Chapter 290: Smart Ghost
The director of the prison office is surnamed Chen, and his full name is Chen Wei. He is nicknamed "the shrewd ghost" and is very good at scheming.
It was precisely because of his scheming that he was able to climb step by step from an ordinary prison guard to his current position.
After Supervisor Wang left, Chen Wei directly opened the letter of complaint and began to read it.
"Jiang Yongbiao?"
Chen Wei had an impression of the prisoner Jiang Yongbiao because the crime he committed was too special. He caused more than 20 people to suffer from food poisoning due to negligence, which was not a common thing.
Chen Wei looked at it slowly.
When he saw Guangyuan Cannery and Zhong Yuanbing's name, Chen Wei couldn't help but smile.
He knows Zhong Yuanbing.
Not only did he know him, he had even had a drink with Zhong Yuanbing. He knew that Zhong Yuanbing's uncle was the deputy county magistrate of Teng County, and he also knew that the Guangyuan Cannery in Teng County was Zhong Yuanbing's property.
In the one-third acre of land in Teng County, Zhong Yuanbing is definitely one of the most important people.
"This is such a coincidence." Chen Wei's mouth corners slightly raised.
He never imagined that this letter of complaint was actually written by Jiang Yongbiao to report Zhong Yuanbing.
Sitting back at his desk, Chen Wei opened the drawer and began to rummage through a pile of business cards.
After a while, he found a business card with the name of Guangyuan Cannery and General Manager Zhong Yuanbing printed on it.
“It’s really here.”
Chen Wei rolled up his sleeves and glanced at the Shanghai-brand watch on his wrist. It was already past 7 o'clock in the evening.
At this time, all units had already gone off work, and he was not sure whether he could get through the phone call.
After thinking about it, I finally dialed the number on the card.
Beep beep...beep beep...
At this time, Zhong Yuanbing was in the office, reviewing the bidding documents that had just been revised.
The phone on the table suddenly rang, and Zhong Yuanbing put down the bid documents and picked it up.
"Hey, who is that?"
The call went through, and a smug smile appeared on Chen Wei's face.
"Boss Zhong, I'm Chen Wei from Taihe City Prison. I wonder if you still remember me."
Zhong Yuanbing was stunned when he heard this. He recalled carefully in his mind and then remembered who Chen Wei was, whom he had only met a few times.
"It's Director Chen. It's been a long time since we last met."
"Why are you calling me at this hour? Is there something wrong?"
Seeing that Zhong Yuanbing still remembered him, Chen Wei's smile became even wider.
"I don't have anything serious to say. I just wanted to ask, Boss Zhong, if you know someone named Jiang Yongbiao?"
Chen Wei played with the letter of complaint in his hand and spoke softly.
When he heard Jiang Yongbiao's name, Zhong Yuanbing's eyelids jumped and he moved closer to the phone involuntarily.
"Jiang Yongbiao? Who is this person?" Zhong Yuanbing pretended to be confused and replied tentatively.
Chen Wei had worked in prison for many years, and he could tell from the tone of his voice that Zhong Yuanbing was pretending.
He simply didn't point it out, but instead pretended, "Boss Zhong, don't you know him? That's really strange. Jiang Yongbiao is a prisoner here, sentenced to over three years for negligent injury. You don't know him, but he seems to know you. Furthermore, this guy even wrote a letter of denunciation, saying that you coerced him into taking the blame for you. The letter also said that you deliberately planned the poisoning, and it wasn't an accident at all."
"I have this letter of complaint in my hands. Since Boss Zhong doesn't know this person, he must have deliberately framed you. These days, prisoners are dishonest and always like to stir up trouble. As a director, I can't do anything about it. I can only let them write nonsense. I'll send the letter of complaint to the warden later and ask them to arrange for someone to verify it."
As Zhong Yuanbing listened to Chen Wei's words, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and the veins on his forehead began to jump.
Jiang Yongbiao actually reported him in prison? How could he, who couldn't even read a short essay, write a report?
"Of course, Boss Zhong is definitely not afraid of being investigated, right?" Chen Wei said the last word "right" so lightly, even with a hint of joking.
Zhong Yuanbing couldn't help but clench his hand around the microphone.
"Director Chen, I just remembered that the person you mentioned seemed to have worked in our factory before."
Hearing this, Chen Wei on the other end of the phone became even more proud.
Leaning back on the chair, resting her head on it, she said lightly, "Is that so."
"Boss Zhong, your current situation isn't very good. I see this letter of complaint is well-written. It's possible that the higher-ups will actually accept it. If an investigation is launched, no matter what the outcome, it won't be a good thing for you, Boss Zhong."
Zhong Yuanbing is in this circle, so he is naturally not stupid.
This Chen Wei received the letter of accusation, but instead of handing it in, he called me and revealed the news to me. His intention did not need to be stated explicitly, and everyone knew it.
In this case, there is still time to slow down this matter.
"Director Chen, this Jiang Yongbiao you're talking about is just an ordinary worker in our factory. I didn't expect that he would want to bite me even after being imprisoned. He's really hateful."
"Although I'm not afraid, I feel helpless when I encounter such misfortune. I wonder if Director Chen would be willing to honor me. I'll find a quiet place and treat you to a simple meal. I'd also like to ask Director Chen for advice on how to guard against such villains."
Some of Zhong Yuanbing's words were flawless and full of sincerity.
Seeing that Zhong Yuanbing was so understanding, Chen Wei stopped being so reserved.
Taking advantage of this, he said, "I've worked in prisons for so many years, and I do have some experience in dealing with these kind of vicious prisoners. However, I usually don't share it with others easily. Since Boss Zhong wants to hear it, I can't refuse your face.
How about this? I'm on vacation tomorrow and have some free time. I've heard that the Zhenweiju Restaurant in Teng County is run by a descendant of the imperial chef, and they serve dishes reserved for the emperor. I've always wanted to try it, but it's too far away, so I've never had the chance to go. How about we meet there?"
Zhenweiju?
Why did you choose this when there are so many other options?
Zhong Yuanbing's brows were squeezed into the shape of a "川" character.
Ever since his plan to frame Li Youcai failed, both sides have been full of hatred for each other, and he has never been to Zhenweiju again.
Now, with his name, he probably can’t even book a private room at the Zhenwei Bureau.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Wei saw that Zhong Yuanbing didn't reply for a long time, so he said, "Why, Boss Zhong, you are reluctant to let me go, right?"
"Director Chen, to be honest, there is some rift between me and the boss of Zhenweiju," Zhong Yuanbing said frankly.
"So that's how it is. I'm sorry for being so presumptuous. Let's go to Shuangfu Restaurant in Taihe. Their fish is also very good." Chen Wei was a little disappointed, but he didn't insist on choosing Zhenweiju.
"No problem, I'll definitely bring some good wine, and we'll get drunk."
