June 27, 1998, 8 a.m., Binh Duong Municipal Party Committee

At eight o'clock, Gao Changhe came to the office, and before he sat down at the door, Liu Yiru came over with the schedule of the day and reported to Gao Changhe: At half past eight is the regular meeting of the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor, at nine o'clock is the office meeting of the municipal party committee, at ten o'clock is the re-employment experience exchange of laid-off workers and the opening ceremony of the independent market, at half past ten is the commendation meeting for the construction of spiritual civilization, at half past eleven to meet with representatives of the Asian Development Bank, and at twelve o'clock a reception banquet will be held. This is the main activity of the morning. The main activities in the afternoon were: at two o'clock, the second base of the central air-conditioning city jointly built by the private Hongda Group and Japan started to lay the foundation; At three o'clock, the head of the local garrison and the responsible comrades of the central ministries and commissions in Binh Duong came to visit the new municipal party committee; At 4:10 a.m., the first long-distance stop in the central government passed through Binh Duong; At six o'clock, see off the head of the central government; Seven......

Gao Changhe couldn't bear it anymore, and waved his hand to interrupt Liu Yiru's words: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it after seven o'clock in advance, I got off work at seven o'clock, and I am not within the scope of today's work." After taking over the schedule, he crossed out the commendation meeting for the construction of spiritual civilization, the reemployment experience exchange meeting and the foundation laying of the grand group, and said unhappily, "Director Liu, didn't I say it yesterday?" I won't participate in these three activities. ”

Liu Yiru smiled and said: "Secretary Gao, spiritual civilization and reemployment are both major events at present, these two meetings have long been decided to be held, and the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee will participate, is it appropriate for you not to go?" In particular, the issue of reemployment is of great concern to both the central and provincial party committees, and the news network talks about laid-off reemployment every day. Besides, this is also the thing that the people are most concerned about, and there are 100,000 laid-off workers in Binh Duong, if you don't show up at this kind of meeting, will it have an adverse effect? ”

Gao Changhe thought about it, recognized Liu Yiru's analysis, and made a circle at the "Laid-off Workers Reemployment Meeting".

Liu Yiru seemed to be encouraged, and said: "Secretary Gao, the construction of spiritual civilization cannot be ignored ......."

Gao Changhe said impatiently: "I know, I know, spiritual civilization is also very important, but I just arrived in Pingyang, the most important thing is not to get stuck in the sea of Wenshanhui, but to run one place at a time, grasp more of the situation, and seriously solve some practical problems, such as the flat rolling mill!" ”

Liu Yiru was silent.

Gao Changhe was still unsatisfied: "Director Liu, I'll say hello to you first, and I will say at the meeting between the secretary and the mayor soon, and at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, in the future, it is best not to hold some meetings that can be held or not. Don't hold any meeting, the mayor and the Standing Committee members sit in a big row, what are you doing? Do you really take it seriously, or do you just deal with it?! Don't do this kind of formalistic stuff in the future, okay? Let our Standing Committee members and mayors perform their duties, save some time and think more about the big plans, and do more business, okay?! ”

Liu Yiru sighed lightly: "Secretary Gao, you have seen through some stubborn problems under our current system. ”

Gao Changhe snorted: "I've seen it through, but no one wants to change this habit!" ”

Liu Yiru seemed to remember: "Oh, by the way, Secretary Gao, I still have to say more, Secretary Jiang's habits and practices are to go to the start and completion of major projects." Comrade Chaolin said that his favorite thing is to start the foundation stone and cut the ribbon after completion......"

Gao Changhe said unabashedly: "I don't like to go around like this!" Are you tired? No wonder Secretary Jiang doesn't have time to commute to work, and he is busy until twelve o'clock in the morning! If there is no leader to lay the foundation and cut the ribbon, people will not work? It's not going to be completed? As long as you have a good investment environment here, you can make money for others, and people should come to take care of it. The investment environment here is not good, that is, you don't do anything all day long, specializing in laying the foundation and cutting the ribbon, and people still don't come. Therefore, we should do more work to improve the investment environment and less worry about whether or not to participate in such activities. Of course, this is not absolute, and there are some major projects that I will go to if I have time. ”

At this time, it was already 8:15, and the door of the first conference room of the municipal party committee opposite Gao Changhe's office opened, and Gao Changhe saw Sun Yadong and Wen Chunming entering the conference room one after another through the half-hidden door, so he packed up his documents and prepared to go to the conference room to participate in the meeting between the secretary and the mayor.

Liu Yiru spoke again, and when she spoke, her demeanor was still so natural and casual, "Oh, Secretary Gao, there is another matter, Comrade Jin Hua, member of the Standing Committee of the Lieshan County Party Committee and executive deputy county magistrate, came early in the morning and has been waiting for you in my office, saying that there is an important situation to report to you in person." ”

Gao Changhe didn't care, glanced at Liu Yiru, and asked, "Why do you have to look for me?" How can I have time to listen to her report now? You tell her, what's the matter, wait for me to go to Lieshan, I'm going to take the time to run around in the six counties and cities of Lieshan, Binhai, and Jinghu......"

Liu Yiru had no choice but to speak, and her voice suddenly lowered a lot, "Secretary Gao, Geng Zijing, Secretary of the Lieshan County Party Committee, is suspected of major economic crimes, if you don't take measures immediately, there may be a big problem!" ”

There is really something wrong with Lieshan! And it involves the secretary of the county party committee!

