"Let's go see that Wu Huali." Zhou Nan walked towards the "dark room" next door.
Qiu Gang pushed open the door first and pressed the light switch.
The light suddenly brightened, and a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair who was huddled on the sofa in a corner of the room raised her head slowly. There were several scratches on her originally pretty face, and there were five clear finger prints on the left half of her cheek.
.
"Wu Huali, Secretary Zhou came to see you and ask you some questions... You must honestly report the situation to the leader." Qiu Gang said in a deep voice.
Wu Huali nodded numbly. From the shame and anger at the beginning to the numbness now, Wu Huali could no longer use words to describe her true state of mind at the moment. Her mind went blank and she couldn't even cry even if she wanted to.
The two of them have not had sex once or twice, and have been living together secretly for a year or two. But this time tonight, before they could take off their clothes and go to bed, Li Peng's wife Ma Chunhua and others caught her in the act.
She was already at fault, and Ma Chunhua was a farm woman who worked all year round and was much stronger than her, so she was no match for the two girls in a fight. If Qiu Gang hadn't gone there in time, she would have been even more embarrassed at this moment.
.
Zhou Nan looked at this woman coldly, his eyes wavering slightly.
This seems to be an ordinary and accidental "adultery incident", but Zhou Nan always feels that it is a little strange. Since the relationship between the two has been around for a long time and has been an open secret for a long time, why did it not really break out until today? Is this really true?
Was it an accident?
Moreover, on the way here, according to Song Xiaolin, the relationship between Li Peng and his wife Ma Chunhua has always been bad, and can even be said to be very bad. This is not a secret among the villagers. Because Ma Chunhua has never given birth,
What's more, Ma Chunhua is a well-known shrew. It is said that Li Peng filed for divorce several times over the years, but in the end they never got divorced.
"Wu Huali, how are you going to handle this matter?" Zhou Nan said calmly.
"Secretary Zhou...I..." Wu Huali looked up and glanced at Zhou Nan numbly. He wanted to defend himself a few words, but suddenly remembered that he had been involved in such a scandal and was wearing a "whore" hat.
How could he have the shame to "make irresponsible remarks" in front of the leader... He suddenly turned red, hung his head in shame, and choked up.
"Crying won't solve the problem." Qiu Gang said in a deep voice, "Reflect on it yourself! Wait for the town party committee to deal with it!"
"Secretary Zhou, let's go over there and have a look... Mayor Ma is there to persuade him." As soon as Qiu Gang said these words, Zhou Nan's heart immediately moved, but he said without changing his expression, "Mayor Ma is also here."
Are you here? It seems like there was quite a disturbance today."
Qiu Gang didn't think much and sighed, "Secretary Zhou, in a small place like ours, good things don't go out, and scandals spread thousands of miles... I think this matter has already spread throughout the town... Oh, it's so embarrassing.
Yo!"
Zhou Nan remained silent and strode out of the house.
At the end of the corridor, Li Peng's dormitory was brightly lit, and several middle-aged men and women gathered at the door. Some were smoking, while others pointed angrily at Li Peng in the room and cursed from time to time.
Qiu Gang accompanied Zhou Nan as he walked over. When the men and women at the door saw Zhou Nan coming, they immediately gathered around and "accused" Li Peng of his shamelessness and many bad things to Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan separated from everyone and walked into the house with a sullen face. He saw Li Peng squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and his face could not be seen clearly. And a strong-bodied woman with a rough appearance and an extremely fierce expression was standing in front of Li Peng, holding her waist. The mayor
Ma Wenge stood opposite the woman with a smile on his face, as if he was trying to persuade her.
"Secretary Zhou." Ma Wenge looked up and saw Zhou Nan and Qiu Gang coming in. He smiled and made way for Zhou Nan, but he did not go out.
Qiu Gang took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Ma Chunhua, this is Secretary Zhou. Didn't you clamor to see the leader? Now that the leader is here, hurry up and say what you want to say!"
Ma Chunhua turned to look at Zhou Nan, as if she was surprised by Zhou Nan's youth. She immediately frowned and said, "Secretary Qiu, I want to see the county leaders. I don't want to talk to the town leaders. I want to talk to the people who have the final say."
