Section 4: Erosion

The atmosphere of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

No matter who is not mentally prepared for Huang Zhizhong's sudden defeat by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, even if it has nothing to do with him, it will undoubtedly destroy his image of An Yuan. Moreover, Huang Zhizhong has always beenhaved in a normal way in many people's impressions. Although he talks less and has a little bit of a slight temperament, this is often a good temper recognized by everyone.

But now this image has collapsed, and it is almost unquestionable that his fall will involve others, it just depends on the level of the people involved and how many people will be involved.

"Old Feng, you should briefly introduce the situation to everyone. I guess everyone already knows that it is Huang Zhizhong's affairs, but how big the matter is, when and what the specific situation is, I don't know about the specific situation." Ling Zhengyue's expression was cold and he had a hint of teasing, "Even if the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection wants to keep it confidential, it is only targeting Huang Zhizhong himself involved in the case. I don't believe that our Anyuan Province will involve a deputy provincial cadre."

Feng Gang seemed to have no feeling about the provincial party secretary's targeted attitude. He stroked the glasses on his nose and said without emotion: "The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection currently has a special task force living in Andu, and the main investigation is the personnel drawn from this task force from other provinces. Our Anyuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection mainly assisted in finding people and coordinating other units to cooperate, and did not directly participate in the investigation. As of the time before I came to attend the meeting, Director Li of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and I exchanged some situations."

Everyone's ears were erect, including Zhao Guodong. Before the meeting, Feng Gang just briefly reported to Ling Zhengyue about the current progress. Everyone else was still confused. He only knew that something happened to Huang Zhizhong, but he knew nothing about the specific situation.

"When Huang Zhizhong was appointed deputy mayor of Andu City in April 2003, when he obtained the land of Hebin A2, Tianhe District, which is the current Taihe Garden plot for Hongye Real Estate, and received 600,000 yuan in cash and 100,000 US dollars in Hongye Real Estate. This fact has been determined. Huang Zhizhong himself also explained this fact. Both the financial personnel and the handling personnel of Hongye Real Estate have confirmed this situation. In this fact, Hongye Real Estate also gave it to the then Tianhe District Executive Officer respectively.

Deputy District Mayor Zhao Donghai, currently the mayor of Qingjiang District, had 200,000 yuan in cash and a Rolex gold watch worth 120,000 yuan, and was given to Li Hong, the then deputy director of the Andu Municipal Land and Resources Bureau, and Jin Rong, deputy director of the Andu Municipal Construction Committee, had 100,000 yuan in cash. In addition, relevant personnel from Hongye Real Estate also confessed that when they acquired a piece of land in Hubin New District, Lianhu District, they gave Huang Zhizhong a Vacheron Constantin watch and 500,000 yuan in cash. This situation is still under verification."

When he heard that Huang Zhizhong had already admitted this fact, almost everyone subconsciously took a breath, which meant that Huang Zhizhong could erase from the Anyuan political map. What was even more frightening was that this case involved a deputy department-level cadre and two department-level cadres. Will more people be involved in the future?

Zhao Donghai was the mayor of Qingjiang District who was only appointed last year and also a rising young and strong sect in the political arena of Andu. If this case is really involved, it will bring great impact. As for the deputy director of the Land and Resources Bureau and the deputy director of the Construction Committee, the Standing Committee members have long been mentally prepared. Huang Zhizhong was involved in the case in the real estate industry, which will undoubtedly involve leading cadres of the relevant land and construction departments. Therefore, everyone does not care much about the involvement of Li Hongfa and Jin Rong. Moreover, these two are just department-level cadres, far less sensitive than Zhao Donghai.

Clearing his throat, Miao Zhenzhong asked in a deep voice: "Have Zhao Donghai been investigated clearly?"

This is a question that many people are concerned about. Huang Zhizhong's life or death is no longer important. After all, that is the affairs of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he himself has already explained that his inspection and promotion was also a decision by the Organization Department of the Central Committee. Although the province also has to bear the responsibility of dereliction of duty in the early inspection recommendation, the decision is in the Organization Department of the Central Committee. However, Zhao Donghai is a department-level cadre, and he was promoted from the office to a deputy department-level cadre last year. In this regard, he, the deputy secretary in charge of party and group cadres and the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, both have to bear the responsibility.

"It's not clear yet. Director Li didn't tell me about the situation in this regard, but as far as I know, they are already investigating Zhao Donghai's situation. Well, maybe it will be handed over to our provincial discipline inspection commission soon." Feng Gang's expression remained unchanged.

