Liu Tianlai escorted Ji Zheng out of the Public Security Bureau. He knew that Wen Liang and Ji Su seemed to have a special relationship, so he was very polite to Ji Zheng. When the two of them arrived at the gate, Liu Tianlai smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Ji, for coming to cooperate with us. Don't worry, based on the current situation, there shouldn't be too much trouble."
Ji Zheng was very grateful for Liu Tianlai's gesture. Although they were both kindred spirits, they didn't have much contact in private. It was not easy for him to be so considerate. He shook Liu Tianlai's hand tightly and said, "Thank you, Director Liu. When this is over, you must give me a favor and have a drink together."
"Okay, okay," Liu Tianlai said with a smile on his face, "I will definitely get closer to Director Ji if I have the chance."
After bidding farewell to Liu Tianlai, Ji Zheng walked silently on the street, alone, frowning, and looking a little downcast. He knew that Liu Tianlai's words were just consolation. How could a vicious incident that left one dead and one injured in a downtown area be a minor trouble? But to be honest, he really didn't expect that a dirty guy like He Xiaobo would have such courage to tie detonators all over his body and follow him all the way to Qinghe Soy Milk.
I was careless!
Ji Zheng sighed, put his hands in his coat pockets, shrunk his neck to avoid the cold wind, walked to a secluded place and called Wen Liang. A calm tone came from the other end of the phone, without any emotional changes or verbal hints, as if a rock returned to the sea, deep and unpredictable.
Following the instructions on the phone, he came to a small restaurant in Tonghai District that didn't even have a name. The environment was not very good, and the business was even worse. At lunch time, there were seven or eight empty tables with no one. As soon as Ji Zheng entered the door, he saw Wen Liang sitting in the corner. His heart suddenly jumped twice. This was a sign of extreme nervousness. Even he himself didn't know why he was so afraid of Wen Liang. Maybe he was afraid of those eyes that could never be seen through, or that immature face that could not discern any useful information, or maybe he was in awe of his unpredictable methods. In front of this young man, all his disguises were exposed.
"Mr. Wen, I'm sorry about this..."
Wen Liang waved his hand, asked Ji Zheng to sit opposite him, turned around and called out, "Serve the food."
"Come on!" someone answered from the inner room. A few minutes later, a young woman who looked a bit pretty came with two bowls of chicken and duck and placed them on the table. She smiled sweetly at the two and said, "It's your first time here. Try our old man's cooking. If it's delicious, come often."
The young woman had a pretty face and a dignified appearance, and spoke with a strong Hanting City accent, but she seemed very familiar with the business. Ji Zheng was worried about what Wen Liang was going to say to him, and he was in no mood to listen to her chat, but because of Wen Liang, he couldn't get angry, so his face suddenly became gloomy.
Wen Liang didn't even look at him. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, praising: "Not bad, the meat is fragrant, the soup is rich, and the noodles are chewy. The boss lady is so lucky. Your husband has this skill. He will definitely make a fortune in the future."
The young woman had no idea that her words had offended Ji Zheng, but when she heard Wen Liang's praise, her little tiger teeth showed with joy, and she said, "You can tell from the sound of it that you are a connoisseur of goods, so you must help promote it. This newly opened small shop relies entirely on customers like you. Today, thanks to your good words, I will treat you to this meal."
Wen Liang agreed with a smile. The young woman chatted for a few more words and then went away twisting her waist. Ji Zheng suddenly understood that Wen Liang was deliberately leaving time for himself to calm down. If he continued to be as impatient as before, it would only make a worse impression on him.
Thinking of this, Ji Zheng realized that he was not an ordinary person. He slowly exhaled, cleared all the distracting thoughts in his mind, freed himself from all kinds of negative emotions, and then lowered his head to eat Hele.
Wen Liang then smiled a little and asked, "How does it taste?"
"Very good, Young Master Wen, you are really amazing. You can find it in such a remote place." Ji Zheng's home is only three or four streets away from here, but he never knew that there is a shop here that makes such authentic chicken, duck and music.
Wen Liang poured him a cup of tea and said, "It's not that I'm great, I just wanted to find a quiet place for us to have a good chat. I happened to see the proprietress greeting customers at the door. I heard that she had a strong Hanting accent, so she must be a local. But I didn't expect that she could make Hanting's famous food chicken, duck and music so authentically... Maybe this is what they call a blessing in disguise!"
Ji Zheng had just picked up a piece of pork belly, and his hand trembled slightly when he heard the words, and the fragrant pork belly fell with a plop, splashing a few drops of soup.
