Ever since Zhang Yonghong's incident last time, Li Jingyi has suspected that it was Lin Hao's doing.
This time, Director Wang has another incident, and it happened right after falling out with him, making it hard not to suspect him.
However, to others, Lin Hao seems like a scapegoat.
Because certainly many people wanted Director Wang to step down, and it's quite normal for them to take this opportunity to mess with him from behind, only that Lin Hao ends up taking the blame.
In fact, everyone is smart. Collecting all that dirt on Director Wang isn't something that can be achieved in a few days.
Lin Hao just recently fell out with Director Wang, so how could he possibly have gathered so much dirt in such a short time?
Of course, Lin Hao precisely took advantage of this mindset of most people and had Ling Feng make a move to directly take down Director Wang.
At nine-thirty, Li Jingyi chaired an expanded party committee meeting.
Unexpectedly for Lin Hao, his father-in-law, People's Congress Chairman Su Dingfang, actually attended the meeting in person.
The two exchanged no words, just nodded to each other in greeting and then sat down.
Thinking back to when his father-in-law was away, he had thoroughly indulged in mischief with his 'mother-in-law', playing not only bubble bath waterbed games but also bondage games, bringing an inexplicable thrill and excitement.
Su Dingfang had no idea his son-in-law had cuckolded him, and his return this time was to settle things concerning Luo Zhijun.
Su Muchen demanded a divorce, yet Luo Zhijun kept dragging it out, which was absolutely not good for the soon-to-be-promoted Su Muchen.
Luo Zhijun made a request for Su Dingfang to transfer him back to the city to avoid suffering in the rural towns.
In truth, Luo Zhijun is quite a schemer; he knows that once leaving the county seat, returning would be as hard as climbing to heaven.
Now this is the only card he can play, so he uses it to blackmail Su Dingfang into finding a way to get him transferred back.
Li Jingyi chaired the meeting to mainly convey the spirit of yesterday's meeting, the speeches from higher-level leaders, and study the nation's leader's sayings.
When it was Lin Hao's turn to speak, he proposed the idea of holding a battery conference county-wide to empower enterprises, which was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
Next, People's Congress Chairman Su Dingfang also spoke, primarily making some reflections on recent events, explaining that the People's Congress hadn't been fulfilling its duties, all bureaucratic jargon.
Finally, with a shift in tone, he said, "Although many comrades made some small mistakes, our organization should adhere to the principle of curing the disease to save the patient, giving them more opportunities to reform…"
"Director Su is right. Who doesn't make mistakes? Take the case of Zhou Banghuai and Qin Ming, they are the main culprits and must be severely punished, but some comrades were implicated. I think we should give light punishment as a big warning, so as not to chill their hearts!" County CPPCC Chairman Xu Tingguang chimed in.
"Secretary Li, to be honest, people like Zhou Banghuai are corrupt and lawless, leaving the frontline comrades angry but afraid to speak. Many have been forced to follow suit. I think we can be lenient!" Propaganda Minister Chen Peiyu also spoke.
Seeing this situation, Li Jingyi felt something was amiss and turned to Su Dingfang, asking sharply, "Director Su, what small mistakes are you referring to? And who do you mean by 'them' who should be given a chance for rehabilitation?"
Su Dingfang didn't expect Secretary Li to ask so directly and blushed, explaining, "Secretary Li, after a big earthquake in our Wucheng County, we should focus on stability and unity. I personally feel that as long as we bring a few major offenders to justice, we can be lenient with the small fry and give them a way to survive."
"Director Su, if our county's cadres make mistakes, it's natural for the organization department to give appropriate punishment. From the current handling situation, I believe the organization department hasn't done anything wrong." Li Jingyi looked at Organization Minister He Wulin.
Minister He, seeing the cue to him, quickly stood up and said, "Secretary Li, Director Su, we adhere to the cadre management punishment regulations and the party disciplinary regulations in handling errant cadres in the county, with approval from higher authorities. I trust it's reasonable, lawful, and compliant, without the slightest favoritism or bias, punishing lightly for heavy crimes or heavily for light crimes!"
His righteous words were emphatic and completely shut down what Su Dingfang and others were trying to say.
"Director Su, do you think our handling of some party members and cadres was too harsh?" Li Jingyi looked coldly at Su Dingfang.
"No, absolutely not. I went away for medical treatment due to health issues recently and wasn't aware of many things. Since Minister He says so, then surely there's no problem." Su Dingfang quickly took the opportunity to backtrack.
"It'd better be that way!" Li Jingyi ended the topic.
She scanned around the room with icy, piercing eyes, displaying unprecedented assertiveness.
"Next, we'll discuss the selection of two deputy county governor candidates..." Li Jingyi said, pausing to give Su Dingfang a meaningful look.
That's when Su Dingfang remembered his daughter Su Muchen's nomination for deputy county governor and immediately regretted his rashness earlier. If it aroused Li Jingyi's dissatisfaction, his daughter's promotion would be difficult.
Organization Minister He Wulin, catching Li Jingyi's signal, continued, "This time, we've nominated comrades Su Muchen and Zhou Chenghua as deputy county governors for our Wucheng County. The resumes of the two comrades are as follows..."
This is part of the organization process and a necessary procedure. After all, once someone is nominated, some of the committee members don't know the person's background, so it makes sense to introduce the comrades first.
"Comrade Su Muchen is currently the director of Wucheng County Finance Bureau, engaged in financial work. After the previous director was arrested for embezzlement and bribery, the organization investigated Comrade Su Muchen and found no evidence of her collusion, proving that she stood up to the organization's test..."
"Comrade Zhou Chenghua is the current director of Wucheng County Education Bureau, engaged in education work with very rich experience. The organization's review found no evidence of embezzlement, bribery, or abuse of power by Comrade Zhou Chenghua..."
Organization Minister He Wulin elaborated, and everyone was understandably aware.
Lin Hao squinted his eyes, observing the expressions on the faces of those present, hoping to spot something unusual. Unfortunately, everyone present was an old fox, showing no change on their faces, seemingly detached from the situation.
Logically, with two deputy county governor positions up for grabs, there should be contention, yet today's meeting proceeded unexpectedly smoothly, passing with complete consensus.
