After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

Chapter 140 The County Magistrate's Guarantee

The Letters and Calls Bureau will make things difficult.

This was within Lu An's expectations.

After all, before the government agencies these days underwent various reforms, one of the most prominent problems was the four difficulties of "difficult to enter, difficult to see, difficult to hear, and difficult to get things done", and the Letters and Calls Bureau was naturally no exception.

If you don't have enough connections or benefits, people won't bother with you.

Because of this, when Lu An proposed the Letters and Calls Bureau's method just now, all the teachers unanimously mocked Lu An for being naive. Only Xia Shulan, who had also just graduated, was willing to accompany him to give it a try.

Lu An was mentally prepared for Li Jianguo's difficulties. If you can point out the problems and mistakes within the rules of the official game, I can play with you. But now you are cheating, and I am not happy.

Li Jianguo was startled and noticed that Lu An's face had turned gloomy.

But he was not afraid. Instead, he slammed the table and said, "What's the matter? You still don't accept it and want to make a scene? I'm telling you, this is the Petitions Bureau. If you dare to cause trouble here, I'll call the police and have you arrested."

Xia Shulan was startled and immediately grabbed Lu An, asking him to calm down and not to confront these officials.

Lu An was not afraid of him, and he slammed the table: "Call your leader out, you have no right to talk to me!"

These people just bully the weak and fear the strong. Seeing Lu An's tough attitude, Li Jianguo did not dare to neglect him and left dejectedly. Soon after, he brought in a fat middle-aged cadre.

The fat cadre pointed at Lu An angrily and said, "How do I usually teach you? Why waste time talking to a guy like him who comes from nowhere? Just kick him out!"

Lu An was shocked at the time. He originally planned to have a good talk with the fat cadre, but he didn't expect that Section Chief Lu was even more arrogant and overbearing. He didn't even bother to talk to him and just wanted to drive him away.

"stop!"

Lu An shouted, "Section Chief Lu, right? You still remember that you are a cadre of the Petition Bureau, and your duty is to listen to the voices of the people, but what are you doing now? Teacher Xia and I came to report a problem, and you drove us away without saying a word. Do you still have the party discipline and the country's laws in your eyes?"

Wow! You little bastard are really brave!

Section Chief Lu was amused: "How can a group of teachers who can't even get a job position have the qualifications to be so polite in front of me? You don't need to tell me what I should do!"

"What's the point of talking about party discipline and national law? I'm telling you, I am the party discipline and national law. I'll help whoever I want to help!"

Section Chief Lu also said contemptuously: "But if you can kneel down and beg me, I might consider giving you a chance."

Section Chief Lu raised his head and looked at Lu An: "Kneel down! If you don't kneel down, go to where I want you to be. I'm telling you, in this petition office, I have the final say!"

"Captain Lu is so arrogant!"

Suddenly a serious voice sounded from behind.

"My goodness, where did this little turtle come from..."

Chief Lu's impatient voice died down here because he saw the person coming in.

It was a middle-aged man in a dark Mao suit. As he stared at him, Section Chief Lu trembled and stammered, "Hello, County Magistrate Li!"

He is Pingjiang County Magistrate Li Chenggang. Why is this old man here?

Not only did Section Chief Lu, who was the second in command just now, calm down, but everyone else also treated Li Chenggang with great respect. Even Xia Shulan lowered her head. This is the sense of oppression that power brings.

Only Lu An stepped forward and said, "Hello, County Magistrate Li. I would like to ask you whether this Petition Bureau is still the Petition Bureau of the People's Government. Should we still do our petition work?"

Lu An's words were like dropping a bomb, causing a huge storm in everyone's heart.

Everyone stared at the young man in amazement.

That’s the county magistrate!

How dare he say that?

The accompanying petition director quickly jumped out and angrily asked where Lu An came from and what unit he came from: "Who ordered you to make trouble? Who is behind you and what is your purpose? What do you want to subvert? What do you want to disrupt? Hurry up and arrest him!"

Xia Shulan was also startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain that Lu An was just anxious to report the problem, and asked the leader not to bear grudges.

However, no one came up to catch Lu An because Li Chenggang shouted to stop.

Li Chenggang also severely reprimanded the director of the Petition Bureau for talking nonsense: "What subversion and disruption? Can such a label be arbitrarily put on you? Our party and government agencies are supposed to listen to the voices of the people when promoting petition work. If everyone is like you, there will be no way to do petition work!"

Li Chenggang was very glad that he made a surprise visit to the Letters and Calls Bureau today. The man in front of him was a cadre of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. If he was really arrested by the county, he would probably be doomed as a county magistrate.

Seeing that Li Chenggang had the situation under control, Lu An stepped forward and said, "County magistrate, I need to explain the situation to you. Teacher Xia and I just came here on behalf of Pingjiang Middle School to report the problem, and this Section Chief Lu drove us away without any reason. To say that he is a violation of party discipline and national laws, his attitude is terrible!"

Section Chief Lu immediately defended himself: "It's not like that, County Magistrate. His materials were not up to standard. I explained it to him and he was making a fuss. It's all his fault..."

It’s just that Chief Lu was in a panic and seemed incoherent.

"You're lying! You obviously haven't even read the materials I submitted!"

Lu An stepped forward and handed his materials to Li Chenggang: "You are the county magistrate, please judge whether there are any problems with my materials."

Good material!

Li Chenggang couldn't help but admire the vigorous and powerful handwriting, which was a level of writing that made the entire county party committee and county government secretariat team ashamed.

After reading it, Li Chenggang immediately said to the director of the Petition Bureau: "There is nothing wrong with the materials. The officials of the Petition Bureau deliberately made things difficult for the petitioners. They must be dealt with. Chief Lu should be dismissed and investigated immediately!"

As soon as Li Chenggang made the final decision, someone came over and took Chief Lu and Li Jianguo away.

Li Chenggang invited Lu An to sit down in the hall. Li Chenggang took the materials and asked Lu An: "Is the situation you reported true? Did so many teachers at Pingjiang Middle School really lose their positions?"

Lu An nodded: "I can vouch for it with my personal honor. My head teacher, Mr. Zeng, and several other teachers, including Mr. Dong, are all veteran teachers who have taught in the school for at least five years."

Lu An's meaning was very clear. If it was a new teacher like Xia Shulan who was in her first year, it would be understandable that she didn't have a position, but these people were all veteran teachers.

"For such a long time, so many veteran teachers have not had a position. This situation is absolutely unusual!" said Lu An.

Li Chenggang looked at Lu An and asked a key question first: "Do you represent yourself?"

How could Lu An not know that Li Chenggang wanted to ask him whether he had revealed his identity as a member of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, or simply that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had come just for this case.

So he nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "I only represent myself now."

Li Chenggang was obviously relieved, and then he said with a serious face: "I know about this matter. Comrade Lu An, please rest assured. On behalf of the county government, I promise you that I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give a satisfactory explanation to all the teachers of Pingjiang Middle School!"

Lu An smiled and shook hands with Li Chenggang: "I would also like to thank the county magistrate on behalf of all the teachers..."
