Su Mo's mouth was bitter as he asked, "Are you referring to corruption?"
Old Master Su nodded and said, "Corruption is more ferocious than a tiger. The reason why the domestic economy is now riddled with holes is mainly because the atmosphere within the party is not pure enough and a group of people have converted power into private interests. Although the domestic environment seems bright and beautiful, and the development momentum is rising steadily, it is actually vulnerable."
Su Mo also sighed deeply and said, "The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has been calling for a crackdown on corrupt officials, but there has been little movement."
"The main reason is the lack of support." Old Master Su narrowed his eyes and said, "There are not many of us old guys left alive. Two days ago, Old Ghost Tang called me and asked me to go to Yanjing. I agreed. I think Old Ghost Tang is going to make a big move. I guess he will work hard on anti-corruption."
Su Mo thought of the tall and thin old man in his memory and asked curiously, "Is Mr. Tang in good health?"
Old Master Su shook his head and said, "He is five years older than me. Although he is stronger than me, he has reached the age of knowing his destiny."
Su Mo was still clear-headed. The reason why Mr. Tang called his father was to form an alliance. An alliance must have a leader. As the inviter, Mr. Tang naturally sat in the main seat.
The Tang family has certain advantages over the Su family. Tang Hao, the second son of the Tang family, is now the secretary of the Yanjing Municipal Party Committee and a strong contender for the next national leader. Among the third generation of the Tang family, there are also outstanding figures like Tang Tianyu.
Old Master Su has always been in poor health, but he still insisted on going to Yanjing. He must have taken a fancy to the momentum of the Tang family's revival. Now the Su family is weak, if they can form a good relationship with the Tang family, they can work together to overcome the difficulties of the past few years.
Of course, Mr. Tang also had his own considerations for inviting the Su family to be an ally. Although the Su family has lost its glory in the political arena in recent years, its position in the military is still strong. If the Su family can be an ally, the strength of the military will be strengthened, and it will surpass the Ning family, the northern faction and other forces.
Su Mo said worriedly: "The Tang family already has the Cao family as a partner, so why are they so eager to find allies?"
Old Master Su said in a deep voice: "Recently, the party is rectifying the military, and the Cao family may be implicated. The northerners have been using many means recently, and the force is very strong, which has caused the Cao family a lot of headaches and suffered heavy losses. Old man Cao's precious son has also suffered a setback, as can be seen from the frequent personnel transfers in the General Logistics Department."
Su Mo sighed and said with emotion: "I see, this old man Tang is really smart. Since the army is provoked, he naturally hopes to suppress the other side with the government."
Now that the Tang family has established its momentum, even if the northern faction makes other moves, it will be difficult to curb their upward trend. The Tang family now finds the Su family to stabilize the rear and keep a firm foothold in the military, and then put pressure on the opponent from the government.
What Old Master Su was thinking about was whether he could gain a position for the Su lineage through this change.
Old Master Su laughed and said, "As people get older, they become more intelligent. Counting on my fingers, I haven't seen him for more than ten years. He and I were once known as one of the four most handsome men. All the other handsome men are dead, and only he and I are still alive." Speaking of this, Old Master Su was also filled with sorrow.
Su Mo knew that Old Master Su and Old Master Tang had always been rivals. The two had fought from the military to the government, and neither had ever submitted to the other. But now that the Su family was weak, Old Master Su was naturally at a disadvantage in this alliance, which must have made Old Master Su feel a little unwilling.
There is no way around it. The Tang family is thriving, while the Su family is barely maintaining its position. A gap between the advancing and retreating families has emerged.
The situations of the Tang family and the Su family are actually very similar. The eldest sons of both families have passed away. However, the difference is that the Tang family relies on the second son Tang Hao, while the Su family relies on the eldest daughter Su Qing. Su Mo said in a deep voice: "Dad, we must do a good job in cultivating talents for the family. We can lose to the Tang family in the next ten years, but in the next ten years, we must turn the tide."
A gleam of light flashed in Old Master Su's eyes, his eyebrows raised and lowered, and he sighed softly: "Planning for twenty years later? This is quite interesting."
Su Mo had long been accustomed to his father's expression. He had been calculating all his life and never tired of it. Su Mo admired his father from the bottom of his heart, but at the same time he was a little afraid of him because he had no idea what he was thinking.
Chapter 0519 How to have both fish and bear's paw
In early September 2008, Xiaguang District held the 4th 6th People's Congress. An election was held at the meeting. Acting District Chief Fang Zhicheng was successfully "promoted" with a high vote and became the District Chief of Xiaguang District People's Government. Fang Zhicheng said in his speech after the election: "I sincerely thank all the representatives for their trust and support. I feel that my responsibility is heavy and my mission is glorious. As someone who has only been in Xiaguang District for half a year, I find that I have integrated into Xiaguang District and become a part of Xiaguang District. I will shoulder the heavy responsibility without hesitation, work hard, and never let down the trust and trust of all the representatives and 100,000 people."
