Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

When Cao Zhiqiang smiled and threatened Director Li, Director Li was obviously stunned for a moment, never expecting that Cao Zhiqiang would dare to say these words to him.

But soon, Director Li frowned slightly, and then nodded slightly, indicating that he recognized Cao Zhiqiang's threat.

There was no way, because Director Li knew that Cao Zhiqiang was none other than Cao Zhiqiang. He really had that kind of connections and energy, otherwise the publishing house wouldn't be able to start a business.

What's more, strictly speaking, Director Li is indeed at fault for this matter.

"Xiao Cao, don't worry." Director Li chuckled, "I just wanted to tell you about Niu Shufen's situation. It didn't mean that I would always protect her.

In fact, if I really want to protect her now, why should I tell you this? Do you think so?"

Cao Zhiqiang was right. If Director Li really wanted to protect Niu Shufen now, he could just give the order directly. There was no need to tell him so much.

Especially since there is a lot of dark history involving Factory Director Li, this is obviously the handle.

Now, Factory Director Li takes the initiative to tell himself these dark histories. Doesn't this mean that he is giving himself the leverage?

Huh? It sounds a bit familiar.

When I framed him, no, when I took the initiative to defend against Wei Dajun, I also took the initiative to give a lot of clues to Yang An'an and Jin Xiuying, as well as Doctor Wu and Police Officer Zhou Jianguo.

Although when he did it, he felt a little hasty and had to reveal the flaws, but he didn't worry about anything afterwards.

Because once those things are done, everyone will be a grasshopper on the same rope, and at least in the short term, everyone will not be at odds with each other.

As for the future, it doesn't matter, because once this kind of thing is confirmed, if someone wants to go back on it in the future, it will be in vain because there is no evidence.

In the final analysis, in the country during this period, the key is to see who is more wealthy and powerful, who has greater power and a deeper background.

As long as Cao Zhiqiang remains rich, powerful and well-established, those people will not dare to renege on him afterwards, because it will be useless to renege on him and they will be labeled as false accusations.

Reality is not a TV series. Once something is established, it is not that easy to change it later.

Especially in the era when later generations still pay attention to evidence, it will be even more difficult to overturn the case.

Furthermore, conflicts of interest usually occur when there is a huge conflict of interest.

But is there any conflict of interest between Cao Zhiqiang and those insiders? Absolutely not.

On the contrary, those insiders have benefited from Cao Zhiqiang and will continue to rely on Cao Zhiqiang in the future.

Forget about Jin Xiuying, she is now regarded as Cao Zhiqiang's woman. After all, Cao Zhiqiang has kept his promise and "supported" Jin Xiuying.

There is no problem with Yang An'an. He is already Cao Zhiqiang's driver, and now Cao Zhiqiang has paid to send him to a driving school. Moreover, Yang An'an has a good nature and attaches great importance to love and justice. Once such a person identifies someone, as long as he does not infringe,

His bottom line is that it is difficult to betray him.

Not everyone is fed by unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. After all, there are still a minority of people who are good at it.

Dr. Wu is not a problem. He has a wife and children to support, and he is a doctor. Once he betrays him, he will lose his job or even go to jail. After all, he has made many mistakes in the whole process.

, that is not a mistake, but a crime.

Not to mention Zhou Jianguo, he is a policeman himself, but he knows the law and breaks the law, and takes the initiative to help Cao Zhiqiang revise his religion. It would be fine if this is not exposed. Once it is exposed, he will definitely be the worst among these people, and he will be jailed.

On the other hand, Cao Zhiqiang, the instigator, seems to be the most dangerous, but is actually the safest.

why?

Because during the entire frame-up process, Cao Zhiqiang did not leave any actual evidence of frame-up.

Well, it can't be said that there were no questions left, but those questions had been revised by Zhou Jianguo a long time ago, and afterwards, through Cao Zhiqiang, he secretly vented his anger on Dr. Wu and others, asking Dr. Wu, Yang An'an and others to change their confessions.

In this way, even if someone comes to review the confession in the future, there won't be any problems with the confession.

Let’s carefully review the whole process of framing the Wei army.

Cao Zhiqiang really had bleeding and was really hospitalized.

As for the bleeding, there was a blood-stained handkerchief and Dr. Wu’s professional identification as evidence.

Hospitalization also has related hospitalization procedures and treatment lists.

There were also reports from the Peking Youth Daily and endorsements from leaders at all levels of the Hongguang Machinery Factory.

