Chapter 26: Balance and Compromise
Although Ye Ming was very reluctant to be Secretary Lu's secretary, he also understood: In the current dangerous situation, his father chose such a way to protect himself, and he was forced to make this decision. Therefore, I can't be dissatisfied with my father's hard work.
Therefore, he nodded and said, "Dad, I know that you are for my good." However, I still want to ask you for one thing: please take care of Jinqiao Group as much as possible and don't let it collapse. Although Jinqiao Group has some violations of laws and regulations, it has indeed made a lot of money. However, this is also the work of Kiki's father all his life. Moreover, many of the assets of Jinqiao Group were also earned through legal means, and not all of them were obtained from illegal profits. Chen Yuanqiao is just a businessman and does not mix in officialdom. Therefore, I would like to ask you to say hello to Secretary Wang Hao at the right time, or hint at him, and ask him to open up to Jinqiao Group and Chen Yuanqiao, and not to completely collapse it.
"My idea is that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection can thoroughly investigate She Chuming and punish him according to law. At the same time, for the projects of Jinqiao Group that are related to She Chuming and the money earned, they can be disposed of in accordance with the law, and the stolen goods should be returned and the fines should be fined. However, for the Jinqiao Group's projects that have earned money through normal channels and obtained through normal channels, it is best not to seal or confiscate them, and leave some money for the Chen family to let them leave Tianjiang and fly away. In this way, the tragic ending of the Chen family's ruin can be avoided-"
As soon as he said this, Secretary Lu interrupted him and said very dissatisfiedly: "Ye Ming, do you still have such naïve thoughts now?" Can't you see the danger you're facing right now? I can tell you clearly: you are now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and you can't protect yourself! As for the Jinqiao Group, this time it must be a catastrophe: according to She Chuming's crime and the fact of Jinqiao Group's illegal profits, Chen Yuanqiao will definitely be punished by law.
Moreover, once such a case is decided, in addition to being sentenced, She Chuming and Chen Yuanqiao will definitely be sentenced to confiscate all their personal property, and Jinqiao Group will also be sentenced to a heavy fine. This fine, in my experience, will be at least hundreds of millions. You say: In this case, can Jinqiao Group still exist? Can Chen Yuanqiao's family still be safe?
"Of course, you are right, if I come forward to say hello to Comrade Wang Hao, he may buy my face out of various considerations, and maybe he can also save Chen Yuanqiao's family. But, I can't call this greeting - do you know what this is for? ”
Ye Ming heard Secretary Lu say categorically that he couldn't fight this greeting, knowing that Jinqiao Group and Chen Yuanqiao were in a catastrophe, his heart was anxious, and his mind was suddenly blank, where could he still think about Secretary Lu's question? just stared at Secretary Lu in a daze, with an expression of pain and disappointment on his face.
Seeing that he was distracted and behaving at a loss, Secretary Lu secretly sighed and continued: "Ye Ming, do you know that there is a principle of balance and compromise in the officialdom? I have saved you now, but at the same time, I must let Comrade Wang Hao investigate and deal with She Chuming and the Jinqiao Group according to his wishes, and this is a kind of balance and compromise. Why can't I intercede with Jinqiao Group again? Because on your issue, Wang Hao has already made a compromise with me, has let you go, showing that he has bought my face, and has also shown full respect for me, or rather, it shows his jealousy of me.
"In this case, I must also make concessions to him and show him respect, which is the principle of reciprocity in courtesy. You also know that Comrade Wang Hao is afraid of me and has no choice but to let you go, and he must be very angry and unwilling in his heart. Under the domination of this emotion, he was bound to vent all his anger and resentment on She Chuming and Chen Yuanqiao. If my expectations are correct, after you are released from examination, Comrade Wang Hao will definitely arrange another person to increase the intensity of She Chuming's interrogation, and he will definitely implicate Jinqiao Group and Chen Yuanqiao before he stops.
"In this situation, for the sake of balance and compromise, I must no longer come forward to intercede with the Jinqiao Group, and even I must express my support for Comrade Wang Hao's investigation and punishment of She Chuming and the Jinqiao Group. Only in this way can he let you go completely and stop dwelling on the problems between you and the Jinqiao Group. On the contrary, if I come forward to intercede with Jinqiao Group again, I will have to make inches, and I will use the authority of the provincial party secretary to suppress him and bully him. Once he had such thoughts, he would probably choose to fight me. When the time comes, your problem may be reopened, or even cause a stir - the consequences are very terrible. If such a situation occurs, not only will you be in danger, but even I will be implicated. Have you thought about such consequences? ”
Ye Ming listened to Secretary Lu's meaning, Jinqiao Group and Chen Yuanqiao had nine deaths and no life this time, and they couldn't help but feel sad, and the tears on their faces trickled down.
However, he also knew that his father's words were correct, and he was also heartfelt. As the secretary of the provincial party committee, most of the time he is in charge of cadres, and he is trying to balance and compromise. He had been able to extricate himself from that dangerous maelstrom this time, and he had done as much as he could. If he is asked to intercede with Wang Hao for the Jinqiao Group, first, he will not be able to save face, second, it is too risky to do so, and third, it is likely to cause a lot of contradictions and struggles. Therefore, he can no longer force him to save the Jinqiao Group.
However, despite this, Ye Ming was still unwilling and unbearable to let the Jinqiao Group be destroyed like this, especially when he thought of the tragic ending that Chen Mengqi might face, he felt like a knife, and felt that if he didn't work hard, he would have a restless conscience for the rest of his life.
So, he said to Secretary Lu with tears: "Dad, I know that you are in trouble, so I don't force you to save Jinqiao Group and Chen Yuanqiao." However, I still want to find Secretary Guo Guangwei. He is the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and the problems of the Jinqiao Group were not investigated and dealt with by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in the end. Because Chen Yuanqiao is not a public official, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection only has the power to make suggestions and provide clues about the crime, but does not have the power to investigate and deal with him. If you want to deal with Jinqiao Group and Chen Yuanqiao, you must still be investigated by the public security organs or the procuratorate at the end of the day. So, I thought—"
"Shut up!"
Before Ye Ming's words were finished, he was interrupted by Secretary Lu's angry roar: "Ye Ming, did you listen to my words?" Don't you know Lu Dao: The last time you bought land for Jinqiao Group, you almost killed Qingtao and Wang Xiuguang? Now you want to harm Guo Guangwei again? ”
