Chapter 48: Gone Astray

It is said that on that day, Yan Yuxiang heard Zhao Chunming say, "If only it were corruption!", he knew that this matter was not so simple.

Yan Yuxiang asked Zhao Chunming to calm down for a while, and then slowly told his "encounter" in the past few years.

It turns out that since the last time Zhao Chunming left Yan Yuxiang's house, his career has been booming.

He was first promoted to the leader of the Environmental Protection Bureau of the Development Zone, and then took advantage of the province's coal integration and pollution control to wantonly eat and take cards, which caused the people of the Development Zone to complain. Although people went to the province to petition, they pressed down his backer, Bai Liang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, every time.

Although Bai Liang is more greedy than him, after all, he is from a different background, he is an authentic college graduate, and he doesn't know how many more means than Zhao Chunming.

Bai Liang also persuaded him again and again, asking him to restrain himself, but Zhao Chunming ignored Bai Liang's persuasion. For him, corruption is like taking drugs, and the more he is greedy, the more addictive he becomes.

With the development of the past few years, the province attaches great importance to the economic development of the development zone where Zhao Chunming is located, and all the investment promotion handled by Bai Liang has been introduced to Zhao Chunming, which has greatly improved Zhao Chunming's political performance in a short period of time.

Of course, a large part of the oil and water that Zhao Chunming fished out of it also flowed into Bai Liang's pocket. The two of them have become grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can do without each other.

In this way, in less than a few years, he was transferred from the Environmental Protection Bureau to the deputy director of the development zone, and then rose all the way until last year he sat on the throne of the top party official in the development zone.

In fact, Zhao Chunming also knew that because he couldn't read a single word, it was already his limit to be able to be such an official, so he didn't have the luxury of being able to move up again, but spared no effort to focus on corruption, and he wanted to make a lot of money for himself before he retired.

If he continued like this, it was possible for him to land safely, but at the end of last year, he met a person who led him into the abyss.

This person is called Zhou Jie, from Zhao Chunming's mouth, Yan Yuxiang can know that this Zhou Jie is a southerner, who looks like a young man in his early thirties, usually dressed very exquisitely, and often holds a string of huge Bodhi seeds in his hands. He is generous and has a wide range of contacts, and many southern investors who have settled in the development zone have been recommended by Zhou Jie.

Zhou Jie never said how he got these customers, whenever Zhao Chunming asked him curiously, Zhou Jie always said that his father was a real estate developer in the south, and the business was okay, this was his father's connections, Zhao Chunming believed it, so he didn't ask anymore.

came and went, Zhao Chunming trusted Zhou Jie very much, and the two actually formed a year-old friendship, and in the end Zhou Jie had become Zhao Chunming's right-hand man, and Zhao Chunming would make a decision only after discussing everything with Zhou Jie.

But in the winter of last year, Zhou Jie suddenly said that he still has many rich friends in GD, all of whom are well-known investors in that area, and they have always wanted to go to the north to expand their business, so they have been asking Zhou Jie to find a good opportunity for them.

Now Zhao Chunming is very addicted to attracting investment, because every time he can get a lot of dark transactions from it "openly", he hurriedly asked Zhou Jie to contact them, hoping that they can come over to talk.

But a few days later, Zhou Jie told Zhao Chunming that he had communicated with those friends, but the other party was not alone, and the time was always not together, so he couldn't come over for a long time.

Zhou Jie told Zhao Chunming that if he had the intention, his friends over there would form a bureau together and wait for Zhao Chunming's delegation to pass, and then hinted that Zhao Chunming could get a lot of benefits by doing so.

Zhao Chunming was very moved after listening to it, and put aside the benefit fee first, he is not short of money now, but as a soil bun who is not short of money, he has long wanted to go to those places in the south, but because he is a leader because of his size, he has never had a chance, if he can this time, he can take this opportunity to go to the south for a good walk.

After listening to Zhou Jie's words, he hung up the phone to Bai Liang in the province on the spot, he was brought out by Bai Liang, in Bai Liang's words, it was Zhao Chunming's ass that he knew what Zhao Chunming was going to fart. So there's no need to hide it. Say what you really think.

Bai Liang thought about it for a while, and felt that this was okay, but the only warning was that he must come back with some results, otherwise he would not be able to explain himself.

