Chapter 283: The Mysterious Man
And when Zhang Ruiming made a generous statement, his eyes swept to Gu Hai at the opposite table, and the fat man kept giving him a look and asked him not to say any more, but Zhang Ruiming was at the end of his rope, not to say no, so he had to bet all the treasures on this promotion meeting as if he didn't see it.
And the result came faster than Zhang Ruiming expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Ji Hua, who was on the rostrum in front of him, took the microphone directly and said directly to Zhang Ruiming: "Zhang Jian, today's promotion meeting is mainly to implement the work deployment of the higher authorities on public interest litigation, further unify ideas, cohesion, and strengthen measures to ensure that public interest litigation work is implemented." But I don't want to talk about a specific case, I understand Zhang Jian's distress, but today we have limited time, and the leaders at all levels attending the meeting have their own affairs...... Let's move on to the next step now, and invite the comrades of Dongjiang City to make advanced speeches. β
Ji Hua said the back, his tone was a little aggravated, "...... Ahem, ahem, please note that today's meeting time is limited, we will speed up the progress, and be careful not to temporarily take off the script to play ......"
These words were obviously from Zhang Ruiming's previous sudden and unexpected speech, and the next meeting process was surprisingly smooth, everyone indifferently read the speech that had been reviewed first, the atmosphere was very harmonious, the leader was very satisfied, and only Zhang Ruiming sat there alone.
Be downhearted.
At the end of the meeting, Ji Hua returned to the venue after sending off the leaders at all levels who attended the meeting, and he threw a cigarette at Zhang Ruiming, who was still sitting in place.
"Thanks, I don't smoke. β
Zhang Ruiming clasped his hands together and politely rejected the kindness of the director of the administrative procuratorate.
Ji Hua didn't care, and after spitting out the smoke ring, he looked at Zhang Ruiming and said with a smile: "By the way, speaking of which, we can be regarded as colleagues for a few months, although the time is quite short, I am still quite impressed by you." β
Hearing Ji Hua say this, Zhang Ruiming smiled bitterly: "It's been a few months, but in fact, I haven't met with Director Ji a few times, when I just reported to the provincial inspection, you let me go to Dongjiang, and then I was injured and recuperated, and then I went back to Jingang...... Speaking of which, I haven't really spent a day in this building. β
Speaking of this, Zhang Ruiming looked out the window at the provincial inspection building, the glittering inspection emblem, and said with emotion: "Discipline Department, I came this time, I really want to do this thing, please find a way to give some resources, do the work, now the Jingang City Intermediate People's Court for the Nanhuizhu case, is the case has been delayed for more than half a month to be arranged, the trial is also stuck behind, obviously there is resistance, the situation is very grim, our comrades of the Jingang City Procuratorate, is alone with huge pressure, want to take this case down, but now ......"
Zhang Ruiming's tone was full of urgency, and Ji Hua just sat down, looked at him and smiled faintly: "Zhang Jian, seriously, how do you want us to help you?"
"This ......" really stopped Zhang Ruiming at this time, he really didn't think about this problem carefully before he came, and felt that the provincial inspection must have his own ideas, so although he came to the province to ask for "reinforcements", but how to help, he really didn't have an idea,
Ji Hua took another puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Don't think about it, I'll give you a list of everything that can be done in our province, what we can do is actually to send a letter to the Intermediate People's Court and say hello to the relevant units, this is no problem, I will send it to you immediately, but the Jingang City Intermediate Court ignores us, then I can't guarantee it." β
"Hmm......" Zhang Ruiming nodded, this is indeed the truth, in the context of today's judicial reform, the influence of the prosecution on the court has been greatly weakened, from the perspective of judicial independence and trial independence, of course, there is progress and benefits. From the perspective of cracking some difficult and important cases, the previous formulation of "mutual cooperation and mutual restraint" of judicial organs is more suitable for dealing with a formidable public interest litigation opponent like Xiang Feng Binbin.
Seeing that Zhang Ruiming didn't have any other ideas, Ji Hua continued: "What is the effect of these conventional practices, you know better, in short, Zhang Jian, we can also do our best, if you still want the leader to come forward to give you the platform and support, then I can only say that I don't have this ability, Zhang Jian, you can go to the top to find ......"
"This ......" Zhang Ruiming didn't know how to answer, he was a person who didn't even like to go to the leader for his own private affairs, and now let him go to the leader to coordinate because of official affairs, he was willing, but after thinking about it, he found that it didn't work at all.
I am not familiar with the provincial procuratorate at all, who can I go to? What is the use of finding it? I have such a big Ji Hua, this is obviously the removal of the stool, and I want to let myself fall.
