Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 721 The Struggle in Old Age

"With this worry, I'm afraid few people have the energy to work, let alone develop, because no one knows whether they'll be taken away by the investigation team as soon as they step down from the stage while holding a meeting."

He Anxia smiled slightly and glanced at Zuo Ming.

Zuo Ming, who received the signal, immediately took over the conversation: "Secretary Lin, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by the sword of Damocles hanging over your head?

If they were clean, how could this sword fall on their heads? I think they are guilty as thieves. If you ask me, investigating Qiao Shan alone is not enough.

Our Discipline Inspection Commission should also send an investigation team to conduct a thorough investigation of Haikou to see if the suicide was caused by corruption.

If anyone is guilty or dishonest, we will investigate them as well."

"Clean? Comrade Zuo Ming, what is the standard for cleanliness you're talking about? What does it take to be clean?" Lin Gangjian asked in return, "Comrade Anxia said before that comrades should be given the opportunity to reform themselves. So, may I ask, are these comrades who have reformed themselves considered clean?

If they don't count, should they continue to stay in their posts? If they do count, doesn't that negate the important principle of punishing past mistakes to prevent future ones and curing illnesses to save lives?

Zuo Ming opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer the question for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Secretary Lin was trying to change the concept, but the other party had actually put this concept in, leaving him speechless and unable to refute.

After defeating Zuo Ming, Lin Gangjian continued to consolidate his victory.

"Clean and tidy, it's easy to say, but it's really hard to do.

If it were easy, no one would have come up with the rectification policy of punishing past mistakes, preventing future ones, and curing illnesses to save people in the early days of our party.

Take Comrade Anxia for example, since he started to build a clean government, in just less than a month, how many comrades have reported their problems to the Municipal Party Committee?

I've heard of probably twenty or thirty of them.

On this point, I very much agree with Comrade Anxia's approach.

When dealing with comrades who made mistakes, we did not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, but instead gave them a very gentle circle. This not only saved the country and the people from losses, but also kept the situation in the city stable. It also made the comrades convinced and free of resentment.

That's good. After all, we're all comrades, not class enemies. We should raise our hands when necessary."

After a pause, he continued, "Let's get back to the point. The twenty or thirty people I mentioned are only department-level cadres. If we convert them to the section-level and group-level cadres below, how many do you think there are?"

Of course, these people definitely don’t have many big problems, but they definitely have a lot of small problems.

After all, the level is there. The higher-ranking officials are more corrupt, and the lower-ranking officials are less corrupt. Do you think they are clean?

We can't just withdraw them all, right? If we do, who will take charge? It will only lead to chaos.

Therefore, I think that when dealing with the issue of corruption, we must do it in a subtle way, changing people's mindsets, rather than launching an anti-corruption storm.

It would be best to continue Comrade Anxia's style and also draw a circle for the comrades below so that the city can continue to maintain a relatively peaceful political environment.

This is also to pave the way for a good business and development environment. Without a good political environment, how can we talk about attracting investment? How can we talk about development, right?

Otherwise, how could Lin Gangjian have remained in the position of deputy secretary for so many years?

This is political wisdom, limiting yourself with your words and leaving you with nothing to say.

He Anxia had no choice but to give Qi Tongwei a very obscure signal.

Qi Tongwei was also sorting out his thoughts. He felt that Secretary Lin's suspicion was becoming more and more serious.

Are they protecting their comrades or protecting the mountain?

Is it to cure diseases and save lives, or to conceal the truth?

After receiving the signal, Qi Tongwei did not rush to express his opinion, but instead threw the question back to Lin Gangjian: "Then according to Secretary Lin's idea, how should we deal with it?"

Lin Gangjian said: "My idea is very simple. Our municipal party committee should not get involved in this matter. If we do, the scope of the impact will be too large.

We can simply hand over the task of investigation to the comrades below and let them conduct self-correction and self-inspection, so that things can be controlled to a certain extent.

Of course, the explanations due to the Municipal Party Committee cannot be compromised, and we can put some pressure on their leadership team on this point."

Qi Tongwei waved his hand: "Self-correction and self-inspection, I'm afraid they will control the level too well, and in the end they will not check what they should check, and check a lot of things that they shouldn't check.

Besides, the person in charge now is a deputy mayor, so I think the people below him can't escape responsibility either."

Lin Gangjian smiled and looked meaningfully at Qi Tongwei and He Anxia's faces.

He is now basically sure of what tricks these two top leaders are playing.

I thought the situation in the city had changed drastically and turned into a three-way confrontation, but I didn't expect it to still be the Chu-Han River boundary. It turns out they are still wary of him.

I didn't expect that even though I was about to retire, there would still be a struggle waiting for me at the last moment of my career.

Well, he has fought all his life, and he should end his political life tragically with struggle. This is the most suitable destination for him.

Then draw your sword!

He wanted to use his last days to give these two young people advice - a hero may be old, but he is still a hero.

"We have to trust the comrades below us. Even if most of the comrades don't believe us, can we trust Comrade He Qingsong a little?

Comrade Anxia has been familiar with this comrade, and I believe he can still maintain his principles in this task."

Who is this comrade? He is a good comrade who has been certified by He Anxia as having reformed himself.

He is a good comrade who has confessed and received leniency and gained the organization's forgiveness. Can you say that he is untrustworthy?

Since he has gained the organization's understanding and certification, this comrade is now a very pure and clean comrade.

Unless you overturn your own certification.

Qi Tongwei was speechless for a moment, never expecting that one day he would shoot himself in the foot.

Lin Gangjian added: "Besides, this comrade is about to retire, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to investigate. I believe he is not afraid of offending anyone now, and will not make the same mistake again and again, or play the emotional card with anyone.

Of course, if everyone feels it's not appropriate, then we can wait until the new mayor takes office. I made a special inquiry when I came here, and the comrade in charge of liaison said that Comrade Shi Youzhi is on his way back and will be able to report to the Organization Department the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Having said that, Qi Tongwei didn't say anything more and agreed to give it a try.

He knew a little more and knew that the deputy secretary came from Haikou. If he insisted on a thorough investigation, the other party would inevitably think that they were targeting him.

It will only take two months for the other party to go to the CPPCC. There is no need to embarrass him at this time.

It got really noisy and everyone looked unhappy.

What's more, what the other party said makes sense and they have made concessions. There is really no need to make a big fuss in Haikou.

He Anxia didn't know that this deputy secretary came from Haikou, but seeing that Qi Tongwei tacitly agreed, he also agreed.

The meeting ended in a whimper.
