Yao Shang's face turned red instantly. She didn't expect Fu Minzhi to be so outspoken after drinking too much. When she turned around, she saw Wen Liang's eyes shining brightly. He leaned forward and listened to the gossip with great interest. It was at this moment that he began to look like a young man.
Yao Shang rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, picked up the kettle with her bare hands, poured a glass of water, and advised: "Mayor Fu, you are drunk, come and drink some water!"
"Thank... Thank you... County Magistrate Yao," Fu Minzhi's eyes were dizzy, but he still remembered that the woman in front of him was not to be desecrated. He carefully took the cup of water and drank most of it in one go. The water dripped and wet the collar of his shirt. He stammered, "But I'm not talking nonsense. Lu Chunming's wife is more than ten years younger than him. She used to be... But she was the pillar of the provincial theater troupe. That figure, that little mouth, in her thirties, is the age when you can squeeze her and she will cum... Tsk tsk, I don't know how many people were plotting to get her behind her back, but Secretary Duan ended up getting her into bed..."
Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Yao Shang frowned and said helplessly, "Mayor Fu, you are really drunk."
The high-ranking official in Wuzhou City is called Duan Xing. I heard that he has a very upright official style, but I didn't expect that he is actually such a person. However, it is not uncommon for officials to fabricate scandals about leaders, so one can only believe Fu Minzhi's drunken words to a small extent.
Wen Liang wanted to ask more questions, but Fu Minzhi poured himself another full glass, brought it to his mouth, drank half of it, and then tilted his head and fell on the table.
After arranging a room in the hotel, the service staff carried Fu Minzhi to the bedroom, and Wen Liang and Yao Shang left together. When they got in the car, Yao Shang saw that Wen Liang was still thoughtful, and said with a half-embarrassed annoyance: "Mr. Wen, don't listen to Mayor Fu's nonsense. Secretary Duan is a serious person, fair in his dealings, and has always been respected. He would never do such a thing."
Wen Liang couldn't help but smile. He was actually thinking about something else, but since Yao Shang mentioned it, he asked, "What about Lu Chunming? Does he have a beautiful wife?"
This is not the end yet. Yao Shang gave Wen Liang a charming look, as if he also had fantasies about other people's beautiful wives. However, when she thought that she might also be someone else's beautiful wife, her pretty face suddenly blushed. She coughed lightly and said, "Minister Lu has always followed his leader... As for his wife, although I have never seen her, I heard that she is very beautiful. It's not a fault that she is beautiful, but Mayor Fu loves to gossip about her!"
As a beautiful woman, it is understandable that Yao Shang is disgusted by such rumors. Wen Liang wanted to say that flies don't bite eggs without cracks and there is no wind, but when the words were about to come out, he noticed that Yao Shang's cheeks were a little red, and he felt something in his heart and stopped talking in time.
"Yes, Fu Minzhi's character is not very reliable. No matter what, it is always in the wrong to criticize others behind their backs." Wen Liang agreed.
Yao Shang didn't know what to say when Wen Liang spoke so righteously. She was smart and knew that Wen Liang was hosting a banquet for Fu Minzhi tonight for Shenyu Company, but apart from these messy gossips, she didn't find any useful information. She frowned and said, "I went there for nothing tonight..."
"How can we call it a waste? Mayor Fu is not a good person, but he still knows how to handle things properly."
"Hmm?" Yao Shang was a little confused.
Wen Liang patiently explained, "Shenyu Company has many backers in Wuzhou, so Fu Minzhi first advised me not to provoke it. Later, seeing that I insisted, he took the initiative to mention Lu Chunming. Knowing that I had made up my mind, he pointed out a clear way to get close to Lu Chunming..."
"Ah, his wife!" Yao Shang carefully recalled the conversation between Wen Liang and Fu Minzhi just now, and was shocked. It turned out that such a simple two or three sentences contained a hidden secret.
"Yes, Lu Chunming is the propaganda minister of Wuzhou City, in charge of news, radio and television. The power in his hands is just right for the development and growth of Shenyu Company. If you want to find someone who knows the inside story of Shenyu, he is naturally the best candidate." Wen Liang smiled and said, "But Minister Lu is high up, and he will definitely not take me, an outsider, seriously. If you want him to cooperate with us, you have to think of some crooked ways. Ha, Mayor Fu is worthy of being an old driver who has been in the political world for a long time. He pointed out Lu Chunming's weakness with one stroke!"
The meaning of "old driver" was not yet popular in this era, and Yao Shang did not want to ask further questions. He said, "So, you really believe his wife and Secretary Duan, the two of them..."
Wen Liang shook his head and said, "The person involved in the scandal may not really be Duan Xing, but if we follow this line of inquiry, we will definitely get something."
"Why are you so sure?" Yao Shang was still a little confused.
Wen Liang did not answer the question directly, but instead asked in a gentle and persuasive way, "Why did Fu Minzhi rush to get drunk when he heard me mention Shenyu Company?"
"Get yourself drunk?" Yao Shang thought for a moment and said, "He doesn't want to be involved in this matter?"
"That's right, but since he didn't want to be involved in this matter, why did he reveal Lu Chunming's weakness to me without hesitation?"
Yao Shang thought for a moment and said, "They have a grudge against each other!"
