Reaching the Pinnacle: Starting from Joining the Discipline Inspection Commission

Lax discipline and ineffective management of subordinates!

This is the greatest criticism a leader can receive in officialdom, and also the greatest rejection of that person.

Xiang Yuanwu was startled, unsure whether Xu Chu was only referring to the branch director and Qin Yue, or was deliberately targeting him.

But no matter what, tonight's events must be handled properly; for him, it will definitely be a qualitative change.

"Mayor Xu, do you have any instructions regarding the punishment of these two individuals?"

He spoke to Yuan Wu, hoping to ease the tension between himself and Xu Chu.

It was also a test.

To test how determined Xu Chu really was to reform Rongzhou.

He was nominally the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Rongzhou City, but in reality he was just an empty shell.

The city bureau chief, Mu Qingming, was one of Chen Dashan's men; Chen Dashan had known this for a long time, but they were unaware that he knew.

Mu Qingming, relying on the support of Chen Dashan and others, often outwardly obeyed his orders but inwardly disobeyed them, which infuriated him but left him helpless.

Tang Mingde's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope, but then something unexpected happened. So this time, he decided to wait and see before making any plans.

Upon hearing Xiang Yuanwu's words, everyone, including Wang Feng, wore thoughtful expressions.

He understood what Xiang Yuanwu was trying to express, but was unable to do so clearly due to his own circumstances.

Taking the opportunity of moving a stool for Xu Chu, he glanced at Chen Dashan and the others out of the corner of his eye and noticed that after they finished speaking to Yuan Wu, their eyes never left Xu Chu.

Seeing this, Wang Feng understood that after tonight, the landscape of Rongzhou might change once again.

Xu Chu's strength exceeded everyone's expectations, but it was also foreseeable that Chen Dashan and the others would launch an even more ferocious counterattack.

"Secretary Xiang, I recommend that these two be dismissed from their posts and thoroughly investigated. We must dig deep into their protective umbrella and ensure that whoever is found is severely punished!"

boom!

As Xu Chu finished speaking, Wang Feng clearly felt several rapid breaths around him.

One of them clearly came from Xiang Yuanwu.

He stared at Xu Chu, seemingly unable to believe that Xu Chu would make such a decision.

He knew perfectly well what this decision meant.

"Mayor Xu, why don't we deal with those two first? They're the real culprits behind this whole thing..."

Chen Dashan frowned, and Jia Chaoyang, who was standing next to him, immediately spoke up.

Wang Feng glanced at Jia Chaoyang, then at Chen Dashan, realizing that Chen Dashan had instructed Jia Chaoyang to say that.

It was obvious that they couldn't sit still after hearing Xu Chu's decision.

Most of the people in Rongzhou's public security system are their people, and the branch director in front of them and Qin Yue are no exception.

Although these two are not high-ranking, if others knew that Chen Dashan and the others were not saying or doing anything under these circumstances, they would inevitably become disloyal.

The reason those people risked their lives for Chen Dashan and his men was simply because they hoped that Chen Dashan would speak up for them and plead for them if something happened to them.

Even though they knew that doing so would offend Xu Chu, they had no choice. If they didn't even pretend, the result would only be worse than it is now.

Thinking of this, Wang Feng turned to look at Xu Chu, feeling as if everything tonight was deliberately arranged by the other party.

If that's the case, then Xu Chu's scheming ability is simply terrifying.

"What are Mayor Jia's insights?"

Xu Chu glanced at Chen Dashan, seemingly unintentionally, before fixing his gaze on Jia Chaoyang.

"Mayor Xu, you're joking. I don't have any brilliant ideas..." Jia Chaoyang sensed the coldness in Xu Chu's words, but since he had already spoken, he could only bite the bullet and continue.

"I just think it's a shame to condemn an ​​entire group of people. The bad apples are only a very small minority, and the overall situation is quite good."

"Yeah?"

After listening, Xu Chu glanced indifferently at Qin Yue and the others, then continued, "Mayor Jia, have you ever heard of an ancient saying?"

"What?"

"One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Chen Dashan's group changed slightly, with Jia Chaoyang being the first to react, his face turning extremely ugly.

"Under these circumstances, does Mayor Jia still think this porridge is edible? Or is it that Mayor Jia doesn't care about the quality of the porridge and will simply ignore this rotten apple?"

As soon as Xu Chu finished speaking, Wang Feng noticed that Jia Chaoyang's face turned extremely ugly in an instant.

Jia Chaoyang could not answer this question.

No matter how he answered, he would fall into the trap set by Xu Chu. Jia Chaoyang saw this, which is why his face turned very ugly.

"Water that is too clear has no fish, and a person who is too discerning has no followers."

Chen Dashan spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng understood that Chen Dashan and his group had lost in tonight's contest.

Chen Dashan can get others to speak, but he can't speak himself.

Because once he speaks, it means things have become complicated and are no longer a simple grassroots law enforcement issue.

"So, Secretary Chen also thinks this one bad apple doesn't matter, and the whole pot of porridge is fine, is that right?"

Xu Chu spoke.

Chen Dashan shook his head.

"The quality of a pot of porridge cannot be completely negated because of a single bad apple, because the porridge itself is good; it is bad because of that bad apple."

"If you pick out the rat droppings, the porridge will still be porridge, and hungry people can still fill their stomachs by drinking it."

After listening to Chen Dashan's opening remarks, Wang Feng couldn't help but think that there was a reason why Chen Dashan had been able to sit in this position for so many years.

This sophistry successfully shifted the blame back to Xu Chu, leaving Xu Chu to figure out how to respond to Chen Dashan.

Chen Dashan compared the porridge to Rongzhou's rapidly developing economy and the city's residents to starving people... He was subtly telling Xu Chu something.

Over the years, under my leadership, Rongzhou's economy has developed rapidly, which has enabled more people to have food to eat. Although there have been some flaws, overall the results have been good.

This means that no matter how Xu Chu answers, he will fall into Chen Dashan's linguistic trap, with the city's development on one hand and the overturning of his previous decision on the other.

Wang Feng looked at Xu Chu curiously, wondering how he would respond to Chen Dashan's words.

As the two locked eyes, an oppressive and suffocating atmosphere once again filled the detention cell.

Under this intense pressure, no one dared to make a sound, for fear of missing something.

This was Chen Dashan's first direct confrontation with Xu Chu. Their words were sharp and full of hostility, and most people wouldn't be able to withstand them.

"The moment the rat droppings fell in, the porridge was already spoiled. Even if you pick it out in time, you can't deny the fact that the porridge was already spoiled."

"Besides, you can't guarantee when it fell in. What if it's been there for a long time? Isn't Secretary Chen worried that people who eat it will get diarrhea and get sick?"

"So the best way is to just throw it away and cook a new one..."

Upon hearing Xu Chu's words, Chen Dashan's face darkened considerably; he understood the unspoken meaning behind Xu Chu's words…
