The Pinnacle of Power: Rapid Promotions Starting from the Old Cadre Bureau

Chapter 29 Don't Make Special Treatment

Dawei thought he was to go directly to the provincial organization department's office.

Unexpectedly, the car took him to the guesthouse of the provincial organization department.

"Comrade Dawei, Minister Xu has another meeting and can't leave for the time being."

Please rest here for a while.

"Once the minister is finished with his work, we will take you to see him."

David nodded politely in response, "Thank you for your help."

"No trouble at all. This is my phone number. If there's anything you need me to do, you can call me anytime, 24 hours a day."

The young man put down his business card, bowed slightly, took two steps back, and turned to leave the room.

It has to be said that the quality of officials in the provincial capital is indeed different.

Looking around the room, it was clean and tidy, with wooden furniture that gave it a warm yet serious feel.

Before even sitting down, he sent a message to Wang Xiaodan to let her know he was safe.

His family taught him this from a young age: when you arrive at your destination, you should let the people who are seeing you off know so as not to worry them.

"I knew it was your text message, and when I opened it, it really was. So, did you see Minister Xu?"

The other party replied almost instantly.

Dawei felt a surge of joy. He thought back to how Xie Liting had been so cold to him before they were getting a divorce, and how his messages always went unanswered. Compared to that, he realized how good his sister really was to him.

"No, Minister Xu arranged for his men to pick me up at the airport. I'm at the guesthouse now. He said he'll contact me when he's done with his work."

"Well, then you can just wait patiently. Xu Aiguo used to be my brother's secretary. He's a mature and reliable person, and he's loyal to my brother. My brother says he's a dependable comrade."

"Godfather is so thoughtful."

"Do your job well there. If you need anything, ask Minister Xu for advice."

"Hey, I remember, sister."

After posting this, Dawei stood by the window, holding his phone, and waited for a while.

There were no further messages from the other party, it seemed they didn't want to chat for the time being, and Dawei sighed with slight disappointment.

A sudden unease crept into my heart.

He was immersed in the sudden warmth of family affection, but at the same time, a strange feeling quietly grew within him, which he did not want to limit himself to family affection.

This unspoken expectation made Dawei feel somewhat ashamed.

They treat me like a younger brother, but I want to…

Love in this world is the most tormenting thing.

Once a thought takes hold, it's impossible to suppress.

I miss that person as soon as we part, but we can't be together, and it makes my heart ache.

That feeling of being torn apart, like being agonized by something.

Forget it.

They're going back to England soon after they've finished taking care of the old man's business.

Don't even think about it.

Wake up.

She's a fairy from heaven. You, Chen Dawei, are just someone from a small village who luckily got some education and broadened your horizons.

"Without that older brother's help, you'd still have to plant trees when you get back."

David shook his head, feeling a sense of loss, but at the same time, after recognizing himself, he felt a sense of relief.

I took a shower, washed my shirt, and then took out another set of clothes to iron them.

David pays great attention to his demeanor, and since he is meeting Minister Xu later, he needs to be even more careful to leave a good impression.

Just as I finished tidying up, my father, Chen Shouren, called.

They said it was Wu Maocai's father-in-law and Wu Maocai's wife, Qin Hongmei, who brought a lot of things to the elderly couple.

The package included a large winter melon weighing several dozen kilograms, two free-range chickens, a basket of dried peanuts, a bucket of farm-made rapeseed oil, and a large bag of dried sweet potatoes.

They were all brought from the village by Qin Hongmei's family.

He put his things down and left.

Chen Shouren didn't even have a chance to refuse.

Later, Chen Shouren went upstairs, wanting to have a proper talk with someone. He explained that his son wasn't home, and as a father, he couldn't accept these things for fear of getting into trouble. He wanted to return the items.

But when they went upstairs, they found that Wu Maocai and his family no longer lived there.

This worried Chen Shouren greatly, so he immediately called Chen Dawei to ask what to do.

