Zhang Xiaoliang then took the documents to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and found Xiang Xin. After seeing the documents, Xiang Xin looked serious and called Liu Ming, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. After explaining his intention, Liu Ming agreed to form a team led by the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the District Party Committee Office to investigate the problems in Zhaoqiao Town.

Mo Jin naturally got wind of the news and hurriedly found Zang Yi again.

Zang Yi frowned after listening to Mo Jin's story and said in a deep voice, "The current situation is very unfavorable to you. Xiaguang has already set up an investigation team, which means Fang Zhicheng already has evidence in his hands."

Mo Jin said nervously: "Mayor Zang, please protect me."

Zang Yi smiled faintly and said, "I will protect you, no problem. I have two requirements. First, you must quickly sever your relationship with Zhaoqiao Town and protect yourself. Second, in two days, a special person from the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department will come to Xiaguang for an inspection. At that time, you must respond to the inspection team according to my instructions."

Mo Jin didn't have many choices at this moment, and Zang Yi became his last straw. It was not difficult to sever ties with Zhaoqiao Town. After all, he didn't interfere too much in the original land issue, but just turned a blind eye and acquiesced. As for communicating with the inspection team of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department according to Zang Yi's request, there were certain risks. The inspection team came for Fang Zhicheng. If he said something unfavorable about Fang Zhicheng, it might affect Fang Zhicheng's future.

However, Mo Jin no longer had many options left and could only grit his teeth and move forward.

Chapter 0808: Venomous Snake Spits Out Its Core and Shoots Hidden Arrows

On Thursday morning, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department inspection team went to Xiaguang District to inspect the cadres. Although the purpose of this investigation was not explicitly mentioned, everyone knew that they came for the district party secretary Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng has been in Xiaguang for more than two years and has made remarkable achievements. He has not only successfully promoted the Qionghan integration project, but also introduced major projects such as the Asian headquarters of Qi's Group and the Hanzhou Shipbuilding of Yuanhu Group.

More importantly, Fang Zhicheng changed the original slightly backward institutional setup and management system of Xiaguang District. The biggest change was in the Investment Promotion Bureau, which now has offices in more than ten cities across the country and has stable investment attraction income every month. This provides sufficient impetus for the development of the entire Xiaguang. Secondly, the Internet industry base has become a highlight. Although there are many high-tech zones across the country, the parks with Internet industry bases or e-commerce as the main development areas are unique.

If we compare vertically, Fang Zhicheng's achievements in Hanzhou in two years have surpassed Deng Shaoqun's achievements in five years. In particular, this year's two sessions report clearly pointed out that e-commerce and the Internet industry should be developed, which proved Fang Zhicheng's foresight.

Zang Yi came to Hanzhou last year and successfully held an industrial manufacturing forum, which caused a huge stir and laid the foundation for his development in Hanzhou. Everyone believed that Zang Yi was a key figure in the rise of Hanzhou, but now his actions have changed.

Zang Yi was able to attract resources based on the existing trend, while Fang Zhicheng was at the forefront of the trend. In terms of judging the economic situation and the vision of regional industrial layout, Zang Yi lost by more than one level. Of course, this is a difference that many high-level figures will see.

Mo Jin arrived at the hotel where the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department inspection team was staying. He found the room according to the information provided. After entering the room, a female official who looked to be less than 30 years old stood up and said, "Comrade Mo Jin, please sit down!"

Mo Jin sat on the sofa and looked around the room. It was a suite with a bedroom inside and a reception area outside. The female official introduced, "Comrade Mo Jin, let me introduce myself first. This is Liu Siwen, deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, and Li Zhengchuan, director of the First Cadre Division. I am Tian Ping from the First Cadre Division of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. I want to invite you here today to talk mainly about Comrade Fang Zhicheng, the young district party secretary of Xiaguang District."

The First Cadre Division is a department of the Organization Department that specializes in the promotion of provincial cadres. This also means that if nothing unexpected happens, Fang Zhicheng will be able to enter the sequence of provincial cadres. Fang Zhicheng's next stop is not expected to stay in Hanzhou, but go to Qiongjin.

Liu Siwen looked to be in his fifties, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and had a rather elegant demeanor. He said, "Today's conversation should be casual, don't be too nervous, and just speak the truth."

Mo Jin coughed and sighed, "Dear leaders, I am really a little nervous today."

Seeing Mo Jin's hesitation, Li Zhengchuan and Liu Siwen looked at each other and knew that there might be something fishy going on. They were very experienced and had been through many such cadre inspections. In most cases, the officials being interviewed would be very cooperative and would give positive comments on the inspected person, but there would also be a small number of cases where the officials being interviewed would slander the inspected person.

When encountering the second situation, the inspection team must pay attention to it, because the reason why the organization requires this inspection link is to have a more comprehensive understanding of the inspection object.

Liu Siwen frowned and said, "We have talked to several comrades before, including cadres from Xiaguang and leaders from the Hanzhou Municipal Party Committee. They all highly recognized Comrade Fang Zhicheng. No one is perfect, and he certainly has his shortcomings, so we also want to hear different voices."

