Chapter 152: No One Left Here
"Come to me for shelter? If you were alone, I would have paid you the 30 million bribe, just ......" Nishino looked up and saw Li Yu under the coconut tree, wearing a red sun hat and sunglasses covering his eyes.
"Professor, shouldn't I bring her here?" Tulong suddenly realized something, and it seemed that the woman he brought was the vice president, which made Nishino very unhappy.
"Brother, I didn't mean that, but where are the bribes you collected now?"
"Alas, in a moment of thought, I threw all of them into Burma to open mines. There was a war there, the rebels occupied the mining area in which I had invested, declared them ownership of the land, confiscated the mines, and I wanted to cry without tears. β
"Tulong, your courage is getting bigger and bigger. The situation in Myanmar is unstable, you don't know it, right? β
"It's speculation. I wanted to resell the mine and get out in time, but where would I have expected that the Burmese government army would be vulnerable? β
"Hu Yumin didn't work as a temporary worker in a township government, how did he become a real estate developer, and he went to the Central Plains to register a construction company?"
"He was not admitted to the official civil service, there was nothing to do, Yang Wenyan's uncle, Zhou Guoli, the secretary of our city, gave him some projects to make a fortune, so he went to the Central Plains to contract projects. At that time, I was also opposed to contracting the resettlement housing project to him......" Tulong helped his glasses.
"Old classmate, I didn't say you, you didn't ask me about such a big thing?" Nishino pulled Tulong into the car, turned on the air conditioner in the car, and handed him a bottle of herbal tea, "You plan to immigrate to Cuba, so you don't care about Xu Xiaoqiao?" β
Maybe Tulong was too thirsty, so he drank the herbal tea in one go: "Alas, Xu Xiaoqiao and I secretly went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures, and I left ......"
"Huh? Are you divorced? Nishino was stunned, "It can't be because of Li Yu, right?" β
"Not exactly. Something happened to the immigration project, in order not to add trouble to the family...... And Xu Xiaoqiao already knows about my relationship with Li Yu. Tulong replied.
"I don't understand you, why a happy and beautiful family is broken up like this."
"Brother, I'm forced to do it."
"Back then, I warned you to be careful in officialdom, not to serve the renminbi, and not to make money. You always confess, how much gray income have you made as the director of the National Development and Reform Commission over the years? β
"This ......"
"Say, you're scared, aren't you?"
"I ...... I ......"
"What am I? When you reach out for money, you are so brave and calm, why do you stutter today? β
"Brother, I took this sum of 30 million and gave Li Yu 10 million."
"If you don't tell the truth, I can't help you."
"Nishino, that's really all I did." Tulong raised his hand, ready to swear to the sky.
"Swear to me for a fart? The Commission for Discipline Inspection will let you tell the truth...... I'll take you to the procuratorate right now to turn yourself in......" Nishino hung up the gear and lowered the handbrake.
"Stop, stopβI said it can't be done yet?" Tulong panicked and quickly pulled up the handbrake.
Unexpectedly, this trick was really good, Nishino secretly thought to himself, if Tulong was sent to the procuratorate like this, it was likely that Tulong would stay in prison for ten or eight years, and he would trap Tulong in injustice. But he couldn't think of any good way to fight for Tulong's sins.
Tulong rubbed his hands together and began to explain his experience of making a lot of money.
When he was the director of the office in the Organization Department, Tulong was almost punished for signing a 3,000 yuan order for Xiye at the Yintan Restaurant, but fortunately, Zhou Guoli, the head of the Organization Department, came forward to settle the situation. Since then, Tulong no longer dares to sign orders at will, and even cancels many important dinners. owes Minister Zhou Guoli that love, Tulong has always kept it in mind and wants to find an opportunity to reciprocate.
Coincidentally, three years later, the Organization Department squatted in a cold area of S City for poverty alleviation with a cycle of three years. Zhou Guoli and Tulong took a shuttle bus to the seat of the township's government office, and then rented a motorcycle to go to a very remote village, Heishi Village, where the motorbike driver took them to the entrance of the village and left.
The village was so closed that there was no mobile phone signal, no roads or electricity, and it was difficult for the people to drink water. Zhou Guoli saw that the life of the people was too hard, and he was determined to realize the "three links" here and build the first alpine pollution-free vegetable base in S City.
After drinking the spring water in the mountains, Zhou Guoli had a stomach upset that night, and then had a high fever, and his whole body kept shaking. He borrowed a board car and a miner's lamp from a villager's house, put Zhou Guoli on the board car, and pushed Zhou Guoli alone, walking thirty or forty mountain roads before arriving at the township hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, Tulong was soaked, and the doctors were all moved by his spirit, and quickly diagnosed Zhou Guoli, and soon the diagnosis came out, it was malaria caused by acute gastroenteritis, and if he came half an hour late, Zhou Guoli would die of dehydration. After active treatment by doctors, Zhou Guoli was out of danger. As a result, Tulong paid off Zhou Guoli's favor.
