Chapter 11 Nine

When Chen Zhengxiang received Xia Zhongmin's call, he looked at his watch, it was already 2:40 in the morning.It's not going to be an easy call, both men know. "Zhongmin, today I asked you to call me no matter what, it's not about me." Chen Zhengxiang no longer exchanged pleasantries, let me tell you, I have already met several relevant leaders in the province these days , Today I also met Secretary Wei Yu at the Haozhou Municipal Committee, and I also talked about your situation.Xia Zhongmin, I will only reveal one thing to you right now. There is not much personnel adjustment in the re-election of the party congress. You are the only one promoted, and you will be the mayor. Immediately adjusted, deputy secretary Yang exchanged with the deputy secretary of the same county, and the discipline inspection secretary exchanged with the director of the Procuratorate of the Disciplinary Inspection Commission of Haozhou City.In this way, the situation of this change of term may be much better. "

"Secretary Chen, is this the decision of the Haozhou Municipal Party Committee?" Xia Zhongmin asked suddenly.Yang Jining, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Ding Jianchen, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, are both local cadres. They, together with Wang Siji and a deputy secretary in charge of ideology, were promoted by the former secretary Liu Shibei.The four of them, together with the current head of organization, are called the first core group of the Dianjiang Municipal Party Committee.No matter what the problem is, as long as they agree, whether it is at the secretary's office meeting or at the standing committee of the municipal party committee, it will basically be considered as passed.As early as when Chen Zhengxiang was transferred to Dianjiang, Xia Zhongmin talked to Chen Zhengxiang about this situation with all his heart. If this situation cannot be resolved, then you, the secretary, and the mayor are phony. Power will be emptied, and everything will only be a display in the end.If this small group was broken up, even if only three or two were transferred, the situation would immediately improve, and Dianjiang's work would be much easier and smoother.

"Secretary Wei Yu told me this, and I agree, there is nothing wrong with it." Chen Zhengxiang said seriously. "I think this possibility is very small. Before the Standing Committee of the Haozhou Municipal Committee, everything will change." Xia Zhongmin still didn't say a word, and the Haozhou Municipal Committee is not monolithic.Besides, the Haozhou Municipal Party Committee is above the Provincial Party Committee.For so many years, the adjustment of Dian Jiang's team has not been completely resolved, because the problem is below and the root is above. "Zhongmin, don't worry, don't look at things with old eyes." Chen Zhengxiang's tone suddenly became hard, "I have already told Secretary Wei Yu that if Dianjiang's team does not adjust this time, then I will There is no guarantee that Ding Jiang will have a smooth transition this time.”

Xia Zhongmin suddenly felt very moved, because he felt that Chen Zhengxiang seemed to have changed recently. At least he began to face up to the problems of Dian Jiang's team and was ready to work hard for it. "There are also several directors of the Municipal Urban Construction Committee who have studied it. The director of the Planning Institute should be suspended for inspection? Or even the construction engineering bureau should be removed and merged with the Municipal Construction Corporation?" Chen Zhengxiang asked. "...Yes." Zhongmin was taken aback, he didn't expect Chen Zhengxiang to know about this just after he came back, so he told the truth.There is no need for this planning institute to exist at all.The subordinates of the Urban Construction Committee already had a planning office. When Liu Shibei set up this unit, in addition to expanding the number of cadres and arranging his own people, the most important thing was to transform the functions belonging to the government into the power of the municipal committee.The actions of the City Planning Institute and the Construction Engineering Bureau are still continuing and serving this purpose.In fact, I told you a long time ago that there is already a municipal construction company in our city, why do we have to set up another construction engineering bureau?What's more, it's still an administrative agency, taking all the finances, but it's all about restricting the development of enterprises.The problem with Jinsheng Community this time is still that these two organizations colluded together, not only overturning the resolutions that the municipal party committee and the municipal government had already studied and passed, but also making the city government unable to do anything, and the city and urban construction committee unable to do so. The municipal construction company can't do it.Secretary Chen, the organizational structure of Dianjiang City can no longer be so chaotic. Everything has one brand and two teams.The municipal party committee has to take charge of everything that the municipal government is in charge of. In the end, nothing can be done, and in the end, only the secretary has the final say.At this point, I'm not afraid of your anger. The fact is that many matters of the municipal party committee and government are not in your hands, but Wang Siji's.Think about it, why did what happened in Jinsheng Community on Hongqi Street happen when you were not in Dianjiang?Not only are they behind the scenes, but they are directly involved.If such a big problem is not dealt with, what authority does the entire municipal party committee and municipal government have. "

