Chapter 666: Chapter 622 Investigation and Filing_1

Nie Zhenbang, of course, understood Qiao Yiren’s intentions; the secretary of the provincial committee wanted to remain uninvolved. It was just like Director Shen had told him. In the current political landscape, bureaucrats who knew him all shared the same mentality—avoid him if possible, for whoever ran into him was out of luck.

Even Qiao Yiren feared tangling with him. In the eyes of cadres nationwide, a poor impression of Zhenbang threatened Qiao Yiren’s political career.

However, Nie Zhenbang was indifferent to this. What needed to be done still had to be done. If he sacrificed principles and disregarded party disciplines and state laws purely for the sake of his career, then he wouldn’t be Nie Zhenbang any longer. Besides, he was confident that his identity and background were strong enough to withstand any injustices from Qiao Yiren.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang straightforwardly voiced his opinion and presented the evidence he had obtained to Qiao Yiren. Indeed, it was somewhat an attempt to force Qiao Yiren to stake his position.

Upon examining the documents, Qiao Yiren furrowed his brows.

The Wanghai City Fuxing Real Estate Company had been approved for a hundred acres of land, and Feitian Company had been contracted for all construction projects.

During the construction of Wanghai Boulevard, there was much controversy in Wanghai City about who should win the bid. In the end, the second construction team of Wanghai was successful. Subsequently, all earthwork and landscaping of Wanghai Boulevard were entrusted to Feitian Company.

There were about five or six such pieces of evidence in the investigation material. All the cases shared a common trait—the approval of these companies or their winning of projects was profoundly related to the department under Hu Jiawang’s supervision. And the companies benefiting from these projects or advantages invariably had business dealings with Feitian Company.

Although no direct evidence indicated Hu Jiawang’s disciplinary violations yet, this was not a judicial proceeding but an internal party investigation, and the accumulated evidence was already more than enough.

Feitian Company lacked both the qualifications for various construction projects and a precise main business entity. The company only had a business registration status and even received its organization’s institutional code two years after its establishment. Yet, it appeared in various construction projects and sites across Wanghai City, which was already a matter worthy of contemplation.

Looking at Nie Zhenbang beside him, Qiao Yiren fell into deep thought. Judging from Nie Zhenbang’s attitude, it was apparent that he was determined to bring down Hu Jiawang.

Given the evidence, bringing down Hu Jiawang would be no problem. In addition to economic construction, anti-corruption was also a significant focus of national work.

With the existing evidence, Hu Jiawang had fully met the criteria for launching a formal investigation, and if this matter was brought to the standing committee of the provincial committee, it would be a foregone conclusion.

Considering this, Qiao Yiren picked up his phone, dialed a number, and spoke, “Comrade Jiashu? This is Qiao Yiren. Do you have a moment now? Mmm, please come to my home.”

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhenbang felt a bit relieved in his heart. Comrade Jiashu must be the Secretary of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, Ding Jiashu. Since Secretary Qiao had personally asked Ding Jiashu to intervene, his attitude was naturally clear.

Ding Jiashu, upon receiving Qiao Yiren’s call, did not dare to delay. Usually, when Qiao Yiren notified him, it was often conveyed through his secretary Liang Yuan, or the Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee, Wang Yaguang. This was not because Qiao Yiren was showing off his importance, but primarily intended to provide a buffer.

Generally, the secretary, or the secretary-general would reveal some information when the leaders summoned them. For example, they would clarify what area of work they needed to report on.

Now, with Qiao Yiren personally making the call, it indicated that the matter was urgent. Considering the work under his charge, Ding Jiashu became increasingly uneasy. For verification and disciplinary work, it was typically him notifying the secretary, the situation was entirely reversed now. Wasn’t this a slap in the face?

Not daring to delay at all, Ding Jiashu hurried over. In less than ten minutes, you could hear Ding Jiashu talking to Secretary Qiao’s wife, Sister Zhang, outside the room. Shortly after, Ding Jiashu entered the room.

At this point, Nie Zhenbang stood up. Although they shared equal ranks, in terms of party posts, Ding Jiashu was somewhat superior, after all, he held the title of a CPC Central Commission member and was a member of the Provincial Committee. Both conventionally and reasonably, necessary respect was due.

Upon seeing Nie Zhenbang present, Ding Jiashu was momentarily stunned, then greeted with a smile, “So Mayor Zhenbang is here too.”

Seeing Nie Zhenbang, Ding Jiashu’s anxiety was somewhat alleviated. Whatever was happening, it seemed confined to Wanghai City.

Meanwhile, Qiao Yiren modestly said, “Comrade Jiashu, please have a seat. As the saying goes, it’s hard to converse with a standing guest. Firstly, take a look at these documents. They were brought over by Comrade Zhenbang today.”

