What's wrong with this lawyer?!

The Linle County education management department is as calm as usual today.

Or rather, small county towns like this are very stable.

There's a new saying now that's different from ten or twenty years ago. Back then, it was often said that a relative who graduated from university went to the capital or Modu, and that was considered being successful, able to make big money.

Now there's a new saying, called county "Brahmins." These people may live in the county, but their living conditions are much better than those struggling in the city.

Old Tang shook his head to dismiss these inexplicable thoughts; he wasn't like this before.

Now, increasingly inclined towards harsh penalties and becoming more cynical... Could the system's tasks be affecting his personality?

Anyway, for some reason, doing these things gave him a sense of satisfaction.

After looking at the office building in front of him, Old Tang walked in slowly with his briefcase. He wasn't here for anything else today; he was here to exercise his supervisory rights.

Don't worry about anything else; just say whether the law includes supervisory rights. If it does, then he can come and ask.

He's simply asking, just trying to understand the situation, especially since you said in your previous notice that the subsequent investigation results would also be released.

Now it's been a year without any news; isn't it normal for me to ask?

Having the property abandoned is one thing, but surely the investigation can't be abandoned too...

Old Tang didn't go directly inside; after all, people were working normally inside. He wouldn't know which office to find, and would have to ask each one.

So it's better to make a phone call first, to inquire about things politely before taking any measures.

According to the "Regulations on Open Government Information," contact information is one of the pieces of information that must be made public.

But it doesn't say it has to be a phone number, so you can see various ways of contacting in different places, with some agencies even disclosing the phone numbers of all departments.

Others, though, use website messages and other ways to make it public.

All these methods are fine and comply with regulations.

Fortunately, they published the phone number here too; Old Tang quickly made the call, unsurprisingly finding it busy.

You can't rush this; with this type of phone, if it connects once in twenty tries, you're already lucky.

Most of the time, you might not get through even if you call all day.

Old Tang won't rush; the most important thing in legal work is to proceed step by step, calculating each step and preparing in advance.

It's not about rushing to succeed in defending your rights tomorrow if you decided to today; that's not possible.

The law is not omnipotent, defending rights carries risks, so the best way to defend your rights is to understand the law and pay attention in daily life.

Sitting on a large stone outside the office building, Old Tang kept calling, and when a call couldn't get through, he'd wait a bit before continuing.

He kept making calls, and after over forty attempts, finally got through...

Meanwhile, in the office, the staff member Guan Xingli listened to the ringing of the phone, feeling a bit helpless.

There really were too many calls, but she couldn't help it; it was her job, and if there were things that needed recording, she had to record them.

The work numbers publicized all over are like this, and everyone sees it too; some news even reported how some staff simply left the phone off the hook.

If that happens, no matter how much you call, it's still busy... There are plenty of methods at the grassroots level.

Frowning, Guan Xingli still picked up the phone: "Hello, Linle County Education Bureau, what can I do for you?"

Soon, a voice sounded through the handset: "Hi, I want to ask about an announcement you posted online on May 15th last year."

"It's about investigating a suspected payroll fraud by a staff member within your system, saying subsequent investigation results would be released."

"But I haven't found your investigation results, so I wanted to ask how the investigation is going?"

Ah? Guan Xingli paused for a moment; she often received various calls.

Most of them were related to schooling, some were inquiries, and some were outright complaints.

However, it was the first time someone called about such a matter!

Last May... Guan Xingli quickly remembered that the matter had quite an impact in the county, within their system.

After all, the public opinion at the time was pretty intense, leading the county to urgently announce it.

Just hadn't expected that after more than a year, someone would still ask about it!

She's not sure how the specific investigation went, but if there hasn't been any follow-up announcement, there probably isn't any investigation result...

However, she definitely couldn't say that over the phone. These days, people often record phone calls, so she had to be cautious when replying.

Guan Xingli quickly said: "Comrade, hello, I'm also not very clear about this matter..."

Soon the voice on the phone sounded again: "Oh, you don't know either, can you tell me who specifically is responsible for this matter and where I can find them to ask?"

Ah? Guan Xingli was speechless again but still said: "I don't know that either; we mainly handle a series of things related to children's schooling here."

"Oh, alright then, I'll figure it out myself, thank you."

Figure it out myself? Before Guan Xingli could react, the caller just hung up.

What's the situation with this person, calling about such a vague matter? This kind of situation in the county can't be said to be numerous, but it's certainly not rare.

Young people coming in need to do more work. Why? Because you have to forge ahead.
