Chinese Painting 79

Xiangmei was very nervous and said, "I'm not at home these days, and I haven't had a chance to say a few words to you." I've heard a lot of rumors about Mayor Pi's eldest son outside. said that he ran abroad with hundreds of millions of public funds, I don't know if it's true? ”

Zhu Huaijing didn't answer directly, but said: "It's not that simple, it's all playing tricks on the mayor." Whatever you say, just listen to it, and don't talk about it with others. After all, your identity is different. ”

Seeing that Xiangmei was too scared, Zhu Huaijing was a little unbearable. He comforted her a few words, and said that he would go to Mayor Pi's house to have a look. When Zhu Huaijing went out, Xiangmei stood at the door, looking at Zhu Huaijing's back, and did not close the door for a long time. Her eyes were filled with fear and apprehension, like the wife of a revolutionary who knew that her husband was going to engage in a noble and dangerous business.

Aunt Wang opened the door and smiled politely. There was only a dim wall lamp in the living room, and Mayor Pi was not to be seen. Aunt Wang closed the door and covered it with her mouth. Zhu Huaijing understood that Mayor Pi was alone in the study. Aunt Wang took Zhu Huaijing to the outside of the study, knocked on the door, and told, "Lao Pi, Huaijing is here." ”

Mayor Pi leaned back in his leather chair and smoked a cigarette. Zhu Huaijing immediately became nervous and realized that something serious might have happened, because Mayor Pi had already quit smoking. Mayor Pi motioned for him to sit down. I heard Aunt Wang answering the phone outside and saying, "Lao Pi is not at home and has not come back yet." Zhu Huaijing knew that Aunt Wang had rejected all the other visitors, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of ** rising in his heart. Death for a confidant!

"Huaijing, you've come just in time. Now it's becoming more and more obvious that someone is pointing the finger at me. Mayor Pi looked at Zhu Huaijing, as if he was the one who pointed the finger at Mayor Pi. Zhu Huaijing saw the majesty of Mayor Pi for the first time. Unexpectedly, the words he said to Xiangmei out of nothing at home came true so quickly. He deliberately told Xiangmei that what might happen would be a power struggle, just for fear that his affair with Yuqin would come out, so that Xiangmei could not figure out whether it was true or not. He set up the Ecstasy Array for Xiangmei early.

After all, Mayor Pi hadn't smoked for a long time, and after smoking for a while, he coughed badly. Aunt Wang heard this, pushed open the door, looked at her husband with a painful heart, and stood silently. Mayor Pi raised his hand, Aunt Wang sighed lightly, closed the door and went out.

"Mayor Pi, relax your heart. As the saying goes, the bridge returns to the bridge, and the road returns to the road. Pijer's business is Pijie's business, let them find out. To put it mildly, the children of leading cadres are not the only ones who do business. Compared to the children of the bigger high-ranking officials, what is Pidger's point? See the big thing! Besides, Piger doesn't know where he is now, and they check it for nothing. Zhu Huaijing comforted.

Mayor Pi looked very angry and said, "Some people say that Longxing bought Tianma Entertainment City, and I Pi Deqiu manipulated it!" ”

Zhu Huaijing showed righteous indignation, "How can you say that? I know this best. These people have to seek truth from facts! ”

Mayor Pi smiled slightly and said, "I guess someone will come to you to ask about the situation." Lei Fuchen said in it that you had found him, specifically to talk about Longxing's purchase of Tianma Entertainment City, and said that you were there to convey my meaning. ”

Zhu Huaijing looked very angry, "How can Lei Fuchen say that?" I talked about it occasionally when I was chatting with him. Isn't that illegal? When Piger was also playing with me, he casually said that he wanted to sell the entertainment city to the Longxing Hotel. Isn't that illegal? In the end, this is just a business deal, and it was negotiated between the two of them. Even if Pije doesn't have your special background, the deal has to be done. The price is reasonable and unreasonable, and it has nothing to do with others, it is all negotiated by both of them. Don't worry, Mayor Pi, whoever comes to me, I say the same. ”

