Chapter 73 Adjustment
At 2:30 p.m. Beijing time, a Standing Committee meeting was held in the conference room on the sixth floor of the Yuzhou Municipal Party Committee Office Building. There were eleven members of the Yuzhou Municipal Party Committee. In addition to the team leading the inspection in the United States, the Military Sub-district Political Commissar Cheng and the Provincial Military Region held a meeting. Therefore, there were nine members of the Standing Committee who attended the meeting today, including Zhang Hao, Chairman of the CPPCC and Huang Xuanli, Deputy Director of the National People's Congress, attended the meeting.
At the conference table, Li Guoyong, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, was reading a material. He introduced the investigation and handling of illegal and irregular disciplines by Qian Yunong, secretary of Xishan County Party Committee. During this period, the mobile phone in front of Yue Mingsong, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, suddenly trembled. Yue Mingsong looked down at the number, then raised his hand and made a pause gesture. He touched his phone and walked out of the conference room. He whispered to others in the corridor outside. Li Guoyong put down the materials in his hand, touched the cup, and drank tea with other members of the Standing Committee.
After about five or six minutes, Yue Mingsong walked in from outside with a smile on his face and walked steady steps, pulled the chair and sat down again, put his phone gently on the table, touched the cup and took a sip of tea, looked around, and said in a gentle tone: "The call from the Provincial Party Secretary, Secretary Guoyong, you continue."
Li Guoyong did not touch the materials this time, but said expressionlessly: "Qian Yunong's situation is basically all about this. Judging from the evidence currently available, his violation of laws and regulations is very serious and he must take decisive measures. Fortunately, the Xishan team is healthy and full of vitality, and it has not been rotten because of the corruption and depravity of the county party secretary. This is worthy of recognition. During my investigation in Xishan, I discovered a very responsible deputy secretary. The example of this comrade is worth learning. I will talk about three things about him. The first thing is that he successfully solved a serious farmer trap in Dawang Township and recovered the losses for the farmers. In order to thank him, the local people sent him agricultural and sideline products worth 4,000 yuan. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is an insignificant little thing. Isn't it just a little pork and vegetables, and maybe he will accept it with peace of mind. How did our deputy secretary do it?"
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, took out an envelope from his bag, held it in his hand and shook it, and raised his voice and said, "He called the township chief of Dawang Township over and handed him back the 5,000 yuan in cash, and asked the township chief to return the money to the villagers. The letter contained a receipt and bank withdrawal record. It is well documented. After receiving the money, the township chief made a joke. It is worth pondering. The deputy secretary of the county party committee gave money to the township chief. This is really a world-renowned opportunity!"
The members of the Standing Committee at the table smiled at the same time, nodded slightly, and listened to him continue to talk.
Li Guoyong gently put down the envelope, touched the teacup, and said in a low tone: "The second thing about this deputy secretary is that a township chief works in a remote mountainous area. The mother at home is old and sick and bedridden for many years. His wife is in very poor health and has high blood pressure and often faints suddenly. The child at home is still young, only two years old and has no one to take care of. Their family lives in poverty and cannot even pay the rent. As a result, at the end of the year, the landlord was driven out by the landlord. After learning about the situation, our deputy secretary came out to contact her as soon as possible and took their family to the yard where she lived and took care of her carefully. After learning about the situation, the township chief was filled with tears and promised to do a good job on the phone and never let down the care of the organization. It was very touching, comrades!"
Speaking of this, Li Guoyong knocked on the table hard. His usual words and deeds were always very old-fashioned. He always spoke like boiled water without any taste. He rarely spoke in such excitement and spoke in a loud voice. Everyone was also infected by his full emotions and nodded constantly. At the oval conference table, sighed and sighed for a moment.
Shan Chunmei, the propaganda minister of the Municipal Party Committee, took out a tissue, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at Li Guoyong with tears in her eyes. When the municipal party secretary Yue Mingsong noticed her expression, he coughed and interrupted: "Comrade Chunmei, you must record such touching deeds. For such good cadres, the propaganda department must report widely, set a benchmark for our cadres and the masses, referring to the practice of this deputy secretary, looking in the mirror, how can we be a qualified good cadre, and let the general public know that corrupt elements like Qian Yunong are a minority after all, and there are many outstanding cadres in our party who are making contributions in obscurity."
