The Secret to Picking Up Girls

"Dad, you're back." Zhang Yuzhe smiled gently at his father, Zhang Yaoguo, and then sat down on the sofa beside him.

Zhang Yuzhe carefully observed his father's complexion and found that it was not bad, which reassured him a bit. Judging from his father's complexion, Zhang Yuzhe could guess that Tao Jie's matter was probably not very serious. After all, as a member of the Tao faction, if Zhang Yaoguo lost Tao Ruolan, the executive deputy mayor, to support him from above, his work below would not be easy to carry out, especially now that he was a department-level cadre in a district. The importance of having a strong backer was self-evident.

"Dad? What's the situation with Tao Jie's matter?" Zhang Yuzhe made a cup of tea for Zhang Yaoguo, handed it to him, and then asked casually.

Zhang Yaoguo glanced at Zhang Yuzhe, his expression gradually becoming serious. He looked at Zhang Yuzhe and said, "Who did you hear that from?"

Zhang Yuzhe sighed and said to Zhang Yaoguo, "Dad, this matter isn't a secret. It's been published in the newspapers. How could I not know?"

"What newspaper are you talking about?" Zhang Yaoguo stood up and looked at Zhang Yuzhe, his eyes unusually deep.

"The Nanmin Daily!" Zhang Yuzhe frowned and said to Zhang Yaoguo.

Zhang Yaoguo stood up and paced back and forth, seemingly thinking about something. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Zhang Yuzhe, who was still full of doubts, and then told him the whole story. Although Zhang Yuzhe was not a member of the officialdom, Zhang Yaoguo dared not underestimate his son after Zhang Yuzhe's series of performances when he brought Tao Ruolan to his door.

It turned out that when Tao Ruolan became the deputy mayor of Nanmin, before becoming the executive deputy mayor, she was in charge of municipal engineering. This municipal engineering could be considered a very lucrative area. It could be said that the contracting rights for all projects related to people's livelihood in the entire city were managed by municipal engineering. However, last week, the Jiangdong Bridge, which had an investment of 20 million yuan and had just been completed for less than two months, suddenly collapsed, resulting in a major accident with four deaths and two injuries. As the leader in charge, although Tao Ruolan was not directly responsible for the project, at this time, the manager of the construction company that contracted the project suddenly fled. If the responsibility could not be assigned, in order to give the public a satisfactory explanation, Tao Ruolan, as an indirectly responsible person, would definitely have to take the blame.

At this time, someone suddenly went to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to report that Tao Ruolan had taken bribes on the Jiangdong Bridge project. The deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection personally led a team to investigate the matter.