"Huaijing, I'm relieved of you." Mayor Pi nodded with satisfaction, as if he suddenly remembered something, "How about Pei Danian and Yuan Xiaoqi?" ”

Mayor Pi's two sentences before and after sounded like there was no connection, but Zhu Huaijing understood it. That means that you Zhu Huaijing is at ease, but not Pei Danian and Yuan Xiaoqi, and at the same time hints that Zhu Huaijing is doing some work in the middle. Although Zhu Huaijing understood Mayor Pi's will, it was inconvenient for him to talk to the two of them. This is equivalent to breaking Mayor Pi's worries, as if he knows that there is something unclear between Mayor Pi and Pei Yuan. He groaned slightly, and then said as if he was fine: "Pei Danian has asked me many times and said that he wants to invite me to a cup of tea." Today he made another appointment with me, I said I was not available today, and promised him tomorrow night. Yuan Xiaoqi hasn't been back to Jingdu for some days. His branch manager in Jingdu, Huang Dahong, is my old subordinate and fellow countryman, and he respects me very much. Yuan Xiaoqi trusts this surnamed Huang very much. Zhu Huaijing's words were inconsequential, but he believed that Mayor Pi could understand. Mayor Pi really understood, glanced at Zhu Huaijing meaningfully, and handed over a cigarette.

"Huaijing, General Manager Mei didn't say much inside, and he didn't say that you had looked for her. She is a heroine among women, and she does her own things. A good comrade, called Pijie harmed, it's a pity. Mayor Pi was very sorry.

Zhu Huaijing looked at Mayor Pi's eyes, as if he knew his relationship with Yuqin, he was a little embarrassed in his heart, and it was inconvenient to say more, so he said: "This person is indeed good." ”

"Huaijing, for a period of time in the future, if I don't call you here, you won't come to me." Mayor Pi said.

Zhu Huaijing understood and said vaguely: "I'll pay attention outside." ”

Coming out of Mayor Pi's house, Zhu Huaijing did not go home and went to the Ginkgo Garden Hotel. Seeing that it was still early, I called Pei Danian and asked him to come. Pei Danian said okay, come over immediately. He has always been respectful to Zhu Huaijing, not to mention now, Zhu Huaijing is already the deputy director of the Finance Bureau. Zhu Huaijing told him not to bring anyone and to drive by himself. Pei Danian heard that something might be important, so he hurriedly added: "It's going to be there in twenty minutes." ”

Twenty minutes, Zhu Huaijing spent pacing. His mind was very messy, and he had to think about how to talk to Pei Danian. He wanted to find Pei Danian, saying that it was for Mayor Pi, but it was better for himself. Pei Danian is usually generous, but the problem is that his mouth is not tight, and he likes to brag outside, saying that he has a good relationship with which leader. Everyone now understands what it means for a rich person to have a good relationship with someone in power. Zhu Huaijing thought about it, thinking about it, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to talk to Pei Danian in a roundabout way. The situation is very serious, so I have to talk straight to the point. Let's just say Mayor Pi, although he is still subtle today, he is much more direct than usual. Mature politicians never open their hearts, and no one else knows what is really going on in their hearts. Today's Mayor Pi is not immature, of course, but things have reached the point where he can no longer play the art of leadership. But no matter what, just like the temperament of a great artist, no matter how direct Mayor Pi is, he is still much more subtle than ordinary people. Art is usually subtle, like smoke slowly coming out of Mayor Pi's mouth.

Pei Danian knocked on the door and came in and said hello to Zhu Huaijing. Zhu Huaijing politely shook his hand and poured tea for him. "I'm sorry it's so late, and I'm going to take you on a trip." Zhu Huaijing stilted Erlang's legs and maintained the necessary reserve.

"Say where it went. There is no matter of urgency, Director Zhu will not tell me casually. Pei Danian's inquiring gaze wandered on Zhu Huaijing's face.

