I asked you to pursue a career, but you turned out to be a scumbag

The room was very quiet; the only sounds that could be heard were the rustling of papers and the occasional whispered conversation.

More than a dozen people lowered their heads, concentrating on reading the documents in their hands, as if whatever happened in the outside world had nothing to do with them.

Even Xiao Wenxuan and Xu Mingyang didn't notice.

Seeing this, Xiao Wenxuan clapped his hands lightly, making a crisp sound: "Pa pa pa!"

He raised his voice and shouted, "Everyone, stop what you are doing!"

Hearing this voice, the people in the room raised their heads as if they had just woken up from a dream. Their eyes first swept over Xiao Wenxuan and Xu Mingyang, and then quickly fell on Zhang Hao.

Everyone was secretly wondering about Zhang Hao's identity. Why did he appear with Director Xiao and Director Xu?

And judging by their posture, it seemed like they had a rather close relationship. Many people looked at them with curiosity and scrutiny; after all, such a scene was not common.

Since no one had seen Zhang Hao in the Provincial Procuratorate before, although everyone was full of doubts, they could not guess his background for a while.

Xiao Wenxuan smiled as he slowly scanned everyone in the room. He then spoke solemnly, "Everyone, let me introduce the person standing next to me. His name is Zhang Hao. I specially seconded him from the Hanjiang City Procuratorate to help!"

"I hope everyone can work together and cooperate closely to successfully solve this difficult case as quickly as possible!"

However, when everyone in the room heard what Xiao Wenxuan said, their expressions changed instantly, and their original expectations and excitement were replaced by deep disappointment.

In fact, a few days ago, they said they would second a person from the Hanjiang City Procuratorate to assist in the case, but no one expected that the person who would eventually come would be such a young Zhang Hao.

Looking at the young man in front of them, everyone couldn't help but murmur inwardly: "We thought he would be an experienced and sophisticated senior prosecutor, how could he be such a greenhorn?"

"Could it be that... this is another young master from some powerful family, coming here purely to gain credit and get a piece of the pie?

For a time, all kinds of doubts and dissatisfactions quietly grew in people's hearts.

However, they have been working in the Provincial Procuratorate for so many years, and this is not the first time they have encountered such a thing. They are no longer surprised.

Xu Mingyang saw the expressions on everyone's faces and knew what they were thinking. He said, "Don't underestimate Zhang Hao's youth, but he's handled quite a few cases. You should all be familiar with the special task force that cracked down on organized crime. Comrade Zhang Hao was in charge of one of the teams. He not only successfully completed the task, but also helped the other teams complete their crackdowns!"

This thing is used to fool newcomers. How can these old hands who have been working in the provincial inspection for so many years not know the tricks here?

He is also in charge of a special group, which is probably just to gild his reputation. The real people in charge of the task are other people, and the honor is just attributed to him.

Of course, since Xu Mingyang said so, they couldn't possibly not give him face, so weak and sparse applause broke out in the room.

Xiao Wenxuan frowned slightly when he saw the look on this group of people's faces. He knew that these people had misunderstood Zhang Hao, but he was not going to explain anything. After all, if Zhang Hao didn't even have this ability, then he didn't deserve his and Xu Mingyang's help.

Then he said: "Li Tieshi!"

A man with hair like a chicken coop, sparse stubble, dark circles under his eyes, and who looked as if he hadn't slept for several days stood up and said, "Director Xiao, I'm here."

Zhang Hao looked at Li Tieshi in front of him and was slightly stunned. This Li Tieshi was different from all the prosecutors he had met.

Most prosecutors dress themselves meticulously and look clean and tidy. How could they be so unkempt as him?

Xiao Wenxuan said, "Zhang Hao, Li Tieshi is the deputy director of our first department. He is in charge of this case. If you don't understand anything or have any ideas, just tell him."

This is normal. After all, Xiao Wenxuan is the director of a department and a deputy-department-level cadre. He has a lot of things to do in a day and it is impossible for him to be responsible for only one case.

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Okay."

Xiao Wenxuan then said to Li Tieshi, "I'll leave Zhang Hao to you. Please take good care of him."

"Okay, Director Xiao!" Li Tieshi replied.

"Okay, then you guys continue working, I won't disturb you!" Xiao Wenxuan nodded and left.

When the two of them left, he did not forget to wink at Zhang Hao, indicating that if Zhang Hao had any questions, he should come to him.

After Xiao Wenxuan and the other two left, Zhang Hao walked up to Li Tieshi and said, "Director Li, can you give me a brief introduction to the case we are investigating now? Is there anything else I can do?"

Li Tieshi glanced at Zhang Hao and said in his heart: What can you do?

Just be a mascot and wait for the case to be over before you share the credit.

But he couldn't say that, and he didn't have time to deal with Zhang Hao, so he said: "You don't know much about this case yet, so don't rush into work. There is a file about this case over there, take a look at it yourself first."

After saying that, he casually pointed to the side, where a pile of files was as high as a mountain.

"Okay, Director Li, where should I sit?!" Zhang Hao asked.

"There's no empty seat, just sit there!" Li Tieshi said with some impatience.

Zhang Hao was not angry when he heard Li Tieshi's tone. If he were in Li Tieshi's position and his leader forced a young man in, his performance would definitely be similar. He walked directly to the case file that Li Tieshi had just pointed out, picked up the case file and started to read it.

As he looked deeper and deeper, Zhang Hao recalled the case.

In the previous life, this was also a big case!

The criminal suspect Xu Shengjie is the deputy director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission. During his tenure as deputy district mayor, he took advantage of his position to sell a certain original breeding farm as a negative asset, causing a loss of more than 200 million yuan in public property.

Then, while serving as deputy district mayor, he embezzled more than 300 million yuan in land acquisition funds.

These amounts alone would warrant a life sentence.

When he sold the original breeding farm, he actually cut off the heating in the staff family compound, and even employees who had worked there for more than 20 years did not receive a penny of compensation.

In the cold winter, more than 500 families were torn apart, and some even committed suicide by hanging themselves because they could not afford medical expenses and had no medical insurance.

For the crimes he committed, the death penalty is not excessive.

However, this case dragged on for more than nine years before the final verdict was made. The issues involved were so complicated that it was no wonder that Xiao Wenxuan said this case was difficult.

If I remember correctly, this case was finally settled after the Supreme Inspection Team launched an anti-corruption campaign!

Zhang Hao walked over to Li Tieshi with the case file and said, "Director Li, I have a question for you!"
