Chapter 399: Zhong Xiaoai Asks for Help
After Zhong Xiaoai left angrily, she found it increasingly difficult to calm down.
As she walked, she recalled everything she had just seen and every bit of the past, and the resentment in her heart kept surging up in her mind like a tide.
She is Zhong Xiaoai! The little princess of the Zhong family, the apple of Zhong Zhengguo's eye.
Now, her husband is actually cheating on her. This is simply an insult to her and a huge humiliation to the entire Zhong family.
Many times, she impulsively wanted to pick up her phone and call her father, tell him about the grievances and hurt she had suffered, and then ask him to deal with Lu Tao.
However, every time she was about to press the call button, she hesitated.
After all, she couldn't easily talk about such an embarrassing thing, and she didn't want to become a laughing stock in the family.
Also, with a woman's keen intuition, Zhong Xiaoai felt that the woman did not love Lu Tao. From her various behaviors, it seemed more like she was acting, and she was performing it specifically for her.
After careful consideration, Zhong Xiaoai boldly speculated that Lu Tao had been framed and tricked.
However, this cannot be an excuse for Lu Tao to betray his marriage.
Regardless of whether someone was secretly manipulating it, the facts are there: Lu Tao did cheat and betrayed their marriage.
Zhong Xiaoai felt so angry when she thought that a little son-in-law dared to betray her.
After pondering for a moment, Zhong Xiaoai bit her lip and secretly vowed to take revenge.
After quickly thinking through the people she could turn to for help, she finally set her sights on Qi Tongwei.
Although the two families belong to different political camps, she and Qi Tongwei are not only senior and junior brothers and sisters, but they have also worked together before, so they can be said to have a strong bond.
At this moment, in order to realize her revenge plan, Zhong Xiaoai no longer cared about so much.
Even if it would mean she would become a knife in Qi Tongwei's hands, she would not hesitate.
Only by making Lu Tao and those who designed the trap pay the price can she calm the rage burning in her heart.
So he called Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei was also surprised to receive Zhong Xiaoai's call. He didn't know what she wanted to talk to him about, but he still instructed the driver to take her to his home.
"Zhong Xiaoai is coming to our house?" Pei Qianqian asked puzzledly.
"Well, I don't know what she means. Let's not guess. We'll know when we meet her later." Qi Tongwei had no intention of ringing the bell.
Strictly speaking, Zhong Xiaoai's appearance is just so-so, not even as good as Liang Lu!
Zhong Xiaoai came very quickly and arrived in a short time.
"Senior Brother Qi, I would like to ask you for a favor?" Zhong Xiaoai said straight to the point. She was not in the mood to be witty at the moment.
Although Qi Tongwei still had some doubts, he still followed Zhong Xiaoai's words and said, "Junior Sister Zhong, please feel free to ask. As long as I can help, I will do my best."
Although he said this, Qi Tongwei had plenty of ways to shirk responsibility if things really got difficult.
"I want you to transfer Lu Tao from his current position, preferably to a unit that manages money, and let me take over his current position." Zhong Xiaoai said gritting her teeth.
Qi Tongwei asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Zhong Xiaoai also knew that if she didn't tell the truth, Qi Tongwei would not help her.
He immediately explained: "Lu Tao cheated on me, and I want him to go to jail.
Tomorrow I will stop all of Lu Tao's assets. He has been accustomed to enjoying life. Once he goes to a unit that manages money, he will definitely be tempted to take advantage of it."
Qi Tongwei and Pei Qianqian looked at each other with curiosity. Qi Tongwei looked at Zhong Xiaoai with admiration. She was worthy of being the eldest daughter of a political family and her revenge was unique.
"Junior Sister Zhong, it is not difficult to transfer a position, but Lu Tao has worked in the anti-corruption department for many years after all, and he should not dare to be corrupt. Is it okay to do this?" Qi Tongwei asked curiously.
