Secretary Qiu looked at the armed police soldiers on duty, and he sighed and said to me: "Secretary Chen's courage is really impressive. He was able to do such a big thing without leaking, and the pattern of Shangjiang City was completely transformed overnight.
Change is difficult to achieve without extraordinary abilities and means."
In fact, I didn’t know this person well, so I didn’t know what he meant by his words. So I just echoed him and said, “Yes. But some of the customs in our Shangjiang City should indeed be improved.
Let's straighten things out. Cadres opened restaurants and small coal mines. People have long been angry and dare not speak out about these things. This action is very important to the future of our Shangjiang City. I believe that from now on
After that, some of the atmosphere here will be greatly changed. It has been nearly half a year since Secretary Chen took office here? Why hasn’t the reform been moved? Isn’t it because our officials only care about themselves and have huge ideological differences?
Problem? Moreover, corruption is prevalent among officials, which will definitely hinder the progress of reform. Secretary Chen has no choice but to do this, otherwise the people will not support our next reform."
He nodded and said: "That's the truth. However, I think the matter of officials doing business themselves should be looked at in two parts. It is true that many cadres in our Shangjiang City, and even relatives of leading cadres, are doing business, but
This also needs to be treated differently. After all, our wages are too low. Leading cadres are also human beings. They also have to support their families and give their children the best education. If they do not use their power to make money, this will
It should be possible, right?”
I nodded and said, "Of course. Our operation in Shangjiang City does not involve this aspect this time, right?"
He also nodded, "That's true. But what I'm most worried about now is that this operation will expand. Mayor Feng, you seem to have a good relationship with Secretary Chen, right? You have to remind him of some things at any time. Anything
It’s bad if things are taken too far.”
I didn't expect that he would say such things to me, and he would do so without any taboos. This violated the rules of the officialdom. I hurriedly asked him: "Secretary Qiu, do you think this action has any consequences?"
What has gone too far?"
He hesitated for a moment before saying: "Today, there is a person on the list of Shuanggui announced by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. He is a truly upright official. This person's wife has been sick in bed for many years, and he relies on his salary to support the family, and he also goes to school.
There are elders and younger ones. If we double-check him just because he is Jiang Shanan's cousin, such a thing will make people gossip."
I was suddenly stunned, "No way? Haven't the comrades of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection investigated everyone who was preparing to implement Shuanggui? How could such a decision be made if there were no problems? Also, this time the Forestry Director's
You know the thing, isn't he so low-key? If nothing like that happened, who would know that he is actually a corrupt official? Besides, I am not a local after all, and I have not been in Shangjiang City for a long time.
I don’t know the situation of many comrades below. Since Secretary Qiu feels that there are people on the list of people who have been shuanggui this time, and their problems are not that serious, why didn’t you tell them about it just now? Besides, shuanggui means that the parties are required to do it within a specified time.
If you explain your problems to the prescribed place, if this person really has no problems, then he can make it clear, right?"
He smiled bitterly and said: "Mayor Feng, maybe I shouldn't tell you such things... This action was planned by Secretary Chen a long time ago. This time, Shuanggui personnel confirmed that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was in charge.
I have asked for his opinion before. I also fully support this action. As you said, we in Shangjiang City really need to rectify the atmosphere. But under such circumstances, how could I because of a certain person?
To raise objections on the issue? In that case, Secretary Chen will think that I am opposed to this action. After all, I am a local and have some relationship with some of the people involved in this case, so I am even more scrupulous. I said
This person is very different from the forestry director. Think about it, which corrupt official would send his children to the worst school in the city because he cannot afford the sponsorship fee? And which corrupt official would send his children to the worst school in the city because he has no money?
Why doesn't his sick father go to the hospital? Both the cadres and the masses know these things. To be honest, if Jiang Shanan hadn't occasionally supported him in these years, I don't know how he could have survived. Besides, there is no problem at all now
Are there still officials? Maybe this person really had to reach out for corruption several times because his family was too difficult. So I think it is better to treat him differently. If a person like this is dealt with or even sentenced, his
The whole family will be ruined. I am the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. Although I often say that those who break the law must be prosecuted and those who break the law must be punished, the law and human relations should also be considered appropriately. Do you think this is the case? "
I think what he said is very reasonable, but I am also very embarrassed, "Secretary Qiu, it is not appropriate for me to talk about such things at this juncture. Now both you and I can only fully support
That’s Secretary Chen’s job.”
He nodded, "I understand. But reminding him kindly is also a disguised support for his work. Don't you think so?"
I pondered for a moment and then asked him: "Who is this person you are talking about?"
He took a long breath, and then said slowly: "Jiang Kui, deputy director of the Municipal Personnel Bureau."
To be honest, I had no impression of this person at all, but I still nodded and said: "It depends on the situation. After all, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has implemented Shuanggui against him tonight, and the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee just passed the matter. Waiting for him
Let’s talk about it after we investigate the issue clearly.”
He nodded, "This is the only way. Mayor Feng, what we are doing now is a high-risk profession. The salary is low, and the power in our hands is not supervised. Whether we are honest or not depends entirely on our own party spirit and conscience. If we have
People who are capable can use their connections to do some business that has nothing to do with their power. What about those who are incompetent? What should they do? Either they will reach out to places they shouldn't, or they will have no choice but to choose poverty.
Now I can put my words here. Jiang Kui may have some problems, but his problems will never be too big. And even if he has problems, he did it because he had no other choice."
I suddenly felt depressed and uncomfortable, because I realized something: the person in front of me could not talk about this matter in front of me for no reason, and under the current situation, he told me this matter.
, the most likely reason is that he really sympathizes with this person.
But now I can't do anything about it, because I also have to take the overall situation into consideration.
I sighed and said, "It depends on the situation. We will wait until the situation is investigated clearly."
When I said it, I suddenly remembered that I had said this sentence just now. This already showed the helplessness in my heart.
He said: "Yes. Wait. Mayor Feng, you are an upright person, and you are the best to speak in this position. You are not a local, and you are not related to the people here, so you have to speak
Be tough. Alas! There are fewer and fewer good cadres nowadays, so don’t let other good cadres feel discouraged."
I suddenly remembered the topic he just mentioned, and then asked him: "Secretary Qiu, do you think you are a good cadre?"
He was startled, and then laughed, "Anyway, I have a clear conscience in everything I do, but I am not short of money. My daughter has just returned from studying abroad at her own expense, and now works in Shanghai, and I still buy things for her there.
After I retire in a few years, I will live with my daughter. But I can tell anyone at any time: every penny I earn is legal. Mayor Feng, I am more or less in your situation.
I know a little bit, you are actually very good at making money, and like me, you never rely on your own power to make money. Is that right?"
I nodded, "This is also my consistent principle."
He said: "I have a coal mine in Gaolou City. I bought it many years ago, and I spent very little money at that time. A few years ago, I suddenly discovered that there were several new coal seams in my coal mine. The price of coal has increased in recent years, and I
I’ve made a lot of money. It’s a legal coal mine.”
I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Secretary Qiu, I really have you. But you are right, you are the one who has the solution, and the majority of people have no solution."
He sighed: "Yes. This is actually the reason why I dare to speak. Because I have nothing wrong with me. But in the current situation, I am still very scrupulous. After all, the reform of Shangjiang City is the overall situation. Secretary Chen also caught it
The overall situation, but our subordinates should think of the details for them, because sometimes the details will in turn affect the overall situation."
I nodded and said, "Secretary Qiu, what you said makes sense."
At this moment, I felt respect and respect for him from the bottom of my heart. In a place like Shangjiang City, it is not easy to be like him. (To be continued)