County leaders speak.”
"Presumptuous." Qiu Gang said angrily, "..."
What a shrew. Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows, suddenly reached out and patted Qiu Gang on the shoulder, and said lightly, "Comrade Ma Chunhua, right? I am Zhou Nan. I am not only the secretary of the town committee, but also a member of the standing committee of the county committee. You can put me
As a county leader, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Ma Chunhua raised her broomstick eyebrows and said angrily, "Secretary Zhou, this bastard man is cheating on women in the town behind my back. Does this constitute a style problem? I asked the county leaders to remove him from his post.
, let him go back to his hometown and farm!"
"I want to divorce him!"
"My surname is Li, I haven't cheated and raised a man yet, but you dare to play with women outside - you are a hypocrite, a stinky hooligan, you will die!" Ma Chunhua said in front of Zhou Nan, Qiu Gang, and several Ma Cultural Revolution leaders.
In front of him, he reached out and kicked Li Peng hard.
Zhou Nan frowned and stared coldly at the shrew in front of him, feeling a strong sense of disgust.
Qiu Gang sighed in his heart, glanced at Li Peng with some "sympathy", who was still holding his head and faceless, and secretly shook his head. After meeting such a shrew and a shrew, it's no wonder that Li Peng wanted to divorce several times.
Unfortunately, every time he filed for divorce, Ma Chunhua would come to town to make trouble with him. For the sake of his political future, Li Peng had no choice but to endure it and barely maintain this marriage in name only.
The result is still like this. It is estimated that the deputy mayor will not be able to become... At the same time, his reputation has been ruined and his reputation has been tarnished.
Qiu Gang angrily scolded, "Ma Chunhua, please pay attention! If you have something to say, say it well!"
"What are you talking about? This bastard Chen Shimei ruined her shoes right under the eyes of you leaders. You all pretended not to see it and didn't care... Huh, I'm telling you that you are also responsible! I don't care, you have to give me one anyway.
Explain - you are such a low-income person, but you still have the nerve to be a leader in the town... If you don't feel embarrassed, I feel embarrassed!"
Ma Chunhua pinched her waist and looked very tough.
In fact, she was originally a victim, but because of her fierce expression and vulgar behavior, people not only couldn't feel sympathy, but also found her face disgusting.
Zhou Nan sneered inwardly.
"Comrade Ma Chunhua, the marriage issue between you and Comrade Li Peng is your private matter. I hope you can talk about it at home... Anyway, don't make trouble in the workplace. The impact will be very bad!" Zhou Nan waved his hand and said, "Okay.
, it’s very late, you all go back and calm down first, if you have any questions, we’ll talk about it tomorrow!”
"You go home and deal with it on your own... Of course, if you can't handle it well, you can also come to the organization for help - but in principle, it's better to resolve household matters by yourself."
Upon hearing Zhou Nan's words, Ma Chunhua immediately became anxious, "Secretary Zhou, aren't you clearly showing favoritism for this bad guy? Ah, after all, he is also a cadre in the town. If he breaks his shoes, you, the leader, won't care?
Are these cadres in your town just serving the people?"
This Ma Chunhua is not only tough, but also has a sharp tooth and a sharp mouth. Although she has no education, she is "cogent" when she splashes, unlike ordinary rural women who talk incoherently when they get anxious.
Seeing that Ma Chunhua was getting more and more outrageous, Qiu Gang became angry and shouted, "Ma Chunhua, you are so outrageous, how did you say this? Go back quickly and stop making trouble!"
Ma Chunhua looked at Qiu Gang without fear, pinched her waist and glared at Qiu Gang and said angrily, "I can see it too, you are officials protecting each other... Why, this coward broke his shoes, and I, as my wife, can't do that."
Are you here to catch an adulterer? Let me tell you, Secretary Qiu, don’t scare me, I’m not afraid of you. I, Ma Chunhua, am upright and upright! If you don’t deal with it and give me an explanation, I won’t leave today!”
As she said that, Ma Chunhua actually sat down on the ground with her legs crossed. Ma Chunhua's brother Ma Chunxiao walked in and said aggressively, "Secretary Zhou, Mayor Ma, don't you care? If you don't care, we will go to the county
Here, we don’t believe there is no room for reasoning!”
