She hung up the phone and looked at Li Rui guiltily. "Xiao Rui, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed that you were the guy in the picture. I've wronged you. I'm deeply sorry for not trusting you."
Li Rui smiled bitterly. "Department Head Zheng, you don't need to apologize at all. On the contrary, I want to thank you. You didn't inform the Commission for Discipline Inspection or Song Shuji immediately when you encountered this kind of situation. Instead, you gave me a chance to admit my mistake and repent. This in itself fully represents your trust and care for me. I can't thank you enough. I definitely won't resent you. "
He spoke very politely as if Zheng Zijuan was wholeheartedly doing this for him. In reality, he knew that Zheng Zijuan gave him such a chance partly because he had treated her well in the past. More importantly, she was considering the face of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary, Song Chaoyang.
As the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary, if Song Chaoyang's secretary really did such a shameful thing, he would lose face. At the very least, he would be held responsible for not knowing the right person. No matter what his thoughts were, he definitely didn't want this matter to continue to fester. He definitely wouldn't allow the whole world to know about this matter. Zheng Zijuan had to think for him and save his face. Thus, she could only resolve this matter in the smallest possible way. Thus, she called Li Rui over and planned to resolve this matter in private.
However, no matter what, she did take good care of Li Rui. Li Ruixin was also grateful for this, so he spoke very politely to her.
Zheng Zijuan was very pleased to hear this and praised him. "Xiao Rui is really good. Song Shuji didn't pick the wrong person. I didn't misjudge him either." After saying that, he frowned and said, "Who has the guts to publicly frame a party member and a leading cadre? He had to find out who this person was. He had to be held accountable for this. Xiao Rui, if your reputation is damaged because of this, he must be held accountable. " Li Rui pondered for a while and said, "I can vaguely guess who did it, but I'm not sure. Logically speaking, they should be able to do such a thing, but I don't want to believe that with their status, they would be able to do such a despicable thing … "Zheng Zijuan hurriedly asked," Who is it? "Li Rui shook his head with a bitter smile and said," I can't tell you who this person is. Chief Zheng, this matter is of great importance. We can't just talk about it in private. If this matter was blown up, it might cause a storm and put Song Shuji or Secretary-General Du in a passive position. I suggest that we go see Song Shuji immediately and report this matter to him. "Zheng Zijuan nodded and said," All right, I agree. Wait for me. I'll make a copy of these photos on the USB flash drive. I'll show it to the Song Shuji later. " Li Rui sighed bitterly. "This person's computer skills are really good. He replaced my head with that person's body. There are no flaws at the neck. It's really brilliant. But I'm puzzled. Where did he find my head? "
Five minutes later, in Song Chaoyang's office, Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng stared at the photos on the computer screen.
There were five photos in this batch. The first two were photos of Li Rui at work. They seemed to have been taken from a news video. The last three were photos of the erotic photos. Two of them had Li Rui's face and the last one only had the lower half of his body.
Li Rui pointed out the flaws in the photos to the two leaders and showed his body parts to them. The two of them nodded repeatedly.
After looking at the photos, Song Chaoyang asked Zheng Zijuan, "Director Zheng, do you have any computer experts in the Publicity Department? Can you confirm that these are erotic photos? "Zheng Zijuan said awkwardly," It happened so suddenly. I didn't have time to ask someone to verify the authenticity. "Song Chaoyang said," It's okay. Even if we don't have a computer expert to verify the authenticity, Xiao Rui found the details himself. This guy is definitely not Xiao Rui. "
Du Minsheng asked Li Rui, "Xiao Rui, have you offended anyone recently?" Li Rui sighed bitterly. "You and Song Shuji both know this person, but I don't want to believe that he did it. But other than that mother and son, I can't think of anyone else I've offended. I think it was Hao Yalan and Gao Dongdong, mother and son from the provincial capital, who sent people to do it, so as to slander my reputation and character. "" Xiao Rui, "Song Chaoyang said," Before the matter is clear, don't make any judgment. " Li Rui knew that he was reminding him not to offend people by saying the wrong thing, so he said, "Yes, I'll remember that."
Song Chaoyang asked, "Director Zheng, regarding these erotic photos and posts circulating on the Internet, can your Publicity Department work with the Public Security Bureau to find the person behind the scenes?" Zheng Zijuan said, "We're not sure yet. I've only asked the Internet Surveillance Bureau to remove the posts and erotic photos. As for finding the person who posted the posts, we haven't made any arrangements yet. "Song Chaoyang said," Then please go back and make arrangements. If you need any help, just ask the Public Security Bureau for assistance. "Zheng Zijuan nodded and said," Okay, then I'll go back first. "After that, she looked at Li Rui apologetically and turned to leave.