"It's not necessarily a personal grudge," Wen Liang said with a smile, "I guess it's related to the factional struggle within Wuzhou. Maybe Fu Minzhi has secretly investigated Lu Chunming and has some evidence in his hands, but the time has not come yet, or the evidence is not sufficient, so he is forbearing to release it. Now that I, a victim, have come forward, he is naturally happy to use us to trick him."
After Wen Liang's analysis, Yao Shang's thoughts became clearer. She said with a fierce blow, "As soon as Mayor Fu arrived at the Wuzhou Municipal Government, he became the mayor's confidant, while Minister Lu is Secretary Duan's diehard supporter..."
"That's it. I told you that Fu Minzhi is a bit lecherous, but he's been able to thrive as the deputy mayor. He has his own schemes and tactics, and he wouldn't do it without a purpose."
Yao Shang was silent. She had been working in the officialdom for more than a year and had tried very hard to catch up with Wen Liang, but now she realized that she was still too immature. Not only was she far behind Wen Liang, but she had never looked up to Fu Minzhi, and was far from being comparable to herself now.
Still need to work harder!
Wen Liang drove Yao Shang home. When he arrived at the door, he saw that it was dark inside. He knew that Wei Yan had not returned yet. He didn't know whether he was busy with official business or fooling around with that female subordinate. He didn't like this beautiful woman, but this was a family affair between the couple after all, so he couldn't say much. He smiled and said good night, turned the car around, and sped away.
Yao Shang stood by the road, watching the car disappear into the distant night. She was alone, carrying a handbag, leaning against the courtyard wall, looking at the bright moon in the sky, listening to the sound of insects chirping by her ears, and slowly becoming dazed.
After returning to the hotel, Wen Liang went to take a shower first and asked Chang Cheng to call Ye Zhiwei. After changing into pajamas, Ye Zhiwei was already waiting in the living room. Wen Liang pointed to the sofa and asked him to sit down. He walked to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of Yishan water. While twisting the lid, he asked, "Is there any way to check on Lu Chunming?"
Ye Zhiwei was startled, and his butt that had just touched the sofa almost bounced up again. He asked, "Minister Lu of the Municipal Party Committee?"
"Besides him, is there another Lu Chunming in Wuzhou?"
Wen Liang made a small joke, but Ye Zhiwei didn't smile at all. He said anxiously, "Mr. Wen, Minister Lu is a favorite of Secretary Duan Xing..."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "That's why it depends on your methods, Mr. Ye."
Biluochun can now be regarded as a star enterprise in the entire Suhai Province. Everyone, from Wei Qiwen to ordinary people, knows about it. Ye Zhiwei is a wise man, smooth in his dealings with others, and has managed everything from top to bottom without any flaws. He has also woven a huge network of relationships in Suhai.
Ye Zhiwei hesitated again and again, and still felt that it was too risky to offend a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. However, he had always been an executor, not a decision maker. Since Wen Liang had spoken, he had to follow his orders even if he couldn't figure it out. He said, "Please tell me, Master Wen, how far do you want to investigate?"
"Until you think he'll do me a favor!"
Ye Zhiwei was stunned, but still nodded and said, "I understand."
Wen Liang stayed in Wuzhou for three days, and Ye Zhiwei's progress was very slow. It was not his fault. If it was an open matter that required connections, it could usually be done after following a few lines. However, there were too many concerns when secretly investigating an official's black material, and the difficulty increased by more than ten times. Despite this, Ye Zhiwei still found a shell company that was connected to Lu Chunming behind the scenes. Through this company, he should be able to find the way he accepted bribes, but getting specific evidence would not only require more time, but also more luck.
But Wenliang can't wait any longer!
"Zhiwei, arrange for a smart person to follow the shell company line, don't alert the enemy, and leave the others alone for now and don't investigate."
Ye Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief, but he also knew that Wen Liang was not the type to give up easily, so he must have found another way. After letting go of this thought, he thought of another thing. He secretly observed that Wen Liang was in a good mood, so he boldly said, "Mr. Wen, Cat Lady wants to see you..."
Wen Liang looked at Ye Zhiwei in surprise. This man was An Baoqing's confidant. He was always steady and adhered to the principle of "silence is worse than words". However, this was the second time he violated the taboo in the matter of Cat Girl. Last time, he let Cat Girl participate in the preparation of Guanshan Tea House without his consent. This time, he risked being punished and made suggestions. Could it be possible
But this shouldn't be the case. Although Wen Liang doesn't know the true relationship between Cat Lady and An Baoqing, it is definitely not ordinary. Is Ye Zhiwei so bold as to come and destroy the Qingzhou Godfather's stage
Wen Liang stared at Ye Zhiwei silently until he became restless and his palms were about to sweat. Then he nodded and smiled, "Okay, let her come over."
In fact, one of the purposes of coming to Su Hai this time is to meet Cat Girl. After all, I have to arrange for her to go to Mingzhu. It is not as simple as just changing her identity. Some things need to be explained.
Ye Zhiwei went there with gratitude. Wen Liang waved his hand and asked Chang Cheng to walk to the sofa and asked, "Can you drive a boat?"
"Speedboats, yachts, fishing boats, I can drive everything."
"Go to Taihu Lake and rent a fishing boat. It doesn't have to be too luxurious, but it has to be clean. Rent it for three days first. Keep it confidential!"
After Chang Cheng left, Wen Liang leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed, tapping the back of his legs lightly with his fingers, waiting for the cat girl to arrive.
In a trance, he could no longer remember what this woman looked like! (To be continued)
