Chapter 6 Chapter Six

Ever since he became the secretary of the provincial party committee and lived in this small western-style building at No. 10 Gonghe Road, an inexplicable feeling often hit Pei Yihong's heart.There is obvious loneliness, sometimes intermittent melancholy, and occasionally some inexplicable excitement.This made Pei Yihong feel very strange, what else could he be excited about?Does he, the secretary of the provincial party committee of a province with a large economy, still need to use a small western-style building left over from the old era on Gonghe Road to prove his worth?It was later discovered that this inexplicable excitement came from some kind of deep memory dissolved in the blood.

In the course of a person's life, some memories are unforgettable, including those fluffy details, such as that evening 21 years ago.It was a private memory belonging to Pei Yihong. It was extremely impressive, but he couldn't tell it to others. Even to his own family, everything is still vivid in his memory. Yes, it was that midsummer evening 21 years ago, when he walked under the shade of the trees on Republic Road for the first time as the confidential secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and for the first time mustered up the courage to ring the doorbell of the No. 10 Courtyard on Republic Road How tense was the mood!At that time, a respected old governor lived in No. 10 courtyard, and he still rang the old British doorbell with a long history, and the sound of the bell was monotonous and dull.After he rang the doorbell, he waited in front of the door. He waited for a long time, which seemed to be a century, but he looked at his watch and realized that it was only thirty seconds.Later, when he was about to ring the doorbell again, the small window on the red-painted door opened, and the doorman's face appeared in the small window, like a standard photo pasted on a certificate.At that time, who knew him, a freshman from grade 7 or 7?The General Office of the Provincial Party Committee had obviously called in advance, but the guard still questioned him through the small window on the gate, and carefully checked his work permit.After entering the door, I didn't see the old governor. The old governor had just left for a foreign event, and the documents delivered were signed by a secretary.That day, when he walked out of No. 10 Gonghe Road, Pei Yihong found that the white shirt he had just put on was soaked with sweat from his chest and back.

In the following three years, as Secretary of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and Deputy Director of the Confidentiality Department, he became a frequent visitor on Gonghe Avenue. Documents, send notices, and handle related affairs within the scope of duties.At that time, Pei Yihong was too inconspicuous in front of the leaders of the provincial party committee. Some things are funny to say: a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee did not remember his last name until he left the provincial party committee office, and kept calling him "little boy" enthusiastically. Hong".However, the initial restraint and tension gradually disappeared, and the mysterious veil of Gonghe Road was inadvertently torn away little by little in front of him, and he could not help but become a witness to scenes of history.

What impressed me the most was the major adjustment of cadres at the prefecture and city levels in the whole province in 1985.That scene of history happened at the home of the old secretary Liu Huanzhang at No. 5 Gonghe Road.Liu Huanzhang was transferred from Beijing to Hanjiang Province in January of that year to be the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. He also began to serve as Liu Huanzhang's secretary for three years. In 1988, Liu Huanzhang nominated him to the Provincial Youth League Committee. Became deputy secretary.Pei Yihong clearly remembered that on that rainy afternoon, in the sound of drizzle rustling outside the building, Liu Huanzhang swiped a pen and signed a document on the appointment and removal of cadres of the Provincial Party Committee, deciding in one fell swoop more than 50 people. The fate of more than 200 county-level cadres in famous places and cities.A group of old comrades went down, and many young cadres came up, and Zhao Anbang was one of them.At that time, Zhao Anbang was only a little-known township party secretary in Wenshan area, but in the atmosphere of boldly using the four modernization cadres, he was included in the list of cadres of the third echelon of the provincial party committee.Afterwards, Zhao Anbang climbed up step by step in the ups and downs. It was really not easy, no matter where he worked, there was controversy.As Liu Huanzhang said, it is an anomaly, and such an anomaly is rare among the cadres in Hanjiang Province.

Liu Huanzhang served as an alternate member of the Central Committee for one term, a member of the Central Committee for two terms, and served as Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee for twelve years.Ning Chuan's team made some wrong decisions.In the end, Ning Chuan got ahead, and the old man withdrew. At a tea party after his retreat, Liu Huanzhang bowed to Zhao Anbang in public, which left a deep impression on him and his comrades.This time when he was on the operating table, the old man held his hand and talked non-stop, talking about Ningchuan and Wenshan.Wenshan is another heart problem of the old man. After retiring, the old man told him and Zhao Anbang more than once: If the underdeveloped northern region centered on Wenshan is not promoted, the economically powerful Hanjiang province will be a lame giant, and he will die with regret.

The old boss always told his fortune, so he didn't fall on the operating table.However, the operation was not successful, and the cancer cells had fully metastasized.The experts of the medical team quietly told Pei Yihong that the patient can last for about three months at most with medication.Seeing the old secretary covered in pipes, Pei Yihong made a forced smile, but turned his back but couldn't help but burst into tears. Knowing that the old secretary will not have many days to come, Pei Yihong wanted to organize and publish the old secretary's "Hanjiang Twenty Years Reform Essays" as soon as possible, and decided to be the old secretary's secretary again and write a preface to the essays.Unexpectedly, there were foreign affairs activities for several nights in a row, so I just couldn't sit down.It was okay after get off work that day, and just after turning on the computer, Yu Huabei, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, called again, saying that he was coming to report a case, and that the case was very sensitive, involving a major leader in Ningchuan.

