Chapter 31 Twenty-nine

Jiang Yongren, general manager of Hongyu Leather Goods Co., Ltd. in Dijiang City, was taken to Changyang Hotel in Jiangbei District and stayed in a room for nearly an hour before he realized what kind of situation he was facing. There were two people guarding the door, and he couldn't go out at all.The mobile phone was also confiscated, and there was no means of contacting him.There is an internal phone, but it can only be answered, but cannot be dialed out. He asked the two people at the door several times, but he got only one answer: this was the decision of the joint investigation team of the Haozhou City Supervisory Committee and the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Dianjiang City Procuratorate, and he was asked to reflect honestly here. Question, you still don't know in your heart?

Jiang Yongren was stunned for a long time but couldn't understand, what happened? Jiang Yongren's Hongyu Leather Goods Factory is a private enterprise with outstanding profits in Dianjiang City.All kinds of leather goods produced by Hongyu Leather Goods Factory are not only sold well in the whole Haozhou area, but also have a good reputation in the province.In recent years, it has gradually become one of the famous domestic brands. Its products have entered dozens of countries such as the United States, Japan, and Russia, and it has become a landmark enterprise in Dianjiang City.At present, it has nearly a thousand employees, and the profits and taxes paid to the country are also increasing year by year.

Xia Zhongmin's theory of "closing wolves and letting chickens go" was inspired by the process of bringing this enterprise back to life.In the past, enterprises in Dianjiang adopted a chicken coop policy.At that time, the main target was the "three chaos" phenomenon of local government agencies and various so-called law enforcement agencies. Private enterprises and joint ventures not only have more autonomy and greater management rights in production, but also give these enterprises greater rights to refuse and appeal against departments that arbitrarily create "three chaos" .The person in charge of the enterprise can directly talk to the mayor at any time and under any circumstances.At the same time, the municipal government clearly ordered that all enterprises protected by the municipal government should hang a signboard issued by the government uniformly at the entrance of the enterprise.Therefore, this protection policy for small and medium-sized enterprises is commonly known as the chicken coop policy.At the beginning of the implementation of this policy, it still played a considerable role in protecting enterprises, especially private enterprises. Those "three chaos" phenomena and various sponsorship and card-taking behaviors have also been curbed to a certain extent.However, with the passage of time, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and the effectiveness of the chicken cage policy has gradually become weaker and weaker.After a lot of investigations, Xia Zhongmin finally introduced a new policy of "closing wolves and letting go of chickens".

Among those survey phenomena, the most typical one is Jiang Yongren's Hongyu Leather Factory.In less than a year, this leather factory, which has invested nearly 4 million yuan in Dianjiang, was inspected by the inspection team of Haozhou Technical Supervision Bureau, Dengjiang Technical Supervision Inspection Branch, Haozhou Price Bureau, Dengjiang The Municipal Price Bureau, District Price Bureau, Chengguan Town Price Office, Dianjiang City Industry and Commerce Bureau, District Industry and Commerce Bureau, Chengguan Town Industry and Commerce Office and other law enforcement departments, used various grandiose reasons to fine nearly more than one million yuan!And the fine of more than one million yuan was only reduced by Jiang Yongren's pleading in every possible way, even kowtowing, and then secretly giving money and gifts.According to the amount of their fines, it may be many times more than this!For example, they pointed to the words "High Quality Product of Dianjiang City" on the leather goods, and said that it was a fake and shoddy product, so they were fined 300,000 yuan when they opened their mouths; Produced by the company", they thought it was an illegal product, and even asked for a fine of 500,000 yuan!The health and quarantine department came and checked for a long time, but found nothing. Later, they said that they could smell the smell of leather as soon as they entered the factory, and they also imposed a fine of 500,000 yuan!

Jiang Yongren told Xia Zhongmin at the time that since he came to Dianjiang, he had nightmares almost every night, and when he heard the sound of a car outside the factory, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.And I dare not tell anyone, once you say something, let them know, not only will they take revenge, but they will also beat you to death! Xia Zhongmin preached publicly at the conference, this is our soft environment in Dianjiang!In such an environment, how long can the best enterprise and the best project survive!In the name of law enforcement, act like a robber!Take a look at some of our law enforcement departments, whether they are enforcing the law, or collecting protection fees like the past Nanbatian!Law enforcement agencies have become synonymous with asking for money and gifts!One by one, after you sing, I will appear on the stage, each showing its ability and means.If things go on like this, how can foreign businessmen dare to invest in Dianjiang!When investors come to Dianjiang, it's like falling into a wolf's den!What's the use of confining a chicken?For chickens that want to lay eggs, if the outside of the chicken coop is full of wolves, and they have to stick their claws in from time to time, do you think this chicken can still lay eggs?I was scared to death!Shut down the chickens, but let the wolves run around.The chicken has no freedom, but the wolf is very free!Think about it, in this environment, can our chickens grow up healthily?If things go on like this, what hope do we have for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and private enterprises in Dianjiang? Now we have to do the opposite!In the past, chickens were shut down, but now we want to shut down wolves!Not only the wolves must be locked up, but the chickens must also be completely liberated from the cages!Create a carefree, happy, and stress-free development environment for them, so that they can grow up as soon as possible.It is under the guidance of this theory that the private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises in Dianjiang City first provided various powerful and favorable development guarantees in the system.This kind of institutional guarantee is like a precious sword, which has played a great role in protecting the self-development of small and medium-sized enterprises and private enterprises.For example, for private enterprises and joint ventures that are supported and affirmed by the government, any government department, any authority, without the consent and authorization of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, cannot conduct any inspections or interrogations on them, let alone arbitrarily fine them, and arbitrarily punish enterprises. Indiscriminate inspection and acceptance in any name.Even if there is a suspicion of violating national policies and related laws, it must be examined and reviewed by the municipal party committee and the municipal government after collective research.During the inspection and review period, it is also necessary to ensure the normal production and operation of the enterprise first, and must not cause the enterprise to stop production and production.No administrative unit or law enforcement agency has the right to inquire or interrogate the main persons in charge of the enterprise, including the factory director, manager, chairman, and some important directors, let alone interrogate or detain them under any pretext.Once a similar situation occurs, first of all, these government departments and law enforcement agencies must be thoroughly investigated, and at the same time, the joint and several responsibilities of the leaders of the departments and agencies must be investigated!In this regard, Xia Zhongmin has never been soft-hearted.After the implementation of the policy of shutting down wolves and letting go of chickens, Xia Zhongmin successively removed the main leaders of four law enforcement departments and dismissed 17 related personnel from their public posts within three months.

