Chapter 1032: Chapter 1032: Gao Zhitao Suffers an Injustice

Those committee members had been briefed by Qi Shengli, and now Gao Zhitao made a complete turnaround, catching them off guard. noveldrama

The committee members began to whisper among themselves, glancing at each other, uncertain of what to do next.

Qi Shengli was the first to respond. He chuckled and said, "Director Gao has a high sense of awareness and is a great comrade of ours. We unanimously believe that Director Gao’s actions during this period are worthy of emulation by the people of the entire province. I’ve also heard that the comrades in the public security system have indeed worked too hard recently."

"I’m not afraid of hard work," Gao Zhitao quickly interjected, anticipating what the other party was about to say, and spoke directly.

Qi Shengli laughed heartily and said, "Well, what our staff need is this kind of dedication. But while work is important, one must take care of their health. I heard that some time ago, Director Gao was seriously injured and resumed work before fully recovering. We are truly moved by this.

Director Gao is a talent in our public security system, and we must ensure your health. Therefore, we decided to grant you a two-month leave. You may not cherish your own health, but we must care."

The surrounding committee members also nodded in agreement.

Gao Zhitao’s face turned livid. He knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t reverse the situation, so he simply stood up, turned around, and left.

"Stop, where are you going?" Qi Shengli suddenly shouted.

Gao Zhitao sneered coldly, said nothing more, and left.

Qi Shengli was mentally prepared, but the committee members were all wide-eyed, somewhat unable to believe it. Despite having been in politics for so many years, they had never encountered such a situation.

"Now that Director Gao has left, it seems he fully complies with our arrangement. Let’s proceed with the voting. As for the decision just discussed, anyone who disagrees, please raise your hand..."

Gao Zhitao has long been deeply disgusted by these political tactics, but he found himself helplessly enmeshed in them.

After walking out of the meeting room, Kong Shenghui hurriedly came forward from the side and pulled Gao Zhitao into a room.

"How did it go, what did they say?" Kong Shenghui asked nervously.

Kong Shenghui didn’t have the standing to attend such committee meetings. Now, he was anxious to know how Gao Zhitao had been dealt with.

Gao Zhitao talked about the meeting, and upon hearing it, Kong Shenghui breathed a sigh of relief. It was only a leave, without involving any dismissal.

As long as there’s no dismissal, everything else can be worked out. Gao Zhitao still has a chance to rise again.

After all, Kong Shenghui watched Gao Zhitao grow up, and he couldn’t forgive himself if Gao Zhitao were disciplined.

Gao Zhitao knew he had already been granted leave. He went to the storage department and left his ID and handgun, then drove towards the military district.

When people are feeling down, they often want to see their family, but it was already late, so he didn’t disturb Gao Mantang and went straight to his room to sleep.

The next morning, just as it was starting to get light, loud slogans from outside could be heard. Gao Zhitao found it noisy and covered his head with the quilt.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened. Gao Mantang stood by the door, initially stunned to see someone in the room, and then hurriedly came to Gao Zhitao’s bedside, yanking the quilt off him.

"Gao Zhitao, get up. It’s so late, and you’re still sleeping? Even though you’re a director, you can’t be so lazy," Gao Mantang shouted.

Gao Mantang, being a soldier, not only adhered to an early sleep and rise routine to exercise, but also demanded the same from those around him.

Seeing his grandson sleeping in, this was intolerable.

Gao Zhitao drowsily opened his eyes and muttered, "Stop fussing, I’m still sleepy."

"Who’s fussing? Hurry up and get up," Gao Mantang roared.

Knowing he couldn’t sleep anymore, Gao Zhitao sat there gazing at Gao Mantang.

"Why aren’t you going to work?" Gao Mantang asked furiously.

He couldn’t stand the idea of wasting time during work hours. His grandson’s prior performance had pleased him, and now seeing him slack off irritated him.

"On leave," Gao Zhitao replied groggily.

"Nonsense, since when does your department have vacations? You are public servants of the people, you should always be at your posts," Gao Mantang declared.

Gao Zhitao wanted to tell his grandfather the real situation, but he held back, deciding not to share.

He was an adult and there were many things he had to learn to manage himself.

"I’ll go later," Gao Zhitao replied.

"No, you need to go now," Gao Mantang said and pulled Gao Zhitao out of bed.

Gao Zhitao, frustrated, shook off Gao Mantang’s arm and shouted impatiently, "I’ve already said, I’m on leave and don’t need to work now. Stop bothering me, okay?"

His mood wasn’t great, and he wanted peace to rest at the military district.

Gao Mantang froze, having never seen his grandson so fired up, especially towards him.

Gao Zhitao realized he’d acted impulsively, regretting losing control.

"Sorry, Grandpa, I’m in a bad mood and just want to rest here," Gao Zhitao sincerely apologized.

Gao Mantang sighed, shook his head, and said, "It’s okay," then sat by the bed.

"Did you encounter setbacks? Tell me about it," Gao Mantang offered understandingly.

Tears welled in Gao Zhitao’s eyes. Raised under Gao Mantang’s protection, he had never faced much adversity, which made him fragile.

Knowing his grandson was upset, Gao Mantang felt his anger flare intensely.

Yet he restrained it, speaking calmly, "If you have grievances, speak up. With Grandpa here, you can count on me to stand up for you."

Gao Zhitao took a deep breath, eventually shook his head, "It’s nothing much, just want some peace here."

Seeing he didn’t want to talk, Gao Mantang nodded and said, "Alright, rest well here then. If you need anything, just call me."

Gao Zhitao nodded without speaking as Gao Mantang left the room and closed the door. Outside, he took out his phone and called Kong Shenghui.

At that moment, Kong Shenghui was conversing with a provincial leader, feeling a headache upon seeing it was a call from Gao Mantang.

"Is there something you need, Chief?" Kong Shenghui asked cautiously.

"I’m asking you, what exactly happened?" Gao Mantang demanded indignantly.

Kong Shenghui awkwardly replied, "Zhitao didn’t tell you?"

"That’s nonsense, if he had told me, would I even need to ask you?" Gao Mantang shouted.

After contemplating, Kong Shenghui decided to tell Gao Mantang the whole story...
