Although this strength has not been able to enable Vice Governor Meng to finally win the throne of provincial governor, it is enough to fight against cadres from other provinces such as Lu Ji and Deng Zifeng.
If he can bring down the local representative, Deputy Governor of Meng, Lu Ji will be able to greatly weaken the local power of Donghai Province, and he, the secretary, can become the true leader of Donghai Province. Vice Governor Meng estimated that Lu Ji had been waiting for the opportunity to bring him down. It happened that Liu Qiangxing reported Vice Governor Meng and Guoqiang Property to the Commission for Discipline Inspection at this time. This is definitely a great opportunity for Lu Ji to fall from the sky, and he will naturally not let it go easily.
Vice Governor Meng said to his friend: "You said that this incident was not caused by Lu Ji. I believe that. But you said that Lu Ji didn't want me to die. I don't think this is the case. Lu Ji is eager to take me down. Fortunately, he does whatever he wants in Donghai Province."
The friend laughed and said, "Why did you move you, offending a large group of people behind you? Lu Ji is not that stupid. He must know in his heart that you can achieve such a high position now, and there is a large group of people behind you. Yes. He wants to bring you down, he has to face this large group of people, not you alone."
Vice Governor Meng knew that what his friend said was right. It is not just a matter of ability to be an official at the provincial and ministerial level. No one can achieve such a high level on his own. Such officials must have the support of some strong people behind them. This position represents the interests of a group, not a person. Lu Ji wants to bring him down, it is impossible not to consider these, he should have this political wisdom.
The friend continued: "Similarly, there are a large group of people behind Lu Ji. Even if Lu Ji insists on doing this, the group behind him should not allow him to do so. Politics is actually a game of sharing the spoils, and every group with vested interests There is a certain tacit agreement with other groups. It is very dangerous for anyone to break this tacit agreement. So unless it is irreparable, Lu Ji will not play such a black hand."
Vice Governor Meng said: "Nalu Ji has been reluctant to give up now, what do you think I should do?"
The friend smiled and said: "He refused to give up because he hasn't got what he wants. Don't you just give it to him?"
Vice Governor Meng said: "He wants to force me to surrender to him. I am not saying that I have to fight him to the end. I also show him good times, but the enthusiasm is not high. What can I do? Do you want me to kneel down and beg him?"
The friend laughed and said, “I’m not saying that you have to kneel down and beg him, but that what you have done is not good enough. Sometimes you have to prepare with both hands. At the same time you show up, you must also let him know about him. It's not at the mercy of others. You and Lu Ji have been colleagues for so many years, and know each other well, so I don't believe you don't have his shortcomings in your hands?"
Vice Governor Meng laughed and said, "The current officials have no shortcomings. When they are not held accountable, everyone is a clean and honest official. If you really want to recognize the truth and check it out, I am afraid that most of them will be arrested. ."
The friend smiled and said: "That's right, go and talk to others, let them know that you can also counter him."
Vice Governor Meng smiled and said, "I know what to do."
The next day, Vice Governor Meng said that he was going to report work and went to Lu Ji's office. After the work report was completed, Vice Governor Meng did not leave immediately. Instead, he emotionally reviewed some things that happened during the years he and Lu Ji worked together. In the review, he praised Lu Ji’s leadership ability and said yes. Lu Ji’s ability has allowed Donghai Province to develop so well. The central government is also insightful and knowledgeable, allowing Lu Ji to be the secretary of Donghai Province and the leader of Donghai Province. As a subordinate of Lu Ji, he believes that he is willing to follow Lu Ji to continue to vigorously. The development of the East China Sea economy will bring the economy of the East China Sea to a higher level.
Lu Ji did not express too much excitement for the praise of Deputy Governor Meng. On the contrary, he appeared very indifferent and even humbly said that Deputy Governor Meng was a bit too acclaimed. The results belong to everyone, not Lu Ji alone.
Vice Governor Meng smiled and said: “The secretary is humbled there, and the role of the leader is very important. As a subordinate, he is willing to escort the secretary. No one has privately reported to me that the Donghai Chemical Fiber Group’s restructuring has The question is, I tried to persuade him. Donghai Chemical Fiber Group is a pilot enterprise for the restructuring of large state-owned enterprises in our province. At that time, we didn’t have much experience. We were crossing the river by feeling the stones. The pilot project is always immature. Local."
Lu Ji glanced at Vice Governor Meng. Donghai Chemical Fiber Group was responsible for the restructuring of Donghai Chemical Fiber Group when he was deputy governor. Various reasons made this restructuring very unsuccessful. Of course, the main reason for this was that a relatively weak private enterprise was chosen to take over this large state-owned enterprise. And this weaker private enterprise was determined by Lu Ji. At that time, a senior leader approached Lu Ji, introduced the private enterprise to him, and let him handle it as appropriate. Of course, Lu Ji knew what to do with discretion, and insisted on selling Donghai Chemical Fiber Group to this private enterprise.
