Qin Ge still didn't know that Wang Hai was going to take leave to be hospitalized, and he was taken aback when he heard what Secretary Lu said at this moment. However, he quickly came back to his senses and figured out the reason: this was Wang Hai's self-preservation plan, and he wanted to seek Secretary Lu's forgiveness by taking the initiative to show weakness, so as to avoid falling into prison because of Xinleng's tax evasion case.

Thinking of this, Qin Ge secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, but his face did not show anything, but he said lightly: "Secretary Lu, I know Wang Hai's illness. It is true that he has diabetes, but it is far from the extent that he said he would need to be hospitalized for half a year. If my guess is correct, the disease he suffers from is mainly a heart disease, a disease of weakness and timidity, and lack of confidence. I will also tell you the truth: Today's talk with you is like a thunderbolt above my head, which completely woke me up from a state of confusion and confusion, and also made me completely see the true faces of Wang Hai, Xie Hongda, and Zhou Jiqing. They originally held me and provoked me to oppose you and Comrade Runji, but in fact they had their ulterior motives. I've been being used by them for so long, and I don't know it. If you hadn't woken me up and saved me today, I would probably have followed them into an abyss from which I will never recover.

"Moreover, Secretary Lu should also know me better. I'm a bit arrogant and a little self-conscious. However, when it comes to honesty and self-discipline, I think I have done a good job, and I have never made any mistakes in this regard. Moreover, I have no mercy on my subordinates for making mistakes in this regard, and I will deal with them as I want, even if he is the closest person to me. It is precisely because of this that Wang Hai, Xie Hongda, and Zhou Jiqing have followed me for so many years, and they never dared to let me know about their illegal and undisciplined deeds, nor did they dare to give me gifts.

"Because they are usually well disguised, the problem of violating discipline and law is very deep, and since I became the governor of the province, I have been busy with routine work, and the three of them are working on the side of the provincial party committee. Therefore, I have not been aware of their violations of law and discipline until now, and no one has reported them to me. The only thing I know is that Wang Hai and Xie Hongda have a very unusual relationship with the surnamed Li of Xinleng County Revitalization Company, and the two of them once tried to introduce Li Botang to me, but I flatly refused. At that time, I also reminded and warned them: don't get too close to businessmen, don't associate too deeply with them. Otherwise, it's easy to get into trouble. Unexpectedly, the problem I was worried about eventually happened. If my estimate is correct, both of these men should have been caught up in the tax evasion case of Li Botang, and it is likely that they will be deeply involved. Otherwise, with Wang Hai's temperament and enthusiasm for power, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative to give up power.

"Secretary Lu, I know that you are now asking for my opinion on Wang Hai's initiative to cede power, mainly because you are afraid that I will have any misunderstanding, and you are also afraid that I will have any opinion on you, and at the same time, you fully respect my intentions. For that, I am grateful. At the same time, I would like to express my point of view: even if you do not talk to me about this today, even if the misunderstanding between me and you is still not cleared. However, if there is conclusive evidence to prove that Wang Hai and Xie Hongda committed major violations of discipline and law in the Zhenxing Company tax evasion case, I will not hesitate to support you and the central government in investigating and dealing with them in accordance with the law, and I will never have the slightest intention of protecting and shielding them. At this point, I believe that Secretary Lu should still trust me. ”

Qin Ge's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and they were indeed his true thoughts in his heart, and Secretary Lu nodded frequently when he heard it.

After Qin Ge paused for a moment, he asked again: "Secretary Lu, I want to ask: If Comrade Runji brings up the evidence of Wang Hai and Xie Hongda's suspected violations of discipline, how are you going to deal with them?" Is it to report to the Central Committee in a timely manner so that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection can investigate and deal with them? ”

Secretary Lu shook his head and said, "Comrade Qin Ge, I have a very mature idea on how to deal with Wang Hai and Xie Hongda, and I want to ask for your opinion. My idea is: For the sake of the stability of the provincial party committee and the overall situation of Tianjiang Province, Wang Hai and Xie Hongda, including Zhou Jiqing, should be treated differently when dealing with them. The principle of this differential treatment is to see the degree of their admitting and repentance, and whether they are truly aware of the seriousness of their mistakes and whether they will affect the overall situation of Tianjiang Province's development and stability.

Judging from the current situation, although Wang Hai is the most scheming, he is also the deepest in the case of Zhenxing Company. However, he also repented most thoroughly, and he took the initiative to come to me to talk about his problems. Moreover, he also took the initiative to ask his family to return all the stolen money. Therefore, although when he talked about his violation of discipline and law, he avoided the important and shirked his responsibility. However, in general, it is very good that he has this attitude and this initiative to admit his mistakes and review. Moreover, he also took the initiative to take sick leave first, and then go to the CPPCC to take an idle post for the elderly, which shows that he has a deep understanding of his own mistakes and is willing to take responsibility for this mistake in the way he thinks is most appropriate. In view of this, I approved his request for sick leave, and proposed to fight for him to go to the Central Committee, and arrange for him to go to the province to serve as a deputy director after the party congress next year. In this way, I believe that we can avoid major turmoil in the leadership of the provincial party committee, and it will not cause a shocking sensation and cause a huge shock in the political arena of Tianjiang.

"As for that Xie Hongda, I'm sure you should know him very well. This man is very stubborn, and the city government is very deep, and he is self-righteous and self-righteous, and it is difficult to listen to different opinions, and it is difficult to correct his shortcomings and faults. I originally thought that as long as he, like Wang Hai, came to me for a talk, frankly admitted his mistakes, and expressed his remorse, I could also consider letting him sit in the position of organization minister until next year, and then suggest to the central authorities that he be allowed to take up a post in the provincial CPPCC. But now it seems that this person is not willing to give up until the Yellow River. I heard that he is still using his authority to entrust people to investigate the case of Zhenxing Company, and I want to know whether Li Botang's father and son have confessed and whether they have confided in his crimes.

"Therefore, for this kind of unrepentant diehard, my suggestion is: I will write a joint letter with you to the Central Committee to expose his crimes, and the Central Committee will decide whether to open a case against him for investigation. I'm also very frank to tell you: The reason why I want to write a joint letter with you to expose Xie Hongda is to prevent Xie Hongda's backers in the central government from having any opinion of me, thinking that I can't tolerate people and deliberately rectifying Xie Hongda. If the top leaders of our party and government all have the same opinion, others will not have any ideas and opinions. What do you think? ”