Zhao Chunming was much more relieved after hearing this, and finalized the plan with Zhou Jie on the spot to go south to GD before the year.

Zhao Chunming wrote the application and handed it to the city on the same day, Bai Liang had already greeted the city, so the approval was also very fast, and the city attached great importance to Zhao Chunming's trip, and the city leaders generally did some preliminary publicity for him as a political achievement.

Thinking about it now, Zhao Chunming at that time can be described as a spring breeze! But who would have thought that it was this GD trip that completely made Zhao Chunming fall into a trough and fall into a place of no return!

When the Chinese New Year was approaching last year, Zhao Chunming finally traveled, because this time the city had already publicized him, so he was embarrassed to make a big fuss, but drove lightly, and did not bring many personnel, just brought a deputy director in charge of the economy in the district, plus Zhou Jie, three people.

As for his belongings, he didn't take anything, it was really a bank card in hand, and I had the momentum in the world.

It is said that China has a vast land and abundant resources, and the difference between the north and the south is very large. Although it is a cold winter weather in the north, it is still warm as spring in the south.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhao Chunming felt that he had really become a bun, and before he got on the plane, he was still wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside! As soon as he got off the plane, he felt a heat wave coming, which made him a little overwhelmed.

Sure enough, as Zhou Jie said, as soon as he got out of the airport, he saw a row of eye-catching banners -- warmly welcome Secretary Zhao Chunming and his entourage to visit the company! Then the gongs and drums beat noisily.

Zhao Chunming had never seen this posture, but he was still hot and sweating profusely at this time, and he was not in the mood to enjoy this moment, so he was surrounded by everyone and went to the place where he settled first, this time staying in a local five-star hotel, which was also deliberately arranged for him by local investors.

As soon as Zhao Chunming arrived at the hotel, he first stripped off his essence and ran to the bathroom to take a shower, feeling extremely happy in his body and mind for a while.

When he came out of the bathroom, he saw a group of well-dressed "investors" waiting for him.

Zhou Jie introduced Zhao Chunming one by one, judging from the name alone, all of them are all kinds of local business figures, this is not what makes Zhao Chunming the happiest, the happiest thing is the respectful attitude of this group of people towards him, although he can't accept it somewhat, but he enjoys it very much.

One of them, Zhou Jie, focused on it, and heard Zhou Jie say that he is the organizer of this bureau, and he is in his forties, not tall, but he is a little bowed, and he is very elegantly dressed. I saw that this person's face was smooth, which was in stark contrast to a northern man like Zhao Chunming.

learned from Zhou Jie's mouth that this person's surname is Ji and his name is Ji Ye. He is the chairman of a well-known local real estate developer and has a high reputation in the local area.

I saw Ji Ye holding Zhao Chunming's hands tightly and saying in Mandarin that he was not very proficient in: "Secretary Zhao, we have been looking forward to you for a long time, and on behalf of the businessmen of GD, I welcome you to attract investment." ”

Zhao Chunming's Mandarin is not very standard, but compared with Ji Ye, he is much more authentic, just listen to him: "Mr. Ji, I also look forward to this moment, I hope we can cooperate happily." ”

Then, Zhao Chunming exchanged a few words with everyone one by one, and Zhou Jie, who was standing on the side, saw that the ceremony was finally completed, and said to Ji Ye: "Mr. Ji, Secretary Zhao is an open-minded person and very approachable, I think you will definitely become good friends." ”

As he spoke, he looked at his watch again and said, "That's it, it's not too early, why don't we eat first?"

Ji Ye smiled and said: "Okay, good, I know that Secretary Zhao has a bright future as soon as I look at his face, and I have to thank you more for making friends with such a nobleman, brother, let's eat first, and then catch up after eating?"

Zhou Jie turned his head and said, "Secretary Zhao, do you think we should eat first?"

Zhao Chunming was indeed a little hungry, and said with a smile: "I listen to you." ”

Seeing that Zhao Chunming was so easy-going, everyone smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Ji Ye said: "Then in that case, let's eat first." He beckoned to everyone and said, "Let's go out first, let Secretary Zhao get dressed first, let's go outside and wait." Then they opened the door and prepared to go out.