After the meeting, Deng Shaoqun looked grim, and walked out of the hall quickly without any communication with Fang Zhicheng. Zhang Xiaoliang approached Fang Zhicheng and whispered, "District Chief Fang, Secretary Deng is a little abnormal today. Usually his speeches are very long, but today he just went through the motions."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled, "Maybe something happened at home?"
Zhang Xiaoliang was slightly stunned, not understanding what Fang Zhicheng meant.
After Deng Shaoqun returned to his office, he angrily threw the meeting materials into the trash can, which scared the Organization Minister Yu Jinping who walked in behind him.
"Why was it passed almost unanimously?" Deng Shaoqun looked at Yu Jinping with a gloomy look.
Yu Jinping smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know why. Before the meeting, I talked to a few representatives and told them my intention in a tactful way, but I didn't expect the final result to be so unexpected."
Deng Shaoqun originally hoped to trip up Fang Zhicheng when he was about to be promoted to a regular employee, but he did not expect the situation to get out of control, and in the end Fang Zhicheng was promoted to a regular employee with almost unanimous votes.
Deng Shaoqun didn't know how hard Zhang Xiaoliang worked. He communicated with each NPC representative at least twice. Some stubborn people from Deng Shaoqun's faction were defeated one by one by Zhang Xiaoliang's extraordinary persuasiveness.
This was also the death order Fang Zhicheng gave Zhang Xiaoliang before the People's Congress. If he could not pass the formalization, he would not be in this position. Zhang Xiaoliang had only been the deputy district chief for a few months and was unwilling to leave, so he carried out Fang Zhicheng's order almost pervertedly.
Deng Shaoqun let out a long sigh. His temper had become much more restrained in the past two years. If it were in the past, he would have been furious and would have smashed and yelled for a while.
"How is the verification of materials going?" Deng Shaoqun asked in a deep voice.
Yu Jinping nodded, with an embarrassed look on his face, and reminded: "As Jin Feng said, it is basically true. Fang Zhicheng does have ambiguous relationships with many women, but most of his women cannot be touched. As for the house Fang Zhicheng lives in and the car he uses, they are all in the name of others and he borrowed them."
Deng Shaoqun tapped his fingers on the desk and said, "Why can't I move? Explain it to me clearly."
Yu Jinping said slowly: "Qin Yuming, the chairman of Yuming Media Group, is Fang Zhicheng's girlfriend on the surface; Qi Yun, a female cadre who used to work with Fang Zhicheng, is now the deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee's Supervision Office; Tong Siqing, a deputy secretary of the office of the secretary of the Qiongjin Municipal Party Committee; Shen Wei, the general manager of Yuming Media Group, whose father is Huainan's richest man Shen Qianshan..."
Deng Shaoqun waited calmly for Yu Jinping to finish talking, but in fact his heart had already been shaken to its core. He had originally wanted to start with Fang Zhicheng's private life and use the Rectification Movement to put pressure on Fang Zhicheng. Who would have expected that these women of Fang Zhicheng were all from wealthy families and very powerful people
Deng Shaoqun had to consider himself and wonder whether he could bear the consequences.
Seeing Deng Shaoqun's uncertain expression, Yu Jinping reminded him, "Fang Zhicheng is a cadre parachuted in by the provincial party committee. If he makes too much trouble, the higher-ups will definitely put pressure on him."
Deng Shaoqun had actually gotten wind of this from Xia Lanshan last time, and he didn't want to target Fang Zhicheng too much, "So what you mean is that I'll just let Fang Zhicheng go on being so arrogant?"
Yu Jinping smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Deng, according to Fang Zhicheng's age and resume, he will only be in Xiaguang District for a formality for five years at most. He will definitely go to the next stop. Just bear with it for a while."
While Deng Shaoqun was hesitating, his cell phone rang. It was Zhao Qianhe who called and whispered, "Secretary Shaoqun, something bad has happened. Your brother was arrested at the airport."
Deng Shaoqun's face showed anger, and he asked, "What?"
Zhao Qianhe explained, "I just learned that Xiang Xin had arranged for someone to monitor your brother's every move. Seeing that he was about to leave for Canada from Qiongjin Airport today, they rushed to the airport and arrested him. Now they have collected a lot of evidence, and several thugs have pointed out that it was your brother who was the mastermind, leading to the wounding and murder. Now the murderer cannot be found at all, so all the responsibility falls on your brother. Because the circumstances are serious and he is at the forefront of the movement, if he is sentenced, it will be at least life imprisonment."