A blessing in disguise? Wen Liang certainly wouldn't be so bored as to say these words, there must be a meaning behind it. If Sai Weng lost his horse, what else would Ji Zheng have to throw away
Wen Liang ignored Ji Zheng's misbehavior and said calmly, "Tell me, what happened this morning?"
Ji Zheng put down his chopsticks and told the story. It was the same as what Liu Tianlai had reported. Wen Liang did not comment and smiled, "Well, I thought you really didn't bother with He Xiaobo anymore. You were humble and modest, trying to calm people's hearts and put the overall interests of Qinghua Factory first. In the end, you still want to boil the frog in warm water and slowly discipline him..."
"Master Wen, I waited until I was sure that I could control the situation in the factory and had the confidence to ignore the resistance and carry out the reform before I took action against He Xiaobo. Otherwise, I would have asked him to pack up and leave on the first day I returned to Qinghua Factory!"
Wen Liang's face turned cold, and he slammed the table. His boxing skills were now a little better, and his strength was so great that the whole tabletop shook. He said, "So I have to thank you?"
Ji Zheng stood up in shock, hesitating, "No... I mean, I dare not miss work..."
"You dare not miss work? Director Ji, do you know how many good things we said to Xu Fuyan in order to let you take this position? Letting you take charge of Qinghua Factory is equivalent to putting my father's future on you, and the result is such a situation, and you still have the nerve to say that you dare not miss work?"
Ji Zheng's face was pale, he lowered his head and said nothing. Wen Liang sneered and said, "I know you are dissatisfied in your heart. Yes, a real man should complain when he has grievances and take revenge when he has grudges. Even if you personally destroyed He Xiaobo, it is just a trivial matter. I am too lazy to even ask. Since you dare to put you in the Qinghua Factory, I am not afraid of you to punish him. If you don't have this responsibility, I don't have the face to sit here and scold you!"
Ji Zheng raised his head and asked in confusion: "Where... where..."
"You still don't understand, right?" Wen Liang narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll tell you clearly, the reason I lost my temper is because you're still lying! Director Ji, the night we met, you didn't tell me much truth, and today, at this point, you're still lying to me! Who is He Xiaobo? Just because you fired him and investigated him, he dared to carry a detonator and die together with you? If he had this kind of backbone, he wouldn't have sold you out to Yuan Dazhu for a little bit of profit!"
These words were merciless. Different methods should be used to deal with different people. For a habitual offender like Ji Zheng, the effect of indirect attack is extremely limited. It is better to be straightforward and stern so that he will remember it.
Wen Liang seemed to be furious, but in fact there was no ripple in his heart. His so-called indifference and rage were nothing but political tactics and schemes!
Ji Zheng's heart sank. What he did should not be known to outsiders, but from Wen Liang's expression, it was obvious that he knew something. He dared not hide it anymore and whispered, "Mr. Wen, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but this matter involves Su Rui, so I can't say it. Before you beat He Xiaobo away that day, he, he told Su Rui..."
Wen Liang saw that he was full of cruelty when he mentioned He Xiaobo, and he almost wanted to eat him alive. He couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand, and said, "Sit down, there's no need to talk about what happened that time. I just want to know, besides these things on the surface, what else did you do to He Xiaobo this time?"
Ji Zheng was silent for a while, then said, "I asked Qin Yong to seduce his wife, and took a photo and threw it in his face..."
Wen Liang was stunned!
It turned out that after Ji Zheng regained his freedom, Su Rui told him everything He Xiaobo said and did when he came to their house that day. There is nothing in the world that can anger a man more than being imprisoned because of his brother's betrayal and almost losing his wife's innocence. Ji Zheng has never been a good man. With the hatred of betrayal and the shame of humiliating his wife, with his character, he will never give up until He Xiaobo's family is destroyed and his reputation is ruined.
So after Ji Zheng took charge of the Qinghua Factory, he first interviewed He Xiaobo and declared that he would not hold him responsible for past mistakes. Then he continued to entrust him with important tasks. This would dispel He Xiaobo's concerns and keep him by his side to facilitate the search for opportunities to rectify the situation. Secondly, it would stabilize people's hearts and control the Qinghua Factory in the shortest time to consolidate his position. For more than a month, everything went smoothly until Wen Liang introduced Qin Yong to the factory. After a few days, Ji Zheng suddenly discovered that Qin Yong had a talent. No matter what age group of women, he could immediately become old acquaintances. In addition, he was tall and strong, sweet-mouthed, and had served in the army. Soon he became a veritable friend of women in the Qinghua Factory.
