Chapter 108: Appointment
Cao Hua followed Guan Jianguo and his wife into the inner hall, gave a big gift to Mr. Guan, and wanted to bow and retreat. There are a few remaining veterans of the Republic sitting in the room, and there is no room for a small character like them to sit and talk, so it is better to get acquainted and withdraw early to avoid embarrassment.
I don't want Lin Rushi but I don't want to let go of this opportunity to take eye medicine, although she doesn't know what happened, but she also knows that it must have something to do with Li Xiaoning, if you take this opportunity to talk to Guan Pengju, if you are lucky, you will directly let Li Xiaoning fall out of favor, and if you are unlucky, you can plant a thorn in the heart of Old Man Guan.
Therefore, before Lin Rushi waited for Cao Hua to withdraw, she first rushed to the old man and said, "Dad, Minister Cao is not only here to congratulate you on your birthday, but also seems to have had a little unpleasant trouble with Xiaoning......"
Old Man Guan was holding Li Xiaoning's hand and planning to introduce him to a few old handsome, when he heard this, he was stunned, looked at Cao Hua and asked, "Oh? What happened? ”
Cao Hua Khan came down, and said in his heart, how can this woman be so good at stirring up trouble? Can you get this matter to Mr. Guan to talk about? However, Guan Pengju asked, and he couldn't reply, so he stubbornly said: "It's a little thing, the dog had a little unpleasant time with Arlinn last night, but the dog has been taught a lesson and is lying in the hospital." ”
"You talk nonsense. That's not the case! Guan Yalin said loudly next to him, "It was Cao Huaqiang's bastard who insulted me first, and Xiaoning did it, and they still want to hack us to death." Xiaoning's arm was cut off with a big cut, and a lot of blood was shed......"
"Xiaoning, are you injured?" Guan Pengju immediately turned his head to Li Xiaoning and asked with concern.
"It's just a little skin trauma, it's fine." Li Xiaoning said with a smile.
"Take off your clothes, I'll see." Guan Pengju's tone was unquestionable.
Li Xiaoning had no choice but to take off the outer suit, revealing the white shirt inside, and it could be seen that the left arm inside the shirt was wrapped with a thick bandage, but there was still blood oozing out, and a plum blossom the size of a goose egg was dyed on the white shirt.
Guan Pengju's face sank, his eyes were full of annoyance, it doesn't matter if children fight, they don't pay attention to using knives, although Li Xiaoning said lightly, but Guan Pengju is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he not see that this knife must be cut very deeply. Seeing that the old man was angry, everyone immediately quieted down, and heard him say to Li Xiaoning in a depressed tone: "Xiaoning, you tell me what happened now, tell me what happened, tell me honestly." Grandpa believes you won't lie to me! ”
Li Xiaoning had no choice but to honestly begin to state the whole story, he was born in the Chinese department, and worked as a secretary, although he did not deliberately exaggerate, but everyone was still attracted by the story of him single-handedly facing five or six steel knives and rescuing Guan Yalin. Especially when Li Xiaoning talked about the terrifying situation of the car window being smashed and the knife in his left arm, even a few old handsomes couldn't help but sit up straight.
After Li Xiaoning finished speaking, Guan Jianguo looked at Cao Hua and asked coldly, "Is what he said true?" ”
Cao Hua's face was very pale, although he had basically believed that what Li Xiaoning said was the truth, but now he didn't dare to admit it anyway, if he admitted Li Xiaoning's version, then his son would be enough to sentence, so he had to stammer and tell a very different story. In this story, it was Li Xiaoning who was jealous of Cao Huaqiang and took the lead, and it was a sneak attack that injured Cao Huaqiang, but as for the injury on Li Xiaoning's arm, he couldn't explain it. Only to say that it was definitely not his son who cut it.
"What do you tell me to do? It's one thing you're talking about, and it's another thing altogether when he's talking about it. Guan Pengju said coldly.
"There were many people present at the time, and they could prove that what Xiaoning said was the truth." Guan Yalin interjected angrily.
Guan Pengju looked at Cao Hua and asked, "Look at it, do you still have to find witnesses to confront you?" ”
"No, no." Cao Hua shook his head again and again and said, "It's my unsuccessful bastard boy who is not good, Xiaoning taught me a lesson." ”
Guan Pengju's face softened slightly and said, "What's going on with Ling Gongzi, do you need me to go over and take a look?" ”
"No, no, how dare you take ...... hard work" Cao Hua hurriedly waved his hand, "That little bastard is to blame, I still want to teach him a hard lesson......"
"In fact, sometimes the children's affairs are just left to the children to solve by themselves, and when the parents are overly concerned, they can't stand the wind and rain...... I'll turn around and say hello at the hospital, and let them take good care of it......" Guan Pengju's speech was very slow, and his tone was also very gentle, but he was soft and rigid, and he advanced and retreated decently, and every sentence shocked Cao Hua.
