Great Power Reclamation

Ye Mao could naturally see the attitudes of Wang Honghua and his second uncle. They hoped to enter the system, so Ye Mao naturally wanted to hear their ideas.

So Wang Honghua and Ye Yufan both expressed their attitudes, but their reasons were similar to what Ye Mao thought.

It’s simply that Ye Mao is very capable and will have greater development within the system.

Ye Mao and his generation have different ideas from their parents. To them, great principles and feelings are just preaching.

They are more inclined to pay attention to practical things, especially their own interests. This is not selfishness, but is caused by the current social situation.

For example, Western countries, because they are capitalist societies, will only support something if their own interests can be met.

Since the reform and opening up, China has actually been moving in this direction. There is nothing we can do about it. Without money, we can't do anything.

In the past, housing was divided, education was free, and medical care was life-saving. But all this has changed.

With the reform of the system, values ​​will naturally change. Even including the Corps, after the land contracting, everything needs money.

This also made Ye Mao and his generation understand the importance of money from an early age.

Therefore, he was able to happily accept his father's arrangement, and even felt since he was a child that taking over the Warrior Group was his mission.

But Wang Honghua and his second uncle's attitude today made him a little confused. His father had already made arrangements, so why were they still telling him these?

Did they have different opinions from my father? Or did they simply not discuss it with my father? Did they come to me directly?

Ye Mao just thought for a while, then said to Ye Yufan:

"Uncle, please discuss this with my father. If you agree, I will obey your arrangements."

The dinner was not sumptuous. Wang Honghua has always lived a simple life, with just a few ordinary dishes.

However, Ye Yufan understood that even ordinary dishes were not something he could eat easily, at least there would not be so many residues.

At this time, a very interesting thing happened in the Corps. The Northern Frontier Daily and the Corps Daily were reporting the same thing at the same time.

That is the news about the 17th Division’s release of agricultural water.

Everyone knows that the climate in northern Xinjiang is dry, especially in the southern region. The utilization rate of a canal that brings water from the river to farmland is less than half.

Most of the water is lost and evaporated along the way, which has always been a headache.

However, the 17th Division solved this problem. Although there were still some losses, they were basically negligible.

Everyone knows about the Karez, which was the best solution that the people of northern Xinjiang came up with in ancient times.

But this method cannot be replicated everywhere. Otherwise, the old leader would have built it on a large scale since he led his troops into Xinjiang.

The method that the 17th Division came up with was undoubtedly the most effective method. However, the protagonist of the report on the same incident was not the same person.

One report came from reporters of the 17th Division. They were mainly responsible for promoting the division commander Wei Changgeng, who went to the grassroots to personally solve problems and came up with solutions.

He also worked with the workers to renovate the canal. Of course, there are various scenes of him working barefoot with his trouser legs rolled up and a shovel in his hand together with the soldiers.

The other piece of news came from the grassroots level, which was a submission from a soldier of a company.

This is more comprehensive. The people reported here are Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong, who have been living and eating in the company and have fought with the soldiers for more than ten days.

Then the water problem of one regiment was completely solved, and solutions to the problem were pointed out to other regiments.

There is nothing wrong with these two news items, but the problem lies with the protagonist of this incident.

One is the division commander, and the other is Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong, the controllers of Liu Qinghua’s funds.

This matter would not be a big deal if no one was specifically investigating it. After all, there are so many news reports every day, but how many people really read them carefully?

They are used when needed, to commend or set up examples.

The incident happened to the editor-in-chief of a newspaper in Beijing. This publication is a large national publication and the editor-in-chief is very strict in reviewing manuscripts.

Because they will always pay attention to local publications and report on important things that are worth publicizing to expand their influence.

As a result, the manuscript about Wei Changgeng fell into his hands.

When he saw this manuscript, he was very happy and was ready to publish it. Then he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen a similar manuscript before.

So, he searched carefully and finally found the report about Ye Yuze and others.

To be honest, Ye Yuze is not very famous. One reason is that he is low-key, and the other is some special reasons.

So, most people know about the Warrior Group, but they don’t know who the CEO is? Because the names that appear most in the news are the names of the CEOs of various groups.

Therefore, many people regard the Warrior Group as a military enterprise and ignore the chairman.

The editor-in-chief read the two reports over and over for a long time, and naturally wanted to verify them.

So he called the two contributors separately, and they both assured him that their reports were first-hand information and their authenticity could be guaranteed.

The editor laughed immediately, and naturally he didn't try to find out anything else, because one of the two reports must be wrong.

The editor thought for a long time and suddenly had an idea. Since both were true, why not publish them together? As for the authenticity, let the Corps members identify it themselves.

In fact, the media is averse to doing things like this, as it is very frivolous, but this editor-in-chief is a person with some unconventional ideas.

He felt that this would instead attract public attention and encourage thinking, and perhaps uncover a deeper truth.

Soon, national publications simultaneously published two articles about the 17th Division's solution to the agricultural water problem.

But the news reported differently by the protagonist was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in the Corps and the entire northern Xinjiang region.

At the Corps headquarters, Ayijiang and Liu Junken sat in the office, their faces so gloomy that water could drip out of them.

On the desk, the newspaper with two reports on it was slammed.

Ayi Jiang, who usually has a gentle personality, glared at her:

"How shameless! One incident, two protagonists. This is blatantly treating the management of our regiment and the facts as a joke! We must investigate it thoroughly and give everyone an explanation."

Liu Junken nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a complex mixture of worry and anger:

"This is not only about personal honor, but also about the image and credibility of our Corps. It must be taken seriously." The leader of Northern Xinjiang Province, Ye Yuqi, who was nearby, was instantly ignited when he learned about this.

