Chapter 102 We attach great importance to
After Shao Zhenan left, Dawei quickly glanced at Xiao Lili sitting to the side.
Xiao Lili brushed a strand of hair from her temple and tucked it behind her ear, while also glancing at Dawei.
Her eyes seemed to speak volumes, a hint of playfulness, a touch of mockery, and a hint of worldliness.
The brief exchange of glances conveyed a wealth of information; Dawei realized that the scene at the door was deliberately arranged by Xiao Lili.
He guessed right.
After leaving Dawei's office, Xiao Lili learned that Minister Xiao had invited everyone to dinner that evening—actually, it was just a casual meal, an informal conversation, a common tactic in organizational work, which often proves surprisingly effective in some situations.
Xiao Lili planned to take this opportunity to make Shao Zhenan look bad.
We need to discipline Shao Zhen'an in front of the head of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department.
She was betting that Dawei would help her, and she also realized that Minister Xiao of the Municipal Party Committee and Dawei were strategic allies and close comrades-in-arms.
With a kind word from Dawei and the frequent mistakes of her current superior, Shao Zhen'an, Xiao Lili's chances of winning would be much greater.
Whether he can go further and replace Shao Zhen'an as the head of the county's organization department depends on tonight's actions.
Old Liu at the entrance is a client of the Old Cadre Bureau, and Xiao Lili gets along very well with Old Liu's daughter.
The Bureau of Veteran Cadres is under the jurisdiction of the County Organization Department, and its funds are frequently withheld or misappropriated by the County Organization Department.
Xiao Lili privately approached Lao Liu, promising him good treatment and offering to help his daughter get transferred to a teaching position in the county.
But Lao Liu has to step up his game tonight and make a big scene.
That's how this scene came about.
Zhou Xiangzhang's face darkened. The county organization department was under the leadership of the county party committee, and Shao Zhen'an had always been close to Zhou Xiangzhang.
If Shao Zhen'an gets into trouble at this critical juncture, Zhou Xiangzhang won't look good either.
He immediately turned to Xiao Lili and asked, "Director Xiao, what's going on?"
When he asked the question, there was an aggressive look in his eyes that went beyond the usual male-female relationship, and his gaze fell directly on Xiao Lili's bulge.
Xiao Lili glanced at Zhou Xiangzhang with disgust. A long time ago, when she went to the countryside with Zhou Xiangzhang, she got drunk and was bullied by that beast. He even burned a scar on her leg with a cigarette.
I had cosmetic surgery, and the scars are still somewhat visible.
It was after that incident that Xiao Lili became the bureau chief and also the deputy director of the county's organization department.
That was the only time Xiao Lili ever spent time alone with Zhou Xiangzhang again.
She hates!
This experience made her feel ashamed in front of Dawei, and she felt unworthy of him.
Otherwise, she would have pursued Dawei openly and honestly.
"Retired cadres came to cause trouble."
"What kind of work have you been doing at the Bureau of Veteran Affairs? How did you end up here?" Zhou Xiangzhang questioned sternly.
Xiao Lili retorted indignantly, "How can you blame me?"
Of the funds promised to our bureau of retired cadres, less than one-third have actually been allocated.
Half of the funds were intercepted by the county organization department, and then some were swindled by designated partners.
The amount of funding that actually reaches retired cadres is very small.
None of the promised financial aid, living allowance, or opportunities for him to visit and inspect other places were ever fulfilled.
"No wonder they're making a scene."
Xiao Lili showed no mercy, leaving Zhou Xiangzhang speechless.
"Where did the money go?" Xiao Zhikai asked, frowning slightly.
Xiao Lili looked aggrieved, blinked, and her eyes immediately reddened: "Anyway, it's not with me."
Dawei chimed in: "If Minister Xiao asks, just say it boldly, where did the money go?"
"It's rare that Minister Xiao is here today; if there are any problems, he might be able to help resolve them."
Xiao Lili sniffed: "I... I dare not say."
Xiao Zhikai looked at Dawei: "County Chief Chen, you used to work at the Old Cadre Bureau."
You must know the situation there.
Lily is a lesbian, but she's timid and doesn't dare to speak up.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Zhou Xiangzhang quickly gave Dawei a meaningful look.
David pretended not to see it and sighed, "Then I'll just say what I think."
It is true that the funds of the Old Cadre Bureau were diverted by the County Organization Department.
Sometimes, when the county organization department needs money but it's difficult to apply, they directly apply in the name of the old cadres bureau.
Organizing a tour group for retired cadres would cost over 100,000 yuan.
Then they'd give a few tens of thousands to take the retired cadres on a trip to the provincial capital, see some free museums, and then they'd come back; the rest went into the county organization department's account.
Xiao Zhikai gritted his teeth, looking very angry: "This is outrageous!"
What does the county organization department need this money for?
Don't they have their own funding?
David hummed softly and said, "I heard that Minister Shao likes to speculate in stocks."
The funds weren't embezzled, but rather misappropriated.
When it's time to settle the accounts, all this money will be returned.
Normally, the money would generate more money in Minister Shao's stock account.
Of course, I've only heard about it; I don't know the specifics.
Snapped!
Xiao Zhikai slammed his hand on the table.
The bowls and chopsticks on the table jumped up.
"I think he doesn't want to do this anymore!"
This is utterly outrageous!
What kind of talk is this?
Is this still one of our Party's cadres?
The county discipline inspection and supervision commission also has serious problems; why isn't it handling this kind of thing?
Seeing that the matter had already been laid bare and could no longer be concealed, Zhou Xiangzhang simply pushed the matter away and immediately replied, "Your criticism is correct."
Lin Wangyou should be arrested.
As the top leader of the county party committee, I also have leadership responsibilities.
Minister Xiao, I suggest that Shao Zhen'an be suspended from his duties first, and then the disciplinary committee should intervene to investigate.
Xiao Zhikai nodded heavily: "I think it's a good idea."
After speaking, he got up and went outside, apologized to Lao Liu, and then Xiao Zhikai personally made a promise to Lao Liu.
"Don't worry."
We take the issue you raised very seriously.
I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer within a week.
Shao Zhen'an's work has been lacking, and we will definitely deal with it seriously.
Xiao Lili stood behind Xiao Zhikai and gave Lao Liu a wink, after which Lao Liu left.
Xiao Zhikai walked towards the private room, and Shao Zhenan followed with his head down. Xiao Zhikai stopped, turned around, glared at Shao Zhenan, and scolded, "You still have the heart to eat?"
How can you be so carefree?
Let's go back.
Go back and take a good look at your stocks.
Shao Zhenan was so scolded that he didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Back in the private room.
Xiao Zhikai ate in silence, without saying another word.
He originally wanted to ask Zhou Xiangzhang and Chen Dawei who would be the best candidate to replace Shao Zhenan.
But upon closer reflection, something seemed amiss today. How did Old Liu know he would be eating here today and deliberately come here to cause trouble?
Clearly, this was done intentionally.
There's a conspiracy behind this.
It's possible that Dawei is going to make a move against Shao Zhen'an.
Therefore, he should not ask on the spot, but privately, so that there is room for maneuver.
Otherwise, it won't look good if Zhou Xiangzhang and Chen Dawei don't recommend the same people.
"Eat, everyone eat."
We can't waste so much food; wasting food is shameful.
Xiao Zhikai acted as if nothing was wrong and urged everyone to eat.
Most people have no appetite.
Only Xiao Lili ate with relish.
She even kicked David's shin with her toes.
