Chapter 188: Wang Yujia

Lu Fan basically maintained reporting work to the County Party Secretary at least twice a week, regardless of whether there was anything or not—after all, one must ask for instructions in the morning and report in the evening.

However, today Gao Yuanfei gave Lu Fan a very different feeling: depressed and decadent, not paying much attention to work, but instead starting to pay attention to the Education Bureau's engineering projects.

Thinking that the municipal party committee and municipal government leadership teams were all staffed, Lu Fan guessed that Secretary Gao might have "known his fate."

This situation was very dangerous. Many people would consider that since there was no hope for the future, they had to consider their future life, and making money became the "main melody"!

To be honest, Lu Fan didn't want Gao Yuanfei to "fail to keep his integrity in his later years." After all, he had been his secretary, and whether as a township secretary or an Education Bureau director, he had put in great effort. One must be grateful!

Coming out of Secretary Gao's office, he ran into County Committee Office Director Liu Guannan. Although the two greeted each other enthusiastically, Lu Fan still felt a trace of alienation from his attitude and tone.

As the County Committee Office Director, Liu Guannan was very keen on the position of deputy county chief and was determined to win it, because the County Committee Office Director was known as the "county's number one Zhengke." But Gao Yuanfei's attitude made Liu Guannan very disappointed; he actually favored Lu Fan!

For a competitor, being able to greet each other with a smile was enough cultivation!

Similar things happened to Lu Fan from several people, such as Development and Reform Commission Director Li Shengjie, who was also sarcastic and teased Lu Fan's age during a meeting yesterday.

Regarding this, Lu Fan just smiled slightly. If you have emotions, go hit the wall with your head. Could he give up competing for deputy county chief just because of your "arrogant face"?

Wang Yujia, a fourth-level researcher in the Third Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, brought a "little brother" to Ningyang for a secret visit. The first thing was to go to the cold noodle shop to taste the flavor in her memory, and then checked into a hotel to rest.

Little brother Zhang Tianmin asked suspiciously: "Master, shouldn't we go to Baishu Bay? We still have a task!"

Wang Yujia laughed: "Don't rush. Let me tell you, Ningyang's Du family chicken is a must. We are exhausted from the journey, so let's rest first, eat Du family chicken in the afternoon, and go to Baishu Bay tomorrow! Xiao Zhang, is a small township secretary worth our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection taking action? This is a benefit given by the leader, just going through the motions, so we mainly focus on relaxing and work is secondary!"

"Fine, I'll listen to Master!"

In the afternoon, Wang Yujia, who had made up for her beauty sleep, took Zhang Tianmin straight to the Du family chicken she admired. Unexpectedly, the restaurant was overcrowded, there were no seats in the lobby, and she hadn't made a reservation.

Even in Jingcheng, the "little princess" had never lined up to eat, so her mood suddenly became terrible.

Just as she was planning to go out and eat something casual, Wang Yujia actually saw Lu Fan entering from the restaurant entrance and immediately shouted loudly: "Lu Fan, do you still recognize me?"

Lu Fan turned his head, smiled, and said: "Wang Yujia! What a coincidence, why did you come to Ningyang? Have you eaten?"

Wang Yujia laughed: "It's good that you still have a bit of conscience and haven't forgotten me! Why? Can't I come to Ningyang? Back then, I also contributed to Ningyang! Now I come to eat, and there's no seat for me; the tea is cold after the person leaves!"

Lu Fan laughed, made a gesture, and invited Wang Yujia into a private room.

After sitting down, Du Wenlong said very politely: "Hello, Director Wang, welcome to Ningyang! I am Du Wenlong from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Wang Yujia said: "Do you know me?"

"I saw Director Wang when I went to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to deliver materials last time."

The "flower" of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection—people in the discipline inspection system had basically heard of her.

Lu Fan laughed: "You've become Director Wang, amazing. You transferred away quietly back then, and I didn't even see you off. I didn't even know you went to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"You didn't have that heart, so of course you didn't know anything! Look at Du Wenlong; he knew where I worked."

Just right, the waiter came in to serve the pot. Lu Fan ordered: "Add another portion of meat; we are entertaining distinguished guests!"

Wang Yujia laughed: "You are sensible; I was thinking about this bite at noon! Lu Fan, what official are you now?"

"Big Director Wang, you haven't introduced this handsome guy yet. Is he your boyfriend?"

Zhang Tianmin hurriedly said: "I am Director Wang's apprentice; I just passed the exam into the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection this year."

Two cadres from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection came to Ningyang—what for? It seemed they hadn't heard any wind? Lu Fan said calmly: "Welcome to Ningyang as guests. Let's drink some wine and let me fulfill the duty of a host!"

Wang Yujia said carelessly: "Drinking a little is fine, but don't get drunk; there is serious business tomorrow."

Not long after, Yang Minghao and Xia Li also came. Lu Fan introduced everyone, but didn't mention the guests' identities.

After the Du family chicken was served, Wang Yujia's lady-like demeanor disappeared; she used her hands directly and ate heartily, saying while eating: "Too delicious, the taste hasn't changed at all. There is no such good taste in Chang'an or Jingcheng!"

Lu Fan laughed: "No one is grabbing with you; eat more if it's delicious!"

"Lu Fan, you haven't said what official you are now?"

"Compared to the leaders in your province, does Ningyang still have officials?"

