Although Li Dongfang had a premonition that Zhao Qigong would make some moves in politics, he didn't expect that it would be a showdown with the big boss Zhong Mingren, and he didn't expect Zhao Qigong to do it so urgently and desperately! At the democratic life meeting of the provincial party committee, they replaced defense with offense, and tied him to the chariot mercilessly, as if they were really some kind of dead friend. According to Zhao Qigong's secretary, Zhao Qigong did this out of responsibility for the cause of the party and the people. Li Dongfang sneered in his heart, thinking that he had thoroughly seen through this political person: What is the cause of the party and the people? Well said! This is out-and-out political blackmail! It was aimed at Zhong Mingren as well as at him, and he repeatedly asked Zhao Qigong to adhere to principles, and Zhao Qigong started a large political article on the issue of "adhering to principles." Borrow his hand to hit Zhong Mingren, and then watch Zhong Mingren make a strong counterattack.

He believed that when Zhong Mingren was angry and cleaned him up, Zhao Qigong would never say a word for him, never!

Li Dongfang couldn't say these words to Zhao Qigong's secretary, so he could only listen to them silently.

When Zhao Qigong's secretary said that Zhao Qigong hoped that he would rush to the afternoon meeting of democratic life to talk about the serious problems of the international industrial park in a realistic manner, Li Dongfang refused without thinking about it, and made it clear that the issue of the international industrial park should of course be discussed, but not now. When the time is right, he will talk to Zhong Mingren directly. The secretary repeatedly emphasized that this was what Zhao Qigong meant, but Li Dongfang still did not change his words, but asked the secretary to tell Zhao Qigong not to tie himself to him.

In the afternoon, when Zhao Qigong was talking to Zhong Mingren, Li Dongfang and Qian Fanxing presided over a forum for managers and factory directors of municipal state-owned enterprises, including several CEOs from international industrial parks. Li Dongfang tentatively briefed the wind and said that the pressure on the state-owned enterprises in Xiajiang to tackle tough problems is not small, the problem of laid-off workers is very serious, and there is also the problem of an international industrial park left over from history, which will have to be resolved sooner or later, and the pressure will be even greater. A park boss sensitively asked, there have been a lot of rumors about the industrial park recently, is there a plan for the park in the city? Li Dongfang said: There is no plan yet, but the problem must always be solved, and you big polluters must be mentally prepared, and once the city decides to close the park, you must resolutely implement it whether it is ideologically accessible or not.

Qian Fanxing was taken aback, he was very uneasy at the meeting, but he couldn't say anything, and immediately after the meeting, he asked Li Dongfang: "Secretary Li, what do you mean by this?" Is the international industrial park so easy to close? ”

Li Dongfang confessed to Qian Fanxing at this time, and said depressedly: "I'm afraid it will have to be closed, I guess Comrade Qigong is talking about this issue with the big boss now, maybe it's still very unpleasant......

Qian Fanxing rolled his eyelids: "Of course it won't be pleasant, isn't he Zhao Qigong a dog taking a mouse?!" ”

Li Dongfang said: "Whether Comrade Qigong is a dog or not, let's not care, but we really have to take the issue of the international industrial park seriously, I think, can the two of us take the time to make a sincere special report to the big boss recently?" I have asked Comrade Jiaguo to bring the pollution data of the International Industrial Park from Qinghu. ”

Qian Fanxing was stunned and didn't fight, so he refused: "Secretary Li, don't look for me for this matter!" The international industrial park was not built by me, and the Xiajiang River was not polluted by me, so I can't offend the big boss for this! ”

Li Dongfang endured his anger and said: "Fan Xing, what you said is too unlevel, you are now the mayor!" ”

Qian Fanxing was even more angry: "Secretary Li, then let me tell you: from the mayor's point of view, I am even more reluctant to close this international industrial park, with an output value of more than 10 billion, tens of millions of taxes and fees, and 20,000 or 30,000 workers, why should I close it?" Looking for something to do?! Downstream Qinghu City proposed to close the border! Lu Chengwei, do they dare to mention it? ”

Li Dongfang said: "Fan Xing, now that Comrade Qigong is mentioning it, we have to face it squarely!" ”

Qian Fanxing said: "Then please ask Comrade Qigong to come to the pass, I don't care anyway!" "Just shake it off and leave.

