"These cadres in Luzhuang City are really inappropriate!" Jiangnan Governor Song Chaozhong said angrily slapped the table in the conference room of the provincial party committee.

On the second day after Luzhuang City cadres collectively went to Dongwu City to hand over the gifts and New Year's goods, the provincial party committee immediately held an extraordinary meeting for this matter to discuss corresponding countermeasures. Song Chaozhong put his position at the beginning.

Song Chaozhong had to be angry that this time the investigation into Luzhuang was completely promoted by him, and he did not hesitate to go into battle personally, but even so, he was still pushed back by Chen Ping. According to official rules, since the cadres in Luzhuang City have revealed their family background and voluntarily surrendered, the province should commend anything. On the one hand, it demonstrates the province's generous and generous magnanimity, and on the other hand, it is through this matter to create a clean image of government officials, just like a vigorous anti-pornography campaign in a city in the south.

If it was an ordinary person, he would forget it at this time because it was meaningless to continue to entangle, but Song Chaozhong was determined not to do this. He felt that if he really did this, he would lose.

Song Chaozhong thought that he was so aggressive at the beginning, even in the most harsh way, he had to deal with Luzhuang. As a result, Chen Ping hid behind and asked other officials to hand over the illegal gains, and he retracted himself. Then what he had done before became a joke? Therefore, he had to continue whatever he said.

Supported by this belief, Song Chaozhong continued: "The province has made a decision to thoroughly investigate corruption during the Spring Festival, and the cadres of Luzhuang City collectively attacked the superior discipline inspection commission. What is this behavior? This is a serious provocation and confrontational act against the superior organization! As the provincial party committee, we must never tolerate this behavior. We must conduct a more severe investigation on this matter. We must find out the behind-the-scenes planners and organizers and give the most severe punishment!"

"Governor Song said this a bit too serious? I think this matter is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing worthy of encouragement. After all, we are fighting corruption and promoting integrity to eliminate unhealthy practices within the party. Now the cadres in Luzhuang City have taken the initiative to stand up and say that they should draw a clear line with corruption. If we do not support them and punish them instead, will this not be a passion for cracking down on local cadres to self-correct and self-examination of corruption and unhealthy practices?"

Zhao Zhenchuan, secretary of the Dongwu Municipal Party Committee, expressed his opinion: "So I think we should affirm the behavior of Luzhuang City cadres and carry out extensive publicity and promotion within the party, so as to set a correct example for the broad masses of cadres and the masses."

"I fully agree with Comrade Zhao Zhenchuan's opinion."

The person who said this was Tang Zheng, Secretary of the Zexi Municipal Party Committee. As the secretary of the prefecture-level municipal party committee of Jiangnan Province, in addition to the provincial capital Linjiang City, another member of the provincial standing committee, he and Zhao Zhenchuan are interdependent and compete with each other. However, now, as Zhao Zhenchuan goes further and becomes the secretary of the provincial party committee, he, a dependent old partner, naturally has to take the lead in order to make his future influence in the provincial party committee.

Tang Zheng continued: "We always say that we should be honest during the Spring Festival and that local comrades should conduct self-examination and self-correction, but we can never come up with a specific plan and measure. Now, the practices of cadres and comrades in Luzhuang City are just a good start. If we can widely publicize and promote Luzhuang City's practices, it is also a method of self-examination and self-correction."

"I think Comrade Tang Zheng, your view is biased," said Song Chaozhong. "I admit that this is a method of self-examination and self-correction, but whether it is worth affirming is still to be discussed."

"I agree that Luzhuang City cadres take the initiative to hand over their illegal income, which is very good, but before that, there is another more important question, that is, why do cadres and comrades in Luzhuang City have illegal income? Why can't they be honest and honest in the first place and refuse gifts thousands of miles away? If our cadres and comrades can always adhere to a clean and upright atmosphere in their daily work and life, and strictly follow the system regulations, then there is no need for such self-inspection and self-correction at all." Song Chaozhong said.

"I fully agree with Governor Song," said executive vice governor Du Xiaolian immediately. "Since Luzhuang City cadres can take the initiative to hand over illegal income, it means that the trend of giving gifts and even bribery in Luzhuang City is still prevalent. So we must think more about it. In addition to these who have stood up on their own initiative, how many people are still underwater?"

Du Xiaolian continued: "In addition, if we let go of this gap, we will convey to the following information that we can be exempted from punishment as long as we voluntarily hand over illegal income. Then some cadres collect a large part of it but only hand over a small part. Isn't this a disguised condonation of corruption?"

Du Xiaolian paused at this point, and finally expressed his opinion: "So I agree with Governor Song's way of dealing with matters seriously."

"Comrade Du Xiaolian's view is indeed what we need to consider, but one issue is divided into two aspects. At this stage, such behavior is still worthy of encouragement and promotion." said Xiao Hongkun, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

"After all, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection emphasizes that the starting point of building integrity during the Spring Festival should guide our party members and cadres, rather than hitting all the cadres receiving gifts in one place. This will have a wide range of blows. It is a means of fighting for the older generation to kill them. In our current new century, we should have new methods."

Xiao Hongkun said: "Of course I am not trying to excuse corrupt elements. But I think that visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival to greet New Year's gifts is a tradition of our country for thousands of years. Our cadres are also selected from the people, so it is naturally impossible to avoid this custom. It can be said that many cadres accept gifts because they are difficult to refuse, and there is no exchange of interests. If we beat them all to death in one go, it would be unreasonable. I think as long as they hand over all the gifts and money they received afterwards, they will still be good comrades of our party and government! Doing this will not harm human favors, nor will it lead to corruption."

Xiao Hongkun finally expressed his opinion and said: "I think the integrity we advocate during the Spring Festival should be to guide our cadres and comrades to be positive, rather than to force them to separate themselves from the people and even the entire society, and to keep all the gifts during the Spring Festival like a disaster."

After listening to Xiao Hongkun's speech, Lin Zhengyue, the secretary of the provincial party committee who presided over the meeting, turned his attention to Wang Maosong, the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission who had not spoken, and said: "Comrade Maosong, you are the secretary of the discipline inspection commission, tell me what you think."

Wang Maosong first nodded to Lin Zhengyue, said to him a good secretary, and then said: "As the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, I certainly advocate cracking down on all corruption, but in this matter, I think we should listen to everyone's opinions more."

"Comrade Maosong, you are the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. You don't even express your opinions. Isn't it reasonable?" Song Chaozhong said.

"Of course I don't mean that," said Wang Maosong. "Before I express my opinion, I would like to talk about the investigation of Luzhuang City cadres by the working group of our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. According to the investigation and statistics of our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, most of the cadres in Luzhuang City submitted to the Dongwu City Commission for Discipline Inspection this time, it was not a gift for the gifts, but the New Year's goods issued by the unit."
