Wu Zhongqi was overjoyed when Wei Gangqiang offered to accompany him to the army to look for Du Junjian. He stood up excitedly and toasted him with a glass of fruit juice, thanking him profusely.
Lu Tao witnessed the change in Wu Zhongqi's attitude towards Wei Gangqiang with his own eyes. In the beginning, Wu Zhongqi was cold and aloof, giving off the feeling of "keeping people at arm's length", which made Wei Gangqiang feel a little awkward. However, when he found out that Wei Gangqiang could help his son obtain the right to be recommended for military school, his attitude immediately changed. From aloof to passionate, from reserved to respectful, from guarded to intimate …
From this, Lu Tao understood the true meaning of interpersonal relationships. If a person wanted to gain the respect of others, he or she must first become strong and become a "useful person". To put it bluntly, the so-called "useful person" was someone who was useful to others. For example, if you had power and money, people around you would respect you because your "power" and "money" had potential value to them. In any case, if you were a powerless, powerless person who often asked others for help, not only would the people around you not respect you, they might even despise you and despise you...
After that, Wu Zhongqi and Wei Gangqiang did not talk about Wu Hualin anymore. Instead, they chatted and laughed with Luo Zhihui about some official matters. Lu Tao thought that Wei Gangqiang would take advantage of Wu Zhongqi's happiness to bring up his brother-in-law, Cao Jun. However, even when they were almost done eating, Wei Gangqiang did not say a word about Cao Jun.
Just as Lu Tao was wondering, Wu Zhongqi suddenly said to Wei Gangqiang, "Director Wei, are you free tonight? If you are, I'll treat you and your wife to tea. You can decide where to drink tea. When the time comes, I'll invite Deputy Secretary Wang of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Head Li of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department 1. I'll introduce you to them, have some tea and chat. "
Hearing Wu Zhongqi's words, Wei Gangqiang was so happy that his face glowed. Deputy Secretary Wang of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was the leader of the task force on Cao Jun's case, and the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department 1 was specifically responsible for investigating Cao Jun's case. Wu Zhongqi's intention of inviting these two key figures to get to know him and even wanted him to bring his wife along was self-evident...
Thus, he quickly replied, "I'm free! Of course I'm free! How about this? Please ask Deputy Secretary Wang and Director Li out. I'll treat the three of you to tea tonight. "
Wu Zhongqi didn't argue with him. He smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll see you tonight."
Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Lu Tao used the excuse of going to the toilet and went to the bar to pay the bill. Then, he returned to the room and saw Chen Zhao. She was talking on the phone in a corner of the room. Her expression didn't look right. He walked to her side and was about to ask her if she had something urgent when he saw Chen Zhao. She waved at him and walked out of the room with her phone, leaving Lu Tao puzzled …
Chen? It was her mother, Wu Manping, who was on the other end of the line.
As soon as the call connected, Wu Manping asked in a strict tone, "??? Did you come back from the county? Why didn't she come back for dinner? Who are you with now? "
Chen? As soon as she heard her mother's tone, she knew that something was wrong. Feeling a little uneasy, she braced herself and replied, "I'm having dinner with Uncle Wu Zhongqi now. I have something to talk to him about."
"Other than Wu Zhongqi, who else is with you? Is Lu Tao from Taolin County's Local Taxation Bureau also with you? "Wu Manping asked directly.
Chen? Knowing that she couldn't hide it anymore, she could only admit it. "Yes, Lu Tao is also having dinner with us. Other than him and Uncle Wu, there's also Deputy Director Wei from the Provincial Public Security Bureau and Director Luo from the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
Wu Manping suddenly exploded. "How can you still have the nerve to have dinner with that shameless brothel patron? Didn't you see how ugly he was when he was caught in the hotel room? Now that I think about how you actually like such a vicious little hooligan, I can't help but get angry! You have to think about your identity. Your father is the Deputy Secretary of the Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee. Your mother is a university teacher. You're also a civil servant in the Provincial Finance Bureau. If people find out that you like a brothel patron who was caught red-handed by the Public Security Bureau, where will you put your face? Where will your father and I put our faces? Even if you don't care about your own reputation, you have to think about me and your father's reputation! "
Chen? After a moment of silence, she asked calmly, "Mom, how did you know about this? Who showed you the photos? "
"What? You still want to protect that little hooligan at this time? You're asking who leaked the information to me. Are you going to find that person and denounce them? Let me tell you, if you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place! That little hooligan with the surname Lu did such a shameful thing. He's a toad who wants to eat swan meat and has designs on you. Naturally, there will be people who don't like him. Naturally, there will be people who will tell me about his dirty deeds. "
Chen? Hearing her last few words, she immediately reacted and sneered. "Mom, I know. It was Yang Zhitang who gave you the photos and videos, right?"
So, it was Chen? Knowing that Yang Zhitang had a good relationship with Zhang Wenqing, and that Zhang Wenqing had obtained the photos and videos of Lu Tao's arrest from Fatty Liang, Zhang Wenqing must have shared the photos and videos with Yang Zhitang as well. His goal must have been for Yang Zhitang to show it to his mother, so that his mother, who didn't like Lu Tao to begin with, would be even more disgusted and disgusted with him …
Wu Manping didn't think that her daughter would guess that it was Yang Zhitang so quickly. She was stunned for a moment before yelling sternly, "So what if Yang Zhitang told me? He cares about you and wants to protect you. He's afraid that you'll fall for that little hooligan's trick and do something shameful. I'm warning you, you can't bite the hand that feeds you. Don't blame your Uncle Yang. "
Chen? She snorted and said, "Mom, Yang Zhitang was used by someone. He didn't know the truth and spread rumors to ruin Lu Tao's reputation. Let me solemnly remind you, Lu Tao's so-called 'prostitution' was set up by someone. The person who set him up was Min Xiaojun, who hit me last time. Just now, the Furong District Public Security Bureau came to a conclusion that Lu Tao's prostitution was not established. The Public Security Bureau withdrew the case according to the law and publicly apologized to Lu Tao and the female victim. They also used appropriate methods to restore their reputation.
"Also, the people who set up the trap to frame Lu Tao, including Min Xiaojun, the leaders and police officers of the Furong District Public Security Bureau, and the boss of Yaqin Entertainment Bar, were either detained or investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. If you don't believe me, you can come to the Furong District Public Security Bureau to take a look. After you understand the truth, you won't think that Lu Tao is a prostitute anymore! "
