Lu Hao was too exhausted and did not return to his residence, instead, he went back to the county committee office building, which was very close to the county guesthouse.
He had a simple bed in his office and planned to rough it for the night.
Up until now, Lu Hao's expression was still dazed.
Although he didn't know how the higher-ups would deal with Liu Yuanda, if the allegations of keeping Liu Ruoyan as a mistress and accepting bribes in gold bars were true, it would be enough for Liu Yuanda to lose his position, and he might even end up in prison.
With his patron gone, there was certainly no hope for a deputy section chief position, so what path should he take in the future?
Feeling somewhat dejected, Lu Hao entered his office, first charged his dead phone, and then his last nerve finally gave way, and he fell asleep instantly.
He slept so deeply that it wasn't until the violent vibration of his phone the next day that woke him up.
The call was from the county chief, Li Zhen, who asked Lu Hao to come to his office immediately.
Li Zhen and his cousin Liu Yuanda were mortal enemies. It was said that when the position of the county party secretary of Anxing was internally designated by the province, it was Li Zhen. The organization had already started the inspection, but in the end, it was Liu Yuanda who parachuted into the position of county party secretary, leaving Li Zhen to continue to wait in the second position.
Since then, the two have been at odds, and with Liu Yuanda being the top dog, making many decisions forcefully, Li Zhen did not dare to openly confront Liu Yuanda and could only complain in secret, even making some small moves.
Lu Hao went to the bathroom to wash his face, tried to put on a normal smile, and went to Li Zhen's office.
The county committee and the county government were in the same building. On the way, he met some colleagues who usually couldn't wait to chat with Lu Hao.
But now, everything has changed, and everyone avoids him, even hearing some people gloating in the office.
When Lu Hao walked into Li Zhen's office, in addition to Li Zhen, who was somewhat balding and sitting in front of the desk, he also saw a woman sitting on the sofa.
If it were another woman, it would be fine, but what shocked Lu Hao was that this woman was actually Liu Ruoyan, the rumored mistress of his cousin!
"County Chief Li," Lu Hao greeted, then looked at Liu Ruoyan with complicated eyes.
Liu Ruoyan today was still dressed charmingly, with light makeup, wearing a white dress, and her fair long legs were particularly eye-catching.
At this moment, Liu Ruoyan was drinking tea, her pretty face was rosy, and she was smiling at him.
Lu Hao directly avoided her gaze, thinking that this woman was indeed not simple!
Not long ago, she often ran to Liu Yuanda's office, but now that Liu Yuanda has fallen, she was not only unaffected but also immediately hooked up with Li Zhen. She is worthy of being a famous woman in the officialdom, with many tricks.
"Come, sit down quickly," Li Zhen held his golden glasses and smiled meaningfully at Lu Hao.
Lu Hao straightened his waist and sat on the chair opposite Li Zhen's desk, wondering what the other party called him for.
Li Zhen coughed lightly and said slowly, "Lu Hao, I called you here for three things."
There are quite a few things, Lu Hao muttered in his heart, and glanced at Liu Ruoyan again.
Why is Liu Ruoyan still here when Li Zhen is talking to him?
Liu Ruoyan seemed to realize what Lu Hao was thinking, and said, "County Chief Li, then you talk first, I'll go out."
"No need, Ms. Liu, our Anxing County is a poor county, and we are counting on your companies to invest and develop here to promote development. I'm just talking to the people below, and you can listen."
Liu Ruoyan sat down again and winked at Lu Hao with a smile, as if to say this is not what I want to stay.
Lu Hao didn't bother to look at her anymore, always feeling in his heart that this woman must be related to Liu Yuanda's accident.
"Lu Hao, I believe you already know that my brother Yuanda was taken away by the disciplinary committee, which also shocked me very much. I can't believe it, I can't believe it." Li Zhen sighed affectedly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't cover up the smile.
Lu Hao didn't say a word, knowing that Li Zhen was deliberately disgusting people. If something happened to Liu Yuanda, Li Zhen would definitely be the happiest.
