactfully advised you to be careful and guardy, but you didn't seem to hear it in your heart. You have to remember one sentence: People are harmless to the tiger, and tigers hurt people's hearts! Sometimes you don't want to provoke others, but others will come to provoke you. Moreover, if you choose to forbear, the other party will think that you are a bully, and will hurt you and bully you even more.

Lu Tao nodded thoughtfully and said, "Thank you Mayor Huang for your advice, I will keep it in my heart." ”

Huang Zeke patted him on the shoulder and said: "I still said the same thing last time: If you have any questions about the people and things in the town, you can consult me at any time, I will definitely know everything and explain everything for you!"

Lu Tao knew that he had something to say, but because there were many people around him now, it was difficult to ask him in detail, so he said "um" vaguely......

After returning to the village department of Huaguang Village, Su Yaoguang took Su Xiancan and several other village cadres to greet him at the gate, as soon as he saw him, Su Yaoguang opened his arms and gave him a big hug, and said emotionally: "Xiao Lu, you have been wronged! You have made such a great contribution to the village, and you have to be angry with Li Weijun's bastard, we are very upset." We are going to organize some villagers to write a joint letter accusing Li Weijun of privately withholding funds for the construction of the new countryside and abusing his power to retaliate against the cadres stationed in the village. Although this letter may not be useful, it can at least warn Li Weijun so that he can have some scruples in the future, and don't target you and our Huaguang Village at every turn."

Lu Tao thanked him, and then walked into the village together, and was about to discuss the matter, Lu Tao's mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he answered, it was Director Yuan of the Supervision Office of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau who called, only to hear him ask in a puzzled tone: "Xiao Lu, have you offended anyone in the Songshan Local Taxation Bureau?"

Lu Tao replied a little inexplicably: "Director Yuan, I don't know a few people in the city bureau at all, and I have never offended anyone, why do you suddenly ask that?"
