Wang Hao never expected that Bai Jie's first shot would be so fierce and ruthless, not only sharp and sharp in words, but also clear and reasonable, and also gave several practical examples, so that he couldn't refute it.

So, he had no choice but to swallow a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, pretending to be calm and saying: "Comrade Bai Jie, some of the three problems you just pointed out to me are acceptable to me, but some of them I can't understand for the time being. However, today I have come to listen to your opinions and suggestions with the attitude of 'if there is a change, if there is no encouragement'. Therefore, I do not want to argue now, so as not to affect the courage of other comrades to criticize me. Come on, come on, everyone come on, if you have any thoughts and opinions about me, just say bluntly, I will listen to them with an open mind! ”

Hu Tong, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, immediately said: "Since Secretary Wang is so humble today, then I am not welcome." Before the meeting, I took a look at the opinions and suggestions of the cadres collected by the Organization Department, and one of them said that Secretary Wang arbitrarily seized power and wanted to personally grasp and manage everything, and he was not at ease with anyone. I feel the same way.

"I'll just give you one example: This time, several petitioning cadres from the Beishan County Land Bureau reported to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Petition Reporting Center that Ye Ming, secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee, had violated discipline and law. According to the jurisdiction and procedures, this incident should be handled by me, the deputy secretary in charge of the work of reporting letters and visits.

"However, Secretary Wang directly bypassed me, the leader in charge, and asked the Petition Reporting Center to get the report materials, and then directly gave instructions on the report materials, asking the relevant departments to immediately investigate and verify, and directly deprived me of the authority of the deputy secretary in charge. In the face of this abnormal phenomenon, I can't help but ask Secretary Wang: If you can directly intervene in all the cases of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and all the big and small matters, and directly give instructions to handle them, then what do you want us deputy secretaries and Standing Committee members in charge to do? What else does our division of labor and responsibilities mean? ”

The rest of Li Runji's old subordinates, hearing Hu Tong suddenly mention Ye Ming's question, finally understood Secretary Lu's true intention of sitting in this democratic life meeting today, and also understood the reason behind Bai Jie's fierce fire at the first shot. It just so happened that they were all angry with Wang Hao, so after Hu Tong spoke, these people rushed to "open fire", some criticized him for his short temper and the tiger's ass could not be touched, some criticized him for being arbitrary and could not listen to other people's opinions, and some criticized him for his big frame and difficult to communicate and approach......

In the wave after wave of criticism, the look on Wang Hao's face gradually changed from initial confusion, shock and incomprehension to worry, frustration and hesitation. He didn't understand: Why did these deputy secretaries and members of the Standing Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who were usually respectful and respectful to him and who easily did not dare to disobey him, suddenly attack him with such harsh and sharp words? How did their resentment and anger accumulate? Why haven't I felt it before?

While he was worried and frustrated, he was also a little angry in his heart: Why are these people so hypocritical? They have such big opinions and prejudices about themselves, why don't they talk openly and honestly to themselves, and they must go to this meeting to bombard themselves again in front of Secretary Lu? Isn't this deliberately letting Secretary Lu catch his shortcomings and braids?

However, anger is anger, and at this moment he can't show it at all. Because he knows very well: these people suddenly opened fire on themselves at the meeting, absolutely not on a whim for no reason, but with confidence and support. And their confidence and backing is Secretary Lu, who is sitting beside him at the moment.

As soon as he thought of Secretary Lu, he was even more uneasy: in two or three days, Secretary Lu would go to Beijing to participate in the celebration of the founding of the "July 1st" party. He is a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and will hold meetings and participate in activities with the heads of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee. During this period, he will certainly report to the leaders on the situation of the leading body of the Tianjiang Provincial Party Committee.

If Secretary Lu reports all the criticisms of Bai Jie and others to himself at today's democratic life meeting, and does not want him to say anything other bad things, the central leaders will definitely think that they do not pay attention to politics, lack leadership skills and art, cannot lead the team well, and cannot do great things. In that case, not only will he, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, fail to do it, but may even face unforeseen disasters!

Moreover, he also knows very well that his only backer in the central government is the No. 5 chief in charge of discipline inspection work. At the beginning, the No. 5 leader had placed high hopes on him by arranging for him to come to Tianjiang, hoping that he would make use of the professional advantages of his many years of work in the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, give full play to the functions of discipline inspection and supervision work, push Tianjiang's discipline inspection and supervision work to a new height, and at an appropriate time, carry out the two reforms of "supervision by the discipline inspection commission at the same level" and "the provincial discipline inspection commission directly investigating and dealing with secretaries of county party committees who violate discipline and law," and strive to make these two reforms become the benchmark and banner of the whole country during his term of office.

It is precisely because he has the entrustment of the No. 5 leader, and knows that the No. 5 leader trusts himself more and is full of expectations for himself, so in the past three years, he has thrown off his arms and worked hard in Tianjiang, thinking that as long as Tianjiang's anti-corruption work is done well and the two measures are implemented, he does not care what others think of and evaluate himself.

However, he never imagined that he would go straight and devote himself to his work, but in the end, he would not know that he had sinned so many people and made so many mistakes. If it weren't for today's meeting, he wouldn't have realized that he had so many shortcomings and problems. Moreover, these shortcomings and faults are not fabricated by others out of thin air, but are factual, well-founded, and convincing, and you can't find a reason to deny them yourself.

If Secretary Lu took the opportunity of entering Beijing to tell the No. 5 leader about the situation of this democratic life meeting, I don't know how shocked and disappointed he would be. Once he loses the trust of the No. 5 leader, his political future may come to an abrupt end......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to be stubborn anymore, raised his head to look at Bai Jie, and said in a sad tone: "Comrade Bai Jie, you are older than me, you have more seniority in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection than me, and you are the executive deputy secretary, I have always respected and trusted you. I just want to ask: Since you and everyone here have seen so many shortcomings and faults in me, why didn't you remind me earlier? Why didn't you report to Secretary Lu earlier? If you all reported to Secretary Lu earlier, Secretary Lu would definitely talk to me and point out my shortcomings and faults in time. I'm not a stubborn person, as long as Secretary Lu points out my shortcomings in time, I will definitely correct them. ”

Secretary Lu immediately said: "Comrade Wang Hao, you blame them for this." As a matter of fact, as early as two years ago, Bai Jie, Hu Tong and other comrades reported some of your problems to me. I've talked to you twice, but in order not to affect unity, I spoke more subtlely and tactfully, not as straightforwardly as they do today, so you probably didn't take it seriously. Moreover, Bai Jie and other comrades also told me that you hardly have heart-to-heart conversations with the team members, and you have a hot temper and jump at the touch of a button, so they don't have the opportunity or the courage to put forward their opinions to you alone! ”