"... Zhongmin, listen to me, this matter should be put down immediately." After a long time, Chen Zhengxiang said very sincerely and at the same time sternly. "Why?" Zhongmin asked in surprise. Chen Zhengxiang answered very simply.Think about it, if there is no background, no background, a planning institute under the Urban Construction Committee would dare to confront you like this, who gave him such audacity?If you withdraw the Construction Engineering Bureau, and then the Planning Institute, how do we arrange these people?A little intolerance can lead to big plans, and you don't know that the director of the Planning Institute is a cadre arranged by Wang Siji, the son-in-law of the former deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, the cousin of the old secretary Liu Shibei, and most importantly, his uncle is now The deputy director of the People's Congress of Dianjiang City!I think you know better than me the background of the director and secretary of the Construction Engineering Bureau. He is Wang Siji's fellow villager and classmate.Whether it is the party congress or the people's congress, he has at least seven or eight delegates.Zhongmin, you can’t ignore this, politics is just like this, do you understand?This has a crucial impact on your next mayoral election. "

"If it's because of this, then I'd rather not be the mayor!" Zhongmin couldn't help shouting. "Nonsense!" Chen Zhengxiang couldn't help scolding angrily. "If you don't even have this bit of common sense and strategy, how can you be the mayor of Dianjiang in the future! Do you know that this cadre community covers the interests of hundreds of department-level and department-level cadres in the entire Dianjiang. You don't want to Think, why do they dare to deliberately overthrow your original plan at this time, what is their purpose? Could it be that you really can’t even see this! These people will participate in voting in the future, not just waiting to live in a safe house Those ordinary people here!"

"I absolutely don't believe that all the cadres in Dianjiang are at this level. If they all have this kind of understanding and level, even if I become the mayor, what use is it! I belong to the 1.7 million people in Dianjiang. The mayor, not the mayor of these hundreds of cadres at the department level! Secretary Chen, I told you a long time ago that if I, the mayor, will only serve these cadres in the future, let alone the secretary of the mayor. I, the executive deputy mayor, will never do it now, and I will resign immediately!" Zhongmin originally wanted to try to calm himself down, but after talking about it, he became more and more excited.When it comes to emotion, I can hardly control myself.

"Okay, okay, I just said that you understand the general situation and take into account the overall situation. I didn't expect you to ignore my words at all!" Chen Zhengxiang's tone suddenly became sad and sad. "Zhongmin, when will you seriously change your violent temper? I have already told you that I will leave the entire Dian River to you. Especially in the political handover, the transition must be smooth first, and then smooth Transition. What is politics? Politics is to compromise when it needs to be compromised, and to give in when it needs to be compromised."

"If the interests of a regime are only for the interests of a small group of people, then no matter what kind of regime it is, no matter what kind of politics and interests it is, it will collapse sooner or later." His tone softened. "Secretary Chen, you know better than I do that the incident in the Jinsheng community has long gone beyond the scope of conflicts of interests! It is a plunder of interests and a seizure of power. It will be July soon, if this community is converted into a residence for cadres In the district, once the common people know about it, once they make trouble, how should we answer and explain it! How do we deal with the demolished households who are eagerly waiting to live in their new houses before winter this year? How do we deal with them? I think this It is no longer a question of votes, but a big question of whether our entire Dianjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government can exist reasonably, and whether we can pass the customs smoothly! Personal matters can always only be trivial matters, and even politics can only be petty politics Small interests. The affairs of the country, the government, the party, and the masses. That is the big politics.

"Okay, okay, look, you're here again, right? Zhongmin, okay, I don't want to talk to you anymore on the phone, it's still the same sentence, listen to me, you immediately put everything All the work and arrangements that would offend people and cause troubles have been stopped, and the task now is one thing: the general election! As long as the general election can be changed smoothly and you can be elected as the mayor smoothly, I will thank God and can I have retired and returned to my hometown steadily. When you become the mayor, you can do whatever you want, and I will work for a year or so if I die, and I will leave the whole river to you, what else do you want?"