It can be said that if someone questions whether Cao Zhiqiang's assassination was fake, then according to the principle of whoever doubts it, he must find sufficient evidence to overturn all the evidence chain.

However, it is too difficult to overturn these evidence chains. You must falsify all links.

To achieve falsification, it was okay to check it out at the time, but over time, it would be a fool's errand to falsify it.

And, as mentioned before, even if you really find enough evidence, or let Officer Zhou, Dr. Wu, Yang Ping An and others all turn against you and say that Cao Zhiqiang was not stabbed and that he was pretending to be ill, it doesn't matter.

As long as Cao Zhiqiang insists that he was stabbed, there is nothing you can do.

Because you can't turn back time and go to the scene to open Cao Zhiqiang's wounds for everyone to see.

It is useless to rely only on witnesses, especially to identify a state-owned enterprise boss. It is useless to rely on just a few witnesses.

On the contrary, for those "rebellious witnesses" who identified Cao Zhiqiang, Cao Zhiqiang only needed one false accusation and asked them to produce evidence to silence those witnesses.

It's very simple, so much time has passed and you can't prove that Cao Zhiqiang was not stabbed at that time. You have no physical evidence!

On the other hand, Wei Dajun's group, even if they did not stab Cao Zhiqiang, when they arrested them, they did find many prohibited weapons, such as knives and firearms, but these were enough.

What's more, afterward, under Zhou Jianguo's coercion and inducement, those people all gave in and confessed, admitting the fact that they besieged Cao Zhiqiang and that it was Wei Jun who stabbed him.

To put it bluntly, in the entire process of framing the Wei army, Cao Zhiqiang, the instigator, was actually the safest. Especially later on, when the evidence became more important, Cao Zhiqiang became safer.

On the contrary, people like Zhou Jianguo have no actual leverage to threaten Cao Zhiqiang.

To put it more bluntly, people like Zhou Jianguo actually helped Cao Zhiqiang to hand over their names.

On the surface, it seems that these people are all handing over their handles, but handles have different weights.

Once people like Zhou Jianguo plead guilty, no matter if they were used as tainted witnesses or something else, they would be doomed.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, as long as he refuses to admit it, no one can do anything to him.

This is the difference in class status, influence, and results.

To put it more bluntly, this is the difference between big people and little people.

If it were so easy to bring down a big shot, there wouldn't be so many tragic... TV series.

On the contrary, if Cao Zhiqiang was brought down, it would definitely not be because of lack of evidence or a dark history. It could only be because Cao Zhiqiang offended some big shot that he could not afford to offend and failed during the struggle. That's all.

.

Having said that, Cao Zhiqiang's status today is no longer a little shrimp that can be rubbed around.

If nothing else, the relationship between Cao Zhiqiang and Secretary Dong is not something that Director Li can compete with.

The fundamental reason why Secretary Dong took a fancy to Cao Zhiqiang was that Secretary Dong knew that Cao Zhiqiang knew the boss of the Metallurgical Department.

Even Factory Director Li only found out about Cao Zhiqiang's relationship through Secretary Dong.

From this perspective, Factory Director Li is actually inferior to Secretary Dong, and even inferior to Cao Zhiqiang in terms of status.

Of course, if Cao Zhiqiang does things unreasonably, Director Li will naturally not be afraid.

But now it's clear that Cao Zhiqiang is right about this matter.

If Director Li still wants to continue to suffer the same consequences as he did when he protected Niu Shufen, then the final outcome can only be that he will not be able to protect himself in his old age.

Factory Manager Li should know this truth.

Now that he knows that Cao Zhiqiang has this kind of background, what is he doing...

Wait, if that's the case, why did Director Li expose his own weakness?

This is obviously not right?

"Director Li." Cao Zhiqiang frowned when he thought of this, "Since you never thought about protecting Niu Shufen, why don't you help me?"

"Why didn't I help you?" Director Li asked in surprise, "If I didn't help you, why would I call you over and tell you so much?"

Cao Zhiqiang continued to frown: "What kind of help is this? If you are really willing to help me, you should agree to what I said on the phone and immediately send someone over to check the accounts while Niu Shufen is still locked in the editorial office, especially to check me.

The company’s treasury?”

"Hey, Xiao Cao, you are stupid!" Director Li shook his head, "If you want to deal with Niu Shufen, tell me, given our current relationship, can I still help you?

