Fang Zhicheng frowned and asked, "Is there any evidence?"
If the matter is really as Mo Jin said, Huang Lin may not be able to be saved, and Cheng Hao, as his old leader, will also be punished. After all, Cheng Hao was the leader in charge of the Agricultural Bureau, which makes people wonder whether Cheng Hao also gained a lot of benefits.
Mo Jin sighed and said, "I am also hesitant about whether to investigate this matter further. After all, it involves too many people and is likely related to Comrade Cheng Hao."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that although Mo Jin's words seemed to make him undecided, he was actually forcing him to make a decision.
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "This matter must be investigated, and the truth must be found out. If Huang Lin is really guilty, he must be held accountable according to the law. As for whether there are other connections, they must also be investigated. We must fish in the lake and not let any fish slip through the net."
Mo Jin originally thought that Fang Zhicheng would choose to plead for Cheng Hao, but he didn't expect Fang Zhicheng's attitude to be so firm, which made him a little embarrassed.
Chapter 0760 A hint of conspiracy
The report about Huang Lin is, of course, groundless. Huang Lin has served in the Agricultural Bureau for a long time and is involved with seed companies and fertilizer companies. This is a matter of course, because this is the unspoken rule of the industry in the city and even the country. Farmers do not have many ways to buy seeds, fertilizers, and medicines. They can only buy them from agricultural technology stations scattered in each township. Therefore, the Agricultural Bureau has corresponding interest connections with these companies. Whether a seed company can occupy an area, it must first establish a good relationship with the leaders of the Agricultural Bureau. The District Agricultural Bureau has the power to decide, and Huang Lin, as the head of the Agricultural Bureau, can naturally convert these into benefits.
However, this is an unspoken rule, so if a big move is made, it will naturally cause a chain reaction. Mo Jin knows Cheng Hao well, and he is a very strict person. If he has problems, then there will be no honest officials in the whole Xiaguang.
Although Huang Lin was used by him, the person who had a real interest relationship with Huang Lin was not necessarily Cheng Hao, but someone else. If it was related to the provincial department, it would probably cause a big trouble, which Mo Jin could not bear.
Fang Zhicheng asked Mo Jin to investigate the inside story of the matter because he had confidence in Cheng Hao.
Mo Jin originally wanted to use the problems in the Agricultural Bureau to suppress Cheng Hao, but he didn't expect that he would now receive a hot potato. If he became the promoter of the investigation, it would mean that if he pried open the interest chain, he would suffer retaliation from the other side.
Mo Jin's original intention was just to have Cheng Hao punished for Huang Lin's matter, and at the same time place his own people in the Agricultural Bureau, but he didn't expect things to become troublesome.
Mo Jin had a faint thought of retreating in his heart, knowing that he had to be careful about the timing, and said, "Secretary Fang, maybe it's not that complicated. We just need to find out whether Huang Lin has embezzled."
Fang Zhicheng tapped his fingers on the desk a few times and whispered, "Lao Mo, we have been partners for a while. We know each other and have a tacit understanding. Do you think I am the kind of person who will do things in a muddled way when something goes wrong?"
Mo Jin sighed secretly and said with a wry smile: "Secretary Fang, the matter is actually not that complicated. Maybe someone just wants Huang Lin to move to another position."
Seeing that Mo Jin had changed his tone, Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Mo Jin really didn't dare to make a big fuss, so he said in a serious tone: "Old Mo, Xiaguang is in a state of disrepair right now, and you and I have a lot of things to do. I hope you can focus more on economic development. As for the selection and adjustment of cadres, that is the responsibility of the organization department."
Mo Jin knew that Fang Zhicheng was subtly warning him, suggesting that he should not reach too far.
Fang Zhicheng had a brief exchange with Mo Jin, just to verify one thing, whether this matter was a conspiracy. Although Mo Jin was very cautious in his answer, he revealed a piece of information, and he seemed to be hiding something about this matter.
Mo Jin may not be the direct driving force behind this matter, but he is definitely related to it.
After hanging up the phone with Mo Jin, Fang Zhicheng called Cheng Hao and asked, "How is Huang Lin? Is there any problem with him?"
Cheng Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about this."
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "As a supervisor, you can't even make an evaluation. Doesn't that mean you don't understand the situation below at all? Just based on this, you are responsible for negligence."
Cheng Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Huang Lin is very capable and a very low-key and modest person, so..."
