Chapter 309 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
Sha Cuihua, head of the county's Propaganda Department, and Wu Shuangjiang, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, entered respectfully.
"Secretary Qi."
Qi Tongwei changed his attitude towards Kong Yiji and kindly gestured for the two to sit down and talk.
Wu Shuangjiang spoke frankly, "Secretary Qi, Comrade Cuihua and I have come to you to apologize for our crimes."
Qi Tongwei said "Oh" and leaned forward slightly, motioning for the two to continue.
"We both received help from Huang Yingxiang in our careers, and we also did a lot of disciplinary violations for him over the years.
We have also implicitly condoned Huang Hongfa's rampant behavior in Jiangchang County, causing enormous losses to the country and the people. We feel deeply guilty and have come here to request that the organization punish us."
Qi Tongwei put away his smile, slammed his water cup on the table, and said with deep sorrow, "How could you lose your ideals and beliefs, and the basic bottom line and principles of being a Party member?
It's really inappropriate for a Party cadre to be influenced by a businessman."
After being criticized by Qi Tongwei, Wu Shuangjiang lowered his head and dared not speak.
After a moment of silence, Sha Cuihua took over the conversation. Her role in the Huang Group was not obvious.
This is due to China's unique mechanism. The power of the first and second-level propaganda departments is very low. At the municipal level, it is still slightly lower than that of other standing committee members. Only at the provincial level can it be compared with powerful departments such as the organization minister.
At the top level, the Propaganda Department is more important than the Organization Department.
"Secretary Qi, we did do a lot of wrong things in the past in order to move up.
We are also willing to accept the organization's investigation and disposal."
Both of them were frightened by Guo Xiangli. If they didn't confess, they would be taken away once Guo Xiangli confessed. The people queuing outside had more or less some problems.
Everyone came here with the mentality of admitting their mistakes, getting closer to Qi Tongwei, and trying to make up for their losses.
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and felt that if these two people didn't have any serious problems, they should still be protected.
At least we have to protect some of them now. This is our basic base. If we wipe out too many of them at once and a group of unfamiliar people come in, we will enter an era of numerous factions again, which will be very detrimental to the development of the entire county.
Although I can decide to demote them now, it will be difficult to promote a few more people. Is there no personnel arrangement for the people above?
The control is just right at the moment, so it is better to move less.
Qi Tongwei was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I understand what happened. Go back and write a thorough self-criticism, detailing all your mistakes over the years. I'll report this to the higher authorities."
Then he changed the subject, "Although you have made many mistakes over the years, fortunately you have remained firm in your beliefs on major issues of right and wrong.
I know this, and I need to strengthen my ideological work in the future so I don't make the same mistake again."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The two were delighted when they heard this, they knew that they could probably pass this level.
Under Huang Yingxiang's instructions, they accidentally stood by Qi Tongwei's side, and now it was time to repay them.
Secretary Qi is indeed a person who cherishes old times.
Next, Qi Tongwei met with Tang Ming, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. These were also Guo Xiangli's people. They were not his die-hard supporters, but they were indeed on Guo Xiangli's side.
After a few polite words, Qi Tongwei got down to business.
"Comrade Tang Ming, the county magistrate of Jiangchang County is under investigation. This shows that there are many problems in the county. We must intensify our anti-corruption efforts. In my opinion, this anti-corruption campaign must not be a mere formality."
Tang Ming asked cautiously, "Secretary Qi, how much force are you talking about?"
"Apart from anything else, the county government, the township government, and all the important bureaus should conduct a thorough investigation. You can handle the specific circumstances as you see fit."
Tang Ming felt bitter in his heart, as this top leader was ready to put him on the fire.
Being the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission is a job that offends people. Nowadays, everyone is followed by a group of people.
Are these people just waiting for you to investigate? Will they launch a counterattack?
Putting aside other things, Tang Ming was so close to Guo Xiangli, so how could he get away with it?
But he had to do it. Qi Tongwei's meaning was clear: the anti-corruption campaign had to be thorough. How thorough? It was just a token of surrender, a crackdown on Guo Xiangli's faction, even to the point of eradicating them completely.
The most important thing is that the anti-corruption personnel are left to decide for themselves. No matter how they look at it, they have to take the blame themselves.
It is no longer enough to be perfunctory like before, we must achieve results in a short period of time.
He could already foresee his own ending. The best thing would be to retire to the second line after achieving success and get ashore safely.
Otherwise, he would be used as a knife by Qi Tongwei, and after using it, he would have to take it out to appease other people's anger, and then stay in prison for a few years.
If it had been any worse, I might have lost my life.
Does he have a choice? No, if he doesn't do it, he'll be investigated tomorrow.
"Yes, Secretary Qi, I'll go down and make arrangements right away."
Qi Tongwei nodded.
After saying goodbye to several key cadres, when it was Zhou Dongkai's turn, it was already time to get off work, so Qi Tongwei packed up and left.
Zhou Dongkai hurried forward, his usual arrogance gone, his face now servile and flustered. "Secretary Qi."
Qi Tongwei sighed. He had thought that this deputy secretary who had been fighting against him would be a person like Gao Yuliang, who would still choose to draw his sword at the last moment. He didn't expect that he would choose to surrender so quickly.
However, Qi Tongwei has decided to attack the opponent first and will not waste any more time on him.
Qi Tongwei reached out to stop the other person from speaking and pointed to his watch. "Comrade Dongkai, it's getting late. Too many things have happened in the county today. I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest early. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Zhou Dongkai wanted to say a few more words, but Qi Tongwei had already walked past him, waved his hand, and walked into the elevator.
Such differential treatment was naturally noticed by the spies in various offices.
When Zhou Dongkai returned to the office, it was deserted. The secretary had already packed up and left work, and a letter of resignation was already on the desk.
Zhou Dongkai laughed sadly.
This is the officialdom, where current events are played out every day, and everyone is just obsessed with power.
As soon as the top leader expressed his attitude, others drew a clear line.
After all, even a blind man could see that he was so close to Guo Xiangli that he could not keep himself clean.
But when I think about it, I am the same.
He really couldn't understand how the alliance, which was at its peak, could collapse in just a few months.
Now that he thinks about it, Qi Tongwei did give him a chance. If he had been able to take away several chemical factories of the Huang family, Qi Tongwei might have let him step back out of old friendship.
It's too late to come over now. They want to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