Ma Chunxiao exuded a strong smell of sweat mixed with the smell of tobacco. Zhou Nan took a step back in disgust. From the corner of his eye, he noticed a faint smile floating on the corner of Ma Wenge's mouth, and his face suddenly changed.
Change, and said sternly, "What do you want the town to control? If Li Peng's problem is true, the town party committee will naturally report it to the county party committee for study. As for how to deal with it, the organization will decide on it! But you gathered a crowd to attack the town government. What is this?
Behavior?"
"Secretary Qiu, let the people from the police station come over immediately. If they have any disputes or conflicts - go to the police station and make a fuss. I don't have time to waste here." Zhou Nan suddenly turned around and walked away.
Zhou Nan had long seen that the Ma Chunhua family was not a good person. The only way to deal with such arrogant and unreasonable people was to have a tough attitude. The more "weak" you are, the more they will slap you in the face.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Nan got angry on the spot, several relatives of the Ma family did not dare to say anything more, they just lowered their heads and muttered a few words in a low voice.
"Mayor Ma, you have to make the decision for me..." Ma Chunhua saw something was wrong, got up and knelt down in front of Ma Wenge, grabbed Ma Wenge's legs, and started wailing hysterically.
People from the Ningshan Town Police Station came over and quickly took Ma Chunhua and others away. Of course, they were not "arrested" but forced to disperse and leave the town government.
In Zhou Nan's office.
Ma Wenge and Qiu Gang walked in one after another, and deputy mayor Ma Zhongling and Chen Jiangyu also followed in with sullen faces.
"Sit down." Zhou Nan waved his hand and said, "Let's hold a short meeting overnight to study it and see how to deal with this matter. Everyone knows what happened... Let's talk openly, Lao Qiu, first
It starts with you!”
Qiu Gang sighed and said, "Secretary Zhou, I have to be honest. Li Peng's behavior violates the style and discipline, but it is excusable. He married such a dominatrix, can't have children, and makes trouble at every turn. Who cares?
No one can bear it. I think, in line with the principle of educating cadres, we should try to deal with it in a low-key manner and let Li Peng make a written inspection to the town party committee and order him to properly handle his personal family problems..."
Chen Jiangyu has always had a good relationship with Li Peng. Hearing this, he sighed and agreed, "Secretary Zhou, that's true. Emotionally speaking, I sympathize with Comrade Li Peng. However, after all, he made a mistake, and those who deserve to be punished must still be punished."
of……"
Ma Wenge smiled coldly and said, "Secretary Zhou, we can't hide this matter anymore. It's already spread all over the city, how can we still hide it? I saw it and reported it to the county committee immediately, so that Comrade Li Peng should be dealt with seriously.
, otherwise it will be bad for the collective image of the town committee and government..."
Zhou Nan smiled faintly and did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at Ma Wenge quietly.
He knew very well Ma Wenge's true state of mind at this moment.
It was nothing more than trying to muddy the waters and take advantage of the troubled waters - the news about Li Peng's love affair not only diverted everyone's attention, but also gave him a buffer time to transfer out of Ningshan Town through Sun Fuli. At the same time, Li Peng
Peng's previous betrayal made him resentful, and now he wanted to add insult to injury and trample Li Peng to death.
"It must be handled, but it cannot be done too hastily, let alone acted on impulse. Lao Qiu, you are responsible for this matter, and you must investigate it from beginning to end. Until the matter is investigated clearly, we will not make a formal report to the county committee -
—I will make an oral report to Secretary Zhang of the County Party Committee. During the investigation, Li Peng and Wu Huali will be suspended first." Zhou Nan said slowly, "What are your opinions?"
"I agree." Qiu Gang raised his hand in agreement, and immediately Chen Jiangyu and Ma Zhongling also nodded in agreement. Although Ma Wenge was not willing to give in, he was "fighting alone". Even if he had different opinions, it was in vain. He could only say in a low voice, "I
I reserve my opinion. I still insist that this kind of matter should be handled quickly and reported to the county committee immediately."
Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, how big of a deal is this? How much trouble can it cause? Just delay it for a while - you Ma Cultural Gege want to take advantage of the situation, but I won't let you succeed.
