After scanning the venue, Ding Guoming said to Lei Teng and Cui Hongri: "Two leaders, four participants were absent. Municipal Party Secretary Ding Ying was on a business trip, Mayor Fu Lin Kaibao asked for leave for personal purposes, Mayor Fu Chen Maoyun and member of the negotiation team Gu Guangming were absent for no reason."

Lei Teng still didn't say anything, Cui Hongri frowned. Chen Maoyun and Gu Guangming were both members of the negotiation team. Didn't they clearly sign the contract in the morning?

"Ding Guoming, Chang Ning, what's going on?" Cui Hongri asked.

Ding Guoming pushed everything, "Governor Cui, Chen Maoyun is Mayor Fu, Mayor Chang should know where he is going. Gu Guangming is a member of the negotiation team. Where has he been? Ma Zhong, the leader of the negotiation team, should know."

Mayor Fu Ma Zhong heard this and was about to get up, but Chang Ning stopped him with a look.

Chang Ning looked at Ding Guoming with a smile, "Secretary Ding Fu, Mayor Chen Maoyun's father suddenly fell seriously ill. I approved him to go back to Xijiang Province to visit. Isn't that okay?" Chang Ning lied and did not blush at all, and was relieved because Chen Maoyun's father was paralyzed in bed a few years ago. It was not a curse to say that he was seriously ill.

After being stunned, Ding Guoming hurriedly said, "Oh, I don't know, of course, you are the acting mayor and have the right to approve a mayor to ask for leave."

"Then I ask you, how did you prove that Mayor Lin Kaibaofu took leave?"

Ding Guoming said: "Mayor Lin Kaibaofu asked me for leave."

Chang Ning asked in confusion: "Is it reasonable to say that Mayor Fu does not go to work to do private affairs and does not ask for leave from the mayor?"

"Mayor Chang, Comrade Lin Kaibao is still a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Secretary Ding is not here. I, Secretary Fu, can give him a leave." Ding Guoming was unhappy.

"Bang." Chang Ning lowered his face and slapped the table heavily.

The air in the conference room suddenly solidified.

"Director Mo, Lin Kaibao went out privately. Have you registered with the Municipal Government Office?" Chang Ning asked at Mo Liqun.

Mo Liqun hurriedly stood up and said, "Reported to Mayor Chang, there is no record of Mayor Lin Kaibaofu filing with our municipal government office."

"How many days has he not come to work?"

"Well... today is the third day."

Chang Ning said coldly: "Director Mo, how is this stipulated in the work regulations of our municipal government?"

Mo Liqun said: "If you don't go to work for three days without reason, you will be criticized once for the administrative mistakes. If you deduct the bonus for that month, if you don't come to work for a week, you will be punished for expulsion."

"Okay, the prince is guilty of the law and is the same as the common man. Is it a mayor? It's nothing great, so I will follow the regulations."

Mo Liqun was also very "bad" and nodded and asked, "Do you want to execute it immediately?"

Chang Ning said with a tense face: "Go and do it now, but I can't do it. I'll let you, the director of the General Office of the Municipal Government, be laid off immediately."

After responding, Mo Liqun turned around and walked out of the conference room.

Ding Guoming jumped up in anger, "Chang Ning, what are you doing?"

"Haha..." Chang Ning was happy and lit a cigarette casually.

Governor Fu Cui Hongri couldn't stand it anymore. He frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by Lei Teng, who was next to him. He smiled silently and looked at the bickering between Chang Ning and Ding Guoming with interest.

Cui Hongri immediately understood what Lei Teng meant. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, yes, isn't this the beginning of the investigation work?

Ding Guoming said to Chang Ning: "Mayor Chang, don't forget that Comrade Lin Kaibao is a provincial-level cadre, and you have no right to punish him."

"Haha, is that right? As you say, no matter how Lin Kaibao is doing something wrong, I, Lin Kaibao's immediate boss, have no right to deal with him?" Chang Ning asked with a smile.

“That’s the case in principle.”

Chang Ning punched the table with his hand and stared at him and cursed, "Damn it, I warn you Ding Guoming, don't use principles to suppress me. According to the report of the Municipal Government Office, Lin Kaibao has left his job without authorization for a time and twice. According to statistics, Lin Kaibao was transferred to Ningzhou for less than eight months and took office, but he actually took off his post for 31 times for no reason. A total of 137 days. Dear Secretary Ding Fu, is such a person still a cadre of xx party members? Can he still serve the people wholeheartedly?"

Ding Guoming had a slight face and said in a distorted manner: "Comrade Lin Kaibao often doesn't come to work, but there is a reason. Many times, he is accepting Governor Zhu's entrustment, and he asks me for leave every time."

"Comrade Ding Guoming, today I can tell you clearly that even if I don't become the acting mayor tomorrow, I will deal with Lin Kaibao seriously. In addition, please stop using Governor Zhu to suppress me. In order to educate the majority of party members and cadres to work harder and serve the people better, even if Lin Kaibao is the son of the General Secretary or the Prime Minister, I will also announce the criticism and punishment of him in all media in Ningzhou City. At the same time, please tell Lin Kaibao that if he does not come to work again, I will ask the city ** to hold a meeting and remove him from his position as Mayor Fu."

