A week later, Qiao Liang received news: Wei Houcheng, the director of the Municipal Taxation Bureau, was suspected of corruption and was taken away by people from the Anti-Corruption Bureau at his home last night.
Upon hearing the news, Qiao Liang's first reaction was that the matter was related to Da Beitou's operations at the Beijing State Administration of Taxation.
Then he started to wonder, didn't Big Beitou promise Xu Honggang to let Wei Houcheng leave Jiangzhou that day in Huangyuan? How did he get caught?
Qiao Liang went to ask Xu Honggang, and Xu Honggang wrote lightly: "The State Administration of Taxation has long received reports from the masses that when Wei Houcheng was the director of the State Taxation Bureau in Jiangzhou, he was suspected of extorting many companies and was not clean economically, so he handed over the clues
It was given to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, so Wei Houcheng went in."
From what Xu Honggang said, this matter had nothing to do with them or Big Beitou. It was purely Wei Houcheng's own fault.
Qiao Liang was dubious about Xu Honggang's words. How could it be such a coincidence? Just as they were about to tell Wei Houcheng to leave Jiangzhou, the Anti-Corruption Bureau over there started taking action.
Qiao Liang also smiled: "Believe it. Of course I believe what Minister Xu said."
Although he said this, Qiao Liang was still very suspicious, thinking that Xu Honggang should have ordered Da Beitou to operate this matter.
That day in Huangyuan, he asked Wei Houcheng to leave Jiangzhou to settle the matter. Xu Honggang thought that he was too kind and taught himself a lesson. With Xu Honggang's character, he would not take action lightly against those who had offended him.
As if he guessed what Qiao Liang was thinking, Xu Honggang said calmly: "People are doing it, and God is watching. Everything in this world has its consequences. Although we just want Wei Houcheng to leave Jiangzhou, he
He did it himself. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with us, and Wei Houcheng did it himself."
Xu Honggang's words intensified Qiao Liang's speculations. On the one hand, Qiao Liang felt relieved about Wei Houcheng's fate, but on the other hand, he felt horrified by Xu Honggang's actions.
Is it true that in an official struggle, one must not take action, but if one takes action, the other party will be killed?
Qiao Liang couldn't help but think of Chu Heng and Li Youwei. The conflict between Chu Heng and Li Youwei had not been made public, and they even seemed harmonious on the surface. However, in order to get the position of executive deputy minister, Chu Heng still did not hesitate to put it aside.
Li Youwei went in.
Thinking about it this way, Chu Heng was no less ruthless than Xu Honggang.
Perhaps, as Xu Honggang said that day, if a person wants to achieve great things in the officialdom, he must be ruthless in his actions. You want to let your opponent go, but once your opponent has a chance to breathe, he will not let you go.
Thinking like this, Qiao Liang couldn't help but nod. Regardless of whether Xu Honggang did this or not, Wei Houcheng deserved it.
Xu Honggang looked at the time and then stood up: "I'm going to hold a meeting of the Standing Committee. Today's Standing Committee will discuss the candidate for Songbei County Party Committee Secretary."
Qiao Liang's eyes lit up: "Minister Xu, do you think Miao Peilong's drama is big?"
Xu Honggang pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say now. Judging from Miao Peilong's recent performance, he should be good. But personnel matters, especially important positions such as county party secretary, have many people watching, and the situation can change at any time.
It’s not just ability that matters, external factors cannot be ignored.”
Listening to Xu Honggang's words, it seems that he does not have enough assurance and confidence in this matter.
Xu Honggang then added: "Of course, outstanding ability will be more convincing."
From Qiao Liang's heart, he really hopes that Miao Peilong can become the secretary of the Songbei County Party Committee. He feels that Miao Peilong is qualified for this position both in terms of ability and conduct. Especially after Ren Quan left office.
, he has performed well during his time as acting county party secretary, and has been praised by Jing Haoran and Wu Huiwen.
But this matter is not yours to say, the decision-making power rests with the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, especially in the hands of Jing Haoran.
Half an hour later, the Standing Committee convened on time.
Jing Haoran presided over the meeting, looked at everyone and said: "After Ren Quan left office, the position of Songbei County Party Committee Secretary has been vacant. From the perspective of county work, it is abnormal to have no county party secretary for a long time. This will have a negative impact on the stability of Songbei and the city."
There are also some inconveniences in the work here, and we will hold a meeting today to solve this problem."
Everyone looked at Jing Haoran, Xu Honggang glanced at Fengdanian again, and Fengdanian happened to be looking at him, their eyes met, and both of them smiled.
It's hard to tell what the meaning of this smile is.
Wu Huiwen looked at Xu Honggang and Feng Danian calmly, with a smile on his lips.
Jing Haoran continued: "If you have suitable candidates, please mention them."
No one said anything, as if they wanted to wait for others to mention it first.
Jing Haoran nodded to Wu Huiwen: "Mayor Huiwen, you come first."
Wu Huiwen nodded: "As the mayor, I naturally give priority to the top leaders of various government departments and county heads in my nominations. Recently, I conducted a screening of relevant people who agreed to the conditions, and I felt that the two most suitable people are Song Song.
Bei County Magistrate Miao Peilong and Sanjiang County Magistrate Yao Jian..."
Upon hearing Wu Huiwen's words, Xu Honggang and Feng Danian couldn't help but look at each other again and laughed in understanding.
Wu Huiwen understood their thoughts very well and took the initiative to raise it for them.
At the same time, I admire Wu Huiwen's ingenuity and coordination in doing things.
Obviously, Wu Huiwen was aware of their motives and did not want to see them get into subtle unhappiness over nominating their favorite people at the Standing Committee meeting.
For Wu Huiwen, maintaining the relationship between Fengdanian and Xu Honggang is more important than who is the county party secretary. She does not want to see the two standing committee members who are closely related to her create unnecessary barriers because of one county party secretary.
Wu Huiwen then stated the reasons for nominating Miao Peilong and Yao Jian. The reasons were very sufficient and powerful.
After Wu Huiwen finished speaking, no one expressed their opinions. They all knew in their hearts that Wu Huiwen proposed two candidates, and Jing Haoran had to make the final decision on who he wanted to do. Before Jing Haoran had a clear attitude, no one wanted to speak out their true thoughts rashly.
Moreover, it is still unknown whether the two people nominated by Wu Huiwen are in Jing Haoran's favour.
Jing Haoran then looked at Tang Shusen: "Minister Shusen, the Organization Department is responsible for inspecting and selecting cadres. Do you have any suitable candidates?"
Upon hearing Jing Haoran's words, everyone realized that Jing Haoran didn't seem to want to choose one of the two, but planned to choose one more.
Tang Shusen had already prepared: "I arranged for people to conduct a careful and detailed inspection of the candidate for Songbei County Party Committee Secretary. Based on the comprehensive situation of the current cadres in the city, the ministry finally proposed a candidate for your reference."
"Who is it? Tell me." Jing Haoran asked.
"Zhao Xiaolan, deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection," Tang Shusen said slowly.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and Lian Zheng showed a surprised expression.
Everyone knows that Zhao Xiaolan is Luo Fei's wife, and everyone knows Zhao Xiaolan's temper and character. This woman is arrogant and domineering in the Discipline Inspection Commission and is rigid and mean in her work. Why did Tang Shusen nominate her?
