Lu Miao paused and frowned, trying to stop it, but it was too late.

Fu Jingyou, who was wearing a raincoat and following her out of the hall, had already poked his head out and asked:
"What Public Security Bureau?"

"what?"

Yu Hong turned around and looked at her elders.

Seeing Lu Miao shaking his head inaudibly, Yu Hong seemed to understand something and quickly changed the subject:

"Ah, no, nothing. It's just that a new person has been recommended to our department, and we have to go to the Public Security Bureau to go through the formalities and verify the files..."

Yu Hong glanced at Lu Miao and continued hesitantly:

"The Public Security Bureau has received the information and is waiting for you to come over and take a look..."

Fu Jingyou knew the nature of the work of the Guoying Society.

In addition, when Lu Miao started working in the past, she also went through a tedious background check. Fu Jingyou believed this to be true, so he placed his hand on Lu Miao's head and protected her all the way to Yu Hong's umbrella and said:
"Then go ahead and do your work. It's raining today, so tell the driver to drive slower on the road."

Lu Miao raised the corners of his lips gently, smiled faintly, nodded and said:
"Got it. You should slow down too. Come back early on rainy days."

"Ah."

Fu Jingyou responded in a low voice, and the couple went out together, one got in the car and the other got on a bicycle, and then they parted ways at the door.

Only after they got into the car and closed the door did Lu Miao ask Yu Hong seriously what was going on.

Resources are scarce right now, and there are only a few small cars on the market.

The vehicles used by relevant units and departments are all registered and can be found with a simple search.

Hearing Lu Miao's question, Yu Hong said truthfully:
"Director Zhang reported that the car was used by the Ministry of Finance..."

"The Ministry of Finance?"

Lu Miao was surprised for a moment, and at the same time a name came to his mind.

Although she does things her own way, when it comes to offending people, she has never offended anyone at the Ministry of Finance.

Those directors who had conflicts with me don’t have the courage to do this.

And there was only one person who had the courage and acted so rashly.

——Min Qiaoqiao.

Although Min Qiaoqiao has been dismissed and is no longer in the Ministry of Finance, the Min family was able to get her into the Ministry of Finance, which means she must have certain connections in the Ministry of Finance.

Min Qiaoqiao doesn't need to personally participate in anything she wants to do.

But, there is another question here.

If the people involved in this incident just wanted to do the Min family a favor, then isn't it a bit too blatant to openly use the Ministry of Finance's car?
If one can climb to a position where he is eligible for a car, it is impossible that he does not have any cunning ideas at all.

Lu Miao was having trouble reconciling his thoughts. He frowned and was thinking about it again. Yu Hong spoke again:

"Director Zhang also asked you how you plan to deal with the situation and whether you need to continue investigating... If you do investigate, since no actual harm or loss has been caused, the only punishment you can get is probably ideological education..."

Lu Miao is a smart man and can hear the hidden meaning behind what Chief Zhang of the police station said.

If no substantial harm or loss has been caused, it is not worth pursuing this matter any further.

Because there will be no result if we pursue it further.

More importantly, we all work in the same large department and always run into each other from time to time.

If she advocated making a big deal out of this, others would just think she was making a mountain out of a molehill and being too arrogant...

Lu Miao understood the current situation clearly, but it was impossible for him to just let it go.

She looked cold and serious. After two seconds of silence and a little contemplation, she told Yu Hongdao:
"Thank you, Director Zhang, and tell them to put this matter aside for now and not pursue it further. I'll give you another task to do..."

Whispering instructions all the way, the car swayed forward and soon stopped outside the gate of the British Publishing House.

Yu Hong was the first to get out of the car with an umbrella. She was going to open the door for Lu Miao, but someone else was quicker than her. Minister Zhan's assistant had been waiting at the door for a long time. After recognizing Lu Miao's car, he hurried forward with an umbrella:

"Good morning, Minister Lu. Minister Zhan asked you to come over after you arrive."

Lu Miao frowned, and was in a bad mood.

After hearing what Assistant Minister Zhan said, she quickly adjusted her mood and said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll go upstairs and put my things down and I'll be right back."

"Hey!"

Lu Miao glanced sideways, and Yu Hong met her gaze and nodded slightly.

After folding the umbrella and putting it in the bamboo basket at the door, Yu Hong went to the communication room on the first floor to call the Public Security Bureau to negotiate.

Lu Miao felt relieved to leave the matter to her.

After going upstairs to put down his things as instructed, Lu Miao went to Minister Zhan's office.

It was approaching April and the temperature had just started to rise noticeably. Because of the spring rain, a thin layer of fog covered the air when people breathed in and out.

The assistant had just replied to Minister Zhan. When Lu Miao entered the office, Minister Zhan was making tea with mist in front of him.

Seeing Lu Miao coming over, Minister Zhan smiled, handed her a cup of tea, and said, tapping the table:
"Xiao Lu is here? Sit down, sit down."

Lu Miao smiled and nodded, then sat down in front of Minister Zhan and asked while holding a teacup:
"Minister, do you have something to ask me?"

Minister Zhan pointed at the table and asked her to have tea, while he fumbled to open the drawer and said with a teasing smile:

"Something's going on! Something's going on! I have something to talk to you about. Look at this, what is it?"

He pushed a small object to Lu Miao along the table. Lu Miao was slightly startled when he saw it, then picked it up and examined it.

"A medal... for me?"

Since she was specially called over, it must be for her.

But Lu Miao was still a little confused:
"Minister, is there something wrong? I just came back from a business trip recently, and it seems that I haven't done anything worthy of praise..."

It couldn't possibly be about the Canton Fair exhibition team.

Although she participated in the personnel selection and training there, it is not yet time for the model team there to participate in the exhibition.

It is hard to say whether there will be any good feedback, and naturally there will be no rewards involved.

Since she was busy with her daily work, Minister Zhan didn't keep her in suspense and teased her deliberately. He smiled and revealed the answer directly:
"After the previous few meetings, the situation outside has been very tense, as you know."

Lu Miao nodded.

Minister Zhan looked at her and continued:

"I received news that you reported a tip-off to the Supervision Group a few years ago?"

"Yes."

Lu Miao hesitated slightly, then quickly nodded again.

Minister Zhan smiled, pointed at the five-pointed star-shaped medal of honor on her palm and said with emotion:

"That's great. The clues you provided have produced substantial results. This medal is specially awarded to you by the organization."

Seeing that Lu Miao was still confused, Minister Zhan smiled and sighed and continued:
"You were on a business trip a while ago, and I don't know what happened in Beijing North. It's not an exaggeration to say that the world has changed a lot in recent times..."

A lot of things happened in northern Beijing during the one and a half months that Lu Miao was on a business trip.

The most noteworthy among them is the Min family.

After the Min family was called to check the water meter on New Year's Eve, work resumed on the Lantern Festival after the New Year, and Min's father was ordered to suspend work for investigation.

Also removed from office and receiving the same punishment were Director Feng of the Ministry of Finance and several other high-ranking officials. (End of this chapter)