When Zhongmin heard this, he suddenly felt that he had completely lost the ability to speak. He simply didn't know what to say. "Zhongmin, there is one more thing I need to confirm to you. I have not been here for the past two days. Did you not greet the municipal party committee and the municipal government, and arranged for people to investigate several cases in private?" Chen Zhengxiang's tone was not only severe, but also And there is no doubt about it. Zhongmin was stunned for a while, so that he didn't speak for a long time.This is a joint investigation team formed just a few days ago by the Haozhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Supervisory Committee, Haozhou City Procuratorate, and Anti-Corruption Bureau.Because the case was directly approved by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervisory Committee, and it was only a preliminary investigation, and it involved provincial management units, it was still in the stage of strict confidentiality, and the number of people who knew it was very small.However, because the case also involved some departments and enterprises of the Dianjiang Municipal Government, for the sake of confidentiality, when organizing the investigation team, the investigation team only notified the executive vice mayor Xia Zhongmin of the matter from the municipal government. The municipal party committee only notified Wang Jingdong, the deputy secretary in charge of political and legal discipline inspection.There are only two people secretly dispatched by Dianjiang City to cooperate with the investigation team, one is Qin Kang, deputy secretary of the Disciplinary Inspection Committee of Dianjiang Municipal Party Committee, and the other is Zhang Jun, deputy chief of the Engineering Section of the Audit Bureau.As for these two people, Xia Zhongmin decided to let them participate after careful consideration and brainstorming.At that time, Zhongmin had only one idea. Since it was a case involving the government, and it was directly approved by the province to be investigated, it must arrange for reliable people who could be responsible for the organization to participate.So as not to cause extra problems on such issues, and make the hearts of the cadres and masses of the entire Dian River unstable.Xia Zhongmin also asked the investigation team leader if he wanted to greet other leaders. The investigation team leader said no, the smaller the scope of knowledge, the better. "Zhongmin, I heard that you personally arranged the investigators?" Zhongmin was thinking about how to answer, when Chen Zhengxiang asked again abruptly. Hearing this, Xia Zhongmin was not only taken aback.Since Secretary Chen knew everything, the matter had come to an end, so he could only tell the truth. "I agreed to let Qin Kang go, and Deputy Chief Zhang of the Engineering Department of the Audit Bureau was let go by Secretary Wang Jingdong. "Okay, okay, Zhongmin, I'm not trying to track down anything, nor do I want to question you." Chen Zhengxiang explained carefully, as if he tried his best not to stir up Xia Zhongmin's anger. "It's still the same sentence. If you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy. Everything must be changed. Zhongmin, listen to me again about this matter. Immediately transfer Tan Kang and Zhang Jun back. They love to send Whoever will be sent there, we don't need to worry about it, okay?" "Why?" Xia Zhongmin couldn't believe his ears. He had been assisting in handling the case for two days, and everything was in the process, and he wanted to bring back the people who had been transferred out. Isn't this treating such a serious case handling work like a joke!Thinking of this, Xia Zhongmin said seriously: "If it's other things, you can make concessions, but you can't make concessions on such things. I firmly disagree, and I hope you will stand firm." "Zhongmin! Why do you want me to stand up! What can I stand up for! I can't stand up, and you can't stand up!" Chen Zhengxiang suddenly lost his temper, "If you are all like this, you can listen to everything. If you don’t go in, then I don’t care about anything! Just treat what I just said as fart!” Having said that, Chen Zhengxiang snapped and hung up the phone. Xia Zhongmin thought for a while, checked the time, and decided to call Qin Kang, the deputy secretary of the discipline inspection. Got through, but no one answered! After ten minutes, he tried again, and he couldn't help being surprised: the phone was off! Qin Kang, the deputy secretary of the Disciplinary Inspection Committee of the Dianjiang Municipal Party Committee, is a stern and upright discipline inspection cadre recognized by the common people. Over the years, Xia Zhongmin mentioned the issue of Qin Kang's arrangement at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee many times, but almost every time To no avail.What made Xia Zhongmin particularly angry and worried was that some of the cadres that Tan Kang had investigated and dealt with under heavy pressure over the years either changed places to become officials again, or were rehabilitated without Qin Kang's knowledge, and even remained in office while being punished. Use, and some are even promoted and reused!What makes Xia Zhongmin particularly disturbed is that the current Secretary of the Disciplinary Inspection Commission of the Municipal Party Committee, Ding Jianchen, is the former mayor of Jiangyin District. Chen had been investigated and dealt with by Qin Kang many times, and was finally punished with serious party and administrative demerits.However, such a cadre, after two years, became