Chapter 299: The Jedi Strikes Back
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Zhang Ruiming returned home, it was already past one o'clock in the middle of the night, and he tiptoed into the door hole and just pushed open a crack. Suddenly, a ray of light shone out, and he was shocked in his heart, it's so late, and his wife hasn't slept yet?
He wanted to call his wife's name lightly, but remembered that today was the day when his daughter came home from vacation, maybe Xuanxuan was asleep upstairs, and it would not be good if she woke her up this time, so Zhang Ruiming gently closed the door, and then stood on tiptoe and walked towards the house.
He walked to the fireplace in the living room and saw his wife Tang Shi sitting on the sofa chair with her hands around her hands, with a stern expression, and there was a familiar figure opposite her who was as immobile as a mountain - Zhang Ruiming's father, Zhang Qingcang.
"Dad, are you here today? Oh, by the way, it should be you who picked up Xuanxuan from school today. Zhang Ruiming said hello, took off his coat, and sat on the sofa, he felt a little strange in his heart, since the last time he and Tang Shi had a big quarrel, his parents moved out of this villa, so as not to get involved in the dispute between the young couple. Unless you want to see your granddaughter, or take Xuanxuan to and from school, Zhang Qingcang would not come to this seaside villa now, but today...... Looking at this battle, Zhang Qingcang's face was solemn, and the lines between his eyebrows on his forehead had been tightened into a capital "Chuan" character, and he sat there quietly, the dim floor lamp divided his face into one bright and one dark, looking cloudy and uncertain, not angry and arrogant.
"What's wrong? Is this ?...... Why are they all so nervous?" Zhang Ruiming was a little confused by this battle, he suddenly remembered if something happened to Xuanxuan, and said nervously: "Could it be Xuanxuan's what's wrong?"
"No, your daughter has been very well-behaved lately, and now she is sleeping alone upstairs with a doll, and I watched her fall asleep before coming down. β
"Oh......" Zhang Ruiming relaxed a little, but he was even more puzzled.
Then why are these two people close to him so desperate now, as if a catastrophe is coming?
But he still pretended to be relaxed and said to Tang Shi: "Oh...... By the way, what are you two doing sitting here? Go to bed early, I'll have something to do later, I'll sleep in the study tonight, Xuanxuan will trouble you to accompany her......"
Seeing Zhang Ruiming's casual appearance, Tang Shi just sighed lightly, and then said: "...... I got a call from your "little" junior sister today......"
"Which junior sister?"
Zhang Ruiming was confused, this junior sister is of course worth his female classmates from the Department of Political Science and Law of Western University, he paid himself that he had no peach news when he was in school, and there were so many classmates at Western University, and there were even fewer female classmates with whom he was in contact, could it be that his wife was eating some inexplicable vinegar.
"It's from Taizheng Law Firm, the one surnamed Liao. β
"Oh, Liao Cai. Zhang Ruiming's heart suddenly appeared with that bewitching face, "Why, even I basically have no contact with her, and the contact is all at work, and Uncle Wang ...... last time In that case, she and I fought to the death, why would she suddenly call you?"
"She said that she called you on behalf of their firm, and she also said that Wu Kaiming didn't dare to contact you because of the case last time, so I asked her to call you today, but I was afraid that you wouldn't refuse, so I talked to us first and did the work of doing our family affairs......"
ββ¦β¦ Heh, they also know that I won't borrow their phone......" Hearing this, Zhang Ruiming couldn't help but sneer, but soon, the smile in his eyes disappeared, and Wu Kaiming's scheming face slowly appeared in front of Zhang Ruiming's eyes at this time, thinking that he was brought into the trap step by step by this old fox last time, he was angry.
What kind of conspiracy do you want to set up through your own family today, this kind of shameless person, I must find an opportunity in the future to completely defeat this kind of conspirator in the court once, and then I will give up!
ββ¦β¦ So what the hell did she say, but, believe me, they are from the Taisho Office...... I can't believe what I said, you don't know that I have fought with them three times and twice, and I don't know how much I have lost......"
Ignoring Zhang Ruiming's reminder, Tang Shi said in a quiet tone.
"She said that you are going to be transferred to Ningli County soon, and let you think about going to the Taisho office......"
Hearing this, Zhang Ruiming stiffened as if he was instantaneous, and suddenly stood in place, he instantly understood, why Zhang Qingcang was sitting here today, still waiting for himself to come back so late, it was this damn Liao Cai, who so easily revealed this "secret" that could not be disclosed to his family!
The years in Ningli County can hardly be called "good memories" for Zhang Ruiming. Ningli County's economy is underdeveloped, the environment is bad, even if it is nearly 200 kilometers away from Jingang City, and the people are strong, almost every day there are cases pressed over, when he was in the Ningli County Public Prosecution Department, Zhang Ruiming has experienced unimaginable training, from "Xiao Zhang" to "Zhang Jian", although he has honed a solid ability, and after two years of grinding, he will immediately become "Lao Zhang" from the appearance. During the days of such hard work, Zhang Ruiming's hair fell out a lot, dotted with white silks, lumbar spine displacement, chronic cholangitis, and various chronic diseases.
