"Director Ge, you are really arrogant. I asked you to create a wholesale city and this is how you created it?" Director Gu's voice came.
Director Ge and Mr. Liu turned their heads in shock and saw Director Gu behind them.
Director Ge was so frightened that his face suddenly changed a little, and his mouth moved slowly: "Director Gu, why are you here?"
"Why am I here? I heard that your wholesale city has been built, so I came to take a look. If I hadn't come, I probably wouldn't know that Director Ge has such a big tone!" Director Gu said with a gloomy face.
Director Ge suddenly became angry and looked at Director Gu unconvinced and said, "Director Gu, since you gave me the task of building the wholesale city, why did Huo Chen go through the procedures to build the wholesale city?"
Director Gu got even angrier when he mentioned this: "Didn't you cooperate with Huo Chen at that time? That's why I approved the wholesale procedures for him.
How come you changed your mind again? Credibility is the most important thing in life. Is it right for you to go back on your word?"
"Director Gu, I have something important to say." When Xu Shengshun saw Director Gu, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
He ran towards Director Gu quickly and said, "Director Gu, Director Ge fired me because I embezzled money.
But I clearly didn't do it. Director Ge didn't bother to investigate thoroughly and convicted me based on just some photos. I don't accept this.
I want Director Gu to personally help me investigate and clear my name." Xu Shengshun raised his head and looked at Director Gu seriously.
Director Gu looked at Director Ge suspiciously, and Director Ge's expression suddenly turned a little ugly. Well, this brat did it on purpose.
It turns out that none of the Xu family members are good.
"Director Gu, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. I convicted him only after I got the evidence.
Look at these photos. I have already given him a lot of face by not publishing them." Director Ge said arrogantly.
Xu Shengshun shook his head and went straight to Chen Shaowen: "Director Gu, this is my cousin's former uncle.
He gave me that money to compensate my cousin’s aunt for the money she gave me.”
When Director Ge heard this, he looked disdainful and stared at Chen Shaowen.
Chen Shaowen looked nervous and secretly glanced at Huo Chen and Xu Shengshun. Under everyone's nervous gaze, he said directly: "Xu Shengshun forced me to give him this money.
I didn’t give it voluntarily at all. Xu Shengshun said he would help me get a good house, and then he forced me to give it.”
"Chen Shaowen!" Xu Shengshun almost yelled. They had clearly agreed on something, but Chen Shaowen changed his mind.
Director Ge looked at Xu Shengshun with a smug look on his face: "I wanted to show you some mercy, but you are so ungrateful.
In this case, I will make it clear to Director Gu here that I don’t care what deep relationship Director Gu has with the Xu family.
But since I am the leader of this county, I will do my job well, serve the country and the people selflessly, and never tolerate any corruption or bribery."
"Chen Shaowen, why are you talking nonsense? It was Director Ge who gave you benefits, right?" Xu Shengshun rushed towards Chen Shaowen with excitement on his face.
He raised his arm and was about to hit Chen Shaowen in the face.
Director Gu roared, "Xu Shengshun, what are you doing? Stop it."
Huo Chen immediately grabbed Xu Shengshun. If he really hit someone in front of the leader, it would be a serious matter.
"Cousin, the matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet. Even if Chen Shaowen changes his confession, I can make him tell the truth." Huo Chen said in a low voice.
Xu Shengshun suppressed his anger and looked at Chen Shaowen as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"Director Gu, the truth has now come to light, so let's leave Xu Shengshun's matter at that.
Mr. Liu at the side also said: "Director Gu, you are bullying me.
If you had known earlier that someone had already done the business in the wholesale city, why would you have contacted me to invest?
Aren't you asking me to do a business that will lose money? I have already invested so much money. Either you close down Xu's wholesale city.
Otherwise, you should compensate my wholesale city and give me all the money I invested.”
Director Gu looked at Mr. Liu and Director Ge and held out his hands, saying nothing: "Since I'm here, I will definitely handle the business of the wholesale city well."
"But right now I have other things to deal with. Someone wrote a letter of accusation, saying that Director Ge received a bribe from Mr. Liu.
So he changed his mind at the last minute and turned to cooperate with Mr. Liu. Director Ge may have to be under investigation during this period.
We will deal with the business of this wholesale city after the investigation is clear. "After Director Gu said this, he took Director Ge away directly, and not only that, even Xu Shengshun could not escape.
Chen Shaowen, who was standing by, saw the two men being captured and suddenly became frightened. Just as he took a step to escape, he was caught by Director Gu's men.
"Please come with us, Mr. Chen."
Director Gu turned around and took all of them away.
Director Gu has complete trust in Huo Chen and Xu Ying's character.
From the moment he left, he was on guard against Director Ge. From the time Director Ge changed his mind about cooperation to the time he cooperated with other people, Director Gu sent people to monitor it all.
Naturally, it is also clear whether Director Ge received any bribes.
When the matter was investigated, Director Ge remained calm, but Mr. Liu and Chen Shaowen could not stand the intimidation at all and confessed everything soon.
Director Ge still wanted to argue, but with the confessions of Mr. Liu and Chen Shaowen and evidence, Director Ge was arrested directly.
Not only that, the higher-ups launched an investigation into Director Ge and discovered that he had embezzled more than just one or two things.
There had been a lot of corruption in the town under his jurisdiction before.
Director Ge was soon arrested, and Xu Shengshun was cleared of the charges and continued to go to work.
As soon as he came to work, Director Ge's lackey immediately became unhappy. He ran over and started making fun of Xu Shengshun.
"Xu Shengshun, you are no longer an employee of our unit. How dare you come here? Do you want to be kicked out in public by Director Ge?" The man who spoke had a smug look on his face.
Xu Shengshun smiled faintly: "Secretary Liu, Director Gu has already helped me investigate my case.
I have already explained those photos clearly, but you may not know that Director Ge has been arrested for taking bribes." Xu Shengshun emphasized these words.
The man's face suddenly changed: "How is it possible? Xu Shengshun must have been framed by you, Director Ge."
Secretary Liu was so angry that he almost died. Director Ge had promised to give him a promotion and a raise. Now that Director Ge was arrested, he would not be able to get a promotion.
What if I get implicated by Director Ge again?
For the entire afternoon, Secretary Liu was so anxious that he was running around at his workstation.
After Director Ge was arrested, Deputy Director Wang took over the position of director. Xu Shengshun was also directly promoted because of his contribution to the wholesale city.