a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Disciplinary Inspection Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and the supervisor of Tan Kang who had investigated and dealt with him at the beginning! This sensational thing happened right under my nose!And there is nothing I can do! These days, the joint investigation team has basically been stationed in a secluded guest house next to a hill on the outskirts of Dianjiang City to investigate and check the relevant accounts. Except for Qin Kang and Deputy Section Chief Zhang of the Audit Bureau, there are a total of four people from the province and city.Even Xia Zhongmin didn't know exactly what the joint investigation team was investigating this time.Tan Kang went for two days and only called him once, and didn't say anything to him. On the contrary, Deputy Section Chief Zhang of the auditing bureau had called Xia Zhongmin several times. From Deputy Section Chief Zhang's oblique words, Xia Zhongmin vaguely knew some of the circumstances of these cases. One is related to the listed company "Hua Technology", one is related to the "Huangyuan Stock" group company that is preparing to go public, one is related to the "World Bank" Dijiang Office, and the other is related to a high-tech project invested by the Provincial Planning Commission in Dijiang. And these cases are all related to the same place: Dianjiang High-tech Development Zone.In addition, there is another case involving the abuse of cadres in Dianjiang City and the serious overcrowding of personnel arrangements!This case is still related to Dianjiang High-tech Development Zone, because the current director of the development zone is Liu Shibei, the former secretary of Dianjiang!The whistleblowers and reporting levels of several cases are really extraordinary. The time, place, event, number, parties, and specific details are all clearly and clearly stated.For example, regarding the promotion of cadres, when Liu Shibei left the post of secretary of the municipal party committee, they actually promoted nearly 400 cadres at once!Even his driver who had only attended elementary school for two years many years ago, and the correspondent who was the director of the revolutionary committee in the commune during the "Cultural Revolution", were all promoted from workers to department-level cadres in one fell swoop!From the tone of Deputy Section Chief Zhang Jun at that time, it could almost be felt that the investigation work of the joint investigation team had already won. What happened to Dianjiang was by no means as simple as imagined. Judging from Secretary Chen Zhengxiang's attitude and anger tonight, the existence and investigation of this investigation team will never be a good sign. He looked at the time again, and finally couldn't help dialing the mobile phone number of Deputy Section Chief Zhang Jun. It seemed that after only two rings, Zhang Jun turned on the phone. "Mayor Xia, today I called you all day but I didn't get through." From Zhang Jun's tone, it seemed that Zhang Jun had been waiting for his call. "Mayor Xia, Secretary Qin is very angry today. He is very... angry with you today. He suspects that you may have deceived him. He said he didn't expect you to do so many things that he couldn't think of. " "...Angry at me? Tell me clearly, what did I do that he couldn't think of?" Xia Zhongmin was puzzled. "Mayor Xia, please remember well, for example, in terms of personnel issues, such as the recruitment of government agencies, the distribution of graduates, and some financial issues, personnel arrangements for some special enterprises and institutions. In addition, economically, For example, there are a lot of extraordinary expenditures from the Municipal Finance Bureau, especially a few large sums of bank and government mortgage projects. Did these things... all go through you at the beginning? Or, did they all ask for your approval? Agree?" When he said this, Zhang Jun's tone suddenly became extremely cautious and subtle. Xia Zhongmin was stunned for a moment! "... When did this happen?" "In terms of time, there will be in the past, and there will be after you become the executive deputy mayor." "How big are these payments? How many are there?" "If you want to talk about the number, there are many. There are several million, tens of millions. There are also two mortgages with a larger amount, one is more than 50 million, and the other is close to 100 million. The total number Not many, at least eight or nine times." "If it is such a large amount, and the time is after I became the executive deputy mayor, then I can tell you with certainty that there has never been such a thing! Please tell Qin Kang, I will use my Partisanship and personality guarantees, I don't know these things at all." "...But, Mayor Xia, those approval documents and those reports all have your signature and instructions." Zhang Jun spoke very fast this time. "My signature and instructions!" Xia Zhongmin was stunned once again. Since he came to Dianjiang, he had almost never been in charge of personnel affairs. He only remembered that he had signed a few re-transferred cadres. How could such a large amount of illegal and disciplinary sums be agreed inadvertently, in a daze, and in a daze, and even signed his own written instructions and name! He suddenly thought of Qin Kang again.On this kind of issue, only Tan Kang can analyze it clearly and logically, let him deal with those evil intentions, animal intentions, ulterior motives and dangers with the heart of ordinary people. Evil intentions! However, Tan Kang didn't answer his call! ... No wonder Tan Kang didn't answer his calls!
