Chapter 15: The Intention of the Central Committee
Section 15 The Central Intent
When Costa entered the Andu city area, it was already 9:40 pm and 10:15 pm.
Feng Gang and Jiang Youquan did not take this Costa, but returned to Andu by car. There were only Ling Zhengyue, Zhao Guodong, Mei Jiurong and several secretary in the entire Costa car.
A few hours drive from Tongcheng to Andu, the car was almost suffocating and depressed. Even Mei Jiurong, who had been through the wind and waves, felt breathless. Several young secretaries and staff were even silent and did not dare to say a word. When answering the phone, they subconsciously covered the microphone, and then hung up the phone in a few words under the seat.
Everyone wished that the car could arrive at the destination earlier and get rid of this depression that was almost suffocating, except for Ling Zhengyue and Zhao Guodong.
"Guodong, come to my office and sit down." Ling Zhengyue said slowly until everyone got out of the car and only Zhao Guodong was left.
Zhao Guodong was slightly stunned and nodded silently.
The saying that misfortune never happens is always the most incisive comment. People are unlucky and cold water are stuffy. In the afternoon, Zhao Guodong received a notice from Feng Gang that Liu Zhaoguo was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation. This is the second official-level cadre involved in Huang Zhizhong and Zhou Hongwei's series of corruption cases.
Although he had already made some mental preparations, Zhao Guodong's head still buzzed when he received this notice, and he didn't feel dizzy for a long time.
In name, he was investigated, and the word double-regulation was not used. It seemed that there was still some room for change, but Zhao Guodong knew in his heart that even if he was only investigated, it meant that the Commission for Discipline Inspection had obtained some evidence of Liu Zhaoguo's violations. Perhaps Liu Zhaoguo's problem was not too serious, or that the serious problem had not been verified yet, so he used such a tactful word to be investigated for characterization.
If this case was not investigated and dealt with by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhao Guodong originally planned to put down his face and look for Feng Gang. Even if he was pleading with a short stake, he would also like to ask the Commission for Discipline Inspection to show mercy to Liu Zhaoguo's subordinates. Although he also knew that Feng Gang's temperament was a bit a little bit. It turned out that the Secretary of the Ningling Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection would do his best to disagree with relatives, and it might not be very effective if he came forward, but he had to give it a try.
But this time the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection intervened, especially Xiong Zhenglin calling himself in a sad tone. Zhao Guodong knew that the central government was interested in establishing his authority in Anyuan.
Why did Zhao Guodong choose to be in Anyuan? I guess Ling Zhengyue couldn't understand it either. Could it be that Anyuan's corruption is really more rampant and more prominent than other provinces and cities? Zhao Guodong felt that this might not be the case, especially when he discovered that this series of cases was basically dominated by Andu cadres. Even if Huang Zhizhong had an accident, it was a problem when he was in Andu City, so Zhao Guodong felt a little enlightened.
The problem of Andu City has been around for a long time. From Miao Zhenzhong to Sun Lianping's departure from Andu, the two municipal party committee secretaries were not very compatible with the Anyuan Provincial Party Committee. During Miao Zhenzhong and Sun Lianping as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the municipal party committee, Ning Fa and Ying Dongliu were appointed as secretary of the provincial party committee. At the 17th National Congress, Ning Fa was elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau and resigned as secretary of the Nanyue Provincial Party Committee and entered the Central Committee. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be appointed as vice premier of the State Council, deputy secretary of the Party Group, which is commonly known as executive vice premier. Ying Dongliu was also elected as a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee at the 17th National Congress, continued to serve as secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee, and entered the central decision-making level.
If the Andu Municipal Committee is not very compatible with the Andu Provincial Committee, it would not be like this. However, in the past few years when Miao Zhenzhong and Sun Lianping served as secretary, Andu City's economic growth rate has been sluggish and its status has declined rapidly, and it has quickly fallen from the top of the sixteen sub-provincial cities in the past to the lower-middle level. Moreover, this downward trend seems to be still going on. The economic status in Andu Province has also been surpassed by Ningling, which has emerged in one fell swoop. It is in this case that it is imperative to carry out a thorough cleanup of Andu's political structure.
It is not broken or established, but it is broken before it is established. This is what Xiong Zhenglin said in his afternoon call with Zhao Guodong. The central government must perform a major operation on Andu to ensure that Andu, a sub-provincial city at a key inland node, can assume corresponding responsibilities and play a strategic node role in leading the east and the west. This requires the thorough removal of the old and old pattern and provide a more relaxed operating platform for the new team.
