After a while, the office director came over again and recommended two people to Xiao Zixin who were middle-level cadres of the Public Security Bureau. He said that they had cooperated with the Tobacco Bureau many times before and they should be able to help him talk about anything.
Xiao Zixin thought for a while and shook his head, deciding that it would be more reliable to go over and meet with Director Tobacco himself. "Forget it, I'll go over and meet Director Bao myself!"
It is also a law. China's laws now have hundreds of laws. However, Xiao Zixin understands that when it comes to enforcement, laws are different. Even criminal law involves some criminal facts and criminal suspects.
, as long as he, a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of Public Security, is willing to come forward to take charge or say something, the law may be greatly compromised. It is said that county officials are not as good as current officials. This is the truth. This is the benefit of being an official.
At least, he can decide or influence whether some people can be released on bail pending trial, released on medical parole and many other things. He can also use other means to reduce major issues to trivial matters, or simply aggravate the criminal facts of some people, and the evidence is conclusive
…
However, he was not very familiar with the "Tobacco Monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China", which was also a legal law, and he could not control those people. If he wanted to get his cousin's confiscated cigarettes back, the best way was to do it himself
Take a ride.
He estimated that even if Director Bao remained silent and had no previous friendships, considering that he was a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau, there would be no big problem...
After getting ready, he took the small package of phones on the table and asked the driver to take him to the Tobacco Bureau.
When he arrived at the Tobacco Bureau, Xiao Zixin got off the car and went upstairs, going straight to Director Bao's office on the third floor.
"Bang bang bang, bang!" As soon as he knocked on the door and heard an echo inside, Xiao Zixin stepped in.
"Haha, Director Bao, what are you busy with?"
"Ouch, ouch Xiao...!" Bao Hongren, the head of the Tobacco Bureau, looked up and saw that the person coming was Xiao Zixin, who had never been to the door before. He was stunned, followed by politeness and surprise, and stood up and said: "Oh haha, Xiao
Director, it’s you, come on, come on, please take a seat!”
"Is something wrong?" Before Xiao Zixin sat down, his eyes followed Xiao Zixin's face in a circle, and then asked: "What must be the reason why Director Xiao came to my place?"
"Yeah, come and see Director Bao. It's really a bit of a private matter." Xiao Zixin smiled broadly. Before he could even take out a cigarette and give it to him, Director Bao had already picked up a pack of cigarettes from his desk and handed it to him, "Come here.
, Director Xiao, this is the first time you come to my place and slap me with this!"
What Xiao Zixin didn't expect was that the cigarette he took from Director Bao would actually be a soft-packed "Butterfly Spring" in a white box. Xiao Zixin had not smoked this kind of cigarette for many years, so he took it in his hand.
Glancing at it, I not only remembered that I smoked this kind of low-quality cloud cigarette when I was a college student. Haha, at that time, poor students had no money to buy high-end cigarettes, so they had to deal with this kind of cigarette that was very popular in school. There is a saying: "Leading cadres in the Greater China,
There were three or five local gangsters, but the old-fashioned rural people had a good harvest, and there was a butterfly spring for those who had money but no money." It was talking about the level and situation of smokers at that time.
Xiao Zixin can be regarded as an old smoker, but now he has long been in the Greater China. No matter how good he is, he will not smoke other cigarettes. What is even more unexpected is that the dignified head of the Xuanpu County Tobacco Bureau actually smokes this.
Growing tobacco??
He thought he had made a mistake, so he took another look while Director Bao was pouring water for him. Yes, it was the "Butterfly Spring"! Damn...
It’s unbelievable that the Tobacco Director actually smokes this kind of cigarette! This Director Bao is about forty years old and came from another county. The time is not long, and he and Xiao Zixin have no contact with each other. As the office director said, there is no relationship between them.
We never even had a chance to drink together. However, as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau, Xiao Zixin, Director Bao knew about it and often saw it on TV programs. Similarly, Xiao Zixin also knew about this Bao
The director was a newly transferred cadre, but he didn’t know anything about his background. If it hadn’t been for his cousin, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to visit this person today…
I was used to smoking good cigarettes, and then I smoked the White Butterfly Fountain given by Director Bao. The more I smoked, the less flavorful it became. After only two puffs, Xiao Zixin pinned me to death in the ashtray, frowning slightly.
"Haha, I'm tired of smoking." Director Bao gently placed the tea in front of him, then sat down and smiled. He seemed to see the confusion and doubts in Xiao Zixin's heart, and began to talk about the benefits of this butterfly spring cigarette.
The ins and outs of the magical effects and inside information were actually explained vividly. According to him, at that time, the so-called Sichuan wine Yunyan was becoming more and more popular in the counties and cities in Xuanpu County, including the provincial capital. I won’t talk about Sichuan wine, but only in Yunnan.
At that time, the most fashionable and best-selling product was Hongta Mountain, followed by Red Mountain Tea... However, he did not smoke those cigarettes. Instead, he particularly liked the White Butterfly Spring.
