When Wang Hai heard his wife's cry and begging, his already troubled mood became even more like a mess. He couldn't sort it out and kept cutting. He slumped down on an armchair again and rested his head with both hands. I frowned and thought and judged hard, feeling like two giant beasts fighting in my heart. One moment this thought prevailed, and the other moment the other thought prevailed, but I couldn't make a decision no matter what.
He is very clear: with the huge economic benefits he has obtained from the Zhenxing Company, especially these benefits obtained through illegal means of buying shares, once he is investigated and punished, he will undoubtedly be deemed to have accepted bribes, and the amount It is extremely huge. According to his own calculations, the dividends he has received from Zhenxing Company in the past few years are no less than 30 million. Moreover, when Li Botang first became friends with him, he also gave him several million in cash. But based on these circumstances, He is worthy of a suspended death sentence, not to mention that he has some other problems. Once he is investigated and dealt with this time, those problems are likely to be discovered one after another, and the amount will be even more astonishing.
And now, the central government's anti-corruption efforts are so strong that several provincial and ministerial-level officials like myself or even higher-ranking and more powerful officials have been dismissed. Two of them were sentenced to death, and the others were also sentenced to life imprisonment. and a reprieve of death, and among them, there are several officials who were dismissed, and the amount of bribes they took was not as much as mine. Based on this calculation, if the central government is serious about investigating and punishing myself, when convicted and sentenced in the future, giving myself a reprieve of death may be a lighter sentence. Disappointed...
Thinking of this, he felt that the hairs all over his body stood on end, and his body began to tremble like chaff...
Now, he finally understood why Zhou Jiqing had such a desolate tone when he was talking to him on the phone yesterday. When a person is grabbed seven inches by someone and has to bow his head and surrender, that kind of unwillingness to give up. The helpless frustration can indeed completely defeat a person's will in an instant. All that is left is to beg the opponent to show mercy, not to pursue and fight fiercely, and to let oneself live...
At this time, his wife saw that he was still thinking and hesitating, so she came over again and said in a desperate tone: "Lao Wang, you can't hesitate any longer. If you don't take the initiative, we will really be finished. You now Go to Secretary Lu to admit your mistakes and ask him for mercy. That is an attitude and the effect will be much better. If you wait for Secretary Lu to come to you, you will be very passive. When the time comes, Secretary Lu will not forgive you or help you. But it’s hard to say. Also, I heard many people in the Provincial Committee say that Secretary Lu is very broad-minded. Although he usually has strict requirements on his subordinates, if a subordinate really makes a mistake, as long as it is not particularly serious, he will When dealing with mistakes that particularly violated principles, he would be lenient and give the comrades who made mistakes a chance to reform. He would never beat people to death with a stick. Therefore, the staff around him summed up a few words for him. : Education should be strict, punishment should be lenient; punish before and after, treat illnesses and save people. If you can’t save face and are unwilling to go to Secretary Lu to admit your mistakes, then well, I will go in your place and I will go and ask Secretary Lu. I can’t watch our family be destroyed. We must not watch our son become a family member of a sinner that no one loves, no one loves, no one cares about,"
As she said this, she really wiped away her tears and walked towards the door.
Wang Hai stood up and shouted: "Come back, do you think Secretary Lu is so easy to see? Besides, you are a womanizer, what's the use of looking for him? Do you think he will be moved by your tears? Let me tell you "In this kind of life-and-death political struggle, tears are the most worthless thing. The only way out now is for me to voluntarily surrender and retire. Maybe I can win some sympathy from him."
Having said this, he shook his head reluctantly, sighed heavily, looked up at his wife, and said in a somewhat lonely tone: "I'll give him his phone number now and talk to him. This conversation is a complete confession and a complete admission of defeat. There can be no hiding anything, and no taking any chances. It must touch the soul, so that he can be completely relieved and have a chance to obtain his forgiveness. So, you There is one thing you must do tomorrow: go to the bank and transfer all the dividends received from the Zhenxing Company in the past few years back to your brother-in-law's personal account, and supervise him to pay for you in the name of your family. My sister handed over the stolen money to the person handling the case from the Discipline Inspection Commission. This is the most critical step, do you understand?"
When his wife heard that all the dividends would be handed over to the Discipline Inspection Commission without missing a penny, she became heartbroken again and said unwillingly: "Old Wang, when we originally bought shares in the Zhenxing Company, although we got some dry shares, we still didn't get them. We actually paid part of the share capital, so some of the dividends are the benefits we deserve. We only need to return the part of the money we paid for the shares..."
"Shut up, it's just a woman's opinion. How can we save our lives now? It's God's mercy to keep us out of prison. You still can't bear to part with those tens of millions of dollars. Let me tell you: You and I are both party members and leading cadres, and we are strictly prohibited from participating in equity operations in enterprises. Haven't you learned the "Several Guidelines for Party Members and Leading Cadres to Conduct Politics with Integrity"? If you don't do this, I will talk to Secretary Lu about it, and there will be no solution at all. Any meaning, do you understand?”
His wife was so frightened by his angry roar that she no longer dared to bite.
Wang Hai glared at his wife angrily, walked to the phone, and stood there hesitating for a long time. Finally, with trembling hands, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of Secretary Lu's office. He knew very well that this Secretary Lu was definitely in the office at that time and would not go back to rest before eleven o'clock in the evening.
Sure enough, Secretary Lu answered the phone quickly.
"Secretary Lu, hello, I am Wang Hai. Are you free now? If you are, I would like to talk to you and report some of my personal situation to you."
Secretary Lu pondered for a moment on the phone, and then replied: "Okay, you can come over now,"
After walking into Secretary Lu's office, Wang Hai first looked at Secretary Lu's tea cup. Seeing that the tea in it had been drunk to the end, he took the initiative to pick up his cup, went to the next door, knocked on Xu Lizhong's door, and personally went under the water heater to give Secretary Lu some tea. Refill the cup with water.
Xu Lizhong was watching the news on the computer. When he saw Wang Hai come in, he quickly stood up, called "Secretary-General", then walked over embarrassedly and said: "Secretary-General, I'll do it."
Wang Hai turned his head to look at Xu Lizhong, forced a smile, and said: "Xiao Xu, sit down, I'm going to talk to Secretary Lu about something, it's more important, so please stay out of the way."
