In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

Seeing this, Wu Shenghua moved closer to the microphone.

"Secretary Chen, there is no problem with expelling him from the Party and transferring him to the judicial authorities."

However… since Comrade Li Bin says he bears leadership responsibility, shouldn't Comrade Li Bin also be disciplined?

As he spoke, Wu Shenghua looked at Li Bin with a smile, raising an eyebrow, implying that he had delivered himself into the line of fire.

Both men were members of the provincial party committee standing committee and secretaries of prefecture-level city party committees, and their terms of office were almost simultaneous.

The next job adjustment is highly competitive, and they often engage in heated debates.

However, in most cases, Wu Shenghua is weaker.

Now that the opportunity has come, he definitely wants to seize it!

Secretary Chen and Governor Qin exchanged a glance, both seeing the word "speechless" clearly in each other's eyes.

Grasshoppers really are jumping around happily in autumn...

"Comrade Shenghua, no one is perfect. Comrade Li Bin was able to promptly discover the corruption among the team members."

They are able to conduct investigations and prosecutions with an iron fist.

Able to regulate people within a single day!

Putting everything else aside, this alone deserves praise!

“Secretary Chen…but…”

"No buts. Since no one has any objections, let the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection expel Huang Benwei and Lu Xiaojun from the Party and remove them from their posts. After that, they can be transferred to the judicial authorities!"

With a decisive move, Secretary Chen proved to be no weakling!

"Let's move on to the second topic!"

As he spoke, Secretary Chen stood up and gave up his seat.

"Minister Chen, Director Jia, you may come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Chen Luo and Jia Renli walked into the conference room unhurriedly. Jia Renli was particularly serious, while Chen Luo had a forced smile.

In an instant, everyone was stunned. Except for Li Bin, who knew in advance, everyone else tensed up.

"Comrades, I've been in Guizhou Province for several days now, and this is the first time I'm meeting you all. It hasn't been easy!"

After Chen Luo finished speaking, Jia Renli continued, "It seems like everyone isn't very welcoming of our inspection team's arrival. They all have stiff faces. Please, give us a smile!"

Everyone remained silent.

They all knew that Chen Luo and Jia Renli couldn't have come without a reason, and without giving any prior notice.

There is only one truth: some of them will be taken away by the inspection team today.

"Comrade Renli, perhaps it's because none of you here like to smile. You should know that, after all, you all knew each other when you worked in Guizhou Province a few years ago."

This is true. For example, Wu Shenghua was only the secretary of the autonomous prefecture a few years ago, a position equivalent to a department-level official.

"Secretary Chen, times have changed!"

People can change. They used to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but now they may have become corrupt.

The changes are too great; I can't jump to conclusions.

"The changes are significant, but the underlying nature remains the same; it's just that the power is better concealed when it's slightly less."

When people have a lot of power, they become arrogant and unscrupulous, even openly clamoring!

"You agree, right, Comrade Wu Shenghua?"

The moment his name was called, Wu Shenghua's brain went blank. He felt dizzy and almost couldn't sit still.

Silence, absolute silence!

Apart from the breathing of the crowd, the only other sound in the room was the approaching footsteps at the door.

Three more people came in, and among them was Old Zhao!

After flashing his bright white teeth at Wu Shenghua, Old Zhao handed the materials in his hand to Chen Luo.

Chapter 546 Different Identity, Different Responsibilities

However, Lao Zhao's lack of surprise does not mean that Wu Shenghua can remain calm.

"It's you!"

Wu Shenghua suddenly stood up, staring wide-eyed at Lao Zhao. At that moment, he felt his face burning. Just a few hours ago, Lao Zhao thought he could crush him at will, but now he was standing in front of him with this new identity.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Luo couldn't help but feel curious.

"Comrade Qigang, you know Wu Shenghua?"

Old Zhao dared not refuse to answer Chen Luo's question.

"Leader, it's all a coincidence. We rushed back from Bishi this morning, and it just so happens that Wu Shenghua also took the high-speed train to attend the meeting."

We were in the same carriage, and I wasn't sure if Wu Shenghua was just being arrogant or if he was just asking for trouble.

He actually demanded that I give up my seat near the front for him; of course, I wouldn't agree to such an unreasonable request.

Hearing this, Chen Luo raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"and then?"

"Then this Secretary Wu used his status and position to threaten me."

