Chapter 29 - I
“On the general tone of building a harmonious society across the country and advocating honesty and integrity, our team in Shudu Province has been praised by superiors. As the provincial capital, Chengzhou has always been set as a benchmark for the entire Shudu by our comrades from the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. All government workers in the province should follow our example.”
Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zheng Liangyou’s words were not very loud at first, but they became deeper and deeper, allowing people to hear the rhythm.
There was no noise in the entire venue, and even the casual scenes usually being seen in meetings were almost invisible.
“But as the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Shudu Province, I never thought that Chengzhou, our famous provincial capital city, would have such a big trouble today – this matter is caused by our Chengzhou goverment. This person is a disgrace to our entire team!”
Zheng Liangyou’s voice carried far through the microphone. The last words were louder and louder, and the last word ‘disgrace’ was even more powerful. Jiang Xiaochuan even heard a hint of hatred and gritted teeth.
It was such a shame Zhou Qian was nailed to shame by his future father-in-law.
This was actually a very ironic thing.
If it were another time, when Jiang Xiaochuan had just been reborn and his mood was unstable, didn’t understood some of the different situations in this life, he would probably be ashamed of Zheng Liangyou’s words, but now it was different.
Someone like Zhou Qian could become Zheng Liangyou’s son-in-law. Did Zheng Liangyou really did not know who Zhou Qian was, or was he pretending not to know?
This kind of political marriage was with an obvious purpose…
Ha.
.
Jiang Xiaochuan listened very seriously on the surface. He suddenly felt like a big and dark villain. Everyone else was listening here so seriously, but in his heart, he was mocking the superior secretary of the provincial party committee.
This was to put it lightly. At first, it meant disrespecting the leader. To put it seriously, it was called destroying the unity of the entire team, which was a very serious crime. The party’s constitution clearly stipulated that one must obey the organization’s decision.
Disobeying and went against the leader would be called a mistake, but no one knew that he made the mistake in his mind.
Furthermore, Lian Cheng once said a very classic sentence to him: Corrupt officials and the people were not in the same class, the struggle between the status was necessary.
After ten years of catastrophe, the word ‘status struggle’ had become a taboo, as if anyone who mentioned this word again was going to start another revolution, opposed the party.
Corrupt officials often use this big label to suppress people, as long as anyone said Anti-corruption, it was the same as destroying the unity of the team, engaging in status struggle, carrying out dark rule, and opposing the party.
Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t dare to say anything – at least publicly.
He was obviously very serious before he came in, but as soon as Zheng Liangyou started talking, Jiang Xiaochuan lost his temper.
Zheng Liangyou’s dangerous eyes swept across the audience, and he asked many questions one after another: “Why is it always our Chengzhou City that has trouble? First, there was an issue with the deputy mayor’s personal style. This is still a trivial matter. He is a black sheep. Our entire team in Chengzhou is pretty good, but what about the Warwick Group later? The leaders of our province know that Chengzhou’s work has always been the best in our province. This time with a big company. Is it a mistake, or is the entire municipal committee team making a mistake together? What did they do before the project was approved?”
“There must be a big problem here, and it must be thoroughly investigated! No matter who he is, he is a black sheep, even the king of heaven must find him out! In our Chengzhou, our capital city of Shudu Province, when has such a thing happened, such a shameful person? Comrades, we are all officials and public servants of the people, and we must always respect the people’s interests. Put their interests on your shoulders and in your heart! Whoever is corrupt is a public enemy of the people, society, and the country!”
Zheng Liangyou said and finally slapped the table, and the entire audio equipment vibrated with his movements.
.
A provincial leader actually lost his demeanor and became so angry in public, everyone finally understood the seriousness of the matter.
Look at what had become of Chengzhou. A dignified deputy mayor had been dismissed, and hundreds of millions of funds had been wasted.
A week ago, it was his personal problem, but the Warwick Group project, suddenly it got into a trouble and the entire project was approved by everyone. Now that these things happened, everyone would be held responsible.
Qu Zhendong, who was sitting next to Zheng Liangyou, turned his head and glanced at the excited Zheng Liangyou, but his expression was very calm. He went to pull him, covered the microphone and said something.
Jiang Xiaochuan and the others below were not very close and couldn’t hear it clearly, but after Qu Zhendong said something, Zheng Liangyou’s chest, which was beating so hard, finally calmed down a little.
They saw Zheng Liangyou took a few deep breaths, held the microphone again, stood up straight, look at the information in his hand, and say: “The former deputy mayor of Chengzhou City, Zhou Qian, has entered the Internal Disciplinary Investigation stage and is now suspended to accept inspections by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection at all levels. The situation this time is slightly complicated, so the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection at several levels cooperated and investigated together. The Warwick Group incident broke out suddenly, but in view of the seriousness of the situation and the extremely poor performance of the entire municipal party committee and government team. The Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government will personally come to guide and inspect this matter. All those who have absconded with donations must be traced and brought to justice as soon as possible to prevent the government and the party’s credibility from being damaged.”
“This time the situation is unprecedentedly serious. It is not only a crisis for the individuals involved in the case but also a crisis for our entire municipal party committee and government. It is also a crisis for our superior leaders. We must be prepared and cooperate with the investigation. Anyone who dares to shirk must be severely punished.”
The atmosphere of the entire meeting finally reached deathly silence after being pushed to a black climax. Zheng Liangyou slowly took his hand away from the microphone, then took a step back, turned around, and walked to his seat with head held high.