Jiang Yongren's Hongyu Leather Goods Factory is a relatively prominent enterprise developed in this environment. It's not that Jiang Yongren has done stupid things. Under the policy of shutting down wolves and letting go of chickens, the company's profitability has improved greatly and its income has greatly increased. During the Spring Festival that year, Jiang Yongren felt very grateful, so he talked with the director After discussing with each other, they decided to take 100,000 yuan from the profit and give it to Xia Zhongmin as a thank you. Xia Zhongmin returned the "reward".Because Jiang Yongren and Hongyu Leather Factory did not have any other motives, they were not dealt with as bribes in the end.

This was a piece of news that caused a sensation in Dianjiang at that time, because a private enterprise, in order to thank a leader, gave a one-off reward of 100,000 yuan! Perhaps it is for this reason that Hongyu Leather Goods Factory and its director Jiang Yongren have become more and more famous, and the company is doing better and better.Because he feels that under this kind of policy, the more the government values, cares, and loves his company, the more he should abide by the policy and operate legally.Whether it is tax payment or production, you must not do anything that is sorry for the government.

So, what happened today? Could it really be that the employees below did something illegal and disciplined without telling themselves? He tossed and turned, thinking back and forth, but still couldn't figure out why he was locked up here suddenly. It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that he was taken to a small conference room on the tenth floor of the hotel. A huge table is placed in the middle of the conference room. There was a chair in front of the table, and he was pressed to sit on the chair.A bright light hit his face straight, making him unable to open his eyes for a long time.

Behind the desk, three people were staring at him.Beside him were always standing two majestic, motionless strong men. He suddenly remembered the scene of the criminal being interrogated in the movie, and he was facing exactly such a situation now. It was probably intentional to create an atmosphere, and no one said a word in the meeting room for a long time. He wanted to ask them, why did he bring him here?But after thinking about it, I think it's better not to say anything.Who knows who they are?What if they were all gangsters, or all blackmailers?He has thought about this many times. If you really meet such a person, then you can only ask for trouble if you say anything.

After about seven or eight minutes, only one of them asked sharply: "Name?" Jiang Yongren froze for a moment, "...Are you asking me?" "Name!" The other party's voice became even more ferocious. "...Jiang Yongren." Jiang Yongren replied with some helplessness. "age?" "Fifty-one years old." "Native place?" "From Guanshan County, Haozhou City." "Born?" "Farmer." "Education?" "high school." "Profession?" "Director of Hongyu Leather Goods Factory in Dijiang City."

