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

Wu Xiongfei directly defined Li Dakang's instruction to apportion funds as a violation of discipline and law, leaving the Jingzhou officials present stunned.

Since Li Dakang became the Party Secretary of Jingzhou, he has been present at numerous cadre meetings, both large and small, in Jingzhou.

No one had ever dared to speak of Li Dakang like that before; they never expected it, especially Mayor Wu Xiongfei, who had always been relatively unknown.

At this meeting to address the aftermath of the January 16 Incident, Li Dakang was shown no leniency and was subjected to such severe criticism.

However, Wu Xiongfei's criticism was reasonable and well-founded, leaving Li Dakang speechless for a moment. His face turned pale and then red, and his powerful aura was actually suppressed by Wu Xiongfei.

He served as a local official for many years and was good at coordinating economic development, but he was not proficient in the intricacies of commercial law and financial discipline.

Once power is in hand, orders are issued.

He once said that anything not prohibited by law is permissible.

His directives are always successful as long as they are for the sake of GDP and political achievements.

No one ever stood up to oppose his orders.

He started imposing quotas in Jinshan County, so how is that a violation of discipline and law?

In order to quickly resolve the problems at Dafeng Factory, Li Dakang took some money from the government to resettle the people. What's wrong with that?

He didn't take a single penny for himself.

Violating procedures, and breaking the law?

What gives Wu Xiongfei the right to do this? How dare he do it?

Li Dakang stared intently at Wu Xiongfei. Today, Wu Xiongfei made him feel incredibly unfamiliar and frustrated.

He felt as if he were still in the provincial party committee's standing committee meeting, being criticized by Governor Liu and Gao Yuliang with their heads held high.

By the way, Governor Liu!

Li Dakang realized that it was Governor Liu who gave Wu Xiongfei such confidence.

"Violated procedures? Violated the law?" Li Dakang asked rhetorically, enunciating each word clearly.

"Whether I, Li Dakang, violated procedures or broke the law is none of your business, Wu Xiongfei's business."

Li Dakang sat down directly, but the way he looked at Wu Xiongfei was completely condescending.

"Since you, Wu Xiongfei, became the mayor of Jingzhou City, you haven't done anything at all."

"Besides stamping and signing documents, all I did was go to the Party school to study."

"I am the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, not you, Wu Xiongfei!"

"The 6.8 million people of Jingzhou need to survive, develop, find employment, and eat. I am the primary person responsible, not you, Wu Xiongfei!"

"A mass incident occurred at Dafeng Factory, and I am primarily responsible. The provincial party committee will hold me accountable, not you!"

"The one who should be making a self-criticism at the Standing Committee meeting is me, not you!"

Li Dakang slammed his fist on the table, "The Guangmingfeng project cannot proceed until the problems at Dafeng Factory are resolved."

"The responsibility for impacting the overall economic development of the city is not something that you, Wu Xiongfei, should bear."

"I, Li Dakang, will take on this responsibility!"

Li Dakang directly brought up his identity and the overall development of Jingzhou City.

This indicates that Li Dakang is the top leader of the entire Jingzhou City.

Li Dakang shouldered everything himself, and Wu Xiongfei was not qualified to criticize him.

When Li Dakang slammed his fist on the table in anger, he still exuded considerable power.

Other cadres in Jingzhou City were also silenced by Li Dakang's words, and could only exchange furtive glances.

Now that the top two leaders of the municipal party committee are fighting, none of them dare to say a word.

Wu Xiongfei was so angry at Li Dakang's eloquent speech that he trembled all over.

He wanted nothing more than to rush up and give Li Dakang a shove. Why couldn't he accomplish anything in Jingzhou?

Why did he go to study at the Party school? Wasn't it all your fault, Li Dakang?

Now you're using your lack of achievements as an excuse, it's all just a way of saying Li Dakang is awesome, isn't it?

He took a deep breath and slowly sat down.

"Yes, Secretary Li, you are the top leader of Jingzhou City. The development of the entire Jingzhou City depends on your leadership. You have the highest power in Jingzhou City."