But if you suddenly do this, even if Niu Shufen is really convicted in the end, it will be detrimental to you."

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned: "How do you say this?"

Director Li chuckled, adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, squinted his eyes and said:

"Xiao Cao, I told you so much before to tell you that Niu Shufen's identity is not simple. Even though her father is gone now, many of her relatives are still there.

Now if you use this method to get Niu Shufen, even if it is proved that she embezzled public funds, she will not admit it.

Because she will say that it was you who avenged a private vendetta, you were the one who retaliated, and you were the one who framed me."

At this point, as if he saw that Cao Zhiqiang was about to speak, Director Li waved his hand: "Don't be impatient yet, just listen to what I have to say."

Immediately afterwards, Director Li said again: "Look, I know a little bit about the situation of your publishing house. You don't have a complete accounting system and there are not enough accountants. All entries and exits are done manually, and

Niu Shufen is basically in charge alone, am I right?"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Yes, that's the case, but it's basically clear how much money you make.

After all, so far, for the project "Journey to Jianghu", our publishing house has records in the warehouse of how many books have been published, and how much money has been returned, and there is also an account.

When we look back, we just need to match how much money we make with the amount of money in our bank account, right?

As long as they don't match up, isn't it just Niu Shufen who is committing theft?"

Factory Director Li chuckled: "What you said is hasty. Let me ask you first, what if Niu Shufen did not guard against theft and the amount was correct?"

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "That at most means she has not broken the law, but after this experience, everyone knows that I don't trust her. If I use you to remove her again, no one will say anything, right?"

Director Li smiled: "It's so easy.

Believe it or not, if you do this, if there is nothing wrong with the final accounts, she will definitely say that you framed you, that you made a false accusation, and will even sue you. She will keep pestering you like a dog-skin plaster and ruin your reputation every day.

What's more, if you lock her in the room now, she can sue you for illegal detention, do you understand?"

Cao Zhiqiang continued to frown: "This is very troublesome, but I don't believe she can not take action, and I don't believe her hands are clean. If this is really the case, there is no need for her to stand up to me now. She must be feeling guilty."

Director Li nodded: "Yes, this may be very big. Then suppose there is a problem with the accounts. Based on my understanding of Niu Shufen, she must have tampered with the accounts when doing them. At least the accounting books should be fine. The only ones with problems are

It could be that the amount of money in the treasury is wrong, a little less.

Here comes the problem. The amount of money in the treasury is wrong, so it may not necessarily be Niu Shufen’s money.

If you say that Niu Shufen was caught stealing, she can say that you took it yourself, and then use it to frame her.

Unless you have actual evidence to prove that Niu Shufen really took the money, such as physical evidence, you can convict her.

Otherwise, without evidence and with Niu Shufen’s family power, you can’t touch her!”

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang was stunned.

That's right, he really didn't expect so much.

Thanks to Director Li's analysis, he discovered that touching Niu Shufen was indeed a problem.

Because of the current rules, whoever reports the crime has to give evidence.

If he wants to accuse Niu Shufen of committing theft, he must provide evidence.

However, if Niu Shufen did everything right on the books, but there was less cash in the vault, it may not be proved that it was Niu Shufen who took it.

After all, theoretically speaking, anyone can go to the vault in the office building to steal money, especially Cao Zhiqiang who still lives in the office building. It seems more convenient and more motivated, assuming he wants to touch Niu Shufen.

It would be fine if Niu Shufen was a nobody, but Niu Shufen is not simple, so it is difficult to convict her without solid evidence.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang frowned deeply again: "So, you want me to let Niu Shufen go?"

"Of course we can't let it go." Director Li smiled slightly, "There are some things that you either don't do, but once you do it, you must do it to the end!

For example, Niu Shufen, now that she has broken up with you, it is useless even if you show kindness, because it will only make her think that you are easy to bully, and she will become even worse in the future.

However, if you show mercy now, you can temporarily paralyze her."

"Temporarily paralyze her?" Cao Zhiqiang blinked, "What do you mean?"

Director Li smiled again: "You are still too young and too impatient to find the right key issues.

Let me ask you, what is the most critical point in dealing with Niu Shufen, or in other words, in trying to convict Niu Shufen?"

"Where is the most critical point?" Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while, "Find the evidence that she was guarding and committing theft?"

"That's right!" Director Li nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang said: "But didn't you say that there is less money in the treasury and I don't have evidence to prove that she took it? Because theoretically, I can also take it."

