Chapter 21: Confrontations at the Conference
Inside the conference room.
As soon as Li Jingmin's voice fell, the scene immediately exploded.
Before this, everyone guessed that Li Jingmin was going to promote Kim Yunhao, but they never expected that Li Jingmin would actually promote Kim Yunhao to the third level at once. Is Li Jingmin crazy? actually promoted a newcomer so hard.
"I'm against it! The promotion of procurators mainly depends on the work performance of the person being promoted, may I ask Mr. Li Jingmin, what outstanding work performance does Kim Yunhao have that deserve to be promoted to the third level in a row? Zheng Maotian objected loudly.
Lee Kyung-min: "This is not an ordinary promotion, but compensation for Kim Yoon-ho." ”
Zheng Maotian: "Compensation? What about compensation? It is a great benefit to him to let Kim Yunhao go to the United States for 3 years to further his studies, which is his blessing, and others have not had this opportunity to study. What compensation is there to give him? ”
Li Jingmin: "Let's not talk about whether this matter is good or bad, but it is an indisputable fact that he has been delayed for promotion." Now Kim Yun-ho's level is too low, far below the graduates of the same period whose grades were not as good as his at that time. ”
Zheng Maotian: "Joke, people get promoted based on their work performance, what work performance does Kim Yunhao have, why did he promote him to three levels in a row?" If you follow your consciousness, we don't need to inspect the procurators in the future, and we will directly send them papers to take the exam, and whoever does well in the exam will be promoted. ”
Li Jingmin: "Messing around, these are two different things!" ”
Zheng Maotian: "It's not me who is messing around, it's you, promoting a probationary prosecutor to three levels in a row, and you can say such a ridiculous thing?" ”
Li Jingmin: "You..."
"Alright, both of you calm down." The chief minister persuaded and comforted Li Jingmin and Zheng Maotian, who were on the top of the bull, and then said to the others: "Everyone understands the matter, and the others also talk about their own opinions." ”
"I agree with Senior Inspector General Lee Kyung-min's proposal that Kim Yoon-ho should be compensated. If you owe others, you have to make up for their losses, which makes sense. ”
Choi Kwang-hyuk still strongly supported Lee Kyung-min and voted in favor.
He represents the interests of South Korea's SK Group, and SK Group is friendly with the Lotte Group represented by Lee Kyung-min, which is the real reason why he supports Lee Kyung-min.
"I object, there is no precedent for this kind of practice. If you really want to promote Kim Yun-ho by three levels in a row, it will make a big joke in the inspection system. ”
Another senior prosecutor general voted against. His name is Zheng Jiashi and he represents the interests of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group. Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hyundai Motor, represented by Zheng Maotian, share the same origin and were originally a family. Therefore, he stood firmly on Zheng Maotian's side.
Now, counting Li Jingmin's vote in favor and Zheng Maotian's vote against, it is currently 2:2, and the two sides are evenly matched.
Four other senior inspectors general did not say anything.
Each of the eight senior prosecutors at the scene represents the interests of a large South Korean consortium.
Lee Kyung-min represents Lotte Group, Choi Kwang-hyuk represents SK Group, and Lotte and SK are good friends, and the two of them often stand on the same front.
Zheng Maotian represents Hyundai Motor Group, and Zheng Jiashi represents Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, and the two of them are the other gang.
The remaining four also represent the group behind them.
"I'm against it." Senior prosecutor Gu Yongnian spoke.
"I'm against it too." Senior prosecutor Koo Tak Soon also voted against.
Gu Yongnian represents LG and Gu Deshun represents GS, and the two of them have always been wall-ridden. Now, seeing that Li Jingmin is about to retire, the prestige of the past will not last long, so he fell into the well and chose to stand on the side of Zheng Maotian, who is 'in the prime of life'.
4:2, Zheng Maotian's side was behind by two votes, and in the eight votes, half of the votes had already been taken, which was already invincible.
Li Jingmin had already expected the 'betrayal' of Gu Yongnian and Gu Deshun. The two of them are typical wall-to-wall grass, and it makes sense for them to choose so today.
What he values is the votes of the remaining two senior attorneys-general, and as long as he can get the support of the remaining two and get the vote to 4-4, he will have the means to win.
"I... Oppose. "Senior Attorney General Park Myung-heon, representing the interests of POSCO.
"I'm against it." Senior Inspector General Cho Yong-nam, representing the interests of the Hanjin Group.
