Li Rui pushed the door open and said, "Boss, the meeting is about to start." But when he saw Song Chaoyang's unhappy expression, his heart skipped a beat. Did Old Yu give the boss another difficult problem? He closed the door and asked, "Boss, did something happen again?" Song Chaoyang said with a sullen face, "Xiao Rui, do you remember when I took you to Shuanghe county to check on the flood relief work when I first came to Qingyang?" Li Rui nodded and said, "Yes, of course I remember." Song Chaoyang put his hands behind his back and paced around the room. He said, "At that time, I received a report from my old classmate, Fang Qingyun, who is now the deputy secretary of the Shuanghe county committee. That's why I rushed over." Li Rui suddenly understood. No wonder the boss suddenly wanted to go to Shuanghe, and his main purpose was to check on the county.
It turned out that he received a report for the relief work of the flood victims. Thinking back carefully, Fang Qingyun seemed to have eaten with him before. He didn't expect him to be the boss' classmate. Fortunately, he didn't neglect him at that time, or else the boss would blame him.
Song Chaoyang continued, "After that time, I sent a disciplinary investigation team. Later, I found that Shuanghe county's county head, Luo Dawei, was playing tricks with the disaster relief funds and relief supplies. If he wasn't Mayor Sun's man, I definitely wouldn't have let him off so easily." Li Rui said, "I know about this matter. At that time, I thought you handled it very well." Song Chaoyang smiled bitterly and said, "But now, Secretary Yu found out about this matter from somewhere and has the evidence found by the disciplinary investigation team. He came to me and said that he wants to ask for a discussion at the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee to see how to deal with Luo Dawei. It's not good for me to agree, but it's also not good for me to disagree. It'll make me look like I'm biased. Sigh, it's really troublesome. "
Li Rui was shocked. After thinking about it, he understood. He said, "He's not inviting everyone to have a discussion. He's forcing you to abdicate. First, he's forcing you to take a stand. Second, he's embarrassing Mayor Sun in front of everyone. If you don't express your opinion, you will be condoning and protecting him, and that will be dereliction of duty. If you express your opinion, you will offend Mayor Sun. In any case, nothing good ever happened. " Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "He's a reserved person. He was afraid that if he told me about this in advance, I would discuss it with Mayor Sun. Therefore, he deliberately told me before the Standing Committee meeting, so that I wouldn't have a chance to communicate with Mayor Sun. Sigh, I didn't expect him to play such a ruthless move. " Li Rui didn't say anything. He was thinking about how to come up with a solution in the short time before the Standing Committee meeting. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "At that time, after you told Mayor Sun about Luo Dawei's matter, did Mayor Sun not order Luo Dawei to correct his mistakes?"
Song Chaoyang shook his head and said, "I don't know. But even if he had corrected, if Secretary Yu insisted on bringing this matter up, he wouldn't be able to run away." Li Rui said, "Is the embezzlement of disaster relief funds a serious problem?" Song Chaoyang said, "It depends on why Luo Dawei embezzled the funds. If it's for public reasons, then it's not a serious problem. If it's for private reasons … Uh, I don't think it's for private reasons. Luo Dawei used to be Mayor Sun's secretary, so he wouldn't be so short-sighted. " He looked at his watch and said, "I think Mayor Sun is already on his way to the Municipal Party Committee. He might even be sitting in the Standing Committee meeting room. There's no way to communicate with him. Sigh, today's Standing Committee meeting won't be easy. "Li Rui said hatefully," That old thing, why does he always have to cause trouble? It's like he can't show his existence if he doesn't cause trouble. "
Song Chaoyang thought further and said, "Other than Secretary Dawei and Ming Sheng, no one else knows about the investigation team sent by the Commission for Discipline Inspection to Shuanghe. It's been a few months, so why did Secretary Yu suddenly bring it up again? Could it be that Secretary Dawei … "Li Rui knew that the Commission for Discipline Inspection's secretary, Xiao Dawei, was originally Yu Heping's man. Later, after the boss talked to him, he seemed to have come over. Last time, he even invited the boss to play golf. This was a gesture of goodwill. Under this premise, he shouldn't be helping Yu Heping do evil again. Of course, it's hard to say whether he wanted to have a foot in both boats. He said," It's hard to say. I don't know if he took the initiative to tell Secretary Yu, or if Secretary Yu heard it from someone else. "Song Chaoyang nodded and said," Let's not talk about it for now.
The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee held a meeting on time.
Song Chaoyang first emphasized the important spirit of the previous Poverty Relief Conference. He urged the members of the Standing Committee to quickly implement the assistance work that they were in charge of. Next, he emphasized the importance of the "four groups" educational activities. The last two topics were basically empty, so the enthusiasm of the members of the Standing Committee was not very high.