Once, Ji Zheng saw Qin Yong chatting with He Xiaobo's wife Liu Meng, who was a warehouse manager in the factory. When she was young, she had a decent figure and appearance, but after giving birth, she became fat and was too lazy to dress up. She was just an ordinary middle-aged woman. He Xiaobo disliked her for being old and ugly, and they quarreled all day long. The relationship between the couple was very ordinary. Qin Yong was a quick talker, and he was not picky about meat or vegetables, and had a good appetite. He could make Liu Meng's mouth open with just a few words, and she would hit Qin Yong with her hands from time to time. The look in her eyes was like a young girl in love.
Ji Zheng took notice of this and transferred Qin Yong from the security department to be his driver. He gave him alcohol and cigarettes at will. He used all his means to completely subdue Qin Yong in a few moves. At this time, the Qinghua Factory was also stabilizing, and various reforms were proceeding in an orderly manner. Seeing that the time was ripe, Ji Zheng hinted to Qin Yong to hook up with Liu Meng. One of them was good at flattery and had ulterior motives, while the other had been alone for a long time, so they soon had a real relationship.
This relationship had been kept secret from He Xiaobo for almost a month. Ji Zheng even had Qin Yong take some revealing photos, and then began to focus on checking He Xiaobo's accounts during his tenure as the director of the Production Planning Section. As one of the most important departments of Qinghua Plant, if he wasn't a little greedy, wouldn't it be a discredit to the cadres? Naturally, it was easy to find out the flaws, and the news began to spread in the factory. Everyone was scolding He Xiaobo for being black-hearted and rotten-hearted. Everyone was staring at the fact that they couldn't even make ends meet, and they all wanted to improve the efficiency of Qinghua Plant and save the pride of Qingzhou that belonged to generations. But you dared to embezzle and misappropriate money? Isn't this pouring gutter oil into the engine, putting a tight ring on Sun Wukong, and hindering his progress
Public opinion was furious, and Ji Zheng fanned the flames, secretly spreading rumors that He Xiaobo should not only be fired from his post, but also be handed over to the judiciary. He Xiaobo finally had nowhere else to turn, and went to Ji Zheng's office overnight to ask for a meeting. He knelt on the floor with his face swollen, saying that he could return the embezzled money and give up his job, but only asked that he be let off and not go through legal procedures.
This was a common thing back then, and many state-owned enterprises handled it this way. After all, it was better to leave a way out for others so that they could meet again in the future. Generally, the most they could do was to dismiss them from their posts, and it would not get to this point. He Xiaobo didn't know that Su Rui had already told Ji Zheng about his threats that day, and he thought that as a woman, it was difficult for her to speak up for such humiliation. This was also because Ji Zheng's previous tolerance made him misjudge. If he really knew about that, which man would wait until today to make trouble
He Xiaobo had a glimmer of hope. Didn't he betray you in the beginning? But in the end, you didn't suffer any loss and even turned a disaster into a blessing and ascended to the position of factory director. I have offended you, okay, I admit it. I don't want the money or the job anymore. It's okay to just leave the house with nothing like a drowned dog, right
He Xiaobo never thought that Ji Zheng would not only torture him in the real world, but also completely destroy him spiritually! Not only would he beat him when he was down, but he would also peel off a layer of his skin!
When He Xiaobo beat himself until his face was covered in blood, Ji Zheng sat steadily in the boss chair behind the desk, looking expressionlessly at the man kneeling on the ground, with the feeling of "once the power is in hand, the revenge will be settled with satisfaction" filling his heart.
I still remember how I was kicked into that suffocating hell, how I said such shameless words to my own daughter, how I lowered my head, bent my waist, pitiful, whining, angry, powerless, blood flowed from my mouth into my lungs, and then poured into my eyeballs, and the whole world was only one color.
Bloody red!
People who haven't experienced it won't understand Ji Zheng's mood at this moment. He pulled out the photos from the drawer, waved his hand, and sprinkled them in front of He Xiaobo. His voice was so cold that it could almost freeze the summer sun. He said: "Tomorrow, these photos will appear in the most crowded places in Qinghua Factory. Not only will you go to jail, but you will also wear this green hat and be laughed at for the rest of your life! What do I care about your greed for a little money? What do I care about your position as a section chief? What I want is for your family to be destroyed, your reputation to be ruined, your wife and children to be separated, and your life to be worse than death!"