After recovering from the illness, Zhou Guoli was stationed in Heishi Village for almost a year, and the poverty alleviation was quite effective, the "three links" were realized ahead of schedule, and the pollution-free vegetable base was also built. Before leaving, the local people beat gongs and drums to send off Zhou Guoli and Tulong, and sent them a full ten miles away.
An old lady in her 80s held Zhou Guoli's hand tightly and said, "Minister Zhou, when can you come to Black Stone Village again?" β
The high-spirited Zhou Guoli said without thinking about it: "The tourism resources in the village are very rich, the folk culture is very distinctive, I still have an unfulfilled wish, I want to build Black Stone Village into a 4A tourist attraction in our city..... and when I do it as the secretary of the municipal party committee, I will come back." β
"When will Minister Zhou become the secretary of the municipal party committee?" The old lady asked.
"It's coming, it's coming." Zhou Guoli told the eldest lady loudly that Zhou Guoli had received an order from the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee to go to the Municipal Economic and Trade Bureau to be the director.
"Minister Zhou, I have lived to be more than 80 years old, and you are the first good official I have ever met to do solid things for the people. Auntie, I haven't read a book, so I'll send you a few words - no matter how old you are, you must keep the people in your heart; Wherever you go, don't forget your roots. There are rods and scales in the hearts of the people, and they know who is light and who is the center of gravity. After the old lady finished speaking, she took out two peace charms from her clothes, one for Zhou Guoli and one for Tulong.
It is precisely because of the blessing of this peace charm that Zhou Guoli has been smooth in the officialdom, soaring, from the county organization minister to the director of the municipal economic and trade bureau, and then to the position of deputy mayor, and then to the position of deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. In the summer of this year, the provincial party committee has drawn up a candidate for Zhou Guoli to be the deputy director of the provincial people's congress, and Tulong, who is under the shadow of Zhou Guoli, is about to be transferred to the party secretary of an economic development zone in the provincial capital.
If it weren't for Hu Yumin's fraud case, no one would have known about Tulong's bad deeds of repeatedly soliciting projects for people and recovering deductions from them. Ten days before Tulong's escape, a bridge across the river with an investment of 50 million yuan in the Montenegro area collapsed, and the contractor of the bridge sent black money to Tulong, and the quality of the bridge project was not up to standard, and it also successfully passed the acceptance.
After listening to Tu Long's narration, Nishino couldn't help but shake his head: "Director Tu, you have really changed, and I don't know you anymore." Fortunately, I didn't win the spring water investment project in Montenegro, or you would have to extort me again. β
"Brother, I'm not blackmailing, the contractor gave me all the money voluntarily." Tulong quibbled.
"They gave it voluntarily, and you took it voluntarily, didn't you?"
"How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? If you were to see that bundle of banknotes, you would be thrilled. β
"Don't excuse yourself, how much black money did you get?"
"I haven't counted it specifically, all of them add up, it's not much, about two or three hundred million, right?"
"Faint to death, two or three hundred million is not much? How much do you get a year? β
"Yes, it's just tens of thousands a year. I can't remember how much my boss sent? β
"You still bribe the leader? There is a kind of, thick black learning, you have learned home, left and right, very good. β
"Brother, do you think that if I sit in the position of director of the National Development and Reform Commission, I will do it once and for all? If I don't move around, my director will be out of class a long time ago. β
"I don't want to listen to your crookedness. You brought Li Yu here here, which embarrassed me a little...... Otherwise, you will live here on Cheung Chau Island, and when I get you a passport, you and Li Yu will go to Kiribati immediately. β
"But we want to go to the Caribbean." There seems to be something unspeakable about Tulong.
"Kiribati and China do not have diplomatic relations, so it's safer to go there."
"Where's Kiribati, brother?"
"Kiribati is located in the west-central Pacific Ocean, the most remote place on Earth, the first place on Earth to welcome the sunrise, and the only country in the world that straddles the northern and southern hemispheres and the eastern and western hemispheres. Kiribati is a land far from modern civilization, with its turquoise calm waters, golden soft sandy beaches, and dense palm forests along its shores. β
"Oh, I heard Li Yu mention it once, it's a very good resort. What is the material standard of living there? β
"As far as I know, the inhabitants of Kiribati live a simple life. There are no roads, no traffic lights, no supermarkets and no television stations, only more than a human being of coconut trees, a number of cars and a few small shops selling canned food. Local residents live in shacks made of palm leaves. Every three months, a shipment of flour and rice is delivered to the island for the inhabitants to eat. Each village has a tall building with a palm leaf roof, and when the temperature reaches around 35Β°C, residents can go in and cool off. In the evening, one can enjoy some imported blockbusters inside. β
"It's so backward, I still don't go, otherwise I'll collapse. It's better to go to the Caribbean. β
"So, you're determined to go to Cuba?"
"Hmm. I bought a few villas on Isla de la Juventud, one of which is fully renovated and you can move in with your bag, and the Cubans have a good impression of the Chinese. β
The two talked for a long time, and Li Yu, who was not far away, was a little impatient waiting, she walked over to Xiye's side and knocked on the car window with her hand: "Tulong, there is no one left here, let's go." β
