Zhong was once interviewed by a news outlet called NetEase News, during which she said that her subordinates loved her because of the advantages she offered while others feared her authority.
"Zhang was frequently seen in private nightclubs, reportedly carrying condoms in her handbag," Chinese media reported.
A report by Strait Times revealed that using her position of power, she ensured that the companies she preferred received lucrative government contracts under the pretext of government investments.
However, a documentary was produced by Guizhou Radio and Television in January this year, in which she expressed regret for her actions.
“I can’t face my former colleagues, family members, or the leaders who have cared for and nurtured me,” she said. “I am truly ashamed and embarrassed.”
