She drawled her voice meaningfully, "If you keep going on about this, the security team will have to come and crack down on pornography!"
The neighbor aunt finally caught an audience who knew nothing. Her eyes lit up and her face was full of an irrepressible desire to share.
If these explosive official gossips do not spread through her mouth and spread throughout the streets and alleys, then she is not a qualified walking loudspeaker!
As Zhang Wei listened to the aunt's exaggerated description, he felt his legs go weak and the back of his shirt was soaked with cold sweat.
Years ago, he helped Director Zheng to reimburse several suspicious invoices. Will he be the next one to go to jail?
The red ribbon of the tea gift box was crumpled into a mess by his grip, but it was not as bad as his current mood!
When leaving the community, Zhang Wei went to the Construction Bureau's Shanghai office for some unknown reason.
Pushing open the familiar glass door, Old Liu from the office was making tea.
"Hey, Xiao Zhang! What brings you here?" Old Liu greeted him warmly.
Zhang Weiqiang remained calm and said, "I was just passing by and stopped by to see you." He asked casually, "By the way, Director Zheng has been..."
Old Liu's expression immediately became subtle.
He looked around and lowered his voice: "You don't know yet? Director Zheng is in trouble!"
He leaned in closer. "I heard it was because his ex-wife reported him for corruption and extramarital affairs. The Discipline Inspection Commission investigated and found out, wow, he owns properties in three cities and has multiple mistresses..."
On the return train, Zhang Wei stared out the window at the farmland passing by, unable to take anything in. When the conductor came to check tickets, he fumbled around in his pocket and unexpectedly handed over Director Zheng's business card.
"Comrade, here's your ticket." The conductor looked at him strangely.
"Oh, sorry..." Zhang Wei hurriedly exchanged his ticket and found that his palms were full of cold sweat.

Li Guifang smacked her lips. "Wow, boom! Over a dozen small yellow croakers! How many peanuts do I need to eat to count them?" She counted on her fingers. "One peanut for each one, that's still..."
"Mom!" Li Mingyuan interrupted quickly, "You can't just look at it that way. I won't be able to get out anytime soon anyway, so the director asked me to take over."
Li Jianghai squatted on the threshold, squinting at his son and saying, "When you're an official, the most important thing is to tighten your belt!"
Li Mingyuan immediately straightened his back and said, "Dad, don't worry. If I dare to do anything immoral, you can hit me with this pipe!"
Li Guifang suddenly remembered something and lowered her voice to ask, "Hey, you said Hu Meiling hasn't been here for so long, could it be related to this?"
Li Mingyuan looked around and moved closer. "It's hard to say. I heard that among Director Zheng's friends, there's actually one named Hu." He added mysteriously, "She's the third daughter of the Hu family in Shanghai!"
"Ouch!" Li Guifang slapped her thigh. "Is that the Hu family you mentioned last time...the one who got together with her brother-in-law?"
"That should be it!" Li Mingyuan curled his lips. "I heard that the news spread all over the celebrity circles in Shanghai. The Hu family had no choice but to send their son-in-law to work as an official in another place, and the third daughter was also sent elsewhere. As for why they got mixed up again, that's hard to say!"
These things are being spread throughout the government compound, and he doesn't know if they are true!
He made a dismissive gesture. "I know nothing!"
Li Guifang shook her head as she listened: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, these dirty deeds of rich people are even more exciting than the melodrama of Widow Wang's family at the village entrance!"
