Chapter 64 Li Dakang's Angry
Yi Xuexi sat in the office of the head of the environmental protection inspection team, staring at the documents on the table, at a loss.
The environmental inspection of the food court, as well as the investigation into the project's approval process at the time, yielded less than optimistic results.
Gao Yuliang was more cunning than I had imagined.
All decisions were made by a centralized vote of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee; not a single decision was made by Gao Yuliang alone.
All kinds of procedures, from written materials to meeting minutes, are available.
The completion of the food court has also boosted tax revenue and created jobs in Lüzhou City, supported by detailed data.
It can be said to be flawless.
The only thing that can be used is the current environmental problems of the food court.
Yi Xuexi rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling a sense of frustration.
He underestimated Gao Yuliang.
He thought he had gained Sha Ruijin's favor and would be promoted to deputy director.
With Sha Ruijin's support behind the scenes, they were able to quickly find the weaknesses in the food court and Gao Yuliang's scheme.
However, after so many days, the results have been minimal.
After much hesitation, Yi Xuexi dialed the landline on the table.
After three beeps.
Tian Guofu answered the phone and replied:
"Feed?"
"Secretary Tian, it's me, Yi Xuexi." Yi Xuexi thought for a moment and said solemnly:
"The food court...there's not much progress. Aside from the existing environmental pollution problem, nothing else has been found..."
Tian Guofu showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever, as if he had expected this, and said on the phone:
"It really is Gao Yuliang. Here's what we'll do: have the inspection team stop investigating Gao Yuliang's approvals from back then, and focus on the bottom line of ecological and environmental protection. Make sure the pollution caused by the food court to the surrounding environment is solid, with very solid data to support it. As for taxes and employment, don't mention a single word about them."
Yi Xuexi quickly understood Tian Guofu's meaning: this was to put pressure on Zhao Ruilong on the issue of environmental protection, and then take over the food court.
Yi Xuexi said "Understood" and went to prepare, leaving Tian Guofu in the office, deep in thought.
Should we proactively inform Sha Ruijin about Chen Yanshi's shareholding?
After much deliberation, Tian Guofu decided not to say anything.
Having an extra card in your hand is always a good thing.
After all, his relationship with Sha Ruijin was that of equal supervisors and competitors, both being parachuted-in cadres.
You never know when you might need it.
……
At this moment, in the compound of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.
Li Dakang was discussing a matter with Zhang Shuli, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Sun Haiping, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, with a serious expression.
Zhao Donglai, the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, also sat to the side, listening in silence.
Li Dakang was in a terrible mood and kept a straight face the whole time.
It was all due to the special investigation into the three officials promoted by Xia Qing.
Whether at Xia Qing's behest or not, the joint investigation team composed of the Organization Department, the Audit Department, the Public Security Department, and the Procuratorate conducted a particularly vigorous investigation into the cadres of Jingzhou City, especially Guangming District.
The key point is that it's effective.
To date, three provincial-level and seven division-level officials have been treated as "sick officials" and face suspension or even demotion.
Even more seriously, the investigation team actually found two officials at the division level with family members residing abroad in Jingzhou City.
This is definitely a serious attempt to undermine Li Dakang.
As the municipal party secretary, he was suspected of having officials whose family members were abroad, but because of his status as a member of the provincial standing committee, no one dared to mention it. Behind his back, everyone would say a few words about it.
Now, under his jurisdiction, two division-level leaders have been found to be officials whose spouses and children have emigrated abroad, which has had an extremely negative impact and has greatly damaged the image of his municipal party secretary.
Li Dakang first questioned the Discipline Inspection Commission, asking why the city had not known about the situation of officials with family members residing abroad beforehand, and why the provincial investigation team had uncovered it instead.
Zhang Shuli's response was naturally to shift the blame and shirk responsibility.
Li Dakang, seething with anger, asked the Political and Legal Affairs Commission why it never led the Municipal Public Security Bureau to conduct a thorough investigation of the situation of officials with family members residing abroad.
Sun Haiping could only sneer and turn his head away.
All I wanted to do was curse!
Is our Political and Legal Affairs Commission conducting a thorough investigation of officials whose spouses and children are abroad?
Who doesn't know that the biggest "naked official" in the entire Jingzhou is our municipal party secretary?
Am I sure I'm not just making myself miserable by doing this job?
Of course, Sun Haiping could have whatever he wanted, but he had to endure the scolding from his superiors.
Li Dakang encountered two setbacks from Zhang Shuli and Sun Haiping.
Enraged, he saw Zhao Donglai sitting relaxed on the sofa, pointed at him, and shouted angrily:
"Zhao Donglai! Why didn't your municipal police bureau have any information about the city's officials with family members residing abroad? What are you doing as the police chief?!"
Zhao Donglai froze on the spot, unsure whether to stand or sit, and finally lowered his head, humbly accepting the criticism.
At this moment, Sun Haiping, barely suppressing a laugh, spoke:
"Secretary Dakang, let me interject. Now that the problem has arisen, we can only let nature take its course. But don't you find it strange? You just supported the Discipline Inspection Commission's inspection of Luzhou Food City in the province, and the Organization Department immediately launched an investigation into officials, and the first stop was our Jingzhou City... Don't you think this is a bit too purposeful?"
Li Dakang immediately calmed down after hearing Sun Haiping's words, and his mind raced.
Yes, it's true that the investigation of the food court was aimed at Gao Yuliang, and Xia Qing's proposal to investigate the Three Officials came at just the right time.
It seems like they're standing up for Gao Yuliang?
Thinking of this, Li Dakang looked at Sun Haiping and asked:
"Old Sun, what do you mean?"
"I didn't mean anything by it. Secretary Dakang, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I still have some work to arrange at the committee." Sun Haiping said with a smile, and without paying any attention to Li Dakang's displeased look, he stood up and left the office.
Li Dakang wanted to lash out but was helpless.
Sun Haiping was known for his uprightness. Unlike Zhang Shuli and Sun Liancheng, he was not afraid of his position as Party Secretary, nor was he as obedient as Zhao Donglai.
Previously, there had been some friction due to some disagreements at work.
Li Dakang took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Shuli and Zhao Donglai, and said with lingering anger:
"So, we're just going to let the investigation team take away problematic officials right here in Jingzhou? What's the point of having the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government then?"
"Secretary Dakang, calm down." Zhao Donglai, whose mind was always very sharp, had vaguely caught Sun Haiping's unspoken meaning from what he had just overheard, and said:
"I think Secretary Haiping is giving us a reminder. If, and I mean if, the provincial Party committee's investigation is indeed helping Gao Yuliang retaliate, then we have a suitable person here who can also be used to retaliate."
Li Dakang became interested, leaned forward, and asked:
"Who?"
Zhao Donglai smiled mysteriously and said:
"The person who made the judgment on the equity of Dafeng Factory back then is now the vice president of the Municipal Intermediate People's Court, Chen Qingquan!"
"Chen Qingquan?" Li Dakang was quite familiar with the name, but couldn't recall it for a moment.
After recalling for a long time, Li Dakang's eyes lit up as he said:
"I think he used to be... Secretary Yu Liang's secretary!"