Shan Chunmei nodded vigorously, touched the pen, wrote a few lines of words on the notebook, then threw the pen aside, and said emotionally: "Secretary Yue, please rest assured. After the meeting, I will greet the media and ask them to hurry up and go to Xishan to interview the deputy secretary. Such a good comrade should be widely promoted."
Mayor Li Hanzi also smiled, wrote the three words "Wang Siyu" on his notebook, circled the name, put a big question mark, gently threw the signature pen in his hand aside, touched his hair and sighed: "Yes, we should promote it well, and both negative and positive models must be established."
Yue Mingsong frowned, glanced at him coldly, then turned his eyes to Li Guoyong, and urged softly: "Secretary Guoyong, your speech today is very good, continue."
Li Guoyong picked up the cup, drank a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "The third thing is Qian Yunong's case. The reason why this case was successfully investigated was not only because Secretary Yue directly inquiries and the hard work of the comrades of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but also because the deputy secretary was able to withstand the pressure and resolutely fight against corrupt elements. Because the investigation and handling work progressed smoothly and the report was timely. After the American inspection team received the news, they made preparations as soon as possible to prevent Qian Yunong's escape incident in time and successfully control him. They will arrive in the provincial capital tomorrow afternoon. This is a major victory in the anti-corruption and integrity work in our city."
After saying that, he knocked on the table with his hand, snorted habitually from his nose, turned to Yue Mingsong and said, "Secretary Yue, I'm finished."
Yue Mingsong nodded thoughtfully and asked with a smile: "Secretary Guoyong, what is the name of this deputy secretary? Don't keep it a secret, just tell it together."
Li Guoyong lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, put down the teacup, his expression became dull again, his eyes drooped, and he said carelessly: "His name is Wang Siyu, he is a cadre who has been on duty from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to Xishan."
Yue Mingsong nodded and said, "No wonder, comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection can still strictly demand themselves. The more such cadres there are, the better. Hey, Wang Siyu, this name seems to be very familiar... Has he worked in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee?"
Lu Yucai, the Organization Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, hurriedly turned his back and reminded with a smile: "Secretary Yue, Comrade Wang Siyu once worked in the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office. He was the deputy director of the Inspection Office at that time. The few things he was in charge of were still very effective."
Yue Mingsong said 'Oh' and nodded, "I heard that this young comrade is good, very thoughtful, and flexible. Lao Lu, after the meeting, you communicate with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, we will ask for this cadre. In the future, the city will focus on training. When conditions are ripe, you can consider adding burdens to him."
Lu Yucai and Li Guoyong exchanged their eyes and said with a smile: "Secretary Yue, there is something to be said. Some time ago, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department conducted a regular survey in Xishan. In the secret ballot of township cadres against the county party committee leaders, Wang Siyu, the deputy secretary of the county party committee, actually had one more vote than County Mayor Cao, and was only three votes behind Qian Yunong. I was a little confused at that time. How could a deputy secretary who was on duty get so many votes? Is there anything wrong with it? I just heard Secretary Guoyong's speech and I figured out that the eyes of grassroots cadres are still sharp. Such good comrades should be dug up."
Minister of Propaganda Shan Chunmei laughed and jokingly said: "Secretary Yue's skill in poaching is really great. Don't scare the leaders of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. You will never dare to send outstanding cadres to Yuzhou in the future."
Yue Mingsong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Talent is rare. After finally cultivating the cadres well, they will transfer them back. Wouldn't we lose money? As long as we prove that they are useful talents, we must dig boldly."
The Standing Committee members all laughed, Mayor Li Hanzi's smile was a little cold, his mouth glanced slightly, and a trace of disdain appeared. He picked up the agenda of the meeting, glanced at it, and then gently threw it down, and answered quietly: "Yes, we must pay attention to talents. Leading cadres should have the ability to know people. Don't let cadres like Qian Yunong take advantage of the loopholes. Before the accident, he showed very bad signs, spoke loudly, fired up fireworks, mobilized a large number of troops to attract investment, and sent a large group of troops to the Yangtze River Delta. The Pearl River Delta took a big round, costing more than 100,000 yuan, but he did not even sign a contract. Such cadres should not be reused even if they did not violate the law and discipline."