"Do you have any previous convictions?" "...What do you have any previous convictions?" Jiang Yongren was suddenly covered. "Criminal record?" "... What criminal record?" Jiang Yongren really couldn't understand. "It's just that there have been any criminal acts and criminal facts before!" A person next to him shouted. "Criminal acts and criminal facts?" Jiang Yongren was taken aback, "...No! Never! How could you ask this?" "Tell me the truth!" Immediately there was another shout. Jiang Yongren was taken aback again, "...What are you going to tell me? No, I've never done anything illegal in my life. I really haven't!" "Sophistry!" The other party yelled angrily again, "Have you ever done anything illegal in this life? How arrogant of you! There are all witnesses and material evidence, and you dare to deny it! Before asking you substantive questions, you began to resist , there will never be a good end for someone like you! Think carefully about what is waiting for you!" "...I'm not quibbling, I really don't!" Jiang Yongren was already sweating all over his head, and suddenly he remembered that he gave Xia Zhongmin 100,000 yuan, and he couldn't help saying, "It was given to Secretary Xia that year. The 100,000 yuan was refunded by Secretary Xia at the time, and we did an inspection later, and the leaders also said later that it was not a problem, just let it be an example..." "Nonsense!" The tone of the other party became more and more severe. "A bribe of 100,000 yuan is a serious violation of the law! Which leader dares to tell you that it is not a problem? You tell the name of this leader!" "Several leaders have said that, did Secretary Xia say the same at the time?" Jiang Yongren replied honestly while wiping the sweat off his face. "Which Secretary Xia?" "...Which one? Is it Secretary Xia Zhongmin?" "Did Xia Zhongmin say that?" "...I said it, I said it!" Jiang Yongren recalled vigorously, "Secretary Xia even came to the factory specially, Secretary Xia said so at the staff meeting of the audience! He also said, to Use the money on the right way and invest in reproduction. Secretary Xia also said that it is not you who thank us, but we want to thank you. As long as your production goes up and the enterprise is well established, Dianjiang will develop and employment Problem solved, you helped the government..." "Tell me about the actual problem, don't talk nonsense!" The other party interrupted Jiang Yongren with an angry shout, "What exactly did Xia Zhongmin tell you?" "That's it, that's all!" Jiang Yongren was still trying to remember. "Xia Zhongmin said that the 100,000 yuan was not a bribe, so what did he say it was?" "...Secretary Xia said, by the way, Secretary Xia said at the time that it was completely wrong to do this, and there should be no such idea at all. Secretary Xia criticized it very strongly at the time, and we were very moved at the time. Later, everyone said , After working for so many years, I have never seen such a good secretary..." "Didn't you hear? Don't talk nonsense! Explain the real problem!" The other party interrupted Jiang Yongren again, "Xia Zhongmin told you that this is not considered bribery?" "...That's not what Secretary Xia said, it's what the Commission for Disciplinary Inspection, the Supervisory Committee, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau said!" Jiang Yongren replied seriously and honestly, "They said that we have no motive, and it is the directors. The collective study was really just to express the gratitude of the company, so it was not dealt with! Are you from the Discipline Inspection Commission or the Public Security Procuratorate? Can you not know about this?" "To tell you the truth, we are the investigation team from Haozhou. We are here to investigate and deal with your problem based on the reports from the masses. According to our preliminary information, the situation is serious and the circumstances are bad. If you continue to deny it cunningly, If you refuse to explain, we will not only deal with you strictly, but also send a working group directly to your leather factory to freeze all your accounts and financial transactions. You know very well what this will do to your leather factory Consequences! Jiang Yongren, do you want to lose your leather factory because of a small loss? You are a smart person, and a smart person must do smart things. Answer our questions!" It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Yongren seemed to understand his situation and why he was brought here suddenly. He was stunned for a long time before he said in a daze, "... Then what are you going to ask? What are you going to ask me? What is the answer? Even if you want me to die, you have to make me understand, right?" "Well, as long as you can