Chapter 125 Here's a small token of my appreciation, please accept it.
There was a brief silence on the phone.
Zhou Xiangzhang waited quietly for her boss's reply.
After a moment of silence, Chen Tie finally spoke.
"I'll go down to Meizhou for tea sometime."
Chen Tiecai said something casually, and then hung up the phone.
Zhou Xiangzhang's face darkened, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't say it, he had said it; Chen Tiecai was now forced into this situation.
Li Taoying, carrying documents, pretended to be there to report a problem, leaving the door open and placing the documents on Zhou Xiangzhang's desk.
"Chiang Kai-shek arranged a ship at Humen; it seems he's sensed something."
When Li Taoying mentioned Chiang Kai-shek, she was actually referring to herself.
She also wanted to get off the ship.
Yuanshan County is like a vast ocean, and she is adrift in it; Zhou Xiangzhang's boat is teetering on the brink of capsizing.
The person behind this actually resorted to violent means like blocking the road and killing someone in an attempt to eliminate Chen Dawei; it's utterly ignorant.
Li Taoying was afraid of being on the same boat with these people.
If Chiang Kai-shek could run, why couldn't she?
"That old fox..."
"Xiangzhang, shouldn't we start preparing too?"
Zhou Xiangzhang firmly waved her hand: "I'm not leaving. I'm too old for that. Where can I go?"
"I get seasick even in cars, let alone on a boat!"
A hint of annoyance flashed across Li Taoying's face. She thought to herself, "You old fool, if you're not going to run away yourself, don't drag me down with you. Just let me go."
"Was it A-Dong who did what happened in Xiaotang Town?"
Zhou Xiangzhang nodded slightly, then sighed heavily.
"He's so irresponsible, Xiangzhang. I'll say something I shouldn't: if you don't discipline your son, we'll all be ruined by him."
"Okay, okay," Zhou Xiangzhang waved her hand impatiently.
Li Taoying walked out of the office with a cold face.
After leaving the house, I looked towards the county government building across the street.
Xiao Lili from the Bureau of Veteran Cadres was coming out of the county magistrate's office in the government building. It seemed she was there to report something to Chen Dawei, or perhaps to offer her condolences and visit him—after all, Dawei had been frightened.
Xiao Lili's fawning smile was undisguised.
Li Taoying felt disdain, but also a little envious of Xiao Lili.
Other people can be so openly intimate with Dawei, but she can't...
Before dinner.
Dawei and Wu Maocai went through the plan again and, after confirming that there were no problems, sent it to Ding Tingting's email.
Have Ding Tingting from the Provincial Government Office first give the feedback to the leaders of the Department of Agriculture.
If the leaders think there's no problem, Dawei and his team will then formally submit the plan to the Provincial Department of Agriculture; this is a safer approach.
After finishing this matter, Wu Maocai handed the proposal to commend Lin Yunxing to Dawei for review.
The county government plans to award a certificate of merit for bravery and a bonus of 10,000 yuan, and also intends to have the county television station report on it.
"A certificate is fine, but I don't need the prize money or media coverage."
I would give him some personal bonuses, which would be better.
Don't act like I'm some kind of precious treasure.
Some might argue that public funds were being used to reward a private individual, especially since it was done to save a county magistrate.
Some might argue that Lin Yunxing wouldn't have saved the county if he weren't the county magistrate.
People initially sympathized with me, but in the end, they started gossiping about me.
A commendation within the unit and organizing a training session for logistics staff will suffice.
Wu Maocai took notes: "You've been very thoughtful."
Dawei smiled meaningfully. He understood all these tactics. Wu Maocai deliberately revealed some flaws so that the leader could point them out, thus demonstrating the leader's brilliance.
Everyone went home from get off work.
Dawei, carrying his bag, arrived at the logistics dormitory area and knocked on Lin Yunxing's door.
The room was shabby, and the air conditioner was not very effective at cooling.
"Are you going out, County Magistrate?"
"No, I was getting ready to go home, but I came to see you."
Lin Yunxing got out of bed and put on her shoes.
Logistics Director Liu jogged in carrying a lunchbox. He had just gone to get his food and ran over when he saw Dawei.
"Welcome, leaders, to our dormitory for inspection and guidance." Director Liu greeted us with a smile, holding a lunchbox.
"Director Liu, are there any dorm rooms with better conditions? The lighting here is too poor."
"Yes, it's true, but it hasn't been withdrawn yet; we'll have to wait a few days."
"You should give me a timeframe; we can't neglect the new comrades."
"Four days, within four days we'll definitely get Master Lin a nice, south-facing, sunny dormitory, hehe..."
In fact, Wu Maocai and Director Liu made this arrangement so that Dawei could say this today.
This is all about careful thought.
Lin Yunxing simply couldn't decipher it.
"Okay, you go eat first, I'll chat with Chef Lin."
Director Liu left.
David closed the door, took a file folder from his bag, and placed it on Lin Lao Er's bed.
"What's this?"
"This is just a small token of my appreciation; please accept it."
Lin Yunxing quickly stepped back: "No, no, no, isn't this my job? As your driver, of course I have to protect you. Why would I take the money?"
Dawei pressed Lin Yunxing's hand down and said seriously, "Second brother!"
Listen to me.
You saved my life!
You saved my life...
No matter how much money it is, it's all justified.
I didn't have much money on hand. My ex-wife returned some money a while ago, and I gave it to my parents. That was to repay them for the money they gave us to buy a house.
You can keep this 20,000.
It doesn't mean this thing is worth 20,000; it's priceless.
"From now on, I'll help you buy a car, a house, and get married."
Lin Yunxing was stunned: "Brother Wei, what are you doing? Our family still owes you money, what are you doing...?"
"You can help or you can not help; you can give three parts of your effort or you can give twelve parts."
I can see it.
When you fight with thugs, you're risking everything.
I will never forget this kindness.
Take the money. This is a matter between brothers; we don't need to tell anyone else.
I don't think it's right for the county to give you a reward even if I don't give it to them; we shouldn't use public funds.
If you don't accept it, it means you look down on me and don't consider me a brother.
Lin Yunxing said nothing more and had no choice but to accept the money.
David returned home.
Zhang Guifen prepared a table full of dishes, but Chen Shouren had a poor appetite. He had heard about his son being attacked while investigating in the countryside, but he didn't tell Zhang Guifen.
After dinner, Chen Shouren went to the compound to see Lin Yunxing, bringing braised vegetables and beer. The two of them drank for a long time.
Dawei accompanied Xiaodan for a walk on the greenway behind the community.
Xiao Lili, who was upstairs, felt even more uncomfortable seeing this scene, just as Wu Maocai knocked on the door.
"What brings you here?"
"My wife made these steamed buns, I brought you some. You probably haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Xiao Lili accepted it: "Thank you."
"Don't be sad. They are dignitaries from Kyoto. They don't belong here. They'll only stay for a few days at most."
Xiao Lili glared at him, then smiled mischievously. This Wu Maocai was really shrewd; he could guess what people were thinking.
"Thank you for the steamed buns." Xiao Lili's resentment faded, and she closed the door.
Xiao Yanfang was on duty, following Dawei and Xiaodan at a distance along the greenway. She was dressed in civilian clothes with a gun on her waist.
"County Magistrate Chen."
"Hello, County Chief Chen."
"County Chief Chen is taking a walk."
……
The passerby greeted David in a friendly manner.
Wang Xiaodan didn't notice the police protecting her behind her; her eyes were only on Dawei: "I understand now why you chose to come here instead of staying in Kyoto or the provincial capital."
David smiled and said, "Oh, why do you think I am?"