Zhao Chunming said with a smile: "It's all big men, what are you afraid of! I'm still shy? Haha." ”

But having said that, the process of dressing made it difficult for him, he knew before he came that GD was not as good as the north, and he had to take some thin clothes, but he didn't expect GD to be so hot, the temperature was nearly thirty degrees, he thought about it and felt that even the most refreshing clothes were enough to make him sweat profusely.

When everyone saw Zhao Chunming open the box and rummage through just looking for clothes, they immediately understood.

At this time, Ji Ye revealed the inherent shrewdness of southerners, he didn't ask Zhao Chunming what he meant, and directly pointed to the person next to him: "You go to the store next to you and buy two clothes for Secretary Zhao that fit a little better, just buy them according to your size." ”

Everyone saw that the figure chosen by Ji Ye was really similar to Zhao Chunming.

I only heard Zhao Chunming blushing and said: "Then how embarrassing, I'll buy it myself in a while, let's eat first." As he spoke, he picked up a random piece of clothing to wear.

Ji Ye hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hey, Secretary Zhao, I'm a guest from afar, and besides, if you see me like this, you don't treat me Ji Ye as a friend." ”

Zhao Chunming saw that the man had already gone out, and coupled with the obstruction of this group of people, he had no choice but to sit down.

After a while, I saw the man running back sweating profusely, and I saw that he was holding several bags in his hands, putting his clothes on the bed one by one, and he didn't leave a single one from the inside out.

This embarrassing scene finally passed, and Zhao Chunming went to eat in the crowd of everyone, and the location was also close, in a high-end restaurant not far away.

Zhao Chunming has also been in the political circle for more than ten years, not to mention anything else, in terms of the amount of alcohol alone, he is also a good hand, I saw that he did not refuse, and after a while, he was dizzy and drunk.

It's bound to be nothing to talk about today, and after the meal, Yoshiba proposed to take a look at the local characteristics.

Zhao Chunming was drunk at this time, and he didn't care about it, and said, "Okay, good! Today, President Ji's arrangement, I just have to be obedient!"

The deputy director who went with him also drank a lot, but he was still sober and knew what the characteristics of Ji Ye were referring to, and he had not been presumptuous to that extent, so he said that he had drunk too much and had to go back to the room to rest first.

Zhao Chunming wished he did this, and after a while, Zhao Chunming was surrounded by everyone and walked to the next project.

Zhao Chunming was so drunk that night that he had already forgotten what he had done, and when he woke up the next day, he saw himself lying on the bed with his arms left and right, which made Zhao Chunming startled.

Originally, he was just greedy for money and was not interested in any of this, which was why Bai Liang had always trusted him, but this time he obviously broke his vows, and when he realized this problem, he really had a faint uneasiness in his heart.

But after all, Zhao Chunming is a high-ranking party official of the development industry, and he has seen a lot of the world, and he is unwilling to show his timidity, so he calmed down and sent those girls away.

Zhao Chunming was lying on the bed, looking at the backs of the girls leaving, and couldn't help sighing: Alas...... I finally broke the vow once, but I was ruined by the wine, and he didn't remember what he did last night!

Zhou Jie called him at noon that day, asked him if he got up, and jokingly said, "Secretary Zhao, did you have fun last night?"

Zhao Chunming said "um" and didn't speak again, he didn't want others to talk about it again at the moment.

Zhao Chunming told Zhou Jie that he was ready and could start working in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jie said: "Oh, Secretary Zhao, this matter is not in a hurry, something happened over there, Mr. Ji's plane left this morning, and he will come back the day after tomorrow, or let's wait?"

This made Zhao Chunming unexpected, but things were already like this, so he had to say: "Okay, then wait for two days, but it's just two days, it's hard to explain after a long time." He emphasized.

Zhou Jie said: "Okay, okay, I'll call Mr. Ji to come back as soon as possible, you get up first, let's go out for a walk in a while, finally come to our south once, I have to do my best to be a landlord." With that, the two hung up the phone.

People's attitude towards desire is like this, once released, it is like water, and it is difficult to take it back!

In this way, Zhao Chunming settled down with the deputy director of his peers, and went out with Zhou Jie, but he didn't expect that this time he went out, and his heart would be difficult to take back.
