Chapter 452 Can you live with yourself?

The freshly printed and developed photos were slapped onto Secretary Zheng's face, then scattered all over the floor.

Cen Yan's voice turned cold. "If Secretary Zheng wasn't involved in the buying and selling, then please explain why Yu Qingguo brought Shan Xianxian to you and why he gave you so much money. Secretary Zheng, you say you weren't involved in the buying and selling, then were you taking a bribe?"

"Don't tell me it's money I lent you. These days, who would dare to lend out their spare money, especially hundreds of dollars?"

Cen Yan's words completely panicked Secretary Zheng. He picked up the photo from the ground, his eyes wide with shock.

"You're despicable for having someone follow me?"

"If you dare to do something wrong, don't be afraid of someone taking pictures of you."

Secretary Zheng took a deep breath. "It's just a few photos. What can they prove? Shan Xianxian and I are relatives. This money is her gift to me, her elder. Is that not allowed?"

"Oh? So you don't know what my relationship with Shan Xianxian is, do you?"

"...? What's your relationship with her!" Secretary Zheng narrowed his eyes. Could it be that Shan Xianxian betrayed him? No, that's impossible. Shan Xianxian was brought by Yu Qingguo, and Yu Qingguo was also involved in this matter. To betray him would be to betray himself. That's absolutely impossible.

It could only be that Cen Yan and Qi Jingchuan, those two wolves and tigers, had already set their sights on him.

"Although I'm very reluctant to admit it, Shan Xianxian and I are nominally... sisters? Let's just say that for now. We were registered under the same household registration for over ten years. What relatives of hers do I not know about? Not to mention the kind who can casually give hundreds of yuan as gifts. Secretary Zheng, let me give you a piece of advice: be honest and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely..."

Secretary Zheng's expression changed completely.

“I admit that I did mention this to people, but I didn’t guarantee them that I would get the job. I just told them that I could arrange an interview.”

Then, during the interview, give them a little leeway to increase their chances of passing, that's all!

"If Comrade Cen were to turn on me over such a trivial matter, that would be far too harsh! You must know that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If Comrade Cen does this, who will dare to work for you in the future?"

At this moment, Cen Yan's face instantly darkened, and she suddenly shouted sharply—

"You're not allowed to try and take advantage of the situation, Secretary Zheng. Others may not know, but don't you?"

"The daily chemical factory prioritizes hiring people with disabilities and disabled veterans! The establishment of the daily chemical factory is to provide them with a way out and a future!"

"You're taking money to buy and sell jobs at the daily chemical factory. If you sell ten jobs, ten disabled veterans will become unemployed or even homeless! How can you live with yourself?"

Cen Yan spoke sharply and sternly, leaving Secretary Zheng speechless and blushing.

After a long pause, Secretary Zheng mumbled, "Didn't I just say this is just an interview opportunity? You could have easily rejected the candidate during the interview..."

"That's just sophistry!" Cen Yan had nothing more to say. "Since you're so stubborn and refuse to cooperate with the investigation, I'll have no choice but to hand you over to Political Commissar Lu and let him decide. Whether you go to jail or get shot for embezzlement and corruption, no one can help you then."

After saying that, Cen Yan looked up at Qi Jingchuan and gave an order: "Tie him up and send him to the political commissar's office. This matter has been investigated to this point, which can be considered an explanation to the leaders!"
