This was five years ago. At that time, Zheng Zijuan was not a member of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee, nor was she the head of the Publicity Department. She was just a county magistrate.
Two years later, Zheng Zijuan was promoted to the secretary of the county party committee, and Cai Shaohua's law firm in the provincial capital was becoming more and more prosperous. One day, Cai Shaohua took on a case. A rich young master raped a campus belle of a university in the provincial capital. After the campus belle was humiliated, she and her family called the police. The rich young master was arrested and faced a trial for rape. When the rich young master's mother heard that Cai Shaohua was very famous, she specifically looked for him and asked him to help reduce her son's crime. Cai Shaohua was really good. After carefully understanding the case, he also learned about the history of his relationship with the campus belle from the rich young master. In the end, during the trial, he actually argued that the rape case was a scam. "The woman willingly offered her body and asked for a huge amount of benefits. The man did not agree, so she falsely accused the man of raping her."
Not to mention Cai Shaohua's character in this case, after this case, he made friends with the rich young master's mother and son. After that, he found out that the rich young master's father was the current governor of Shannan Province, and the former deputy secretary of Shannan Province, Wang Liguo. Since then, Cai Shaohua became a guest of the Wang family, and also became the Wang family's lawyer. He also used this as a springboard to get to know many politicians in the provincial capital.
Speaking of which, Cai Shaohua was a good person to Zheng Zijuan. Seeing that his wife was focused on her career, he took an opportunity to take her to the provincial capital to visit many politicians, including Wang Liguo. The power of relationships was huge. In less than a year, Zheng Zijuan was appointed by the provincial party committee to the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee, as well as the head of the Publicity Department. That year, she was only 34 years old. Not only was she the highest-ranking female official in Qingyang City, but she was also the youngest female official in the province. She was very popular for a while.
After that, Cai Shaohua was obsessed with developing his business in the provincial capital, and continued to expand his network. He partnered with others to open a large consulting company, which mainly focused on human resources consulting, organizational process consulting, and policy development consulting. Miraculously, this illusory and ethereal consulting company actually brought him a huge income. It could be said that he made a lot of money every day.
Zheng Zijuan was not interested in this at all, and was too lazy to care. The couple still spent more time together than apart as before, and neither of them cared about the other's affairs. But what Zheng Zijuan didn't expect was that behind this dull and even estranged married life, a huge shadow had already emerged and slowly shrouded her.
It turned out that the consulting company that Cai Shaohua opened in the provincial capital, on the surface, had a very beautiful brand, and would often ask for human resources or policy organizations. It sounded very profound and mysterious, but in fact, the main business of this consulting company was not to provide consulting services, but to help the provincial capital politicians that he knew to launder money. At the same time, he provided them with women for free to strengthen the relationship between them. Through the latter, he could get to know more powerful senior officials in exchange for more benefits.
In just two years, Cai Shaohua's company had a few hundred million in cash flow, but the annual tax payment was only a few tens of thousands. In addition, through this consulting company, Cai Shaohua had bribed college students, unemployed people, dancers, prostitutes, and other workers who were willing to work part-time. There were as many as dozens of them. After a short period of training, these young and beautiful girls were sent to some high-ranking officials to be their lovers in exchange for more benefits.
Unfortunately, there was no such thing as an airtight wall in the world. Cai Shaohua thought that everything he did was flawless, and that he had the support of high-ranking officials, so nothing would happen. Who knew that last week, a deputy secretary-general of the provincial government was investigated for disciplinary violations. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection found Cai Shaohua's company through his lovers, which eventually led to his arrest.
No one knew what Cai Shaohua said when he was interrogated, but he must have revealed something. Therefore, the leaders of the provincial party committee might have thought that Cai Shaohua had a close relationship with the current governor, Wang Liguo, and had a lot of money and property transactions over the years. Therefore, they suspected that his wife, Zheng Zijuan, was also a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee by bribing Wang Liguo. Moreover, this matter could be verified. That year, during the discussion of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee's Publicity Minister, Wang Liguo, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, nominated Zheng Zijuan to be the Publicity Minister.
The situation was complicated, and the governor, Wang Liguo, was hospitalized in Beijing, so they couldn't find any clues. Therefore, the leaders of the provincial party committee decided to temporarily remove Zheng Zijuan from her position to prevent her from being passive in the future. As a result, Zheng Zijuan was struck by a natural disaster and fell from her seat as a member of the Municipal Committee, becoming a commoner.