"Hmph, it's because he has worked in the anti-corruption department for many years and knows the anti-corruption investigation methods, so he thinks he can hide it. I know him, he is used to enjoying himself, so he will definitely not be able to resist taking advantage of it." Zhong Xiaoai explained.
"Okay, I'll help you with this! Let's do this, transfer Lu Tao to Lincheng and serve as deputy mayor, and let him be in charge of energy and housing construction. What do you think?" Qi Tongwei said after a little thought.
Faced with Zhong Xiaoai's request, he agreed without any hesitation.
Although Zhong Xiaoai has limited say in the Zhong family, why not do a favor that can be easily done?
“Thank you, Brother Qi! In addition, I also hope to take over Lu Tao’s position and take over the case he has been following up.
Lu Tao's cheating is unforgivable, and those who set him up won't be able to escape!" Zhong Xiaoai spoke rapidly, not giving Qi Tongwei a chance to interrupt.
She then added: "Brother Qi, don't worry. After I take office, I will strictly follow the rules of the officialdom and will never cause you any trouble.
Moreover, if you have someone you need to discipline or deal with, or if you have any particular goal you want to achieve, just tell me and I will definitely support you with all my strength! ”
Qi Tongwei stared quietly at Zhong Xiaoai, who had a firm gaze and a determined expression in front of him.
He couldn't help but think to himself: A woman seeking revenge can do anything. With her background, none of those who set up Lu Tao will be able to escape.
This deal is a win-win no matter how you look at it. Just by transferring Lu Tao, a large number of corrupt officials can be brought down. It's a win-win no matter how you look at it.
Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei immediately nodded, indicating that he agreed to Zhong Xiaoai's request.
After finishing the business, the three alumni sat down and talked about their college days, and Zhong Xiaoai temporarily put aside her bad mood.
The topic gradually turned to some curious past events, especially Qi Tongwei's emotional experience.
"Brother Qi, I have had a question in my mind for many years, and I still haven't figured it out.
Why didn't you agree to Teacher Liang Lu's pursuit back then? You know, she is the daughter of Secretary Liang Qunfeng!" Zhong Xiaoai asked curiously.
Qi Tongwei raised his head slightly, with a faint smile on his face: "Actually there is no special reason, I just simply don't like it."
His tone was light, but his eyes unconsciously flashed with an imperceptible complexity.
However, only Qi Tongwei himself knew the real reason, and he did not intend to tell this secret to anyone, not even Pei Qianqian.
No one would believe it if I told them that he was a reborn person. It was really too unbelievable.
Seeing that Qi Tongwei didn't want to talk about it, Zhong Xiaoai changed the subject: "Then why did you pursue Qianqian? She deliberately made herself ugly and looked like an ordinary person. She also concealed her family background."
What Zhong Xiaoai actually wanted to ask was why Qi Tongwei would rather pursue Pei Qianqian, who dressed up as an ugly woman, instead of pursuing herself.
Qi Tongwei smiled slightly, looked at Pei Qianqian who was sitting next to him tenderly, and said slowly: "The reason is not complicated, Qianqian failed to pretend to be ugly, so I discovered her beauty.
For me, the most important thing for me to find a girlfriend is that she is beautiful and talented, and her background doesn’t matter.”
In fact, he already knew Pei Qianqian's background.
"Speaking of Teacher Liang Lu, I heard that his relationship with Hou Liangping is average, and Hou Liangping is openly dating Zhao Xiaohui?" This is the answer that Zhong Xiaoai wants to know most.
"That's true. I've heard people talk about it, but I didn't ask in detail," Qi Tongwei explained.
Zhong Xiaoai nodded secretly. Lu Tao once said that he wanted to investigate Zhao Ruilong, and then he cheated on her soon after. She got the news of Lu Tao's cheating from Zhao Xiaohui.
All signs indicate that Lu Tao was framed by the Zhao siblings.
She was not going to let any of these people go.
Afterwards, the three of them talked about other issues until late at night.
