Sun Zhonghua was not old enough to be deaf. He could hear the sarcasm in Li Rui's words and retorted, "Who's deaf? Didn't I come over to open the door for you? Even if you didn't shout, I would have opened the door. Young people are always so impatient. "
Li Rui found it even more funny. It turned out that this old man was so aggressive that he wouldn't even take a loss in words. This kind of person was actually not difficult to deal with. He said, "Secretary Sun, there's no point in saying this. I'm here to talk about business. Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Sun Zhonghua snorted and moved aside. He said, "Since you have something to say, come in and talk."
Li Rui looked at the dumbstruck man beside him and asked with a smile, "Now you know what I do, right?"
The man's face was full of remorse and guilt. He said, "I'm sorry, County Magistrate Li. I … I didn't recognize you. I didn't recognize you …"
Li Rui didn't wait for him to finish and swaggered into the secretary's office, leaving him with an unreachable back.
Sun Zhonghua sneered secretly and thought, "Why are you so arrogant in front of your subordinates?" After Li Rui entered the room, he closed the door and didn't invite him to sit. He said coldly, "County Magistrate Li and I don't seem to have any official dealings. May I know what business County Magistrate Li has with me?"
Li Rui smiled and looked back at him, then sat down on the wooden sofa. He said, "Secretary Sun, shouldn't you give me an explanation about Zheng Song from the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department?"
Sun Zhonghua's face changed slightly and said coldly, "What about Zheng Song? I don't know. Why should I give you an explanation? "
Li Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, since Secretary Sun doesn't know, I'll tell you. Last weekend, Zheng Song, the director of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department, ordered Bai Xiaojuan, the director of the guest house, to install a camera in my room. I don't know why. Maybe he drank too much, or maybe he took the wrong medicine. I found out and called the police. The police have already detained Zheng Song. "
Sun Zhonghua was shocked and shouted, "There's such a thing? Is it true? How come I didn't know about it? No one told me. "
Li Rui looks at Dong Xuebing with a smile. He thought to himself. Continue to put on an act. I'm sure you are feeling frustrated. Last time, you lost the County's Investment Promotion Agency's Executive Deputy Chief, Zhang Jinbo, and you still don't know how to repent. This time, you are going to lose one of your trusted aides, and you can't tell anyone about this. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.
Sun Zhonghua said with a look of realization, "I was wondering why I haven't seen Zheng Song for the past two days. I didn't hear that he was on leave either. It turns out that he was detained. Tsk tsk, how could he do such a thing? County Magistrate Li, does he have a grudge against you? "
Li Rui leaned back comfortably on the sofa and said lazily, "I don't think I have any grudges with him, but he did it. Who do you think I can reason with? However, I suspect that he was also instructed by someone else. "
A curious expression appeared on Sun Zhonghua's face as he asked, "Who ordered you?"
Li Rui laughed. "Whoever has a grudge against me is the one who ordered him to do it. But I am not concerned about this. I will deal with whatever comes my way. No matter how many people the mastermind sends to harm me, I will get rid of them. I came to look for Secretary Sun this time to ask if the county disciplinary committee should deal with Zheng Song accordingly for doing such a thing. "
Sun Zhonghua frowned and waved his hand. "Let's not talk about punishment for now. I actually feel that this is more like a misunderstanding … Oh right, Zheng Song has been very busy recently. He was so busy that he was disoriented. Unfortunately, the Commission gave him two tasks. He might have been so busy that he mistook the two tasks for a guest house. Therefore, he installed surveillance equipment in the guest house in advance. It was all out of the public interest, but he didn't expect that the room just happened to be County Magistrate Li's room, so it was a misunderstanding …"
Li Rui laughed. At first glance, this reason sounded quite plausible. It could indeed explain the origin of the pinhole camera, but in reality, it did not stand up to scrutiny at all. He said, "Secretary Sun, your reason is very good. Unfortunately, you gave it too late. Zheng Song has already been arrested for two days, and he has never mentioned this detail. Moreover, Bai Xiaojuan is a witness. He can't deny it even if he wants to. Therefore, let's talk about how to deal with him. "
Sun Zhonghua sighed. He thought for a while and said with a pleading expression, "You said that he has already been detained. Isn't this the best punishment for what he did? It seems that there is no need for the unit to deal with him, right? It is not easy for the Party and the country to train a cadre. We should try to take the perspective of cherishing the cadre. However, County Magistrate Li, please rest assured that when he is released, I will strictly criticize and educate him and forbid him from doing such things again. "
Li Rui didn't give up and said, "Why is it not necessary? As a Party member and cadre, doing such things will not only be punished by the law, but also be dealt with according to the Party's rules and regulations. Now that this matter has spread in the county, it has a great impact on my reputation. If it is not dealt with seriously, I, Li Rui, will not accept it. Therefore, he must be dealt with seriously. " After that, he paused and said, "Secretary Sun, you don't want to deal with him. Could it be that you want to be lenient because of the relationship between superior and subordinate?"