Director Li smiled: "Yes, it is indeed difficult to start with the cash in your vault, but what if her criminal evidence was created by ourselves?"

"Ah?" Cao Zhiqiang opened his mouth, "Make it yourself?"

Director Li smiled: "To convict her, the evidence must be complete and irrefutable. But we have no evidence that Niu Shufen actually took more money from the treasury, so it is difficult to convict her in this aspect."

The only way is to start with the ledger!

Have you forgotten how Niu Shufen escaped punishment back then?

Just because she burned the ledger.

But why did she burn the ledger?

Isn’t it because she lacked experience back then and kept everything in the account books, so once the accounts are checked, problems can be found?

But if she burns the account books, she can die without any evidence!

Now, we can go in the opposite direction and tamper with your unit's account books."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned and said: "You mean, we forged the account books ourselves? But the account books are all handwritten, so it is difficult to imitate her handwriting."

Director Li smiled slightly: "Yes, it is difficult to imitate handwriting, and forging account books cannot be done in a short time, but who said I should forge account books? Can't I destroy the account books?"

"Destroy the ledgers?" Cao Zhiqiang opened his mouth wide, "You mean..."

"That's right!" Director Li narrowed his eyes, "As an accountant, the account books she controlled were suddenly burned. If it can be proven that she burned the account books privately, then she, the accountant, will not be able to escape responsibility. We will

It can be handled seriously according to factory regulations.

If during this period, we find that the money in the publishing house's treasury does not match the original, then her behavior is a complete form of self-defeat.

In this case, she must prove that she did not steal the public property!

If you can't prove it, then she did it because she burned the ledger!

This is a causal relationship, do you understand?"

"This, that..." Cao Zhiqiang blinked, "Why do we need to prove first that she burned the account books and that the lack of money in the treasury was because she was stealing?"

"Because she has to explain why she burned the account books, and why after burning the account books, there will be less money in the treasury. She has to prove her innocence. If she cannot prove her innocence, she is guilty. Do you understand?"

"Then, what if there is no shortage of money in the treasury?"

"Idiot, if there is no shortage in the treasury, won't you let it decrease? You won't take it yourself? Anyway, it's you and me who have the final say whether there is any shortage?"

"Hiss..." Cao Zhiqiang took a breath, "That makes sense!"

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang asked: "But in terms of specific implementation, I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?"

"Don't worry!" Factory Manager Li narrowed his eyes, "As long as you agree, I will make my own arrangements. Just follow me!"

Immediately afterwards, Director Li explained his entire plan in Cao Zhiqiang's ear.

After listening, Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Director Li, isn't this too cruel? Moreover, are the people who do this reliable?"

Director Li took off his glasses, took out a piece of glasses cloth from the cloth pocket on his left chest, and began to clean his glasses carefully.

While wiping his eyes, he said: "Don't worry, Xiao Chen is my confidant. When he was a foreigner, he was able to stay and work in the capital only because of my arrangement.

Not only that, I later introduced his wife, I arranged for his children to go to school, and I even helped pay for his mother’s funeral.

He has been with me for so many years and has always done things reliably. If he does it himself, there will be no problem."

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "So, you have thought about this plan a long time ago?"

Director Li nodded and continued to clean his glasses: "From the time you called me, I knew that this matter could not be solved, and I had thought about doing this for a long time.

I told you about my past before, saying that I had protected Niu Shufen, and I also wanted to be honest with you so that you would not have any doubts. Do you understand what I mean?"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "I understand, but since you protected Niu Shufen before, why do you do this now?"

Factory Director Li sighed: "Although I am not a professional, I am still conscientious. At least I understand some basic principles.

For a group, some people are worth protecting, but some people are not worth protecting.

People like Niu Shufen, who are greedy and ignorant, are not worth protecting!

When I spared Niu Shufen, I was forced by circumstances and secondly to repay my kindness.

However, my tolerance has limits.

It would be fine if Niu Shufen just changed her ways.

But now she actually put her hands into our publishing house again.

I can't bear this anymore."

Taking a deep breath, Director Li put on his shiny new glasses, and his face seemed to be bathed in a holy light.

"Now that I am about to retire, I have to stand up for the last time, helping you clear the way and eliminate insects."

Speaking of this, Director Li patted Cao Zhiqiang on the shoulder: "We are old, and the future is yours! Our glorious Hongguang Machinery Factory needs more people like you, not the kind of unrepentant Niu Shufen

scum!"
