Chapter 54: Crooked
Family area of the Management Committee. It was originally built together with an office building. The two are not far apart. Even standing on the balcony can look at each other. Because the land was not worth much at that time. The community covers a large area. The floor area ratio is only 0.5. It's all small high-rises. The layout of the interior is particularly elegant. Pine and cypress, gurgling streams, and flowers. Butterflies and warblers fly. It makes people feel like they are in some beautiful scenic area.
As a veritable leader of the high-tech zone. Lin Chenwan said that he was a person. However, the housing is also the best in the whole community. A small two-story white building. There are separate courtyards. There is also a garden enclosed by a beautiful white wrought iron fence at the back of the house. Green lawn in the garden. There are a few plane trees planted. Be in full leaf. It's like a natural umbrella. Sit here and drink tea on a hot day. It's also a different kind of enjoyment.
Walk into the house. The lower floor is the living room, dining room, kitchen, washroom, guest room and maid's room. The second floor is the study. Master bedroom. Side bedrooms. Washroom. The master bedroom also has a large balcony. The floor is covered with a thick carpet of crimson wool. People walking on it seem to suddenly become cats. I didn't make a sound when I walked. The walls of the room are covered with camphor wood wainscoting. The small building exudes a faint fragrance of camphor wood. in the living room. Leather sofas imported from abroad are surrounded by a circle. Coffee tables and other furniture can be seen as high-end goods. At the foot of the wall is a new rear-projection high-definition large-screen color TV. There's also a full suite of synthesized audio equipment.
"Your management committee is corrupt enough." As soon as I entered the door. Chen Jia was like having eaten gunpowder. sneered: "I don't think even the place where the central leaders live is as luxurious as yours." ”
Bao Yongzhe on the side secretly complained in his heart. He couldn't figure out Chen Jia and Lin Chendu. What exactly is the relationship. It looks like an acquaintance and friend. But Chen Jia spoke with a gun and a stick. did not show mercy to Lin Chendui at all. But no matter what grievances the two people have. He was caught in the middle, but it was particularly embarrassing. He really regretted coming to this trip today.
"How. You went to the place where the central leaders lived. Lin Chenwan said with a smile. In fact, he was shocked when he first came. Although the luxury of office buildings and cars. It has made him mentally prepared for the luxury of his residence. But I still didn't expect it. This accommodation is even worse than the villa. But Zhang Yongli said. The size of the house in the entire family area is not small. Even the average staff member lives in a duplex house. Who's to say that no one wanted to come here at that time. Good accommodation is also a kind of compensation for everyone. The market also acquiesced in this. And several department-level cadres of the management committee. They all live in this kind of two-story single-family building that they commonly call the "Director's Building". If Lin Chendui can't stay. First, there are no other suitable housing arrangements. Second, the other chief secretaries and staff members were also uneasy. And it's even more wasteful if the house is empty.
Hear him say that. Lin Chendui could only stay first. Style is important. But you have to be gregarious. After all, a house is not the same as a car. He couldn't put the house up for auction as well. Have all the staff of the management committee move out. If that's the case. Then he's the leader. The work has not yet begun. It's really angry. He fed himself and his whole family was not hungry. But we can't ask others to have their own thoughts and realizations. There are many historical reasons to revise and adjust slowly.
"Haven't eaten pork. I haven't seen a pig run. Chen Jia gave him a blank look. He muttered in a low voice, "I don't know if I'm here to work." Still come here to enjoy. ”
She muttered quietly. Lin Chendui didn't hear it clearly. Just laughing. took out two boxes of unopened tea leaves from the cabinet next to the living room, handed them to Bao Yongzhe and said, "These are these two boxes of tea that Sun Yiyu sent at the beginning. ”
Bao Yongzhe has not yet answered. Chen Jia snatched it up. I didn't open it to see it. Instead, he glanced at the cabinet where Lin Chendui put the tea and asked, "You have so much tea." How do you know that these two boxes were sent by Sun Yiyu. ”
See that she is aimed at herself everywhere. Come here in the car. He also ignores himself. Lin Chenwan smiled bitterly. said: "Generally speaking. I won't accept any gifts. Except for some local souvenirs, it is really unbearable. After receiving it, I will give something back. In order to avoid accidentally giving away something that someone else has sent. I put their names on the things they gave away. ”
Chen Jia took a closer look when he heard this. Sure enough, Sun Yiyu's name was found in an inconspicuous corner of the tea packaging box.
"Secretary Lin. Can we open it up and take a look. Bao Yongzhe asked.
"Absolutely." Lin Chendui smiled. said: "I also want to know if Sun Yiyu really stuffed the money into this." ”
"What if there is." Chen Jia asked.
Lin Chenwan smiled. He muttered again, "If there really is." Of course, the money should be returned to the other party. Or hand it over to your Commission for Discipline Inspection. Meantime. Be careful in the future, too. Don't repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
"Huh. We believe too. Secretary Lin is a good cadre who is honest and honest. Bao Yongzhe was afraid that Chen Jia would say something unpleasant again. He hurriedly said with a smile. After that, he said to Chen Jia: "Xiao Chen." Then open it up and take a look. ”
Chen Jia placed the box on the coffee table. After tearing open the package. Gently lift the lid again. Both Lin Chenwan and Bao Yongzhe stared at the box a little nervously. At this moment. Time seems to be moving very slowly. The space is also gradually solidified. The box in Chen Jia's hand also seemed to have become very heavy. It was as if it took all the strength of the body to lift it up.
