Chapter 15 Chapter fifteen

It was rare for Zhu Huaijing to have dinner at home, so Xiangmei specially cooked some dishes.Both of them came back late, and it was almost eight o'clock when the food was served on the table.On the dinner table was the "Meiji Daily" of that day, and there was another report on Hong Jian's donation: "Looking for Hong Jian Again". ... It is still No. 199 Meiling Road, and it is still Hong Jian. This mysterious and kind person donated another 185,000 yuan to the Disabled Persons Foundation.The reporter found bank staff for an interview, and they said that the donors had repeatedly asked them not to disclose the relevant information.When the reporter asked whether it was the same pretty little girl last time who went through the donation procedures, the bank staff was noncommittal.Pretty little girl, who are you?Where are you?Are you the mysterious Hong Jian?

... Xiangmei asked: "Huai Jing, let's deal with the money like this, okay?" Zhu Huaijing said: "I have told you the truth, and this is the only way to deal with it. Others may have a better way to deal with it, but I think this is the best way." Xiangmei smiled and said, "Others don't know how to deal with it at all, just stuff it in their pockets." "That's not necessarily true. Don't speak so badly of the cadres. A few days ago, the focus interview also reported that a good cadre, a county party secretary, resolutely refused to accept bribes and ordered the cadres below to take back the money given to him. Those who did not get it back within three days were handed over to the finance department. As a result, the county party secretary handed over more than 600,000 yuan." Zhu Huaijing said.

Xiangmei said: "Really? I didn't pay attention to it. The atmosphere is too bad, and there is a lack of such good leaders." Zhu Huaijing shook his head and smiled, and said, "However, this comrade came too soon, I'm afraid it won't end well." Xiangmei asked again: "Hey, who is that beautiful little girl?" Zhu Huaijing was afraid that explaining would cause misunderstandings, so he just said: "What a beautiful little girl! She is a staff member of the prefectural committee. People who write articles always have to write brilliantly." Xiangmei's eyes widened suddenly, and she said, "I said Huai Jing, we always give away cigarettes, and it doesn't matter if we give money to others."

Zhu Huaijing was also taken aback, and said, "My God, why didn't I think of this? I said, write down the cleared money one by one, indicating whether it was in the cigarette case or the biscuit tin. Maybe one day we will have to reconcile the accounts.” The two talked while eating, and before they had eaten a few bites, the doorbell rang.Guess it must be Yin Yufu and his wife who came.When the door opened, it was indeed the couple.Qiqi's math performance is not good, and Yin Yufu insists on coming to him every day to make up lessons.Zhu Huaijing and his wife felt very sorry and said that they wanted to make up lessons, so they just asked Qiqi's math teacher to come, and we paid for the make-up lessons according to the rules.Yin Yufu said he should do it himself.It is said that this Yin Yufu is really good enough to be the headmaster, he can take all middle school courses, and no one in No. 1 High School refuses to accept it.His wife, Xiang Jie, is also a diligent person, saying that she is fine at home anyway, so it would be good if she came over to help with the housework.Both Zhu Huaijing and Xiangmei felt that this was not good, but they were so enthusiastic that they couldn't push it.Just leave them alone.So Yin Yufu and his wife came around eight o'clock every day, and there was no need to call in advance.

There was no need to exchange greetings, Yin Yufu went straight to Qiqi's room, and Xiang Jie tidied up like a skilled part-time worker.When outsiders came, the two of them stopped talking about that matter.Zhu Huaijing buried his head in his meal and asked Xiangmei, "Is there anything you can do about finding a nanny?" Xiangmei said: "I asked someone to find a few, but none of them were ideal." Zhu Huaijing said: "It's not a beauty pageant, don't be so picky." Xiangmei said: "You have a good idea, and I will give you a beauty pageant. The nanny is the worst choice, and it is harder than a blind date."

