Chapter 230 Chen Yanshi’s dissatisfaction!
The news was like a swift storm, sweeping quickly through the officialdom of the entire province, with Jingzhou as its center.
When the news that Ding Yizhen was successfully captured by Qi Tongwei spread, the entire officialdom was deeply shocked.
In the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee Building, the originally busy and orderly work rhythm was disrupted in an instant. In the conference room, the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee gathered together urgently, and everyone's face was full of shock and solemnity.
The municipal party secretary frowned, holding the report on Ding Yizhen's arrest tightly in his hand, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "How is this possible? Ding Yizhen is involved in many things. His arrest will definitely trigger a series of chain reactions."
The other officials looked at each other, their eyes revealing anxiety and fear, and low voices of discussion rose and fell in the conference room.
"Will anyone among us be implicated? Ding Yizhen has been in Guangming District for so many years and has dealings with many departments." A deputy mayor said worriedly.
"Don't panic, let's wait and see how the investigation goes. But everyone should also be mentally prepared, as this turmoil may not be easily calmed down." The deputy secretary of the municipal party committee tried to stabilize the situation, but his slightly trembling fingers revealed his inner nervousness.
After learning the news, Luo Shanhe, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, immediately put down all the matters in his hands and convened a meeting of core members of the Commission for Discipline Inspection with a serious expression.
His eyes were sharp and his tone was firm as he said: "Ding Yizhen's case is by no means simple. There may be a huge corruption network hidden behind it. The Supreme People's Procuratorate will definitely intervene in the investigation. Our Discipline Inspection Commission must be prepared in advance and comprehensively sort out the clues related to Ding Yizhen. We cannot let go of any suspicious points."
"Secretary Luo, Ding Yizhen's influence in Jingzhou is complex and intertwined, and we will probably encounter a lot of resistance when investigating him." A Discipline Inspection Commission cadre said worriedly.
Luo Shanhe raised his chin slightly, his eyes showing determination: "No matter how much resistance there is, we will investigate to the end. This is to defend the party's discipline and the country's laws, and also to give an explanation to the people of the province."
Gao Yuliang, secretary of the Jinghai Municipal Party Committee, paced back and forth in his office, and his heart was also restless.
As a senior figure in the officialdom, he was well aware of the complexity and seriousness behind the Ding Yizhen incident. When his secretary came in to report, he stopped, pondered for a moment and said, "This incident will cause a huge change in the entire officialdom. We must pay close attention to the dynamics of Jingzhou and check whether there are similar problems in Jinghai. We must not fall into the passive position in this storm."
The provincial party committee leader felt a great sense of responsibility. At the emergency provincial party committee standing committee meeting, the atmosphere was so depressing that it was hard to breathe. The provincial party committee leader sat in the main seat with a serious expression and slowly spoke: "Ding Yizhen's arrest is not just the fall of a district-level official, it concerns the political ecology of the entire province. We must fully cooperate with the investigation of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and at the same time stabilize the emotions of officials at all levels in the province to ensure that all work can proceed normally."
"Secretary, officials across the province are in a panic now. Many people are worried that they will be implicated, especially those who have had work dealings with Ding Yizhen," said a Standing Committee member.
"We need to strengthen ideological education and let everyone trust the organization. As long as they are innocent, they have nothing to worry about. But we will never tolerate those who break the law and discipline," the provincial party committee leader said forcefully.
In the detention center, Ding Yizhen looked haggard, but his eyes showed a sense of relief. Facing the case officers who came to interrogate him, he slowly spoke: "I know I have committed an unforgivable crime, and now I don't want to hide anything anymore. I will tell you everything I know, hoping to get a lighter sentence."
The case officer looked at him sternly and said, "Ding Yizhen, this is your only correct choice. You must truthfully explain all the problems, including the officials you colluded with, the projects involved, and the flow of funds."
Ding Yizhen nodded slightly: "During my tenure in Guangming District, I colluded with many business owners and obtained huge profits through illegal project approval and land transfer.
For example, in an urban reconstruction project, I accepted bribes of tens of millions from a developer and gave him the green light, allowing him to obtain the project development rights without complying with regulations. Also, in some government procurement projects, I colluded with suppliers to raise prices and share the spoils..."