It turned out that this was a very wrong decision. The private enterprise did not have the real strength to take over the Donghai Chemical Fiber Group. After the restructuring, the Donghai Chemical Fiber Group gradually declined and eventually ceased production. However, that private enterprise has doubled its assets with the help of this restructuring, and has become a wealthy group company.
At this time, Lu Ji suffered a failure in his political career, but this failure was exchanged for his future step-by-step promotion. That high-level executive played a very important role in his future promotion. It can be said that there was no such restructuring, maybe just There is no Lu Ji today.
Lu Ji benefited a lot from this restructuring, but the workers of Donghai Chemical Fiber had to endure the dilemma that the factory was unable to pay wages when production was stopped. Many people petitioned to investigate the legality of the restructuring. Of course, Lu Ji knew that he had played a bad role in this. At that time, he had become the governor of the province, so he used his power to suppress the matter, and used the money from the provincial government to settle the workers of Donghai Chemical Fiber. The placement of laid-off workers in re-employment has finally smoothed things out. But even though things have been smoothed out, there are always some people who are obsessed with the decline of the Donghai Chemical Fiber Group. They always think that Lu Ji is responsible for the decline of the Donghai Chemical Fiber Group. Therefore, people always come out to make trouble about this matter from time to time. .
Although there are people making noise, these people don't have the real inside story, so Lu Ji doesn't feel very worried. But today, when Vice Governor Meng suddenly mentioned this matter, he dared not take it lightly. When he used provincial financial funds to smooth out this matter, Vice Governor Meng was the deputy governor, and he knew everything about it. . It would be very difficult for Lu Ji to bear if Vice Governor Meng's prosthetic hand revealed something inside.
Lu Ji smiled and said, "Why, these people from Donghai Chemical Fiber are still petitioning, how long it has been, these people can't forget the benefits of the big pot meal period."
Vice Governor Meng smiled and said, "The secretary, what you said is really on the point. This group of people simply cannot adapt to the progress of economic and social development, and refuses to rely on their own abilities to earn living expenses. I have been severely trained. After a meal, I went back honestly. You see, this is the information on their reaction to the situation."
As Deputy Governor Meng said, he handed a stack of printed materials to Lu Ji. Lu Jixin said that you might have made these materials. He didn't even look at it, so he smiled and said, "Old Meng, I Don't read it, I've always felt relieved when you deal with things."
Vice Governor Meng did not retrieve the materials. Instead, he watched Lu Ji not speak. Lu Ji also knew what he wanted. He smiled and said, "I know what you mean by Lao Meng. What about Qiu Xin? The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection reported to me. Originally, I said that I could not continue the investigation, so I quickly closed the case. However, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection insisted that the Commission for Discipline Inspection refused to release it, so I dragged it down. Now it seems that I can’t continue to pursue it. Later, I will talk to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and ask them to close the case as soon as possible. Everyone who is not troublesome is panicked and cannot work at ease."
The political game is sometimes a straightforward transaction. Why didn’t Lu Ji know that Qiu Xin could not be used to defeat Vice Governor Meng? The reason why he kept the Commission for Discipline Inspection from closing the case was waiting for the attitude of Vice Governor Meng. . Now Vice Governor Meng has already expressed his obedience in front of him and recognized his position as the No. 1 in Donghai Province, and he will accept it as soon as he meets. Although Lu Ji knew very well that Vice Governor Meng was not really convinced, but this always formed a psychological deterrence, letting Vice Governor Meng know that he had enough ability and means to deal with him, which was enough. Up.
As for the issue of the Donghai Chemical Fiber Group that Vice Governor Meng brought up, to Lu Ji, it was just a disease of scabies, and it was not enough to threaten him at all. However, Lu Jiyue was happy to make Vice Governor Meng think that it was a very important issue for him. This way, on the one hand, he can put the donkey down and end the matter of Qiu Xin; on the other hand, it can also deceive Vice Governor Meng. Long this opponent, if the two really want to fight to the death in the future, Deputy Governor Meng will find that the knife he originally thought could kill, in fact, is just a fake rubber knife, and it is not threatening at all.
Vice Governor Meng smiled, did not say anything, just put away the materials.
Qiu Xin’s affairs came to a halt, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection stopped asking him if anyone else was involved. His case was transferred to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate. The chief prosecutor specifically came to ask for the opinions of Vice Governor Meng. Vice Governor Meng said this It turns out that they are all comrades. As expected, the procuratorate just closed the case and prosecuted the case based on what the Commission for Discipline Inspection found, and did not dig any further.