"Guan Lao is teaching...... Teachable...... Now that Arlinn is okay, I'm relieved...... When that little bastard can get up, I'll take him to the door again to apologize......" Cao Hua wiped the sweat on his face and prepared to bow down.
"Of course, Xiaoning also did something wrong this time, and he shot too hard." Guan Pengju continued, "If this kid is naughty in the future, you Vice Minister Cao can directly teach him a lesson for me......"
Cao Hua was suddenly shocked, the weight of this sentence is heavy, only people in officialdom understand it best!
"How dare this, how dare this......" Cao Hua waved his hand again and again, "Xiaoning is a polite and courteous legitimate defense, my bastard boy is to blame, even if he is killed, he deserves it!" ”
"You can't say that, children have to ......bear the responsibility if they make mistakes," Guan Pengju said unhurriedly. His words made Cao Hua even more furious, it was obviously his son who provoked him first, if he continued to pursue this, he really couldn't eat and walked around! I really have a bad brain today, so I came to ask for something, and I don't want to think about whether Old Man Guan can provoke him?
Cao Hua was in a hurry, so he actually walked up to Li Xiaoning, bowed and said, "Xiaoning, Uncle Cao, thank you." You've taught that bastard a good lesson for me! This kid is young and doesn't do his job, and he is idle all day long, and if he continues like this, he will get a big disaster for me sooner or later...... You're going to wake him up...... I really want to thank you......"
Cao Hua is also shrewd, Old Man Guan can throw face at himself, Li Xiaoning is always embarrassed not to give himself face, right? Moreover, he calls himself an uncle, which not only lowers his posture, but also brings the relationship closer, which can really be described as a clever calculation.
Li Xiaoning naturally understood that Cao Hua might be nothing in front of Guan Pengju, but after all, he was the deputy minister of public security, and now offending him would only be disadvantageous, not beneficial, so he hurriedly helped Cao Hua up and said, "Uncle Cao, if you say that, I don't dare to be a ...... No matter what I say, I hurt Brother Huaqiang, I won't say much if I apologize, and I hope you don't remember the villain, and the matter will end here. ”
"Good, good, good. That's it, that's it. Cao Hua nodded again and again, glanced at Guan Pengju again, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Guan Lao, I'll retire first if it's okay." ”
"Hmm!" Old Man Guan agreed noncommittally.
Although there was such a small episode, Mr. Guan's birthday banquet was not greatly affected, and the excitement lasted until the afternoon.
Li Xiaoning originally planned to return to his hometown in Jiangnan after attending the birthday banquet, stay for a few more days, and then go to work. Unexpectedly, Mr. Guan didn't let him go at all, and he stayed at Guan's house until the fifth day of the junior high school, and after answering a phone call, Mr. Guan agreed to release him.
The phone call was personally made by Hou Weijun, director of the Binhai City Organization Department, and the content was very simple -- the organization appointed Li Xiaoning as secretary of the Jinsha Town Party Committee and asked him to take up his post immediately.
Although the secretary of the town party committee and the mayor of the town are considered to be at the same level, the secretary and the cadres are still more powerful than the mayor, and Jinsha Town is a town in the suburbs of Binhai City, and it is also the richest town in the entire Binhai City. However, Li Xiaoning did not intend to obey this order, because all the work in Pingshan Town had just begun, and there was still a lot of follow-up work to be carried out.
After telling Hou Weijun what he thought, Hou Weijun replied very unceremoniously, "This is the general ordered by Secretary Liu personally, if you have any questions, talk to Secretary Liu." ”
Li Xiaoning heard that Liu Qifeng let him go, so he was even more unhappy, so he immediately dialed Liu Qifeng's phone and asked bluntly: "Leader, what you promised me at the beginning, does it count?" ”
"What did I promise you?" Liu Qifeng asked unhurriedly.
"You promised me not to transfer me out of Pingshan Town within a year!" Li Xiaoning was anxious, "You won't admit it, right?" ”
"Did I say I wouldn't transfer you within a year?" Liu Qifeng also raised his voice and said, "What I said clearly is that I will give you a year to lay a good framework for Pingshan Town, and then go to a more important post." ”
"Does it make a difference?" Li Xiaoning asked suspiciously.
"You are studying Chinese, can't you see the difference?" Liu Qifeng said angrily, "The point of my sentence is that you lay a good framework for Pingshan Town, and one year is the upper limit, not the lower limit." Now that the development route of Pingshan Town in the next five years has basically been decided, it is time for you to go to a more important position. There's a problem in Jinsha Town, and you need to go up. ”
"Leader, aren't you cheating?" Li Xiaoning said with a wry smile, and then said in a pleading tone, "Leader, I really can't leave Pingshan Town for the time being, Jinsha Town is a good place, there must be many people who want to go, and you don't have to worry about finding someone......"
"Stinky boy, what do you want?" Liu Qifeng raised his voice steeply and said, "Since the organization is so arranged, there is naturally a reason for such an arrangement. Do you think this is a vegetable market to buy vegetables, or you are picking? Do you believe that I removed you from office right now? ”
