Chapter 1219: Director Zhang Regrets It Too Late!

"I am not very familiar with Chai Zhenkun; I only had a meal with him once." Zhang Nan tried hard to control her expression, looking bewildered and confused, appearing frank and fearless.

"One meal, and you leaked the planning for Yechuan County's Strategic Eastward Expansion to Chai Zhenkun. You really are quite casual!" Secretary Yan said with full oppressive force.

"I did not leak any confidential information. You are smearing me," Zhang Nan argued.

Secretary Yan took out a record.

"This is the record of Li Wenbo, Chai Zhenkun's subordinate. After acquiring the four gardens, Li Wenbo paid six million yuan to a company designated by you, under the guise of a consulting fee!"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Nan's forehead.

"This company has no direct relationship with me. I only recommended them. As an enterprise with strength and development goals, it is necessary to find a consulting company to provide policy consultation and services."

Secretary Yan tapped the paper surface, "However, as far as I know, the shareholders of this company are closely related to you. Your younger sister is one of the shareholders of this company."

Zhang Nan frowned and said, "Secretary Yan, I did not know that this company was related to my younger sister. Moreover, I have no financial dealings with this company."

Secretary Yan once again brought out new evidence.

"Zhang Nan, then please explain this! In August 2004, you once took the initiative to borrow 500,000 yuan from Chai Zhenkun. Chai Zhenkun ultimately did not make you repay this money."

Zhang Nan widened her eyes and lowered her head.

She did not expect that this matter had actually been uncovered by the Discipline Inspection Commission as well.

Secretary Yan subsequently brought up another matter, "In July 2005, Chai Zhenkun found you to resolve issues such as the approval of the concrete mixing plant project and land leasing, promising that as long as you provided help, he would offer 1 million yuan as a reward. Under the temptation of profit, you used the power in your hands to give the green light to everything Chai Zhenkun entrusted to you!"

Zhang Nan finally could not hold back and said tearfully, "Secretary Yan, I confess."

Secretary Yan did not expect Zhang Nan to give in so easily; he took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Zhang Nan.

"Tell us everything you have done!"

After Secretary Yan left, Zhang Nan picked up a fountain pen.

"I began to make excuses for myself, thinking that the occasional 'borrowing' was merely a stopgap measure, and that I would definitely find an opportunity to make it up in the future.

Thus, I stretched out my greedy hand for the first time, using public funds to purchase a luxury item I had long desired for myself.

The sense of satisfaction at that moment made me feel an unprecedented vanity and happiness, but it also set me on a path of no return."

"The mistakes began in August 2004! At that time, I led a team to Shenzhou for investment promotion and encountered a fraud gang that cheated me into gambling, leaving me with 500,000 yuan in high gambling debts.

At that time, in desperation, I contacted Chai Zhenkun.

He was very straightforward; the 500,000 was wired over immediately, and he even told me not to take it to heart, implying that there was no need to repay it.

In the years that followed, I repeatedly used the convenience of my position to put in a good word for his enterprise regarding project initiation approvals, settlement, administrative penalties, and other matters...

If one's thinking deviates by an inch, one's behavior will deviate by a foot.

Because I long neglected theoretical study and ideological transformation, I broke the bottom line of Party discipline and state law time and time again while indulging myself...

I did not manage the people around me well.

My husband had no money to speculate in stocks, so he went to the boss to borrow it.

My younger sister complained that her salary was low, so I arranged for her to go to a consulting company. I then provided policy convenience for this consulting company..."

The next morning, the staff member handed her confession to Secretary Yan.

"Zhang Nan's attitude in confessing is still very good. She cried while writing, and the paper was even dampened."

Secretary Yan did not reveal any emotion, "Do not believe the tears of any corrupt element. Let her continue to confess the criminal facts and explain all the problems clearly."

The staff member found Zhang Nan again, "This confession is not profound enough; you need to rewrite it."

Zhang Nan looked at the staff member in surprise, "I have already confessed everything."

"No, you must continue writing!" The staff member left the room directly.

In desperation, Zhang Nan could only continue to pick up her pen, struggling to recall her mistakes.

The second confession submitted was still sent back, with the reason being that it was still not profound enough.

Just like that, Zhang Nan initially still held onto a fluke, feeling that as long as she showed sincere emotions, she could obtain leniency.

However, the comrades of the Discipline Inspection Commission understood people like Zhang Nan too well.

Corrupt elements are all very cunning and know how to disguise themselves.

Only through constant pressure and torture can they be made to recognize their own mistakes.

Zhang Nan, mentally haggard, wrote another confession.

Writing out the mistakes she had committed time and time again was equivalent to constantly interrogating her own soul.

Zhang Nan felt that her intestines had turned green with regret!

Her soul was whipped over and over again.

If it weren't for that gambling incident, she wouldn't have borrowed money from Chai Zhenkun.

And she wouldn't have colluded with Chai Zhenkun!

During this period, Zhang Nan also constantly reviewed the situation.

She knew that she would have problems sooner or later.

But she had to know where things went wrong.

The final conclusion reached.

Tang Ye played a key role in it.

If he hadn't submitted the application to modify the scope of the demolition and relocation, it wouldn't have enraged Chai Zhenkun.

Chai Zhenkun wouldn't have been stimulated violently, as if his tail had been stepped on, leading him to make a series of stress reactions.

Zhang Nan could not figure out why she had been defeated by a Section Level cadre!

She looked down on Tang Ye at all; otherwise, she wouldn't have produced a project approval document with no opinions to fob Tang Ye off.

If she had known there would be today's situation, she might have communicated well with Tang Ye at the time and handled the relationship properly.

And ordered Chai Zhenkun to handle those four gardens in Yechuan according to Tang Ye's wishes.

However, there is no regret medicine in this world.

At this moment, she can only continue writing her confession letter over and over again!

……

"What, Zhang Nan was arrested by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?" When Gao Qidong heard this news, his eyebrows stood on end in shock!

He knew Zhang Nan's background and status.

To be able to hold a core position in a core department of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, there must be at least one Deputy Ministerial Level Official standing behind her!

Although Zhang Nan is a woman, her work ability is still very strong.

"Yes, she was arrested in the office. The discipline inspection personnel found many luxury goods in her office, comparable to a brand's retail counter," the Secretary reported in a low voice.

Gao Qidong said, "Director Zhang was not cautious enough!"

At Zhang Nan's level and position, it is actually not strange to like luxury goods.

Back then, Chai Zhenkun was introduced to him by Zhang Nan.

Gao Qidong has always kept his distance from Chai Zhenkun.

Usually, when Zhang Nan greeted him, he would have his subordinates cooperate.

However, he had no financial dealings with Chai Zhenkun.

He did not expect that Chai Zhenkun being arrested would have such a wide impact.

It was mainly because that mad dog Chai Zhenkun, having no regard for his own life, actually made a move against Jiang Jing's wife.

Jiang Jing's luck is truly quite good.

Although his wife and child almost met with disaster, because of this incident, he left a deep impression in the hearts of the leaders, which will surely add many points to his standing.

The image of an official who sacrificed so much for his work emerged spontaneously.

To put it bluntly, after this storm, Jiang Jing has completely secured his footing in Xiyang City, and his influence, reputation, and prestige have soared straight up!