Pei Yihong immediately thought: This main leader is probably Qian Huiren, Mayor of Ningchuan.I mentioned it to him in North China a few days ago.This is really a bit troublesome. People have reported it. If you don't take it seriously, it will definitely not work. If you take it too seriously, it will not work. The negative impact will not be small.The old secretary has rich experience in politics, and he told him before going to the operating table: At the sensitive moment of Ningchuan's promotion, anything can happen, it is difficult for you to judge whether it is true or false.In addition, inadvertent handling will also affect his relationship with Zhao Anbang. After all, Qian Huiren is a cadre brought up by Zhao Anbang!

Therefore, after Yu Huabei came, Pei Yihong politely asked Yu Huabei to sit down on the sofa in the living room. It didn't mean that Huabei opened his mouth to report, and he laughed and said it first, with a relaxed tone, full of appreciation and approval, "Old Yu Ah, Ningchuan has done quite well these years. He is one of the few hundred billion club members in the country. Comrade Huanzhang even praised Ningchuan to me when he was on the operating table. Our old secretary spoke highly of the development of Ningchuan cadres. Innovative spirit!" Yu Huabei had his usual smile on his face, "Yes, yes, the Provincial Party Committee and the Central Committee have already commented!"

Pei Yihong said calmly: "So, we must be careful with Ningchuan cadres! Ningchuan wants to play a greater role in the future economic development of our province, and we must be careful of people making small moves and causing earthquakes. !" Yu Huabei said: "Comrade Yihong, I know all about this, but the Mayor of Ningchuan, Qian Huiren, really has a problem!" It really is Qian Huiren!Pei Yihong had no choice but to face it squarely, "Isn't Qian Huiren being too sensitive now that something happened?" Yu Huabei nodded, "Yes, this comrade is still Comrade Anbang's old subordinate!"

Pei Yihong waved his hand, "Hey, Lao Yu, why did you say it was Anbang? What does this have to do with Anbang?!" After pondering for a while, he asked, "At this time, do you think someone will be a money-benefactor? What hands and feet?" Yu Huabei thought, "I was thinking about this too, but it seems that this is not the case! Qian Huiren's financial problems were not reported by anyone, but brought out by the corruption case of Ningchuan Investment Company. I personally recorded the interrogation transcript of the criminal suspect. I've seen it! Lao Qin went to the Central Party School to study, and I was in charge of the discipline inspection work temporarily, so if you find a problem, you have to report it!"