Sun Zhonghua's face changed and said angrily, "How is that possible? How can I be that kind of person? I am just hesitating about what kind of rules and regulations should be used to deal with him. There has been no such thing in the past, so there is no rule to follow. I am also in a difficult position. I will carefully study it later and see what punishment is appropriate. County Magistrate Li, please rest assured that I will give you an explanation. "
Li Rui said sharply, "If there is no rule to follow, then we will create a rule. The rule I want is very simple. No matter what punishment is given to Zheng Song, he can no longer stay in the leadership position. If a cadre like him stays in the leadership position, he will only lead more comrades astray. "
Sun Zhonghua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was somewhat angry and said, "County Magistrate Li, what you said is wrong. Whether it is implementing the Party's rules or other rules and regulations, we have to follow the rules. Whichever rule he violated, we will deal with him according to the rules. We can't just do whatever you want. That is equivalent to you taking the lead in breaking the law."
Li Rui smiled and stood up. He said, "I still have something to do, so I will leave first. If Secretary Sun can't satisfy me, then I am sorry. I don't mind making a big deal out of this. Let's see who will lose face in the end. Goodbye. "After saying that, he walked to the door and quickly opened it and walked out.
Sun Zhonghua looked at the door with a pale face. After a while, he suddenly picked up the tea can on the tea table and fiercely smashed it at the door. He cursed, "F * ck you!" The iron tea can made a loud noise when it hit the door. At the same time, the lid was shaken off. When the can fell to the ground, the tea leaves were scattered all over the floor. This scene made him even angrier. He couldn't wait to rush over and step on the tea leaves to vent his anger. Unfortunately, the tea leaves were not Li Rui.
Li Rui was right. He had instructed his trusted subordinate, Zheng Song, to find a way to monitor Li Rui's private life in the guest house. Once he found out that Li Rui had any illegal behavior, he could directly get the evidence and remove him from office.
As the director of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department, Zheng Song was often involved in investigations and had high attainments in eavesdropping and surveillance. After he received the task from Sun Zhonghua, he found a pinhole camera disguised as a TV set-top box from a friend who had business dealings with him. Then he secretly replaced the TV set-top box in Li Rui's room with the pinhole camera through his old flame, Bai Xiaojuan, who was the county's reception director. Originally, this small move was flawless. Even someone as observant as Li Rui would not be able to discover this arrangement in a short time.
Who would have thought that the guest house's lobby manager, Xia Yan, would suddenly appear out of nowhere. Xia Yan unintentionally found out that Bai Xiaojuan had infiltrated Li Rui's room and told Li Rui about it. Only then did Li Rui realize something. He returned to his room to check and finally found the pinhole camera. Thus, Zheng Song was sent to the detention center and the entire conspiracy was crushed.
After Zheng Song was detained, he immediately called Sun Zhonghua for help. At that time, Sun Zhonghua realized that his conspiracy had been exposed and felt guilty. His first thought was how to not let Li Rui find out about it. How could he have the time to care about Zheng Song? Furthermore, he subconsciously wanted Zheng Song to be the scapegoat so that Li Rui would not link it to him. Thus, he hesitated and did not ask anyone to save Zheng Song. Of course, he also asked his acquaintances in the Public Security Bureau. He knew that Zheng Song would be released in a few days and would not leave a criminal record. Thus, he did not take it to heart. He only felt sorry that he had wasted such a great opportunity.
Originally, he thought that this matter would be over. Although he did not hurt Li Rui, he was not injured either. Just as he was thinking about how to launch a more vicious and effective attack on Li Rui, he did not expect Li Rui to take the initiative to come to him. What was more disgusting was that Li Rui was specifically targeting Zheng Song. He wanted to get rid of Zheng Song just like how he got rid of Zhang Jinbo. One must know that Zheng Song was one of his trusted aides in the Commission for Discipline Inspection. If he really got rid of Zheng Song, it would be as painful as breaking one of his arms. How could he bear to do that? However, he had no choice because Li Rui was relentless and aggressive. He even threatened to blow up the matter. That was what he was really afraid of. He was worried that if the matter blew up, Zheng Song would be pressured into betraying him. Then, as the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he would not have an easy time.
On one hand, Li Rui came to him with great momentum. On the other hand, he could only choose to compromise. The contrast between the two made the fire in his heart burn even more fiercely. It almost burned out from the top of his head.
