Chapter 68: Busy as Can Be

  Wang Qian followed a few people back to the park management committee by car, shaking his head all the way. What to do? My brother is in trouble this time, 50 million yuan! The government will hold him accountable, and the bank will pursue his debt. If I can be sold to pay off the debt, it won't implicate my brother, I'll take responsibility alone.

  A few people returned to the Fuhai Industrial Park Management Committee, Wang Kun walked ahead with his head down, "Sorry brothers, whatever happens I'll take it on myself, just push everything onto me."

  Chen Gong realized that something was wrong, and Wang Qian had also been deceived. The so-called big boss was just a swindler. Wang Qian thought too simply, how could it be so easy to push the responsibility onto someone else? My administrative mistake cannot be escaped, and how could I let you take the blame? What do you have to bear the consequences with?

  The head of the discipline inspection commission is now very pleased with himself, see, see, didn't I say that there would be a problem? Yesterday you were so arrogant, now look at you, I'll dig up all the problems of your ancestors, "Comrade Chen Gong, it seems like you need to come back to the municipal discipline inspection commission with us and wait for the final result of our investigation."

  Chen Gong was naturally not afraid of what they would do, after all, he could call for reinforcements at any time. He was only worried that it would affect his political future in the southern province, which had just started to take off.

  Chen Gong smiled and said, "Suit yourselves, do what you want. If it gets too much, I'll just stop playing. It's really exhausting with so many people watching me. 'Leaders, go ahead and lead the way, I'll follow.'"

  Many staff members ran out of the office, whispering to each other, "It seems that Director Chen really embezzled money, what a pity, he's so handsome." "I knew it all along, not many officials are clean, Chen Gongping looked so upright and honest, now he's going in too." "Working hard every day, what did we get in the end? Working for the government is really heartbreaking."...

  Qinghe Town listed two crimes, the management committee had one crime, Chen Gong committed a total of three things, and the amount involved was at least 500 million yuan. Zhao Bo kept slapping his hand on the table, this is the kind of cadre that the party and state have cultivated, so young and already thinking about money, not discovered now but definitely will be a huge corrupt official in the future.

  Although Chen Gong was taken away by Fuhai Jiwei in a very secretive manner, the news spread throughout the entire Xin Qiao district within one day.

  Song Huiyun, being one of Chen Gong's three favorite concubines and the closest to him, was naturally the first to receive the news. Upon hearing it, Song Huiyun almost couldn't breathe, her stomach suddenly aching, and she squatted on the ground for a long time before getting up, with two water marks left on the floor in front of her eyes.

  Song Huiyun may be able to handle many things in Xin Qiao District, but in Fu Hai City, her power is too small. Deputy Director Mao Renguang has now entered the usual and speaks with confidence. He even took the initiative to find Song Huiyun and join forces to help Chen Gong.

  He Fei, the current Standing Committee member of Xin Qiao District and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, was called out by two people.

  Song Huiyun was anxious to save someone, and couldn't care about so many rules and etiquette. She took out two bundles of cash and said, "Director He, you should know the purpose of our visit today. We've worked together for many years, I hope you can find someone from the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission to intercede on my behalf, let me see Chen Gong, and in the future, the votes for the Standing Committee in my hands will also be inclined towards you."

  Mao Renguang also said, "He brother, my intention is to see if we can find someone above to help Chen Gong a bit, minimize the matter, don't affect young people, you know I'm not after fame or profit, just looking at this kid with favor."

  He Fei pushed the 20,000 yuan to Song Huiyun, "Director Song doesn't have to do this, I also think that kid isn't worth it. Let me think of a way, whether there's any news or if it can be settled, I'll get back to you."

  He Fei indeed put the matter to heart, immediately called a friend who was the director of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of Fuhai City Commission for Discipline Inspection, and got an inside message. This time Chen Gong's case is a major leader in the city who has made a call to investigate strictly, and now the judicial organs have been notified to intervene.

  Song Huiyun and Mao Renguang got the news and immediately asked He Fei to intercede for them, they wanted to see each other.

  Wang Qian, Huang Haibo, Li Fenghua and Lu Feng were discussing in a small restaurant. Wang Qian really felt guilty towards Chen Gong, took out a dagger and placed it on the table, "Let me die, I don't want to live anymore."

  Three people were in a hurry to persuade him not to take the extreme route, and Wang Qian also wanted to be busy with Chen Gong for a while, so he took the opportunity to make some small money, so he brought over that big boss who had been following him for a year but didn't understand much, now Wang Qian couldn't contact that boss at all, Wang Qian was thinking of rushing to the coastal area, to the headquarters to catch the person.

  "Huang Hai Bo said, "It's useless, you didn't even think about it yourself. A company with tens of billions would rent a 100 square meter office in a skyscraper? He took the 50 million and ran away early, do you think he'd still be waiting for you there?"

  These 50 million, in their opinion, Chen Gong is fundamentally unable to compensate the bank for. Lu Feng reminded, "Wei Jie still doesn't know about it, I think we need to tell her immediately and see if she can find a way to get her dad to help."

  Right! A few people, like waking up from a dream, Wei Shuqin's father is the mayor of Nancheng City, the provincial capital of Southern Province. With so many years in officialdom, he must have some powerful friends.

  Lu Feng immediately called Wei Shuqin, although she was still angry with Chen Gong, but now everything has become less important, the most important thing is that Chen Gong must be safe.

