"Blackmail you for money?"
Director Sun was startled again, but this time he was much calmer.
"Li Ji, please sit down first..." Director Sun glanced at Li Ji and pointed with his finger.
Li Ji sat down awkwardly and hit his forehead hard with his fist, crying and feeling so angry.
Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that the 10,000 yuan that was clearly his own would now become evidence of bribery. He was really more unjust than Dou E, so unjust.
Director Sun and Xiao Luo looked at each other, both of them were dubious.
"Then tell me, what's going on?"
After a moment of silence, Director Sun spoke.
Li Ji sighed, thought for a while, and roughly recounted what happened that afternoon and night.
After listening, Director Sun's eyes were fixed on the table and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Comrade Li Ji, everything you said is true? Are you not lying?"
Director Sun thought for a long time and finally spoke.
"Director Sun, can I still make up such a thing?" Li Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This is not a glorious thing..."
"Um......"
Director Sun took out the envelope and looked at it again, hesitating.
"The person who reported you to the People's Bank of China is also from Dongsheng Village. His name is Ma Tao."
"Ma Tao?"
"Yes," Director Sun looked at Li Ji, "could he be the 'Brother Tao' you mentioned?"
"possible."
Li Ji frowned.
"He said in the report letter that you promised to lend money to Dongsheng Construction Company at the base interest rate, but after taking 10,000 yuan, you failed to fulfill your promise..."
"Hey, isn't this nonsense?" The veins on Li Ji's forehead popped out, "I don't know anyone from Dongsheng Construction Company, how could I agree to lend it a loan?..."
Director Sun was silent again.
"You said you went to the police station that night?"
Director Sun wrote something down in his notebook and raised his head again.
"Well," Li Ji nodded, "If you don't believe me, you can ask. Director Wang is the cousin of President Wang of our branch."
"Well, we will verify it." Director Sun said, standing up, "However, Comrade Li Ji, you can't leave here until the matter is verified."
Damn, this is about to lock me up.
Li Ji couldn't help but feel a little angry, but there was nothing he could do.
This is the "normal procedure" for people to handle cases. Unless you plan to cause trouble for yourself and add insult to injury, it's better to be honest and obedient.
In most cases, "procedure" can explain many questions, and "normal procedure" can answer almost all questions. Although, sometimes, this "normal procedure" is often so "normal" that it is "abnormal".
Director Sun walked out of the "interrogation room".
Ronaldinho arranged the things on the table and smiled at Li Ji: "President Li, I have wronged you."
Li Ji forced a smile and didn't answer. You are already meat on someone else's chopping board, so what can you do if you don't feel aggrieved?
"President Li, I'm sorry, please leave your phone to me for safekeeping first."
Li Ji still said nothing, took out his mobile phone from his bag, turned it off directly, and handed it over.
"President Li, I'm right next door," Ronaldinho stepped forward to take the phone and pointed with his finger, "There is an inside line here. If you need anything, you can call me at any time."
When he reached the door, Xiao Luo turned around and said, "President Li, I will bring you dinner."
Li Ji nodded. I feel so angry and full whether I eat or not.
"Oh, President Li, I forgot to tell you, there is a bathroom inside."
Only then did Li Ji notice that there was a small wooden door next to it. After Xiao Luo finished speaking, he walked out and closed the door.
The room fell silent.
The sunlight on the small window has disappeared, and it is gray. The fluorescent lamp was extremely white, like a sad face covered with hoarfrost.
The walls are white and spotless.
Li Ji leaned back on the chair and looked around blankly. A kind of helplessness that invaded the bone marrow quietly hit his heart. Suddenly, he felt panic and worry that he had never experienced before.
I don't know how much time passed, but the door suddenly opened. Ronaldinho walked in, holding a big paper bag in his arms.
"President Li, the meal is here..."
Ronaldinho put the paper bag on the table with an excited look on his face: "President Li, thanks to you today, let's eat KFC!"
Li Ji didn't feel hungry and managed to eat a hamburger. Ronaldinho was not polite and swept away the rest, leaving only a paper cup of Coke for Li Ji.
Li Ji spread the mat that Xiao Luo brought in on the ground, and was about to lie down when he heard Xiao Luo say: "President Li, we have contacted the Chengdong Police Station. They said that Director Wang is on a business trip and will not be back until tomorrow."
Li Ji was a little disappointed and shook his head weakly: "Oh."
Xiao Luo threw the leftovers on the table into the convenience bag and smiled at Li Ji: "Director Sun will go there in person tomorrow. I guess you will be fine soon."
"oh......"
Li Ji responded with a long and drawn-out sound. It was unclear whether it was an answer or a sigh.
Ronaldinho is gone.
Li Ji lay down on the mat. Under the pale fluorescent light, it looked like a layer of silvery frost had fallen.
Li Ji's face was reflected in a light grayish white, and his two wide-open eyes were wooden, like two pits of despair.
Is the Ma Tao Director Sun mentioned the same 'Brother Tao' that night? If so, why did he report him?
Zheng Zhengming had already negotiated with Director Wang that day, and Brother Tao and the others returned the money in full.
Gratitudes and grievances are cleared up, and each other is at peace with each other. Why did he suddenly report himself to the People's Bank of China? Putting aside everything else, doesn’t being solemn about face not work?
Li Ji was thinking about it, and before he knew it, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
The first person Li Ji thought of was President Ye. If he didn't agree on the spot, President Ye would definitely be unhappy.
But he laughed immediately. What kind of important person is Li Ji? He is worthy of Mr. Ye's trouble. Besides, Mr. Ye is from out of town, how could he be involved with these people?
