Chapter 241 Mayor Xie Zhonglin's Plan
Gao Tiande and others never thought that this was a trap set by Qi Tongwei. They were still discussing how to pay this huge amount of money to deal with the current investigation.
Some people are even discussing how to make the money back.
Obviously they were wrong from the beginning. They didn't realize that Qi Tongwei's original goal was corruption, not to resolve the petitions of private teachers.
Moreover, the petition was initiated by Qi Tongwei in order to punish corrupt elements.
When Gao Tiande and others gathered together to discuss how to invest, they were seen by the surveillance personnel and photographed.
"Secretary Qi, should we arrest him now?" Li Youcong asked in a low voice.
"Not yet, the evidence is not sufficient, we must bring the case to justice and win a verdict.
Now that the corrupt personnel have been identified, the subsequent investigation will be easy.
Let's see how they plan to perform and whether there are other corrupt elements behind them. "Qi Tongwei thought about it and rejected Li Youcong's proposal.
"Old Lin, have you found Zhang Qiang?" Qi Tongwei suddenly thought of Mao Feng's alias Zhang Qiang.
He felt that Mao Feng was the core figure in the conspiracy. A lot of money had passed through his hands. If he could capture this person, he might gain other things.
To capture Maofeng, it is crucial to find Zhang Qiang.
“I was just about to tell you about this, Zhang Qiang has been found.
He now specifically induces wealthy people from the mainland to go to Macau to gamble, and he makes profits from it.
Before our people found him, they had introduced 21 people to gamble in Macau, and nine of them had parents who were leading cadres. "Lin Jianguo reported in a low voice.
Hearing this, Li Youcong frowned and asked in confusion: "Is there such a thing?" As the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, he had never heard of such a thing.
Lin Jianguo nodded and said affirmatively, "That's true. Zhang Qiang thought we were looking for him because of this matter, so he told us everything."
Qi Tongwei, who was standing by, also heard this for the first time and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Sometimes some people at the bottom may hear certain rumors, but the top leaders may not know about them, and Qi Tongwei is in such a situation.
Li Youcong continued to ask: "Have you brought the person back? Is there anyone from Green Ivy on the gambling list?"
Lin Jianguo replied: "There are 14 people from our Green Vine, and the parents of three of them are leading cadres, namely the sons of the mayor of Shiwan Town, the director of the Shimen District Finance Bureau, and the deputy director of the Shimen District Transportation Bureau."
Qi Tongwei knew that there must be corruption involved, so he ordered, "Old Lin, send someone to check the parents of these three people."
Lin Jianguo nodded and agreed.
Qi Tongwei continued to instruct: “The remaining six children of leading cadres should hand over the situation to the relevant units.
After Zhang Qiang came back, he immediately took Li Li to identify the villa. Remember to bring Li Li's ID card. With multiple pieces of evidence, they can identify that the villa is Maofeng.
Once the evidence is secured, Mao Feng will be arrested immediately and interrogated.”
Lin Jianguo and Li Youcong quickly agreed. They were full of admiration for Qi Tongwei. With just a small trick, he was able to find out the corrupt elements in the education system.
Once the list was finalized, the subsequent investigation became much easier.
While Qi Tongwei was discussing the case with Lin Jianguo and Li Youcong, Mayor Xie Zhonglin was also discussing the petition of private teachers with Executive Vice Mayor Wu Shuangling.
Xie Zhonglin asked pointedly, "Comrade Shuangling, do you know about the collective petition by private teachers?"
Wu Shuangling didn't understand what Xie Zhonglin meant. This matter had spread throughout Luteng City and almost everyone knew about it. Xie Zhonglin asked what this meant.
He nodded to show that he understood.
“Such a big thing was only mentioned once at the Standing Committee meeting, and then there was no follow-up.
We, the Standing Committee members, are completely unaware of the investigation results and progress. Does this mean that we are not trusted?" Xie Zhonglin said to himself.
Wu Shuangling did not respond. He knew that Xie Zhonglin must have something else to say, so he pretended to listen.
“Let’s not talk about that. The Finance Bureau and the Public Security Bureau are both government departments.
I, the mayor in charge of the Finance Bureau, cannot actually manage the Finance Bureau. Since I became the mayor, Gao Yanjun seldom takes the initiative to report to me on his work.
The same goes for the Public Security Bureau. Our deputy mayor in charge of political and legal affairs has no control over any of the orders.
I want to change all this, and I have to make some changes to the personnel work." After Xie Zhonglin finished speaking, he looked at Wu Shuangling, waiting for his opinion.
"Mayor, personnel work is the responsibility of the municipal party secretary. He is the top leader. Will our proposal be successful?" Wu Shuangling asked Xie Zhonglin with some doubt.
Xie Zhonglin smiled and did not directly answer Wu Shuangling's question, but answered irrelevantly: "Our Luteng Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary has been vacant for a long time. I want you to propose that Guo Wenjian be the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.
The positions of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director of the Public Security Bureau have become vacant. I propose that you take over as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Comrade He Yun take over as Director of the Public Security Bureau.
In addition, Comrade Gao Yanjun, Director of the Finance Bureau, will serve as Vice Chairman of the Municipal CPPCC, and Comrade Dong Yao will be transferred to serve as Director of the Finance Bureau. "
Wu Shuangling looked at Xie Zhonglin, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but more of confusion. Where did Xie Zhonglin get the confidence to achieve so many goals?
He couldn't help but ask: "I can propose it, but can it be done?"
Xie Zhonglin smiled confidently, patted Wu Shuangling on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, we have support from the provincial party committee. Besides, our demands are reasonable. Why would he disagree?"
Although Wu Shuangling still had some doubts in his heart, seeing Xie Zhonglin's firm attitude, he finally nodded in agreement.
He knew that Xie Zhonglin had the support of Executive Vice Governor Wang Zheng, who was very familiar with the city's situation and might be able to successfully push forward this personnel change.
In fact, the real mastermind behind all this is Gao Mingyuan, whose purpose is to push He Yun and Dong Yao to the top.
After more than a year of work, Guo Wenjian has basically taken control of the Public Security Bureau by adjusting its personnel and has also gained the trust of some people. On the contrary, He Yun's presence is gradually decreasing.
Gao Mingyuan's layout in Luteng City cannot be separated from the support of the public security, so he is determined not to allow He Yun to be marginalized, which led to this personnel change.
For this purpose, he found Wang Zheng and Xie Zhonglin, with the aim of obtaining the desired result through this confrontation.
It's just that they underestimated Qi Tongwei, thinking that he was just a leader who simply understood the business and might not have great political skills.
In his previous life, Qi Tongwei's political skills were indeed average due to his lack of knowledge and other reasons.
But after his rebirth, with Pei Yihong's guidance and constant reflection on his behavior in his previous life, although he dare not match Pei Yihong and other old foxes in politics, he is almost catching up with Gao Yuliang.
Qi Tongwei didn't know what Xie Zhonglin and others were planning. In his eyes, Xie Zhonglin was quite obedient and had always been acting according to his own urban planning and economic planning.
However, even if he knew, he might not be worried.