They asked me on the spot which unit I worked for and what my name was. And let me tell you, if it were anyone else, they would have backed down. After all, he's a deputy provincial-level official; not someone you can afford to offend.

Hearing this, Chen Luo handed the documents in his hand to Jia Renli, asking him to open and review them. He then rested his hands on the table and looked at Wu Shenghua with a smile.

"I didn't realize you had such a bossy attitude. Ordinary people can't even sit in front of you, right?"

Wu Shenghua wanted to explain, but given the overwhelming headwinds, he had no chance at all!

Who here isn't a shrewd person?

From the moment Wu Shenghua's name was mentioned, everyone could guess that the inspection team's real target was Wu Shenghua!

"Well, Wu Shenghua, I didn't expect you to still be so incorrigible. You used to do this all the time when you were the secretary of the autonomous prefecture. When reporters were taking group photos, or when ordinary people stood in front of you to take a picture, you would chase them away!"

Now it's even more incredible!

The fact that Director Zhao of the inspection team is sitting quietly in his seat can make you unhappy. Are you trying to highlight your authority as a deputy provincial-level official?

Do you think I'm suitable for the position of deputy secretary?

If you're okay with this, you can sit down. I'm fine standing. I won't say anything.

If you think the position of deputy secretary is too low, then ask Governor Qin or Secretary Chen.

I see you have the guts and the wolfish ambition to sit in the positions of the two leaders!

The first to launch an attack was the full-time deputy secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee.

The secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission followed closely behind.

"Wu Shenghua! Your personal issues should not be underestimated! The comrades of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have received a lot of reports against you."

However, due to a lack of evidence, I have been holding back from reporting it to the higher-level discipline inspection commission.

It now appears that this is not just a minor issue; it is essential to report your disciplinary and legal violations to Minister Chen and Director Jia of the inspection team!

If Wu Shenghua had nothing to say about the deputy secretary's attack, then the discipline inspection secretary's words were utter nonsense! After all, he had actually driven away ordinary people before…

Honestly, does he have a problem? Yes!

But was the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission truly unaware of the situation?

It's definitely an act. The secretary of the discipline inspection commission is close to retirement age and didn't want to cause any trouble, so he turned a blind eye. Now he's trying to pin all the blame on himself.

I feel so wronged, so extremely wronged!

Wu Shenghua glanced at Jia Renli and Chen Luo, clenching his teeth, but unfortunately, neither of them showed any expression.

Wu Shenghua then looked at the governor and the party secretary.

Qin Bingjun and Secretary Chen also chose to ignore it.

"Hehehe, so only I have a problem? You're only investigating me?"

Minister Chen, Director Jia, now I understand. I probably won't be able to leave the Provincial Party Committee today.

Even if I die, I want to die knowing why. My financial problems are serious, but they don't warrant you two having to go through all that trouble.

Who is trying to frame me? I don't want to die a fool!

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo raised his hand, signaling Wu Shenghua to shut up.

"What are you yelling about? You're not innocent!"

The organization appointed you as a member of the Standing Committee of Guizhou Province and secretary of Bishi City because they trusted you.

I trust you to lead the millions of people in the mountainous areas of Bishi out of poverty and into prosperity, overcoming all difficulties.

But what have you done?

The eight-lane road that was reported to the National Development and Reform Commission has been turned into a six-lane road by you!

The amount of money involved in this corruption and the losses it caused are so great that even being executed wouldn't be an exaggeration!

Furthermore, you are unwilling to do any dirty or hard work in implementing Zhongyang's policies, and you openly proclaim that the debt was owed by your predecessor and has nothing to do with you.

Let me tell you! It's true that the debt was incurred by your predecessor, but your position is the Party Secretary of Bishi City!

You have a responsibility and obligation to push Bishi forward, instead of avoiding difficulties and making public clamor!

The organization can tolerate your efforts going unrewarded, but it absolutely cannot tolerate you sitting idly by and turning a blind eye to rampant corruption!

"Minister Chen... but the debt really wasn't incurred by me... I still refuse to accept this!"

Wu Shenghua was exceptionally stubborn, and tears even streamed down his face, sliding onto the table.

"Stop your crocodile tears! You shameless piece of trash, weren't you quite capable when you were trying to steal Director Zhao's seat?"

Chen Luo was too lazy to argue with him any further. He would say the same thing: the organization may pretend not to see the dirty work behind your back, but at this time you have to do your job well.

If you can't do either of those things well, then the organization's tolerance has its limits. If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who can!
