Secretary Lu said a few words for Bai Jie and the others, paused slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at the participants, and said in a subdued tone: "Comrades, according to the agenda of the meeting, this should be a mutual criticism session, and it is not my turn to speak as an observer for the time being. However, after listening carefully to everyone's criticisms of Comrade Wang Hao, I feel that it is necessary to interject a few words to defend Comrade Wang Hao, so as not to misunderstand Comrade Wang Hao and feel that Comrade Wang Hao only has shortcomings and faults, and has no advantages and strengths at all. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Bai Jie, Hu Tong and others were stunned, but even Wang Hao himself stared at Secretary Lu with a calm face, and seemed to not believe his words a little.

Secretary Lu paused for a moment and continued: "I think everyone's criticism of Comrade Wang Hao just now is more pertinent and realistic. I believe that most of Comrade Wang Hao will accept it, and he will definitely reflect deeply and earnestly rectify it. What I want to say now is this: As Comrade Wang Hao, who is deeply trusted and respected by the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and has been assigned to the important post of secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission in our province, he will definitely not have only shortcomings and faults, but no advantages or strengths. Otherwise, the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the leaders of the Central Committee do not have the vision and ability to know people and do their duties well.

"I have worked with Comrade Wang Hao in the same team for three years, and I can see his shortcomings and faults more clearly, and similarly, I have also understood and summarized his advantages and strengths, which can be summarized as follows: First, the ability to supervise and enforce discipline is particularly prominent. You may not know: During his tenure as deputy director and director of the Third Supervision Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Comrade Wang Hao presided over and was responsible for investigating and handling five or six major cases of violation of discipline and law involving cadres at or above the deputy ministerial level, and was awarded one collective second-class merit and three individual third-class merits.

"Comrade Wang Hao's second merit is that he is honest, self-disciplined, and selfless. During the work of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, especially during the handling of major cases of violation of discipline and law, many high-ranking cadres who had been investigated and punished used various methods such as threats, inducements, co-optation, and corruption to want Comrade Wang Hao's subordinates to show mercy and let them go. However, Comrade Wang Hao not only withstood all kinds of pressure, but also withstood all kinds of sugar-coated shells, showed no favoritism, was not afraid of the powerful, and did not seek personal gain in the course of enforcing discipline, handled things in strict accordance with rules and discipline, and handled those big and important cases into 'iron cases,' which was highly praised by the leaders of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission and the leaders of the Central Committee.

"Comrade Wang Hao's third advantage is that he has a strong sense of reform and innovation, vigorous and resolute work, and very high efficiency. Of course, for reform and innovation, everyone may not agree with it, thinking that he is so happy and blindly aggressive. However, I can responsibly tell you: The implementation of the two reforms in Tianjiang Province, namely, 'supervision by the Discipline Inspection Commission at the same level' and 'the provincial discipline inspection commission directly investigating and dealing with violations of discipline and law by county party committee secretaries,' was not something that Comrade Wang Hao came up with with his head, but a task assigned to him by the principal responsible comrades of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission.

Of course, in the process of carrying out reforms, Comrade Wang Hao may have been a little impatient and rash, and he did not extensively solicit the opinions of party committees and governments at all levels. However, we cannot completely negate these two reforms because of this, still less can we say that Comrade Wang Hao made a mistake in carrying out these two reforms. I still have the same attitude: These two reforms must be carried out, and they must be done well. However, we should be cautious and prudent in the ways and steps of reform. There are many points worth discussing in Comrade Wang Hao's reform plan, and I hope that everyone will make concerted efforts and work together to assist Comrade Wang Hao in doing a good job of these two reforms. That is all I will say for the time being, and I invite you to continue the proceedings. ”

In the process of Secretary Lu's speech, Wang Hao has been listening with his head tilted sideways, and when he listened to Secretary Lu like a few treasures, telling the story of his previous work achievements and honors in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, this tough man who had just been hit and ashamed suddenly felt a pain in his heart, his eyes were red, and he almost left tears in his eyes.

After that, he heard Secretary Lu in an appreciative tone, highly affirmed his self-discipline, work efficiency, reform and innovation consciousness, and once again expressed support for the two reform measures he proposed, so that he couldn't help but have a sense of knowledge, both sour and gratifying, and at the same time secretly blamed himself: Secretary Lu is so high-spirited, so magnanimous, but he has been trying to grab his little tail, pigtails, now that I think about it, I am really too narrow-minded, too extreme!

While blaming himself, he glanced at Bai Jie and the others with his eyes, and found that after listening to Secretary Lu's words, the strong smell of gunpowder on their faces had disappeared, and some people also turned their eyes to themselves, and their expressions were much more relaxed and friendly - obviously, they had all been persuaded by Secretary Lu's words, and their resentment against their stomachs had probably dissipated a lot.

At this point, he fully understood: the reason why Bai Jie and others have been holding back their dissatisfaction and resentment against themselves for more than two years, and have not united to oppose themselves and empty themselves, nor have they complained to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Central Committee, it must be that Secretary Lu has been suppressing them, admonishing them, making them obey their own leadership, and try not to have a frontal conflict with themselves. Otherwise, with their wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of themselves at the meeting today, they would have been unable to sit still in the position of secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection!

After understanding this, Wang Hao was more ashamed at the same time, and he was more grateful and respectful to Secretary Lu in his heart, feeling that he not only had extremely high political wisdom, but also understood the general situation, took the overall situation into account, considered the problem with height, depth, and magnanimity, did not treat people with small grudges, and did not deny people with small mistakes, which is indeed a rare good leader......

So, he said in a ashamed and apologetic tone: "Secretary Lu, the praise you just gave me made me both pleased and very ashamed!" During my work in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, I did make a little achievement. However, since I joined the work, I have been working in the organs of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and I lack experience in grassroots work, and I also lack in-depth research and understanding of the complex local political ecology and working environment, which has led to me being a bit eager to achieve success in my work, greedy for merit, and I must admit this.

"At the same time, because I have made a little achievement in the work of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, I am a little fluttering and forgetful, I always feel that I am an expert in supervision and discipline enforcement, and it is also my strength to investigate and deal with cadres who violate discipline and law, so after serving as the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, I can't put myself in the right position, I want to meddle in everything, I want to rush to do any work, and I always feel that some important work is for others to do, and I can't rest assured, which leads to the mistake of taking power without authority. This is especially painful when I think about it now!

"Now, my heart is more chaotic, and I don't know how to say a lot of words. However, I would like to emphasize one point: the criticism of me today is not only a slap in the face for me, but also a cure for my chronic illness. I will definitely keep in mind your criticism of me, keep in mind Secretary Lu's teachings, try my best to correct my shortcomings and give full play to my advantages in my future work, and work together with all of you to push the discipline inspection and supervision work of our province to a new height! ”