As Ding Yizhen confessed, shocking inside stories gradually surfaced.
Every detail was like a bombshell, causing even stronger shock in the officialdom.
Those officials who had had affairs with Ding Yizhen were now on pins and needles. Some tried to destroy evidence, some asked for information through connections, but more were waiting for an unknown trial in deep regret and fear.
The officialdom of the entire province is undergoing an unprecedented baptism and change under the impact of Ding Yizhen's arrest!
Municipal Party Committee.
In the meeting room of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed suffocating.
Qi Tongwei, the deputy mayor, stood upright at one end of the conference table, scanning every municipal party committee official present with a sharp gaze.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ding Yizhen incident was like a heavy hammer that woke us all up. Today, the chaos of official corruption has become a terminal disease in our system, deep into the bone marrow."
Qi Tongwei's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the silent conference room.
"According to the existing survey data, Guangming District's fiscal deficit is like a bottomless black hole, and the amount is staggering. Take the Dafeng plant project as an example. According to the previous plan, we simply cannot afford such a huge investment if we want to overturn and rebuild it."
After saying this, he paused and observed the expressions of the officials.
All the officials were pale, their eyes were evasive, and they didn't dare to look him in the eye.
They all knew clearly in their minds that the courage and strength Qi Tongwei showed in the arrest of Ding Yizhen had already given him the upper hand in the battle against corrupt forces. Every word he said was like a heavy weight, enough to influence the direction of many things.
Qi Tongwei continued, "So, I propose that the Dafeng Factory should not be demolished and rebuilt, but should be renovated. This is not only based on financial considerations, but also to give Guangming District and even the entire Jingzhou City a chance to reorganize and get back on track."
As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room fell into dead silence.
The officials looked at each other. Although they all had their own ideas, no one dared to speak out first to oppose.
They knew very well that singing against Qi Tongwei at this sensitive time would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
The mayor sat in a chair with a slightly complicated expression. He knew clearly the determination behind Qi Tongwei, and he also understood that the forces involved behind this matter were far more complicated than they seemed.
After a brief consideration, he thought to himself that it would be better for him not to get involved in the center of this storm so as not to get himself into trouble.
So, the mayor nodded slightly and broke the silence: "Deputy Mayor Qi's analysis is insightful. Under the current financial difficulties, the transformation of Dafeng Factory is indeed a more prudent approach. I agree with this plan."
Seeing the mayor's statement, other officials echoed him one after another, and a chorus of approval rang out in the conference room.
After the meeting, Qi Tongwei returned to his office, where Gao Gang had been waiting for a long time.
Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gao Gang, "Today's meeting went more smoothly than I expected. Those officials had something to hide and didn't dare to object."
Gao Gang smiled and responded: "Deputy Mayor Qi, you were very impressive at the meeting, and the proposal you put forward was indeed reasonable. How could they have the courage to refute it? However, I originally thought that it would take some effort, and I even planned to use the power of those old money to push things forward."
Qi Tongwei shook his head slightly: "Although it passed smoothly this time, I always think carefully and prepare for the worst. You also know that the mayor may have pressure from Secretary Zhao Lichun. If he doesn't agree today, then I can only find another way. Fortunately, we don't have to go to that step now, but since the old money has been contacted, we can't just leave it idle."
Qi Tongwei straightened his back, his eyes revealing a hint of shrewdness and decisiveness: "If things change, I plan to guide them to invest in other projects in Guangming District.
In this way, we can not only inject new vitality into the development of Guangming District, but also accumulate considerable political achievements for me.
Guangming District cannot be devastated by these corruption problems. I want to make it an important cornerstone for my rise in the officialdom, completely get rid of the haze of the past, and embark on a new path of prosperity and development. "
Gao Gang listened to Qi Tongwei's words and admired his foresight and decisiveness. "Deputy Mayor Qi, your step-by-step layout is really far-sighted. Once the Dafeng Factory renovation plan is launched, the subsequent investigation of Guangming District's finances and the standardization of project approval procedures will surely come naturally."
