Yu Shengnan never expected that Chu Yu's backer was Secretary Zuo, the top leader of Deyang!
Who is this girl that Secretary Zuo would personally call a grassroots police officer like her?
Yu Shengnan was flattered. Secretary Zuo gently instructed her to be realistic and do what needed to be done, regardless of the other party's official position or connections, and to be worthy of this uniform.
Yu Shengnan wasn't stupid. Secretary Zuo's words had a hidden meaning. Mao Guangyu did have some power, but there was still a vast chasm between him and Secretary Zuo.
Secretary Zuo told her to be truthful and that she wasn't afraid even though Mao Guangyu had the bureau chief backing him up.
Just as she hung up, another phone call came in. Yu Shengnan was just as surprised this time as before.
"Boss!"
The "boss" that Yu Shengnan mentioned only belonged to one person—former deputy director Luo Kangcheng.
Luo Kangcheng was Yu Shengnan's mentor. As soon as Yu Shengnan was assigned to the system, she followed Luo Kangcheng. At that time, Luo Kangcheng was just a squad leader, and she was just a naive young girl who followed Luo Kangcheng without knowing anything and was quite silly.
She was used to calling him "boss," and even when a new director came, she didn't change that title.
Luo Kangcheng became a vegetable a few years ago due to work-related reasons and lay in bed for several years. Yu Shengnan visited him every few days to fulfill their teacher-student relationship. She thought that her teacher would never wake up in this lifetime, but who knew that Luo Kangcheng would wake up.
"Shengnan, let's not reminisce now. We need to talk things over when we meet. I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor..."
Yu Shengnan heard the name "Chu Yu" from his mouth again. She was truly impressed. Who was this girl Chu Yu? Secretary Zuo protected her, Director Luo fawned over her, and no one wanted her to make any mistakes.
Yu Shengnan stared meaningfully at Chu Yu, tossed aside the notebook in her hand, and smiled at Zhao Dong:
"Zhao Dong, isn't this a bad idea?"
Zhao Dong was surprised that she dared to step forward, and he got excited too.
“What’s wrong with it? Yu Shengnan, don’t think that just because you’re more senior than me you can act like you own the place. This matter has been thoroughly investigated, and the director has spoken. What else do you have to say?”
"I not only have something to say, but I have a lot to say."
"Oh dear, you woman, why can't you understand?" Zhou Fangchun was getting impatient, feeling that this woman was inflexible. What kind of person was she! Daring to go against the bureau chief, did she not want to work here anymore? "This is Mao Xia's manuscript, it's Chu Xiang who's slandering us!"
Whether it's slander or not is not for you to decide!
"Why shouldn't I be in charge? Do you know who I am? Even if your bureau chief came, he'd have to treat us politely! You can't just frame my Mao Xia like that. If you dare treat us like this, I think you don't want to keep your job!"
With the bureau chief backing him up, why would Zhou Fangchun be afraid of Yu Shengnan, a mere police officer?
She's assertive, has powerful connections, and speaks without restraint. She dares to yell and shout even in the police station, almost throwing a tantrum!
Yu Shengnan laughed, slammed her hand on the table, and angrily said:
"I'm warning you, this isn't a place for you to throw a tantrum! If you dare to cause any more trouble, I'll lock you up right now!"
Zhou Fangchun was furious that she was so stubborn and unyielding. Her sister-in-law's father was a high-ranking official in Beijing. This lowly policeman didn't want to work anymore! Did she even know who she was?
Mao Guangyu thought she couldn't tell the difference between what's important and what's not. Zhou Fangchun was good in every way, but she was too stupid. She didn't even consider the occasion. She dared to talk like that here, and she would cause trouble for others sooner or later.
Mao Guangyu pulled her aside and smiled at Yu Shengnan:
“Xiao Yu, right? Your bureau chief and I are old acquaintances. We’ll be seeing each other all the time. You can’t handle this like this.”
With Secretary Zuo backing her up, how could Yu Shengnan be afraid of him?
Although Luo Kangcheng was only a deputy director, he had made great contributions before he was injured and should have been promoted. Unfortunately, he became a vegetable and no promotion was possible.
Now that Luo Kangcheng has woken up, he will return sooner or later. With his glory, he will surely rise to a higher position. Why would Yu Shengnan be afraid of Mao Guangyu's threats?
She said in a businesslike manner, "Director Mao, this is not a place for personal relationships. We must be professional. Since the manuscript was lost in the hands of Secretary Zhao and Luo Changgeng, according to procedure, I will interrogate them. Only after the interrogation is clear can we find out who the manuscript really is. If you have nothing to do, Director Mao, you can wait outside."
Mao Guangyu's face changed, but Yu Shengnan showed him no respect and brought Secretary Zhao in amidst the stunned silence of her colleagues.
Secretary Zhao was a seasoned veteran, but on his first visit to the bureau, Yu Shengnan was ruthless, relentlessly interrogating him about every detail. No matter how capable Secretary Zhao was, he couldn't withstand the constant questioning.
By late afternoon, I was starting to feel the strain.
Yu Shengnan used both threats and inducements to finally get him to talk. Luo Changgeng also told the truth, and it was now a certainty that Mao Xia had plagiarized the manuscript.
After the matter was settled, Mao Xia was stunned and stared at Yu Shengnan for a long time without saying a word.
Yu Shengnan glanced at her with a stern face.
"Mao Xia, think this through. Plagiarism isn't a big deal. If you confess, we'll suggest you settle it privately, and there won't be any other punishment. But if you're stubborn and take it to court, it will affect your college entrance exam and your job search. This stain will follow you for life. You need to think this through!"
Mao Xia finally tensed up. She rubbed her hands together and stared helplessly at the cement floor.
She always listened to Zhou Fangchun. Now that Zhou Fangchun wasn't around, she didn't know how to cover up the lie. Was what Yu Shengnan said true? Would this stain follow her for life and affect her exams and work?
"Secretary Zhao and President Luo have both confessed, and you still won't admit it? I'm warning you one last time: the provincial TV station reporters have already obtained filming rights, and they'll be coming in to interview you soon! Lies can't become truth. Once this blows up and spreads throughout the province, more and more people will come to investigate the truth, and then things will get out of control!"
Mao Xia panicked, but remembering Zhou Fangchun's words, she knew she couldn't admit it no matter what.
As long as she insists that she wrote the book herself, no one will be able to discover the truth.
When the reporter came in, Mao Xia insisted, "I didn't plagiarize. I wrote this book!"
This matter involves many people. Originally, the reporter only wanted to interview the genius girl, but it ended up at the police station. She had just consulted with her superiors and wanted to do a special feature.
Somehow, the leaders got in touch with Deyang, and Deyang is going to collaborate with the provincial TV station on an anti-corruption special!
This project was conducted in secret.
The higher-ups meant that the anti-corruption campaign should start by investigating those close to corrupt officials, and they wanted her to use the title "The Man Behind the Prodigy Girl" to kick things off.
This matter has really blown up; it's beyond Mao Xia's control now.
The reporter stared at the girl with a complicated expression.
Plagiarism is disgusting enough, but if her father also embezzled and accepted bribes, then he is a disgrace to public servants.
This family clearly stole someone else's things, yet they act so self-righteously and turn around and accuse others.
Does having power and influence mean you can do whatever you want?
He stole from others and ended up burning down his own house! Serves him right!
The reporter's eyes turned cold, and he smiled: "But Secretary Zhao of the publishing house has already admitted that your parents gave him a sum of money to change the author's name to yours."