After the established topics were discussed, Song Chaoyang glanced at Sun Yaozu, then looked around at the crowd and said, "Secretary Peace has something to discuss with everyone." He then nodded to Yu Heping.
Yu Heping coughed and said in an old-fashioned manner, "Logically speaking, everyone should be allowed to go back after the topics are discussed. However, this is a special case. I'll take up everyone's time to talk about it so that everyone can be mentally prepared. Otherwise, one day, when the provincial government blames us, we won't know what's going on. "
As soon as he said this, everyone perked up and looked at him.
Jia Yulong was his old rival, so he said casually, "Old Yu, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep us in suspense. What does this have to do with the provincial government?"
Yu Heping nodded, but he first took a sip of tea and said, "A few days ago, when I was inspecting the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, I suddenly discovered something. When Shuanghe County was hit by a huge flash flood, the provincial government allocated funds and relief supplies. However, Shuanghe County's Mayor, Luo Dawei, actually used his authority to embezzle the funds and relief supplies …"
When he said this, Li Rui noticed that Sun Yaozu's face instantly darkened. However, he did not say anything. He lowered his eyelids and looked down as if he was asleep. He did not react at all. He thought to himself, Old Sun is in trouble this time. Yu Heping used an open and aboveboard scheme. He had no way of saving Luo Dawei at all. At this point, it seemed like he had no choice but to abandon Luo Dawei in front of all the standing committee members.
Yu Heping continued, "After I found out about this, I was very shocked and angry. I really didn't expect that some of our leaders would actually disregard the lives of the people affected by the disaster for their own benefits and for some high-sounding reasons. How can such a person be a leader? The central government has emphasized many times, and has also ordered many times that the two most important funds are the poverty alleviation fund and the disaster relief fund. Both are of the utmost importance, and no one is allowed to misappropriate or even embezzle them. Whoever dares to touch these two funds is putting a knife to his own neck, and is seeking his own death … "
Jia Yulong interrupted, "It's not as serious as you say. Right now, from the top to the bottom, who doesn't embezzle the funds from the top? Let's put it this way. When the provincial government receives the poverty alleviation funds or disaster relief funds from the country, they will definitely intercept a portion of it first. Next, if they still go to the city, the city will also take advantage of them. They will also intercept a portion of the funds that go through their hands. If they don't go to the city and directly go to the county, the county will also intercept a portion of the funds. If you don't manage the household, you won't know the cost of living. It's not easy for the higher-ups to allocate some funds, so the local governments will naturally take out some to do their own things. If you want to blame someone, you can't blame those who embezzle the funds. You should blame the tax reform back then. Who asked the country to take most of the local taxes? So, isn't it natural to spend the country's money? "
Li Rui was amused and impressed. In the past, he thought that Jia Yulong was brave but not resourceful. Other than being Mayor Sun Yaozu's vanguard, he shouldn't be of any use. He didn't expect him to be so smart. At this critical moment, he knew how to use the country's climate and local unspoken rules to refute Yu Heping's criticism. He even unintentionally changed the topic. If Yu Heping wasn't careful, he might really be led astray by him.
Yu Heping had a backup plan. He wasn't anxious when he heard what Jia Yulong said. He chuckled and drank his tea calmly, "Alright, even if Luo Dawei embezzling the disaster relief funds is not a problem, let's talk about him embezzling the disaster relief funds. He actually colluded with the Shuanghe County's Civil Affairs Bureau to send the old and damaged disaster relief funds from the warehouse to the disaster area for the victims to use. Then, he intercepted the new disaster relief funds from the provincial government, including quilts and tents, and kept them at the Civil Affairs Bureau. The Civil Affairs Bureau then sold them to the local merchants at a low price to make a profit. After investigation, the local merchants who bought the disaster relief funds were actually opened by the family members of the Civil Affairs Bureau's leaders. These people bought the relief funds at a low price and then sold them at a high price when the Civil Affairs Bureau bought the relief funds. Buying and selling, they made a huge profit. In the end, not only did the leaders of the Civil Affairs Bureau profit, but Luo Dawei also benefited. "
Song Chaoyang and Sun Yaozu didn't know about this situation. Their expressions changed when they heard it.
Li Rui realized that Yu Heping didn't just use the investigation report of the investigation team that went to Shuanghe County last time. Looking at how prepared he was, it seemed that he had done a new investigation recently. Otherwise, how could he know so much about the situation? It could also be seen that Sun Yaozu didn't criticize Luo Dawei, and Luo Dawei didn't make any corrections or make up for it. This gave Yu Heping, the old fox, the opportunity to attack.
