Chapter 90: The Influence of a Secretary

Few words, carrying a briefcase, diligent, low-key, appropriately dressed, moderate fat and thin, a look of insight into the world, is the first impression Lu Fan left on the outside world.

After more than half a year of training, Lu Fan completely adapted to the secretary position, doing things in an orderly manner, not anxious or impatient, and always maintaining a posture of listening to the leader's call. Able to calm down, endure loneliness, withstand temptation, and be cautious and careful in speaking and dealing with things.

As a full-time secretary, Lu Fan rarely helps the leader write drafts, only helps the leader prepare materials, and checks for the leader when the office completes the draft. More is to coordinate the leader's time, help the leader make appointments with superior leaders and leaders of the same level. Specifically, it is to coordinate Gao Yuanfei's travel, including specific details such as time, travel route, and vehicle use.

The secretary also has a function, which is to help the leader distinguish whether a certain meeting should be attended, and give the leader a direct suggestion.

Many people want to see Gao Yuanfei through Lu Fan, especially when there is news of personnel adjustment or major festivals. There are not a few who come to "report work." Before "meeting," they will generally clear the way through Lu Fan. If it is someone who doesn't want to see or shouldn't see, they have to help the leader shirk. This requires grasping the measure and pondering the leader's meaning.

The secretary is a key link in the exercise of power. Because language and text transmission of information will always have mistakes, the secretary can conceal reports from above, correct edicts from below, and seize power through information asymmetry.

Lu Fan knows more key information than others, has more time to communicate with Gao Yuanfei, and the communication is efficient and the error is small. And after Gao Yuanfei trusts Lu Fan, he will also let Lu Fan do some private things because of majesty and status. Lu Fan can use this to bring private interests to handle some things.

After the first phase of the south development started, under Gao Yuanfei's hint, Lu Fan greeted three work teams for the project unit, hinting that they should "all-round" take care of the bidding and procedure handling process, and personally acted as their bridge and link at the dinner table.

12 projects, Gao Yuanfei got 5, County Head Hu Chengwei got 3, the remaining two were greeted by municipal leaders, and had to be given. Wu Heng unexpectedly won two projects, and they were not small.

The Secretary and the County Head must compromise in the struggle. At most, the Secretary is stronger, eats more and occupies more, but it is impossible for the County Head to get nothing. After all, he is a legal person, responsible for the specific implementation of the project. If he is anxious, he will not cooperate in work, and will not approve words when paying, and the Secretary will stare. They are all provincial-managed cadres. If you bully people too much, you can break up at most, and both lose.

In June, the river management special funds, shanty town renovation funds, and road construction special funds arrived one after another. The County Committee Standing Committee deliberated and passed 58 county-level key construction projects, and the south development started.

The first batch of 12 projects were publicly tendered, all of which were large projects of more than 30 million. Le Xuezhi was full of confidence, participated in the bidding for 8, and operated according to routine handling.

But after the results came out, Le Xuezhi was completely dumbfounded. He didn't even get a sip of soup, and was shaved bald!

Le Xuezhi was furious in the office, cursing that the group of dog days were white-eyed wolves. For so many years, they had taken so many benefits from him, but at the critical time, they dropped the chain. It is unbearable!

Facing Le Xuezhi coming to the door to ask for guilt, the leaders of several project units chose to avoid seeing him, which made Le Xuezhi realize where the problem was? So he hurriedly found his third brother Le Xue Li to discuss.

The brothers had been mixed in Ningyang for so many years, and they had some ways, and soon found out that several large projects were taken away by the main leader's work team. The result was very helpless. The eldest brother and second brother were transferred, and they couldn't be as willful as before. They couldn't compete with the Secretary and County Head.

But Le Xuezhi was still a bit puzzled. It was understandable that the meat was eaten, but what about the soup? No leader could be so overbearing that even a sip of soup was not left for the department. Why didn't they even drink a sip of soup this time? If there is something abnormal, there must be a demon. This matter must be investigated clearly.

The wind and water turn, this year to the Wu family!

Wu Heng and Su Xiaoyi operated with all their strength, coupled with Lu Fan's secret assistance, the two won two large projects, and they would not be idle this year. Xiaoyi officially entered the construction field.

Le Xuezhi couldn't swallow this breath, depressed. The horse boy under his hand knew the boss's temper. How to relieve worries, only beauty! So he catered to his preferences and told Le Xuezhi that a peerless beauty came to Ningyang in the past two days, lived in the Ningyang Hotel, and wandered on the street several times. That appearance and figure were simply great!

As soon as Le Xuezhi heard it, he became interested and went to the Ningyang Hotel to inquire immediately.

Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, the way of heaven is reincarnation. Don't believe in looking up, who will the heaven spare? It's not that it won't be reported, the time hasn't come!

Deputy County Head Le Xueyi, when receiving leaders from the Provincial Science and Technology Department at the hotel, inadvertently discovered this woman. Just because of one look, he had already fallen into it. It was really like a startled swan, like a swimming dragon, every smile was love, every look was intentional!

To put it nicely, it was love at first sight. To put it vulgarly, it was seeing color and rising intention. I didn't expect Ningyang to have such a beauty. If he didn't take it down, he would have lived in vain in this life, and he would regret it for the rest of his life!

