Zhu Zhengyang was shocked, and Chu Zhonglin was even more scared and said incoherently:

"I don't have... Isn't the money refunded... I didn't accept it..."

"What's going on? Tell me clearly!" Fang Sheng said in a deep voice.

Chu Zhonglin was nervous and stuttered and couldn't explain clearly. Zhu Zhengyang quickly called his wife. Combined with Chu Zhonglin's narrative, he finally figured out the whole story:

Two months ago, when the restructuring of Dongyao Steel Structure Factory entered a critical stage, due to various reasons, Chu Zhonglin dealt with it, convened factory leaders and investors many times, and the town also came up with more preferential conditions, so that the two sides returned to the negotiation table. After six rounds of talks, they finally entered the substantive reform stage. Afterwards, Director Duan of the Steel Structure Factory was very grateful and gave cards, cash and gifts many times, but they were all returned by Chu Zhonglin. Director Duan was really persistent and actually found out Chu Zhonglin's address in the county town, and drove to his house with the Cai Chief. At that time, his wife was the only one in the family. He pretended to have communicated with Chu Zhonglin and left behind 20,000 yuan in cash.

Chu Zhonglin was very angry when he heard about it, so he immediately called Director Duan and fired, saying that he wanted to return it. At this time, General Cai said that it was too troublesome to get the cash back and forth, and it was not safe. It would be better to put it in the passbook and transfer it to the steel structure factory account. This way, there will be traces and it will be proved that it was indeed refunded in the future. Chu Zhonglin thought it made sense, so he asked his wife to do it.

Unexpectedly, my wife deposited the money in Chu Zhonglin’s salary passbook. Later, she remitted the money according to the account provided by the Finance Minister and did not check it again. She always thought she would definitely refund it.

Zhu Zhengyang immediately said: "There is always a problem with the financial resources of the steel structure factory! The cash that I already gave is not the reason to transfer money from the bank. You have stepped on the trap!"

"Check the passbook balance as soon as you go to work tomorrow to see if the remittance is successful." Fang Sheng ordered.

"How come the remittance fails?" Chu Zhonglin panicked and slapped his head, "Oh no, if President Cai intentionally accused him and deliberately provided the wrong account, the other bank found that the account name did not match the account number, and it is very likely that the money would be returned in the same way!"

"Once the 20,000 yuan is still in the passbook, you will be finished!" Zhu Zhengyang clenched his fists, "It's so fucking hard that I can't be guarded. Last time I... this time it was Zhonglin... Damn, damn!"

Chu Zhonglin said sadly, sat on the sofa with his head in his hands, unable to say a word for a while.

Fang Sheng pondered for a long time and said, "Hurry up, call Director Duan! You go to the next door and wait, I will talk to him alone, and find a recorder."

Half an hour later, Director Duan came in, and Fang Sheng said straight to the point: "Last time you gave Assistant Chu 20,000 yuan in cash, was he at home?"

Director Duan froze and said guiltily for two or three minutes: "It seems that I have caused trouble for Assistant Chu. I had the good intentions..."

Fang Sheng slapped the table: "It's all reflected on me, so I'm still kind! You're really accurate. 20,000 yuan is just enough to meet the criminal filing standards, and it's not enough to lose one yuan."

"No, no, Mayor Fang misunderstood, I really..." Director Duan was so scared that he shook his hands, knowing that things were getting worse.

"Stop talking nonsense, answer my question below. If you say anything, don't be vague! Who do you go to his house with and who will you meet?"

"With our factory's Zhoucai President, Assistant Chu is not here, and his lover is alone at home."

"Why did she take the money?"

"I lied to her and told her to have an agreement with Assistant Chu. If she didn't believe it, she would call. Mr. Zhou threw the money on the sofa and the two of them ran away."

"Did Assistant Chu call afterwards?"

"I scolded me and said I wanted to go home and send the money to the factory. Zhou Cai always said that it was too troublesome, so..."

"Did the money be returned to the account later?"

"I don't know, I forgot about this... Mayor Fang and Assistant Chu didn't want to collect money from beginning to end. It's all my fault, so I did it like this..." Director Duan slapped himself in the face with regret.

Fang Sheng thought for a while and said, "That's it. No matter who comes to know you in the future, you must reflect it truthfully as before. Do you understand?"

Director Duan asked uneasily: "How serious is this matter...?"

"You can file a case, how serious do you think?" Fang Sheng said angrily.

Then he called Mr. Zhou Cai again, and the above questions were still there, but Mr. Zhou Cai clearly flickered his eyes, his attitude was ambiguous, and his answer was vague, and he even said that he didn't know if the money had been refunded. Fang Sheng was too lazy to say more to him and waved his hand to let him leave.

The next morning, the bank opened, Chu Zhonglin's wife took her passbook to the counter to make up for the payment. After printing, she immediately collapsed to the ground:

The money was indeed not collected. It was returned the same way and had been kept in the passbook for more than ten days!

When the news reached Santan Town, Chu Zhonglin was about to cry but couldn't cry, so he quickly asked his wife to take the bus to send the money. Zhu Zhengyang carefully studied the testimony of Director Duan and General Zhou Cai and said:

"Even if the Commission for Discipline Inspection investigates, it can at least prove that Zhonglin did not collect money in person, and even though he returned foreign exchange, he had refunded money. On the other hand, the town's preferential policies were introduced to have no exchange of interests before Director Duan gave the cash."