Suddenly, both of them voted against. In the past, they worked well with Li Jingmin. But this is not the same as in the past, and Li Jingmin, who is about to retire, will soon lose his authority and lose the qualification to continue to cooperate with them.
The two of them chose to be with the strong.
The sudden reversal of Park Myung-hyun and Zhao Yong-nan caught Li Jingmin by surprise and surprise.
6:2, Zheng Maotian and others vetoed Li Jingmin's proposal with an absolute vote advantage, and also swept away the face of this once majestic senior prosecutor.
Zheng Maotian leaned comfortably on the chair and looked at his 'old partner' Li Jingmin with a smile, the two of them have been fighting for more than ten years, and finally split the victory and defeat today. Although he took advantage of the danger, he didn't care, all he wanted was the result of victory.
And today's win means a lot to him.
Today, he knocked out Li Jingmin's prestige, and when Li Jingmin retires, he will have no prestige at all. In this way, he can easily erase the traces left by Li Jingmin in the inspection system and completely eliminate Li Jingmin's power. So as to increase their prestige and increase their strength.
A simple personnel proposal, but behind it is a larger interest.
It's a pity that Zheng Maotian won, and he is proud at this time.
Compared with Zheng Maotian's spring breeze, at this time, Li Jingmin sat down on the chair dejectedly.
Defeated, with such a disparity of 6:2.
Before the start of the meeting, he was still scrappy and resourceful.
This time the level compensation proposal for Kim Yunhao, on the surface, seems to be to fulfill the promise of the Li family, but secretly, it is a bold attempt by Li Jingmin.
It seems impossible to promote Kim Yunhao to three levels in a row, but combined with Kim Yunhao's special situation, it is not completely impossible.
If the meeting adopts his 'exaggerated' proposal, it will bring him a very large follow-up influence, and his prestige will be in full swing. In the future, even if he retires, he will retain this prestige in the inspection system, leaving a small force for the Li family and Lotte in the inspection system.
He prepared a killer plan, as long as the vote can reach 4:4, he is sure to win, but although the plan is good, it is not as good as the reality of the people's hearts. The past feelings and previous cooperation experiences are not as good as the word 'reality'.
He knew the significance behind today's proposal, but his enemies knew it, and did it better than him.
6:2, a real defeat.
Kim Yun-ho, it's not that I don't fulfill my promises, it's God's will, it's reality!
Li Jingmin seems to have lost all his strength, no longer has the righteousness of the past, and no longer has the energy to 'fight hundreds of rounds' with Zheng Maotian.
Everything seems to be a foregone conclusion.
……
"Wait a minute!"
The Chief-in-Chief, presiding over the meeting, spoke.
The eight senior prosecutors looked at the chief secretary in unison and made an inquiring gesture.
"The result is already obvious. After our voting, with an absolute vote of 6:2, we rejected Li Jingmin's proposal. I don't know about you..."Zheng Maotian asked.
He didn't understand how a general secretary who didn't speak or express his position could speak at this time, and he had a vague bad feeling in his heart.
"Hehe, Senior Prosecutor General Zheng Maotian, please let me finish my words." The general secretary smiled kindly, then turned his head to look at the others, and said slowly: "My job is only to be responsible for presiding over the meeting, and the specific matters are decided by the eight of you." However, I have a different opinion on today's decision. ”
"But the second president, the voting results have come out, and the matter has become a foregone conclusion." Kim Yoon-ho's proposal for level compensation has been rejected by us. Zheng Maotian's uneasy mood became more and more serious, and he hurriedly made up his mind.
"Yes, the results are in. However, there is also such a clause in the constitution of the meeting: the general secretary is responsible for presiding over the meeting, and has no voting rights, only the right to supervise. However, in exceptional circumstances, the Deputy Secretary has the power to veto the results of the ballot and preside over a second ballot by the eight senior Attorneys-General. The chief secretary slowly read out a meeting rule.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
What is this going to do, Chief? Why did you suddenly use this right?
Although this right does not have a substantial right to vote, it has a huge impact. After the results of the second round of voting are available, if the Deputy Secretary of the General considers that the result is still open for discussion, he may report the matter to the Inspector-General, who will make a ruling, and if he agrees, he will implement it, and if he disagrees, he will reject it by one vote and reconvene the third ballot.
The appointment of a low-level prosecutor allowed the Undersecretary to use this power?
They couldn't figure out what the chief was crazy about and how he got to this point.
In the face of a sudden turnaround, Li Jingmin was rarely happy.
It seems that this confrontation has not yet come to an end, and he and Kim Yunhao still have a chance to win.