Pei Yihong thought for a while, and asked, "Hey, for a while, there hasn't been any problem with the unity of the Ningchuan team, right?" Yu Huabei said: "There shouldn't be any, right? Qian Huiren was a little dissatisfied with Wang Rucheng being the secretary of the municipal party committee, but the position has always been right. They are all cadres recommended by Anbang. Can you ignore the overall situation at this time? Anbang used to You also told me that Wang Rucheng and Qian Huiren are the best partners, and Ning Chuan's team is a pragmatic team that works together!" Pei Yihong thought about it too, and smiled wryly, "Okay, okay, then tell me what you know!" Yu Huabei spread out his notebook and began to report seriously, "Secretary Pei, the comrades of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have figured it out: Qian Huiren's accepting bribes is not groundless, and the clues are quite solid. It was explained by a general manager of Ningchuan Investment Company. The general manager Suspected of embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds, a case has been formally filed for investigation. According to this person, from October to December 2001, according to Qian Huiren's request, he sent a total of 420,000 yuan to a Shenzhen family in three installments For the decoration company, the name of the payment is a project joint venture, and as a result, as soon as the money arrived, it was all taken away by a woman named Sun Pingping!" Pei Yihong glanced at Yu Huabei uneasily, "Oh? This Sun Pingping took all 420,000 yuan away?" There was no expression on Yu Huabei's face, "Yes, they have all been taken away. The so-called joint venture is just an excuse!" Pei Yihong was somewhat puzzled, and even felt that Yu Huabei was a bit too much. Why did this very old deputy secretary of the provincial party committee keep an eye on Ningchuan and Ningchuan cadres so closely?This made him wary, "So, the case is very simple! Let the relevant departments go after that Sun Pingping and get back the 420,000 yuan? Even if the money was paid by Qian Huiren, It's just a case of fraud, there's no need to mobilize people like this, and there's no need for your brother to catch it!" Yu Huabei did not let go, "Comrade Yihong, things are not that simple! First, the general manager once offered bribes to Qian Huiren, and Qian Huiren refused on the surface, but within half a month, Qian Huiren refused. Instructing him to send money to Shenzhen, Qian Huiren is suspected of accepting bribes. Second, the whereabouts of that Sun Pingping is unknown now. According to the confirmation from the boss and employees of the decoration company she stayed in Shenzhen, Sun Pingping is from our Hanjiang. Qian Huiren's mistress!" Pei Yihong suddenly woke up: If the situation is really like what Yu Huabei said, the problem may be serious!There are always beautiful women in current corruption cases, and Qian Huiren is more than one cadre who has been knocked down by a beautiful woman with money!Moreover, Qian Huiren seems to have done quite cleverly this time, and the form of corruption has kept pace with the times and has changed: it is obviously a bribe, but it is a fraud by creating a false appearance, so he can only say: "Then seek the truth and investigate Check it out!" Yu Huabei asked: "Comrade Yihong, do you think we should go through a procedure first and go to the Standing Committee to study it?" Pei Yihong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Isn't it appropriate to go to the Standing Committee now? Based on this clue, we can file a case against Qian Huiren for review? Where is the evidence? Let's get a hold of it internally. Internal investigation, let the relevant departments find that Sun Pingping first, and then talk about it, my personal opinion can only be handled as a fraud case now!" Yu Huabei hesitated for a moment, "Comrade Yihong, do you know who the general manager of this investment company is?" Pei Yihong looked at Yu Huabei, feeling quite uneasy in his heart, but tried to keep calm on his face, "Who is it?" Yu Huabei said: "It's Bai Xiaoliang, the son of Comrade Bai Ming, the deceased vice chairman of the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions!" Pei Yihong was taken aback, "Oh? Bai Ming's son? Comrade Bai Ming is the old party secretary of Ningchuan!" Yu Huabei said: "Yes! So, Comrade Yihong, this case is more complicated! Anbang's feelings for Comrade Baiming are not a secret among the cadres and masses of our province. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it! This case involves Anbang His old subordinate and the son of Anbang's old leader, for the sake of prudence, I'm afraid he still has to go to the Standing Committee!" Pei Yihong's heart sank a little bit, the problem was more serious than he imagined: Zhao Anbang's feelings for Baiming were not a secret, and neither was Yu Huabei's quarrel with Baiming!When he was in Wenshan in the 1980s, Yu Huabei had a serious conflict with Bai Ming, and Bai Ming was shot down for the first time.Afterwards, Tian Ming went to Ningchuan to work as the secretary of the municipal party committee, and started to work in the private sector. Yu Huabei led the investigation team of the provincial party committee to finalize the four major crimes committed by the Ningchuan municipal party committee, and made Bai Ming sit on the bench in the Federation of Trade Unions.Now, Secretary Qin of the Disciplinary Committee is studying at the Central Party School, and is temporarily in charge of discipline inspection in North China, but it is Bai Ming's son and Bai Ming's former love general Qian Huiren, which is a bit tricky! Therefore, Pei Yihong clearly instructed: "Old Yu, the issue of Qian Huiren cannot be brought up to the Standing Committee yet. Let me emphasize again: when we deal with the Ningchuan issue, we must talk about politics, the overall situation, and strategy! The current overall situation is What? Ningchuan's top party and government leaders are about to be promoted. If there hadn't been this sudden bribery case, Wang Rucheng and Qian Huiren would both have been promoted to the vice-provincial level. Comrades!" Yu Huabei smiled bitterly and said, "Comrade Yihong, it is precisely because of this that we have to be responsible, otherwise..." Pei Yihong knew what Yu Huabei was going to say, forced a smile, and interrupted Yu Huabei, "Stop talking, Lao Yu, let the Commission for Discipline Inspection clarify the situation first, and don't express any attitude now, okay? ?” Yu Huabei was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, Comrade Yihong, anyway, I have reported everything that needs to be reported!" He looked at Pei Yihong with a consulting look, and asked, "Look, should I talk to Ann first?" What about Bunton Ventilation?" Pei Yihong immediately vetoed it, "Don't, don't, let me deal with this anger, don't complicate the problem!" Yu Huabei seemed to know what was in his mind, so he didn't say anything, put down the report materials from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and got up to leave. Pei Yihong originally wanted to talk to Yu Huabei about the Wenshan team, but he lost his temper because of Qian Huiren's affairs, so he just clicked at the door, "Old Yu, did Liu Zhuangfu, secretary of the Wenshan Municipal Party Committee, visit you recently?" report?" Yu Huabei was a little surprised, "Oh, Comrade Yihong, so you asked Comrade Zhuangfu to report to me?!" Pei Yihong didn't have the time to say more, "Old Yu, you and the organization department should pay attention to this Tian Fengyi!" Yu Huabei seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything. He nodded sullenly and went out. That night, Pei Yihong couldn't sleep well, and he couldn't fall asleep after taking sleeping pills twice, so he got up again to read the material left by Huabei, and the more he looked at it, the more annoyed he felt.I picked up the red security machine several times, and wanted to call Zhao Anbang who was holding a wealth summit in Ningchuan to inform about Qian Huiren's problem, but after much deliberation, I finally gave up.
