Nominal: The Handong Game, the Energy System's Counterattack

The Standing Committee members present here are probably quite familiar with Qi Tongwei's situation.

Anyway, apart from Gao Yuliang and Su Zhenzhong, the commander of the provincial military region, everyone else laughed to some extent when they heard that Li Dakang was going to vote for Qi Tongwei to be a model worker at the grassroots level in the countryside.

Seeing that the effect was so good, Li Dakang glanced at Gao Yuliang next to him and continued to make fun of Qi Tongwei.

"I have no misunderstandings about Comrade Qi Tongwei."

"I can say with absolute certainty that this comrade rose to his position solely through flattery and praise."

Let me give you an example.

"Back then, I worked in the Secretariat of the Municipal Party Committee..."

"Secretary Dakang, please be more specific."

"At that time, you were the secretary of Zhao Lichun, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee."

Gao Yuliang knew what Li Dakang wanted to say, and interrupted him with a dark face, reminding him to consider the feelings of his old leader, Zhao Lichun.

However, Li Dakang chuckled and said, "There's nothing to hide."

"As everyone knows, I was a secretary at the municipal party committee at the time, and Comrade Qi Tongwei was the director of the political security department of the public security bureau."

"At that time, Comrade Zhao Lichun was going back to his hometown to pay respects at his ancestors' graves, and Comrade Qi Tongwei and I accompanied him."

"Comrade Qi Tongwei is really capable of doing this. He knelt down at the Zhao family's grave."

"He was really crying; snot and tears were streaming down his face."

"I don't know what Secretary Dakang is trying to say by crying at the grave?"

Li Dakang got carried away and raised his right hand to continue, but was interrupted by Gao Yuliang.

At this moment, Gao Yuliang's expression was the same as that of the other Standing Committee members, with a smile on his face, but the smile was very stiff.

"Saying Qi Tongwei is a bad guy? Should he be dragged out and shot?"

"Heh, it can't be that bad, hahaha."

After being challenged by Gao Yuliang, Li Dakang realized that he had gone too far and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"It's not that bad, it's not that bad." Seeing that Li Dakang was being held back by Gao Yuliang, Sha Ruijin immediately spoke up to help him out.

"Lenin did say that all those who boast and flatter should be dragged out and shot."

"But that was just said in anger. In the history of the international communist movement, there has never been a practice of executing sycophants."

"So, our Director Qi is not in any danger."

Seeing Sha Ruijin help Li Dakang out of a tight spot, Tian Guofu, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, jokingly played along.

This remark made most of the Standing Committee members laugh.

However, Governor Liu did not laugh, Executive Vice Governor He Zhenhui did not laugh, and Zhou Chuyi did not laugh.

Zhou Chuyi didn't laugh because he didn't particularly like the current Director Qi.

However, he still felt somewhat sorry for Qi Tongwei's fate.

He also observed that Su Zhenzhong, the commander of the provincial military region, did not smile; instead, he looked rather serious.

Governor Liu didn't laugh because he realized that the newly arrived provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin, actually had some tricks up his sleeve.

I originally thought he would directly use the matter of the No. 116 wind factory to reprimand Li Dakang.

Unexpectedly, he glossed over the matter of the No. 116 wind factory so lightly that Li Dakang felt left unsatisfied.

Instead, this incident was used to expose the problem of official corruption.

The exemplary figure cited was the Organization Minister of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

The goal of putting Li Dakang in his place was achieved effortlessly, and the mass incident at the 116 wind factories was still under control, yet the threat remained unfulfilled.

It can be said that Sha Ruijin has a very good grasp of the situation. Now, Li Dakang doesn't dare to refute Sha Ruijin's words at all in the Standing Committee meeting.

Therefore, Governor Liu realized that this Sha Ruijin was quite capable.

Everyone noticed that Li Dakang was quite uneasy, constantly observing Sha Ruijin's actions.

Now Sha Ruijin has directly brought up Qi Tongwei again, and everyone knows who this target is.

Li Dakang, who was feeling conflicted, naturally wanted to provide a barrage of criticism to divert everyone's attention when he saw Secretary Sha Ruijin targeting Gao Yuliang.

Seeing that most of the Standing Committee members were making fun of Sha Ruijin and Li Dakang for their disciple Qi Tongwei, the deep-thinking Gao Yuliang already felt a sense of crisis.

He immediately corrected everyone: "Today is the Standing Committee meeting, and one of the agenda items is to discuss cadre personnel matters."

"At this time, I think it's biased to make such a comment about our Public Security Bureau Chief."

"Secretary Dakang just said that he personally witnessed Qi Tongwei crying at the grave. That's possible, and I don't deny it."

"Really, but have you ever considered that this Director Qi might have been reminded of a relative of his by the sight of this place?"

"Or perhaps it was around that time that a relative of his had just passed away?"

"That's possible. Have you looked into it?"

Gao Yuliang's question was raised in tone considerably.

The previously cheerful atmosphere in the venue suddenly turned quite somber.

After all, he was the third most powerful person in Handong, and his anger still carried some weight.

Just like in the TV series, he forcefully defended Qi Tongwei.

Zhou Chuyi had read many analyses of this Standing Committee meeting from later generations and knew how Gao Yuliang could effectively defend Qi Tongwei.

The most effective way to say this is that the place is not far from where his comrades sacrificed their lives during the anti-drug campaign, and Qi Tongwei was reminded of the place by the sight.

If this is said out loud, Li Dakang will say that crying at a grave is not a stain, but rather an asset.

With the greater good at stake, no one dared to bring up his crying at the grave again.

However, he won't stand up and say it.

Seeing Gao Yuliang staring at him, Li Dakang glanced awkwardly to the left and right, then smiled.

"I actually did look into it." Since Li Dakang dared to bring up Qi Tongwei's crying at the grave here, he must have been prepared.

"As far as I know, his parents are both alive and well; his family is known for its longevity."

"Ah, hahaha..."

Upon hearing Li Dakang's words, Sha Ruijin burst into laughter.

The other standing committee members also joined in the laughter.

The person who knows you best may not be your friend or your teacher.

The person who knows you best is probably your opponent.

Li Dakang and Gao Yuliang have been fighting for so many years. Gao Yuliang may not know that Qi Tongwei's family is a long-lived family, but Li Dakang does.

"You actually did some research?" Gao Yuliang was somewhat surprised by Li Dakang's words and could only laugh awkwardly along with everyone else.

However, he couldn't let Qi Tongwei's reputation be ruined at this meeting.

"Okay, even so, so what?"

"Which article of Chapter D, and which clause of the national law, did Director Qi violate?"

"Or rather, which aspect of the regulations governing the appointment of cadres?"

Knowing that the incident of crying at the grave had greatly damaged Qi Tongwei's personal reputation, and that was a fact, Gao Yuliang could not refute Li Dakang's claims.

He directly refuted the claim from the perspective of Party discipline and national law.

After all, Qi Tongwei's crying at the grave was, in a way, a personal matter and shouldn't be elevated to the level of condemning an official.
