Taking bribes from customers? !
Li Ji was immediately confused.
His body trembled unconsciously, and he stood up subconsciously, his eyes widened, staring at Director Sun in disbelief.
Everyone else in the conference room was also stunned for a moment, and everyone looked at Li Ji in unison.
Only Cui Hao remained calm and composed. He slowly closed the notebook, glanced sideways, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and did not forget to lower his head and take a few sips of tea.
Li Ji's face was hot and his mind was spinning rapidly.
He quickly calmed down.
Only when you are a thief do you have a guilty conscience. If you don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door.
At the beginning, the audit team also received an anonymous letter of complaint. Li Ji had nothing wrong with him and didn't take it seriously at all.
But this time it was the inspection room, and things were different. If there is no definite evidence, people from the inspection room will probably not come forward.
But Li Ji really couldn't think of any time when he had taken bribes from others.
Director Sun was still looking at Li Ji seriously. Seeing Li Ji standing still, he coughed twice: "Comrade Li Ji, let's go!"
Li Ji suddenly woke up and opened his mouth. My mind is full of thoughts, but I don’t know what to say first.
"well......"
Li Ji nodded hurriedly, picked up his bag, pulled out the chair behind him, and walked out. Director Sun turned sideways and gave way, but still stood aside.
The young man following Director Sun was named Luo. Xiao Luo nodded to Li Ji, then turned around and walked towards the door.
Li Ji was stunned for a moment, then quickly took two steps to follow.
There was silence in the conference room for a moment. It seemed like a pin dropped, and the sound of it hitting the ground could be heard.
Director Sun glanced around and relaxed his stern face slightly. He nodded slightly to Cui Hao, then strode out.
Ronaldinho and Li Ji are still waiting at the door.
The three of them lowered their heads and said nothing. One after another, they entered the elevator and went up to the thirteenth floor.
Director Sun walked directly back to his office.
Xiao Luo took Li Ji to a room at the west end. Li Ji knew that this was what people in the industry jokingly called the "interrogation room."
The house is not big.
The two small windows are equipped with steel bars as thick as a thumb. The thick layer on the wall looks soft and should be made of sponge material.
There is a table and two chairs in the middle of the room. There was another chair against the wall, but it was slightly larger. There was nothing else and it seemed very empty.
This was the first time Li Ji entered this room. He stopped at the door and looked at it curiously.
"President Li, please take a seat."
Ronaldinho pointed to the chair against the wall and said it politely.
Li Ji lowered his eyes, bit his lip, hesitantly walked in, and slowly sat down on the chair.
The sun shines through the two small windows, casting mottled shadows on the ground. The fluorescent lamps on the ceiling emitted a dazzling white light.
An inexplicable depression and tension suddenly hit my heart. Li Ji's breathing became urgent involuntarily, and his heart began to beat rapidly.
The door flashed and Director Sun walked in. He sat down at the table and put the notebook in his hand on the table.
Xiao Luo turned around and closed the door, sat down next to him, casually spread out a manuscript paper, picked up the pen, and looked at Li Ji intently.
"Ahem! Ahem..."
Director Sun coughed loudly several times. Ronaldinho quickly pulled out a few pieces of paper from the paper box on the corner of the table, stood up and handed them over.
Director Sun took it and held it in his hand, but did not move. He opened the notebook, took out an envelope from inside, looked at it carefully, and carefully pressed it under the notebook.
Director Sun slowly raised his head, stared at Li Ji, and said nothing for several minutes.
Li Ji suddenly felt hot and unbuttoned another button on his shirt. Although there was hot sweat on his forehead, his heart slowly calmed down.
He asked himself that he had never accepted a bribe from anyone.
Don't stretch out your hands, otherwise you will be caught. This is what his father told him countless times after he started working. Li Ji did the same thing.
He raised his head and looked at Director Sun with calm eyes.
"Comrade Li Ji, you are also a leading cadre, so I won't say anything more." Director Sun withdrew his gaze and coughed again, "Tell me about the bribery yourself."
"Director Sun, I have never accepted a bribe from anyone."
Li Ji spoke word by word with a firm tone.
"Comrade Li Ji, you are a party member and you know the principles of the organization very well." Director Sun was not impressed.
He tapped the table with his fingers and smiled faintly: "If you say it now, it will be regarded as a confession and surrender, and you can be dealt with lightly; if you don't say it now, when we find out, it will be very different then... "
After speaking, Director Sun leaned back, put his hands on his bulging belly, blinked, and looked at Li Ji with a half-smile.
"I didn't take any bribes. I have nothing to confess."
Li Ji shook his head and said straightforwardly.
Director Sun's face darkened: "Comrade Li Ji, you know very well that if there is no conclusive evidence, we will not ask you for questioning..."
"If you have evidence, bring it out."
Li Ji said coldly.
Director Sun's face immediately turned red, his lips trembled a few times, he snorted, and said loudly: "Li Ji, I'm giving you a chance! Don't take chances and think you can get away with it. Hum, no possible!"
"Director Sun, I didn't take bribes, I don't need you to give me a chance."
Li Ji's tone was gentle and his voice was surprisingly calm.
"Li Ji, I think you don't shed tears when you see the coffin."
Director Sun looked at Li Ji with disdain and became a little angry.
