Ji Xiuli, the wife of Wei Junshan, director of the General Administration of Customs.
Although they had only met her once at that unpleasant charity reception, Zuo Han was quite impressed by this arrogant woman.
After thinking about what Meng Yu said just now, Zuo Han said suspiciously: "You just said that we are enemies on a narrow road. Could it be that that woman..."
Meng Yu gritted his teeth and nodded: "That woman is the new mayor's wife."
Now Zuo Han finally understood why Meng Yu was so angry. No one could stand Ji Xiuli's style. But he didn't expect that from the director's wife to the mayor's wife, Ji Xiuli didn't restrain herself at all.
Although the two levels are almost the same, and the mayor is a high-ranking official, the director also depends on which director he is and what power he has. Wei Junshan holds real power in the General Administration of Customs, not to mention the mayor, even the provincial governor.
There are times when I beg him.
From the director to the mayor, they are not even considered flat, they are openly and covertly derogatory.
Zuo Han estimated that it was most likely the "Moon Star" that caused Wei Junshan to stumble.
Neither Zuo Han nor Meng Yu wanted to come into contact with Ji Xiuli. The two drank tea in a tacit understanding, and Ji Xiuli and her group seemed to be passing by on the street outside soon.
Ji Xiuli did not see Zuo Han and Meng Yu, but others did.
"Mr. Meng?" A young official following him brightened up and trotted into the restaurant: "Brother Meng, why are you eating here?"
Meng Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "It's the same food everywhere, so hurry up and go about your business."
The young official had only met Meng Yu a few times and was not familiar with him at all. He came in firstly to show his goodwill, and secondly to show others that he knew the son of the new municipal party committee secretary. Seeing that Meng Yu was unwilling to talk to him, he borrowed the money.
Down the slope the donkey went out with a smile.
But when he interfered like this, Ji Xiuli glanced here subconsciously. She didn't see Zuo Han, but she saw Meng Yu.
Ji Xiuli smiled meaningfully and stopped.
When she stopped, everyone else stopped and looked towards the restaurant.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Meng Yu cursed secretly, got up and walked out.
"Aunt Ji."
"Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Meng Yu." Ji Xiuli looked at Meng Yu and said with a smile: "You don't take the initiative to say hello when you see me, so I have to wait for you."
Meng Yuqiang smiled: "Aunt Ji is really good at joking. I was having dinner with my friends just now and didn't notice you coming over."
Ji Xiuli said: "I am also new here, so I just want to walk around. After all, I will stay here for a long time."
"Then go ahead and I won't delay you." Meng Yu found something to say and wanted to run away.
But Ji Xiuli didn't want to do what Meng Yu wanted, and thought to herself: "Weihai is a good place, with beautiful scenery and a good environment, but the supporting facilities are really not up to par, and the investment promotion is not good..."
Ji Xiuli paused and pretended to sigh: "Our Junshan just took over such a mess when he was transferred. It will be difficult to do the work in the future. We have to ask Secretary Meng to help more..."
When Ji Xiuli said this, not to mention that Meng Yu blushed and had a thick neck, even the other accompanying officials looked awkward.
Meng Liansong was the mayor before he was promoted to secretary. These words clearly mean that Meng Liansong did not do a good job as mayor.
Few of the first and second leaders can pee in a pot, but most of them can get by on the surface. What's more, Wei Junshan is still new here, what role do you, a family member, play here?
However, when these officials saw how strong Ji Xiuli was, they couldn't help but feel jealous and began to think about which team to take.
Meng Liansong only stayed in Weihai for four years. Now Wei Junshan is like a dragon crossing the river. Can Meng Liansong handle it?
Ji Xiuli glanced at the faces of the officials and inadvertently raised the corners of her mouth.
……………………
As Zuo Han expected, Wei Junshan did not come to Weihai to be the mayor of his own free will. From a certain perspective, it could even be said that he was exiled.
And the source is the so-called Moon Star.
When the diamond identification results came out, Wei Junshan was relieved.
A diamond worth two million dollars turns into a glass ball worth two dollars in the blink of an eye.
Wei Junshan scolded Ji Xiuli for showing off her wealth and causing trouble, while Ji Xiuli scolded Wei Junshan for using fake goods to fool people. After the two quarreled, they had to face what they should face.
Wei Junshan was very wise and went directly to the leader to explain the situation.
The leaders of the customs wanted to strangle Wei Junshan to death, but they couldn't handle this shit.
That auction company had a lot of bad records and was suspected of reselling cultural relics and a series of other issues. It has been litigating in international courts, and the customs only cooperated with other departments to block them.
If there is a problem with the customs at this time, the international community will be passive. In addition, China is also inclined to say that the diamond was fake from the beginning, and the top and bottom are unanimously supporting Wei Junshan.
Wei Junshan has vanity, but his hands and feet have always been clean. And through investigation, the diamond also has the fingerprints of the person who handled it at the auction company. Anyway, no matter how you investigate, the diamond is still the same piece, and Wei Junshan is also innocent.
The auction company was also surprised, and was unwilling to suffer such a dumb loss, so it started a verbal lawsuit with the customs.
The two sides are arguing back and forth, and it would be most beneficial for the key figure Wei Junshan to avoid it.
Removing and suspending him will definitely not work. That would be a disguised admission of negligence on the part of the Customs.
After study, the superiors decided to transfer Wei Junshan to avoid the center of the whirlpool, and wait until an agreement satisfactory to both parties was reached before handling it.
