Chapter 174 Arriving with Sincerity
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Zhiguo was so anxious that he kept scratching his head.
It's difficult.
He angrily dialed the bureau's office and ordered someone to bring back the van driver who had deliberately caused the accident, and interrogate him thoroughly.
Although it doesn't make much sense to do this, I was mentally prepared since they dared to make such an arrangement, but I still had to do what needed to be done.
The law must not bow to illegality.
Even if the result is not satisfactory, the procedure must still be followed.
Xiao Zhikai's classmate was already late. More than half an hour had passed since the agreed time, and he still hadn't arrived. Zheng Zhiguo was even more disheartened.
Left with no other choice, I dialed Xiao Zhikai's number again.
He's Xiao Zhikai's man; if he needs anything, he should go to his older brother. That's the right thing to do.
"Director Xiao, does your classmate not want to see me?"
I've been waiting for ages, but he still hasn't come.
Why……"
Xiao Zhikai helped with everything he could.
Xiao Zhikai was not happy that Zheng Zhiguo was somewhat dependent on him.
"You're here to ask someone for a favor, not to meet with your subordinates."
Wait, what's wrong?
I've noticed that you seem to be getting worse and worse.
Does becoming a bureau chief make you arrogant?
If you can't produce results, your time as bureau chief is over.
And you still have the nerve to complain?
After being thoroughly scolded, Zheng Zhiguo dared not utter a word, and he also realized his many shortcomings.
In his early years, he wasn't like this. He did get things done and handled several major cases.
Back then, I was young, energetic, and fearless.
That's why she gained Xiao Zhikai's appreciation.
As one rises in rank and ages, their professional skills decline; they seem to be regressing with age.
"I'm sorry, Director Xiao, I..."
Xiao Zhikai said in a very serious tone: "Don't apologize to me anymore."
I don't want to hear any apologies.
The cases of the county magistrate being attacked, the harassment and threats against Director Wu's son, and the drug-related case at Shengshi KTV have all made no progress to date.
The enemy is always ahead of you.
You've been given opportunities time and time again.
County Chief Chen only refrained from removing you because of my sake.
Of course, he hasn't seen anyone good enough to replace you yet.
After a while, if County Chief Chen takes a fancy to someone else, he'll replace you, and you won't even have time to cry.
You must produce a result regarding this matter in Pengcheng.
You should let County Chief Chen see if you can get things done.
Zheng Zhiguo, if you fail to accomplish this, you should resign on the spot.
Stop embarrassing yourself in public.
Xiao Zhikai has no regard for self-respect and his words are extremely hurtful.
If it's a loud drum, then naturally there's no need for a heavy hammer.
Xiao Zhikai would speak very politely to shrewd and capable comrades like Dawei and Wu Maocai.
He was disappointed and heartbroken by Zheng Zhiguo.
"Yes……"
After the leader hung up the phone, Zheng Zhiguo slapped himself hard.
Think again, why would David send him to do this?
There are only three reasons.
One reason is that he is a policeman with a certain level of combat ability, so he can protect himself while carrying out this mission in Shenzhen;
Secondly, County Chief Chen knew about his past relationship with Li Taoying, which is why Xie Liting was lenient with him. This was to test whether he was loyal to his own desires or to County Chief Chen.
Thirdly, this matter should be used to further test and control him. If the Pengcheng matter fails and no evidence is obtained of Li Taoying's dirty deeds, Zheng Zhiguo will be punished when he returns; if the matter succeeds and the evidence is obtained, Zheng Zhiguo will be seen as the one who did dirty work, and County Chief Chen will have something more to control.
Considering all this, Zheng Zhiguo suddenly felt a little afraid of Dawei.
Upon further reflection, Xiao Zhikai's complete obedience to Dawei demonstrates Dawei's competence.
I'm on the same side as Dawei, and following such a "boss" will only make me safer.
There's nothing to fear if you don't become David's opponent.
I sat there for almost half an hour.
Zheng Zhiguo finally received a text message from Xiao Zhikai's classmate in Shenzhen.
I've been observing you from outside for a long time.
You seem a bit emotionally unstable; it doesn't seem like a good time to discuss business.
How about we meet another day?
Zheng Zhiguo got up and looked around, but didn't see anyone. He immediately replied to the message: "Director Zhou, today's meeting is very important to me. Please make sure you can take the time to see me."
After finishing, he immediately extinguished the cigarette, straightened his clothes, and stood up straight, hoping to make a good impression on Director Zhou, who was hiding in the shadows.
I don't know.
This is one of Director Zhou's methods.
It was clearly Director Zhou who was delayed by social engagements and was late, but he insisted that he had been observing for a long time, which made Zheng Zhiguo panic.
People who live in big cities tend to have more thoughts on their minds.
At the same time, Director Zhou immediately realized that Zheng Zhiguo had come to ask for a favor, and that if he pressed him a little, Zheng Zhiguo would offer very good terms.
"Okay, then."
Come to Fuyuan Teahouse diagonally across the street, to the Tingfengxuan private room on the second floor.
The barbecue restaurant is bustling with customers right now; it's a real mixed bag of people.
Upon seeing Director Zhou's message, Zheng Zhiguo immediately went out.
His SUV was still parked in the parking space in front of the barbecue restaurant. The teahouse was just a few steps away across the street, and it was even faster to walk.
We arrived at the second floor.
Knock on the door and come in.
A slightly overweight older man was sitting by the window, looking in the direction of the barbecue restaurant entrance, his gaze falling on Zheng Zhiguo's military green Toyota Land Cruiser.
Upon seeing Zheng Zhiguo enter, Director Zhou withdrew his gaze, poured tea, and extended his arms to invite him to sit down.
The tea table was filled with fragrance, and the speakers on the wall were playing guzheng music, which made Zheng Zhiguo relax a lot.
"I heard from Zhikai that you're investigating some hotel in our district, right?"
"Yes, the Baihua Hotel in Luohu."
Director Zhou's face immediately darkened.
"That's a five-star hotel."
It's very famous here; they make particularly authentic Cantonese cuisine.
On weekends, customers from Hong Kong and Macau flock to the store.
For a hotel of this size, and since you're part of the system, you must have some connections locally.
"You want to find out about this place... I'm afraid that'll be a bit difficult."
Zheng Zhiguo placed his hands on the table, awkwardly clasping them together. Only then did he realize that he hadn't offered the other person a cigarette, so he quickly took out a cigarette and offered it to him: "Yes, yes, if it were just a normal matter, I wouldn't have come to ask you for help."
Director Xiao said that you can handle anything in this area.
I came here today with sincerity.
The implication is that there are costs involved in doing this.
Director Zhou's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he smiled slightly before asking, "What exactly are you investigating, and how do you plan to do it?"
"To be honest, I came here to get a video of a female guest in the hotel."
Director Zhou looked troubled: "Aren't you trying to overturn the table?"
If word gets out, who would dare to come to the Hundred Flowers Hotel?
He waved his hands repeatedly, disagreeing.
Although he's called the director, he's not really the director; it's just a title, a way of giving him a grander title.
He wouldn't dare to handle anything too big.
Director Zhou knew that the entertainment club on the third floor of the Baihua Hotel offered male model services.
Many wealthy women in Hong Kong and Macau like to go there for leisure, and the daily turnover is huge.
How can the videos in here be leaked?
If this causes a scene, who would dare to go there?
The Baihua Hotel might go bankrupt along with it.