Yue Mingsong's face suddenly became gloomy. He lowered his head and drank a sip of tea. He squinted his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand. He frowned and stopped talking. The meeting table fell into a temporary silence. The Standing Committee members knew that Mayor Li Hanzi had a subtle voice. Some time ago, Secretary Yue mentioned Qian Yunong at a meeting and called and praised the county party secretary of Xishan County in the document issued. At this time, something happened to Qian Yunong. Secretary Yue did not mention the past, but only drew a clear line with a light sentence. Li Hanzi must be dissatisfied, so he held on to this problem, which made Yue Mingsong feel a little embarrassed.
In fact, the Standing Committee members here knew that Li Hanzi had worked as a township officer and started step by step from the grassroots level. His career had always been very smooth. He basically walked up one step in three years. He just stopped at the position of mayor and delayed for seven years. During this period, the secretary changed two, but he had not been promoted. He must be uncomfortable. It would be unrealistic to say that he had no idea about Yue Mingsong who was airborne. What's more, the top leaders of the party and government often had various frictions because of different views. This is a common problem in the officialdom. It is generally the case in various places, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.
The Standing Committee members didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the conference room was a little dull. Zhang Huaishan, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, stood up and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner with the remote control. After a few "beep" sounds, a gust of warm wind blew out of the air conditioner. Not long after, the temperature in the conference room was several degrees higher.
After pondering for a long time, Yue Mingsong finally put down the cup in his hand, raised his head, looked around, and said with a smile: "I have reported to the provincial party secretary of Qian Yunong's case. The province is very concerned about the construction of the Xishan team and asks the city to come up with a plan. Lao Li has introduced the situation in Xishan just now. Most of the cadres are still good and can stand the test. So don't break up, maintain the status quo, and stability is overwhelming."
After saying this, he looked around the conference table again. Seeing the Standing Committee members nodding, he continued: "As for the candidates for the county party committee secretary, the provincial party committee recommended Director Jiao Nanting of the Secretariat of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee this time. This comrade should be familiar with everyone. He has been with Secretary Meng of the Provincial Party Committee for a long time. He has a high theoretical level and strong political literacy. He is a trustworthy comrade. The organization sent him to Xishan to work. I am very welcome. The city will no longer recommend other comrades. At this meeting, we will determine the candidates for the county magistrate of Xishan County. Everyone discuss it and talk about it. Let's talk freely."
Li Hanzi coughed, touched the cup in his hand, frowned and said, "Secretary Yue, Secretary Jiao has never had any experience working at the grassroots level before. Isn't it inappropriate to go to Xishan to directly serve as the county party secretary? Of course, I am not suspicious of Secretary Jiao's ability, but Xishan needs a stable situation after Qian Yunong's accident. If the county party secretary airborne from the province, what would the local cadres in Xishan think? This is not convenient for the work. In fact, if we talk about the candidates for the county party secretary, I think County Mayor Cao Fengyang is good. This comrade works hard, never proficient, and has no problem of being very happy with great achievements. He is very familiar with party affairs and government affairs. After Qian Yunong's accident, it is most appropriate for him to take over. However, since the provincial party committee has not issued a document, will Secretary Yue fight for it again?"
Yue Mingsong sneered and put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at Sun Chaoyang, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in charge of the organization, and said with a blank expression: "Secretary Chaoyang, what do you think?"
Sun Chaoyang pondered for a while, with a look of difficulty on his face. He wanted to avoid this question vaguely, but Yue Mingsong's eyes kept staring at him, making him feel uncomfortable, so he had to glance at Li Hanzi helplessly and whisper: "County Magistrate Cao is good, Secretary Jiao is also very suitable. These two people have their own strengths, and it is difficult to compare. My personal opinion is still inclined to the provincial advice. As a provincial-level cadre, the city should still listen to the hello."
After saying that, he lowered his head, turned over the materials with his hand, and ignored the strange gazes that Li Hanzi had cast. He was still closer to Li Hanzi. If the candidate suggested by the province was not Meng Chao's secretary, perhaps he would cooperate with Li Hanzi and force him to challenge the province. However, since the matter involved the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he had to do it carefully, so he chose to support Yue Mingsong this time.
