Chapter 97 Blood Splattered on the Spot, Voluntarily Confessing His Crime
Fan Jianfeng's arrival changed the situation completely.
Actually, Fan Jianfeng shouldn't have come, because he's not in good health. He developed lung disease from drinking too much over the years and had major surgery last year. The provincial company leaders have spoken with him many times, asking him to share more of the burden with Zeng Huihuang.
Zeng Huihuang is indeed capable, extremely capable. The listed company has only been around for a few years, and his limelight has already completely overshadowed him. Thus, the rumor arose that he was transferred to the provincial company and Zeng Huihuang became the top leader.
It's not a rumor, really. Given this trend, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Fan Jianfeng doesn't care. He's been the top leader for so many years, and he's already old and has no hope of promotion. Finding a place to retire would be a good thing.
But for now, he is still the nominal head of the Ning City Company, and he cannot allow anyone to play tricks under his nose.
After everyone sat down again, Zeng Huihuang's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a solemn expression of deep sorrow. He glanced at the so-called new test report, then looked at Tan Huasheng as if he had just realized Tan Huasheng's true colors.
He grabbed the new test report from the table, slammed it down, and his voice was so loud it made your eardrums vibrate: "Tan Huasheng! Tell me honestly, what's going on with this report? Did you forge it? Is there a problem with the dam at Wushan Water Station?!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Huasheng was completely stunned. He stared at Zeng Huihuang in disbelief, beads of sweat instantly forming on his forehead. He then looked around at the people around him, especially Fan Jianfeng, his lips trembling as he stammered, "This, this, I~"
Zeng Huihuang shouted again, "Hua Sheng, you must be open and honest in your dealings with people. If it's true, it's true; if it's not, it's not. I remember you once told me that you were willing to accept any punishment from the company and to sacrifice for the company. You must show that attitude."
Tan Huasheng's expression turned extremely ugly. He stood there, as if the world was spinning around him. He didn't know why things had turned out this way. Everyone was judging him: "President Zeng, old leader, during the acceptance inspection of the Wushan water station, I strictly followed your instructions. You can't—"
Lin Chen stood to the side, remaining silent throughout, coldly observing the farce, a mocking smile playing on his lips. Didn't everyone present know the truth? They were just pretending to be ignorant, putting on a show of dogs fighting each other.
Zeng Huihuang's eyes were filled with anger and disappointment as he stared straight at Tan Huasheng: "Comrade Tan Huasheng, I'm asking you now, what kind of instructions did I give you? I have always emphasized that the quality of the project is the bottom line, a matter of life and death."
I asked you to ensure the quality of the project and complete it as soon as possible within reasonable and legal limits, right? I'm extremely busy and can't handle everything personally; I can only grasp the general direction. The specific construction and acceptance are your responsibility. I really didn't expect you to cause so much trouble behind my back. I'm truly disappointed in you.
Tan Huasheng felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground. Fear and despair overwhelmed him. He realized his former boss was being used as a scapegoat to protect himself. His voice was hoarse: "President Zeng, you can't do this to me! You said you'd follow up on the project, and you asked me to sign off before..."
'
"Shut up!" Zeng Huihuang roared, even stepping forward and pointing at Tan Huasheng's nose, cursing, "I was blind back then! How could I have believed your nonsense that the Wushan Water Station project was foolproof? Look at the shady things you've done! You cut corners by using C20 instead of C35 concrete, and the thickness of the anti-seepage layer was reduced by half! You're playing with the lives of ordinary people!"
Tan Huasheng panicked completely. He wanted to defend himself and implicate Zeng Huihuang, but when the words reached his lips, he found himself speechless. Every page of the acceptance report on the table was signed in Tan Huasheng's handwriting, and there wasn't a single word of Zeng Huihuang's on the original test reports. All the documents that required him to take responsibility were signed by Tan Huasheng alone.
Tan Huasheng was pale and weak. He realized that this was a trap that had been set up long ago, a trap that would allow him to be pushed out to take the blame at any time.
"No—that's not how it is—" Tan Huasheng's voice grew softer and softer, his confidence completely gone. Looking at Zeng Huihuang's righteous and stern face, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He was by Zeng Huihuang's side, yet there was not a single piece of evidence that he had accepted bribes. As for the mansions, he did own several, but none of them were in his name. As for the women coming and going, what was the point?
You say which leader doesn't have a few women? It's not like he has several wives. It's just a matter of casual flings, a harmless issue of conduct. What's the big deal?
Seeing that Tan Huasheng had completely lost the strength to resist and lay sprawled on the ground like a puddle of mud, Zeng Huihuang's tone suddenly softened, even carrying a hint of "regret": "Huasheng, no matter what, you are someone I personally trained, and I have feelings for you. You made a mistake, and I also bear responsibility; it was my negligence in supervision and incompetence in hiring you. But it's alright, no one is perfect. As long as you are willing to admit your mistakes and correct them, you are still a good comrade. President Fan is here today, so if you take the initiative to explain the situation to President Fan now, turning the passive situation into the active one, I believe President Fan will be willing to give you another chance, just like I am."
Tan Huasheng lay vacantly on the ground, his eyes vacant, his soul seemingly long since departed from the heavens. Lin Chen stood to the side, coldly watching this absurd farce, his mockery deepening.
How similar this scene is! Back then, during the collapse of the Jiulong Bridge in Shuanglong District of Suicheng, how arrogant and dismissive Tan Huasheng was towards Director Guan Cong? Now, it's just a matter of fortunes changing. Tan Huasheng has become the once-glorious Guan Cong, someone who was at the mercy of others, a perfect replica of himself back then.
Seeing that Tan Huasheng remained silent like a wooden statue, Zeng Huihuang immediately turned to Fan Jianfeng, his face filled with self-reproach: "President Fan, it's all my fault for lax supervision and poor judgment in personnel selection, which has caused such a huge mess at the Wushan water station. I'm willing to take joint responsibility!"
Fan Jianfeng stared at him for a few seconds, his face expressionless, before finally speaking slowly, his voice so calm it betrayed no emotion: "President Zeng, what do you think should be done?"
Zeng Huihuang blurted out, his tone resolute and ruthless: "I hate those who neglect their duties the most. I suggest that they be severely punished without any leniency. Remove Tan Huasheng from all his posts and hand him over to the relevant departments for investigation!"
So cruel!
"puff"
Before he could finish speaking, a mouthful of blood gushed from Tan Huasheng's mouth, splattering onto the white wall of the conference room, blooming into a glaring blood flower. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted instantly.
"Save them!" The meeting room erupted in chaos.
When the ambulance arrived, Zeng Huihuang was very proactive and insisted on personally taking Tan Huasheng there. He then stayed by Tan Huasheng's bedside for a full day and night.
It is said that this persistence moved Tan Huasheng, and the next day Tan Huasheng took the initiative to submit a written confession to Fan Jianfeng regarding all the facts of his dereliction of duty at the Wushan Water Station. He also admitted that he had been bewitched and had accepted 20 yuan from the construction company, which he has now returned in full.
