Chapter 480: Difficulty in the Officialdom
Qi Tongwei's report attracted the attention of the leaders, who immediately instructed the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to set up a special task force to investigate Liu Ge.
With Qi Tongwei's efforts, Dudu joined the task force as deputy team leader.
Because of Liu Ge's suicidal behavior, his ex-wife Cai Lan personally came forward to testify against him. A lot of evidence could be used directly, so it didn't take much effort to find out Liu Ge's problems.
Liu Ge’s main problem was that he made loans in violation of regulations and demanded bribes of nearly 200 million yuan.
The task force's mission is to obtain clues about the illegal and criminal activities of Hengda and the protector behind Liu Ge through Liu Ge. Liu Ge is also aware of his situation and hopes that the protector behind the scenes can help him, so he doesn't say a word.
"Liu Ge, you should be aware of your situation. The only chance to save you is to take the initiative to explain the problem." Li Chengyang said seriously.
That’s right, this Li Chengyang is none other than Qi Tongwei’s former capable subordinate. He has now been promoted to the position of deputy director of the First Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and enjoys the treatment of a full-time department head.
With his and Degree's participation, Qi Tongwei believed that he could control the handling of this case as a whole.
Facing Li Chengyang's questioning, Liu Ge closed his eyes and remained silent.
Up to this moment, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, naively believing that the powerful backers behind him could rescue him.
Dudu interrupted and said, "You know what you have done. So far, we have verified that you have accepted bribes of 200 million yuan.
I think you should also be aware of the scale of turning around a case of corruption of 200 million yuan. If nothing unexpected happens, you will have to spend the rest of your life in prison. What you can fight for now is the treatment after the sentence.
If you don't cooperate well, I will suggest to the special investigation team not to prosecute you for corruption and bribery. Instead, we should impose party discipline and government sanctions on you for your chaotic private life, expel you from the party, and remove you from your post.
We will investigate you again after this treatment takes effect. At that time, you will just be an ordinary cadre who violated discipline. Generally, people in this situation will need to be detained with ordinary prisoners.
Do you want four meals a day, a life better than the average person in Qincheng except for freedom, or do you want to eat boiled cabbage and have a dozen people in a cell?"
"This..." Liu Ge looked at Du and Li Chengyang with an embarrassed look on his face. After thinking for a while, he still didn't say anything. It seemed that he still hadn't given up on the umbrella behind the scenes, and in the end, he said nothing.
But Dudu and Li Chengyang also saw Liu Ge's weakness. What they had to do next was to completely eliminate Liu Ge's fluke mentality and make him speak.
As a core member of this interest chain, Liu Ge's words meant that the mystery would soon be solved.
On the other hand, after Qi Tongwei returned to Handong, he immediately instructed Lu Shuyue, Li Dakang and other relevant personnel to further strengthen the investigation and crackdown on the banking and real estate sectors.
The purpose of cracking down on banks is very simple, which is to force them to return to their original duties, serving individuals and businesses, and especially supporting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Today's banks lend all of their limited funds to real estate companies, seriously squeezing the development of the technology industry.
That night, after get off work, Qi Tongwei put on some simple makeup and decided to take Pei Qianqian to the night market to take a look at the public security and economic situation in Jingzhou City.
Through the crackdown on gangs and evil forces during this period, Handong's social security environment has greatly improved, especially in Jingzhou, Handong's provincial capital, where the social security environment is beyond reproach.
Qi Tongwei took a walk around and didn't encounter any bullies, and the night market was very prosperous and lively.
Since he started working, Qi Tongwei rarely has the opportunity to sit at the night market, and has even less time to spend with his wife and family.
He and Pei Qianqian drank beer and ate barbecue, enjoying the fun of ordinary people.
At this moment, a group of young people at the next table attracted his attention.
"Wei Hua, do you want to take the civil service exam as well?" a tall and thin man asked after taking a sip of beer.
"No, I won't go. These three months of internship in the government have made me realize that you must have a background and connections to pursue a career in politics. Otherwise, you will most likely be just a small clerk your entire life. If you are lucky enough to become a full-time official, it will be a great honor for your ancestors." The man named Wei Hua curled his lips.
"No way, with the quality of our school, it shouldn't be a problem to get into a county regiment level, right?" said another slightly fatter man.
"Also at the county and regiment level?" Wei Huale almost laughed out loud. If he hadn't had this internship experience, he would probably have the same opinion as his classmates.
Wei Hua continued, "If it was a dozen or twenty years ago, with the quality of our school, as long as we worked hard and were lucky, it would not be impossible to get a county regiment level position, but it is not possible now.
It can be said that class stratification has already taken shape. In the future, the best career path for children from ordinary families is as a clerk, and it will be harder than climbing to the sky to get promoted.
There is a senior from our school in my internship unit. He was a cadre of the school student union back then. He passed the civil service exam right after graduation. After eight years of hard work, he is still a junior clerk. Now he has completely laid down. "
"No way, is it because senior brother is not capable enough or his EQ is too low that he is not suitable for the officialdom?" The thin and tall Zhi thought it was his senior brother's problem.
"That senior brother has the strongest business ability in the entire unit and has a very high emotional intelligence. He can be said to be the backbone of the unit's backbone. He often receives advanced awards, but he is never promoted." Wei Hua explained.
"This...how could this happen? I still want to take the civil service exam!" the tall and thin Gao Zhi exclaimed in surprise.
“Of course you can take the civil service exam. Even if you don’t become an official, it’s not bad. The pay is good and most importantly, it’s stable. Especially when working in a county, the cost-effectiveness of civil servants is still very high.” said a girl whose parents are both civil servants.
"It's boring if I can't be an official." Pang Shuai, the fatter boy from before, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Children from ordinary families like us can just think about it and never have any illusions. Our senior brother told me that there are three conditions required to make progress.
First, your personal qualities must be strong, that is, you must have the ability to be an official. If you know nothing, there will be no benefit even if you get promoted.
The second is to have someone with expertise to guide you at critical moments. This means that you need to understand the unspoken rules in officialdom, and have someone to guide you when you need to intervene so that you know how to exert your strength.
The third is the most important point, and also the one that must be possessed, that is, there must be an adult behind you, that is, there must be a background and a backing. If there is no backing, the first two items are just decoration.
Of course, I would like to add two points: being rich and good-looking is another matter.
If you are willing to give money, you have the opportunity to become an official. Although you cannot become a high-ranking official, you still have a chance to become a leader at the department or bureau level.
Appearance is also a resource, and this is not limited to girls, boys are the same, some female leaders are also very lustful, if you serve the leaders well, it is not a problem to be a small leader. "Wei Hua's words directly shattered the three views of all the students.
Qi Tongwei, who was standing next to him, also felt uncomfortable. He basically believed what this classmate said.
At the same time, he made up his mind that after the rectification of banks and real estate was completed, the next step would be to rectify the official atmosphere.