Fang Sheng said: "The Discipline Inspection Commission does not think so when handling cases. First, they will think that Zhonglin deliberately avoids and asks his wife to collect money at home; second, refunds are also a play. When remitting money, they deliberately enter the wrong account, and actually put the money on the passbook and wait until the news passes before taking it. Third, during the discount, Zhonglin may make some hints, and Director Duan understands it."

Chu Zhonglin said in horror: "Mayor Fang, you won't... won't think so too, right?"

Zhu Zhengyang frowned and said, "Isn't this a way of imitating the Discipline Inspection Commission? Look at you're so nervous."

In the morning, Chu Zhonglin's wife brought cash, and Zhu Zhengyang accompanied them to the steel structure factory to refund the money. Fang Sheng walked around the office for more than ten times and took out half a pack of cigarettes.

At noon, Zhu Zhengyang looked for him alone and said ashamedly: "Zhonglin is my friend. Trouble is equivalent to me taking care of it. As well as last time, it really makes you very embarrassed. I just thought about it and help this matter as much as possible, but not force it to avoid hindering you. The county has a lot of eyes on you, and if you don't get it in, you will lose a lot."

"It was originally aimed at me, of course Lin had problems dealing with the whole process," Fang Sheng said calmly, "Secretary Han said it well, flies do not bite seamless eggs."

"Can Hou Ming do something wrong? I asked a few people to mess with him!"

"Let's talk about it later, solve the current problem first..."

Fang Sheng walked around a few more times - Zhu Zhengyang knew based on his experience that he would only turn around when encountering difficulties. Finally, he stopped and said, "Call Zhonglin, I want to showdown."

Chu Zhonglin came in uneasy. From yesterday to noon today, he seemed to have aged ten years old and lost his energy. How could he look like he was so energetic two days ago?

"You have to choose two paths. The first path. I will report the current investigation results truthfully and wait for the organization to handle it. But only the three of us are here. I can understand the truth. Secretary Han will protect you for my sake. I guess the Discipline Inspection Commission will say hello and finally end it with a punishment. However, my political career ends here and I will not be able to help you in the future."

Chu Zhonglin's face was dark, decadent and depressed.

"The second road, things can be calmed down quickly, and you will not be affected. You will be promoted to the deputy mayor in three months."

"Really?" Zhu Zhengyang and Chu Zhonglin asked in surprise at the same time.

Zhu Zhengyang knew Fang Sheng better and asked: "What's the price?"

Fang Sheng did not answer and asked Chu Zhonglin: "Which path do you want to choose?"

I have to say that of course it is the second one! Chu Zhonglin realized the preciousness of his career at this time and gritted his teeth and said, "Where do I have any choice? Of course, the second one!"

Fang Sheng said decisively: "Then go back to the city in the afternoon to go through the divorce procedures with his wife!"

"ah!"

Lin Ru was killed by thunder and stayed there.

Zhu Zhengyang reacted and said hurriedly: "This is necessary to clear your responsibilities. Think about it, the money was collected by her, and the remittance was also her fault. As long as she was willing to bear the mistake and agreed to the divorce, this matter would definitely be settled!"

"But," Chu Zhonglin said sadly, "She is innocent at all. Director Duan deliberately took the initiative to come to the door while I was not at home. The remittance account was originally wrong. How could I talk to her..."

Fang Sheng looked cold and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will be on the leadership group and send my divorce certificate at nine o'clock. I will hand it over to Secretary Fan with relevant materials; if it is out of date, otherwise I will be investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission!"

Zhu Zhengyang winked and pulled Chu Zhonglin away. When he went out, he heard him say "Divorce can be remarried even if he gets divorced." Fang Sheng smiled slightly and thought that among the five people, Zhu Zhengyang had the highest comprehension, while Chu Zhonglin was slightly inferior.

At 8:59 am the next morning, Zhu Zhengyang accompanied Chu Zhonglin to the conference room panting and handed the divorce certificate and agreement divorce certificate to Fang Sheng. Looking at the tired expressions of the two, he knew that they had spent a sleepless night. He didn't know how many good things he said and made in front of Chu Zhonglin's wife. He even had the possibility of making a written guarantee and even pulled Zhu Zhengyang to endorse the letter.

Fang Sheng did not delay and immediately took the full set of materials to meet Fan Zhenyu, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. After listening to the reward, Fan Zhenyu felt a little bit in his heart. In fact, Secretary Han had hinted yesterday that he would cooperate as much as possible and deal with it in a low-key manner, so he smiled and said:

"Mayor Fang investigated very carefully and carefully, the information was detailed and reliable, and the parties involved handled it decisively and promptly, so there was no big problem. I will send someone to check with the parties involved and draw a conclusion as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Secretary Fan." Fang Sheng stood up quickly to express his gratitude. Then the two talked about the coastal tourist belt. Fan Zhenyu "inadvertently" mentioned that a member of the leadership group was his relative, so he would take care of him if possible in the future. Fang Sheng naturally agreed.

Two days later, the Commission for Discipline Inspection made an internal investigation conclusion on the letter of complaint, believing that Chu Zhonglin had no subjective motivation to accept bribes and objectively did not have the fact of accepting bribes. The main reason was that his wife (divorced) was improperly dealt with, and was not familiar with the remittance process, and had admitted the mistakes to the relevant departments. The Commission for Discipline Inspection believed that the leadership team of Santan Town should strengthen the ideological education of cadres, not only to keep themselves clean, but also to instill common sense in their family with common sense of rejecting bribes, improve risk prevention awareness, and prevent a few people with ulterior motives from opening gaps from the outside.
