Li Rui didn't expect that he would discover such a huge bribery case of a foreign company just because he wanted to find out the truth behind Zhou Yulin's trip to the United States. This was really another big surprise after rescuing Zixuan. However, it was still too early to be happy. He still had to think about how to tell his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, about this! He definitely couldn't tell his father-in-law. Otherwise, he would know that he secretly went to the United States to rescue Zixuan. Since he couldn't say it himself, he could only ask someone else …
That night, Li Rui, Xu Da, and Yang Xiang returned to the provincial capital of Jingnan with the three members of the Gao family. Gao Dongdong went home first to report the good news, while Zixuan went to the provincial capital to look for Qingman, accompanied by her father, Gao Guotai. Before Zixuan left, Li Rui gave her the statement written by Zhou Yulin and gave her a secret message.
As for Li Rui, Xu Da, and Yang Xiang, they planned to spend the night in the provincial capital and rest well. They would rush back to Qingyang tomorrow morning.
After Zixuan saw Qingman, the two sisters hugged each other and cried. After crying for a while, they slowly calmed down and started to talk and laugh again. After that, the two girls went back to the bedroom. Zixuan told them about Li Rui's situation. It was just that it was not convenient to visit, so they had to wait until the weekend. Finally, she told them about the business that Li Rui had told her.
"When Li Rui returned to China this time, he saw the Executive Deputy Mayor of Dongzhou, Zhou Yulin. He felt that it was very strange. After that, he asked around, and with the help of Xu Da, he found out the inside story of Zhou Yulin's trip to the United States. It turned out that he had accepted a huge amount of bribes from the executive of a foreign company. What was more frightening was that the executive of the foreign company might have also bribed the leaders of several other cities and units in related industries at the same time. This is the statement written by Zhou Yulin. It's actually a confession, and it contains all the details. Li Rui asked me to give it to you. Find a way to put it at the door tomorrow morning and pretend that it was sent by an outsider. Let Yu Hongwei see it. This way, Yu Hongwei will show it to your father, and your father will naturally deal with this matter after he knows about it. Li Rui said that this is a very serious matter. If it's not dealt with properly, it's very likely that Shannan will become famous all over the country again. In that case, your father will also be affected. "
As a senior cadre, Qingman was well aware of the huge impact this matter could cause. She felt lucky that her husband found out about this matter first and asked her father to take the initiative to deal with it. If it was discovered and exposed by the media one day, or reported by others, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in China. The parties involved, Zhou Yulin, would definitely lose their reputation, and their father, as their superior, would also be implicated. At the very least, they would not be able to escape being scolded for not paying enough attention to their employees or supervising them strictly. She nodded and said, "I know. I'll call Xiao Rui later to confirm this matter. I'll get up early tomorrow morning and put this statement outside the door. However, it's missing an envelope, so I'll add one."
Zixuan whispered, "You can add an envelope, but don't let Uncle Lu recognize that it's the one you use at home."
Qingman smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't. I'll use A4 paper to fold an envelope."
…
The next morning, Li Rui and Yang Xiang took the earliest train back to Qingyang City. Li Rui changed his clothes when he got home and rushed to the office without stopping to see his boss, Song Chaoyang, to cancel his leave.
This time, he told Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng different reasons for his leave. Song Chaoyang told the truth, while Du Minsheng made up a careless excuse. He said that he was going to Huangzhou City to do poverty alleviation training under Song Chaoyang's order. His purpose was to prevent the truth from being spread to Lu Zhouxing if Du Minsheng knew about it. Moreover, Du Minsheng himself would most likely not agree to let this nephew of his go to the US.
This trip to the US, including the time on the plane, took up four days. Excluding Sunday, it took up three working days, which was very short. Therefore, when Song Chaoyang saw Li Rui in front of him, he was very surprised. How was this a trip to the US? It was a trip to the US. If he didn't know that he wouldn't lie to him, he would have thought that he didn't go to the US.
At the same time that Li Rui resumed his normal work, his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, also received the report letter from Yu Hongwei. After reading it, he was shocked and angry. He immediately rushed to the Provincial Party Headquarters to find the secretary, Huang Xinnian, to explain this matter. After a short discussion, the two leaders decided to find Zhou Yulin first to find out the authenticity of this statement. Once it was true, they would immediately send an investigation team to thoroughly investigate this matter.
