Parallel Lines of Rebirth

Chapter 149: Turn your hand and it becomes clouds, turn your hand back and it becomes rain

Views:

A few months ago, when Zhou Yuanting was pushing for the bankruptcy of the Qinghua Plant, Xu Fuyan took this report to various major departments in Guanshan. His intention was obvious and his banner was clear. He was just short of putting the differences between the municipal party committee and the municipal government on the table and announcing them to the world. At that time, some people did not comment on this, but they expressed dissatisfaction with Xu Fuyan's inability to unite the party and government team and create contradictions and conflicts. Some major leaders even criticized Xu Fuyan privately for not being political and ignoring the overall situation. This evaluation is very serious for a newly appointed municipal party secretary. If it were someone else without a backer, his career might have ended there.

But all this disappeared with the convening of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 14th Central Committee, and with Yu Peidong's public speech, it went in a completely different direction. Everyone understood that Secretary Yu's public praise of the Qingzhou report was actually sending a strong signal that he supported Xu Fuyan's position on the Qinghua Plant issue.

As a frontier official, Yu Peidong's words and deeds have an absolute influence on the officialdom of Jiangdong Province, apart from some individuals with deep backgrounds and roots in the capital. It is no exaggeration to say that everything the provincial party secretary says must be followed and implemented unconditionally. Precisely because of this power, Yu Peidong's attitude has always been very cautious, as if there is something, but not the other way around, except for major issues.

The emperor's heart is as vast as the sea, filled with nothing but political tactics!

Therefore, guessing the intentions of their superiors became an essential survival skill for those who worked hard in the brutal officialdom. When they understood Yu Peidong's opinions, they would subconsciously focus on this idea, unite all the forces that could be united, and do everything that could be done.

It is conceivable how much pressure Zhou Yuanting was under at that moment. No one could withstand it!

This is not a game of equal power. In other words, the level difference can ignore defense and achieve complete suppression!

After the first enlarged meeting of the provincial party committee, the provincial party committee and the provincial government jointly issued a document calling on the entire Jiangdong province to organize activities to study the spirit of the 14th Fifth Plenary Session. Yu Peidong's speech spread to all party and government agencies almost within a day, causing a huge response. The tide of state-owned enterprise bankruptcies that had entered the implementation stage or were about to be put on the agenda was curbed to a certain extent. Decision-makers in various cities and counties all had the same idea: wait and see, and wait until there are successful experiences that can be learned from other places before sending Tang Monk to learn from them and take a smooth path to heaven.

No one is a fool. Although pioneers are glorious, great opportunities always hide great risks. Even the chief architect said that reform is like crossing a river by feeling the stones. No one wants to fall down while crossing the river and become the latecomers who tiptoe and be laughed at by history.

Without any hesitation, everyone's eyes looked in the same direction - Qingzhou!

Qingzhou was in the midst of a polarization of sadness and joy at this time. The Zhou family members had already noticed the thundercloud storm gradually forming in the sky above their heads. They were all terrified, not knowing when they would be torn to pieces by the storm.

With Zuo Yuxi as the link, Xu Fuyan communicated with Zuo Jing and agreed that it was time to launch the final attack. It is better to pursue the enemy with the remaining courage than to seek fame by imitating the tyrant. The older generation of revolutionaries had long ago made clear instructions. Xu Fuyan made a prompt decision and went to Guanshan with the responsible comrades and relevant personnel of the investigation team to meet with Yu Peidong and made a detailed report on the case, personnel, amount and scope involved in the Qinghua Factory case.

According to news from the Provincial Party Committee Office, Yu Peidong was furious and slammed the table on the spot.

When the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will float on the water; when a commoner is angry, blood will flow every five steps; and when the provincial party secretary is angry, it is enough to completely subvert the political landscape of Qingzhou.

That evening, the Provincial Party Committee held a meeting to study and decide to set up a special task force led by the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Procuratorate Chief Prosecutor, and the Provincial Public Security Department Director. At the same time, a large number of backbone personnel from the public security, procuratorial, and legal systems of Guanshan, Lingyang, Qingzhou and other cities were transferred to the special task force. The task force is divided into three departments. One is the leading group, which is responsible for coordinating relations among all parties, adjusting the direction and route of the investigation, and making timely decisions to ensure smooth communication between the task force and the provincial party committee and government, and to do a good job in feedback and reporting; one is composed of the provincial procuratorate, Qingzhou Commission for Discipline Inspection, Public Security Bureau and other departments, and is mainly responsible for investigating the Yuan Dazhu case. According to Ji Zheng's report materials, it thoroughly investigated issues involving embezzlement, bribery, misappropriation of public funds, investment losses, etc. in the six years from 1989 to 1995; one is led by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and is composed of the Provincial Procuratorate Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Provincial Public Security Department, and personnel from the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Public Security, Inspection, Audit, Finance and other departments drawn from Guanshan and Lingyang. It conducts investigations on Qinghua Plant, Yuan Dazhu, Fan Heng'an and Zhou Yuanting to find out whether there are behind-the-scenes transactions, illegal operations and money laundering, whether they have accepted bribes, and whether they have interfered with the asset audit of Qinghua Plant, thereby causing a vicious loss of state-owned assets, etc.

