Chapter 268: Bitterness

Li Xiangdu saw that Lu Tao insisted that he hadn't seen Secretary Zhou that night, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, stared at him a few times, didn't say anything, took his wine glass and toasted him, and asked probingly: "Director Lu, if Wu Zhiqi wants to meet with you and talk about Zhou Yihong and He Ying, are you willing?"

Lu Tao was about to meet with Wu Zhiqi to find out how much "secret secrets" he had mastered about Secretary Zhou and He Ying, and also wanted to see what the so-called "evidence" he had, so he deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then said in a reluctant tone: "Director Li, I had some contradictions and opinions with Wu Zhiqi, and I couldn't get used to his villainous style, but since he is your friend, it doesn't hurt for me to meet him." ”

Li Xiangdu said happily: "Okay, he is in Taolin now, I'll call him later, and we'll have tea here at night." ”

Not long after Lu Tao and Li Xiangdu finished eating, Wu Zhiqi arrived as promised and entered their box.

After seeing Lu Tao, Wu Zhiqi showed an embarrassed smile on his face, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and say, "Director Lu, hello." We don't know each other, last time we had a little misunderstanding between us, there was a little conflict, mainly because I was too impatient, and there was a lot of offense between words, I hope Director Lu Haihan!"

Lu Tao also stretched out his hand and shook his hand, and said nonchalantly: "Section Chief Wu, the incident that night was originally a conflict between your husband and wife, and it had nothing to do with me, but you were indeed too impulsive and irritable, and I persuaded you to target me with two sentences, and no one could stand it! However, I also understand your feelings, because at that time you suspected that Political Commissar He was hiding a wild man at home, although it was later confirmed that your speculation was purely groundless, but after all, it was for a reason, so I didn't take this matter to heart." ”

Wu Zhiqi showed a wry smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about what happened that night." According to Director Li, Director Lu is a strange man with a cool personality, integrity and righteousness, and jealousy and hatred, and he is full of economic wealth, both civil and military, and his future prospects are limitless. So I asked Director Li to build a bridge and make friends, and I want to make friends with Director Lu, if Director Lu doesn't dislike it, we will get along like brothers in the future. ”

As he spoke, he put a shopping bag in his hand on the coffee table, pushed it in front of Lu Tao, and said in a very sincere tone: "Director Lu, these are two cigarettes, which are a little gift from me as the eldest brother to the elder brother, I hope you don't push it back." ”

Lu Tao squinted at the cigarettes in the shopping bag, as if they were two "and the world", thinking to himself that He Ying had said many times that Wu Zhiqi was a Grande-like miser, who usually wanted to scrape meat on the legs of mosquitoes, why did he suddenly become so generous to himself this time? It seems that he has a request for himself, and the thing he asks for is definitely not small......

So, he shook his hand and said, "Section Chief Wu, I have received your wishes, but I can't accept this cigarette." You said that we can socialize like brothers in the future, you must be my brother in terms of age, and it should be me who gives you a meeting gift. ”

Li Xiangdu persuaded: "Director Lu, since they are brothers, whoever gives the same gift to whom, you can accept this cigarette! Wait a minute, Section Chief Wu still has something to ask you to help with!"

Lu Tao still wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it: if he resolutely refuses to accept this cigarette, it may arouse the vigilance of Wu Zhiqi and Li Xiangdu, in that case, some of the information he wants to get out of their mouths today may be lost......

So, he hugged his fists at Wu Zhiqi and said, "Since Section Chief Wu is so polite, then I might as well be respectful, thank you!"

Seeing that he was willing to accept the cigarette, Wu Zhiqi let out a long sigh of relief and sat down opposite him.

Lu Tao took a sip of tea and asked, "Section Chief Wu, just now Director Li said that you have something to ask me for, what is the matter?"

Wu Zhiqi hesitated, raised his eyes to look at Lu Tao, and asked: "Director Lu, I heard that you have a close relationship with Zhou Yihong, secretary of the Songshan Municipal Party Committee, and your father is his old comrade-in-arms, and he once saved his life on the battlefield, right?"

Lu Tao nodded quietly: "That's right, Secretary Zhou is an old friend of our Lu family! It's just that before he was transferred to Songshan, I didn't know him, and he didn't know the situation of our family." ”

Wu Zhiqi asked: "I would like to take the liberty of asking: In your mind, what is the image of Zhou Yihong? In other words, what is your impression of him?"

Lu Tao thought for a while and replied: "Although Secretary Zhou is my father's old friend, I have known him for a short time, and he is the secretary of the municipal party committee, I am just a small cadre of the local taxation bureau, although I have been to his house two or three times, but every time I go is polite, and I have not had an in-depth conversation, so I don't know much about his temperament, conduct, ability, and ethics, and I only have a preliminary impression, but this impression is not necessarily accurate." ”

Wu Zhiqi asked, "What is your initial impression of him? Can you tell us about it?"

"That's fine. The first time I met Secretary Zhou, I felt that he had a momentum that was not angry but powerful, which was more consistent with the image of a high-ranking official in my imagination. However, after interacting with him a few times, I felt that he was not as awe-inspiring as he looked, but a more humble and approachable leader, and a relatively low-key person. As for his other aspects, such as his moral character, integrity and integrity, etc., I have no way of judging, and I have never heard others evaluate him. ”

Wu Zhiqi sneered and said: "Director Lu, since you don't understand Zhou Yihong's character and morality, then I will remind you: Zhou Yihong is a complete hypocrite and an old pervert. I can tell you responsibly: he is He Ying's wild man!"

Lu Tao pretended to be surprised and asked, "Section Chief Wu, this kind of thing is not said casually. As the saying goes: catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, catch the traitor and catch the double. You insist that Secretary Zhou has an affair with Political Commissar He, where is the evidence? Did you catch them in bed?"

Wu Zhiqi didn't answer, picked up the handbag on the sofa, took out a stack of photos from it and threw it in front of Lu Tao, saying: "Although I didn't catch the rape in bed, these photos are enough to confirm that Zhou Yihong and He Ying have an ambiguous relationship." I still have a sentence for please don't be surprised: Last time at the door of my house in the 'Green Bank Mansion', if you hadn't blocked it, I might have blocked Zhou Yihong in my house. ”

Lu Tao picked up those photos and looked at a few of them, and couldn't help but secretly complain: It turned out that these photos were all about Zhou Yihong and He Ying together. Among them, there are several photos of Zhou Yihong putting his hands on He Ying's shoulders and talking eagerly, with the background on a wild improvised road, and the other photos were taken secretly in a hotel, showing He Ying and Zhou Yihong entering and leaving the same room one after another. In addition, there are photos of Zhou Yihong and He Ying getting off the same car, and there are only two people in the car, Zhou Yihong and He Ying, there is no driver and secretary, and the car is driven by Zhou Yihong himself......
