Chapter 497 Learning the truth

A day later, Song Yuhang and others joined two other investigators, He Jun and Bai Zetao, and started an investigation into the arbitrary charges and fines in Liuhe County.

On the other hand, although the issue of Liuhe County being fined 10 yuan is still being discussed on the Internet, in Yang Wangang's opinion, these people's discussions are meaningless.

All he cared about was Qi Tongwei's opinion. He felt that Qi Tongwei had believed his explanation and that the crisis caused by this wave of public opinion had passed.

Yang Wangang believed that since Qi Tongwei would no longer investigate the matter, it was time for him to deal with the relevant personnel.

Following his instructions, Li Xiaoning, the head of the Propaganda Department, called in Bai Haijun, the editor-in-chief of the Jinghai Daily, and scolded him. Then he said, "I don't care what you think. Xiao Meihong must not stay and must be fired."

"Minister Li, Xiao Meihong is a general of the newspaper. A lot of news has to be reviewed by her, and many people are brought up by her. If she is fired, I am worried that the newspaper will be completely paralyzed." Editor-in-Chief Bai Haijun said in embarrassment.

"Bai Haijun, let me tell you, this world will keep going without anyone. If you don't want to fire Xiao Meihong, I will fire you." Li Xiaoning said firmly.

For him, even if Jinghai Daily collapsed tomorrow, he must complete the instructions of Secretary Yang Wangang.

Bai Haijun looked at Li Xiaoning and finally had no choice but to agree. He had no choice but to follow Li Xiaoning's instructions.

"Editor Xiao, I really don't want to fire you. I also know very well that once Jinghai Daily leaves you, its business will probably decline rapidly." Bai Haijun said with some shame.

"Editor-in-chief, I don't accept it. Why do you want to fire me? What's the reason?" Xiao Meihong asked angrily. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disappointment and unwillingness.

Facing Xiao Meihong's questioning, Chief Editor Bai Haijun could only shake his head helplessly and sighed: "Editor Xiao, to be honest, I really don't want to fire you.

But Minister Li Xiaoning explicitly asked me to fire you. You also know that our Jinghai Daily is only a city-owned newspaper, so I have to obey his orders. "Although he was full of regret, Bai Haijun knew that he could not disobey Li Xiaoning's orders.

Before Xiao Meihong could speak, Bai Haijun whispered, "Editor Xiao, to be honest, it's not just Minister Li Xiaoning who wants to expel you. I'm afraid the municipal party committee leaders also want to do so.

Besides, I also know that several media outlets in the province have been trying to recruit you, and you might achieve greater success if you leave Jinghai Daily."

"I……"

"Editor Xiao, what I am more worried about now is that being fired from the newspaper will affect your next career choice.

I will try to delay it for a few days. You should find another job as soon as possible and then hand in your resignation to me.

I think they want you to leave Jinghai Daily, and they don't care whether you leave or are fired. Also, if you take Liu Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao with you when you leave, they might be retaliated against if they stay in the newspaper." Bai Haijun suggested in a low voice.

Xiao Meihong looked at Bai Haijun and knew that this was indeed not his intention, so she could only accept his suggestion. She then told Liu Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao about the situation.

Liu Xiaoxiao thought that she was the one who harmed Xiao Meihong and was very angry. She immediately called the number Song Yuhang left that day and told him the truth.

"Ms. Liu, don't worry. We will investigate this thoroughly." Song Yuhang said while suppressing his excitement. As the person in charge of the case, the bigger the case, the happier he was.

Liuhe County held a meeting that day, and after the meeting, each director notified the employees of each unit. So many people knew about it that there was no way to hide it from the investigators.

They knew the basic situation in less than one morning. Executive Deputy County Mayor Bao Wei held a meeting and conveyed the requirements of County Party Secretary Cao Yu and County Mayor Tan Yifan, clearly requiring relevant units to increase penalties, mainly through fines.

However, there were no video footage or minutes of the meeting, so they still needed to further verify it.

"Team Leader Song, I have a classmate in Liuhe County. He works in the county party committee office. Can we look for him?" Liu Fei said.

"Working in the County Party Committee Office? Those who can work in the County Party Committee Office are not ordinary people. I'm worried that your classmate's family will be implicated, which will expose us." Song Yuhang shook his head and rejected Liu Fei's suggestion.

Liu Fei smiled and said, "Team Leader Song, you really guessed wrong this time.

My classmate is a son of a farming family. In his words, he is the first college student in his family and the only one who eats government food.

There is a story behind how he was able to work in the county party committee. "

Afterwards, Liu Fei explained the specific situation.

His classmate was called An Bo, and they were college classmates. After graduation, he was successfully admitted to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection because of his family connections. An Bo had better grades, and in order to take care of his elderly parents, he applied for the Liuhe County Party Committee Office.

What he didn't know was that this position was a special position.

The requirements for the position at that time were that one must be a party member, have a bachelor's degree, be a native of Jinghai, be under 25 years old, and be male...The reason there were so many requirements was that the position was specially set up for the son of the deputy mayor of Jinghai.

In order to meet the requirements for the exam, he specially found a few cannon fodders, made all the preparations, and even found the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to tighten the review requirements so that no one else could apply for the position.

An Bo was able to pass the review because he had the same name as one of the other party's cannon fodders. As a result, his written test score exceeded the second place by more than 60 points. In addition, Qi Tongwei required all examiners to participate in the interview from different locations, so An Bo was able to smoothly enter the physical examination and other stages.

Even so, during the qualification review, the other party made things difficult for him many times, but because An Bo had a clean background and excellent grades, they had no choice but to let him take up the job.

After taking office, he snatched the position of the deputy mayor's son, which disappointed some people who wanted to curry favor with him, and they suppressed him severely.

After hearing this, Song Yuhang was certain that An Bo could be trusted 100%.

"Liu Fei, contact your classmate now, but don't tell him about the situation yet." Seeing Liu Fei's confusion, Song Yuhang explained: "It's not that I don't trust him, but I'm worried that he will be exposed."

Liu Fei nodded to show that he understood, and then called An Bo, saying that he and his friends came to Jinghai to play, and knowing that he worked in Liuhe County, he came to see him specially. He had already booked a hotel and asked him to come directly after get off work.

An Bo had no doubts and went to the place he had agreed to meet with Liu Fei as soon as he got off work.

After the meeting, Liu Fei immediately told him his true purpose, hoping that he could cooperate.

An Bo had been working for less than two years, but he was still full of passion. In addition, he was also resentful of the suppression from other colleagues and leaders. Moreover, he was a native of Liuhe, so he immediately expressed his full cooperation with the investigators from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"Team Leader Song, the real situation is that because the higher-ups are rectifying the real estate economy, the leadership of Liuhe County is not trying to revitalize the economy, and Governor Li has also required that the economic data of various places should not decline too much, so they came up with the idea of ​​falsifying data."

Then, An Bo explained the reasons for the data falsification in Liuhe County and the reasons why various units have recently imposed heavy fines.

Hearing this, Song Yuhang and others were all very angry. In order to make the data look good, they actually turned their knives on the common people and exploited them.