As long as the money is in place, there is nothing that cannot be done. Coupled with the special nature of the crowd contacted by the gray industry, Su Xiaoyi and Ding Tongxin found a "disabled but strong" patient through peers. Seeing her photo, Xiaoyi was a bit moved, sighing that it was a pity, sad, and sighing.

What do patients need most? Of course, money. So this beauty came to Ningyang, holding photos of two people and 500,000 advance payments, the goal is to become a patient friend with them.

Qingchen witnessed the dirtiest human nature and the ugliest face, and also experienced the darkest and most painful process. She has seen too many men, knows men like the back of her hand, sees through men's thoughts at a glance, knows that the fish is hooked, and thinks in her heart, they threw themselves up, it has nothing to do with me! ===== CHAPTER 91 =====

"Thank you, Secretary! My classmate's family has been in agony and longing for over a decade; now, there is finally hope. I'm going to the Public Security Bureau now."

Carrying the "Imperial Sword," Lu Fan personally arrived at the office of Su Zheng-hao, the County Public Security Bureau Director.

Even a Public Security Bureau Director has to show some respect to the Secretary's secretary. Su Zheng-hao personally brewed tea and laughed, "This is your first time visiting me, right!"

"County Chief Su's criticism is correct. I must come to report on work more often in the future, as long as you don't find me annoying. However, today I am here to convey the Secretary's instructions."

"If there's something to do, just call me over. Why make the trip yourself? The Secretary can't do without you there."

"This matter is quite important, so it's better to report it to you in person. A report letter was forwarded from the city. The Secretary attaches great importance to it and has personally issued instructions. Please take a look first."

Su Zheng-hao took the materials and read them carefully.

Ten minutes later, he said, "I have heard a little about this matter; it can be considered an old affair. Both sides have their own stories. To investigate it clearly, one month is a bit tight. How about this: I will set up a working group, strengthen the force, and complete the task assigned by the Secretary as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your support, County Chief Su. The Secretary instructed me to keep an eye on this matter and report to him whenever there is progress. I'll leave it to you then!"

"Rest assured, Director Lu, I will keep an eye on this case at all times."

Lu Fan had a sudden inspiration and smiled, "County Chief Su, there is a private matter I would like to trouble you with!"

"Please go ahead, Director Lu!"

"There is a childhood friend of mine at the Public Security Bureau named Liu Jin Zhu, who works in the Public Order Brigade. Could you give him an opportunity to gain experience by letting him participate in this investigation?"

"Liu Jin Zhu? I have some impression of him; he's a very capable young man. No problem, I'll arrange it this afternoon, and the working group will officially begin work tomorrow."

"On behalf of Jin Zhu, I thank County Chief Su for your cultivation. I will have him come to report his work to you often and actively align himself with the organization!"

"A friend of Director Lu's is definitely no problem. Only by properly putting pressure on those young cadres who have potential and can take responsibility can they make progress."

"County Chief, the Secretary has a lot of work, so I won't disturb you any longer. This is some tea I brought for you."

Su Zheng-hao hurriedly declined, "Director Lu, you are too polite. This is inappropriate!"

"It's just a small token of my appreciation, County Chief, please don't look down on it!"

Unable to refuse, Su Zheng-hao laughed, "I also have two boxes of good tea in my house; I'll bring them to you next time."

On June 5th, under the high attention of Director Su Zheng-hao, the County Public Security Bureau established an 8-person working group. Deputy Director Wu Aoran personally led the team, acting swiftly and decisively, and headed to Chengguan Town and the operation area to launch an investigation.

At the same time, they collected blood samples from Du Wenlong to upload to the national missing persons database for searching and comparison, further mobilizing the masses extensively, broadening the sources of clues, and exhausting every possible means to find the missing person through various channels.

15 years ago, Du Wenlong's parents went out to work and left the family affairs to their nephew to take care of. When they returned at the end of the year, they found that the land at home had been occupied, and the operation area had already started construction.

Du Wenlong's parents went to the operation area to demand compensation, but the answer they received was "the money has already been given," yet the nephew claimed he had not received any money.

During the Spring Festival, Du Wenlong's father made quite a scene, demanding that the operation area resolve the issue on grounds of destroying construction equipment and obstructing construction traffic.

With the stalemate continuing, the Deputy Town Chief arrived at the village with the joint defense team and a worker from the operation area, tied up Du Wenlong's father, and took him away. From that day on, Du Wenlong never saw his father again. At that time, there were no police stations in rural areas, and public security management and stability maintenance were generally the responsibility of the township government's joint defense team.

In the year Du Wenlong's father "disappeared," the family received 20,000 yuan from the operation area for land occupation and fruit tree compensation.

Not long after receiving the compensation, a staff member from the operation area said they sympathized with the family's plight and arranged for Du Wenlong's mother to clean, with a monthly salary of over 400 yuan. Looking back now, wasn't that just to hush things up?

Even now, Du Wenlong's mother is still working there, and her salary has risen to over 1,000 yuan.

With her husband neither seen alive nor dead, and forced by the necessities of life, Du Wenlong's mother could not hold on any longer. A few years later, she remarried while taking her three children with her, but she never gave up looking for her ex-husband.

If there had been no strong external intervention, this matter would have been ignored by everyone.

Returned home from Xi'an today, updating as normal.
