Chapter 158 Mastering Easy Learning

After Yi Xuexi was summoned to the Organization Department.

Tian Guofu then continued the meeting.

New suggestions were put forward, and a thorough investigation was intensified to see if anyone was involved in Zhao Ruilong's plan and concealed the hidden dangers in the project.

No one raised any objection.

Regardless, every participant gained an impression.

Yi Xuexi is truly ruthless; he has no regard for past relationships and is incredibly cruel when he takes action.

People's views on what is easy to learn have also gradually changed.

Following Tian Guofu's line of thought, the investigation team actually found several people.

At a crucial stage before the project was launched, he accepted bribes from Zhao Ruilong and deliberately kept quiet about the potential problems that had been brewing in the food court.

This can be considered as having yielded some results.

After Yi Xuexi went to the Organization Department...

Lei Yu stepped forward, received Yi Xuexi, and spoke with him for a few minutes.

They only talked about work-related matters, never mentioning the incident of calling Yi Xuexi to the Organization Department.

Yi Xuexi couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up, expressing his firm stance.

Seeing that he was so sensible, Lei Yu stopped making things difficult for him and set the tone by saying that "the special review of the file has not found any other problems for the time being, and the error will be corrected after the unit provides new supporting materials," thus letting Yi Xuexi leave.

With a smile on his face, Yi Xuexi bid farewell to Lei Yu and left the office of the executive vice minister.

From beginning to end, Yi Xuexi didn't even get to see Xia Qing's face.

But he knew in his heart that during his conversation with Lei Yu just now, his career had already taken a rollercoaster ride.

If you say something wrong, or fail to express your opinion proactively, you will be at risk.

If the files are thoroughly reviewed, numerous loopholes will be found, and then more problems will surface.

Yi Xuexi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, recalling Lei Yu's last words, a half-smile on his face:

"Comrade, you must be extremely cautious in your work."

Yi Xuexi shuddered.

Today, I have truly witnessed Xia Qing's abilities.

I don't want this to happen again.

As soon as Yi Xuexi stepped out of Building No. 2, someone was waiting at the door, smiling at him and saying:

"Secretary Yi? Our Secretary Yuliang would like to invite you over for a chat."

Gao Yuliang invited me?

Yi Xuexi was quite surprised, but since it was an invitation from the provincial third-level organization, he couldn't ignore it.

He straightened his collar, adopting his usual demeanor of an incorruptible and unyielding cadre, and said:

"Please lead the way."

So he followed that person.

When I arrived at Gao Yuliang's office, tea had already been brewed and placed on the table.

Gao Yuliang reached out his hand and said:

"Please sit down, I'm studying."

Yi Xuexi sat down properly and quietly looked at Gao Yuliang, wondering what the other party was up to.

Gao Yuliang, on the other hand, was very relaxed, leaning back in his chair, a stark contrast to Yi Xuexi, who was sitting upright.

"Study, relax, I just wanted to chat with you today."

Gao Yuliang broke the deadlock by speaking:

"The last time we sat together like this was when I was the Party Secretary of Luzhou and you were the Director of the Transportation Bureau."

Yi Xuexi snorted coldly. He really looked down on Gao Yuliang, always regarding him as a pawn of the Zhao family, and said rudely:

"What advice does Secretary Gao have? Please speak frankly."

Seeing Yi Xuexi's unruly attitude, Gao Yuliang wasn't annoyed. Instead, he spoke gently and kindly:

"I understand you have some opinions about me. But I want to tell you that I'm the one who recommended you for the deputy head of the Luzhou investigation team, hoping you'll achieve good results."

Yi Xuexi was taken aback.

It was Gao Yuliang who recommended him to be the deputy group leader?

I thought it was Tian Guofu or even Sha Ruijin who personally selected him.

Who would have thought it would be Gao Yuliang, whom I've always disliked?

"He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to feed him," so Yi Xuexi toned down his sharp edge and softened his tone, saying:

"...Thank you for your kindness, Secretary Gao."