ββ¦β¦ I'll tell you the truth, Director Ji, you know I'm a brainless person, I don't usually know how to run, and now you ask me to find a leader, I can't even figure out which leader is in which office, what use can it be. β
Hearing Zhang Ruiming's bitter face, what he said was the truth, Ji Hua smiled helplessly, "It's good if you understand...... To be honest, it's useless for you to find a leader in this matter, before you came, I heard some rumors from Jingang side...... Let's take note of how you've been doing lately...... I won't say much about what this is, I just hope you understand...... So be it for this case. β
After Ji Hua said this
, Seeing that Zhang Ruiming's expression was a little distracted, and he looked quite lost, which made him feel compassion, so he added: " Don't be too nervous, don't put all the time on work, go to the leader to walk around, report and report, show your face more, let the leader also know your political consciousness, we are also old acquaintances, these words, I shouldn't have told you, but the last Nanjiang Group case, for your desperate spirit, I was really moved, in the end you couldn't stay, I also feel a little indebted, so today I give you a little advice, okay, that's it, brother. You know what I mean, right?"
Why didn't Zhang Ruiming understand what he meant, he specialized in this law and that law all day long, in fact, he was not as good as the leader's "view", he understood this truth since he graduated, but how could Zhang Ruiming bend down if he really let go of the principle of a legal person and become that kind of person?
From a practical point of view, the current situation is obviously that someone has said hello, this case will not expand its impact, and the point is over, but how can Zhang Ruiming pass this hurdle in his heart, what he has seen and heard with Wang Baoyi during this period of time has made him clearly understand what kind of vanity fair the film and television industry is. He believes that as long as these contracts are not completely exposed, it won't be long before Feng Binbin and Fang Xiaoruan can easily launder money in a big way, and even now that these scum are being shouted and beaten by everyone, he, as a public interest litigation prosecutor, can't even do it if he wants to repair a "Nanhui Pillar" for the people of Jingang City? !
How can he be at peace in his heart?
"Director Ji, I understand what you mean, but I don't understand what you said earlier -- "the rumor over there in Jingang"? I want to ask, what kind of rumor is this so-called "rumor" about me?"
Ji Hua originally thought that his heartfelt advice would be listened to by Zhang Ruiming, who had been in the procuratorate for more than ten years, but he didn't expect that this person was really like a rumor, and the oil and salt did not enter, at this time, he was a little helpless, so he could only make his words clear: "...... In short, there are some bad rumors, don't take this to heart, if you insist on asking, I can tell you, but I suggest you don't ask in detail, you understand that some leaders ...... If you have an opinion, it's fine. β
"No, I'd like to be specific. β
Seeing Zhang Ruiming's stubborn and terrible eyes, Ji Hua said helplessly: "Since you are so sure...... For the sake of previous friendships, I can tell you, but you must never say that I said it, understand?"
Zhang Ruiming nodded.
ββ¦β¦ I heard that you have had contact with Wang Baoyi? I also heard that you have some things in your hands, and someone has made a bid to buy them, but you are still not willing to do so? Your boss in the city inspection has already had an idea about you, saying that you are waiting for a price and selling for yourself, and you want to make a profit for yourself, and that you have an idea for this adjustment?"
Ji Hua's voice was slow and low when he said this, Zhang Ruiming heard it in his heart, but it was like a bolt from the blue, the authorities were fascinated, and the bystanders were clear, Zhang Ruiming didn't expect that his reputation had been slandered to such an extent, and he didn't expect that he would be targeted like this, without Ji Hua explaining, he also guessed who was targeting him, and he didn't even need to know who it was.
Zhang Ruiming's heart was bitter, his face turned pale, and he couldn't speak, Ji Hua couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw this scene, he saw too much of a comrade like Zhang Ruiming who was capable and energetic, but he didn't know how to "be a man", from the grassroots to the province, there were always a few thorns who were proud of their talents, thinking that they could turn things around by themselves. But in reality, it is so wishful, and if you want to do something, how difficult it is to be able to do it! Not to mention that it is still a business business.
After a full half of the ring, Zhang Ruiming came to his senses, the corners of his mouth were bitter, his expression was a little low, but there was a confusion in his eyes, at this time, he just muttered to Ji Hua: "Director Ji, no matter what, I hope you believe that I am absolutely selfless in this matter, I contacted Wang Bao, just to be able to handle this case, like some people say "wait for the price and sell", what "for their own benefit", I ...... I can swear to God, I, Zhang Ruiming, personally, have absolutely no purpose in this case!"
Ji Hua cast a comforting gaze and said: "This, of course I am willing to believe you, but it is not convenient for our province to make this statement, after all, ...... Okay, that's it for today, I will give you the work you entrusted, I will definitely do it for you, but I can't guarantee the effect, nothing happens, I'll leave first, you pay attention to safety on the way back. β
After speaking, Ji Hua got up and prepared to leave, Zhang Ruiming also got up and sent him out of the office, the two were separated in the hall on the first floor, Zhang Ruiming walked straight to the prosecutor's car parked in the yard.
Zhang Ruiming sat in the driver's seat, and when he thought of the fact that he had gained nothing from this trip, he couldn't help but want to scold, and remembered that after he had been completely isolated, he was even more angry and slammed his right hand on the steering wheel.
