Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 614 Carp Director

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the municipal party committee held an emergency meeting regarding the grain warehouse fire and came to a conclusion, suspending Hu Youde for investigation.

The granary caught fire, and dereliction of duty is definitely a problem.

Xiao Long brought the Discipline Inspection Committee to Hu Youde's home with legitimate reasons.

What surprised the investigators was that Hu Youde was not anxious like other people who had been taken away for investigation. Instead, he sat at the dining table and ate heartily, gnawing on the sweet and sour carp.

The big carp was fried until golden brown and drizzled with syrup, which looked tempting in color. Hu Youde ate it with big mouthfuls, and in no time, only the bones were left.

Xiao Long thought, no wonder he is so fat. How can he not weigh 200 pounds if he eats so many sweets every day?

Faced with the arrival of Xiao Long and others, Hu Youde just looked up and buried his head in the carp again.

Judging from the remains on the table, he had eaten at least seven or eight.

The service staff from the Grain Bureau canteen came in at the right time and brought a plate of freshly baked Yellow River carp.

Xiao Long pulled out a stool and sat down opposite Hu Youde. "Hey, Director Hu, you're really fast. It's only been two or three hours since we came back from the granary, and you've already eaten so much fish."

Hu Youde looked at Xiao Long with some fear, then looked at the disciplinary committee staff. He felt relieved, but he still didn't dare to confront Xiao Long. He simply continued to compete with the big carp.

Xiao Long sighed, "When I was recording the statements of your comrades from the Grain Bureau just now, they all mentioned your hobby of eating large carp from the Yellow River.

I really like to eat it. I eat it in the morning, when I have nothing to do, and when I have something to do. I can treat you without anything else, but this big carp from the Yellow River must be on the table, otherwise you will get angry.

I always thought they were exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be true. I said, you have a disease, you need treatment!"

"You... are the one..." Hu Youde was stunned and blurted out, but swallowed the last word.

Xiao Long said, "Don't be so unconvinced. Think about it, who among the normal people eats like you?" He lowered his voice and said with a half-smile, "Are you worried that you won't be able to eat it in the future?"

Hu Youde paused, glanced at Xiao Long, and didn't want to respond. Instead, he finished the fish in his hand in silence.

He threw the skeleton away and moved the fish he had just brought over. He also looked up and yelled at the waiter, "What are you still standing there for! Keep serving me!"

So what if the Discipline Inspection Commission comes to your house?

He had already calculated that the granaries that were burned, including the granaries he stole, contained no more than two or three hundred tons of grain, so the loss was not too great. As long as there were people above him to help, his crime would not be too serious. At most, he would be dismissed from his post, which would make it easier to transfer him.

The waiter looked at Xiao Long and the others, then at Hu Youde, not knowing what to do for a moment. Even a fool could see that this group of people were going to take their Director Carp away.

Hu Youde was furious. He didn't dare to get angry at Xiao Long, but he dared to show off to the waiter. He slammed the table and shouted, "Go! Cook me some fish!"

Xiao Long snorted a laugh and waved his hand to let the waiter go. "Director Hu, don't eat the fish. You're eating the people's money. Let's stop here." He then said to the leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission, "Director Hao, please keep good records. These may be used as evidence of Director Hu's illegal eating and drinking."

Director Hao nodded and nodded to his subordinates. One of them stepped forward, picked up the camera and started taking pictures.

Hu Youde wanted to get angry but held it back and directed his anger at the last fish. The fish was steaming hot, and Hu Youde didn't mind the heat. He grabbed the fish head with one hand and the tail with the other and started to chew it.

The disciplinary committee staff took a photo of him eating the fish at the right time.

This photo was soon placed on the desks of the three secretaries of Beishan City.

Lin Gangjian was really furious.

The other party's appearance of being a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water is by no means a sign of innocence, but rather a sign that he has something to rely on.

He had suffered a setback.

Qi Tongwei pointed at the photo and asked, "What's wrong with his face?"

Xiao Long remained calm and said, "I fell."

"Falling?" Qi Tongwei looked at Xiao Long whose eyes were wandering and knew that it was the other party's doing.

This guy has been the town party secretary, but he is still so impulsive.

He Anxia didn't care too much whether such a small director was beaten or tortured, but looked at Guan Siyuan who came with Xiao Long to ask about the specific loss statistics.

Guan Siyuan, the Executive Deputy Director of the Grain Bureau, immediately replied, "Mayor, we've counted the numbers. Aside from a few people who fell while rescuing people, there were no casualties.

According to accounting statistics, the total amount of grain burned was 219 tons, and including other losses, the direct economic loss was 230 million yuan.

When they heard the number of 230 million, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There were no casualties, and the loss of several hundred tons of grain was insignificant for a city, so it could only be considered an ordinary accident.

Qi Tongwei nodded and looked at Guan Siyuan, "Comrade Siyuan, I think your Director Hu has become corrupt, has lost his ideals and beliefs, and has betrayed his original aspirations and mission.

Before the new director of the Grain Bureau takes office, you have to take charge of the work of the Grain Bureau.

Especially with winter approaching, people's food purchases may surge. You must be well prepared and replenish food in a timely manner to ensure stable market prices."

Guan Siyuan replied, "Yes, Mayor. I have already made active contacts before coming here. I have contacted several grain merchants and applied to higher authorities for grain access to the market."

When he heard about applying to his superiors, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but think of Vice Governor Qu.

“Is it difficult to apply to the higher authorities?”

Guan Siyuan was stunned at first. He thought the mayor didn't know Hu Youde's background, but he didn't dare to say anything bad about Qu Zhengping. He said tactfully, "Maybe a little. There are millions of laid-off workers in the province right now. Many areas are giving out grain instead of cash like we do, so the food supply in the province is very tight."

Qi Tongwei knew it well. "Try to follow the procedures first. If the application doesn't work, then buy it. But you have to control the price. If you encounter any difficulties, report it to us and we will solve it."

"Yes, Mayor."

He Anxia also issued instructions, saying: "We must calm this matter down as soon as possible. The provincial party committee leaders will come to Beishan in the next two days. We must not let this incident affect Beishan's image.

Moreover, the provincial party committee leaders chose a very clever time to come this time, which was when we were distributing the second month's basic living allowance.

Now that the people have money, they will definitely buy grain first. We must not let this matter affect the fluctuation of grain prices." He then said to Qi Tongwei, "Comrade Tongwei, mobilize the comrades from the industrial and commercial departments to conduct inspections throughout the city to ensure that there are no unscrupulous merchants raising prices."

Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "I'll go down and make arrangements later."

He Anxia then said to Xiao Long, "Comrade Xiao Long, your public security has a heavy task. The provincial leaders are coming, and safety is the top priority. Your bureau should formulate a plan. I want to see it."

Except for Qi Tongwei, everyone else found it a little strange. The last time Governor Zhao Anbang came, He Anxia didn't make such a big fuss.

Only Qi Tongwei understood that He Anxia was worried that Deputy Secretary Yu was here to find fault, so he treated it as a formidable enemy.