Next, the town committee and town government team will definitely be adjusted... But in Zhou Nan's eyes, it is not Li Peng who needs adjustment the most, but Ma Wenge.
Qiu Gang's eyes wavered. He could vaguely guess Zhou Nan's true thoughts, but he wasn't very accurate. However, for him, it was enough to follow Zhou Nan's orders to the letter, and there was no need to mess with it.
Too clear.
In the eyes of Ma Zhongling and Chen Jiangyu, Zhou Nan deliberately "favored" Li Peng, which made them feel very comfortable and felt that Zhou Nan was somewhat measured and responsible as a leader. Although Zhou Nan used thunderous means because of this,
No one could say anything.
Several town leaders left, and the spectators had been dispersed long ago. The originally noisy town government compound slowly returned to calm. The night was dark and starry, and the night of late spring and early summer had actually become somewhat peaceful.
heat.
Zhang Zhijun was busy all night and was about to leave home to go to sleep. When he looked up, he saw that the lights in Zhou Nan's office were still on.
Zhang Zhijun pondered for a moment and whispered to Song Xiaolin who was standing next to him, "Xiao Song, hurry up and go home. It's getting very late. Be careful and pay attention to safety on the road -"
Song Xiaolin nodded and hurriedly rode her bicycle out of the town government compound and went home. Zhang Zhijun walked lightly to the second floor and stood at the door of Zhou Nan's office, looking at Zhou Nan who was writing something at his desk.
He smiled and said, "Secretary Zhou, it's so late and the leader still doesn't take a rest?"
Zhou Nan smiled, looked up at Zhang Zhijun and waved his hand, "Old Zhang, come here, I'm just going to talk to you."
Zhang Zhijun walked in respectfully, leaned forward and sat on the spring sofa in Zhou Nan's room, his waist straight. Zhou Nan glanced at him and smiled, "Don't be so nervous, let's chat casually."
"Old Zhang, I have been in the town for a while, and I have a basic understanding of the situation in the town... Because in the central town, the work in our town is very trivial, but the team members are relatively small, and there is a serious shortage of manpower.
.This time, something happened to Li Peng again, although
I wanted to suppress it, but in the end I still had to report to the county party committee. I guessed that it was very likely that he would be dismissed in the end. In this way, the leadership team of the town party committee and government would have even less power... So,
I hope you can take on more responsibilities in the future..."
Zhou Nan stared at Zhang Zhijun with calm eyes and smiled.
After hearing Zhou Nan's words, Zhang Zhijun was ecstatic. If he couldn't even hear and understand Zhou Nan's obvious hint, he would have been the director of the Party and Government Office for so many years in vain!
After so many years, his chance finally came?! Upon thinking of this, Zhang Zhijun immediately stood up and said respectfully, with a hint of gratitude in his voice, "Thank you for your leadership, I will definitely work hard in the future to live up to the expectations of my leadership..."
…”
A knowing smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Nan's mouth. If he wanted to work as an official in Ningshan County, he had to cultivate his own team of confidants, and Zhang Zhijun was the first target he had been observing for so long. Of course, he also had other goals.
The two targets are currently under secret investigation and no final decision has been made yet.
"Haha, you are also an old comrade in the town... I might as well give you some details. In the next step, the county will definitely adjust the team of the town committee and town government... For those of you who are rooted in the grassroots
Cadres who have worked in obscurity for many years behind the scenes have organizational considerations."
"Okay, it's getting late, so you should go back and rest early. Try to cooperate with the financial department in checking some unclear accounts in these two days... Do you understand what I mean?" Zhou Nan stood up and said calmly.
Zhang Zhijun's heart trembled, but he immediately straightened his back and said respectfully, "I understand, Secretary Zhou, please don't worry, I'll hurry up and get it done!"
"Go." Zhou Nan also smiled and walked out of the office door, "I'm ready to rest too."
Zhang Zhijun happily rode away from the town government while singing a tune. Zhou Nan originally wanted to go to Ningshan Hotel to meet Lan Ruo, but looking at the appearance that it was almost early in the morning, Lan Ruo must have gone to bed long ago, so he had no choice but to give up.
