After talking about this, Lu Ji looked at Deng Zifeng and said, "Old Deng, I know that you have always been an active actor in combating corruption and advocating integrity. In the past, I was afraid that opening the lid would affect the work of Donghai Province. Thinking, this seems to be impossible now. Wang Shuanghe and Lu Dingshan’s behavior is really too bad. I decided to learn from you and be an active actor in fighting corruption and advocating integrity. I hope you can join me with these ugly phenomena. Fight to the end."
Under Lu Ji's gaze, Deng Zifeng smiled awkwardly. He had no intention of preparing for Lu Ji's action this time. However, Lu Ji made rigorous and detailed preparations. It seems that the Commission for Discipline Inspection has conducted a detailed investigation of the Wang Shuanghe and Lu Dingshan case, and he has no chance to refute anything if he wants to refute it.
Deng Zifeng groaned secretly in his heart. He knew very well why Lu Ji wanted to attack Wang Shuanghe and Lu Dingshan. Wang Shuanghe had an improper transaction with the Zhendong Group in southern Jiangsu on the Qidong Airport project, and Lu Dingshan was a close associate of Vice Governor Meng. Lu Ji's attack on these two men was actually aimed at him and Vice Governor Meng.
Deng Zifeng's gaze turned to Deputy Governor Meng, whose face was also pale. Obviously, he was also caught off guard by Lu Ji.
Deng Zifeng withdrew his gaze, and it seemed that he could not get support from Deputy Governor Meng. Although he knew that Lu Ji's goal was directed at him, Deng Zifeng was unable to veto the coercive measures against Wang Shuanghe and Lu Dingshan. He has always advertised incorruptibility in Donghai Province, and naturally he cannot stand on the side of corrupt elements.
Deng Zifeng looked at Lu Ji and scolded Lu Ji as a bastard in his heart. He was calculated like this, but he said sternly: "Secretary Lu is right. We can't cover the ugly behavior of these corrupt elements, but We must continue to fight resolutely to the end..."
When Lu Ji watched Deng Zifeng say these things, the muscles on his face were a little twitching, and he sneered inwardly. He said to his heart that you, a hypocrite, don't like to flaunt your integrity? I will let this Wang Shuanghe strip off your clean skin to see if you can continue to be clean.
After Deng Zifeng finished his impassioned speech, Lu Ji turned his gaze to the next target it was targeting-Deputy Governor Meng, and said, "Lao Meng, tell me your opinion."
Seeing Lu Ji spotted him, Vice Governor Meng smiled calmly, his heart was very flustered at this moment. Compared with Deng Zifeng, his affairs are much more serious. Deng Zifeng only took care of the old leader's son and did not take part in the illegal act. And he was directly illegal. At the beginning, he and Lu Dingshan did a lot of illegal things. Lu Dingshan's investigation is likely to bit him out.
Vice Governor Meng's heart greeted Lu Ji's eighteenth generation ancestors, but he still had to express his support for Lu Ji, because the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had done a good job of preparation, and he could not find any reason for opposition.
When Lu Ji saw the embarrassment of Vice Governor Meng, he felt very comfortable in his heart. At this moment, this seemingly powerful opponent felt really vulnerable. It seems that as long as one dared to go all out, defeating him is not impossible.
At the same time, Lu Ji also secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he has been operating in Donghai Province for many years, and he still controlled the discipline inspection department. Only now has this opportunity to use this weapon to deal with Deng Zifeng and Vice Governor Meng.
This time, members of the Standing Committee of the Donghai Province reached an agreement, unanimously agreeing that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection should take relevant compulsory measures against Lu Dingshan and Wang Shuanghe. No one wants to openly oppose the anti-corruption campaign. Doesn't that mean that they are also corrupt elements? Therefore, the Standing Committee members all agreed with Lu Ji's opinion. Although Deng Zifeng and Vice Governor Meng are very reluctant.
After announcing the adjournment of the meeting, Lu Ji did not look at Deng Zifeng and Vice Governor Meng, stood up and walked out of the meeting room boldly. So far, the Standing Committee ended with the defeat of Deng Zifeng and Vice Governor Meng. But Lu Ji didn't think he won the final victory.
Now it is just the beginning of the war, and it is still too early to win the final victory. The next step depends on how Deng Zifeng and Vice Governor Meng will respond. Lu Ji knew very well that if he wanted to bring down these two guys, Wang Shuanghe and Lu Dingshan alone were not enough. Up to the provincial and ministerial level, everyone has a certain network of support behind them. It is not so easy to bring them down.
Lu Ji didn't expect to be able to completely overthrow Deng Zifeng and Vice Governor Meng. In that case, he would be hated by the strong connections behind these two people and would pay a heavy price.
