Chapter 41 Chapter Forty-One

Zhu Huaijing finally made up his mind that Wang Xiaomang would never be allowed to intervene in the bidding of the expressway project.He specifically called Hu Yuekun and said: "Yuekun, we are going to call for bids soon. With the strength of your company, I believe you will win the bid." Hu Yuekun hurriedly said: "Huaijing, thank you for your concern. Please do Don't make it difficult for you, what to do, you can do what you want." A few days later, the main person in charge of the prefectural committee held a meeting to study the bidding for the last time.Zhu Huaijing said: "Someone greeted me and wanted to intervene in the bidding of the expressway project. I am here to express my opinion to comrades, and no one's greeting is useless. Comrades, some people can make hundreds of millions of profits by saying hello. He has I have the guts to ask for it, but I don’t have the guts to give it yet! The key is that our prefectural committee members must unite as one and resolutely fight against all corruption. The expressway is a century-old plan, a millennium plan, and we will never allow anyone to be involved in this matter. What the hell are you doing here!"

Everyone who listened knew who the "some people" Zhu Huaijing was referring to were.At this time, the statement about Wang Mangzhi's imminent transfer from Kedu seems to be becoming more and more accurate.It's just that some said he would take this position, and some said he would take that position.Anyway, go to Beijing. It was at this meeting that Zhu Huaijing accidentally discovered that only one person in charge of the prefectural committee present was wearing a top hat.Zhu Huaijing didn't wear it a long time ago, and he gave the navy blue top hat to Chen Changyun, a farmer friend who runs a restaurant.One day Chen Changyun went to his office to sit for a while, saying that he hadn't visited Secretary Zhu for a long time.Zhu Huaijing was busy and didn't have time to talk with him.He greeted him with a smile, took off the top hat from the coat rack, and gave it to Chen Changyun as a souvenir.Chen Changyun was overjoyed, and went out wearing a top hat.

After repeated discussions with relevant parties, Zhu Huaijing decided to broadcast the bidding process live on TV, known as "sunshine bidding".In advance, "Meiji Daily" and TV stations made a lot of hype, and interested ordinary people paid attention to this matter.But now ordinary people are no longer children, they always have their own ideas.Some people said that Umeji might really become a good secretary, while others said that she might just be acting again.It is becoming more and more difficult for the people to believe what the higher authorities do and say. The tender date was intentionally placed on a Saturday so people could watch TV at home.Zhu Huaijing did not go to the scene, but also watched TV at home.After a whole morning, the program seems to be watertight.Until half past twelve noon, it was finally successfully completed.The entire project is divided into three sections and bids are invited separately, in order to allow competition among construction units, which is good for ensuring the quality of the project.Hu Yuekun's Kangda Company won the bid, and Zeng Feiyan's Feima Company was out.

Zhu Huaijing immediately called Hu Yuekun, "Yuekun, congratulations, your Kangda company has won the bid." Hu Yuekun hurriedly said: "Thank you, Huai Jing. Our company will create the best engineering quality and guarantee that it will surpass the other two companies." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said: "Yuekun, you don't have to be polite to me. I have to thank you. With a company as good as your Kangda winning the bid, I feel relieved." Just as he put down the phone, Wang Xiaomang called and said in a long voice, "Dude, you are not enough friends!" Before Zhu Huaijing could say anything, he hung up the phone.Zhu Huaijing couldn't help his chest pounding, anxious and angry.He poured a glass of cold water and gulped it down.After panting heavily for a while, he gradually calmed down.Zhu Huaijing was not going to explain anything to Wang Xiaoyang anymore, and the perfunctory on the scene was unnecessary.Listening to Wang Xiaomang's tone, it was clearly threatening.Zhu Huaijing recalled what Chen Qingye said, this Wang Xiaomang was indeed unruly.

Now that this is done, there is nothing to fear.Zhu Huaijing has never felt like a man like he does now.It seems that starting from this Saturday, he smiled more calmly, but he became more resolute in his bones.No matter how difficult it is to decide, he handles it lightly.He always looks happy, but what he says is a stick in the hands of the police: it looks like rubber on the outside, but steel on the inside. As long as the media is involved, things will become as complicated as possible.Both TV stations and newspapers felt that this project bidding was too innovative, and they should make follow-up hype.As a result, newspapers published several discussion articles in succession, and television made several special talk shows.In fact, these people who join in the fun all want to make Zhu Huaijing happy.Zhu Huaijing was also really happy. People said that no one was making money in this bidding.

However, after a few days, Zhu Huaijing suddenly received a report: Wang Xiaomang still got benefits from a construction unit that won the bid!About 80 to 90 million yuan. This was something he never thought of.In other words, Wang Xiaomang contributed to the company's ability to get the project.Zhu Huaijing always thought that this bidding was impeccable from the plan to the procedure, but there were still loopholes to exploit.Live TV, can be described as the peritoneum of all eyes!When this scandal is made public, what do the common people believe?What else is true when millions of eyes are staring at something that is still false in the end?