Mo Jin thought that Liu Siwen might not think so, because the cadre inspection is generally just a formality, and if there are any disturbances, it will complicate the process. However, Mo Jin had no choice but to take this step, because this was the requirement of the deal between him and Zang Yi. If he wanted to keep his position, then Mo Jin needed to make some unfavorable remarks to Fang Zhicheng at this moment.

Mo Jin had a very conflicted expression on his face. He paused for more than ten seconds and said, "I have worked with Comrade Fang Zhicheng for more than two years. My biggest feeling is that he is a cadre who is possessive of power. During his tenure as district head and district party secretary, most people in the government and district party committee were excluded and left their original positions. During his tenure as squad leader, the district party committee became a one-man show. Anyone who expressed a different voice would be suppressed by him. So now the Standing Committee has become a formality."

Li Zhengchuan looked unhappy, coughed, and said, "Most of the top leaders will be criticized for being the only one who has the final say during their term. In fact, this can be seen from two aspects. On the one hand, it shows that Comrade Fang Zhicheng is quite strong, and it also proves that Comrade Fang Zhicheng has the power to control the team."

Mo Jin was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Li Zhengchuan to say this. He had already investigated the situation of the inspection team before. Li Zhengchuan had a good relationship with Wan Heng. They had worked in the same department. Later, Li Zhengchuan went to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, while Wan Heng stayed in the Organization Department of Hanzhou. However, the relationship between the two has always been close and they have kept in touch.

Therefore, when the inspection team came to Hanzhou, it was Wan Heng who received them. If nothing unexpected happened, Wan Heng had already made arrangements in advance and anticipated certain situations.

Liu Siwen said nothing more. He glanced at Li Zhengchuan calmly and said, "Director Li, please listen to what Comrade Mo Jin has to say."

Liu Siwen was the leader of the inspection team. Li Zhengchuan smiled faintly and said nothing. He guessed Liu Siwen's thoughts. Liu Siwen ranked third in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. If nothing unexpected happened, it was unlikely that he would become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee before retirement. But last year, he received news that the Provincial Party Committee was going to arrange some department-level cadres to serve as the top or second-in-command in local areas. Liu Siwen still had a good chance of seizing this opportunity.

Liu Siwen has recently become close to Jiang Yong from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, who is a favorite of the provincial party secretary. With this momentum, Liu Siwen's future has taken a turn for the better.

Mo Jin heard encouragement in Liu Siwen's words and continued, "Comrade Fang Zhicheng has two major problems. The first is economic, and the second is work style."

"Soon after Fang Zhicheng came to Hanzhou, he drove a Volvo worth 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. Later, he had a car accident and now drives a Toyota. But he is just a young man who has just started working for five or six years. If he didn't have financial problems, how could he live such a luxurious life? Moreover, the place where Fang Zhicheng lives now is also the best community in Hanzhou, and the housing price has exceeded 11,000 yuan per square meter."

Liu Siwen frowned and said, "Is there any evidence to prove that he has financial problems? If it is just an association, it will not stand up."

Mo Jin said: "No evidence has been found yet, but everyone in Xiaguang District knows that his source of income is related to his chaotic lifestyle."

Liu Siwen said: "Oh?"

Li Zhengchuan frowned. Although Mo Jin's remarks today had no direct impact on Fang Zhicheng, all the conversations today were recorded in a book and would eventually be included in the archives, which would be very unfavorable to Fang Zhicheng.

Li Zhengchuan coughed at this moment and said, "However, Comrade Mo Jin, please try to speak with evidence. We are all party members and cannot be like ordinary people who believe rumors and make up stories at random."

Liu Siwen noticed Li Zhengchuan's obvious stance, glanced at him calmly, and said, "We are having a conversation, not investigating a case. It's enough to know the ins and outs of the matter. There's no need to be too rigid or dogmatic."

Mo Jin took a sip of tea and continued, "Fang Zhicheng has relationships with many women, including Zhao Qingya, chairman of Hongda Group, Qin Yuming, chairman of Yuming Film and Television Group, and Qi Yu, chairman of Qi Group. Many people speculate that the reason why Xiaguang has been able to attract investment in so many large projects in the past two years is because he has further relationships with these people."

Liu Siwen asked: "Is there any evidence?"

Mo Jin smiled awkwardly and said, "There is no evidence, but this is a well-known secret in Xiaguang."

If someone else said this while talking to the inspection team, it would be useless, but since these words came from Mo Jin's mouth, the impact was different.

After a few more words with Mo Jin, he let him leave. When Mo Jin left the hotel, he felt a chill on his back because he was too nervous just now.

Liu Siwen looked at Li Zhengchuan and asked calmly, "What do you think?"

Li Zhengchuan said: "I think the conversation with Mo Jin just now needs to be deleted, because his remarks have no factual basis. If they are included in the inspection report, it will have a huge impact on Comrade Fang Zhicheng."

Liu Siwen shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Since we are evaluating cadres, we must be objective and fair. If we find any comments that are unfavorable to the person being evaluated and delete them, wouldn't that be considered as shielding someone?"