"Why?" Xiao Zixin laughed and asked with interest.
Xiao Zixin felt baffled and a little funny when he heard this tobacco man boasted about the little-known White Butterfly Spring, but he didn't laugh. He was here to solve the problem. What's more, he usually talked to this person
There was almost no direct communication, so it was not appropriate to joke. He picked up the cigarette box and looked at it. Yes, the cigarette box was still the same classic and familiar packaging that he often paid for when he was in college, and the cigarettes inside were still twenty.
A small white stick. At least, from the outside, he, a layman, couldn't see anything good about it. However, after Bao Hongren's guidance, Xiao Zixin found that the shredded tobacco inside seemed different.
"Why, brother, to tell you the truth, this is what I do. I know that although the prices in other Yunnan provinces are high and they look good as gifts for others, they are easy to get, but if you want to smoke them yourself, you still have to count.
This inconspicuous White Butterfly Spring is genuine. This is also internal news from the Yunnan Tobacco Factory..." Bao Hongren frowned, held the cigarette in his mouth, and slowly tore open a cigarette with both hands in front of him.
Xiao Zixin looked at it and explained: "Did you see it? Director Xiao, you will understand if you look at this cut tobacco. It is golden yellow, pure cut tobacco, and tastes authentic. I said I smoke good cigarettes. I have everything, but I just
I like this white butterfly spring, haha! Got it!”
He was really doing research and shouting, but Xiao Zixin had no intention of listening to his nonsense. He was still entirely focused on his cousin's truck. Seeing that he was talking eloquently and couldn't interrupt, he laughed and listened.
He speaks plainly.
After talking for a while, Director Bao saw that Xiao Zixin had no cigarette in his hand, so he took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it for him. Xiao Zixin was not embarrassed to give him the Great China on his table, so he had to light it and then light it.
My eyes twitched a few times.
"Director Xiao, I have something to do today. If you have something to do, just tell me and I will handle it." He smoked a cigarette and talked. Bao Hongren knew that Xiao Zixin would not go to his one-third of an acre of his territory without any trouble. I came up to see him specifically. Something must have happened. As for what, he didn't know.
"Guarantee," Xiao Zixin said, "Haha, you guessed it right. I came to see you today because I really have some personal matters to see if I can help."
"Uh, what's the matter? Tell me and do it."
"I have a cousin who runs a wholesale store in my hometown of Niangniangzhai down here. He may have bought some cigarettes at the Shenyang market instead of going your way. As a result, your people may have confiscated them when he came back this morning... …”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Bao Hongren was startled for a moment. It seemed that he might not know about it just after he started working. But when it came to work, Director Bao's face immediately became less cheerful and casual than before. , although he also knew who the person in front of him was, and also knew that Xiao Zixin was a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of Public Security, but when it came to mentioning cigarettes, especially when his subordinates took away his cousin's cigarettes, he probably would not It's an ordinary product, and it won't disturb him if he comes and goes infrequently. He will come out to look for you in person.
"I just got to work. You haven't told me about this yet. So, you sit down first. Director Xiao, I'll go over and ask what's going on." Bao Hongren stood up and said.
"Okay, Director Bao, thank you in advance!" Xiao Zixin said politely.
Bao Hongren went out for a walk, and when he came back there was someone following him. He introduced him as Captain Xing of the Law Enforcement Brigade, "This is the situation. I called Xiao Xing over too. This person from the Public Security Bureau I know Director Xiao, please tell Director Xiao what the situation is."
Xiao Zixin knew at the first glance that he was trying to be cunning. He still shook hands with the other person politely and thought that if he wasn't being cunning, he wouldn't have to call this person over. Okay, no, it's not okay. Just do it directly. Just nod and tell what happened.
"Director Xiao, that person is your cousin, haha, I'm sorry!" The captain was polite at first, then sat down and explained to Xiao Zixin that he and his cousin Xiao Zijie ran to the Public Security Bureau to talk to Xiao Zixin about the situation. The situation Xin said was roughly the same. When Bao Hongren went out just now, Xiao Zixin walked to the window and saw an elongated blue truck parked in the backyard downstairs of the Tobacco Bureau. Except for the front of the truck, the extended rear part was tightly covered by a tarpaulin. In fact, he estimated that the car was the cigarette car that his cousin Xiao Zijie said...
"We went on the road to check as usual in the morning, but we didn't expect that the car illegally smoking cigarettes belonged to your cousin. He didn't tell you at the time, so we detained it in accordance with customary rules and regulations..."
The captain of the law enforcement brigade said a lot of things, which were nothing more than official articles and clichés. Xiao Zixin came to help his cousin get goods, not to listen to their nonsense, and he felt unhappy.
After talking for a while, Director Bao saw that Xiao Zixin's expression was not good, so he winked and told the man to leave. After that, he continued to talk to Xiao Zixin.