Upon hearing this, David immediately came to a conclusion.

Wu Maocai has sensed something.

Sending these gifts is a gesture, a way of sending a friendly signal.

Even if the disciplinary committee investigates these things, nothing will happen.

The things grown in the countryside are not worth much; they are just normal social interactions.

However, these things fall into the category of "a small gift with great meaning".

Because it wasn't bought with money, but grown by human effort, it represents the hard work and dedication of people.

Such methods are typical of Wu Maocai's style.

However, why is it that Wu Maocai's family no longer lives upstairs?

"Dad, they're giving it as a token of their sincerity, so let's keep it and deal with it when I get back."

However, if they send anything else, you can't accept it; you have to chase after them on the spot and return it to them.

Also, take a good look inside the peanuts and dried sweet potatoes to see if there's anything else hidden inside.

If you've hidden anything, tell me immediately so I can report it to the disciplinary committee.

Chen Shouren said nervously, "We've searched everywhere, but there's nothing there, just agricultural products."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Dad, it'll be alright."

Chen Shouren breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was just afraid of causing you trouble. How about we two old folks go back to the countryside?"

"My mom's leg hasn't fully recovered yet, so she can't stay in the county. That way, I'll have company when I go back. Otherwise, it'll be too lonely for me to live in such a big house."

"Well, okay then..."

David sat by the window, reflecting on the events of the past few days.

After his trip to Kyoto, Xiao Lili and Wu Maocai's attitudes toward him changed drastically.

However, other people's attitudes toward him did not change.

This shows that both of them realized what the problem was and knew which important person he had met in Kyoto. They both had a keen political sense and were intelligent.

From this perspective, it seems that returning to Yuanshan County won't be so difficult for him.

This time, there are at least two potential allies.

It's much better than it was a while ago.

I wonder what position my godfather and Minister Xu are preparing for me?

Dawei sat by the window, pondering matters in Yuanshan County. At noon, a staff member from the guesthouse knocked on his door and invited him to lunch.

The meals at the guesthouse were of a very high standard; David only needed to show his room card to eat without paying.

at this time.

In the canteen of the Yuanshan County government, Dawei's former colleagues were also getting their meals.

An investigation team from the city came specifically to investigate Qiao Yong's suicide by jumping into the river. After several days of investigation, they have reached a conclusion and reported it to the city.

The conclusion is that Qiao Yong committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

The findings of the disciplinary committee's investigation some time ago were true; he did indeed have problems such as embezzlement and bribery, poor lifestyle, frequenting high-end consumption venues, and participating in superstitious activities.

The city's investigation team had been eating at the guesthouse in the county for the past few days. Today, they were going to have lunch with the people at the county government canteen, along with Zhou Xiangzhang and the others.

"Secretary Zhou, don't be special. We'll eat whatever the comrades eat."

The head of the investigation team sat at the table and spoke in a deep, muffled voice.

Zhou Xiangzhang responded with a slight smile: "It's just a normal work meal, there are no special arrangements."

Xie Changhe leaned closer to the team leader from the city and whispered, "How about the leader comes to Wuliangye at noon?"

It should be said that we should start from the platform.

But with so many people in the cafeteria, it's best not to be too conspicuous.

The investigation team leader shrugged and waved his hand, saying, "We won't drink at noon. It will affect our work this afternoon. We still have to go back to the city this afternoon to report to Mayor Chen."

Upon hearing this, Xie Changhe withdrew his hand, which had already reached out to take the wine.

Wu Maocai had already asked for leave, but he was called back at the last minute to accompany them. It wouldn't be proper for such an occasion to not have a cultured person present.

Wu Maocai carried the teapot and poured tea for everyone, a smile always on his face.

At the entrance of the county party committee and county government building, security guards stopped several cars. When the people inside the cars showed their identification, the guards were shocked and immediately opened the gate.

The people sent by Zeng Yongqiang from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection drove the car into the Yuanshan County Party Committee compound.