Ding Jiashu smiled as he picked up the document on the coffee table. After carefully reading it over, Ding Jiashu’s expression also became serious and solemn. He said in a deep voice, “Secretary Qiao, I suggest that we immediately take measures against Hu Jiawang, the deputy mayor of Wanghai City. We should initially impose double discipline on him, then formally launch an investigation.”

As the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Ding Jiashu had to make his stance clear. As to what Qiao Yiren and Nie Zhenbang’s attitudes were, Ding Jiashu didn’t need to know, nor was it necessary for him to guess. As long as his conduct was beyond reproach, it was enough.

Moreover, he had always been deeply disgusted by this kind of activity, so as soon as Ding Jiashu saw the document, he had expressed his unyielding attitude in no uncertain terms.

At this moment, Qiao Yiren also strongly agreed. He nodded slightly and said, “Comrade Jiashu, I agree with your opinion. However, this matter undoubtedly involves Wanghai City. My point is that an investigation is definitely required, that’s a matter of principle. Moreover, I think we can only view this case as an individual one. When the provincial disciplinary inspection team goes down, they should keep control, and we should avoid intervention and suppression.”

This sentence set the tone for how Qiao Yiren intended to handle the case. In a way, Qiao Yiren was also considering Nie Zhenbang. Ever since Nie Zhenbang had taken over Wanghai City and handled the major Yuhai case, which involved so many cadres, there had been more issues in Wanghai. If things were blown out of proportion, the impact on Nie Zhenbang would be enormous.

If this case were handled in the name of the Provincial Committee of Minnan Province and kept within the control of the Provincial Committee, the impact would be considerably smaller. Also, others wouldn’t target Nie Zhenbang.

Ding Jiashu gave it some thought and then nodded, “Yes, I will certainly follow your directions, Secretary Qiao.”

Qiao Yiren also nodded, then said, “Comrade Jiashu, you’re too polite. Your capabilities are well-recognised. I have confidence in you. I think, before we set up a specific team for this case, we need to report it at the Standing Committee. Also, we need to do some groundwork with Tian Xujian, the Secretary of the Wanghai City Party Committee.”

…

When the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee’s call came through to Tian Xujian, the Secretary of the Wanghai City Party Committee, he was currently listening to a work report from the Director of the city’s Education Bureau.

Seeing the call was from the Provincial Committee, Tian Xujian did not dare delay. He gestured for the Bureau Director to wait a moment and said, “Director Xie, I think that’s enough for today. Next time, when I have time, I’ll go on-site to the Education Bureau for further investigation. Education work is related to the foundation of the country. Whenever possible, every country always places great importance on education.”

After Director Xie left, Tian Xujian quickly picked up the phone and laughed, “Comrade Yaguang, what news brings the esteemed Secretary-General my way?”

Tian Xujian, who was also a member of the Provincial Standing Committee and his rank was even higher than that of Wang Yaguang, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee. Thus, his communication style was far less hesitant than that of a ordinary department-level officials.

At this moment, Wang Yaguang also laughed and said, “Secretary Tian. It’s nothing major, the reason for my call is to inform you about a temporary Standing Committee meeting that will take place tomorrow morning.”

A temporary Standing Committee meeting?

Upon hearing this, Tian Xujian became serious as he had heard some rumors about the sordid matters in Wanghai city and Zhangdong city recently. He was displeased with Ma Guohui, the wretch from Zhangdong city, who had been gaining an advantage at his expense. Honestly, Tian Xujian felt that Nie Zhenbang had done an excellent job this time.

Could it be that this temporary Standing Committee meeting is about this matter? Upon hearing Wang Yaguang’s words, Tian Xujian also laughed and said, “Secretary-general, it’s quite uncommon to hold a temporary Standing Committee meeting. Any news you can share?”

At this moment, Wang Yaguang also laughed and said, “Secretary Tian, there’s nothing major. This time, the focus will mainly be on discussing some issues in Wanghai City.”

After hanging up the phone, Tian Xujian’s mobile phone rang again. It was a call from Liang Yuan causing Tian Xujian to feel more puzzled. As soon as he answered the call, Liang Yuan’s voice came over, “Secretary Tian? This is Liang Yuan, Secretary Qiao’s secretary. Secretary Qiao asked me to inform you to come over tonight, he needs to talk to you about some matters.”

The consecutive calls made Tian Xujian feel the oddness of the situation. Considering what Wang Yaguang had just said, things would not be simple. Thinking of this, Tian Xujian also laughed and said, “Brother Liang, Secretary Qiao wants to see me, is there something important?”

A secretary is the trusted aide of a leader, and generally, one can get some idea of what’s happening from the secretary. For Tian Xujian, doing so felt natural.

However, what caught Tian Xujian off guard was Liang Yuan’s response. At this moment, he laughed and said, “Secretary Tian, how would I know the leader’s intention? Without Secretary Qiao’s word, I am somewhat clueless.” (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote for it. Your support would be my biggest motivation.)