He pondered alone in the car, rubbing his right hand with the leather bag containing the stack of contracts, gritting his teeth, pulling out his mobile phone and dialing a number.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After Zhang Ruiming explained the idea of entrusting this contract directly to Jing Cailiang, this meeting was far more direct and faster than the one he hurried in the car yesterday
More, Jing Cailiang didn't say a word, and directly arranged for his driver to pick him up at the location designated by Zhang Ruiming, and then drove to a remote place outside Fushi.
This trip shouldn't be a Hongmen feast, right?
Unexpectedly, the village road in front of the car gradually opened up, turned a hill, and a huge baroque-style mountain villa rose from the ground, Zhang Ruiming was almost stunned, this ...... There is such a wilderness in this kind of wilderness...... Castle?!
Driving into the heavily guarded courtyard wall, Zhang Ruiming found that he was really right, the plane of this mountain villa is approximately olive-shaped, surrounded by some irregular small towers, and there are living grasses and courtyards in the courtyard wall. The faΓ§ade and ceiling decoration of the manor emphasize the dynamic curve, the faΓ§ade is mostly zigzag curved lines, the eaves are carved balustrades with Gothic style, the walls are very ornate, richly decorated, and dazzling in the sun. Although it appears in the remote suburbs of Fushi, it seems a little out of place with the outside scenery, and it is inevitable that it will feel pretentious. But the design techniques are skillful and the materials are refined, and it is not at all possible that money can be built.
Zhang Ruiming cast a confused look at the talented driver in the front row, and this personal figure who has served beside the leaders of the provincial department all the year round reacted instantly.
"This is the winery of a friend of our director, our director just has a few projects to inspect today, so I came here and met my friend, and you can meet our director after the next inspection." β
The other party's answer was quite detailed and cautious, but it revealed a strong sense of distrust, Zhang Ruiming regretted his previous gaffe, but it was not easy to take it back at this time, just "um" for a while, and the right responded.
The car stopped in front of the door, Zhang Ruiming got out of the car and found that what the driver said just now was true, this is really a wine estate, behind this exaggerated manor, there is a large area of grape planting, and as soon as he got out of the car, Secretary Wang, who had spoken several times on the phone before, greeted him.
"Please, the hall director is waiting for you in the cigar room on the second floor. β
Zhang Ruiming nodded, today's attitude of Secretary Wang is completely different from the blunt tone on the phone yesterday, and it is simply impossible to connect people with voices.
Zhang Ruiming's expression did not move, and followed him inside, the luxury of this manor is really not fake, walking into the empty foyer, just a few sofas and coffee tables, which look particularly empty and more stylish. The murals on the wall also seem to have a sense of age, Zhang Ruiming does not understand oil paintings, but obviously these paintings are not imitations, so it seems that the owner of this manor is worth no ordinary value.
Following the rotating stairs, Zhang Ruiming came to the cigar room on the second floor, where Jing Cailiang was sitting in the middle of the chic position, and the unique smoke pavilion window of the cigar room divided the sunlight into countless gold-colored spots, reflecting the expression on Jing Cailiang's face. Next to him, there was a white-bearded middle-aged man wearing riding boots and riding clothes, with a rather fashionable scarf tied around his neck, completely dressed as a Western-style gentleman, although his expression was comforting and unmoving, but his aura was impossible to ignore. Looks like he should be the owner of this manor.
The master saw that Jing Cailiang was going to meet guests, so he took the initiative to get up.
"Talk about it first, Director of the Well Hall, and I'll go down and run two laps, just in time to try out the two Scottish bantams that have just been brought in. β
Jing Cailiang smiled and nodded, and Kwon responded.
The master then walked over to Zhang Ruiming with a smile and politely stretched out his right hand.
"Hello. β
Zhang Ruiming was shocked by his powerful aura, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand.
ββ¦β¦ Hello, hello. β
"Since it's a friend of the director of the well hall, that's my friend, please feel free, I'll wait and let the housekeeper here accompany Zhang Jian around, and I have Cuba's Cohiba, I have time to hide, please don't be polite." β
"High ...... What?" Zhang Ruiming, who doesn't smoke, was a little confused.
The master smiled and beckoned to the waiter next to him, who opened a storage box for cigars and took out a box of delicate cigars, and handed him a silver cigar cutter.
This unfathomable gentleman took the initiative to cut the cigar head for Zhang Ruiming and sent it to him, but Zhang Ruiming was disrespectful and could only catch it, and then the gentleman used a special long match to light the cigar for him.
Zhang Ruiming had to politely try to take a sip.
The strong aroma choked into Zhang Ruiming's chest, making him bend over violently, almost choking out tears, and after coughing a few breaths, he finally came back to his senses, and felt an inexplicable sense of vacancy.
This...... Is this what a cigar tastes like?
Zhang Ruiming didn't have time to say thanks, and after the owner smiled and left a sentence of "please enjoy", he stepped out, leaving space for the two to talk, and this short first meeting left a deep impression on Zhang Ruiming, this person is also too handsome! Although he looks over fifty years old, he is so stylish. Even if he didn't know that this manor was his private property, just by looking at his temperament and conversation, he knew that this was definitely a top rich man, no!
So, who is he?
