Ji Zheng!

These two words were written on the title page of the black leather diary. The strokes were elegant and flying at the beginning, and vigorous and vigorous at the end. These two small words revealed the owner's ambition and ambition. But how could such a person be willing to be a small person who was marginalized under the pressure of the factory director Yuan Dazhu? It was almost inevitable that he would do something to make Yuan Dazhu unhappy in private.

The strange thing is that this should be the first time Wen Liang saw this name, but he felt a little familiar with it. Memories flashed through his mind like movie clips, and many images gradually became clearer from blurry in the overlap of past and present lives. Just when he was flipping through his diary, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this name.

Wen Liang clearly remembered that in his previous life, it was Fan Heng'an who took over most of the high-quality assets at a very low price after the Qinghua Factory went bankrupt. He obtained a large amount of cash through a series of financial operations such as mortgaging the land of the Qinghua Factory and introducing foreign investment. He already had an industry in daily chemicals and had the advanced production equipment and technical information of the Qinghua Factory. After production conversion and optimization, and with management methods different from those of state-owned enterprises, he quickly recovered. In just two years, his momentum was even greater than before, and his status in Jiangdong Province was close to that of Gu Shitong.

In the global economic crisis of 1997, Fan Hengan had problems with capital turnover because he had spread his business too wide. After raising funds from many sources, he still suffered the serious consequence of a broken capital chain, and many problems hidden behind the scenes were exposed. In early 1998, the charges identified by the prosecutors involved dozens of crimes such as bank loan fraud, money laundering, gang involvement, tax evasion and illegal fundraising. The legendary figure who was once famous fell. Later, under the manipulation of some people, many laid-off workers of Qinghua Factory, led by the former deputy director Ji Zheng, also petitioned collectively, demanding a thorough investigation of the inside story of the factory being sold at a low price, and thoroughly investigating the responsibility of the former director Yuan Dazhu, pointing the finger at Zhou Yuanting and Fang Mingtang, which caused an uproar in Qingzhou and attracted great attention from the province.

Despite the strong will of all sectors in Qingzhou, after some bargaining, the relevant provincial leaders believed that reform is like crossing the river by feeling the stones, and that tuition fees should be paid and mistakes should be allowed. Zhou Yuanting, as the main promoter of the bankruptcy and reorganization of Qinghua Plant, ended up with nothing. He was transferred to Guanshan to become the last-ranked deputy mayor. Although his political future became bleak, he escaped unscathed. With the precedent of Zhou Yuanting, Fang Mingtang, who seemed to have nothing to do with Qinghua Plant, could have retired safely by resigning from his position as the director of the People's Congress, but for some reason he was deeply involved in the Fan Hengan case and could not get out. The former king of Qingzhou ended up like Fan Hengan, imprisoned and completely out of people's sight.

When Fan Hengan first took over the Qinghua Plant in 1995, the city vigorously promoted his move as helping the government solve problems and making outstanding contributions to Qingzhou's economic development regardless of personal gains and losses. Now it seems so ironic! So someone needs to take the blame. Zhou Yuanting was transferred out of the leadership position, so the main responsibility naturally fell on Yuan Dazhu.

The results of the investigation were not very convincing. Although Ji Zheng retained a number of evidences, many accounts had been destroyed during the restructuring that year, and the authenticity could not be verified. Yuan Dazhu was eventually removed from all party and government positions and sentenced to three years in prison. The matter was thus left unresolved.

All of this was the most sensational event in Qingzhou at that time. Wen Huaiming had offended Zhou Yuanting at that time and had been sent to the Quality Supervision Bureau as an assistant researcher, but after all, he was still a member of the Qingzhou officialdom. Although Wen Liang did not pay special attention to this matter, he also learned a lot from his father.

As for Ji Zheng, it was also the first time he heard about him at that time. After the incident, Wen Liang heard Wen Huaiming sigh with Ding Mei at home more than once, saying that Ji Zheng was really a character. He was first retaliated by Yuan Dazhu and left his job in disgrace, but then he endured for many years and saw the right opportunity to overthrow Yuan Dazhu and avenge the past. He was really an extraordinary person. The implication was that he was quite self-deprecating for being forced to this point by Zhou Yuanting but unable to resist.

No matter what, in that event that changed the fate of many people, Ji Zheng was just an insignificant little person, and he had forgotten about it after hearing about it that year. If Wen Liang hadn't seen this diary and this name at this moment, which brought back many memories related to the Qinghua Factory, he would never have thought that Ji Zheng was Ji Su's father.