  It was destined to be a sleepless night, Wei Shuqin waited at home for her father who had not returned from entertaining outside, while Chen Gong thought about how to leave the small black house of the Discipline Inspection Commission without drawing attention.

  Wei Chengxu is now working in the southern city, but his home is still in Fuhai City, also for the convenience of Wei Shuqin's work. He had been thinking of marrying off this daughter for a long time, but after Wei Shuqin's mother passed away, the father and daughter relied on each other for decades, and it was really a bit hard to bear.

  Chen Gong had two plans, one was to directly find his father to deal with it, but the impact would be really bad, and his family would definitely cut ties with him. Everyone knew about his family background, so how could he still work here? The second plan was to ask Xiao Xingya for help, her connections in the southern province might be able to resolve this crisis, but there was no 100% guarantee.

  It was almost two o'clock in the morning when Wei Shuqin finally waited for Wei Chengxu to return home, and immediately went to greet him. Wei Chengxu was also wondering what had happened today, and tomorrow she still had to go to work, why wasn't she resting yet.

  Wei Shuqin was pouring water for her father, tidying up his clothes and massaging his back. Wei Chengxu knew that this little girl must have something to ask of him, "What's the matter? Spit it out! The sooner you confess, the sooner you can go to sleep. You still have work early tomorrow morning."

  Wei Shuqin immediately spoke out about Chen Gong's situation, and it wasn't entirely clear what specific wrongdoing had occurred, only that one of the incidents involved Wang Qian cheating people out of money. In short, they were asking Wei Chengxu to find a way to get Chen Gong out of this predicament, and ideally to keep his job intact.

  Wei Chengxu listened and got a bit angry. Actually, no one really understood Chen Gong's character. Originally, everyone valued his hard work and fearlessness, but it was possible that Chen Gong had indeed done something corrupt. "Daughter, if Chen Gong really has problems, you should stop associating with him. Do you think I, as the mayor of Nanshi City, have the power to let Fuhai City release someone? Moreover, I think things should be investigated properly, and one should not fear taking responsibility for their actions." After finishing speaking, Wei Chengxu got up and went back to his room to rest.

  Wei Shuqin was also absent-minded at work the next day. If Dad didn't want to help, that's fine. If something really happened, I would go ask Grandpa for help.

  Wei Chengxu was also tough on the outside and soft on the inside, so he called Luo Chuan, the Minister of Propaganda, knowing that they had a good private relationship.

  Luochuan was also shocked after hearing the news. Although he is a standing committee member of Fuhai, he usually doesn't know about the discipline inspection commission's affairs. So he said to Wei Chengxu, "Old Mayor, I'll ask someone to inquire about it immediately and see if we can help Chen Gong as much as possible. If the problem is very serious or I really can't intervene, I'll report back to you again. Goodbye."

  Luo Chuan and Wang Zhengyi, the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, were old friends. Before contacting him, Luo Chuan first talked to his brother Xu Cheng and told him the truth. Xu Cheng also secretly thought that Chen Gong was unlucky, and he had encountered such a thing.

  "Lao Luo, let me tell you, I only accepted the intention agreement for this 50 million yuan. If something really happens, I'm afraid my position as general manager will be unstable, and I'll have to go back to my original deputy position. But Chen Gong's loss of 50 million yuan in state-owned assets is unbearable, unless he pays it back, otherwise the consequences are unthinkable." Xu Cheng analyzed, he was also quite reasonable, didn't scold loudly because it would implicate him.

  Some people are indeed like this, as long as they acknowledge you as a friend, they can be stabbed in the back without any complaints.

  Luochuan knew that the 50 million yuan was not something anyone could afford, unless they asked Xiao Xingya for help. Although Luochuan had met Chen Gong through Xiao Xingya's introduction, no one knew about the relationship between Xiao Xingya and Chen Gong. Everyone in the inner circle thought they were just ordinary friends. Moreover, Luochuan knew that the reason Xiao Xingya invited them that day was because the mayor's daughter was accompanying Chen Gong.

  Luochuan didn't know that Xiao Xingya would go all out to help Chen Gong, so he didn't call Xiao Xingya either. After all, their relationship wasn't particularly close.

  Luochuan finally found Wang Zhengyi with a hard face, the two had a good relationship at ordinary times, but Luochuan knew Wang Zhengyi's temper, he was a straightforward person and handled things very strictly. In recent years, under his leadership, the discipline inspection commission could be said to have been unprecedentedly strong, and there were almost no cases of leaders asking for mercy. Everyone knew that if Wang Zhengyi didn't give him face, his own face would not be able to hold on.

  "Luochuan has never asked Wang Zhengyi for anything before, but this time for Chen Gong's sake, he also put on a thick skin. 'Old Wang, Luochuan, I have something to ask for your help.' What? You haven't even said what it is and you're already saying no? Are you out of your mind or something?"

  After much persuasion, Wang Zhengyi finally retreated a small step. Tomorrow, Luo Chuan will go in to take a look at Chen Gong. Luo Chuan is already very satisfied with this result. Wang Zhengyi reminded him, "Little Luo, don't let others know about it, the fewer people who know, the better. This case is being supervised by the city's main leaders, don't get yourself involved, impressions are important."

  Luochuan is very polite to every standing committee member in Fuhai City, including Secretary Li Xiuming. Luochuan has a good reputation outside, but there is one person he dares not to offend, that is Zhao Bo, who is from the provincial government and has no grudges against Chen Gong.