Li Ji turned his head away, looked at the sparse sunlight on the window lattice, and stopped talking.
Director Sun's eyes turned cold, and he was about to have an attack as soon as he pressed his hands on the table. But as soon as he stood up, he suddenly realized something and sat down again.
"This is a people's report letter forwarded from the People's Bank of China..."
Director Sun took out the letter, held it in his hand, and raised it towards Li Ji.
Li Ji was startled, turned his head and looked over.
"Someone reported to the People's Bank of China with a real name, saying that while you were at the Chengdong branch, you accepted a bribe of 10,000 yuan from a customer..."
What?
Li Ji opened his mouth in surprise.
He accepted a bribe of 10,000 yuan from a customer, and it was at the Chengdong branch. How can this be?
Absolutely impossible!
I have only been at the Chengdong branch for more than three months in total. I have not interacted with many customers at all, and I can’t even recognize them. How could I accept bribes?
"No, that's impossible."
Li Ji shook his head firmly.
"Li Ji, can't you remember it, or don't want to talk about it? Do you want me to help you recall it?"
Director Sun's voice was cold, with a bit of pride and ridicule.
"I didn't," Li Ji said. "Whoever reported it, I'm willing to confront him face to face."
"Li Ji, you did it on purpose," Director Sun sneered, "You clearly know that we have to keep the whistleblower secret, how could you reveal his personal information now..."
"Then," Li Ji was stunned for a moment, "I didn't take bribes, that means I didn't take bribes. If you don't believe it, I have nothing to say."
"Okay, I think you are planning to fight to the end..."
Director Sun smiled easily and inserted the envelope into his notebook.
He looked sideways at Ronaldinho and nodded. Xiao Luo hurriedly searched among the pile of materials at hand and handed over a printed page.
Director Sun took it and looked at it confidently.
He put down the page and looked at Li Ji meaningfully: "Then, how do you explain the 10,000 yuan in cash deposited on your bank card on August 5th?"
"On August 5th, deposit 10,000 yuan in cash?"
Li Jining frowned. After thinking about it, it seemed that no one had transferred money to him, so he shook his head: "No, I don't know."
"I don't know?" Director Sun smiled, "I found an extra 10,000 yuan in my account out of thin air, and I still say I don't know. Do you believe it?" As he said this, he winked at Ronaldinho and laughed loudly.
Ten thousand yuan?
Li Ji thought about it and suddenly remembered: "Then, when was it saved?"
"What time?"
Director Sun hesitated for a moment, then picked up the piece of paper and looked at it carefully.
"Yes,...it's August 5th, 7,...7:10, yes, 7:10,..."
"Yeah, I got it!"
Li Ji stood up immediately.
Director Sun was startled, stepped back, and hurriedly stood up: "You, what are you going to do?"
"That's the money someone else paid me back..."
Li Ji said and slowly sat down again.
"Someone else paid you back?" Director Sun looked suspicious, "Who is it?"
"Yes, yes..." Li Ji looked embarrassed and opened his mouth, "I, I don't know who it is..."
"You don't know who it is!" Director Sun's eyes almost popped out of his sockets. "Someone gave you ten thousand yuan, and you don't know who this person is?"
"Yes, I...I really don't know who this person is..."
Li Ji had a wry smile on his face and really didn't know how to explain it.
He knew it must be the money saved by Brother Tao and the others. But who is Brother Tao and who is the person who saves money? Li Ji has no idea.
"Haha, Li Ji, you are trying to coax children." Director Sun's face changed drastically, and his muscles twitched violently. "Ten thousand yuan, this is not a small amount. Who would save money for others for no reason, even a lunatic? You can’t do such stupid things.”
Li Ji was silent.
Taking a bribe of 10,000 yuan is enough to warrant a prison sentence.
After much thought, he couldn't find a suitable way to explain the origin of the ten thousand yuan.
"Yes, it was that person who took my money and later returned it..."
Li Ji grimaced, frowned and thought, then muttered.
"Who is that person? Did he borrow your money?"
"I, I don't know who he is. He seems to be called Brother Tao. ... As for the money, you can't say he lent it to me..."
Li Ji searched hard, trying hard to find the right words.
"You mean, you don't know this person?"
"Yes, I have met this man, but I don't know his name. Others seem to call him 'Brother Tao' or 'Tao Zi'..."
"Then you don't know this person or his name, so you lent him 10,000 yuan..."
"That's right," Li Ji's head got bigger. "You can't say that I lent him the money..."
"You didn't lend him the money, why would he save it for you?"
Director Sun finally sat down, panting heavily, staring hard at Li Ji, as if trying to find the answer he wanted from Li Ji's face.
"me......"
Li Ji really didn't know what to say.
"Li Ji, after talking for a long time, you have been running around in circles with me, hiding and cat."
Director Sun's face was livid, and his hand gently hit the table, shaking constantly.
"Director Sun, this money really belongs to me..."
Li Ji even wanted to kneel down to Director Sun.
"Li Ji!" Director Sun slammed the table, "You are obviously accepting bribes from customers, and you are still making up excuses to fight against the organization! I think you want to stay there for a few days..."
"Damn it, that's the money he extorted from me!"
Li Ji was so angry that he couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up!