Xiong Zhenglin did not explicitly say whether Ning Fa was not very satisfied with the situation in Andu, but Zhao Guodong felt that Xiong Zhenglin had this view. If the city had some reactions from corruption, it would really give the central government a better opportunity to purify the Andu team.
In this case, even Xiong Zhenglin had to obey the overall situation, and Liu Zhaoguo's problem seemed to have become a resentment.
The energy-saving lamp seemed a little pale. Ling Zhengyue signaled Zhao Guodong to take his seat. A cup of strong tea had been brewed quietly by the secretary. Zhao Guodong didn't like drinking tea at night, but it seemed that he needed to use a cup of tea to cheer up today, but he didn't want to use such strong tea to stimulate it like Ling Zhengyue.
"Guodong, it's been half a year since I returned to An, right?" Ling Zhengyue took a sip of strong tea, it seemed to be Pu'er, strong and delicious.
"Well, it's been more than half a year." Zhao Guodong couldn't tell what Ling Zhengyue wanted to say. Could it be that today's feelings were too deep or the pressure was too great? Zhao Guodong didn't believe that although a major accident had a huge impact, it would not be a trauma for a provincial party secretary. He was the provincial party secretary and did not bear specific responsibility for these safety accidents. This is a rule, and he did not need to react too fiercely to this matter. If you want to talk about responsibility, it is first on your shoulders.
"How do you feel? What's the difference compared to when you were in the National Development and Reform Commission, southern Yunnan, or when you were the secretary of the Ningling Municipal Party Committee?" Ling Zhengyue didn't know what he was thinking, and seemed to be suddenly interested in Zhao Guodong's previous experience.
Zhao Guodong probably didn't expect Ling Zhengyue to suddenly be so concerned about his previous experience, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Guodong also picked up the teacup and took a breath, adjusting his thoughts. He felt that Ling Zhengyue seemed to be worried tonight, not entirely because this accident in Tongcheng Petrochemical was as simple as this time. It seemed that he wanted to communicate with him all the problems that followed during this period. This was pure intuition, but this intuition was so strong.
"How to say it? In the National Development and Reform Commission, he was serving as a deputy, and he was more about giving suggestions and making decisions at higher decision-making levels." Zhao Guodong's face was not very good either. Perhaps it was because he was too tired to deal with this period of time, or perhaps it was a series of events that also made him realize the complexity of the problem and the severity of the situation. If he, the newly appointed governor, wanted to establish a good impression in the central government's mind, he did not expect that it would be a mess.
"In southern Yunnan, it's a little simpler. The feeling in Ningling is a bit similar to that now. It's just when I first arrived in Ningling, but it's still a little different. When I arrived in Ningling, I have to bear it myself. Isn't there still Secretary Ling, you are in charge of the overall situation now? Of course, Ningling's plate is much smaller than An's original one." A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Guodong's mouth, but it was still a little bitter.
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. I know that Anyuan's problem will break out sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly and violently." Ling Zhengyue's tone was a little indifferent, as if he was narrating something that had nothing to do with him. "Anyuan's development speed in the past few years has also set off the development of Andu even more bleak. Andu's impression and status in the central government's mind have been declining again and again. In addition, the Andu problem that was implicated from outside the province this time was just a move by the central government to follow the flow."
Zhao Guodong nodded silently. Ling Zhengyue also saw or learned about the purpose and intention of the Central Committee to fight in Anyuan, cleared the old things in Andu, and gave the current Anyuan Provincial Party Committee and Andu Municipal Party Committee a clearer and more free space for development and operation. This is the main intention of the Central Committee, but the Central Committee's intention was reflected in lightning momentum, and it did not even give Ling Zhengyue and Zhao Guodong a time to figure out and adapt. This made both of them feel a little disappointed.
"The problem with Anyuan is that Andu is not as good as Andu, and Anyuan is unable to get rid of the current dilemma. No matter how Ningling's economy develops or surpasses Andu, it cannot change this situation, because Andu is the real core of Anyuan, and Ningling can only be regarded as Andong's core." Zhao Guodong felt that Ling Zhengyue seemed to have something to say tonight, so he was not perfunctory, "I believe the central government can see it at this point."
Ling Zhengyue nodded slightly. Zhao Guodong's vision was quite accurate, and he also had the demeanor of being able to take on and let go. He did not forget that Ningling surpassed Andu this year. At this point, it was much clearer than some people who thought that Ningling surpassed Andu and believed that Ningling would replace Andu and became the center of new economic development.
