When Section Chief Wu got into Lu Jie's Land Rover, the two didn't chat much; after all, this was the workplace, and it wasn't convenient to discuss those schemes and conspiracies.
Lu Jie started his Land Rover and hurriedly drove away.
Shen Lei naturally couldn't follow them in his Mercedes off-road vehicle, but fortunately, he still had over 10,000 residual resentment points left.
He immediately used his mind to draw a lottery, "Ding dong! Congratulations, Master, you have drawn a super mini listening device.
This listening device has extremely strong adhesive ability, excellent concealment, and powerful energy, capable of receiving signals within a hundred miles."
Shen Lei quickly launched the highly adhesive mini listening device onto the rear of Lu Jie's Land Rover, sticking it in a very discreet spot that no one would notice.
Through this mini listening device, Shen Lei immediately heard the conversation between Lu Jie and Section Chief Wu.
Lu Jie said to Section Chief Wu, "Section Chief Wu, to be honest, I currently have a girlfriend, who happens to be Shen Lei's ex-wife under your command."
Section Chief Wu responded meaningfully, "I see..."
Lu Jie continued, "Section Chief Wu, this Shen Lei is really a piece of work. He treated my girlfriend very poorly before, abusing her and leaving her with countless scars.
I really dislike him, but there's nothing I can do; after all, he is a civil servant, and what can an ordinary businessman like me do to him?
But he repeatedly humiliates me and my girlfriend, making us feel very insecure.
I heard from a friend that you are his superior, but your relationship with him isn't particularly good.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so we are friends now.
I hope Section Chief Wu can unite with me sincerely to resist scum like Shen Lei, who is morally corrupt."
Section Chief Wu put on a righteous demeanor, "I didn't expect Shen Lei to appear so cultured on the surface while being so morally bankrupt; he truly is scum."
"Then I will join forces with President Lu to resist him."
Shen Lei couldn't help but laugh as he listened to the conversation through the listening device; who really was the scum here? They were truly the pot calling the kettle black.
The reason Section Chief Wu was willing to team up with Lu Jie was that he saw Shen Lei repair important files today, earning a second-class merit, and gaining the favor of the director and even the minister, making it very likely that he would replace Wu's position.
Thus, he regarded Shen Lei as a thorn in his side.
Inside Lu Jie's Land Rover, seeing that Section Chief Wu was quite agreeable, Lu Jie got straight to the point.
"Section Chief Wu, if you help me get Shen Lei out of the civil service, I'll give you 1 million."
As the head of the archives department, Section Chief Wu didn't have much real power and couldn't embezzle much money; bribery was out of the question, as his annual income was only a little over a hundred thousand.
This 1 million was equivalent to nearly 10 years of his salary, a huge sum.
Section Chief Wu wanted to agree, but he hesitated.
"This kid Shen Lei recently repaired a very important file, resolving many doubts in our police department's history.
The minister directly awarded him a second-class merit, and the director is also very fond of him. It will be difficult for us to kick him out of the civil service."
Lu Jie chuckled, "It seems Section Chief Wu thinks the money is too little; how about 2 million?
2 million should be enough for you to come up with a foolproof plan to deal with him, right?"
Section Chief Wu racked his brain and thought of what he believed to be a clever plan, saying to Lu Jie, "President Lu, the watch you're wearing looks quite high-end; how much is it worth?"
Lu Jie was taken aback, "This is a Vacheron Constantin; this model is worth over 1 million."
Section Chief Wu grinned, "Then my plan is this: lend me this watch, and tomorrow I'll take it to work. While Shen Lei isn't paying attention, I'll place this watch in his drawer.
At that time, he will be guilty of theft and will definitely be fired."
Lu Jie scoffed, "Section Chief Wu, after thinking for so long, this is the best plan you could come up with? That's a bit too clumsy, isn't it?
I wouldn't even use such a clumsy tactic in middle school; I used it back in elementary school."
Section Chief Wu was a bit angry, "President Lu, then what good idea do you have to kick him out of the civil service?"
Lu Jie thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a perfect plan, finally sighing, "I can't think of a better method for now; let's go with your old-fashioned method."
Section Chief Wu was pleased, "Although it's old-fashioned, it's very effective.
When I was young, I used this tactic to frame a classmate, forcing him to drop out."
Lu Jie handed over his Vacheron Constantin watch to Section Chief Wu, "It seems you really like this watch.
If you can help me get Shen Lei out of the civil service, or even send him to prison, I'll give you this watch and an additional 2 million."
Section Chief Wu was a bit cautious.
"President Lu is very generous; I'm glad to cooperate with you.
But I won't eat; it's better not to be seen together. I'll leave first."
At this moment, Shen Lei couldn't help but laugh.
He thought Section Chief Wu and Lu Jie would come up with some decent schemes to deal with him.
After all that, it was such a clumsy plan; it was truly laughable.
The listening device Shen Lei had just obtained, although very small, was quite powerful.
Besides having a strong signal, it also had a built-in recording function.
Wu and Lu thought that with such clumsy means, they could kick Shen Lei out of the civil service and even send him to jail.
But they didn't realize they were about to shoot themselves in the foot.
Shen Lei was now looking forward to the clumsy performance of these two clowns the next day.
When they realized they were the ones who shot themselves in the foot, their reactions would surely be entertaining.
Shen Lei didn't take these two clowns seriously; he was more focused on having dinner and dating his potential girlfriend, Li Xiaoyue.
If possible, he wanted to seize the opportunity and start living together tonight...