Wei Junshan was completely abandoned, but he couldn't give up.
There is no chance at the customs. Even if he can go back in the future, he will be punished. If he still wants to continue on his official career, Wei Junshan must open up the situation locally.
Wei Junshan exhausted his contacts before moving to become the acting mayor of Weihai. Before coming, he decided that he could not keep a low profile in Weihai to avoid the limelight, but should work in a high profile to increase his bargaining chips. He must stay in Weihai when the limelight passes.
, otherwise there will definitely be no good fruit to eat when you go back.
Wei Junshan was a complete tragedy, but Ji Xiuli not only did not restrain herself, but intensified her behavior.
Because she felt that the couple was both prosperous and devastated, she had to think more about her husband and help him gain a foothold in Weihai.
Today I went to several directors and told them that Ji Xiuli had calculated it after going around. Of course, meeting Meng Yu was an accident. Using Meng Yu to suppress Meng Liansong's prestige was entirely Ji Xiuli's flash of inspiration.
…………………………
Seeing the officials following her whispering, Ji Xiuli felt that she had achieved results and decided to expand the results. She pretended to be surprised and said: "Ahem, why am I telling you that? It's time to let Junshan know that I'm nosy again..."
"Hehehe..." Meng Yu's facial muscles were already stiff.
"However, Auntie still has to say something to you." Ji Xiuli said to Meng Yu in a sincere tone: "Although you have a good father, you have to work hard. Now that you have entered this industry, you must be worthy of the police uniform.
.No matter how capable your parents are, there will come a day when you can no longer rely on them..."
Ji Xiuli's thinking was completely inertial. She felt that Wei Siying was so ostentatious in the capital, and a local bumpkin like Meng Yu must be even more unreliable. She must have had Meng Liansong's relationship and was waiting to die in the Public Security Bureau.
But Ji Xiuli had no idea that when her words came out, everyone around her looked at her as if she was a fool.
If Meng Yu doesn't work hard and is sorry for the police uniform he wears, then there won't be a single qualified policeman in the entire Weihai sea.
Listening to Ji Xiuli's "teaching", Meng Yu was annoyed and bored, but he was also helpless.
Just when Meng Yu felt that he was about to be suffocated to death, a faint voice suddenly came from behind.
"Ms. Ji, we meet again."
The farce that happened on the street was all reflected in Zuo Han's eyes.
Zuo Han originally didn't want to talk to Ji Xiuli, and thought Meng Yu would just deal with it and let it go. But he didn't expect that this woman was so ignorant and didn't know what face was.
Meng Yu had just helped, so of course Zuo Han couldn't just sit idly by. After thinking for a while, he walked out of the hotel.
Ji Xiuli vaguely felt that the voice sounded familiar. When she followed the voice, her high emotions suddenly dropped to freezing point.
"Mr. Zuo...why are you here..."
Ji Xiuli thought about it for a long time before she found a suitable title.
The more a snobbish person like Ji Xiuli is, the more afraid she is of such a behemoth as the Zuo family. Especially in such a sensitive period, the excitement cannot be explained in one or two sentences.
"I'm Meng Yu's friend. I was having dinner with him just now."
Zuo Han's faint words made Ji Xiuli hesitate to cry.
Why is he carrying it so hard? Even in the capital, he can run into friends of the Zuo family even if he runs to Weihai. Didn’t Meng Liansong come from the province? How could he be on the line with the Zuo family?
Seeing Ji Xiuli just smiling stiffly, Zuo Han continued: "I didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few days, Ms. Ji was promoted from the wife of the director to the mayor's wife. Her demeanor was completely different. I almost didn't recognize her."
Zuo Han's principle is that when he encounters annoying things like flies, he either completely ignores them or beats them to death. Ji Xiuli just provoked Meng Yu in every possible way, so Zuo Han would treat him in his own way.
.
"Mr. Zuo is joking." Ji Xiuli said awkwardly: "My Junshan is on secondment at the same level."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't understand the rules of the officialdom." Zuo Han raised the corner of his mouth and said, "But seeing that your face is so red, I think it's a good thing."
"It's a good thing, it's a good thing..." Ji Xiuli felt a little overwhelmed, but she didn't dare to say anything. She muttered a few words and said, "I almost forgot, there are still some urgent things to do. Let's do this for today. I will definitely invite Zuo another day.
Sir, I’m going to be a guest at home.”
After saying that, Ji Xiuli left almost as if running away, not wanting to give Zuo Han another chance to taunt her.
Zuo Han turned to Meng Yu, who was in a daze, and joked with a smile: "You have to learn from her. If you want to leave, just leave quickly."
Meng Yu subconsciously wanted to reply, but he opened his mouth and did not say anything.
He couldn't understand Zuo Han more and more.
First it was the military division, and now it is Ji Xiuli. Who is this Zuo Han?
Meng Yu couldn't understand it, and the officials who followed Ji Xiuli couldn't understand it even more.
In just ten minutes, their minds felt like they were on a roller coaster.
First of all, I saw that the new mayor and the new secretary must be at odds. The mayor’s wife stood in front of the fight and offered her son a sacrificial knife. But after waiting for a while, a young man with a little white hair suddenly appeared and asked the mayor’s wife to
Shrugging.
Moreover, this young man with mysterious origins seems to have a very good relationship with Meng Yu.
Until Zuo Han and Meng Yu left, officials were still whispering. What happened today will soon spread throughout the government agencies in Weihai City.