Zhu Huaijing felt that Pei Danian's gaze was crawling around his face like a mosquito, not a taste. For the first time, he noticed the cunning of the merchant in Pei Danian's gaze, and the impression that this benevolent brother usually gave him was always somewhat dull, almost making him wonder how such a person could have a lot of money. But this feeling was fleeting, and Pei Danian immediately sat in front of him with a stupid look. Maybe I'm too sensitive today, Zhu Huaijing thought. He didn't speak for a long time, and Pei Danian was a little restrained, looking at him and smiling innocently. Zhu Huaijing also smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing specific. I want to ask you, have you heard people talking about Mayor Pi's family recently? ”

Pei Danian obviously didn't expect Zhu Huaijing to ask this, and he couldn't guess his intentions, so he took a while before he said cautiously: "This...... This one...... I didn't believe what I heard. Some people say that Piger went abroad and took a lot of money with him. I heard it strange and called Piger's phone and it stopped. Later, I inquired with a friend and found out that he had really gone abroad. I think it's very common for the children of high-ranking cadres to go abroad, Director Zhu, don't you say? ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "What you heard is true. The problem is that someone is playing tricks in the middle and wants to play the mayor's idea. Mayor Pi is kind to you and me, don't you say? However, I know that there are a few people who have received a lot of benefits from Mayor Pi, and now they are helping others to speak ill of Mayor Pi. ”

Pei Danian hurriedly said: "This kind of person is too hateful. What is the most precious thing in life? Isn't it just a feeling? ”

Zhu Huaijing praised it: "Yes, yes, Boss Bei is right." Some people only know how to see the wind and make the rudder. I don't want to think about it, life is not a day or two, but decades. Who knows who when they are popular today, they will not be unlucky tomorrow? Who knows who will be unlucky tomorrow when it's dark today? ”

Pei Danian nodded and said: "Yes, as the saying goes, flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not prosperous." He also said that only when the three poor and the three rich are old, and only after the three ups and downs can they get it. Who can insure themselves of a smooth sail for the rest of their lives? I hate those who hold the red butt when they see it, and step on it when they see the black buttocks. ”

Zhu Huaijing said with a smile: "Boss Bei is right. Besides, who can bring down a person with the status of Mayor Pi if he wants to? The tiger is still a hero! What's more, Mayor Pi is far from the point where he has to clean up the mess. I'll tell you a story, it's true. When I was the deputy county magistrate of Wuxian County, I had a construction Baotou and made a lot of money. But for one thing, he broke himself. One year, he contracted the inpatient building of the county people's hospital and made a lot of money. Later, someone reported that the director of the health bureau and the director of the People's Hospital had accepted bribes from him and asked him to go to the procuratorate for questioning. He couldn't resist the procuratorate's offensive, so he recruited the matter of sending money to the director of the health bureau and the director of the people's hospital. As a result, both the health chief and the hospital director were sentenced. In this way, who would dare to contract the project to him? Since then, he has never been able to get a project again. Not long after, the procuratorate arrested the baotou on charges of tax evasion and sentenced him to seven years in prison. ”

Pei Danian snorted, expressing his disdain for this Baotou, "This kind of person is too bad at playing." That's the biggest foul! If I were to do something like this, I wouldn't say anything even if the knife was on my neck. What's in it for that? I hurt my friends, but I also hurt myself. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Huaijing knew that he had achieved his goal, and he didn't need to explain anything to him clearly. He avoided this topic and only talked with Pei Danian, making the two of them like brothers. Pei Danian wished that such a young deputy director with a prosperous official fortune would be so close to him, and he was very happy. The two talked late, and when Pei Danian was leaving, he said that he would go to see Mayor Pi tomorrow. Zhu Huaijing told him not to go to this section, as long as he was looking towards Mayor Pi in his heart. Pei Danian nodded.