Zhu Huaijing was furious, and he came to Xiang Changshan, and almost shouted: "Investigate it immediately, and punish whoever cheats." Xiang Changshan's face was solemn, but his tone was very gentle, and he said, "Secretary Zhu, I think I'll let this matter go for the time being. It's not good for you if you're in a hurry." "Nothing good or bad, at worst, take off this official hat!" Zhu Huaijing's face was livid. Xiang Changshan's face was still solemn, he didn't say anything, just shook his head and waved his hands.After a while, seeing that Zhu Huaijing was calmer, he said, "Secretary Zhu, please listen to my opinion."

Zhu Huaijing thought about it calmly, and sighed: "Okay, listen to you, let's talk about it later. That Wang Xiaomang, who had already made a profit, was not satisfied, and even called me in a weird way to demonstrate to me! It's really not a thing .” Xiang Changshan looked worried, and said: "If it's not done well, the country will be destroyed by these bastards." "Changshan, you have shared a lot of burdens for me, thank you. Have you worked as the chief prosecutor for more than seven years?" Zhu Huaijing stared at Xiang Changshan with questions in his eyes.

Xiang Changshan smiled and replied: "It will be seven years and three months until the end of this month. Secretary Zhu is really familiar with the situation of the cadres." Xiang Changshan is counting the days with his fingers, which is really interesting.Zhu Huaijing sighed, his face turned black with seriousness, and said: "Changshan, I, Zhu Huaijing, never make a wish in front of my comrades. This is not what we Communists do. But today I want to have an open and honest talk with you. I am going to recommend you Replace Comrade Li Longbiao. The problem now is that if Comrade Wang Mangzhi is not the good leader we imagined, not only will you not be able to be the deputy secretary, but I will not be the secretary for a long time. But I think it is unrealistic not to consider personal gains and losses at all, but We should have something more important. After all, we are men who have lived in this world for more than 40 or 50 years. We must act like men at critical times. If you trust me, please support my work Even if it's a gamble, I don't believe that the world in Jingdu will always follow someone's surname."

Xiang Changshan said: "Secretary Zhu, with your trust, I have nothing to say. I don't believe that he can really cover the sky with one hand. It is rumored that he will leave soon." Zhu Huaijing said: "Therefore, it makes sense for you to say that this matter should be put aside for the time being. However, we can't expect things to be easy when he leaves. We must strive for the initiative. Therefore, even if we don't care about this case now, we must be prepared. .” Xiang Changshan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." Zhu Huaijing laughed and said, "Changshan, I'm holding this official hat in my hand now. Whoever wants to take it someday, I'll throw it to him immediately. I am Zhu, a farmer's son. I don't have any backing , Just by working stupidly and hard, being able to sit in the position of secretary of the prefectural committee for a long time is considered a glorious ancestor. To be the last one, you have to work for your own bones. I am not afraid of anything anymore. I am just afraid of getting hurt like You good comrades who support my work!"