The Standing Committee meeting room was silent. Faced with this situation, everyone seemed to feel that there was nothing to say.

What happened a few years ago, and when Huang Zhizhong was the deputy mayor of Andu City, it had little to do with everyone here. At most, it had something to do with Miao Zhenzhong. But even Miao Zhenzhong was just a responsibility for being inattentive. As a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he could not have grasped everything from the cadres. If so, there was still the responsibility of the Organization Department and the Commission for Discipline Inspection at that time. However, Han Du had already arrived in Hujiang, and Liao Yongtao was no longer with Anyuan. No one could be found in these responsibilities.

"We always remind ourselves of this old saying, but there are still some people who relax their tempering and strengthening their moral cultivation, and are defeated by the corrosion of money, and eventually fall into prison. Therefore, they always cultivate the virtue of governance, think about the harm of greed, and always have the heart to discipline themselves. This is a compulsory course for our generation of Communists to prevent corruption and change." Ling Zhengyue also sighed a little, "Huang Zhizhong's problem has sounded a wake-up call for everyone here. Those present should not only conduct three sentences a day, but also strictly require people and subordinates to do this and resolutely prevent similar incidents."

"Secretary Ling, I think the provincial party committee needs to carry out an ideological rectification activity to resist corruption and prevent degeneration after this matter. However, at present, I think we should still actively communicate with the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to understand how many of our Anyuan leading cadres were involved in the case of Huang Zhizhong, dig out the borers as soon as possible, clean up the atmosphere, eliminate the impact from the specimen, and avoid negative impact on our Anyuan's future work." Miao Zhenzhong raised his voice.

"Well, what Secretary Zhenzhong said makes sense. The 17th National Congress has just ended. We all over the province are still studying and understanding the spirit of the 17th National Congress. This is a matter. To be honest, Secretary Ling and I feel very uncomfortable. Looking at the current situation, I am afraid that a screw is not broken into a pot of soup. If you can make a few or even a dozen, but if something happens, we must face it calmly. It is not easy to avoid medical treatment. It is meaningless to hide it. It is better to have a short pain than a long pain. If you can use this incident to be thoroughly dug out.

I think it is also a good thing to remove some borers hidden and breeding within our party and government. At least it can prescribe a dose of tonic for the work in the future. "Zhao Guodong also continued, "Secretary Ling said just now that in the face of the ever-changing situation under the new situation, we must strengthen our learning, improve our party spirit, and enhance our ability to resist corruption and prevent degeneration. On the other hand, we do not need to make a fuss about this matter, and we do not allow random associations that open our mouths to catch wind and shadow because of this matter."

When Zhao Guodong was talking about this, Feng Gang's phone rang, and everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Feng Gang. Zhao Guodong also subconsciously stopped talking, and Ling Zhengyue's eyes also became a little cold, especially when he saw Feng Gang becoming more serious when answering the phone, Ling Zhengyue's face became even more ugly.

Feng Gang answered the phone for three minutes, and he could only hear a lot of ummy tone, but he couldn't hear much valuable things. He was very tactful and did not leave the Standing Committee meeting room, but sat quietly in his seat to answer the call.

It was not until Feng Gang answered the phone that Ling Zhengyue said in a slightly tired and gloomy voice: "Tell me, who is the problem? Old Feng, I think we here are already mentally prepared to face these things, there is no need to hide it."

"Uh, I just received a notice from Director Li and the others that they had double-regulated Zhou Hongwei, Director of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, ten minutes ago." Feng Gang seemed to feel the pressure brought by the complicated gazes of his colleagues around him, and his voice became low.

"Wow, Zhou Hongwei?! Another big fish, was it when he was the executive vice mayor of Andu City, or when he was the director of the Land and Resources Department?" Ling Zhengyue glanced coldly at Miao Zhenzhong, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, who looked bleak, and asked almost gritted his teeth.

"Director Li did not say that he only said that during the investigation, Zhou Hongwei was found to be suspected of major violations of discipline, and double regulations were needed immediately." Feng Gang said with some difficulty. Of course, he knew the sensitivity of the character Zhou Hongwei once something happened.

Zhou Hongwei's name popped out of Feng Gang's mouth, and all the members of the Standing Committee subconsciously gasped. Zhou Hongwei served as the executive vice mayor of Andu City for many years, and later took over the sensitive position of director of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources. It can be said that once he was dismissed, the problems involved would almost cause Anyuan to fall into a mess. In a sense, it is almost more troublesome than Huang Zhizhong's problem.