Zhu Huaijing wanted to make an appointment to meet Huang Dahong again tomorrow, and asked him to make a special trip south in the near future to infiltrate Mayor Pi's meaning to Yuan Xiaoqi. As long as he skillfully knows the benefits and disadvantages, Huang Dahong will gladly do so. In fact, Zhu Huaijing is not worried about Yuan Xiaoqi, because he knows his way well. Although Zhu Huaijing doesn't know what Mayor Pi is worried about Yuan Xiaoqi, with Yuan Xiaoqi's current identity, I believe he will not easily let himself play an embarrassing role. No one wants to be associated with the news of officialdom corruption, let alone Yuan Xiaoqi? He wanted to ask Huang Dahong to go south, just to let Yuan Xiaoqi have a number in his heart.

Zhu Huaijing didn't bother to take a bath and went to bed. The night was deep, he didn't feel sleepy, and Yuqin's eyes that were deeply sunken always looked at him sadly in the dark. Even when he made an appointment with Pei Danian, he was always thinking about Yuqin in his heart. I don't know what happened to Yuqin in the bars. Is she getting thinner? Was she thinking about him too? What a wretched woman! Thinking of Yuqin's good behavior on weekdays, Zhu Huaijing couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zhu Huaijing worries every day that people from the procuratorate will come to him, and his life is trembling. People are thinner day by day. He was miserable and panicked inside, but he had to hold on to it outside. Most of them live in ginkgo orchards and take two or three baths a day. He thought that bathing more would make people look more energetic. The hair was combed and mousse. I haven't taken Qin Gongchun for a long time, and now I take three sticks a day to refresh myself. When his subordinates saw that he had lost weight, they all said that he was getting better and better. Zhu Huaijing said that he insisted on playing tennis every day, and he would naturally lose weight. His subordinates admired his perseverance and said that he insisted on physical activities, which is the way of life of modern people.

Pi Jie, Lei Fuchen, and Yuqin have become hot topics in Jingdu recently. Their story, told by a hundred people, has a hundred versions. At first, the most popular story was the story of Piger, in which in addition to money, it was natural to add women, saying that his bed was specially made, seven feet long and one foot wide, and that he slept with two or three beautiful young ladies every night, and that it was fresh every night. After Yuqin's accident, she became the center of people's discussions. People are more interested in talking about beautiful women, and the stories are becoming more and more peachy. What Zhu Huaijing heard may be a full story, saying that Yuqin is beautiful and moving, and there is no man who can't lose his soul when he sees it. She is not married, and she has never talked about a boyfriend seriously, but she has never been less than a man in bed. He also said that there was a secretary of a city leader who looked like a talented person and was always messing around outside. Once, Yuqin met the secretary at a ball, and the two met late, and they rolled into a mess that night. Since then, Yuqin has used a lot of tickets to support this leading secretary, and she herself has received a lot of benefits from this secretary, and soon rose from a waiter to the position of general manager of the hotel. People describe Yuqin's identity before becoming the general manager as an ordinary waiter, which is probably in line with the psychology of ordinary people: they always think that this kind of beautiful woman was originally a shallow vase, and she will get ahead with a strong man. Zhu Huaijing was very resentful when he heard these words, but he didn't dare to explain half a word. Fortunately, the secretary in the story is not surnamed Zhu. In all the stories about Yuqin, the basic plot is that she had an affair with a leading secretary, but her surname changed frequently. Zhu Huaijing later heard this story many times on different occasions, but the secretary was surnamed Wang for a while and Zhang for a while. Once Zhu Huaijing had dinner with friends, someone at the wine table talked about the story of Yuqin. When it came to the surname of the leading secretary, they said that Director Zhu came out of the city, and he was familiar with the leader's secretary and had the most right to speak. Zhu Huaijing just smiled and said nothing. Some people joked that the secretary was a fellow of former South Korean President Park Chung-hee, surnamed Park (嫖). Zhu Huaijing listened to the cold sweat on his back, but he had no choice but to laugh.

