Lu Zhuo finally decided to call his cousin, Lu Xianwen, member of the Standing Committee of the Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, for help.

Lv Xianwen had just returned to the office after attending a meeting when he received a call from Lv Zhuo. Listening to his cousin's somewhat sad self-narration on the other end of the phone, he felt a little disappointed, but there was only one thing he had to do, which was to save his cousin's political career.

"Lü Zhuo, what can I say to you? Do you think that if you can do a good job in the Provincial Party Committee's Inspectorate, you can do the same job well when you go to the local level? In fact, there are some things I have kept in my heart and didn't say them, because I don't want to put any pressure on you. But now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to say them. If I don't say them, you will never learn your lesson and will always be so arrogant."

"What's the matter? Just tell me, cousin." When Lu Zhuo heard the hidden meaning in his cousin's words, his heart moved. He didn't quite understand the meaning of the words, and his anticipation became even stronger.

"Well, then listen carefully. Do you know why you were able to have smooth sailing in the Provincial Party Committee's Inspectorate before? That has nothing to do with your work attitude to a large extent. The most important factor is that the Provincial Party Committee's Inspectorate is a force under my power. They are under my jurisdiction, and everyone knows the relationship between you and me. Naturally, everyone will give in to you and follow your temper at work. That's because everyone knows that even if you are willful, if there are any problems at work, I will help you solve them and help you cover them. The pitiful thing is that you didn't realize it at all. You always thought that you could achieve such results now because of your personal efforts. As a result, you still used the same methods in the Inspectorate after you arrived in Dahu County. If you don't get frustrated, who will be frustrated?"

After Lu Xianwen said this, Lu Zhuo finally came to his senses and recalled the scenes in the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office. Indeed, from the director and deputy director to the staff below, they all seemed to be very considerate of him. At that time, he thought that was because his work direction, work methods and opinions were correct, but now thinking about it, it was because people gave face to his cousin. In fact, it was not because of his outstanding work ability, but because he had a cousin who people could not afford to offend.

After realizing this, Lu Zhuo felt even more ashamed. "Cousin, I embarrassed you. I was wrong."

"Well, it's a good thing to know that you are wrong. You are not too old. As long as you admit your mistakes and correct them, you will still have a future." Lu Xianwen was very pleased to see his cousin admit his mistake on the other end of the phone. People say that a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold, and sometimes suffering a loss is a good thing.

Speaking of age, although Lv Zhuo is not very old, he is only in his early thirties, and he is considered young to be a member of the county party committee. However, because of this incident, Secretary Fang and Feng Sizhe have already gone to the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee. If they succeed in taking him down, he will need to start all over again. If he wants to start all over again, he will be too old. He thought that no matter what, he must not capsize in this matter, otherwise it will be a big problem. He said in a pleading tone on the phone, "Cousin, I know I was wrong now, but the secretary and the county magistrate of Dahu County have already gone to the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee together. I think they will definitely ask for an explanation on this matter. I am afraid that I will..."

"Alas... You don't have to worry too much about this matter. Let me call Yongyang City in a minute. I think they will still give me this face. But I'm only saying this once. If you make similar mistakes in the future and don't know how to repent, then I really can't help you in the future. Do you understand? There is another thing I want to remind you. Although your Dahu County Mayor Comrade Feng Sizhe is very young, he is actually very capable at work. He is very organized, not impatient but step-by-step, and has forward-looking thinking. You should not be an enemy of such a person, but make friends with him, learn more of his methods, and use them for your own benefit. This is the best way for you to grow."

"Okay, thank you cousin. I will listen to you and get along well with County Magistrate Feng. At the same time, I will write a self-criticism right now and write down all the mistakes I made during my time in Dahu County. I will correct them and learn more about the local officials' methods of doing things and dealing with people." When Lu Zhuo heard that his cousin was willing to lend a helping hand, he was of course very happy and expressed his attitude immediately.

Even if wheels are fast, they are not as fast as telephone lines. When Fang Xianzhi and Feng Sizhe first arrived at the office of Geng Xiao, secretary of the Yongyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Geng Xiao was already sitting in front of them with a calm expression on his face.

As soon as he pushed the door open and saw Principal Geng's expression, Feng Sizhe's heart skipped a beat. His intuition told him that Secretary Geng's expression was not a good sign. It was obvious that he had just experienced an ideological struggle. Could it be that Lu Zhuo had fought back so quickly and put pressure on him through the higher-ups? Well, it was very likely. Principal Geng's expression had already explained everything.

