It turned out that it was Song Chaoyang who heard this. He was so angry that he slammed the table. Yesterday afternoon, when he went to the Northern District Government to confront Zhao Xiaotao and Shen Zhihong, Shen Zhihong was still trying to cover things up and shirk responsibility. He insisted that he was not responsible at all. But today, Wang Haidong exposed what he had done. The contrast was huge. How could Song Chaoyang not be furious? Shen Zhihong had lied to his face and deceived him, the highest leader in the city! A leader was not afraid of his subordinates doing bad things. He could tolerate his subordinates being corrupt and forming cliques for personal gain. But he could not tolerate his subordinates lying to him. It had been like this since ancient times.
After the loud bang, Wang Haidong closed his mouth in horror. He did not dare to say another word. He just carefully observed Song Chaoyang's expression.
After Song Chaoyang slammed the table, he realized that he had lost his composure as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee by doing this in public. He suppressed his anger and said, "Wang Haidong, continue."
Wang Haidong smiled awkwardly and continued, "Shen Zhihong also told me that the Northern District Branch has been doing this for years. The villagers of Dongshui Village have long reported that the village was polluted. But because the Northern District wants to get a huge tax payment from the Taifu Chemical Factory, and Shen Zhihong and the branch want to get benefits from the factory, they came up with this idea. It can fool the villagers of Dongshui Village without affecting the actual profits. Shen Zhihong also said that this is the best of both worlds! "
Song Chaoyang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He asked patiently, "Is there anything else?"
Wang Haidong said, "Shen Zhihong's wife just changed her car. Her original car was a Hyundai Elantra, but now it's a Subaru Pride. It's about 300,000 yuan. Shen Zhihong told me that the boss of the Taifu Chemical Factory bought it for him. But as the bureau chief, it's too ostentatious for him to drive the Subaru, so he gave it to his wife. Anyway, he has his own car and driver, so he doesn't have to worry about not having a car …"
Hearing that, Song Chaoyang was no longer angry. Instead, he began to coldly chuckle. However, his chuckle made Lu Yuanchao and Wang Haidong even more afraid. The two of them could tell that his anger had reached a certain degree. Perhaps, it had already reached its limit. At this time, if anyone continued to provoke him and made him explode with all of his fury, they would have to bear the might of thunder and lightning.
Because of this, Wang Haidong did not dare to continue even though he had not finished speaking.
At this moment, Li Rui said, "Director Wang, please continue. Tell us everything you know."
Wang Haidong looked at him with respect and envy. He thought to himself, The Municipal Party Committee's First Secretary is indeed the Municipal Party Committee's First Secretary. In the whole city, only he would dare to be so relaxed in front of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary. Sigh, to be in such a good position at such a young age, his future is limitless. He nodded and said, "I also heard from Shen Zhihong that the Taifu Chemical Factory gives 200,000 yuan to the Northern City Branch every year as a business guidance fee. In fact, it's just giving them 200,000 yuan as a bonus so that they can help the factory during critical times … That's all I know. Shen Zhihong has never told anyone else about this except for me. Very few outsiders know about this. If they don't know about this, they won't be able to investigate even if they wanted to … "
Song Chaoyang and Li Rui could tell that he was taking the opportunity to claim credit. Of course, he did not want any credit. He only wanted to expose these secrets to make up for his previous crimes.
Song Chaoyang glanced at him coldly and said to Lu Yuanchao, "The series of events at Dongshui Village has caused a huge commotion. It has alarmed the provincial leaders and brought about a negative impact on society. Wang Haidong jumped out at this time to create trouble for me. Does he think that the city is not chaotic enough? I originally wanted to punish him until the end, but seeing that he exposed these problems, I will let him off lightly … "
Wang Haidong heard this and immediately looked at him with teary eyes. His expression was extremely pitiful, like an old dog begging for its owner to spare its life.
Song Chaoyang said, "My suggestion is to remove him from his position in the Party and demote him."
Lu Yuanchao heard this and said without hesitation, "Yes, when we get back to work tomorrow, I will hold a Party Committee meeting and follow the Secretary's suggestion."
Wang Haidong's legs turned to jelly. His body swayed and he almost fell to the ground. Song Chaoyang's suggestion did not sound harmful at first, but in reality, if he was removed from his position in the Party, he, Wang Haidong, was no more than a dog's fart. In addition, although he was demoted, he was already hated by the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. How would the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau dare to assign him any position? He would not be able to be the Deputy Director of the Research Institute. He was destined to be an ordinary cadre for the rest of his life. He would never have the chance to make a comeback. This was different from offending his boss. If he offended his boss, as long as he waited until his boss left, there was still a chance for him to succeed. However, if he angered the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, who would dare to hire him? Even after Song Chaoyang, the Secretary of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, was transferred, no leader dared to hire him. It was not like there was no one else to hire. Why would they hire someone who angered the Secretary? Someone who could anger the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, regardless of whether his character was good or bad, was at least a disobedient person. Why would they hire someone who was disobedient?
