After the task force obtained these clues, they immediately rushed to Fang Qiang's house and 'invited' him to the Municipal Bureau. At first, Fang Qiang refused to admit anything. It was only when the task force members showed him Xia Meihua's confession that he realized that he had no choice but to confess the truth. However, his confession was different from Xia Meihua's. Xia Meihua said that when they were having dinner together, she heard him spread rumors about Song Chaoyang and was asked by him to spread the rumors. Then, she went home and sent the message to the WeChat group. However, Fang Qiang said that when he and Xia Meihua had a date that night, they talked about these things in bed. Xia Meihua helped him send the message to the WeChat group after hearing it. The reason why she retracted it was not because she felt guilty or regretted it, but because she was afraid of being punished, so she took anti-investigation measures.
In other words, from Xia Meihua's mouth, she and Fang Qiang were just good friends. However, from Fang Qiang's mouth, the two of them were lovers, and the latter was a fatal blow to Xia Meihua's reputation.
The task force did not care about this little episode, but in the principle of investigating clearly, they still asked Xia Meihua again. When Xia Meihua heard that Fang Qiang had revealed his relationship with her, she was shocked and angry. She scolded him for being heartless, which was equivalent to admitting that she was his lover. Later, Xia Meihua also admitted that she had lied, and the truth was based on what Fang Qiang had said. Based on this analysis, Fang Qiang felt that he had been betrayed by Xia Meihua and was angry. So, he decided to go all out and announce his relationship with her to the world, so that Xia Meihua would suffer.
No matter how the two of them tore at each other, the truth was finally clear. At around 11 o 'clock that night, Zhou Yuansong personally called Li Rui and told him the truth, asking him to report it to Song Chaoyang. The reason why he did not call Song Chaoyang was naturally because he was worried that he would disturb his sleep.
It was only now that Li Rui understood that Fang Qiang, this sinister and despicable old rival of his, was actually hiding behind the rumors. After he was demoted by Song Chaoyang and demoted to the City Magistrate's Office, not only did he not repent and learn from his mistakes, he even took this opportunity to hide in the shadows and become a lurking poisonous snake, scheming and plotting his revenge. Furthermore, the mobilization of the cadre after the Han Shui case gave him an opportunity. He took this opportunity to spread rumors in an attempt to destroy Song Chaoyang's reputation at the grassroots level, thereby affecting his governance. His intentions could not be described as not vicious, and his methods could not be described as not ruthless. If Wang Dong hadn't taken the initiative to come and buy an official position, he and his boss would've only heard of the rumors after it had spread throughout the city.
However, Fang Qiang himself would not have a good ending. Spreading rumors and slandering was a crime, and he would not be able to escape from a prison term. Furthermore, his relationship with Xia Meihua was exposed, and he would not be able to raise his head again for the rest of his life. Song Chaoyang did not need to punish him severely. What awaited him was the darkest part of his life.
The next day, it was Sunday. Li Rui went to pick up Song Chaoyang in the morning, and reported the truth of the case to him.
Song Chaoyang did not expect that this matter would be attributed to Fang Qiang in the end. He was shocked and angry, and said, "Demoting him to the city office was too easy for him. If I had known this would happen, I would have investigated him carefully and dug out all his illegal activities. Hmph, that Xia Meihua must have been seduced by him when he was the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. I don't believe that there would be any woman willing to be his mistress when he became the director of the city office. "
Li Ruixin thought with some evil humor. When Fang Qiang was the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, he was also the number one person in the city. His taste was definitely not low. To be able to fancy Xia Meihua, that woman surnamed Xia must be quite beautiful. If that was not the case, the Deputy Mayor who reported her would not have such a deep impression of her. In that case, Fang Qiang's luck with women was not shallow. Of course, now that his luck with women had come to an end, when he was released from prison, even his wife would not want him anymore. This was the fate of a despicable person.
Song Chaoyang said again, "The rumor incident can be considered to have ended here. God has mercy on us, and it did not cause too much trouble. The Secretary of the Subdistrict Committee who told you about this matter had helped me before. If he didn't take the initiative to look for you, we would still be in the dark. But this is just a personal matter. I can't promote him publicly. How can a cadre who only wants to use underhanded methods to get promoted be a good cadre? You can tell him what I said and tell him to put his heart and soul into the right path in the future. I should still have a few years left in my term in Qingyang. As long as he corrects his mistakes and makes achievements during my term, I will not be stingy in promoting him. "
Li Rui timely flattered, "Boss, you have a clear distinction between public and private matters. You do not put public affairs aside for personal reasons. You are really a role model for me to learn!"
Song Chaoyang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I am just saying. In fact, it is because he did not help enough. If he could help me investigate Fang Qiang, I would be embarrassed to not use him. Haha."