Xiang Jie was busy on the side, and interjected: "I have a relative in the countryside who is very smart and diligent. I have worked there for several years, and I have experience. Why don't you bring it to see in a few days?" Xiangmei looked at Zhu Huaijing, and then said to Xiang Jie: "It's too much trouble for you." Xiang Jie smiled and said, "What's the trouble? Just make a phone call and ask her to come." Xiangmei had no choice but to say, "Let's have a look." Before the meal was finished, Miao Ming called and asked him to come over immediately to discuss something urgent.Zhu Huaijing didn't bother to finish his meal, so he slurped down a bowl of soup.He didn't call the driver either, just put on his bag and went to the office.He opened his office first, turned on the light, but didn't go in, he still closed the door, and then walked to Miao Ming's office.

Miao Ming was already sitting there with Lu Tianyi, Li Longbiao and Xiang Changshan.Zhu Huaijing hurriedly nodded and smiled, and said, "You guys have been waiting for a long time. It's hard not to have a nanny. I can't have dinner until after eight o'clock." Miao Ming smiled and said, "Don't be too hard on yourself, you still have to hire a nanny." Lu Tianyi also smiled and said, "Yes, we can't do without a nanny." Before Li Longbiao and Xiang Changshan had time to participate in the discussion on the nanny issue, Miao Ming became serious and said, "Let's meet urgently. There has been a new breakthrough in the Wu Fei case recently. He confessed the director of the Meici Cigarette Factory." Zheng Weiming."

"Zheng Weiming?" Zhu Huaijing was a little surprised.In his impression, Zheng Weiming is a very honest and simple business leader.The last time he and Yuan Zhifeng went to the cigarette factory to work, and met Zheng Weiming for the first time.That day Zheng Weiming wore a crumpled old suit, yellowed white-rimmed glasses that kept slipping on the tip of his nose, his face was like smoked bacon, and a man in his fifties looked like an old man.You really can't tell what you look like! Miao Ming continued: "Yes, Zheng Weiming. Wu Fei undertook the construction of the second phase of the technical transformation of the cigarette factory, and he bribed Zheng Weiming 700,000 yuan. There have always been many reports about Zheng Weiming. I guess, Wu Fei The confession is probably only the tip of the iceberg. Next, let Comrade Changshan tell you about the situation.”

"The general situation is what Secretary Miao said." Xiang Changshan said modestly before adding: "Next, I will briefly report the recent investigation of Wu Fei's case by the procuratorate, and focus on Zheng Weiming's suspected bribery." Xiang Changshan put the file on his lap, took out his notebook, and reported it in detail.As he spoke, he became agitated. His expression and tone were like those of a public prosecutor in court, not at all like he was reporting the situation to the leader. Zhu Huaijing glanced at Miao Ming, Lu Tianyi and Li Longbiao as if nothing had happened, and found that they all lowered their heads and stared at their toes in a trance.Zhu Huaijing stopped looking up at anyone, and looked at his own toes.It seemed that no one could figure out who was involved in the case, so no one had to look at anyone.After reporting to Changshan, several people raised their heads in unison, but they all avoided looking at other people's faces, but looked at the opposite wall, with uniformly heavy expressions.

I only heard Lu Tianyi speak first: "Let me talk a few words first. Regarding the Wu Fei case, I want to investigate it to the end. I have always had this attitude. The case slowly began to make progress, and people like Zheng Weiming began to be exposed. It shows that the comrades in the procuratorate have achieved results in handling cases. I agree to file Zheng Weiming's case for investigation. I estimate that this may be a series of major cases. The prefectural committee must have a unified understanding and support the work of the procuratorate. No matter who is investigated, they must be investigated. In the end. If I, Lu, or my family members and relatives are involved, the same shall be done according to the law. In view of the special nature of the work of the enterprise, I suggest that the prefectural committee immediately study and determine the new person in charge of the tobacco factory."