"The first thing is mainly to comfort you, after all, brother Yuanda is your cousin, I hope you can cheer up and work well; the second thing is that the leaders above ordered me to temporarily preside over the work of the county committee, so you need to organize the work of the county committee office, and I will find someone to hand over with you." Li Zhen's expression became serious.
Lu Hao's heart thumped, but he still squeezed out a smile and said, "County Chief Li, congratulations, congratulations on your promotion."
Although he knew that it was because of Liu Yuanda's accident that Li Zhen had this opportunity, but in the system, any thoughts cannot be shown.
"What promotion, don't give me a high hat, I'm just temporarily taking over the position of the county party secretary." Li Zhen waved his hand on the surface, but the smile on his face couldn't be covered up at all.
Lu Hao sneered in his heart, knowing that Li Zhen would say so.
Sure enough, Li Zhen, like a smiling tiger, said again, "Lu Hao, the comrades of the disciplinary committee came to inform me about your situation in the morning, saying that you resisted the organizational review and had a bad attitude. It is suggested that the county should punish you, but considering that you have been doing a good job in the county committee office, after our leadership team discussed and decided, the punishment will be waived."
"Thank you, County Chief Li," Lu Hao hurriedly thanked with a fake smile, but he didn't feel relieved in his heart, but even more worried.
He knew that this was the sweet date given by Li Zhen, and there must be a follow-up.
He was labeled with Liu Yuanda, and he had offended Li Zhen for some important matters, and Li Zhen could not let him go so simply, but he didn't know how this guy wanted to deal with himself.
Soon, Li Zhen smiled again and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, although there is no punishment for you, but you are no longer suitable to stay in the county committee."
"According to the needs of work, the organization decided to adjust your position and transfer you to the poverty alleviation office in Fangshui Township to work. There is a front line of poverty alleviation, and it is relatively easy to promote at the grassroots level. With your ability, I believe it won't take long to be promoted to deputy section chief."
When Lu Hao heard this, he was stunned.
He guessed that Li Zhen would vent his dissatisfaction with Liu Yuanda on him and might even adjust his work, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to send him to Fangshui Township.
Anxing County is a poor county, and Fangshui Township is the most remote and poorest township in the county.
Li Zhen threw him there, which is clearly to make him die. Once he goes to Fangshui Township, he will probably be there for the rest of his life.
At this moment, Lu Hao's face was very ugly.
Liu Ruoyan, who had been drinking tea, was also stunned for a while, but soon her face returned to normal.
"Lu Hao, what's wrong? Do you have any opinions on the organization's arrangement?" Seeing this, Li Zhen asked with a smile.
"I have no opinion, County Chief Li's arrangement must be reasonable." Lu Hao said with a sneer.
He knew that this was all intentional by Li Zhen. Liu Yuanda fell, and he was used by him to show his power.
"It's not me who arranged it, it's the organization that arranged it, it's the unanimous decision of the county leadership team." Li Zhen knocked on the table and frowned to emphasize.
The organization and he are completely different things. This kid actually dared to imply in his words that he was taking revenge in the name of the organization.
"Right, right, right, it's arranged by the organization, it has nothing to do with County Chief Li," Lu Hao still had a smiling face, but his words obviously contained a hint of sarcasm.
Even if he was angry, he couldn't completely tear his face, otherwise, he would completely anger Li Zhen.
Li Zhen's face was naturally very ugly, but he also knew that he couldn't slap the table and get angry.
He is the county chief, and he is now temporarily presiding over the work of the county committee, and he will soon become the top leader. If he publicly cares about a young guy, isn't it a self-degradation and a joke?
"Forget it, don't be frivolous here, Lu Hao, the house that the county committee allocated to you before, you have to vacate today, and you can't live there anymore. At the same time, give you an hour to hand over the work, and go to Fangshui Township to report before noon. Young people should go to the grassroots to experience and serve the people." Li Zhen said impatiently with a gloomy face.
Listening to these high-sounding words, Lu Hao felt sick and left without looking back.
