Although Xia Bingbing was not fully conscious, she still understood the meaning behind Fang Xin's words. She knew that Lu Tao was not only going to drink the rest of the wine for her, he was also going to get two million yuan for the county. She drunkenly patted Lu Tao's shoulder and said, "Lu Tao, thank... thank you. You're a real man, I respect you... "
Before she could finish speaking, her body went limp, and she was about to collapse again. Fortunately, Lu Tao reacted quickly and supported her. Together with Su Yetai, he helped her to sit properly on the chair...
Then, Lu Tao started toasting with Fang Xin. He drank one set, and the others drank one. He continued toasting and finished the remaining nine sets of wine in less than ten minutes...
After returning to the hotel, Lu Tao helped Cai Zhangming and the others settle the drunk Xia Bingbing down. After returning to his room, he took a hot shower and drank a bottle of mineral water. After lying in bed for about half an hour, he was more or less sober. He turned on the TV and started watching the evening news.
After watching for a few minutes, his phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Secretary Zhou. "Little Lu, you're not drunk, right? Where are you now? "
"Hello, Secretary Zhou. I drank a little too much tonight and was a little tipsy at first. But after taking a hot shower, drinking a bottle of mineral water, and resting in bed for half an hour, I'm more or less sober now. What about you? Haven't you rested yet? "
"No, I just came back from... Not long after I left home, I received a call from Deputy Director Wei of the Provincial Public Security Bureau. He found out that I was in the provincial capital and would be rushing back to Songshan early tomorrow morning. He invited me to eat fish hotpot at the Fish Pleasure Village Restaurant on Nanjiang East Road. This Deputy Director Wei is called Wei Gangqiang. He was also a soldier under me and your father. He was one of the two soldiers who went with me to steal sugarcane and was ambushed by the enemy. In fact, he was saved by your father from the grim reaper.
"Wei Gangqiang told me many times that the person he admired and was most grateful to in his life was your father. Unfortunately, he couldn't contact him anymore. I haven't told him about your family's situation yet, and he doesn't know that your father has passed away. Why don't you take a taxi to the Fish Pleasure Village Restaurant? I'm almost there. Just give me a call when you get there. "
Lu Tao didn't expect his father to have so many high-ranking officers as his comrades and subordinates. He was stunned for a while before he said "okay" to Zhou Yihong and quickly got up to get dressed …
Not long after Zhou Yihong hung up the phone with Lu Tao, the car arrived at the "Fish Delight Village Restaurant" on Nanjiang East Road. Wei Gangqiang was already waiting at the entrance of the restaurant, rubbing his palms and looking around anxiously. When he saw Zhou Yihong get out of the car, his eyes lit up and he immediately walked over to Zhou Yihong. He held Zhou Yihong's hand tightly and said, "Hello, Old Chief, I'm really sorry to disturb you at this time! It's just that this matter is too urgent, and I have no choice but to ask you for help. When I was in the army, it was you who trained and promoted me. Now that I've encountered a crisis in my life, the first person I thought of was still you. "
Wei Gangqiang wasn't exaggerating at all. After the border war, he had been by Zhou Yihong's side. With Zhou Yihong's help, he first joined the Party and was promoted. Then he went to the Military Academy to further his studies. When he returned, he started as a platoon leader. As Zhou Yihong's position in the army got higher and higher, he was promoted all the way until he was promoted to regimental commander. With Zhou Yihong's help, he was transferred to the Public Security Department of Nanjiang Province.
Because Zhou Yihong was very appreciated by Governor Qin, Wei Gangqiang's promotion in the Public Security Department was relatively smooth. It took him less than ten years to become the deputy director …
Zhou Yihong only knew that something had happened to Wei Gangqiang recently, but he didn't know what it was. Seeing people coming and going at the entrance of the restaurant, he said to Wei Gangqiang, "Xiao Wei, let's talk in the private room."
Then, he told the driver to wait for him in the car and followed Wei Gangqiang into a small private room.
After the waiter made tea, Wei Gangqiang ordered a male fish hotpot and a few cold dishes, then asked the waiter to leave first.
Zhou Yihong asked, "Xiao Wei, what kind of trouble did you encounter? Can you tell me about it? "
Wei Gangqiang sighed and said, "Old Chief, if I can't get through this, not only will I lose my position and lose my reputation, I'm afraid I'll also be imprisoned!"
Then, he briefly explained the whole story to Zhou Yihong.
It turned out that Wei Gangqiang's wife was a local of the provincial capital. His brother-in-law was the deputy director in charge of the city construction in Yuehu District of Shaxing City. His name was Cao Jun. A week ago, Cao Jun was suddenly put under investigation by Shaxing City's Commission for Discipline Inspection and was currently under investigation.
After Wei Gangqiang found out that Cao Jun was put under investigation, although he was very shocked, he didn't connect it to himself. This was because he had some opinions about this brother-in-law. He felt that he was too greedy and had no principles and bottom line. Because of this, he had advised him many times to be self-disciplined, but Cao Jun didn't listen. Instead, he blamed his brother-in-law for being meddlesome. When Wei Gangqiang saw that he didn't listen to his advice, he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he didn't say these words to him anymore.
Unexpectedly, just a few days ago, he suddenly found that his wife had been suffering from insomnia all night. Sometimes, when she finally fell asleep, she would suddenly scream and wake up sweating profusely. Then, she would hug him and cry, her body trembling.
Under Wei Gangqiang's repeated questioning, his wife finally told him the truth. It turned out that two of her female colleagues' husbands both opened companies and did projects. Under the two female colleagues' pleas, she introduced their husbands to her younger brother, Cao Jun, and did Cao Jun's work. She helped the two colleagues' husbands contract two relatively large municipal projects. In order to express their gratitude, the two bosses of the companies gave her five hundred thousand yuan as a "referral fee" through their wives.
Because she knew that Wei Gangqiang was a very principled and strict person, after his wife received the money, she didn't dare to tell him. Instead, she secretly saved it. It wasn't until Cao Jun was exposed that she felt that this was a big problem. Not only could she go to jail, but she could also affect her husband's future and career. Because of this, she was so scared that she couldn't sleep at night. She didn't dare to tell her husband. Finally, under his interrogation, she told him the truth …
Zhou Yihong quickly asked, "Xiao Wei, after you found out about this, how did you deal with it?"