figure it out." The other party's voice softened a lot, "We are not targeting you, nor your leather factory. As long as you can honestly explain other people's problems, we will first guarantee that you and Your leather goods factory will not have any problems. As long as you explain, you can go out immediately and do whatever you want, it will not be any different from the past, and we will keep the questions you explain strictly confidential, and we will absolutely guarantee you personal safety. Got it?" "Understood, you can ask! What are the problems?" Jiang Yongren said while thinking about what these people wanted to do. "Has Xia Zhongmin still been in touch with you these years?" The other party asked suddenly. Jiang Yongren finally understood at this moment, this group of people turned out to be for this purpose!Once you understand it, you will have a solid foundation in your heart, and you will not feel so guilty when answering questions. "What are you referring to? What kind of dealings?" "Of course it's an economic relationship." The other party said plainly, "Have you not had any economic relationships over the years?" "Does it mean personal or public?" Jiang Yongren seemed to want to confirm again. "Of course it's personal! Do you even need to ask?" "Then what do you want me to say?" Jiang Yongren asked straightforwardly. "It's up to you!" The other party seemed to sense something, and the voice became louder again, "Do you have to let us talk about the matter between you?" "I don't know what to say that suits your thoughts." Jiang Yongren looked very serious, "Didn't you say it, and do you still have report materials?" "Well, let me ask you." The other party seemed to be impatient. "According to the report materials, you gave Xia Zhongmin's parents a set of fitness equipment worth more than 50,000 yuan during the Spring Festival last year. Xia Zhongmin's wife When decorating a new home, all the decoration materials, including the decoration costs, are borne by Hongyu Leather Factory, worth a total of more than 100,000 yuan. Is this true? I have told you the pros and cons just now, so you must think about it carefully. Think it over before answering." "Is that all?" Jiang Yongren asked. "If there is anything else, as long as you can tell the truth, as we have said, you will be lenient when you confess and make meritorious atonements. We will definitely deal with you lightly. If there are major meritorious deeds, we will also report to the municipal party committee and the municipal government. Ask the relevant departments to give your company preferential policies, and even reduce or exempt all the profits and taxes of your company this year. You are the factory manager, and you know what such preferential policies mean to you." "I understand that if we really want to reduce all profits and taxes this year, our Hongyu can increase our income by more than three million this year." Jiang Yongren answered clearly and calmly, "But I know, how can such a thing be guaranteed? Will the municipal party committee and municipal government agree to such an obviously illegal thing? If we pursue it at that time, what should we do? What certificate do we have, and where can we go to find you? When it comes to you, even if you find it, if you don’t admit it, then wouldn’t we be in vain? Even if you don’t go to jail and pay a heavy fine, wouldn’t our company have to be completely ruined?” There was silence in the small conference room. After a long time, a person said, "...it's not the time to discuss these issues. We will give you a clear answer when you explain the problem clearly. Don't worry about it. We mean what we say." .” "If I confess and people say that I am all fabrications, false accusations, and frame-ups, what should I do?" "Stop thinking about it!" The other party suddenly shouted loudly again, "It's written in black and white, and so many of us testify to you, who dares to say that you are fabricating? How can it be a false accusation to expose corrupt officials and corrupt elements? !Okay, I’ve told you everything that needs to be said, and I’ll explain the problem right away! Don’t toast or eat fine wine, it won’t be too late for you to regret it!” "...Well then, I will explain to you now." Jiang Yongren raised his head slowly, although the strong light irritated his eyes, but he did not blink, "I have been to Xia Zhongmin's parents' house, I have also been to Xia Zhongmin's wife's house." "Where is Xia Zhongmin's parents' home?" The other party seemed to start recording. "Xia Zhongmin's parents' home is in a village in Xinhe County." "time?" "We have been to the Spring Festival of the previous year and last year's Spring Festival." "What did you go to Xia Zhongmin's parents' house for?" "Condolences