Gao Changhe thought for a while and asked, "Director Liu, how do you know?" Did the deputy county magistrate Kim talk to you? ”

Liu Yiru nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "Secretary Gao, you may not know that Jinhua is my daughter." ”

Gao Changhe was stunned again: "You, Director Liu, can really calm down, this meeting and that meeting, and you have talked to me a lot, why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?!" It's hard to speak because it's your daughter?! With a wave of his hand, he immediately made a decision, "In this way, I will go to the conference room to say hello to Comrade Wen Chunming, and let them start the meeting first, Director Liu, you go and invite Comrade Jinhua to come over, and say that I will listen to her report immediately!" ”

After listening to Jinhua's report, Gao Changhe was very surprised. He could no longer have imagined that Geng Zijing, secretary of the Lieshan County Party Committee, and his accomplices would be so bold as to resell state-owned land use rights through Lin Ping's so-called "joint-stock system" Lieshan Economic Development Company. What kind of business violation is this? It is clear that he is using power for personal gain and bending the law for bribes! Thinking of the situation reported by Sun Yadong and Ma Wanli, and the 140,000 stolen money sent to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection earlier, Gao Changhe estimated that the 140,000 stolen money was likely to be sent from Lieshan, and it may even be sent by Zhao Chengquan, the county magistrate. Since the five secretaries and members of the Standing Committee of the Lieshan County Party Committee have all joined the shares, it is impossible for Zhao Chengquan, who is the deputy secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate, to be stubborn and not to join the shares. The anonymous letter made it clear, "He can't fight, and he can't afford to fight." "Yes, Zhao Chengquan knew that he had a terminal illness, and he wanted to do more, of course he couldn't afford it. In order to protect his innocence, he had no choice but to send the stolen money to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Jinhua can think of donating the gift money he was forced to accept to the Hope Project in the name of the giver, how could Zhao Chengquan not think of this?!

Jinhua did not mention the county magistrate Zhao Chengquan in the report, and it was Geng Zijing, the secretary of the county party committee. said that Geng Zijing's style has always been very domineering, and he is a typical one-word hall master, and sometimes he trains Zhao Chengquan like a son.

Gao Changhe couldn't help asking: "How did such a person become the secretary of the Lieshan County Party Committee?" And six years at a time! ”

Jinhua said: "I don't know, I only heard the old comrades of Lieshan say that in the first two years of the past six years, three county magistrates have been changed, and the shortest one is only three months, and no one can stand Geng Zijing's paternalistic style. Zhao Chengquan is more loyal, has a good temper, and does not grasp power, so he has done it to this day, and there is the unity of the team that Geng Zijing said. ”

Gao Changhe snorted: "Yes, the team is united, unite and be corrupt collectively!" ”

This time, the secretary, the mayor's meeting and the municipal party committee office meeting were all rushed. Gao Changhe only showed up at the beginning of the meeting between the secretary and the mayor, and said hello to the deputy mayors who had not yet met, and Wen Chunming presided over the whole meeting. It wasn't until near the end of the meeting that Wen Chunming asked Liu Yiru to come over and ask him what else was going on, and Gao Changhe explained to Liu Yiru that he asked Wen Chunming and Sun Yadong, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, to stay for a while, and there were important things that must be studied immediately, and the office meeting of the municipal party committee at nine o'clock was rescheduled.

At this time, Jinhua also talked about it, and she said cautiously: "...... Secretary Gao, in view of this situation, I have a suggestion to immediately take effective measures to prevent Lin Ping, the manager of the Economic Development Corporation, from destroying his accounts. According to the masses, the relationship between this female manager and Geng Zijing is very unusual. ”

Gao Changhe nodded: "We will consider this issue, don't worry." Oh, Comrade Jinhua, I want to say that I and the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee thank you! Thank you for your integrity and courage, and now it takes some courage to fight against corruption! ”

Jinhua said a little shyly: "Secretary Gao, in fact, I am not so brave, it is not you who are the secretary of the municipal party committee, I may not dare to report it, I trust you." With that, he stood up and took his leave.

Gao Changhe was a little moved, glanced at Jinhua attentively, and suddenly asked, "Comrade Jinhua, how old are you?" ”

Jin Hua was stunned for a moment and said, "Thirty years old." What's wrong, Secretary Gao? ”

Gao Changhe smiled: "It's nothing, just ask." After a pause, he finally said, his tone was not like the secretary of the municipal party committee, but like Jinhua's big brother, "Jinhua, you are so beautiful and young, why are you so old-fashioned?" Like your mother. ”

Jinhua was a little embarrassed and said: "In front of the executive deputy county magistrate, I dress fancy clothes, I'm afraid that the old comrades won't be used to it." ”

Gao Changhe said cordially: "County Magistrate Xiaojin, don't be afraid, you have to have the courage to change the thinking and concepts of the old comrades!" With that, he sent Jinhua out of the door and went straight to the first conference room.

In the first conference room, Wen Chunming and Sun Yadong were talking lukewarmly.

Gao Changhe's face sank when he entered the door, "Mayor Wen, Secretary Sun, let's hold a small meeting now, and immediately decide one thing: investigate and deal with the leading group of the Lieshan County Party Committee, according to Comrade Jinhua's report and the feedback of the masses in the past, it is estimated that this team has a big problem and is ......very serious."

Wen Chunming was stunned.

Sun Yadong said quietly: "It is long overdue to investigate and deal with Lieshan!" ”