The three cases have not come to fruition for a long time, but people are still enthusiastically spreading stories related to the cases, and the editions are being updated day by day. Economic cases are complex and cannot be concluded quickly. The important suspect Pijie still does not know where he is, and it seems that the three cases will not be resolved until they will be resolved. I heard that Lei Fuchen learned that Pi Jie had never been whereabouts, so he repeatedly retracted his confession, and the case became even more confusing. The three cases are a series of cases that are linked together, and no matter how frankly Yuqin confesses, it is impossible to close her case first. Zhu Huaijing suddenly found that he hadn't heard anyone tell Yuqin's story in front of him for a long time, and his heart secretly became nervous. He realized that perhaps more and more people already knew that the man who was on good terms with Yuqin was him, not the secretary of the leader.

Zhu Huaijing is really a little like a year. Just when he was honestly afraid, the procuratorate finally came to the door. However, because Zhu Huaijing is a deputy bureau-level leader after all, it is not easy for the procuratorate to ask him casually. Shortly after he got to work that afternoon, Deputy Procurator General Li of the Procuratorate politely called him and asked him if he could arrange a time to find out about Pi Jie, Lei Fuchen, and Mei Yuqin. Zhu Huaijing was shocked, but his tone was very calm, and he agreed, but he insisted on inviting the comrades from the procuratorate to come to the Finance Bureau, and he was busy with work at hand and couldn't leave. Deputy Procurator General Li said okay, I'll be here right away.

Putting down the phone, Zhu Huaijing's hand couldn't help but tremble a little. He realized that he was not in this state, so he paced around the office, trying to relax. If you think about it carefully, you have nothing to do with these three cases, so there is no need to be so nervous. Maybe because he has never dealt with the prosecutor's office in some special capacity, his heart is always pounding. He wanted to urinate and urinate in a hurry, and immediately he was in a panic, and his anus and back were swollen and painful. He went into the bathroom. The bureau leader's office of the Finance Bureau is equipped with toilets, which is more advanced than the mayor's office. After the office building of the Finance Bureau was repaired, someone inside filed a complaint, and the Secretary of the Finance Bureau was disciplined. Zhu Huaijing squatted in the toilet, wishing that he could drain everything in his body so that he could be as relaxed as a hydrogen balloon. He is very grateful to the former director who was punished, he really sacrificed him to facilitate future generations. When the poop is finished, wash your face with cold water again. He dipped his face in cold water and rubbed it with a towel until his cheeks turned red. After such a toss, Zhu Huaijing completely relaxed. He combed his hair in the mirror, dressed properly, took a deep breath, sank his dantian, and then calmly walked out of the toilet, sat at the desk, and took out a folder to review, looking like he was in a hurry.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhu Huaijing replied with great cultivation: "Please come in." ”

The door opened, and it happened to be Deputy Procurator General Li and two prosecutors. Zhu Huaijing closed the folder first, then stood up and shook hands with the three of them one by one, and said kind words. The three of them took their seats, and Zhu Huaijing picked up the phone, "Xiao Li, come here." "A young lady came in immediately, probably Xiao Li. Zhu Huaijing said: "Pour tea for the three guests. Xiao Li looked at the three of them and smiled enthusiastically, hurriedly poured the tea, and handed it over one by one. Zhu Huaijing could have poured tea by himself, but in order to ease the atmosphere, he also wanted to take a shelf, so he called Xiao Li over.

Deputy Procurator General Li introduced the two division chiefs who came with him, and got straight to the point, "I'm delaying your time, Director Zhu." Regarding the cases of Pi Jie, Lei Fuchen and Mei Yuqin, Director Zhu may have heard about it......"

Zhu Huaijing immediately smiled: "What I heard is all roadside news. Some people outside said that Pije fled with hundreds of millions of public funds, all of which were directly transferred from the Finance Bureau. It is rumored that the people are saying that the court is taken for granted and absurd. I don't know the specifics. ”

Deputy Procurator General Li also smiled and said: "There are a lot of rumors from the outside world now, which shows that the masses are very concerned about these cases. The leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal party committee also chased after them closely. Therefore, our procuratorate feels a lot of pressure, and we ask Director Zhu to support it more. ”

Zhu Huaijing asked, "I don't know how I can help?" ”