Chang Ning spoke righteously, which made the conference room very terrible. Ding Guoming was stunned.

Finally, Cui Hongri spoke, "I'll tell you two, can you make arguing again when you go back?"

It's really embarrassing to make a big fuss in front of the central government and the province. It's okay for Chang Ning. He has always been used to being casual and does not matter whether it is time or occasion. But Ding Guoming is different. He regards himself as an intellectual. He has never been a behavior of losing his composure before.

At this time, Wang Banyue, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, asked: "This person is named Gu Guangming, and he is also a member of the negotiation team. Why didn't he come to attend the meeting?"

"I'll answer this question."

The person who spoke was Fang Hongjun, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee and Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Lei Teng nodded and smiled and said, "Oh, Comrade Red Army, you said."

"Not long ago, the Economic Investigation Detachment of our Municipal Public Security Bureau received a report that Gu Xiaobo, the former head of the Security Department of Ningzhou Iron and Steel Plant, brought people to steal the warehouse of Ningzhou Iron and Steel Plant. This Gu Xiaobo is Gu Guangming's nephew. After his explanation, the stolen equipment and instruments were hidden in Gu Guangming's home. The Economic Investigation Detachment suspected that the theft was related to Gu Guangming. After research and approval by the Party Committee of the Public Security Bureau, it was decided to ask Comrade Gu Guangming to assist in the investigation. Now, Comrade Gu Guangming should be on the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Fang Hongjun's words surprised everyone, especially Ding Guoming and Bai Tiexin, whose faces suddenly changed.

"So, it has nothing to do with the transfer of Ningzhou Steel Plant this time?" Lei Teng asked with a smile.

Fang Hongjun replied: "It shouldn't matter."

Lei Teng was so happy that it shouldn't matter, it must be related.

Ding Guoming and Bai Tiexin had nothing to say. The Public Security Bureau asked a department-level cadre to assist in the investigation, but no one had the right to interfere.

"Comrades, now the meeting is held." Governor Fu Cui Hongri stood up and glanced at the entire conference room with majestic eyes. "Call everyone here to inform you about one thing. The investigation team of the Central and Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, as well as the working group of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, came to your Ningzhou because we received a report. The Ningzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, during the transfer of Ningzhou Steel Plant, there were many violations of regulations and disciplines. In order not to cause irreparable losses to the state and the collective, the investigation team and the working group decided to stop the transfer of the Ningzhou Steel Plant and conduct an investigation. Please correct your attitude and cooperate with the investigation team and the working group. Now, please Comrade Lei Teng, member of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, read out the relevant decisions of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Lei Teng also stood up and read out a red-headed document routinely.

Then, Wang Banyue, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, stood up, with a blank expression on his face and holding a document in his hand.

"Next, I read out the decision of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. First, all members of the former Ningzhou Steel Plant Transfer Negotiation Group will suspend their work from now on and cooperate with the work of the investigation team at any time. Second, in view of the special relationship between Comrade Changning and Yalu Co., Ltd., Comrade Changning should avoid and cooperate with the work of the investigation team. Third, all members of the Ningzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government should actively cooperate with the work of the investigation team..."

After Wang Banyue finished speaking, it was Chen Nanping, the head of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government Working Group. He stood up and read a document jointly issued by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. The content was similar to what Wang Banyue read.

In the conference room, there was a dead silence at this moment.

Looking at Chang Ning again, he was calm. In fact, he was happy. So far, he was in his plan. How could he be unhappy?

It was Ding Guoming's turn to express his opinion, "Please rest assured, on behalf of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, I will unconditionally cooperate with the work of the investigation team and the working group."

Lei Teng looked at Chang Ning with a smile on his face, but in Chang Ning's eyes, it was obvious that there was a knife hidden in his smile.

Chang Ning shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened, "Team Leader Lei, don't look at me like this. I am reserved for your decision."

"Oh, why?"

"Aren't you going to implement 'double regulations' on them?"

Lei Teng smiled slightly and said, "Mayor Chang misunderstood. We just ask you to cooperate with the investigation."

"Team Leader Lei, you haven't explained to us why the investigation team and the working group were sent, and what is the basis for mobilizing so many people?"

Lei Tenghe said kindly: "The working group of your provincial party committee and government has nothing to do with our investigation team."

Chang Ning waved his hand rudely, "Team Leader Lei, I need your explanation. You are thousands of miles away from the capital and come to Ningzhou to investigate us. Do you have any evidence?"

"We have received a report, and someone has reported that during the transfer of Ningzhou Steel Plant in Ningzhou City, there is a situation where state-owned assets are sold at a low price."

Chang Ning glared at him. He didn't care about Lei Teng's identity and age. "Don't talk nonsense here. What I want is evidence, otherwise I'll just think you're farting."

Cui Hongri quickly shouted, "Chang Ning, don't be presumptuous." He winked at Chang Ning.

Lei Teng was unmoved, "Mayor Chang, do you really want evidence?"

"Haha, I never do bad things in my life, and I am not afraid of ghosts calling in the middle of the night. Don't think that you are from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. I am afraid of you. If you make up a law and frame me, I will make you unable to return to the capital by these dozens of kilograms of old bones."

As he said with a smile, Chang Ning stretched out his hand.
