Huangdu Bathhouse is of a high standard and not many people can afford it. It was the time for evening social events and the reason why Li Xiuyuan and Zhang Juncai came so early was because they hardly drank any alcohol and came so early.
Soon, the two of them were soaking naked in the bathtub.
This is the time to be honest with each other. The mist is rising in the bathtub, and you can say anything you want.
Li Xiuyuan took off the hot towel from his face, looked at Zhang Juncai and said in a low voice, "I think this matter can be divided into three steps."
"Secretary Li, go ahead."
Zhang Juncai knew clearly that Li Xiuyuan had not spoken directly at the dinner table because he was on guard against him. Now that they were speaking frankly in the bathtub, Li Xiuyuan would definitely give him advice.
"The first step is to warn Zhu Wei. If you do this, I will arrange for someone to report me tomorrow to clear my suspicion. Then I will arrange for someone to report Zhu Wei and the deputy mayor of that remote township."
Li Xiuyuan spoke slowly. One must be on guard against others. Although he did this for Zhang Juncai, what if Zhang Juncai got a monitoring device or something and recorded his confession to threaten him?
This was discussed in the bathhouse, and both parties were frank with each other. After the discussion, if Zhang Juncai later accused me of something, I would directly deny it.
There is no evidence for this kind of thing. Who would have thought that a county magistrate's secretary would go to such lengths for Zhang Juncai?
Zhang Juncai nodded, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Secretary Li, you asked me to prepare the materials to report myself, and I have prepared them. But I don't have any materials on the deputy mayor in the countryside. Besides, he's just a runner-up, so is it necessary to bring him along?"
"You're confused." Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but say to Zhang Juncai, "Director Zhang, you've been in the system your whole life. Don't you know what a dark horse is? You've submitted your own report, Zhu Wei's has, and he's the only candidate left without any. If the county doesn't bother to intervene and just pushes him up, won't you be making things easier for them?"
"As for the claim that there's no reporting material, that's even simpler. Just make something up. It doesn't have to be true."
"Yes, yes, Secretary Li, I understand."
"The second step is to spread rumors. I heard that Zhu Wei visited Deputy County Chief Gu late at night. A single man and a single woman..." As Li Xiuyuan said this, Zhang Juncai shuddered and almost stood up from the pool.
If people knew that he spread rumors about the executive deputy county magistrate, Gu Fanlei would definitely punish him to death.
When Li Xiuyuan saw Zhang Juncai like this, he sighed in his heart. Zhang Juncai lacked self-control. One must be bold to do things. If you go forward, you will see blood.
What's wrong with spreading rumors about the executive deputy county magistrate? Gu Fanlei should have been aware of this when she was involved in this matter. Similarly, Zhang Juncai should have been aware of this when he participated in the competition for the director position.
If you are a tyrant, you must be cruel. Why would you expect others to be "gentle, respectful, frugal and modest"?
Seeing Li Xiuyuan's unfriendly expression, Zhang Juncai also reacted and said through gritted teeth: "Okay, Secretary Li, I'll do it."
"Director Zhang, this is for you, not for me, understand?"
"I understand, I understand." Zhang Juncai nodded repeatedly, looking at Li Xiuyuan with a bit of fear. This young man was too ruthless. No wonder he had such a great influence in the county government.
