The head of the Publicity Department, Zheng Zijuan, coughed softly and interrupted the argument between the two. She then said in a soft and charming voice, "For a long time, we have been firmly against officials seeking positions. But now, there are new changes. Some leaders are willing to do anything to become an official. Not only do they seek positions from their superiors, but they also seek positions from their subordinates. Why would they seek positions from their subordinates? Specifically, they would give benefits to their subordinates, or promise to give benefits to their subordinates, and take advantage of some loopholes in our organization's inspection of cadres. Through the exchange of information between the subordinates and the organization's departments, they would say good things about themselves and give themselves high marks in order to achieve their own unspeakable goals. Personally, I believe that we must investigate this phenomenon thoroughly. Firstly, it can improve the image of Qingyang's officials and purify the officialdom. Secondly, it can also maintain the purity of the leaders and maintain the reputation of our government and the public's credibility. "
When Li Rui heard Zheng Zijuan's words, he was secretly amused. He thought that Zheng Zijuan was indeed in the Publicity Department. She could come up with such bureaucratic words without needing to draft them. In fact, she only had one purpose for saying so much nonsense. She supported Yu Heping's suggestion to investigate Liu Yuejun's treat. Of course, this was also the suggestion that Song Chaoyang should accept. Otherwise, today's meeting would be a mess and no one would be able to leave.
Song Chaoyang did not hesitate. After Zheng Zijuan finished speaking, he said, "Head Zheng and Secretary Yu have the same opinion. That is, the Commission for Discipline Inspection should investigate Liu Yuejun's treat. Personally, I'm inclined to agree with them. As the saying goes, 'If there's something wrong, we can correct it.' If there's something wrong with Liu Yuejun, we can find out his problem through the investigation and urge him to correct it. If there's nothing wrong with him, then it's fine. We can use the results of the Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation to prove his innocence. I believe that most of the leaders in Qingyang are good and pure. They can withstand the investigation. I wonder if anyone has any other opinions? "
On the surface, the secretary was the same as the other members of the standing committee. He only had one vote for a certain decision. His choice could not influence the other members of the standing committee. Therefore, there was no way for him to have the final say. However, people did not live in a vacuum after all. They were still affected by many things. For example, in practice, the secretary was the holder of the highest power in the local area. He was the right-hand man of the higher-ups and the host of the Standing Committee. To some extent, he could even influence the promotion of other members of the Standing Committee. With so many situations put together, the other members of the Standing Committee had to carefully consider the secretary's opinion. China's several thousand years of feudal dynasties had formed a profound class concept in officialdom, as well as the deep-rooted slave mentality in people's hearts. What kind of situation had it created? That is, if it did not involve their own major interests (such as their lives), the Standing Committee would not take the huge risk of offending the Secretary to oppose his opinion.
In other words, according to the above theory, it was fine if Song Chaoyang did not voice his opinion, but once he did, the other members of the Standing Committee would not have too many objections. Of course, there were exceptions. There were exceptions to everything. If Song Chaoyang was a hopeless case and had the support of the provincial leaders, but the officials of Qingyang City did not take him seriously, then no one would listen to him.
Li Rui thought of this and could not help but feel a little nervous. He was afraid that the local officials of Qingyang City would reject Song Chaoyang, an outsider, and not give him any face.
After the secretary expressed his opinion, it was the mayor's turn to speak. In fact, Sun Yaozu also spoke very quickly. He said seriously, "If Old Yu did not mention it today, I would not have known that Liu Yuejun used eating and drinking to buy people's hearts. This is too much. How is this something that party members and leaders should do? I agree with Secretary Chaoyang's opinion. The Commission for Discipline Inspection should investigate this matter thoroughly. If he made a mistake, then he can't run away. If there are no problems, then his innocence can be cleared. "
After he finished speaking, the members of the Standing Committee expressed their opinions in order. Without exception, they all supported Song Chaoyang's opinion.
When it was Jia Yulong's turn, he sighed and said, "Song Shuji, Mayor, I want to reflect on this matter. As the Deputy Mayor in charge of finance, I did not know that Liu Yuejun was doing this behind my back. This is too infuriating. I firmly support Song Shuji's opinion. Investigate Liu Yuejun thoroughly and see if he is really buying people's hearts and squandering public funds … "
Thus, the Standing Committee unanimously passed a resolution that the Commission for Discipline Inspection should send a team to investigate the matter of Liu Yuejun treating his subordinates to a meal. Before this matter was investigated, the position of the Director of Finance was still undecided.
