Siheyuan, my new life

Secretary Chai of Jinmen, who was urgently convening a secretary's office meeting, kept smoking with an anxious look on his face. As the meeting was called at short notice, two of the deputy secretaries were not in the unit but had gone to the district below. Although the secretary reported that they had all been notified and the two deputy secretaries also said that they would be back within an hour, Secretary Chai was still a little anxious.

Finally, the last deputy secretary hurried into the office and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Secretary Chai, what's the emergency?" He had just arrived at the district when he received a call from the city, asking him to come back immediately for a meeting. He drove all the way back to the city and didn't even go back to his office, but came directly here.

Secretary Chai frowned and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Lin Yu from Beijing has arrived in Tianjin."

Deputy Secretary Fan, who had just walked to the sofa and sat down, said nonchalantly: "It is only right for Lin Yu to come back to deal with his father's funeral. Although the father-son relationship has been severed, the dead are the greatest after all. What's so strange about this?"

Secretary Chai stared at him closely and slowly said, "Lin Yu brought six jeeps and an unknown number of entourages. He first went to the Dongxing Subdistrict Office to pick up his mother Zhou Xiu, then rushed to the hospital morgue and directly asked eight entourages to carry the coffin and walk back to Lin Pengcheng's home. Halfway along the way, three jeeps and a group of people sent by relevant departments also accompanied Lin Yu and his party, carrying the coffin and walking together."

Deputy Secretary Fan's face changed drastically. He couldn't help but shout, "What does this Lin Yu want to do? It's nonsense. Does he still have our Jinmen Municipal Government in his eyes?"

Secretary Chai could no longer hold back his suppressed anger and slammed his desk heavily: "That's enough. You are still thinking about these useless things at this time. Don't you understand what Lin Yu means? He is telling us clearly that Lin Yu is very dissatisfied with the handling of Comrade Lin Pengcheng's funeral by the Jinmen Municipal Government. Everyone present knows why you blocked the recognition of Comrade Lin Pengcheng as a martyr. Anyway, there are meeting records. You can explain it yourself when the superiors investigate. Now I propose a vote on the recognition of Comrade Lin Pengcheng as a martyr. Comrades who agree, please raise your hands."

After saying this, Secretary Chai raised his right hand first, and several other deputy secretaries immediately followed suit.

Originally, when discussing the recognition of Comrade Lin Pengcheng as a martyr, there was an investigation report from the relevant departments, and everyone thought it was just a formality. After all, an incumbent deputy district chief died in a heroic fight with enemy spies, and the city of Tianjin must handle all related matters in a timely manner. However, no one expected that Deputy Secretary Fan spoke on the spot and believed that for the sake of safety, it would be better to wait until the injured and unconscious spy was interrogated before discussing the recognition of Lin Pengcheng as a martyr. Although there was an investigation report from the relevant departments, there was no interrogation result of the enemy spy, and he reminded everyone to be cautious.

Since Deputy Secretary Fan had already spoken out against it, the people present were unwilling to offend the other party over this matter, so the matter was dragged on.

In fact, everyone knows that Deputy Secretary Fan is deliberately making things difficult for Lin Yu from Beijing. The last time Lin Yu returned to Tianjin to visit his relatives, he had a conflict with Huang Zhigang in Huibin Building, which directly led to the punishment of District Chief Huang, who was strongly recommended by Deputy Secretary Fan as deputy mayor. Not only did the deputy mayor leave, but even the position of district chief was not kept. Deputy Secretary Fan, who has always been known for protecting his own people, has obviously always kept it in mind. Now he is just taking the opportunity to disgust the other party. However, everyone also knows that with the investigation report of relevant departments, it is only a matter of time before Lin Pengcheng is recognized as a martyr.

When Deputy Secretary Fan saw that the other three deputy secretaries in the office had raised their hands following Secretary Chai, he gritted his teeth and exhaled deeply, then raised his hand unwillingly.

Secretary Chai sneered and said, "Okay, it's passed unanimously. Secretary Qiao, go and handle the formalities immediately. I'll send it to Comrade Lin Pengcheng's family on behalf of the city later."

Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang, interrupting Secretary Chai's words. He stood up and picked up the phone with some displeasure, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?"

The voice of District Chief You came from the microphone. After listening to it, he sat down heavily on the chair and dropped the microphone in his hand on the desk.

Everyone looked at Secretary Chai in surprise, wondering what had happened to make him lose his composure like this?

Deputy Secretary Jiang couldn't help but ask, "Secretary Chai, what happened?"

Secretary Chai sighed and could only repeat what District Chief You had just reported on the phone. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It was obvious that Lin Yu had completely fallen out with the City of Jinmen. Thinking about his identity and age, several deputy secretaries couldn't help but stare at Deputy Secretary Fan with unkind eyes. It was all because of you that you wanted to vent your anger, but you made everyone offend such a promising rising star. Although he can't do anything to you now, who can guarantee that you won't fall into his hands in the future?

Deputy Secretary Jiang said anxiously: "Secretary Chai, this matter must be handled properly. Once it spreads to the capital, we in Tianjin will be embarrassed!"

Secretary Chai sighed: "Who do you think will be useful now? Since the relevant departments have come forward to stop us, what's the point even if we go?"

A deputy secretary next to him suddenly thought of someone and quickly said, "You can ask Deputy Director Sun of the Municipal Bureau to help explain it. After all, he is the father-in-law of Director Lin's sister."

After hearing this, Secretary Chai's eyes lit up and he quickly picked up the phone and asked the switchboard to immediately connect him to the office of Deputy Director Sun of the Municipal Bureau. Everyone else was looking at Secretary Chai who was on the phone, and even Deputy Secretary Fan had an expectant look on his face. Now he was regretting it so much. Why did he do that?

The call was connected quickly. When Secretary Chai finished explaining what happened, I just listened to a few words and then hung up the phone helplessly.

Deputy Secretary Jiang asked anxiously: "Secretary Chai, what did Deputy Director Sun say?"

Secretary Chai shook his head helplessly: "Deputy Director Sun has received a notice from his son that Lin Yu will not see anyone, and that they and his wife do not need to go to pay their respects. In addition, according to the instructions of the relevant department's Beijing headquarters, Comrade Lin Yu's mother, sister and their family will be transferred to Beijing for work immediately."

After hearing this, everyone felt disappointed. It was obvious that the seriousness of the matter was beyond their imagination, otherwise the relevant department’s Beijing headquarters would not have made such arrangements.

Secretary Qiao hurried into the office with a few documents. Although he felt that the atmosphere in the office was a bit unusual, he still asked: "Secretary, the documents for Comrade Lin Pengcheng's martyr recognition have been processed."