The task force entered Qingzhou, and the huge team of one province and three cities made Yuan Dazhu, Wang Guangming, and Yang Hua, who were resisting stubbornly, realize that everything was over. Yuan Dazhu's hair turned half white overnight, and his spirit completely collapsed. Under the policy attack of the task force, Yuan Dazhu and others were eager to make meritorious contributions, and soon confessed that Zhou Yuanting and others pushed Qinghua Plant to bankruptcy, manipulated audit results, wrote off debts, stripped non-performing assets, sold state-owned assets at a low price, and accepted huge bribes, and provided detailed evidence.

After multiple investigations and verifications, in view of the current situation and the evidence already collected, the task force reported to the provincial leaders and merged the two groups. According to the "Administrative Supervision Regulations of the Republic" promulgated by the State Council on December 9, 1990, the supervisory authority has the right to "order relevant personnel to explain and clarify the issues concerning supervisory matters at the prescribed time and place" during case investigations, and implemented "double-regulation" on Zhou Yuanting and related personnel.

At the same time, Fan Hengan, who had long been secretly monitored by the public security organs, attempted to escape but was arrested by police at the door of a secret villa.

At this point, the disputes, confrontations and even wars within the Qingzhou party and government system caused by the bankruptcy and reorganization of the Qinghua Plant came to an end. What awaited Zhou Yuanting and others was severe punishment by law and judgment by the people.

Since his rebirth, Wen Liang has launched a tragic attack on the extremely powerful enemy, just like Don Quixote wielding a spear to fight against windmills. But luckier than Don Quixote, the sixteen-year-old boy has no faith. He walks between light and darkness, cruises between black and white, forms alliances, defeats the strong with the weak, breaks the game by entering, and builds momentum. Finally, he completes the seemingly impossible task and completely knocks the arrogant and powerful King of Qingzhou down to the dust, nailing him to the pillar of shame in Qingzhou history.

Turn your hand and clouds will appear; turn it again and rain will fall. This thought has emerged in the minds of all those who know the existence of forgiveness.

Wen Liang had been restless in recent days, so he was too lazy to go to school. He asked Zuo Yuxi to say hello to Hua Xique, and then asked Old Hua to ask Ye Yuting for a week's leave. Ding Mei couldn't control him now, and Wen Huaiming was not a pedantic person. It was not an exaggeration to say that the current situation was a matter of life and death. If these waves of attacks could not take down Zhou Yuanting, when he recovered, the counterattack would only be more fierce and ruthless. So after a brief conversation with his son, he acquiesced to his truancy.

Things have their priorities, so just deal with them according to your discretion.

On the night when Xu Fuyan went to report to Yu Peidong, Zuo Yuxi went to Lingyang first, and then went to Guanshan with Zuo Jing. Wen Liang received a call from An Baoqing at 10 o'clock in the evening. After the two met at the Great World Club, An Baoqing looked anxious. Without waiting for Wen Liang to sit down, he said in a very low voice: "Someone wants to harm Director Zuo..."

Wen Liang was shocked, but his expression didn't change at all. After this period of training, his Qi-cultivation skills had improved a lot. He said, "Don't panic. Tell me slowly. What's going on?"

An Baoqing knew that Zuo Yuxi and Wen Liang had a close relationship, like siblings. Apart from himself, he was probably the one who was most worried about Zuo Yuxi's safety, but he could face such news without showing any emotion, which made him admire her very much. Seeing Wen Liang's calm expression, he also calmed down, as if with someone in front of him, nothing was a worry.

This kind of demeanor that can influence others and stabilize military morale is a basic element that the soul figures in every circle have. An Baoqing did not realize that Wen Liang had unknowingly begun to develop the personal charm to control the Qingzhou team.

"I just got the news that some people from the coastal area have recently arrived in Guanshan. It is said that Qingzhou has placed a large order. There are some high-ranking officials among that group of people, and they are all fearless guys..."

Wen Liang frowned slightly, and An Baoqing hurriedly explained: "It's a slip of the tongue. These are all the spring points in the underworld. A gunner is a gunman, and he must be a sharpshooter." Spring points are also called lip codes. The so-called Southern Spring and Northern Spring Points, ranging from parts of the human body to occupations, food, clothing, housing, transportation, etiquette, communication, etc. in life, have everything, and they are all underworld jargon.

"Gunner?"

From 1985 to 1995, the domestic gun control was extremely chaotic. Although the Ministry of Public Security promulgated the "Gun Control Measures" in 1981, and issued two more orders to confiscate guns in 1982 and 1983, the results were minimal. It was not until 1996 that the National People's Congress passed the "Firearms Control Law of the Republic", and various lethal guns gradually disappeared, but they still exist in the black market and private factories. Wen Liang knew this, and he was not naive enough to really think that there would be no guns in the world, and everything would be fine, but he was surprised that such a secret information, how could An Baoqing know

"That group of people rarely show up in Guanshan and don't contact outsiders, so it's hard to get information. But once they enter Guanshan, they have no choice. Naturally, someone is watching their every move."

Wen Liang's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Where did you get the news?" Although it was not very clear, just from a few words, one could sense how powerful the "someone" that An Baoqing mentioned was - not only could they find this group of people among millions of people, but they could also find out their purpose and personnel composition.

What a terrifying power this is!

An Baoqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Dandelion, this is what Cat Lady told me."

Dandelion, this was the second time Wen Liang heard this name.