Fang Zhicheng tapped his fingers heavily on the table several times and ordered in a deep voice: "Ability is not the only criterion for measuring cadres. There is no shortage of elites in the officialdom, but there is a shortage of principled and ethical cadres. If Huang Lin is really suspected of abusing his power for personal gain, then remove him."
Cheng Hao sighed and reported: "He has connections in the province."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said unhappily: "My connections are still in the capital!"
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Cheng Hao was not resolute enough in this matter, and was a little disappointed. As for Mo Jin, he helped Cheng Hao to block it, but the Agricultural Bureau still had to be adjusted. If Cheng Hao still wanted to control the Agricultural Bureau in his own hands, he would need to use some means.
Cheng Hao has good business skills, but he is weak in this aspect and cannot match Zhang Xiaoliang's flexibility. If it were Zhang Xiaoliang, he would not need to coordinate himself at all, and would have used his network of relationships to solve the problem in its infancy.
The internal strife in the Agricultural Bureau seemed to be a trivial matter, but Fang Zhicheng still felt a hint of crisis and conspiracy. The entire Xiaguang officialdom was full of unspoken rules, and under the glamorous appearance, a sense of decadence could not be concealed. Fang Zhicheng realized that the work style of party members and cadres and economic development must be grasped simultaneously, and absolutely no relaxation should be allowed.
Fang Zhicheng was very clear-headed. Under the seemingly calm sea, there were actually many problems lurking. As the district party secretary, he could not relax for a moment.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are internal and external troubles. The internal factional struggle is very fierce. Although Mo Jin does not oppose himself, he strives for his power as the second-in-command and is not ready to calm down. Externally, Zang Yi is eyeing him covetously, using industrial manufacturing to constantly put pressure on Fang Zhicheng in the regional economic strategy.
Fang Zhicheng decided that the matter should be handled with caution. Although Mo Jin backed down and was unwilling to pursue the matter further, Fang Zhicheng still ordered Cheng Hao to resolve the matter and hold Huang Lin accountable.
These conflicts in Xiaguang District have become Fang Zhicheng's family affairs. If he can't even settle the Xiaguang family, how can he negotiate with outsiders with peace of mind
On the one hand, Fang Zhicheng wanted to further rectify the atmosphere in Xiaguang District, and on the other hand, he also considered the image of the government. Gong Dechao's behavior had already exposed the abscess of the Agricultural Bureau, so he could not just stand by and watch. Fang Zhicheng hated unspoken rules in his heart. In the face of unspoken rules, the interests of the public were plundered by private individuals, which indicated that there must be unfairness and injustice.
Fang Zhicheng always stressed a principle to himself: although he could not be perfect, he should uphold justice and fairness within his ability. If he lost this principle, Fang Zhicheng felt that no matter how high his official position was, it would be worthless and meaningless.
There are many corrupt officials in the officialdom, but Fang Zhicheng is very fortunate that some of the officials he met are principled and idealistic, such as Song Wendi, who is a person who firmly believes in the concept of "officials must benefit the people". So Fang Zhicheng was deeply influenced by him.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Cheng Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, he had heard that Huang Lin used the Agricultural Bureau's control over the region's seeds, fertilizers and other agricultural production capital to accept kickbacks from related companies. However, the kickbacks were not given to him alone, but were distributed in a hierarchical manner. When he was in charge of the Agricultural Bureau, Huang Lin had given him benefits, but he rejected them sternly.
Later, Huang Lin changed his working style and gave full support to Cheng Hao in agricultural layout. At that time, Cheng Hao held a relatively low position in the district government and had neither the energy nor the ability to supervise Huang Lin. Since Huang Lin cooperated with his work so well, Cheng Hao ignored his problems.
So Cheng Hao called Huang Lin and said, "Old Huang, Gong Dechao came to my place today and made a scene. The matter has become a big deal. Now the district needs a reasonable answer from the Agriculture Bureau."
Huang Lin had been feeling anxious. He knew that Gong Dechao was targeting him. He smiled bitterly and said, "District Chief Cheng, I still need you to help me clarify this matter. Although I used that car more often, I never said it was my private car."
Cheng Hao sighed and said, "This is not about the special car now. Someone is accusing you of using your power for personal gain."
Huang Lin repeatedly cried out that he was innocent. "How could I do such illegal things? It was all Gong Dechao's malicious slander."
Cheng Hao said: "I suggest you confess voluntarily. The wind is not in your favor right now, and Secretary Fang's attitude is very firm."
Huang Lin's face turned pale, and he felt dizzy knowing that he was in trouble. After a long time, he decided to communicate with Fang Zhicheng, the district party secretary.
