Chapter 598 [Undercover] (Part 1)

Zhang Yang felt a little strange. Chen Hao is the executive vice mayor. Even if he takes leave, there is no need to let Shi Zhongheng come to tell him specifically. They take this seriously. Zhang Yang believes that it may not be Chen Hao's intention. Shi Zhongheng comes to find him to find an excuse to start the topic. Zhang Yang said: "Mayor Chen's affairs are really regrettable, but since this disease has fallen on him, he can only face reality. Modern medicine is so developed that many cancers can be cured. I believe that Mayor Chen must be a good person and has his own nature."

Shi Zhongheng said: "He is planning to return to Nancy for later treatment after surgery at the Provincial People's Hospital. As long as the experts provide radiotherapy and chemotherapy plans, it will be the same where to perform later treatment."

Zhang Yang nodded: "Does the city know about this?"

Shi Zhongheng said: "It has been said"

In the Nancy Municipal Party Committee meeting room, the Standing Committee members were holding a meeting. The atmosphere on that day seemed a bit depressing. Xu Guangran, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was in a very bad mood. First, his younger brother Xu Guangli was invited by the procuratorate for bribing Jingmin. Then he learned that Executive Vice Mayor Chen Hao had cancer. He just received the news that Vice Premier Wen Guoquan delivered a speech in Lanshan Development Zone, proposing that brother cities should break the regional concept, enhance economic cooperation and mutual communication, and do a good job in further deepening reforms in accordance with the principles of joint development and common development. The focus was on the matter of Nancy Deepwater Port, saying that deepwater port is not Nancy's own business. Such a major project should concentrate the advantages of the surrounding areas and abandon the regional concept, so that the construction task can be completed smoothly and successfully.

Xu Guangran knew that Wen Guoquan would not emphasize this for no reason, and since he said it, it would not be possible that nothing had happened before. Pinghai was paying attention to Wen Guoquan's every move. Wen Guoquan's words were not only to Lanshan, but also to Nancy and the entire Pinghai.

The meeting started with the condition of Executive Vice Mayor Chen Hao. Mayor Xia Boda said: "This morning, Executive Vice Mayor Comrade Chen Hao submitted his resignation through his family. Because of his health, he could no longer serve as Executive Vice Mayor. This is his resignation application." He raised the application in his hand and slowly placed it on the table.

The Standing Committee members looked at Xu Guangran, and everyone knew that Xu Guangran was not feeling well. Chen Hao and Chang Lingkong had always been his left and right hands. Chang Lingkong had already gone to Lanshan as mayor, but now Chen Hao is ill again. Xu Guangran's right-hand arm left and right arm left in a short period of time is definitely not a good thing for him. What's more, his younger brother Xu Guangli was arrested for bribery. Even if Xu Guangran was the secretary of the Nanxi Municipal Party Committee, he was helpless in this matter because it was Song Huaiming who was in charge of this matter. Xu Guangran did not dare to do anything. Xu Guangran's life was not easy during this period.

Xu Guangran now deeply realized what it means to be misfortune, but unfortunate things are one after another. He whispered: "Comrade Chen Hao's affairs are really amazing, so I always emphasize that everyone should not just focus on work, but also take care of their health. You must know that the body is the capital of revolution. Without a strong body, how can you carry out revolutionary work? Why do you still talk about serving the people?" When he said this, he suddenly felt an indescribable boredom and cleared his throat and said: "Although Comrade Chen Hao fell ill, our work still needs to continue. Let's discuss who will replace his work at the moment."

Xu Guangran's words meant that one executive vice mayor would be selected among the many deputy mayors, and the executive vice mayor would become a future member of the Nancy City Standing Committee. After Xu Guangran finished speaking, he immediately proposed: "I will propose a candidate first. I think Comrade Wang Haibo is good. What do you think?"

All the Standing Committee members remained silent. Wang Haibo, like Chen Hao, was Xu Guangran's people. In fact, most of the Standing Committee members were used to silence. It was not wise to sing on stage plays with Xu Guangran in Nancy.