to the two elderly people." "What did you send?" "I can't remember the whole list, there are fruits, milk powder, rice, sesame oil..." "It goes without saying about these trivial things, let's talk about other things." "Other?" Jiang Yongren asked back, "Is it the fitness equipment you mentioned?" "It's not what we said, it's what the masses reflected!" "Where did the masses report it? I really can't figure it out. If you want to reflect it, reflect something else that can be believed. Two rural elderly people, what kind of fitness equipment do they want? Secretary Xia's parents are almost 80 years old this year. Yes, his father suffers from cervical spondylosis and old cold legs, and his mother has a bad heart. There are several old tile-roofed houses and a small yard, and there is no room for a fitness machine worth 60,000 yuan! You have to lie like a lie What's the matter..." "Then what did you give?" The other party became impatient. "Think about it, two old people like this, what do they need?" Jiang Yongren seemed to be trying to enlighten the other party, "Also, the home of Xia Zhongmin's wife you mentioned is Xia Zhongmin's home, then we also I’ve been there. Isn’t it just a flat in Xinhe County that I’ve lived in for more than ten years? Do you know how big his house is? The building area is definitely no more than 60 square meters. It’s only worth 30,000 to 40,000 yuan if it’s exhausted. Isn’t it crazy to spend more than 100,000 yuan to renovate such a house? Are those people who wrote the report materials you mentioned a bunch of idiots?” "Jiang Yongren! What are you thinking?" The other party seemed to finally understand, and he thumped the table angrily, "If you dare to cunningly deny and plead guilty, we will never let you end well! " "...I'll fuck you!" Jiang Yongren jumped suddenly, like a thunderbolt, and suddenly exploded, "You are all a fucking bunch of corrupt officials and corrupt elements! You will all die! You think I'm afraid of things like you! I knew you were going to attack Secretary Xia! Let me tell you the truth, we have found a way out, if one day you really kicked out a good secretary like Secretary Xia , Let your gang of people take power, our companies will immediately withdraw from Dianjiang, and we will not stay here for a day! I would rather smash our business and burn it, and never leave it to you dogs The officials are ruining it! You really blinded me for wanting me to falsely accuse Secretary Xia..." "Quick! Pull this lunatic away quickly! Quick!" a man shouted angrily. The two strong men beside Jiang Yongren also seemed to have finally come to their senses, and suddenly twisted Jiang Yongren to bend over. Jiang Yongren, whose face was covered with bruises, was still jumping and cursing, "Wait! As long as you don't kill me, you have to sue you gangsters to Beijing..." ... When Li Jubo, the deputy general manager of the Dianjiang Water Transportation Corporation, was brought into the Dianjiang Hotel, he had already thought through everything. Li Jubo stayed in a suite on the 9th floor of Dianjiang Hotel. The sofa is soft and the atmosphere in the room is very warm.There are several seasonal fruits on the coffee table, all of which are expensive varieties.The tea is also authentic, just look at the shape of the tea leaves.He is very familiar with these. There was only one recorder in front of him, and he kept pouring tea and water for him. If he hadn't stopped him, he would have peeled one of each of several fruits. After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, he began to answer questions, and the recorder also began to record at the same time. Recorder: When did the water transportation company in Dianjiang merge? Li Jubo: It was May the year before last, yes, May, yes. Recorder: There was a big ribbon-cutting event during the merger? Li Jubo: Yes, what kind of influence Xia Zhongmin wanted to create at that time, the term was very nice, such as reorganization, revitalization, structural adjustment, anyway, I just picked the right one.They also invited a large group of people from all walks of life in a mess, and spent a lot of money. They spent more than 300,000 yuan at a time in the open, and even more in secret. Recorder: How do you know? Li Jubo: I am the deputy manager in charge of finance, what can be hidden from me! Recorder: What did the money do? Li Jubo: For example, Ruan Zhonghua took away two boxes by himself.One box is fifty, one is more than six hundred yuan, and two boxes are five to sixty thousand. This is not a small amount. Recorder: Did he come to pick up the cigarettes himself, or did he get them? Li Jubo: Of course we sent someone to deliver it, why would he pick it up by himself. Recorder: Can you tell me clearly, who delivered the