Finally, because of the secondment to the municipal inspection to deal with the "Jinchuang Chemical Plant Xijiang Lake Pollution Incident" - that is, the case where Wang Yingying's career started, during this period, Zhang Ruiming performed effectively, and was promoted by Lu Bin to the Jingang Municipal Procuratorate as the deputy chief of the civil banking department, which opened his new journey of public interest litigation.
However, he didn't expect that it was the prosecutor general who sent him back to Ningli County in the end.
Zhang Ruiming's eyes darkened, knowing that he couldn't hide it now, so he simply had a showdown with the two of them! So, after his expression dropped for a moment, he immediately recovered, and said as if there was nothing: "Oh...... It's just that the internal structure has been reformed recently, and the land inspection department asked me to be the head of the first prosecutor's department, and speaking of which, it can be regarded as a half-level promotion......"
"Ruiming, don't lie to me and your daughter-in-law, I have already asked a friend to go to the city inspection to inquire, you are now the head of the civil bank section of the city inspection, and suddenly asked you to go to the procuratorate below to be a "minister", how can this be a "half-level promotion"? Obviously, you have been directly demoted by half a level! Tell me, what mistake did you make? Is there something ...... Disciplinary violations?!"
Seeing that his father had already found out, Zhang Rui knew that he couldn't hide this "old inspector" who had also worked in the procuratorate for nearly 20 years, he smiled awkwardly and said, "How is it possible! What are you talking about...... Dad, you know who I am, and I would never make any mistakes. If I would take risks for a little profit, then why should I continue to stay in the procuratorate and do such a thankless job......
Hearing Zhang Ruiming's "plea", Zhang Qingcang said: "Heh, your last sentence is good, you really want to ask yourself, why do you continue to stay in the procuratorate and do such a thankless job!"
Zhang Ruiming was speechless for a while, Zhang Qingcang's question had appeared countless times in this family, and he had asked himself countless times, but he had never been able to give himself an answer.
And today, I have been driven to a dead end, and I can't go back to my home soon, so why bother to keep this chicken-like job?
At this time, Tang Shi also lost no time in saying, "Yes...... The current situation at home, Zhang Ruiming, let me tell you solemnly, if you are really transferred to Ningli County, then this family will not be able to go on at all. β
Faced with his wife's solemn expression of her attitude at this time, Zhang Ruiming felt flustered.
"I don't want to transfer either, but I do have that in mind now......"
"What are you thinking about! What is the situation of these leaders? Why are you working hard every day here, and in the end you don't make any progress! Why do you still want to throw you to such a far place! The more you do things, the more you make mistakes! It's too much! In this way, you should give me a clear answer first, do you want to continue to work in this unit? Or are you willing to come out?...... Of course, you don't have to go to the Taisho office, your dad can arrange some places for you...... Besides, you still have so many classmates, even if you go to the company as a legal officer, it is better than you going to that ghost place in Ningli County. β
Tang Shi began to speak excitedly, and when he talked about the back, he remembered Zhang Ruiming's stubborn temper of eating soft and not hard, so he quickly changed his attitude and tried to reason with his ignorant husband. At this time, Zhang Qingcang next to him also snorted lightly: "...... You stunned young man with no experience in shopping malls, I don't have a good position for you, and don't think about being a manager or anything...... You, come and help me out, it's almost ...... to be my assistant first."
Zhang Qingcang's tone was blunt, but his intentions were good, he was worried that Zhang Ruiming saw that this was his family's company, and his expectations in his heart would be too high, so he couldn't help but give him a preventive shot first, let him stay by his side first, learn his skills well, and prepare to entrust the country to him step by step in the future, but Zhang Ruiming categorically rejected his father's kindness.
"Dad, I won't go to your ......"
Zhang Qingcang suddenly changed color, and his voice trembled a little: "You...... Are you going to insist on staying in the prosecutor's office!?"
Facing his father's anger, Zhang Ruiming nodded silently.
This kid is really a stone in a pitβsmelly and hard! He has been forced into such a field, and he is still guarding such a unit, and he is forcing himself into a dead end!
Zhang Qingcang snorted heavily between his noses, turned his head away, and didn't even look at him.
Tang Shi on the side had a faint premonition that Zhang Ruiming would stick to this career, she knew her husband's stinky temper, and she also knew Zhang Ruiming's noble nature, so it was really unrealistic for him to give up a profession like a prosecutor that could realize his spiritual ideals. But no matter what, Zhang Ruiming can't be allowed to go to Ningli County, and his family can't be separated. Thinking of this, Tang Shi tried to persuade from another aspect.
She stood up with a brush and said with the strength of a woman: "Since you still can't do without this job...... That's fine, let's find a way to stay in the city inspection! I'll go to your courtyard with you tomorrow and go directly to your leader's office! How can there be such an unreasonable thing! My husband works diligently and hard-working! And he hasn't made any mistakes, so why can he be bullied like this? I don't believe that there is no place to be reasonable in this world......
