"Can Director Han provide us with materials on this aspect? After all, we received a real-name report and we need to reply to the report content." Zhao Jian said.

Han Hong nodded and said, "No problem. The equipment company submitted a formal self-inspection report. We can provide you with a copy of the report."

"That's great." Zhao Jian responded, and then said, "Then there is only one last problem left, but it is also a very troublesome problem."

"What's the question?" Han Hong asked.

Zhao Jian said: "The whistleblower Han Nanbin said that they obtained an early information through their partners in Germany, which showed that Feng Xiaochen was selling state secret documents to several companies in West Germany during his inspection tour with the then Metallurgical Bureau of the Economic Commission at the end of 1980, making a profit of more than 5 million marks. Han Nanbin suspected that the funds used by Feng Xiaochen to create Chenyu Company came from this transaction."

"What? Selling confidential state documents?" Han Hong's surprise was extraordinary. He stared at Zhao Jian and said seriously: "Director Zhao, this is not something that can be joked about. You should know how serious the nature of this matter is."

Zhao Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Director Han, we are very cautious because we know that this matter is very serious. You see, this is the material provided by Han Nanbin to us, and the evidence is relatively sufficient."

As he said that, he took a stack of copies from his assistant Wang Fengshuo and handed them to Han Hong, and explained them to Han Hong. Among these materials are photocopy of the drawings sold by Feng Xiaochen through his aunt Feng Shuyi in Germany, photocopy of the transaction records of that year, and copy of the drawings drawn by Wang Weilong that Han Nanbin got from Luo Ye's archives. These evidences have specific sources and are very easy to verify.

After reading these materials, Han Hong's face turned as if it was going to rain. He was silent for a moment and asked Zhao Jian: "Director Zhao, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhao Jian said: "Director Han, frankly, we have a very good impression of Comrade Feng Xiaochen. More than ten years ago, we received anonymous reports to investigate Comrade Feng Xiaochen. It turned out that Comrade Feng Xiaochen not only did not have bribery problems, but often used his own money to supplement his work expenditures. There were very few cadres who could do this. Over the past decade, we have regularly evaluated Comrade Feng Xiaochen's work in accordance with regulations, and every time he had excellent results. Even if the Huoyuan Metro project involved his father's company, we did not doubt that Comrade Feng Xiaochen would be honest and self-disciplined on this issue."

Han Hong didn't say anything, just nodded to express his approval of Zhao Jian's words. He knew that Zhao Jian's words were just an opening remark, and the subsequent "but" was the most critical.

Sure enough, after saying the above, Zhao Jian changed the subject and said, "However, all of this is because Comrade Feng Xiaochen's family business has a huge income, he has no financial difficulties in his personal life, and has a good future in his career, so he was able to be so self-disciplined. More than 20 years ago, in 1980, he was just a temporary worker who was seconded from the local area to the Economic Commission, and was very financially struggling. For the sake of improving his personal life, or even for the sake of preparing to run a business, it is possible that he made some mistakes that should not be made."

"So, you are sure that Feng Xiaochen made a mistake in that time?" Han Hong asked.

Zhao Jian shook his head and said, "There is still a key issue in this matter that I have not figured out, that is, where did Feng Xiaochen get the technology sold to foreign companies. In the letter of complaint, Han Nanbin only raised a possibility that these technologies belong to the state, Feng Xiaochen stole them by illegal means, and then quietly sold them to overseas companies. But specifically, which unit the owner of these technologies is and how Feng Xiaochen came into contact with these technologies, Han Nanbin said that he cannot determine with his ability."

"If you can't be sure, you dare to write a report letter. Aren't he afraid of false accusation?" Han Hong said hatefully.

Zhao Jian smiled but said nothing. This question was not something he needed to answer.

Han Hong was just angry for a moment. After cursing, he returned to the topic and asked: "Director Zhao, have you ever considered the possibility that these technologies themselves were invented by Feng Xiaochen himself. With the management system at that time, even if the technologies he invented themselves and traded with foreign companies privately, it was wrong. But from today's system, scientific and technological personnel sell their technologies to foreign companies. As long as this technology does not involve state secrets and there is no infringement, then this kind of transaction is understandable."

Zhao Jian said: "You are right. So the key to the problem is whether these technologies belong to Feng Xiaochen personally or to the country. Han Nanbin pointed out that in 1980, Feng Xiaochen was only 19 years old, and had only a junior high school education, and had no experience working in a factory, so it was impossible for him to invent these technologies by himself."