"Comrade Huai Jing, let's talk about it," Miao Ming said. But Zhu Huaijing said politely: "Comrade Long Biao is in charge of politics and law, so please talk about it first." It is said that Li Longbiao was quite a man in the past, and his words made a bang bang bang bang, and the subordinates were very convinced.Since he suffered from cancer, others naturally don't listen to him much.He seems very cultivated, he is polite to everyone, no matter whether you are polite to him or not.Zhu Huaijing asked him to talk first, and as usual, he said a few words politely, and spoke in a leisurely manner.However, what he said was no different from what Xiang Changshan said, only in a rough way.Instead, he talked about how cunning the criminals were and how hard the case investigators worked, and these words were usually said at the celebration party after the case was closed.However, when he was speaking, all the people present were smiling and looking at him very kindly.But no matter how badly he spoke, everyone forgave him. Li Longbiao praised the procuratorate, so Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to praise the procuratorate, even though he knew it was not the right time to say these words, and the text was off topic.Zhu Huaijing exhausted this set of procedures before saying: "I agree with Comrade Tianyi and Comrade Longbiao. Especially the determination of a new person in charge should be done as soon as possible. The enterprise should not be messed up. It is recommended that the organization department and the executive directors get a Opinions should be determined by the prefectural committee. At the same time, it is suggested that the comrades who handle the case must do a good job of keeping secrets. It is normal to have various rumors or even rumors in the process of handling the case. But we should try our best not to let the masses generate too much speculation and discussion. I heard that Recently, the Wu Fei case has been widely circulated in the outside world. It seems that the entire prefectural committee and administrative office compound are full of corrupt elements. In my opinion, we need to make a special arrangement for the Propaganda Department. Increase the intensity of publicity in this area. Please Secretary Miao and Commissioner Lu make a decision." He looked at Miao Ming and Lu Tianyi as he spoke.Miao Ming took a look at Lu Tianyi by the way. Lu Tianyi blushed slightly, and he soon returned to normal, not for the sharp-eyed.Zhu Huaijing is a sharp-eyed person, so he has to admire Lu Tianyi.It is not for everyone to make the blushing face look normal immediately. "Comrade Miao Ming." Lu Tianyi seemed very reserved. Miao Ming’s final statement was nothing more than summarizing and affirming the opinions of Lu, Zhu, Li, and Xiang. “First, we must further unify our thinking and firmly support the work of the procuratorate; second, agree to file a case against Zheng Weiming for investigation; third, agree to Immediately study and determine the new person in charge of the cigarette factory. Comrades from the organization department and administrative office are asked to come up with a plan first, and submit it to the prefectural committee for study and decision. Typical and good experience, suppress evil spirits and promote righteousness." Although these words of Miao Ming also have the wisdom contributed by Zhu Huaijing, he does not take it seriously.It seems that it is impossible for Lu Tianyi to really support the work of the procuratorate, and unification of ideas is just a cliché; whether Zheng Weiming should file a case is purely a legal issue, but the secretary of the prefectural party committee needs to express his consent. Of course, the person in charge must be appointed as soon as possible, but if it is not another corrupt official, who can say for sure?The common people are becoming more and more convinced of the facts, and they don't care how you promote it, so if you just make a fuss in newspapers and TV, no one believes it. In fact, it becomes condoning evil spirits.But everyone can only say these things that even they themselves doubt. In the end, Miao Ming's expression darkened, and his tone became more lyrical. He said, "Comrades may have read today's "Meiji Daily". More than 80,000 yuan. In less than two months, Hong Jian has donated more than 280,000 yuan. Some people do not hesitate to lose their personality, conscience, and defy the law for money; Fame and fortune are not considered. The spiritual realm of people is really different!" When Miao Ming was full of passion, Zhu Huaijing suddenly remembered the report letter about Yin Zhengdong.He believed that everyone sitting here might have received the letter, but several days passed without anyone making any comments.What's even more ridiculous is that maybe everyone is