Therefore, it could be said that although Wang Haidong's official life was still alive, his path to promotion was completely blocked. In the future, he could only muddle along and wait for death. He would also be ridiculed and looked down upon by others.
However, Song Chaoyang did not plan to let him go. He said, "Wang Haidong, if you want to redeem yourself by doing good deeds, I will give you a chance. However, if you think that this is considered redeeming yourself by doing good deeds, that won't do. Who would believe empty words? Xiao Rui, take him out and give him a piece of paper. Let him write a report letter. Write down everything that happened before and put his signature and fingerprint at the end. "
Li Rui agreed.
Wang Haidong originally planned to secretly expose Shen Zhihong's secret. Who would have thought that he would be forced to write a report letter now? It was equivalent to reporting his old friend using his real name. He would have to bear the consequences. Moreover, even if he did so, he would not be able to save his official position. He felt grief, shame, regret, helplessness, unwillingness, fear … all kinds of emotions mixed together. It was unbearable. He wanted to cry but had no tears. He wanted to plead but did not dare. He could only silently swallow this huge bitter fruit and turn around to walk out of the room with Li Rui.
Before he entered the door, he was still the Director of the Municipal Environmental Protection Institute. After he left, he was already a criminal. It was true that a single slip would cause everlasting regret. When he turned back, it was already a hundred years ago.
After Wang Haidong left, Song Chaoyang asked Lu Yuanchao again, "Xiao Yan was suspended. Do you know?"
Lu Yuanchao hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't know. I definitely don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't have let Wang Haidong off even without your orders. Xiao Yan was recommended to Director Li after I made many calls. I know the situation the best. How could she have accepted personal business? Moreover, even if she had accepted personal business, she can't be suspended so easily. This is clearly Wang Haidong abusing his power … "
Song Chaoyang was impatient to listen to his nonsense. He promptly interrupted him and said, "Xiao Yan was also in the room today. Let me tell you, Xiao Yan is a great contributor to me. If it weren't for her help, we might never have known how serious the underground water pollution in Dongshui Village was. In the series of incidents in Dongshui Village, she was a milestone. When you go back, you have to comfort her. You can't let her have any psychological pressure or other emotions. Also, regarding Wang Haidong, you know what to do next, right? "
Lu Yuanchao repeatedly nodded and said, "I know, I know. I'll hold a team meeting tomorrow to deal with him …"
Song Chaoyang shook his head and said, "That's secondary. I want you to report Wang Haidong's case to all departments and units. We'll start a learning and summarizing activity. Do a good job of educating the leaders of your bureau. You must prevent similar situations from happening again. If this kind of person happens again, it will be your responsibility as the bureau's Party Secretary and Director! "
Lu Yuanchao was shocked. He hurriedly nodded in agreement and made a solemn promise.
A few minutes later, Li Rui first sent Lu Yuanchao and Wang Haidong off, then sent Yan Dan off. Before leaving, he reminded her, "Wang Haidong can't even protect himself, so he probably won't take his anger out on you. But if his lackeys bully you, you have to tell me immediately. I'll help you." Yan Dan looked at him gratefully and said, "I really have to thank you for today's matter. If you didn't give me the opportunity to see Song Shuji, my matter wouldn't have been resolved so quickly. You and Song Shuji are both good leaders." Li Rui smiled slightly and said, "What kind of leader am I? Don't flatter me."
As the two talked, they had already reached the corridor. Li Rui gave his hand to Yan Dan and said, "I won't send you off. We'll be friends from now on. If you need help, just let me know. You don't have to be polite with me. I wasn't polite when I asked you for help." Yan Dan smiled happily and reached out to shake his hand and said, "Okay, let's keep in touch in the future."
After shaking hands, Li Rui watched her leave. He rubbed the fingers of his right hand. He was reluctant to part with the other party's soft and delicate hand. However, he was also puzzled. As a technician who fiddled with chemicals and electronic equipment all day, why was the skin on her hand so soft?
Back in the office, Li Rui took the report letter written by Wang Haidong and went into the room to show it to Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang gave it a cursory glance and nodded: "Immediately contact the Northern District Party Secretary, Tang Haoran, and fax this report letter to him. I believe that at this juncture, he should know what to do and you don't need to tell him." He then handed the letter back to him.
Li Rui nodded and turned to walk towards the door.
Song Chaoyang stopped him and said, "After you send it, it will be almost lunchtime. Let's go for lunch."
