After a long time of silence, Wei Houcheng finally couldn't help it anymore: "Minister Xu, I have something urgent to report to you..."
"I know what the urgent matter you are talking about is. Secretary Jing just called me. Today, the IRS has many reporters from domestic media. Your bureau has also received many calls from the media to interview you about investigating a company's tax evasion.
About?" Xu Honggang interrupted Wei Houcheng.
"Yes, yes." Wei Houcheng nodded hurriedly, sweating even more on his forehead. This matter so quickly alerted the municipal party committee secretary and became a big deal.
"Normally, it is normal for you to investigate corporate tax evasion. Why did you alert so many reporters? Do they want to promote you positively or expose you?" Xu Honggang said slowly.
"Exposed." Wei Houcheng blurted out, and then regretted it. Damn it, he accidentally exposed his background.
"How do you know it was exposed? Is it because you are guilty of committing crimes? Is it because you did not investigate and deal with it improperly?" Xu Honggang's words were very sharp.
"This... we, we..." Wei Houcheng stammered.
"You came to me because you can't handle the concentrated interviews of so many media reporters. You are worried that you won't be able to clean your butt after being exposed. Do you want the Propaganda Department to put out the fire for you?"
"Minister Xu, it's like this..." Wei Houcheng wanted to distinguish a few words.
Xu Honggang interrupted Wei Houcheng again: "Since you are afraid of being exposed, why do you still do this?"
"This, this..." Wei Houcheng looked embarrassed.
"Director Wei, please tell me what happened." Xu Hong just picked up the cup and took a sip of water. Jing Haoran said very generally on the phone. He needs to know the specific situation now.
"It's like this, Minister Xu, yesterday we received a letter from the people forwarded by the provincial bureau, reporting that Chint Group was suspected of tax evasion, and the amount was huge. Now the national tax system is carrying out a centralized tax inspection across the province, so we sealed up Chint Group
account and moved their financial computer host..."
When he heard that the Chint Group was being sealed, Xu Honggang's eyelids twitched, Ye Xinyi's body also trembled slightly, while Chu Heng remained calm.
Wei Houcheng continued: "I don't know how this matter got out. As soon as we got to work today, we received a lot of interview calls from domestic mainstream media, asking us if we were making things difficult for Chint Group for no reason. The phone calls in the office were almost overwhelming.
, and many reporters called my office...
Then, after noon, many reporters from domestic mainstream media rushed to Jiangzhou and arrived at the bureau. They insisted on interviewing me directly, and some went directly to Chint Group for interviews. When I saw that the matter was getting serious, I hurriedly came out of the back door of the unit.
Come directly to the ministry to report to you, I have to look to you to put out the propaganda fire."
Xu Honggang was very angry after hearing this. Obviously, the IRS was deliberately making things difficult for Chint Group, otherwise it would not be afraid of news media interviews.
Jing Haoran obviously realized this when he called himself.
For Jing Haoran, maintaining stability is the top priority during the short time he has left in charge of Jiangzhou. At such a time, if news that has a negative impact on Jiangzhou breaks out across the country, it will have a negative impact on Jing Haoran.
It is extremely important whether Haoran retires directly after leaving the post of Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary or steps up to the deputy provincial level.
So Jing Haoran was very angry when he found out about this. He called Xu Honggang directly and told him to handle the matter well. He must not let negative news about Jiangzhou break out across the country. He immediately took emergency measures to put out the fire and at the same time find out the source of the leak.
For the Propaganda Department, on the one hand, it is responsible for positive publicity internally and externally, and on the other hand, it is also responsible for extinguishing negative news.
Jing Haoran paid great attention to it and even got angry. Xu Honggang naturally did not dare to neglect him.
Xu Honggang thought quickly and looked at Wei Houcheng: "Director Wei, I think this is how to handle this matter. If
If you think you are doing things according to the rules, then don’t worry about media reporters and accept interviews honestly and openly. This will actually spread the good reputation of your IRS for being honest and strict, which will also be of great benefit to you, the director.
of……"
Wei Houcheng complained repeatedly in his heart, holy shit, this is shameful. The letters from the masses forwarded by the provincial bureau and tax evasion by Chint Group are all baseless excuses. There is no such thing. He was entrusted by Tang Chao to help.
.
Xu Honggang continued: "On the other hand, if you think that the contents of the letters and reports from the masses are untrue and that the evidence for investigating tax evasion and tax evasion by Chint Group is not strong enough, I think you should know what to do. There is a saying that is good, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is no way to make a difference. I
We can put out the fire for you and wipe your butt, but whether it can be wiped clean depends on how you do it."
Wei Houcheng nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Minister Xu, I know what to do."
"You can go."
Wei Houcheng stood up and said worriedly: "Well, Minister Xu, those reporters..."
"This is my job, you don't need to worry about it." Xu Honggang waved his hand in disgust.
Seeing Xu Honggang like this, Wei Houcheng didn't dare to speak and hurriedly led the people away.
After Wei Houcheng left, Xu Honggang snorted: "It's something that doesn't live up to expectations."
Hearing Xu Honggang scold Wei Houcheng, Qiao Liang felt happy. When things got to this point, no matter how stupid Wei Houcheng was, he would still know what to do when he returned home. He easily solved the Chint Group's troubles.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but secretly feel proud of her good idea, and thanked Ye Xinyi for providing him with the list.
Xu Honggang had a sullen face at this time. Although he was very angry with Wei Houcheng for making things difficult for Chint Group, he knew very well that he could not openly show any favoritism to Chint Group. He had to handle the matter in the name of work without any personal feelings.
Regarding Wei Houcheng, Xu Honggang was even more helpless. Not to mention that he couldn't take charge of him, even if he was in charge, there was nothing he could do. The State Administration of Taxation was a management unit, and people, property and property were all under the jurisdiction of the province. The city had no right to remove or punish Wei Houcheng.
Then Xu Honggang looked at everyone and said: "Wei Houcheng will go back and handle the IRS matter himself. The only thing left is that we have to put out the fire. Minister Ye, you immediately take people to see those reporters and arrange for them to eat and drink at the Jiangzhou Hotel."
, told them that this was a false rumor, that someone was spreading rumors to slander the positive image of Jiangzhou City, and then gave each of these reporters a big red envelope and reimbursed their round-trip transportation expenses."
Xu Honggang knew that Wei Houcheng was afraid of making things worse, so he would stop immediately.
Ye Xinyi nodded: "Where did this money come from?"
Xu Honggang simply said: "Of course it's the IRS. Are they asking us to pay for the trouble they caused?"
Ye Xinyi agreed.
Xu Honggang continued: "The next step is to find out who brought this incident out. Secretary Jing was very angry on the phone just now, saying that this was a serious incident that slandered Jiangzhou's image, and asked us to put out the fire urgently first, and investigate secondly.
Find out the source of the leak..."
Qiao Liang, who was secretly proud of himself, became nervous when he heard this. Damn it, Jing Haoran was alarmed, and things got serious!
Chu Heng frowned: "The direct parties involved in this matter are the IRS and Chint Group. Of course, the IRS will not do this. If nothing else, it should be Chint Group who brought it out."
This was what Xu Honggang didn't want to hear the most, but Chu Heng's words were not unreasonable. He pondered for a moment: "It's just that I'm curious, how could Chint Group know the contact information of so many media reporters? This doesn't seem to be normal."
Upon hearing Xu Honggang's words, Ye Xinyi immediately looked at Qiao Liang, thinking of yesterday afternoon when Qiao Liang asked her about the contact list, and suddenly realized what Qiao Liang wanted to do with this. Either he did it, or he gave the list to Fang Xiao