But when the box is opened. There were only a few packets of beautifully packaged tea inside. No cash or anything of great value was found. A look of disappointment appeared on Chen Jia's face. Some are reluctant to pinch a few bags of tea. But nothing unusual was found.
"Huh. It looks like a false alarm. "Although it was nothing. Bao Yongzhe seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. said to Lin Chenwan with a smile.
Lin Chenwan also felt a little strange. If Sun Yiyu didn't stuff money into the tea box. How could he frame himself again. Said that he sent money to himself. I just want to throw dirty water on myself. Or did he simply remember wrong. The gift of stuffing money was returned to him by himself.
"Secretary Lin. What a disturbing day. Excuse me. Chen Jia also said to Lin Chenwan seriously.
The two of them were just about to leave. But he was stopped by Lin Chendui: "Since you came here today." Just check it out for me. There is no money in other things sent by others. ”
Although it was a false alarm. But it also sounded a wake-up call for Lin Chendu. This time, Sun Yiyu did not stuff money into the tea. If you can't keep it, someone will do it. Anyway this kind of thing. I hate it and never say it. Spreading it will also damage one's reputation and reputation. In particular, beware of people deliberately trying to frame you.
"This. Don't worry about it. Bao Yongzhe hesitated. Who knows if what Lin Chenwan said was a kind word.
Chen Jia said, "Okay." We looked into it together. So as not to trouble later. You just take everything out. Don't miss it. ”
See her grinning. Bao Yongzhe couldn't help but feel a big headache. Even if it's the Commission for Discipline Inspection. We also need to pay attention to ways and means in our work. How can you do this? Fortunately, this is Lin Chendu. If it were someone else. I don't know what else I think. After I go back. Hurry up and return this girl to Secretary Cui. Run errands with her. I don't know what trouble is going to happen.
Lin Chenwan rummaged through the boxes and took out all the things sent by others. I don't usually think so. You can put these things together. But it's also a lot of dazzling. Tobacco and liquor, tea, small household appliances, electronic products. There's even some plate duck ham or something like that. But there's a lot of stuff. It's not worth much. That's what Bao Yongzhe did. At a casual glance, you can roughly count it. The things here don't add up to more than five thousand dollars. Of course. It's pretty good for the average person. But for Lin Chendu, who is in power, it is really not worth mentioning. It's even a little shabby. Bao Yongzhe dared to say. In Wuxi. Just take a village chief out casually. Other people send far more than that.
Although Bao Yongzhe is from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. However, I also have to admit that there is still a exchange of courtesies between people. Especially Lin Chendu, who is a leader. It is the most normal thing for subordinates to give some gifts during the New Year's holidays. As long as the amount is not large. It's all excusable. After all, party members and cadres cannot help but talk about human feelings.
Chen Jia began to stir up there. Some are packaged transparently. You don't have to open it to see what's inside. It was quickly put aside. And those that are gift-packed. But they all have to be opened and checked. Lin Chenwan smiled bitterly. Once you have these things in your hands. I barely bothered about it. It's not easy to keep it all open. I can only take it away and give it away.
When you take apart a cigarette. Chen Jia paused obviously. Because it felt like the cigarette had been opened to her. It was resealed. Gently pinched the cigarette case. It doesn't feel like it's a cigarette inside. Squishy.
"What's wrong. What's the problem. Lin Chenwan also noticed Chen Jia's different color. I couldn't help but ask.
Chen Jia didn't speak. Just handed him the box of cigarettes in his hand.
Lin Chenwan took it and took a look. I was also shocked. He's kind of an old smoker, too. At first glance, you can tell that there is something wrong with this box of cigarettes. Tear open the cigarette case by dividing it by two. A vivid red color catches your eye. Take it out and take a look. Sure enough, it was a hundred-dollar bill that had been rolled up. There are more than a dozen cigarettes in one cigarette box.
Lin Chendui was stunned for a moment. He grabbed the other cigarette cases and opened them. The same is true inside. It's the same after opening four or five packs in a row. Extrapolate accordingly. One or two thousand in a box. Then two cigarettes are thirty or forty thousand. Blame yourself too. I'm used to smoking Hwacheon's green clouds. I bought a few before coming to Wuxi. When Jiang Meixuan came. I brought myself a few more. I haven't finished smoking any of these cigarettes. So I didn't even think to open it up and take a look. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been found out at this time.
I saw cash taken out of the cigarette case. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little stagnant. Chen Jia didn't say anything. Just looked at Lin Chendui. And Bao Yongzhe also felt a little depressed. Coughed slightly. asked, "Secretary Lin." Do you remember? Who gave you this cigarette. ”
Lin Chendui was like waking up from a dream. Hurriedly looked through the corner of the cigarette case. I couldn't help but be surprised: "It's him." ”