"But power comes with responsibility, and responsibility demands accountability!"

"A mass incident occurred at Dafeng Factory. The provincial party committee held those responsible accountable, and emergency measures were taken."

"But is it responsible of you to distribute the resettlement funds for the Dafeng Factory employees in a way that you can easily apportion?"

"The Guangming District Finance Bureau and Housing and Construction Bureau share the costs, and the Finance Bureau coordinates the overall budget. Tell me, what will they do when the year-end audit comes?"

"Is your idea of ​​taking responsibility to solve everything yourself and then leave all the blame to our other cadres?"

"You're the leader, but you can't lead everyone to break the rules!"

"How dare you!" Li Dakang slammed his hand on the table.

"You're so arrogant!" Wu Xiongfei slammed his fist on the table, refusing to back down an inch.

"Ding Yizhen fled abroad, and the January 16 Incident is still fresh in our minds. As the top leader, have you learned from this lesson? Have you summarized your experiences?"

"Li Dakang, as the Party Secretary of the city, have you led your team well?"

"Your instructions showed a bad trend, and I reminded you in time, but you said I was not qualified to judge."

"Let me tell you, your current state of mind is dangerous, you even..."

"What do you mean, 'explain yourself'?" Li Dakang slammed his fist on the table again.

"You even want to use the public security's stability maintenance fund," Wu Xiongfei said, pointing at Li Dakang.

"Do you, Secretary Li, know that the Municipal Public Security Bureau's stability maintenance funds are special funds allocated by the national and provincial finance departments, and there are strict regulations on the use of these funds for their designated purposes?"

"The budget is limited to expenses incurred by the public security authorities in performing their statutory duties, such as handling mass incidents, patrol and prevention, emergency security, and case handling."

"Laws, discipline, and auditing regulations have repeatedly emphasized that the misappropriation of special funds for maintaining stability is strictly prohibited."

"In front of so many officials, you still want the Public Security Bureau to use stability maintenance funds to fill the gap in the resettlement of enterprise employees, which is a misappropriation of special fiscal funds."

"The audit has come, the disciplinary inspection team has come, but who will take responsibility?"

"Hmph, in the end, the police didn't have to pay, did they?" Li Dakang glanced at Luo Junzhen sitting there, unconcerned.

"That's because the current police chief isn't Zhao Donglai, but Director Luo."

"It's because Director Luo insisted on his principles and didn't give Secretary Li the opportunity to allocate funds."

"Do you still want Zhao Donglai as the Public Security Bureau Chief of Jingzhou City? Will he oppose your instructions, Li Dakang?"

"If you ask me, he won't just settle for those 45 million like that, will he?"

"Then, when the higher-ups investigate, just like today, Zhao Donglai was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission."

"Will Director Luo be held accountable? If the audit fails, will Director Wang and Director Qian be held accountable?"

"You solved the problem, but you pushed your comrades to the edge of the disciplinary red line."

"If something goes wrong, the other comrades will take the blame, but you, Secretary Li, will still sit in the main seat and issue orders to everyone?"

"You..." Li Dakang pointed at Wu Xiongfei, his hand trembling.

However, Wu Xiongfei ignored him and continued speaking.

"Ding Yizhen, former deputy mayor of Jingzhou City, and Zhao Donglai, former director of the Public Security Bureau."

"One is the embodiment of you, Li Dakang, and the other follows your lead without question, Secretary Li, and listens to you in everything."

"Now one has fled abroad, and the other has been taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation."

"We don't know what they did, but the current situation proves that something is wrong with them."

"How did the problem arise?"

"Are your instructions wrong, and I can't say so?"

"Do you want to end up like Ding Yizhen and Zhao Donglai, becoming the next people taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission?"

Wu Xiongfei pointed to the other cadres from Jingzhou City, and then pointed to Director Qian of the Finance Bureau.

"Director Qian, how do you explain the 20 million figure during the year-end audit?"

"And you, Director Wang, what does the Dafeng Factory incident have to do with you?"