cigarettes?And when, where, and what tools were used? Li Jubo: I really can't remember the exact time, it seems to be around ten o'clock in the evening.I remember it was taken away by a container truck.Who sent it?You let me think about it, by the way, it was Wu Zhenhai, a new technical secondary school student who came to the office at that time.At that time, he was responsible for transporting it and sending it to the place designated by Xia Zhongmin.Where exactly it was sent, I don't know.This Wu Zhenhai is still in the office, you can ask him directly. Recorder: Besides smoke, is there anything else? Li Jubo: There are so many, such things as Xia Zhongmin did, can they be counted clearly?Why doesn't he do it? On the surface it sounds nice, but in fact, haven't you heard what the newspaper said?The more you pretend to be clean, the more greedy you are.Sometimes you see Xia Zhongmin dressed like a beggar, it's all for show, to deceive people. Recorder: Can you be more specific? Li Jubo: Specifically, well, let me think about it, for example... By the way, like wine, beverages, and fruit, you have taken a whole car away!Said that it was to be given to the leading cadres invited by him, anyway, it was to take the opportunity to pave the way for the relationship. Recorder: A car?How big is a car?Also, what brands and how many are the wines and beverages you mentioned?Are the fruits packed in boxes or baskets?About how many catties?Who exactly did they give it to? Li Jubo: Of course the wines are all famous wines, such as Moutai, Wuliangye, and beverages must also be famous brands. Think about a car, there are not dozens of boxes?There are at least 20 boxes of famous wine and 50 boxes of drinks.Fruits must also be imported, and if they are imported, of course they are packed in boxes, at least a hundred boxes.People use cars to pull them, who knows where they are sent? Recorder: Who is responsible for the transport? Li Jubo: Who exactly transported it?You let me think about it, yes, I remember, there seems to be a person named Wu Zhenhai among the transporters. Recorder: Can you be more specific, when and where was the delivery of this cart?Who delivered it?Who is responsible for accepting the transfer? Li Jubo: I really don't know about it. You have to ask Wu Zhenhai for more details. Recorder: Do you have evidence of the accounts? Li Jubo: Of course there is, it has been prepared for a long time. Recorder: Is there any evidence on it that can prove that Xia Zhongmin took it? Li Jubo: ...How could this happen?How could Xia Zhongmin be so stupid to leave his name on the account! Recorder: Then why do you say that Xia Zhongmin took these things away? Li Jubo: Why?Just rely on me!I am the deputy manager in charge of finance, who took the things, I can't figure it out? Recorder: But you are the only one, so that still has no legal significance, at least there must be other circumstantial evidence and evidence. Li Jubo, isn't this hard to find?I can find you as much as you want! Recorder: Then find me as soon as possible, the sooner the better. Li Jubo: No problem, don't worry, I will find you soon. Recorder: The technical secondary school student you mentioned named Wu Zhenhai, you said he is still in your shipping company? Li Jubo: Yes, yes! Recorder: Can you call him right away, I think he is a very important witness. Li Jubo: ...No problem, I'll go find him now, and let him come to you as soon as I find him! ... It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Wu Zhenhai was called by Li Jubo to the suite on the 9th floor of Dianjiang Hotel. At this time, there was another person in the suite, besides the recorder, there was also a black and fat man who kept smoking. When Li Jubo called Wu Zhenhai here, he always looked mysterious, but Li Jubo didn't tell him anything.He only said that the investigation team wanted to talk to him, and he said whatever he had, just said it, it had nothing to do with it, and there was no need to worry about it. As soon as Wu Zhenhai came in, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. The fat black man seemed very angry. But the fat black man seldom spoke, mostly the recorder was asking him questions. ... Recorder: Is your name Wu Zhenhai? Wu Zhenhai: Yes. Recorder: Are you working for a shipping company now? Wu Zhenhai: Yes. Recorder: How many years have you been working? Wu Zhenhai: I have been working in a water transportation company since I graduated from a technical secondary school for almost six years. Recorder: How old is this year? Wu Zhenhai: Twenty-seventh, birthday in October. Recorder: Do you know Xia Zhongmin? Wu Zhenhai: ...Xia Zhongmin?Is it Secretary Xia? Recorder: Yes, it is Deputy Secretary Xia Zhongmin. Wu Zhenhai: Then how come you don't know each