A few minutes after Qian Fanxing left, Wang Peisong, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, called, saying that there were some important situations to learn from Li Dongfang, and asked Li Dongfang if he could work hard, put down his work, and immediately go to Building 3, No. 44, Liuyin Road? Li Dongfang immediately thought that the democratic life meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee had not yet been completed, and he might become the focus of contradictions, and immediately judged that the situation that Wang Peisong wanted to know must be related to Zhao Qigong.

Sure enough, it has something to do with Zhao Qigong!

Zhao Qigong's political showdown not only aroused the anger of the big boss Zhong Mingren, but also made Wang Peisong very annoyed.

Rushed to Building 3 of the Guest House at No. 44 Liuyin Road, where a deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was already waiting. Li Dongfang and the deputy secretary did not talk for a few words, Wang Peisong rushed from the No. 4 building where the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee was holding the democratic life meeting, and there was no politeness, and when they met, he said: "Comrade Dongfang, this democratic life meeting of our provincial party committee is really unprecedented, as far as I know, it has never been held in the history of our Xichuan Party, and it has not been opened yet, I am afraid that it will continue overnight. ”

Li Dongfang's heart tightened suddenly: "Is it that Comrade Qigong and the big boss are arguing fiercely?" ”

Wang Peisong nodded and said: "Originally, we were all goodwill, but before the meeting, Comrade Mingren repeatedly stressed to me and Governor Bai that Comrade Qigong should be protected, and I proposed a month ago that Comrade Qigong's issue be reported to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, but Comrade Mingren still did not agree!" But what did this comrade do today? Attack instead of defend and launch a surprise attack! Since Comrade Qigong mentioned you when talking about the issue, Comrade Dongfang, today I would like to invite you to talk about it: What is going on? I hope that you will give a responsible explanation to the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in accordance with your party spirit and principles! ”

Li Dongfang thought about it for a while, and truthfully explained the facts and sources of Chen Zhongcheng's suspected crime.

Wang Peisong was obviously disappointed when he heard the narration: "Comrade Dongfang, so to speak, when Chen Zhongcheng colluded with these criminals and obstructed the handling of the case, you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, knew nothing? Zhao Qigong took the initiative to tell you? ”

Li Dongfang admitted: "On this point, Comrade Zhao Qigong did not tell a lie, and this is the truth. After thinking about it, he explained, "The leaders of your provincial party committee know that Comrade Zhao Qigong and I have been working together for a long time, and Comrade Zhao Qigong has always been at ease with me, so it is not surprising that I will discuss such a major event." ”

Wang Peisong looked at Li Dongfang and said quietly: "Aren't you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, aware of Chen Zhongcheng's criminal behavior at all?" How did this negligence happen? Comrade Dongfang, based on the understanding of the provincial party committee and comrades, you are not a careless person! The political sense is still very sensitive! ”

Li Dongfang said cautiously: "What do you say? Secretary Wang, I raised different opinions on the appointment of Chen Zhongcheng back then, but Comrade Zhao Qigong did not listen, and your provincial party committee also approved it, so I can only admit the reality. After Tian Zhuangda returned from extradition, especially Chen Zhongcheng's abnormal behavior in the recent period aroused the vigilance of my comrades and me, and we decisively adjusted the division of labor among the Standing Committee members and removed Chen Zhongcheng from the position of secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. ”

Wang Peisong sneered: "Decisive adjustment? Is it really that decisive? Isn't that what happened the other day?! ”

Li Dongfang had no choice but to admit: "Comrade Zhao Qigong has always disagreed, and he has lost his temper with me several times for this reason. ”

Wang Peisong asked again: "Why does Zhao Qigong have such a soft spot for Chen Zhongcheng?" What exactly is their relationship? ”

Li Dongfang cautiously replied: "Secretary Wang, I can't tell you clearly, Chen Zhongcheng was brought up by Comrade Zhao Qigong, and I also know that I have expressed objections to his promotion, so I rarely report anything to me, which also makes me very annoyed, and because of Zhao Qigong's relationship, I can't make up my mind." Maybe it's my weakness! ”