Mayor Xia Boda spoke: "I think Comrade Gong Qiwei is more suitable. He was in charge of sports work in the past and was quite familiar with this field." Xia Boda had already felt the storm coming and the wind was coming. Xu Guangran was in a political low. If he didn't know how to grasp this rare opportunity, he would have been in the system for so many years in vain. Xia Boda did not suggest that Gong Qiwei be the executive vice mayor, but deliberately confused the concept and suggested that Gong Qiwei be in charge of sports work.

Xu Guangran certainly knew Xia Boda's purpose, and he said calmly: "Comrade Qiwei's shoulders are already heavy enough. The deep-water port project is so important, I don't want him to be distracted." This sentence is equivalent to openly rejecting Xia Boda's proposal.

Xu Guangran's next words were: "Everyone raise your hands to vote. I suggest Comrade Wang Haibo temporarily replace Comrade Chen Hao. If you agree, please raise your hand." Xu Guangran clearly realized that Nancy's political arena is now surging, and he must take firm and decisive measures to stabilize his political status in Nancy. Otherwise, his absolute right to speak in Nancy for many years will face an unprecedented challenge.

Xu Guangran was the first to raise his hand. Just as he was about to impose his decision on all the Standing Committee members, his secretary hurried in and whispered in his ear: "Tel, Governor Song's phone number!"

Xu Guangran's face changed. Unexpectedly, Song Huaiming would call him at this critical moment. He had to interrupt the meeting and quickly came to the room next door, took the call from the secretary, and said in a respectful tone: "Governor Song, hello, I am Xu Guangran!"

Song Huaiming said: "Comrade Guangran, Vice Premier Wen is very concerned about your deepwater port and has a deep understanding of the difficulties you are facing. This time, in Lanshan, we have a consultation with the leading cadres of Lanshan City on the matters of the deepwater port. After discussion, everyone believes that Lanshan should join the construction of the deepwater port, which is also what Secretary Qiao means."

Xu Guangran's mind buzzed! He felt that his head was about to explode. When Gong Qiwei proposed this matter, he finally calmed it down, but he didn't expect that it had not been long since it had passed. Why did the old thing be mentioned again? Although Wen Guoquan is the Vice Premier of the State Council, he should not interfere in local internal affairs. How credible is Song Huaiming's words? However, whether it is Wen Guoquan's initiative or not, Song Huaiming, as the governor, has said it, it proves that this matter has become a foregone conclusion. Xu Guangran's throat said: "Governor Song, the deep water port project has been fully launched, and everything is going on in an orderly manner. I feel that it is not good to change in the middle."

Song Huaiming said: "Comrade Guangran, as an old party member and an old cadre, your eyes cannot always be limited to Nancy. The Deepwater Port project will bring a leap forward in the surrounding urban areas. Let Lanshan join the construction of the Deepwater Port, which is also to share the pressure you are under. Some things are well known to everyone. Deepwater Port had faced a shutdown a few days ago. Although the situation has been alleviated now, if the problem is not fundamentally solved, it will not take too long to happen."

Xu Guangran kept wiping his sweat.

Song Huaiming said: "Actually, before Vice Premier Wen came to Nancy, Secretary Qiao and I had talked about the matter about the Deepwater Port. Vice Premier Wen mentioned this issue. I exchanged views with Secretary Qiao on this matter and reached a consensus. In order for the Deepwater Port project to be successfully completed, regional cooperation must be strengthened. In fact, Comrade Chang Lingkong, the mayor of Lanshan City, was the person in charge of the Deepwater Port project in the past. There should be no running-in problem when joining the middle, right?"

Xu Guangran's heart kept sinking. He understood that this matter had become a fact and the leaders decided that he could not change it at all. Faced with this result, he could only accept it. Whether he was willing or not, he whispered: "Governor Song, I respect the leader's decision." This sentence was full of helplessness. What would he do if he didn't accept it?

Song Huaiming said: "I heard that your Executive Vice Mayor Comrade Chen Hao has liver cancer?"