Feng Sizhe noticed that Principal Geng was different from before, but Fang Xianzhi did not. After entering the office, he began to list one by one everything that Lu Zhuo had done in Dahu County, and also mentioned the decision that the Dahu County Party Committee Standing Committee had just made.

Fang Xianzhi's intention was very clear, he wanted to transfer Lu Zhuo away. He came to Secretary Geng this time to seek assistance and support.

Principal Geng did not give a direct answer to this question, but looked at Feng Sizhe who was sitting next to him, "Comrade Sizhe, what do you think?"

When asking this question, Feng Sizhe clearly heard a hint of helplessness in Principal Geng's tone, from which he could confirm his previous thoughts. It seemed that Lv Zhuo had really done some work first. Thinking that Lv Zhuo's cousin was the secretary general of the provincial party committee and a member of the provincial party committee standing committee, it obviously took a lot of courage for a municipal party committee standing committee member to offend a provincial party committee standing committee member. In consideration of others, and in addition to the fact that although Lv Zhuo had done something wrong, he had been in Dahu County for a short time after all, and he could not be beaten to death just because he had done something wrong, Feng Sizhe finally spoke after hesitating for a while.

"Then Secretary Geng asked me to say a few words, so I'll say a few words. The situation is like this. Although Comrade Lu Zhuo was a bit reckless in his approach after coming to Dahu County and did some things that were not conducive to unity and development, his starting point was still good. At least he is not bad in nature. He did not intend to gain any benefits for himself through this major investigation. So I think..." Feng Sizhe smiled at Fang Xianzhi, the county party secretary who was staring at him, and said, "I think as long as he can fully recognize his mistakes, such a comrade can still be saved."

"Hey, Comrade Feng Sizhe, what are you talking about? We are at the county party committee standing committee meeting..." Fang Xianzhi was obviously a little surprised when he heard Feng Sizhe's statement. He thought Feng Sizhe would definitely speak on his side. As long as the secretary and the county magistrate expressed their opinions at the same time and their opinions were consistent, the municipal party committee would have to consider their feelings. In that case, the possibility of Lv Zhuo being transferred would be very high. But he never expected that Feng Sizhe would change his mind as soon as he entered Secretary Geng's office.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Principal Geng's face rarely showed a trace of smile. After he stopped Fang Xianzhi from speaking, he said excitedly, "Well, I think Comrade Sizhe's words are correct. Comrade Lv Zhuo has just arrived in Dahu County and doesn't know Dahu County very well. It is inevitable that he will use the Provincial Party Committee's system to do things, so it is understandable that he made mistakes. The principle of our party is to allow comrades to make mistakes. As long as it is not a problem of line or essence, everything else can be discussed. Then I think it is better to follow Comrade Sizhe's opinion. After you two return to Dahu County, you can carry out some ideological education for Comrade Lv Zhuo. If he changes, it's fine. If he still doesn't change, then our Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will also consider submitting an application to the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee for the appointment of Comrade Lv Zhuo. What do you think?"

Principal Geng did receive a call from Lv Xianwen. Comrade Geng is also an excellent cadre of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Under normal circumstances, he would not give face to other leaders. But Lv Xianwen is different. First, he is a leader of the Provincial Party Committee and is in charge of the Provincial Party Committee's Inspectorate. It can be said that there are many things related to his work. Secondly, as far as he knows, Secretary-General Lv is a good person. He is fair and has a strong sense of justice. Principal Geng has a good impression of such a leader. In addition, the Provincial Party Committee Inspectorate has supported the work of the Yongyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection on several occasions, so he really doesn't know how to refuse Lv Xianwen's plea for his cousin.

That's why he looked embarrassed. Of course, Comrade Geng Xiao finally strengthened his belief. If the secretary of the Dahu County Party Committee and the county magistrate both meant the same thing this time, he would fully understand the leaders of Dahu County. As for Secretary-General Lu, he would explain it later. If the other party listened, that would be the best. If not, there would be nothing he could do.

But what Geng Xiao didn't expect was that Feng Sizhe seemed to understand his heart very well at the critical moment, and he took the initiative to excuse Lu Zhuo, which made him less embarrassed, and of course he would immediately support Feng Sizhe's opinion. Of course, he would also have some feelings for Feng Sizhe in his heart.