In the end, Zheng Zijuan sneered: "To be honest, my position of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee was obtained by my husband after he got to know Wang Liguo. But I don't think that my husband asked for it from Wang Liguo. My husband doesn't have the guts. Maybe Wang Liguo wanted to return the favor, and felt that I met all the requirements, so he promoted me. Hehe, who would have thought that in the end, my position of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee was taken down because of my husband. This is really a case of success and failure. "Li Rui sighed and asked:" How did you know about this? Was it Song Shuji who told you this morning? " Zheng Zijuan shook her head and said: "Song Shuji didn't know much. This was told to me by the Provincial Party Committee's Head, Fang Guotao. He told me that my husband was arrested, and I shouldn't think about seeing him in the near future. In order to avoid suspicion, the Provincial Party Committee decided to remove me from my position until the matter was investigated. He also pretended to comfort me, saying that I was wronged. Hehe, what wronged did I get? I really can't run away from this matter. " Li Rui said angrily: "It's too much to remove you like this. Even if the matter was investigated thoroughly, it would still be fine. They didn't find anything and only suspected you, so they removed you from your position. That's too arbitrary. "
Zheng Zijuan shook her head and said: "It's not arbitrary at all. Maybe the Provincial Party Committee already has some evidence in their hands that can prove that my husband and Wang Liguo really did bribe. But the Provincial Party Committee's leaders gave me face and didn't immediately punish me. Instead, they took my hat off first and then slowly dealt with me. Hehe, I have to thank them for being so magnanimous. At least, they gave me time to deal with my funeral. " Li Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this and said: "Don't say that. No one knows what exactly happened. Why are you so depressed? Song Shuji said it well. The innocent knows they are innocent, and the muddy knows they are muddy. Your husband's problem shouldn't implicate you. " Zheng Zijuan raised her eyebrows and said: "Right now, I want to ask my husband if he asked Wang Liguo to promote me. Unfortunately, I can't see him and can't contact him. I can only be a muddle-headed ghost for now." She then sighed and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's annoying to talk about it. Let's drink. Xiao Rui, let me toast to you. Thank you for accompanying me at this time. "
The two of them drank until eleven o 'clock. Not to mention that there were no customers in the bar, there weren't many people walking on the street. Zheng Zijuan and Li Rui both drank too much. Compared to them, Zheng Zijuan drank even more. She was once one of the main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee, but in the end, she became a puddle of mud. She lay on the table and didn't want to get up, let alone leave. She kept shouting that she still wanted to drink.
Li Rui paid the bill and helped her out. He was also a little dizzy. When they arrived at the parking lot, he took out the car key from her bag and unlocked the car. He helped her sit in the back seat and sat in the driver's seat. He turned around and asked: "Sister, I'll send you back. Can you tell me where your house is?" Zheng Zijuan said drunkenly: "In Qingyang. Haha, you still have to ask such a simple question. You're really a silly boy." Li Rui found it funny and distressing. He was also puzzled. People would stammer when they drank too much, but this sister didn't have that problem. It was as if she wasn't drunk at all. He thought for a while and said: "I remember now. Your house should be in the Municipal Party Committee's Family Compound. But I've never been there. How should I get there?" Zheng Zijuan said: "Just go anywhere. Haha, the world is round. Just keep driving forward and turn around. Then you'll come back." Li Rui heard that she didn't answer his question and smiled bitterly. He didn't ask her anymore and drove away.
On the way, Li Rui asked a few taxi drivers and finally determined the location of the Municipal Party Committee's Family Compound. When he drove over, he found that there were armed police standing guard at the entrance. He was a stranger to the armed police at the entrance. What if he was stopped by them? If he didn't mention Zheng Zijuan, he definitely wouldn't be allowed to enter. If he mentioned her, then who was he to her? It was already so late. Why were they hanging out together?
Li Rui actually didn't dare to enter because he had a guilty conscience. He wanted to take Zheng Zijuan to the Qingyang Hotel to stay, but he was afraid of meeting acquaintances. He also didn't dare to take her home. After all, his house didn't have a place to entertain guests. At this moment, he felt that he didn't have enough houses. If he had another house, he could have taken Zheng Zijuan to stay there. Then he wouldn't have to worry so much. He thought for a while and wondered if he should buy a new house with the hundreds of thousands he saved with Yuan Jingjing. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Moreover, he was the dignified Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's General Office. In the future, similar situations would happen a lot. He also had to entertain guests and entertain friends. It was inconvenient to go to his house. Buying another house was the safest and freest choice.
But that was a plan for the future. How should he solve this problem now? How should he settle Zheng Zijuan down? Should he let her sleep in the car for a night?