thinking of that letter right now, and everyone is guessing at others.What we are studying tonight is the case of corruption and bribery. It's strange that everyone didn't think of the report letter at the same time.I'm afraid that some people are still afraid that others will make this letter public. The meeting was over, Lu Tianyi left first.Xiang Changshan wanted to leave right away, but he held back his feet before leaving, as if he felt that it was not good to leave right behind Lu Tianyi.It was inconvenient for Li Longbiao to dawdle any longer, so he had to go out with Xiang Changshan.In fact, they were all overthinking.Go out from Miao Ming's office, then go downstairs, walk through the hall on the first floor, and immediately get into their respective cars.It's only two or three minutes away, just casually strike up a few innocuous words, and get over it without embarrassment.Maybe today's situation is too special, everyone seems to be hesitant. Zhu Huaijing didn't need to avoid suspicion, he had to turn off the lights in the office before leaving.God knows how deep the quagmire of the Wu Fei case is!Just as Zhu Huaijing was about to turn off the lights and leave, Miao Ming knocked on the door and came in. "Huai Jing, the situation is indeed getting more and more complicated." Miao Ming stood there with his hands behind his back, "Comrade Chang Shan reported to me individually that someone was doing everything possible to obstruct the handling of the case secretly. Don't look at what he said resolutely." , It’s another way to do it behind the scenes.” Zhu Huaijing understood that Miao Ming was referring to Lu Tianyi, but he also pretended to be confused, and only said the truth: "As long as the prefectural committee is firm, no one can stand in the way." Miao Ming sighed: "I'm just afraid that it will make the investigation work more difficult. Maybe there will be pressure from above at that time." Zhu Huaijing said: "I suggest you go to the city as soon as possible, report to the relevant leaders first, and seek support." "That's exactly what I plan to do." Miao Ming said again, "For the bidding of the tobacco factory, let's follow the established plan. You should work harder. If Zheng Weiming can't be found out, normal work will stop. Corruption must be reversed, and the economy must work hard." Come on!" Zhu Huaijing replied: "Since the land has been appointed, I will take it on." After Miao Ming finished speaking, he went to his office.Zhu Huaijing wanted to go back first, so he took his briefcase and went downstairs.Suddenly the phone rang, but it was He Youcheng who called, "Secretary Zhu, hello. I'm sorry to disturb you at such a late hour. Have you rested yet?" Zhu Huaijing seemed to be chewing on a fly, feeling very uncomfortable, but could only mumble, "Nothing. What's the matter with you?" He Youcheng said: "It's all right. A few friends and I are all from the business world, drinking tea at Yinzhuang Cafe. They respect you very much. Can you spare time to meet them?" Zhu Huaijing was very angry when he heard this, Some couldn't laugh or cry, but they couldn't get angry, so they had to say: "It's too late. I still have something to do here, so I can't leave. Say hello to your friends for me. See you next time, okay?" After the phone call, Zhu Huaijing was so angry that his chest felt tight.Isn't that just asshole?Anyone can ask me to drink tea with just one phone call, so what am I, Zhu?The more Zhu Huaijing thought about it, the more he hated it. He didn't know who He Youcheng was.Take a good care of yourself, why did you marry such a thing! He always felt that things were weird, and he was inevitably curious.After thinking about it again and again, he called Zhao Yipu.Hearing the sound, Zhao Yipu seemed to be asleep, but he pretended to be confused and said, "Yipu, are you still awake?" Zhao Yipu's voice immediately cleared up, and he said, "Secretary Zhu, I haven't slept or slept. What instructions do you have?" Zhu Huaijing said: "I just finished the meeting. I have a few friends who are drinking tea in Yinzhuang. I wanted to visit them, but I don't have time. You go and say hello for me. Just socialize, don't What more to say. You can find He Youcheng." Zhao Yipu said he would go right away, and asked, "What is He Youcheng doing? Shall I write to you tonight?" Zhu Huaijing said, "He's a friend of mine. There won't be anything important. Let's talk about it tomorrow." After explaining, Zhu Huaijing suddenly stopped.He wanted to go and see Shu Chang, since he hadn't seen him for a long time.I looked at my watch, it was only ten o'clock.Without calling first, he went straight out of the gate, walked along the road for a while, and then hailed a taxi in a secluded place.I arrived at the material company in a while, but instead of getting off at the gate, I