Gao Yuliang took a sip of tea and then said:

"Your situation in the investigation team is quite delicate right now. Although your idea is bold, you've acted too hastily. I suspect you won't have an easy time when you get back."

Yi Xuexi's hand stopped at the edge of the teacup. He didn't say a word, but his knuckles turned white from the force.

He understood Gao Yuliang's words perfectly well; this time, Yi Xuexi had completely lost face in the investigation team.

Everyone knows that Yi Xuexi doesn't hold grudges, and everyone knows that Yi Xuexi was targeted by the Organization Department.

But Yi Xuexi never dared to retaliate again.

He had previously thought he could go toe-to-toe with Xia Qing, but now it seems that even Lei Yu's slightest move was too much for Yi Xuexi to handle.

How can one even talk about directly confronting the Minister of Organization?

Yi Xuexi felt a wave of annoyance and said:

"What should I do then? Please advise, Secretary Gao."

"Okay, if you think what I'm about to say makes sense, then listen carefully." Gao Yuliang cleared his throat and said:

"To put it bluntly, your backer is Secretary Sha... Don't rush to deny it, let me finish. Secretary Sha promoted you exceptionally, that's true, right? Now that Secretary Sha is suspended from his post because of the project, what does he need most? Someone who can uncover some juicy dirt on the project in Luzhou City to clear his name!"

As Gao Yuliang spoke, he tapped the table, and his speech became increasingly rapid:

"According to the investigation team's methods, Secretary Sha won't be satisfied! What you need to do is dig deep into all the problems and hidden stories! You must be fearless, undeterred by anyone or anything, and investigate to the very end! Once you have a large amount of solid evidence, submit it to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Secretary Sha will immediately be able to prove his innocence, right? At that time, not only will the provincial party secretary be grateful to you, but the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will also treat you differently! The day you want to advance further and enter the Standing Committee, you will have the support of both the provincial leader and higher-level leaders! Think about it carefully, doesn't that make sense!"

Yi Xuexi was deeply moved by Gao Yuliang's impassioned speech, and upon careful consideration, he even discerned some truth in it.

According to Gao Yuliang, by thoroughly investigating the project task force, not only can a lot of "substantial information" be found, but it can also further solidify his glorious image of being incorruptible and upright.

In the end, he won the favor of his superiors and gained a good reputation among cadres and the masses.

That's a win-win situation!

Yi Xuexi thought about it more and more and felt that Gao Yuliang's words made a lot of sense, but he was unwilling to show that he had accepted Gao Yuliang's advice, and still propped his neck up and said:

"Secretary Gao's words make some sense. I'll think about it again when I get back."

Gao Yuliang's smile grew even brighter:

"Okay, no problem! Think about it carefully!"

Gao Yuliang escorted Yi Xuexi to the office door. Yi Xuexi stood ramrod straight and nodded slightly, saying:

"Secretary Gao, please wait."

Gao Yuliang was taken aback, then smiled and said:

"Good! We should learn from you. Your posture and demeanor are reminiscent of an ancient gentleman! We, the political and legal cadres, must learn from you."

These words of praise made Yi Xuexi feel like he was on cloud nine, but he still suppressed his inner joy and said in a deep voice:

"Secretary Gao, you are too modest. I am just an ordinary cadre. Farewell."

After saying that, Yi Xuexi walked away without looking back, his back ramrod straight.

As Gao Yuliang watched Yi Xuexi's figure gradually disappear, the smile on his face faded away.

He returned to his office and closed the door.

Now, the investigation team is really in chaos.

Gao Yuliang eagerly awaited the moment when Yi Xuexi would place those unspoken, bombshell revelations on the desk of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection leaders.

Their expressions, and Sha Ruijin's expression after hearing the news.

It will be so exciting.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuliang was filled with emotion and said coldly:

"Easy to learn? Just Hou Liangping who didn't find a good wife."
