While waiting.
Ji Chang Ming arrived, smiling and greeting him: "Secretary Xu, long time no see."
Xu Zhao shook hands with him and said: "Director Ji, hello."
Ji Chang Ming turned his head, smelled the sour smell in the room, frowned and dodged away.
Then he said: "If you don't take this Lu Zheng Pin away, our procuratorate will become a beggar's den."
Xu Zhao said: "Sorry, it's my fault for not managing well."
Ji Chang Ming said: "You can't blame yourself entirely. Who would have thought that he, a bureau chief, would be so thick-skinned."
Lu Zheng Pin in the room was unhappy after hearing this, and said: "Director Ji, you didn't tell me this before. You promised me that you would find evidence of Xu Zhao's crime."
Ji Chang Ming's face changed slightly, and he said: "When did I say such a thing!"
Lu Zheng Pin said: "You know whether you said it or not."
Ji Chang Ming: "......"
Xu Zhao said: "It's okay, you are the procuratorate director, what else can you do if you don't find evidence."
Seeing that he was so magnanimous, Ji Chang Ming felt a little embarrassed and said: "I have no choice. Lu Zheng Pin reported you, and I can only follow the rules."
Xu Zhao first smiled slightly and said: "It's just work, you don't need to explain."
Seeing this, Ji Chang Ming also smiled, thinking that the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhao's tone changed, and he said again: "But I heard that Lu Zheng Pin's report letter had no evidence at all, not even a single clue, all of which were hearsay. Director Ji, can such a report letter be taken seriously?"
Ji Chang Ming's smile froze, and he said awkwardly: "Who told you that."
Xu Zhao said: "It doesn't matter who told me, just tell me, is it true or not."
Ji Chang Ming said with a smile: "That's not true. The report letter mentions some clues, and we will investigate."
He was puzzled: Only I and Hou Liang Ping have seen that report letter. Who told Xu Zhao?
Could it be Lu Zheng Pin himself?
"Since there are clues, and you have investigated for so long, have you found anything?"
Xu Zhao said.
"Well, not yet."
Ji Chang Ming thought: You have already cut off your arm, how can I investigate.
"Then your efficiency is too low. Are you not working hard enough?"
Xu Zhao said with a smile.
Being mocked in front of him, Ji Chang Ming was furious but helpless.
Fortunately, Hou Liang Ping arrived.
Ji Chang Ming, as if seeing a savior, quickly pulled Hou Liang Ping over and introduced him: "This is Xu Zhao, the secretary of the Jinghai Municipal Party Committee. This is Hou Liang Ping, the newly arrived director of the anti-corruption bureau."
Hou Liang Ping extended his hand and said: "Secretary Xu, I've heard your name for a long time."
Xu Zhao smiled faintly and said: "I've also heard your name, from Beijing."
Hou Liang Ping said: "It's the same wherever you come from, it doesn't affect work."
Xu Zhao pretended to be curious and said: "Lu Zheng Pin said when he left that he would report to you. Why isn't it you who came to investigate me?"
Hou Liang Ping was surprised and said: "He really said that! He did come to report to me first, but I had other cases in hand, so I let others investigate."
Xu Zhao said: "That's a pity. If it were you, you might have found evidence of my crime by now."
Hou Liang Ping chuckled and said: "You're really joking, who would want to be investigated?"
Ji Chang Ming smiled along, thinking: Xu Zhao is being sarcastic, you can't tell.
Xu Zhao's words suddenly changed, and he said: "Director Hou, let's have dinner together later."
Hou Liang Ping was surprised and said: "Have dinner with me?"
Xu Zhao said: "A few days ago, Secretary Sha told me to go on a blind date. I thought, since I'm going on a blind date anyway, why not find a girl from Beijing. Preferably someone whose family is in a high position, has connections, and is beautiful. Do you know any girls like that, introduce me to a few."
Hou Liang Ping couldn't help but laugh, his smile a bit strange.