Just as Xiao Zixin thought before coming here, they are both in the law, working in the same Xuanpu County, in charge of different legal affairs and bear different legal responsibilities, but the law is different. If it is other matters, This Bao Hongren will not easily deny Xiao Zixin face. At least Xiao Zixin is a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of Public Security. How can he guarantee that he will not ask for anything from Xiao Zixin in the future?
However, the "Tobacco Monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China" implemented and followed by the Tobacco Bureau directly involves legal and economic interests. ...Many things are directly linked to their work performance. What's more, smuggling cigarettes also involves illegal activities. In addition to deducting goods and fines, you may also be held legally responsible...
Therefore, every time people and goods are caught, people from various agencies and units come to find Director Bao - Bao Hongren. It’s quite difficult to save face.
Xiao Zixin didn't know this before, but as soon as he sat down to talk to Director Bao, he quickly felt that this person was difficult to talk to.
For a moment, I didn't feel angry in my heart. I wasn't angry with Bao Hongren, I was angry with the Tobacco Bureau people, but I was also angry with my cousin Xiao Zijie - let me test, if you say you want to open a store in the countryside, you will open a store. If you want to do business, do business. Why do you have to go to Shenyang to smoke cigarettes privately, and sell hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of goods? Now it’s good, people detained it, and people caught it. When you are a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau, you have to come to your door to ask for help! It may not work! Damn it.
Thinking of this, his face became a little ugly. How could Director Bao not feel the change in Xiao Zixin's mood? In fact, he was in a bit of a dilemma!
My subordinates worked hard to catch the person and seize the goods - hundreds of thousands of dollars. How could I just touch my lips and let him go?
In that case, if someone takes a stab at it, the trouble will be big, and I'm afraid I won't be able to be the Tobacco Director in Xuanpu County anymore...
During this period, Xiao Zixin's cousin Xiao Zijie called many times. Xiao Zixin took out his cell phone to see if he answered the phone and pressed the phone.
"Director Xiao," Bao Hongren walked over and closed the office door. He came back, sat down and sighed, "Let's be honest, this matter is not easy to handle!"
"I didn't expect you to come to see me in person, nor did I expect that person to be your cousin. However, now that the person has been caught, the cigarette has been seized, and the police are staring at each other—— A bunch of people are watching to see how to deal with it. You tell me, it’s not easy for me as a government leader."
"Yes," Xiao Zixin nodded, "otherwise I wouldn't have come to you. I came to you because I thought it would be difficult, so I asked you to find a way. My cousin is from the countryside, and they live in Niangniangzhai. It’s not easy to make money in my hometown. As far as I know, I have always been a law-abiding and normal business person. I don’t know what happened, but this time I actually smoked a cigarette. It was the first time. Maybe I didn’t understand the relevant laws and regulations before. I know too little and don’t understand much, so I did something like this. I am also in a dilemma. Look, Director Bao, are there any other ways that you can consider accommodating me?"
Without saying anything, Bao Hongren took out another cigarette of his "good cigarette" White Butterfly Spring and handed it to Xiao Zixin. This time, Xiao Zixin politely refused and took out his own Big China Lit and took a long puff.
He has already thought about it in his heart. If the Director Bao in front of him really doesn't give him face this time, then he won't be able to do anything with him in the future...
Xiao Zixin has no control over the cigarette matter, and his words don't count, but for other matters involving the law in Xuanpu County, including the public security organs, the procuratorate, and the law, he means what he says.
"Do you think this is good, Director Xiao?" Director Bao said after smoking for a while, then subconsciously shook his head: "This matter, brother, this is my business, and I should help. But you can't help with the matter now.
Clearly, it doesn’t matter if I say it alone, and it is easy to leave sequelae. In this way, you go back first and tell your cousin not to worry. I also have an idea on our side. No matter what, there are some places where everyone can still do it.
Take care of it, there’s nothing you can do if you really can’t take care of it. I’ll discuss it with the deputy directors and you’ll wait for my call, okay?”
Xiao Zixin was very discouraged when he heard what Director Bao said. Although he had thought before he came that things might not be easy, he never expected that it would be so difficult!
If I take the exam, is this too disrespectful to me?
Anyway, I am also a member of the Standing Committee of the Xuanpu County County Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau. I can come to your Tobacco Bureau in person, without any official airs or pretense, and can only tell you the situation in my own name. I have given you enough to tell the truth.
Face, I didn’t expect that you guys are really mean and rogue, and you rejected me right out of the gate! What kind of research, discussion, and liar? After so many years in the officialdom, can you say that I can’t even speak this kind of official language?
Don’t you understand? Obviously this means rejection, which means no, but it’s not easy to refuse clearly.
"Okay," Xiao Zixin's face turned ugly. Feeling that he was a little out of sorts, he managed a smile when he stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first and you guys can study!"
As he walked out, Xiao Zixin really had an urge to have an attack in his heart. Damn, what's the point of becoming an official? What's the point of it? Isn't it just to have some big things happen so that the small company can have a good reputation in the county? That's all.
I couldn't even get out of a truckload of cigarettes. I hit a big snag in front of Bao Hongren. I am an upright member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Public Security Bureau.