Seeing his wife's appearance of wanting to make trouble, Zhang Ruiming couldn't cry or laugh, he waved his hand and signaled his wife to calm down first, don't be impulsive at this time. But where did Tang Shi listen, the more he talked, the more excited he became, seeing that he would not make trouble tomorrow, he would turn the world upside down and swear not to give up. Zhang Ruiming hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Don't say it, you still have to go to work tomorrow, don't be indignant here, hurry up and rest, I have to catch the subway in the morning, hey......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Ruiming felt sorry for his wife's difficulty, after leaving Yongrui Puhua, she suffered a lot in order to find this new job, and finally found this job that can meet Tang Shi's psychological expectations in terms of treatment and development, which has surprised both of them, and now of course they have to grasp this hard-won opportunity tightly.
But what Zhang Ruiming didn't expect was that Tang Shi's next answer made him feel even more bitter.
"No need, I've resigned today...... Tomorrow I will concentrate on staying at home with Xuanxuan. β
"You resigned!?" Zhang Ruiming was full of shock at first, he knew how difficult it was for a married woman of appropriate age like Tang Shi to find a job outside, and she actually gave up this job with an annual salary of more than 300,000 yuan?
ββ¦β¦ Or is it because of my case last time......?
Tang Shi just smiled bitterly and didn't deny it.
These days, because of the last Nanhuizhu damage case, Zhang Ruiming has been involved in the struggle of Wang Baoyi and Fang Xiaoruan, the bigwigs in the film and television industry. And Tang Shi's new boss also suddenly put forward favorable conditions at that time, asking her to provide Zhang Ruiming's relevant information, and had tried to buy Zhang Ruiming through Tang Shi, after she categorically refused, Tang Shi's situation became instantly difficult, the original good resources, good customers were taken away, and the difficulties against her became more and more intense, even to the siege posture. Only then did Tang Shi understand that it turned out that this accounting firm gave him super high treatment. also coveted Zhang Ruiming's special identity at that time, trying to find a breakthrough from Tang Shi to the chief of the civil bank.
In order not to trouble Zhang Ruiming's work, and in order not to have the same conflict between husband and wife as in the Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical case, Tang Shi resolutely chose to resign after two months of hard work.
And this is also the price that must be paid to protect her husband's career.
His wife's silence had confirmed the answer to the question, and shame, guilt, and a man's sense of responsibility were all strongly tormenting his tired nerves and burning his anxious heart. Zhang Ruiming didn't dare to look up at his wife's expression, he was afraid of reading the loss and helplessness from it.
For herself, for this family, Tang Shi has lost her career, how much do you want to disappoint her!?
"Alright...... Don't worry, the family can still be maintained now, our dad has already paid the money for Xuanxuan's piano lessons today, you don't have to worry too much about money, just be happy yourself, and don't put too much pressure on yourself......"
"It's okay, wife, don't make trouble, don't worry, I won't go to the ...... in Ningli County"
"What?" Tang Shi was overjoyed, she was worried that she had heard it wrong, after getting the news that Zhang Ruiming was about to be "assigned" from Liao Cai today, she spent the night in anxiety, and at this time, Zhang Ruiming actually said, "No need to go"!?
"Hmm...... Don't worry, I'm not going......"
Zhang Qingcang was uneasy about his son's unfounded self-confidence, although he was still a little angry at Zhang Ruiming's previous foolishness, but he still asked with concern: "Are you sure? I have heard from a few leaders of the city inspection, and the meaning is very clear, I must drive you away." If you're just trying to put us at ease, there's no need for that. You're going to have a party committee tomorrow, right? While you still have time, do you want me to find someone? Help you say a few words?"
In the face of his family's concern, Zhang Ruiming just waved his hand, he stood up, turned around and walked to the door of the study, pressed the incandescent lamp in the study with his hand, and turned back to give his family an indifferent smile.
"Rest assured, I'm sure of changing my mind...... Besides, if it really doesn't work, I promise you, if you insist on throwing me two hundred miles away from home, then I will resign and change jobs. Anyway, I'm not going to leave this house. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The biggest trouble of living in the villa is the mosquitoes in the summer, the Zhang family's seaside villa, although the property management, not to the summer to do crazy insect control and mosquito control, the Zhang family has long changed the open-air turf into a floor tile and flower basket of green layout, but can not stand the too dense greening in the community, even if it is autumn now, there are still countless mosquitoes "buzzing" to the mosquito net. In addition, at this time, in the whole community, the light in Zhang Ruiming's study was still on, and after a while, the windows were densely packed with a group of fire-fighting galls, "crackling and banging" on the glass, rustling.
For all this disturbance, Zhang Ruiming was unaware.
With the keys of his ten fingers flying, the computer in front of him keeps jumping out of continuous characters, Zhang Ruiming is busy typing out the important investigation report that will be reported to the provincial inspection tomorrow, this tracking report on Zhao Zuo, is an important work of the provincial inspection this year, and it is also a major content of the special assessment of the Tianjin and Hong Kong city inspection. The data and information contained in it should be included in the annual work report of the chief procurator of the provincial procuratorate to the people's congress! It can be said that this report has touched the nerves of the judicial circles of the entire Tianjin and Hong Kong City.
