Zhang Wen's name

Li Dakang said somewhat agitatedly, "I knew nothing about Ding Yizhen's problems, and I did not condone his corruption."

Gao Yuliang said with a smile, "Secretary Li, don't get excited."

Li Dakang asked, "Am I excited?"

Governor Liu immediately stepped in to mediate, saying, "Secretary Gao, Secretary Li, let's not discuss meaningless issues. We're discussing the follow-up issues of the Guangming Peak project. This project involves a huge investment, and we absolutely cannot allow any problems to arise."

"Next, I propose that the Guangming Peak project be transferred from the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee to the Provincial Government. We will establish a special task force, with Comrade Zhang Wen as the team leader and Comrade Li Dakang as the deputy team leader."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Li Dakang felt like his world had collapsed. "Governor Liu, our Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee can handle the follow-up issues. Can we avoid transferring them to the Provincial Government?"

Zhang Wen smiled and said, "Secretary Li, as far as I know, it seems that Jingzhou doesn't have enough money to continue completing this project."

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang immediately shut up. It seemed the project was going to fail. What about my GDP? What about my governor?

Seeing this, Sha Ruijin stepped in to smooth things over, suggesting that since there was a dispute, a vote should be taken by raising hands. As a result, all 13 votes passed unanimously.

Nobody's stupid. It's unwise to offend the governor at this time. Besides, the economy can develop, and everyone has contributed to it. There's no need to offend anyone.

After everyone finished voting, Secretary Gao also expressed his opinion, "It's been two months since Secretary Sha proposed freezing the appointment of cadres. May I ask if we can bring it up for discussion now?"

When the other provincial party committee members saw Gao Yuliang bring up the issue, they all looked at Sha Ruijin. Sha Ruijin's face darkened again. Sha Ruijin wanted to put his own people on that list, but the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Tian Guofu, didn't work hard enough and only found a few division-level cadres.

Seeing that things were beyond his control, Sha Ruijin had no choice but to make excuses, saying, "I discovered that many of the cadres on that appointment list were involved in corruption."

Gao Yuliang smiled and said, "Secretary Sha, we can ask the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission to investigate corrupt officials, but we can't just make sweeping generalizations about those who aren't corrupt. Doing so will dampen the enthusiasm of our comrades."

Governor Liu said, "Secretary Yuliang is right. If there are problems, we can investigate them. If there are no problems, then we are still good comrades."

Other members of the Standing Committee also began to advocate for themselves. Seeing this, Sha Ruijin knew he couldn't delay any longer, or his work would be stalled if he angered the public.

"Since everyone agrees that we should loosen up, let's discuss this together. Organization Minister, could you please elaborate on the specifics?"

Organization Minister Wu Chunlin said, "Based on the suggestions of all comrades, the total number of comrades appointed is about 125. Apart from the 48 cadres with problems found by the Discipline Inspection Commission, the remaining 77 comrades are still our good comrades."

Sha Ruijin said, "These 77 cadres are still good comrades, and I agree in principle. However, I have heard that some of our cadres have improper private lives and have been visiting the Shanshui Manor for a long time, such as Comrade Qi Tongwei."

Li Dakang said, "I can say with certainty that Comrade Qi Tongwei rose to power through flattery and sycophancy."

Gao Yuliang smiled and said, "I would like to offer a different perspective. Comrade Qi Tongwei is indeed very capable. He is a drug enforcement hero who fought on the front lines despite being shot three times. Our comrades always like to spread rumors. Is this what our party cadres should do?"

Upon seeing this, Sha Ruijin quickly said, "If there's controversy surrounding Comrade Qi Tongwei, then let's put the proposal for him to become vice governor on hold. Meeting adjourned." With that, Sha Ruijin led the way out of the meeting room.
