Chapter 1123 If this person is courting death, no one can save him.
The customs officers looked at each other, and a pretty girl whispered something.
"Deputy Director Yu, I know a little about this. It seems these people are from the central working group, here to investigate the heavy machinery factory's invoices. We need to speak with Deputy Director Zhang."
They arrived at nine o'clock in the morning and were received by Wang Enming. After Wang Enming found out their purpose, he took their work ID and letter of introduction to find Deputy Director Zhang.
Deputy Director Zhang confiscated Wang Enming's work permit and letter of introduction, and sent him home. Using a meeting as an excuse, he left the central working group waiting in the meeting room for a whole day.
It seems the working group discovered that Deputy Director Zhang had left in a car, which is why they seized the documents in a fit of anger.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tiexiong stomped his feet and pounded his chest in anger, breathing heavily through his nose. This Zhang Chengwen, relying on his brother-in-law being Li Bo, the provincial political and legal secretary, had always been audacious and reckless. In customs, apart from the director, he didn't respect anyone else.
Someone asked the girl out of curiosity.
"Tingting, how do you know so much detail?"
The girl blushed instantly and whispered.
"Wang Enming told me."
The people around them all gasped in surprise, knowing that Tingting was dating Wang Enming.
Yu Tiexiong was so angry he was about to curse. What kind of time is this to be teasing a young girl? But the customs officers didn't care. If they wanted to seal it up, so be it. What did it have to do with them?
Even if there were any irregularities on the order form, it was personally approved by the leaders. If their coats and lunchboxes hadn't been in the room, they would have left long ago.
"Does anyone know where Deputy Chief Zhang went?"
The one who tied the knot must untie it; whoever caused the trouble should resolve it. There's no way to hide.
"It's Xiao Liu from the gatehouse!" he said loudly.
"Deputy Director Yu, I heard Deputy Director Zhang instruct Erbao, the driver, to go to the Minzhou Restaurant,"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tiexiong became even more furious. What kind of time was this Zhang Guangwen? He was still out feasting! The provincial and municipal documents had already been issued; the Four Cleanups and Five Antis campaigns were primarily aimed at combating bureaucracy and corruption.
Yu Tiexiong looked around, wondering who could call Zhang Guangwen back, but he was discouraged. Even if he went, he might not be able to call Zhang Guangwen back, let alone these cadres and employees.
Jin Hai and his men sealed off all the rooms. Hearing that Zhang Guangwen was at the Minzhou Restaurant, he strode over with his auditing team.
Jin Hai coldly glanced at the customs officers, then turned to the squad leader on guard and said...
"Squad Leader Zhang, tonight you will guard the entire second floor. No one is allowed to enter without our work group's permission. If anyone tries to force their way in, you may shoot them on the spot."
"Now we'll go to the Minzhou Restaurant to bring Zhang Guangwen back to the work group. Someone will bring you food and drinks shortly."
Squad Leader Zhang stood at attention, saluted, and replied, "Yes, sir."
"Deputy Team Leader Jin, shall I send two people to protect you?"
Jin Hai gave a cold laugh and shook his head.
“I refuse to believe that anyone would dare to touch our working group members on this land in the new country, unless they’re tired of living.”
Yu Tiexiong inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to face Zhang Guangwen's arrogant face, so he stepped forward and saluted Jin Hai.
"Comrades in the working group, I am Yu Tiexiong, Deputy Director of Minzhou Customs. On behalf of the entire customs, I assure you that we will fully cooperate with your work. You don't need to send meals to these young comrades. We can afford to provide them with a few meals."
Jin Hai shook hands with him, his expression softening.
"Deputy Director Yu, thank you for your cooperation. We will complete the work as soon as possible."
"Ok!"
……
Restaurants named after a region are usually the largest and most luxurious in the area. They attract not only businesses and institutions, who come here every day to eat and drink lavishly, but even the government has arranged for them to host its receptions.
Minzhou Restaurant, of course, serves Fujian cuisine, one of the eight major cuisines of China, and has the best Fujian cuisine chefs here.
Fujian cuisine is renowned for its light and fresh flavors, especially its soups, which are known for their versatility, showcasing the exquisite nature of Fujian cuisine.
The ten signature dishes of Minzhou Restaurant are: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Chicken Soup with Sea Clams, Lychee Pork, Oyster Omelet, Boiled Hetian Chicken, Wuyi Smoked Goose, Half Moon Sinking into the River, Hot Pot with Nine Gates, Eight Treasure Red Crab Rice, and Lightly Fermented Conch Slices.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, in particular, is a dish made by simmering over a low flame for more than five hours with over thirty kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, such as abalone, sea cucumber, and shark fin. It is considered the premier dish of Fujian cuisine.
This dish is not something you can eat all the time. Minzhou Restaurant only offers three servings a day, and one of them must be reserved for Deputy Director Zhang of the Customs. This shows how arrogant and domineering Zhang Guangwen is.
The people who invited Zhang Guangwen to dinner today were two ship owners who mainly travel to Southeast Asia. These two men used their connections to make an appointment with Zhang Guangwen for a full half month before they finally managed to invite the deputy customs chief out.
Zhang Guangwen brought a total of more than a dozen people, including himself, his secretary Wang Enming, the captain of the Guan police team Zhou Zihao, and the remaining eight were Guan police officers. Of course, these eight could not sit in the same private room as Zhang Guangwen, so the two boat owners opened another private room next door and ordered more than a dozen dishes. Although they were not their signature dishes, there was still chicken and fish, and the Guan police officers were very satisfied.
The two boat owners, one named Awang and the other Acai, specially invited Hu, the manager of the department store, Tan Yuming, the deputy director of the provincial supply and marketing cooperative, and Xia Tianming, the deputy director of the municipal public security bureau, to keep Zhang, the deputy director of the customs office, company.
This combination suggests that the two ship owners put in a lot of effort, and what they sought must be extraordinary.
The wine we're drinking today is also extraordinary; it's a 30-year-old Fu Mao Cellar wine, which is known as the Maotai of Southern Fujian, and it's the most fragrant and expensive kind.
Zhang Guangwen and his group were definitely the last to arrive. The host and guests had all arrived, but Zhang Guangwen, Zhou Zhihao, and Wang Enming arrived late.
Wang Enming sat in the car with a worried expression. He had been absent-minded all day, constantly thinking about the working group. He had left the people of the central working group in the meeting room for a whole day. What if he angered them?
Zhang Guangwen glanced at Wang Enming. His cousin was good in every way, except for his indecisive personality and excessive worries.
Zhang Guangwen patted Wang Enming on the shoulder and said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, it's just a central working group, what's the big deal? I'll go to my brother-in-law's house tonight, what can't be solved there?"
Wang Enming thought about it and nodded. That made sense. Even the working group from the central government was not as high-ranking as the leaders from the province. It was no wonder he was ignorant. It was just that the Minnan region was remote and rarely had people from the central government come to visit.