other?There is no one in Dianjiang who does not know him!It's just that Secretary Xia will definitely not know me... Recorder: When did you meet Secretary Xia? Wu Zhenhai: It's on TV. It's too early to say when. We'll know when Secretary Xia comes.We like to listen to Secretary Xia's speech the most. When we were still in school, our family and the people in our compound all liked Secretary Xia. Recorder: Have you not had direct contact with Xia Zhongmin? Wu Zhenhai: ...That's not true. Secretary Xia is so busy. He is the secretary. Who am I? Can I have direct contact with him?The year before last, Secretary Xia came to the company to give a speech and cut the ribbon. He thought he would have the opportunity to shake hands with Secretary Xia, but there were too many people in the front row.Everyone knows that I just want to save face. If I rushed forward like others, I might be able to shake hands with Secretary Xia... Recorder: It is true that you have not had direct contact with Xia Zhongmin? Wu Zhenhai: ...No?Really do not have. Recorder: Did you send anything directly to Xia Zhongmin's home or office? Wu Zhenhai: Send something?What to send?What can I give Secretary Xia? Recorder: The company sent you to deliver things. Wu Zhenhai: No, never sent anything to Secretary Xia. Recorder: Your Manager Li told us just now that in May of the previous year, he sent you to deliver something to Xia Zhongmin. Wu Zhenhai: ...What did Manager Li say?Which Manager Li? Recorder: It is Li Jubo who came with you just now! Wu Zhenhai: He, he is no longer our manager, and Secretary Xia was dismissed at the end of last year!His problem hasn't been dealt with yet, if someone hadn't kept him, he would have died long ago.If you don't go to jail, you have to be expelled from the party.Don't listen to him, this person is too greedy, if it weren't for him, the company wouldn't be what it is today.I always wanted to be a general manager, but in order to become an official, I gave away all the company's money.On the day Secretary Xia dismissed him, the whole company set off firecrackers for the whole day... Recorder: That's not what we're asking.Was Li Jubo the manager at the time? Wu Zhenhai: It was still at that time. Recorder: Is he in charge of finances? Wu Zhenhai: Yes, if it wasn't for being in charge of finances, how could the company be messed up!To tell you the truth, he can be the deputy manager in charge of finance, isn't it because he is the son-in-law of the former Secretary Liu Shibei's daughter-in-law and younger sister?If it weren't for this... Recorder: I mainly asked Li Jubo if he was the deputy manager in charge of finance at that time, and what to ask and what to answer, please don’t digress? Wu Zhenhai: Okay, do you want to investigate Li Jubo's issue? Recorder: According to Deputy Manager Li Jubo, did your shipping company hold a ribbon-cutting event for merger in May of the previous year? Wu Zhenhai: Yes!Secretary Xia went there that time! Recorder: According to Deputy Manager Li Jubo, there are two boxes of soft Zhonghua cigarettes in the evening, and you are responsible for delivering them? Wu Zhenhai: ...Yes.Li Jubo has explained to you? Recorder: When and where? Wu Zhenhai: He didn't tell you?It's in the company's No. 4 warehouse, which is full of brand-name goods. People in our company are scolding that it is the corruption base of the water transportation company! Recorder: Two boxes? Wu Zhenhai: Yes. Recorder: What means of transport was used? Wu Zhenhai: Everyone in this company knows that it is the kind of container truck that looks like a money transport machine, and it can hold anything. Recorder: What time? Wu Zhenhai: Probably around ten o'clock in the evening. Recorder: Where did it all go? Wu Zhenhai: ... Didn't Li Jubo tell you? Recorder: I'm asking you now.We want to confirm it again. Wu Zhenhai: ...it was delivered to Secretary Wang. Recorder: ... Secretary Wang!Which Secretary Wang?pardon! Wu Zhenhai: It's Wang Siji, the executive deputy secretary of the municipal party committee! Recorder: Did you give it to him? Wu Zhenhai: Yes, Li Jubo didn't explain clearly to you? Recorder: Think again, is it really given to Secretary Wang? Wu Zhenhai: That's still fake!These two big boxes of Ruan Zhonghua cost fifty to sixty thousand yuan!Who dares to talk nonsense about such things!Li Jubo told me at the time that due to business needs, this was the company's decision, and the company's party committee also agreed. Let me just deliver the goods, and don't talk nonsense about anything else. Recorder: Do you know that the place where you sent it was to Secretary Wang Siji? Wu Zhenhai: Can this be fake?I sent it directly to Secretary Wang Sizji's house!It's in the big boss's storage room on the first floor