It is true that there are struggles in the officialdom, but this struggle must be within certain limits. They are all chess pieces on the big chessboard of officialdom. On the chessboard, they can fight with each other, but if their fight endangers the stability of the entire board, chess players may not tolerate it.
Therefore, compared with the struggle, the official guardianship is the more commonly used layout on the officialdom board.
Although it is impossible to overthrow Deng Zifeng and Deputy Governor Meng in this way, the current situation is very favorable for Lu Ji. He has already taken the lead. The next step is to wait for someone to negotiate with him to exchange compromise terms.
In Lu Ji's expectation, the best bargain is to let him continue to serve as Secretary of the East China Sea, and he can control the scope of investigation of the two cases of Wang Shuanghe and Lu Dingshan, and prevent them from linking with Deng Zifeng and Deputy Governor Meng. Of course, whether the goal can be achieved depends mainly on the meaning of the senior management.
After Lu Ji walked out of the small meeting room, Deng Zifeng walked out of the meeting room with a gloomy face. He wanted to rush back to the Donghai Provincial Government. At this moment, he was really upset. He didn't expect to be in this critical period. It was calculated by Lu Ji. He began to regret that he shouldn't have let Wang Shuanghe a horse. If he had taken action against Wang Shuanghe at that time, he might not be so passive now.
Deng Zifeng could see that the purpose of Lu Ji’s sudden high-profile anti-corruption campaign was simple. It was to attract the attention of the senior management, hoping that the senior management could change the decision to transfer him out of the East China Sea, so that he could stay as Secretary of the East China Sea. . This can be regarded as Lu Ji's dying struggle. But you are struggling, don't drag me to cushion your back
After returning to the office, Deng Zifeng picked up the phone and called Sunan, saying, "Sunan, you must be mentally prepared. The transaction between Wang Shuanghe and Zhendong Group may be revealed."
Sunan was surprised and said, "Uncle Deng, how could this happen? Didn't Wang Shuanghe already go to the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles because of this incident? How come this incident was picked up again? Who is doing the ghost?"
Deng Zifeng said: "It's Lu Ji. This guy is unwilling to leave Donghai Province, so he wants to do something to blog. Although it is you, it is me.
Sunan said, "This guy is too insidious, Uncle Deng, will you be in trouble?"
Deng Zifeng said: "Of course there will be trouble, but it is not serious. This kind of thing says that he is a matter and is a matter, and that he is neither a matter nor a matter. I am afraid that someone will use it to deal with me."
The position of Secretary of the East China Sea is very important. East China Sea is a rich province and ranks very high in the domestic provinces and cities. After becoming the Secretary of Donghai Province, he would naturally enter the Politburo and become a member of the core leadership. Deng Zifeng believes that such an important position will not be cared about. What happened this time will surely become a target for people who want to attack him, and take the opportunity to compete with him for the throne of the secretary.
Sunan is also a child of a family, and he has seen some changes around Su Lao. He knew that he really caused Deng Zifeng in trouble this time. He said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Deng, let you be dragged by me. Up."
Deng Zifeng smiled and said, "Sunan, it's a bit of a disagreement if you tell me this. It's not a big deal, it will affect me at most to take Lu Ji's seat."
Sunan knew that he might have affected Deng Zifeng’s position, and felt very guilty in his heart. However, it has already happened. All he can do now is to see how to remedy it. Then he said: "Uncle Deng, you see that I can now What can I do for you?"
Deng Zifeng said: "There are two things I need you to do. One is to clean things up for me. It's best not to involve you personally. If you don't get involved, I can talk a little better."
Sunan said: "I have already arranged this. Fu Hua specially reminded me at the beginning, so I made some preparations in advance."
Deng Zifeng sighed and said: "He also reminded me, but unfortunately, I didn't listen to him completely. Hey, there is one thing you should pay attention to. Tell Fu Hua as little as possible about these things. His old boss Qu Wei is Lu Ji's general in front of the battle. I doubt that Lu Ji suddenly attacked me this time because Qu Wei planned it behind his back."
Deng Zifeng has always been wary of the relationship between Fu Hua and Qu Wei. This time he and Lu Ji clashed directly, and the two sides fought close, but Qu Wei ran to Beijing on this sensitive matter. There must be some conspiracy. Deng Zifeng didn't want to let Fu Hua know something, so he leaked it to Qu Wei.
Sunan said: "I will pay attention to this."
Deng Zifeng went on to say: "The other thing I need you to do is to tell Old Su about the situation and let him see if he can come forward and help me maintain it at an appropriate time."
Deng Zifeng seems to be calm on the surface until now, but underneath the calm, waves are rough. He knows that relying solely on his own strength may not be able to ensure that he can successfully rise to the top. He needs to move Su Lao behind him as a safeguard. Although Sunan has retired for many years, it still has some influence at the top.
Sunan said: "I understand this, I will tell my father."
Deng Zifeng said: "Okay, just do what I said. That's it."