Li Rui took Song Chaoyang's cup and followed him back to the office. Song Chaoyang gestured for him to close the door. After he closed the door, he did not know whether to laugh or cry and said, "This Old Yu, what kind of conflict does he have with the government? Or is there something between him and Liu Yuejun? Every time the Standing Committee does this, it's not good. " Li Ruixin was also very curious about this issue. He wanted to ask his teacher, Yuan Xiaodi, who was an old member of the Municipal Party Committee and should know the inside story of Yu Heping's conflict with the government. He said, "Secretary Yu is very smart. What he said today, he could have said it during the last Standing Committee meeting, but he chose to leave it for this meeting. If he did not suddenly reveal it, Liu Yuejun would have won. " Song Chaoyang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He looked at his watch and said, "There is not enough time in the morning. We will leave after lunch and go to the North District to investigate."
Li Rui knew about this arrangement. He thought to himself that since they were going to the North District today, they could only go to the South District tomorrow. He did not know if there would be a chance for his godson, Li Ming, to show off in front of Song Chaoyang when they were there. It seemed that he had to find some time to communicate with him.
Thinking about this, he felt that he was too selfish and used Song Chaoyang. He could not help but feel a little ashamed. However, wasn't the current trend of using each other in the political circle? If he wanted to remain untainted, he would be isolating himself. Not only would he not have any godson, but he would also not have any friends. As long as it did not violate his principles, he could accept some small tricks.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, Song Chaoyang, the Secretary of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee, accompanied by Yu Heping, the Head of the Publicity Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Zheng Zijuan, and the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, Du Minsheng, came to the Apricot Community on Aiguo Road in the northern district of the city for an in-depth investigation. This was also the first time that Li Rui accompanied Song Chaoyang to appear in public in the city. Some of the City's TV and newspaper reporters were also there to interview. It was worth mentioning that the reporter sent by the City's TV station was Yao Xuefei, the new star of Department 2's variety channel. Zhou Jianwei, the Deputy Director of the City's Radio, Film and TV Bureau, also went with the team.
The City's North District District Committee Secretary Tang Haoran, District Committee Office Director Huang Shangqing, District Committee Organization Department Head Bi Ruiming, and others were there to accompany them.
Song Chaoyang and his team first visited Xinghua Community's Family Comprehensive Service Center. Then, they participated in Xinghua Community's Level 3 Party Member's Public Relations Conference. They visited the community's residents and hosted a discussion on building a harmonious society. At the discussion, several leaders of the City's North District spoke one after another. In the end, Song Chaoyang put forward three suggestions on how to implement the "Suggestions of the CPC Central Committee on Building a Harmonious Society Across the Country".
Li Rui saw that his boss did not even prepare a script, but spoke generously and without a single stutter. Furthermore, he spoke clearly and logically. He was so impressed in his heart that he would prostrate himself in admiration. He secretly made up his mind that he would also train to have such skills. As the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. If he was too weak, his boss would lose face, right?
Li Rui's former boss, Yu Heping's secretary, and the head of the Second Secretary Department, Ji Gang, were also with the team. This person's personality was still the same. He was cold and indifferent. He did not get close to Li Rui because of his promotion. During the meeting, the two of them stood outside. They were not far from each other, but they did not talk. Li Rui did not like him to begin with. When he saw him like this, he disliked him even more.
During the investigation, Li Rui's eyes were basically glued to his boss, Song Chaoyang. Of course, this was to be on standby so that he could provide his services at any time. On the other hand, he could also learn from his words and actions. Unexpectedly, during this process, Li Rui discovered something interesting.
Song Chaoyang seemed to have a good impression of the TV station's reporter, Yao Xuefei.
Li Rui was able to discover this not because Song Chaoyang kept pestering Yao Xuefei. As the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he could not do that in public. It was also not because Song Chaoyang kept staring at Yao Xuefei. He could not do that either. It was also not because Yao Xuefei took the initiative to get close to him. It was because of a look.
Song Chaoyang once took a close look at Yao Xuefei. When his gaze focused on Yao Xuefei's beautiful face, it was slightly sluggish, but he quickly turned his gaze away. However, the sharp Li Rui could tell from the expression in his gaze that he seemed to admire Yao Xuefei. It was a deep gaze that could only be understood but not expressed.
From Song Chaoyang's gaze, Li Rui could also tell that his boss's personality was similar to his. They were both a little aloof and had a bit of scholarly spirit. They would not show their feelings in public if they liked someone. They might even do the opposite of what they wanted to do to attract the other party's attention. To put it bluntly, this kind of personality was cold on the outside but cold on the inside. To put it nicely, it was reserved.
Speaking of which, the reason why Yao Xuefei could be admired by Song Chaoyang was because she had the ability to do so.