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly and looked out the window with a firm look in his eyes: "Yes, this is just my first step in rectifying the officialdom of Jingzhou and developing Guangming District. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I will not retreat in the slightest. I want everyone to see that I, Qi Tongwei, have the ability and determination to reshape the ecology of the officialdom of Jingzhou and give this city new vitality and vigor."
Chen Yanshi sat in the dim living room, holding a crumpled news report on the Dafeng Factory renovation. His face was filled with regret and pain, and his heart was like the sea that had been swept by a storm, unable to calm down for a long time.
"It's all my fault that I was blinded by greed. How could I be deceived by the sweet words of Zhao Lichun and Cai Chenggong?" Chen Yanshi's voice was trembling, and it was particularly clear in the silent room. The simple and trusting faces of the workers of Dafeng Factory kept appearing in his mind. They once regarded him as a beacon of hope, but now, because of his wrong decisions, that beacon seems to be shaky, and his prestige in the hearts of the workers is as fragile as a bubble, which may burst at any time.
He slowly raised his head and looked into the distance through the window, thinking about the series of earth-shaking changes that had taken place in the officialdom of Jingzhou recently. The Dafeng Factory incident was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves and making the relationship between various forces gradually clear. Under the iron-fisted leadership of Hou Liangping, the Procuratorate was ruthless against corruption and became a firm guardian of justice in this anti-corruption storm; the officialdom ecology of Guangming District began to reshape under the strong intervention of Qi Tongwei, and the cadres gathered around his decision-making and seemed to see a new direction of development; after weighing the pros and cons, the Municipal Party Committee gradually tended to support Qi Tongwei's drastic reform measures; and the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Luo Shanhe, was in command, which injected strong credibility into the entire anti-corruption campaign and indirectly indicated his approval of some of Qi Tongwei's practices.
"Qi Tongwei's influence in the officialdom is growing day by day. Although he cannot compete with Zhao Lichun, he has the confidence to challenge him." Chen Yanshi sighed in his heart. He had complicated feelings about Qi Tongwei's political methods and strategies. He once thought that there was a special friendship between them, but now, this friendship has become so vulnerable in the face of the real interests of the officialdom.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, breaking the depressing atmosphere in the room. Chen Yanshi picked up the phone and saw that it was Chen Yang calling. He took a deep breath and tried to adjust his mood.
"Dad, have you seen the news about Dafeng Factory? How could Qi Tongwei do this?" On the other end of the phone, Chen Yang's voice was filled with obvious anger.
Chen Yanshi's heart tightened, and he quickly asked: "Yangyang, what's wrong? Don't be anxious, talk slowly."
Chen Yang's tone was full of dissatisfaction: "Dad, we helped Qi Tongwei so much before, and our family has made great contributions to his success today. But now he completely ignores our kindness. I asked him for help, but he refused me and even asked you to turn yourself in. Dad, if you have the stain of turning yourself in, what will happen to Chen Hai and my future? How can we gain a foothold in the officialdom?"
Chen Yanshi felt a pang of pain when he heard his daughter's words. He knew that what Chen Yang said were all practical problems. The Chen family had been working in the officialdom for many years and had been carefully maintaining the family's reputation and status, but now, all of this was facing a huge crisis.
"Yangyang, Dad knows he was wrong. But what should we do now?" Chen Yanshi asked helplessly.
Chen Yang was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said firmly: "Dad, I think we must let Chen Hai come back. Although he is on a business trip now, this matter is related to the life and death of our Chen family. Chen Hai works in the procuratorate, and he has the ability and opportunity to influence some of the decisions of the procuratorate. Only by letting him come back and help Qi Tongwei control the procuratorate can our Chen family have a glimmer of hope in this turmoil in the officialdom and keep our family's foothold."
After listening to Chen Yang's words, Chen Yanshi nodded slowly: "Yangyang, you are right. At this point, this is the only way. I hope Chen Hai can understand our difficulties and be willing to come back to take on this responsibility."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yanshi seemed to have aged a lot. He leaned weakly on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes. He knew that the Chen family had reached the crossroads of fate, and the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers. They could only struggle to survive in this whirlpool of officialdom and try to find a glimmer of hope.
