"That bastard, did he win the lottery?"
Zhang Dong shook his head, muttered something, got out of the car, and walked upstairs.
As soon as I got home, I saw my wife, Cao Yan, looking at a contract with a smug expression.
Recalling his brother-in-law's guilty look earlier, he suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to snatch the contract.
Startled, Cao Yan quickly hid behind her back. "You, why are you back?"
Zhang Dong frowned. "What are you holding? Let me see!"
"No, it's nothing, it has nothing to do with you!" Cao Yan looked guilty.
"You're talking nonsense! I just saw Cao Wei arrive. Are you two up to something again?" Zhang Dong said irritably. He immediately tried to grab it.
Cao Yan immediately started acting crazy, "Zhang Dong, what do you think you're doing? Do you even want to be okay?! Dare to lay a finger on me and see what happens, or I'll divorce you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong immediately backed down.
He had considered divorce, but right now, both children were in school, the older one was abroad and the younger one was only in elementary school. He couldn't handle things at home and outside if he got divorced!
Cao Yan snorted, her face full of disdain, "I knew you were spineless!"
As she spoke, she wiggled her hips and went back to the bedroom, hiding the contract. Then she went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Zhang Dong smoked two soft cigarettes outside, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. While Cao Yan was taking a shower, he secretly slipped into the bedroom.
After rummaging through Cao Yan's dressing table for a long time, he actually found it.
However, upon seeing the contents of the contract, his mind went blank and he immediately felt a sense of unease.
"Cao Yan! You jinx, get the hell out here!" Zhang Dong immediately roared.
After a while, Cao Yan came out wrapped in a bath towel, her delicate eyebrows furrowed. "Why are you shouting? The child just fell asleep. What's the rush? It's only for a few minutes every day. You might not be tired of it, but I am!"
"Who the hell is being affectionate with you? I'm asking you, what's going on with this contract?!" Zhang Dong demanded angrily.
Cao Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly tried to snatch it, shouting, "Give it to me!"
Zhang Dong shoved her away, gritting his teeth, "This is a shareholding contract for Changhai Group. According to this ratio, it's at least several million in revenue every year. Are you fucking crazy? You dare to sign this??"
"I... I'm doing this for the family too. With your meager salary, how much money will you have after you retire? It won't even be enough to buy me cosmetics. I'm thinking about our future and our children's future, aren't I?" Cao Yan stammered, trying to justify herself.
"For the children's future?" Zhang Dong laughed angrily. "I don't think you're doing this for their future; you're ruining it!! If the disciplinary committee finds out about this, do you know what I'll face? It will be a catastrophe for our family!! The next three generations won't have a good future!!"
Cao Yan had never seen Zhang Dong so angry before, and she was a little intimidated. She pursed her lips and said, "It's not as serious as you make it out to be... Besides, this is Changhai Group. They have connections in the upper echelons of Yandu. They even said they could help you get a government position in Yandu!"
"Bullshit! You stupid woman, you actually believe that kind of thing?" Zhang Dong was speechless and felt like he was about to vomit blood.
"Do you think Liu Zhengxiang has no connections? If he didn't have connections, could he have become the city's leader? What happened to him? Now he's obediently working as a sewing machine operator."
"You fucking drove your husband to his death!" Zhang Dong pounded his head, feeling like he was about to collapse.
Cao Yan suddenly became a little scared and came over, saying, "Honey, is this really that serious? Wasn't the patrol over?"
"End my ass! The Imperial Inspector is still in Xidu!! He was personally appointed by the Grand Secretary, do you know how much power he wields? Let me tell you, isn't Li Mu powerful? And isn't that Wu family's eldest son, Wu Dao, powerful? He took them all down! Do you think your husband has enough heads for him to chop off?!" Zhang Dong felt like he was about to collapse. These past few days he had been extremely careful, walking on thin ice, just afraid that someone would find fault with him.
This woman is something else; she's sold herself out!
Now Cao Yan panicked completely. "Then, then I'll call Cao Wei right away and have him take back the contract I signed!"
Cao Yan immediately called her younger brother, Cao Wei.
"Hey sis, what's up?"
"Cao Wei, get that contract I signed back to me right now!" Cao Yan urged.
Cao Wei laughed and said, "We can't get it back. I just sent it to General Manager Wang of Changhai Group!"
"you……"
Before Cao Yan could say anything more, Zhang Dong snatched the phone away and yelled, "Cao Wei, you son of a bitch, are you trying to get me killed? Let me tell you, I'm not kidding, you better get the contract back right now, or I'll send someone over right now to arrest you and I'll personally report you!!"
"Holy crap, brother-in-law, are you crazy? Are you going to betray your own family for the greater good?!" Cao Wei was dumbfounded. He never expected Zhang Dong to react so strongly.
Zhang Dong took a deep breath. "I'm not kidding you. I'll go to the disciplinary office right now and confess this. You better get the contract back to me right now, or I'll have to send you to work on a sewing machine!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Dong didn't say a word. He put on his clothes, grabbed Cao Yan, and went out the door.
"Hey, honey, what are you doing? Can't you talk things out? Just wait for Cao Wei to bring the things back, then it'll be fine," Cao Yan said, her voice trembling with tears.
Zhang Dong sneered, "Get it back? Do you think that's possible? Your brother even drives a Porsche now, do you think there's any room for negotiation? Let me tell you, if we don't confess today, we'll both be singing 'Tears Behind Bars' at the police station tomorrow!! Our family is finished!"
"ah??"
Cao Yan was instantly stunned.
...
Half an hour later, the couple arrived at the disciplinary office together.
The parking lot was still quite full even at this late hour. Because of the special nature of the work of the Discipline Inspection Department, they have been dealing with a lot of people recently.
The discipline department staff had to work overtime until late at night.
After arriving, the couple went straight to the building.
Unexpectedly, before they even left the parking lot, a group of men in suits came over and stopped them.
Zhang Dong stared intently, his eyes widening slightly in surprise. "It's you?"
Wang Baoguo smiled slightly and said, "Director Zhang, it's so late, why are you coming to the Discipline Department? Are you here to turn yourself in?"
Zhang Dong's face hardened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "What do you mean I'm turning myself in? I'm here to report you! You bribed my brother-in-law and tricked my wife into signing a contract. I'm going to expose you right now!"
"Oh, really?" Wang Baoguo sneered, pulling out a letter of denunciation as well. He waved it around and said, "Coincidentally, I'm also going to expose you for abusing your position to solicit bribes from us through your brother-in-law. This also includes a phone recording of your brother-in-law, which is much more complete than yours!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong felt like he was going to vomit blood, and angrily exclaimed, "You, you're framing me!!"