In order to not frighten Zhou Yulin and cause him to flee, Lu Zhouxing deliberately used the Provincial Government's name to ask Zhou Yulin to immediately rush to the Provincial Government to attend an emergency meeting. When Zhou Yulin received the call from the secretary, he was still in Beijing. He planned to take his daughter to have fun in Beijing. After receiving this call, he naturally didn't dare to stay any longer. He also didn't dare to use the excuse that he had just finished a surgery as an excuse to delay the meeting. He immediately took the earliest flight back to Jingnan.
That afternoon, Zhou Yulin had just arrived at the Provincial Government when he was detained by the staff of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Then, he was directly brought to Lu Zhouxing. In the face of the huge pressure brought by Lv Zhouxing, as well as the statement that he had written himself, Zhou Yulin did not dare to deny it at all. He straightforwardly admitted all his illegal and disciplinary actions. Lu Zhouxing immediately ordered Zhou Yulin to be taken away and temporarily detained. He didn't want to go through the two procedures first.
After that, Lv Zhouxing and Huang Xinnian came up with a plan and sent several investigation teams composed of disciplinary officers and prosecutors to the cities and units involved in the case mentioned by Zhou Yulin to investigate the leaders in charge. This matter wasn't discussed at the meeting. Instead, it was directly decided by the two leaders. They didn't act arbitrarily, but they considered the risk of leaking information. Once the information was leaked, the officials involved would take countermeasures after hearing about it. They were afraid that this matter would cause a huge uproar and alarm the media. That would be terrible.
Two days later, this shocking case surfaced. Zhou Yulin's report was true. There were a total of four prefectural cities and three provincial state-owned enterprises that received bribes from the American environmental protection equipment company. The total amount of bribes reached tens of millions, and the total amount of orders involved was as high as six hundred million.
After the case was clear, the Provincial Government quickly dealt with the officials involved like a thunderstorm. The Dongzhou Procuratorate also arrested the Chinese vice president and several of his staff who bribed the officials. What awaited them was also the severe punishment of the national law.
After the case spread, it had a huge impact on society. However, because the Provincial Government dealt with it quickly and appropriately, neither the government nor the public had any complaints about the Provincial Government. On the contrary, a national newspaper even praised Shannan Province on Weibo for their decisiveness in this case, praising them for their "strong supervision and courage."
The reason why Shannan Province was said to have shown great courage in this case was because similar cases involving bribery by foreign companies were very likely to dampen the enthusiasm of foreign investors. Although most foreign companies didn't bother to use bribery to expand their market, it was undeniable that there were a lot of foreign companies that came to China to "do as the Romans do". They learned the dirty tricks used by domestic companies and profited greatly through these improper means. Shannan Province's tough tactics this time meant that foreign companies that wanted to play dirty tricks would not choose to invest in Shannan. This was a loss for Shannan Province.
Regardless, Lu Zhouxing was not only unaffected by this crisis, but also won the praise of the national media. It was a miracle. While Old Master Lu was gratified, he was also puzzled. Who the hell put the report letter in front of his house? People who could enter the Provincial Government Compound were not ordinary people. Since they could enter the compound, why didn't they just hand it over to him directly?
When he was puzzled, he did not look behind him. If he did, he would find that his daughter was secretly laughing.
…
On Li Rui's side, on the first Saturday night after returning to China, he faced the Zixuan's love. This time, the latter was determined to give her body to him. For this reason, she secretly came to Qingyang City alone to meet her lover. "Stop talking nonsense.
"Stop talking nonsense. When I was imprisoned by the terrorists, I was already regretting it to death. Why didn't I become your wife earlier? That way, even if I died, I wouldn't have had anything to regret. At least, I would have had something to wish for. I hoped that the King of Hell would consider our relationship and allow me to reincarnate as a real couple with you in my next life. And when you saved me, I had already decided. This time, no matter what you say, I want to be your wife. If you dare to say a single word, I will slap you. Say it again, say it again … "
The beautifully dressed Zixuan slightly raised her snow-white chin. Her beautiful face was cold and stern. She glared fiercely at Li Rui in front of her. Her right hand was already raised, and she looked like she was going to slap him. She looked like a wild girlfriend.
Li Rui was touched and amused. He said, "How about this, honey? I won't refuse, but I won't agree now. Why? Because if we really become husband and wife, it will affect a lot of people and things. You won't have the chance to regret it. I'll give you two years. You can use these two years to regret, or you can try to find your true love. If you still can't find your true love in these two years, then I'll take you, and from now on, you'll only belong to me. Don't say anything else. It's settled. If you want to treat me as your husband, then be obedient! "