Li Rui got off work at around four o 'clock in the afternoon. The reason why he got off work so early was not because it was the weekend, nor was it because his boss, Song Chaoyang, had some private matters to attend to. It was because the weather was not on his side. The blue sky and white clouds had turned into dense, dark clouds that almost pressed down on the roof. The sky was dark, the wind whistled, and the tree branches swayed. It looked like a storm was coming.
In such a situation, it was naturally going to rain, and it was going to be a heavy rainstorm. Looking at the layers of dark clouds, it was estimated that the rain would not be short. Song Chaoyang was worried about the heavy rain, so he got off work early.
Li Rui did not go home. Instead, he went to Huang Weining's Huayun Group. There were two things he wanted to do. First, he wanted to see how Huang Weining was doing in Huayun Group. Second, he wanted to ask Huang Weining for three positions. Two of them were for Liu Liying and her sister, and the other one was for Liu Xia, a former staff member of the Beijing Office.
Liu Liping had not had a proper job since Li Rui helped her solve the case when she hurt someone with a knife. Although Liu Liying opened an adult goods store, it did not make much money. She also had to raise a child, so she was under a lot of pressure. Li Rui had long wanted to help the two women find a proper job. Previously, he had mentioned it to Huang Weining, but at that time, Huang Weining was just fooling around with him and didn't take it seriously. He took advantage of the time today to formally mention it to her.
As for Liu Xia, Li Rui had interacted with her when he picked up Sun Shuqin from the hospital in Beijing. He felt that this girl was cheerful, had a good character, and knew how to get things done. He had a very pure and good impression of her. When he heard that she would lose her job after the Beijing Office was downsized, he wanted to help her find a job. It could also be considered as a good karma.
Of course, other than these two matters, Li Rui also missed Huang Weining. He wanted to take the opportunity to visit her. If she was not busy at night, he would have dinner with her. After all, their relationship had already broken through to the stage of being close friends.
When he arrived at the Huayun Corporation, the sky was already as dark as the bottom of a pot. The wind was getting stronger, and there was moisture in the wind. However, there was still not a single drop of rain. This rain would probably last until night.
After taking the elevator to the floor where the Huayun Corporation was located, Li Rui had just walked in a few steps when he saw a tall, long-legged beauty in an office lady outfit standing in the aisle. She was talking to a well-proportioned and muscular young man. That beauty was almost 1.8 meters tall in high heels. Her pair of long legs were like a supermodel's. She wore a thin pair of nude stockings, and her sex appeal index was almost five stars. She was also beautiful and delicate, making people not dare to look at her directly. There were many people walking in and out of the hallway, but no one was as alluring as this woman.
When Li Rui saw this woman's appearance, he faintly smiled. He seemed to have more fate with Cindy. Every time, he would see her first before Weining.
That beauty was none other than Cindy, Jiang Meixian.
When Li Rui saw her, she also seemed to have sensed Li Rui's appearance. When she turned around and recognised him, her face immediately lit up with joy as she looked at him with a smile.
Li Rui went up and smiled. "Hi, Cindy!"
Although this greeting was casual, it was a very formal greeting in an enterprise. Jiang Meixian didn't expect him to say this and couldn't help but laugh. "You came at the right time. Let me introduce you. This is Xiangxiang's younger brother, Yang Shan. He's currently the head of the security department of the Huayun Corporation."
Previously, Li Rui and Yang Xiang came to the Huayun Corporation to pick up Huang Weining from work. On the way back, Yang Xiang said that she wanted Huang Weining to arrange a job for her younger brother. She also emphasized that her younger brother's education level wasn't high. Huang Weining agreed. Unexpectedly, her younger brother had already come to Qingyang. Furthermore, Weining had already arranged a job for him. He was the head of the security department of the Huayun Corporation. This position wasn't high, but it wasn't low either. It wasn't bad.
However, Li Rui doubted that Yang Shan, the head of the security department, would have many soldiers under him. The Huayun Corporation was just established, and its purpose was to service the two factories and other poverty alleviation investments. How many employees could it hire? How many floors could it occupy? How many security guards could it hire?
Although he doubted it, Li Rui still reached out his hand to Yang Shan without hesitation. Because of Yang Xiang, he felt close to Yang Shan from the bottom of his heart. It was as if Yang Shan was also his younger brother. This was also the first time he felt this way toward a relative of a woman who wasn't in an ambiguous relationship.
Although Yang Xiang wasn't his lover, they had gone through thick and thin together. It could be said that if it wasn't for him, Yang Xiang would have died long ago. Similarly, if it wasn't for Yang Xiang, he would have died long ago. The relationship between the two of them was not worse than a romantic relationship. Instead, it was deeper and stronger.
Yang Shan saw Li Rui reach out his hand and shake it with him honestly. However, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Meixian. Naturally, he wanted to ask her to introduce him.
Li Rui saw that he didn't know him. He smiled and said, "You don't know me yet, but you definitely know me. You'll know if I tell you something. Has your sister ever told you that she has a Brother Li in Qingyang?"