Is it Tao Shanming?
Possible, but unlikely.
The conflicts between himself and Tao Shanming were all caused by Han Mei. Now Han Mei has completely stopped contacting her, and Tao Shanming has officially started dating Han Mei.
Now, Li Ji is no longer an obstacle to Tao Shanming. He is very happy in love and wants to please the beauty, but at least he has no time to focus on himself at the moment.
Moreover, Li Ji now basically has a "green light" for Haitianda Company's loan from the Chengdong branch.
For the sake of future business convenience, Tao Shanming should be grateful to himself and have a good relationship with him. Why would he take the initiative to stir up trouble at this time?
Who is that? Could it be Tao Ping?
It's unlikely when you think about it.
Although Tao Ping is a shady person, he should disdain to use such methods unless he has no bottom line.
Is it Wang Shulan?
This possibility should be minimal.
He has no direct conflict with Wang Shulan, he is just a vice president.
Wang Shulan also knew very well that Li Ji had no ambitions, and he was not very interested in being the branch president. What's more, with her qualifications and relationship with Tao Ping, it is impossible to move her at the moment.
Could it be that Brother Tao is really dissatisfied and wants to vent his anger and take revenge on himself at all costs?
But Director Wang had already explained his relationship with Zheng Zheng to him. For someone like him who is a promiscuous person and has nothing to fear, the police should not dare to mess with him casually.
More importantly, Brother Tao was instigated by others and had no deep grudge against him. There was no reason or necessity to put himself to death.
Li Ji tossed and turned, thinking over and over again, but he was still confused and couldn't figure it out.
The fluorescent lights overhead became increasingly dazzling.
Li Ji closed his eyes.
Countless thoughts in my mind are like countless wild horses, running wildly and disorderly; they are also like countless bubbles floating in the air, which have burst silently before they are touched by hands.
Exhausted physically and mentally.
Drowsily, like dreaming or waking up.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Ji's consciousness gradually blurred, and he finally began to snore.
Early the next morning, when Xiao Luo opened the door and entered the house, Li Ji was still sleeping.
The sound of opening the door woke Li Ji up.
As soon as he got up, he felt sore all over his body and his bones seemed to be falling apart. He rubbed his eyes and was stunned for a long time before he suddenly woke up.
The fluorescent lamps are bright and white.
Ronaldinho put the soy milk and fried dough sticks on the table and asked with concern: "President Li, did you sleep well?"
good?
Li Ji smiled bitterly. It's weird to sleep well in this damn place.
"We have already contacted the Chengdong Police Station. Director Sun will go there as soon as he gets to work." Xiao Luo looked at Li Ji, "It's still hot. You can eat it quickly."
"Thank you so much, Ronaldinho. Thank you."
Li Ji was a little helpless. As a result of being reported and questioned, I had to live a life where food was given to me and people took care of me.
Hearing that Director Sun was going to the Chengdong Police Station today, Li Ji's restless mood calmed down a lot.
As long as Director Wang explains the situation, he will be fine. Thinking of this, Li Ji became even more generous and ate all the soy milk and fried dough sticks.
After Xiao Luo left, Li Ji paced back and forth in the room. Looking at the yellowish sunlight that just came through the window, I anxiously counted the time.
For a moment, he regretted not agreeing to President Ye on the spot yesterday.
Have you overestimated yourself?
You are just a small employee with no power. People want to use you simply because they think highly of you and have some value in using you. You still push three and four. Isn’t this shameless?
Wherever you go, it’s not all a human society. Is it possible that in the Rural Credit Cooperative, these rights and wrongs no longer exist?
No matter who you rely on. Relying on oneself and relying on others is not always the word "rely".
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The world is dangerous.
People in the arena involuntarily.
At this moment, Li Ji suddenly had no confidence in going to the Rural Credit Cooperative. Especially when I think of Han Mei, I feel extremely depressed.
Until lunch time, Director Sun was not seen back.
Li Ji felt inexplicably uneasy.
He could no longer sit still and kept walking around the room, keeping his ears open for movement at the door.
Time passed by minute by minute, but the door was always tightly closed.
The look on Li Ji's face became more and more serious, and he panicked.
The last ray of sunlight on the small window disappeared.
The light in Li Ji's eyes finally dimmed. He sat down on the chair, his whole body numb and his expression numb.
Just go and confirm, no matter how troublesome it is, it won't take a day.
What happened again?
Li Jiyin suddenly had a bad feeling.
At this time, footsteps sounded at the door. Li Ji suddenly raised his head and looked at the door nervously.
The door opened.
Director Sun walked in, followed closely by Ronaldinho.
Director Sun's face was flushed and his steps were a little unsteady. With the gust of wind blowing in, the intoxicating smell of alcohol also drifted over.
Li Ji stood up immediately.
Director Sun hiccupped and placed the water glass in his hand heavily on the table. He sat down on the chair and looked at Li Ji with a smile.
A stone suddenly fell to the ground in Li Ji's heart.
It's because I think too much and become suspicious. No wonder I came back so late, it turned out that I went drinking.
Although this place has food, drink, and people to serve it, it is really not a place for human beings. One day will be unbearable, and if you stay there any longer, you will go crazy.
Go back and take a good bath, eat a good meal, and then sleep well. It's passed.
Li Ji grabbed his bag and looked at Director Sun expectantly.
"Comrade Li Ji, we went to the Chengdong Police Station to investigate..."
Director Sun's smile was bright, and Li Ji felt strange warmth.