of his house, I just moved in!His nanny even made me drink a bottle of Coca-Cola! Recorder: Can you guarantee that what you said is not a lie? Wu Zhenhai: Even when the general secretary came, I would say the same thing. Ask the people in the company, when did I, Wu Zhenhai, tell a lie!You can investigate further, if it is not given to Secretary Wang, if one of the things I said is not true, I am willing to take all legal responsibility! When he said this, the fat black man suddenly yelled: Don't ask these questions anymore!If there is anything else, keep asking others, if not, forget it! Recorder: ...Okay.Let me ask you another question, and at that time, you were also responsible for sending a car gift? Wu Zhenhai: Li Jubo said it was a car? Recorder: Don't interrupt, we're asking you now.understand? Wu Zhenhai: Understood.go ahead. 记录员：是送了整整一汽车吗？ 武振海：不是一汽车，是三汽车。 记录员：三汽车？你能确定吗？ 武振海：我已经保证过了，如果我说假话，甘愿承担法律责任。 记录员：三汽车都是什么东西？ 武振海：一汽车全是名酒，一汽车饮料，还有一汽车进口水果。 记录员：名酒都是什么酒？ 武振海：就两种，五粮液和茅台。 记录员：具体有多少箱？ 武振海：大概有四十多箱吧。 记录员：价值多少？ 武振海：那你们得问李居博了，这一箱茅台，差不多也有四五千吧！一箱五粮液，我看还不得六七午，你们算算，大概得多少钱？李居博是分管财务的，他干的这些事情，他什么不知道？把他找来一问不就清楚了？ 黑胖子这时突然插话问道：这三汽车东西都送给谁了？ 武振海：说是公司由于业务的需要，都送给开发区了呀！ 记录员：……开发区？哪里的开发区？ 武振海：就是市里的开发区呀！当时老书记刘石贝就要退下来，马上要到开发区去任职。李居博说了，水运公司要支持开发区的发展，反过来，也是对老书记多年来对水运公司支持的感谢，所以领导们一致同意以实物支援。因为老书记到开发区上任时，需要这些东西…… 记录员：你送给开发区谁了？ 武振海：不是我送的呀！是安排我负责清点数目的。具体送给谁了，那要问李居博，我们怎么能知道！ 记录员：当时拉这些东西时，不是你们水运公司的车吗？ 武振海：那么多东西，怎么能用我们的车？要用我们的车，我们公司里不就谁也知道了？哪还不吵翻了天？ 记录员：负责来拉这三车东西的人是谁？ 武振海：杨肖贵呀！就是刚刚抓起来的那个杨肖贵！要不是杨肖贵已经被抓起来了，我还敢在这里给你们说这些吗？那家伙在嶝江纯粹是个黑社会头子，要在平时，若要走了风声，让他听到什么，那可是逮谁灭谁。阎王要你半夜死，谁敢留你到三更？怕哪！ 记录员：你敢说你说的这些都是事实吗？ 武振海：怎么老问这个问题？你们不是组织上派来调查问题的吗？我刚刚写了入党申请书，对组织我怎么敢说假话？我刚才已经说了，那是要负法律责任的呀！ 说到这里，记录员似乎还想再问什么，坐在一旁的黑胖子突然挥了挥手，大声制止道：不用再问了！把李居博马上叫过来，让他们当面对质，看究竟是怎么回事？ 十分钟后，李居博便赶到了9楼套间。 大概事先已经通过电话了，李居博一来到九楼，便把武振海叫到了另一个房间里。 李居博一进房间就满脸不高兴地说道，“振海，你说句实话，我当经理那几年，对你怎么样？我亏待过你没有？“ 武振海见李居博气急败坏的样子，以为调查组把他刚才说的那些都翻给李居博了，于是辩解道，“那我有什么办法，当时就是你负责的嘛，我总不能说送的那些东西都是我决定的吧。我要不说出你来，难道会是我从库房里偷出来的？说了人家也不会相信嘛。” 直到说了好半天，李居博似乎才终于明白过来，原来武振海想的根本就是两码事。于是他赶忙说道，“弄错了，弄错了，你看你，也不问明白，就瞎说一气，现在根本就不是查我，你懂不懂？现在要查的是夏中民！明白吗？我实话告诉你，汪书记已经同意了，我马上就是水运公司的总经理！在这个关键时刻，你要是能配合我，只要我一到任，办公室主任马上就是你！你一定放心，我这个人你也不是不清楚，我一向说话都是算数的……” 武振海猛地张大了嘴巴，好久没有合拢，他没想到竟然是这么回事！他们几个要告夏书记！ 李居博接着说道，“振海呀，夏中民现在是兔子的尾巴，在嶝江呆不了几天啦！识时务者为俊杰，你干吗还为他卖命呀？他又给了你什么好处？他从来也不认识你，你也根本就不认识他，你还能指望上他什么？就像刚才的事情，我都已经承认了，你只需要说有那么回事就行了，干吗非要说得那么清楚？你是不是糊涂了？什么把烟直接送给汪书记？谁让你这么说的呀！你就说是你送的就完了，多那些嘴干什么？这不是自讨苦吃？将来汪书记要是知道了，你还怎么在嶝江这个地方呆？还有老书记刘石贝那儿，你不是故意要给自己过不去嘛！” 武振海仍然有些惊骇不已地说，“……我没想到，怎么是这么回事。可，可这都是真的呀，我又没说假话；而且人家就是这么问的，我能不回答吗？” “怎么不好回答？看你精精干干的，怎么净干这些没头脑的事情？”李居博显出一副长辈的样子，“人家要再问你，你就说是你负责送的，具体送给谁，我这里有底子，有记录，主要责任都在我这里，你担心什么？跟你又没有直接关系，我都不怕呢，你还怕？好了，现在再挽回局面还来得及，一会儿咱们一道过去，你就说你记错了，想不起来了。人家要再问你是不是送给夏中民了，你说我当时也闹不清了，大概是吧，反正是送给那天剪彩来的一个领导了。就这么含含糊糊地说一下就行了，别的就不用你再管了，好吗？” 武振海低着头，好久好久不说话。 李居博大概是等不及了，不禁又问了一句，“振海呀，我把话都说到这份上了，你还要我怎么样？你想想，等我过几天上了任，我还能忘了你吗？你家里的情况那么困难，快三十的人了，连房子都还没着落，只要我上了任，你还发愁什么？……说话呀！行不行，你就给我一句痛快话，好不好？” 武振海又沉默了好久，终于抬起头来，慢慢地说道，“我想好了，我不能做这种亏心事。我要是害了人家夏书记，我这辈子还怎么在水运公司做人哪。” 听了这话，李居博一下子来了气，“武振海，我问你，夏中民究竟给了你什么好处，你非要这样护着他？现在都什么社会了，哪还有你这么傻的？” “可人活在世上，总得讲良心吧。”武振海昂着脖子说道，“再说，一个人要是好赖都不分了，那还是个人吗。我想来想去，虽说夏书记并不认识我，我也并不认识夏书记，但夏书记可是大伙都夸的一个好书记，这么好的一个书记，我为什么要害他……” “简直不可理喻！”李居博终于发作起来，“什么好赖不分，让我说你真是不识好歹！我告诉你，武振海，我已经都承认了，那些烟和酒都送给了夏中民，你要是说你送给了别的什么人，那后果是什么，你自己斟酌吧！还有，我都承认了，你不承认又能管什么用？我承认是你送的，你不承认，也不想想调查组将来会相信你还是相信我？阳关大道你不走，非要走你的独木桥，你要是再这么执迷不悟，将来只能是自作自受，自食其果！” 武振海好像一副死心塌地地样子，等到李居博发作完了，才说道，“……那我也认了，就是我死了，也死干干净净，一辈子也不后悔。既然你什么都说了，什么都承认了，那还找我来干什么？我真想不通你为什么非要让我来这里，你让送的东西，为什么非要让我来承认？你送给西家的东西，又为什么非要让我说送给了东家？你说我不识好歹，那我也告诉你，我就不信共产党会让你们这些人掌权，就算你今天掌了权，像你们这样子，过不了几天，迟早也得完蛋。共产党也不是那么好让你们哄的，就算你们哄得了今天，还哄得了明天……” 李居博猛地嗷叫了起来，“那就等着吧！好好等着你他妈的有什么好果子吃！狗肉不上席，天生的就是一辈子打工的穷命！滚！马上给我滚……” ... 武振海从宾馆里出来时，直觉得步子越来越沉，身子也越来越软。 活了快三十岁了，还是头一回碰到这种事情。 从宾馆到家只有两站地的路，他走了足有一个多小时。 回到家，妻子陪着孩子早就睡了。孩子刚刚过了一岁的生日，长得人见人爱，此时正睡得分外香甜。 房子很小，还不到四十平方米，说是两室，其实也就是一间半。过道其实就是饭厅，办公室也就是卧室。 他慢慢地在一个小得不能再小的桌子旁坐下来，看看时间，已经深夜了，却毫无睡意。 一种预感在告诉他，今天的事情，绝没有那么简单。在这件事情的背后，肯定有个大背景。 说实话，他对今后将可能发生的事情越来越感到害怕，但他并不为今天所做的事情后悔。 他惟一担心的是自己的妻子和孩子。当然，他还担心另外一个人，那就是他并不认识，可经常能在电视上看到的夏书记。夏书记每一次同群众对话的节目，他从来都没有误过，每一次都会让他看得泪流满面。 他知道像夏书记这样的人，肯定会有人暗算他。 What happened to this world?为什么会有这么多的坏人能呼风唤雨，兴风作浪？ 那个叫李居博的家伙，今天这所以敢那么放肆，敢那么毫无顾忌，肯定是有后台的，他说得没错，汪思继肯定会支持他，还有那个刘石贝，也都会支持他。问题是，像李居博这样的人真的上了台，那他今后的日子将会怎么过？等待他的又会是一个什么样的结局。 其实李居博已经告诉他了，你他妈的等着吧，看你有什么好果子吃！ 那他们会把自己怎么样呢？ 他们如果真的想干什么，真的想把夏中民推上被告席，自己肯定是他们第一个要排除的对象！ 这个毫无疑问，你自己都想到了，他们还会想不到？ what to do? 他想来想去，心里反倒越来越坚定。就是他们把我整死了，我也绝不低头！ 他慢慢地拉开抽屉，翻来翻去，终于在里面翻出两页稿纸来。 想了好久，他终于写了起来。 ... 亲爱的妻子，请你看后，一定要把这封信转给爸爸妈妈，转给单位的领导。我今天碰到了一伙坏人，他们自称是昊州市派下来的调查组，住在嶝江宾馆，专门来调查夏中民书记的问题。其实他们根本不是调查问题，而是要陷害夏书记！他们非要让我说前年送给汪思继的两箱软中华香烟，是送给了夏中民书记，还要我作证，说前年送给开发区刘石贝的三汽车名酒饮料和水果，也是送给了夏书记，这都是根本没有的事情！这完全是栽赃陷害！我完全可以作证，我从来都没有给夏中民书记送过这些东西！我今天之所以要写下这些东西，就是要告诉你，还要让你告诉所有的人，如果哪一天我有了什么不测，那肯定是他们陷害的！我并不怕死，我怕的是让我白死！你一定要为我申冤，为我辩白，一定要把我的事情告诉党和政府，让党和政府知道究竟是怎么回事！特别要让党和政府明白，他们之所以这么做，就是要陷害夏书记，你千万要给党和政府说清楚，一定要保护好夏书记…… ...