Xiang Changshan was a little moved, he let out a long sigh, and said: Secretary Zhu, listening to your heartfelt words is an education for me.To be honest, I've been the Attorney General for over seven years.There were several opportunities to serve as the deputy secretary of the prefectural committee, but they were all overwhelmed.I have an idea.Now, I am bearish.Hearing you say that makes me more open-minded.I just became the deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee. After a few years, I have to think about it.If you can't get on, it doesn't make any sense.Secretary Zhu, I will listen to you, and I will do whatever you say. " For the sake of this, the two big men felt a little solemn.When parting, the two stood up, raised their spirits, and shook hands tightly.Zhu Huaijing felt a cool thing rushing up his back, reaching the top of his head.Immediately, people also feel much refreshed, as if their eyes are brighter. If Zhu Huaijing didn't care about anything, no ghost would believe it.But he expected that Wang Mangzhi would not dare to do anything to him casually.Even if Wang Mangzhi wanted to attack him, he would have to be famous as a teacher.He has the report letter of Wang Xiaomang accepting favor fees in his hand, if Wang Mangzhi is unkind at that time, he will have no choice but to be unrighteous.Take one step at a time. One afternoon, Shu Yao called Zhu Huaijing and said she wanted to see him.He thought he was in an extraordinary period and it was inconvenient to meet her.Shu Yao said that she was fine, but she just wanted to say something.She said that if the secretary is not available, let it be.Hearing what Shu Yao said, Zhu Huaijing didn't care too much, so he made an appointment to meet at Black Swan at night. Shu Yao, wearing a hat and scarf, knocked on his door.She looks like an underground worker.Zhu Huaijing couldn't help laughing.He found that no matter how much Shu Yao tried to hide, her natural softness couldn't be wrapped up.He politely invited her to sit down and poured tea for her. Shu Yao sat down, took off her hat and scarf, and said, "Secretary Zhu, our family has caused you a lot of trouble." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "Don't say that. On the other hand, I'm the one who caused you trouble. You don't know me, so there's nothing wrong with you. If you eat my rice, you have to stay in the vortex all the time. There's nothing you can do about it." Shu Yao said: "I want to talk to you and apologize to you in person, or I will be suffocated to death. I can't stay in Meici anymore, and I want to go out for a while. I also want to ask for your opinion on this matter. " "You want to leave this environment, I understand. But I don't want you to go out and wander around. It's better not to leave your profession." Zhu Huaijing lowered his head and thought for a while, "Well, I have friends at Jingdu TV Station, and I'll just go to other places. I’m not familiar with it. If you are interested, you can consider going to Jingdu TV Station. You also know that it is difficult to get transferred in for a while. You can go there first, secondment or part-time job is fine, and you can contact and transfer later. Please believe , I said this, and I will be responsible to the end." Shu Yao stared at Zhu Huaijing, and said for a long time: "It's good to be able to do this. Thanks to Secretary Zhu." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "Don't keep calling me Secretary Zhu. Your elder sister calls me by my name, and your younger brother is called Secretary Zhu because of work. You can call me brother. You don't dislike having a brother like me, do you?" "I regard you as my elder brother, others will not regard you as my elder brother." Shu Yao lowered her head, "My sister, her life is too hard." Zhu Huaijing looked up to the sky and booed, "Your sister is such a good woman!" "My sister often tells me about you." "Shu Chang, is she okay?" Shu Yao said: "It's still calm. I think she understands you." Zhu Huaijing didn't dare to leave Shu Yao sitting for a long time, chatted for a while, and invited her back early. He didn't want to go home, so he rested in Black Swan.It was only past nine o'clock, and there was no trace of sleepiness.After reading the newspaper for a while and turning on the TV again, it was meaningless. I simply sat quietly in the luxurious and spacious living room. After sitting for a while, I felt inexplicably lonely.He wanted to call Shu Chang, but he didn't know what to say to her.He Youcheng was formally arrested long ago and has not yet been sentenced.The 300,000 yuan he defrauded had already cost more than 100,000 yuan.There are still more than 100,000 stolen money that cannot be refunded, and I am afraid that I will be sentenced for a few more years.Zhu Huaijing really didn't want He Youcheng to go to jail, but this person didn't live up to his expectations, so who is to blame? Zhu Huaijing hesitated for a long time, but still picked up the phone. "Shu Chang, it's me. How are you?" "Okay." Shu Chang's voice rustled. Zhu Huaijing said: "I don't know what to say to you. You must pay attention to your body. Don't dwell on unpleasant things. I will talk to relevant parties and try to deal with it lightly." Shu Chang said: "You don't have to ask about this matter, it's his own doing. It doesn't matter to me what happens to him." Zhu Huaijing said: "You have to be well. One day I will come to see you with Shu Tian. Shu Chang, I... am very worried about you..." He wanted to say that he cared about her very much, but the words got out of shape again. "What about you? How are you?" Shu Chang asked. "I don't want to go home and be out all the time. I'm in Black Swan. I'm... ok." Putting down the phone, Zhu Huaijing felt even worse.Listening to the comfortable voice, she seemed to be sick.He could only pretend not to know.Did she blame him for not helping?No matter how much she blamed him, it made sense.In fact, as long as He Youcheng refunded the money and he said hello again, everything would be fine.But he can't do that. He took a hasty shower, wrapped himself in pajamas, and lay on the bed smoking a cigarette.Recently, I want to smoke again, and I feel annoyed.But it was just behind someone's back, trying to restrain himself.He felt strange when he heard the doorbell ringing suddenly.No one knew he was here.Zhu Huaijing became alert, got out of bed quietly, and went behind the door.Looking at the cat's eyes, I was really shocked.It turned out that Shu Chang came.He hurriedly opened the door. Shu Chang didn't raise her eyes, she just walked in with her head down.As soon as the door was closed, Shu Chang stood behind the door and did not move.Head still bowed, shoulders twitched.Zhu Huaijing panicked, pressed her shoulders, and advised, "Don't cry, sit down, you..." Shu Chang's body softened, and she threw herself into Zhu Huaijing's arms, crying loudly.Zhu Huaijing brushed her hair back, looked at her face, and said, "Don't cry, let's sit down, shall we?" Shu Chang sat down, still crying against the arm of the sofa.That appearance was very pitiful, so Zhu Huaijing held her in his arms and said, "If you want to cry, you should have a good cry." He hugged her tightly and kissed her hair, neck and ears.Shu Chang lowered his head first, then slowly handed over his lips.She stopped crying, and they kissed passionately. "I... I... I don't even have a place to cry, so I want... I want to cry in front of you." Shu Chang said and started crying again.Zhu Huaijing didn't speak, just kissed her.Shu Chang put her head into his arms, dawdled for a while, and stopped crying.Her originally cold body slowly warmed up.
