Chapter 114: Early Stage of Handong Political Reshuffle
So, he quickly left, not wanting to get involved any more.
The so-called complexity of officialdom is vividly displayed here.
He was just a very insignificant person and could no longer be implicated in the words and deeds of these big people.
What's more, the reform storm is already coming.
And he was just standing in a position. He had received some so-called bonuses, so he should not do evil.
Also, now that the ability to make drastic changes is in Zhao Lichun's hands, he has to be even more submissive.
"Secretary, we have received new clues."
There was a hint of urgency in Wang Baolong's voice.
Zhao Lichun stood up and walked to Wang Baolong: "Speak."
"It's about..."
Wang Baolong lowered his voice and reported the contents of the new clue briefly.
"What, how could this happen?"
Zhao Lichun's expression became more solemn.
The clue Wang Baolong just mentioned directly pointed to a person he did not expect.
This man who has a very high reputation in Handong's political arena is named Liang Qunfeng.
Liang Qunfeng was once Zhao Lichun's indirect subordinate and also his aide during his political career.
Although he and Zhao Lichun have almost no intersection.
One is the provincial party secretary and the other is the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
The two people's work content is unrelated.
What's more, the factions have different positions, so there is nothing to talk about.
It's just that everyone expressed their own opinions in the meeting.
Turning around, they became acquaintances and smiled at each other.
As for the rest, there are no changes.
But now, Zhao Lichun really couldn't figure out why this happened to him.
During the reform process, the anti-corruption mode was actually launched. However, this can only be said to be on a small scale.
After all, we have to make the most of our ability to settle scores later.
Killing someone after using him can only mean that he is useful, not that he is useless.
When settling accounts, one should not be too hasty nor too slow.
You have to make use of all of this person's abilities before you can discard him.
But now, he has become a key figure in this anti-corruption storm.
"This is impossible..." There was a slight tremor in Zhao Lichun's voice.
Although he and Liang Qunfeng are not from the same faction.
But, they are not enemies either.
In a situation of mutual checks and balances, they also take advantage of each other.
I didn't expect that such a strange thing would happen now.
This was indeed something that caught him off guard and beyond expectation.
Zhao Lichun felt a little embarrassed if he really wanted to defeat Liang Qunfeng.
How could the people behind him let him off?
But at this time, Wang Baolong said firmly: "Secretary, we must face reality.
No matter who the other party is, we must not be soft-hearted.
Don't destroy the entire Handong atmosphere and stance because of a momentary soft-heartedness.
You have to understand that in this position,
None of them are soft-hearted.
I hope you can understand your situation and you must consider the entire Handong officialdom."
Zhao Lichun took a deep breath. He knew that this would be a difficult struggle.
But he also knew that he had to make a choice for the future of the country and the interests of the people.
"Okay, Xiao Wang, you are in charge of this case.
Remember, we must be fair and transparent and not allow anyone to take advantage of us.
More importantly, we should not let outsiders see that we are avenging our personal grudges.
We are enforcing the law impartially.
Rather than resorting to some so-called persuasive tactics,
It is very wrong to treat colleagues from other factions like this.”
"Okay, Secretary, I will listen to your instructions.
You must understand that I must be careful about what I do.
But I hope that you, old man, can achieve a certain position.
Remember, do not be merciful with a woman's kindness.
If that happens, it will be very bad for us.”
After Wang Baolong finished speaking, he turned and left.
Zhao Lichun sat back in his chair and looked through the window at the distant sky.
He knew that the struggle had just begun.
At this moment, the atmosphere in his office was extremely heavy.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
He recalled the days when he worked with Liang Qunfeng.
Those times of working together, those late nights discussing policy.
Now, it all seems to need to be re-examined.
It wasn't until now that Zhao Lichun understood.
What you have to face may be a bit of separation from your family.
Yes, at this point, it is indeed relatively difficult to deal with.
It should be something that can be handled.
But now, it has not met his expectations at all.
Then all of this will inevitably result in the choice of cutting off the left arm.
Whether the policy allows or not is not something he can decide alone.
At present, we can only leave it to fate.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lichun stood up, walked to the window, and stared out at the lights that were just coming on.
He knew that this fight was not just political.
It is more related to everyone's beliefs and moral bottom line.
When he reaches his position, money, women, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are no longer important.
The so-called policy orientation and the country and the people are what he wants most at the moment.
Whether to choose to go down in history or to go further is all in his hands.
He felt that it was all of this.
It shouldn't stop there, nor should it be that simple.
He needs to stand in a relatively high position and give full play to his potential.
At this moment, the phone on Zhao Lichun's desk rang. It was an anonymous text message: "The truth is often hidden in the most inconspicuous places. Don't be confused by superficial phenomena."
Zhao Lichun frowned. This text message was like a wake-up call, reminding him that this struggle was far more complicated than he had imagined.
He understood that this struggle might involve several major factions, as well as people from various forces, all trying to divide up this interest group.
For now, we're just going to take it one step at a time.
Or next, take two steps and look three steps ahead, there will definitely be a result.
Instead of creating something messy unless necessary.
So, after some people are purged and another group is promoted, which group will benefit? Zhao Lichun still doesn't understand.
Although he is the top leader, the people below seem to have blinded him.
He himself couldn't figure out what was going on.
Zhao Lisheng felt terrified.
He was thinking, currently in the Provincial Party Committee’s Discipline Inspection Commission.
He only has one close confidant, and that is Wang Baolong.
Other provincial disciplinary inspection commission secretaries and provincial party committee leading cadres below them.
It seems that my relationship with him is not very good.
