According to “Chongqing Evening News” Liu Zhihua during his appointment as Beijing 2008 Project Construction commander-in-chief, he was responsible for tens of billions of dollars of Olympic venue and infrastructure projects. His mistress Wang Jianrui was a Beijing construction company’s legal representative, and as a result of her relationship with Liu Zhihua, her company had undertaken the projects of the National Tennis Centre, field hockey and archery stadium and others.

Liu Zhihua had many mistresses; he used the name of construct resorts, and he built a 150-room luxury palace on the outskirts of Beijing. According to the media, one of Liu Zhihua’s mistresses claimed that a girl named Zhang Yike devoted herself to Liu Zhihua but she did not obtain the agreed repayment, therefore she set up a trap; she sent a sex video of her and Liu Zhihua to the relevant Beijing authorities.