She has always been committed to creating a clean, pragmatic, and positive official and social atmosphere, and she will never tolerate such blatant reports that may distort the facts.

The relevant department heads were immediately summoned and an order for a strict investigation was issued:

"We must get to the bottom of this matter, and no matter who is involved, we must not tolerate it. What we want is the truth and a clean and healthy environment for development."

Although the Corps is also a provincial administrative unit and has a lot of autonomy, in principle, it is still under the jurisdiction and control of the province.

Especially in the area of ​​taxation and party affairs, Ye Yuqi himself serves as the political commissar of the Corps, and Ayijiang also holds a position in the province.

Therefore, when two people get angry, you can imagine the power they will cause.

In the 17th Division, when the division commander Wei Changgeng saw the newspaper, his heart skipped a beat and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

He knew that things might be beyond his control.

He thought that by promoting his solution to the agricultural water problem, he could add a highlight to his political achievements.

Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway through, and Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong's reports made things a mess.

He began to get restless and paced around the office, thinking about how to deal with what might happen next.

In fact, if he wanted to suppress the matter completely, it was not complicated for him. The matter happened in a group, and the people in the group would naturally listen to him.

The trouble lies with the soldiers below. They are not from the regiment headquarters, and they have been fighting with Ye Yuze and the others.

The entire canal was built by them together with Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong.

Wei Changgeng also made some contributions. After all, without his orders, there wouldn’t have been so many people coming to support the first company.

The mistake was that the reporter's article went astray, overemphasizing Wei Changgeng's contribution and completely ignoring Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong.

Even the fact that Liu Qinghua's fund invested was not mentioned, and the nature of the matter changed completely.

Wei Changgeng quickly called the regiment headquarters, and they assured him that they would handle the matter well.

When the people from the Youth League checked, they found out that the article reported was submitted by Wang Shilei.

This time they were a little conflicted. According to discipline, subordinates should obey their superiors, which is an iron rule, but did Wang Shilei really do anything wrong?
It was impossible to ask him to withdraw the manuscript. Moreover, Wang Shilei was currently preparing to take over the position of instructor, which would be troublesome.

An officer came to the group first and explained the matter in a veiled manner, but of course he could not say which leader had instructed it.

He was asked to write a letter to the newspaper to explain the situation, but Wang Shilei still hadn't agreed, and Wang Desheng became anxious.

As a veteran soldier of the Corps, how could he tolerate such a thing happening?

Then he told the company that the soldiers also refused to do it. It was true that they had strict discipline, but they also had a sense of right and wrong.

Ye Yuze invested so much money and did so much work, and now they want to completely erase his contribution, they can't do it!

The entire company was in an uproar, and even the people from other companies who had come to help quit.

When the group saw the situation, no one dared to look for Wang Shilei anymore.

At this time, the investigation team from the headquarters also came down to conduct a detailed investigation of the entire incident.

At the same time, Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong also learned about the report.

Yang Geyong was a little angry: "Isn't this confusing right and wrong? We worked hard at the grassroots level for more than ten days to solve the water problem, how come someone else took the credit for us?"

Ye Yuze was relatively calm. He gently patted Yang Geyong on the shoulder:

"Why are you so excited? We don't want to compete for any credit. We are just helping Lao Liu do something. But there is no need to indulge such a person who seeks fame and reputation. I believe the truth will come out soon."

As the investigation deepened, more and more details were uncovered. The investigators first went to the 1st Regiment of the 17th Division and found the soldiers and workers who participated in the renovation of the canal.

The soldiers were already very excited, but because of the suppression from the regiment headquarters, they did not cause any commotion.

Once the investigation team arrived, the truth was quickly revealed. Many of them had photos and videos.

These were all taken by Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong when they were working with them, from the beginning to the end of the project.

When the project was almost finished, Wei Changgeng only symbolically went to the site to pick up a shovel and take a few photos, and did not participate in the actual problem-solving process at all.

Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong lived and worked in the company from the very beginning, studying plans and carrying out on-site transformations with the soldiers. They were the key figures in truly solving the problems.

The investigators also visited relevant departments of the 17th Division and reviewed a large amount of information and work records, which further confirmed what the soldiers and employees said.

At the same time, they also found that in order to make himself the protagonist of the report, Wei Changgeng put pressure on the reporters of the 17th Division to highlight his role.

The truth gradually surfaced, and when the investigation results were presented to Ayijiang, Liu Junken and Ye Yuqi, their anger reached its peak.

Ayijiang immediately ordered severe punishment for Wei Changgeng, removed him from his position as division commander, and gave him a serious warning within the party.

She also stressed that such acts of fraud and deceiving superiors and subordinates are a blasphemy to the spirit of the Corps and must not be allowed to grow within the Corps.

Ye Yuqi also reported the incident to the whole province, and took this as an opportunity to launch a rectification campaign on work style and news authenticity.

She asked all officials to do their work in a down-to-earth manner and all media to uphold the principles of truthfulness, objectivity and fairness.

The Corps Headquarters gave high recognition and rewards to Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong.

They were invited to the Corps headquarters to receive a personal meeting with Ayijiang and Liu Junken.

Ayijiang held their hands tightly and said: "You are the pride of the Corps and the people who truly do practical things for the people. I hope you can continue to maintain this original intention and make greater contributions to the development of the Corps."

After this incident, the entire Corps and even the northern Xinjiang region received a profound education.

People have come to understand the importance of being down-to-earth and seeking truth from facts. The media industry has also begun to reflect on its own responsibilities and missions, and has paid more attention to the authenticity and seriousness of news.

This turmoil, which was triggered by a report, ended with the truth coming out and a profound social rectification.

It has removed obstacles for the healthy development of the region and laid a more solid foundation for future development, making this land glow with positive, pragmatic vitality. (End of this chapter)