Yue Mingsong nodded with satisfaction and then turned his eyes to the face of the Organization Minister Lu Yucai. Lu Youcai sat upright, stared at the teacup in front of him, and said softly: "Secretary Yue, I personally prefer the suggestions of the provincial party committee. Although Comrade Cao Fengyang is also very good, he seems to be in poor health recently. He has been hospitalized in the province for seven or eight days. The work in Xishan County is now under the leadership of Deputy Secretary Wang."
"Oh?" Yue Mingsong smiled meaningfully, rubbed his hair gently with his hand, took a sip of tea, and shook his head and said, "Comrade Cao Fengyang is really sick."
Several members of the Standing Committee at the table met and smiled at their mouths, and they all understood what Yue Mingsong said. Secretary Yue probably suspected that Cao Fengyang was pretending to be sick. Thinking of what happened in the past few days, this speculation made some sense. In some special periods, pretending to be sick can indeed avoid a lot of trouble. From ancient times to the present, many officials have used similar methods.
Li Hanzi's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything when he looked at the expressions of everyone. At this time, the two members of the Standing Committee who were very close to him blocked their faces and kept winking at him. Li Hanzi shook his head helplessly, touched the teacup with a blue face and took a sip. Without saying anything, he also complained to Cao Fengyang in his heart. He was indeed lacking in courage and embarrassing to great use.
Yue Mingsong lit a cigarette leisurely, took a sip, glanced at Li Hanzi as a winner, and said with a smile: "Since everyone has no objection, don't argue about the candidates for the county party committee secretary. It's better to respect the opinions of the province. As for the candidates for the county magistrate, after Comrade Cao Fengyang left, Deputy Secretary Wang would be the ones. Isn't Mayor Li afraid that the secretary who was airborne will affect the unity of the team? Then you might as well use airborne. Comrade Wang Siyu also worked in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. It should be no problem to communicate between them. Minister Lu had already said it just now. Comrade Wang Siyu had one more vote than County magistrate Cao in the survey and evaluation. As a cadre on duty, this is very rare. The municipal party committee should respect the wishes of grassroots cadres. Secretary Guoyong, do you think so?"
Li Guoyong looked expressionless, snorted in his nose, nodded and said, "Secretary Yue, you are right."
Propaganda Minister Shan Chunmei also nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Comrade Wang Siyu should be suppressed. For such good comrades with both moral integrity and ability, they should not only promote them, but also use them."
Yue Mingsong smiled, took a sip of cigarette lightly, spit out a faint smoke from his mouth, knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Whoever has different opinions, if there is no one, it will be decided. The team of Xishan will be led by Comrade Jiao Nanting and Wang Siyu."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Mayor Li Hanzi, but Li Hanzi turned his head to the side without saying a word. The room suddenly became quiet again, with only the sound of drinking tea. Yue Mingsong raised his hand and looked at the watch, extinguished half of the cigarette in his hand, waved his hand impatiently, "Since there is no objection, then that's it. The time is up, and the provincial party secretary still wants to talk to me and have a break."
After saying that, Yue Mingsong touched the cell phone on the table, walked out with a teacup in his hand. Everyone looked at each other in a little. There was another last item in the original agenda of the meeting, which was a topic raised by Li Hanzi. Yue Mingsong left, so the issue would naturally be left in vain. Everyone stood up in different expressions and left one after another. Li Hanzi frowned and patted the table, raised his head and sighed: "It's so inconsistent. This is the parent style of a one-man rule!"
Li Guoyong glanced at him coldly, snorted softly from his nose, packed up the things on the table, turned around and walked out.
The next afternoon, Qian Yunong, who was depressed, had just got off the plane and was told that he had been driven twice. Several prosecutors escorted him into the van and drove to the distance. Lin Haiyang and Zhuang Junyong, who were standing next to him, looked at each other, and saw a sad feeling in each other's eyes, which was probably the so-called "death of a rabbit and a fox".
A few days later, the Provincial Party Committee and Municipal Party Committee jointly issued a document to adjust the Xishan County Party Committee team and appointed Jiao Nanting as the secretary of the Xishan County Party Committee, Wang Siyu as the deputy secretary of the county party committee and acting county magistrate. Cao Fengyang has left, and Jiao Nanting can only take office after the New Year. Therefore, during the period before the New Year, Wang Siyu was in charge of the work alone.
Chapter completed!
