Chapter 519
Do you really think I can let a cooked duck fly away?!
Chapter 519 Do you really think I can let a cooked duck fly away?!
Lin Family, Anning County.
The eldest brother of the Lin family threw a tantrum at home: "Dad, you spoil your little sister too much! Do you know how much people hate her for being so disorganized and undisciplined?! Now, my boss is finding fault with her every day."
The eldest brother of the Lin family had a direct supervisor who happened to be the cousin of the cannery director.
Lin Xiaohe ruined someone's relative's livelihood, so of course he'd cause trouble for the eldest brother of the Lin family!
Lin's eldest sister-in-law, holding her child, sat down on the sofa with an icy expression: "I've been suspended from my job, and we can't afford to eat at home anymore. From now on, I'll come to your house to eat every day."
She made a small mistake, but it's a mistake that everyone makes. Why single her out as an example? It's all because of her sister-in-law!
If twelve large state-owned enterprises are involved in shady dealings, don't they think small factories like this one are too? Even the leaders will be affected if they fall.
In the kitchen, Wang Shuxiang clattered pots and pans, her eyes red-rimmed, feeling as if a heavy stone was lodged in her chest, making her feel suffocated.
What kind of mess is this?!
Everyone says they've been blessed with good fortune, but their families don't benefit from it at all; in fact, they suffer the consequences.
Lin Aiguo, the head of the family, smoked one cigarette after another at the dining table.
He hesitated for a long time before saying in a hoarse voice, "I'll call her and see what arrangements to make."
"Oh, is that so? Even if you hadn't called, I would still have contacted you."
Lin Xiaohe was about to board a plane to the capital to visit Lin Aiguo's old leader: "Comrade Lin Aiguo, you should retire early. As for your elder brother and sister-in-law, a tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives. Their personalities won't allow them to go far down this path. They'd be better off going out and trying something new to improve their quality of life."
Lin Aiguo's breath hitched: "Retirement?!"
Lin Xiaohe began checking tickets: "Well, there's going to be an even bigger storm coming. I can protect myself, but I can't protect you."
Given Lin Aiguo's past behavior, it's hard to say whether he will be placed under investigation...
Lin Aiguo's throat tightened, and he gripped the microphone tightly: "Is it really necessary to do this?"
"Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back."
"What are you after?" If you have such great skills, why do you have to struggle in the mud?
Lin Xiaohe boarded the plane. The airport was neither as clean and tidy as it was in later years, nor could it compare to the grandeur of Guixu Star.
The gap between civilizations is like that between ants and gods.
But this place is one of the prisons that the old god built for himself.
Oh.
Lin Xiaohe's gaze was profound, as if it encompassed the distant cosmos: "Human nature is not only evil. This country is the people's country."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Aiguo leaned back weakly on the stool, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
That's it, that's it.
Surely I can't really end up in jail in my next life?!
Without hesitation, Lin Aiguo went to County Magistrate Tian's office the next day to submit his early retirement report.
County Magistrate Tian looked at him with a sense of shared misfortune: "Have you made up your mind?"
Lin Aiguo, with his stubble and bloodshot eyes, said, "I've thought it through. My child has ideals and ambitions, and I can't hold her back."
"Tsk. Well, after a lifetime of hard work, he can finally enjoy a peaceful retirement." County Chief Tian took out the official seal from his drawer and stamped it. "Your daughter didn't say anything?"
"Huh? She's my ancestor now. I'll do whatever she tells me to do, without daring to utter a sound." Lin Aiguo's eyes were sincere, his boastful resentment perfectly conveyed.
County Chief Tian gave him a deep look. When a man in power says he wants to give up his power, it's like a gambling addict trying to quit. Without some strong external force, it's hard for him to make up his mind.
"Alright, I understand. Let the kids come home whenever there's nothing else to do. Career is important, but you also need to take care of your family."
"Okay, thank you, boss."
The office door closed, but County Chief Tian's right eyelid kept twitching; he felt something was amiss, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. The inspection team was already in place, comprised entirely of elite personnel.
Beforehand, he and the Party Secretary set the tone for the inspection team: an investigation was definitely going to be conducted, but the degree of investigation had to be carefully controlled.
Politics is never a simple matter.
These state-owned factories were deeply intertwined, with each factory director having powerful connections behind them.
Although they were section chiefs, their connections extended to the city and province levels.
This is like a hospital in the Eastern Kingdom of Blue Star. The head of a department in a top-tier municipal hospital must have connections in the province.
County Chief Tian felt uneasy and called the inspection team again, emphasizing the importance of peace and stability.
Some things can be investigated, and some things cannot.
He was envious of the achievement of using a pilot project to set an example for the whole province and successfully completing the enterprise reform. This would make them soar and become a topic of conversation for the rest of their lives!
With this in mind, County Chief Tian suppressed his unease and continued to push forward with the work.
After a meeting, the inspection team decided to move into the cannery first.
The inspection team's vehicle was warmly welcomed by the factory workers as soon as it entered the cannery.
While the cannery manager and other management were still exchanging pleasantries with the inspection team, some workers were already preparing to file a formal complaint!
"I, Chen Dayong, hereby formally report that factory director Lin Hai has abused his power for personal gain and established a slush fund!"
"I, Xiao Hui from the Finance Department, hereby file a formal complaint against Factory Director Lin Hai for selling a large quantity of high-quality canned goods at a loss to Tonghai Trading at a low price!"
The letters of complaint sent chills down the spines of the inspection team members.
They glared at Lin Hai resentfully. "How could you be such a factory director?! How could you let public opinion boil over like this?!"
Lin Hai was also stunned. He turned his head and stared blankly at the workers.
Their expressions were so angry, devoid of any of the respect they had shown him before.
The workers looked at him as if he were garbage or a pest, as if they wanted to exterminate him!
Lin Hai's mind went blank. Things seemed to be developing beyond his expectations. This matter might not be as easy as he thought.
No, he can't just sit here and wait to die!
The inspection team couldn't control what Lin Hai thought, so they could only temporarily keep him under surveillance, send special personnel, set up anonymous mailboxes, and investigate and clear up whistleblower letters overnight.
That night, the inspection team's office was brightly lit.
"There are 503 letters in total, of which 231 contain detailed information."
Once you verify it, it's almost certainly true.
The members of the Discipline Inspection Commission were both excited and apprehensive.
Damn, Lin Hai did a terrible job. Based on their experience in handling cases, the workers' accusations are perfectly valid!
The problem is, if the investigation continues like this, won't Lin Hai end up in jail?
This is different from the tone set for the inspection team above.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment. The deputy head of the inspection team went to the two leaders' offices early the next morning to report on the work.
In a flash, County Chief Tian thought of Lin Aiguo, who had taken early retirement.
No wonder he was in such a hurry to retire.
County Magistrate Tian felt deeply aggrieved once again. He was clearly a county official, yet he was being pushed around by a young girl in her early twenties.
How afraid is Lin Xiaohe that the cooked duck will fly away?!
Can we have less scheming and more sincerity between people?