still found the darkest shade nearby and got off. "Shu Chang, I want to see you." Zhu Huaijing called. Shu Chang seemed surprised, he hesitated and said, "It's so late, you..." Zhu Huaijing said, "I'm sorry, I'm too presumptuous. I've already arrived at your door." Shu Chang said: "Then you...come in quickly." When he approached the gate, seeing the old man in the reception room looking out with piercing eyes, Zhu Huaijing couldn't help his chest jumping, regretting that he had been so reckless.Just when he turned around to go back, the old man in the reception room was already looking at him.The old man's eyes were very strange, so he breathed a sigh of relief and walked in without looking sideways. Suddenly, he heard the old man yell, and his body trembled slightly.Looking back, I saw the old man talking to him with a smile.The old man spoke the dialect of a county below Umeji, and he couldn't understand it for a while, and he just thought he was recognized.He was just about to make up an explanation when he finally heard that the old man was asking him about the time.It turned out that the old man was shaking a watch in his hand, which must be broken.Zhu Huaijing reported the time very politely, bowed his head and walked into the corridor of Shu Chang's house.Although it was a false alarm, he found that he couldn't come to this place often. Shu Chang had already been standing behind the door waiting, but before Zhu Huaijing could knock on the door, the door opened silently.The two just looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.Zhu Huaijing went in without a sound, and Shu Chang closed the door without a sound.Zhu Huaijing asked softly, "Where's the child?" Shu Chang moved his mouth into the back room and said, "Just fell asleep." Zhu Huaijing sat down and said, "I just finished the meeting and went for a walk outside. I just wanted to see you." Shu Chang was wearing pajamas, her hair was a little fluffy, and she was always looking away, "You are always so busy, pay attention to your body." "He Youcheng called me just now and asked me to drink tea." Zhu Huaijing said. Then Shu Chang looked at him, eyes wide open, thought for a long time, and said, "How could he dare to invite you to drink tea casually? I know that he is like a fish in water in front of women, but he is very trivial in front of officials. , what's going on?" Zhu Huaijing said: "There is a saying that I shouldn't have said. You have been a nominal couple for several years, and he refuses to leave. You might as well sue the court and ask the court to decide." Shu Chang shook his head and said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, I'm just afraid of worrying." After hearing this, Zhu Huaijing sighed.He also lowered his head, not daring to look at Shu Chang.Shu Chang's body trembled slightly, and he clasped his hands in front of his chest. "Sorry, it's getting late, you can go quickly. The gate will be closed later." Zhu Huaijing sighed heavily, and said, "Okay, I'm leaving." He said, but didn't get up.Shu Chang didn't urge him any more, but his body trembled more and more.Zhu Huaijing held her shoulders, trying to hug her.Shu Chang grabbed his hand, unable to tell whether to push or pinch. "Shu Chang, I, I don't want to leave." Zhu Huaijing's voice trembled. "You... let's go..." Shu Chang didn't even have the strength to speak. Shu Chang opened the half-leaf door and looked at Zhu Huaijing with gloomy eyes.He put on his bag, pretended to be all right, and smiled.He didn't open the door fully either, and squeezed out through the half-open door.Shu Chang stood behind the door without watching him, but the half-open door took a long time to close gently. The next day at work, Zhao Yipu poured Zhu Huaijing a cup of tea and said, "Secretary Zhu, let me report to you what happened last night." Zhu Huaijing couldn't remember what happened for a while, but he answered quickly: "Okay, tell me." Zhao Yipu said: "He Youcheng and the others have nothing to do, they just want to meet you. Don't you know the others well? They are all good construction bosses from Umeji's side, and most of them belong to private enterprises." Zhao Yipu took out a few Business cards, one by one read to Zhu Huaijing.He also said: "He Youcheng may have drunk a few more glasses of wine, or he may have this personality and is very active." "He Youcheng didn't say anything specific?" Zhu Huaijing asked. Zhao Yipu said: "I didn't say anything. I just repeatedly thanked Secretary Zhu for his concern. He was so busy. He even sent a secretary to visit his friends. It was a great way to save face." "Oh, I got it." Zhu Huaijing guessed that He Youcheng might be drunk and bragging about his strong relationship with Secretary Zhu, so he called him because of his drinking.Then he will never give this face again in the future.