This couldn't be blamed on Wen Liang's slowness. Whether in his past life or this life, he had never paid any extra attention to Ji Su and knew nothing about her family background. If he hadn't been planning the Qinghua Factory with his father recently, he wouldn't have been able to connect the two so quickly.

Now that he has figured this out, Wen Liang is 70% sure that Ji Zheng was framed, and the reason is most likely because he did something that made Yuan Dazhu uneasy.

So he looked at Ji Su's hopeful eyes, wanting to give this already very weak girl full confidence: "Yes, I'm sure!" Then he raised the diary in his hand, "After reading this, I even know the reason why your father was framed. Don't worry, as long as we find someone who can help, this matter can be resolved quickly."

"But I read the diary and didn't find anything..."

Of course, nothing could be found in the diary. How could a smart man like Ji Zheng say so much in the diary? The whole diary was just about trivial matters of the Qinghua Factory and complaints of a literary nature. However, in order to fool Ji Su, Wen Liang could only act like a charlatan and said, "If you could see it, you wouldn't be so stupid to ask for help."

Even though Ji Su was full of thoughts, he was speechless. Xu Yao kicked him and said tenderly, "You are looking for death!"

Wen Liang smiled and said, "I'm used to it. Actually, I have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't be offended, Ji Su."

Ji Su knew that the two of them were joking around to distract him from his thoughts. Although he was powerless, he still managed to put on an almost invisible smile: "It's okay..."

Wen Liang saw that the effect was not good. He knew that at his age, these words were not convincing, so he had to use his future father-in-law as a bargaining chip again, pointing at Xu Yao and saying: "Xu Yao's father is my future father-in-law - Xu Fuyan!"

If Xu Fuyan knew that he was insulted by this kid twice in one day, not only would he be furious, but at least from now on, he would have to add two words to the name of future father-in-law: future violent father-in-law.

This time the effect was immediate. The surprise on Ji Su's face was the first expression of a living person she had shown since she came back from the rooftop. Seeing Xu Yao nod affirmatively, Ji Su leaned back on the sofa, and two lines of tears finally flowed down.

This was the first time she had cried since her father's accident. After several transitions between extreme sorrow and joy, even a Transformer couldn't hold back. In her young age, she thought that with the help of the municipal party secretary, everything could be solved in Qingzhou. She relaxed and fell asleep on the sofa.

Xu Yao took a quilt from the bedroom and covered her with it, sitting beside her and looking at Ji Su's pale face. In just a few days, this girl who always gave people a generous, beautiful, gentle and quiet feeling had become as haggard as a lotus flower hit by rain. Xu Yao reached out and gathered the hair on the side of Ji Su's face to one side, and sighed softly.

"Wen Liang, I understand that you just wanted to comfort Ji Su. But I'll tell you the truth, even if I mentioned this to my father, he might not care..."

Wen Liang smiled and said, "What if Ji Zheng was framed, and he still doesn't care?"

Xu Yao was silent for a while, and a trace of helplessness and sadness suddenly appeared on her face, which was always cheerful and carefree: "Yes! He... He actually has a hard time in Qingzhou... No matter what, I will always respect and love him..." As if she was afraid that Wen Liang would look down on his father because of this, or that she was afraid that he would look down on her because of this, Xu Yao turned her head away and never looked back again.

Wen Liang wanted to play a joke on her. Didn't she know Xu Fuyan as well as Xu Yao? Xu Fuyan didn't ignore him. He would only take action when necessary, for necessary reasons and with necessary chances of winning. There was nothing wrong with that.

And these three things will naturally be given to him by Wenliang!

However, he did not expect that in the face of the girl's ever-changing mind, his supreme skill of being gentle and understanding, which was far superior to that of the wretched uncle and the goldfish man, could only end in tears. He walked forward, gently embraced Xu Yao in his arms, stroked her long hair, and whispered: "He is a good father and a good father-in-law. I also respect him..."

Xu Yao, who buried her head in Wen Liang's waist, couldn't help but laugh. She raised her head with tears on her face and said shyly, "Go to hell!"

Wen Liang squatted down, reached out to wipe away her tears, and said softly, "Why are you crying?"

Xu Yao turned her head and glanced at Ji Su, muttering, "I'm afraid that one day, I will be like her..."

Wen Liang was shocked. It turned out that this beautiful girl who looked carefree was much smarter than he thought. He could no longer suppress his pity for her. He held her in his arms, whispered in her ears, and said in an extremely firm tone:

"That day will never come, I promise!"

Twelve characters, each one as big as a mountain!