After she left, Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng both shot their gazes at Li Rui. Poor Li Rui was frightened by their stares and didn't know what to say.
Du Minsheng said, "Think about it again. Other than the incident in the provincial capital, did you offend anyone in Qingyang?" Li Rui thought carefully and shook his head. "I didn't make any enemies in Qingyang. Even if I was involved in Sun Xiaobao's case these days, I'm not the person in charge of this case. I don't think anyone would take revenge on me, right? "Du Minsheng nodded and said," Then we can only wait until we find the person behind the scenes to find out. "
Song Chaoyang sighed. "No one would've thought that something like this would happen. Xiao Rui, don't be too pessimistic. I believe that Department Head Zheng will send people to settle this matter as soon as possible. Of course, you may have to bear some of the grievances yourself. Before we find the person behind the scenes, you have to be strong. " Li Rui smiled bitterly. "It's okay for me to be strong, but I'm afraid that this matter will cause an uproar and affect your reputation in the end." Song Chaoyang shook his head and said, "It won't." After that, he said to Du Minsheng, "For the sake of the people's livelihood, we can't passively eliminate the impact of this matter. We have to take the initiative. I think you should use the name of the General Office of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee to make a statement online to explain the truth to the netizens. This will prevent the netizens who hate the officials and the rich from mistakenly believing it to be true and spreading rumors everywhere. " Du Minsheng smiled bitterly. "It's easy to make a statement, but I'm worried that the more we refute the rumors, the more the netizens won't believe it. Because I also pay close attention to the Internet, I know that the active netizens love to see such scandals from the officialdom. Once they see it, they will believe it to be true. Very few people have the ability to think for themselves, so they will often spread false rumors and eventually cause a negative impact on society. Moreover, they follow a law. Any official refutes a rumor, it must be true. If you don't refute the rumor, they will be uncertain. So, I think it's better not to make a statement. "
Song Chaoyang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He asked Li Rui, "Xiao Rui, you are the victim. Do you think it's necessary to make a statement?" Li Rui was helpless when he heard this. From the bottom of his heart, he naturally hoped that there would be a statement to wash away the dirty water on him. But he was really afraid that the netizens would believe it even more after seeing the rumors refuted. That would be self-defeating. After thinking about it, he could only smile bitterly.
Song Chaoyang decisively made the decision for him. He said to Du Minsheng, "Then let's not make a statement first. When we catch the mastermind behind the scenes, we'll make a joint statement. "
When Du Minsheng and Li Rui walked out together, Du Minsheng reminded him, "Hurry up and call Qingman. Tell her about this and don't let her misunderstand." Li Ruixin's head jumped. He hurriedly thanked the secretary and found his phone to call Lu Qingman.
The call didn't go through. After a series of beeps, the call was disconnected. Li Ruixin had a bad premonition. He dialed again, but this time, the call was rejected as soon as it went through. He was shocked and scared. Could it be that Lu Qingman had seen these photos and believed them? He knew that if he called her again, she would definitely reject him. So, he gave up on his phone and called her directly from the office.
The matter was very urgent. He would rather lose the world than lose her. So, he took advantage of the government and used the office phone to call a private number.
After the call was made, it rang twice. However, the good news didn't last long. It was rejected again.
Li Rui knew that Lu Qingman was very smart. She definitely knew that he would use the landline to pretend that someone else was calling her. So, she saw through it and rejected him again. This time, he panicked. He thought about it and had an idea. He immediately went to find the secretary.
Du Minsheng had just returned to his office and sat down when he saw Li Rui barge in with a panicked expression. He was slightly startled and said, "What's wrong now?" Li Rui said, "Secretary, Qingman might know about this. She's probably angry because she didn't pick up my call." Du Minsheng frowned. Li Rui said, "If she doesn't pick up my call, then I'll have to trouble you to call her. I'm sure she'll listen to your explanation. Please help me explain it. "
In theory, this was a purely private matter. But no matter where you were in the world, who could clearly distinguish between business and private matters? In China, this was even more confusing. No one dared to pat their chest and say that they didn't do anything private at work. Even the country's president didn't dare to say that.
Du Minsheng nodded. He happily took out his phone and called Lu Qingman.
The first thing he asked was, "Qingman, did you see Xiao Rui's indecent photos online?" After asking this, he put the call on speaker so that Li Rui could hear it.