Xu Guangran said: "Yes, he has submitted his resignation and we are holding a standing committee to discuss it."

Song Huaiming said: "Help me to express my condolences to Comrade Chen Hao. The province will make adjustments to his work arrangements."

Xu Guangran was stunned. He didn't understand what was going on. Why did the provincial leaders suddenly stare at Nancy and all reached out to Nancy. He, the secretary of the municipal party committee, seemed to be dispensable. Xu Guangran sweated all over his body. He realized that things were getting worse and wrong. The province must have been dissatisfied with his leadership, otherwise such adjustments would not be made one after another. He could not make a decision as the position of executive vice mayor. The province wanted to determine this. Xu Guangran felt an indescribable humiliation, which was distrust of his leadership ability. Xu Guangran wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.

Song Huaiming had already hung up the phone.

Xu Guangran didn't remember how he walked back to the conference room. All the members of the Standing Committee saw that his face was extremely ugly. Xu Guangran sat down silently in his position, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently. After a while, Li Peiyuan, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, finally couldn't help but remind him: "Secretary Xu, are we going to continue to vote?"

Xu Guangran shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion, "I'll talk about this later!"

All the Standing Committee members felt strange. How could Xu Guangran suddenly become like this? Let’s talk about it later? The Executive Vice Mayor’s question can be discussed later, but someone must take over the work he is in charge. Could it be that this matter is shelved so unknown?

There are two more people in the office of the Provincial Party Secretary Qiao Zhenliang, one is Zeng Laizhou, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the other is Yan Guotao, secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee. Zeng Laizhou came to Qiao Zhenliang to report the latest progress in the Hui Jingmin case.

After hearing this, Qiao Zhenliang nodded: "Comrade Laizhou, I did a good job this time. I should resolutely crack down on corrupt elements like Hui Jingmin and never be ruthless."

Zeng Laizhou said: "Hui Jingmin is really hateful. His son Huiqiang is not a good thing. Knowing that Governor Song was in charge of this case, he actually asked someone to retaliate against Governor Song, which almost caused Principal Liu to have an abortion."

This was the first time Qiao Zhenliang heard about this incident. His eyes widened and he said furiously: "Is this incident true?"

Zeng Laizhou said: "Really, Governor Song was afraid that this incident caused panic among the cadres, so he kept suppressing it."

Qiao Zhenliang said angrily: "I am very brave. Such a person must be sentenced to a heavy sentence and make him pay a heavy price for what he does."

Zeng Laizhou said a few more words, got up and left.

Yan Guotao had just returned from Lanshan, and Song Huaiming accompanied Wen Guoquan to Jiangcheng for a one-day inspection. Yan Guotao came this time to report to Qiao Zhenliang specifically on what happened in Nanxi and Lanshan.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Prime Minister Wen's proposal is very good. In the past, I didn't say it was because the time was short, and I didn't want to create an impression that our policies were biased towards Lanshan in front of others. Since Vice Premier Wen proposed it, it's the most appropriate. Comrade Huaiming has exchanged views with me, so I asked him to call Xu Guangran."

When talking about Xu Guangran, Yan Guotao remembered something and whispered: "Secretary Qiao, I heard that Xu Guangran's younger brother Xu Guangli is also related to Hui Jingmin's case."

Qiao Zhenliang frowned and said, "The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. No matter who he is, as long as he violates the law, he will be held accountable. What does Xu Guangli do?"

Yan Guotao said: "Xu Guangli is the general manager of Nancy New Century Construction Company. He was responsible for the project of Nancy New Sports Center. Later, due to the construction progress, the project construction changed. He was only responsible for the construction of Nancy main stadium."

"Brother is the secretary, and brother is engaged in construction. Is there any problem here?" Qiao Zhenliang said angrily.

Yan Guotao knew that Qiao Zhenliang was very unhappy with Xu Guangran, and he whispered: "Nanxi has had many problems in recent years. I think it should have something to do with the leadership. Xu Guangran monopolizes the power of the party and government in Nancy. Xia Boda is too sleek and lacks opinion."