He didn't know whether Xu Zhao was subtly mocking him for being a gold digger, or genuinely wanted to find a girl from Beijing.
Looking at Xu Zhao's eyes, Hou Liang Ping asked: "Are you sure you want to find a girl from Beijing?"
Xu Zhao said: "Sure, is there any problem?"
Hou Liang Ping thought: Fine, I'll test this Secretary Xu's feelings later.
So he nodded and said: "Okay, let's have dinner after work."
Xu Zhao said: "No problem, I'll treat you."
After that, the three of them chatted for a while.
Until Sha Rui Jin arrived.
"Secretary Sha."
"Secretary Sha, you're here."
Xu Zhao and the others greeted him.
"How's the situation?"
Sha Rui Jin walked to the door of the room, intending to go in and take a look.
But he was also disgusted by the sour smell and quickly retreated, grumbling dissatisfiedly: "What's going on, haven't you bathed for days."
Lu Zheng Pin, hearing that Sha Rui Jin had arrived, was excited and finally came out.
Xu Zhao took a look, and saw that Lu Zheng Pin's beard and hair had grown long and messy, as if he had been wandering for a while.
He saw Secretary Sha as if he saw a relative, rushed up and hugged Sha Rui Jin's legs: "Secretary Sha, I've finally waited for you."
Sha Rui Jin said disgustedly: "Bureau Chief Lu, what are you doing?"
Lu Zheng Pin looked up, with tears in his eyes, and said: "I want to report Xu Zhao. He colluded with gangsters, embezzled and took bribes, and even wanted to send someone to assassinate me. I have no choice but to hide here all the time. If I dare to step out of the procuratorate's gate, I will definitely be shot by his snipers."
The look of fear and grievance was very convincing.
Those who didn't know might really think that Xu Zhao was an evil criminal.
Hou Liang Ping frowned slightly, thinking: Is Secretary Xu really that bad?
Because Lu Zheng Pin was acting so convincingly, and he didn't know the specific situation, he really suspected whether Xu Zhao was persecuting this Bureau Chief Lu.
It can be seen that Bureau Chief Lu's actions did have some effect.
But Sha Rui Jin and Ji Chang Ming didn't believe it.
Because the two had investigated Xu Zhao and knew his situation.
Ji Chang Ming smiled helplessly, thinking: This Lu Zheng Pin is too exaggerated.
Sha Rui Jin looked at Xu Zhao and said: "Secretary Xu, is what he said true?"
Xu Zhao said: "Secretary Sha, we were still wandering around Jinghai City together two days ago. Do I look like that kind of person? If I wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have reached the provincial procuratorate."
Lu Zheng Pin immediately retorted: "That's because I'm smart, otherwise I would have been intercepted by your people on the way."
Xu Zhao didn't bother to explain and said: "You can say whatever you want, now Secretary Sha is here, you can appeal."
Lu Zheng Pin said to Sha Rui Jin: "Secretary Sha, you must not believe him, he is wicked."
Sha Rui Jin's face sank and he said: "Lu Zheng Pin, you really think I don't know about your affairs. When I went to Jinghai City for inspection, the entire Municipal Party Committee reported to me."
Lu Zheng Pin's face changed slightly, and then he cried again: "Secretary Sha, I was framed!"
Sha Rui Jin shook him off and said: "You are too shameless to be a bureau chief. You do this kind of shameful thing to evade investigation. Go back to work immediately, otherwise I will consider you to be absent from duty and dismiss you from your post."
Seeing his coldness, Lu Zheng Pin's heart sank, knowing that he wouldn't get away with it this time.
He wanted to hug Sha Rui Jin's legs again, but Sha Rui Jin dodged away and said: "Xu Zhao, if Lu Zheng Pin doesn't return to his post before the end of work this afternoon, I allow you to remove him from his position."
Xu Zhao said: "Understood."
Now Lu Zheng Pin was completely dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