Wang Peisong said meaningfully: "Comrade Dongfang, I'm afraid there is still a feeling, right?" Is it okay for our comrades to be open and honest with each other? Comrade Zhao Qigong supported you in your appointment as secretary of the Xiajiang City CPC Committee, and said a lot for you at the Standing Committee of the Xiajiang CPC Committee. But, comrade, when it comes to matters of principle, personal feelings must be put aside! ”

Li Dongfang's mood was extremely complicated, he was unwilling to go against the facts and make up another set of scourges against Zhao Qigong, and he also did not want Wang Peisong and Zhong Mingren to regard him as Zhao Qigong's comrades in this attack, so he thought for a while before he said: "Secretary Wang, you are an old comrade with rich political experience, think about it, if Comrade Zhao Qigong really has serious economic problems, or if he really engages in corruption with Chen Zhongcheng, will he dare to tell me about Chen Zhongcheng so publicly?" Do you dare to make such a challenge today? His former son-in-law, Comrade He Jiaguo, once told me that Zhao Qigong wanted not to make small economic profits, but to get close to unlimited political interests, and I felt the same way. This comrade was a well-known politician when he was presiding over the work in Xiajiang, and he really paid great attention to economic issues, hardly made friends in the economic circles, and did not even do anything to write inscriptions to enterprises, and his image was still relatively honest. ”

Wang Peisong snorted: "I can't see it, Comrade Dongfang, it's too early for you to draw this conclusion!" ”

Li Dongfang did not answer Wang Peisong's words: "Secretary Wang, I have to make a statement: On the issue of feelings and principles, I have always stood on a principled stand, and for this reason, Comrade Zhao Qigong has often been very unhappy. Here, I would also like to make it clear to the organization: In order to make Comrade Zhao Qigong conscious, I almost tore my face with Comrade Zhao Qigong. In a certain sense, Comrade Zhao Qigong was forced to give an explanation to the provincial party committee under pressure from me. If my waiting and persuasion of Comrade Zhao Qigong affects the investigation and handling of the problem of corruption in Xiajiang, I am willing to bear the corresponding responsibility. ”

Wang Peisong said angrily: "What responsibility do you have if you adhere to your principles?" Isn't the provincial party committee also waiting for him! ”

It can be seen that this explanation not only did not win Wang Peisong's understanding, but made Wang Peisong even more annoyed. Li Dongfang thought, I'm afraid the next words will be more difficult to talk about. However, it is not okay not to talk about it, since Zhao Qigong raised the issue of the international industrial park at the meeting, he must have an attitude, otherwise, it is tantamount to agreeing with Zhao Qigong's political blackmail, and Zhong Mingren's misunderstanding will be deeper.

So, he said: "Secretary Wang, Zhao Qigong's motives today are very obvious, I neither knew nor approved in advance, and I don't know what this comrade said at the meeting. However, as far as I know, Comrade Zhao Qigong, out of consideration for his own political interests, has always been obsessed with the issue of the international industrial park, and I would like to report on the international industrial park: It is indeed a big problem, and the pollution is quite serious, and the pollution incidents have been ...... since the park opened 15 years ago to today."

Wang Peisong didn't want to listen to it, and waved his hand: "Comrade Dongfang, I'm sorry, today is not an environmental protection work conference, and the investigation and handling of pollution is not the business of our Commission for Discipline Inspection, you had better talk to the comrades of the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau, I will go to Building No. 4 for a meeting soon!" After that, without waiting for Li Dongfang to react, he shook hands with Li Dongfang coldly, turned around and walked out.

Looking at Wang Peisong's back, Li Dongfang's heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable: whether Wang Peisong was intentional or unintentional, this move was too much, after all, he was the secretary of the municipal party committee of the capital city of Xichuan Province, how could Wang Peisong not listen to him and leave? I also thought that Zhao Qigong, as a politician, was only afraid that he would cause big trouble, and because of Zhao Qigong's attack, the international industrial park would most likely become a sensitive political issue, and it would be even more difficult for him to deal with it.