"Are these technologies very difficult?" Han Hong asked.

Zhao Jian said: "We have consulted experts and experts believe that these technologies are nothing today, and are even relatively backward technologies. However, in 1980, these technologies were relatively advanced and required certain attainments to invent such technologies."

"Feng Xiaochen's grandfather, Mr. Feng Weiren, is a famous metallurgical equipment expert in my country. Feng Xiaochen has studied with his grandfather for many years, and his technical attainments are still good."

"No matter how good he is, he is just a 19-year-old junior high school student. It is a bit too shocking to propose such a technique."

Han Hong was speechless. He didn't know how advanced these technologies were. Zhao Jian and the others were conducting investigations professionally. The experts they asked for should have certain authoritativeness. If the experts think that such technologies could not be made by a junior high school student, then Han Nanbin's guess is most likely correct.

Han Hong agreed with Zhao Jian's analysis of Feng Xiaochen earlier. Indeed, today's Feng Xiaochen is an outstanding and selfless cadre, and it is absolutely impossible for him to steal state confidential documents and sell them to foreigners. But after more than 20 years, when Feng Xiaochen was only 19 years old, could he have the awareness he has today? He was completely confused for a moment and really copied these drawings from the archives of the Metallurgical Bureau and sold them to foreigners, thus leaving a stain that will be difficult to clear for the rest of his life.

"What are you going to do now?" Han Hong asked.

Zhao Jian said: "We plan to continue the investigation because it involves the main leading cadres of the subordinate units of the NDRC. We hope that the NDRC can provide us with support."

Han Hong nodded slowly and said, "We will support your work."

"Okay, we hope that we will not tell Comrade Feng Xiaochen himself in advance, so as not to interfere with our investigation."

"Can."

"Does Comrade Feng Xiaochen's work be stopped first during this period? It is best to cut off contact with the outside world."

Han Hong frowned: "You mean you want to imprison Feng Xiaochen?"

"This is not." Zhao Jian said, "The information we have now is incomplete, and it is inappropriate to take measures against Comrade Feng Xiaochen based on these information. However, our investigation will inevitably involve some people who had contact with him in the past. If these people revealed the content of the investigation to him and he did have inappropriate behavior back then, after getting the news, he may collude with other relevant personnel, thus making our investigation unable to continue."

His words were very tactful, but the meaning was clear, that is, they were not suitable to arrest Feng Xiaochen at the moment, but they were afraid that Feng Xiaochen would collude with others to destroy the evidence, so the best way was to find an excuse to isolate Feng Xiaochen and create a few days for them to investigate.

From Han Hong's heart, he was very reluctant to see Feng Xiaochen being investigated. However, the state has national laws, the family has rules, and the investigation of the discipline department is necessary. The National Development and Reform Commission must provide comprehensive cooperation on this issue. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, we are going to hold a policy seminar in the suburbs of Beijing, which involves some relatively important decisions. According to regulations, ordinary cadres attending the meeting must block all communication tools. Feng Xiaochen, as the head of the equipment company, has a lot of work. This communication ban was originally an exception to him, so now we can cancel this exception."

"That's so thankful to Director Han." Zhao Jian felt relieved. After receiving a letter of complaint from Han Nanbin, they did not dare to conduct a large-scale investigation, just because they were afraid of alarming the enemy. Han Hong was able to help them isolate Feng Xiaochen, so they would have no worries about the investigation. When the quarantine period ended, the investigation here would basically have a bright future. If Feng Xiaochen really had problems, they could take measures against him in a legitimate way. If Feng Xiaochen had no problems, of course it would not matter, and it should be a happy result.

Han Hong said: "It is our obligation to cooperate with the work of the discipline department, and there is no problem of gratitude. However, Director Zhao, I would like to emphasize that Comrade Feng Xiaochen is a very outstanding cadre, who has made great achievements in his work and has made indelible contributions to the country. Even if..., I mean that even if he really had some mistakes when he was young, we hope that the discipline department can take into account the special circumstances at that time and his immature side and give lenient treatment to his mistakes."

Zhao Jian said: "Director Han, don't worry. Before we came to the Development and Reform Commission, the leaders also gave us some advice, saying that Comrade Feng Xiaochen is a cadre that the central leadership values ​​very much, and we must be very cautious when it comes to issues involving him. Personally, I admire Comrade Feng Xiaochen very much, and we will investigate with a cautious attitude. Even if some unsatisfactory things are found during the investigation, we will give him mercy to the greatest extent within the scope of party discipline and national laws."