"You are really long-winded; just say what I ask you!"

This sentence reminded Lu Fan of the scene where he was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission back then. Wang Yujia also asked questions like this—occupational disease!

However, Lu Fan had no abnormalities, because he felt those were all valuable experiences, constantly reminding himself never to have such a day again!

Du Wenlong interjected: "Director Wang, Brother Fan is now the Education Bureau Director."

"Wow, Education Bureau Director, a leader with real power, already at the Zhengke level! Lu Fan, you are progressing so fast, almost catching up to me!"

Lu Fan laughed: "Eat well, leave contact information, and I'll send some to you later if you want to eat."

Wang Yujia agreed readily and said: "Keep your word. Every time you come to Chang'an in the future, you must bring me Du family chicken and cold noodles!"

An hour later, Wang Yujia was full, and the dinner party dispersed.

Lu Fan asked: "Should I arrange a place for you to stay?"

"Don't trouble yourself; I'll go for a walk. I'll treat you next time you come to Chang'an!"

Watching the departing figure, Lu Fan asked Du Wenlong: "The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection arrived in Ningyang, and you don't know?"

Du Wenlong shook his head and said: "Didn't receive any notice, and haven't heard of it. The leaders were all there when they got off work. I estimate they are here for a secret visit. I don't know who is going to suffer! Brother Fan, do you think we need to notify our leaders?"

"Why bother? It's better to investigate a few more; some people are really outrageous!"

Early the next morning, Wang Yujia and Zhang Tianmin drove to Baishu Bay to conduct a secret visit on the reported matters of Township Party Secretary Niu Qinghe.

Arriving at a breeder's house, Zhang Tianmin asked with a smile: "Grandpa, your sheep look quite fat. How much is it per jin?"

Grandpa said: "40 per jin. You can rest assured buying my sheep; it's authentic 'dijiao' lamb!"

"40? So expensive?"

Grandpa laughed: "Young man, go ask around. This is 'dijiao' lamb. Secretary Lu Fan applied for national geographical indication certification. I guarantee it's much more fragrant than the lamb you ate before!"

Wang Yujia asked curiously: "Secretary Lu Fan? What secretary?"

Grandpa sighed and said: "He is our former Township Party Secretary. He is really a good young man! For the sheep I raised, Secretary Lu gave me tens of thousands in subsidies, and he didn't even drink a sip of my water!"

Wang Yujia asked again: "What about the current secretary?"

Grandpa cursed: "I don't even know what that dog's name is. He is purely a money-grubber and doesn't do a single human thing. Hey, if Secretary Lu hadn't left, the township wouldn't be in such a sorry state now!"

Unexpectedly, Lu Fan had also been the secretary here. Wang Yujia was a bit curious. In just a few short years, this kid was too amazing!

She had worked in the county back then and knew how high the gold content of a township secretary was. But why did he go to be an Education Bureau Director when he was doing well?

Thus, Wang Yujia asked again: "Why did Secretary Lu have to transfer?"

Grandpa sighed: "Wasn't it squeezed out by the donkey-born secretary now? Which of the township's industries wasn't developed by Secretary Lu? You go and see how well our Baishu Bay coffins sell, and there are breeding farms, bustling with people coming in and out every day. This secretary occupied someone else's position, wasn't it because the township started drilling oil wells? He came to make money! Hey, good people don't last long, and pests linger!"

For a whole day, Wang Yujia took Zhang Tianmin to visit a dozen farmers, went to see the coffin factory, slaughterhouse, and fishing base, and also found two cadres from the township government to chat. They were all cursing the current secretary, but not a single one spoke ill of Lu Fan. From their expressions and words, one could see that they missed the former Township Party Secretary incomparably!

Gold awards and silver awards are not as good as the praise of the common people. At this moment, Wang Yujia truly admired Lu Fan. She didn't expect that the subject of her "inquiry" back then had made such great achievements, even subverting her cognition. She had seen a real official serving the people!

Staying in Baishu Bay for two days, the two basically understood the situation and returned to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Returning to the unit, Wang Yujia's young lady temper came up, and she went straight to the office of Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Zhao Wenfeng to report the various bad deeds of Baishu Bay Township Party Secretary Niu Qinghe.

Zhao Wenfeng gave her face and said: "Yujia, you worked hard on this secret visit, and the work was very effective. Let's follow the procedures and let the Yingjiang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection handle it as soon as possible!"

Wang Yujia replied: "Secretary Zhao, that Niu Qinghe is indeed hateful. Not only did he occupy someone else's position, but he also made Baishu Bay a mess, leading to public resentment. He must be punished! He could grab someone else's secretary position, so he must have a background. If we don't pay attention, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection might not know whether to investigate him."

Zhao Wenfeng laughed: "You must believe in our own comrades and believe that the Yingjiang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will strictly enforce discipline and will not let any bad person go!"

"Understood, Secretary Zhao. This person is really hateful. If no one manages it, I will let Grandpa manage it!"

Zhao Wenfeng hurriedly said: "Yujia, rest assured, I will personally watch this matter. Don't trouble Old Liu with such small matters!"

Watching Wang Yujia walk out of the office reluctantly, Zhao Wenfeng hurriedly dialed the phone of the Yingjiang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary, instructing him to immediately investigate the violations and disciplinary breaches of Baishu Bay Township Party Secretary Niu Qinghe, directly characterizing the person!
